Friday Night Fever

I'm feeling feverish...... was feeling very cold in the afternoon and no matter how I wrap myself up in my shawl, I don't feel the heat, instead, my palms are really cold.... and when I put my cold palms on my forehead, it felt super HOT!

ARGH!!! What's wrong??? Is it due to lack of sleep for the past few nights? And bathing late at night? Ok.... I'm wrong mama! I shouldn't have bathe so late at night, and bathe so early the next morning... Feel my neck acheing.... and also my back... it hurts.... reminded me of the time when I had to go to NUH for my medical checkup cos I suffer from a 'slanted backbone'.

Anyway, today is a chaotic day for my dear client OLC. She die-die want the ad to be upfront news right, and must be single digit some more! And SPH is not very willing to help because we keep changing dates, keep pulling out ads, and keep making requests to be paginated upfront... sigh ... but what to do? The client will always think that their 1 cent is bigger than the Buffalo Cartwheel.... we have to be thick skin and talk to the salespeople at SPH till they succumb lor.... but this time, heng Meiyin is working on it as Sharon is on leave, or else we'll be facing an LC No.2 and this is going to be hell!

The matter is only solved around 2:30pm. When Meiyin agreed that she should choose Upfront News Right, instead of Upfront News Left.. phew... can finally heave a sigh of relief.

Joan asked me out for lunch today, and we went to the Noodle House along Amoy Food Centre to eat the Taiwan Beef Noodles... Yummy Yum Yum! : ) Its really authentic... I felt as if I am back in Taiwan, eating beef noodles. But its a bit expensive - S$5! Hmmm.... and the portion is not really very big. We also ordered "guo tie" to share. Today's lunch is an expensive one - spent $6.50! Next week must try to spend less on lunch.... I have to save $$$ for my Japan trip next year! : )

Yanshan will be coming back for good in Sep 06! YEAH!!! AT last!! The 4 of us would be reunited!! We can siao together again, despite the 'upgrade' of Yuan to be Mrs. Ng which happened not too long ago. Hope that woman is adapting well to her new role, although they're not staying under the same roof as yet.

The aunty selling DVD was here just now. I bought 3 pieces of DVD for S$18. Have been waiting for "Howl's Moving Castle" and finally saw it. Actually, we thought of buying that for Jennifer Loke for her birthday on 22 Nov. But have to think of other things to buy for her liao. I also bought "Cinderella Man", heard from Emily that this is a really good film! I don't want to miss out on that! and also bought "Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus" for my 3 nieces. They will be very thrilled for sure : )

Juliet has been very stressed today over her King Kong bus ad and the Citibank 268 Building banner. Sigh... seems like our plans to pop champagne would be postponed to 16 Nov instead. This Raymond from MBO last minute drop an email to say that BCA requested for last minute add-on to make the structure more stable, hence, we can only target at 16 Nov as the start date. DAMN!!! We were joking about popping champagne and cutting ribbon on 12 Nov, and also bet on 0268 and 2680 for Sat & Sun 4D! Now it looks like we kena CHEATED...

I think I have to consult a doctor already... the fever is still there and I have a splitting headache.... and I can feel my bones aching....

Tomorrow mum's friend is coming to take measurements and help me custom-made a wardrobe for my study, as mum's complaining that I have too many clothes and books and there's not enough space to house them! sianzzzz... must spend $$$$ again... I'm still trying to get used to the new arrangement of my study room, with the bookshelves behind me... ARGH... dunno why but it sure feels awkward.... Maybe because of the fengshui, I haven't felt any better.... ARGH!!! and 18th Nov is the OBS!! I mustn't be too sick!

Juliet sent out an email to the team, and copied Soonthorn and Sharon Soh for the Birthday Celebration of our team members after the OBS. We're going to Changi Village for Seafood dinner... Yeah!! That place is quite near my house :) I hope I dun fall too sick!

I've fulfilled my task as a genie and told Shio a joke. YEAH!! It's so tough to find time to do such small things for your colleagues even though you work in the same office. Sometimes we hardly see each other as everyone is rushing out for appointments.

There's an article in MARKETING magazine on "Ad Watch" and this Senior Art Director, Kat Tan of Chuo Senko Advertising, said a lot of bad stuff for our Citibank's Home Saver Loan "Orange and Apple" print ad! haha...... I personally think its an ugly ad too, but nevermind, Y&R ought to dig a hole and bury the creatives who did that ad!

Yeah! The December issue of CLEO is here too! Can bring home to browse and kill my weekend in the event if I really fall sick and need to stay home to recuperate.... anyway, I'm not supposed to go out tomorrow, cos mum's friend is coming to take measurements and build me a new wardrobe!! ARGH!!!! Sianzzzzzzzzzzz
