All in a day’s of work

The weekend breezed by pretty swiftly. I was stuck in my duvet for most of the weekend, and I seriously can’t remember what I did.

Maybe lotsa fingers exercised. Don’t ask. And no, it’s not what you think it is.

I didn’t even realise today has passed by this fast, and it is almost time to go home. I was amazed that an old dress I didn’t wear for the longest while, has magically transformed me to be the “shu nu” of the company today.

They say I look so demure! They say I look so angelic(ok, fine, I made this one up), and most importantly, I look teacherish, and it’s Teachers’ day today! And I remember I used to go back to my primary school on teachers’ day, but I obviously missed this year’s.

My eyes seem like it might never fit another pair of lens again, and I am indeed very sad. I was encouraged to go see a specialist before I might go blind. HUH!!!

So my black-framed glasses made me look like those teachers you used to fantasize about.

During meeting today, I was playing music for my colleague. Heh.

Radiohead’s Creep.

And part of my day was moving this huge box of stuff to do manual factory work.

I ended up giggling when my colleague helping me carrying was complaining I was making strange noises(I was huffing and puffing and ouching cos he cornered me into hitting many things along the aisle. I thought I was going to break some bones), and everyone laughed. I laughed and I nearly dropped the box onto my toes.

And then, the work started.

I only managed to finish with one big box of 25 cos I didn’t want to risk break my back. The said male colleague who helped wouldn’t want to go through the trauma of hearing me breathe heavily, I think.

Of course, there was fun in the job as well, say, the past 2 weeks have been lots of mooncakes stuffing, as we try to decide which mooncakes are the best.

I think I am still a traditional mooncake kinda girl. And don’t buy Jack’s place mooncakes.

Of course, other perks including having a dinner with the Indonesian press a month ago(29th July), with my colleague sending me home thereafter. It was a nice drive, topless.

And I didn’t realise I was already looking at various escape routes back then ;)

And of course, last week was the start of Comex, and the crowd was crazy. My fear of heights meant that I had to wait for the darn lift instead.

I tell you, you don’t laugh ok? I forgot my paper bag, thus I had to head up to 4th floor. But by then, my colleague had left. So I braved the escalator.

And by the time I got to the 3rd floor, my legs went soft and my palms were sweating too much. I decided I was too much of a wuss to head up to 4th floor.

So I waited for 20 minutes at this lift.

Until I could bear it no longer and called another staff to help me to bring it down for me at the 3rd floor. Hahaha.

It was Wisma for me on Saturday morning, where CLEO was holding their covergirl search. Girls, you should seriously check it out cos the makeover deal is awesome!

For 30 bucks of registration fee, you get a makeover, and then your cost is offset by a $30 voucher.

My manager bought us nice breakfast at coffeebean, and I went for a little walk-around before heading home.






The search will continue this weekend at Raffles City, so do drop by, and you could be the next CLEO covergirl ;)

And that evening, Daniel picked me up to meet up with Stephanie at Casuarina Prata, and it was fabulous prata for supper!

Yum. I love my colleagues :)

Got home to chill…

And started my Sunday with …

I need to get my ass out of the house on weekends, I think.

I am thinking of dipping in the pool today. *Beams*
