A long day
Was on leave yesterday but that was cos I had plans for a little fun time.
Met up with my bestest bud, Corinna (aka Cor), at 11.30 am. First we went to do a little shopping while we waited to meet up with another friend of ours, Lien. Once we met up with him we went for lunch. Given that Cor was visiting from Texas and Lien was back from school in New York they both wanted local food so we ended up going to a food court over by Centrepoint.
After lunch we headed over to HMV to check out the dvds there and then went to Takashimaya to meet up with Cor's hubby, Ed and their son, Ethan. Ed's sister, Tina, was with them. The whole group of us then just kidn of checked out the electrical stuff that was there, mainly cos Cor and Ed were thinking of getting this hot water airpot. Basically its this kettle that keeps the water in it hot and when it starts to get a little cool with will automatically boil the water again so you always have hot water at hand. I have one at home and they can be pretty handy. For my mom it's handy cos she can have a cup of coffee anytime of the day and straight away without having to wait for the water to boil and for me, well its handy when it comes to cooking, save time on waiting for water to boil when say cooking vegetables lol.
After hanging out there for awhile we headed downstairs to look for some snacks and met up with Yass for a while. He joined us during his break - he's a restaurant manager so has a break from like 3 pm - 6 pm. Cor, Ed, Ethan and Tina left at about 4 - 4.30 pm cos they had a family dinner to go to later than evening and well they wanted to have a little rest before that, especially Ethan. It will be a while till I see them again seeing as they're leaving to go back to the US on Saturday.
After they left, Lien, Yass & I went to do a little shopping - Lien needed to get some dress shirts for his upcoming internship. Yass had to get back to work at about 6 pm so Lien and I were left to our own devices. Actually it was more to where ever and what ever Lien wanted to do lol. We ended up going to the Apple shop to check out some of their stuff - he's an Apple fan while I've always been a Windows person, though right now if money was no object I would consider getting an Apple but only cos they are apparently the best computers to have for graphics and that and well my ultimate dream job is to be a freelance web site designer but sadly that is not the case so I'll just be as creative as I can with my currently available resources lol. After a while we ended up going for a movie but there wasn't much of a selection and ended up watching "The Assassination of Richard Nixon". I found the show a bit slow moving and a tab boring but Lien seemed to like. By the time we were out of the movie it was almost 10 pm. Headed on home after that.
Good thing I had set the vcr to record the Amazing Race cos it was the final episode. Got home to watch the second hour. I'm so sad...I really wanted Amber and Rob to win but oh well it just wasn't their luck. I think if Uchenna and Joyce had not been able to get on that flight to Miami at the last minute then it would have been a given that Rob and Amber would have won. Just their luck that they couldn't find that place in Little Havana fast enough. Oh well, that's the breaks. Wish I could join the Amazing Race, sadly not an American citizen and it's only open to American citizens.
Well it was a long, tiring but fun day and it was more exhausting to be coming back to work today but so far the day has gone by pretty fast and I only have another 3 hours of work to go.
Till my next vent....
