Seeking Solace

The last obstacle to emancipation was finally removed yesterday.

Speaking of which, the presentation still sends shivers down my spine. Margaret was shooting questions to the other groups, stopping them and giving them a tongue lashing on their presentation. Before the group and the listeners knew what went wrong, she started to praise them. Rena and me froze in our seats, competing with each other to see whose palm managed to turn into ice first.

We got even more frantic when Margaret commented on all group's attire except ours. Then our turn came. We were the last group to present. Wearing the high heels and mentally making a note to say "Safety is extremely important in manufacturing company!" if I were to fall down, I wobbled my way down the steps. It was interesting how smooth the thing went. Maybe not so because we were fighting with time constraint. But we received good feedback from the audience and half way through, the listeners were showing thumbs-up. We pulled our 'black-out' stunt and having breathed in the vapours from Cecilia's place near siao lang geng, we managed to win a hearty laughter and shock the audience. Those smart people even thought of using a screen with a black layout.

I guess that is Team Dynamics. It was extremely hard for us to agree on certain ideas because all of us have a point. The process was fruitful, but unbelievably slow. When the process sped up, we didn't use much of our brain juice. Either that or we didn't have any brain juice left. Sleep and eat were the necessary ingredients to produce brain juice (for them) and we didn't get that. Even then, I have to counter the sickness monster to focus on what I was doing. I still think we were better in rehearsals. Still, we managed to pull through. It is over and whatever the grade is probably doesn't matter. We tried our best anyway.

We took photos, plenty of them!

Heard of anything called the full-dressed rehersal?

After presentation

Out of LT, off to freedom!

And you thought we were three amicable HR personnels...

Think again... There was a wolf in sheep's clothing...

After that, we went down town and had Pepper Lunch. Yes, you read right. With my sore throat, flu and terrible cough and I had Pepper Lunch. I didn't want to dampen the spirit and well, what did they say about using a poison to counter another? When we sat down, everyone was so hungry that we started to dig and flip and turn our food like there is no tomorrow. I think nobody even bother to start a conversation without saying "Pass me the Honey Brown sauce", "Pepper please!" or "I am so hungry". In the midst of quietness and occasional slurping, I felt extremely lucky to have known the right group of people. What am I to do when they have all graduated and I am left alone? Will I fit into the other groups and experience the team dynamics that is so strong over here?

Affinity is a strange thing. You don't chase for it, it comes looking for you if the time is appropriate. There is nothing for you to make out of it and it is the only one thing that I happily acknowledged I have no control over. Let's leave this to some other day because this is going to be a long entry. So, we went to Pepper Lunch and when everyone finished their food, then we remembered the camera. So I start snapping away...

I was complaining about Cecilia's eyes...

and that was when she did it for me... lol

Guess who took the photo?

After lunch, we went cineleisure to catch Just Like Heaven. The plot was predictable like knowing that, that was the guy that she was to meet for the date before accident, that JJ knew Abby and frenched her on her wedding eve, and that Lizzy would forget him when she woke up... But it was such a nice movie. As compared to my latest movie, the tasteless 40 Year Old Virgin, the earlier is so much nicer. Who can resist that beautiful garden and the sudden outburst of declaration they had for each other. Sue me, I love movies with love, fear, anger, jealousy, sadness, phenomenal and unexplainable happenings. The show is made up of witty jokes and smart quotes. It is not a 'wow' movie with a fantastic plot, but it is nice. Like someone with ordinary look, it is only when you zoom into the features separately then you realise how beautiful she is.

Anyway, after the movie, we went Swensen. I gave the ice cream a miss because by then, I was both broke and choked. Because I was too free, I started to take photos, again. Jealousy overwhelmed me and Rena and I took a video of the greedy people. I have decided to name it: The Journey to The West: Meet Jealous and Sick demon and her 3 8 Sister. The photos were.. well..

The Quest

Xuanzang and the three disciples

They totally ignored me!

There are more photos of which I am too lazy to post. It was a fun day, especially you know you have put in a lot of hard work and deserve to enjoy. Good job, Girls.
