So on Friday, packed my 'homework' and left the office at 6.30pm to meet the gang (Mark,Fu, Des, Shu Han, Zack) at Novena Square for a nice dinner at WARAKU! Saw Fu on the way and went to see some shoes while searching for the restaurant. He was more excited about the shoes than i.. gosh i love this guy! Perfect to bring him along for shopping in future. Haha. Oh, he finally bought his Fred Perry shoes. Happy ya? :P
it's simply relaxing and cosy just enjoying a nice meal with dear friends :) I'm still kicking myself for not taking any pics! The light was good. *sigh* Food was good too albeit expensive. I find myself craving for the Epi Lipah (Fried rice with prawns). The guys were happy.. they each bought a dozen of Donut Factory! (Needless to say what i had for lunch today). And Des got fans! We were on the escalator when this guy from the opposite direction walked past and turned back, said to his friend "Isnt that Desiree??" Woooooooo......! Our gal got fans! :D
the rest went for beer while zack and i went back home. Poor zack was dead beat. Packing a mere 4 hours of sleep, he woke up at 6.30am and headed off to CDA (Choa Chu Kang) for training (yes, he's a trainer now!) and whisked off to Marky's at 4pm to paint a blackened wall before his mum comes home! A tatami caught fire the night before during their jamming session!!! Thank goodness Fu brought it out of the basement after putting out the flame. But unbeknownst to them, the cotton deep inside was still burning and by morning, we got a lovely charred tatami which comes with a blackened wall and 2 cracked floor tiles. So mark and zack spent 2 hours painting the wall and putting the place back in shape. Evidence cleared and none the wiser.. hahahah!
On our way home on the expressway.....
We saw a 6-car pile up! And of crse my civic-hearted hubby stopped to help. He walked around to check for casualties or injuries and called the ambulance. 2 ladies were complaining of back pains. Cracked windscreens all over the place, boots and dashboards smashed in, boy, the insurance companies will have a field day. Everyone was taking pictures, exchanging contacts. At least no tempers flew. We left when the ambulance arrived.
Cant help a surge of pride when Zack went forward, identified himself as a Paramedic and took charge. Making sure everyone was alright. He was off duty and didnt even have to stop to help. And not stopping to help was simply unthinkable to him. My man. My Hero.. *sigh*
Zack said such accidents are also good places to check out which car models are good.. hahhahah!
We had numerous conversations over dinner, talking about work after a long day. And we can truly empathise the nature of each other's job. Different industry. Different environment. Different dynamics. One similarity: It's a thankless job. But he loves his job which is most important, he is good at what he does and is doing very well :) I can ask him any medical situation and he can sprout out those bombastic medical term or medicine at the top of his head. I call him my walking medical encyclopedia.
My job?
It has its rewards though few and far between. But receiving thank you notes from colleagues during Christmas, thanking me for a job well done for the company.. sure dissipates those dark thoughts. Did my performance appraisal with my boss recently. Keeping in mind it ties in with bonus, she's giving me the highest grade! Then she told me she's grooming me as her successor.. i had a double take. When she leaves, she doesnt want the management to get a replacement but for me to step up and wear the mantle. Oh my gosh...... Needless to say, that wouldnt be for eons but knowing that my boss has something of this magnitude in store for me.. is indeed touching and encouraging.
We can only thank God and give Him the glory.
cool! i just realised Fu took a shot at Waraku while fiddling with my hp.. now we got pics to see!
Talking Watch. They were looking at Ration's watch, which is currently under Fu's care while holidaying in Taiwan.
They found out about someone's watch.... haha.
alrighty, gotta ciao...
