Enjoyment despite Work

a.

Really tired. Havent felt this way for a long long time.. Always feeling sleep is never enough. Always feeling lethargic. Always using up the brain juices. Always feeling time is too short.

Yes, I started working this Monday. Terror. I didnt know working can be this tough and tiring.

Monday was basically orientation. So many faces I have to put to names and that is provided I remember the names. My bosses have been nice. Remembering the car models of three different brands is a little tough, whatsmore I have to know each and every of their competitors.

But it is a console, after work, went Timbre to meet Eric and Halbert. Babe last minute had to withdraw. A night of different stories to share. And I only reached home at 1am+!

Tuesday waking at 6.30am is VERY tough. Yawned non stop all the way to work. I couldnt concentrate at work due to lack of sleep! Ha! Which was pretty much serves me right!

After work, it rained. I walked in rain while everyone else on the streets watched me. I had no choice, rushing for my Tuesday class. That pretty much sums up my Tuesday.

Wednesday was slightly better. At work, realised Facebook is blocked by company. Ouch! Reality of corporate society. Was bored enough by the fact I cant surf the websites I want then I had to lunch alone. Agony. Walked the entire AnchorPoint. Bought 2 breads. I suddenly thought of Beng while walking alone in the mall. Strange.

Finally a day straight to home after work. Slept really well that night.

Thursday at work was just me busy-ing with my 19th Sept event. Coordination of logistics. Tiring. But lunch was very satisfying! Ate at Vivo with JN. Great breakaway from the office. Heh^^

Night time, Eric came and send me to Asian Diver Party held at HardRockCafe. Wasnt very impresssed with the layout though. In fact, pretty bad programs as compared to its previous parties.

Me and Corine::Me and Eric::Another late night.

Friday, waking up is as usual, pretty tough. This could be my worst day of my 5 new working days. And my most fun day. Contrast.

I drove the Peugeot 1007! I havent been driving for 1year plus! From office to Tuas and back to office. Journey is awesome. Here goes..

Had to test drive as a passenger around my office for 15minutes with the Peugeot Sales AM-Julian. When he left the car, it was my turn... I got lost in my office carpark. Circled around B2 numerous times before I found the Exit to B1. Did illegal reverse driving in B1 because I got lost again. I just wasted 15minutes. I took it as test drive and/or refreshing driving.

First destination, Jalan Buroh. I ended up at Jurong Island. Boo. Dad and I 'fought' on the phone MANY times. Over route directions. Ha. Upon reaching the factory, cool, parallel parking lar! What to do? Die also have to park before I can get down and go into the office. Luckily my driving instincts kicked in, I managed to park swee swee.

Second destination, Benoi Road. Didnt horlan because was on the phone with dad. Parking was much simpler. Big open space with no cars. Then again, maybe that's not the car park. Ha. Who cares? I was desperate to complete my first mission given by my male boss!

Last destination, Tuas Avenue. Again, didnt horlan because my driving just got much better. And of course, because dad was on phone giving directions. Parking was cool, I blocked everyone elses' cars just outside their workshop. Best is, the receptionist had to give me directions back to AYE from their office. Ha. How embarrassing.

I got horned! BEEEEEE! @#$#@%$&^%*&^* Was using phone sms while driving up a mild slope. Peugeot has such a different technology that I didnt get used to so... I rolled back instead of moving forward which I didnt realised. The car behind horn furiously. Haha. Then I looked up my rear mirror, and it awakened me, "This is Peugeot, not any other brands!" Then I flashed back memory, I was 'warned' by Julian the difference of Peugeot. Oops.

Remarkable experience. Driving again ever since I last drove in 2006. The things about Peugeot 1007 are such that, its brakes were too sensitive for me especially when driving with heels, the pick up was amazingly slower than I thought that I felt pretty embarrassed at traffic lights, the transmission is sooo different and you aint going get used to it especially you drove other cars before, but! Its sliding doors are cool.

After that, traumatised me went to ParkRoyalHotel for Jerric's wedding. It is really kind of Fred and Corine to wait for me to go together. REally. I believed Jerric will take care of his wife well, because I think the entire dinner was planned by he himself! Cool. Brian and a few of us went up to their room to play pranks right after their 2nd march-in. We had fun.

But the pranks werent as well received as what we had planned or expected. Oh well..

Then after dinner, we headed downstairs Club5, the 50s. HAHA. Eye opener. Didnt stay long though. But I definitely appreciate Brian's hospitality.

Me and Fred::Me and the Groom Jerric::
Eve, Peter, Kym::

Some of the men::Wine again??::Why I laughed, I cant remember::The Ladies::Emcee for the night and Me::We asked Jerric to join us in Photowhoring!::The happy people::Ok, going to run some errands for myself! Ciaoz
