I've finally completed my 13days working streak in StarHub and today was my 3rd off day in June. Working 13days straight is tough but the night events and the lack of sleep makes it even harder to survive the working streak. Whenever I have to go out till late night, the next day I will just happen to be working morning shift, how shag can it get.
Friday was Chih's last day in StarHub and Chih was very kind to offer everyone in Green team and some in billing to dinner/supper to celebrate his farewell. Ended work at 9pm and headed off to Makansukra glutton square near esplanade for a seafood dinner. Think Chih ordered too much food and after trying hard we still could not finish all the food. Had lots of fun chatting around and making fun of Nut and Chih. It was sort of a mini IX re-union as William and Wee Lee attended the dinner as well. After the supper the remaining group of us till went on to the HK Cafe at Marina Square for drinks and chat as it was getting a little bit hot at the glutton square. Chatted all the way till close to 3am before we called it a day.
Food!!!
The Green Team guys
Next day was morning shift for me again and after work went to Demong's 21st birthday party at the chalet. It just happened that there's lots of alcohol lying around again it's the most convenient method to entertain the Green Team. After eating dinner played Indian Poker with pure Whisky as the 'incentives'. Not sure whether it was pure bad luck or poor skills that I lost at least 3 rounds and drank quite a bit of Whisky. Afterwhich break for some photo taking sessions and Demong's cake cutting session. Shortly after it's alcohol time again. We started off with the Joyce's game with guys vs girls but ended up became a guys vs Xun Bin session and was quite surprise Bin can actually hold her alcohol quite well. As more people joined we started off the traditional Cai Quan game, this time with Chivas. I managed to sabo Demong a few times until his mum pulled him out of the game. Gary did a good job making Roger drink as well and Roger was drinking Chivas like plain water and of course could not last too long and David ended drinking quite some Chivas towards the end. Either it was karma or Ruishan was too pro I ended drinking near my limit and have to plead for mercy and threatened not to take her escalations. Soon we finished the entire Chivas and Roger got wasted as well. I was deemed 'gone' by many but I think I was still slightly sober. Managed to answer all the maths question Bin tested me but she should have known that I'm a F Maths student. I took some rest to recover my soberness till around 1am afterwhich Nat sent me home. Took a shower and puked and then k.o.ed.Next morning still managed to wake up at 7plus for work. I'm quite satisfied with my body's ability to recover from alcohol and Roger have to learn from me as I had to apply for urgent leave for him as he could not make it to work. Fortunately it was quite a slack day with all the easy cases and I've finished everything by 3pm and carried on with my normal routine of acting busy for the rest of the day.
Happy Birthday Demong
Initially planned to slack all day at home and catch up on my sleep today but plans always differ from reality. At least managed to have a 10hrs sleep last night which was such a luxury nowadays. In the morning settled some accounts and proceeded on to change my blogskin which is the one you all are seeing right now. Wanted to change it for quite some time but never found the time to do so until today. The original plan for an afternoon nap was thwarted as well as changing a blogskin took slightly longer than expected and afterwhich SM jio-ed me and slave to watch Fantastic 4. Therefore shortly after settling the blog proceeded to PS to watch the movie. F4 was an okay movie which at least I can understand despite not watching part 1. Would say that it was a typical Marvel movie but just that nowadays in movies the bad guys seem a bit weak. After the movie ZX joined us for dinner which also happened to be Wilson's birthday treat. Conveniently had dinner at Manhatten and ZX and I shared the giant seafood platter. This was the first time I had dinner at Manhatten's and overall was satisfied with the standard of the food there as well as the serving portion. Maybe next time can try their Lobster platter which I heard from quite a few of my friends was quite delicious just that the price is a bit expensive. Carried on with pool session at Paradiz before finally heading home, with a complimentary taxi ride by ZX.
Failed to have a good rest today and all I can look forward to will be my rest day on Saturday which most probably I'll be using it to rest rather than doing OT. Next four days will be morning shift as well, which will mean I will not have enough sleep tonight as usual. Guess it's just another vicious cycle of tiredness.
