It was also a good opportunity that Pearly came out at night. Being a full-time mummy of 2, her schedule is packed to the brim. Her sons went for a party and she went for hers. After our discussion, we went shoe hunting. Initially, I thought it was her who was looking for a pair of shoes. After awhile, I realized that she was looking for a pair of shoe for me - EARLY birthday present. We couldn't find any so we made our way to Menotti for coffee. Didn't get to drink or have any dessert since their famous don't-know-what was out of stock. Well, made our way home and Pearly fetched Carol & Jan home and we both decided to continue with Teh Tarik.
A rare outing at NIGHT
Today while I was trying to manage 4 little children, Pearly called me asking me what type of heels I like. I was touched really. Yet, I was also struggling to manage the 4 children since they were fighting. Next thing I knew, she called me and told me she's on my way to my office. When she arrived, I just couldn't talk to her at all cause I had a child ran away from me. I was trying to stay really calm as I had another 3 children following behind me. It was really a good thing Pearly came cause she helped me with those 3 while I get busy with 1. After awhile, I decided to get my boss down & it was quite dramatic. That was in the afternoon. I had another same scenario in the evening. Took about an hour to settle.
When boss and I sat down to process the whole situation, he told me "Sandra, I think we have scared your friend. She looked traumatized when she saw me.". Haha!!! Well, today was the first time a friend of mine see me in action at work. Haaa!!!!
Anyway, it was more than a full-day of work for me today. When I returned home, the conversations with Pearly & the gift she got for me finally settled in. It's not only a very nice gift... but a gift that's bought with much thought as it was supposed to be all-matching. More importantly, I appreciate the effort because this girl's already very very tired yet she went out of her comfort zone.
