Thankfully it turned out pretty alright for a first meeting. We had buffet lunch at Noble House and were joined by Meimei's sister and my brother actually managed to make it. He just flew back to Singapore the night before. So lunch went pretty well and my heart finally stopped jumping when we drove off. Phew . . . imagine the horror if they got into a "discussion" . . . Anyways my fears were for nothing. I found out later that mum had warned dad harshly not to "anyhow say things". Thanks Mum! *kissSaturday, October 31, 2009
1 Year Wiser
I'm a year older, or in someone's words one year wiser. This year is abit more special, though not that there was a big big bash or anything. But my mum used this opportunity to invite Meimei's parents to meet up for a meal on the pretext of celebrating my birthday. Heheh. This actually had me worried for awhile as I wasn't sure they would be cordial with each other, let alone cozy up to one another. Well, truth be told, I wasn't worried about Meimei's parents as much as I was worried about mine, and specifically my dad.

Oh and Meimei got me presents!! I had to pick and choose but I was greedy and got all of them hehehehe. They are all my favourite pastime stuff. 2 seasons of The Big Bang Theory and Mitch Albom's latest book "Have a Little Faith". Thanks Meimei, I had a wonderful bday. Really . . . *kiss!

Early Party
My team was very nice to conjure up a 'surprise' celebration. Well, they made sure I was free today weeks in advance. And well, I did drop a few subtle *wink wink* hints that I love a particular strawberry shortcake from a certain eatery called Bakerzin. Hehehe.
So wah lah! they got me a cake, and had it delivered during office hours.
The funny thing was the reception called me to collect a parcel haha. So I went to collect my own birthday cake. I must say they did keep a good straight face when I came back with it. They must have been stunned to see that I collected my own cake. Hahahahah.
While anyways, we gathered in the pantry and everyone sang a loud birthday song. I actually forgot to whip out my camera during the celebration. So the only picutre I have is that of the congratulatory message on the cake. "Happy Birthday to SunShine Boy!" Yeah! that's me baby!! Muhahahahahha

Live From HP's Office
This is Pokpok, live from HP's office.
Still in office attire and braving the minor pespiration from the lack of aircon, I am fearlessly bringing you this news report straight from Meimei's office. Chest high partitions in light brown colour, light emitting a yellowish glow, squarish booths. This is surely a scene right out of an office in an 80's movie! You'll see paper stacked over the place in each cubicle. Computer and monitors holding years of dust. It just sucks you in and in no time you'll be feverishly working on your lappy with no concern of your surroundings. Well, pretty much what I'm doing now. Heheh. It's 10.40pm right now but I'll be here for another hour or so as Meimei still can't leave for home. So stay tuned for more Pokpok live updates!

A New Toy!
I have a new toy! It's a hand-me-down from Meimei but all so good cos I can try my hand at it and see if I really like what it does. Hopefully this is not a 5 minute thing and I can continue playing with it with fest. I'm sure it'll work out once I start using it and brightening up this dull space with more colours and shine.
Please give a warm welcome to Canon Powershot A520! *Clap clap clap Hehehehe

My Professionalism
I've finally received a piece of paper that signifies my professionalism and integrity. Hahaha *sigh . . . a piece of paper.
Well this is how the world is build on. Doesn't matter how good you are, doesn't matter how hard working you are, doesn't matter how honourable you are. At the end of the day, a piece of paper says whether you are what you are . . . or in some people's case, says you are even when you are not.
Oh well, can't change the world so I'll go with the flow. Hehe. Anyways I am now known as Pokpok, ACCA. Hehehe I like the initials at the back. So commanding and studious like a doctor.
Yours Truly
Pokpok, ACCA.
P.S. By the way, to frame up my professionalism cost 90 bucks . . . Ouch!
