Started going out for lunch with my colleagues since last Friday. Really thank God for the friends that I've made in the office...like my fellow temp-er, my editor, her friend (girl), her other friend (guy)... It's hard to believe that I spent the whole of my first month in the office hardly knowing anybody, then suddenly, things just started picking up and now I'm going out for lunch with them almost everyday. Haha this really makes working so much more fun. Spent quite some time on Monday listening to one of them talk about how she's preparing for her wedding and it was scary. All those things that you have to do when you want to get married. Heh. But then again, of course it won't be special anymore if you just sign the marriage cert and that's it. Just don't go over the top either. Haha... She has FIVE dresses!!! And she's not even the kind who likes to dress up. Listening to her describe the whole preparation was entertaining! Then later my editor came to pass me a copy of the book that was featured in Sunday Lifestyle last week - the one about society's obsession with slimness...I saw that it was published by them so I just asked her about it. So sweet of her to get me that book from its editor. And then the two of them started telling me about how they were dating three and seven guys, respectively, during their younger days. Hahaha...and I was like, what??? The one with seven guys was seriously way over the limit, don't you think... :p hahaha~

Anyway, tomorrow is the book forum (or something like that) at Tiong Bahru Plaza. Well actually I've been hearing my colleague talk about it for quite some time already. I mean, he's always on the phone planning for it and stuff. Poor guy...you can literally hear how stressed he is through his telephone conversations. And today, he gave me a long description of his sufferings. Heh... The way he told his story was really funny too. Anyway, one of the things he said was that Moses Lim called him to reserve a parking lot for him tomorow. And usually, he wouldn't bother to do such a troublesome thing, but because Moses Lim was so nice, he quickly went to call up Tiong Bahru Plaza. LOL.

Today I didn't have any work to do at first coz the lady who's like in-charge of me was on MC and I'd already finished all that she'd given me. So I went to help my friend do the directory thing. Like, search for Australian manufacturers of therapeutic goods on the internet, key into Excel their address, contact numbers, email, website address, description of core business, etc. Quite an eye-killer job as well. But a nice change from proof-reading. At least now I've been given a computer and a phone (but still no dustbin :p haha), but they're just all at another cubicle.

Haha do you know that there's People magazine in my office...ok actually there're lots of magazines in my office but I was quite surprised to see People there. And the Chinese pub has i-weekly. Next time can borrow from them. :)

Oh this morning I went out of the house with a horribly mismatched outfit!!! :( I almost didn't want to go out for lunch but then my colleagues all thought it was ok. It wasn't!!! :p But anyway, today was the day of the taiti competition in my office. Hahaha... Supposed to start at 6 o'clock this evening. I'd already heard them talking about it since two weeks ago because an email was sent out to everyone...everyone who had a computer lah, haha. But I didn't realise that today was THE day! Saw the organiser explaining the rules to my friend before lunch. There were TWO PAGES of rules!!!?? I had no idea that you could come up with so many rules for a card game haha. But I think it's cool that there're such things lah!!! I would have joined in too if I had known how to play taiti haha. :p Could be a great way to get to know more office people. Haha and over lunch, they were suggesting a mahjong competition next time. Haha that'd be cool too! But then somebody else told me that one round of mahjong would take at least two hours so it's not very possible to organise one in the office. Anyway, took the lift up to level 5 before leaving just to see what it was all about, but it hadn't started yet. Just saw quite a few tables set up. Haha... should be fun lah.

Went with my friend to Clementi Central just to walk-walk and like de-stress after a week of work. Feel really good at the end of each week. :) Did that last Friday too, and we bought the same blouse from Baleno. Wore on Wednesday and went to show Dr. Y haha...that's the funny guy who likes to talk to himself. But he's very nice and helpful lah haha. He saw the both of us and his reaction was so funny. Do you know that he cuts his hair himself??? The back part was uneven and he was trying to explain to me that his hand suddenly got very tired at that time...hahahaha!!! So cute...

Shopped at Heeren last Saturday because my friend from Flowers in the Attic told me about the sale they were having. Such a good thing to have a friend who works there huh! :) Heh. And she's real good to me. I bought a skirt (very nice!!! haha) and a pair of silver lace butterfly earrings. But it wasn't very fun shopping alone lah. :p Anyway, I think fashion merchandising is quite interesting. The bosses travel overseas often and get nice pieces of clothing and accessories to sell in their shop...it's nice.

Last night was the start of Thai Basic 2. Now we're learning how to write the Thai script as well. Felt like I was back in primary school doing penmanship exercises again haha. But it's very very interesting lah. I'm so glad that my mum agreed to let me continue learning Thai. :) And I really really hope that I get accepted into the Japanese course at NP!!! :)
