23rd August 2005 Tuesday
Dinner with Longan Gang

Met up with CMI and Ah Zai for dinner at Bugis, where CMI was busy looking for a shirt to wear for the event the next day. I really felt like watching a movie, but when we walked down to the box office, the movies looked really boring and i wanted to catch "March of the Penguins" but it was not out yet! So we headed for Chicken rice dinner opposite Bugis (the portion of the chicken meat was so little as compared to the mountain of rice) and decided to head down to City Hall's Menotti. I commented that the place looked nice and posh so we decided to check it out.

On the way to Menotti, I was telling CMI that i asked for a quotation from ModLiving the other day, and the salesperson gave me a shocking amount. He kept asking me which sofa or rather what did i ask to quote for and i kept telling him that i didnt know, probably called the Hopi Sofa or something like that. And he kept asking me was it by this so-and-so designer and once again i kept telling him that i didnt know. Ah Zai was keeping quiet all these while, and suddenly he turned back and screamed at CMI, "She already told you that she doesnt know who is the designer! You think everyone knows who are the designers........... like you?!!!"

Both CMI and I were shocked by the outburst, and CMI kept walking with a crooked neck (head tilted to one side) and dont ask me why he was walking like that. I think it was a result of "I kena bitcccchhheedddd".

Waited a while for Gaz and Mr Sarcastic to arrive and Mr Sarcastic kept wanting to leave because he was dead tired, but we managed to convince him to stay for a drink. The acoustics of the cafe was not very good because it was quite noisy and not as posh as i thought. Once again, we had to job hazard and comment about every thing from the ceiling to where the lights could be bought and to what material was everything made of. There, Ah Zai told us about this weird dream that he had the night before.

This was how the dream went :

Gaz, Ah Zai, Miss What and I were having some lunch/dinner or whatever somewhere, and we were chatting normally. (This was a silent dream and seen from a third party point of view, as in, he could see himself in the dream) And suddenly, both Ah Zai and I got into a really huge, and heated argument, like, those sort of full-blown arguments and not the usual silly bitchy squabbles that we get into everytime. As in, we were really shouting at each other and for some strange reason, we started hitting each other with some books on the table (how convenient that the books were there)!!! He commented that he really felt the pain from the book hitting ok! So serious case!!

In the midst of our quarrel and book hitting, Gaz and Miss What suddenly disappeared and I started to chase Ah Zai (apparently i was really angry but dunno over what!) and he had hide and take cover under some shelter because it started to rain!

Ok, this is the part of the dream where it starts to get a little scandalous but dun worry, i was not part of the scandal. Wahahaha!


25th August 2005 Thursday
Party under the stars and dinner with CMI

Was up till 3am the night before, trying to finish up my drawings, so i only managed to get 3 hours of sleep in the end. Surprisingly, i managed to keep awake for the whole day and only yawned a few times. Maybe i only need 3 hours of sleep instead of the usual 6 or 8 hours... Haha....

Lao Ban has sent an invitation to all of us in the office to go to the launch of the newly re-vamped Cubes Magazine, and i really was not keen to go because of my lack of sleep. All i could think of in the office was to go back to my bed. Poor Miss Hungry came back to work despite having a flu and her face was really pale!! She obviously didnt go for the party so it was just me, Lao Ban and Mr Easy. We left the office at 8pm (because Lao Ban was trying to type some appointment letter) and she kept complaining how hungry she was. I don't understand why these people can eat so much and still maintain their beautiful figure........... Anyway, with my CMI directions, i made her do a wrong turn and it resulted in us going one BIIGGGG round Fort Canning and her in nagging me about how hungry she was.

By the time we got to the carpark behind the old National Library, my Lao Ban kept insisting on walking the wrong way while i was trying to convince her to walk the other direction towards the Substation...... Mr Easy got to the Substation before us (on his bike!) and while Lao ban and i was on the correct path to the Substation, Mr Easy called me. And while this was happening, i saw this nicely dressed up ang moh guy walking from across the street towards my boss. AND..... some driver was blaring his horn at us. I was super blur at the whole scenario and it turned out that the nicely dressed ang moh was my lao ban's bf!

Once we got to the entrance of the party, my lao ban was greeted by soooo many people that she knew there... Mr Easy and I just stood there like some blur cows so i decided to call Mr Susie Hoe. He brilliantly walked past me after hanging up on the phone with me and after i managed to drag him into my group, he was trying to praise me in front of my lao ban. Which felt very weird actually. Haha....

Mr Easy and Susie got on pretty well, and it turns out that Mr Easy seems to know quite a lot of people in this industry! However, when i ask him how he knows them, there will always be a standard reply, "Welllll, it's a long story." To which, i will try not to peng san on the floor. I stole Susie's Orange Juice so it also resulted in him getting 2 new glasses for both me and Mr Easy. Somehow or other, i dunno what happened, but Susie spilled some of his orange juice onto my new blouse and pants! After he tried to give me some tissues to clean up the mess, he disappeared somewhere. So i wailed to Mr Easy, "Very good lor! Now i am covered in orange juice! So unglam!"

"Oh, no wonder you look so sweet!"

That comment was horrendously stupid and ridiculous, and under any normal circumstances, i would have scolded him in the office, but i thought it was so funny and dumb at the same time that i burst out laughing really loudly! When i told Susie, he said that his pick up line is so original.

Three of us went for dinner at Kopitiam nearby and there, Susie had to run off once again to help his ex-bosses clear up the place while Mr Easy and I went home. To ZZZZzzzzzzzzzZZZ......
