rediscovering eden
But I wrote them for you
And anywhere I would be with you
No matter where, but for now we're here
So let's spin around again in this field of flowers we're in

7:57 PM
The guy temp sitting next to me in the office, his supervisor complained to the boss that he works too slowly...Cos he's the boss's cousin you see. Poor guy.
Apparently he photocopies like a snail. =/
So my mother came up to me and gave me this big warning: You Better Work Fast! Otherwise That Auntie Will Complain Too!
Ah ha ha.
Because in the office there are like two sections, one doing workshop stuff and the other handling application forms for lawyers. I help the application for side, and aunties are in charge of me.
One is the very nice, a bit blur type, on friday she worriedly asked me how come I didn't go collect my results.
The other is the auntie auntie kind.
And she's one stressed auntie.
She never stops scolding her children over the phone for ridiculous things like:
"Why you come home so late! What you been doing!"
And the clock only says 3.30pm.
"Why you never call me! I told you to call me right!"
"YOU GO AND DIE LAR!" Then when they call her:
"Why you call me for!! I very busy don't talk to you lar!"
Haiyo. Poor little kiddies.
I just have to record this because I feel so indignant on their behalf, having known what it's like to have a cranky parent.
Probably because of the cold air con, but my stomach never stops rumbling in the morning no matter how much I eat!!
Its freaking embarrassing, especially since the office is always so silent, and my stomach is so
loud.All these really weird liquid noises...
On friday met up with girlfriends =)
It is so great just to catch up wth you guys! Haha. Everybody's hair was different! (except maybe Wendi, lol)
We ate at Kenny Rogers which is seriously good food! 12.90 for such huge portions and wide variety of dishes.
Helped Wendi find clothes since she says she's clueless about shops. And yes she''s quite right, haha!
Went off with her to Far East again today to look for cheapo jeans.
Well Far East being monopolistic competition, every shop was selling it at 39.90. =/
And yes they were all non-differentiated products.
At least, one shop was differentiating itself by giving a 10% discount so we got her jeans there.
Anyway I totally admire these people like Wendi man, who can walk around wearing double layers. Like jeans for example and a long sleeved top, plus covered heels and hair draping all over the place. Or thick black skirt and black top with leg warmers and high cut boots (again with hair all over the place)
And then stride around Singapore. Granted that they are going to town and will spend 3/4 of their time in an air-conditioned mall, still it's so fatally hot outside. Can't imagine how they can take it! I'd be sweating like a pig.
Anyway this was a good week. =D
