1 week past since my 1st day of new job. Time flies...
Went to try the food for our wedding banquet on Sunday. The food are nice and in big portion. Had a super hefty lunch. I just wish its as nice and big portion on the actual day. All the dishes are ok, except for the shark fins soup which Mum and MLW commented that it tasted weird with enaki mushroom. And so we requested to change to crabmeat on the actual day. I like the chicken in yam basket the most. Yum yum... I don't think I'll get to eat that on the actual day coz I guess I should be busy changing or going table-to-table for photo taking.
Had my facial session yesterday and Corren (person who helped me do the facial) confided to me that she and her bf had a tiff and broke off. But I see that she had been very strong and took the whole thing in stride. Dog year hasnt been a good year. See lotsa couples breaking-off. Hope the piggy year will be a good one.
Oink oink...

Booooring orientation
It was a boring day, boring orientation.
The whole day, we were sitting in the conference room, seeing various different people coming in to address us on various different topics - security, quality, safety, etc. Zzz... Boring. I basically dozed thru after the lunch break. It was worst than sitting in the office with no work to do; you know, at least in the office you can surf net.
Doh......

New year, new job
Been so long since I last updated my blog.
OK, so its now year 2007 and I'm already in my new job. Before I leave my previous company, lotsa colleagues are like congratulating me for leaving the company for good. And so during my last day on 5-Jan, my CS colleagues said that I must be very happy coz its my last day. But truely speaking, I didn't feel happy and neither did I feel sad. I didnt have any last day feeling. Maybe because the following weekday, which is Monday, I still gotta work. Just that its a different environment. Think the only person who's moody that I leave is my supervisor. Ya.. Coz she needa find a new person to take over me and she has to train my replacement from scratch. Aww... Anyway, I requested for a testimonial and she said its no longer in-fashion so she didnt gave me one. WTF... She might as well reject me and tell me straight that she doesnt have time to write me one.
My new work environment is good. Colleagues are mostly around my age. See lotsa people coming to work late but its ok coz we dun clock in and out. Have proper work training and a full day orientation which I have to attend tomorrow. And I joined their kickboxing class which commence tomorrow as well; 50 bucks for 10 lessons, its cheap like shit.
In the office now, so bored... Still in my "honeymoon" period; waiting for people to teach and handover work stuffs. Luckily there's msn to keep me occupied talking to my frenz. If not I'll be bored to tears. =D

X'mas season, rainy season
X'mas is just 6 days away and I havent done my x'mas shopping. I'm left with today and tomorrow to shop for gifts for my colleagues coz we don’t have to work on 22-Dec. Today I have my facial appointment and I'm left with only tomorrow to do my shopping. Gosh...
Oh ya... This Saturday we have a flea market stall around Cineleisure, commonly known as the Lime flea market. Do come and have a walk if you're free. We'll be selling stuffs like bags, keychains, necklace, handphone accessories, etc. I just hope it wont rain cats and dogs like these few days. *Fingers crossed*

Guangzhou trip
I wanted to post my blog for the Guangzhou trip on Saturday. And so I was typing happily on Saturday night and while uploading some pics, it prompts me internet connection error and the things I wrote were gone. WTF...
Anyway, the GZ trip was quite tiring coz dar and me didn’t went there for fun and holiday - but for a "mission". I practically felt like a typical China-man over there with our main mode of transportation by "kar". Yes, I didn’t spell the "kar" wrongly. "Kar" as in legs in hokkien, not those 4 wheel vehicle cars T_T Well, not that we wanna torture ourselves la, but the places that we wanted to go are mostly within walking distances from our hotel. Its like taking a cab at Raffles City and ask the taxi uncle to go to Bugis, no point right?
Accommodation wise, we lived in a 3 stars hotel which dar's friend had helped us booked earlier. The hotel room was very spacious with a mini hall, same as any other hotel only that they didn’t have a fridge. And our room view was facing a river. Yes, the picture you see below is our hotel room view. And part of my daily routine when I wake up is to open the window to check out if its cold outside and dress appropriately.
Have you heard before fruit steamboat? Sounds innovative huh? We had fruit steamboat for 1 of our dinner. No, no... Its not dipping fruits into the steamboat in replacement to the meat and vege. It’s only the soup that's just make up with fruits. Ya... You can see from the picture, there's a plate of meat, prawns, vege, etc. that comes together with this steamboat set which we ordered. And inside the steamboat soup there's apple, lemongrass and some clueless-leaves. They even took out a fresh coconut and poured the juice in. I was like "ewww... Can our stomach take such weird combination?"
Anyway, the soup turned out to be very nice and sweet after we throw in and boil our meat and vege. Tasted like tom yam soup without the spicy part. Ya... And as expected, after the meal, dar and me were shopping halfway, had stomache and rush back to hotel toilet to "bomb". The steamboat was too "nutritious" I guess X_X
Dar and me went to the K-Box during our last night at GZ. Wah kao... Their K-Box lighting and deco outside the KTV room is like our disco. Its like, so dark. Even the toilet is dark. The only light you see in the toilet is the luminous blue light shining at the toilet bowl and basin. I saw the toilet cleaner holding the dustpan and I wonder if she can see what she is sweeping or cleaning in the toilet -_-|||
I'm amazed by their mike hygiene which I don't get to see in Singapore - they cover the head of the mike with a black cover sheet. I had stripped the cover so you can see better in the pic. Anyway, who knows if they change that sheet cover right...? Maybe that's the reason why they use black colour so as to camou any yellowish stains that's left behind from evaporated saliva from previous patrons. X_X
Well, all in all, it’s an eye-opening trip. Get to see lotsa business opportunities and lotsa things which we don’t get to see in urban Singapore.
Oh ya, I must mention about our Singaporean "spirit" on the trip back to Singapore. Dar and me were sitting around the gate waiting for boarding at GZ airport back to Singapore. And then we saw a guy wearing a NUS jacket placing his bag and stood in front of the gate-counter. A few minutes later an old aunty pulled her bag and placed hers behind this guy's bag and walked away. Then another few minutes later, another aunty joined her bag in the queue too. And it goes on and on until the bag queue almost crossed the other side of the boarding gate and had to make a "L" turn. -_-||| I'm proud of Singaporeans' orderly spirit. But I'm ashamed about Singaporeans' kiasu-ism mindset. *Salute*

Sickly weekend
It’s a sickly weekend.
Was down with fever, nose block and sore throat on Saturday evening after attending dar's campmate's wedding banquet. Took dar's flu tablet on the very night. Sunday morning my whole body was feeling so lethargic and felt like my head suddenly weigh tons; I had to rest in bed most of the time.
Anyway, feeling better today, headache gone. But sore throat and nose block are still there T_T

When...
When smiles become frowns,
When bubbly becomes quiet,
When cheerfulness becomes stonefulness
When optimistic becomes pessimistic,
When liveliness becomes lassitude,
When a pair of bright eyes becomes lifeless,
When tears no longer flow,
When the spirit leaves the soul.
When I see the change in me,
When you see a different me,
When I want back my original self,
And I realise it ain't that easy.

PSLE results are out
PSLE results are out !
Ya... I know its none of my business but I've got quite a number of colleagues' children under this batch mah. Moreover this is the lunch topic for yesterday and morning topic for today in office...
Most of my colleagues are having headache for the choice of secondary school, which I think, is not really so exactly important ba. Ya... I know all parents want the best for their children. But I feel that the name of the seconday school a child get into, is more like a branding which speaks for where they stand in their PSLE. Coz in my opinion, so what if the child enter into a so-so secondary? What's more important is the child's intelligence and diligence when they enter into the next education phase. Just my 2 cents worth. Afterall, employers look at results, not really at branding *Shrugz*. Well, I am a good example. I got into a lousy secondary school but I scored fairly well in my 'O' levels. Bleah... =þ

Even fortune teller ask me to change
For the 1st time in my whole life, I went to a fortune teller to have my palmistry read last Sat
Well, the fortune teller was quite accurate in what she says. And after that visit, I guess its time I should change. Ya... Change. By not bottling things to myself and opening my window to others. Ermm... Easier said than done coz its like I've been kinda introverted for the past quarter-century *shrugz*.
Well, to those who knows me well, I'm actually quite crazy and crappy. Yes, this is the other side of me. That fortune teller says inside of me is an extremely warm nature (re qin) but sadly I appear cold outside. Warm nature... When she said that I was cheekily imagining myself saying hi and hugging everyone in the office or when I see friends outside. Eww... Sounds and looks flirty?

Irritating fringe
My fringe is getting longer and poking my eyes. Argh... Irritating. And its gathering pimples on my forehead as well. Grr... Gotta ta han. Must wait for it to be long enough to hook behind my ears. Which is... a few more weeks? Sigh... Now all I can do is clip them up when I'm at work so it won't hinders my vision. Cut it? Then I have to keep maintaining that short length coz the same problem will repeat again. Sigh...

JB weight gaining trip
Went to JB with dar on Sat for dinner, spent less than SG$40 for a hearty and high cholestrol meal =S *Sinful* Had butter clayfish, cereal prawns, kailan, mee goreng, gyoza (10 pcs), ice kacang and a super big cup sugarcane juice. Yea... Just the 2 of us. Power right? You wouldn't want to imagine the "power" we acumulated in our stomach. Feels like carebear who can shoot out their power from their stomach anytime, you know, rainbow lah, hearts lah, stars lah... we shoot out nothing, but an extremely bloated tummy and the belly button -_-||| And the pathetic part is we actually planned to walk across the causeway back to Singapore to help us digest and burn faster, but we ended up taking the bus instead. Sigh... hopeless. Putting on weight again.

Cloak of invisibility?! Cool~
Saw this interested article from Yahoo News which I find it so cool. Scientists create cloak of invisibility
Can you imagine if the scientists really successfully invent the cloak that makes an item totally invisible? Woo... I can visualize lotsa invisible people walking around, see flying objects anywhere, magicians everywhere performing now-you-see-it-now-you-don't, get bumped/slapped/beaten up without knowing who's the culprit, suddenly find your sis/bro missing for a few weeks only to realise they've been in the house all the while... Well if there's no law enforcement, criminal rates will definitely shoot up.
One of the handy use I think of is travelling on a coach. You know, when we go travelling especially on a coach for long ulu distances with few stops. We can use the cloak to make ourselves invisible and pee or shit right in front of the other passengers without having to eudure till we can feel the bladder ballooning and bursting or leaking anytime. I just hope the cloak makes the smell invisble too. If not the whole coach will start covering their nose and frown to the sudden shitty stink, thinking they are passing by a dung processing factory...
Anyway, I think it'll take another few more years to create a cloak of total invisibility la... And I think even if its succesful, it'll be purely for scientific use bah...

Holiday ends so fast
Had been eating a lot over the long weekend. *Rubs her bulging tummy* OMG... Feels like I had put on 4 kg over the 4 days -_-|||
Well, this long weekend is really a recuperation-from-work period for me. Most of the time I'm eating, resting or roaming. Err... Does it resembles a pig's lifestyle? And I think if I go on this way for a few months, I will grow to look like a pig as well - lazy, slouchy and fleshy. Anyway, holiday is over and here I am sitting in front of my workdesk again. What have I got to say? Well... Think some of you might have guessed it right: Works sucks!
Counting down to the next holiday, which is in December. Gosh... Exactly 1 month...
December = holiday month = bonus month
Looking forward to it. Ho ho ho~ $_$

Hazy dayz
Feels like I'm in Genting whenever I open up my eyes and look out of the window in the morning nowadays. Well... OK... So that is not the cooling misty clouds we enjoy in Genting, but polluted haze that is coming from our neighbouring country. Eh-heh, Eh-heh (cough)... The haze is occassionally so bad that its blocking the sun ray; so much so that 7pm, which is supposedly to be a bit bright, looks like 8pm at night.
Take care everybody... Maybe should start buying some masks to stock up if our neighbour still don't do anything to it. But I guess Singaporeans won't put on mask unless the government says so. You know lah, Singaporeans ah... very obedient one... Even if the haze is so bad that you can only see 100 metres ahead, government never say anything, we would presume that its still safe to go out with our naked nostrils. In my opinion, Singaporeans are just too reliant on the government.
Oh yeah... 3 more working days and it’s the long weekend. Woohoo~

Cleared my work mess
Yes! I had managed to find and spend some time to do my filing and clear my messy workdesk. Yea... See the before and after? Great difference huh? Still left this big pile in the after pic to sort and file. Phew... Its so much neater now compared to the hell of mess earlier.
Counting down to Deepavali and Hari Raya holiday. Argh... Around 1 and a half more week. So near yet so far...
