This morning I discovered I had the ability to whisper. It felt nothing like my usual yelling. The board pushed the internal meeting forward and Ash said I had to speak up. I wanted to jump off the building (we're at 19th floor) but I didn't wanna die hungry so I turned red and did a six-second mime. Paperwork is piling. Spent two hours doing accounting- one and a half resolving not to be pigeonholed when I have a career, and the rest of the time getting it done. Spent lunch at my recent fave hangout, the smokers' area. Ironic stuff. I freeze under 18 degrees so I find warmth there. Weekend was surprisingly eventful after a difficult and bittersweet Friday. There was ChallengeShield, where we were victor(ia)s, chicas! No reserve players, no training, no supporters (Aisyah: "oh noooo, everybody here dislikes us!" hahahahaha). All the nonsensical champion talks before the games, they don't seem crappy anymore. :) Fun times.
The green gang had a barbeque at Marina's. Awesome stingray and squids. Hilarious jokes. Stupid dares. I finally understood why we were the 16 Kris chose out of 80.
Of course, in this picture, are the more happening ones. Hahh. The people I was closer to were present (except Sofi who was busy detaching herself before she heads for Spain!!!). The night ended too soon.
Indian poker, only dumber considering the card size.
The dares
My favourite!
=)
Spent half of Sunday sleeping and then sheesha passive-smoking with Clare, Hidz and Syafiq (Tekong-bound). I am guaranteed a lifetime of NS stories WOO. Knocking off for dinner with Art, Farid and Dan. Never happened in history, but I can only guess.
How can I promise you forever when tomorrow is so far away from me?

The new job has been everything (half before)nine-to-fve is hyped-up to be. Pays well, but how much adventure can one have in a cubicle, right? Sure, it's not as fun as the previous one in transit. I don't get to talk for hours with the ladies in green blazers at the counter, get Starbucks treats from the store behind, fake any accent, and joke with people from all over the world! Here, I learn something new everyday. Suddenly the things I read about Japanese working environment make sense. I grow balls because I don't get excused for being technologically-dumb, domestically-challenged, and unbelievably lacking in manners. I wired up conference equipment, made green tea (it's culture yo), laugh much less crazily. Achieved something I thought I'd never in my entire lifetime too. Punctuality. Much less glitz than the internship at Convention Centre, but am loving it all the same for I get to wear my favourite dresses to work and dictate what goes into the fridge. Couldn't be more grateful for yesterday. Dollfin gave me all the hugs and love I needed. No will can break when it faces her. He is the luckiest man alive right now. We took lots of photos with our imagination, came up with the best pick-up lines and jumped into a water feature because it was asking for it. I live for days like this.=)
Am digging this unplanned school break. Training doesn't even dominate my life anymore. Need to make the best and most awesome out of the remaining month before I start doing something unlikely, like the write-up I submitted for GYS two hours before deadline when the e-mail was circulated months ago. So, Nani and I got our places in the Symposium!!! Accommodation won't be necessary. Don’t know how I’m gonna explain to them that I actually wouldn't die for the environment (unless it kills me first) and am all for capitalism, but I'll worry when we get there. Besides, I’m ready to stand corrected (also: shop, damage things, eat, express fabulous ideas with Nani). KL won't know what hit it, unless the things we did in our younger years get revealed. Like
You know it's the bomb diggy diggy when we get jiggy

You know it's the bomb diggy diggy bomb bomb diggy

Not what you think. The Bomb Diggy is among us. Rolling.
Lunchtime now! Imma take my place by the window sill and daydream to the breathtaking seaview.
