Cleaning

This morning, woke up at almost 11am and started to do my usual Saturday housework.  Finished by 12.30pm and went over to my sister's place.  My parents and her reached quite early.  By the time I reached, they had already done half of the cleaning.

I realised that there is a water leaking from my aircon unit in my bedroom.  Did not realise previously and today, I was still on the bed and heard water dripping down sound.  Searched and found that it came from the aircon unit.  Haiz... need to get maintenance liao.

We finished the cleaning by 3pm and were hungry.  Went home to take a shower before going out for early dinner since all of us did not take lunch.  Decided to go to NEX since nearer and had the meal at Seoul Garden.  Overall quite nice and I was so full after eating so much.  For the BBQ, I liked the garlic flavour and the Korean spicy flavour.  My mum enjoyed it.  Usually she does not like to eat.

Went to Green Pumpkin to buy breads for tomorrow breakfast.  Saw these cute little hello kitty breads.  I bought one for my breakfast tomorrow.  :)

Movies finally

This afternoon, we met up with 小珠, Ah Thin and One watch for lunch.  Ah Ching recommended one restaurant that is cozy, nice food and reasonable prices.  Its near our office.  I ordered the chicken chop and it was very nice.  The set that comes with drink and main course is just about $10. Nice interior decorations too.
















Finally today I can watch movie liao.  Stopped for almost 3 weeks.  I asked Ah Cheng to help me up with new enq that came in late.  Luckily not too many and only one.  At least not so pai sei.

We watched "The Mortal Instruments : City of Bones".  It was very nice but some parts really scary with the sound effects.  I like Jace.  Very cool guy.  Nice storyline and it makes me feel so relax today.  :)

Sian uh...  Yesterday did a deal that requires live updates to customer.  In the end, now I have to monitor tonight.  Cannot sleep liao...  Regret doing that deal.  Sigh.

Many problems popped up today.  Hope tomorrow onwards will be smooth liao.

Month end approaching.  Another round of rushing of work on next Monday.

Nice food

This afternoon, we met up with our customer at Yamagawa Japanese restaurant at The Plaza near our office.

I love the food there.  It was very authentic and they served very nice and fresh sashimi.  We ordered ala carte dishes to share.  Next time, we can go there frequent for customer lunches since food is nice and near office.

Worked late tonight.  Have to clear as much paperwork as possible as month end approaching.

Home early

This evening, I took a lift from my colleague and I managed to reach home at 9pm.  Since I can be early tonight, I decided to wash my two toilets.

Still handling enq while washing but no deal done.  Enq postponed due to the sudden rise of crude.  Up by almost $3 uh!  Due to the tension between US and Syria.

Babies

This afternoon, we went to my uncle's house at around 3.30pm.  Wow... the house had 2 babies.  Everyone was like trying to get chance to carry them.  I also joined the queue.  Hee hee...

The babies are about 4 - 5 months old hence they are not too soft and I can carry them.  Nice to carry lei.  :)

I asked my sister to drive me to Meidya to buy my favourite ice-creams.  Also to buy some detergents etc since there was a car and they can help me carry home.  During weekdays, I have no time to buy.  Taking cab home every night.  Not that I am rich but it was late hour.  :P

Finally I ate it

This morning, I really overslept.  Alarm rang at 9.30am and by next moment I opened my eyes again, it was 11.30am!  I jumped out of my bed and quickly prepared to do my housework.

My sis and parents definitely coming over to survey my sis house.  So I need to be very very fast to finish all within 2 hours.

Luckily, I just left mopping of the floor when my sister said they were coming over from her house.  I told her to wait for a while for the floor to be dried before stepping in.  Phew...

It was already 3pm and we decided to have tim sum at Toa Payoh.  My sister said the Tim Ho Wan restaurant just opened a new branch at HDB hub and should be shorter queue than the one at Plaza Singapura.

When we reached there, it was really not too long queue.  Partly because of the timing too but the main reason was it just opened 2 days and many people still do not know.  Hahaha... lucky lei.

The food was indeed good.  I would say not the best but was above average.  Their signature po luo bao is really good.  :)

After that, we took bus to VivoCity.  I wanted to buy a pair of shoe from JWest but no stock.  They managed to find a pair at another outlet and will transfer over.  I have new shoe liao!

Next we went to Daiso to buy some items and then looked for baby clothing.  My niece who born in Thailand will be here tomorrow.  We have a family gathering at my uncle's house.  Bought 4 cute little dresses for her.

Dinner

Today, I could not meet up with 小珠 for movie or dinner.  One of our capt will be back to Denmark on coming Monday after his 3 months attachment here.

Our intention was to book a table at Jumbo Riverside but all nearby branches were fully booked.  No choice but to book the one at East Coast Seafood centre.

When I reached there, wow... the place was fully booked and there were so many tables/people.  Too long never been there liao.  We ate and chat till about 11pm.

So full now...

One gone

Today, we had customer lunch at Fullerton.  Nice buffet but I could not eat much.  My stomach was very bloated and very uncomfortable.

Yesterday was a day that my boss axed one of our team member.  Need to reorganise our section and had to let one guy go.  Today was his last day and he came in to pack his stuff.  I thanked him for his help when we just joined the company and he sounded calm.  Believe he knew about it and just waiting for the time to come only.

Bad day.  My stomach not well and back ache.

Sad.... no fish soup

This afternoon, Ah Huang and I craved for the fish soup at Golden Mile market.  Made my boss and colleagues to go there for lunch but found out that the stall was closed.  Many stalls were closed too.  Our guessing was maybe its Lunar 15th day of Seventh month hence the stall owners maybe closed for business to go for prayer.  So sad... cannot eat it today.  Shall go another day.

Our boss axed one staff this evening.  I happened to be out of the office to handle something.  When back, he already left.  It seems like he already knew and took it quite calmly.  Some one told him???  Hope he can find better company that suits him.

I took a lift from my colleague and back home at 10.30pm.  However, was busy working on enquiries until 11.30pm then rushed to bath.  Out from toilet and continued to work.  Finally, managed to close 3 orders.  Phew....  No more EGGS.

Lunch at The Gallery hotel

Today we had customer lunch at The Gallery Hotel Satsuma Shochu Dining.  It served with authentic food and we enjoyed them.  Best part was, the 2nd floor has no other people and it was as if we booked the whole restaurant.

Back in office at about 3pm and a bit lagged behind to clear my unfinished paperwork.  No choice but to "roll over" till tomorrow.

Tuesday liao.  Tired.... Want to have more sleep uh.

Shocking news

Monday liao.  So fast.

Heard a very shocking news today regarding our ex co.  Very unbelievable things to happen.  Not sure what the ex big boss thinking .  

Had free lunch today as Ah Yong giving us a treat.  Asked her why she was treating us lunch and she just said dunno.  Just felt like treating us.  I think she must have some good news or feeling happy that gave us a treat.  :)

Managed to clear some outstanding paperwork this evening before going home.  Shall continue tomorrow.  Target is to clear them by tomorrow.

Morning call

Had a "morning call" from my ops colleague.  Had some issue that needs me to call our sales office in Denmark.  It was real early there and luckily he answered my calls.  Managed to clear the issue at around 1pm and shall follow it up again on Monday.

My niece having term test tomorrow and Wednesday. Therefore, they did not come over to Pasir Ris.  Since no disturbance, we decided to pack the store room.  To throw those items not bringing over to my sister's house.  Wow... really a lot to throw.

Forced my brother to throw his things.  His drawers really a lot of rubbish.  One big bag full of rubbish!!!!  Still yet to finish.  Will continue next week.  i told him I no space for him to keep so many unwanted things.  Things didn't touch for 2 years are to throw away.  He has a box of small cars.  I intend to throw too.  He looked sad but... keep also no use mah...  I also thrown a lot of precious things mah....

Work

Woke up real early this morning at 9am.  I slept at 4am last night as back home only 2am from office.  We were too engrossed in our work that we happily continued to work until 1.30am.  Really seow liao...  Hahaha.

Had to wake up early to do my housework and got prepared to wait for delivery of toilet accessories to my sister's house.  She could not come over as she had made appointment with one mover to access the fee to move items from old house to her new place.

Today, I thought I can relax but had one enquiry for prompt delivery and I worked on it in the afternoon.  Managed to close it and earn some money for the company.  Left home and met with my parents and sister at Changi T1 for dinner.  Had dinner at Astons.

The food not too bad at this branch.  However, the queue was really terrible.  Soooo long.

No movie tonight

Today passed very fast again.

We had lunch at Golden Mile market and I ordered the Bittergourd seafood beehoon.  Wow.... this is very nice ah!  I starts to like it on the very first mouth.  Seems like there are many good food that I didn't know.  Will go there more often liao.

Tonight, I decided to work late to clear my paperwork.  No movie as 小珠 had dinner tonight.

My trading continued till 10pm and I started to do the paperwork.  I wanted to clear them so that I can enjoy my weekend.

Another new place

This afternoon, my colleague asked if we wanted to walk to Crawford Court to try the famous Da Hua Ba Chor Mee.  Since the weather was quite cooling, we decided to go.

The queue was rather long and we had to wait for about 30mins before we got our food.  It was same family noodles as the one at VivoCity.  However, I think this one taste better.  Next time can go again.

Happy birthday to Okada!

Nice food at East Coast Road

This afternoon, our boss drove us to East Coast Road for lunch.  It was at a coffee shop and their fish ball noodles are famous.  Luckily we were quite late hence easy to get a table.  We ordered the noodles and also some chicken for sharing.  Completed the meal with a bowl of Chendol each.  Nice leh.

Managed to leave office by 10pm today.  My colleague drove me home.  Since I was earlier than usual, decided to wash my 2 toilets and machine wash my clothing.  Raining days these few days and took longer time to dry my clothes.

Do not know what happened to my S4.  Battery easily drained and the phone feels quite hot.  Strange lei.

Tuesday liao

Ohhhh  Its tuesday night liao.  So fast uh.

Tomorrow is mid week and 2 more days will be weekend liao.  :P

Same routine today.  Nothing special happened.  

Had dim sum for lunch.  Quite nice food but... fattening uh.  I definitely put on weight liao.  Every night snacks at home...  :(

Monday Blue

Blue blue Monday.

Don't feel like working leh.    I need more sleep...

Sunday, August 11, 2013

No good Sunday

Its another day filled with work.  So sad.  For the past 4 days, I am working and working.  Need to monitor very closely on the ops and liaise with colleague and ops in charge.    

Even my niece asked why I was so quiet today.  Cos I was just sitting in front of my laptop thinking and thinking what was the best move to ensure all ops were smooth.

Hope tomorrow onwards will be better.

Back home and quickly did my sweeping, mopping and ironing.  Did not have time to do so on Wed before I went back to Pasir Ris to stay over the holidays and weekend.

Rest day

Glad that when I woke up this morning, its still a non working day.  Hahaha...  I like long stretch of resting days.

Went to Orchard Road with my sister to look for some items for her new house.  My parents were tired and lazy to go with us.  I had to divert home as I lost my medicine.  Did not know where they were.  May be accidentally thrown away while we did our spring cleaning of our kitchen yesterday afternoon.

After that, we took bus and change to mrt to Somerset station.  Went to Robinson and followed by Takashimaya.

Bought some stuff and headed home after buying dinner for my parents + ourselves.  After dinner, my sister and I went to Ikea to buy some boxes to keep my parents important stuffs.  I bought some boxes for my brother too.  So that he can keep his important things together and its neater to be in small boxes.

Another day passed.  So fast...

Happy Birthday to Singapore

Happy Birthday to Singapore!  We are not 48!

Its national holiday today but I don't really enjoy it.  Still thinking of our operations that we foresee many hiccups for these few days.  Crossed my fingers that all problems can be solved one by one.

Managed to watch the parade on TV.  I was quite amazed by this year's program.  I like it.  Very different from the past.  I like the story telling of Singapore stories.  The flash "clothes" to show images relating to the stories were super.  Its more difficult than the flash cards that were used many many years ago (I participated once).

Overall is good except the parachute show was cancelled due to strong wind/low cloud.  Too bad....

Hari Raya Puasa

Today is holiday but I do not seem to feel any sign of it.  Stayed indoor for the whole day.

Woke up at 11pm as slept rather late last night.  After lunch, watched TV program a while and started to see incoming enq from 3pm onwards.

Sat at study table from 3.30pm and worked non stop.  I used 2 1/2hrs to finish my plate of rice.  Kept working on those enq.  My dad thought I had finished my dinner but surprised that I still cannot finish it after so long.

Poor me working from 3.30pm to 10.30pm....  No holiday for me at all....

Holiday eve

Today is holiday eve liao.  Tomorrow Hari Raya Puasa and Friday is National Day.  However, don't seem to have the mood to celebrate yet.  So many things in my mind.  Its work...  Headache that we do foresee some operational issues for coming few days.  Sian....

Its also 1st day of the Lunar Seventh month.  My parents waited for me at my house and we went down to pray.  I've asked for SOS to help me as I could not handle myself.  I was home quite late and we quickly proceed to the praying.

Took a cab back to Pasir Ris.  This week, I have no time to sweep floor and wash toilet... Hee hee.... Dirty woman...

I have got prepared that tomorrow is still a working day for me.  My Europe sales offices will definitely still continue to send enquiries in.  So sian...

Tired tired

Feeling tired today.

The weather was so hot this morning and afternoon.  The sun was so warm when we went out for lunch.  However, during lunch, the weather changed to like as if going to rain.  We were so afraid that it started to rain and we did not bring umbrella.

My mind was not working well and I did my work very slowly.

Hope with the long weekend break,  I will feel better.  :)

Monday, August 5, 2013

Another busy Monday

Rather busy today as usual but I am happy that I managed to close 4 deals.

Task for tomorrow is to clear my long outstanding backlog that need to clear by tomorrow no matter what.

Pray hard everything goes smoothly.

Cycling

My niece came in the afternoon and after a while, we left for my sister's house.  The electrician was making a last check before the start of his work.  It was to ensure correct switches are placed as what my sister wants.

The flooring and toilet tiles are done.  Windows put up but lack of one panel in the master bedroom.  My sister not rushing to move in hence the contractors can take their own pace.

Back home and accompanied my niece to cycle.  I dared not cycle as their bicycles are so high that I don't think I can manage.  My younger sister cycled with her but came back with scratches on her led.  The paddles are too sharp.

Had dinner and I was sent home at 8pm.  Rested and did some change to my wardrobe.

I bought 30pcs of hangers from the website.  Tried them and I think they were good.  Decided to order another 100pcs to replace all existing ones.  It made my wardrobe neater leh.  The grey ones.

JEM

This afternoon, we went to JEM for the first time.  Heard it was very crowded since it first opened but we were lucky that it was not so crowded yesterday.  Partly may be due to Muslims are fasting and perhaps they stayed at home and may also due to many people travel out of Singapore to enjoy long holiday with just 3 days leave to be taken next week.

I was very hungry and we had late lunch at E.A.T.  After that, we just walked around and also to look for suitable gift for my brother-in-law's sister's newborn baby.  Got one at Robinson and we think it is quite useful.  Its for baby positioning pillow.

We reached the place at around 7pm and had dinner.  Enjoyed chit chatting with my brother-in-law's relatives.  There are quite frequent gatherings that we attended hence we know them quite well.

Back home at 11pm and just bathed and shall watch some J dramas.  Clearing backlogs.

Dinner ~ No movie

This afternoon, I went for my laser treatment and went back to have lunch with my colleagues.  I took a cab to Lucky Plaza but took bus back to office.  Glad that there are 2 buses I can take and it took just 10mins for me to reach office.  We had lunch at Golden Mile market.  Had Yong Tau Fu again.

After lunch, I took bus to Suntec City.  Going for my medical examination under company insurance.  It was just one bus stop distance and I reached pretty early.  Appointment fixed was at 3pm and I reached there at 2.10pm.  However, I took 30mins to look for the clinic and I was walking to and fro same area for 5 trips.  I think those sales assistance standing outside those shops must be wondering why this person kept walking here and there.  Finally, I decided to call the clinic and asked for direction.  OMG... the clinic is hidden at one corner which I thought it is a path leading to staircase or lift....

The medical examination took just 30mins and I took bus back to office.  Glad that I was just on time to prepare for trading hour.

Left office a bit late at 6.45pm and met up with 小珠 for dinner.  I chose Watami again.  Hee hee...  As usual, we enjoyed the food while chit chatting.  Left restaurant and went home at about 9.45pm.  I bought some Jap titbits.  :)

No movie today as the timings are no good.  Shall see any good timing for next week.

Fish soup

Today, I tried one fish soup stall along Beach Road near my office.  We went there at abt 2pm and hence it was not crowded.  Weather was also cooling to have the fish soup.  We liked it as the fish slices were very fresh.  Can go there again.

Today is first work day of August and we were busy clearing our Jul paperwork.  I managed to clear all except one invoicing which can only be cleared tomorrow.

Back home at 10.30pm.  Did minor cleaning of my 2 toilets.  Too tired for detailed washing.  No strength to sweep floor too.  Nevermind lah.  Since the time I am home is so short, floor not too dirty lah.  Have to find excuses for myself liao.  Saturday to do all housework.  Very siong uh.
