Furla

I had a surprise waiting for me on Tuesday morning. As usual, I woke up at 7, go back to sleep again and let the snozzle ring for like 5 times before I reluctantly woke up at 7.45. My snozzle is set 9 minutes apart, so its like I woke up at 7, sleep back, woke up at 7.09 then sleep back again. You get the idea. Its my routine. Can't seem to beat the sleeping monster. Took 15 minutes to prepare and then went out.

While going to the bus stop, my manager sms me to go on his behalf to the Furla launch at Ngee Ann City. I was like huh? Its so last minute but then its good to see how a launch looks like. I was imagining there would be models holding Furla bags walking on the catwalk in a hall kind of thing. I rush to my workplace at Raffles Place then took a taxi down to Ngee Ann City.

When I reached there, I saw a buffett set up outside the Furla store with many people mingling around. I looked around, no models! Just lots of people whom I don't know. My first thought was what am I suppose to do?! Well.... I did saw 2 colleagues from merchant sales, 1 is the Head the other our OCBC model. I just looked and smile at them cos I dont really know them. So I just look around the store, admiring the leather handbags, watches, accessories which ONLY women can use them.

I thought to myself maybe I will wonder around for another 15 minutes before leaving. But luckily my manager did come afterall together with another colleague, I also saw my Head there. He told me usually this kind of launch is for people to mingle around. He say I should absolutely need to try the food here, things like cavier which you dont get to eat often and some meat wrap in cucumber. After trying those food, I still prefer my bee hoon with egg and laucheon meat with tomato sauce.

Kit Chan was there too, Xiangyun and Kok Cheng Mun. Kok Cheng Mun look really different, she now spots a short hair cut and look like a upper social class person. Oh yah when I went there, I was like folding up my sleeves to my elbow and wearing my OCBC lanyard tuck in my front pocket. I actually wanted to wear a tie but my colleague in office told me not to. Everyone there was quite classy, wearing long sleeves or coat.

I guess next time I will just wear more formal just in case. Overdress is better than underdress.
