These few days, I could not access Ernest's blog, nor anyone's blog. Mystifying, but there were no answers. This morning, I tried my luck again and voila! I can go into their blogs now!

On Sunday, I went to Causeway Point alone to get Ann's pressie. I have decided to get a couple of cook books and thought of carjoling her into making some of the nice stuff featured in the books. I did bought a couple of bilingual cook books, but becuase of the wonderful air-conditioning, I stayed longer than I am supposed to and ended up buying a new blouse costing a freaking $50 bucks. I am so ashame of myself. Why did I fall into temptation and bought the blouse which is so filmsy that I can seive flour in? It must be Ernest's fault. He isn't around to stop me. And there he was, enjoying himself in the Land of Smiles, Thailand. I want to shop at MBK......... :(

This week was wasted on gathering the Chinese New Year cards and sending them out to all our company's local customers. I learnt how to frank the envelopes and boy did I have a fun time! I franked 30cents on all of them. And then, today, I read on Streats that the Stinkapore Post is charging us 50cents on sending out local pink enveloped Chinese New Year cards. What the? You mean for a lighter shade of pink for envelope, you are charging me 20cents more? Why? You mean you have higher cost in delivering pink envelopes?? I dun get it. I dun care too. I have franked 30cents and if you guys do not want to deliver the cards, I am not going to fret over it. It just make me sick how these 'government' agencies go about making money from us locals.

Dot is coming back from Melbourne soon and I can't wait to see her. She promises me loads of gossip. She said she suffered hell there and I haven't the faintest idea how can you suffer in the city full of wondrous sights and shopping.

Have to go! Have to go! Boss is walking towards my desk now. See ya.
