A dozen roses to brighten the day!
Another bouquet of flowers sent to office :)
Can't say enough about how sickening things are at work now, after I changed team. Can no longer go for long lunches and I have been working till 9+ these days. Wat's worse is not the longer working hours. But I feel I dun even enjoy the nature of the work. I dun understand why I'm doing certain things sometimes. Somehow it's juz not within my grasp. Ppl tell me tat this is the initial stage and I will come to terms with it eventually. I really hope so. Otherwise, I think I can scout for a new job alr.
Juz received this year's bonus. It's lower than last year so cannot even provide me with any incentive or motivation at all. *Sigh* Things are not looking good. Alot of ppl have asked me whether I regret the decision to change team. I keep telling them tat I cannot ans cos there are pros and cons. But deep down I really miss my old comfort zone where I noe everything inside out. I'm the sort of person who totally resist change. Only god knows why I ever made the request to rotate. Haaa...
Dun look fwd to work these days alr. I wish I can take MC tmr so I dun have to go in. I have already applied leave for next Fri. Only 2 mths and I'm so tired alr. Need and want a break so badly. I'm gonna watch Kung Fu Panda 2 and Hangover 2!

Guess Watch & Movie @ JB
Bought myself a Guess watch last week from Tanjong Pagar MRT exchange. The shop was having closing down sale. I think it's a steal to get it at 30% off. This is the simplest with thinnest strap that I could find. My wrist is too small for the other big and bling-bling Guess watches though I like those designs with some diamontes. Nevertheless, I think this is understated enough for work. Cool and sleek... (Time to update my wishlist!)

More Heels & Such
I sure can shop. No doubt about it. Just during yesterday lunch alone, I blew $160. Desmond and I had a quick lunch then we walked over to Raffles Place to shop around.
Can't help but drop by GG<5 for a short while. A fatal move. They have some new arrivals. Purple instead of the pink/nude copper heels which I bought the other time. Also this black bow lace heels which I simply cannot resist and sucumb to buying. I think it's rather unique cos of the material used to make this heels. Another $100 gone...
First saw this bag the other time when I lunched with Dian. I seldom buy low-end bags already cos I can't even finish carrying all my branded bags. But this bag has been on my mind for few weeks so I decided to get it. I like the design with all the fake pockets, clasp and tag on the outside. It's from this line called Rootote from Japan. I figured since we cannot go to Jap anytime soon, I might as well pay a little more and buy it from S'pore instead...
Inevitably, I bought another pair of heels in between dinner and movie. We had so many hours to kill and I chanced upon this pair at Substance. I saw it at the first Substance shop in 313 but I didn't ask for my size. Saw it again at the next Substance of Cineleisure. Tot I will juz try my luck to see if they have my size. They do and I ended up buying. Haha... Ilike to coin this as fated. I juz have to own it.
That's how I spent more than 200 bucks in a single day. Surprisingly, I still think it's reasonable cos I haven't been buying any branded goods lately. The total of all these purchases dun even add up to the cost of 1 bag tat I normally buy. Justified right? Hahaha... I noe I'm only deceiving myself. Bleah! Still waiting for my parents to be back with brunch so we can go down to vote for GE 2011. My first time voting cos I wasn't 21 yet the last round. Cool!

Malacca Trip
Started off with a bad morn. We were supposed to meet 8.30am at the Tuas checkpoint. But Don's side was delayed and we finally managed to meet up only around 10am past M'sia checkpoint. Doesn't help that there was some miscommunication and we had to U-turn to look for them.
Reached Malacca around 2pm as there was a huge jam on the road leading into the central area. All of us were famished and we had lunch at a Nonya restaurant sharing the above dishes. Missed out on a pic of the curry chicken as we immediately dug in after it was placed on our table.
After lunch, we walked around at the shopping centres - Makota Parade and the one across the road (dunno wat's the name). Basically, we didn't buy anything at all. Somehow the styles are very different or we already have them in S'pore like Mango. The shoes at Vincci are having sale but the designs this season were disappointing as well...
We passed by a couple of ship models. Think they were from the WWII era where there's canon and forts as well to defend the Straits of Malacca? Haha... My history is super lousy lah. Juz my guess, couldn't be bothered to read up on it.
I think this is the highlight of the trip. Jonker Walk - it's like a night flea market. See how crowded it was. We had to jostle and squeeze through the crowd on the way out. We bought loads of food stuffs including the famous 三叔公.
Then, we settled for dinner at one of the famous chicken rice restaurants along the main road. The balls-like thingy in the pic are not fishballs but rice balls! Nv seen this in S'pore before. My first time eating it but it does indeed taste abit like fishball though. Lol... This completes our Malacca trip. Our feet were so tired from walking all day. Hence, we embarked on the 3-hour drive home straight after dinner. The highway was so scary, no lamp posts and the cars were all driving at an average of 150km/hr. I was clutching the cushion so tightly and on high alert. Dun even dare to sleep even though the weather was so cosy with light drizzle. Ok dun think this will be a frequent trip. I shall go enjoy my Melacca snacks alr...
