Eventful Weekend

All right... I am now totally buckered, bushwhacked and doggone tired... It's been a long time since I stayed up two nights in a row, but I did that this weekend... and I really have no choice but to admit that I'm old. :) And... although I did have fun, am so glad that the events of the the weekend are finally over!!!

Friday was Dinner n Dance, and to those members of the DnD com that actually read my blog, guys: am glad we pulled it off, no matter the comments!!! Must admit that I was slightly nervous about this Dinner n Dance, after all, us, the organising committee, never ever had a full attendance during our meetings. Usually, this spells trouble, and I think that nearing the week, tensions were running high as very few people actually knew what they were supposed to be doing that day! Amazingly, I think that everyone finally did get their act together, and all in, we did the best that we could. Of coz there were the usual screw ups, emcee coming late, no rehearsal, etc, etc... but obviously nothing that could not be handled by an effective, organised committee... haha!

Was fretting terribly on Friday coz I had nothing to wear. Yes, I know I bought a dress for the event, but beng the usual me, I chickened out at the last minute, and decided on wearing a simple black shapeless but comfortable number instead. Had this fear that I would end up wearing the same dress as a hundred other gals, but I should have realised that I come from a company of gals who could really "dress", pun intended... so no fears that there were others who would have wanted to hide behind a curtain.

Sat came, and it was my first ever ZoukOut! I confess that I have never really entertained the idea of going to such an event, and although I doubt that I'll ever go again, must say that I did enjoy myself. After five years, the queue management was still rather pathetic, and I really wished I took a photo of the toilets! In my humble opinion, the event organizer should really look into the toilet situation next year... coz it really actually has an impact on their revenue. :) Simple logic: the worse the toilet condition, the less people would like to visit the toilet, the less people drink, the less the revenue.

All in though, it was rather fun seeing my colleagues party away... and, since we were all at the Mambo tent, it was really like seeing how they behaved 10 years ago when they visited Mambo.. hee, some things just never change. Took the opportunity to catch up on some gossip, get to know some new people, and to hone my dancing skills.

Highlight of my weekend though was the two hours that I spent at Kinokuniya! They were having a 20% discount... and I just went slightly crazy, poring over the different books, searching for what I wanted. Pure bliss... left with seven books, and of coz a significant damage to my pocket. :)

But now that all the activity is over, and miraculously, I am not suffering from any aching muscles, I am seriously looking forward to spending the next weekend quietly, at home, reading my books, and of course, finishing those Christmas cards!
