Weekend

Just another random posting considering I haven't had the time to blog for a while ...

Fri nite worked late due to some issues at work. Thankfully issue was resolved in time for the launch, but it meant holding a few vendors back from their company function. Someone asked whether it is necessary to hold them back since they have been working so hard, but my point was we have come so far, this is something that can/should be solved. So why not ?
Awww well *shrug*

In the still of the office I heard loud thumps coming from outside the window ... I suspected it was the sound of fireworks but was too busy trying to clear whatever work I could that it took me a while before I finally got my buttt off to check out the sound. I was happy to see that indeed it was fireworks and since there weren't anyone around, I just sat by the window enjoying the beautiful fireworks for a good few minutes before it ended. What's the occasion last Fri ? Why were there fireworks ah ?

On my way home happen to see two friends whom I haven't seen for a long time. Must be carbo-loading for the marathon on Sun *hiak hiak*

Managed to sleep in on Saturday and felt more rested. As any other weekends for the past couple of months, I always had grand plans about hitting the gym or going for a run during the weekends. But those plans never materialised haha. This past weekend wasn't an exception :P Sis and niece decided to pop over and we were all excited about receiving them. Just the night before I dreamt about my niece since I haven't seen her in a while! She just came back from HK from a school trip and even got me some HK wife biscuits. Isn't she a doll?? :)

I decided to go check out the Arena warehouse sale and convinced my niece to accompany me to check it out. Managed to get 2 (ugly but) cheap swimsuits for $20 each (what a steal!) and a pair of goggles. So at least I wouldn't have to worry about disintegrated swimwear (which happens to me oh-so-frequently!) for a while. Hooray!
I haven't been to the Henderson, Bukit Merah area in like ages! So was happy to be just walking around the area and reminiscing. Was telling my niece how I used to hang out there when I was in Sec school :P The place is now rather deserted ... but for someone like me who enjoys tranquility, I kinda enjoyed just walking around the neighbourhood :P

I then brought her to the Bukit Merah library and we spent a while there browsing and picking up the books we want.

I started reading this book Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office: 101 Unconscious Mistakes Women Make That Sabotage Their Careers and thought it was very interesting. Finished it yesterday and shall go get the book so that I can keep it.
