Decorating a Blue Day...

Ok, so I have been feeling blue for more than a day. 2 weeks in fact.

Firstly, a close colleague who has been a good friend has left to return to the states rather suddenly. We had a roaring gals' night out where we went for 3-4 rounds of drinks on the last day of last week's meetings which was also her last day in Singapore. We proceeded for dinner at another colleague's house where she whipped up some grand Filipino dishes which were just divine. More drinks while we waited for dinner and took turns on the Magic Mike. I wasn't really up for singing my heart out before dinner so was rocking myself on the banana bed while the others were trying to outdo each other's score on the Mike.

We made fun of the people we didn't like at the office (aka "Bruno"), and sniffed at all the bottles of spices and sauces that our hostess brought out so that we could investigate her recipes and discussed about the different ways of cooking each particular dish... very much girl talk stuff.

Of course, it was more time on the Magic Mike and before we knew it, it was time to present our going away gift, a photo frame, with photos of our escapades together at company functions & dinners. She made a little speech amidst teary eyes, and we made a pact to meet up 3 years later on the same day no matter where we were...

It was then hugs and goodbyes before we made our way home...
