Post-Birthday
Dear all
Turned 28years old few days back. Celebrated my birthday at work, working the midnight shift. Exactly at the stroke of midnight (halfway through me conducting briefing for the midnight team), Craig and the afternoon shift switched off the lights and brought out the birthday cake, singing the birthday song of course. It really caught me by surprise, hehe. This round of midnight was much better compared to previously. Much much better. Seeing that there's no incidents or cases from my shift, 'Botak' remarked that I did 'nothing' during my shift. My reply in exact words, ' Well, I did do something'.
Was OFF yesterday, me and Dear headed to the 'NATAS' fair at Singapore Expo. Dear wanted to checked if there's any promotions on flights for her upcoming Korea trip. A funny incident occurred when we are looking at internal thermal wears at one of the booths. Dearie was looking at a few choices of thermal wear when I pointed out to her of one which cost $19, as compared to others which cost more. She was browsing through when she finally looked set on buying one made of cashmere, a better quality. Furthermore it comes in a set (top and bottom), which I think was a real bargain. On my advice, I told dearie to purchased 2 sets instead of just 1. As Dearie was short of cash and there's a further promotion if settled through Citibank cards, I paid for it through my card. Imagine my shock when I was signing the bill. The bill amounted to $214 instead of $38, which I had expected. The cost of 1 set was $119, instead of $19. After discount was $107, 2 sets costs $214. Dearie said that the expression on my face was so funny. Apparently, she's aware that the price was $119 but stupid me thought its $19 all along.
After that, we headed to Marina Square. Had dinner at Swenssons, dearie's treat. Dearie also got me my birthday present, a lightweight cargo pants from Columbia. Thanks dear, I can use it for my proposed backpacking trip. Before the day ended, we watched the movie 'The Mummy'. Quite dissappointing as compared to the previous 2 Mummy movies but still a must-watch.
Anyway, will be on afternoon shifts next few days.
Thanks
Helmi
