( - ) Negative Updates...

There’s not much positive stuffs happening around me therefore the lack of update. Rants below:

-Work SUCKS BIG time! Can’t wait for the day to come when I’ll throw the resignation letter in their face ;p
- School will soon be packed with projects and tests . It certainly doesn’t help to have a super kiasu/straight As/negative thinking classmate in my group. But, maybe her kiasuism will be a good influence to me?!?
- GSS is here but my bank accounts forbids me to drought it further.

Meeting the gals this Wed!! Cant wait to gorge and rant!

K-razy

I can't wait to go home and watch The Foxy Lady!!!

The lead, Chun Jeong-Myung is so cute...

With Be Strong, Geum-Soon! And Smile Again on the my watch list, I’ll be having Korean dramas marathons soon these few weeks...

I can live without chilli!!

Wow, it has been 2 weeks since I last touched those red hot stuff. My beautician told me to keep them away from my plate to “test” if chillies are affecting my bad complexion. Though I’m not very sure if it's helping, it seems like my complexion are “seeing some light at the end of the tunnel” keke. Fingers crossed!!!

School has officially started last week - 3 modules for this term. For the 1st time in my entire life, I enjoyed my lesson, 1 particular module that is – Consumer Behaviour. The lecturer rocks!!! He’s so interesting and despite ending the lessons slightly later after10pm, I don’t have the “stop talking and end the lesson” feeling. Respect. Unfortunately, we do have 1 uninteresting lecturer for organisational development :(

Class of 29 pax and lets hope that they’ll be a fun bunch of people to have fun + mugging our books together ;p

The Phantom is Back!

Despite watching it in London back in 2004, I knew I had to get the tickets when adverts splashed across the newspaper in around Oct last year. Using Mummy’s DBS card, we got the supposedly last show - 15th Apr during the priority booking period. I was so excited with the fact that we got Cat 1, middle seats + “last show” tickets. Who knows.... Due to GOOD response, the show was extended to 20th May!!! Anyway, when we bought the tickets last year, Apr seemed like a long time from then. However, time passed by fairly quickly and soon I found myself reminding my always the busy Sis on our “date”.

As her Bday was the next day, the plan was to treat her something nice. Her choice – Areins @ City Hall. Well...she claims that the food did not taste as nice as before, but luckily the apple pie dessert saved the day.

After dinner, we walked to the Esplanade for the much anticipated sold out show. Anyway I suck in writing, therefore, here’s how I’ll describe the show = good seats (smack in the middle column, row P), grand setting, great voice, live band, the Phanthom = definitely worth $135.00!

What’s missing was the courage to stand up to give them a standing ovation. Blame the barang barang on my hand (shawl & clutch)

How are you?

Have you ever had a time when a friend, ex-classmate, ex- teacher etc comes into you mind suddenly and you wonder how’s he/she doing now? Are they married? How’s their working life? Or simply, if they’re doing fine....

Well, I do have a few in mind and perhaps someday, somewhere, I’ll bump into them in this small city. And when the time comes, I’ll give a sincere smile and acknowledge their presence because they’re those who have crossed my mind.

Cupcakes gifts

Ordered 3 boxes cupcakes for a friend who has been real nice to help buy some apparels with huge discount! So far, Sis and I have saved about $250 in all.

However, I was quite disappointed on how small the cupcakes were in real. Anyway, the measurements were stated on the price list, just that I did not really bother about it when ordered. Hope they like these pretty cupcakes!!

Korean Food - craving satisfied

Mummy decided that since I was the one who has craving for (Crystal Jade) Korean food, I should be the one who foot the bill. Okieee…. What more can I say…

We ordered ala carte dishes this time and I think it was too much for us 3 ladies to finish it. Nevertheless I still went ahead to order one bowl of white rice to “go” with the kimchi (to Mummy’s dismay)!! Hahaha

I’ll let the pics to the talking...

. my fav kimchi . seafood pancake . beef .

. bibimbap . saba fish . free side dishes .

Metamorphosis Dinner & Dance - 23 March

It's lucky that I've got a new dress at home, which fits the theme for this year D&D - Metamorphosis.

Mummy did some stitching to the front which made feel more comfortable wearing it coz without it, it was way too revealing even with the help of Hollywood secret’s tape.

We were given time off at 3.30pm to prepare for the dinner. Though there were many discussions on whether I should head to the professionals to do my hair and makeup, I ended up doing it on my own (with Mummy's turquoise/gold clip & Sis's loose powder + eyeshadow).

Journey there was silly - I ended walking from Lucky Plaza to Meritus Mandarin. Upon reaching, the photographer got me, Ghaya and her cousin to take a group photo (with my shawl on)... I thought to myself "aiyah wasted lah... my dress so nice, covered by the shawl leh". Haha, after which we went to to have our Metamorphoto taken (smth like a professional photo-shoot with backdrop) and a butterfly crystal tattoo! While mingling around, the photographer came and requested to take a solo picture of me as he thinks the dress fits the theme and it’s colorful *blush*

The food served was not very nice and even though the special guest was really PCK, it's not that entertaining as they incorporate the "story" of us being bought over by the new company in their skit. Oh and there's this best dressed award - there were 3 couples who wore really costume (think Victorian dress, green costume which looks like a broccoli and a butterfly like dress) and 4 other individuals who participated... But I was not called up leh.... Haha, not that I'm thicked skin but I think my dress is really nicer + fits the theme more :p (even my colleagues said so).



Won a $100 Tangs voucher which was considered really lucky as there were about 500 plus people around that night ; ) One regret for the night was that I did not stay on for photo taking with the man - Pua Chu Kang aka Gurmit Singh : (

Last Minute lah!!!

Accounting paper is tomorrow and I’ve not even started on the revision...Have decided to forgo the question on P&L and Balance Sheet. Will choose 4 other questions...

Red Bull and Chicken essence = burn midnight oil!

Wish me luck!!!!!

Waiting for "Freedom"

I can't wait for April to come coz that will be my study break month before I go full force starting May for my official BCom studies!

But before that, I'll need to conquer my F&B operations and Biz Accounting, which will be held next Thur and Sat. Speaking of which, I've not started revising for it though plans have been made to go to the library on Sat to do research for the F&B operations. Will my balance sheet balance? I'm keeping my fingers cross…

Oh yah... and good news!!! My most feared subject - Biz Statistics = A+, Marketing Management = B ; )

For today's D&D, I've been refraining from a lot of food, which is a real torture since this is the time of the month that my cravings are like crazy. I can’t wait to get my hands on nasi briyani, muruku, Superdog, ramen and korean food!!!!!

Care

Daddy went for another operation yesterday @ SGH. Plans to visit him was cancelled again as he told Mummy that Sis and I need not go since he's fine already.

Anyway, he was out from the intensive ward today and transferred to a private ward. Perhaps, it's PMS @ work, which led me to being emotional, I dropped him an SMS asking if he's fine. He replied he's fine and that Mummy is with him. Replied him with "Okie, see you at home tmr"

I hope his wound is not hurting anymore and that he's really feeling fine : )

Too Bored In Office

For the month of March and Apr

Crude - I'm not...

Okie, I think the following conversation is quite crude but funny in a way too:
I was drinking strawberry yogurt when 1 Ops Manager saw it. He's one who's always crapping with us and we'll always buy tea break for him.

he: what're you drinking?
me: there's none for you...
he; where did you get that from?
janice: from the toilet
he: oh, then it must be yellow color
me: no.... it's pink
he: ......too stunned for words
janice: laughing away

It was a few seconds later then I realized what's wrong (drink from toilet, and pink in color = something quite gross)

me: shit!!! I don’t mean that...

Told him that I'm too embarrassed to face him and that I don’t mean it that way.

he: I’ve never linked it to anything. It's you gals who have the crooked mind.

. the PINK drink .

I know our conversation is sooo crappy and has no added value... :p

Lunar New Year 07 (zhu ni xing nian kuai le)

Nothing much to write about this CNY despite having 1 week of "holiday" as I had to revise for my bridging exam. The difference between this year's CNY was that we did not have steamboat for both reunion and the 2nd day as Mum thinks its too tiring to do so. Therefore, we broke the tradition this year :(

Anyway, we catered in food on the 2nd day, which was pretty good. And it's true what when you get older, CNY is more like giving oneself a break and gorge in those CNY lunches, dinner, lo hei and lots of snacks ; )

Don't Play Play ah...

Got back my bridging results:
Biz Law - C
Tourism Sys - B

Heard that someone got A+ for Biz law and maybe Tourism sys too!! Best!
Hopefully this pressure from the classmates will spur me to do better during the next 1.5 years.

Anyway Biz Statistics on last Friday was manageable, marketing management on Sun was okie, hopefully can get a B as the tips the lecturer gave was not very accurate ( - . - )

Its time for D&D!

Dinner & Dance is in March. Theme is Metamorphosis.
I do have a dress, which fits the theme but its super low cut. Anyway, will make a decision when the time is nearing.

Teasers (yellow boots and mole) on the special guest appearance makes it seems like it'll be


If it is, I bet it'll be damn entertaining.

Scarley, its his contractor (the round round guy)... :p

Ooo the round round guy is in our office now and he just spoke to me: Mamm, do you have scotch tape?? hahaha anyway, I'm just crapping...

How Suay...

Forgetting that I've already had a new bottle of Marmite back home. I bought another bottle of it last Thursday.

Though I managed to exchange it for the Jap salad sauce @ NTUC (even got the $0.10 difference), the bottle slipped out of the plastic bag and broke into pieces when I stepped out of NTUC.

So there goes my Marmite…if only I did not bring it for an exchange;
My salad sauce…if only I had held onto the bag properly;
My $3.70…if only I had checked 1st before buying the 2nd bottle of Marmite.

The buttterflies are out...

It’s 5 hours before my Business Statistics test and the butterflies are out in my stomach.

However, it does not feel as nice as how the picture looks : /

BKK Trip (21st-22nd Dec 06)

Ok, super duper late post....

The long awaited trip to BKK began on 21st Dec. Departing with Tiger Airways @ the Budget Terminal was an experience. You'll only see 1 restaurant - HANS at the terminal. However, after going through the departure gates, you'll find Polar, Genki Sushi, O'Briens, Killiney. As Tiger Airways do not allocate seats before hand, it's a 1st come 1st serve basis. Typical Singaporeans rushed in when the boarding gates open. We kept it cool and boarded the plane last, as we did not want stand in the queue for like 15 mins?

. boarding the plane in the traditional way .

1st day
- Check in
- Proceeded to Erawan Shrine (can't pray that day)
- Walked over to Central World
- Bought Naraya products & Mister Donut
- Went to Food Hall aka supermarket to rest and eat
- Bought 3 bottles of mini body spritz
- Went back to "hotel"
- Met up with Mummy's friend for seafood dinner. The journey took 1 hour plus *faintz* but the many dishes made up to the long journey.

2nd day
- Platinum Mall with Loiusa and others
- Shopped till I dropped (6 hrs)
- Getting a cab to drive us back was crazy as no taxi wants to take us due to our hotel location and some do not want to go by meter.
- Head back for dinner

As the Malaysians were also there this time round, it was like a family gathering (though we're not related to them). Dinner was 2 big round table filled with home cooked food everyday (tom yum goong, chicken, fish, vege, pork, salad, wine, fruits etc). With the good weather and good company, it was a heartwarming dinner in the open space. Plus, food was never ending there.

. bread sold along the streets (simple yet nice) . small you tiao .
. salad sauce . pad thai .

3rd day
- More shopping at MBK, Bonaza Mall
- Bought so much loots to satisfy my cravings of spending $$
- Went back for dinner again
- Went for a "tour" around BKK. The driver drove us around to have a look of the X'mas lighting of those shopping malls.
- Stopped at the Palace (where the very much respected King lives). With all the lights, the palace is practically "glowing" - Nice!!

. palace .

4th day
- Breakfast at Siam Paragon
- Love the Food Hall (imagine choc fondues, mini sashimi bar, salad bar + so much more in the Supermarket)

. choc fondue in the supermarket .

. nice boxes . foodcourt .

- Lunch was @ Fuji which serves Japanese food at quite low prices.
- Prayed @ Erawan Shrine
- Back for dinner

Siam Paragon - high end boutiques, restaurants with nice interior decoration, good-looking people). In short - a place for the atas

5th day
- Breakfast followed by packing up
- Met up with a chief monk and received blessing from him. However, I missed the chance of getting advises from him as he went for a short nap before I had the chance to speak to him. Next time, perhaps.
- Off the airport
- 9pm Home Sweet Home
