Hello 2007!
2007 is here, and our office is looking brand new. The pantry is bright lime green, and the main office area where we work, is now egg yellow. Pretty funky, if I say so myself… as the chief designer.
We (the management) also decided that we should reward ourselves for a year that was well earned… and hence, all of us have new pcs, with LCD monitors. Even the minions that toil for us (shan) got a new one. Needless to say, my pc is the most stylo-mylo one…Gitanjali got the left-ovr pc (after we all changed to new ones), so she's happy too
As you may have gathered from shan’s blabbering in December, we were on leave. Hence the silence. You suffered I know…
What to do? Everybody needs to take the whole of December off. Obviously, it is a month that was tagged on to the end of the calendar, so that everyone could take some time off (to forget the horrors that have passed), and approach the new year in a blissful haze.
Then you sort of stroll through January, up to about Chinese New Year, after which you come back, and BAM! It hits you right between the eyes, and you’re stuck eyeball deep in the swampy nightmare of the rest of the year, trying to keep afloat, and learning to breathe with your hair… and then November will be here, after which, yay! December again…
Don’t worry though. Despite the break, we managed to continue eating and snacking and sleeping just fine, and are now back in the here and now of 2007, slightly heavier, than when we left 2006. This is partly due to the extra poundage accumulated during our annual year end bash, which this year was a lunch at the Shangrila’s famous buffet (see post below).
To combat this fat, we have heralded in the inaugural MS weight watching competition, which carries 2 super duper titles.
The competition starts tommorrow, when all participants will be weighed in.
The 1st Title is that of, Ms. Champion Weight Loser - judging will be in July 2007, and a sum of RM50.00 each will be paid out by each participant to the adjudged winner. Ms is disqualified from competing for this title.
The 2nd Title is that of, Ms. Keeping it Off - and in this category, judging will be done on a monthly basis up to November 2007, to ascertain each participants' weight. The participant who has lost the weight and maintained the loss, wins. We don't seem to have agreed on a prize for this yet, but will post it here once the same is established. Ms has vowed to win this, so let's see ok.
PS: betting is allowed, so long we get a cut ;)
