About The Crab Fest

As promised, here're the photos we snapped (Using a camera phone so cut me some slack on picture quality!) of the crab we had for dinner on Sunday night. *snort*

I'm not kidding when I say that the crab was bigger than my face! Just check out its size in comparison with the packet of tissues I'm holding up...


Crab roe. A whole shell-full of it. Ick.


A mere 2 hours later... The carnage we left behind... Every last scrap gone. Were we pigs or whaaaaaaaaaaat. *bealch*

About The Shoe Label

It's been quite a while since I've carried the label of "girlfriend". I'm still not too sure how well this shoe fits, but, like most members of the female species, I'm game enough to try on most types of foot apparel. (Aside to B: Hear that? You're a stiletto! *snorts with insane laughter*)

Went to have the most amazing pepper crab at Ang Mo Kio last night... I'm still reeling from the amount we ate. The bloody thing was huuuuuuuuuuge... Mofo weighed in at 1.5kg, which is DAMN BIG ok! And we ate every scrap... Urgh... No more seafood for the next 6 months. Ok. 3 months. Urgh...

Pics of my major pigout to follow...

The agency's Christmas bash is tonight... I'm off to grab a quick catnap before I start primping. Wonder which brilliant arsewipe decided to make the event "blacktie"... I'm still debating on whether that's what I should wear. A cute lil black bow tie. And nothing else. Haaaaaaaaaa!

About 525,600 Minutes

I always find myself feeling melancholic towards the end of the year. The whole "Omfg-another-12-months-down-the-tube-and-what-the-hell-have-I-achieved" thing just hits me like a ton of bricks. It sounds so cliche but time really has flown by for me this year. 1 week blends into another so quickly... I could've sworn I just celebrated my damn 27th birthday!

Fuck. *sulks*

525,600 minutes...
525,000 moments so dear...
525,600 minutes...

How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets...
In midnights, in cups of coffee...
In inches, in miles...

In laughter, in strife...
In 525,600 minutes...

How do you measure a year in the life?

How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love...
Seasons of love.


525,600 minutes...

525,000 journeys to plan...
525,600 minutes...

How can you measure the life of a woman or man?
In truths that she learned...

Or in times that he cried...
In bridges he burned...

Or the way that she died.

It's time now to sing out...
Though the story never ends, let's celebrate...

Remember a year in the life of friends.
Remember the love...
Measure in love...
Seasons of love...

About The Refresh

Oh... 1 more thing...

Something wicked this way comes...

Keep an eye on this space. :)

About Muscle Flexing

Situation:
While you're out of the office, a request comes in from your boss for you to give him a team structure org chart.

1 of your executives takes the initiative to do it up in your absence. However, instead of waiting for you to go through it, she sends it directly to your boss without telling you, copying you in on the email.

Later on, when you go through the chart she's done, you realise that she's gotten your designation wrong. Specifically? She put you at a level on par with herself, when you're actually her 1-up.

Oh... By the way, your namecards aren't ready yet but your role within the team is very clearly reflected in your email signature, together with your contact details.

Question:
What would you do? (The couple of replies that have come forth so far mostly involve a lot of muscle flexing come Monday. Sheesh.)

About Me Sometimes

Sometimes, I wonder why I do what I do...
Sometimes, I have the answers...
Sometimes, actually, most times, I don't...

Sometimes, I love without reason...
Sometimes, I hate with no reason at all...


Sometimes, I can't help but feel a little lost...
Sometimes, I'm not sure I ever was found...

Sometimes, I envy others...
Sometimes, I laugh because others envy me...

Sometimes, very rarely, I feel happy...
Sometimes, more often than not, I don't...

Sometimes, I think life is too short to be taken seriously...
Sometimes, I feel life lasts too long to be frivolous all the time...


Sometimes, I think I ask for too much...
Sometimes, I feel like I don't ask for enough...

Sometimes, I get way too involved...
Sometimes, I can't get past the numbness inside...

Sometimes, I wonder what it'd be like to be someone else...
Sometimes, all I want to be is me, the real me...

About The Next Rung

The transition to the "semi-new" job is taking place a lot faster than I expected. I must admit, I'm feeling a little apprehensive... Don't get me wrong. I'm excited... But it's laced with a growing case of the nerves.

Oh. Congratulate me by the way... The end of today (meaning Thursday, December 1) marks the end of my 1st official day as an Account Manager.

Somebody say hot damn! :)
