Out of School!
it's been awhile since i had the chance to get out of school for half a day for a briefing. and what better time to do that when your partner for the briefing is a friend you've been wanting to catch up with? i kinda volunteered to go for the briefing, partly because of who's going and partly because i wanna know what's going on. the former playing the larger part of the equation.
anyhow, i've no idea why, but i was so happy to be going to the post office! went to send the birthday present for my ex-om who's accompanying her hubby all the way in jordon. it was kinda exciting having the whole post office to yourself and the staff there being so helpful to you! ok cheap thrill i know. but still, i think i like the feeling of mailing stuff. so people overseas who i know, be prepared to receive stuffs. haha well i will try. so got that done, bought some postcards and stamps for my postcrossing project, posted 2 postcards and i felt totally accomplished. i'm so easily satisfied.
then headed for lunch with chris at 鼎泰奉 where we had the usuals (at least for me) - xiao long bao, fried rice with pork chop & spinach with garlic. decided to try the dessert of mango pudding on crushed ice and it was pretty good with real mango pieces found in the pudding! what a nice ending to a lovely and yummy lunch (thanks for the treat!). mango now always remind me of my time in hong kong and taiwan. so i just need to eat something with mango to transport myself back in time :)
dropped by sistic to collect shirl's and moo's boeing boeing tix and went on to teachers' network for the ict briefing. i was mainly there to find out more about the ict funding and to get first-hand info on how the ict in school is going to be changing. the changes they are going to make are a little exciting and definitely a big project. but it wouldn't really affect the users much. only those doing the procurements will most likely be affected. another big change is the email system of p, vp and am. no more lotus notes! we'll be using outlook express and this new system is called SOEasy (pronounced "so easy", and no, i'm not kidding). maybe the person who came up with the name had a sense of humour, i'm not sure, but i certainly found it kinda amusing.
the briefing was from 2.30pm to 6pm. i tot it will end early, as most briefings always do. but no, this one had to stretch all the way till 6pm >.< and i tot maybe i could have some time to do a little shopping in town. so it was time to go home and i can't believe i managed to stand on the bus for almost a whole hour (but the hr was spent just chatting and gossiping so it was great!), then take the train and later still have the energy to climb the overhead bridge back home (given that i was really tired and didn't have much sleep the night before due to world cup finals). this is a really good sign! i'm feeling all ready to conquer the world again! ^^
