i know i've not posted anything since i left for Singapore. Tried to from my hotel room but unfortunately the connection was real slow and i just had enough time to check my emails and then hit the sack. So...Singapore was fun, had a real good time but it was not all play, we had to work and it was pretty challenging stuff. the first day was fun, we had team building activities and we laughed till we almost cried. we were so beat by the end of the day that we just went for a drink and hit the sack. the next day we had to prepare for many, many presentations. in fact the whole last 2 days were basically presentations and feedback.
Didn't do much shopping but im no shopaholic anyways and with the exchange rate...no thanks! i did get some stuff from the airport though, bought this special limited edition Absolut Vodka which was in a black bottle with the alcohol content at 50% (whoa Nelly!!). havent opened it yet. will save it for some special occasion.
I did meet up with G on Friday and him being Mr. Punctuality promised to arrive at 8pm which turned out to be 1130 pm. Thank God i followed my colleagues for dinner and drinks instead. We din go to far away from the hotel so it was convenient enough for me to run back in case he was on time (Yeah rite! like thats ever gonna happen =P) so anyways we go back to his sis' (Gr)place. remember i was hoping to surprise her but thanks to G who has a mouth as wide as the freakin Gaza strip spoiled the surprise. so the whole family was waiting for me to arrive and the worst part was her place was so close to the hotel whr i was staying.
so i chilled with them for a while and then his bro R (who loves to get on my case and has not changed over the past 10 yrs) wanted to go for a drink. So the 3 of us went to the nearby restaurant and had supper. Btw the food sux big time in this country. not that thrs anythg exotic but the replica of foods back home which i find here...horrible!! bland, no taste, no flavor blech!!!
we slept at 4am that day. Woke up the next day and took Gr's daughter for a kiddie play. she's quite entertaining this young one. talks a lot and is intelligent. Gr's baby boy is absolutely gorgeous. He is an angel. so sweet and adorable...sigh* ok this is freaking me out sounds like my maternal clock is ticking blech!!!
We lepaked (hung out) at Gr's kiddie gym the whole day and went to church. ok so it was more like i was forced to go to church. but i went to appease my godmother (G's mom). later at nite G, r and i went to Clark Quay for drinks, met up with my colleagues thr and just hung out. the next day had to go to church again and then G cooked for me - chicken sambal yummy! that was one of the most satisfying meals i had over thr. and in case ur wondering, yes i skipped vegetarian the few days that i was thr. now im back on the veggie boat! came home the next day was so beat. but had to fetch my mum and sis from my aunts place and drive home all the way. God i was so tired i couldnt kepe my eyes open but duty calls (and my family thinks im selfish!) the best part of this whole trip was an email i received on thursday nite. Remember my friend who was pissed off with me? well i was ready to end the whole thing and sent him an email the friday before leavin to Singapore to say so. but he sent me an email, in short he came back.... knew he couldnt stay long wihtout me hehehe....
So work is up to my ears and i thk i dont have a life anymore but other than that life's good!!! =)
