THE PAST WEEK

It had been a tremendously good week except for some bad, upsetting, disappointing stress at the end of the week.

Anyway, pictures from the past week.

Uncle's wedding on Sunday
Yes, it was an expectedly more grand event than the engagement party last year.

SO GIRLISH, QUITE DISGUSTING

When my best friend and I hang out, I transform into such a girlish person I believe Naz will be disgusted to know.

Months back, we were actually envious of a random clubber's nice cleavage and we then proceed to buy ourselves a push up bra. This is with the fact that we already have ample assets. I still do not have the courage to wear that bra.

Yesterday Farena made her first step to join our vain-ness. We were suddenly fascinated with fake lashes and extensions and we proceed to get our virgin pair of falsies. We then did the most unglam and embarrasing thing last night- forcing them onto Joanne's poor eyes on some random stone chairs.

With what could possibly bond us, we need to do something about our fitness so we made an excellent decision - reapply for an Amore package. Hopefully in two weeks' time, we'll start on our awesome plan of weekly Wednesday gym/ steambath/ bitching session and then! Lug our tired asses (and big gym bag) down for some partying.

Farena dear, welcome to the club.

MY GREATEST DILEMMA

I can't believe I'm actually considering something I would never have just one year earlier. Something everyone is discouraging me against.

Sometimes I wish my ego hasn't diminished this much.
Sometimes I wish I don't like him this much.

I think I'm half hoping for failure in this oh-so-far 6th round, like how I was for the 5th round.

LUCKY, BUT STILL NEED MORE

Yesterday, Joanne and I planned to meet in a particular bus 24. The plan: she was to take a bus from her place and I will take the same bus from a further bus stop.

I reached my stop and still haven't received any message about the bus number plate from her so I called her: "What's the bus number?"
She, being her usual self: "24."
Me, rolling my eyes: "Of cos la! Plate number."
She: "Oh. XX9X." (X = can't hear)
Me: "Huh?"
She: "X9XX."
Me, giving up: "Ok. 2912 ah?"
She, finally loud & clear, & laughing: "3894* la! So different!" (*The number is not accurate, I can't remember already)

So, when I got onto the bus, despite my repeated explanation that she was soft and unclear, Joanne was still laughing in amusement and exclaimed that she must buy 4D for 2912.

This evening, I received a sms: Sharon Wong! 2912 starters today! Should have bought!

She was LAZY to get out to buy this morning, even though she thought of it when she woke up. Sister, you should have remembered lady luck has been with us all week lor!

Bloody hell. 500 bucks. I could have demanded a treat or a new shoe or bag! Wah, damn damn sian.

THE SERIES OF EVENTS

I've, technically speaking, graduated.

My supervisor at CAAS says Jimmy and I have been good & staying back a lot for the Asian Aerospace 2006 and gave us Friday off. God showered his blessings and I had to get a half day leave on Thursday, so 12 noon on Thurday marked my graduation.

It was so heartwarming to receive the farewell gift from the 12-weeks-old colleagues, and very depressing to leave the office. Just like that, the good good internship placement with eye-opening experiences was over.

Despite some bad bad dilemma, God has been so so so good this week. Let's pray our good (unexpected) fortune continues. Hor, sisters?
