Remember my last entry when I said that if I got through the week last week, I would be fine for the rest of the year? Well, I'm taking it back and rephrasing it to ...If I get through this week, then I'll be fine for the rest of the year.

Last week was such a crazy week. (Hence the lack of blog entry) I spent 4 days out of 5 away from the office. There was the MOE WorkPlan Seminar (1 full day), the Division Work Plan Seminar (2 full days), the branch meeting, a committee meeting.On top of all of that, I had to rush through a paper (this paper made me wake up at 445am on Thursday morning, to make sure it was given to my Supt on time) and get started on my MC script for a meeting. So for once in a long, long, long time, I had to bring back work. I abhor, detest, hate, despise bringing back work. Maybe I'm anal but my schedule is pretty fixed. When at work, I work hard. But once it's time to go off, I get rid of all work baggage and spend the night for myself. But I didn't have a choice, if I didn't finish the work, I was screwed so very very reluctantly I brought the work back. I completed all the work, but I was really exhausted through the weekend. And it didn't help that I spent my Sat baking ( I made tarts, cornflakes and peanut cookies on Sat- 10am-430pm. No joke. My back almost broke from the sitting) and my Sun cleaning out my room. So this week, I don't feel recharged like I always do cos the weekend was spent doing back numbing work.

This is going to be another long week. I'm only in the office today and the rest of the week will be spent outside for meetings. Thank God Fri's a half day but I'll have to clean the windows on Fri. Urgh....

Anywy, pictures taken over the weekend.

My niece and nephew, after baking for 6 whole hrs. Not that they helped...More of a disturbance...They were both topless cos it was so hot that day. I think it was 33 degrees or something...



Last weekend was Dev's last weekend in Singapore. So after the baking, I met him and we went for dinner at Fullerton. A little costly but they have very nice food and ambience. We had sushi, fresh seafood, cooked seafood, lobster bisque, snapper, ravioli, pasta, dessert, amongst others. I've been to many buffets but this is my favourite one.

Oyster, clams, crayfish. I love crayfish...



Dessert was fantastic too. Mango mousse, panna cotta, chocolate mousse cake, bread and butter pudding with vanilla sauce, Malay kueh, the works. I controlled myself, of course.



We dressed up a little. :)



Then after dinner, we went out to the Singapore River and took photos. Dev was reluctant but I forced him to. :)

My new dress, from Outfitters' Girl. It was on sale. It's actually a tunic, to be worn with leggings or black panty hose, but I decided to wear it as a dress. A bit short but I didn't care. :) Better wear these things now than when you are old.



Dev is leaving this Sat, Hari Raya day and I helped him to pack on Sat night. I was sad as we packed as I see his clothes, books, furniture being packed into the luggages and boxes. I'm going to miss him...

The luggages. He's bringing with him 3 luggages. Prety little for someone who's relocating to a new place altogether.


And the boxes. He has 5 huge boxes of furniture, breakables, books, etc..These are going to be shipped over.



And this is a picture of Sonia Saisha Menon. Raj's daughter. I finally managed to take a picture of her. She's 2 weeks old.



This is going to be another crappy week. Not just cos I'm swamped with work, but also cos it's Dev's last week in Singapore.He's leaving for Melbourne on Sat, 745pm......I'm going to miss him.



Have a good week everyone. It's already October. 2 mths and a bit more before I leave for my studies. I can't wait.
