Monday and Tuesday was a holiday on my side of the world. Wooohooo for the long weekend. Saturday night was spent at work. Worked from 8am til 12noon, then back to work again from 5pm til 12 midnight. It wasn't so bad. 5pm-12midnight work was spent doing this:
Foam Party event at work. As part of the sales and marketing team we had to make sure the event was a hit, that people came to our event.
2 of my Facebook friends actually went to the event. Woohooo. Thank goodness for Facebook, it really does help promote events and things.
At the registration table.
The clock hits 12:15am, I am feeling a bit tipsy after so much cocktails and I am feeling so pooped. Would love to go home already.
Sorry for the photos, they were taken from my cellphone.
Sundate with my Family. I had a special burger date with the fam bam on Sunday.

The Bad:
Working on Monday and Tuesday, while everyone was enjoying their long long weekend, I was working all alone by myself. I don't mind working over long weekends, at least the office is not crowded, it is quiet and I can get a lot of stuff done. Can you imagine working in a small office where there are 6 girls, three computers, 2 calculators and only about 2 or 3 pens, and two phones? So yeah, the office gets pretty crazy when we are all in there, someone takes my pen and I end up taking someone else's pen, I calculate some stuff, someone get a phone call and grabs my calculator and I haven't even jotted down the numbers. So yeah, working on a holiday is so so, good thing is I get stuff done, bad thing is no long weekend for me.
The Scary:
Last week I heard some creepy stuff was happening in my office. The guy who was working graveyard was surprised to hear my office door barge open. A strong gust of wind blew from my office door. Then the guy was all like, "if there are any ghosts in here, please let me know, make some noise". Then 5 seconds later the machine that checks our attendance (bio clock machine, we press the finger scanner and it takes our attendance) suddenly says "Please try again!" The machine normally does this when an unregistered finger is pressed down the scanner. So anyhow, creepy right?
Like I said, I was working alone for the long weekend. I was calculating some stuff. After all the calculations and whatnot, I cleared the calculator and went about checking some files. Then all of a sudden, I hear a typing noise. I got goosebumps and for some reason I had a gut feeling that I needed to check my calculator. And well...voila...My calculator had tons of numbers! Woah! Scarrrry!
So yeah, that pretty much sums up my random post about the good, the bad , and the scary.

Hi Mel!
it's been so long since I visited, and I see a lot has been happening! You look fabulous!!!
I fully understand how you felt working all by yourself. I experienced this before too. Totally scary being alone in the office!
Take care,
((hugs))

CREEPY!!!!
But aahhh look at that ice-cream. :P
Whoa!!!!!
I got goosebumps just reading this!
I should also add - choc ice cream with m&ms mmmmmmmm
See, I was right, I weighed myself this morning and I've gained weight. I blame you and all your food Mel! lol.
I love these pictures, you guys seem to have had a blast, I adore going out with my friends and that foam party seems like super fun. Your blog is lovely and I'm a new follower! Hope you'll like my blog and follow back!

I am surprised that your office has so few pens.
I just started at a new company recently. Throughout the day, every now and then I would hear this clicking sound. I thought it was someone moving their mouse from one place and setting it onto another place on the desk. But then I realized the sound was heard when I was working late hours when no co-workers are present at the moment. That was weird.
The thought of ghosts did come across my mind but I dismissed it. I believe that ghosts would move around more and make noises at different spots. This comes from the same spot all the time. It has to be something mechanical. One day my co-worker told me that it was the building settling. According to him, we are in a tall building, and as temperature changes throughout the day, the expansions of different parts of the building due to heat is uneven, so every now and then, it needs to "settle" and makes that noise in the process. I don't know if that's true, but that's one possible explanation.
I love the idea of foam parties, but I'm always scared to attend one. Doesn't it wreck your clothes?
Also, that story about your office? Creepazoid. Are you sure no one's worked themselves to death in the recent past?
Hi Mel! My husband keeps talking about these foam parties he is dying to go to one. I have to admit it does look like fun!
and I have some advice - Never talk to ghosts. If you pay attention to them they will just start to mess with you!
Wow! Amazing party. I'm hungry after seeing this pics.

At least you weren't bored :-) It was a busy weekend. I'm new to your blog and had a really great tome browsing through your earlier posts. You've created a great spot for your readers to visit and I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
Oh my gosh!!! I haven't been to a foam party in FOREVER!
whoa what a fun evening filled with friends, food, and treats!!
thanks for stopping by feast.fashion.faves, the powershot looks amazing, but my mother recently bought me the Nikon CoolpixL110....and my boyfriend and I were looking into the DSLR for the next investment, even though it's a lot bulkier, heavier, and draws more attention. I think it would just get a better perspective on what images I am trying to capture for my blog. but we went to the camera store today and played around w/some DSLRs and fell in love with the Canon EOS 7D...it has a metal body(def heavy), and would be perfect for capturing high action/speed/performance activities for my bf...so I'm stuck, also like the 60D....didn't look at any Nikons. 7D is the best to go for high performance, and I would never have to re-sell or trade in..aaah..

thank you so much for the sweet comment about my hair & makeup - compliments like that absolutely make my day :)
and i can't believe they don't have all the flavors they have here over there at starbucks. i don't understand - shouldn't they have all the same things at all the different starbucks? hopefully soon they'll get it for you over there - i love cinnamon dulce lattes! but what i'm really excited about is the pumpkin spice latte!
hope you're having a good day.

You guys are so cute! I hate working alone. It seems like scary stuff happens to me too!
Aww, love the foam party! Looks like a great time but after that long day, I'd be tired too!!
Love all of these! (apart from the scary, I hate ghosts) x hivenn
Omg I got goosebumps just reading this!! Mmm that ice cream looks A-MAZ-ING!!!
Omg your office is definitely haunted!! I wouldn't mind if mine was as long as I never had to work there alone. The paranormal fascinates me but I don't think I'd have the guts to be ALONE in the same room as a ghost. Hah.
i love your blog so much and you look absolutely gorgeous in all your pictures! please do another blog post soon! wedding makeup artist Sydney, bridal makeup artist Sydney
