The Post which Mastered Some Grace

Oh my what a terrible week.





I think I mentioned (or maybe not) last post that I wasn't given any duties this month. It felt strange, and although I should have been happy, all I had instead was an ominous feeling that I wouldn't be so lucky.

In my line of work, you begin to develop a sixth sense on days where random crap happens, and my superhuman sixth sense was proven right again.

On the last day of March, I happily strolled into the office after a day of work, happily talked to my supervisors, happily looked at the new duty roster, and my smile happily slid off my face.

14 duties. Oh. My. Gosh.





Okay I gotta admit that it is expectable in my unit to get duty-logged months but I've been lucky to evade them so far. But at least drivers who got them were assured offs every non-duty day.

I wasn't.





It has been nothing short of exhausting: to go home late one day, and not go home at all the next day. Oh well.

At least it's the weekend. Managed to catch up with the folks, as well as Yin Yin, Weitong and Jolene. Haha some special guests huh?





We were supposed to meet at 2pm at Wheellock Place, but as the time loomed, all the girls were suspiciously uncontactable and nowhere to be seen.

Were we punk'd or stood up?




When our barrage of phone calls finally got through to Yin Yin, she announced in a dreamy voice (first sign of trouble already) that she just woke up and will be "on her way" soon.

What to do.

We got into the Big O, and Chengliang and Renjie went off the draw some cash. Meanwhile we studied their menus, and realised that the prices for their meals had some pretty big O's behind too.

Decided to bail (probably one of the more awkward moments in my dining life) and went down Sakae Pasta. Decent food, good desserts.





The girls did finally arrive, nearing tea time when we planned to meet for lunch instead. Haha. When the food was served I looked at the time, and considered ordering food for dinner too.

Talked a lot too. It was refreshing to have some new company in the midst, and the familar laughter of Weitong and Jolene rang loudly in the quiet restaurant.

We went street hopping for a while and after that I went home earlier with the blokes. Shall post up (as usual) the photos when I do get 'em.




Duty tomorrow. Sigh.
