We were contemplating where to have dinner and with our first choice (Sushi Tei) and second choice (Marche) with long queues, i thought of Brotzeit since i've never been there before and Jon was keen to try it. Seriously, he has a more or at least an equivalent level of pickiness when it comes to taste paletes but then again he argued that he's leaving in a week's time and i should just give in. Say until like that, what else can i say?
But as we were heading down, The Queen and Mangosteen dawned upon me and since i have been wanting to try, Brotzeit didn't stand a chance. Thankfully, we were there somewhat earlier before 7 and we got a proper seat alfresco. Despite ordering only nibbles (not mains), it was still too much for the two of us.
From top to bottom: Samui Beer Battered Onion Rings with Thai Chilli Sauce, Mixed Seafood Deli Board, Fish & Chips with Curry Tartare Sauce
Since i've got a $10 voucher having paid by DBS card, i'm gonna drag the colleague back again for the mini burgers, chix wings and mashed potato next =p

Why does Okto have to schedule cooking shows at night? Even coconut (something which i usually avoid) bread looks appearing and have me drooling some, which is not exactly a good idea considering that it is late at night after all.
Maybe i should just go find a cute chef and propose marriage instead.
[ETA]: Removing ham skin is quite a disgusting scene.

SO.Easy is not as it should be. Complications arose and my Lotus Notes are being migrated as this is being typed out now (at home).
Without MSN, i gotta get back (and used) to using ebuddy and other internet based programme supporting the IM. In addition, i need to get acquainted and used to the Windows Vista interface and the new MS Office software. Yes i know i would have long gotten used to it had i installed it inside scruffy but i witheld it and am so a laggard now at that. Then again, Windows 7 is out so Vista isn't any advanced either but at least we are up-to-date now and on par with most of the gahmen organisations.
Tomorrow's the first day i'm getting hands-on to the new OS so wish me luck that i get used to it just fine and quickly, since i didn't manage to attend any of the briefing sessions for it.

Who was i kidding when i told (and convinced) myself that getting myself back to work today would be relatively easier if and after i got back in last Friday (to clear my emails and get the easier tasks done on a boss-less day).
And then i have to drag myself in tomorrow coz i haven't got my desk packed for the SOEasy migration that is due after 6pm. Thank heavens it's a short week this week, really.

With Placebo's cover of Running Up That Hill playing in the background, i contemplated about life and those around me in general, and came to the conclusion that we are all dysfunctional in our own ways.

| From T3 |

I am like so totally wiped out from the massive work jam and now super stoned from the restless sleep from 2 to 6 this morning. Coupled with the bad news that a relative from my ma's side passed on (even though i'm not closed to them at all), i'm amazed at how I managed to conjure us energy to T3. But well I know I needed this break real bad so i'll definitely cherish it. And A380 is surely a perk to pick me up aye?
