For the 2nd Sunday in a row... I had a shopping walkabout thing at Gurney with Bowie. It's great to be somewhat back to having a normal life out of work and work alone. Must crawl back into having a social life...

Btw, I think I forgot to mention that I've had 3 teeth pulled out and I'm gonna be wearing braces soon. It's gonna hurt for a while... am sure of that... provided that all the horror stories I heard were not exaggerated... but I hope I can brave the pain and eat normally ASAP.

Woke up this morning feeling weird... then I recalled my dream.

For some reason, I was in a white room with no furniture. A "chun" babe with flawless complexion, beautiful facial features, and long black wavy hair... wearing a deep rose pink top and tight black shorts was lying on her side... with a laptop computer in front of her.

Then I heard myself asking "Hi Thanadet, I've got a question regarding (something-something-something)". She answered me in a calm voice and was very helpful indeed. Very cool.

So now I sit back and think... and it finally hit me that I called the uber-babe Thanadet. That's one of my colleague's name... but it's a he! Not a she.

*LOL* Omigosh! I'm gonna have a great time teasing my colleague... he did after all wrongly typed "saya sarah" instead of "saya marah" during one of our chats just some days ago. Will finally get to do the transvestite joke on him (with the added twist) since I let him go at that time because I was busy handling my horrendous pile of work.

Update: My colleague had a really good laugh when I told him this story... and thinks that I should not be so stressed... oh well.... o.O

Essentially - the past work week had been hell. Simple as that. So much to do... and so little rest... and quite the occasional stupid question or issue to attend to (easily throws everything out of da'flow)... almost everyday... something went wrong. Friday must be additionally jinx by the curse of Friday the 13th. Ouch!

Ok... saving grace on Friday for me was to have some fun and light-hearted chats/conversations with fun-loving colleagues... although office was quite lacking the Valentine atmosphere... not decked up in any sign of the lovey-dovey-romancey day... we thought "hey! virtual flowers will do... it's the thought that counts... and also - real flowers are too exorbitant at this time of the year..." *lol*

Anyway, I've managed to watch "The Last Samurai" (starring Tom Cruise) - last Saturday evening. The story is a pretty good one... and a period drama it definitely was. The movie was made in the style that was very much along the lines of "Braveheart".

About D-Valentine's Day? It's just another for me... and I for once amazingly have the accurate hunch that something will go awfully wrong with my car. One of the radiator host went totally bust... meaning that even if we put water into the radiator... it will flow out from one other end of the system almost immediately.... Fuh! What a day!

Weekend was a blur - had to go in for work on Saturday morning... then in the evening - it was to Calvin's housewarming at Simpang Ampat til about 10-ish at night. Sunday morning was Dim Sum time... my treat... and lunch (dad's idea) was with family and guest at some restaurant - our official Yee Sang meal for CNY. Evening... steamboat dinner. In short, Sunday was "eat til you drop day" ;P

Oh there's more... Monday (2-Feb) being a replacement for Hari Raya Haji which had fallen on Sunday... was not much of a holiday for me... had to go in to work in the morning due to a project phasing in. Ah well... what can I say about that? It's quite a normal life when working for an MNC's back office operations. Luckily... I can claim back my holiday on some other time... hehehe...

Gosh... with all that's happened so far... I really do need a longer break... non-stop moving about over the last 10 days... phew!
