The Adventures of Happie Guppy!: More Lo Heis!

Late night conference calls suck.
Ive been home for the past few nights - on long winded time consuming conference calls - for work. The key take aways I have from these calls are :

1. why is it WE have to accomodate Your timezone? 9pm conference call that stretches till 1130pm? really is that a nice thing to do?

2. why do chinese people, who are obviously smart, experienced, astute business people..FEEL THE NEED TO SLANG. adopt an accent when speaking with angmos?!

3. Its really tiring and a pain to have conf calls that involve one particular person that LOVES the sound of his voice...

4. i need to remind myself why im working...BILLS BILLS BILLS..

check out my dinner for one shlop... everything thrown in a pot chicken stew and rice for one...boohoo...two nights in a row...somebody pllease take me out for dinner! Only made me miss the feasts with friends, CNY dinner at home cooked by mommy, dinner at restaurants with friends...or just MCR dinners at moomoos...o woe is me *wails*

Guppies Love Yummy Yusheng!

Guitarman Anth

After dinner, Anth dug up an old unused classic style guitar from moo's lift lobby..apparently it belonged to auntie irene, who had the itch YEEAARRSS ago to learn to play the guitar..someone gave it to auntie irene but i guess the itch fizzled out and the guitar was just left untouched for years..

It was old, the strings were broken, But it was amazing. Anth could still strum a few cool tunes, he plucked my fav "tears in heaven" made me wanna learn to play the guitar too...sigh..

neeways auntie irene gave the guitar to Anth ..and as i was typing this blog, anth happily live messengered me to tell me : "remember to mention the guitar auntie gave me... update everyone by saying I restring it with silver plated strings! "
