14-08-08

The day started crabby enough. I had a 38.7 degree Celcius fever the night before. I quickly drove myself to the clinic to get medication bcos I cant afford to fall sick since I will be taking half a day leave in the afternoon. Fever had gone today, just a slight headache. I've got a lot of emails to answer before I leave at 1300hr. When I hang up the phone at about 1015, I was summoned to the boardroom for an impromptu meeting. I turned to the Senior Manager (SM) and gave him this questioning look that said why/how come/tim kai? I'm scheduled for another meeting at 1100 later, I wasn't told about this one? He said that our GM had this guests from HK and wants to see what's our Quarter 1 2009 timetable look like and I need to be in there. I muttered s**t under my breath and rushed to the photocopier to get the schedule I just printed for FY09. And the photocopier got stuck! Grreat!?! Hurry up ... he said. I said I only able to print till March will that be okay? he nodded and rushed to the room. I scrambled and saw my GM sitting behind the door and signalling me to hurry up. Ohhh..I'm so not ready for whatever to come..who are these clients anyway? How come I'm not told earlier? The SM said something about Iron Chefs show and suddenly SURPPPRRISE!!! Goodness gracious, everybody was there. In my rush, I failed to notice that everyone was not at their cubicles. So they sang, I ahd to cut the cake and luckily there was only 1 candle there. I was overwhelmed, touched and embarrassed - all at the same time. The secretary said that they had to change their original plan when they found out that I'm taking half day leave in the afternoon. Well they got me! I was very surprised.

Received handmade cards from my boys. Took them 2 whole nite to finish it. Hubby took me and kids out for dinner. We had it at this restaurant called Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. As the name suggest their speciality is in shrimps but the food we enjoyed most was not their speciality lol. It was ribs something... delicious. Followed by dessert at Big Apple Donuts. mmm..heaven.

I had fun today and I'm happy to confess that I am still thirty something this year ^_^ To everybody who smsed/emailed and called to wish me (you know who you are) thank youuu.
