I finally did the deed today - Threw in the letter in the morning and well, I received no reply from him (Did he expect this would definitely happen, just that if it was a sooner or later thingy?) I asked Yam Gal why he did not reply and she told me that he emailed her instead; and he had wanted to know my reason for wanting to leave as well as if I had wanted to offset my 2-week notice period with my 21 days of leave (I would be insane if I said "yes"!) What turned me off was that since I was the involved party, why didn't he ask me directly? Did he know that he portray himself as a coward by asking a 3rd party to ask me? Anyway, I am so glad that I am going to leave this rotten company in 2 weeks' time. God bless those who are still struggling to survive in the bowels of the organization!
Last Friday evening, Fat Boy brought me to have Peranakan cuisine at the Peranakan Inn & Lodge in East Coast Road. It was something different from the usual medium-rare steak and red wine : ) We had sambal kang kong, sambal sotong in banana leaf, babi ponteh, ayam buah keluak, seluar fish topped with sambal chilli (It felt very homely and comforting to the tummy : ) ) We strolled along the shophouses before purchasing a couple of Kim Choo rice dumplings home (I love bak chang!) We went home to play a few rounds of poker cards with Gramps while watching TV before turning in.
I chose to ignore the alarm when it rang at 9am on Saturday morning. It was only after a couple of snoozes that I reluctantly crept out of bed to wash up and get ready for our JB trip : / (JB is really like Singapore to me. We seem to go there almost every weekend) As usual, we had lunch at Old Town Cafe. I am so hooked onto their Ipoh Chicken Hor Fan and White Coffee (Gao) - simply means thick : D~ We proceeded to Printemps only to realize that we had got the dates wrongly (I was only supposed to try on and collect the altered ROM dress next Saturday. Boo)
We strolled around the shopping mall for a while before driving around (and getting lost) JB. We finally settled for seafood dinner at Taman Seri Tebrau - Had stir-fried kale, chilli crab, pork ribs and sweet and sour fish. I was so damn full and tired that we went home to watch TV (Well, we are TV lovers : P )
As for yesterday, after brunch of wanton noodles, I told Fat Boy that I want to go Treetop Walk at MacRitchie Reservoir to get in touch with Nature. He agreed and suggested we have a short nap first. However, we were so engrossed being in slumberland that we missed the timing (We woke up at 4pm, which was too late for the 1 hour half walk!) That feeling of regret dissipitated the moment we plopped onto the sofa and watch TV (again and again...) We went for zi char dinner at a coffeeshop in Holland Village and visit Aunt Auring, who had a stroke a couple of weeks back, at her house...
Guess that sums up the activities over the weekend : D
