Paradise Inn – B3 @ 313 Somerset
23 July 2010 – farewell lunch for a team mate.
the 1st to leave the team ever since i joined.
she’s a character who is ever secretive and i really mean REALLY secretive.
wishes her best endeavours in her next job!
p.s Paradise Inn actually serves nice cantonese food. give it a try!
i shared that i realised that tees do tell story.
friday night
feeling super exhausted mentally to do any work
i packed my overflowing wardrobe.
then i found treasures!
tees with love,
tees with memories,
tees with stories.
here’s a very special one
i’ve posted the special few tees on FB so that i can share my stories with frens, schoolmates & colleagues.

tonight i found out that tees tell stories.
does yours tell too?
on such a hot, glaring Saturday aftern, one needs to have 3 basic items.
1. sunblock for the face
2. sunglasses
3. hat!
so i very guai-ly followed the rules and TADAH!
Destination: overseas (JB)
traffic was smooth sailing for a Saturday aftern.
only took us abt 1hr to get through both customs.
1st stop: 大马花园
my fav BBQ seafood stall 59.
the chilli is similar to SG style.
skillful cook and best of all, CHEAP!
this stall has accompanied me since young.
dad used to bring my family to JB almost every weekend to do grocery shopping, patronize stall 59 and etc.
side track a little :: i can remember that me and my brother will be sweeping snacks off the shelves into our shopping trolley.
shiokness!
dad has always been a person who prefer to buy food rather than toys.
but i am lucky..
cuz i managed to get toys everytime my results are within his expectations. =D
back to stall 59, do support them if you are going 大马花园!
this time, we went over to Jb’s Sentosa where The Store dept store is located. lotsa shopping too!
once again, i bought something new..
recently i’ve been shopping too much overseas.
i just somewhere refused to shop in SG.
1. there’s a tendency that you will spot somebody wearing/carrying/using similar stuff.
2. it’s just TOO expensive to shop in SG
as i walked along the road, i spotted something funny.
see if u can get it.
can u get it???
then at the car wash, i bumped into R2D2!!!!
wahahahahaha..
so this is one of the many trips to JB.
always bbq seafood, foot massage, pump petrol, car wash.
sometimes magnum ice cream @ RM3.90 (50% of SG’s price)
sometimes hair wash.
sometimes shopping.
LIFE is SHORT. ENJOY!
pouring cats & dogs this morning.
an OLD tree died & fell.
CTE was empty for a long stretch of road.
cars & humans were injured.
time lost waiting for civil defence to clear the fallen tree.
opportunity cost.
i just thought i’m lacking a pair of PCK boots to suit the weather.
how abt this?
really should have bought a pair of rain boots from HK.
now i kinda miss it.
so today i wear my jello.. cuz it’s ‘waterproof’
not exactly a pre-sequel.
it’s just Sex & the City movie 1.
——————————————————————
another GNO (Girls’ Night Out!) to continue our Sex in & the City movie 1
this time, dinner’s at Popeye Chicken (to satisfy a pregnant woman 1 mth long craving)
dinner was also on me. =)
Sex & the City was @ Yishun.
love their outrageous outfits. haha..
Shall we go Mexico instead?
new words i learnt::
colour = sex/make love
colouring = having sex/making love
come = come
the italian guy “dante” is definitely yummylicious!!
the girls were so sweet!
we cheers to my promotion..
so i also want to ‘dedicate’ the cheer to:
1. Missy Tham & baby
2. all the girls for everything in their lives
<19 – 20 June 2010>
Muar is a itsy bitsy teeny weeny town in Malaysia.
it’s about 2hrs drive from SG.
Uncle bought a semi-D so the entire family travelled to warm up the house. it was definitely bigger than any of those HDB that we stayed in.
anyway, Muar is so tiny that they only have 3 hotels in the city with ONE shopping centre that has only 3 levels.
Thank goodness that i managed to do my manicure & pedicure + 2 pairs of shoes!
the long awaited muar bah kut teh on Sunday morning.
they operated by the roadside.
it was crowded with ppl even though they have 2 shops to themselves.
old school teapot used for, at least 5 yrs?? or more??
one thing i forgot to do, is to snap a pic of the bah kut teh claypot. full of pig stuff from bah kut to intestines to liver to mushrooms to dao kee. it’s missing golden mushroom.
Otak is supposedly to be very famous from Muar.
tried 2 otaks from different sellers.
hmm.. different from our SG ones.
it’s more fish and less spicy.
in short, i didnt really think that it was WOW. (that’s why no photos)
was the 1st roadtrip for my ONG family since a long long time ago.
the last one was abt 20 yrs ago whereby we went on a cruise together.
me lubbbbb..
only S$16 from HK..
i meant Sex in the City movie.. what were you thinking abt?!
tonight = girls’ night out!
been a long long time since we did this.
it was pre-booked abt 3 wks ago. yes my gfs are busy ppl.
so sometimes, i missed those days after sch where we head down to far east just to drink coffee bean / starbucks.
it was an weekly affair.
after watching the movie, i think all gfs want to attain that kind of level. your buddy brings all for a free holiday to somewhere!
able to go on a holiday together with your gfs is pretty rare especially @ my stage in life.
BUT no matter how busy we are, i think it’s still worth to try to organize a holiday just for girls…
SO, girls, where are we going?
Japan?
Taiwan?
New Zealand?
Australia?
or Abu Dhabi?? can we not stay in that 22K USD per night?
hahaha..
looking forward to Sex and the City movie 1 two weeks later 
did i mention i like the character – Samantha Jones?
“on Mondays, i’ll have my yogurt with oreo cookies. Tuesdays are my green tea yogurt days. i’ll leave strawberry and mango toppings for Wednesdays. There’s nothing like avocado and longan toppings to brighten my Thursdays. Thank goodness it’s Friday cos’ it’s the day for almond, bananas and fruity pebbles on my yogurt.” – Sour Sally
Saturdays are meant for pampering yourself in JB such as manicure/pedicure, foot massage & BBQ Seafood!
i’m so broke after HK but i’m so gonna do all the above tml.
Sundays are meant to meet the special ppl in your life such as your parents, your loved ones and your idols.
Super Junior, i’ll be seeing you!
recently experiencing a little too much distraction @ personal life.
some are good.
some are bad.
i need to be very discipline.
so i shall start doing working now.
logging off @ office on a sunday aftern.
what i do at home, on weekends and weekdays?
actually there are a lot of things to be done. such as
- complete outstanding work
- clean up a room all messed up due to 5 working days
- play with little monster
- play cafeworld & hotel city on Facebook
- watch KBS/Gossip Girl/Vampire Diaries/movies-on-demand on mioTV
- watch super junior reality shows, shining inheritance on youtube
other than powerpoint mass production for this week, i have teambuilding & mayday concert to prepare.
TEAMBUILDING
1st, kenna arrowed to be a team lead.
2nd, other teams have 2 team leads. but there’s only 1 for mine.
3rd, i’m paired with 2 middle mgt whom i have no interaction with,at work.
4th, we have to wear a BPL red tee
5th, we are doing amazing race in ORCHARD, dressed in the BPL red tee.
6th, we are almost mistaken as the red shirt party from thailand.
my team – white team has the most ppl in a team.
20 ppl with 1 team lead. i almost fainted.
but among the 20 ppl, there were at least 8 of us who wanted to win the race. we called them ‘fighters’
my partner-in-crime was also a team lead which i’m proud of her.
the best thing is that we were the 1st 2 teams to arrive @ the last station!!
the worst thing is that my poor team ran after them (to catch up @ the 3rd station) and ran away from them (to prevent them from catching up)
BUT the run paid off.
WE WON!!
teambuilding didnt end here.
we were ferried to Tawandang Microbrewery (Thai cuisine) for our ‘dinner & dance’
beer were flowing outta tap.
drank like fish.
danced like there’s no tml.
bottoms up with our chief & ceo. really.
said cheezed with our host, kui jien
he’s cute, isnt he?
but hey, he’s happily married!!
he’s almost a permanent host @ most of our events.
MAYDAY DNA UNLIMITED
honestly i’m confused abt their concert.
the most rara thing is the transformer lookalike robot which they called their own.
other than that, it’s a repeat of the 2009 concert.
before i could watch the concert, i had to fill all the seats with inflatable sticks.
my colleague damn man lor..
soon, it poured like cats and dogs for an hour.
we had to hide under the removable seats and then borrowed poncho to continue cuz running outta time.
10K of inflatable sticks.
8 hands.
4 persons.
this is the most unhappy event i’ve ever done.
not about me distributing the stuff but how the organisers’ treatment to the sponsors.
in fact, mayday shouldnt come every year.
they are spoiling the singaporeans.
one and only fav.
POWERPOINT.
this week is powerpoint production week.
i’m sick of it.
and this is making me missed all my dramas and suju!! arghhhh..
whispers “i heard they might be coming to SG”
*jumps UP & DOWN*
tml’s teambuilding. theme “amazing race” in orchard. WOW.
work in orchard.
teambuilding also in orchard.
exciting hor?!
kenna arrowed to be team lead due to ‘visibility’ sake. DAMN.
ok. powerpoint time.
