TGIF Movie Time!

Finally it's Friday.  Looking forward towards this day as I am feeling very tired for the whole week of late nights.  I slept at around 1.30 to 2am daily due to reaching home late and need to take a rest before sleeping.

Today, we met our ex-boss for lunch at Parkway Parade.  I ordered Soup kway teow in Penang style at PapaRich restaurant.  The menu resembles those in Old Town White Coffee Cafe.  The food are not bad.
















I watched movie tonight at 8.10am.  Booked tickets for "Epic" on Wed night as I did not receive any meeting invites for Friday evening.  Thought I was very safe but... received one invites yesterday for video conference at 6pm today.  It will last quite long and I covered myself by telling organisor that I need to leave by 6.45pm.  Phew... I did not want to miss the movie uh.

Had dinner at Food Republic with 小珠.  I suggested 五香 as I did not have it for some time and as usual, 小珠 had no objection.  However, I only managed to read her blog just now and got to realise that she had same food on Wed.  Shd choose another food...

The movie was good.  I like the graphics as it was very nicely done.  Story was good too and its touching on scenes between MK and her dad right at the end.  Nice movie for Friday.  Good!

Very sinful meals

Woke up this morning and I felt very tired.  These few days quite hectic in office and worked late.  Back home late and with minimum rest.  Hope next week will kind of settle down and let me have some rest before the real operation (full force) running up in coming weeks.

Had lunch with one supplier and it had been long time since I had heavy lunch.  Felt so full and decided to work by standing (desk adjustable) after the lunch.  However, after an hour of standing, my stomach weird weird and like not quite right.  I intended to sit down to try to avoid the need to do big biz in the office toilet as there are only 2 cubicles for the entire floors that shared with other companies.  Very pai sei to 霸占the cubicle if long queue....  Before I wanted to press the button to lower down the desk, there was a power trip.  It was caused by one electrician who was doing some maintenance work.  PC no power and office in darkness except with emergency lights on and lights from outside the windows.  I think it was too "romantic" that I could not tahan and rushed to toilet.  Luckily no long queue caused by me.  Hahaha.

Planned to leave office by 7pm but our RM invited for dinner with our Technical Director, operation guy and contractor from Denmark.  Rejected at first as I really hope to go home early to wash my toilets but in the end decided to attend as we need to liaise with them in future.

Had dinner at Jumbo and this was another round of sinful food.  Finished by 10.30pm and back home at 11.15pm.  Cannot do thorough washing of the 2 toilets hence did a simple and quick one.  Better than nothing.  I am very full now and need to wait for a while before sleeping.

Sinful day.  Guess it won't be too frequent for me lah.  I am now not doing frontline liao.  Lucky uh!

Why still late

Today's weather is good.  Its cloudy in the morning and raining in the afternoon.  Hence, no sweating when I went to work and went to lunch.

Since its raining in during lunch time, we just crossed over to Keypoint and I ordered chicken porridge at Chin Chin cafe.  It was very nice.  Did not go to the market hawker centre as we did not bring along our umbrellas.  Got to know its raining only when we were at office building 1st floor.  Followed up with coffee/tea and back in office at 3pm.

Struggling with the backlog of paperwork (cannot enter in system earlier due to customer accounts not in system) and we really took long time to figure out what to enter and how to enter and whether correct or not....  In the end, still outstanding quite a few entries and had to go for video conference with Malta office team.  Supposed to start at 6 and end at 6.30pm but dragged till almost 9pm.  Back home late again.

Today really unlucky.  I poured a cup of yogurt drink and wanted to enjoy it while watching j-dramas.  However, I knocked off the cup and the drink (full cup) spilled all over my study desk and floor.  OMG!!!!  Its sweet drink uh!!!!  I had to clean up the mess.  The most angry part is : I just finished sweeping and mopping the floor!!!!  The room still smell of the yogurt drink.  Really no words to say uh....

Busy learning

Today, I spent the day learning how to use the order entry system.  Ah Huang and I tried to figure out ourselves on how to create sales confirmation.  When we were stuck and really could not proceed, we asked our colleague sitting next to us.  He is an expert and very nice guy to keep helping us.  Tomorrow shall continue on purchase confirmation part.  There are quite a few orders pending over past few days due to the need to update some customers details.  Now it has been completed and we have to enter into the system asap to capture the sales & p/l.  Just hope those entries are correct.  Anyway, if anything wrong, Accounts dept colleague will point out to us (according to our colleague).

Rather tired now and since back home late at 10.30pm, I can only watch one epi of J drama.  I was ready to leave at around 8.30pm but Ah Yong said she needed some more time to complete her work.  Since she can send me home, I didn't mind staying while trying to re-file my emails.  It was in a mess as I kept categorizing the emails to wrong folders.  In the end, decided to just dump all non-related emails sent by another team, into one folder as backup.  Looks so much better now.  :)

So fast, tomorrow is Wed liao.  I told Ah Huang that tomorrow onward till Friday, I cannot stay late liao.  I need to sweep/mop floor tomorrow.  I need to wash toilets on Thur and I want to watch movie on Friday uh.

Just feel impatient to use Yahoo on my office pc.  I can only add maximum 3 new contacts each day.  Asked IT colleague and he said many staff has this problem.  However, it is not our system problem but Yahoo's.  He said I can try waiting for 2 days to see those contacts I trying to add can "pop out" or not.  Strange strange strange...

Actual first day of work ~ Go home late

Today is my actual first full day in new co.  Luckily there are already colleagues (ex colleagues) there and hence I did not feel so scary in the new environment.

My ex-colleague, who is now my new colleague, will be my buddy in our job roles.  Therefore, I started to sit in with her since morning.  Going through things that she needs to do and what I need to learn from her.  In fact, we still do not know how the splitting of work will be.  Just learn whatever things we can first.  No one is there to really guide us.  Things we are doing are very new hence we have to start asking accounts people or other more friendly colleagues for guidance.

I spent some time working on my email setting.  Luckily it is Microsoft Outlook hence I still have some ideas on how to set to my preferred settings.  Just some of the functions I still cannot find.  Have to explore tomorrow.

The day passed very fast and I stayed till 8pm just to tidy up my notes etc.  Rather tired as it I had been hibernating and not using my brain for so long.  I have to "wake up" liao.

Good part is I can reach office at 10am.  No one really check on the timing.  We just need to ensure we do work and finish our tasks.

 

Today.... I am in USA again??

Resting

Done my routine sweeping and mopping the floor in the morning then took bus back to Pasir Ris home.  My father bought brunch for me hence once I reached, I had my food ready for me to eat.  :P

My younger sis meeting her friends at Orchard and left my parents plus me at home.  I did nothing but just watch J dramas and surfed the net. 

Evening, too lazy to go out for dinner hence my father 打包 food for us.  I ordered crabs.  Hee hee...  Nice dinner.  Now my stomach so full.

Qire123 website was down since morning.  Finally managed to access at around 8pm.  At least I can continue to watch the new J dramas. 

Weather so hot....

Deepavali

Today is holiday.  It's Deepavali day.  Glad to have this long weekend.

My niece woke up early at 8.30am.  I woke up but simply refused to get out of bed until 9.30am.  We planned to have breakfast at NEX hence quickly bathed and went out.

So unlucky that it started to rain.  Had to take umbrellas liao.  We reached NEX and decided to have breakfast at McDonald.  I ordered Big Breakfast.  Really rarely have chance for me to eat breakfast at McDonald because...  I usually wake up late and too lazy to get out for breakfast.  :P
















After breakfast, we went for shopping.  Ended up buying 3 pairs of shoes from J West.  My sister bought 1 pair.  The 3 pairs are all comfort shoes.  I also bought one small Happycall pot at Isetan.  Decided to buy as it is smaller and lighter for me to cook noodles.

My niece wanted to go arcade again.  I played 2 rounds of basketball games and I was perspiring like ran 2.4km.  Hands and legs also aching.  Had dessert to quench my thirst.



She still had stamina to play basketball at the court downstairs.  I just accompanied her by sitting aside looking at her.  Believed she was tired and just played for 30mins.  Bathed and just watch TV programs and played games to wait for her parents to fetch her home.

Now... me alone again.  Did some cleaning up so that tomorrow I need not rush to do housework.  Just left sweeping and mopping.  Then I can go over to Pasir Ris home.

First Day

Today is my first day of work and I woke up with sufficient time preparing myself for work.  Reached office building at 9.40am and went up together with my colleague.

Met up with Managing director and after some discussion, I decided to leave for the day and be back on next Monday.  The reason was because one old staff was asked to leave the company and today is his last day in the co.  The atmosphere will be bad for those close to him.  Not a time to announce my first day of work since it will trigger speculation that I am the one taking over his position.  So... I have another day off to relax.

I went shopping and had dinner with Ah Cheng and 小珠 at Carl's Jnr before going for our movie at 7.35pm.  We watched "Fast & Furious 6" and it was very entertaining.  The sound effect was too loud and its a bit "scaring".  Hahaha.  The whole story flows very well and I like the sound tracks.  There will definitely be "Fast & Furious 7".  :)







My niece is now at my house.  She will stay overnite.  My younger sister is entertaining her now.  Hee hee...  Tomorrow she wants to play basketball at the court downstairs.  My younger sis just played at the arcade with her and is now aching.

Look at my phone.  Now I am "travelling" to United States.

Count down

So sad.... today is my last free day.  Tomorrow back to work liao.

Lazy for 3 months and not sure if I can adapt working days again.  Rushing crowd in bus and trains....  Packed food courts....  

Stay at home for whole day and I was "playing" with the weather.  Hanged out clothes and it started to rain.  Took them in and it started to become sunny.  Hanged out again and it rained again.  Angry uh!  Decided not to bring them out again.

Had my cake for lunch.  It was to pamper myself today.  Nice cake and will buy again.  :)

Finally I managed to keep up to date on all J dramas.  Shall continue to watch once new epi releases.

Shall sleep earlier tonight.  Also told my sister that if I did not mss her tomorrow at 7.30am, she needs to call me to wake me up uh.

Contacted 小珠 this evening and we booked tickets for tomorrow's movie.  Since it is my first day of work, I believe I can leave timely.  Hence booked 7.35pm show.

Nice ケーキ

Adjusting my time

This morning, my alarm was set to ring at 6.55am.  My plan was to wake up early and go for morning walk ~ to adjust to working schedule.  However, my body did not want to move hence just continue laying on the bed till 9am.  I have to sleep earlier in order to wake up that early for the walk.  Will try again.  :P

I decide to wake up early tomorrow to get myself adjust to normal working hour wake up time.  2 more days and I will start work liao.  Time to "wake up" liao after 3 months break.  Feel so unwilling to go back to reality.  What did I do during this 3 months?  Come to think of it.... "NOTHING" except "EAT & SLEEP"!!!

Just 2 more days and back to normal days liao.  So sad....  :(

Went to see Dr Leow to take medicine as I running out of it soon.  Measured BP and doctor said today's reading was good.  Must keep it up.  I still need to continue taking Vit D.  I lacking as not under the sun to absorb naturally.

In order to celebrate these 2 days as my last 2 free days, I bought 2 pieces of cakes from Paul Patisserie.  Its to 宠一宠 myself...

Chocolate puff pastry for today.  Really thumbs up.  Nice nice...

So proud of myself

Wow... I am so proud of myself today.  I woke up at 6.45am!!!

Other than during the Korea trip or any other overseas trips, I have never wake up so early before.  Not even during my working days.  Hahaha...

The reason was due to my sister's HDB first appointment was scheduled at 9.30am and my aunt asked us to go early for breakfast.  We meeting her at 8.30am and had to leave house by 7.45am.  I need more time and as the first to bathe, I had to wake up at this time lor.

My sister's house completion date was 1 July if everything goes well.  We hope to get the key as early as possible so that renovation can be completed before lunar Seventh month.  My sister does not mind any date but since my parents moving in with her, I told her better keep away that month to do any renovation or moving in.  Hope the renovation contractor can do it on time.  Just worried that their schedule is very full (crossed my fingers).

Back home rather early at around 1.30pm after buying some groceries at NTUC.  So coincidence, I met my ex colleague at the bus stop.  I supposed to get up bus no 53 but she saw me when she alighted the bus.  I chit-chatted with her for a while.  Did not meet her for almost 15 years after her retrenchment due to re-organisation in the company.  She still looks the same and I am surprise that she can still remember me.  Maybe my "10 years don't change hairstyle" helps.  Hmmm.. maybe is "20 years don't change hairstyle" liao.  I should keep my hairstyle so that people can recognise me easier.  Hahaha.

Strange lei... How come I didn't know I am travelling lei?  I hope I am at this location....  Phone haywire liao.

Sunday

Today is Sunday and really Sunny day.  Hot hot hot...

My niece came and I chatted/played games with her.  She seems like grow taller again.

My mum cooked simple dishes today.  We requested to have non fried and non oily food.  Did not want to have stomach upset again uh.  Need time to adjust back.

Continued to watch J dramas and still have quite a few epi outstanding.  Shall watch slowly.

Back home

Hanged out my clothes and it got dried very fast.  I managed to keep all by afternoon.  Had my floor swept and mopped while dl j-dramas.  There were so many epi released.

I watched a few epi and took bus to Pasir Ris home.  We went out for dinner and dined at Manhatten Fish Market restaurant.

Back home and my stomach was very uncomfortable.  My sister had stomach pain right after dinner.  I told my sis that my stomach bloated and needed Enos.  However, did not have any at home.  My sis asked me to drink Yuzu tea.  I drank a cup of warm Yuzu tea and feel better now.

We had been eating quite healthy food in Korea (not oily type) and our stomachs cannot take the oily stuff that we ate today.  My parents and bro also having same condition.

Korea trip ~ Day 7

Soooo fast....  Our trip ended today.

We loaded our luggages onto coach and went for our breakfast.  It was a buffet spread and the food tasted not bad.

Our first stop for today was to drive passed Presidential Blue House and went to Gyeongbok Palace.  All photos taken by my sister's camera hence I did not have any to post today.

After the visit, we went to Korean Amethyst Factory.  Initially did not want to buy any products for tourists that local guide brought us to but ultimately, I bought one pinky ring and my mum also bought one ring too.  We did not get the stone gem which was very expensive.  We get the crystal gem category.

Checked in airport timely after getting tax refund processed.  We saw performance for traditional wedding and took some photos.  It reminded me of 大长金.  Hahaha.

Finally back in Singapore liao.  Hot hot weather again...

Korea trip ~ Day 6

This morning, our coach drove along the famous 漢江 where a lot of K dramas scenes were filmed there.  Our local guide said that without this river, Seoul is not nice as all are buildings.  Quite true uh.

We had our buffet breakfast and went to Shinchon Shopping street.  Not much time given to us for shopping (just 1hr 30mins) and today's shopping was purely skincare.  I bought Laneige water sleeping pack as my sister said it is good and its cheap in Korea.  Also bought some masks for our own use and for my elder sister.

After shopping, we went to Hello Kitty Cafe.  OMG!!!!  We went crazy liao once stepped in.  Snapped photos at all corners.  I cannot resist the cute cafe.  We were given a drink and a pack of cookies (included in our tour package).  The cookies were very nice.  Too bad they don't sell.  Otherwise, I will definitely buy.

Time passed very fast and after lunch, we went back to our hotel at Lotte World.  Kept our shopping items in hotel room and went to the Duty free shops at Lotte's mall.  We had dinner at a Japanese restaurant and the prices for the ramen were not expensive (compared to Singapore).  Dinner was on our own choice as we were given 10000 won each.  Yummy.

My parents and bro were tired hence for Lotte World Park, only my sister and I went.  We went there rather late and after taking photos, all the rides were closed.  Waiting time for per ride was about 60 - 100 mins hence the queue had stopped at around 9pm.  Sad leh....

Nothing to do hence went back to room lor.
