Effect after Japan's Earthquake

It's been a very crazy week after the Japan earthquake last Friday (11/03/11). Markets were moving crazy, everyone was working like there's no tomorrow. I did my best to help in every way I could - booking and amending deals, helping out wherever I can including running downstairs to buy breakfast, lunch and coffee for everyone.

Had to take over my manager's work as well coz he doesn't wanna do it anymore. Was informed that I am to backup another colleague when she's not around. Means I'll have to do 3 people's job if she's not around. How fair is that? I don't mind being busy or having a lot of work. I jus don't find it fair to me coz she will not be my backup when I'm not around. Life is never fair anyway.

But what really made me happy is that the hardwork I've put in is appreciated. My Singapore boss paid for breakfast coz all of us came in early to work for the last couple of days. He even paid for lunch (Crystal Jade) for everyone who reports to him today - that's about 20+ of us. Very nice gesture of him to show his appreciation in that manner. :)

Then at 5pm whereby most of the guys had left coz everyone was sooo drained, my G10 team head came to me and said "Thanks for everything this week! You've been a star, a legend and I really really really appreciate it! You're a life saviour throughout the whole week!" Those words were more than enough to make the ultra tired me (so tired that I wanted to wear specs to work and could hardly bother to cover my dark eye circles at all today) feel energized again.

Thank you for recognizing my efforts and letting me know about it!! Thanks for appreciating me!!! :p My only wish now is to be working with u guys for as long I can coz u guys really make me feel happy!!

Some random stuff about the week that passed - Sunday was bak kut teh day with Stef, Sid, Jianwei and Eeyore. Finally managed to try the Rangoon Road bak kut teh. Yummy! Went cycling (for me) / roller blading (for them) / photo taking (Jianwei & Sarah) at East Coast Park. I ached a lot after that. Haha. Dinner was at Sunset Way Grill Out followed by ice cream at Island Creamery (Adam Road area). Ate a lot!!!! Super yummy!!!

Cooked dinner on Wed nite - cucumber with meatball soup, tofu with minced pork and prawns, and prawn omelette. I must say that the taste of the tofu dish amazed myself! I didn't expect it to taste sooo good! Ok, a bit thick skinned there but seriously, I liked it a lot! 1st dish that has ever totally exceeded my expectations! Soooo pleased with myself! Pics of food are on Facebook so I'm lazy to upload to Blogger since I have yet to save it on my lappie. :D

Broker dinner last nite at Morton's Steakhouse. Freaking awesome seafood platter!!!! Just thinking about it now is making me salivate. Damn! Steak was chunky but sooo juicy and tender! Mouthwatering!! Had champagne and 2 different red wines. Prior to dinner was more drinking at Harry's where we had beer. Eat & drink, eat & drink!

Realised that this whole post is a lot on food. Haha! And I'm hungry now! How mad am I?!! Not to worry about putting on weight.. Coz I have yet to mention.. That.. I have Xbox Kinnect at home now and I perspire soooo much from playing the game coz of the jumping and squatting, moving and running! It's a damn good workout! Wooohooo!!

Finally a happier post!!! Pls let my happiness last longer..

Rumour

Went to a club at Clarke Quay last nite called Rumour with the regulars from Instinct. The club is kinda like Dragonfly but the music is not as good, the live band and singers were also not that good. The lead singer who is supposedly the most handsome has got a whiney voice when he sings. Shudders.. Think I still prefer DF anytime, any day. Reached home at 6 and slept at 6.30am.. Tiring.. I have been pubbing and clubbing 6 nites in a row.. Think I need to cut down and relax a bit. But, drinking is a form of relaxation coz I get to talk to friends and enjoy. :p Had a chat with Mingjie (another regular at Instinct) last nite. He truly impressed me by wooing the same girl for 7 years! He knew her 10 years ago, got together for 3 years, broke up and tried wooing her back for 7 years. It's truly fascinating. I'm amazed and at the same time, envious. No guy have ever wooed me for so long.. All just want me to be their gf within days or weeks. Any longer, they give up or pressure me ...

disappointed n jer's departure...

been a little disappointed with friends.. the term 'friends'.. what does it actually mean? someone u can talk to, someone who will be there for u? how many people can do that for a long time? i'm not very sure but i used to try n keep it contact with close friends in the past. i did all i could to stay in touch n find out what's going on in their lives so that our friendship can stay strong. however, that wasn't the case. 1 fine day, i finally decided to stop taking the initiative to remain in contact with them n the result was, they didn't bother either. what happened to the friendship between us? i'm not sure. but it takes 2 hands to clap n i don't understand y i always have to be the one who makes it happen. i've lost many friends coz of that. upset.. of coz i was. i've always treasured friendships but i don't see the point of hanging on if the friendship is so 1-sided. disappointed.. i've always believed that to be friends, we have to...
