Boring Update...

So how did u spend your Valentine's Day?

I spent mine with a group of singles. A girlfren actually brought me to a gathering organised by another of her fren, who in turn brought along her frens...interesting huh =) This fren of hers, let's call her Ms D...she's a high-flyer, in her erly-thirties (I think), and still single. This is actually the second time I'm going out with a party/gathering she organised. The first one was the New Year's Eve party at Marina Mandarin, during which she gathered some 10 over people for the countdown party. She's seen the world, enjoy the finer things in life, and certainly knows how to have fun. I guess for a sua-gu like me, it's good that I know someone like her. At least it enlarges my social circle a little more, and have some harmless fun in the process.

Anyways, we went to railmall and sat down at Denise the Wine Shop. Well as you would have known by now, I can't handle alcohol. A bad drinker in the very least, but the bigger problem is one who is allergic to alcohol. Yep that's me. But I still had a little to drink. Just have to learn to pay the consequences that's all (rashes and itch)...Heh...

Yesterday's gathering was smaller, but more cosy. Cosy settings, easier conversations. Was fun, I must add. And I ended the day by succumbing to my weakness at 12 in the morning - a lime popsicle! *Bright grin!* No regrets...I swam it off today with 11 laps...hopefully. Haha...

Anyways, Ms D said she intends to organise another CNY party sometime during the second week of CNY. I must say I'm looking forward to it! I hope it doesn't fall through =D

Hmm...have got more to blog about this gathering, but am feeling a little sleepy now...140 and I've gotta work tomr. It's Friday...the last Friday before CNY. Have a client to meet tomr (sianz)..I've got lotsa to do, both at work, at home - packing and clearing for house-moving; and articles for church magazine to write too. Everything's due; nothing's done, no time; my fault. But interestingly, today (friday) is the only day this week that I don't have anything on after work. No plans, no dates. Monday - JB dinner; Tues - Run with the girls; Weds - V-day Outing; Thurs - Swim with Fen...and Friday's here now. I think I probably will head to town to get some last min stuff. But there is still a slim chance that I will stay back in office and OT. Hmm...

I've told 2 different persons today, that I think I'm getting addicted to shopping. Not that I wasn't before, but I think it may be becoming a problem worth worrying over. You see, lately I haven't exactly been in my best, and I head for shopping therapy. So much so that I buy almost everything I see/I like/I look ok in. Yeah I noe..-.- I need to learn to rein myself in and curb myself more. Mabbe when the credit card bill comes, that will jolt me to my senses. Taking 'refuge' in shopping...think I remb reading an article before about it being an escape for some ppl. It actually is a medical problem for the serious ones. Good grief, I sure hope I won't degenerate to that.

I need to clear out 5 days of overdue leave (leftover from 2004....ha!) by end of Feb. And considering next week being a 'holiday' week (3 work days only), and the subsequent week is half Feb, doesn't seem I have a lot of choice about selecting the days. I haven't decided which 5days yet, coz I need to ensure that they don't clash with those days that I need to cover events (which is quite a number coz of the festivities). The other thing is, I can't really afford to too. One of my colleague is on leave till next Thurs, and the snr designer is away on honeymoon all the way till early/mid-March. Rather short-handed already. My boss oso dunno how to let me take leave coz of a tight deadline coming up. But I've assured her that amidst my packing and house-moving (on leave), I will be bringing work home to do. Of coz she's ok with that...hmpt -.-

I dunno what rubbish Im rambling now...some random crap. Guess I shd b going to bed then. It's 2! Long day tomr...Happy New Yr first (in case I don't blog any entry next couple of days...I intend to, but u'll never know huh)
