Week Ending 08/10/06
01/10 --> so had late night on saturday, and decided to sleep in... ignored the prompting in the Spirit to go to church and realised later that I was suppose to be ursher for church that day. =( headed for dance and we had first session of Par de Deux (go figure.... =)) it's really quite funny, i always end up doing partnering work with guys (really boys) that are 7-8 yrs younger...
02/10 --> quick lunch errand run to buy tix for Tick, Tick Boom, lunch and birthday cake @ cityhall. it was JJ's b'dae on Saturday (20th Sep) so bought a cake and got ppl to celebrate his belated b'dae and turns out that Shankar's (my immediate boss) b'dae was on the 26th and Lars (an associate director from Corporate Finance) today... so 3-in-1 celebration. cools. then surprise, surprise, it was dance at night =)
03/10 --> had lunch with Angela (colleague from office that just got back from Australia vacation.... I wanna go!!) and tried this Hong Kong cafe, quite yummy. a mini-party sponsored by Sharad (another associate director from CF) for the arrival of his new-born.... so sweets! got chance to interact with some of the newbies in CF... then it was dance again.... i really must refrain from eating when i get home from dance... keeps me up too late in the night, but how, hungry after dance??!! jia lat....
04/10 --> had lunch with Huan (friend from church) and went to the Hong Kong cafe again and introduced her to "the muffin place" @ lau par sat... hahaha... then realised got MSG attack!! so it's either bye bye HK cafe or risk being thrown out when ask them to not put MSG when I next go there =) then lancing lancing again lar....
05/10 --> ooh... it's Niluka's last day in office so arranged for lunch at Pagi Sore (real decent Indonesian restaurant). before that had a really good talk with her abt where she's at in life, etc... though she isn't the most pious Christian but her holding onto the faith is an inspiration. then before she make her official exit, there was this mad rush of "giving away" Nilu's office momentos.... =) Nilu, we are gonna miss ya!!
06/10--> this is quite a day i must say.... so 12pm comes n it was off to People's Park for foot massage with a bunch of colleagues.... NICE!! never realised that People's Park was the hub for such services... there were like at least 10-15 foot massages places on just that floor that I was at. worth every penny of the $20 that I paid... i can "gai siao" if you wanna go.... back to work after lunch but u can imagine how enthu we were that afternoon....
after work, was still full from lunch so we just hung out at IndoChine Bar before perf start... then the phone rang with a weird number.....
surprise surprise... it's Wahyu from Purdue... i was like, "how on earth did you get my number?" and he was like, "i'll tell ya when we meet".... so I obviously "had" to meet him, u know? =) turns out he's in town for a fren's wedding. but as weekend is super packed, could only squeeze in a saturday lunch in between workshop n dance.
oh, back to happening Friday.... so the musical was so-so... maybe 6/10... at least engaging enough to not think about how hungry i was mid-way through. fav part was the message that we should pursue our dreams and not sell out to the popular / easy way out. least fav part was the rather flat perf that day... maybe the haze got to them or something, with a cast of only 3, the performers really needed to be super on-form or it can be quite a drag. oh, n btw, it was interesting to watch it with 8 other men... I mean one would have thought females are more into such stuff.
was super hungry by the end of the musical and very frequent these days, I had super big craving for meat (not exactly most lady like, but.....).... thank goodness, so did Aldric. on our way to Brewekz, noticed how pale / sick the moon loooked with PSI:140-150.... i mean, i feel like we are in a big BBQ party... only thing is where's the meat? (okok... so this meat thing is getting to me as well) at least got the brief fireworks to offer some relief to what is a real gloomy mid-autumn festival.
Aldric, Terence, Jason, Yung Yih and Chee Siang were at brewekz... funny thing is, the last 2 guys have left KPMG already and this was the first time we were having proper conversation... what can I say, we all work hard in office... no time for interaction... hehe.... must say that for the first 10 minutes after the food arrived... i was just concentrated on feeding the tummy... they serve really decent quesadillas there... =)
it was just interesting to hear them talk about work / finance / business stuff, very unlike the spiritual / philosophical conversations that I usually have. though didn't have much to contribute but good exposure nonetheless... then it was time to go home and leave the boys to their "if girls around, cannot have" conversations... =) then had a ~intense conversation with terence on way back....
07/10 --> saturday really was a blur... workshop @ NUS from 8am till 1plus. then it was zipping to Marina Square to meet Wahyu with Ah-xian and another Purdue schoolmate (i really can't remember his name). we had a real interesting conversation on our views on romance / marriage and hope that in some ways witnessed to the 2 non-Christian guys. then it was off to dance.... from 3 -10pm. met Paul, Australian dancer who was born in Singapore and looks way younger than his age.... =) we will be performing together for the improv next week.
then, since it was sung-ho (korean dancer who has been in the US for the past 14 yrs) birthday yesterday, me and ah-si rushed to cityhall during dinner break to pick up cake, dinner and haha... a whole roasted chicken from Jason's for him (he has been having meat cravings too!!.. our muscles need the protein to repair the tissue....) he was super happy and glad that we made him feel special.... been so busy with rehearsals we haven't had the chance to bring him out as hosts.... maybe after the performances....
had our first full run with musician and poetry reader in the evening.... got home way too late...
08/10 --> half the mind to skip church again... but decided i must not ignore the prompting and hopped on a cab to church though already missed both services. was just blessed with the opportunity to catch up with the church family. glad to know that the turnout from last night's mid-autumn special event was good and there were many youths. then it was rushing off to QBC for rehearsal. celebrated 3 youths' birthday in between the rehearsal and was super touched when a bunch of them wanted to come for next week's perf.... felt super loved.
something awesome that evening....
my (2nd) brother wanted to speak with me and we just started sharing and for the first time, prayed together for our family and for each other... it was just amazing... praying that we will meet regularly to honor God in our family.
then had special delivery of Magdelene portugese egg tarts... yumms!! thanks dude!
to all those that are watching the perf next week.... thanks muchie for ur support!! I will Jia You!!!
