Food thoughts kept running through my mind.
This is what you get when you sleep past lunch and dinner.

Finally at 2am, I just couldn't take it any longer. The scene in the food channel that i watched this morning of soup tulang was overwheming all my sense.. Have not had it in 3 years. Now I cannot think anything but food already. With the desk being quiet already. I ran down to lau pa sat across the road and hope the indian stall is still open. Oh yes... my craving can be fufillled.. this is so going to be a great night. Got the smallest packet available, back to my desk to then lay newspaper to soak up any possible mess. I set about tapping and sucking... pure sin

Took me 45 mins to finish all the bone marrow up. Too bad its the weekend so i didn't buy any bread or i would have finish the chilli sauce up too. But eating this stuff is hell messy or maybe i'm just not skillful enuff at handling the bone.
I'm so contented right now.

	Me going home from work! Look at me going home on friday and then coming back to work on monday. Dumb blondes at work is for bosses.. pity the colleagues. Some people just got poor working attitude, they just don't get it. All the capable ones are leaving with more to join them these leave only the inefficient behind.

Was going to transfer some money using IB on the DBS platform when i got a shock. It prompted me for a dual authentication using a random key generated from a token. BUT i have not even received my token or any letters informing me to collect one. Anyway after i got over the shock, i click cancel and retry. This time I got in without the 2nd level password. Hmmmm a peek a things to come?

Personally the 2nd level thing would be good on paper but its so troublesome in real-life. I do approx 15-20 IB banking a month and less than 1/2 of them is done at home. So does that mean I would need to carry the token generator around. Thats so troublesome for that few secs of tranasction that i randomly do. How about those who travel frequently or with mulitple accounts with various banks? From a large convience, it's going to turn into a big turnoff with its introduction of the 2nd level pass.

I really like going home after work. Okie okie its not so much the act of going home that I like but I love the feeling i get when i step out onto Shenton Way @ 5:45am in the morning. The air smells nice and looking at all the tall buildings around me yet the streets and pavements are empty of people. YES I like being in a modern city BUT without the feeling of being in an overpopulated city. I jaywalk across the 6 lane road outside the office each morning and enjoy the sounds of my footsteps in the underpass.

I think i'm weird.... i want to enjoy all the aspects of modern living without the population. Thats quite a paradox. If enjoy being alone so much go live up in the mountains next to some lake lah. Yet i can't live without all the modern facilities at my fingertips. Each day after work I can go to the ATM, Cash deposit, get a cab, get food, get a seat in the train blah blah without any competition.

Can't wait till end of this year... Work currently is fast losing its meaning. I have always said either to be happy with the pay, the job or maybe the colleagues. I need to find another reason to be coming to work, cause the above points does not apply currently.

Friday 13th an unlucky day for some? Mine went really well.. in fact i want more friday the 13th.

Gone to bed at 8am only to be woken up by a phonecall at 11am. Hmm says private number.. could it be the bank calling me back to arrange an interview? Ehhh nope.. BUT its was a Recruiting Agency and well seems one of my ex-colleagues recommended me for a job. Hah.. feels good to egt someone asking for my resume instead of submitting it hoping that it'll see some light. Anyway email the agent my resume and hope now something comes out of that.

Tried to go back to sleep and then at 1pm got an sms from the other bank this time. The regional head wants to meet me for a chat at 5pm. Nice nice. Guess i need to go iron pants and shirt then.

Got there at 5pm but he says to give hime 30 mins.. so i go kopitiam and eat wan ton noodles.. 5.30pm still no call.. went 7-11 but drink and sit somewhere... 5.45 still no call go walk around outside the building.. walk walk till abt 1km away liao 5:55pm then he calls and says to meet below RIGHT Now.. piang gotta rush back.

Anyway it was just a brief chat abt 15mins long.. not an interview.. its a new role and nothing is confirmed yet. But if they are hiring, interviews will be in about 3 weeks time. But the job does not really interest me that much.. so i suppose i would only look at pay if get offered.. always better to have more choice i guess in this instance.

Went down to meet my gf at Novena Square for dinner, then had abt 1hr+ to burn before I need to come in to work. So we headed down to VivoCity. Whoa the place really is GREAT. I mean my gf been working in shopping centres for more than 5 yrs? Seen the selling points of a good shopping centre and there really is nothing big to complain about Vivocity. Too bad alot shops were still not open and i only had an hr plus to explore it all.
