Stress!

21 Jan (Thu) - It was a pressurizing day at work as well as for the ROM preparations.

Henry got a call from Joanne saying that another couple was looking at the same date - 24 May! If we are keen, we have to be quick in deciding. Everything came in the late morning and it was really frustrating to make a haste decision, especially an important one in your life amid the piling workload.

We pushed the responsibility to each other and nearly came to a quarrel. Not wanting to aggravate the situation further, we both hung up and I volunteered to look through the contract again, clarify some issues with Joanne and make a decision during my lunch time.

I made some changes to the menu once again, not being very satisfied with the food offered to us. Finally, I confirmed with Joanne that we will be meeting her on Saturday to sign the contract.

22 Jan (Fri) - JOanne sent the revised menu to us promptly. This time round, I am rather pleased with the replacements like waldorf salad, chicken kebab, canapes, toffee crumble and more importantly, free flow of Rochester blend coffee and tea for our caffeine-addicted friends and relatives!
