Reflections of a skyline



Fevers & massive multiple ulcers aside, the past week has been frigging ace. But I'm too lazy to talk about it but just the weekend saw dinner at One Twenty Six, drinks at Blu Jaz Cafe, show & food at Scape/Cine, more food at Fei Fei, late lunch at The Garden Slug, roaming around Parkway and finally a barbecue at home to celebrate my dad's birthday tomorrow. Also, today I got my second blue box kekeke.

Now it's back to a whole week of work. I can just feel the Monday Madness already..

It's only Monday but I'm thinking of the weekend already.

The weekend was pretty good.

• Screening of Sunshine Cleaning after work on Friday, late dinner at Coffee Club then on to Bali Lane for sheesha and laughs amongst pretty cushionz. This was also the night we all unleashed our inner cholas/chicas/lesbianas hahahahaha.
  
• Saturday was pretty nuah in the day then we drove to get wine before heading to Jon's place for a bbq, which also meant I missed The Party at PC's place resulting in calls & texts from Darren & David sorrrryyyy next year lorz. Too much hilarious karaoke at the bbq but it was all fun lah.
• Lunch on Sunday was at Red Starrrrrrr (Y) (Y) (Y) we how eggcited calling after their trolley aunties hahaha. Travelled back down to Parkway for some grocery shopping after then dessert at Katong cos it was so. fucking. hot. Can die. I went home for dinner but slept through it hahahahaha so I woke up & headed out to Homeclub just in time for B-Quartet and Plain Sunset. And I deserve 30cents or something cos we took a frigging bus (!!) back to Kembangan for supper filled with ABBA sing-a-longs hahah.

And today I'm home for dinner! All my siblings were home for dinner actually how awesome.

And this was before I left the office,

This week is really turning to be a good week. All in the mind baby. Today's no exception

• Shen made me wantans and bought me egg tarts for breakfast/lunch
• It was a really good day in the office with plenty chatter & laughs & getting work done & not staying late
• I had dinner with Steph & Yigang then we laughed at people at Topshop,
• Darren called & we talked while waiting for my dad to get me from the station
• I am home early! The same day I left the house! Fucking rare meh?
  
• After being bugging for weeks, I finally have the time to watch this:

AND IT IS FUCKING HILARIOUS. As are her 'Confessions To La Quandra' videos. We need to recruit this bitch to be a teh xi.

This is what Shen shared with me this morning,
"New Cluster 3: One case with possible linkage to Butter Factory at One Fullerton

5. The 140th case is a 19-year-old Singaporean female student. On 17 June night, she went out to Butter Factory at One Fullerton, where the 96th, 117th and 118th cases were also at. On 19 June late evening, she developed symptoms while she was out shopping. On 20 June morning, she proceeded to NUH for follow-up for a for an unrelated medical condition. Swabs were taken from her for testing. On 21 June morning, she was admitted to NUH after her test indicated positive for influenza A (H1N1-2009).

6. MOH advises that patrons of Butter Factory at One Fullerton who visited the nightspot on 17 June to monitor their health closely. They are advised to seek medical attention if they should begin to feel unwell."

SUCH IS THE PRICE OF GOING TO BUTTER FACTORY.

No but seriously, all this H1n1 shit is making me damn kan cheong spider man. It's popping up everywhere & there's really no way of knowing what the people around us have been up to.

One of my colleagues's been on quarantine for about a week now cos her relative's got it. Another colleague of mine who just returned from a Paris business trip got quarantined cos she sat near a H1N1 patient on the flight. Today, another colleague left to go to the docs in the late morning after which she was quarantined in a room pending going to CDC. (That aside, there are like more than a handful on people in the office who are sick lah.) I came into contact with that colleague in the morning before she left, so the receptionist had to take my temperature jeng jeng jeng.

My mom comes home from London tomorrow. My sister returns from Melbourne sometime this week. Hope neither of them face any problems.

I don't know why this feels more real than SARS. And SARS was huge. I was part of the NDP during SARS and we had to declare 'Singapore is OK' every single week. During SARS, people still can fake high temperature to miss first period or go home. My secondary school even played host to the stupid SARS rap music video lah. I don't know what the logic is behind that but yah. This feels bigger than SARS. Maybe cos it's a mad global outbreak.

PLEASE BE SAFE EVERYONE. WASH WITH SOAP THEN AT LEAST GOT HOPE.

(Also, aside from being really upset when I got home early tonight, because today was a good day the rest of the week shall follow suit lest I shall break into aggro mode. Or just be damn pek chek, whichever.

I greet the morning sky, the sun dries tears in my eyes


These are the kitties Surin bought Steph & I from his war in Thailand. Aren't they so frigging adorable!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DADDY! Love you love you love you the #1 man in my life. Speaking of which, I can't wait for my mom to come back from London.

After a mad shit week, the weekend was just what I needed:

+ Mani/pedi at Lady Finger
+ Manpuku Japanese Gourmet Town with Shen
+ Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant with my colleagues
+ Masala Hut with Shen, Elizabeth & Sherry
+ Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe with Shen
+ George's and Macs with Tehxis
+ French toast & stew in my kitchen with Shen
+ Siloso Beach (wah half a day lor so tireddddd imagine how tired Shen must've been after his set aiyo)with Shen/my fave people/Skyler (!!!!)/Nick Han etc
+ Al-Ameen with Shen, Steph & Yigang.
+ Macs breakfast/prawn mee lunch/What Happens In Vegas with Shen

Anddddddddd it's back to work tomorrow. Hopefully it'll pass quick and I don't have to stay in so late everyday again. Can't believe June's coming to end! So quick so quick. I can't decide if I want September to come sooner or later.

Yesterday was mad. This week is going to be mad. Long hours in the office with a million things to rush, what's new ..

But Shen is still awesome. Yesterday, my phone hung in the middle of the night so the alarm didn't go off and obviously his calls to check if I was awake didn't get through either. So he came all the way to my place to tell my maid to wake me up. Even leaving McGriddles breakfast for me. How is he not awesome?

I can't wait for this week to end. And oh God it's only Tuesday morning. Gonna be a tough day.. off to work then.
