Hello, Gorgeous

I was browsing my old FB status updates, and came across this one:

So I've actually been mooning over the LX3 for slightly over a year, before I finally got it! That's probably the longest I've ever mulled over something, being the impulse buyer that I am. My sister would be proud (in a horrified way, I suppose).

Ah, such a thing of beauty :))))

Highlights from The Week That Wasn't

I love that the people I work with can be as insane as I am :) (Okay fine, it was really late when these were taken)

Lil & Grace display formal, disembodied hands

in true Bridezilla style...

... while XY and I prefer something a little more reflective

of our youthfulness (Bonus: see sneakers!)

Grace enthusiastically poses a question during

my sham of a press conference

While the real reception people are gone for the day,

three friendly imposters stage a takeover!

We are really friendly and helpful!... See, here's a stapler

and some other unidentifiable objects in our hands... JUST FOR YOU!

The daily grind - day 2

(There is no day 1, in case you're wondering.)

The IMC is freezing cold, the blazer is scary-mafia formal, and standing/walking in heels all day is killer. The requests range from straightforward to ludicrous, the hours are bordering on crazy, and I just scared myself in the mirror with my eyebags just now.

And yet I'm having fun. Sort of. Good learning place, fun people to hang out with, and being on the ground. Maybe that's my ideal work place?

Oh, and also bumped into hellobaos and cheow staking out near a meeting venue, waiting to pounce on some unsuspecting interviewee lolol. I miss being in the media :(

Anyway, check out the free-flow Tiger Beer (which I didn't drink)!

And a group shot of a small handful of the event's drivers:

Day 2 is over, 6 more days to go! In the meantime, let me catch up on my TV eps while I soak my withered feet in some soothing bath-salted warm water and hug my Mr Bump plushie.

Mmmm bliss.

In case you haven't heard, Baby Bear won top honors at the baby show at his community centre. Teehee. Pictures are on Facebook, so ... too bad, GG and MB you have to join FB to see.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

K lah, don't say I mean. Here's the link --> here :P

I am a Quarter-Centenarian

Yes, this is the obligatory birthday post. And I guess this ought to be some sort of Quarter-Centenarian Gala blog post. So if this is a Gala post, there must be ... err... awards to be given out!

Award for Worst Segue Ever - Winner: Undisputedly, me.

Award for Earliest Wishers of Birthday - Winner: NTU Ppl Plus Two

(since Apec 2009 is just round the corner, I thought an 'Asean Plus Three'-esque nomenclature would be rather fitting).

Thanks @greyskies @gadgetygirl @Optimarcus @meatybar @stealthpea & Jack the Ripper (and absent @estherfung) for the lovely cake that I forced everyone to finish.

Award for Earliest Gift - Winner: @gadgetygirl

Thanks @gadgetygirl, who so kindly sponsored one of my new bike's tires. Without her thoughtful gift, I doubt I would have managed to move very far on one bike tire.

Award for Most Unexpected Celebration - Winner: Office ppl

Despite the fact that I heard The Boss asking a colleague whether he had matches or a lighter (and neither of them smoke), the alarm bells did not go off. I swear I thought she wanted to light some aromatherapy incense thing. Thanks to these people, I now have a pair of Pointer shoes, very very awesome. (Luckily Lil knew my shoe size because I had earlier remarked that her feet were wayyyy tiny for someone her height.)

Thanks also to the rest of you (you know who you are!) who sent your wishes, who asked me 'WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY SO I DON'T HAVE TO GUESS OR GET YOU SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT.' Your kind thoughts are much appreciated.

So... a year older, hopefully a year wiser. I spent most of my day answering media queries and scrambling for info. Nonetheless, it was a good day - I found my thumbdrive the night before, and I slept a full 12 hours on Friday night. (As you can tell, these days, my criteria are much lower than they used to be).

And we move on to ... Pictures! (told u i was the undisputed winner of the first award)
