down and out

"u have 9 trading days left, and frankly i don't think u're going to make it"
words of obiwan to one of the trainees, left the office feelin heavy-hearted n pissed off abt my performance so far. 2 stocks on my screen have ralllied over 2 days and i didnt manage to milk it very much.
missed opportunities=money=:(

went home to pack some mail ( visited the post office to mailout every day this week) n told myself the weeekend is here and i shld just get over and done with the last bit of it.

just when i was about to cheeer up cos the weekend is official..
was on the nicoll highway when i heard an unusual scraping sound against the ground.
my heart raced and i stopped by the side to check,half praying nothing's wrong and it was just my imagination.
one flat tyre indeed.
all i could think of was fucccccccccccccccccck.it's friday and im not spared at all.
rang dan up cos i was suppose to pick him. told him abt my situation and he was sweet to take a cab down.
while waiting, i googled" how to change a flat tyre" and in within minutes knew i had a "space saver" in myboot and im suppose to jack up the car.

:)dan rang his dad up cos uncle's like really good in fixing alot of stuff and he drove all the way (paid $3 for ERP) to replace the flat with a space saver which was really small and donut-like.
after that was done, space saver was also flat and he suggested driving out to get a new tyre from a workshop and come back again to replace it for me.

we waited by the car for 45mins and uncle came back before it got dark. wouldn't have been able to do all that without him. my parents would have suggested me drivin to the nearest petrol kiosk instead. it's nice to have company when such things happen.

dan insisted to change cos he was all sweaty so we went back to his and re-set ourselves.
had dinner at durty nelly's with my colleague KK where he shared inspiring stories of being a trader and earning yummy commissions, telling me not to give up and not waste the next month to prove myself.
went to the heineken green room which was held at the F1 pit.

drool worthy heineken gals and their polaroids.
think they were high on heineken too, we had 3 takes throughout the night

sober

not really

bumped into the cousin again hahahaa n this is jason showing me his LED application
my battery went flat and we headed to butter factory just cos' i've yet to check out the new place
but KO-ed b y 244am and had to leave cos my toes were hurting from standing the entire night haahaa

next day wasn't so bad
woke up late enough for brunch with my fav aunt



went to PS Cafe at Dempseys
"hi, welcome to PS Cafe"
" table for two please"
"inside or outside?"
"inside but far away from the family please"
my prettty tea cup

french onion soup was delicious and came in a generous portion with cheese on top, it's the kind where u think u may actually get drunk on.


stacked portobello was good and we shared a caesar's salad but didnt like the tandoori chicken.

fresh flowers in the toilet made it smell so good.
the air-conditioning was down so we were feeling really hot even though the fans were next to us.
we were more than happy to get dessert elsewhere.
i settled for chocolate fudge @ jones the grocer where we also had some champagne.
couldn't resist buyin more choc fudge home along with some pretty cupcakes.

Pris baked cupcakes for ben's birthdaaay too.
ended up having dinnr with dan,pris n gina at sushi tei
came over to my place for a night of Paris and her new BFF screened on MTV and Ellen Page+SarahJessicaParker in " smart family" on DVD.
i have 2 seasons of Lipstick Jungle next to me, think i might attempt watchin it today.
don't really want Monday to come.
