Shopping day~!Went shopping with the colleagues today and emerged as the winner! The one who spent the most, that is.
Why do I always spend the most even though I had nothing to buy in the first place?!
Argh! I'm such a spendthrift!
PS always ends up as the devil who asks you to buy buy buy and she ended up buying almost nothing. She clocked the record at S$5.90 for a hairband. Like that is a lot.
J came in second last with 2 pairs of shoes at S$56, I think.
F was very disciplined coz she declined buying anything after her Crumpler backpack at S$75. She rounded up the day by buying another S$30 worth of Royce chocolates. So S$105 in all, I guess.
Now me, the one who didn't expect to buy anything except my skincare face gel ended up buying:
1) Skincare acne gel @ S$20
2) Etthusais loose powder @ S$60.80
3) A pair of shoes @ S$29.90
4) Kiehl's lip gloss @ S@26
Total damage? S$136.70!!! Excluding other random stuffs like eating and nitty gritty. Now, if I wanted to make excuses, I would say # 1 & #2 are like totally essentials. No?
Haiz, shopping is evil!
On a sidenote, we went to the Luk Yu Teahouse @ Ion for morning dim sum today. Everything with prawn is superb coz firstly, I like prawn and secondly, their prawns are fresh & succulent. Too bad I was so busy eating I forgot to take pictures.
I took one of the egg tarts though.
They have a variety of egg tarts and we ended up ordering the original and green tea. In my opinion, the original was way much better and the crust is really crispy. A must try for the sweet toothed!
Now, if you'd excuse me, I shall go whine in denial again about going back to work tomorrow.

The four seasonsGot this from one of the notes published in my friend's facebook. Found it quite meaningful.... or perhaps this is God's way of telling me that this is just the Winter season of my life that I'm going through right now.
There was an old man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the Winter, the second in the Spring, the third in Summer, and the youngest son in the Fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen.
The 1st son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.
The 2nd son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The 3rd son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The old man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree or a person by only one season, and that the essence of who they are, the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it's Winter, you will miss the promise of your Spring, the beauty of your Summer, fulfillment of your Fall.
Moral of the lessons:
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.
Don't judge life by one difficult season.
Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or later.

Social Responsibility please...I wonder why some people doesn't have social responsibility. Especially at times like these where H1N1 or whatever flu strain is so rampant.
When you have a cough, admit it. Don't deny and continue drinking other people's drinks like nobody's business. Especially when that "other people" has specifically told you not to drink - not once, not twice, but THRICE! Yet you continued to lie blatantly in her face, conveniently forgetting that you have told her about your cough this morning.
Some people just don't find themselves in the wrong every time.

Drunk or Sleepy?!Somehow, I can't get drunk.
People always get drunk before I do. Weird.
But I'm really sleepy though. I think it's the early morning cheer thingy today.
Stupid, but I'm gonna do it again tomorrow. And the days after....
Shit.
