Company X'mas High Tea

I had my 1st company X'mas high tea yesterday at RP.

Met 27 of my colleagues (from same department).. I went RP from client office and everyone depart from CBP office.. I was 5 mins late cos I bump into a supplier while on my way.. My manager is always very nice to me.. she text me and ask if I've arrival.. she didn't want me to be miss out from the event.. when I arrived, she get me a seat next to her so she can chat with me.. she even introduced every colleagues to me from table to table..

The high tea food is not really that fantastic but we had a great time chatting..

Initially I tot I will be out of place.. but the fact is.. everyone talk to me.. and I mixed in fairly well :)

Do You Know This Guy?

Ever what to know how Moh (my BFF) look like with hair?

This funny fellow sent me his latest photo with HAIRSSSsssss... & ask me if I like it?

My 2007 1st X'mas Present

Last night received my 2007 1st X'mas Present... It was from a friend who live 5000 miles away from me..

ZZZzzzzz

Slept at 2:30am last night.. I badly need to go bed now.. ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

New Hairstyle

Last night I log on to my laptop at 10pm and work till 1:30am..

Surprising that I was able to wake up at 10:30am today.. I decided to make an appointment to do my hair.. It has been a mess for awhile and I badly need to do something to it.. To make myself look fresh and happy once again!

Went to see my hairstylist Alan.. and I had a digital perm.. wahaha! The end result is satisfactory.. I like it cause I feel I have more hairs... more volume.. I can now tie it up, bun it and let it down without worry about the hair look out of shape.. cause perm hair is suppose to be messy!! The only problem is... I cannot wash my hair for the next 48 hours :(

Relaxing Friday

Left office since noon.. went to Orchard Road to meet Evelydn and ah boy for lunch..

We had lunch at "Pi Feng Kang".. Ah boy highly recommended the char siew noodle.. we ordered a fried beancurd with carrot and mushroom, spanish with century egg and salted egg, 2 char siew noodle and 1 shredded chicken hor fun.. total damage S$28.. ah boy paid for it.. lunch was really enjoying.. then we proceed to Starbuck for kopi.. as usual ah boy want vanilla latte, Evelydn ordered a mocha latte and me cafe latte.. (I'm simple.. or you can say I'm boring!)

After kopi, we went shopping.. check out bags and wallets at Lowe, Tods, Bottega, LV etc.. ah boy and Evelydn had to wait for me while I take a conference call on the road.. haha! Then we proceed to Evelydn's new office to chit chat.. and we met Evelydn's only colleague, Maria.. we had lots of laughter and nonsense in the office..

Ah boy and I decided to continue our adventure at DFS... follow by dinner at Hans. Evelydn called and she came by to join us.. haha! after all that, the 3 of us are together again.. While ah boy went to the washroom, he received an sms from Jack.. Jack was at our office area and wanted to meet up for a quick drink but ah boy is on leave.. then Jack called me.. and I told him, haha! I'm also not in office.. I'm with your best friend.. ah boy.. haha!! Jack was suppose to come to town to meet us but he was waiting for Clarence and we waited till 8pm.. both Evelydn and myself was tired.. so we decide to go off..

Before we left the place, Evelydn and myself went to check out some hair salon.. I'm considering whether to get a hair cut or perm it..

It was fun today... haven't had such a great time since I was very busy with all the negotiation..

I still miss the industry people very much :)

I'm an Invited Guest!

I was being invited to SkyTeam event.. as a guest this time! The feeling is different.. seeing my ex-colleagues and partners working..

I met many old time friends and ex-customer..

I enjoyed the evening :)

Hooray! Nego Completed

Hooray.. India negotiation and recommedation completed.. feel so relieved and happy.. hopefully no more late night work!!

Counting down

Counting down for baby Chelsea arrival.. 1/13/2008.. I'm so happy for Meow Meow and keep reminding her not to forget to call me when she deliver..



This is Chelsea at 24 weeks..

Regret or not?

wow.. it been so long time since I last blog..

My new job is really taking up a lots of my time.. I've been working from 8am - 10pm almost any other day.. I'm hopeful that it would only be this period.. after Dec, life will be better :)

Neglecting friends and loved one.. Lacking time to do my own activities.. blogging, swimming, clubbing, sleeping, reading, chatting.. Many friends have smsed me... asking me how am I? Cos I just disappear from their life.. they know my jobs is tedious and they began to ask me if I regret it or not?

Biggest fear in human when changing a job from familiar to new environment.. I've seen friends job hopping ever since they quit the initial job... but my answer is firm.. NO! I never regret.. I just need more time to suit myself into this new environment..

Visit to Buffy & Her Puppies

20.10.07 (Sat)

Went to visit Buffy and her puppies.. she is such a cute, brave, lovely, smart dog.. She actually know how to take care of her puppies.. She was so excited when she see me.. She ran in and out of the room just to welcome me.. but she was also worry about her puppies.. You can see how funny she is.. and she even count her puppies just to make sure they are still around.. She is so motherly..

I can't get near her puppies as she is worry that we may take them away.. when I step too near, she will jump into the box to protect them.. The scene is so touching..

After the visit, I went downstair with mum.. got her new sock, clothes and shoe.. We had a nice and hearty dinner.

Buffy + Furby + Furfy + Doffy

17-10-07 (Thur)

Received a call from Unqiue... "Buffy gives birth at home"...

I was so worry so I called jie jie to book a cab and emergency appointment for Buffy. Dress up and rush to the petrol station to pump fuel.. then drove 100km/hr to Mount Pleasant Hospital at Whitney Road. Jie Jie came after I shortly arrived. Buffy already delivered 3 puppies (Furby, Furfy and Doffy). She was feeding them. She saw me and refuse to feed them.. I know she want me to hug her but I'm so worry that I may hurt her.. She is really an amazing dog.. she can jump just after she gives birth.



I'm just so happy that Buffy and her babies are all fine and healthy.

How to be an Octopus?

Aiya.. what my boss said is so right..

I get request from all Asia countries.. OMG.. Need to turn myself into an octopus to entertain every single request :(

Mum is Sick

Received a miss call and a sms from Jie Jie.. “call me urgent”..

And mum’s having fever at 39C and rashes..

I'm in office today.. so can't go pick her up :(

Goodbye Uncle Wu

Attended Uncle Wu's funeral today..

He is already 74 and had been suffering from bone cancer for awhile.. I feel it is a relieved for him and his famliy.. Many friends and relatives attended the cremation..

This is the 2nd time I go to Mandai cremation.. 1st time was for Helen.. It was sad because she is a nice girl and I'm glad her husband cremented her when they found the body in Krabi.. at least I don't have to go to the viewing hall.. Today I went to the viewing hall and out of sudden it reminded me of daddy.. my eye turn teary immediately :(

It been a long time since I lost someone.. I really don't like this kind of feeling..

Jie Jie is Hospitalized

Jie Jie is hospitalized for 1 day :(

Sweet baby Julian has recovered and turn into a monkey (that is what popo says).. but Jie Jie think that he has turn into baby devil and use his little power to transfer his germ to Jie Jie..

Jie Jie has fever, stomache clump, vomit and terrible headache.. She is 4 months pregnant so we are all very worry about her.. She is admitted for 1 night and is now on drip :(

I hope she get well soon :)

Darling Julian is Sick

Baby Julian was admitted to KK Hospital yesterday..

He was not feeling well since Monday.. He vomit and diarrhea all day.. He went into fits yesterday noon when he was playing in the room with popo. Jie Jie was cooking congee for this little prince.. He shocked the whole family.. His eye was closed, no reaction.. Jie Jie rushed him to the clinic and then admitted him to KK Hospital.

When I reached his ward, he was quietly asleep.. and he look so cute and handsome in the hospital clothes.. I brought a balloon and hope he get well soon!

And thank god, he was discharge today noon.. Jie Jie says he was busy hi-five and bye bye with the nurses.. he is also active running around the ward.. I'm glad he has regained his energy..

Don't be sick again little prince.. everybody is so worry about you and I think he has the most visitor last night :)

It's a Dream Job!!

Time flies.. already into 1st week of my new job..

Although I was only in office for 1 full day (to collect my badge, laptop, email access) and 2 half day (for meeting).. The rest of the week, I was working from home.. There is no honeymoon period as the team is busy with RFP. I'm trying to pick up as much as possible.. I need to quickly learn more on the region that I'm handling, the client requirement, the organization and agreement between my company with the client.. I'm off to a great start (that is what my US boss says!)

Everyone in my HQ and off site office have been very helpful and trying to get me familiar with the job.. my team has arranged conference calls for me with my colleagues in Guangzhou, Hong Kong & US to help me with my job.. and several trainings were set up.. so I don't really feel lonely or helpless..

I'm impressed with a big organization operation.. the response and support my manager gives me.. I requested for a change of laptop to X series and my manager gives approval to it immediately.. I was sent an invitation to change my workstation.. how wonderful.. and great support I got :)

I'm glad I moved on.. and I'm grateful for what I get :)

Happy Birthday Buffy

Shirley's Birthday Bash

Early celebration for Shirley's birthday.. Amanda L, Eve, May, Me and of cos birthday gal Shirley goes for buffet at Vienna International Seafoods and Teppanyaki located at United Square.. It is almost the same concept as the Paris-something in Marina Square.. but I think this one is better.. better value.. fresher foods..

Go For It

Before your reward, you must be labor.

A New Chapter of My Life

I finally did it!! I throw in my resignation letter last night.. It was difficult as I've been working here for 7 years.. This is the longest job that I ever hold.. there are many sentiments and fond memories left deeply-rooted in the company.. Yet, life goes on and I can only put this decision in my wishes to pursue greater heights in my career in a more challenging environment.

I'm not sure what is ahead for me.. but as for now.. I know my new colleagues in US/Asia are looking forward for me to join them.. and I do look forward to my new job (bigger responsibilities & bigger pay check).. It is like entering a new chapter of my life.. I'm looking forward to this change.. The new job is my dream job and I feel like it's a dream comes true :)

Stress Management

~*~*~*~

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it."

"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to continue. As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, set them down for a moment if you can."

"Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!

And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
* The second mouse gets the cheese.
* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
* We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
* A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Hectic Day

Yesterday was a super hectic day for me..

12:00am - Lunch
1:00pm - Meeting with Client 1
3:00pm - Meeting with Client 2

Dinner at Si Chuan Dou Hua Restuarant @ ParkRoyal Hotel.. was nice.. We had the set menu for 5.. it is at S$36.80++ per person

1) Four Delicacies Combination
- consider of spicy pork, sweet & sour prawn, long bean and the last dish that look like abalone (I think it is vegetarian style..or maybe some kind of mushroom.. not really sure)



2) Eight Treasure Sharks Fin & Seafood Soup (Green colour shark fin soup?? They added spinach and you only need to add pepper.. no vinegar require.. it was really tasty)



3) Spicy Seafood Combination (look like Thai curry.. and it goes well with the bun) My US Regional Director enjoyed this and he thinks that bun taste like some kind of marshmallow.. that was really funny!

4) Silver Cod Fish in two style (aiyo.. this one is damn good.. but I forgot to take pic)



5) Crispy Diced Chicken with Sweet Sour Paste (I was already full.. so just eat the green pepper and 2 bits of the chicken)



6) Stir-fried French Bean with Minced Meat



7) Sichuan Dan Dan Noodle (damn spicy.. it just burn your stomach)



8) Mango Pudding with dry ice..
