Errrgghh...

Two and a half hours later, I emerge from the conference room. That's how long the personal evaluation took. I am amazed that my boss could do this with everyone else in the office and not look completely wiped out. It was absolutely draining. These are like, one on one evaluations that are taking hours each.

But I got my raise and all is well with the world today.

On a more bitter note, I have had my 8th taste of bittergourd and I'm actually starting to like the stuff. But then again, if everything else is tasteless (yong tau foo with mostly tau foo and clear soup), the bittergourd is like a little resuscitator for my taste buds, just to prove they're not numb. So we'll see. Still 3 more times to go before I'm supposed to like it.

We had the little IJ reunion at my house yesterday - very little - just Stace, Lynda and I, spouses and children. Made beef spaghetti stragonoff, Stace brought Lychee Martini ice cream from The Daily Scoop and Lynda brought Royce chocolate. The best thing about being the host is you get to keep all the leftover food and dessert :)

In all, it was a nice weekend but now my back aches from carrying The Son everywhere.
