Here's a little note to my commanders:
When you say that you are coming for work today, especially on the last working day of the year, please keep to your word. Otherwise, it is actually pointless for the entire unit to be waiting for you and you alone.
I met Lionel, Ee Xuan and Andrea today at Food Republic. I was supposed to meet them at 5pm but because of a late book-out and an over-zealous Zara Fan Jacob is, I failed to hitch a ride from him. Actually, he failed to wait for me. Ended up, I only managed to meet them at 7.10pm. I was extremely late. I was so flustered.
Anyhow, I spent 10 dollars on Tim Sum. Just 3 baskets of Tim Sum! The price of the food there is somewhat exorbitant. I was supposed to treat them to drinks but they chose desert instead declined my offer to pay for them.
We sat at one of the longer tables. Just the four of us. There were two couples, a husband and wife and a mother and her baby, both unknowingly waiting for our table. Things got a little ugly and the husband even harassed me to force me to take a side and choose who I wish to offer the table to after we are done. Lionel was so pissed off with the man. I almost shaft my Prawn Dumpling into the man's mouth for disturbing my dinner. It's your business and your wife's business. If you cannot get a seat for your wife then blame it on your inability and don't expect the diner to take sides. I just want a peaceful meal. Don't piss me off! Let me eat in peace.
We left. The situation was resolved. Both couples took half the table. The audacity of some people.
I am surprised that Kino doesn't have the Complete Chronicles of Narnia with the lion face as it's cover. I am talking about the book which I saw at Borders which cost about $38.75 I think. I should have bought it the other day rather then deliberate, especially since I had a 30% discount on any full price book. Now, I may have to go back to Borders and check it out again. I surprise myself sometimes.
I want to go for the chocolate buffet at One Fullerton. I am so eagerly anticipating the chocolate fondue and everything sweet. Imagine a walk down the esplanade after dinner. Ain't that a lovely evening...hmm...
I want to learn how to play tennis. I figured that after trying for so many sports, I think racket sports are more my kind of thing. I need someone out there to teach me. However, be prepared for the ball to hit everywhere else but back to you or if it does, just dodge it as I don't want to hurt you. Guess, that's the price of having to teach me...hee...
till later...
