It was such a cheapo day yesterday.
First of all, the teachers went to celebrate their promotions [what better way than to give a treat?] at Siam Kitchen at Suntec City.
And everybody was invited including me!
So I got another free buffet at this Thai restaurant where the food was so sweet and spicy which suited me very well.
Pity I didn’t have the appetite to eat too much and the teacher who just told me I was pretty sitting opposite me didn’t make it very convenient for me to gorge food.
It was a half day of work but a full day’s pay!
If only work were like this more often..
Do you know that I love watching movies.?
I like horrifying creepy ones that scare people out of their skins while being realistic at the same time.
A great one will allow your imagination to run amok but the context will not go so far as to let you think that it will never happen to you.
I went to Wei wei's house to borrow like 50 DVDs to watch.
It is not as if she will ever charge me for borrowing nonetheless I felt quite cheapo for being able to watch all those movies for free.
Made me quite happy la.
Can't wait to watch the gross movies.
I wonder who likes the same kind of movies like I do.
Saw, Hannibal, The Exorcist, Butterfly Effect, Apocalypse, The Hills Have Eyes these kinds.
Anyone ?
Of course American Pie is my all-time favorite too.
I've a weak spot for gruesome, eat-your-own-brain or saw-your-leg-off movies.
I like Spiderman 3 too.
As in Pirates of the Caribbean, it was so exciting that I almost fell asleep.
Good thing sg woke me up.
"You're even more incredible than Spiderman. Can fall asleep when the movie is playing halfway."
Haha I think sg is super funny.
He paid for my ticket first and allowed me to return him the money when I have more than $2 in my bank.
Whee
Never mind my falling asleep, it was a good movie.
The most exciting part was when Spiderman was in serious trouble fighting the Sandman and the other black suited mutant and suddenly it was as if he got possessed.
He drew a wand from his spandex red suit and started hexing his enemies, 'Levicorpus! Sectumsempra!' and he won the fight.
He looked uncanningly like Harry Potter when he started doing that.

Have I already mentioned how much food we get to eat in the General Office?
For every festival, one-month-birth, every meeting, birthday etc etc all the food is left in the General Office for gluttonous clerks like myself.
I think we had the worst case of excess food during the Chinese New Year period.
Everyone brought their leftover prawn crackers, cookies and more fatty food into the office!
Occasionally we'll get pizza hut, KFC and MacDonalds delivery.. Birthday cakes sometimes..
Fantasizing about it makes my stomach grumble a little but the problem can be solved as there is a large stock of crackers just behind my desk.
I'll miss this school and the free food.
If you worked here, and you were really lucky that it happens to be Secretary Week, and during the week that you happen to work only 3 days, if the Principal chooses to give a treat on one of the three days that you are reporting for work, then you tan dio.
Can someone tell me what is tan dio in English?
It means for someone to be in a fortuitous situation that you get something you don't necessarily deserve and after getting it you can't stop congratulating yourself, Wah I really very heng!
Thats the gist.
I just taught you one Hokkien word.
The correct way to say it is to paste a wide grin on your face while raising your eyebrows at each syllable.
Of course I was quite uncertain whether I'm included to go to Equinox because I'm a temporary staff and not a Secretary.
Besides, who is going to watch the office when we're all gone during school dismissal time?
I was getting more disappointed by the hour as nobody told me to get ready to leave but you know what.. being the Principal's appointed daughter-in-law has its own perks.
Muahahaaaa.
Fine dining on the 70th floor of the Swissotel at Stamford with the view overseeing the whole of the city area.
This is THE Life according to Vivian.
There was so muchhhh foooodddd I became dizzy with choices.
Which should I eat first?
The goose liver or the sushi.?
Wait.. I see glistening roasted lamb and beef and cod fish with cream.
Food excites me especially when its served on big platters and even my 5-inch radius plate can't seem to accomodate food I'm piling on it.
Even though I couldn't resist going for seconds, thirds and fourths I was sure to maintain decorum so as to not shock my colleagues.
Never will mediocre, served on less-than-70th-floor food look the same to me anymore.
*Burp*
