Oops... Yesterday didn't come back online to blog about Saturday's outing because I slept till 9.30 p.m. then went back to sleep again at 12 midnight. I was woke up this morning at 10+ a.m. by a call from KG regarding a job offer. I got the contacts and called them and in 2 hours time, I was confirmed and will be starting work tomorrow. Oh ya.. yesterday when I was out with my parents I saw Famous Amos trying to hire a full/part time worker at the Specialist Centre. My younger brother wanted me to join (I was thinking about it then too) so that I can learn how to bake the cookies like them but my mom relented due to the time I needed to travel from home to Somerset. Moreover, I don't think that working part-time there I would be able to know the whole recipe and stuff becasue it's like the company's secret.

I got complimentary tickets to Dick's Lee "Man of Letters" musical all thanks to Hui Fang. Went out of the house at around 11.45 a.m. to meet YL to collect the tickets from Hui Fang because she's working in Orchard. That was like the fourth time I stepped onto Orchard Road in two weeks. After collecting the tickets, did a brief shopping in HMV becasue YL wanted to buy some classical CD. I saw the "My Girl and I" DVD and wanted to buy but didn't know if it will work on the computer so I decided not to buy in case I couldn't play it.
After that we head to UCC for the play at 3pm. We reached there half an hour earlier and when we stepped in we were soon approached by 3 people asking if we were there for the tea. I guess YL and me had blank looks on our faces that they asked again and added one more phrase: "Here for the tea or the play?". Haha.. When we said for the play the people were kind of embarrassed and we walked away quickly. Took part in a short survey for the musical and had a go at a little lucky dip. The lady in front of us won a bottle of fragrance water (those types used in the olden days, can be still found in some shophouses). Next came YL turn, she won a face towel, those white ones and very cheap types. I suggested that she can bring that home and use it as a table cloth ^_^. My turn came and I got something sweet... 2 pieces of rabbit sweets, those milk ones.. Haha.. After that, the theatre hall allowed entry and we waited inside for the musical to begin. the whole play was about 2 hours with a 15 minutes interval. The musical was good. If I have another chance to go to another musical, I would not hesitate to say yes.
After the musical, we rushed down to Causeway point to meet up with some college classmates. And as usual Daniel is late again. After waiting for everyone to reach, we went to buy the tickets for "Over the Hedge" and then went for dinner at Pastamania. I got the Ocean Baked Pasta. I think it was a little too watery but overall was okay. I also had Italian Soda, strawberry flavoured. I didn't know it was such a big cup but it was fizzy and not too cloyingly sweet. The movie was great. I like Hammy (the squirrel) the best. He's an affectionate little guy and hyper fast and active. You should go watch it and see what happens towards the end when he drank caffine.
