Had dinner at Spageddies yest with jy, glen and dee (henceforth they shall be known as jgd). Lots of pasta and cheese and creamy sauce makes Cheryl a happy girl. :) There was al fresco dining with a wonderful view but NOOOOO we had to sit inside cos someone didn't want to think of us as sitting 'outside the restaurant'. *pouts* I remember the last time we all met back in SN to collect our O's results. The anxiety didn't affect our appetite one bit. We trawled our favourite hangouts - the canteen and the library (very cool, I know) - and I was with Beek when they announced her spectacular results over the PA system. I hope to see many smiling faces tomorrow. And not feel resentful.

It's a sleepy Monday morning and it's all I can do not to fall asleep at my desk. Only 3 new emails left in my inbox so I'm going to savour them slowly.

Met up with j, g and d yest to bake! We baked sticky cinnamon rolls and orange cupcakes. Fun fun. I have to say, j's house is very well-stocked. I want a bread machine too! So I can get soft, fluffy dough, v nice to touch.

A's results out on Wednesday and I'm getting panicky. Do I really want to be a lawyer? Do I really want to be an accountant? Would I prefer spending my days squinting at the fine print or number-crunching? Everyday I sit in the office typing emails and negotiating deals, and the routine is killing me.

Hoho am at work now, munching on Zoo Land. Zoo Land rocks - it took me through SN and NJ and now work. Am rather bored. But must not complain about it. The last time I complained of boredom, there was a sudden slew of terminations and I was so bogged down for days that they had to hire another temp girl to deal with an oncoming project. So now I shall not complain, but discreetly surf the net and try to download msn.

More than four hours, half a pizza and three spicy drumlets later and my blood is still boiling. At least, it does everytime I think about it. Is it any wonder that my family has a history of high bp? AARH. Could anyone have been more condescending? These are the sort of people that fire my ambition. Climb to the top, and kick them right off the ladder. Ok, I think people shouldn't read this post. It's full of bad feeling. Ok, must be positive. At least my bosses are very nice.

Reading jy's blog just made me feel better. She exudes happy vibes. Like summer! Only blonder and smarter. (Am I contradicting myself?) :)

Yest was a busybusy day. Collected vanilla cupcakes with buttercream icing from Sam, then met up with the tribe for Subway and B&J's! YUM. Then went for the NTU talks, only I didn't actually attend a talk. Just went inside the ballroom to talk to people and left before it started. Shows my level of interest, doesn't it? Then jy and I went to Borders, which was packed with kiasus like us, there for the 30% off. Bought To Kill A Mockingbird! The matte black versh with the stick-bird on it. Felt qt guilty abt getting fiction when jy was reading Freakonomics and getting stuff like the Economic Hitman. Eek. I shall get a book on philosophy or sth next time. Oh, jy and I have BIG PLANS. -nods- Hoho. :) Had a Crystal Jade dinner with my family then had dinner again at Nic's house. I wanna go army too, then can lose weight and tone. Ok, come to think of it I don't wanna.

Yay I feel so much better now.

Can you say bad day?

Some people are unbelievably rude, not to mention obnoxious, thick-headed, smarmy, self-important (also deluded), smug, idiotic and ANNOYING.

Boo. I blew thirty on dinner last night. I am a silly girl. (Although, if I allow myself to think about it using Becky Bloomwood reasoning, we did spend three hours eating. And talking. And walking for refills. So that comes up to ten an hour, which is kind of reasonable.) According to my budget plan (which allows a somewhat generous $337 a month), I have about a hundred and twenty bucks left for the next two weeks. Which sounds decent. But transport! And food! That alone will come up to about a hundred and fifteen for the next two weeks. I think I'm gonna have to start bringing packed lunches to work. :(

It's the day after V Day so I shall be excused for saying I love love love my friends. :) Met up with the tribe minus Ade after work yest for dinner and nee and beek brought a damn pretty CUSTOM-MADE B&J cake. Filled with lots of cherry garcia and mint and fudge brownies and strawberries! And we exchanged presents, like back in SN! (I felt v bad, didn't get anything for them. But at least I did for Christmas.)

Am happyyyyy. Just bought 2 cds- Keane and Coldplay. Really cheap! Yaaaay. And I bought my nice copper/bronze bag yest. So POP goes my budget plan, which I painstakingly crafted (using Excel!) one boring day at work. Still. Am beaming! Hoho my colleague just borrowed my cds to burn. And I haven't even opened them yet!

Am annoyed. The inefficiencies of the system are NOT my fault k. So am sitting here eating choc. I've alr gained 1kg working, v bad. Am going to buy a bag tmr! Yay. Cos the branch at Tiong Bahru Plaza didn't have a new piece in the colour that I wanted.

Hoho the SBS buses with the cute heart-shaped noses make me smile. :)

I want a BlackBerry! Haha I have no idea what it is actually, I think it's some silver, super sleek multi-functional handheld electronic device that busybusy professionals use to record their zillion meetings and check emails or whatever. But I want one! Cos it sounds so cute. Honestly, I don't think it'll sell as well if they call it like T1087X or sth. The people in Undomestic Goddess were always frantically typing away on the BlackBerries. I want to frantically type away on a BlackBerry too.

Hoho secretarial work is becoming more fun. I like calling people up asking them not to terminate their contracts.

Yay I'm happy!

Oh help. :( :(

Bleah. No mobile phones, no booking out on weekends. Field camps suck.

Met up with some classmates on Tuesday for Hans and Starbucks. Haha the guys could not stop talking abt NS, it was hilarious. Lionel was hilarious too. He's going to grow up to be one of those eccentric lao ah peh, I can see it alr. In a good way, of course. :) Bleah I think the next time I see them will be when we go back to NJ to collect results.

Ate lots and lots yesterday. Firstly, an 8-course 'Lo Hei' lunch with my colleagues at Long Beach. Then a zi cha (but with hor fun instead of rice) dinner with jy, dee, rah, glen. Lots of yummy seafood and meat but no veg.

Ok gotta get changed for yoga now.

Oh goodness. I've eaten 80% of five big bottles of pineapple tarts in the past few weeks. I didn't even realise it until I told rah. And then I was like hmm that's a lot. Am bored at work. This morning was rather busy. But now I've nothing to do so I'm msging j, who's bored but AT HOME. Honey, be thankful for it. I need to jog. Neeeeeed to jog. I can see my belly forming as it is.
