Appreciation Nite

Attended the "American Express Annual Travel Appreciation Night" last nite at the Novotel Clarke Quay.. It was a sit down 4 course western dinner.. salad, soup, main course and dessert.. I had only 2 course.. the salad and red snapper (main course).. cause the rest of the time I was busy chatting with Amex girls and my corp. client.. my name card was grabbed up even before the end of the dinner..

We sponsored 2 economy class tickets to Tokyo which make us the 2nd prize. My GM and myself attended the dinner.. we sit on the 1st table and apparently that is a VIP table with LH, World Hotels, Preferred Hotel Group, Amex head of client management and Amex VP for head of business travel... so that make us a "non-disturb" table.. we are free from all the games and going on stage.. Hate to go up and be monkey.. to entertain the crowd..



Turkish dance.. and impersonator (he is so good.. he impersonate Michael Jackson and Elvis very well.. He is an Ang Moh but can sing hokkien songs)



Those 2 guys in black suit are from FM 98.7.. My GM actually wanted to sabo me.. He wants me to give away the 2nd prize.. but too bad lor.. I'm the most naughty staff that he have.. so no way I'm going to listen to him.. haha!!

Dinner ended at 11pm.. My client gives me a lift to Potong Pasir MRT.. Can't get a cab from there.. had to make do with MRT home :(

Overflow Gelato

Went jalan jalan at Kovan Hub and Heartland Mall.. had my favourite gelato.. yoggi and gianduia flavour.. I told the guy in the shop that I'm a regular so he gave me a "mountain size" gelato.. The aunty eating her gelato next to the shop.. must be damn jealous when she see mine!!



Overflow gelato :)

Treasure Hut

Dear M, mummy and me had breakfast at Bedok Interchange hawker on Sunday.. We had our favourite yong tau foo.. After breakfast we accompany mummy to Hair Inn to get her hair color.. 3 person choosing 1 hair color.. can imagine how much noise we make in the shop.. I even told the hairstylist that if the color effect does not appear what we choose.. we will tear down his shop.. cause he is doing the Empress dowager's hair leh!

After settling mummy's bill, we went swimming in Bedok.. It was a treasure hut swim for me.. I found fish bone, fish meat and plaster in the pool.. 1st, I found fish bone.. I thot my eyes playing trick on me.. so I reconfirmed by going into the water to check.. then I told Dear M that there is fish in the pool.. he thot there is a dead fish.. When he saw it, he feel like throw out! Next, I found fish meat.. it looks so pale, it must be soaking there for many days..

I can't swim anymore.. cause my mind is so preoccupied by the fish.. Every lap that I swim, I start to treasure hut.. my whole mind was just to search for more funny thing in the pool.. I was hoping to find the fish head and tail.. haha! It was disgusting!! If my camera phone can put inside the water.. I would have taken a photo as memory.. haha!

"Lost and Found".. Kid size pant at the kiddy pool area..

No more Bedok swimming pool for me :(

Fish & Co

23.11.2006 - monthly outing with my usual kaki.. Amanda L, Evelyn, May and Shirley.. This time we chose to meet at Fish & Co.. Evelyn and Shirley were sick but they still make it.. look how important is our gathering.. hee!hee! It was fun.. as usually we "GOSSIP" & "Complaint" about everyone except us! wahahah! This is our way of relaxation for our stressful day..


Clam Chowder soup (with lotsa clam & seafood), Jungle Freeze (damn huge), seafood platter for 2 (actually can eat 4) & the leftover..


The glass house (just opp Dhoby Ghaut MRT).. got live band but they only play guitars.. Lotsa youngster..


I love the bar..

Eyelash Extension

I was considering whether to perm my eyelash or do an eyelash extension. I'm finally did it.. "eyelash extension".. It is such a bargain so I thot I should give it a try... at least I tried it before.. Now I don't have to curl and apply mascara for the next 2 months :) My eyes look so much BIGGER!!


Front view .. ok! I know I've got terrible dark eye ring.. No makeup mah!


Side view..


With my eye close..

It is comfortable.. at least I don't feel it is sticking on my eye.. but now I'm worry.. how do I swim? Me being so boy boy.. will have problem maintaining it :(

Painful Journey Home

I had a painful journey home yesterday.. I was suffering from gastric pain.. try to get a cab but nothing was available due to peak hour.. I had to take MRT.. from east line, transfer to north south line, transfer to north east line and then to LRT.. It was a painful journey to work this morning due to the bus breakdown.. It is a painful journey home.. I’m really down to my ass luck on Friday.

Convocation

Darling Vanessa and my convocation is on the 26 Nov 2006, it will held in Victoria Threate at the Empress Place.. but we are not attending the ceremony.. I do miss the school days.. We burn midnite oil to prepare for our exam.. and those days that we rushed for our project and dissertation.. After all the hard work, we finally got our pay back.. BSc (Hon) in Business - 2nd class upper honor :)

We plan to get our own photographer to take pictures for us..

My gown, mortar board & invitation card to my graduation ceremony :)

Yellow Clothes

I just received an email from the project leader who is organizing the meeting in BKK..

"As you will be in Thailand on Monday, traditionally people try to wear the color Yellow in honor of the King's 60 year rule. So on Monday, December 4, bring along some Yellow clothes to wear and join in the support of Thailand's beloved king"...

What has his birthday got to do with me? I do have a Victoria Secret yellow color panty.. maybe I should wear that in honor of the beloved King.. or I should buy 1 yellow dress and expense it to my company.. haha! :)

Bus Breakdown

The SBS bus that I took this morning broke down along Pasir Ris outside UMCi.. What a lucky day? It was already struggling while on the TPE highway.. It should have breakdown along the highway.. then I will get to take bus 27 to Tampines.. Once that bus moved into Pasir Ris, I'm only left with 1 choice *arghh*.. It was frustrating, hot, stuffy and crowded.. The bus driver gives each a free ride coupon which is valid for a month but most people use it to board the next bus to their destination. I pity those who board the bus after UMCi bus stop this morning, cause the bus is damn FULL.. In the morning rush hours although the bus frequency is regular but it is so damn crowded.. Wasted quite a bit of time waiting for the bus.. feel so sticky and tired now..

Reached office at 8.55am.. not late tho.. but also no breakfast :(

Nightmare

My nightmare will start next week...

2 of my colleagues are going to BKK for meeting next week.. I just heard my manager taking leave starting tomorrow.. She will be in office on & off next week.. All rushing to clear their last year vacation days.. *bitter smile* :(

I've tons of work to clear.. and me too.. I'm leaving for BKK on 03Dec for meeting.. how to complete all my works and theirs before I go??

Baby Julian is 4m Old

Baby Julian is 4 months old on 20.11.2006 and he had his first hair cut..

He is so sweet.. I feel like eat him up..

Julian, your mummy owe me 1 bite leh.. some more she bite me on my face when I was a baby.. I can finally take my revenge.. I'm going to bite you someday.. hee!hee!

Sesame Bread with Spam

I passed by a bread shop along Pasir Ris MRT this morning and brought a huge sandwich for breakfast.. They have different variety of breads.. sambal chicken bread, chicken with mushrrom, sushi bread etc.. all looks so nice.. maybe I'm really hungry...

I got this..

Sesame bread with spam.. got lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise.. I just love spam.. I know is fattening and unhealthy :(

French Musical

I've got 4 tickets to the Notre Dame de Paris, Singapore's First French Musical Spectacular.. for the last show on 19 Nov 2006, 3pm at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.. Per ticket price S$198 + S$2 sistic booking fee..

4 papers worth S$800..

Dear M, Darling Vanessa, Cutie Johnie and myself went for this musical.. The duration of the musical is 2.30hrs with 20 mins interval.. The musical is in French with English and Chinese subtitles..

They sang very well.. It was a beautiful musical except we don't understand a single French.. we have to read the subtitle.. After the musical, we went to East Coast hawker for dinner.. We had BBQ chicken wings, satays, hokkien fried prawn mee, oysters omelette, spring roll.. follow by milk shake and McFurry from East Coast Mcdonald.. We had a great time at the carpark enjoying our dessert and playing with cutie Johnie's car. I like his car so much.. cosy & comfortable.. got sofa behind with 2 x big cushions for me to hug..

The synopsis..
The musical is faithful to Victor Hugo's original novel "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", unraveling the story of Quasimodo, the bell ringer of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, who is an ugly hunchback but has a beautiful mind, Esmeralda, an attractive gypsy woman, and Frollo, the provost of the cathedral who falls victim to a desire for love..

Lily & Roses

Lily and roses.. The roses have two tones!!

I love Lily.. it smell so fresh.. and the wrapper got smell too!

The Day! Exclusive Screening

Finally the day of the event (17 Nov 2006, Fri).. The exclusive screening of James Bond - Casino Royale.. Everything went well.. Jumbo hotdogs and coke for give away..

Vannie/AF, Wynne/KE and myself handled the reception.. Well organized! Tickets were given out smoothly.. Show started at 7.15pm.. most seated around 7.00pm and watched our advertisement.. Jack/KE, Wynne/KE, Kelly/AF and myself stuffed ourselves with jumbo hotdogs.. and the cinema manager gives us 3 free pop corns.

Jumbo hotdogs and coke..

Macaroni Cheese & Sunflowers

I went to Cold Storage at CP on Thur.. I love to go super market.. can enjoy air condition and browse around.. but I usually ended up buying something..

Marcaroni Cheese? Something new.. on promotion at S$1.75.. This is darling Rozana's flavour.. There are many other instant pasta available but I'll try this first..

Sunflowers, dwarf size.. don't know if it will grow.. I don't really have green finger..

New Clothes

Even since we moved office to kampung area.. I haven't been shopping.. save money? I don't think so.. I was at Raffles Place for meeting 3 weeks ago.. Shop after the meeting with my manager.. I got 2 tops and 1 skirts from OAMC.. Total damage: S$120+.. not too bad! I need to dress nicely... to motivate myself to work everyday :)

I still have 1 pair of shoe from Pazzion that I've been aiming for a while.. Only S$69.. should I buy it or not.. I'm fighting with myself.. Left brain says YES, Right brain says NO.. HOW?? I'm struggling..

Depress

US Embassy called this morning.. to check if an American citizen who is a destitute boarded the plane this morning back to US. When you travel oversea for holiday.. it is always happy.. How did he end up penniless? Was he cheated?

Not sure what happen to me recently.. even the slightest things make me feel depress.. Where are all the beautiful things that I’m suppose to see and look forward??

My feeling

~ I feel tired and breathless ~

"Money is the root of all evil"...

I saw a disturbing scene this morning that affected my mood.. I decided to skip breakfast..

At PL MRT station this morning, I saw this guy who looks a little low IQ asking for S$1 from every passerby.. He says he need S$1 for bus fare.. Is he desire for money, or greed for money?? Not many gives.. Maybe 1 out of 20.. Does this mean Singaporean have no sympathy? Would you give him that dollar? If you give, are you falling into his trick?

Ferrari

I received a call from my brother on Sunday… He says mum wants a Ferrari from Shell. I’m in shock! Why would mum want a Ferrari model car??? She is not a Ferrari fan, not a F1 supporter, not a car lover and not even a driver.. And the best of all, none of us pump Shell petrol.. According to my brother, you need to pump 22litres of petrol and pay S$2.95 for the Ferrari model car.. he seem to have done some homework ;-)

I called Xin at 1.30pm to check if his friends pump Shell.. By 3.55pm, I received a surprise MMS..

Ferrari driving towards you.. hehe!

So mum.. your godson got you the Ferrari.. :-P

Baby Hugo

Hugo's mum just email me Baby Hugo latest photo.. and he grow so much..

Here is Hugo's pic in 2001 and his 1st Halloween..

Today, our baby Hugo is so big..

Exclusive Screening

I've another project on hand... It is the exclusive screening for the movie James Bond - Casino Royale.. This morning, I went to Orchard Cineleisure to do a trial run of the Skyteam commerical.. Everything went well.. *cross finger* .. hope nothing goes wrong on the actual day..

I did a site inspection at the Cineleisure.. There is a Cinecafe that serve affordable foods.. Look tasty and it opens till 3am on Sat/Sun/Eve of Public Holiday.. I want to go try the foods someday..

Invitation card to our client... no James Bond allowed... no copy right leh..

Got games and internet..

I also found out that they have another private room for function.. which link to a small cinema that can cater to 68 paxs.. I'm so excited over this event.. as I can meet with my kaki again for a Skyteam rendezvous.. ;-)

Vivo City

I went to Vivo city for dinner last nite... It is suppose to be the biggest mall in Singapore.. Shops are only on the 1-3rd floor and basement 2.. I took 1 hours and completed the place.. *surprise*.. Maybe I've been to even bigger mall before.. so this is chicken feet to me. haha! I don't find it great for shopping.. but the outdoor looks fantastic.. I can see Star Cruise and Sentosa from there..

The chef was previously from the popular Mandarin Hotel - Chatterbox.. but no queue leh..

Chicken taste good.. dark sauce taste better then the chilli sauce..

Btw, the "discrimination" sign board at the Candy shop is no where to be found. They probably learn their lesson and decided to take it out.. ;-)

Relaxing Nite

Went to NTUC yesterday.. brought tom yam instant noodle, salted fish dry noodle, condense milk and bacardi freeze peach..

Had my barcadi freeze at the balcony..

I drink the bacardi freeze peach.. read magazine.. surf the net.. and I finally went online to chat.. I've disappear from msn chat for awhile.. Not many frens online last nite but I had a short chat with Benneth, James & Johnie..

I think I knock off at around 11pm.. sleep like a baby.. too lazy to wake up this morning..

Weekend 11/5: Swim, Tan and Betting

Went to Aljunied to swim… the sun was not too hot but enough to get tan..

Dear M and me went to Aljunied market for wanton mee, swim and sun tan.. we even found a 3 months cardio boxing class... class is full for now but they will notified us for new class..

Used to come & eat wanton mee with mum and siblings.. The stall still exists and it is passed down to the children..

I even learned to bet on footballs for the 1st time in my life.. Dear M gave me a crash course on how to bet footballs.. Didn't know there are so many different ways of betting.. *EYE OPENING*.. We wanted to bet total goal and actual score... but look at the return, it seem like the popular demand payout really low and it is not worth the effort.. so we decided to do it in a daring way.. buy the one that have a better payout (mean less popular lah).. we took 4 total goals and 2-2 actual score for Spur vs Chelsea.. And we made a mistake in 1 of the bet.. was suppose to bet 2-2 actual score but when we colour the ticket.. we get so excited that we color 22 instead of the selection 18.. and we ended up buying the score 1-2 and for S$10 bet, the payout is only S$43.. so miserable.. For 2-2 score, payout is S$20.. so I bet another S$10.. if win, payout will be S$200..


My virgin bet... but I lost everything cos Spurs win Chelsea 2-1.. *unbelievable*.. Spurs never beats Chelsea on home ground for the past 19 years.. *sighz*

Saturday 11/4: Babysit Julian

I spend my Saturday baby sitting Julian..

Julian's activities everyday is sleep, drink milk and poo poo.. We took so many photos of this little darling.. including his poo poo..

Julian's poo poo.. nice and soft butt..

At around 6pm, we decide to go shopping at CP but his inexperience mum actually forgot to bring sarong… so we have to rotate and carry him on our arm.. While shopping at Metro, Jie passed Julian to me and I smell something funny… follow by farting sound from his butt.. *OMG* our dear poo poo prince, poo poo again.. so we have to rush for the nursing room from 2nd floor to 4th floor. After all the rush, we continue shopping.. at around 7.10pm, we went to cold storage to buy some grocery… while queuing to make payment, I realized Baby Julian keeps smelling my breast… so I ask Jie, he think I got milk huh? Jie looks at her watch and scream… it feeding time.

While we rush home, he sleeps at my arm… such a peaceful look when he sleep… so sweet and cute.. really feel like eat him up!!

My arm is aching today after carrying a 6.3kg Julian for almost 2 hours..

Shameful Candy Shop at Vivo City

Unbelievable and insensitive sign by Candy Empire at Vivo City..

"Please do not bring your trolley or wheelchair into the shop"

It is discrimination against the physically disabled and elderly. Instead of putting up such sign, Candy shop should be offering additional assistance to wheelchair users.. How many wheelchair bound customer do you expect in a day? where is their customer service? where is their empathy?

We should boycott this shop that has a lack of understanding for people with physical disabilities..

Inconsiderate Act

Last evening, I travel on MRT to City Hall… It was the super peak hours and the train is jam pack!! I was standing next to this inconsiderate a$$hole.. I feel like knock that fellow on his head and ask him to wake up.. "this is not your personal train, you are in a public transport, Idiot"!!

He hold 1 on his right hand and 2 on his left hand.. I’m left with nothing.. Lucky my balancing skill is good..
