Past 48 hours....damn, what a rush

Man, the past 2 days was intense.

So many things happened for the past 2 days that it all seemed to be a blur to me now.

It started out slow initially. It was really boring at work yesterday and I was dreading every minute of it. SL was bad, customers were rude and I seriously didn't wanna be at work. But then later on, while having dinner with Marcel and Cassie, we came up with this bright idea to go somewhere for drinks after work.

Eventually, after punch-out...we took a cab straight to Holland V and then settled down in Wala Wala. Not only we were dead-tired, we were damn hungry...cos we didn't eat much of the Fear Factor food of our cafeteria. Hmmm....sometimes I wonder how we survived all this while from the crap they have been serving us. No doubt the food's cheap, but atleast serve us something edible....by human kind!!! The food they serve sometimes looks like something out of a horror movie that they use as props for gut-spilling-bloody scenes. *pukes*

Anyway....back to Wala Wala.

We ordered quite a hefty amount of food for 3 people. First we started off with french fries, and then we ordered this gigantic Hawaiian Pizza. I think it tasted ok, but as usual, Marcel was complaining the crap out of it. Apparently he has high standards when it comes to pizzas. Still, eating pizza wasn't exactly the main reason for us to be there......it was just to have a good and relaxing time to ourselves.

The funny thing is, I was the only one working the next day...at the 9AM shift!!! But still, I was the only one that didn't want the night to end. Not very often I get to go out and have drinks with my "sister" and "brother". We then ordered drinks. We started with beer.....we had Kilkenney, Strongbow and Stella Artois. And when we finished those, we felt it wasn't enough....then we ordered another jug of Stella Artois. Must admit...its a pretty smooth drink, not too gassy if you ask me.

All in all, we had a good time. Here's one of me and my bro...Marcel.

And here's one with my long lost sister, Cassie!! She's one of the closest people I've known in Singapore and she's definately family to me. No second question. Her boyfriend Jeo joined us in the later part of the night. A very nice guy too....... a good guy. Known him since our training days.

Later that night, the pub closed around 1Am, and me being me, I didn't wanna go home yet. So, we went to a close by coffeeshop...where me and Cassie ordered 2 more bottles of Heineken. It was really fun. Chatting, gossipping, sharing life experiences. Its been a while since I have had a good conversation with close friends. Consequently, I got home around 3AM. And by the time I was ready for bed....it was already 4AM. Sigh...and I was thinking to myself.....in 4 hours time, I have to wake up and get ready for work again.

The next day, time REALLY picked up speed. Just 15 minutes from punching-in, I was already swarmed with an overload of work. I later on remembered that I was suppose to attend the CS-Reccom Bowling competition after work.....and I was suppose to participate!!! I was thinking..."How am I gonna throw a 12 pound ball straight when I only slept for 4 hours?!?!?"

In the end, I didnt really had a choice. I was the house Vice-Captain anyway. So it was kinda my duty to attend these functions. Sheesh...the day I accepted the postion of Vice-Captain....BIG MISTAKE. So much obligations to everything.

So after worked, I rushed to the Chevron's Bowling Center with all the necessary provisions. Initially I droved there in my manager's car to deliver the trophies and drinks for the tournament, and then helped around to organise the event before the contestants arrived. The situation was kinda chaotic that I even forgot to have my dinner.

Soon, when the ball started rolling (no pun intended)....we really had a blast and I kinda felt it really wasn't that bad. Kinda glad I signed up for this. The below was a pic taken at the tournament. Our call-center Director Terrence "The Big Kahuna" Teo was one of the contestants. And I can tell you....he's one heck of a bowler. Year after year, he has always clinche the title of top bowler...even at inter-company events.

And of course, there were some interesting to see as well. Colleagues from other departments.

And here's my team....which I must say...didn't do very well. But it was all in good fun anyway.

And here's my colleague Mac. A sweet gal, which has one really mean swing when it comes to bowling.

Later, things actually got interesting. There was a time in the game where I struck a 4 badger...and had a high-game of 191 points. At that moment, I seriously started to get excited as I was in line to bag the trophy for highest game. But then moments later.......Terrence, scored a high game of 205 points. Sigh....he IS the big Kahuna anyway.

After the tournament, my managers invited me for a late supper at a place call Spicez (this is one freaking good makan place!!!!! For the first time in Singapore I have found delicious malay food!!!!! The mee goreng pattaya is D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! ~drools~). Anyway, little did I know, when I got there....it would seem all the high ranking managers were there too!

Sheesh, I was really suprised by it. I was really caught off guard, cos I thought it was only Da Boss, me and a few others. But there we were.....the managers, and even Terrence was there, all together at a mamak stall by the roadside, eating prata with our hands! In retrospect, I was the only low level officer at that table. It was really a sight to remember. I will definately not forget this night.

Sigh :) so you can see....its been a real rush from yesterday till today. I just got home now....and I'm dead tired. Still, it was all worth it. Really enjoyed myself thoroughly...thru and thru.
