Happy 6!

This weekend was a fabulous weekend for me~

It started on Friday night when I somehow managed to gather Seo, Dev and Jenny altogether for dinner without any of them knowing that the others will be joining. Each of them thought that they'd be having dinner with me alone. Hahaha. I seriously didn't mean it and assumed they knew or got in touch with each other... but, why would they suddenly get in touch with each other? This is just hilarious and they were all surprised when they saw each other. Hahaha. We chatted for like 2 hours non-stop. It was nice catching up and seeing them before I head off to UK.

Then on Saturday, I shopped in the afternoon and went to my ex-coworker's wedding banquet at night. Can you believe that this was my first Chinese wedding banquet in HK since adulthood? It was simple and sweet and I truly wish them a happy life together. It was great to see other coworkers too! They had more experienced in these banquets (since they're all older than me) and they said that this was one of the better ones they'd attended as well. Everyone at the banquet was a witness to their signing of their marriage certificate, since they had the lawyer and signed it right there. Their AV team also managed to put together a video of their morning Chinese ceremony as not everyone got to see that. It was so awesome and made me want to do a Chinese ceremony too! Overall, I think their wedding banquet was really well thought out and put together. Must cost a lot since it's at the Hyatt with 24 tables, but the staff was good, the food was good, the venue was good, what more do you want?

Today, I decided to stay home but needed to exchange an item from H&M first. (Btw, I love that I can exchange at H&M, I feel like I'm back in the States where I can practically exchange/return anything. There's this guy who returned a watermelon to the supermarket because it wasn't sweet and the supermarket allowed that! Ha!) Got to Festi and also bought a coffee along the way. Woot! Then came back to make ice cream and my first pie. I made a cheesy tomato pie and it tasted delicious~ Hehe. Love cooking on Sunday because I can have the whole kitchen to myself :D Chilled for the rest of the day.

Today also marks our anniversary! Happy 6 :)

Post-Opening

Apparently, according to fellow trainees and other coworkers, I've been fought over by the two assistant curators at work. One is my boss, who wouldnt let me go, and the other is the boss of the other team that's going to put on the upcoming exhibition. Wow, I suddenly feel so precious yet helpless at the same time. I don't get a say in all this! Did anyone category whether I want to be on the project at all? I guess not, since I'm the small potato.

Exhibition finally opened! Super happy that it's done but now I'm so sick of it, I want to throw it away. Haha.

Met up with my ex-coworkers and they asked me how my new job is. I must say, although it's definitely hard work, I feel much more accomplished. At least there's an end product somewhere! I have more to show in 3 months than in the year I worked at my previous job! A book with my name in it? Of course!

Absolutely cannot wait till I go on vacation. Things finally fell into place and I most likely would be able to see everyone, especially Heidie, whom I haven't seen since I went to college. Need to figure train schedules and touring routes in Edinburgh and Dublin this weekend, along with deciding what to pack. I suck at packing, as you all know.

Draw Something

Sometimes, I really don't know how Pete and I communicate with each other... Every time I have a computer problem, I'd ask him for help; however, we almost always end up in an argument because we don't understand what each other want.

We're currently playing the new 'it' game (other than Piyomori, which is basically piling on as many balloon chicken as you can onto a bowl. Trust me, highly addictive), Draw Something, and we realize that we suck at guessing what the other person is drawing. I'm glad that we never need to go to those couple parties and play couple games because I think we'll always end up last. HAHAHA.
