Its Friday and its half day. Chinese New Year Eve. Supposed to be a relaxing day. But the moment I stepped into the office I knew the same things that happened the past week will happen again. Nor and our CPs were still making last minute changes to the programs. Shekar informed me that he made yet another change to the properties file. 5th revision. Kok Ching and Bessie need to be involved. So I ran back and forth trying to get things done before 1pm. Shih Wee, Andrew and KK came over to VV's w/s and we took some photos. Leong and Ai Boon were going around shaking hands with everybody.
Before I know it, it was already 1pm. Its Friday. I have to be somewhere every Friday... oh the Mosque! Man I was too busy and it didnt feel like a Friday, it felt like a Saturday. Nor and Dilip just entered the Server Room so I told Shekar that I had to go off for a while. Mervin then called and said he's meeting Peter for tea at 2pm at Kembangan. I was late for mosque anyway, but I really didnt want to leave Nor and the CPs behind. So I drove out, made a turn at Toa Payoh Central and drove back into the car park. I must be mad. I went to the Gourmet Paradise to look for food but it was closed, so I went up to the 1st floor. BreadTalk was also closed. Went to 7-11 and bought one of those Chicken Rolls and went up to the office again. Shekar was still there, he borrowed my staff pass to go downstairs and have lunch. Nor and Dilip still holed up in the server room. I looked for VV but he wasnt around, he's supposed to shift over to OAS today. I smsed him and he replied "Coming up with KK and CT now after lunch". Okay. Michelin man still around. I guess with Princess back in Kajangvale (hmm why didnt he follow her?) he's free enough to help. I decided then to leave everybody behind, fuck it, and meet Mervin and Peter for tea.
It was a good conversation, mostly talked about MLMs and Land Banking. Seems like Peter was approached by Wharton (is that how you spell it?) too and he thinks that Land Banking at Canada is a big scam. Just last night VV ICQed me and said he thinks that it is a scam and that CT and Lily only tell him how much to pay and that there are no statements at all. Weird man, I wish him all the best with his Bel'Air thing.
Left Kembangan at went to the gym. Saw Mark Chan in the locker room talking to some Chinese guy. He talks and acts so GAY, even Dick Lee will look straight beside him. Goodness. I went for the 530pm BodyPump class with Toni then ran for 5km. It was still raining heavily when I came out of the gym at almost 8pm. Made arrangements with Mervin then drove to his house to pick him up, and then picked Audrey up from her place. We somehow ended up at Changi Airport's Coffee Club Express. Took some pics. Mervin and Audrey talked mostly about whats happening in their office so I just pretended to know what's going on. We made fun at one of the staff there, this guy in specs who is running around doing most of the things himself. I think he's the floor manager or something cos he was wearing a tie. whooaaaa. He's SNAPPY. Hahahahha. Mervin thinks he's gay. But to him, the whole world is.
Peter called and we arranged to meet him and his 7- (or 9?) year old niece Ivan at Tampines 201D Coffeeshop at 1145pm. Mervin really entertained Ivan with his Playstation nonsense. All the while when we were sitting there, a lot of sleazy characters were doing their own business. An old prostitute was arguing very loudly about some sort of fees or something. Lots of drunks guzzling down bottles and bottles of beer. At one table we saw stacks of money being passed around from a pimp to some prostitutes hanging around him. I sent Audrey home after that. I think I'm going to see more of her in the future.
