a one-word summary of my week - BUSY.
work's been mad. likewise, i'm going mad too.
one single day of work with *ahem* is enough to drive one crazy.
for some reason it has just got to be me.
i've got 5 weeks in total - 1 week down, 4 more to go.
been wanting to clear my leave, take a break, but the team's schedule is so messy.
the earliest i can do is end of May, since April i'm on night shift and there's not much point in clearing leave.
there's so many changes going on around here daily.
change in job scopes, increasing expectations, people are leaving, the roster's screwed up...
like what E says, we should be considering our options soon. if not for the tonnes of commitment i have, i would "just do it". oh well...
i met up with the girls after work last Wednesday to discuss on the wedding plans and bridesmaids duties. had a choppity dinner at the hawker centre then headed over to Wala for a drink. work resumed as per normal the next two days with zero time to chat.
had to postpone the collection of our health screening results because Poppy had a last minute press conference for his work.
headed straight for the IT Show in Suntec when he returned. because i already "aimed" the items i needed and compared prices prior to making my way down, it was a pretty zippy affair. within an hour, we paid for and collected our Nikon cammie. i was contemplating between the Nikon Coolpix s8000 vs Canon SX 210 IS (see comparison below). online reviews, already announced the s8000 as a winner, but i just had to see it myself. but alas, they didn't have the SX 210 IS at the IT Show, so i happily bought and paid for my Nikon. initially wanted the black version but it's already sold out, so i got the red one, and realized it matches my phone. hee-haw.
we then went off to meet Alex and Michelle at FEP for lunch, shopped a little before fetching my bro and his folks off to Tampines to meet my parents for dinner. everyone was quite blur during the discussion. mostly having no inking what was required. but despite that, i'm glad they all got on along pretty well. dropped his mom and my bro off on our way home, caught some play time with Custard and finally had our Zee-time after doing some work-related stuff.
while Poppy was still Z-ing, i got up earlier to feed Custard and clean up her cage.
she's quite a hippity hoppity cat, and the pellets in her litter tray always gets tossed out when she jumps from the top deck. i've replaced the cardboard in her cage with her favorite old (but clean) floor mat. she loves scratching and stretching on it.
we decided to grab our brunch at Ikea then browse for some furniture and little whatnots for Custard. oh yes, he's getting a 3-feet fish tank (we're turning our house into a neighborhood pet shop) but it doesn't come with a covered cabinet, so we're looking around for sturdy ones.
anyhoos, we bought a rattan basket for Custard, just like the one she had at Mrs Wong's previously, and a separate cushy red pad to go with it. eh, she doesn't seem very keen in the basket when we place the red quilt in it (i'm not sure if the color is too striking, but hey, we didn't have any other choice of colors), so we gave her just the rattan basket for a start. when i did have the quilt in, i'd lure her with her nom noms. i haz a evil.
she totally doesn't like the kitty sushi treats i bought. BUT she loves all the various canned foods and the kibbles i feed her with. she has no qualms wolfing down the mix of Orijen, Indigo Moon, Royal Canin 32 and 33, irregardless of the combination or ratio. and yes, she has zero problems of diarrhea when i switched her feed. she's a hungry cat!
hokays, gotta go concentrate on my work.
picture updates from my new cammie soon, i hope!
