alright. i've been taking a break from blogging indeed, well not intentionally.. was just too busy sleeping and doing some other stuff.. but as we can see, someone has made full use of my blogger account ehem.. maybe i should start from the beginning of the week. here's a quick recap:hrrmm on monday i boldly asked my boss for 2 days (wed n fri) leave, to officially make this week my break with the 2 public holidays and he allowed it haha.. one week off and it was simply great. sometimes we just need to rest, for the sake of longer road right?
i went to my fave hairstylist at toa payoh after work, he did two-colour highlight for me.. it's amusing to see my hair now.. i guess i just wanted something new (no funny reason) well no matter what ppl say, i do like my new hair =)
tuesday was a happening day! we had sub-D event 'wild wild west' at west coast. there were quite a lot of people, many unfamiliar faces. i didn't know anyone from my team haha so we had a quick intro and just started the game. gosh the first station was a traumatizing one for me, i think i was not fully prepared to climb, swing and jump... how did i manage to finish it? by telling myself 'i can do this' over and over haha..
as we continued on to the next task, i felt much more courageous that i managed to climb that spiderweb thingy all the way to the top, it was so scary man.. actually i still can't believe that i completed that task LOL. the guys were very supportive.. Bien, Duc and Eric.. they really helped us (the gals) a lot. i think we all did a great job, not forgetting the amazing 'ong bak' stunt by Bien ahaaha... (should have added 10 pts for that) well we got the third place ><
it was very fun.. got to know many new friends and i believe there were quite a number of pre-believers as well. must thank Nic and the others for organizing this, i know it's not easy. i hope i can get the photos and post some here..
i reached home feeling half dead (i salute those who still went to geylang for shopping). with my last energy i played a few rounds of mahjong, a glorious one haha.. plus supper at chomp2.. well i could hardly wake up on wed.. my whole body was aching. thank God for the leave.
i hereby declare that wednesday was my shopping day. i went out with shirls to bugis, we bought some gifts, clothes etc etc.. and we watched 'oliver twist'. for more info, you can read shirls' blog but i totally agree that it is a very good movie. i like it A LOT and oliver is such a dear =)
we wrapped the day with a nice dinner.. horror on how much money we spent within 8 hours....
it was not easy to wake up on thursday as well. went to nexus for paradise live concert, a good one indeed, missed some parts though. justin took a lot of pics (refer to his blog) >< to stand and greet ppl with a smile is a joy.
after that we went to this steak restaurant at suntec to celebrate susi's bday (a very early one)
it was great, we took quite a lot of pics, good dinner, good talk. ended the day at starbucks and the mp3 gift had definitely made her day ><
nic almost killed me for not inviting her to this small celebration, i thought wenjun did, and wenjun thought i did.. which turned out that no one did the invitation to her.. hahaah but thank God she found out and joined us after all. anyway i love this pic =p
i woke up very late this morning, thank God for the leave once again. was late for the lunch date (supposedly celebrating reagan's bday) but you know what, reagan himself was very late too -_- anyway we went to eat dimsum hahaa i love dimsum, won't get tired of it, and true enough i ate A LOT.. well it's a buffet anyway.
walked around and round and round.. ok skip all the details.. that's about all. haha man i'm so tired.. i think it's really time to rest.
reflection no 1: what am i grumbling about? (Isa 29:24)
