Where did time go?

Another week just flew passed. Really felt that I've not been having enough time lately. I used to think that I couldn't manage a office based job, always loved the sales job when most of my time were spent out, won't be bored staying at office, trying to kill time, waiting to go back. I now have a really different perception towards full time office based job - if you get one that's busy enough, time flies and it can be as enjoyable. In fact, I have been lately wishing that there are more hours in a day. I just didn't have enough time, like this week for instance, I've only manage to go to one pump class... it's always all plans but fail in action. Yesterday was so typical, I had everything nicely planned, work done, only need to finalize a few very minor, can't possibly take a lot of time items to discuss with my boss before I head to gym, then suddenly everyone wanted to see my boss too, and there was a little drama which didn't help with me sticking with my gym plans...

One of my new colleagues (one week with the company) broke into tears while talking to my boss about her earlier episode - she presented to the management and got some major "told off" by the big boss... I'm not sure if that's the case, my big boss is just loud and direct, but not unreasonable, and my first presentation was a disaster too! The whole thing was just unacceptable... but we will get round it, just need to do better and learn to gauge the standards and requirement right? But really, it was (is) really tough, very stressful. However, this is nothing like what I had to go through with my ex boss whom I always refer to as "The Devil" - she was really bad, very unreasonable, liked to pick on me, had a very irritating voice, and worse of all, she didn't know what she was talking about most of the time and that would most probably be because she didn't know her job, at all. Now, my current boss, he can well give all the remarks he likes however way he wants because he can afford to do so - he knows the company really well. Nevertheless, I think it's going to be really worth while at the end of the day... I shouldn't think one should get that upset with his remarks...

sms from auntie: Can I order 35 cupcakes form you ah? Need before sun.

Ok, I was originally not in favour of baking 2 chocolate cakes, now it's confirm that there's no way I'm gonna be baking 2 choc cakes and 35 cupcakes...

... the next sms reads: Actually I want 40, 5 wt lots of raisins and icing, the rest plain.

So, no way I'm gonna be baking 2 choc cakes and 40 cupcakes - 42 because mum wanted 2 to give to a neighbour. And since I'm in need to "sweetened" up the atmosphere in the office, I would need to bring in the chocolate moments... and since the other half of the cake has been booked by sms buddy - food tasters, I'm so sorry, next round k...

Went to gym today soon after I was out from bed... found myself yawning all time at gym when I did my free weights. I was also sniffing and achoo-ing towards the end when I did my 20 minutes stepper (the weather has been really bad lately and I forgot to take my Clarinase before going to gym). Anyways, the stepper said I did some 90 over floors at the end of my 20 minutes... hmmm... sounds ridiculous, how did the machine tabulate that info I wonder...

Had tea with my girlfriend at Secret Recipe near Sungai Long (convenient, not crowded, no need to go to town)... loads of gossips but we were heavily interrupted by her little boy, who wanted to go home soon after we ordered. His daddy had to come fetch him while my girlfriend and me continue with some "light" shopping around the area. Oh, thanks for the treat girlfriend!

Not sure what is this flower called in English... it will blossom only once and always at night. Not sure how it know the time, but the flower will blossom slowly late night and fully blossomed at midnight. It has really great smell and they said each of these flowers has a flower fairy inside... if we make a wish, they will help us make our wish come true... just like the fairy tales.
