Haven't blog for a week..

Woke up at 1pm this afternoon..yawn! Was up late last night scanning photos of the genting trip and my convocation photos to post up to the smartgroups, and ended up sleeping at 4am. When I woke up, there's nobody around the house and it's pouring outside, so happy to have the whole house for myself. Great..

Just called up the club to find out about the one star course. Edwin had been trying to organise a trip to the zoo and I had meant to give him my support but I forgot all about it a few weeks ago and signed up for one star course this sun and the next. And also, next weekend I'm intend to clear away all my tuitions and all other things to keep myself free, so really need the Sunday off. Wanted to look for Erik to ask for the retrenchment like what Danping had suggested, but he's on leave today and I had to talk to Meng Teck instead. Initially was reluctant to tell him just in case he'll kill me for canceling my name last minute, but luckily there's insufficient participants for the course so he was glad to let me off too. Lucky yo.. And now I'm very happy, I'm going to the zoo! And next weekend can go and play also..hee hee.. I'm going to the zoo, zoo zoo.. How about you, you you..?

Last Sunday, we went for the charity swim event escorting the swimmers. Didn't expect it to be such a big thing, but there was media coverage and everything. Hock Sui told me that Giam and Wu appeared in the footage for the news, but I was too lazy to download Quicktime so didn't get to see it. Yesterday when I met up with Danping, told her all about it and she said that she didn't see the news but she saw my face in the 'Zaobao' newspaper, just inside the front cover page. She expected someone to tell me about it, or maybe I would have read about it since I have 'Zaobao' at home. But when I came home to look for the newspaper, all the rest of the Monday newspaper was intact except for the front cover. It was already torn out by someone in the house, probably to wrap some rubbish. Sheesh.. just can't imagine how lucky I can be sometimes.. as all the rest of the newspaper for this week are still intact. It's just that very page that's missing!

Yesterday, Yingzhi invited us to meet up as she had baked some cheesecake and want to share the fats with us. It's really unexpected as she's the last person among us to jio people to meet up, but I was glad as yesterday evening is the only day which I'm free for the week. It was really a nice thing to do, to consume fats and talk about crappy things. After she went off for training, Danping and I went shopping at Far East. We met Lai mun on our way there, and she was shopping with her colleagues, she looked happier than all the recent times I saw her at the club. Anyway, I was trying to look for a handphone accessory thingie at Far East and Danping was enthusiatically helping me to look around for it. We combed all the shops at the basement and thought that it was very likely to turn up somewhere. There were many close calls as we found similar designs but not what I wanted, so sad.. Nevertheless I was still very grateful for her helpfulness as I felt really tired and the shops were all closing when we left. Better luck next time. =P Sigh, Miss Giam sounded like she's really in a dump these few weeks, I really feel very sorry for her. But sad to say, find that I really can't help her except for listening to all her woes. While we were enjoying our cheesecake, she called Danping to tell her about her stupid meanie boss who made her cried yesterday. And the day before too. What a lousy job, but she's stuck in it as her boss had persuaded her to stay. Can't imagine. If I were her, I would have burn down the office long ago, and I can also imagine a thousand horrible things that I would have done to the boss.
