What a week it had been. I enjoyed as much as I could and now I'm feeling really fagged. First it's the change in my office seating. Suddenly, it hit me hard, that I've more responsibilities now. But, I'll take the challenge and pull through!
Then, Transformers with Sab at Vivo. Though it was super long, it didn't feel draggy at all. But, seriously, the ending is not satisfying...
Elaine-chan's birthday surprise FAILED, but thankfully she pretended to be surprised and was all smiles! =) Though we couldn't spend much time together on Wed night, we had great fun camwhoring, munching on the 'cheese burger' cake and relishing on the shaved ice at Heeren basement. I so can't wait for Eunice - Wendy farewell 'party' this week. WHEE~!
On Fri, the people in the office (plus me) had to go for some Service Talk at the Tampines clubhouse. Before that, we chilled at Minds Cafe and played a game of Dirty Minds. That is the most gross game ever. I think James will enjoy it though. LOL. We probably should play it with the gang some day. After our late lunch, we went to the theatre and did some rather funny things. The activities felt like a segment of a secondary school camp..., but since it was a Friday evening, no one seem to care how lame the whole thing was. Including me!
And Elaine, Sam and I headed to Night Fest to have some artsy fartsy entertainment later at night. All I can say is...it didn't live up to what I expected. Perhaps because the opening performance pissed me off. I find it strange that I had to appreciate art in a crowd, where I couldn't catch even a glimpse of the first 15 mins of the performance. The only thing that could have cheered me up was the firework, but that screwed up too because the fireworks ashes (or remains) was falling on the crowd. It got into my eyes okay! =( Otherwise, I felt this year's Night Fest focused more on flea market. There was one at SMU and a bigger one on the grounds of Singapore Art Museum. And I bought a new bag! YAY! And now got to wait for my pay day...
Lastly, I had so much fun at NDP (except for the ridiculous uniform...)! It was such a delight to welcome people to NDP with smiles and we even got compliments from some members of the audience! At first, it felt weird 'cos most of the time it felt like I was talking to myself. But soon, more people were reciprocating my smile and all. I really felt good.
The highlight of the parade has to be the sudden downpour while fireworks filled the ebony sky with colours... Though I didn't relish the colourful sight, strangely I felt satisfied getting drenched while saying my goodbyes and directing the audience. It was sheer pleasure directing the Pri 5 kids from the Yellow sector! If only it were just another non-rainy day, I'd probably could get some good quotes from these little people. And they were so cute not wanting to go 'cos this is one of their rare chances to get wet in the rain. When I asked a boy why he wasn't wearing a poncho, he smiled and said shyly, "I lost it." Damn cute! =)
It reminded me of the time when I first went to watch the NDP in Pri 5 (just minus the cool cameras and camera-phones kids now own).
And all this has led up to me being sick, and I slept the whole of this moorning and afternoon, that now my body aches terribly. I've got to do some stretching later to get rid of the laziness my body has been accustomed to.
