holiday pahtee

this past friday, we had our company holiday party at the four seasons in EPA.


mimi, erica, fifi, & me! the Process Development Dept., minus our boss, prema.
we had deeelicious food! filet mignon and salmon! the filet mignon was mighty good.


our dessert: an apple pie in a pastry crust a la mode! drool...
plus we had hor d'oevres, 2 cocktail bars, a martini bar with a connetics ice sculpture where the bartender poured the martini down, 2 huge fondue fountains, professional pictures we got in silver frames, silver place holders, a small gift, dancing, and magician! our company sure knows how to party. most likely, it will be the last. :(


best of all, mySS got to come! thanks to erica (i was her date) and fifi (mySS was her date). =D
it was a fun time (surprisingly, for a company party)!

sugar fix

i don't know why, but over the past year i've needed a sugar/chocolate fix after dinner. i've tried so many things to replace the sugar fix like fruit or yogurt but it just doesn't work! i know once you have sugar, your body craves it more. but what if your body craves sugar even if you haven't had it?!? i just chewed an orange flavored centrum vitamin and boy, that is sure not the same! :P wait...or maybe it's because i just went running and i need some "electrolytes". that still doesn't explain my after dinner chocolate fix. ok, not having sugar is making me go crazy!

t'was 2 weeks before christmas...

santa came early and delivered this:



thanks J! :)

whole again

my lovely citizen eco-drive watch had a band malfunction two weeks ago. i ordered the part that i needed but they gave me the wrong one! so now, i have to wait again for the correct part. i realized that i have been going crazy from missing my consistent and trustworthy companion for 3 years ever since. not having a watch drove me crazy enough to buy a temporary one today. i am quite happy with what i ended-up with: a kid's analog timex watch w/ indiglo for only $11.24, on sale (not the one pictured)! hot diggity dog! i feel whole again!*

*ok, mySS can tell you how crazy i am/was without a watch. i was even trying to figure out the reasons why i am so driven by time and why i felt sooo lost (i need my watch for lab work, being on time, knowing the date, not having something on my wrist when it has always been there, etc...). yes, i do have 2 spare watches but they were too bulky and it was not the same. sniff. yes, they are both pink. yes, i did consider buying a HK watch (it was ReaLLy cute) but practicality won. :P yes, now i do own 3 pink watches. v(^_^)v

sing lah lah laaah!

i turned on the tv and saw these ladies singing. now, i want to buy their cd and go to their concert in SJ on may 16th! of course, the river dance ppls started this group. hah! i wonder if i would be bored at the concert with 5 ladies walking around in nice dresses singing. well, except for the fiddle lady who tries to river dance at the same time. ok, you know you're bored when you start watching pbs and actually start enjoying the concert that's playing. time to do something else...like look-up the celtic woman cd! :P
