Hope my colleagues enjoy their D & D night out :)
Today, I realised that I wrote addresses in the wrong format on 307 letters! My supervisor said that it was okay, since i already wrote them. So a shout out to those property agents receiving this letter, you know its a letter i wrote since the address format is wrong. Not to sound egotistic... but its a special letter from the one and only ME!
Sorry, i will write them correctly the next time.
I was released at 3pm today (huh...captive in the Office) because my company is having a Dinner & Dance event tonight at MBS. I had to go to granny's house to fetch Auntie Tree back to our home.
It was awkward, it was an awful awkward journey with people staring at me. (or was it just my imagination) Maybe they're thinking " Why is such a young boy wearing work clothes?"
My work wardrobe consists mainly 60% of common office men's wear such as black long cotton pants and "uniform-like" cotton shirts. The 40% are polo shirts.
Ok, so i got to granny's house and she was watching Chinese dramas. It's good to see her once in a while :) She will then pester me to eat my meals or take an ice cream from the fridge.
I ate my dinner at 4pm, left for home with Auntie tree at 5, but not before hugging my granny!
She treats me so well, oh, we're having her birthday celebration on the 2nd day of CNY so I'll make sure to get her some extra nice mandarin oranges for new year.
Reached home by bus and paid the full fare...no more concessions any more... so my card runs out of money pretty fast! I pay an average of $2.60 everyday instead of the usual $0.95 when i was a student.
I changed my clothes then left at 6pm to meet up with Eddy, Veron and FZ for prawning.
Met up with Eddy and Veron in the bus and we chat a lot, mainly teasing Eddy haha.
FZ met up with us later at the place, some where in AMK.
It was fun learning how to catch a prawn. I missed quite a few catches but eventually caught my first. We had to pull off their pincers after we catch them, the reason which i learnt of after one of them nipped my finger and wouldn't let go. Oww...
We played tai tee as we waited for the prawn of bite our baits. Seems that i have a bad hand at tai tee today, but i was glad everyone seemed to have fun.
It was fun to get a catch! Got initially let a few slip away because i didn't know the correct technique to hook them. We took turns, sharing the 2 rods and laughed at FZ and Veron when they seem so disgusted by the crustaceans. They seemed okay with fishing them out instead haha.
We had otah and chicken wings in between some sessions, a little expensive but it tasted good.
After 3 hours, (i didn't realise how time passed by so quickly o.o) we took our catch to the grill
and ate them with satay and coconut juice. mmm...yum
Also, it seems that everyone is doing part-time jobs and such, but it seems that i started earliest ( since i started work Mid December last year -.- ) BUSY AS A BEE! while my friends going NS in January are enjoying themselves, trying to fill their remaining days before NS with as much leisurely activities as possible!
We took a cab home since we felt that paying some extra money for more comfort was a reward our tired bodies deserved.
It was shocking to witness the scene of a motor accident along the way. As we drove past, i noticed the shattered glass of the motorist's helmet, along with shrapnel from the badly damaged motorbike which looks more like twisted scrap metal together with a figure laid on the ground with a white cloth drapped over it. It is so unfortunate that a person's life has to end this way. CNY is around the corner, the person may be hoping to spend some memorable times with family; but it seems highly unlikely now...
Chatted with the driver for a while after my 3 buddies have alighted then thanked the driver as i gave him the fare. ( he lives in Jurong and reaches home at 1-2am everyday o.o) This old man is still going strong!
so here i am typing my day out. I'm going to sleep now because my eyelids are half closed.
so... good night!
signing off.
