So Much in March

March is ending soon. Plenty of things happened this month. I am quite settled in at work now. My new best friend is the telex machine. Without fail I will show some love to it before knocking off from work, just hoping that the paper doesnt get jammed or else I'm screwed the next day. Especially on Fridays. . if the machine decides to throw a tantrum, I can forget about going back on time on Monday.



Work aside, my social life this month is truly enriching. There were 2 HUGE birthday bashes. Birthday celebrations this year seemed to be like a festival, stretching for several days. The March 'twins' Stella & Hui Liang had a preview somewhere in April, a dinner a few days before the real day and a celebration on Mar 11th itself. Jef's 'festival' some 2 days ago consist of a countdown party and a dinner the next day. Even Womad can't beat that!








The unrelated unidentical twins born on the same day with the same initial, and also almost the same height. . .















There's more to come early next month. . . Bel's up first next week and Xiao Wei & Lingzi combined celebration thereafter. Can I skip mine so as not to remind me that I will be 24. . . ?

Let Me Breathe. .

Finally the weekend is here for me to take a breather. This week's pace is kinda fast for me. After a few days in Bangkok, I went straight back to work to assume a new responsibility. It was a few days of handover and takeover which seems to be never ending. I had 2 days to understudy the new function, which even a 2 weeks period wont be enough to cover. I will just have to absorb as much as I can and grapple along the way.



Today marks the last day I will be at Inflight Services. My boss gave me this cutesy banana cartoon folder as a 'farewell' gift. Since my first day, I have been given and called by several names. "Banana Man" was one of it, thanks to my loyalty to the fruit which I consume everyday. Boss call me "Fuzzy", given by Elsie, my office hours scandal. And also Mingli, a.k.a Senior Girl called me "Junior Boy" so tenderly without fail everytime. Come Monday, I won't be able to hear my aliases that often. . .





Exactly a week ago, I was in the land of a thousand smiles. A Bangkok vacation can never go wrong. A good time for some retail therapy without really the need to consider the price. Didn't buy a lot though, can always do it again this coming July. And after seeing Wenyuan's tailor made-suit, will definitely make one for myself at the next trip. A perfect cut outfit at a reasonable price, it's worth the money.






My apologies to Hui Liang and Stella for not being able to make it for today's birthday dinner. We will tear down the house next Wed guys, to celebrate the 24 years of your existence!
