30 minutes more to go before I get off work. Can't wait!

I won't stay back today to finish my work. Nope! Not gonna do it. I did that the whole of last week and I'm sick of it.

I'm gonna go home and lay on my bed. My back feels like it needs cracking ... y'know like how you crack your knuckles. I wish I could just pull it out and just give it a nice good stretch. *CRACK*

My aunt says that there's this machine that they sell in the US that allows you to hang yourself upside down. Maybe that'll help me in stretching my back. Can't seem to get a good stretch no matter how I twist and turn.

Started a new blog.

Not so much as a blog as a list of what I eat everyday. Blophie85 advised me to keep a list of all the things that I eat for my weight loss attempt. She says it helps when you know what you've eaten and how some of those things could be cut down to keep off the blubber. Also advised me to keep off the carbos. Kinda difficult being a chinese and not eating the carbs. Rice is eaten almost everyday and if it's not rice, it's some sort of noodle.

Will try though ... will try.

Just got back from lunch. As usual am really full and sleepy. Haven't started on any work today. Have been busy replying mails that are more than a week old!

Got a mail from Cris from the Philharmonic. She needs another soprano for the small choir for Christmas and asked if I was interested. Since I don't have plans, told her I was. Will be getting paid for this gig. It's about $50 bucks a pop and there's 3 gigs so that's $150. I'd do it for the heck of it but I never say no to money. ;)

Practise is this Thursday at 8pm at Susan Ho's. Still waiting for Cris to reply with the address. Will have to call her if I don't have the address by Thurs morn.

Dance practise tonight at 9pm ... maybe ... if I don't feel too lazy.

Back in my cubicle

Have had 5 days of holiday. I feel even more tired than before the holiday started. Didn't have the type of holiday I'd consider a good holiday.

Was awaken everyday in the morning by papa to go for breakfast ... ideally, won't have to wake up till noon but that didn't happen ... nope, not even one of those five days did I sleep past noon. Urgh ... bad.

The eating part was good enough. Could have had more hawker stall food but that was limitted by papa's friends who wanted to treat us for dinner. Plus, the food prices in Penang have shot up considerably. It's almost as expensive as KL ... another bad.

Nothing much happened during the holidays. No gorgeous guys sightings as like last year. Not enough of assam laksa and durians eaten. Not a very good Penang trip, I would say. Too much sitting in the car heading somewhere or the other.

Luckily we didn't have the day trip to Haddyai as originally planned. That would have included waking up at the ungodly hour of 6am, a drive of 1-2 hours to the Malaysia-Thailand border, non-stop shopping (window shopping for me) of sub-quality? items and then another 1-2 hours drive back home to Aunty See's place. Bleah! That would have been dreadfull for me.

Hopefully the trip to Kraabi would materialise next year. Don't mind a few days of lazing on the beach. In fact, that's my idea of a holiday. Nothing but lazing and playing ... no rushing off to anywhere for whatever reason. Ummm ... have that song by All Saints playing in my head now. The one they did for the movie 'The Beach' with Leo DiCaprio. Don't remember the song title. Movie was total crap but the beach looked absolutely brilliant.

Oh well, that's not till next April ... maybe

For now, tis back to work. Was just given another deadline. End of this week ... rather by Thursday. For another stupid hack job.
