Hey all, this has been a crazy week again, but I'm sure no one wants to read about work whinings!
The weekend started with a giant burger at Carl's Junior. They have entered the local scene for over a few years but I did not see the need to get there fast to grab a burger or two. And now that I've tried a burger from Carl's, all i can say is gimme a steak anytime! No burgers for me, at least from fast food joints. Then we sat at the beach, chat about the financial markets, and looked at the bright ol moon and stars and lulled by the gentle wave sounds and soft sea breezes, I slowly unwind from work stress. On our way back to the car park, an animal appeared from the shadows and the friend pointed at it and went "MONKEY!!!". I though it was obviously a CAT. Very obviously one. Then the friend explained that she spotted two monkeys in the same area before. Okay....well that was a cat, not a monkey.

New name card.
My company issued new name cards for us all.
Now our faces are on the name cards as well. Yeek! I'm not happy. I always associate name cards with pictures for trades such as insurance, house property agents, or car salesmen. S***, now I'm one of them.
Why do we need photos on name cards? I asked around, no one had impersonated as an officer of my agency before, so why why why? Aren't we too paranoid?
I'm not photogenic. But I must say, they did a pretty good photoshop job. All my pimples are gone! But I forgot to wear a corporate black generic jacket on the day of shoot. I wore instead a frilly turquoise chiffon top. So I don't look very corporate, but I don't really care. They could have photoshopped a suit on for me if it was very important.

Swept off my feet by puddle.
After a satisfying meal of won ton noodles, I crossed Lucky Plaza on my way to Takashimaya, and then it happened. I fell on my butt. People around me gasped, and a crowd gathered, and when all realised I wasn't bleeding or had broken any parts, they tsked about the water on the floor being the cause of my fall, and wondered off. NO ONE offered to help me up.
I was slightly embarrassed, but more than anything I was in pain for a while and almost wanted to cry. But kept reminding myself to think positive (it could have been worse), and that I'm not 5 anymore, so shouldn't cry. I reminded the owner of shop closest to the accident scene to ask mall management to mop up the water, and she gave me this LOOK like I'm asking for the sky. Then I told her if an old lady fell down instead and hurt herself badly, the shop and mall can be sued, just to frighten her abit into action. I think it worked.
