the year that was 2006
Sunday, December 31, 2006
Well it has been another good year; I've changed jobs, bought an apartment unit with boon, travelled to hong kong, macau and singapore, oh, finally had my hair rebonded (thanks to sara), switched from contacts to glasses, bought over rm800 worth of books but have read almost none of them (yet!), fell in love with
ferns, fell in love with singapore, fell in love with
breakfast at tiffany's, fell in love with the gacha machine, fell in love with boon over and over again, was less depressed with life, lost my handphone - got a new one which I hate a lot - and wishing that my handphone had legs to walk back to me.
I'm looking forward to 2007 because I can't wait to decorate our first home, fill my bookcase with more books, get pregnant (uh, I mean get married in 2008 first) and to catch the fireworks display at
The Curve in 1 minute's time.
Anyway, I got another book today! Chanced upon it with Irene at some warehouse sale which I will not divulge the name and location because that's not important.
Tadaa! It's a Quentin Blake fully illustrated book about birds. How can I possibly pass up the chance of buying this book? I may never find it anywhere except on Amazon. Oh-happy-me... happy 2006!
Vacancies wanted

I found these words emblazoned in a cloth banner above a shop selling lights in D. Uptown. Is this a new catch phrase? I’m not sure what it means though.

Today my department shifted to a bigger room next door to make way for two new departments that will be joining us next week. Thankfully it was just next door and I had nothing much to shift over. But help I did to shift my colleagues’ stuffs. With a trolley loaded with whatever-nots I zipped between rooms with much zest. Yeah right. It was more of a torture really. It was dusty, reeking with new paint and tiring. (note to self: I must remember not to clutter my table in case I decide to department-hop) After the two-hour ordeal I was looking greyer than my mood, but glad that it was finally over. And it was almost time to go home.
The company directors will be joining our office as well. I hope they will collectively agree that the toilets need upgrading. And sanitary bins are essential for hygienic purposes. And issue a restriction order to warehouse boys from using the ladies. And yes, enforce a no-smoking zone within a 10 metre parameter around my department block. Those who do not comply should be given a swift kick on the butt to leave the premises immediately. Harsh? As compared to the possibility of my deteriorating health, I don’t think so. And there you go, my week ended with a sizzling bang.
