My niece grows taller

It had been 1 month and my niece seems to grow taller. I think by the time she is Primary six, may be of same height as me. Oh dear... I cannot shrink too much...

She was very obedient today. Did her homework even before my sis asked her to do it. She even finished it without wanting to let her mum know. By the time she was asked to do homework, she confidently said completed. She felt so satisfied when her mum was so pleased with her.

Today she watched Doremon from PPS. Quite unusual as she usually do not like to watch TV etc. Her exam results were good. Only a bit weak in her Science. However, her mum already very happy with her English and Chinese results. Her Maths and Science final results still not out yet. Hope she can get good marks. Now I have to think of something to buy as a present for her. Kind of rewarding her lah. :)

Watched all outstanding animes and j dramas today. Was busy for whole week and did not watch up to date episodes. Hope coming week will not be so busy and let me do my work at a slower pace.

Good luck and 加油吧!

2 Movies

Today, I had lunch with my mum at Sushi Tei. Ordered Mayonnaise Lobster since it had been a long time since we had it. As she usually stay at home during weekend, thought of giving her a treat to make her happy.

The lobster was good. Size was big too. With other dishes, we enjoyed the meal. My dad complained that I did not bring him to eat lobster when I came home tonight after watching movies. Told him to not to work lah. Then he can eat with us. Haha...



Watched 2 movies today. "The Incite Mill : 7 Day Death Game" and "Life As We Know It". Both were good and with different category. The Japanese movie was about mystery of death and the English movie was about a couple adopting their friends daughter after their death. Really glad that I did not miss "Life As We Know It". It was so touching in some scenes.


For "The Incite Mill : 7 Day Death Game", the plot was to let a group of strangers stayed in a place for 7 days. Without trust, they killed each other for survival. The group behind this game was to draw audience to watch how people kill one another. Very cruel game... Hope this will not happen in real life.

Saw trailer of another 2 Japanese movies. One of it has my idol ~ Okada Masaki. Look forward to the launching of these movies.

I heard from my mum that my niece got very good results in her recent exam. To compliment her, I bought some chocolates from Candy Empire for her. Hope she will like them when she comes tomorrow. Did not see her for almost 1 month. Has she grow taller???

Finally the day has come

It's such a long way to reach today. Was so tired and busy. Wish to have a good long sleep on Friday night (or shd I say Saturday morning since I will defintely sleep late.

I was so glad to lay on my bed yesterday and slept immediately. Still yet to recover the sleep I lost for past few days. Had a terrible headache and could not concentrate during a meeting this morning. I eyes are closing mid way of the meeting. Luckily never dozed off.

Need sleep sleep sleep uh!

Finally home

After 2 days of busy days, finally I am back home. Originally, I thought I can go home earlier tonight so that I can get more rest. However, we had a company gathering at The Queen and Mangosteen @ Vivocity since this was a good chance for us to meet up with our colleagues in another office (they will move to new office soon) and with our overseas colleagues who are in town.

This restaurant is very crowded and we were served with drinks and finger food. Surprisingly, the food was very nice. Especially the chicken wings and fries with chilli crab sauce. I was real tired after the 2 days event and my legs are so aching that I actually did not feel like going. However, with the nice food and some chit chatting, my exhaust gone and I felt happier after eating. Haha...

Good food turns tiredness away!!!

Tomorrow is Friday and after one more day, I can take a rest finally. Going to watch 2 movies this coming Saturday. Looking forward to it as we have stopped movies night for 2 weeks. :P

Tiring

So tired... Mentally and physically...

Slept at ard 4am due to some last minute issue popping out. Woke up at 6am. With the long hours of standing at our booth, I could not walk properly after the 9 hours of standing without enough sleep.

Went to another customer party and I was dragging myself to go with my colleagues. By time I reached hotel at 10.30pm, I was so exhausted and just laid on the chair. Simply did not want to move.

Had a hot shower and it makes me feel better now. Shall sleep "early" tonight as it will be another long day tomorrow. However, believe tomorrow will be more relaxing...

Full of surprises

Today we were busy preparing for our 2 days event starting from tomorrow. Last minute there were many changes to be made. Had to arrange transportation of a big model to the hotel and was so worried that we could not find transport co to do for us. Luckily, our event contractor managed to find their driver to help out.

The event coordinator also helped a lot and really thanks to those people who helped me to ensure all items were sent to the hotel on time.

Just back fm customer party and now so tired. Checked in Hard Rock Hotel at RWS and will only have few hours sleep. Tomorrow has to wake up at 5.45am!!!

Pray hard everything goes smoothly for next 2 days. :)

First visit to Sands Skypark

Today we had our first sales meeting in Singapore since I had joined this new company. It was a long session with lots of discussion that made each session over run. Ended up covering just half of the intended agenda. Not too sure we still have any time within this week that can continue with the rest of the agenda.

We will be busy on Wed and Thu as there is an event going on. I was so angry with the hotel organisor that his handling was so unprofessional. Complaint to the event organisor and he agreed that in future, better don't use same hotel again. New hotel with big convention area but no good service. Too bad...

Had dinner at Seafood Paradise at The Singapore Flyer. Was so full after eating and our boss told us that he had book a table at The Club at Marina Bay Sands to reward us for being so hardworking for past weeks. Although it was quite late but all of us still go. I may not pay for myself to go up to skypark. Since there is this opportunity, must go!

Nice scenery but it was drizzling. However, the good part was the haze was gone hence the view was good. Took some pictures using my iphone. Not sharp but better than nothing. :)

Busy week ahead

I had a good rest this afternoon. Watching movies, j dramas and anime. My mum cooking dinner tonight so we did not go out at all for the full day.

Watched episode 3 of Keizoku 2: SPEC. Interesting drama. I like Toda Erika 戸田恵梨香 in this drama. She is a strange girl with special abilities. Started to watch her acting from Liar Game, followed by Code Blue and then BOSS. I only realised that she acted in Death Note movies as the 2nd Kira. She was so young at that time (5 years ago). No wonder I find her familiar when I watched Code Blue etc.

In SPEC, I am just curious on why she needs to bring her red luggage everywhere she goes???




Keizoku 2:SPEC official website











Tomorrow we have sales meeting in office and the whole week will be busy as there is an event going on and many customers will be coming to our office for meetings/visitings. I will foresee another busy week for me.

Tonight I have to rest early as we have to reach office by 9am tomorrow.

However, I think I will still watch some anime/j dramas before going to bed. Now still early for me leh...

Hope coming week will be a better week. :)

Eat and Eat day

Woke up at 10.30am this morning and my sis asked me to prepare to go out for lunch at Whitesands Shopping mall. We left slightly before noon and planned to eat at the newly opened Old Town Cafe.

When we reached, we got a table very soon. I ordered Prawn mee hoon and mee. My sister ordered curry noodle and my mum ordered Javanese noodle. All were tasty. We were lucky to arrive earlier as the queue started to form when we were halfway enjoying our food.

After our lunch, we went to Fairprice supermarket to buy ingredient for our steamboat dinner tonight. We decided not to add meat and prawns. Just vegetables, fishballs, mushrooms, chicken cocktails, tofu, meatball, clams and dumplings.

We enjoyed the dinner and I was so full that I could not sit down after the meal.

I managed to finish watching anime 《少年犯之七人》 that 小珠 recommended. Initially I did not watch it because the characters were not with pretty girls and handsome guys. However, after hearing that Oguri Shun was the vocal lead for this anime, I watched the 1st episode and was attracted by the story. Glad that I watched. This story was really touching.

This season, I can watch quite a number of J dramas. So happy. :)

Happy day finally

I had a very good lunch this afternoon and it makes me feel so happy. Went to Goodwood Park Hotel's Japanese restaurant ~ Shima for teppanyaki buffet. We were served with freeflow tempura, teppanyaki fish, chicken, prawns, vegetables and beef. However, our stomach could not hold so much and only manage to eat one round. The food is really good and worth for money. Will bring my parent there if there is a chance. Only lunch time they have this buffet but glad that weekend have to.

After lunch, we went to have coffee/tea at the cafe. We could not resist the cakes and ordered 2 for sharing. The strawberry cake was nicer than the eclair. I had hot chocolate and was so pleased to be served in a pot. So sweet...

Hope I will have chance again to have afternoon tea in this manner. Sitting at a comfortable area and have drink and cake. Yummy... :)

Left office at 11.05pm with my colleague. We will be very busy next week with meetings and an event which will make us unable to have time to do paperwork during office hour. Therefore, we sacrificed our Friday night to finish outstanding paperwork so that we will not be too stress next week.

Hazy

Blurred ~ Smelly ~ Dark ~ Stuffy nose

These are what I am experiencing today. For past few days, the haze is getting worst and my nose starts to block. Everywhere looks blurred and the sea view from our office become no view. Can't see clearly where is the sea!

It rained for a while this afternoon but it did not improve visibility and the smell. Must really have heavy downpour to wash away the haze. News mention it will takes another few days. Hope it will be better tomorrow or we will get sick easily.

My boss told us that we can die but cannot be sick. This is because, if we are sick, no one can do our work!!! We know he is just joking lah.

So fast that tomorrow is Friday. This week passed so fast again. Managed to have a good lunch (although was self paid for the more than normal lunch at Dome) and spent some money this evening at Giant on groceries. Since my colleague was driving, I decided to buy some groceries back home. Went to Page One and glad that the 2011 schedule books are out. Bought one Minnie Mouse design. :)

I want to be a BO CHAP person

Went to office today with a heart to ensure I must finish those tasks I need to do today. Some of them was dragged for few days.

The day passed so fast again. Now I am beginning to feel 24hrs are not enough for me. No matter how fast I do my work, there are still a lot pending. Ai yoh... how long must I wait for this kind of days to come to an end and go back to my "normal" life.

Few of my colleagues said that they missed those times where we could go for long lunch, shop around and chit chat at pantry area etc... I miss them too...

Today, my mood is a bit better. Got one email with not a good news but I felt nothing... ie not angry. I was so angry last week on same matter but strange that I did not feel angry today. Numbed liao. Ha ha ha... Will wait for boss to handle. Hee hee hee.

Come to think of it. Why I get so angry for what??? I am just an employee and let boss handles lor. :P But sometimes hor, our responsibilities cause us to get so angry when things do not go smoothly.

I want to be an irresponsible person!!! No more worries!!!

MIT IPO

With 小珠 telling me about MIT IPO news, I bid for 20 lots last Friday. The result came out today after I checked my bank account. Out of 20, I was allocated with 3 lots. So sad... Thought it could be more.

In fact, I was luckier. Heard from 小珠 that she only managed to get 1 lot. She bid for 15 lots. Overall, I consider lucky right??? Our intention is to keep the shares and earn the dividends. However, if the price is good, I may sell it off. But... must wait till I know how to sell from my account with Kim Eng. I opened an account but has no transaction yet. Am using their online service and needs to figure out how to sell through the online system.

Took a cab home from office. I was so tired and decided to finish some of my work before going home by cab. My colleague went home earlier hence did not follow her car.

It was so difficult to call for a cab at that time hence I walked out to the main road to try my luck. Guess my lucky star was still there and I managed to get one pretty soon. Hope these lucky stars will stay with me always. :)

Q10 is out



Q10 official website

I am so surprised to see that PPS has updated epi 1 of Q10. It took just 2 days for the subtitles translation to be done. Had just finished watching.

The story of this J drama is about robot. Something not real but since the background of this drama is about school, I am happy to continue watching. Another main reason is because my idol is there.... Hahaha...

First day of the week going to end in another 30mins. Waiting for me is the fresh next day. Sounds funny??? Not sure why I keep counting down for Friday to come. Strange lei...

Tomorrow will be another busy day for me as there are 2 meeting to attend. Hope they will not take too much of my time. Time is so precious to me now .... not enough time to do my work!

Hot Hot Hot

Wow... cannot stand the heat uh!

It was so hot for the whole day of yesterday and today. The sky looked dark this morning and had sign of raining but.... it did not rain. My dad said it rained at Bedok area for a short while this morning but not at my area. So disappointing.

The heat made me felt so warm and perspiring even with direct fan blowing. Rain uh rain uh... when are you coming???

Today my niece did not come as she needs to prepare for exam. Next Sunday will not be here too. Can only see her 2 weeks later. Hope she can get good result. :)

Saturday, October 16, 2010

Can't wait to see Q10

Today will be the airing of epi 1 of Q10 in Japan. Takeru will be the main cast and I can't wait to see the drama. Have to wait for it to be translated and broadcast in PPS. Hope it won't take long...

Did not go out today and stay indoor. Watched K drama to pass time. So fast... a day passed so fast.

Tomorrow is last day to take rest before another week starts. Hope coming week will be better than this week. :)

Scary and disgusting

Just back home after watching movie "Piranha". Not bad but we were scared by some of the scenes. The sudden appearance of certain movements and sound effects made us becoming scary. The bloody and gross body parts after the Piranha's attach were so disgusting.

The whole show was not boring at all and we were really scared at the last scene of the movie. A man was asking where were the bigger fish and the next moment, a big in size piranha came out of the water and ate him up. End of the show...

We enjoyed the movie but did not want to recall the scenes as they were really disgusting. Especially we were going for dinner right after the movie.

As 小珠 had a $10 Haagen Dazs voucher which was expiring soon, we decided to just have ice-cream for tonight's dinner. After glancing through the menu, I suggested to order the Fondue and we enjoyed it. The funny part was we forgot to stir the chocolate and just dipped the ice-cream, fruits and cookies on the surface of the chocolate sauce. Only when we were finishing the fruits etc, we realised we should stir it so that the sauce will be warmed. Haha...

Thursday, October 14, 2010

One more day

Really fast... Tomorrow is Friday and its movie time again.

Had discussed and decided to watch "Piranha" tomorrow. This time round, not watching 3D as worried it will be scary to see the fishes in front of us. Better don't scare ourselves. The only thing I am worried is : no subtitles. Hahaha...

We bought 8.10pm show and I only realised that I need to cover my colleague's work hence high chance that I can only reach Vivocity just on time for the movie and have dinner after the show. Hopefully tomorrow will not be too hectic for me and can let me leave as early as possible. Cross my fingers and toes...

Looking forward to weekend again. A lot of things happened this week and I need a good rest. :)

Wantan Mee

Today, went to Telok Blangah hawker centre for lunch. I was deciding whether to eat prawn noodles or wantan mee while on my way there with my colleague. I was hoping that one of the stall will close so that I did not have to make a choice.

Bingo!!! The prawn noodle stall really closed! I think the owner went for holidays. The stall will be closed from 1 to 14 Oct. Just nice 2 weeks holiday. :P

Eventually, I ate the wantan noodle. It had been a long time since I last ate it. The specs remain good. So nice and cheap food. :)

Tuesday, October 12, 2010

Soooo tired

Extremely tired. Have been working for long hours for past 2 months and now I begin to feel tiredness on my whole body. Will try to go back earlier from tomorrow onwards.

Working late is a problem for me now. If I am not taking my colleague's car home and if I work late like today, it is a big big problem. Why leh? It's because of our office location. The area cannot get taxi easily and have to call for cab.

Even if I call cab, I dare not ask the cab to come to our office building at Mapletree Business Centre. This is because I want to avoid time wasted for the cab to look for direction to our building. In the end, I walked out towards PSA building to call for a cab.

Another problem came.... My wallet did not have a lot of cash. Was praying hard that it will just be enough to pay for the fare. Otherwise, need to pay by nets or credit card which costs additional. Luckily, I used up all my dollars.

Lesson learnt. Never work till very late....

Boss in town

This morning, went to office as usual. In my colleague's car, we suddenly remembered that our boss is in town this week. Our boss did not ask us to be in office early hence we completely forgotten about it.

Luckily, he reached office only slightly before noon time. He was engaged in meetings hence did not have time to really walk around.

Overhead his secretary's conversation with one of our colleague and think he should be flying back either tomorrow or the day after. His secretary wishes he will go back tomorrow so that he can go back to Hong Kong earlier too. We hope that his wish will come true tomorrow. :P

Shall sleep early today as need to wake up early tomorrow for my walk. How long will I continue my walk??? Hope will be long and I need to be persistent to cut down some weight!!!

Sunday, October 10, 2010

Finished one J drama

My niece is having exam in coming week hence did not come to our house today. Therefore, I spent my time today to watch J drama that 小珠 recommended. Title is Shinzanmon/新参. Story was about detective investigating a murder case. While investigating, the detective "digged out" a lot of secrets which helped those involved. Nice story. :)

Yummy Mushrooms

This evening, we decided to abandon our dad and proceed to Tampines for dinner. If we waited for him, we will end up going out late and eat late.

We went to Tampines One and decided on NYDC. It had been a very long time since I last dined at this restaurant located at Wheelock Place.

As we definitely want to have the dessert, we ordered 2 main dishes and few side dishes. To our surprise, the side dishes were of big portion. In the end, we could only order one dessert to share among 3 of us.

We liked the mushroom pizza and munches. They were the best among those we ate today. Dessert was good too. Macadamia and chocolate ice-cream mud pie. Nice nice nice... Not too sweet... Will try their others cakes in future. Must make sure we do not over order so that can leave some stomach space for the desserts.

My damage today was huge... Bought clothing worth $500 at Bega. One shot bought 14 pieces. As I need to top up some of my clothing and since there were suitable ones, bought them lah. 2 of the pieces were of same designs but with different colours. I liked the cutting so buy duplicates. :)

Dinner at NYDC :

Its the DAY!

Happy Happy... Today its the day I am waiting for since 5 days ago...

Just came home after watching movie "I Love You Phillip Morris". I enjoyed this movie. It was considered a comedy and yet there were parts where they were so touching. This story was about gays but it was put up nicely where you would not feel it is very disgusting. The only part I felt a bit "not right" was gays kissing scenes. Can't imagine if I really see it in real life.

Was glad that we finally managed to watch one movie after 2 weeks break. Nice to end Friday by watching a good movie and that makes me more relax after a hectic week.

Thursday, October 7, 2010

One more day

So nice... it lefts just one more day to go before weekend comes. I am looking forward to Saturday. Nothing particular to do on that day but just feel happy on every Saturday. Shall see if I want to go shopping or have a good lunch or dinner on that day.

Today, we were all busy trying to tally some figures for Sep closing. The report done by our Finance dept does not tally with our records. This affect us because the report showed a poor record for Sep which was the first month we joined the company. Our record showed increased in sales and we definitely must fine tuned our Finance dept data.

For past few days, my colleague gave me a lift back home hence cut down my travelling time and could reach home within 30mins. Tonight, I worked till quite late hence unable to take my colleague's car home. Luckily, my the other colleague sent me to Bedok Mrt station and I managed to reach home within 1 hr. I have 贵人相助. Haha.

Another day gone.... Yippy!

Yippy Yippy... One day gone again...

Left 2 days to go!!!

Saw another news where public transport bus driver knocked down an old man and drove off. So bad. How can the driver do that. If he stayed, perhaps can help the old man and he might not die.
Bad bad bad.

Tomorrow, I must really force myself to wake up for the morning walk. Stopped for 2 months and now feeling myself growing fatter and fatter. These 2 days, I was so hungry when I reached home and cooked instant noodles. I cannot let this continues...

Read this week i weekly magazine and heard that my 2nd idol, Hiro Mizushima, is getting out of show buzz to become writer. So sad uh...

Tuesday, October 5, 2010

A day passed again

Tuesday over. Left 3 days to go...

I managed to do something which I had delayed in doing in office for the past 1 week. Finally done it and felt so relieved and happy.

Left office a bit late today. Due to some renovation work still ongoing in our office, many of us are having dry throats, stuffy nose and teary eyes. Hopefully the work can be completed soon so that we do not have to suffer...

Looking forward to tomorrow evening to check any good movies coming up this week. Had not watched movies for the past 2 weeks and eyes a bit itchy now. Haha...

Monday, October 4, 2010

Count down

Count down to Friday!!!

This is only the beginning of the week and I am now counting down to Friday to come!!!

Left 4 days only!!!

Hee Hee Hee!!!

Hope rest of the week will be smooth and everything be smooth for me.

Nothing much happened today except busy busy and still busy.

Completed whole series of Joker Yurusarezaru Sosakan

My niece came to our house and after doing her homework, she started to watch Doremon via PPS. Now she started to snatch computer from her parents to watch cartoon. Luckily they have 2 at home to share among the 3 of them.

I was watching my J drama "Joker Yurusarezaru Sosakan". My elder sis watching K drama "Flower Boys" and my niece was watching cartoon "Doremon". All different categories. Hee hee...

小珠 recommended this J drama to me and after watching 1st epi, I liked the story line hence continued to watch all. Managed to complete the whole series today. There is a SP version and I thought it will continue the story but in fact, it was just a summary of the whole show. However, the ending is good so ok lah.
















Joker Yurusarezaru Sosakan official website

So fast, have to go back to work tomorrow...

Saturday, October 2, 2010

OMG!!!! Disaster!!!!

Woke up so called early this morning at 10am. My intention was to finish my office work and could continue to watch TV programs and PPS without any worries.

However, I got a shock when I could not find those files I had saved in my thumbdrive yesterday. I remembered I did transfer the file but my pc did shutdown on its own. I thought it was ok hence did not double check if those files were transferred over successfully. Now... I was stuck and could not do my work. OMG!!!! It's my fault for not doing a double checking!

I had thoughts to go back office to transfer the required files but after considering that the time taken to and fro will be 3 hours, I decided to drop the idea and will do it on Monday. Will speed up so that I can submit my month end reporting on time. So silly of me to let such thing happened.

No choice but to leave everything till next Monday. Hope I can complete asap.

Did not go out today as my sister needed to stay at home to study. She is taking a course and most of the time is self study. I was lazy to go out too (otherwise I would have go back to office. haha) as I was tired. Therefore, stayed indoor for the whole day until evening time, we went out for dinner at KFC.

Did feel that today, I have wasted time which I could actually do some of my office work but... no choice lah. Needs to be more careful in future.

Gathering

This evening, initially was to just have dinner with 小珠 and no movie. Glad that Tulip could join us for dinner and Ah Cheng too.

We met up at about 8.20pm. Supposed to reach earlier but there was a jam to VivoCity from Pasir Panjang diretction. Could be due to today is Children Day, many parents brought their kids for shopping that caused jam to the carparks.

While caught in the jam, we watched an interesting scene. One car in front of us almost knocked down a motorbike driver. The motorbike driver was so furious that kept scolding and pointing middle finger to the car driver. The motorbike driver pointed to the car to stop the car at the side of the road and seeing no action by the car driver, he drove off knowing he could not get near to the car due to incoming vehicles. We thought this was the end of the story but... suddenly we saw the motorbike right in front of us.

He purposely made a U turn and was so close to the car that finally the car driver signaled to park the car at the roadside and got out of the car. We were so excited to see what happened next since we were still caught in the jam. The motorbike driver took out his helmet and was shouting to the car driver. When we wanted to continue seeing what happened next, our car had to move forward and could not see much. Hope no fight took place. The motorbike driver was a bit too heated. Can't he don't take it too hard...

After that, we had dinner at Coffee Club as Thai ascent which we intended to go was having long queue. In order not to waste time waiting, we switched to Coffee Club where usually it was empty. However, to our surprise, many tables were filled up (usually only the most 3 to 4 tables). Strange leh...

We ordered 4 main courses for sharing and added 2 side dishes. Wow... we big eaters uh... Really managed to finish all the food. Sinful uh!!!

Managed to have a good time chit chatting. Hope there will be more chances to have such relaxing gathering.
