Hangover Thursday

Since the office was picking up the tab for last night's dinner, I helped myself to as many drinks I could have.. LOL.. a couple of sangrias, beer and even champagne! *hic* The office had booked the entire restaurant for the night and even invited some clients, most of whom drank so much they got pretty drunk even before the main course was served :P

I was working out my expenses for the month ...I am so skint !!! I have to settle the payment for my May trip by month end.. together with mom's share of it, since bro and I promised to treat her to a holiday this Mother's Day :D I think I am gonna live on bread and water for next month :P

Dinner at Cava

There's an office dinner tonight at Cava, a Spanish restaurant in Bangsar. It's gonna be another one of those long boring dinner with free-flowing wines in the company of my colleagues and partners. Usually I'd try to stay out of these kind of functions, but I couldn't wriggle my way out of this one LOL. I will have to find a way to sneak off early when the partners are drunk ...

I was either too bored or really excited last night cos I was thinking of packing my bag for the Genting trip. LMAO. I'm only gonna be away for one night so there really isn't much to pack.. all I need are:-

my Stay Real tee CHECK
concert ticket CHECK
Keroshin banner (musn't forget the banner!) CHECK

blue lightstick.. ermm don't seem to have this one as yet ... KIV

and I'm all set to go!! :D

Countdown to Mayday's Genting concert!!

Less than a week to go. I can't wait!! My last trip up to Genting was almost 3 years ago (gasp!) It was sometime in June/July 2005 when I attended Leehom's concert. If it were not for concerts, I wouldn't ever bother making a trip up there.

I found this old newspaper cutting the other day when I was sorting my old mails I found this sandwiched in between some old letters. 

I just came across the results for the Music Radio Awards held in Beijing yesterday. Mayday won for best band for HK/Taiwan. Apparently Jay Chou was also at the event and he expressed interest in collaborating with Mayday in the near future. Ooo very interesting indeed. Ashin and Jay collaboration?

Ohhh Ashin is sporting a brand new Stay Real tee!! I love the new design!! Hmm.. "Back to Earth"? Could this possibly be a new design for the "Down To Earth" world tour? The official Stay Real website don't seem to have any updates on the new tee. I hope they sell it at the Singapore Down To Earth concert 

Here comes Keroro!

I picked up a Keroro model kit today. What a cute lil thing! Hehe. I thought it'd take me hours to assemble it cos it looked pretty complicated but in the end I assembled it in no more than 30 mins

before....

after...

Phoenix Wright prequel?

I started playing Phoenix Wright 2 in early January this year and I've yet to finish the game! LOL. How shameful! I stopped playing the DS for awhile now and am picking the game from where I left off months ago. Gotta finish off this one quick.. there's still Part 3 and 4 waiting.. and what's this I hear about a rumoured prequel in the works with Miles Edgeworth in the lead role? Ooo.. I am looking forward to that! But first, can someone please tell me if A.A. did kill Juan in the final case of Justice For All?? I am stuck in the witness cross examination..

Now if you will excuse me, duty calls. I have to be back in the Courtroom to continue A.A's cross examination. LOL

Secretaries Week

I believe Secretaries Week falls next week? What's it got to do with me? Yeah exactly. But Jo from work has been constantly reminding me of the upcoming Secretaries Week. Over the past 2 weeks she has been picking up all the Secretaries Week luncheon promotion flyers faxed over to our office and dropping them on my desk. She recommended a luncheon at Times Square. Only RM46 per pax. Umm.. OK OK I get the hint. I will take my secretary out for luncheon next week.

Jo is my secretary's "neighbour" at work.. they sit side by side. Jo's boss is my neighbour cos our rooms are side by side though I have yet to get acquainted with her cos she is new and I don't socialise much at work. LOL :P

Little Sun

I've just added a music player to this blog. It's a pretty neat player that allows you to listen to all the songs that I've in my playlist.

The track you are currently listening to is the brand new "Little Sun (小太陽)" which was released sometime last week (.. or was it the week before?)

WOOHOOOOO!!!!! Ashin's book signing session!!

I am finally gonna get my Escape to Japan book signed by Ashin!!! :D :D :D

I just read news that both Ashin and Stone are gonna be at IMM on 27th April to sign copies of their respective books. Stone's book [titled "Baby, Let's Rock"] will be released on 9th April (Not gonna buy that.. not at all interested in Stone and Gougou's account of pre- and post-Little Stone's birth LOL though interestingly enough, the book even talks about when Little Stone was conceived while the couple were in Japan for a Coldplay concert.. err err.. too much information there :P)

Bonehead's Bank Holiday

What a long and gruelling week this has been! Files are mounting on my desk and there was a crisis the other day at work which thankfully was resolved before it exploded. I got an earful from the bank manager. Needless to say it wasn't pleasant but I am sure the other guy I was dealing with at the bank (the bank manager's subordinate) had it worse. Even the partner overseeing the file was not spared. LOL!

I was given a new file today and the pesky client insisted on meeting me tomorrow cos he works across the causeway and is only back in KL during the weekend. *grumble* *grumble*

I think I need a break from work.

You know I need a little break
To get away for a holiday
So I can see the sun
Cos in the sun they say it's fun
If you can get some
Well I could take a train or a boat or an aeroplane
Or I could steal a car
Cos in a car you can go far
It just depends on what kind of car you are

That song reminds me of "D'Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman?" that Ashin swiped for one of his song ^__^ (Oasis is afterall one of his fave band). I love this song! It's one of my fave Oasis b-side and these are my fave lines off the song that I am sure we all can relate to:

It's funny how your dreams changed as you're growing old

You don't wanna be no spaceman

You just want gold

April's fool!

Whilst I was in a meeting this morning with my colleague and a client early this morning, the fire alarm went off.. oh dang!!! Turned out to be a fire drill. Had to walk in my heels all the way down from Level 12 cos we weren't allowed to take the lift (my left knee almost gave way... LOL)

Rayne took me to Sungei Wang after work today to check out a shop that was selling custom made LED board. Now, I have asked numerous people but none knew where in KL to get a LED board made. Rayne's fren who's a TVXQ fan had her board made there. Turns out the guy running the place is a mega rip-off. He showed me a sample banner that he was currently working on which was not even as big as my Casey banner.. and it costs a whopping RM500!!! *faints*

Baby J buzzed me when I was still outside saying she had read on Ashin's blog that the Down To Earth tour was cancelled (WTH??!!).. only to find out that it's an April's Fool prank by Ashin. Cheeky monkey!! LOL

.... I am getting my increment this month!! hurray!! :D
