The Weekend

I don't wish to blog about work unless something very interesting or is really worthy to blog about. Work is just the like that everyday, like one of my friends says, work is 'same shit, different days', which I have to agree.

On Friday, did some window shopping around at Tampines Mall, and watched Disaster Movie with bro. Talking about bro, I realised we get to know each other better after i consoled him during his breakup with his ex girlfriend. It was really a bad period of him, and I think since then, we 2 bachelors became quite close and look out for possible 'opportunities'. Haha.


Yesterday, I met up with 5 man gang for a crab cum zi char dinner at some coffee shop at Ang Mo Kio. I think this is one of the most expensive dinner that I have paid for myself. You see, I seldom eat good stuff, but yesterday, I think I really spent quite a bit for crabs, some pork ribs, bun, vegetables and chicken. The chilli crab is not bad but the sauce is rather spicy. The butter one is not bad. My friends prefer the bee hoon and soupy ones, but I feel its like fish bee hoon and instead of fish, they added crabs with the soup base being the same as the fish soup with milk in it.

After that, we went walked around at AMK hub and decide to reside at a small cafe which offers very few boardgames. And so we played Taboo, Urban legend, and this balancing game which is like uno stacko or jenga but instead of blocks, we placed funnel like objects on a balancing platform. At around 11pm, we took bus back and headed to our home sweet home.

Went to gym-swim-jacuzzi-suntan today at bro's father's condo. Need to maintain shape and health especially during work. Then went to have botak jones and then we go to TM again to get some stuff.

One of my friends commented that once I am tired, I just let everything loose and not make an effort to do things or just even talk. I will just shut off all my senses and my temper seems to escalate at moments like this. I can't help but to agree. And because of this, I think I affect the moods of my friends, which in turn affect me as well. I really to reserve my energy and not exert it in the beginning and let all loose at the end of the day, so loose that I don't even care what's happening around me. I need to learn, and I hope I will improve.

Just forgive me when I turned quiet or looked bad mood-ed. I am just tired and shut off, really.

The Art of Gorging

I think I won't have any meals at Thai Express for some time. I don't know what overcame me yesterday that I began to order food that was much more that I could handle and began to put food in my mouth mindlessly even though I was already very full, like a contestant in food eating competition.

I think I shocked my dining partner.

Gorging is like drinking too much alcohol. You get a really high feeling that you think you can really eat more where if fact you can't. The aftermath? You feel bad and feel like throwing up, and feel so stupid doing the things you shouldn't have done.

I don't really want to talk about the reason why I did that. In fact, I can't pin point any.

I am having a hangover right now. =(

Getting Used

One of my friends have told me that when I have started working, I would not want to turn on the laptop when I reached home after work, because I have already faced the com the whole day in office and that is somehow rather energy draining, that explains the lack of updates of blog.

Anyway just a quick updates of what happen recently. I can't even remember what I have written in my previous blog. Anyway, finally I met up with the horn people last Sunday, where we settled our dinner at Pizza Hut and had some drinks and small snacks at Ya Kun. Conversations revolved around buying of houses, investments and marriages. Yes, very adult issues. The signs of growing up.

Last Wednesday was a bowling competition organised by company at Safra Mount Faber. Though I was no bowling expert, I took part in the end. We had fun, no doubt, knowing more people slightly better from my company. My scores were rather pathetic, but I think I had fun anyway.

I made a check at previous blog and saw that I did not blog about the 21km Army Half Marathon. Yup. Something got over me and I took part in the full 21km run. It was a way to remind me to keep fit, and also to challenge myself. The timing is no doubt very bad, but hey, at least I completed the run, somehow. Haha!

Work's ok as I getting more used to my working environment. There are still room for improvement for my familiarity with the people around and being myself. I also attend technical writing workshop organised by my department, and I have learnt about writing and about the English language itself. Hopefully, I can learn more from work and of course everything will go on smoothly.

Wish me luck.
