Audit kills

Three weeks past and one more week to go, i can hardly go on. As days go by, I feel like I am sinking deeper and deeper into depression. Don't worry I'm not gonna kill myself or anything YET. lol Since the start of audit til now, I practically have no life, having to deal with such a disgusting routine. For three entire weeks, I reach office at 8.30am and do not go back til midnight. That's almost 16 hours! Yeeks! The feeling totally SUX! It has come to a point of time i dread coming to work and every single activity I do - I've almost dumped my daily operations for audit and somehow or rather refuse to pick it up. RFIs are such a pain in the ass, with unreasonable timelines. Hopefully next week will be a less torturous one and PLS no more late nights! I want to be able to leave office at 5.30pm! Argh..going nuts already! I need to smash some window panes!!

Cartel Cartel, dirty fella!

Today is full-force-Muay-Thai-training day. Awesomely fierce lesson involving some really intensive padding work and shadow boxing. The instructor paired us up Gal Vs Guy and my left foot was kicked twice on the same spot during the one-to-one session with my partner which happens to be the ang moh guy. Foooooooking PAIN and I am limping already! Help I need a sinseh! *whines*. Guess that more or less contributed to my poor performance towards the end - disoriented and poor coordination of limbs. Oh well.

Straight after class, Jia & me headed for Cafe Cartel at Siglap to replenish our burnt calories. I've got nothing to complain about the food and service (at least for now). But there was one incident I just need to get out of my chest!! >>> When we entered, I already noticed the sofas were quite dirty but we still sat on the sofa seats anyway (the less dirty one of cos). 20 mins later, the couple next table left to make payment (also sofa seats). Guess what I saw shortly after their departure? A waiter using a brush to sweep the bread/food crumbs ONTO THE SOFA right infront of us! WTF!! Arghhhh, got more gross one or not!!! We fled right away after the horrifying sight!

Dear Cartel, better do something before being marked by MEWR! Good Luck!

My week in a nut shell

Tues, 3 April
I am officially Jia's bowling kaki, she says. A couple of strikes and spares. Scored close to a 100 for bowling! Oh yay! I am improving at last!

Wed, 4 April
Mediocre lunch @ Sukhothai - Changi Airport. They serve horrible watery green curry chicken. After work shopping with Neo @ Far East. Got Jia's identical necklace @ $5 :x

Thurs, 5 April
Did close to 100 crunches during boxing. *ouch*. We gave up on my first choice - Aston's specialisties for Waraku because of the queue. Reminder to myself : don't ever go to Katong Village Branch.
