Fierce Bloggers
have u guys read Xiaxue's blog? jeez, i hope the existence of mine never gets into her ears and incur the wrath of her fury. i think it's more than suffice to say that i'm happy just sharing my life w my frenz. Jensen's post on the climbing blog stirred my curiosity on all the hype surrounding the more 'famous' bloggers of today. anw, shan't talk much abt tt anyway..
Awesome Weekend!
wow.. a good distraction away from thinking abt work. a nice dinner @ BrownSugar Cafe Bistro tucked away in River Valley away from the crowd on a Saturday night to celebrate my boy's bday. less the disappointment that they don't have any birthday promotions of any type as stated in the email reply from the boss of the place, the food was pretty good. (anw, i gave my feedback to the boss and he actually said he'd like to invite me back for a meal for 2, on the house! nice boss eh?) the bill came up to quite a bit, tho i was already expecting to pay abt $100 before the meal. considering what we ordered: deconstructed apple salad, lobster bisque, wagyu beef burger, aglio olio w tiger prawns, & bread and butter pudding, coupled with the nice ambience, it was worth it.
Sunday and Monday was spent lazing around in Sentosa though we didn't tan nor go to any of the attractions. we reached there mid-afternoon but had to get ready to leave for Fort Canning cos we had a date w his colleagues to watch Ballet Under the Stars. they bought him a really yummy brownie cake with colourful sugary letterings and deco! SweeEeeT (pun)! judging from the turnout, where the crowd occupied about 80% of the field, it sure did reflect the growing Arts scene. the picture below is of 4 dancers and u can actually see their movement in slow motion. the grace and technique they executed was really good! enjoyed the performance!
as it grew later, however, it became Ballet Under the Umbrella. the drizzle didn't dampen our spirits as we sought shelter under some trees (don't worry, there wasn't any lightning). the boy lit up the extra bday candles and placed them in the cute wine cups and we had a romantic evening =]
that was not before we toasted with red wine and sparkling water!
the later part of the night was spent playing card games and in the morning we just lazed along the beach eating what was left of the brownie and enjoying the breeze. the place was lit up w cheers and screams from one of the many Uni orientation camps that is always organized at this time of the year. and then off we went to shop awhile! haha.. bought a much-needed cardigan for work.
alright, today at work was pretty mundane cos after the brief orientation of the overview of office matters from my bosses, i was left to read two 10cm high files filled with notes of the systems etc. sheesh.. think practical would help me much more! but nonetheless, i get a feel of the systems. got 4 more days to learn the stuff from my colleagues before i start to do real work! they seem quite nice, tho i didn't get the chance to talk much to them cos i'm usually shy when i dunno ppl well, and my direct boss brought me out for lunch, tho it was a pretty awkward one since we didnt talk much. but she's nice to do so! hopefully things will get better and i'll get to know them more as time passes! can't wait for Ruix to return..
for now, i've gotta slp early.. work really saps your energy, even if it's just reading notes..
