We are So Grown-up

Last night went out for dinner and drinks with my college mates. We went to this seafood restaurant near Tropicana for dinner. Everyone’s stomach was growling by the dinner was finally served. As usual, we normally have to wait for 30-60 minutes for everyone to arrive, no exceptional for last night too. So, by the time we started eating, it was already close to 9pm.

There were 10 of us last night, and we ordered 2 plates of vegetables, one fish, 6 crabs (yes, SIX crabs!!), mussels, prawns and deep fried pork. After dinner, we headed off to SS2 for desserts. Yeah, everyone was so damn full, but each of us still managed to have another bowl of “tong shui” at this famous dessert shop in SS2. Some of the guys even ordered 2! Wonder why everyone has such good appetite last night!

Of course we didn’t come out solely to eat, but to get our wedding invitation cards from our friends who are getting married in 3 weeks time! That’s very fast! Throughout the night, the guys were talking about financial standards, how bad the property market is in Malaysia now, how market will be like after GST is implemented and etc. Get a life man! It was Saturday night! Since when we started talking about all these serious topics whenever we go out?!

Without realizing it, another friend and I who are in the same industry too started talking about our job, and sharing our experiences with those weird clients. The guys then yelled at us: “Hey, it’s a Saturday night! Stop talking about your work!”

All of sudden, I feel so grown-up (In fact, I am really a grown-up adult). I miss those days that we all gathered together and shared those silly gossips......

Merry Little Christmas

Another week to Christmas.
I don't really have that Christmas mood this year for no reason. Despite of the pretty decoration in shopping malls (especially MV Megamall), and nicely wrapped christmas gifts selling everywhere, none of the people around me is actually in the mood to plan for their Christmas.
While I was in the office this morning, I realised I haven't sent out any greeting cards to my clients yet. I found out that I was only given 5 pieces of cards, how pathetic! In that case, I have to "super" selective when sending out these cards. I decided to pick the top 5 clients who: give me the most revenue + most friendly + easiest to deal with! I wonder except these work-related-christmas-card, any of the people around me still send out the "real" (exclude e-card) Christmas cards. At least, I have stopped sending them quite long ago, and did not receive any too!
Some friends will be away for holiday during Christmas long weekend, some will be going to church on the Christmas eve, some are deciding where to have the Christmas eve dinner. Any good suggestion for Christmas dinner?

New Look!

Yes, I'm finally back! Finally I start writing and try my best to keep this blog active and as updated as possible. In conjunction with Christmas, I have also changed the template that I've been using. I have selected something I initially thought is suitable for Christmas, but I guess I'm wrong, the colour looks quite ... ...just not "me"!
Haven't been staying at home on a Saturday afternoon for quite some time. If you know me, I will definitely at the gym every Saturday after work. Since I can't stay for my favourite last class this weekend, due to a dinner to go, I choose not to go at all! Thanks to the good weather out there, I enjoy staying at home, with the cool breeze, and after rain smell, I'm happily blogging with the Madonna latest album - confessions on a dance floor playing!
Stay tune for more of my recent updates!
