Ways to grow fatter

Is to sleep right after breakfast. I did that and my weight increased this past week. Sigh.

I woke up at 11 am plus after sleeping at 0430. Had brunch and slept when I was reading the papers on the floor. It was one plus, and I woke up at two plus and walked to my bed and continued sleeping till four pm plus. And I was late for alumni band. T_T So sorry.

And Felix pang seh-ed us for dinner! >=(

Last day of work

Ah...time flies. It's my last day le. Heh heh heh. So since the show will end at 4 pm, I decided to have any breaks and forgo the touring lo..quite sad and regretted a bit because Hall 1 and 2 got more foreign food I think. Korean and Egyptian. The latter I never taste before ma.

There were a lot of leftovers, hence neighbours kept pushing food here and there...they give us food we gave them also..haha...I was damm full for the whole day. I tried two gelato ice-cream today, one was the white chocolate with coconut and almond, the other is mint. Both from two different Italian booths. And since it was the last day, I was awarded with a mountain of their ice-cream. It's really a mountain on top of the cup lo. And very nice T_T So touched by the taste and texture. Haha. Though what I had were leftovers la.

Argh awful eyebags

You can look fatter from another angle, especially when you're fat

This is what I wore for the last day

Cakes from Bakerzin! No one ate this because we were too full, so we gave them to the security guards and cleaners

Very pretty

Tuna sandwich from Bakerzin for me!

More of the Pernicotti chocolates. I brought these four home. Heh

Salmon and prawn

Knives. There were actually rows of them, but they sold them on the last day

That's the whole team of us. The girls in front are the assistants, we're all locals. On the left and right in polo shirts are the Filippino engineers. The three men behind are all Hollanders, they are the managers

The managers treated us to dinner. Told us to meet at 9 pm at Indochine at Clarke Quay. It was quite late and my dad wasn't too happy about it. It was nearly five when I was dismissed and I had nothing to do, so decided to go to MJ for band pract. When I alighted at Pasir Ris and I SMSed Ju Ling to ask if she's there, she replied saying there's no band practice! And no one bothered to at least tell me! So I wondered around Whitesands for a while and decided to go home. On my way to Pasir Ris Bus Interchange this guy from Prudential approached me and after that we sat down and discussed for nearly two hours. It was about Prudential's life savings plan, it works something like a bank account. I put $71.39 every month for 25 years at 3% interest p.a., compared to the 0.25% in banks. So I signed up for the plan and things aren't confirmed yet, I gotta consult my parents too. They weren't too happy about this, especially my dad. But my mum told me to go ahead. The thing that I like about this plan is that I am able to withdraw money any time I want, but it is quite troublesome because I have to call my advisor and he will send me the cheque. So it works like this la. No ATM card or anything. I guess I'm going ahead with the plan, and hope in the next 25 years I can fork out $71.39 a month. If I cannot right, I can actually pause for a year or so and they will extract the monthly amount from what I have in the plan. So it's more or less ok.

I was bloody late for the dinner la. So went home and showered and touched-up, changed a top and went out again. Took a cab to Sengkang and took the train from there.

The dinner was very nice! First time I tried this sort of food. Tried venison, and it was ok. Overall the food there was good. I'm not the clubbing and a bit wild type, so I was quite stiff with them. Actually I can see I'm not their favourite, cos I guess I'm the worse looking and the most guai lo. Haha.

This colleague on the left is very pretty! Like you see her in person is very pretty and a lot of guys can come to the booth to talk to her one lo. Guess her age. She's 32 this year and she already has got 2 kids, 11 and 6. Her figure is still good and slim and her face smooth. She works part-time in the beauty industry la, so maybe that's why.

The other girl is 24 and just finished university.

And the men from Koma actually asked if all three of us girls are of the same age. T_T I look so old...

That's Gracie, me and Kerry. Do we look like the same age to you?

This is Leandro, a very bubbly guy

Carlo, Patrick, me, Kerry and Leandro

After leaving Indochine we went 1 Nite Stand. The latter suits me better, with a live band and free for ladies. Heh heh. Indochine has got too much bass and blaring music and the whole mood was a bit sleazy and I didn't like it. Things were brighter at 1NS. If I were to go Clarke Quay I guess I'll still go there rather than Indochine. I'm not a born clubber lo serious. Shake also cannot make it. Whahaha. Wasn't comfortable with the group also.

We went back at 1 am plus, after which I went to Sam's place to meet him finally after a few weeks. And by the time I reached home it was like, 0330hrs le. Dad was furious. =P

Work was rather an eye-opener for me...love the new things I learnt about another industry altogether. And the show is amazing.

FHA will come back from 22 to 25 April 2008. Hope I'll get a job there again! Heh. And hope that I have the time la of course. I wanna see more things!

Bad start to the day

I woke up super early for the admin assistant interview and the past week had been quite tiring for me. I don't have enough clothes for the Expo job and I went shopping for a few nights after work already, and last night I still had to go for the interview and reached home only at 8 pm plus. I reached the office at Kaki Bukit at 0855 and filled up the form as instructed while the receptionist get the interviewer. When I was done I waited super long for the interviewer. The interview was slated to start at 9 am, and it was nearing 0930 and I don't see any sign of that guy. I have to be at the Expo by 10 am for work. So I asked the receptionist if the guy is coming already and told her the reason.

The guy came and the interview lasted for only a while. I just got this feeling I went for this interview for nothing lo. Guess I won't get the job anyway.

My dad came to pick me up after the interview and scolded me along the way for planning my schedule so closely together and he was pissed. And I was even more pissed, sat like an idiot waiting for the guy and then my dad had to nag at me. Cried a bit on his cab. I had make up and all lo..lucky didn't put eyeliner or mascara.

Reached the Expo at 0955, and the other two girls weren't here yet. I had nothing to do at my lounge since the key to my kitchen is with one of the girls, and one of my managers saw that the floor had a lot of sticky stuff and told me to wipe it. I had to squat there and wipe the floor with kitchen roll and Kiwi glass cleaner. Was quite pissed cos I was paid $6 an hour, when the other two girls earn $7 and I do the shit for them. They have dishes and cups to wash la, but it's their pay ma. The two girls came quite late and setting up took a bit of time.
Pissed to the start of the day la. But otherwise the rest of the day was quite ok. I had my hour long break again, and I walked Hall 3 and 4. Hall 3 had more food, Hall 4 was mainly equipment companies so nothing to do with me. (Only food has got to do with me and I can feel myself tipping the scales already) Quite sad la, an hour is not enough for me to finish walking.
