what luck!

My new office is located on the 34th storey, the main lobby's lift is at the 2nd storey.

On Friday, the story starts...

My mentor and i had to go for a client visit at 3.30pm at 1 Raffles Quay, which is a mere 10 mins from my office building.

At 3pm the fire alarm rang, but alas a false alarm... We left the office at 3.10pm to take the lift.

ALL THE LIFTS WERE NOT WORKING!!!! NOT EVEN THE CARGO LIFT!!!

Options we had:
1) Wait for the lift to operate. However, we had no idea on how long that would take. And we could end up being VERY late for the meeting.
0r
2) Walk down the stairs. And perhaps be only slightly late for the meeting.

What choice does one have when we are the ones visiting the client??? We are left with only Option 2.

In my 3-inches stilettos, i walked down from the 34th floor to the 23rd. But i felt that it was taking up much precious time, so i took off my shoes and continue to proceed downstairs barefooted. In total, it took us near 10 mins.

By the time, we met the client, it was 3.35pm. Luckily, he was a very nice fella.

However, inside his room, wearing my jacket, after rushing down the stairs and across the road to his office tower... As i was sitting there, my sweat steadily dripped onto my jacket.

Embarrassingly, i had to take out my tissue and wipe away the sweat. A few times.

This is my first client visit and it is definitely not a memorable experience. I really wonder what first impression does the client has of me.

Am i unlucky or what!?

ps: I'm so weak... My legs and hips muscles are aching once again...

My colleague, C.V. writes beautiful poems and letters of God. And i wish to keep it in this blog, so that in the future, i can have easy access to it.

If you would be interested in reading, i've categorized it under the label "Loving God".

Words from a colleague

"There are all kinds of people in this society and you must accept that you have to manage different folks with different strokes.

There will be down days and happy days. Give thanks for both because the former will mould you if you handle it with the right spirit,

And the latter is a reward to weather the down days. :)

- S.V."

Words from a colleague. Thanks.

VPost

.
I ordered items from Victoria Secrets with Sheryce. Thought VPostUSA is cheaper than other freight companies.

Actual Weight: 4.4kg
Vol. Weight: 9.7kg (the dimensions of the box)
And they charge by whichever is higher!!!

BLOODY HELL!!! I feel so cheated. Each kg is additional S$9 on top of a base charge of S$13.
And the vol. weight is freaking double of the actual weight!!!

I do not dare to calculate the total amount. Even though UOB credit card holders are eligible for 12% discount off shipping charges.

Money going out faster than i can say byebye.
My purse hurts. And my heart too. Do you know that with those money, I am able to buy more skin/face care products?

I hope they have a bloody good explanation to my email for them.

help... Dear must never know of this. He's already quite pissed by my recent online shopping activities.
