Busy Busy

This afternoon, we went shopping with my niece.  I guided her how to take MRT from Jurong station to Orchard station.  This was the first time she taking MRT on her own.  Since its her first time, I asked her to take the longer route via North East line to Orchard.  Did not want to confuse her.

Using What's apps as communication tool to tell her where to go and update us where she was.  Finally met up with her at 2.30pm at Orchard station.  We proceeded to Ngee Ann City for tea break as I was very hungry as I did not have my breakfast at home.  Had cakes and coffee.  Yummy.  The Apple crumbs cake from Coffeebean was really delicious.

We started our shopping (adult shopping) in Takashimaya and my niece kept pestering us to bring her to Toys dept.  Finally after about 45mins, we finished ours and brought her there.  She was looking around and eyeing on Lego.  Walked one round and still back to the same counter.  We knew she wanted it and asked her to choose one as her Christmas present.  She chose so long until the last piece of Lego Hero she wanted was taken up by another person.  We even kept following that lady, hoping she would put back that set but gave up eventually.  We think she did know we were following her.  Hahaha.

In the end, she had to choose another character.  She found another box and we held it for her while she was thinking if she wanted to buy.  The whole process of her "thinking" took up about 1 hr and 30 mins in total.  Ai yoh... our legs were aching.  Finally bought the 2 items for her.

It was very crowded in Takashimaya today as there was additional 10% disc for card members and today was the last day.  To avoid the crowd, we took train to NEX for dinner.  My niece wanted Pasta Mania but both myself and my sister rejected.  Finally she decided on Sushi Tei.  I was card member and this month is my BD month, I enjoyed 20% disc.  Good lei.

Back home at 10.30pm.  Very busy and tired day.  Tomorrow will be going to Hello Kitty land.  My niece said she is looking forward to it.  I dare not tell her that it is just a little kiddy place.  Hahaha...

BD

Today is a very relaxing day.

Woke up in the morning at 9.30am.  Done my toilets washing by 11am.  Bathed and settled down to read emails.

Supposed to pick up my niece at the bus interchange at around 2pm but she said changed to 4pm.  Hence plan was to pick her up and have dinner before coming home.  However, at 3plus, my sister said my niece had hurt her hand while playing swave board and need to monitor her if it will be swollen.

In the evening, they went to see doctor at SGH for Xray. However, hospital asked them to go to KK hospital.  Luckily after the xray, no fracture.  Shall arrange how to meet my niece tomorrow.  Only now then I know she does not know how to take MRT to Orchard.  Faint uh.

Opened my pressie from 小珠.  It is a lap holder for ipad/tablets.  Very useful and comfortable while putting on my laps.  Do not have to worry that the heat will "burn" my skin.  Hahaha.

So fast, the day passed.  Afternoon was rather cooling as it rained.  Hope tomorrow is another cooling day but pray hard no rain.  I am going for shopping with my younger sis and mum.  Its her BD tomorrow.

Early celebration

Today will be the last day of work for me for this week.  Taking 2 days off tomorrow and the day after.  Its my B day tomorrow.  My younger sis B day is the day after.  Hence I decided to take leave to relax.  Initial plan was to stay at home R & R but in the end, will "babysit" my niece till Saturday.  We are bringing her to Hello Kitty Land in Malaysia on Saturday.  Just a day trip there.

My colleagues gave me a treat today during lunch.  We went to Akashi Jap restaurant and I ordered the same bento set that I always eat.  I really like it.  :)  Had a very full lunch and its full of chit chatting.  After lunch, we shared 2 cups of ice-cream.  The vouchers I bought from Gmarket will be expired tomorrow.  Need to redeem them by today no matter how full we are.  Hee hee.

Got a surprise when my colleague presented a birthday cake to me this evening.  The other colleagues joined to sing me 3 birthday songs (diff languages).  Happy to celebrate my B day with so many colleagues.  I am so touched!  My main wish is ....  shhhhh....  No use lah, I think many people already know what is my wish this year.

小珠 gave me a present today.  I am going to open it when the clock strikes 12am.  :)

Received the items I ordered through Gmarket.  Nice, cute and useful cord clips.

Angry bird

Today is really a very bad day for me.  Morning started with a unreasonable request to compile data within the day.  Data not available off hand and had to chase few of my colleagues to complete asap.  There were time difference for some of the offices and had no choice but to ask them to complete it no matter what.

Followed by a few issues that made me even angry.  My colleague said I was an angry bird today.  I am really one!!!  Hope I just need to be an angry bird for one day only.

Felt so tired after the day ended.  Left office late at almost 8pm.  Bo hua uh!  Went office so early but left so late.  :(

Glad that after tomorrow, I can rest for the whole week till Sunday.  Really hope I won't be disturbed by work.

Early Xmas celebration

Big boss in town and we had an early Christmas celebration.  Had buffet dinner after speeches by Management.  Food wise was good except that portion not too sufficient.  Few dishes were finished by the time its our turn to get the food.

Left office late and tomorrow must be early!!!!

Apple, I dun like

This afternoon, I was trying to figure out the new itunes being updated on my niece's laptop.  Tried to find where is the menu bar and finally got it after some search.  I still do not like Apple.

I pity her that she all along did not have any music stored in her iphone and ipod touch.  Her dad is anti apple products and her mum is using iphone but does not know how to transfer music in.

She has iphone 5 without music.  Imagine how strange to have new phone but cannot listen to music.  I spent some time teaching her how to transfer music in (although I am also trying to explore myself) and how to convert youtube video to mp3.  Its safer to teach her such conversion because if she searches for mp3 in the websites, she may accidentally dl files with virus.

Now she knows the basic steps and can start to dl her favourite kpop songs in.

I am taking leave on coming Thu and Fri.  Plan is that my niece will come and stay with me on Thu and Fri nights.  Saturday morning we will go to Singapore Flyer to meet up with my mum and sister as we have booked a day trip to Hello Kitty Land.  Just a short short trip but at least can bring my niece out for an outing with her parents.  My elder sister said that she purposely do not want to go so that her daughter can stick with us.  Bonding time.....

So sian... tomorrow back to work again.

My mum bought a cake for me and my sister for our B day.

Treatment started

This morning, worked up very late at 11am.  Done cleaning and left house at 2.15pm.  Missed bus hence decided to take a cab to Bishan MRT station in order not to be late for my skin treatement at 3pm.  Luckily I took cab as I reached the clinic just on time at 3pm.

Consulted the doctor again before the laser treatment and done by 3.30pm.  There are still redness on my face and it looks quite ugly.  Although this was considered a mild laser power. 

Collected a keyboard from Harvey Norman @ Centrepoint before taking bus to Marina Square.  Wanted to look for TheFaceShop in order to buy BB cream to camouflage the redness on my face.   However, I could not find it after walking the whole 2nd floor.  I believed it had moved out. 

Still early hence had a drink at O'Coffee Club.  Headed for Ritz hotel to meet up with my family members at 6.30pm.  Our dinner booked at Green House restaurant to celebrate my and my sister's birthday.  The lobsters were good!!!

TGIF

Its Friday Its Friday!!!  So happy.

The day passed quite fast today and that is good.  I love Friday night.

Today, we watched movie "The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn Pt 2" at 8.45pm.  We forgo free tickets to watch "Skyfall" as the seats allocated to us by our company were no good.  Hence we gave away the tickets.

The movie was great and filled of laughter.  It was a comedy which my colleague told us prior we watched.  However, it had a good ending.  Glad that we did not miss it.


Shen mi ren joined us for dinner before our movie.  小珠 suggested O'Coffee Club and we had no objection.  First time she gave suggestion for meal lei.  We ordered 3 main dishes and 1 dessert for sharing.  Had a very great dinner there.

Today is our colleague's last day.  Another one left....  Sad lei.  When will my turn comes and any farewell for me???  Hee hee...

She gave each of us a small little gift and she was really thoughtful.  Shall keep in touch with her via Facebook and playing Scramble game.  We can meet her and other ex colleagues for lunch when convenient.

Tired

Talked over the phone till almost 2am with my colleague and slept at around 2.30am.  Woke up at 6.55am.  Not enough sleep hence very tired today.

Not too busy this afternoon but .... same thing happened again.  Each time I preparing to leave office at 6.30pm, new enq will be received.  I hate it!!!!

Eyes very tired.  Will try to sleep early tonight.

Disturbing my niece

Normal day.  Nothing special.  But happy to disturb my niece tonight.

Success

Left office at 7pm and still missed my target of 6.30pm.  Shall try again tomorrow onwards.

Tonight, I tried to cook soup for dinner again.  Yesterday was a failure.  My colleague said that as I did not use chicken or pig's bones to enhance the sweetness of the soup, I need to at least add chicken stock cube.  

Went to Econ Minimart to buy it and added a bit to the soup.  It turned out quite good.  Although not as good as my mum's cooking but at least was drinkable.  But I told my sister that I spent too much time cooking just a bowl of soup.  Think eat fruits better.  Hahaha...

Failure

1st failure of the day : Did not manage to leave office by 6.30pm.

2nd failure of the day : See below

Looks quite colourful but....its tasteless uh!!!  In the end did not finish the soup but just ate the ingredients except the corn.  It isn't sweet at uh uh!!!  Really helpless...  Spent so much time preparing and result is bad. :(

Reward my hard work with fruits as dessert.  The apples were crunchy and good looking.  But.... they were not sweet!!!   What happened today?  Had a bad trip to office as I was bullied by people in the MRT and could not snatch a seat.  Now food also bullied me.  

So fast

Its too fast....  Sunday liao.

I enjoyed doing nothing and just laze around.  My niece did not come to my parents house hence a bit quiet a home.  I just continue watching some dramas that I saved in my thumbdrive.  However, I did not watch a lot because the files cannot be launched.  So sad...

My mum packed some fresh prawns, vegetables and pork meat for me.  I am trying to cook soup for dinner.  Hopefully will be successful.  :)

Hate tonight cos just few hours later, it will be Monday morning and is another long week.

Nice day

Woke up at 10.45am and it was a breezy day.  Nice and cooling air blowing into my house.  Did housework and surfed net at home until 5pm.  Met up with the 2 girls for dinner.

Wow... the spread for the dinner buffet at The Melt was really good.  We ate until stomach very the full.  Chit chatting as usual and it was really a nice day for me.  Relaxing lei.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Was very full and the walk from Marina Square to Cityhall Mrt station was good.  On the way, saw this beautiful christmas tree.  Wow... Christamas is really coming soon. 

 

 

Fantastic movie

Woke up at 7am this morning unwillingly.  Have to start going to work earlier due to change of HOD.  Stupid system.  Reason why I always go to work at 10 - 10.15am was because we could not go home on time as others due to our nature of work.  However early I am, I still cannot leave until 7pm.  Real stupid!!!!!!!  Not sure how long we have to endure but just wait and see.

So pissed off and just glad that its Friday today and I am looking forward for the movie.  We watched Rise of the Guardians and it was a very very good movie.  Fantastic I would rate it as.  I love the story and the characters.   Sandman is so cute. Tooth fairy is so beautiful.  Jack Frosts is so cool.  Just that I did not know that there is such character like Jack Frosts and Pitch Black.  What am I doing during my childhood???  Even for tooth fairy, I only got to know when we watched one of the movie that was about tooth fairy.  Hahaha.

We left office at about 7pm and had plenty of time to have our dinner.  Suggested to have dinner at Vivocity Food Republic.  After dinner, went for a short shopping and managed to buy the christmas tree that I am trying to look for since last Saturday.  I am now so happy.  Shall decorate my living room tomorrow morning.

Oh yah.. looking forward to tomorrow's dinner.  Meeting Tulip and 小珠 for dinner at The Melt @ Mandarin Oriental.  Its to celebrate 小珠's belated birthday together with Tulip.

There are so many good movies airing and we have to find some extra time to watch them before it ends.  Stressed uh!

Mixed feeling

Today, we had a farewell lunch with our CEO.  Its his treat actually.  Its a gathering for us and I sincerely wish him all the best.  On the other hand, sad that he no longer is our big boss.  I respect him a lot.  He is a very good big boss that treat everyone fairly.

There will be changes and foresee will be a very drastic change.  Just keep my fingers crossed that we can go through the bad times together and safely.

Have to report to work earlier from tomorrow onwards.  So sian.

Eat again

My colleague came back from her Europe trip and gave us a box of chocolates each.  The packaging is so nice that I simply do not want to eat them.  Shall keep till right time to eat.  :P

Had a good lunch today again.  One of my colleague suggested Marutama at The Central and I agreed immediately.  Could not resist nice Japanese food.  Hee hee...  Fat liao fat liao.

Ah Cheng sent me a photo of her eye.  Getting better liao.  Hope she can recover soon and back to office.

Food again

This morning, it was unusual that the train was so empty.  I supposed to take the next train but looking at such empty cabin, I felt so wasted for not taking that train.  Hence, decided to board it and to wait for 小珠 at Labrador station.  Ultimately, she actually missed her train.  Hee hee...

Had good lunch again today.  We went to Ichiban Sushi restaurant as Miss Shen Mi Ren was full of  anger and wanted to eat good food.  I ordered a set with garlic sauce chicken with soft shell crabs.  Ordered my favourite mentai potato too.  Nice nice.

Took few photos this afternoon as my application to renew passport was rejected due to uneven colour tone of the submitted photo.  I could not feel relax while taking and kept laughing.  Ai yah.  Don't care lah.  Just take one of the best to submit.  Anyway no one see except immigration counter staff.  LOL.
