So, my blog was down for a few days because the creator of the template has exceeded his/her bandwidth and I wasn't in the mood to do something about it until today.
Well, it was quite an easy problem to solve actually but it just all boils down to laziness.
Hmm, I have been away from this blog for so so long that it has been severely neglected. Just a rundown on events from the previous weeks when I had gone 'missing'.
I went for the Korean comedy dance-show
"Breakout" on its last night of show and its a totally different genre of performance from those that I usually go to. I usually either go for plays, concerts or musicals but this is a totally different experience. And that being a comedy makes it even more different. Anyway, the plot and the actors made the whole experience really fun and interesting and I was laughing away most of time, as with all others in the Esplanade Theatre. So, I went with my sister, aunt and my cousin and my aunt and cousin was like totally fascinated by the whole venue and the performance. According to my aunt, he was already gesturing around in the bus, trying to imitate those performers and their dance moves from the show. He even told my aunt to bring him if they were going to have a sequel.
Moving on, we finally had a belated birthday dinner with kutu and gang. We had initially decided to go to Little India nearby for the French food but when we reached the place, alas it was closed on Mondays!! Having no choice, alternate dining option was at Mohammad Sultan.
So our initial plan of going to Mustafa to buy a garland for kutu was foiled as we didn't even got near to Mustafa! And we got the silly woman a gift, which I think was extremely useless, and she loves it to bits. No prize for guessing but it was some Hello Kitty thingy that didn't exactly cost cheap. And I think her birthday resolution was to turn me into a Hello Kitty fan just like herself, mx and pr. I will NEVER succumb to such nonsensical pressure!! NEVER! Especially not from kutu who will not turn against my wishes, for fear of losing my love. Heh!
Next! (Bear with me as I am trying to cram 3 weeks worth of activities into 1 post. You are free to leave if you think I am getting too long-winded ;))
On Friday, I attended a conference conducted by the Tax Academy of Singapore talking about the recent changes in Budget 2009. After that conference, which I
fell asleep got a little distracted by Zhou Gong, I seriously wonder how people sit through all these and emerge fully awake and attest to having paid attention to everything! On the other hand, it made me even more aware of the fact that an Arts student should not try to understand Business, more so Tax. Haha.
Well, at least something redeeming happened at night. 2 of the academic colleagues gave a treat at Pearl River Restaurant at Suntec for their promotion. So, the whole office of 25 trooped down to Suntec for dinner after work. It was ala carte buffet and I'm sure all the big eaters in my school were very very happily eating to their hearts' content.
Just as I thought that, hey I got a free dinner, I fell sick subsequently. -_-"
Not exactly a very good way to enjoy my weekend. After the dinner, I got a sore throat, Saturday the runny nose came visiting and on Sunday I was sneezing away. So, I got an MC on Monday. BUT, although I was on MC, somehow there were still so many things for me to do. On that day itself, I went to renew my passport at the post office, went to the bank to close an account and went to another bank to deposit the money then went back home to see my sister studying in the kitchen.
Oh, digressing a little here. The sister has taken to studying in the kitchen as she claims that it was very quiet and no distractions (except from food I guess). So whenever my mum wants to go into the kitchen, she just sort of tip-toe into the kitchen and creep out silently.
Back to me being sick. Despite having a MC for Monday, I still had to go back to work on Tuesday, still sniffling away and feeling miserable. I was telling my colleagues in the office that I was back to spread the germs. I want to make everyone suffer together with me! Muahahaha. And I did sort of manage to spread it to someone! My neighbour! Around Thursday, he said he felt feverish and sick and when he went back to measure his temperature, he was running a fever. Heh. Someone to feel as miserable as me!
Okok, I think patience is running low but hey, the patient bird gets the worm right? :)
Last of the update post, Saturday UniSIM Open House.
Well, we were rostered for duties on Saturday for the open house. So basically, we had to stand around our individual schools' booth and try to sell our programmes, so to speak. I was telling some of my colleagues that we must take on the surname of "Wang" on that day itself because we had to 老王卖瓜.
Anyway, we had to tell potential students more about our programmes and
con persuade them to come join us in UniSIM. We are one big happy family!
So, after talking to students for one whole day, I found out that I really quite enjoy such jobs. Interacting and talking to people on an ad-hoc basis and more of talking nonsense to them. Although it is really quite tiring and the programme briefing that I was in-charge of had an overwhelming number of people surging into the LT and me trying to entertain everyone of them, while feeling really really warm and wishing that I had 8 tentacles just like an octopus.
With all that over, me, cw and jy happily went to Carrefour for their Midnight Sale. So in the end, I came back with a new TV-plug-in console game with 30 in-built games and 2 packets of bacon., because my sister promised to cook bacon for me as long as I buy it. :)
This is an absurdly long post and I am not aspiring to be one of those who update their blog regularly but with mundane things, like what they did everyday. So, this is it.
