Sunday
Since I got half more hour to spare, I went to visit anth of my customer before heading down to a r0adsh0w.
What's seen on the left was the 4dee Q. The r0adshow was on the right.
My colleague described it as "If you want non-c@pit@l pr0tected, go to the left. If you want capital-pr0tection, go to the right". She was referring to structured dep0sits.
One of the few consolations of the day was a nice bowl of mee for lunch.
I'm tired. Think I go put on my facial mask.
Saturday
I had to struggle out of bed to get to work. Though there wasn't much crowd, I presented to 2 cust0mers whom I have already knew. Was able to do my paper work as well.
After getting my work done, I left the br@nch at 1, together with MY, and visited my cust0mer. The same person whom I visited last night. The couple treated me and MY to lunch. Tasted really good.
The finalization of paper work was quick and we rushed off to pick Gerrie up. We went to jayb and headed to H0l. Plaza. Gerrie had her massage done, whereas I went to get my hair done. Trimmed and highlighted. After her session, she came over to wash her hair.
Poor MY had to wait for us for almost 2 hours.
We headed to Jusc0, where we then bidded gdbye to MY. The both of us had cakes.
And we shared a 2pc meal at KFC. Lol.
Then, we went to a 'tanning studio'.
The bak kut teh stall nxt door was still open, but we were still full then.
I regretted.
I'm hungry now. =(
Gosh, I have to sleep now. Have to wake up at 8 to meet anth customer, before going for a roadshow at Pasir Ri5.

Food
Cat and I got free fishballs today. It tasted really good.
Right, so today's the Chinese's Valentine's Day. Gerrie and I made a date at Plaza Market Cafe. Situated in Raffles The Plaza, this restaurant serves international lunch and dinner buffets.
As usual, starters for me would be sashimi and soba noodles.
Then came popiah.
I went local, with noodles, crab, veggie, curry chicken...
Then came Italian, with lasagne with duck, pasta with prawns. Lamb stew and chicken.
Deserts were interesting. Movenpick ice-cream. Marshmellow/ strawberries fondue, cakes...
Go visit Plaza Market Cafe. Approx. $42 per pax.

Ever Stepped Into An Art Museum?
Situtated along Bukit Tim@h Road, we walked into a place filled with paintings and antiques. This is no ordinary art museum/ exhbition.
This is a residence of my colleague.
Every piece of antique is dated.
"(name of antique)
A.D. xx - A.D. xx
xxxx Dynasty"
We could only admire. No touching allowed.
I can go on and on about the riches beyond my imagination. But what was heartfelt was the home-cooked food we had today.
Everything tasted perfect.
In conclusion, not everything has a price to it.
*Unfortunately, oil does. It went up more than $100.

Ways To Enjoy Your Sunday
Your mission is to beat the clock, and make use of every single minute before you let that Monday Blues get to you.
You can have luncheon with friends.
Central @ VivoFollowed by visiting your customer's place. Or maybe not.
Then do some random shopping and try to get cheap finds.
Chill out with your best friend at Paulander's.
And finally have some satays at ECP.
Perfecto.
Ok, you got through Sunday. You wake up on Monday, feeling zombiefied. You think to yourself, "Damn, I have to spend 9-10 hours at work. How to survive?"
Well, waking up early on Monday to send your car for servicing doesn't sound that fun.
But you can always plan a good luncheon. A hearty meal makes you... happy. And sleepy.
And at the end of the day, do some shopping and a dinner at Coca ends it all.
Tuesday's here. *Groanz*
Am having a really packed week. With meetings, house visits...
Have to sleep now. Ciaoz.

The Week
It was quite painful to go through this week. CNY has left me with more tiredness, despite the 2 days off from work. In fact, it has taken a toll on me and the after-effects had been horrible.
Despite that, it was nice to spend an evening at Shar0n's place with the other girls for dinner.
Had another dinner with the rest of the branch on the following evening.
Me & some of the girlies.There hasn't been much hype over this year's Valentine's. But preparation was done, in fact, in mid Jan.
On that day, I was left alone in the branch and had to service 4 cu5t0mers c0ncurrently, but was glad it was manageable. I even had time to sneak out to get some of the girls a rose each.
When the evening came, I picked Gerrie up from BV and brought her to my workplace. We couldn't get a place at Swiss0tel, and I wanted to avoid the crowd in town. So Weiner Kaffeehaus was the best choice.
I had 2 glasses of reds.
Accompanied by tomato soup. Side dishes include blue cheese.
I didn't like blue cheese the moment some girls made us had some at WK's wedding. I didn't like blue cheese in my pizza, like the one served in Alley Bar.
But the blue cheese at Weiner Kaffeehaus was nice. Especially when it's down with reds.
Then came the grapefruit salad.
And our half cow. The steak was excellent, but we wished it had come in a bigger portion.
Last bit... deserts.
And since Gerrie couldn't take any red that evening, she had a cuppa Black Keys.
Conclusion: Austri@n food is thumbs up!
We celebrated HX's birthday the very nxt day.
On Sat itself, branch h0urs are as usual. Then ran to 2 appts, before going to Pe@rly's place. I'm beat. Spent the rest of the evening watching 'License To Wed'.
Great. Now I only have Sunday left to rest.

Lesson learnt: Use La Mer moisturizer to repair your skin.
Sunday, February 10, 2008
No apologies needed. She's good.
Pics Taken on Fri & Sat
CNY made me even more tired than working. All the travelling... and not forgetting the atrocious pricing on petrol.
I still prefer carols and snowflakes.
Merry Christmas people.

Learning To Smile Again
I thought that the lack of sleep, dehydration, harsh facial scrub and air-con had 'tightened' the skin.
Just last Sunday at the graduation photo shoot, the photographer had to remind me to smile.
Taken last year
Taken this afternoon @ Gerrie's placeAfter visiting my cousin, my parents had wanted to go to T3. I went to pick up Gerrie before meeting them at T3. The place was really nice. There's shopping to be done, lots of restaurants and even places to drink.
I personally like this photo.Anyway, back to the topic on smiles.
HQ sent a MMS today to me, which cracked me up.
"Hi, my name is felix. I love driving. Every time when i drive, i will keep smiling. Can't help it... Thinking abt it, it gets worst during CNY. I started to laugh alone everytime i think about angbao. ($$$) Tats me! Lalalalala... Dun believe? See my pic...."

Trust me. I wasn't even smiling in that pic.
P.S. Watch this freakish magic act. The girl in the vid is pretty.

b. T0uring ard and meeting ex-colleagues at C0mTech

Anyway, wishing all a Happy Lunar New Year!

W0rk
Things went well last month, though some hipcups appeared.
Started off Feb well also, with several big cases. However, I still need to fulfill a certain criteria. I'm already stressed out though it's only the 2nd day of the month. But Feb is such a short month!
Hopefully, I could cl0se some at tomorrow's r0adsh0w.
I need my rest time. Desperately trying not to look like a panda. At least I was able to do some shopping for these 2 days.
What I have for the lunar new year:
A fcuk tee, a polo tee, a M&S shirt and a pair of Gap pants.
Meals have been irregular as well, but at least I enjoyed my dinner for these 2 days.
Wanton mee + fried kuay teow + hokkein mee + satay + otay + chicken wings at Dunearn on Friday.
Black peppered crabs + horfun + veg + shrimp-paste chicken + rojak + coffee pork cutlet at Joo Chiat this evening.
Would be working from 830am - 530pm tml. Followed by a graduation photoshoot.
Supp0sed to meet all the boys for dinner tml. Perhaps after I have mine with the family. Been a long time.
Nights.
