Lots of new developments at work. First, I get a new colleague (from Harvard -- somehow, it is a big deal for people here) then the Big Boss announces he will be going off to Saudi Arabia. All I can say (especially without getting into trouble in case some one Googles) is that while management big wigs are rejoicing -- possibly in new, higher paying roles too -- the little ones wonder what will happen to them. His driver spoke to me for more than 20 minutes when I was on my way to lunch, lamenting about what he will do next. We've been told the New Big Boss will retain us in our roles, but there is always a possibility he will not...
In about two weeks time, I will be flying off to China to see the boy's hometown and get to know him better through his native roots. All are ready: gifts, requests, tokens, foodstuff... except me! My usual salons for hair, nails, eyelash, etc are fully booked at evenings and weekends until after CNY. I've not gotten my winter clothes yet and *gee... no nice clothes and not all dolled up would not make a good first (stunning?) impression. I've not melted off those extra pounds either!
There is also the problem of the boyfriend's Valentines present... nothing yet and not at all inspired. Hmnnn... a promise ring might be good... I have not gotten one yet in return for the one he gave me. The only problem is we've been looking for one for a while and have not found anything.
Anyway, end this post, I would like to leave you a dose of airheadedness which started off my day with a laugh. She's an NUS student, and from the same faculty.

I must be very ill-read because I don't understand what does the phrase "Founding President" mean. He founded KAUST? Does that mean he will be leave Singapore for Saudi Arabia? Puzzled.
Nope it just means he's the first President of the Uni.
Oh ok... But why..? Somebody from singapore as a president of a university in SA? Does he have to fly there then...
