Away For A Week...

Last Thursday, both Claudia and I went to meet Gisela, the HR executive of a French bank. To be frank, I was quite reluctant to have lunch with her because I always feel that the precious 1 hour belongs to me, yet I still have to put on a mask and entertain her (Bah!) As Claudia had some issues with her candidate, I rushed down to Tanjong Pagar to meet up with Gisela before making our way to Munch, a cafe that sells all kinds of salad (You name it, you have it! Unfortunately, I am not a salad person, hence it made no difference to me)

Ordered a set meal of a bowl of greens with chicken shredding and a big scoop of tuna chunks (which was a disaster), minestrone soup and a glass of iced tea. While trying to figure how to dump the damn stuff down my throat, I was bombarded by Gisela with her questions of "What is the market rate of a HR generalist and a Compensation & Benefits specialist?" and "Any intention to leave your current company? If no, why not?" (which made me felt pissed and stifled) Fortunately, Claudia arrived just in time to divert her attention away from me : ) After swallowing the damn stuff, I felt relieved and at the same time, wanted to kick myself for paying S$12.80 for such crap. I promised myself never to step into the cafe.

Makes one wonder if it's for human consumption.

In the evening, I met up with King Kong before proceeding to the Tuckshop to have dinner with the SPI members : ) Was quite disappointed with the food - Flat, but expensive. After a hearty dinner of lemon batter pan fried fish with mash and a handful of onion and calamari rings, we left the minimalist cafe for the night bazaar in Chinatown. The place was terribly crowded and it was drizzling : ( Squeezed into and out of the crowd and left the place empty-handed (There were really nothing much to buy except Taiwanese mochi) As it was still early, one of the members, AK, suggested drinks at Club 9 - We agreed without hesitation : ) The place was not as sleazy as it seemed and we had great fun throwing darts, singing KTV as well as drinking beer : )

Nothing much for Saturday as I went to JB to purchase New Year goodies. Had wanted to buy some nice clothings and accessories, but couldn't find anything suitable, hence I bought zilch : (

As for Sunday, I slept till 11am (What a beautiful life!), had my lunch and watched "Stairway to Heaven" - Was sad that the female lead ultimately died after her secret admirer donated his cornea to her by committing suicide : ( Went to Dickie Boi's mobile phone shop with Fat Boy because the latter's new mobile phone couldn't work really well, hence, needed some minor servicing. After that, both of us went to Far East Plaza to shop for my new year clothings. Bought a red dress and 3 belts : ) Had wanted to buy another dress and a business shirt, but reckoned it would be a waste of money since they couldn't fit very well..

Sleeping beauty eh?

As for today, after the weekly sales meeting, both King Kong and I had dinner at Sakae Sushi in Marina Square before strolling to Suntec City and Bugis, and finally taking a bus home. I felt so bushed such that I could just drop dead in the bus...

Arghhh...dammit. Tomorrow's only Tuesday...
