Two.:.Four.:.Six

It was one of my worst days and the beginning of the 'bad times'. And this year, this time... I had fun at the photoshoot in the morning. And I went to do something which I have not done for a while; with someone whom I've not done that something with for years. Shopping with Jooe at Orchard. Anyway, I just wanna thank my 3 dear friends for the phone conversation a year ago. We'll see how this year, this time, goes...

From next month end onwards, I cannot complain about my bosses... Nevertheless, am happy for you and let's work hard together!

(One) Self-created (mini) fireworks. (Two) A kid all over again... Megan turns 2. (Three) (Another) Wedding dinner.

it's been a somewhat lousy week and I don't know exactly which part of it is lousy... How do I pick up the pieces? Pretend they were not there? Why am I feeling pmsy when I really shouldn't?

The loud family next door is talking about eating paus - the son's complaining his dad ate the paus but the dad said the son ate all 3. Anyway, that reminded me of my younger days when my mum used to buy our favourite food that were insufficient for the whole family. For example, she would buy 3 mangoes for the 4 of us and we had to share. Well, most of the time, my bro & I had the luxury of having one each. And then when it comes to other food, she'll go, "let the kids eat more, they like it." But I didn't understand. If everyone likes it, why not buy more? We may not be rich but I'm sure we could afford 1 more mango, no? I think it's a way of Chinese parents showing their love and it shouldn't be this way. But times have changed. Last week, she didn't buy 3 mangoes. There were 6. More than enough. And then the question was, who's having the extra? I didn't.

After climbing the 138++ steps for a week, I realise there are a lot of people who seem to be doing worse than me. I've seen men who stopped halfway to catch their breath. I've seen the out-of-breath faces at the top (I know mine's not any better) and I'm sorry to feel good when I walk past those who are making their way up while I make mine down. Anyway, I'm with History Channel and no, it's not under Discovery Channel. We are a company/channel on our own. Yesterday was sweetie's 2nd birthday. Pictures later. With some delay here & there, Mr. Grumpy missed half of the match. Fortunately, not only did Liverpool score enough to win the match, he too scored a few more brownie points with my family.

Yesterday was mainly Maths and today's PE. Climbing the steps aside, I spent 3hrs packing posters and in the warehouse. And before that was the 1hr lunch rush, not to eat but to Tanglin Mall just to fill up some stupid forms which in this era, such procedure is very laughable; and back to office with only 2 breads from a Delifrance look-alike but taste far worse. Not that Delifrance's very nice to begin with. I almost gave up on the last bit of bread since the fillings were all gone but decided against it. I made myself guilty by thinking about the poor people out there who are starving and that I myself, am not that rich either. Actually, I seldom waste food because I'm always hungry! Anyway, cutie is 4 today. Biao Yee wishes you a very Happy Birthday and may you be healthy and obedient. Extra points when you are not in your 'xi qi' mode I swear so there, be good boy la. Love you always.

I was late again. Ironically, was one of the earliest still. I spent the whole day sorting out invoices, looking at the dept's and other individuals' expenses. More work coming my way. In the midst of figures staring, I had this temptation to chop off my hair again. Can't stand the neither here nor there hair length and the curls! But I have been patient with the slow (hair growing) process and I don't want to give up just like that... But I'm also more tempted after I saw HS' new look. Decisions, decisions... Btw, it feels good to see light when I step out of the train station. And the train ride itself takes only 10mins, the most 15. But the sickening thing is the mad rush with zillions of start-work-at-9am people and the unpredictable arrival timing of the buses. Alright, I just like to complain... 1 more hour to bedtime.

For 2 Saturdays, we had plans to go to the beach and it rained. And when we decided to give up on the 3rd Sat, it was sunny like nobody's business. Never mind that it poured at night because by then, beach-goers will be very satisfied with their sunkissed skin. So there, the sun hates us. My first day didn't start off well. I was stuck at the junction for a good whole 15mins when the turn takes only a few mins normally. And then I had to climb the 138 steps. Before I could catch my breath, I had to climb more steps. This is what happens when someone doesn't exercise. At the end of the day, after climbing those steps up & down twice, I had a phobia of stairs. But, I will conquer that soon. Can't wait to see if it does anything to my weight.

Yesterday, I didn't knock off on the dot. There was a farewell dinner for me at 7ish. I didn't cry too. Didn't feel too sad. In fact, didn't feel like I have resigned. Ha, and my replacement and I share the same name. They said this is to show how much they're gonna miss me. I think it's for convenience's sake. So that clients will think the same person is still around and my email account can still be used. I didn't have a good sleep too. Bad dreams. And I woke up at 8am today! Before I know it, 2 days will be up and it's a brand new beginning.

I shall say my goodbyes and thank yous, knock off on the dot, come home have dinner and have a really good sleep. Tomorrow... I shall try not to get too emo.
