I had a big presentation on Friday.. I spend lots of time preparing with the help of my client.. The event went well.. the turn up rate was good.. My GM gives me great support.. He gives 2 free round trip tickets as lucky draw and he was present at the event :P

My client was very nice to arrange for us to use their penthouse for presentation.. their penthouse is so grand.. the set up was like hotel.. there are rostrum, microphone, projector and even sound system.. I'm so impressed..



I prepared 60 pieces of door gifts, 7 gifts for Q&A sessions and 2 roundtrip air ticket to Japan for lucky draw..

The lunch was catered and sponsored by us.. tasted good.. total bill S$1500..

Julian 1st Competition

Last Sunday, we went to support Julian 1st baby competition..

Had breakfast with Mum, Bro D & Dear M at Bedok Interchange hawker center.. after breakfast, we went jalan jalan to CK.. brought mum a 3/4 jean.. follow by NTUC.. then we went to Kaki Bukit CC to give support to our dearest Julian.. It was so crowded and warm.. the result will only be out around 12.30pm.. so Dear M and me decided to go walk around

Julian at Kaki Bukit CC..

Julian didn't win anything.. I should let Julian sit there for a photo :)

Dear M and me walked to McDonald and we ordered a strawberry sundae as I was craving for it a few days ago.. the service crew was so nice to gives me extra strawberry.. After McDonald, we went to Chin Siong to buy tibits..



Strawberry Sundae with extra strawberry *yummy* :)

We walked till this familar place... Me and Jie Jie school.. so many memories flashed back.. school changed a lots.. so much nicer.. so much bigger..



My school

I'm Flat!

I've been really busy whole of last week.. busy till I can't breath.. so many bidding going on.. so many things happen in our industry.. so many changes.. need to grab the chance now to boost business.. I even cancelled my trip to Japan.. Finally, it is weekend.. next week would be another tough week :(

The Day Have Arrive

The day have finally arrive.. I've a mixed feeling.. sad and happy.. very confuse.. We have been talking, gmail chatting, texting about his move.. I supported his move but when the day finally arrive.. I can't bear to see him go *tear roll down* :(

Moh makes the announcement of his departure today.. I feel like crying.. He is going to be so far away from me.. I know the move is good for him.. anyhow he has to go back to USA this year if he does not move on to other company.. no way for him to stay in the company without moving back to USA.. Actually I know he was going.. since last Nov, he already told me that this company will be creating a new position that fits him.. and the position was finally created.. he send in his resume before he left for Safari.. he told me that they got him to fly first class to Geneva for interview.. we chat one day after he return to Japan and he told me that the HR will call him that nite to let him know.. he text me with the good news (but I didn't received it).. he scold me on gmail.. complaining that I never reply his text.. He got the offer.. big package!! he has to wait for the contract.. and he finally signed it.. and announce his departure to the world..

Wasn't feeling so sad through out the whole process.. I was actually very supportive.. but when the day arrive.. I'm lost!! I'm going to Japan on May 11 to attend his farewell party.. I'm going to cry.. I hate it.. I hate you :( you are an idiot who leave me behind.. we chat a lots about our works.. he is a good listener.. listen to all my nagging and grumble about my works.. Giving me support and encouragement..

I should be happy.. at least he is not going to work for my competitor.. he is going for a big job in Geneva.. I'll get free foods and lodging.. Geneva! I'm coming soon!!

Barbie Perm

Early morning.. took my first urine for test.. went to the clinic at around 9.30am to submit my urine.. I'm so bore and free.. roam around and I decided to perm my eye lashes.. check out the price.. normal perm for S$18 and barbie perm for S$30.. Of cos, I go for barbie perm ;)

Relax

Johnie went to BKK for holiday last Fri.. and he should be back today.. He needed a break badly.. Me too.. I also needed a break.. I'm so jealous.. I told him to get me a Naraya name card holder.. I know he is going to get it for me :)

Before he left on Fri.. got sms from him.. "winnie gal i go off le. call me if you need to change your mind.. use 018 to dial k".. "next time we plan with others go hk or taipei ba!".. He is so sweet to text me.. but you are like rubbing salt to my wound lor.. go lah! go enjoy and leave your poor gal behind!! :(

Bloody Stalker

Almost every morning.. I would see this stalker on board the same bus as me.. He will always choose to stand right in front of where I sit.. The bus that I took does not sit 2 by 2.. instead it is in vertical row.. that bloody fellow would just stand right to my face.. bcos he know that I would go off at the usual bus stop.. and once I get up.. he would go for my seat. I just can't stand him anymore.. There are so many regular faces on board that bus each morning (at least I can identify some).. some even drop off the same stop as me.. why must he choose me?? My seat smell nicer ah?? I just feel so uneasy especially when I know he purposely stand in front of me.. his face is getting more and more irritating.. he is short, skinny and with a rat face!!

The water is so clear and clean.. many doggies were there on Sat morning.. the doggies look so relax and enjoying.. some smaller doggies even have a life jacket on them.. so kawaii..

Time for Overhaul

My HP IPAQ phone went in to HP service centre for an overhaul.. I'm now using an old Nokia without camera :( I'm handicap.. I miss the calendar, notes, tasks, contact, mms, camera function.. etc..

My poor phone.. I really miss you :(

Emergency Drill

(12.03.07 - Mon) This morning, I went to airport office for AF/KLM/NW table top emergency drill.. I was happy.. cos I get to meet my colleagues at the airport.. It is always so fun and nice to see this group of fun-loving people..



Drill started around 9am.. Everyone acting busy.. I roam around the room cos I'm just an observer :)



After the table top drill.. we moved on to T2 relative holding area.. This is the room that was used during SQ crash in Taipei.. In this room, those acted as family members make so much noise and many request.. we tried to be as nasty as we can.. lots of laughter.. It is fun to drill and get yourself prepared.. but we pray hard that accident never happen..

The drill ended around 11.50am.. I was damn hungry.. went lunch with Patrick and my other colleagues at T2 staff canteen.. Had salmon teriyaki bento at S$4.90.. *yummy* :)

Shopping

(11.03.07 - Sun) Give swimming a miss this week.. Dear M & me went shopping.. Went to Suntec early to beat the crowd of the PC show.. without trouble.. we find a parking lots.. walked over to Millenia Tower Killiney for breakfast..



half boilded eggs, kaya butter toast, nasi lemak, kopi & tea..

Not too crowded at the PC show as we are really earlier.. we met our friends Tony at LG booth run by Courts and another friend at Sharp booth run by Audio House.. Dear M wanted to get a 32" LCD tv.. so we get a good deal from both.. After comparison, we find LG giving a better deal.. Since today is the last day of the show.. we decided to return later in the afternoon.. hoping we will get an even better last min deal.. so we decided to proceed to Chinatown and keep in contact with Tony on the phone..

Reached Chinatown around 1.30pm.. and we dashed straight for my fave Chang Cheng congee.. The raw fish tasted so good and I finished the whole bowl of congee..

chicken congee, century egg congee and raw fish..

Went Chinatown to shop for clothes and ribbon.. we walked Pearl centre market 2nd and 3rd floor.. Brought a skirt and a big bag of toiletries.. Time flies, when we looked at our watch.. it was already 5pm.. so we decided to rush back to the PC show to make payment for the LCD TV.. Had a hard time looking for parking lots in Suntec, Marina Square, Conrad, Millenia Tower.. so decided to drive to Pan Pacific Hotel and we told the porter that we are going to dine there.. and they directed us to basement carpark :)

Meet Tony again for the paper work.. it was damn crowded.. I think the whole Singapore is in Suntec.. Left the place immediate after we settle the deal with Tony.. Too scary to stay there even for an extra mintue..

I'm hungry again.. so we went to Kovan for dinner.. had my fave Chao Cheng.. It was a long, tiring but exciting day for me :)



Steamed fish, kai lan, steamed grey fish, ngioh xiang..




Brought a pair of shoe from Charles & Keith at S$33.90 from Suntec and a skirt at S$29.90 from Chinatown.. Thank Dear M for the skirt :)

Finally! I Did It!!

I have finally taken the 1st step.. Took Hep A + B on Saturday.. 2nd jab will be 1 month later (10.04.07) and 3rd jab will be 5 months later (10.09.07).. Although there was no pain.. cos I choose my most trust worthy doctor to take this jab for me.. still I scream my life off..



Can't raise my hand on Saturday..

Super Long Presentation

09.03.07 (Fri) - I only did 3 things at work today.. Attended a 10am-1.30pm Emergency Drill.. Did a comparison chart for my manager.. she needs it urgently for a meeting in Bangkok this week.. and cleared emails.. so efficient :)

Super long presentation.. :(

Value

~*~*~*~

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200 people, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Many people raised their hands. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this. . ."

He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. Well, he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still everyone raised their hands. My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Home Cooked Dinner

Just feel like eating home cooked foods.. so I went to NTUC.. spend S$13.75 and I cooked enough for 4 - 5 persons..



Final products.. steamed red snapper (the fish not very fresh), lettuce with cuttlefish on oyster sauce and Princess San San hand made nigoh xiang.. still got 4 pieces in the fridge :)

Dietary Control

I've made up my mind to go for an extreme dietary control to improve my coronary risk.. I'm going to eat just plain, boring but healthy meal daily.. I plan to eat lotsa of vegetables, fish, soup and steamed items over the next 6 months.. maybe I'll reward myself one meal/per week with white meat.. then go for another blood test to check my cholesterol level again.. Long Life Bear Bear!!

Yong Tau Foo (broccoli, golden mushroom, green chilli, fishball, tau foo, bean spouts with bee hoon).. I had this at 12pm.. by 3pm.. I'm already hungry.. Must take in more carbo.. otherwise I'm going to loss weight again.. and that is not what the doc wants.. I just barely hit the BMI :(

Report Card

Collected my health report card last nite.. Doctor says the result "not too bad".. even some figures are slightly higher or above norm.. it is within an acceptable range..

- Lymphocytes 47% (ref ranges: 20-45%)
- Eosinophils 7 (ref ranges: 0.0-6.0)
these two items are related to white blood cell.. and it ranges slightly above ref.. The doc explain that it could due to eczema problem..

Total Cholesterol is 245mg/dl that is high.. This is also my biggest fear due to family history.. HDL is at 77.0 mg/dl (which is good).. LDL 153.0 mg/dl (ref ranges: less than 130).. I just don't understand how this really shot up.. even when I don't eat KFC, McDonald, Burger Kings, roe, chicken skins etc.. I've also cut down on seafood..

Hepatitis B Antigen, Hepatitis B Antibody and Hepatitis A Total Antibody are non-reactive.. Must take JABS!!

Urine RBC 13/uL (0-6 normal, 7-2250 abnormal).. cause I took it 5 days after my menses and I didn't take the mid stream of the urine..

Suggestion from doc:
1) Take Hep A+B immunization
2) Dietary control
3) Repeat urine test

I'm going to heed the doc advice :)

Bye Bye Cody!

The news came too sudden.. I'm so sad.. Thought he got stroke and will recover slowly :(

Cody is a good doggy.. whenever I go to darling Vanessa's house.. Cody will come to the door to welcome me.. when darling open the door.. he will come out.. roam around the corridor and when we are about to close the door.. he'll come back.. he won't go too far.. he always behave himself.. he will allow me to carry him.. even though he is already 9 years old (an old doggy).. but in our heart.. he is forever a baby.. and we will always love to pamper him..

All these memories keep flashing through my mind after losing him..

During our sch days.. we did group study at darling's house.. we ordered Osihi pizza.. darling gave the unagi to Cody and keep eating the crush.. and Cody also keep waging his tail for more chicken wing..

Years ago.. when we 1st got Baby and Buffy.. we bring them to Cody's place and the 3 maltese make friends.. when we are about to leave after a day of fun at darling's house.. Cody actually didn't want baby and buffy to go.. he is such a darling..

I also remember sometime Darling Vanessa will be late for our date.. and her excuse is she needs to lock Cody up.. and that smart little Cody will go hide.. whenever darling tell me how she needs to cheat that fellow to come out in order to lock him.. I just feel that he is so smart..

So many many nice memories of Cody.. I feel so sad that he have to go through this kind of pain.. I actually plan to visit Cody on 10Mar as I will be at Darling area for a house warming.. I'm just so sad that I didn't get a chance to see him or hug him before he is gone..

I know Cody must be feeling peaceful now.. relieve from pain.. He is going to be in heaven watching over darling Vanessa and family..

Bye Bye Cody.. We love you and We will miss you forever!!

Sunday with Family

Finally managed to spent time with mum & bro D..

Had my fave yong tau foo and chwee kueh with Dear M & mum.. Mum didn't eat cos she is vegetarian on the 15th day of the chinese calendar.. and my lazy bro D still sleeping so he miss the delicious breakfast.. After breakfast, we went home to pick up bro D.. and proceed to Loyang Da Pek Gong for pray pray.. Sunday is the last day of the Lunar New Year and the chinese 15th day of the month.. so it is a bit crowded.. we parked the car outside and took a slow walk in.. it is so smoky in the temple that my eyes keep tearing.. The temple were serving vegetarian bee hoon, hot & cold soya bean milk.. so we had our share.. it was plain but yummy.. This remind me of my childhood time, mum loves to bring me to temple on the 1st or 15th day of the chinese calendar for praying.. follow by free vegetarian foods.. my fave is fried bee hoon and spring roll.. Now is my turn to bring my mum to temple :)




Year 2007 is the golden pig year..

Sent mum home.. Dear M, Bro D and me proceed to Aljunied for a swim.. We swim several laps.. no sunshine therefore cannot do sun tan.. so we start chatting and playing in the pool.. We talked about playing tennis, squash, badminton, table tennis, jogging, gym.. ways to keep us healthy and fit.. keep talking till it starts to pour.. we have no choice but to change.. Bro D wants to go hair cut so we drop him off at Bedok.. then Dear M & me decided to have an early dinner..



Curry chicken and curry veg.. with roti..

After dinner, we went jalan jalan to help digest the foods.. Dear M has been telling me about Myojo Onion Chicken flavour instant noodles.. but being an expert in instant noodle.. I don't believe there is such flavour.. so we decided to go NTUC to search for it.. and we brought crispy seaweed with wasabi and lotte Japanese 75% cocoa dark chocolate..



onion chicken flavour!! :(

Life is Tough

Life is tough.. even as a snail..

This morning, I walked and accidentally kick on a poor little snail.. who happily after a day of rain.. decided to walk out to enjoy the breeze and maybe for some fresh air.. and parked itself at the centre of the pathway.. That poor little snail roll twice and end in an up-side-down position.. I quicky and proficiency apologize to the poor little snail.. "I'm SORRY!" :)

Drama II

I finally grab my courage and went to Tan Tock Seng Hospital yesterday.. I know sooner or later they are going to put that needle on me.. cos they wanted my blood so badly.. still I managed to escape it yesterday :) I used my negotiation skill to bargain with the medical officer.. and they took 2 x-ray of my left shoulder and 2 x-ray of my left middle finger.. X-ray looks ok.. actually my bones are prefect :) hehe.. They suspect I'm suffering from arthritis.. therefore I'm scheduled to see the specialist.. I know the specialist is going to take my precious blood for many types of test.. No way to escape liao!! :(
