Any luck coming???

Today bad luck continues...

Problem comes one after another. Non-stop!

Really spent a lot of time settling those problems and could not do things that I scheduled to do by today.

Hope good luck be here soon and let me have a good christmas and to enjoy rest of 2011 days.

Had lunch at White Dog Cafe with Tulip and 小珠. The food was not too bad. There was once we went there and the food was not nice after they changed chefs. Since now improving, we can go back again.

Our lunch :

Super unlucky day

Bad start since morning. Problems came one after another. Dunno why like that.

Just praying hard that tomorrow will be fine and all goes smoothly.

Managed to buy 2 christmas presents for my god nieces and glad that it was a good bargain. :P

A sign of good luck coming? Hope so.

Shopping

Shop and shop. Really enjoyed shopping this year. No wonder people who are stressed, can de-stress after shopping.

Bought quite a lot of things this year end. That includes things needed for the new house. Really happy especially when I bought at a saving. So happy.

Went shopping with my mum and met up with my sister's family at Orchard. This morning, train service should resume at 10am but East West line resumed only slightly after 11am and North South line resumed only at around 1pm. Believe this caused inconvenience to many shoppers. I am one of them.

Two days spent on shopping and left with little time to watch my J dramas. So sad....

But I do enjoy these few weekends. Spending money like with eyes closed. When the bills come, I will be awakened!

Dinner at ParkRoyal

This afternoon, I supposed to go Orchard Road to do some Christmas shopping. However, heard that there was some train disruption hence decided not to go. It must be very crowded at the stations. Better avoid.

Tulip called and said she was having diarrhea hence could not join us for dinner. We decided to proceed as planned. Met up with 小珠 at Nicoll Highway station and walked to the hotel.

Our reservation was for 6pm and the restaurant was still rather empty. It became more crowded at around 7pm.

We ate quite a lot but still missed out some food that we originally wanted to try. However, our stomach could not take so much and had to give up. The food was rather good. Hence can go there again.

Another cakie time

Today is one of our colleague's birthday and she is on leave hence we celebrated for her yesterday.

Tomorrow is another one's birthday and we bought a cake for celebration. Two days with cakie. :)



Our company organised a christmas lunch today. We went for a short while only and headed to Orchard Isetan. Sales today for members only. I bought one magic cooker at just $80+. Originally costs $200+ and now it comes with a smaller size magic cooker that usual price is $79. I am looking for one and just a good timing to buy. :)

It's Friday again and we watched movie "New Year's Eve" at 9.35pm. Quite risky to watch this session as the show was 118mins and there was high chance that we could not catch last train home. Anyway, we were glad that we still proceed to watch the movie (no other better option) as got to know of train extension hour for the few Fridays in Dec.

No coordination between smrt/sbs. I nearly missed the last bus home from Pasir Ris interchange. :(

Cutie

My colleague came back from Taiwan and bought something cute for us to share. Went to this shop during my trip there but did not buy any.

Look at the packaging.... So... cute...





And... these are just sweets.



Tomorrow is one of our colleague's birthday and we bought a cake for her. This cake has a very long story. We were too busy today and had no time to buy the cake during lunch. Evening time, realised we yet to buy the cake so went to search for one near our office. Cedele closed early and we could only try our luck at ARC which is partially open today.

Managed to find a cafe that sold whole cake. Its carrot cake. Although not that pretty but better than none. It costs $65 and I intended to use credit card to make payment. However, the staff said they could only accept cash at the moment. Oh dear!!! I also don't have enough cash. In the end, I paid $50 first and borrowed from Ah Cheng. 小珠 had to help to pay the balance by making a second trip there. Haiz... the shop staff should tell me early mah. So pai sei...

Mid week

Its Wednesday again. Mid day of the week. Just 2 more days more to go and it will be Friday.

Today we went to ABC market for lunch. Ordered the roasted pork and duck rice. Originally, I wanted to order roasted pork, roasted duck and bbq pork combo but the seller gave me wrong one. It's ok. Eat less = less fat. Haha...

I still have quite a few xmas presents to buy. Have to plan my time to buy them this weekend or next week. Just one and a half week to go and its Christmas Day.

Christmas coming

Today we received one hamper from our supplier and it is so nice. This makes our office more lively with the snowman with "snowing". Turned on the music and it really let us feel that Christmas is really coming soon.

Took a photo of it. Really cute and nice.

Fishball noodles

Finally, I got to eat the fishball noodle that I craved since last week. No chance to go to Bt Merah for the noodle last week.

My colleague drove us out for lunch and when asked where to go, I suggested Bt Merah. The fishball noodles are very good. We enjoyed it.

Back to office and continue working until 9.30pm. So late again.

My wish yet to come true. Target is to leave office at 7.30pm! All the best!

Disturbing calls

I did not have a good sleep last night. Did not really had a good sleep and was being wakened up at middle of the night by phone call. It was an overseas number and I believed it was not meant for me. Hence, quickly made it silence before my sister woke up.

Went back to sleep and was again disturbed by another call at 6.43am. It was from my colleague who is out of town. I thought there is any issue and answered to call. In the end, I think it was wrongly dialled.

I was so worried that my sister would scold me for the disturbing calls. Me too.... so angry for waking me up unnecessary!!!

Stay indoor today and managed to clear a few episodes of j-dramas. Still have some more to go. Still cannot watch till up-to-date episodes and new ones that I yet to start still remains un-watch. Need to jiayou as another winter season is coming up soon.

Ramen time

This morning, woke up quite early and decided to go for shopping with my sister and mum.

Left home at 12noon and decided to have lunch at Ippudo. The queue was rather long but since we were already there and had intention to eat, we queued patiently. This was the 3 time I went there but I could not remember which ramen did I ordered previously. We decided to choose 3 different types to try.

3 different colour bowls. White, red and black. My mum chose the red. My sister chose the black. So I left with white. The white was originally chosen by myself and it really suits my taste. My mum said the red one was too oily and she preferred the black one that my sister chose. She likes miso paste. Next time, I must remember my choice. :)

Went to Metro and Takashimaya for shopping. Need to shop for christmas presents. However, we ended up buying things for our home instead. I still have some items to buy so need to go shopping again next week. Not much time left liao.

Our lunch:

Twilight

Friday is always the best day of the working week. Everyone are in good mood today. Me too...

Went to VivoCity during lunch time. Our favourite lunch venue on Friday is at VivoCity. We can eat and shop before going back to office. For us, we can also collect our movie tickets for tonight's show.

We booked 8.50pm show for "The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn Pt 1" hence we did not have time to eat dinner as we left office quite late after clearing our work.

Sneaked in with McDonald Nuggets. Luckily no spot check on bags and we could eat quite "safely" as we had 2 solo seats corner of the back row. No one beside us so we could eat without worry that people could see our "illegal" food.

This show was good. No wonder the reviews are so good. Now have to wait for pt 2. Hopefully we do not have to wait for too long. Otherwise, I will forget the first part and difficult to continue watching part 2. :)

One more day

One more day to go and it's Friday. The day I've been looking forward since Monday. Will be watching movie tomorrow at 8.50pm hence hopefully, we can finish our work early and be on time for dinner and movie. Last week, we missed the beginning part of the movie.

We went to Alexandra Village for lunch today. It's been at least 5 years since I last went there for lunch. Many stores changed. Ate a mini wok soup noodle and it was good. Next time can eat again.

Bought tradition bread and cake from a confectionery that is there for many many years. It is run by an old couple and the breads are charged reasonably. Quite cheap until we were figuring out if we were billed wrongly.

Today, we left office quite late at 10.20pm. I really hope next week, I can go home earlier. Not healthy lei...

Not time to relax

Another long day with no time to relax like last week. Things keep pouring in for me to settle.

Had lunch with customer at Keyaki Japanese restaurant and Pan Pacific hotel. I chose the teppanyaki set and it was very good. The garlic fried rice was super the good uh.

Next time, shall go again if have chance.

Birdei

Today is mine birdei. So fast, one year older. Why age not reversing lei?

My colleagues treat me lunch and celebrated with me this evening with a lovely strawberry shortcake. Yummy...

Not much surprises today. Except we had to do a short video for our company's annual d n d at Shenzhen next year. As most of us will not be joining, the company wants us to do a short greeting video. It was so comical that we kept laughing. Finally completed after 2 ngs.

Left office late today. Must make sure I try to go home a little bit earlier each day. That's my wish.

Monday blue again

Monday... Don't feel like waking up in the morning. Don't feel like going to work today. But... no choice but to wake up and go to work.

Quite busy the whole day hence the day passed very fast. Zoom..... and it's night time liao.

Back home waiting for 4 days more to go and its Friday again.

Monday yet to over and I am already thinking of Friday. Why isn't everyday is Friday???

Not Sun Day

Today, the weather was cooling in the morning and rained in the late afternoon. Its Sunday today but not a Sunny Day. I cleared some office work this morning and started to watch j dramas before going out in the evening.

Managed to clear up to date for few of the dramas. Those yet to start, still pending. Left house at 5pm for dinner at The Buffet Town at Raffles City Shopping Center.

We met up with my elder sister's family and went in. There were varieties of food there. Chinese, Italian, Indian, Japanese etc. However, the food were quite filling and we could not eat much. Quite good and just that we our stomach could not take too much.

Went to NEX after dinner to buy a cooking pot for my mum. My younger sister won some vouchers for winning games when she participated bowling competition held by her company. The Fairprice Extra at NEX is operating 24 hours hence we went there since the store is bigger and sell more stuff.

My sister sponsor a rice cooker for my new home. Not expensive but is enough for me. One more item added to my storage list. Now my brother's room is my store room. Hee hee...

It continues...

Why why why....

Problem kept popping up. After settling the issues yesterday, this morning I received a call again that there was another one.

That was a long one to solve. Finished all the communications only at about 3.30pm. Monday still have to follow up. So sian....

Today went to Courts Mega Store at Tampines. Not prepared... but ultimately placed a deposit for a set of bed frame + mattress from Sealy. Intention was to get from Simmon at a later date but after getting recommendation by Sealy promoter, I made the decision. Reason = lock in promotional price lah. Women are like that. Hahaha.

Since I bought 2 items earlier, I need not pay additional delivery charge. This is the good point of getting the big items at same store.

Bought a queen size bed. It is a middle range model. I like one of the expensive one but don't really think I need it. Slept on it and it was very comfortable. That model is currently used by St Regis hotel in Singapore. Another one model is currently used by Capella hotel. However after comparing it with the one I chose, there was not much difference so I bought the cheaper one. The difference is $1000 and the promoter said if I found no difference, no need to buy the expensive one.

Dinner appointment with 小珠 and Tulip was cancelled as Tulip was not feeling well. We postpone for 2 weeks. Shall enjoy the good food in 2 weeks time.

After shopping at Courts, we went to Ikea. Just bought some plastic cups and plates then we headed to Tampines for dinner. Had our dinner at 店小二 and went home.

Spent whole day out and no time to watch j dramas. Oh dear!

Super bad day

Today, it marks the worst day I experienced for this year.

Kept hearing bad news since morning. The earlier ones were not related to me but the night ones were. We were rushing to clear our work so that we could leave office to catch the movie at 9.20pm. However, problems kept coming in unexpectedly. Did not know if I was lucky or unlucky. Unlucky was I got 2 problems simultaneously. Lucky was they happened before the movie and managed to settle before I left office.

In the end, we were rather late and left not much time for dinner. Our plan was to dine at LJS. Left 10 mins before 9.20pm but we still proceed with dinner. 小珠 went to collect tickets and I went to LJS to find seats. It was rather empty hence I proceeded to buy our dinner and waited for 小珠 to be back.

After dinner, we "cheong" to the theater. We were late by 10mins (after the suppose to be 20mins advertisement+trailers time). Hopefully we didn't miss too much. :)

Good and entertaining movie. Maybe we were too rush that we found that we just got seated and the movie finished so fast. :P

Strange scene at Pasir Ris bus interchange. So many people waiting for buses at midnight. The feeder bus I took was so full until the driver had to shout and requested passengers to move towards the back to allow more passengers to board the bus. Luckily, I managed to get a seat and took a relaxing journey home instead of standing like a sardine.

Holiday mood

Today, many of my colleagues were same as me. Holiday mood liao.

We did not feel like working. For this whole week, we had lunch till at least 3pm. But to clarify, we went out for lunch very late. So it was reasonable. Hee hee...

Boss on leave from today till mid month. So we are a little bit more relax. He is in USA so will not call us so often lah.

Waiting for Friday night to enjoy my weekend again.
