late nights and overbudget meals.. 1:36 am

i so screwed my life this week.

went to work on monday feeling so refreshed and by wed, i was half dead. wednesday,i had tonnes of work to do and met jas,melwyn and edmund (year 3) for lunch at crystal jade. i was like "omg" to edmund.. expensive lunch.. but well, it served its purpose. the zha jiang mian was a good motivator for me to finish my work for the day and hit down school for BE management meeting till 12 midnight.

next day, had nothing to do. so ran some errands for the other interns. and lo and behold, work came in when 1 hour before knock off time. always happens. i managed to clear it but decided to stay back to help sarah, the german intern, to send some files to 36 associates as she needed to pack her back for her flight. wati and i had to send a 40MB file to each and every associate. tell me, how in the world can we send via email? the IT department told us there is no way to set up a website to upload the files due to compliance issue, so they told us to burn it into 55 cds per associates and send it via courier. cmon, USE SOME BRAINS.. DO I LOOK LIKE A PERSON THAT WOULD SPEND TIME BURNING 55 X 36 CDS FOR FUN?

the internet system blocked our access to yousendit.com, hence we had to find some ulu website called "transferbigfiles.com" to upload the files. every time it hits 99%, some stupid error msg will pop up. STUPID NONSENSE! wanted to upload the file on some yahoo briefcase or equivalent, but again, blocked due to security reasons. HOW IN WORLD DO U WANT ME TO SEND THE STUPID FILES BY THE END OF THE NIGHT?

gave up at 9.15pm. sent the files to my gmail account and decided to upload them to yousendit at home. felt bad cos i was supposed to meet mingxing for dinner at around 8 plus, in which during that time he was tasked to grab a birthday cake for me for my mum's colleague birthday. ridiculous request but yeah. oh well. ate dinner at around 10pm at this korean-jap bento place@ millenia walk which is quite pricey for a bento. but they have solid hot kimchi to die for... i just need kimchi and rice and i will be super happy then.

we tried to get a cab to head home but murphy's law again, NO CAB AVAILABLE. what the crap.. it was 10.45pm and no cab. so decided to walk down the road to see whether there is any cab in sight.. so many cabs......busy status. whats wrong with them?

in the end, we walked and walked and ended up at esplanade. took a bus home instead.

reach home, bathed and it was time to do the uploading of files... i fell asleep while trying to download the stuff into my harddrive. so i woke up half an hour early to do so. Finally, i had the time to buy the long-awaited $1.95 BK breakfast that i have craving for. brought it to office and everyone was like " wahlau, BK breakfast!" and i was "yah lah! only 1.95..." .. i ate with my boss sitting at the desk next to me.

I learned how to use MS Access today. was forced to learn cos i had to do some stuff with it on monday.. was intending to buy "MS Access for dummies" but i felt, no point doing so much for an internship. had nothing to do.. so again, ran some errands and had lunch at BK (AGAIN) with the interns. had nothing to do again after lunch, so.. yes.. help the other interns with their work. i found out that Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is under the Louis Vuitton Company.. OMG Iona's and my favorite white wine!

anyways, before i left work today, i fell down 4 times-thanks to my heels in which the soles were totally worn out to the metal screws. the last time, i fell in front of my colleagues and 3 executive directors. omg. MALU-ation to the max! now i have swollon bruises on my lower and upper arms and knee caps. tsk tsk.

left work together with martin (year 3) and my heels were making chipping noises thanks to the worn out soles. martin was laughing at me cos i sounded like a walking bird. bloody idiot. so we walked to city hall to get them replaced and walk to chijmes where i had another BE management meeting over drinks till 12am. its like the 2 friday in the row we were at chijmes Table 108, so we asked the manager whether we oculd have corporate discounts since they kinda know us. but instead, they are launching a lady's card thing next month which they say they would be giving to me (yah, as if they remember). so oh well, till then..

it has just been late nights and expensive dinners.
