Miss me? Lol.

Lately haven't been blogging. And many friends have been complaining about my blog being stagnant. ごめんね。Ever since I got back from Spain and Portugal, I've been trying to overcome the jet lag. And before I could really get over the time difference, I had to start work. And yes, surprise surprise! I've been sleeping early everyday! Haha...
Last Sunday was Duan-wu jie. Was wrapping dumplings at my aunt's place. The night before, due to jet lag, I couldn't sleep and in the end only slept for an hour. Then on Sunday, we wrapped like 400+ dumplings, using 18kg of rice and other ingredients! By the time I reached home, my brain was half-unconscious. I immediately bathed, prepared for the next day (1st day of work) and collasped on my bed at 10.30pm. I was totally out by 10.45pm. Yes! It is a record! the earliest in like dunno how many years! Probably even a decade! I couldn't believe it myself. And I've been sleeping before 12.45am everyday during weekdays. Haha...yes, it could be a wonder to alot of you, but Clarinda has changed. Haha...
So yup, that kinda explains my lack of entries these few weeks.
Work has been ok. It's been only a week. Been waking up at 6.15am everyday (another miracle). But I think that I've gotten used to the timing already. Both Saturday and Sunday I actually automatically woke up but forced myself back to sleep. Haha. There's nothing much to do yet for now. My laptop hasnt arrived yet, so I've been doing things by hand. Yes, the conventional way. Paper, pen, pencil and ruler to do tables which is actually supposed to be done on an excel sheet! Do alot of translating with my half-broken Japanese too. Lol. Then have to write a 感想文 everyday. They are using that to train me to write reports and proposals in Japanese. So it's a good thing but difficult coz of stupid keigo. So basically that's it for work so far. Still trying to get used to it and praying for my laptop to come quick! Shows how much technology has infiltrated into our lives.
Met up with Liyan on Wednesday where she said I looked old. Met up with Wendy on Friday where she said my clothes were loud! And finally met up with Hirai and py for a dumpling party yesterday before meeting up with tatami for Jumbo dinner! Tatami treated us! Yay! And then Hirai and py bought durain puffs and cakes from Goodwood Park Hotel. Yumm... Ok, except me. Come on, havent gotten my first paycheck yet, k. Haha.. My time will come. They are already discussing where to spend my paycheck. Lol. And then there was this whole conversation about Hirai and py being eichi and about seeing hirai's arms and dunno why, tatami having my cleavage... -_-''' Basically everyone was like crazy. Haha.
Well, will blog about my trip soon and show tons of pictures. Tata!
