The veins on my feet are a-pop-pop-popping!!

That's what you get.
When you go shopping in a pair of heels 2.5-3 inches high.

Ok..let's zip right back to the beginning and chronicle my day right from the morn.

Mum & Dad sent me to the MRT today.
Managed to get a seat and then read my book all the way to Tanjong Pagar. Slow-moving book.
"The Seduction of Water" by Carol Goodman.

Reached and then popped over a stall to grab a noodly-breakfast. Topped with a oily piece of luncheon meat. Wonderful way to start the day. =p
Reached office and booted up.
First bite tasted rubbery but it got better with each subsequent mouthful.

Work ensued. Meeting with a vendor at 10am till 11am.
Back to work. Realised I was in an irritable mood.
Owe MK things. Been chasing me..But I don't quite know how to go about doing his stuff.
Got even more fed up whe I saw the clutter on my desk.
Decided on a whim to start packing. And spent the next hour doing so.

Found documents and stuff from 2 years ago. Needless to say, their eventual fate lay in the bin.
Did some work from then till 1230.
And then popped by Temasek Tower for makan with...guess who?
Winston Lau! Gosh, my hall senior from so long ago.
Have not seen each other for eons...4 years in fact.

Still the same old Winston.
Talkative, whacky, in a world of his own, absolutely comfortable in his own skin.
Good to see him doing well. Married with a kid. 14mth old boy.
Said I look the same..but look tired...told him I look tired all the time haha..
But it's funny. I tend to clam up when I am with a person with a stronger personality.
And he is a strong character. Haha...
He spent most of the time talking..and chided me for being so quiet ... haha...
Bo pian..shy mah.... =p

Back to work. Cleared some stuff.
Talked abit of rot here and there.
Answered some calls. Made some. Yada yada..

Left at 640. Was already at the MRT station when Guin called for help.
No one left in the office had the office key.
And so, faithful me had to walk back to the building to pass the damned key to them.

Rushed down to Raffles Place for dinner with Ahboy.
Yesterday we had Bak Chor Mee. Today..we had Don's Chicken Pie at China Square Central...
Chicky dinner for both days.
Abti tired and stoned by now. Didn't sleep well last night.

Was gonna go home. But then I could hear Bugis Junction calling out to me.
Being the docile girl that I am, I heeded its calls..and ended up with sore feet..
An even more stoned mind...
And a credit card with lotsa bills to its name.

Main culprit was dear old Biotherm. Replenished some stuff.
And got a freebie bag in return...
Loitered around. With a certain measure of self-restraint.
Afterall, money IS hard-earned.

At the station, met Huiyan! My JC mate. Used to hang out eating Mee Hoon Kueh together and gallivanting in Tampines Mall. Hahaa..took the train ride home with her..
Played catch-up in the train though it was short-lived cos she got off at Eunos.
Ended up chatting to her colleague who got off at Simei.

Seriously. I couldn't have picked a better day to go shopping.
Train was packed to the brim. Must have been the fireworks display.
I was sandwiched between hot sweaty, sticky, smelly people...
Why are there so many people staying in the east??

There you have it. My day gone in a jiffy.
Time to go unpack, bathe and well...recharge for tomorrow.

Fireworks are on tomorrow's itinerary...=)

Time flies...just seems like yesterday when we were clamouring for space on Benjamin Sheares Bridge for a glimpse of the display. Hmm..that was in 2005 man...
And in 2004, we were squeezing with others at the Esplanade.. haha...
Wonder where we will be next year?

p/s: hmm...it was never this easy to type so many words in so little minutes...
Oh well..maybe cos the rest of the times were assignment/report writing times...
