Steamboat At My House

Saturday
Had a belated birthday celebration for Geargina at my house. Wake up early in the morning to the market to buy the food. Wait till Lester is here, zwe make another trip down to the NTUC supermarket for another round of food. Vacuumed and cleaned up the house to make sure everything is neat and clean.

My mum started to prepare some of the food after 3pm and done by 4pm near 5pm. Manage to catch a short nap before smses coming in to ask me where is my house. Shortly, Serene, Geargina, Suqin, Jackey and Laily came. A total of 7 people altogether. Thank god~ My Ah Pi is still quite friendly that night. If not, I can’t gurantee who’s finger will be bite off. Opps~

Suppose to get move our butts to Carrefour or Bukit Batok Bassar Malam, but was however too late. Ended up playing Monopoly after 10pm till as late as 1:30pm. Hahaha~ It was fun. We trade our properties among each other. Jackey got the very expensive zone of properties, Geargina gets all the 4 train stations, Suqin trying to buy all the lands in the same color zone. Hmm… We only decided to call it a day when nobody is interested in trading their cards.

Sunday
We went to the newly revamp Marina Square. There are still quite a number of shops not occupied yet. Marina Square kinda look younger. A lot of boutiques, restaurants, etc. These will definitely add colors and youth to the whole complex.

We had also been to the Esplanade, there are three stages having music band performances sequentially. Only manage to stay for a while and listen to a couple of songs by this Singapore band, Serenaid. Not bad I would say. But after listening to three songs in a row, they some how sounds the same. Opps~ Maybe I’m not musically trained.

Spend the rest of my day basically sleeping. Wasn’t feeling that well. Have been LS-ing for the past 1 week, slightly feverish. Yucks…

Restructuring

My company has a lot of restructuring. Nicole has just been appointed, William will commenced work near August. Richard is coming in during the December. And only today, i get to know that Saro from the Singapore office is being promoted and will be shifting from Singapore office to Regional.

Work load increase, i foresee… The thought of leaving is still hanging there. Just looking for something to spite me, so that i’m courage-able enough to tender my resignation. I got it all typed half a year ago. See?! Actually, my mind is set long time ago. “Before you asked what the company can give you, think what can you give the company” tagline doesn’t work for me and my company. Shitty company.

Fantastic 4

Saturday
Suppose to wake up at 7:30am to get ready to Lester’s house. We had a date with ‘A Lot Like Love’. But “my alarm” only managed to wake me up at 8:30am. Had MacDonald’s breakfast before the start of the movie. The cinema is empty, only 4 couples scattered in the seats.

A Lot Like Love is pretty touching, but onl the last quarter of the movie is touching. The rest is pretty lengthy and narrative. Yawnz~ Can’t possibly make me sit still in my seat. I folded my legs, lying side ways, all sort of patterns to make myself feel comfortable.

After which, Lester brought his data link for his nokia phone to redeem his 50 bucks back. Yar… He got himself a new phone. !@#$%^&* I played with his new toy, K750i, and i kinda like it, had this temptation to buy. Took a short nap before meeting out with my secondary school friends.

As usual, everybody is late. But Rui Xiang and co manage to reach 1 minute after my arrival. We proceed to the steamboat venue. Shortly, Xiao C, Ding Lun, Sze Li, Jolin and her boyfriend all turned up. We also enjoyed free SAF’s planes formations above our heads and fireworks. Cool~

Due to the time constraint I had, we splited into 2 groups after dinner. Sorry about that… Hope we can catch up again. Heez~ Had some talk with Xiao C and Ding Lun at Tiong Bahru Plaza’s Coffeebean. A lot of recap. But time just flies that fast.

Watched Fantastic 4 at Great World City. Cool… Very funny movie. Most likely to have sequels. Will be looking forward to them.

Sunday
Celebrated Lester’s mum birthday at Kushin-Bo. Hmm… This time round we eat much lesser. But somehow I won’t visit there again in this short period of time. This is the habitual thing bah. The first time you try all food, and subsequently, you only look for food that is good and food that you wanna eat.

Monday
Reformatted my computer because I cannot login to the internet. Stupid problem. I find it disturbing when I need to do all the IT stuff at home. I din use them, but they did. And basically, I can’t leave there more than a week. They will start grumbling.

Tuesday
Lester meet me for lunch at Hans. Heez~ Lovely…

Terry messaged me regarding some web hierarchy thing. Managed to talk a little on the phone after my lunch.

I’m reflecting on the trade that I’m working in: prospects, incomes, my precious work pieces. Yup~ I’m feeling tired of working AGAIN. It’s kinda sucky that you practically work with no passion. But I sense some motivation today. I like that feeling, but I guess it will end after I go home.

War Of The Worlds

Saturday
Caught War of the Worlds at Plaza Singapura. I would say the suspense, thrill and climax is there. But the ending was kinda snip short. It’s another watch-and-forget blockbuster movie. Nachos combo selling at the cinema’s food counter has a new packaging. Less hassle free, dun need to worry about any spillage.

Stroll down Orchard Road and bought quite a bit of lingerie. Many are on promotional sale. Was kinda inspired and motivated after shopping. Graphics may not be all you see on the websites, brochures, cards, and other IT related materials. It can be on the women’s lingerie. Heez~

Not only teenagers will buy those cute cute lingerie, but young ladies from 20 to 30 years above also do. Hmm… If i have such a chance, i would like to try being a lingerie designer as well. Sounds cool eh? Then i can wear what i draw. Hahaha~

We are supposed to have dinner at Taka’s pasta counter. But due to upgrading and renovation, the stall is closed temporary. Kinda miss the pasta now. Linguine + Hoki Fish + Thai Basil sauce. Temporary we will settled on The Sketches at Parco Bugis. Slurp~

Sunday
Woke up quite late in the noon. Play with my ah pi before leaving to Laily’s new house. Hmm… Not that bad as she mentioned, but slightly smaller than her old flats. And by the way, she is now leaving at 26th floor lor. Damn high. Slack my day there bfore i head home. Hahaha~

Monday
Had a meeting with Beaufort Hotel’s senior sales manager. This year office conference will be hosting in Sentosa. And i got my room there too. Heez~ Quite a number of big shots will be here, so i shall be rather busy as well. Somemore, i can go to the Spa Botanica to have my spa treatment. Of course, this is chargeable to my own account. Well… Can’t afford it. Hahaha~

And we will be celebrating Geargina’s 21st birthday the next saturday. Hope to see you guys soon.
PS: Bring Zhi Ming along as well.

eBay

Catherine showed me 1 of the bohemia tops in eBay yesterday. Rather colorful, but it looks good. However, it is slightly costly or on par with the selling price in any boutique shop. Or perhaps, just unwilling to pay the extra bit for the shipping. And the currency is in pounds.

Instead, i look through the jewellery section and eyed for this bracelet. It is kinda special. Love it at the first sight. So i bidded it. Dunno will i get it or not. The bid closes yesterday. But till now, i did not receive any confirmation whether i am honoured enuff to own it. Worst still, the history bid reflects zero.

Drop the seller an email. Hope she can reply to me asap. *Pray pray*

Today is Lester’s mum lunar birthday. Happy birthday!!! Heez~

Liew Shan Wen

Started msging Shan Wen to know if he could make it to this coming gathering. But too bad, he has his training on Saturday as well.

Gotta chat abit and know that he is currently serving NS, in 3 Guards. His ORD date will be end of next year. Pretty long eh… The usual crappy him, but it always makes me feel good to get back together with your good old friend, and i really mean GOOD FRIENDS.

Anyway, looking forward to this friday. A break for me…

Diary Vs Past Relationships

I ever heard this in a local talk show: “If you dun want your current boyfriend / girlfriend to know about your past relationships, dun write diaries.” While in my point of view, it’s no longer true on the analog form.

With the advance in technology, diary is not something in a book that you locked up in your drawer. A blog is a form of diary entry. A blog which marks all the memories down can be as sweet, but as hurtful. When the mist of love slowly disappear, these memories could just be something which you never want to recall.

Blog has become such an interactive communication channel, not just a showcase of events. And often, the couples leave traces of laughters and joy in comments dialogue. Inevitably, it may be such a thorn in others’ eyes. Everyone would like to be special and unique in 1 way or another. Nobody likes to follow some other’s foot path, especially the ‘ex’…

And somehow i realise, women are still not forgiving as what they always pretending to be. And simply as bo liao as they can be…

    Deuter Hip Pack

    Had a fulling lunch with my colleagues back in the office yesterday. Came to this ulu ulu Korean restaurant. I won’t say it’s not good, but kinda expensive. Prices not value for the food we eat.

    Had been craving for Fillet-O-Fish since sunday. So we decided to have Fillet-O-Fish for dinner at Tiong Bahru Plaza. Wanted to buy 10. Heez~ Coz i really really really love Fillet-O-Fish. But decided to buy one for each, and had other finger food after that.

    Was shopping around the Plaza and Lester was eyeing for a small orange pouch. And me, spotted this orange Deuter’s hip pack. It has solid cushion supports, a number of compartments. Not too sure is there a capacity to a pouch like backpack, but it is considerably big. Shall bring that along for this coming Thailand trip and future backpacking.



    Reached home before 10pm. And i was busy trying out some clothes for some events. I have my 2 sisters and Lester as the judge panels. But i really doubt their comments. (-.-‘”) Hmm…

    Kuishin – Bo

    To celebrate our 8th month anniversary and pay rise, we have made a reservation at Kuishin – Bo, Japanese buffet restaurant for lunch.

    “The spread is good” Lester said. Quite a number of variety, sushi, hand-rolls, sashimi, teppanyaki, paper steamboat, garlic rice, beef stew rice, miso soup, ramen, udon, tempura, chawanmushi, curry rice, soft shell crab, cold and deep-fried tofu, yakitori, soba, cakes, tarts, ice cream and free-flow of drinks. Yum yum…

    Unknowingly ate too full, couldn’t walk at all. So we head straight back to Lester’s house. Slept throughout the evening, both of us din have any dinner. Slack through the nite, and watched Spiderman 1 and Resident Evil 1.

    MNG having sale, up to 50%. Got myself a three-quarter sleeve blouse. Heez~
