After 9 weeks of travel...i'm finally settling down for a while in Singapore. my place is a mess...dirty clothes, dusty floor, unfolded clothes lying every where, luggage still full of my previous travel stuff etc etc etc....
Today, i'm officially part of Singapore. i got my PR today and my new ID number. it's a mixed feeling. actually i dont know why i apply for PR...i guess it is just something that everyone does when the time comes. I'm not sure if i need it but there is no harm in getting it i guess....
tomorrow is our gift exchange session.... i feel sorry for the person who got me as a gift angel...because i havent even prepared anything. while my colleagues were all busy finding out who is their gift angel, i think people sensed that i'm not even interested. haha... well, i like to receive gift and give out present too..it's just that life has been too hectic for the past 9 weeks and this is like an additional workload for me. ahaha....buying gift is easier, but my boss expects us to write a poem for the receiver....and must contain the receiver's name....and must contain what you give....and must rhyme.....sigh..now, this is additional work lo.
so funny today, after weeks of out of singapore, some of my colleagues miss me...we went out for lunch...as usual, we would have a cup of kopi or teh c at the local cafe before we come back to office. today, we had our drink at Toast Box. The space was limited and crowded, so we got ourselves a seat and asked another colleague to q for us and buy on behalf....
A colleague of mine thought it was too troublesome to tell the guy what to get for us and she decided to whatsapp him instead. with today's technology, this is really convenient. so she was typing out our order while repeating it softly with her mouth....two uncles who sat next to our table looked at her for really long time... i thought...gosh, what are these uncles doing? what are they trying to do? while all the question marks were going through my mind, many question marks went through their mind too..
suddenly one uncle couldnt hold it anymore and he asked my colleague: "eeeee? can use phone to order drinks one meh?" we looked at each other and laughed out loud and said, no la, we were just texting our friend who is q'ing there! hahah...it was really funny...
they made my day... ok, now i need to think of what to write for my poem now~
