i waited in full anticipation & excitement of this day. for the previous years it was mainly a night to spend with friends and a day of bumming at home. this is the first time ever that xmas holds a different yet significant meaning. from xmas shopping to the very day itself was such a wonderful memory.
the very first thing that was on the list was to get xmas prezzies for friends and gerard's family. casued a wee bit of frustration tho cuz buying prezzies for others can really be mind boggling. u just cant decide if that's the perfect gift and u won't know if the other party likes it or not. still, at the end of the shopping spree which lasted over a few days was worthwhile when u know they loved the prezzies. who said buying prezzies are easy? phew.. thank god its over.
next came xmas eve. where everywhere else was in full capacity, we had a quiet, cosy place to catch up w some ppl from the office. i mean hsbc office. apart from the comfiness of the place was the beautiful scenery. the altivo at mt faber. very nice. the ride up took quite a while due to the pretty heavy traffic but i have no complaints.
xmas day. spent the whole day at gerard's place. had good food esp curry devil, chicken wings and turkey which is so yummy! how i wished it was xmas everyday. tiring but totally enjoyed myself. never seen his mum singing karaoke and dancing in the house. whoa! they really could bring down the house.
last but not least, a year ago...... where it all kinda started. haha. very scandalous. had a reanactment of that day when we dropped by at komala vilas at little india for lunch. tee hee.

work is getting to me. oh well like it never did. with all those folow ups and demanding customer's requests. sigh. on the brighter side, i don't have to bring my work home at all. regardless, mentally nor physically. how i wish i could go back to school and stone during lectures, skip classes copy assignments and miraculously scrape thru my exams. yup, that's the reason i am here now. working. how i miss jc life. where all of u will sit at the void deck during our free periods and playing bridge instead of catching up on our studies. how we would mug like mad when exams are near. how we would enjoy the post-exam period with lots of glut-ting! it was fun while it lasted. glad that i've found friends who mean alot to me...
speaking of friends, so looking forward to meeting suz, janet and euwyn for dinner! they are friends to treasure tho there isn't much contact now. still remember the time when all of us reported for work on 2 aug 05. we all thot suz was single. haha. training days were fun.
there's something tt's bugging me at the back of my head. i need to let it go...
my first sunday at abn. have so many things to do. so many things to monitor. sigh. relatively high call volume for a sunday. sigh. sometimes i wonder if moving to abn is any better. hmm. well i guess i juz need some time to adapt and familiarise with everything here. i do miss hsbc. for more than a year there, it was already a comfort zone. dang! so so many things on my mind. i still hate credit cards.
it feels weird using the net from the iBook. so used to my desktop. i am left with no choice. my desktop just refused to connect to the internet. dang! being such a computer idiot, i have no idea how to fix it.
meet a portion of the gluts for lunch at harbour front. poor crab.. didn't know she had to lunch by herself most of the time. what sucky arrangements. they are all still the same as i used to know them since JC days. mandy is as funny and still practices her queer habits. qifang is still as skinny except for her new haircut. she looks diff. well, they commented that i'm still as blur as ever. yup i am blur no.1. looking forward for a proper dinner with the other gluts and meeting joy especially. miss my poops.
shopping at this time of the year is pure madness. imagine we were out early, as early as 10.30am, in town to shop for x'mas prezzies. the crowd was mad at noon! mango sale was utterly crazy! but i don't care! i'm just like one of those many crazy shoppers there. the day before, i brought mandy to mango sale and she was traumatised! madness! glad i got all the prezzies that i needed and hope my friends will like what i got for them.
oh well... shopping is addictive. can i shop more???
what a fulfilling day.. so satisfied with my shopping trip after work today. well what's new. got myself another pair of pumps! its damn pretty! pink-purplish base with black lace. just can't resist it. fell right for it... this ain't good. i'm like buying one pair every month. like my mum said , i could be the next emelda marcos. umm.. in a long time to come haha
gerard has this tee - red with yellow stipes which is ultra superly common. there were few occasions when we were out and saw other guys wearing the exact same top. well prolly luck is on his side today. we bumped into a guy with a group of his friends who was wearing that tee at suntec! gosh it was so embarassing cuz they were right smack in front of us and no where to hide! gosh and we all started laughing!!! it doesn't end there. we met again, now at marina square. dang!
gerard dar: prolly u should keep that tee and stop wearing it out. i feel so embaressed for u..

last night at rouge was fun. haha managed to gain entry thanks to irwan's temp pass. it was nice meeting the HSBC people again. tho most of them left pretty early, i had a good time watching john molina's band. he is old yet so georgeous!! poor rabani got left behind when tasha left. so we were dancing the whole night away. ouch! my soles were aching from last night's dancing.
its nice to know that every point of your life, you meet and make new friends. i am glad to say that meeting rabani was definitely one of the more significant people, or rather, friend that's worthwhile having. tho we may not be working colleagues in the same dept, we still manage to get along pretty well. needless to say, there are people in the call centre who are friends rather than just colleagues. i'm thankful for that...
had a great start and all went smoothly as worse was expected the previous night. training at my new workplace was fun. people there are really nice! so much better. looking forward to meet the manager cuz she's on leave now. anyway there was a slight bummer after the townhall event for abn. well, as usual, i managed to squirm my way out in the middle of the event. which took forever.. met gerard and got the most wonderful surprise! he only said it was a gift fm my ex boss but its a plaque! so pretty! hehe
next destination... eski bar! so damn cool. i mean cold. freaking cold. as cold as -15 degrees celcius. brrrrr... it was ultimately unique experience. no regrets at all. anyone interested to go with me???
