The time is 9.06 am and i am alone in the office.

There are 4 other ladies in the office. 1 of them has taken off in lieu today and the other 3 has gone for their morning cigarette break. which explains why I am alone in the office.

Things are a lil bit better for me. Tho i dont LOVE work at least i have responsibilities now. I've been put in charge of an event by the club manager. A corporate cocktail for the present and potential clients. so basically i have to like help to source out door gifts, design and mail out the invites, prepare the guest list, RSVP, coordinate the thing etc etc. I dont do internal liason tho. coz the staff are more familiar with each other ma. so.. more of external liason. ya, liddat lor. tink i'll be busier next month ah.

i wonder y when some ppl type they need to hit the keyboard very hard. ya. we all know that u're typing. no need to hit so hard rite.

actuali i tink my work place is not as bad or as stressful as other ppl ah. usuali when there's events and there's extra food my colleagues will go and kope some and bring down. so we get to eat satay and stuff. then there's a movenpick ice cream stand at the restaurant, so we can go by ice cream in the evening. oh. and my office is inside the games room which is like an arcade so sometimes after lunch i'll go play the F1 game.

im just not very happy coz i dun get much to do.. i tink. its either tt or its because they still consider me as an outsider ah. actuali i tink they tink i'm the goody-two-shoes type (which compared to them i am ah). They were actuali surprised tt i am still living with my parents ah. like d'uh. suka hati aku ah! so.. ya. i got no kaki ah. so quite tehh.

yesterday i went to the turf club with my dad. first time sia see horses. SUA KU sak!! and the place ah.. is like so unlike any other ah. its not even like Singapore. there are so many ppl of all races and nationalities and across the spectrum of rich and poor. u can basically litter wherever u wan.. there are betting slips covering the floor ah. the horses are so pretty! so majestic and their muscles are rippling and glistening under their sweaty skin. their mane and tail are so smooth and shiny! (kalah advertisement pantene).

the place is divided into 3 levels. the first level is open air, where the arena is. tix are $4 for the entire day. the second level is air con. tix are at $7 for the entire day. the 3rd level is the VIP grand stand and lounges. for the corporate guest and super rich. there were 9 races yesterday, the last one being the SIA international cup race. the 1st and 2nd placing went to Japanese owners, trainers and jockey. we din stay for tt one. it was 8+. we onli watched from race 3 to 6. it was an experience ah. a very different take on Singapore. reli. like some alien world. but it was fun coz all the ah peks were like cheering for the horses (they got bet one mah). so they were like "GO! GO!", "All the way! All the way!" and chanting the numbers like "LAK HO ah!! LAK HO!!" haha. that's 6 in hokkien i tink. and ya.. there got a lo of studious ppl, reading their racing guides and taking notes. which caused me to wonder loudly to my dad "Tu lah.. dulu mak diorang suro belajar liat, skarang rajin pulak diorang menelaah. agaknye kalau dulu rajin cam gini da masok university da." (see la, last time lazy to study, now so dilligent. maybe if they were this hard working last time they would have gone to university).

hee2.

but i tink out of all the gambling possibilities, horse racing is the least luck-based one. its probably more of knowing the performance of the horse, trainer and jockey. but realli, the horses are so pretty! i wan i wan!!

i was working on sat so ody and i cud onli meet up in the evening. (i work one full sat a month). we wanted to watch Priceless (the one with Audrey Tatou) but it was sold out but the time we got to cineleisure. so we watched Eternal Summer instead!
http://sg.movies.yahoo.com/Eternal+Summer/movie/14100/

i strongly recommend the movie (especiali for ppl who prefer art house movies to blockbusters). the cinematography and direction are fantastic and its a very character-based story. overall, i give it 4 and a half out of 5 stars. this movie is in Mandarin.

another movie i just caught is Mukhsin. its again, an art house movie by a prolific Malaysian writer and director. a "prequel" to Sepet and Gubra. its FANTASTIC!! reali reali reali good stuff. 5 out of 5 stars. its again, a character piece with great direction and great subtle comic relief. comes highly recommended by moi. this movie is in Malay. http://sg.movies.yahoo.com/Mukhsin/movie/14079/

next week is POTC day with ODY!!! I'M SOOOOOO FREAKIN EXCITED!!!!!!!!! YEY!

ok. back to work.
