Stayed late in Office
Been staying late in office the past 2 days. Not cos of the conversion then more work. But the below:Stupid Fire Drill exercise on Thursday.
Then, there was the collection of mooncakes on Friday. There was a mooncake road show at our office about 2 weeks ago. You pre-order and they deliver yesterday. The collection was from 4pm to 6pm. My colls and I started queueing only around 5.30pm, thinking that there would be fewer ppl as most would have collected by then. Wrong! Queue was still as long and it was moving very slowly. Luckily we took turns to queue and I went up to clear my stuffs first. Went down again around 6.10pm and it was our turn soon.
Mini Snow-skin Champagne Truffle & Ganache from Raffles Hotel. It's a hot favorite. Even managers and custodian/counterparties (other banks) also treated us to this (benefits of being client as we gave them business worth millions or billions). I love it and bought it for my own family. Getting a bit sick of it though, this is my 5th box alr.
Got 2 boxes of those traditional baked mooncakes as well. One with double egg yolks and another with macadmia nuts, pine nuts etc. These are for my God Mom and DD's family. 3 (metal) boxes in total. My arms nearly broke from carrying all these home. Mooncakes these days are so expensive. 1 box like this cost $48. Luckily, I got staff discount of 25%. They still cost me 100 over bucks though. Guess it's gonna be a yearly affair from now on...
