vincent's farewell party

Top boss is saying goodbye. Such a loss, but as they said, goodbye is not always the end.

Learned a few things from my boss:
1. If at first you don't succeed, remove all evidence that you ever tried (really good advice coming from the boss)
2. We have to accept that in life you are sometimes the pigeon and sometimes the statue

Had dinner at Zaytoun. Was so surprised to see pork steak in the buffet table, I was like "WTF! It's pooooork!". Ahaha... Never been this excited to eat, coz the normal dishes that we eat in the buffet even in the hotel were beef, chicken, lamb, salmon etc etc. but definitely not pork. Never thought that Zaytoun have license to serve pork. Now I know where to go when I want to eat pork.

 yums! pork, corn and potato

 yums yums! part two!

 

eala dessert!

He even have a cake! And the most annoying thing was that I was appointed to cut the goddamn cake.

actually, this is a very nice cake that I literally mutilated later

ways to celebrate

Had so much fun last night. It was my post birthday bash and pre halloween party as well. It's a small party held at Renz place (who's very very nice to lend his flat for me to have a party). After two days of food preparation, it certainly paid off. Cooking and food prep courtesy of Renz, Erlyn and Blesie.

was very surprised to see that Renz did actually made an effort to put this on the wall

guess what's in the fridge... ^_^

astrology time

Section 1: How You Approach Life and How You Appear to Others

You appear gentle and soft, and you act rather reserved with others until you know them well and feel it is safe to be open with them. You have a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and are deeply attached to the past: your heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is known and safe can be very painful and difficult to you. You tend to cling and hold on to people, memories, possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to you.

Section 2: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, you are not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. You are extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and you allow only a special few into your inner world. Like a wary animal, you are cautious and mistrustful of those you do not know until you "sniff them out". You are very, very instinctive and intuitive. You usually have a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though you may be unable to clearly articulate why you feel as you do. Your feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Found this astrology link and posted it here as some points are true while the others are not.

Very normal day and just noticed how time simply passes by so quickly.

freaky weekend

What happened in my two days off? Well...

Friday:
- went to office for few hours to do some freaking recon that keeps on multiplying on my table
- went to Al Ghurair Mall to watch "No Other Woman"
- passed by at Carrefour to buy some stuff to fill my lonely box that am planning to send next month

Saturday:
- received a call from my sister telling me a very very bad news that our cat Luckee died this morning (and I even bought some goodies for him last month to surprise him!)
- went to Al Badia concert park for the "Sports Day"
- had to eat my lunch in the middle of the park under the blazing heat of the sun (thoughI did enjoyed my baked potato and vegetable spring rolls)
- had fun watching the DFC HOD lose the football match with the score of 1-2 against Holiday Inn Abu Dhabi
- made a complete fool of myself while trying to hold the big umbrella coz the wind was so strong and I even thought in one moment that I will be flying off in the ground along with it (and freakin' Ivan just stood in front of me laughing like maniac and taking pictures of me while am freaking out so badly coz I cannot hold the umbrella anymore)
- forgot that I DID bring my camera and just went on watching. The time I remembered it, all the good moments are gone
- passed to Hyperpanda to buy another batch of stuffs to be put in my box
- heard that we're going to have a new flatmate (and it's freakin' Indonesian again - no probs with them but my point is we were supposed to live in the flat with same nationalities. I'll definitely going to complain for this, need to send an email to the Housing or HR team for us to be transferred to a new flat)
- had dinner in Renz place and so full with so ohh-so-good dinner

.....

I'm too lazy to get my cam and upload some pics... Just sharing one pic that I saw from Ivan's fb. I'll just update this blog tomorrow as it's already 11:40pm and I still need to wake up 6:20am tomorrow for the 7am bus.
