Christmas Party

It seems that whenever I buy a Poppy Cock for my colleagues, it's never meant to be. The sky poured the moment I stepped out and I had to cancel my plan to join the office Christmas party.

Now I'm saddled with another Poppy Cock, with the one from last year still in my cupboard.

And I didn't get to see the 2 leaving us at the end of the month. Luckily I attended the farewell.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Free movie thanks to Brother's company!

No time for dinner. Got off work earlier and arrived on time at PS.

Surprises in store, as I have not prepared myself at all. Didn't expect to see Harrison Ford in the movie! Overall, a fun PG-rated movie. Marred by talkative people close to us. How embarrassing.

Dinner was at the foodcourt. Stalls have starting closing already. Luckily, the only stall that I eat there - the Ayam Panggang was still open and has a snaking queue! Mmm so good~

Pre-travel Shopping

Since we are flying budget, overnight, I need a sleeping kit. Qoo10 is the answer when I want something quickly.

Inflatable pillow, eye mask and ear plugs set from CoolStuff6287.

$2.80

I ordered 4 sets on 15 Dec and received within I think 2 days? Very fast delivery!

Angelheart

I thought this manga died halfway? Surprised that it could still be chosen to make a dorama.

Not expecting much of it. Just watching for fun. It's amusing that they managed to find a guy who does look a bit like Ryo. It's heartening to see that they have put effort into sticking to the original story as much as possible.

R and K's Farewell

2 colleagues who have been with us for a long time, are leaving us at the end of the year. R has been with the team even before me. I think he joined just a few months before I did, and K has been around before I went for my surgery. Probably around 2010.

Today, it's their farewell lunch for them at... *drum rolls* Northpoint Swensen's, where else? Super boring, but must give face, when they have taken such good care of me. If I cannot make it for the Christmas party later, I will not see them again.

They are very dependable guys and I'm sad to see them go. For R, I kind of sensed that he's very sian already, especially when J told me that during a chanced encounter, he said that he's sian. And he just got promoted then. Although I seldom see him, I could sense that his heart is not with the project anymore. For that sensation to reach me from so far, must be very bad right?

As for K, well, I guess he has outgrown the project.

I have gone through too many farewells.

Good Deal Alert!

I came across a product on promotion on iHerb.

Travel Insurance

With flights and settled, the next important item to check off is travel insurance. Tenet TravelJoy has been our pet for years, but their competitors have upped their game. Following M's suggestion, I bought MSIG TravelEasy Elite Group. This plan covers all 6 of us for $245.70, which worked out to be $40.95/pax. Coverage and compensation are very similar to Tenet.

Brand loyalty is for the lazy.

Sotong wanted a final holiday before being stuck in Singapore for perhaps forever.
