Sarah's Visit

Hello all!

Yesterday was a fun filled day! Haha.. Ok.. Let's start..

Nigel was nice enough to cancel AEM lesson for us to work on the event so we splitted up to do our own individual sections.. Ta Jen & Christian focused on their sponsorship.. These boys were super great! They managed to get 4 sponsors within 2 days.. *Clap* Amanda & Luisa focused on the important stuff which was quite a lot.. Regina helped to babysit Bibash while at the same time collating the purchasing list with me and Aisah.. Haha..

Got chased to go for lunch as we had to leave for Arndale to buy stuff with Debbie at 1pm.. Haha.. Unlucky enough, Debbie had some problems with her car and after finding a replacement car, it was already close to 2pm.. Bought all the things needed for the SRC training session, decoration and promotion.. Coles ran out of water balloons.. Crap!

A lot was going through my mind at that moment as I had to worry about exceeding the budget and also because Sarah was in town from a flight! Plan was for her to take the bus on her own to my school to meet me.. So worried that she'll get lost somehow.. Called her around 255pm and she was already on the bus and I was only leaving Arndale.. Crap!

Luckily, there's always Plan B.. Haha.. Ingrid was already on standby since last night to fetch Sarah for me.. Haha.. She even took one of the 306's pictures from my room and wore something bright so that Sarah will spot her easily.. Haha.. I love my room mate much much.. =)

And in case you were wondering which picture she took, it was this one.. Haha.. Reason: Her head very big.. Easy to recognise.. -.-' Hehe..

Brought the things back to the dining hall to sort out.. Went to the back to grab dumped cardboards to make our signs with Aisah.. Received an emergency call from Regina and Ta Jen that they were having a lot of problems with the lousy water balloons that we grabbed from Big W.. And believe me, they were really lousy..

Realised that it was way past the time Ingrid was to fetch Sarah so I called her only to realise she had been in my unit all this while.. Haha.. Ran back home and there she was sitting on the sofa! So happy! It's really great to see a familiar face after such a long time! =) Haha.. So grateful for my room mates to help me entertain her for me first.. I love them much much too!

Brought her to the dining hall to meet the rest of the company.. Haha.. And finished up the last touches needed for the event.. Carried the stuff back to Ta Jen's room as it was the most accessible from the Swamp.. And he actually bowed when I introduced him to Sarah.. Haha.. Speechless..

Went back home for a quick shower while she played my internet and listened to Chinese songs on Youtube.. Haha.. Realised that I could still put more stuff into her luggage for her to bring home for me so faster grabbed that sack of winter clothing and my comfy boots.. Lucky I'd packed it already.. Waited for Aisah and headed to catch the bus to the City to meet the rest.. Saw Akshay and Andrew on the way out and they though Sarah was Paulina.. Haha..

And their mis-identification is still going on at Facebook.. Their comments were so funny!

Lugged all my stuff up the bus and up to Sarah's room first if not we'll be dragging them all the way to dinner.. Many thanks to her and Aisah for helping me to carry my stuff.. =p Haha.. Dinner was at New Saigon strongly recommended by Paulina.. I forgot what we ordered already.. Some rice paper dishes, chicken and vegetables I think..

The rice paper dish.. Shifu Paulina taught us how to make it.. First, dip the paper into the soup.. Then add whatever you want then apply the sauce.. Roll it and voila!

A group pic minus Edwin while waiting for the food to come..

Paulina, Andra and Edwin.. The lovely Indonesians!

Aisah, Sarah and me! The Singaporeans and the Sin-nga-porean.. =)

And the roll got stuck in Aisah's mouth.. Haha.. Paulina tagged the photo description as "Too Long".. Hmm.. Haha.. And it so reminded me of that time for the preparion of the OB presentation.. I think I said something like "Today a bit short".. Muahaha.. OMG.. I so miss those times..

Bought Bubble Tea on the way back to the hotel.. Haha.. Everybody said it tasted very sweet though.. Only got syrup no milk tea.. And they ran out of pearls.. Poor Aisah.. =(

And a group picture minus Edwin again.. Haha.. OMG! I hate the wind..

If only the picture above was with you guys.. =( Haha.. Miss you all like crazy! And please meet up with Sarah ASAP for your little gifts from me.. Haha.. And when I say little I really mean little..

Followed Sarah back to the hotel while the rest headed back to RIH for Stephan's birthday party.. The poor girl only had 1 hour of sleep since last night so she crashed straight to bed soon after we got back.. I was up till 12am watching TV! Haha.. And I had a funny dream last night.. I dreamnt that Snoopy got dognapped but I found her in the end.. Haha.. Weird..

Woke up around 9am to shower while Sarah prepared for work.. Watched Oprah on TV before I left.. Quite depressing for a morning show.. Haha.. Left around 10am to catch my bus home..

Bye Sarah! It was really great meeting you again! Thanks for bringing my stuff to and fro for me.. =) And by the way, I think you were a real hit with my room mates.. They kept asking when you'll be coming back again the moment I reached home.. Haha.. Ingrid says she has a lot of beauty questions to ask you.. After the nail polish, now she wants to know the brand of lipstick you use.. Muahaha..

Back home to rush through my IHRM assignment.. The afternoon was quite horrible.. There was a basketball match just beside my unit so it was rather noisy.. And the boys were really competitive.. Tsk Tsk Tsk.. And I was so angry at them because I was washing my clothes in the washing machine and they actually replaced the plug with their radio plug without replugging mine somewhere else.. So inconsiderate.. But what could I do? Unplug it? Later they all come after me sia.. And becos of this, I spent an entire afternoon on washing clothes.. -.-'

Jia cooked this dessert soup in her rice cooker.. Haha.. I've been drinking it once every week for almost 3 weeks already.. It's a reminder of what homecooked food really tastes like.. =) Again, I love my room mate much much!

And I think I should give myself a round of applause.. I finished my 2000 word IHRM assignment in one day! Haha.. Usually an 800 word essay would take me 1 week.. =p No choice since I'll be really busy tomorrow and on Monday..

The weather is so crazy! Just look at it yourself.. Haha..

Oh no.. Aussie Dollar is slowly rising.. Please fall back so I can go shopping again.. =) Speaking of shopping, I so regretted going on Thursday.. I bought 2 bags, 2 vests and a lot of groceries.. -.-' But at least it made me happy.. Haha..

Ok.. I think this is a long enuff blog.. Talked alot today and I've been facing the computer for so long.. Haha.. Bedtime! Good night!

Edit: No Goodnight! I completely forgot that I still had cheese, crackers and wine waiting for me in the fridge! And I haven't folded my clothes yet.. Mummy!
