stressed

My week started with alot of inconveniences and changes. I am such a creature of habit that any change that comes makes me very stressed. Unnecessary stressed.

I had to change my seating location at work coz I had to pitch in to help out another department. Stressed teruklah coz I have got accustomed to the location having sat there for the past 3 years... but what management tells you to do, you just do it. No questions asked. That's really my work mantra.

Anyway, it has been almost a week and I think I have gotten darker by a few shades. Driving from one appointment to another has been taxing and definitely very detrimental to my now fair skin. Luckily I have recently started applying massive layers of SPF 50 sunblock (Biotherm's) and I hope it helps.

I actually started writing this post on Tuesday but didn't quite get to it until today coz I have to acclimatise to the new position and new job scope and of course the sales calls. And today, I must announce that I closed at RM85K contract with a client breaking all of my company's previous records. Come on I have been here less than a week and I have managed to close a sale, applause please...

Another silver lining is that for the past couple of days, I have had a fantastic time dining out during lunch. The 1st day was at Ikea, had those yummy meatballs and the crunchy pie; 2nd day I had lunch with some friends at Village Something which sells nasi lemak with all kinds of lauk but was totally not spicy and not very tasty, the next day we went to Penang Village at Hartamas Shopping Centre for Prawn Mee which was so-so only, and today we went to Sakae Sushi and had quite a gala time fasting on an assortment of sushi, maki, soft shell crab, tofu, etc...The total bill for today came up to RM60 and was quite reasonable considering we had quite a fill. At Sakae Sushi, when you have accumulated a total bill of RM500 over 3 months, you will be entitled to become a member. All members get a 10% discount on all food items. So our next plan is to eat at Sakae Sushi at least once a week for the next 3 months to get the membership card... after some thought, maybe not coz after 3 months of intense feasting on Jap food, the appeal could be reversed!!! Muak!

Anyway, have a great weekened. Going for Earth, Wind & Fire tonight. Looking for to boggying to Fantasy...
