Lazy off days

had a department dinner treat from Beng yesterday.
food was pretty ok, but we got to spend a good amount of time chatting and crapping.

Benson sent me back to mr ma's place afterwards.
mr ma has had a long, tiring day at the 2nd day of some course his workplace sent him.
i was told he went through a refresher on unarmed combat techniques during the day.

since he was too tired to even lift a finger, i decided not to prob him too much on it. and here i am, in the office still curious (and kaypo) about it.

impressive huh?


anyways, mr ma and i were at the Chinese sinseh (Siah Ah Cheok at Upper Paya Lebar Road) on Sunday with Boon.
so far, the backache hasn't recurred, let's hang on a few days and see if it's for good.

after having our lunch of chicken rice balls, we went over to Toa Payoh for the annual Philip's Carnival Sale, and got ourselves a hair dryer, steam iron and an electric shaver for him!

caught up with Angie and Zen in Orchard later on.
went by to Cartier to pick up our rings, but apparently my ring still doesn't fit properly, so we re-ordered a smaller size to be collected another 1 - 2 months later. ho hum.

dinner was settled at Crystal Jade, then followed by dessert at Heeren's Dessert Story. 
yummo.
stopped by Tampines interchange, after dropping my bro off, to jalan a bit at the pasar malam then headed home.

Post-trip update



Back.
Got the photos up before i return to work and other crap.

Our car smells like dried seafood from the trip back.
Picked up my VS stuff from Sel and Shan before we getting the car serviced and washed.

Sel bought me a pair of Mickey & Minnie bride and groom pens from Hong Kong. 
Schweet!

Out of Town


Away from 17 - 19 April 2009
Sungai Tiang, Perak, Malaysia

A brief before our departure..

have been tied up with matters at HDB and CPF.
we're both physically and mentally stretched.
almost had to forgo the road trip to Perak, but we've decided to go ahead with it and take a break for a bit anyway.

so we're heading off early tomorrow at 5 in the morning.
Alex, Leong and their families will be with us (since it's their first drive-trip to KL) and we'll drive in a convoy then part ways before Nilai, where we take a different route and drive further up to Perak.

hopefully we'll return feeling refreshed and recharged for the resolution of the problems.

a word of thanks to Adrian and the girls, especially Mary, for the support and assistance.
love u girls.
*muack*
