Last date & Les Miserables

There's nothing eventful during the weekdays except for the dinner meet-up with Wendies on Thursday at a Korean restaurant. We were all so extremely full after the meal. I always look forward to dinner meet-ups with my friends after work, but so far, there isn't any of such activities coming up next week, so weekend is probably the only thing I look forward to for next week.

I didn't do anything much on Saturday. I wanted to start on my report, but after looking at the criteria, I have decided to procrastinate. Since there was no one at home, I did one of my favourite things, singing. No matter how horribly I sing, no one is going to judge.

The other thing I did on Saturday was to put this song on non-stop repeat for the entire afternoon. I got to know this song after watching Girls Generation's Romantic Fantasy concert/ music event as Jessica sang this song for her solo performance. The original singer is from Philippine. I love the lyrics of this song. Something I can relate to.

I met up with Kaixin today. This would probably be the last time I see her before she flies off to Aus :(
Our original plan was to go cycling, but it was gloomy looking and it really rained after we changed our plan to go Dhoby Ghaut to watch movie instead. We went to watch Les Miserables at the Cathay. Both of us didn't really get the show though. Guess we are just not those persons who will enjoy watching musicals. The movie was almost 3 hours long! And my butt hurts for sitting too long.

 Before the movie started, we also went to the Lowrys Farm to shop. Yes, it's the Japanese brand shop which sells expensive clothes. But now, they are having a sale! Most of the items are selling at a discounted price PLUS a further 30% or 40% discount if you are buying 1 or 2 pieces or more respectively. 

I bought a bottom which cost $36. Still quite pricey as compared to other bottoms but I think it's worth it cos of the quality. This shall be added to my new year clothes collection. I WILL TRY not to wear it before CNY.

We went Strictly Pancakes for dinner at 8pm. During our conversation, Kaixin mentioned this which totally expressed my perspective of HR:

HR= Chim-er admin.

I love this analogy.

And that pretty much summed up how I made used of my Sunday.

Just like what Kaixin has said, we don't even meet up much even when she's in Singapore, but now that she's leaving the country, it just feels a bit different, a bit saddening.

Egg rolls & Ohvola

We had decided to make egg rolls on last Saturday as my grandmother is going back to Malaysia this week. It is a tedious process as we have to sit in front of charcoal to cook those egg rolls. The older I get, the lazier I am, so I didn't really enjoy the process as much as I did the last time. I'm more interested in the result, which is the egg rolls that are ready for consumption!

We were making the egg rolls at the corridor and just nice on that day, the cleaner was doing block washing. We managed to get him not wash the area we were using, if not we would have to put out the fire and start it again after the washing is done. 

On Sunday, I went to the Ohvola sale event with my sis and her bf at Ubi. I SPENT 3 HOURS QUEUING JUST TO GET IN. I bought 3 items only. This items available were disappointing. Many items were not available in size S and the variety was also limited. I wouldn't want to go for such a sale again. The frustration felt during queuing made me rather pay $30+ for an item than to queue there and purchase it at $10+. But after all, this is considered as a new experience though. One that wasn't enjoyable and dont want to try it again.
 

This is the free shopping bag gotten from the sale.

This are the items I have purchased. Don't look very fantastic here.

New Year Eve

There was a company half day off yesterday. I don't like half day. They should have given us full day off instead. hahaha

However, I didn't really work yesterday as there was a company celebration and I was involved in the preparation. 

 Those are all the presents collected from staff for the gift exchange.

The celebration was a simple one. Food and gift exchange. After that we were free to go.

At night, I camped in front of the tv to watch countdown concerts. Caught in a dilemma when artistes that I wanna watched appeared in 3 different channels. I ended up switching from channel to channel. Got nagged by my mum for doing that but I ignored because the TV belonged to me for that night!
