Week 47.5

End of Week 5, so I’ve bummed long enough and it actually got me carried away with stuffs. Met SV for consultation on research topic and was caught unprepared. Couldn’t come out with a research question, kept changing my mind, couldn’t settle with a narrowed down topic. Additionally, starting to have sleep problems, has its pros and cons though. It means I’m starting to think and work on stuffs again, with the added personal stuffs to handle. I am however looking forward to doing the research topic and write my dissertation, with fingers crossed that everything would go on smoothly.

Had company annual dinner at a Chinese restaurant, two round tables, Chinese style of course. Got acquainted with the less stringent side of the bosses, and their partners. Twas good to have a good laugh during the dinner. Apart from being rushed by the waiters and waitresses after every dish, everything was well. Funniest event of the night would’ve been when the waiter had said “Anyone want more soup? The next table has no more soup.” And I thought I was drunk or I had heard wrongly although I didn’t even drink a sip of wine that was passed around the table. But he said it twice and my Sales Manager caught it too, noticed her when we caught eyes and she too had a confused look on her face. Then we both started to laugh out loud, because it was really unbelievable. How does one offer more soup when there was none left?

And…. I may have not been able to keep my one gadget a year target after all. Am about to break the practice because it’s simply tempting to just click the Checkout button to just grab the gadget that I want. But then again I’m always indecisive especially when it comes to buying things when I have not had enough information – in this case, I haven’t found out the price of the item at home, AND still am not a keen shopping for expensive items online. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.
