My Eyebags! They Be Very Large!

Waaaah! My eyebags! They be very large! :(

Ah well.

I had a pleasant evening last night having dinner at Khansama with Chui Hua and Claire. Got back home at about 11pm (which is *way* past my supposed bedtime now). Chatted with the grasshopper online- a combination of talking on skype and on the phone (free idd calls rock!). Got off the line at almost 1am, and then drifted off to sleep.

It's nice to be able to talk endlessly about everything and anything- I'm sure the nonsense could have gone on for much longer if I didn't have to wake up early. A mutual friend commented that things between us seemed so effortless, and that's the way things are supposed to be, no?

I'm not saying that everything is easy peasy and that zero effort is required to make things work. Of course you need to make things work- the phone calls, making time for each other on skype, the trips to visit each other, being understanding when trips have always been one way so far (hiak hiak, yes, this is a dig.).

But I guess my point is, hmm do I even have a point? *thinks* Hmm. I guess what I'm trying to say is, even though our late night chats leave me with giant eyebags, it's all worth it. Lol. (No, I didn't have a point. It's too early in the morning! Lol.)

Meeting New People

Had dinner with Chui Hua today at Khansama. She asked another friend, Claire, along and we met up to have our fill of indian food and drink.

For three gals we ordered ahelluvalot of food: pani puri, aloo tikki, palak paneer, something kofta, raita, and a naan basket. It was waay too much, but oh-so-delicious.

Anyway, it was my first time meeting Claire and I have to say, it's been a long time since I met someone new. It's always easier to hang out with people you're comfortable with, but it's so refreshing to get a new perspective on things.

Tonight was a blast. I'm glad we got along and we were laughing and talking and having a good time. And between the two of us, we're already planning Chui Hua's debut drunken session- in a hotel room in Sentosa and a bottle (or two) of Grey Goose no less! Lol.

Need Sleep

It's only been three days of going to the office early and already I'm exhausted. Waking up so early every day is just so tiring. *yawn*

But I'm glad my hours aren't as long as last year. At least my days are longer than 12 hours, compared to the 14 hours we were pulling the last round.

I've been trying to sleep earlier, but the body is just used to sleeping late. I lie in bed tossing and turning and only end up falling asleep a few hours later. Sian ah, but what to do?

Anyway need to pick up on the exercise!!! Well, maybe not. Apparently we can hire a yak on our way up. Hmmm I've never ridden on a yak. Lol.

It's April, My Peak Period Has Started And It's Unnatural To Be Up So Early

I'm on my way to work. I woke up at 6ish, snoozed all the way till it was 5 min to 7, woke up and got ready and rushed out of the house. Gah. So early.

Now I'm one stop away from the office and on normal days, I'd be pressing the snooze button at home for the first time. Zzz.

Anyway this will pass. The long days, the 6 day weeks. Having done all this for one round last year means I'm better prepared this time and know what to expect. I also have 2 teams, which means I can shift my manpower around. Which means, I don't have tay back *too* late to finish all my reports and stuff.

Am in an OK mood today. Hope it'll improve once I get my coffee. Also I need to figure out what cold clothes I should get -5degC weather. Hello, base camp!

16x2

Feel so proud of myself. Climbed up the flight of stairs this evening, all 16 storeys, and then went back down and climbed up again. So don't say I'm not training for base camp hor.

LGG

Since Wen is blogging about me now, I thought I'd do the same and blog about her. Except mine isn't so cheem and I'm lying on my side and typing with one hand. I suspect I'll finish this entry before she does though. Lol.

Can't imagine it's been 6 years since I met Wen. From being my boss, three times over, to now msn buddy/ travel companion/ fellow sari-wearing Indian housewife in India/ BFF. (Uh oh, my hand tired liao.)

Ok I think I write in point form. 

- she rocks

- anyone would be lucky to have her as a friend

- amazing the nonsense that comes out of our mouths when we are together

- supportive through tough times

- willing partner to all my crazy ideas

Hand. Pain. Continue another time. But Wen, I love you. Thanks for being such an awesome friend. *gush*

Not Getting Any Younger, You Know

Gah. I am so tired. Met up with LGG last night and she was out with Johnny and his new colleague, Kennedy. Ching and Alfred joined us later as well.

3 jugs of margaritas later, we were talking about going to KTVs, 'tea parties', dancing girls at Indian weddings, and Johnny was going around from table to table telling everyone that he was a bitch and a slut. Lol.

Was back home by 11pm and conked out. Woke up at about 3 and had some food, then went back to bed at about 5.

Feeling knackered now and I think I've got a pinched nerve on my left shoulder blade. Ugh.
