Weekend updates

Another weekend passed by so quickly. Woke up pretty early this morning and reached office early too. My boss also came in at 8.30am so meaning she will leave by 5.30pm. Was busy clearing up my mailboxes after being away for 3 working days with 60+ mails, not too bad la. Also need to follow up on few stuffs which my colleagues always happily passed over to me without attempting to do at all. Sometimes quite sick of these dependent idiots but no choice... This probably shows how important I am... hahaha...

Thinking if I should head out of office during lunch but no idea where to go. No more presents hunting so end up abit motiveless. Not feeling hungry yet coz ate my breakfast (chee cheong fun) quite late at 9am+ after clearing some work.

Sunday
Our catered food arrived b4 12 noon for grandma's birthday celebration, just in time to savour our empty stomachs. We ate as we waited for few more people to turn up. The food was so so la, compared to the last time we used this caterer for a farewell lunch for a colleague. Did quite abit of negotiation and eventually got $7 per pax. + $30 delivery charge, not too bad but not my ideal budget... abit too neow. Actually not me la, but coz its paid by my dad and he dun want to spend too much.

The roasted chicken (1st pic on right) was bought separately and my second aunt also made agar agar and watermelon and honeydew sago but I forgot to take pictures.

Left column: 1st - Nonya Cap Cai,

Right column:
2nd - Fried Hong Kong Mee,
3rd - Sweet and sour fish fillet,
4th - Almond Longan

My cousins bought grandma's birthday cake from Sweet Secrets, not too bad especially the biscuit part. Grandma is 84 this year, hope she will stay healthy and happy everyday!

It was then a singing session for grandma, both english and mandarin versions of the birthday song. Did you notice there were more females around? Its always been then trend as each family (grandma has 7 kids btw - 4 sons and 3 daughters) has at least 2 gals and 1 boy, except for one which has 1 gal and another has 1 gal and 1 boy. So in total, we have like 10 females and 5 males cousins! Not everyone was present though. One male cousin flew to Vietnam on a biz trip and one female cousin in India for her studies' exchange programme or what.

I stayed around to chat with the cousins while waiting for the cutting cake time. Sis had to leave early for her lessons. Should have cut cake 1st but dad wanted to wait for another aunt and cousin. End up only the cousin turned up ard 2pm and we all called her VIP!!

I rushed off to meet Web after eating cake and was perpiring by the time I reached AMK mrt station. It then started raining while I waited abit for Web. He wasn't feeling well again (yes again, kept getting sick and refused to finish antibiotics everytime... really dunno what to say) and really dampened my mood for the day. Told him he should have told me he wasn't feeling well, at least he can stay home and rest. I could have enjoyed myself more at home with the cousins than seeing his sick face. Hai~ at least he made an effort I guess.

We played pool for a while then went to have an early dinner. I din eat much coz not so hungry and left for the library afterwards. Web was mostly sleeping in the library and I managed to finish a mandarin novel... stylo rite? We then left for home b4 9pm.

Saturday

We decided to skip cycling this time. Went PS 1st then walked to the Orchard library at Taka to read some magazines and newspapers. Time seemed to past quite fast today and soon its dinner time. Decided to go healthy so walked to Cineleisure for Subway and walked back to Taka and hanged around until ard 10pm.
