about the agency trip to HK
the BBDO agency trip to hong kong was a blast.adventure 1:
one notoriously sleepyhead art director woke up at 5.30am when the united airlines flight's boarding gates close at supposedly 6.15am. he made it on time, with his hair styled too. highly impressive.
adventure 2:
the super gancheong mama traffic director's boots split. she had to superglue it on the spot before boarding the plane and explain to the anal retentive customs why she needs to bring glue on board.
adventure 3:
ms bee almost screamed at the young chick at the boarding gate for being fucking yayapayaya. apparently, UA does not allow stuff like lip glosses (even in lippy pots) to be brought on board the flights. this should've been highlighted when they were checking in the luggages and NOT WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO BOARD THE FUCKING PLANE. she hates being bullied into giving up three of her expensive lip balms to someone who looks unusually excited at confiscating it and perhaps, keeping it for herself. ms bee made quite a ruckus and the chinese senior male custom allowed her to bring it on board as long as she stuffed them into a ziploc carrier. er...what's the point? cos apparently once they've walked through the detector, she was allowed to take her lippies out of the ziploc and carry them on board as per normal. hmmm.
adventure 4:
the second batch of agency people flying cathay pacific arrived MUCH later than anticipated cos one blur art director went AWOL after arriving at the hong kong customs. mr space cadet thought we had to make our own way to the hotel and decided to take a cab without informing his colleague who spent a fucking half hour searching for him. thank God she wasn't on the second flight.
adventure 5:
a senior art director apparently took the WRONG luggage and only discovered it when his performance outfit wasn't in there. the weirdest thing was...it was the exact same luggage, same surname and same keycode!!!! damn! it belonged to some korean businessman who was smart enough not to take the wrong luggage. the art director found his right one after exchanging it at the airport with a hefty cab bill.
adventure 6:
though the united airlines flight was scheduled to take off later than cathay, the UA people had to check in earlier cos of longer custom checks. 7 people on the UA flight missed the bus ride from the hotel to the airport cos they were stuck in a jam at the hong kong island tunnel.
phew.
and the rest?
- found out who the silent drinker is
- found out some people had personal agenda and had to cheek to disappear during D&D and turn up for free post party booze later. not shy huh?
a real adventure it is. haha.

about the little things in life
...when he offers his hand for you to doodle silly face tattoos when you're stressed...when he calls to find out how your day went despite only having an hour's rest the night before
...when he scolds you for procrastinating the VERY much needed dental appointment
...when he lectures you for buying another unnecessary pair of shoes which you know you won't wear but buy it cos its so pretty
...when he hits your hand to stop you from overpicking the cuticles until it bleeds
...when he pulls the covers up to keep you warm when you're asleep
...when he's just being a kid fixing some star wars lego
it's always the little things that move you.

about the katong home gathering
first jan 2007 was spent with the buds and other half at her new place for a mini house gathering.
menu of the evening:- tuna pasta salad with baby asparagus & chickpeas in light olive oil (turned out kinda bland which prob suited only celine and ms bee's anti-salty taste buds)
- soba salad with sesame soy sauce dressing (soba turned out horribly soggy. lesson learnt, buy proper soba and not the instant 3min sorts)
- sushi (from sakae. saviour of the night for those who don't dig bland food haha)
- dessert: mini banana muffins with mars topping (compliments of celine dammit forgot to take a picture of the yummy dessert) and awfully chocolate icecream from lillian
- fav alcohol of the night: choya and brown brother's sweet dessert wine moscato (i think). for some reason, nobody really wanted the vodka and she now has 2 bottles of it (one from trish and another from jules) in addition to her own raspberry vodka? perhaps she'll consider doing a vodka nite...
VIP of the night: baby erica who coughed up a mini furball after chewing on ms bee's furry teddy bearshe's now planning for another boardgame themed gettogether for the photographers and designers night. will probably do it before CNY for some festive cheer! woots!
