My Saturday was burnt once again. That was the 2nd Saturday since Bintan (came home at around 4pm on Saturday!) Dread it because I couldn't have my me-time : ( This time round, it was the quarterly workshop (I don't see the point). It was held at Hotel Rendezvous (Bah! Getting lousier and lousier!) and the worst thing about the whole affair was that we had to arrive at 8am sharp!
As I slept at 2am on Friday night, I had problems waking up on Saturday morning : ( Jumped out of bed and quickly took a quick shower before choosing what clothes to wear. Settled for a black short-sleeved shirt and a pencil skirt. Just when I thought I could save money by taking the MRT, my eyeliner failed me : ( No matter how hard I drew, I just couldn't achieve balance on both sides. Angry, I just did whatever I could and proceeded to blow my hair to prevent flyaways : ( (The price of vanity!) After that, I quickly gulped down the warm honey drink that Gramps prepared for me and dashed out of the house. As the time was already 7:20am, I reckoned I would be terribly late if I were to take the MRT, hence I took the cab - The damage was S$6.80 (What the hell)
I was early when I arrived - Most of my colleagues had not turned up and I was looking around the place and going to the ladies to ensure my hair was in place. Finally, the event started at 8am sharp and we had fun with the presentations and games (No doubt, I still prefer my me-time!) Time passed faster this time round as brainstorming sessions were omitted and very soon, we had lunch at the Straits Cafe. Initially thought that its buffet was good, but it was a disappointment - Had some pieces of sashimi and sushi, a bowl of laksa soup with tau pok and a whole mountain of rock melon! : )
After such lousy lunch, Adeline, Sharon, Sunshine Boy and I walked to a bazaar at SMU before proceeding to This Fashion to shop for clothes (Unfortunately, there was nothing much for me to buy : ( ) As I was feeling drowsy from the humid weather and a full stomach, I headed straight home for a nap whereas both Adeline and Deryx went to Adam's house (We bumped into him on the street) for drinks and Sharon went window-shopping with her mother-in-law.
It was indeed fantastic to have a short nap : ) Recharged, I met up with Fat Boy for dinner at Sakae Sushi before catching a Thai horror movie, Body #19, before I went home. Well, though the 1st half of my Saturday was burnt, I was glad that I had a tiny bit of me-time for myself : )
(I just hope that the next quarterly workshop doesn't come so fast! I hate my Saturdays burnt!)
