Deepavali

Let me tell the whole world something: I'm drunk again! I just came back from the company's Deepavali feast-cum-celebration and spent a very long and fun 2 hours drinking red wine with the lovely ladies from Corporate Services. That includes the office administration, finance and HR. A little edgy that I'm the only eligible male bachelor amongst the 4 of them, but it was fun nevertheless. It allowed me to see another part of the company which I have never seen before, partially due to the woefully small size of the Communications department. My boss didn't join in, and I hope my participation tonight does not raise any alarms on her.

Anyway onto the real meat. This week was pretty lovely! On Monday, YK and I had our usual lunch at Golden Shoe and came across this Streettracks roadshow regarding the gold stock exchange in Singapore. They had a competition where men and women compete amongst themselves to see who is the person who can hold that 1/8 of an ounce of gold bar the longest. The ladies could clasp their arms to the sides of their bodies like a hen for support; the guys had to hold it with arms outstretched perpenticular to the ground! Tough!


They also had this immobile human mannequin on display, and I can't help bu wonder if the gold bar they are holding is real as it will be awfully heavy!

They also gave out pens that are plated in gold colour which YK and I happily took one each. We also joined another queue for 2 tissue packs, so kiasu! It was really my idea and not his, oh well!

That was Monday. On Tuesdaywe saw this tent in the middle area again, and according to YK it's Yong Mei. Well I'm not sure and I dont really bother 'cos I'm not a fan but nevertheless they're here for propensity's sake.

Finally, today we celebrated Deepavali! It was, according to HR an indian colleague, north indian food and it was heavy stuff like rice and noodles instead of finger food which would have made an excellent tea spread.

I was a little high from a can of Heineken beer (gosh, so lousy!). I became courageous and whipped out my phone to snap some pictures. Here is me with JM, my friend who introduced me in to the company and subsequently my present position.

That's me and JL from Corporate Services. Funky girl this one.

Ah and that's me and MDL, the CEO PA.

I'm quite drunk so I'll stop here. Looking forward to a lovely weekend!
