managed to siam from oke practice early today!! haha! suppossed to end at 9pm today, but i cooked up a major head turning blockbuster and i managed to leave the oke by 3pm. oh and silly me, i forgot to tapau something for me to eat and so darn hungry now... omg!! i'm so like dying now lah! sooo hungry now... oh my godness....

last friday i had these snowskin mooncakes from Tung Lok and they were TO DIE FOR!! the box is so gorgeous too!! anyway these snowskin darlings are filled with mung bean paste with delicious nuggets of mango in them too. absolutely heavenly!! pity there was only two pieces on the happy hour spread. i ate 1 whole piece while my manager had the rest. i think she shared her portion with debbie and mag. haha! yum yum yums!!

anyway happy hour was okay lah... we had fried vermicelli, satay, wings and a few other dim sum items like samosas and spring rolls. that was the main dishes, at the dessert section, we had baked mooncakes from four hotels and snowskin mooncakes from Tung Lok. there was some malay kuehs and fresh mangoes and grapes. as for beverages, there's chinese tea, wine, beer and soft drinks.

OFFICE HAPPY HOUR IS A GODSEND!! love it to bits! (for the free food and alcohol! who cares about the mingling and new advisers!! muahahahahaha!!)

then on saturday i came back to the office to do some callings, but after attempting like four, i decided to hold back the callings till later. i called them at 12 pm and they said they are still working and wee rather busy. but when i started to do callings again at three, all the numbers i called were either not in service or were not answered. so sad! decided to close shop at 5pm!! so poor thing lah...

nothing much today, only i need to go for my fitting and accessory collection later at NGS.

Toodles for now!!

oh my godness!!

facebook is sooo screwed up now!! its so laggy and slow!!

i watched this show on KBS yesterday evening. it was about animal cruelty in farms. it was such a eye opening show!! omg! i saw the cute little chicks being manhandled like some fluffy cupcakes and the condition of the egg laying hens being cramped up in small cages as big as an A4 paper, up to three birds in that small space. it was so poor thing!

i am so gonna switch to free range and organic chickens now!

and free korean channels are a godsend!! i love KBS and Arirang!!

ooo! speaking or arirang, i love the traditional song too! its such a sweet and beautiful song with 600 years of hictory in it! that is like super long lor! haha! its a romantic song about a man leaving his girlfriend of long. the girl still pines for him, and sang things like "if you walk away for more than ten paces from me, you'll limp, reminding you of me." really sappy things like that.



here's the video. its is also said the song actually symbolises not the love of two people, but the separation of north korea from the south. or should i say, the south from the north. enjoy the song! its really nice!

OMG!!! georgeousness!!

new shop alertsss!!!

its called Beluga, after a rare white whale with a protruding forehead. featuring high street wares and set in a minimalist and such an inconvenient location (level 2 of The Cathay). looks really promising. here some of the snapshots of things i NEED from the shop. (hopefully its affordable too!!)

GUESS GUESS GUESS!!!

GUESS... what is she??

She's actually a HE!!! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

practice yesterday ended at 11pm and i am so tired now... my head is feeling really dizzy and heavy. omg... i need food pronto!!

was at practice just now at the jap association and my God! the concert hall was damn sweltering!! the air conditioning broke down and the hall has extremely poor ventilation. i nearly died in there. i was preparing myself to go over to the hall this morning when yuki called me,

"where the hell are you?"

"at home. doesn't the practice starts at 11am?" it was 9.30 when i got the call.

"the practice starts at 8.30 on saturdays and sundays! get down here as soon as possible!"

i was like, "SAY WHAT??? girlfriend, don tell me what to do y'all! "

"whatever! just get down here quick! oh and dress as lightly as possible. the aircon's down"

so i wore a shirt and shorts. haha! looked really funny actually! like i woke up and straight went for practice! hahaha!

anyway, here i am now at office. with kenneth. he's typing out his paper on some motor insurance rubbish for his assignment. haha! its really cool how you can link almost ANYTHING to insurance!! hahahaha!

anyway, should i call corinne out for dinner later?? hrm.... wondering wondering...

really tired from all this 'dirty laundry' piling up at my feet.

1)
grace wanted me to pick up my momentum again and increase my production as much as possible. i've not been closing any cases for like two months now... and i feel really miserable as my pay is stagnating and its not increasing at all. so she set me a task to do; to get three case studies every week and to discuss it with her every friday. i've been doing canvassing like crazy these days and i still see no shit! what the hell is wrong with meee???

2)
then i have this roadshow thing on wednesday and friday. and i have to stand from 10am till 9pm, which is like TOTALLY hardcore. and you know what, i was wearing my pretty pedro shoes on wednesday for the roadshow and when i reached home, my heels were red and blistery! it was so darn painful! i soaked them in some dettol-ed warm water and went straight to bed. it was sooo much better in the morning. so i decided to wear my pedro shoes again. bad choice. my feet start to work up by two pm. they start to get all achey and sore. that's it. for tomorrow's roadshow i'm soo gonna wear my bata shoes. they are like way more comfortable (and uglier) than my lovely pedros.

Its hard being a financial whore.

3)
Oh My God. grace is on duty tomorrow!! i'm so gonna do some hardcore street prospecting lah! i'm so screwed tomorrow!!

but the good thing is, she wants me to pull in the prospects and get them to sit down. she will then do all the talking for me. she's like the bestest manager ever!!

4)
Lastly, i was roped in to perform in a chamber recital lah!! its so screwed up! there's me, another trombonist, two french horns and a trumpet for our stint. this isn't as bad as the orchestral one!! i'm solo oboe in the orchestra!! that is like super duper screwed up!! to make matters worse, chamber practices are on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays while orchestral practices are on the rest of the week. practice is from 5pm till 10pm and my god! it was so tiring! thankfully i was invited to play, so i could literally throw my weight around a bit! hehe! i told them i work irregular hours (which is SOO true! i start work at 1pm and end at 7pm you know!!) and i am extremely tired after a day of work (facebooking). so they compromised. since i am already quite adapt with the trombone, they let me off. BUT i have to come for orchestral practice on saturdays and sundays. and the practice hours on weekends are even more anal! it starts at 10am and end at 9pm!! how screwed up can you get??

but!! there's a glimmer of hope!! the recital is postponed indefinitely as they have some issues with the concert venue. its suppossed to be at the victoria concert hall. i think we're shifting to the esplanade... OMG!!! the esplanade has far superior acoustics!!! i'm so gonna get embarassed in front of the atas lot!! omg omg omg!!!

i sooo need my pay now....

hrmmm... kenneth's been sleeping really early these few days. wonder if he's really exhausted from all that school work... so poor thing. i should cook him dinner one day ;)
