Work's been pretty quiet for the past one week or so, which is really goooood. Our Friday actually started on a Thursday as it was Sherrie's leaving dinner and we all went to this Turkish restaurant, Haz near Liverpool Street. The kebab I had was good but everyone had too much to drink esp after Mark ordered a round of Raki, some potent Turkish alcohol for everyone and (ewww it tasted horrible btw) after dinner, I had to pick up ah Boon n Jingyi to go home while they adjourned to another pub.
I was quite surprised to see that both of them were rather drunk themselves! Jingyi met his colleagues and started boozing with them from 2pm and then evening they met ah Boon's colleagues who too, brought them out drinking together with some brokers. "Liquid food" as they call here.. booze, booze and more booze is enough to fill the tummy. Jingyi kept having hiccups and I kept giggling. heehee He was like "I started *hic* drinking since *hic* 2pm... heng *hic* you come and we can *hic* leave earlier... if not *hic* we both will be dead drunk..." before slurring away. heehee
Anyway they were both drunk and hungry but Ah Boon, being the virtuous wife, still managed to cook a bowl of ultra comfort food - Chu Qian Yi Ding (!!) instant noodles for Jinyi. And haha he was still slurring away "I tell you ah *hic* my wife is the best... can cook very fast... *hic* very fast..." wahaha this guy just couldn't stop talking and having hiccups at the same time! heehee
And then on Friday, it was almost the best day in office coz most of the traders were out in Scotland
playing golf with the brokers (damn good life these people have), and so only the juniors were left on the trading floor. My manager was having a really bad hangover from previous night and he pretty much couldn't work (told us he had craving for bacon out of the blue - made me wonder if he is ok) and Sherrie bought a lush choc cake from Paul, plus it's Cyrus' birthday.. so there were loads of sweets and chocs lying around. Everyone pretty much la-la-ed Friday away. whoa if only every friday was like that! And the best part- must stress the best part- by 5.45pm, almost everyone was gone for the day!! The office was like a dead town- totally, completely unimaginable back home.
[And I can remember very fondly the only time I could leave work at 5.45pm in S'pore office was on my first day at work in JPM. The one and only time, simply because... my pc access rights were not ready yet. I even remember asking my manager for permission to leave coz everyone else seems to be just halfway thru the day. How sad rite.]
