Drama!

Went to Raffles Medical last nite.. I was suffering from flu and dry throat for the past few days.. shoulder pain + stiffness and left middle finger PIPJ swelling since Monday.. The doctor keeps saying we need to do investigation.. so he issued me a letter to Tan Tock Seng Hospital A&E and he wanted me to go immediate..

Of course I didn't go last nite.. as I was thinking.. by the time I finish with A&E.. it would probably be 4am.. so I went home.. shower, pop flu and throat pill.. sleep.. This morning, I'm feeling better.. back in office today.. later I will go to TTS Hosp for X-ray and blood test..

Official Lunch

26.02.07 - We had office lunar New Year lunch at Tung Lok Paramount this year.. For the 1st time, HR & Finance joined us..

Chinese cuisine again for Lunar New Year.. so all restaurants are serving the same old thing..

Yu Sheng

Shark Fins with Cartilage

Abalone with lettuce and mushroom (6 headed abalone)

Oyster & Fatt Choy

Steamed Fish

Roasted Chicken

Eu Fu Noodle

Mango Pudding

S$825.60+++ for 12 paxs

~*~*~*~

Shark Cartilage have great benefits.. it will temporary relief of arthritis pain, temporary relief of inflammation associated with arthritis, symptomatic relief and management of psoriasis assisting in maintenance of general well being, supporting maintenance and repair of joint tissue & joint lubrication... but I don't fancy it.. I prefers the cheapskate shark fin..

I was telling Shirley and May.. the foods seem the same as what we had with Eve and Amanda L at InterContinental last week :(

Good Buy

My ex-boss Nancy was in town for Lunar New Year.. meet her and hubby-James for lunch at Lucky Plaza.. They have been craving for local foods.. and chilli..

I was early for the date.. so went shop around and managed to grab 1 new top and 1 dress..



Top at S$33.90


It looks over size on me.. the cutting make me looks like I'm pregnant.. but I don't care.. this is the latest style.. something the same from Zara and MNG would cost me S$99-S$200.. I love this retro print on the dress... price is even better at S$39.90..

Unusual Lucky Sunday

25.02.07 - Sunday again.. eat so much over the past few days.. and I'm not feeling good.. My throat very dry and I had a bad flu.. so we had porridge.. Dear M had silver fish porrdige and I had shredded chicken porridge.. we even added a century egg.. After a hearty breakfast, we went to the near by Singapore pool to buy the Hong Bao Toto.. A yearly big draw.. If I win, I can quit my job liao.. haha!

After getting our TOTO tickets, we dropped by at Koo Chye Pa temple.. it was so crowded & smoky.. Have to come back again next week with mum.. and we must be early otherwise it is going to be crowded again..



Tiger God and Lotsa of Pigs.. and in different colours..

Left Koo Chye Pa Temple and we proceed for our usual swimming session.. followed by dinner.. On the way home, we came face to face at the junction with "lighting car".. new year.. new luck and I'm so happy :)



nice nice leh..

Yu Sheng with Meow Meow

23.02.07 - Had Loh Hei with Meow Meow and colleagues.. this is my 4th loh hei for this lunar New Year.. Over the past 3 years (I think), I've been doing loh hei with Meow Meow... and I usually get it from The Soup Restuarant.. This year, I brought this from Coca International and I went to Isetan at Orchard to get additional salmon for them.. so no complaint that they cannot find the fish.. hehe! :)

Yu sheng from Coca.. Raw salmon from Isetan.. fresh and tasty..

Eye Contact

~*~*~*~

"Eye Contact" is an important part in establishing relationships and making sales. We are all fortunate to work with people, cultures, and traditions from around the world. While these tips may not all perfectly fit your particular market, they serve as good reminders as to what we might or should do with our eyes during sales meetings:

- Looking at people and meeting their eyes are the first steps toward establishing relationships and making good impressions.
- It is recommended to make short frequent glances at others in social situations.
- Making eye contact for too long can be seen as threatening.
- Failing to look at others may cause suspicion as they may wonder what you might be hiding.
- Honesty and the ability to look someone in the eye are very closely related.
- Refusing to make eye contact may also send a message of arrogance, communicating to the other person that they are insignificant.

Happy Birthday JaMohKa

Loh Hei with the Usual Kaki

Had dinner with the usual (Amanda L, Evelyn, May and Shirley) at Man Fu Yuan @ InterContinental.. Eve and me were 10 mins early so we went shop shop around Bugis.. For the 1st time, I enter this shop called "WOMB".. I've been curious about this shop as it looks like they have really nice clothes but the shop name always make me think twice.. I'm afraid they are selling pregnancy clothes.. so I usually look from outside.. With Eve around, we took the courage to go in.. I think the clothes are from local designer.. looks ok.. but price is a bit steep.. so we end up empty handed..



Dinner was sponsored by Eve.. cause she got a promotion last month.. Upon arrival with Eve, I got a shock by the pricing.. they had the Lunar New Year menu.. most of the dishes are price as per person.. so we only order those that are charge by per portion (cause per portion is good for 4-5 persons).. We had salmon yu sheng, oyster fa choi with lettuce, bbq combination (suckling pig, roasted duck, char siew and jelly fish), ee-fu noodle with scallop & golden mushroom, half roasted chicken with garlic.. total damage around S$200+ .. not that bad..

After dinner, we had ice-cream at Swensen.. All ordered sundaes except Amanda L and me as we are really too full to stuff ice-cream into our tummy.. I had frozen freeze orange sorbet flavor :)

Next month onwards.. dinner will be dutch till the next big day in June (May & me birthday)..

Bear with Flower

Dear M brought me a Swarovski bear holding flower.. This is the one that Meow Meow wanted to buy for me :)



so cute.. just like me!!

Sunflower

My sunflower finally bloom during Lunar New Year!!



I'm so happy... wonder if it will grow bigger :)

Sushi & Tepanyaki

Nice and yummy dinner :)

New Laptop

Was suppose to get a new laptop before my trip to USA then it delayed.. IS told me, it should be here when I return.. and I return to office after my trip.. laptop is still not here.. bcos Dell USA and Dell Malaysia cannot communicate.. Story run this way..

we paid Dell USA
and Dell Malaysia was suppose to deliver
then Dell Malaysia said we never pay
so they refuse to release the laptop
but Dell Thai, Dell China, Dell Taiwan already deliver the laptops to our other offices
It is either Dell Malaysia too smart or too stupid
so our HDQ had to get Dell USA to settle this with their counterpart
I wonder if the network in Thai, China and Taiwan work faster that why they received the instruction or email from US faster than Malaysia.. (which cannot be lor.. cos our IS personnel complaint so much about the China network)..
After all the confusion, I got my laptop on Monday



My new state-of-the-art light weight laptop (i think around 1.2 kg).. widescreen that plays dvd :)



My old, heavy and slow laptop.. with docker..

Sunflower Blooming

Finally I saw the little bud.. that look like the flower coming out :)



My little sunflower.. (in the centre)..

Reunion Dinner @ Coca

We are so delighted when the little prince arrive at the restaurant.. everyone were busy attending to him.. even the waiter and waitress gather around to play with our little Julian..

We had to make sure our little prince finish his dinner 1st before we start.. Baby Julian very kwa.. he eats the veg porridge happily.. he keep opening his mouth for more..

Our "xiao dong kwa" enjoying his dinner..



Our "Yu Sheng".. very special.. it had the crispy crab sticks.. very yummy!



Even Julian want to do the "loh sheng"..

After Yu Sheng, we had steamboat.. i think the waiter cannot handle us.. as we keep ordering.. I think we almost ate 1 cow cause my little sis & bro love the suki beef so much.. We clear everything that we ordered :)

Chinese New Year Cookies

On Saturday morning, I baked almond cookies and corn flakes cereal for Chinese New Year.. Mum been asking me if I'm baking the almond cookies this year.. It been 2 years since I last bake almond cookies and my first try on corn flakes cereal.. so I'm a bit garang-gabo..

Health Screening

Had my blood test on Sat morning for my bi-yearly health screen..

I think she took 3 small bottles of my blood.. probably around 10 cc.. I was too scare to look at it.. Just 10cc of bloods and they can test on liver, glucose, thyroid, blood platelet count, hepatitis, cholesterol, stool, urine.. they also give me 2 free test on cancer.. I choose breast and ovarian test which is important for women..



No pain & blue black at all..

I'm sad!

Alien has invaded my house.. I haven't been talking since Sat nite till today.. I wake up at 6.10am this morning and was out of house by 6.45am.. just to avoid the alien.. How long can I do it? My mind is not at peace.. script running through my brain every sec.. I hate this kind of feeling..
