A very tiring Tuesday *Yawn Yawn*

I am super tired today, my eyelips could not bring themselves to be lifted up today, and I see eyebags! A late Sunday night from attending the Channel 8's 45th anniversary event, following by a company annual dinner last night which ended at about 2200 hours, it proved to be a stress. My face features are showing the after effects symptoms already.

Dinner of 5 tables was held at Orchard Hotel's Lavendar 2 ballroom, with a Chinese wedding going on just at the opposite Orchard Grand Ballroom. Kind of a bad arrangement as the reception is just facing our ballroom and guests are a bit confused as to whether the settings of standing tall tables with peanuts and drinks are for which side of the guests.

The dinner was good, with courses of dishes such as cold dish comprising of tempura prawns / fish cake scallops / baby squids / jelly fish strips / thin slices of tender roasted duck, thick sharks fin soup with big chuncks of crab meat, big fresh scallops on simmered veggies, big dry scallop too on another dish, steamed fish, E-fu noodles and so on. Services were good, our plates were changed after each dish, serving staff were pleasantly polite. One bad point would be the E-fu noodles, it was badly done and soggy with gravy, look really unpleasant.

Another highlight of the night, the lucky draw prizes which were a disappointment. With 18 prizes going from a pair of movie tickets, 4 tickets to the Singapore Flyer, $30 voucher to Ben and Jerry Ice-cream, F&B vouchers to Taiwan Porridge and $250 Starhub vouchers, etc. I am totally thankful that I have won much better prizes elsewhere.

The washroom for the ladies, it was lovely done up and well maintained. We brought along 2 cartons of red wine and they were finished up by our guys, quite a few were tipsy so we guessed most of them would be late in reaching the office the next day. Atmosphere were great, everyone were joyful and enjoying themselves.

Today, I ended up really tiring and hope I don't doze off... must go for more tea and coffee to brace myself up eventhough they don't seem to have any effect in keeping me awake even when I took them before sleep...
