Today marks the end of the back-to-back public holidays (Christmas and Chinese New Year) that we thoroughly enjoyed. Yeah, it's time to get back to serious business : / (What the fuck) It makes me wonder how to tune to work mode - I seriously have zero mood to even edit resumes, what's more hit high sales? (Heck it, man...)
Last Friday evening, I had company dinner at Cherry Garden in Mandarin Oriental Hotel (See? My Friday was burnt) If not for Yam Gal and Sunshine Boy, I contemplated not attending at all. The food was seriously bad except for the yu sheng and shark's fin soup (and that also happened to be the killer, with loads of cornstarch!) I really don't fancy delicacies that are multi-coated with cornstarch and MSG, despite looking oh-so-delicious. We left the hotel feeling so damn bloated (...and it left me phobic of meat for the next few days) Though it was a bad idea to down beer on bloated intestines, the need to chill with some ice cold was overwhelming - We headed to Alleybar for some booze and lotsa gossip ; )
As for last Saturday, Fat Boy and I went to Johor Bahru to shop for a wedding package. Initially, our plan was to take a look at Dawn's Wedding after lunch, but the colourful decor at Printemps caught my eye, hence, we strolled into the artsy looking bridal boutique instead ; ) After browsing through the many portfolios and much negotiation for a better price and more items, we decided to go for it and paid a small deposit before heading to the movies : ) (Yay!) Our Saturday night did not end there, we met up with the SPI guys for beer at Bali House in Orchard Road back in Singapore ; P However, we did not join them for supper at Liang Seah Street as we thought sleep would be much preferred (How to gorge at 3am?!)
As for yesterday, I woke up at 11am as I had to get ready for Sworn Sista's arrival. Despite our watered-down relationship, we continued with the annual house-visiting practice as if nothing had changed : / Fat Boy and I reached home at 3pm and we quickly had our 40 winks before going to Godpa's house for dinner : D (Too bad it was a Sunday, hence everybody left before 10pm)
As if it was a non-working day the following day, we played poker cards with Gramps who won 11 bucks from us >: ( We only slept at 1:30am because it was unhealthy to sleep with a full tummy! (Fat Boy was hungry and cooked abalone-flavoured noodles and I was so tempted by the aroma that I drank lotsa MSG-laden soup!!)
