New Experiences

Sometimes I don't understand how bosses work. Tell me one thing ... but when the appraisal came, wrote another. Nothing bad about what he wrote, but it gives a not so accurate representation of what I want. Was a bit perturbed. Dun want to confront him in the open, so dropped him an email instead. He didn't reply but I had to wait around coz the appraisal thingy must be completed by today. After waiting around til 6+pm, I told him him I sent him an email. Then he sort of smiled sheepishly and I explained how I interpreted the report. He then agreed and said he would amend and re-send to me.
The revised version was a slight improvement. Not ideal but well, just have to make do lor.

But I'm proud of myself for speaking up. Just the day before he was telling me to be forceful in stating what I don't want to my big boss. So ok lor, I'm just heeding his advice and practising what he taught :P

Never a fan of what xbox or psp (though I had toyed with the idea of buying one previously), so naturally I'm not in the least attracted by Nintendo's wii. Finally had a chance to play with it on Fri nite. Haha, quite fun. Its all those simple, no-brainer games that requires only hand and fingers coordination. Very enjoyable actually and we played til past 1am, it helps keep the Z monster at bay. Even strike at bowling ... woooo hooo!

My friend's apartment has a nice pool. Plan was to wake up and hit the pool BUT as usual, KJ the lazy pig just admired the pool from afar, and never got around to doing it. :P
*tsk tsk*

Went to NTUC Finest @ Bukit Timah Plaza. Been wanting to check it out but never got a chance to til Sat. Finally!! Felt so sua ku. But I have to say I'm not impressed with the variety there. Its not that fantastic afterall. The overseas produce isn't all that interesting. I think I got more satisfaction shopping in NTUC @ AMK Hub. More spacious, exciting and definitely livelier! But it sure is a LONGGGG time since I last stepped foot into Bukit Timah Plaza. Think the last time I was there was several years back when I went to visit my ex-lecturer and we had lunch at Bukit Timah Plaza. The place still retained its retro "charm". I'm surprised such a dated plaza can survive til today. Brings back memories of the times mom and I would be there shopping for some necessities ....

We had lunch at this nondescript stall that sells instant noodles. I didn't get my chance to try the korean 炸酱面 that I have been meaning to try (after watching all those korean dramas) so when i saw this stall selling "black noodles", we thought to try. We also ordered the ramyeon noodles. Thinking that this stall is manned by a korean, I would get some authentic food but alas, realised that upon taking our order, she promptly opened 2 packs of instant noodles and started cooking. Haizz, disappointing.

Nontheless, a very enjoyable Saturday. And now back to the grind of everyday life....
