Black & White Bash

Last Sunday this hermit shed her shell and actually went for the Medical Department's Black and White Bash...Pang and Sharon asked me to go...so i thought what the heck...as it is i hardly have time to meet them...so it was worth braving agoraphobia to get a chance to have dinner with them...

I was actually post call on Sunday...it was an amazingly good Saturday call actually...considering that i was on call with boss...i hardly had to call him...so i went to church after morning round...then went for lunch with Becky at Suria Sabah...the new addition to KK's overload of retail shopping...the place was still almost empty...but i still managed to buy a pair of sandals and two books...yes, i bought Lewis Carroll's Alice Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking Glass...:)...haven't start reading them yet though...coz i promised that i'll only read them after i finish one folder of boss' notes...

Came home and slept for an hour...then had to get up and get ready for the dinner...Pang and Sharon came to pick me up but they were early, so i had to rush with my make-up...thank God i didn't look like i had panda eyes...Pang told me the dress code was smart casual..of course most ladies (and at least half of the men) who attended the dinner were dressed up till the nine...good thing i didn't listen to Pang and wore jeans and t-shirt...

The event was quite fun actually...the performances were quite good...there was this HO who could have given Celine Dion a run for her money...her voice was so powerful...one of the Medical MO also sang very well too...she was Lady Gaga of the night...food wasn't too bad...and it was good to be at the same table with Pang, Sharon, Yau Piow and Wendy and their daughter Amy...it was such a joy to watch Amy running around happily...

Well, i supposed it was good for hermits like me to stay in contact with the real world...i can't be living in my own world only...

O&G-GA Night 2009

I'm not on call this weekend...Hallelujah!!! thank you Hoe for being so kind to me...and co-incidentally, Ana V bugged me to go to the O&G-GA Night organized by the Likas Hospital...which was held last night....being the anti-social hermit i am, my first reaction was not to go...but since i haven't attended a social event for ages, i eventually got the better of me and decided to go anyway....i wouldn't really be going alone coz Grace and Karen would be there too...i need to be surrounded by comfort zone/people....

The theme for that night was body art and tattoo...and incidentally, i have 2 temp tattoos with dolphin designs on hand...so didn't bother hunting for new ones...dinner was supposed to start at 6pm...but i only finished working out about 5pm...after bathing, tried putting on one of the temp tattoo on my arm... unfortunately, that got ruined...it didn't stick to my arm...so it was patchy...crap!! had to rub it off...then put the other one on my left chest just above the breast...thank goodness that one stuck well...if not, i would have been tattoo-less...so finally after rushing through make-up, i was ready at 10 minutes to 7pm...

I messaged Grace to ask if she was there already...she replied that she was just about to leave her house also...hahahaha...Malaysian time to the max...by the time we reached the restaurant, people were still streaming in...good thing i didn't rush to get ready...the event started about 730pm i think... it was really fascinating looking at other people's tattoo and body art...face painting and body painting....i thought i was the only one with dolphin tattoo...then i saw the big boss' kid with nicer dolphin tattoo on his arm....i want!!!

The performances were very entertaining...and the bosses and HOs were very cool about performing impromptu...these people really love to dance...and the last performance was absolutely gastric-perforating...i totally laughed till my stomach almost burst...they were performing this song by Wondergirls titled "Nobody"...i think it's some Korean group or something...but the HOs who were performing it were male HOs...hahahahaha...good thing they didn't dress up as drags...that would have been icing to the cake...

Oh, and i actually won something from the lucky draw...usually, i have no luck at lucky draws...i think i've only won once previously....but last night, when one of the boss was picking the numbers, i actually said silently, "come on, pick my number"...and lo...my number was called!!!...i guess dolphins do bring luck huh? i got RM100 vouchers from Parkson...nice!! can go shoppping...:) so i guess i was glad i went for this dinner...i supposed the hermit needs to get out from her shell once in a blue moon...then again, i have 2 wedding dinners to attend on the 3rd and final week of November...a bit overwhelming for yours truly...but since i love attending friends' weddings...i guess i'll have to brave the masses....
