Having a chinese celebration in a not so chinese country

Time to update my blog about what I’ve been doing since my last entry about work. Other than being a hermit 90% of the time. I did have a life for 10% of it. Other than my colleagues calling me out after work one of them was this moon cake festival celebration we had at my apartment, which I was forced to go. Company organised event. At first I didn’t want to go but since all my brothers from microlab, and 1 brother from chemical(wah, no unity leh) lab came I was more willing to go. Note: “more willing” doesn’t mean “want to go”.

So what did I do for moon cake celebrations? Dance for the fairies! Ok not exactly, but I had to dance for the ladies in office because my team won a challenge. The tie your leg to a partner and put a balloon between your necks contest. We didn’t even practice! Under normal circumstances, winning gets you a prize. For this challenge, We had to dance with our butts shaking. And after “dancing” the ladies would choose the better dancer to dance again. Needless to say lah, I won. I think those times I spent at Ritz Carlton ball room, Zouk and Liquid Room paid off? Maybe. And for all that effort what did u get? A glass mouse that I left in the apartment because my luggage was too heavy :D …and I didn’t know what I’ll do with it anyway. Might as well leave it there to scare people.

During my last week there, there were tonnes of blanjahing to do. At the same time, I also wanted to get rid of all my foreign cash. My brothers from Chemical and Micro lab were so lucky, they got blanjah twice! Round One, Lab friends. Round two, all the uncles :D. Round 3, people from round 1 and round 2 who could not make it, but chem and mirco lab bros came along anyway since Round 3 was my last day there so might as well call them out for a last lunch outing together. Was so touched when my friends from micro lab were helping me carry my heavy stuff on the way out.

And thus, here am I back in SG awaiting my next overseas assignment. I really cannot wait! This time I heard my hotel is right next door to the shopping district! Time to take out the cash! It’s shopping time! :P

…I hope.
