I just realised that my book Roots is about 30 years old ! Anyway, colleague who went to the States found me dvd on the series ! Made me real happy. Was S$62 with the taxes in & it is the 30th anniversary edition with extras. Heh...we've started watching already. Was up intrigued till 3am this morning ! Awesome. Hubby saw the audio tapes at Borders which was S$70, couldn't find dvd or cd or even the book anywhere. Glad I kept the latter :>

There were weird people at the gala premiere. The general public I mean & it is to be expected. Arggghhhhh ! Everything went well. A couple of disgruntled public who weren't allowed into the private party area but it is a "private party"....sigh. One lady kept peppering us with questions, where is the star, what time she is coming, how old, where she is staying, what movie...then one guy armed with camera wouldn't go away, wants to meet her personally. Though I was taking care of our chairman, I didn't even get to meet her personally. So duh !!! I had my 5 mins of fame on the red carpet lol. Then at the end of the evening when we re-opened to the public, our buffet line was attacked by the public which was no surprise. They happily helped themselves, no invitation needed. I am sure by the next morning, our congratulatory bouquets of flowers would have been stripped naked. Then while we were hanging around waiting for the premiere to end, we saw a very young couple seated at our internet kiosk area smooching like no tomorrow. Gross lah !

Some re-org in our org structure but no shuffling. Just re-defining some sections. Not major. My department remains unchanged.

Took half day off on Friday to help hubby with kids' wall shelving.
Fixed up the kiddos' new desks. Very nice. Ryan's wall shelving was done yesterday & it looks good. Moved the furniture in his room a little. Sarah's shelving will be done tomorrow as hubby is involved with NDP thingy today.

School starts on Monday ! Ryan just went off to cut his hair & I re-coloured Sarah's. She had it highlighted during the hols which isn't allowed at school so have re-coloured the whole head a dark mahogany. Turned out okay.

Gonna continue with Roots.

Lament for the day : Slight migraine...aiya that time of the month grrrrrrrrrrrrr.
