Eve of NY Eve
Sooooo tired. Everytime when I've a head-to-toe scrubbadub at unearthly hours, I'd wished I were botak instead. Serious! You won't know how painful the waiting-for-hair-to-dry process is man (unless you're a girl or one of those Axl Rose wannabes). Argh if only I can go GI Jane.. wait kenna fired by boss, haha.
Today damn slack. All the big guns ain't around - Reb, Mas on leave. Pat had fever. S's in BKK for her aunt's funeral. Damn empty the office. Nearly fell asleep (again). Housekept to keep awake. Call me auntie, but I'm a bit bit 'pantang' when it comes to certain things. Like I believe must clear out the old clutter, dustbin must be empty, etc in order to welcome the arrival of a good year. Grins. So basically by end of the day, my drawers are cleared, except for important stuff. My dustbin's empty. My papers neatly straightened out. And my cows are all in strategic fengshui positions on me desk. Heh heh. Like that 2006 confirm HUAT!!!
Hai.. really like auntie.
Well, whole company's released at 3pm. Same as last Fri.. Though only a week ago, but seems like 3 weeks has passed. Maybe too haps already the X'mas weekend. Lack zzz plus booze equals STM (short term memory). Meeting the office gang for dinner at 7, so me and Angie went to jalan jalan in town first. I was lugging this heavy bag of work and clutter around the shops too. Who tell me be so pantang....
Town's pretty packed despite working hours. Maybe most on halfday... Went Raffles City cos it's safely shielded from da ass-scorching sun. Saw this huge SALE signboard outside Ralph Lauren and went in WITHOUT thoughts of leaving with anything. But alas, if I could predict the future I wouldn't be here BLOGGING already. Chanced upon a black mini skirt, tried it on and VOILA! I gotta have it. A mighty STEAL I tell u - was $126, but now it's going at $39! Ralph Lauren at that!!! *victorious laughter*
Feet ached after 2 hours of elbowing people (on purpose AND accidentally). Sneaked wedges and soft yummy french loaf in at Cartel..... Chum, confirm cannot eat much during dinner. Walked to Millenia and on the way, picked up a pair of shorts from Adidas. There's a lot of new stock!!!! I'm heading there again next week to buy more casual wear. Shall drag Des along since he also siao Adidas. Keke.
Outback's full house! Luckily Yayat could get a table for us 8. Gang was clueless, so I made some recommendations. Waiter informed me that Yayat personally cooked for us. Heh and of course everything was good, save for Adrian's steak which was a tad too bloody for his liking. But overall it's really good. As usual, (friendly) crossfire between me and Clarence served as entertainment for the rest. Poor Angie stuck in between the missiles and bombs and ammo, haha. Everyone chitchatted with everyone, something that I enjoy a lot cos no one's left out. Then dunno who decided to start a rumor for me, and stupid Clarence volunteered Teck Whye.
"Can la.. One's witty and noisy; the other's blur and dazed. You complement each other well man," gave me a fat thumbs up and nod of approval.
Stefan quickly added a line that became the ultimatum statement for the night,
"Or Clarence la. HEY, WAIT a min.. You guys do have a bit of husband-wife look!"
Everybody turned to look and laughed their steak calories away. Amid "yayaya i agree" and "hahaha", both of us were tryin to fend and save whatever last bit of pride we have. Stupid people..... anyhow tekan me. Go back office then you know....
Adjourned to (where else?) Paulaners for post-dinner drinks. Roy, Pris, Wong and Joan joined us soon after. A bit tired, had only a .5 dark. Stayed till 1 and Wong sent us back.
Sleepy. Watery eyes. Unstifiable yawns. Thus I shall retreat to the comfort of my bed. Tomorrow no plans, think I'd just stay at home do a quiet countdown. Hmmm....
