PIN hunting

My parents conveniently delayed their Income Tax filing to the eleventh hour. Dear Dad told me that there was a pile of forms on my table before I could even put my bag down. Fair enough. Could have easily deal with mess had I been able to find their PINs!

All I had to ask was "Where are your PINs?" and all hell broke loose.

Mum was smart enough to set aside hers by the television... although she went searching for it in her cupboard. Found hers within seconds and she happily retreated back to watching television.

Dad however, got me on hands and knees searching the entire house. Basically we spent 1/2 hour ransacking his stacks of documents. I almost fainted when he gave me his PIN of 2003! Perspiring profusely from the humid weather, I laughed out loud when he said "Maybe IRAS didn't mail me one this year". Mum nonchalantly quipped "Must be. Of all people... anak gomen ni". Hahaha!

He finally found it. Looks like he wasn't forgotten so easily. After much hassle, the filing was settled within 10 minutes.

Cubaaaaaan.....

Marina Maze

After a hard day's work, I had only one thing in mind - to go Fullerton & relax. Even my colleague welcomed the idea. For a change, we wanted to grab dinner @ McDonald's before walking to the spot.

I was quite certain that there was McDonald's in Marina Square. Well at least before we arrived at the shopping centre...

First we ended up in the foodcourt. After that, we reached GV cinema. We passed by LJS, Giants but see no McDonald's. My heels were quite raw from wearing new shoes and we were really hungry by this time. Finally I asked the security and he confirmed it - no more McDonald's.

Must have been months since I last stepped into Marina Square. In the end, we forgo Fullerton and had our late dinner in Suntec's McDonald's.

Pacifier

I met up with my colleague this morning to go JB. While she breezed thru the immigration custom with her access card, I was stuck in the long queue melting my brains away.

We reached City Square close to 1pm. Bought movie tixs, had our lunch, before stopping by a provision shop for tidbits.



We lingered a while longer after movie checking out the stores in City Square. It was drizzling anyway. Once rain stopped, we made our way back to Causeway Point. Landed up in Woodlands Library and spent the rest of the night reading.

Time to rest my legs. Nite!

EC BBQueue...

After much emails & sms sent, we finally met in East Coast Park. More than enough food to feed the 10 of us. Pakcik started the fire while the rest sat & ate first! Good thing I had eaten Makcik's Fried Rice. =)



The rest of the night was spent yak-yakking away till the stroke of midnight. Whatever leftovers we had, were filled into 8 big plastic bags. I grabbed the pizzas & a pet bottle of Pepsi before the rest could decide. Heehee! I don't think we ate much... especially at the rate we were talking & laughing.


What are they looking at???

By the time I felt hungry again, it was... the next afternoon.

99 GA(S)P?!

There is a winding road near NUS which I never knew existed until our NPCC annual outings. I was only able to join them towards evening for dessert in Guthrie House @ Sixth Avenue. Highlight of the outing it seems was when Jiamei took us for a ride in her lorry thru that crazy road... twice!

Suffice to say, those who sat at the back were dazed with hair all over their faces when they alighted home.

April's Joke

Margaret took leave for a trip to Thailand. I entered office and a vendor was already there to collect cheque payment. Once that was settled, I went to my desk to go thru the statement of accounts. Then Chandra started his nonsense...

Chandra: "Eh, just now AO called looking for you. I told him you were not in yet."

Me: "AO? Looking for me?"

Chandra: "Yeah. You better call him soon. Don't make him wait too long."

I was seriously wondering. Usually he talks & liase with Margaret. Mmm maybe cos Margaret is not around. But then, Margaret has not left any messages whatsoever.

As soon as I picked up the phone, Chandra quipped "But AO also mentioned... since today is the 1st of April, you need not bother to call him."

Aaarrgh! Chandra ran to Neo and added "Today I scored 1-0 early morning."
