Work and Play

My reports are never-ending and I won't have peace until the semester ends. I have 3 reports due in a week and 2 are on the same day. How unfair is this? They really need to space out the deadlines. If I get another assignment on Monday, that will leave me with 4 reports due. I should really be panicking about my work but strangely, I'm not. It's frustruting that I want to sit down to down my work but I can't because I don't know how to and where to start. The marketing report is the worst. How can they expect me to do a marketing report when I have no knowledge of business and they only gave us 1 lecture on this? I wish I had someone to help me but it seems that either my business friends have not learnt about this or they have returned all the knowledge to their lecturers. So much for the stupid NS; it has brainwashed my friends and all they remember now are army stuff.

I should have stayed home like a good girl and worked on my reports all day but I went out. Yup, I already made a date a week ago to go to Chinatown with Mil and Steph. I don't regret going. We had so much fun. Of course, I kind of splurged a little today after not being able to buy nice things for myself for so long. We had lunch at a Korean place and the food was good. I couldn't finish my raw beef rice but the kimchi and Steph's pork was nice. Then we headed to Big W where I bought shampoo and conditioner (again!) and then bought a pair of sunglasses! Steph saw this shop which was having a sale. 2 pairs for $20 so we got 1 pair each. Well, Steph had lost her sunglasses recently so she wanted a new pair to replace the missing one and I decided to get 1 for myself. My 1st pair of sunglasses and they are BLUE!!!

We finally made our way to Chinatown and met Crystal who was going there too. Hmm...we bought our groceries at Yuen's, although it's very annoying that they don't have stock for so many things. It's irritating when you want to get something but it isn't there. They have not had the black pepper sauce for at least 2 months now and I was also looking for the canned pork ribs and almond jelly powder. Everything also don't have!!! At least I bought lots of meat to stock up for the coming month. Then Steph brought us to this mall where they sold cheap fruits and veggies. I always passed by that place but never bothered to explore the inside. If not for wanting to come back early and carrying so many heavy things, I might have wanted to shop around a little more. Anyway I bought the wall hooks for my room (to hang my keys just beside the door so that I won't forget to bring them out anymore) and Steph bought a pretty pink and purple box for *ahem*.

We caught the bus back to the city and decided to stop by the Taiwan food shop for some bubble tea. Mil and Steph hadn't been there so I brought them down the ulu alley and we enjoyed our bubble tea. It was a little pricey but the pearls were nice and we sat there chewing like cows and chatting.

Once we were back home, we stored away our food and Mil came up to give Steph a neck and shoulder massage. We ended up sitting in the living room and chatting for like 2 hours. Hahaha...it's nice to find friends where you can talk about everything. We don't have to hide anything and the conversation is extremely varied. Digression is the factor for our long chats. It's also nice to hear different opinions and interesting stories about each other. At least I know that there are others who do stupid things as well and have weird parents (weird to us, that is).

It's time to get back to my work but I wanna catch the finals of the US Open later at 2 am. I haven't been keeping track of this championship. I wonder who made it to the finals...guess I'll know in a few more minutes.

My new sunglasses!!!
