Month end

So fast... its last day of September.  Nearer to year end liao.

Rather busy today and did not manage to do part of my closing paperwork in office tonight.  Was busy handling enquiries and cleared the paperwork.  Managed to close 3 deals today.  I am Miss 3 today.  :)

Shall focus on my closing tomorrow am.

Relax

Relaxing Sunday.

Did washing of bedsheets for my bro, sweep/mop floor and washed toilets.  My parents found strange I did not go over at 12 plus and came over to look for me.  Actually I was already getting prepared to go over.  :P

Did nothing but watched TV programs and J dramas in the afternoon.  My niece not around so the house was rather quiet.

My mum cooked and finally I can eat home cooked food after a week of outside food.

Tomorrow is my bro off day but he is extremely tired and we went home at 9+.  He slept at around 10pm.  His shift will be 7am to 3pm mostly for next month.  He has to sleep earlier daily as he needs to wake up at abt 5+am to reach his workplace at 6.45am.  Hope he can get use to it.

Finally I managed to solve the problem on accessing to our co network from my own laptop.  The citrix receiver having some problem.  After I uninstalled and re-installed, it works.  I even tried to install on my ipad and it works too.

Relaxing day

Woke up at 10am and simply too lazy to do housework.  Decided to sweep/mop floor tomorrow since my bro helped to do it once on Thursday night.  Just cleaned window grilles and cleaned table tops.   Toilet washing also will do it tomorrow morning.  My niece not coming so I can finish the chores before going over to my sis place.

Do not know what happened to my laptop that I could not access to our co network.

My hairstylist told me of the new store selling Hokkaido cheesecakes.  I suspected that it was the one I ate before during trip to Hokkaido with Tulip and 小珠.  She loves the cakes and will buy them again this evening.  I decided to take a look and it was a bad decision to do that.  I bought a box.  Quite expensive.  8 pcs costs $19.80.  I bought so that my parents can try them.

Real busy day

We had customer lunch today and the food was quite nice.  Had a good timing eating and chatting.

Evening, I was super busy as the enquiries came in together and I had so many to handle at same time.  I was happy that I managed to close 7 deals today.  My record of highest hit rate.  I am not Miss One or Two orders.  I am Miss Seven orders today.  :)

Due to need to close the deals, I was late in leaving office for our movie.  Luckily, Ah Cheng drove us there.  Pencil joined us to meet Ah Xue and we had dinner at LJS.  Ah Xue could not stand office people (our ex-colleagues) and asked us that if there is any opening in our co, let her and Ah Thin know.

We chit chatted and were late for our movie.  Luckily, we did not miss much.  We watched "2 Guns" and it was quite nice.  Action packed movie.

Looking forward to sleep and wake up late tomorrow.  However, I am going for hair cut appointment at 2pm so also cannot drag too long to wake up.

Normal day

Its a normal day today.  However, it finally rained and cooled the temperature.

Had a team lunch today at a Mexican restaurant.  Quite an unusual dining place.

Looking forward to Friday.

Mid week

Glad that its mid week again.  Looking forward to Friday.  Booked movie for this Friday liao.

Today quite ok for me and I am happy that I cleared most of my backlog of paperwork.  Next week is month end closing and I need to clear as much as possible.  :)

Bro first day of work

This morning, my bro woke up very early to prepare for his first day of work.

He needs to wear white long sleeves shirt with black pants to work.  So worried he will perspire before reaching his new work place.  He went for interview yesterday and started job today.  Fast wor.

I managed to leave office by 9pm and but unable to have time to check if everything was ok for him today.  He was very tired and already on bed when I reached home.

Shall ask him tomorrow am.

Monday blue

Its Monday again.  So sian uh.

Back to work and have to wait for another 4 days to pass.

Today, we have new colleague joining. Tomorrow one more.  Our team is growing bigger and hope that with additional headcounts, they can ease our workload.  I do not wish to stay late everyday.

Home cooked food

My niece didn't come today hence rather quiet at home.  I went over to my sis house and stayed there till night time.

We went out to buy a trolley for my parents' marketing and also a new stand fan as my mum needs it during cooking time.  Too hot in the kitchen hence we bot one to place it near entrance to kitchen and it can also be used during dinner time.

My dad bot crabs and we invited our aunt to come over for dinner.  She loves crabs.  However, she already had dinner appointment but she still wanted to come over just to have the crabs.  :)

My sis place is almost done and they are settled down liao.

Finally, I can ate home cooked food today liao.  Waited for so long....

Nice dinner

This morning, the aircon contractor came to diagnose what really happened on the leak of my aircon unit.  However, after some checks, the reason still unknown.  No choice but to monitor again.

A little bit good news is there wasn't any leak after I switched off the power.  Monitored for about 5 hrs.  It looks ok.  Hopefully the problem resolved by itself.

I took 4 hrs to do my housework today.  Double my usual time as I washed my bedsheets and washed toilets today too.  Hence more time needed.

Went to NEX for dinner with my parents, sis and bro.  We went to Bibigo Hot Stone restaurant.  My bro wanted to try and we ok too.  Glad that we tried as the food was quite good.  Looks healthy too.  It is restaurant serving Korean food.

After that, we went to Ikea to buy some boxes and study chair for my sis.  Headed home after that.

Feeling rather tired....

Dinner:

Good day

It was rather a peaceful day for me.  I did my work on a very nice pace.

Evening was quiet with not many enq but before I wanted to leave office for movie, suddenly more enq came in.  I quickly finished it and left to watch movie at Vivo City.  We decided to head back to GV Vivo City as we prefer the seats there.

We had a quick dinner at Carls Junior and watched "We're the Millers" at 9.30pm.  It was a comedy show and we laughed throughout.  Very entertaining and kept all audience laughing.

Angry

Wow I was soooooo angry today.  One of our sales person made me so mad.  Cannot understand why such people exists.

It caused me 4 hrs to handle him.  Otherwise, I could actually leave office earlier since there was not much enq today.  Really problematic man.

Angry angry angry angry angry!!!!

Went to Bugis for praying and before that, we had lunch at a pork chop store along the way.  We walked from office.  Taking bus not a good idea as the road was rather jammed due to the road closure (F1).  After lunch, we had coffee and bread.   The bread was super nice.  :)

A little bit relax

Today, I kind of have a more relaxing pace during working hours.

I am glad that I cleared most of the backlog and can no need to worry so much.

Had dinner with Ah Hu.  He will be going back to Hong Kong tomorrow.  Had dinner at Sze Chuan Dou Hua.  I like the dou hua.  Hee hee...

Housework

Had my favourite fish soup for lunch today and I felt so satisfied.

Stayed late tonight to clear some backlogs of paperwork.  Glad that left a few more to go.

Reached home and found a surprise.  My bro ironed clothes for me.  Wow... his first time wor.  So happy that he did for me.  My sister said I bullied him uh.  I never hor.

First day

Today is 小珠's first day of work.  However, it doesn't look like her first day.  She started to work on some task from Ah Cheng liao.

She stayed till quite late today and we kept asking her to go back.  We no choice but to stay back.

Very tired today as I did not have good rest during weekend.  Kept yawning....  zzzzzz

Continuation

This morning, went over to my sis place.  No breakfast hence decided to go out for lunch with my parents and bro.

After lunch we walked to NEX.  Bought bermudas for my bro as he only has long jeans and imagine he has to wear long jeans to NEX....  He needs some casual clothing to go nearby places.

I bought 3 pairs of home slippers.  One for me, one for my mum and one for my bro.  Quite expensive.  Cost $69.90 for a pair.  It is said to be made on yellow soil that can stimulate blood circulation.  I bought to try out.  If good, will buy a pair for my dad.

Went to NEX for dinner again with my elder sister and her family.  We had it at MOF.  My younger sister used my niece's phone line to buy her new Samsung S4 phone.  Her Samsung S2 is giving her problem and she is going to sell it.

Very tiring weekend for me.  No time to watch my dramas uh.  So fast its Monday soon.  :(

Moving

This morning, I woke up at 9.30am to start doing some housework.  The mover will reach my parents house at 1pm and I need to get ready to receive my bro bed and his barang barang.

Not many things for him hence we managed to unpack and pack his things within 2 hrs then cheong to my sis house.

Wow... the house in a mess lor.  They were busy unpacking and to pack into cabinets.  OMG!!! Their packing was real bad.  My father can actually place the wok that my mum will use regularly at the bottom of the L-shape corner of the cabinet.  Some more right inside.  I nearly fainted.  He was making it so difficult for my mum to take out and put back each time.  I re-arranged for easy access.

Their packing really CMI.  Those tea leaves, they placed it so high.  Each time want to drink tea, have to take a chair to climb up...  I re-arranged for them at another cabinet with easy access.

My sister's packing also bad.  I suggested to her to re-arrange her those not using frequent bags to keep at cupboard that she usually hardly open (behind the door).  She squeezed all in one small column of her cupboard that usually need to open for her daily makeup.

I am their QC manager.  Hahaha.

We managed to do all the unpacking and tidying by night time.  A bit tired and I went home at around 11pm.

My bro settled down and hope he can get use to the new environment.  I even give him some orientation .  Hahaha.

Day full of good food

Today, we continued to delivery mooncakes but could only sent to 3 companies due to lack of time.  Left office quite late at 12.15pm and did one delivery before meeting our customer at Bugis Junction.

We had lunch at Shokudo Japanese Coffee House.  The food was very nice and I will go again.  I ordered the grilled chicken chop with Wasabi mayo.  My colleague ordered Mentai scallops pasta.  Our customer ordered beef udon.  Side dishes were unagi pizza, garden salad (real nice) and salmon maki.  Yummy.

Evening, I met up with 小珠 for dinner at PS.  I was very late and so paisei.  I reached office at 5pm and busy with the enq.  Today quite a lot and with other misc things to settle, time passed very fast.

Had dinner at Itacho Sushi.  We ordered the 2 pax set and they were nice too.  Just that we were stressed by the limited table space and had to clear the food timely in order for another dish to be served.  Haha.

Good food = good day

Mooncakes festival

Today onward till next week, we will be busy distributing mooncakes.  We will hand delivered as it will be more personalised and can at same time meet up with suppliers or customers.

Few of us lunch in today and started to go out at around 1.15pm.  I paired up with Ah Huang and we only managed to send to 5 places.  One of the place was our ex-co.  Glad to meet up with ex-colleagues :)

Stayed late tonight to finish my work so that tomorrow I can go out earlier to distribute the mooncakes.

So fast, my parents/bro/sis going to move over to my sis new place and mine (for my bro).

Looking forward.  However, will be busy weekend for me.

Mid week

So fast... its Wed.

I am so tired after the trip to Penang.  Did not have enough sleep.

Yesterday night, we nearly missed our flight.  However, we were lucky.  So hope that lady luck will with me forever.  :)

Eat and Eat

My colleague and I shared one room and our HR colleague booked a better room for us.  We stayed at Traders Hotel and had a Traders Club room that we can enjoyed some privilege but as we checked in quite late, only can enjoyed the complimentary breakfast today.  Very quiet place for us to enjoy our breakfast.  We ate some only (just want to see the special privilege to dine at the Club Lounge) as we met up with supplier and another colleague for local breakfast.

Had nasi lemak, poached eggs and toasted bread at Penang famous breakfast place.  Very local food and the bread was toasted by using charcoal.  Nice smell and it reminded me of the bread I ate when I was a kid.  My grandfather had a food stall in a coffee shop last time and we used to eat the bread there.  It tasted the same.  Yummy.

It rained since yesterday night and we decided to go to G Hotel to have coffee.  Purposely went to see how G Hotel looks like.  It is a better hotel and too bad we could not book a room as it was fully booked.  Had a glass of apple juice and enjoyed the cool weather.

Next, we met up with supplier's bosses and had lunch at a chinese restaurant.  The food was rather nice and we chit chatted until around 3pm.  Our supplier drove us around the famous Gurney Drive and some other places that served good food.  

We were quite full and decided to go to the mall beside our hotel for coffee/tea.  Chit chatted till around 5pm.  Then we went to eat the famous Char KwayTiao at Jalan Siam.  Very traditional way of cooking using charcoal and the stall standing at side of the road.  Real nice.

After that, we quickly rushed back to hotel and there was already jam due to peak hour where everyone going home after work.  Managed to get a cab and zoomed to the airport.  Our flight was at 8.40pm and we left at around 6.50pm.  

We were caught in the jam and managed to reach the airport at 7.50pm.  Luckily managed to check in on time.  Phew...  Luckily the cab driver droved "recklessly" by going against the traffic and hence "jumped queue".  Otherwise, we will miss our flight and really need to stay one more night liao.  Our supplier told us to purposely miss flight so that can continue to eat tomorrow.  Hahaha.

Back home at 11pm.  So tired.  Very tiring trip.  Rushed to airport both in Singapore and Penang.

In Penang

Where am I now???  Its Penang!

Just this afternoon, my boss and team leader discussed future re-shuffling of job scopes within our team.  I will team up with Ah Fen and will handle W Malaysia enq.  Hence, last minute decided to fly to Penang with her tomorrow am for a day trip.

However, my HR colleague said the travel agency booked wrong flights for us.  At around 5pm, we were told that our flight was at 10.30pm.  OMG!!!  No preparation at all and need to rush back home to pack for overnight stay in Penang. 

Luckily it is just to have lunch with one supplier hence no need any preparation.  Just need to ensure I bring all things necessary for a night stay.  I almost late uh.  Luckily did web check in before leaving office.

So.... I am now in Penang....

Another busy day

This afternoon, we went to my sister's house again.  Since my brother-in-law was here, we decided to bring over some items to lessen the hassle next week.  We brought over shoe boxes, some pots and my clothes hangers (I ordered online).

I also need to pack my sister's stuff that she kept in my house so as to give way for my brother.

Finally cleared and now shall wait for the move next week.

We went to nearby coffee shop for dinner and I ordered chicken chop from Charred & Grilled.  Not too bad.  :)

Busy busy day

This morning, my aircon contractor came to inspect the leaks that I am encountering after switching of aircon.  However, after some checks, they could not find any problem.  Hence, I was asked to try to on aircon for a lower temp and higher fan power to see if I still have the same problem.  After they left and I switched off the aircon, it leaked again (after about 2 hours).  Very strange.  They will come again in 2 weeks time since next Sat, its my parents/sister/brother moving house day.

Went over to my sister's house and helped her do some layering of cupboard sheets.  Her furniture came today and we had to clean and tidy them.

My parents and brother came over to meet us for dinner.  Finally, today is my brother's last working day.  My sister spoke to his manager and managed to get him resigned and able to have today as his last working day.  At least he has time to do his packing and also helped my parents.

After settling down in my house and get used to the new environment, then shall let him look for new job near Serangoon area.

Movie time

Yippy TGIF.  Waiting for this day to come.

We had good lunch at Ma Maison at Bugis.  Our boss craved for the food hence drove us there.  A good meal to make us happy???  Hahaha.

Today is 小珠's last day of work.  Soon we will be colleagues again.

We met up at Burger King for dinner and we watched " Percy Jackson : Sea of Monsters".  It was a nice movie and some parts I was shocked by the sudden loud sound and sudden unexpected scenes.  One lady behind us kept screaming.  Hahaha.

I was watching and also at the same time replying some emails due to our sales people kept calling me and I need to tell them that my colleague was covering me while I was watching movie.  Luckily I still can catch up.

Nice movie.  :)

My lunch : Squid ink curry rice

Famous steamboat

Wow... Found one more nice place to eat.  We had lunch with our supplier at nearby Golden Mile Tower.  This store sells famous hainanese chicken rice and also steamboat.  Our supplier ordered the steamboat, some prawn fritters, satay, roast pork and hainanese chicken and rice.  Nice food lei.

Really a lot of nice food near our office area. Next time can bring my parents to eat there.

Today not too many inquiries hence I can complete my work and left office at 10pm.  Hope I can slowly slowly go back earlier.  :P

Mid week

So fast, its middle of the week liao.  Left 2 more days to weekend.  Looking forward to more sleep.  Hee hee.

Went to have my lazer treatment during lunch time.  Now I left one more treatment to complete my package of 10 treatments.  Doctor said I can stop the treatment as my freckles are not so visible now.  Although still have.  It lightened a lot.

Tonight, stayed in office till very late.  My colleagues went to buy dinner for us.  So good....  I had fishball noodles.

Almost completed our closing for Aug.

2nd work day

Today is 2nd work day for the month of Sep and I was struggling to clear the month end closing.  However, still have some docs pending to clear.  Haiz....  Its due to some swopping of orders.  Next time better dun do such swopping.  Headache uh.  Our Finance dept colleagues all confused and do not know how to close.  :(

Went for my face treatment during lunch time with Ah Huang and followed with lunch at Scotts Hoshigaoka.  Food quite nice.  Was so relaxing there until I did not feel like going back to work.

Decided to stay late to clear my work.  Shall try to adjust my timing from tomorrow onwards.  No more late late nights liao!

Tiring day

Tiring day for me and my colleagues.  We had been rushing to do closing since morning.  My mood not really nice today as people kept chasing for the close.  How to close withing half a day lah.

Anyway, managed to complete most of them before 4pm.  Tomorrow continues.

Our big bosses in town this week.  Everyone started to tidy own desk by end of the day.  Tomorrow have to reach office before 10am.

September

So fast... its September liao.

Tomorrow is our first work day of the month and I definitely will be very very busy.  Hope all goes well.

Today, I helped out my parents and brother to "throw away" things.  Left 2 weeks before their move and really need to throw whatever we think not necessary to have.  My poor brother, I kept throwing his things.  But... I decided to let him bring over his mini car models over.  I think he really like them.

My niece really like her new bike and keep asking her dad to modify for her.  It is too big and high that I dare not cycle.
