Dear Bloggie,

I actually managed to slack at home the entire day, without doing anything significant (other then packing my table, watched 4 episode of korean drama and read 1 chapter of the amber spyglass)..

Feeling refreashed and charged after doing nothing for one whole day..

Anyway, went out with Qian yesterday.

Catched Chipmunks (and I really like it) and did abit of shopping (okie.. its slightly more then abit...)

Ended up with a top, dress, lingeries and heels..

I seemed to be buying lots of lingeries recently.. My new peeves.

And this morning, I suddenly realised why am I so broke for the whole month of December.. Its true that I did plenty of Xmas shopping.. But I felt exceptionally broke.. And the truth reveals this morning after I took a closer look at my credit card bill...

I overpaid DBS a couple of hundred dollars for my November bill.. -_-"

Okie.. Its a warm day.. Let me go do some ironing for the time being.. *emiting plenty of housewife and auntie characteristic recently...*

~*end*~

Dear Bloggie,

Been ages since I've last blog.

But well.. many happenings.. But I can hardly go recall it bit by bit.

Finally after all the busy prezzie shopping, the festive have finally passed.

Do I have a good xmas, well.. Yes and No. Since when have xmas gathering became a gathering for couples.. So fundamentally its like each friend will still stick to their spouse. Its not that there is zero interaction, but somehow.. Well. =(

But still, its a wonderful xmas!!

And well.. Now for some news.

I've resigned.

After 3+ years here, I have finally decided to go. Even thou my boss offered to bring me to Germany in Feb for an exhibition show which I've been planning for months, and give me an increment which is close to $900/mth and an annual close to $50,000, I still made the deicsion to go.

So well.. life still goes on.

2007 is coming to an end real soon..

Hope its just as a wonderful year to you as it is to me.

~*Love, xin*~

Dear Bloggie,

Very busy in the office recently.

I miss my friends.. Boys & girls, you're missed by me kae.. =)

And old friends too, people I have not seen for ages.. Lets find a day to meet up soon kae.. =)

~*end*~

Dear Bloggie,

Kae, thats all... Have a great weekend everyone!!

~*TaTa*~

Dear Bloggie,

Its been quite some time since my last posting..

Anyway, its my first paper yesterday. =)

The paper was surprisingly a breeze for me.. =p

Considering on the fact that I didnt exactly study for it, unless labelling the entire textbook, chapter by chapter counts. =p

I can even go clubbing with Jere and Qian last Wednesday till 4am.. And I spent my Sunday at my Granny's playing mahjong with my uncles and auntie.. And I spent my 1/2 day leave on Monday going to an interview, and sleeping.. And ermm.. I was on leave yesterday, I finished my tagging and labelling of the textbook till 12noon, and I watched "My Super Ex-Firlfriend" on vcd.. =p

So well, I'm really counting on luck and blessings for the Finance paper.. Which ermm.. hehe. =)

And today, I'm back in the office.. I'll be on leave again tml.. For my 2nd paper - Public Relations.

And well... A secondary school friend of mine just sms-ed and asked me to accompany her for her bridal gown trial on Sunday. *So exciting!!*

I've been to bridal gown trial with Xiang's sister before.. But well.. I still find it exciting. Especially this is my very own friend.. omg. =)

Wedding bells are ringing all around me...

When's mine coming...

Hate xiang. His simply making me wait and wait. Why am I like so desprate to get married when his simply in no hurry..

Thats all folk!!

All the best to xw for her conpetition in the glass showcase!! Thou till now I've got no idea what is it all about, but I've voted for her!!

~*end*~

Dear Bloggie,

Was busy last Friday.. So didn’t have my TGIF post.

Anyway.. Last Friday is a YELLOW Friday.

My favorite color. =)

Okie, not everyone turned up in solid yellow, apparently its not an easy color.. But well.. nevertheless, everyone tried their best. =)_

Didn’t do anything over the weekend..

Ermm.. Actually its more of I got NO PLANS for the weekend.

But eventually, I went Orchard with mum on Saturday. A good day for shopping, but I bought an expensive item, which totally threw me off track and was so guilty that I don’t have the mood to further spend.. (thou I see a couple pair of shoes I like and the dresses are pretty too..)

And Sunday I went for a show with Jere.. Cant remember the show’s name, but its very nice!! Please go see the show… Ermm.. But I cant remember the name of the show… -_-“ And after that went Funan with Jere and my parents to buy a lappie..

And my Granny’s birthday dinner after that. About 50 of us were there for the dinner. We had 5 tables at Hong Xin… But they served 9 course dinner, no dim sum. But well, the food is still yummy!!

Anyway, I am full to the brim. It simply undid all the good that I have done last week.. *sigh*

Its Monday again.. =(

But there’s a public holiday this week, and that makes it a short week!!

Have a good week ahead people!! =)

Dear Bloggie,

*smile*

Another impromptu post..

Every Friday my colleauges and myself have a color code to dress to. The past 2 weeks is pink and violet. There is another brand new color this week. Even more bright and loud, and I'm actually quite looking forward to it. Stay tuned till Friday kae.. to see whats the color of the week. =)

This has actually become a very corporate event. More and more ladies from other departments had heard about it, and are taking part in it..

Anyway, today has not color code tagged on.

BUT..

We all turned out in one same color... Black.

I really love the girls more and more everyday.

Its funny that everytime after we took photos together, there will be decision to go swimming, jogging and more yoga classes and detox programs coz we found ourselves very fat.

Xiang actually got the cheek to tell me, "How come all the girls in your company so fat ah?"

And his officially barred from my company's D&D unless he wants to get slaughtered by the girls. =x

But the next day, Celes said her aunt said the exact same to her, "How come all like you so fat ah.."

-_-"

Dear Bloggie,

This is a back dated post. =)

On 21st October (Sunday), together with come colleauges from different departments, we took part in the Great Eastern Women 5km Fun Walk.

Its 5km.. Say long not long, say short not short. =p

Anyway, the walk started at 8.30am. It took me 38mins to complete the 5km. Somehow running at a open space makes the 5km feels shorter then at the stadium.

Photos taken before the start of the run..

Taking a photo with the 5km map..

The marketing comm girls.. Me, Nurlin and Vicky.

At the starting line..

Okie.. After the run, I fall sick.

Hehe, Throat infection that develops into fever.

And that puts me on mc on Monday.

Thats all folks~~*

Its Monday again today, have a fantastic week ahead kae!!!

Dear Bloggie,

TGIF!!

Its a violet Fridae~~*Isnt it sweet..

I love Fridaes.. =)

Dear Bloggie,

I have been working on my Corp Comm Essay for the entire day. But its really a fruitless attempt as the progress in real bad. There is simply a very negative feeling clouding over me the entire day, but yet I cant put that feeling into words.

Went out for a breather in the evening. Met xiang and he brought me to the cheesecake cafe to cheer me up a little. But sadly, the 60bucks cheesecakes doesnt seemed to be able to perform its magic. I returned home feeling as gloomy as ever.

Its back to the essay.. *sigh*

And I've got a 5km marathon to run (or most likely walk) tomorrow and I'm meeting my colleauges at 7am. I should be going to bed but somehow, the fact that I'm not even halfway through my essay and also ermm.. something else that I dont seemed to be able to put into words, is preventing me from doing so.

And oh yes. I forgot to close my bedroom door earlier on, and that bloody-hell furball of mine actually got the nerve to jump onto my bed and took my softoy. Its a doggie named toot-toot that ah ma and ah lian jie gave me as a birthday present when we're still in poly. That furball actually bite off my toot-toot's nose. God can assure you how angry I was.

Yupz, I spank him real hard after I realised that.

And I'm less then 1mth away from exam.

And I guess I'm missing the time at the riverside..

And I'm missing the time that I do not have so much on my brain.

*sigh*

Dear Bloggie,

Today is a joyful day in the office.

Its a Pink Friday~~*


Everyone is in Pink..

So nice right.. *smile*

Dear Bloggie,

Very unhappy now.

Due to SGD 684.45.

K got D to place order for some stock. Due to shortage of stock, supplier did inform us before hand that they are unable to send 3pcs of items. I scrolled back to the emails way back then, and realized that colleague K is also in the loop when this was informed.

So when the first shipment came in (less the 3pcs), the shipment cost was catered for.

Okie.. Till this stage, I wasn't fully involved with the whole ordering process. (In other words, I'm still out of the picture)

So when the 3pcs was ready, which was close to 1mth later.. It was already on an urgent basis for these 3pcs to come in ASAP. So instead of coming in through cargo freight, they got it in through courier service.

And the courier now send in the bill for these 3pcs of item, which is SGD 684.45.

Just now, K got his boss B, to come talk to me about it together.

(Okie, some background.. I was put in charge of this supplier. We are the exclusive dealer for this supplier in the Asia region, and by right all orders got to go through me, both internal and external. While D was actually more on the technical support. So D somehow became another window for this supplier..)

So I got a shock you see, suddenly 2 guys came over.. An executive and a director. *sigh*

But they also understand that I'm not in the loop, coz K did not order through me after all..

So B, K and D are now talking about the SGD 684.45..

The conclusion is K is not going to pay for it. And I also got no idea D is going to stuff this bill into where..

Actually.. I think K is in the wrong. Judging from the email correspondence, it is not fair to say that he wasn't informed when he was in the loop all along.

And now D is coming to me to compile the documents, to lodge is against... Errm... D's boss A, I think.

Guys and girls.. This the working world. Where you could be friends at one moment, and the next moment they could turn into foes. So remember to be on your toes at all times.. And protect yourself well under ALL circumstances kae..

Keep EVERYTHING in Black & White.

Dear Bloggie,

Celebrated Mao and Xingwei's birthday at last evening at Spageddies Paragon.

The food is "so-so", but well.. I have a wonderful time.

Everyone is in high sprits, the jokes we cracked and the fun moments we shared.

*smile*

The mahjong tiles, the button, the "Huili+Justin", the candid photos, and ermm alot more. =)

Anyway, the high-lights of the nite...

(Is mao's name spelled wrongly? The G seemed like an E...)

Okie, need to get back to work.. =)

Dear Bloggie,

Extreme Tired.

Felt fat, so I went jogging after I reached home from class yesterday. Started jogging at 11.15pm, ended at 12.05am. Bathed and slept at 12.30am.

It's not very late I know, but after several consecutive late nights, this is definitely taking its toll on me.

And due to not enough sleep, topped with pms, I've got 3 freaking gigantic pimples on my face.

omg.

Damn ugly, not to mention pain.

I am so craving for rest.. But this weekend is burnt with my finance case study, I've got 1 full question on annualties.. Which involves both theory and calculations..

Lastly, thanks to all who have showed their concern towards me. And sorry for those whom I have neglected.

(The above statement seemed to be neither making heads nor tails, but those in concern will know what I'm talking about..)

Dear Bloggie,

Xiang is reallie an asshole.

What am I thinking of..

wtf.

Dear Bloggie,

Bought Lizzie and Toffee to ECP yesterday for a walk.

This is the last time I brought both of them to ECP.. Well, owner busy.. So both my darling are "stay-in-doggies".

Anyway, Lizzie is a damn good girl.. Except for the part where she gets damn excited when she sees cats.

But Toffee that idiot. We hardly walked for 10mins, he started to rest his big fat butt as and when he finds the chance, and refused to budge. I got so damn irritated, not to mentioned embarrassed.. Coz the park is crowded, and people are staring at my"oh-so-cute" dog.

And so, less then 10mins later I was forced to take a u-turn back to the car. And that lazy bones cannot even bear till then. He actually go on a strike, and simple lie flat on the ground. So I got no choice, but to carry him.

His FAT kae.. A 6.5kg Shih Tzu.

His a certified overweight little brat by the vet..

So well.

I didnt get to fully utilize my 50cents parking coupon.

*sigh*

I was back in the car, driving off... 20min later.

Dear Bloggie,

I made a choice today.

Not on a moment of impulse I hope.

But somehow, I have a weird naggy feeling about it.

Did I made a wrong decision?

I am very sorry for my indecisiveness, even when I thought I made a decision, my mindset seemed weak and feeble.

How?

Dear Bloggie,

I am hooked on Facebook now.

Very hooked. But just on the pet's session. =)

All Jere's fault.

Take a look at my pet.

Hehe, I'm in the process of equiping it.

My cookie will definately outshine his Innocent..

Errmm.. Give me a bit more time. =p

Dear Bloggie,

A very long post ahead.. =)

1. Jetstar Asia

I wrote a damn fierce email to Jetstar Asia, and they sent an executive to “smoke-screen” me. So I am really pissed. But come to think of it, that few hundred bucks is really not worth all my efforts. Hence, I have decided to seek help from the media, but subject to whether the media think our story is worth following up.

So please people, NEVER EVER try or take Jetstar Asia. I am going to boycott it, and I’m going to spread the massage on the unreasonable treatment we received.

Just a brief outline for those who doesn’t know what had happened.

1. Went to Phuket with 3 Besties, from 15^th Sept to 17^th Sept (took photos, but no time to upload. Will do a post on it over the weekend.)
2. Budget Airline “One-to-go” crashed at Phuket Airport on 16^th September.
3. Phuket Airport closed for clearing of the debris.
4. My return flight was on 17^th Sept, 8.30pm.
5. Got friends in Singapore to help call and confirm our return tickets with Jetstar Asia, and also check if there is any delay or cancellation of flight due to the crash. (Note: coz its 4 girls, so the bfs/ bfs-to-be in Singapore was even more anxious then us..)
6. Flight was confirmed and guaranteed, and they assure that we 4 girls will be returning back to Singapore on 17^th Sept.
7. Reached Phuket Airport at 7pm and joined in a “quite-long” queue.
8. Was still in the queue around 8pm, so we went forward to check with the counter on whether is there any delay in the flight.
9. Only to be told that they have given out ALL the boarding pass, including our RESERVED AND CONFIRMED tickets.
10. There are no more flights on 17^th Sept flying out of Phuket Airport, so we are stranded in Phuket. =(
11. Ran around like a mad woman, to find a flight back to Singapore. Coz I only took leave on 17^th Sept and due to return back to office on 18^th Sept.
12. Finally, after much sourcing and waiting, I got the 4 of us on a flight back to Singapore at 18^th Sept 8.05am which cost another additional S$200. (The earliest flight out of Phuket)

BUT!!

1. The 4 girls are penniless.
2. Jetstar didn’t even bother to approach us to help us with accommodations or transport.
3. I got SGD, but the money changer is closed.
4. After much asking around, we got the contact of a Airport Hotel nearby. So we called and reserve a room.
5. Took a cab outside the Airport to the Airport Hotel.
6. The cab suddenly turned into a small lane off the main road; into a sand road with no street lamps and the grass is almost the same height as us.
7. Its 4 girls at a foreign land with a male cabby at a ulu area. Its scary de loh.
8. But well, it turned out to be “I-think-too-much”. Coz we arrived at the Hotel safe and sound. Its ulu de loh.
9. Its like a chalet w/o a BBQ pit.. And with my besties, it seemed like we went back in times, to 10 years back where we had chalet at ECP.
10. After a horrible nite, 4 girls sharing a Queen Size bed, we woke up at 5am.
11. After a quick washing up, we rushed to the Airport. Reaching at 6.10am.
12. And finally, after 30mins of wait.. We got our boarding pass back to Singapore. I have never been happier to receive my boarding pass. =)

So to conclude, Jetstar did not offer any help to us while we are stranded there. And they are the one that released our RESERVED and CONFIRMED tickets to those who are stranded at Phuket due to the closure of the Airport earlier on. It is simply ridiculous!! And I incurred an additional $1000 on behalf of all 4 girls. And not to mention the emotional distress that we went through. A little break turned out to be more exhausting then going to work.

And now back in Singapore, Jetstar Asia is denying all responsibilities. I till now cannot find a point of contact to talk to them. If they are sincere in helping us resolve this issue, then they should send a representative to talk to us, and not avoiding us. I am very disappointed in Jetstar Asia and I SWEAR that I’ll NEVER use their service again. And I urge all my friends who are reading this to do likewise unless you want to receive the same treatment as I did and go thru all the agony that I am still going through now.

2. Insurance

Sorting insurance claim is definitely not an easy matter. Especially so when Jetstar Asia is not cooperating enough to furnish us with the documents that the Insurance Company wants. I seriously need help here..

3. Interviews

I have been to quite a few interviews recently. But I know I’m not performing as well at the interviews. Its not easy for me to find a job now due to my current pursue of degree. Unless it’s a related position, if not how do you expect me to answer the interviewers why am I taking up a Communication degree, and applying for “off-hand-I-cant-think-of-any-unrelated-position”.

4. Relationship

I have made up my mind, and have made a choice.. I hope no matter what choice I made, please accept it graciously kae. =) Give him a chance, give us a chance. I am easily affected by friends on my decisions, and I am also not very firm on my own decision if fact be told. Hence, I really hope that I have your support on it. =)

5. Friends

I know that there are friends whom I have neglected and have not been catching up with. Please don’t feel forgotten kae, I have never forgotten and will not desert you either. =) Due to work, school and other commitments, it is really not easy for me to come up with time to catch up proper. But please do bear with me. Or alternatively, instead of waiting for me to go find you, why not you come find me instead? =) Just drop me a sms to say HI~~*

And for those whom that are currently putting in your utmost effort in your final dash in school, or have just started the journey to create your career path, “acha acha huai-ting!!!” (Jia You in Korean)

This is an extremely long post. Coz well, I just want to take some time off work.

Dear Bloggie,

I have returned from my Phuket trip.

Another long story there.. Thou a few closer one would have heard of my plight by now. But no worries, I have returned back to Singapore safe and sound.. Now I'm trying to process claims and compensation from the rightful parties.

Very tired.

Instead of feeling rested and refreshed, I felt more exhausted after my weekend get-away.

Anyway, I've got back assignment results. =)

This definately give me a reason to smile, and also assurance that all my efforts and weekend burnt are all paid off. =)

I've got an average of 77.5 so far, for both modules.

Not that bad. =)

Right now, a new term begins.. I am so tired.

I feel like skipping class today.. And tml..

I just want to go home and sleep.. Undisturbed rest..

Okie, very busy at work.. After the 2 days leave, work is piling.

Bye pple~*

Dear Bloggie,

I've got another grade back this morning..

Finance Quiz:
80marks (20% of entire module)

Finance Group Project
75marks (30% of entire module)

Note: So right now, for my Finance, I've got 77/100. Which is about a B I think.. Now it all depends on my Final individual project..

PR NKF Case Study:
75marks (25% of entire module)

Actually, grade is not that low but somehow a bit disappointed..

My grades for last semester seemed better somehow.. Is it the 5credit unit problem? I have really worked damn hard this semester..

Thats all for the day.. Back to work.

Its only Wednesday... =(

Errm.. But I am not exactly really looking forward to the weekend thou... u know.

Dear Bloggie,

A quick summary of my results this semester.

Finance Quiz:
80marks (20% of entire module)

PR NKF Case Study:
75marks (25% of entire module)

Not that bad right.. =)

On the basis that I have only use 1 weekend to complete each of my Quiz and Assignments..

I want to maintain my Bs... Can right?

Dear Bloggie,

Finally, everything will be over by tomorrow. Where I can officially take a break for one week (do I have that break??), before I start the whole hectic cycle again.

Tomorrow is the submission dateline for my Finance but I am still not so near completion. I spent my entire weekend on it, but all that I have completed so far, is the report (a whole bulk of it is crap frankly speaking), the video (finished all the recording last nite, but still need to work on the editing with Jere).. And I am still left with the presentation slides..

Getting stressed over it, but well.. This is the last hurdle for this term. =)

Coz Jere was over at my place for the recording yesterday, he wanted to be chef for the nite, so I invited some friends over for dinner. Ermm.. actually its more then some.

Qianhui, Huili, Xingwei + Jon, Emi and Mao + gf came over. Jere said this is the first time he cooked for so many.. The dinner was really DELICIOUS!!, especially the chicken. Its so well marinated. =) Thanks kae Jere, for all yesterday!!

Thank you pple for coming over yesterday. =) I know I'm not too good a host, coz I was busy with my Finance report and the videoing.. But still hope you had a good dinner and mahjong session..

Thou its term break week, but still alittle busy. Got to rush home todae to finish up my Finance, Wednesday going for dinner with a frewm, thursday going jogging with Qian and to change the currency for my phuket trip, Friday got Korean class, and Saturday going for KTV with Jere, before flying off to Phuket in the evening for my little break! I'll return back to Singapore on Monday, and my class will start again on Tuesday.. (and the cycle will go on and on again...)

Thou tired, but I'm leading a very fullfilled life now. Spending time with frewns, learning and picking up new skills as I goes along.

Thats all for the moment I think..

Have a great week ahead!! =)

Dear Bloggie,

I seemed to do doing assignment in the wee hours of my Sunday every week.

Its going to be 5am soon, and I'm just ermm.. slightly more then half way tru my PR essay. Writing a cirsis management proposal is definately not an easy task.. Especially at 5am.

So I'm going to log off and catch abit of sleep and continue tomorrow morning...

Feeling damn stressed up weekend after weekend..

Poor me... =(

Dear Bloggie,

A random post before I go off for lunch. =)

Just imagine, there is a T-junction. With no signage.

There are 2 cars, 1 driver is an American and the other is a Singaporean, who realized that they are on the wrong side of the road and needs to make a U-turn. They both reach the same junction.

The American will make a U-turn at this junction.

While the Singaporean will not make a U-turn.

In the States, American drivers will make a U-turn at every junction, except for those with a "No U-turn" sign. While in Singapore, local drivers will only make a U-turn at the junction with a "U-turn" sign.

The same junction, two different reaction.

Read it metaphorically. =)

This is one thing I like about attending Communication Studies class, other then the "chimalogy" essay and reports that I need to churn out. It always makes me looks at things (be it movie, advertisement, political or even a simple situation) at a different angle.

And oh, recently there are so much stuff that I want to learn.

I want to learn piano (read as "Pi-ah-no" in Korean... =p), yoga and baking (can someone buy me an oven..)..

Too much t0 do, too little time. =)

Dear Bloggie,

In the office now, and I am so sleepy.

This is my 5^th week of class, and I have cleared 3 major reports and quiz. And I’m left with a PR essay (which has to include an action plan when a merger takes place), and a Finance Report (a full length report about Bonds and Stocks and Options and god knows what complete with presentation slides, and a recoding of me doing the presentation).

I’m so tired.

School has been hectic. Work wise… still okie.

I still maintain the schedule of jogging every Monday (I am manage a 2.4km jog, follow by another few km of walk now =p), school every Tuesday and Thursday, and my Korean class on Friday. Not bad right, I seemed to be leading a fulfilled life. =)

Errm.. Xiang is after me once again. And it’s the seriously aggressive type.

It’s all the fault of jealousy.

But I am happy now. =)

Do I want a change?

I am very sorry.. I think I’ll choose to be an escapist. At least, for the moment.

No matter what happen, the world still spins.. I believe miracles will happen, and one day I’ll know what to do. =)

Dear Bloggie,

I am supposed to be working on my Finance Report now.

I am the last one in the group that has not submitted my potion of the report, and I have not even started on it yet. omg.

Its Sunday morning 1.17am now, and there is practically noone in msn. Its either everyone is still out playing or already playing chess with Mr. Chow.

But yet, I cannot concentrate. I cannot pen (or type in this matter) a single word.

I am the Princess of Procrastinate this semester..

Slowly day by day, I realized that I am giving my heart away.. =)

Okie, back to my Finance Essay.. Before the sun rises, I'll be a guru on Bonds Rating. (hopefully.)

Dear Bloggie,

I know I have not been updating.

Just a quick recap on my school schedule.. Then maybe you can also have a feel on the amount of work and pressure I am under.

Assignment Due Date:

19th August: Public Relations NKF case study essay
19th August: Finance Instrument Quiz (This is fucking difficult; but I got 80marks!)
28th August: Finance Instrument Case Study Report (On bonds rating. wtf is that..)
3rd September: Public Relations strategy analysis essay
11th September: Finance Instrument Report

These are only the due dates of my assignment. On top of that, I still have to go for class every Tuesday and Thursday. And also Friday, where I have my Korean language class.. And I still go for my regular jogging once a week.

And ermm.. zouk. *in a tiny voice*

Very taken to clubbing recently.. again. =p

To reward myself alittle, I'll be going on a Phuket trip with my besties during my term break. =) I am so looking forward to it.. A nice weekend get-away with the girls seemed like a wonderful antidote now.

I have photos not updated, and lots of interesting matters that I really dont have the time to update. But its alright.. Memories sweet as they are, thou not recorded will always be hidden deep inside me. =)

I know I have been neglecting alot of my dear ones around me. Like not appearing at the Birthday celebrations, and have not fullfilled the KTV dates and dinners and others.. Sorry about it kae.. =)

Note: I'm thinking of getting a double degree, in Finance. What you think??

Dear Bloggie,

I know its been ages since I last have a post. This is coz I started a post on my birthday. I wanted to give an update on my bdae celebrations. But as it turns out, I started to get real busy with work, school and more play. =p

But well, since its a public holiday yesterday... So, most of the people people are on leave. And as a result, I am damn free. =p

Anyway, I had a wonderful holiday yesterday!! =)

After work on Wednesday, I rushed home to bath and changed. After which Tommy came by to pick me up for dinner. Together with Jonas and ermm... 2 other frewns which I forgot their name.

He wanted to bring me down to eat at that AMK that every famous crab. But when they called to confirm their reservations at 7plus, they told him the waiting time for food was at least 1.5hr. I find the wait too long, so we changed the venue to the MacPherson Kopitiam.

Had a fulling dinner with them. =) The black pepper crab was yummy!!

Thanks Tommy and Jonas for the dinner!!

After which a frewn came by to pick me up at the Kopitiam around 9.30pm, and also to pick Qian up at her school. And off to Zouk we go!!

The queue was unbelievable. And the crowd is .... very young.

I feel so much so like an auntie there I tell you. Horrible. =(

We queue for ermm.. 45mins or so, and we're in.

I cant tell you how much fun I had. Now then I know apple shooters are damn delicious. =) But well, shooters and long island isnt that good frewns after all. It got me in a pretty bad shape after 2 hours. And yet the guys who are like almost drunk refused to let us stopped the game, hence Qian and I went out to take a breather. Frewn came out shortly to join us, and well... Not too soon after his frewns also came out.

Okie, they are wasted that nite. =)

But so funny. One was lying on the floor, rolling around doing leopard crawl... Then guy A is calling guy B when they are simply feets apart. So when guy A hang up his call, guy B proceeds to leave voice messages. Not once, but plenty and plenty of times... =) Stupid things guys do when they're wasted.

So well, had loads of fun that nite. That smile had not once leave my face the entire nite... =)

But well, apparently xiang wanted to pick me up after zouk. And his waiting for me somewhere near I guess. But as frewn sent me home, hence well... Xiang loses his cool. I can understand where his coming. But as its like 4plus 5am, and I had ermm.. actually quite abit of shooters and long island, I was really damn tired. So I wasnt in a mood to talk to him when I could hardly keep my eyes open and head spinning.

Okie, so anyway... Thats that.

I woke up with a heavy head on Thursday. Slack at home till 6pm, then went to Orchard to meet Qian. She went to pick up a pair of shoes while I brought a pair of shoes there for repair. After a quick dinner, we rushed down to Tampines Mall. For a movie with Tommy, DY, KT, JW and his girlfrewn. =) Its been ages since I went for a show in such a big group... Nice company, great movie. =)

After that went down to Jalan Kayu for supper. Tommy send Qian back home first before joining the rest there. As we make a detour in Tamp, we were the last to arrive. And I was just commenting on Tommy's slow driving (70km/hr at TPE at 10pm), we saw a police car at the road shoulders with the siren lights on. So he was happily telling me that he have a hunch that police will be around and hence his driving slowly... As we pass by the car, I saw the guy standing talking to police looks damn familiar. Then Tommy was like, "red altis leh... SFPxxxx. Eh!! JW's car!!" Then I was, "EHH... JW's standing there leh!!"

So funny I can tell you...

We are still wondering is it his blue headlights or his speeding... But well. =p

The police car is on the extreme right lane travelling at 90km/hr. And he itchy backside go overtake police car... So police tu lan and actually put on siren, chase him for a distance and get him to pull over... But well, he just received a warning. Nothing serious. But we all got a good laugh out of it. =)

So around 11plus, we parted and Tommy sent me back... Just turned out of Jalan Kayu, met a frewn and his frewns at the kopi tiam downstairs... So I stayed and la kopi awhile before going home. The frewns are damn hilarious I can tell you. Ermm, very entertaining. Reached home around 1am, and slpt at 2am.

Today, I totally stone. Try drinking abit too much alchohol on Wednesday, made to stay up till 5plus am and wake up at 11am. Then couldnt sleep the whole afternoon due to the terrible hang over feeling. And was out for the whole nite on Thursday and only going to bed at 2am. And worst, waking up at 6am to prepare to go work...

And, I'm going jogging tonight with Jere... =)

Well, I determine to lose at least a couple of kilos on me. Thou I did not manage my food intake as well as I would like, but at least I'm making the effort to exercise.

Oh yar... Aaron flew off to Sweden on Wednesday... By now he shouldnt have settled down at his new place. Wishing him all the lucks for the nxt 12mths. =)

And today, happened to be the birthday of quite a bit of pple... Happie birthday to Leslie, Shufen, Christine and Ranson!! =)

A very long and boring post right. Cant help it. I'm bored. =p

Ending here then... I'll seriously make the effort to finish up my bdae post. Complete with all the wonderful pressies that I've recieved. =)

Dear Bloggie,

Its my Birthday week. =)

But somehow as time passes, as I grow older… It loses the magical feel. I no longer felt that special. =)

Okie, updates on a couple of important happenings over the weekend which are… pretty significant.

I was out having dinner at that wonderful Jap restaurant on Friday, and after which, we adjourned to KTV at Cuppage. KTV was booked at 10pm, but the traffic was horrible at Orchard Road (we drove down as he parked at Shaw, so later we do not have to walked up the whole stretch of Orchard Road at 2am…) Reached only at 10.30pm. But its alright, since its only the 2 of us. Left around 2am, and I got home around 3am.

I was sort of determine to stay up the entire nite, as the final installment of Harry Potter – Deathly Hallows, will be released for sale at 7am and I had pre-ordered mine at Borders, Wheelock. Just as I was contemplating with the idea, and was thinking whether I should have not come home but instead make him queue overnight with me (a queue was already forming at Borders at 7pm when I was at wheelock for dinner) at Borders. But just then, Esther msn-ed me, and we talked till around 5am. And sleep got the better of me, and I decided to call it a night, with loads of alarm to make sure I don’t wake up too late.

I woke up at 7.30am… And called Xiang to pick me up (Sms him around 4am and he said he’ll send me down). His doing a DVD marathon with his friends, hence he agreed to send me down to pick up the book. So he arrived around 8am, while I showered and freshen myself up after barely 2.5hr of sleep. Reached Wheelock around 8.20am; and the queue was horrible. =( There is easily 100people already in queue. But lucky for me, my uni friend Ruby was already in the queue since 7am and she’s already near the cashier. Being a darling, she asked me to go in immediately, and she helped me pick up my book. =) Saved me at least a couple hours of waiting time.

So I bought breakfast from Mac before I went home… And I started the journey with Harry Potter, at 10am.

Okie, I cleared all plans for the weekend, just to read Harry Potter. But thou I rejected all appointments with others; I actually fall into the trap from Mr Sand Man. He got the better of me, and I fall asleep before 11am. Hence, my reading process was pretty staggered over the weekend. With me falling asleep as and when… =(

So well… and I actually went shopping on Sunday, followed by my cousin’s birthday dinner.

Took a day off on Monday and went for interview at Keppel. I didn’t perform well at the interview, but well… at least I gained the interviewing experience. =) After that I picked up the car from my mum, and drove down to school to collect book. Meet a friend in school, and had a nice lunch together. =) Made my way home after the meal, and I continued the journey, with my Harry Potter… (okie, less then half hour I fall aslp again.)

Wanting to be a good girl, I went to pick my mum up after her work, and went to Compass Point and had a nice dinner with her. She said it’ll be an early celebration of my bdae… =)

So anyway, ate at The Soup Restaurant… I was sooooo full~~* (So much for my dieting…)

Went back home and continued on my Harry Potter till late night.

And… Ta da~~* I finished the journey with Harry on Tuesday morning!!!

Not to be a spoiler, I’m not going to reveal the ending… But its definitely a good read. =) I love it.

Okie, going to start on my birthday celebrations from today onwards with various groups of friends… =)

Thou I’m slightly upset with the little hiccups with the arrangements of dinners and all, but overall, I still want to send my thanks to those who sincerely made plans for me. =)

And, I have a change in my seats yesterday… I gave up my seat to the new secretary. It was a move, which saddened me. I never like changes, it meant uncertainty and doubt. I like to make plans and not do stuff on ad-hoc basis, know what is going on at all times and be in-charge… (Typical leo right…)

So right now I’m going through quite a rouch patch, my patient is short, and I’m quite touchy.

But its my birthday week~~* =)

Looking forward to all the wonderful dinners and clubbing on Sat night. Especially that dinner where the venue is meant to be a surprise… I am sure looking forward to that. =)

Bookings at Dargonfly confirmed on Saturday. My colleague is trying to get free entry for all. But right now only the 1^st 12 are free… So let me know if you’re coming, so arrangements can be made kae… =)

Dear Bloggie,

Went for Dinner at Sun with Moon Japanese Restaurant at Wheelock Place Level 3 on Friday evening after work.

Apparently this place was opened somewhere in 2005, but I have never heard of it till ermm.. now.

But its never too late to uncover a gem hiden in the midst of busy Orchard Road.

The setting was warm and welcoming.

The seats I've got was partitioned from the others with a veil, to ensure minimum privacy...

And seats was littered with white leather cushion. And dim lightings make the setting even more perfect. =)

I order a unagi don.

This is the best unagi don I had in ages... Believe me when I said its good. Coz I simply love unagi... =) The mare thought of it send me drooling all over again.

And this is what he ordered...

This is ermm... I forgot its name... And I realised I forgot to take a photo of it without its lids. But its abit like our chinese claypot rice... But its toppings was salmon and fish roes... And its all the essence being absored into the rice... I guess it must be heavenly. The little hour glass its just a gimick I guess. We got to wait for 1min, before we open the lid...

I did not try this claypot thingy... Coz I was never a fan of salmon.

But after that, we order deserts...

Beautiful isnt it... I was holding on to the fork for quite something as I simply cant bear to put these pretty little things into my mouth... *smile*

Anyway, this is heavenly.

Tou-fu Cheesecake... The presentation of it is already so damn unique. But the taste is.... I cant find a way to describe it. This is a "Never-to-be-missed" item. I was never a great fan of cheesecake. But this is simply hevenly... =)

A close up of the cheese cake... This is really good. =)

Okie... I got to call it an end. I'm in the midst of my Harry Potter but I just want to share this fantastic place with you. =) Do call and make reservation before you go down in order to avoid disappointment.

And oh.. btw, this meal cost $50. =)
