Rice Uncle and Awfully hot lunches

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

I haven’t updated this in a long time. A quick update would be i abandoned cheesels since I left my ex company and have moved on. It was a sad break up but I have learnt to live with out it. Ever since I left the company I’ve lost weight! haha Manager Jeremy spoilt us. He drove us everywhere for lunch. Didn’t walk a lot and ate a lot. But those were the days. Nowadays, I’m left with ABC market and a hot walk and cheeky rice uncles.

Conversation goes during lunch:"Where you going to eat?" "ABC Market" "Har always the same" "Ok let’s go Alexander" "Er Ok la ABC Market" hahaha lazy colleagues.I like this set of colleagues in fact have grown attached to them just like Concepts. Leaving won’t be easy. Has been half a year since I left the other previous freelance job.

Let me introduce you to the "Rice Uncles". They’re the nicest people I’ve ever met and they work opposite my building. They manage a rice store house and they carry sacks and sacks of rice everyday. And they’re not young!All very strong. One of them in fact is my fashion consultant. Everytime I see him I greet him with a goodmorning and then he smiles and says "Xiao Jie!" and gives me a thumbs up. hahaha. IF no thumbsup I know my dressing didn’t impress him. So that’s a challenge to get a thumbsup from Rice Uncle number one. Antoher Rice Uncle number 2 is really very very nice. He even gave me a flower from their garden at the back. Our office is moving and I’ll really miss them. They make my mornings. A nice break from the grumpy commuters. First thing I see before I step into the office, are smiley faces. Grinning sun baked toothy Rice Uncle faces. haha.

Ok I’ll end of here. Am on MC today and feeling very lerthargic. Will write soon about other stuff I think.

"XIAO JIE!"THUMBSUP.
