lesson #173: people ought to put up tagboards on their blogs!

Jing and Kunz told me that they've created new blogs at almost exactly the same time. I've linked them both, so go read them and know more about the lives of my friends! See the kind of people I mix with? Isn't it no wonder that I turn out this way. Once you've read, you'll realize that there are bitchier people in this world. Haha. Just joking babes, you're all really nice people, really. Really. *long pause* Really.


Jing - did you go to the correct stall? The legendary Bedok bak chor mee stall is second from the right. (The corner stall isn't bad either, in fact I like that one too, the taste's different from the legendary stall but it's almost as nice). It may not give you mushrooms but the soup is extremely savoury.


Kunz - still need a beach/dance bag? Raffles City has a push cart stall called Bohemian Butterfly which is having up to 60% discount. The average price for a large tote is $20. As you can tell from the stall name, it sells funky bags and accessories. (Zhi - you should come down and see some of the necklaces they sell. They reminded me of you!) Esprit's tote is going for $19 each, the design's available in a few bright colours. They have orange, lime green, bold pink, red and black. The last time I checked, the Raffles City branch only has one bold pink tote left.


Anyway, I finally bought a cigar box bag! It's from Bohemian Butterfly, the stall mentioned above, and decorated with a picture of Marilyn Monroe. The shop's clearing their stock so they sold me the bag at 50% discount. Paid $24.50 for it, which I thought was really worth it. Right now on my shopping list are a nice dusty gray pantsuit ($159), and pointy covered shoes. I hope I can get my mum's sponsorship for the suit, seeing as it looks very sensible and grown-uppy. I plan to pair it with tube tops. Can't wait!


Today at work I did journal entries. At first I was complaining left and right about how boring and mindless my job is (despite being a nice change from the nightmare ex-job), keying in labor vouchers and checking and double-checking. But today I was given the opportunity to actually use my brain, and that's awesome. I used Excel to prepare the journal, as well as to allocate some overheads, and since they haven't been using formulas I have to type up the formulas for them so that in the future their work (and mine too, for the next three months) will be simplified. Also had to prepare a weekly report to be submitted to the higher-uppers. Was given these tasks because my supervisors are busy doing closing for the month. Yay! I no longer feel like a brainless doll!


PS: A freaky guy (think he's a waiter or a bellboy or something) is stalking both me and Michelle. He'll come down to my office in the afternoons after lunch hour and hang around. I came to know of this from G, who told me that the whole department knows. I feel kinda grossed out. Luckily he's ogling Michelle too, so I don't feel so squeamish.
