Virginity

Ok this post's all about first-times n what-nots. Hence "virginity"...

I'm going Penang-Malacca-KL this December, with Reuben and some other friends. Our virgin trip as friends post-breakup. Our First (in-the-flesh) Meet Up as "friends". Dude, I know you're reading this.. hee. Am I jittery? You bet I am!!! But we promised we'll keep it light-hearted and we will make it happen. Yeah?

......

YEAH!!! *fist in air*

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I lost my All Blacks namecard holder. To my utter dismay and disbelief, it is -officially- lost. Maybe slipped outta my bag at the cinema, or dropped it in the car. Well it's not just SOME (cheapo) namecard holder ya noe....>> It's the FIRST Namecard Holder I bought for myself to mark the start of my career life. It was bought on my FIRST Graduation Tour, also my FIRST Trip to New Zealand. It's my FIRST ALL-BLACKS item from an authentic/registered ALL-BLACKS boutique on Queen Street (not some pseudo cheong thingy from pasar malam).

And, it's the first time I've lost it. Hope it's the last (after I've found it)... Doesn't help that it contains my First Namecard Upon Graduation, and my -First- Namecard from Brunei. F*** Murphy's Law.....

I was planning my Virgin Trip to Bangkok before this. Msning Des and discussing which hotel to stay. Hendrix brought his fren, Karen, to our kopi session last Sunday night near Ed's cafe. Over the choc cupcakes I made and deliciously sinful Starbucks beverages, we decided right there and then on going Bangkok together this coming January.

Yup, just like that. My First Bangkok Trip was set just like that.. in under 2 hours flat. Somemore I'm going with a gal I've known for less than 3 hours. Hendrix's put in charge of tickets. Me and Des, accomodation. First time I decided so quickly on an overseas trip... Lol.

Been babysitting our Group Chairman's youngest son since last Wednesday. U got it right, my First Time Babysitting Boss's Kid/s. GROUP CHAIRMAN'S SON somemore. Da Prince...

Well, technically not a "baby" coz he's all 13 years of age. Pretty nice boy, safe for being a teeeeeeny little bit pesky at times. Keke.. The First Time I Knew I Can be So Patient was a sorta Relevation to me. Never really knew how to handle kids, but my colleagues all took their hats off me for being able to tahan that little rascal.

"Wahlau... he's so damn irritating!!!" My colleague who sits diagonally opposite me exclaimed in exasperation. Think she almost tore out her hair... haha.

I do have a soft spot for him, to be honest. That boy's brilliant. A bit too full of himself and too full of questions at times..... but he's a kid after all. Plus he knows where to draw the line. Or maybe I look really scary when i'm stern with him, haha... Am i gonna miss him when he leaves for Beijing tis fri? Yeah......... I pretty much guess I will. Though he's sticky as glue, and is always ceaselessly chattering about things. Maybe I'm starting to treat him like my own little brother; didn't have the privilege to play big sis/bro in my family. Shall shop for his farewell gift tomorrow. That little charmer......

As you can tell, a lot of "First's" been happening this week. Not to mention my first time baking and cooking for new friends, my first 20min-long phone chat with a colleague I seldom talk to in person, my first time reading Who Moved My Cheese.. etc etc etc. Perhaps like what the book said, you gotta go with the Cheese and venture into the maze where surprises lie in wait. Perhaps these are just a few along the way.. there'll be more, defintely. But I'll not get hemmed in. For sure :)
