Need to be insouciant.
Didn't have any time to write yesterday cos' was stuck in lab. And I read Zan's blog where she mentioned 'cyberloafing'. But since my work's piling up faster than I can say 'Finanzausgleichgesetz', I don't think I'd have to worry about that now. Anyways, I'm using the internet off-work hours now so it should be fine.
The weekend went well.
Had dinner gathering at a church friend's apartment in Novena. Very big! Great view. Good food - mudpie and ice-cream for dessert! :D So was company. Met a couple of colleagues for a drink at boat quay afterwards and that was very relaxing... Chatting about expats and related issues.
Big Boss's engagement party was very fun!!! I was the last Asian left at the end of the night (about 3.30am). And that's cos' I was slightly wasted to go off earlier on my own. I had only a few glasses of stuff (namely, a bit of the Italian thingy I brought - my head was safe! They liked it!, a glass of white, half a glass of red and a very watered-down rum coke - little rum, lots of coke). See how bad I am? My body just doesn't agree with alcohol! Had to do a 'Merlion' in the toilet. (I told a colleague about this analogy which he thinks was very apt and now can't stop laughing and 'suan'-ing me about it.)
Big Boss's fiancee was pretty and nice. She thanked me for getting the 'champagne' and I got to speak to her and the Big Boss for a bit.
Sunday was spent sleeping and reading. Lazing at home. I didn't have a hangover if that's what you are wandering. :)
Yesterday and today have been quite productive days. Lots of stuff to sort out. Had thought yesterday started on a bad note cos' some equipment I ordered were not what I had expected them to be. But things got sorted out afterwards. And I wasted at least 130pounds on some stuff that turned out to be unnecessary (which my colleague and I only discovered yesterday). Boss brushed it off with, 'Well, we're not broke'. Guess that's what an MNC's about. ^_^
Time to leave the office! Going for a nice coffee somewhere. :D
