Work @ Dallas

Hello everyone! Life's been study, slack, study and work PLUS procrastinate. haha! I'm good at that especially when it comes to blogging and exam periods.

Finished my exams recently and thank God, i managed to quickly find a job with an attractive pay! Working at Boat Quay Dallas Bar & Restaurant and its a very nice place to dine in! I am glad that i can know more about alcohols and western food. plus their "fine dining" at level 2 is comfy max! The food is western fushion and their names are a bitch to remember. Not forgetting their pronunciation. -.-"

I saw a few fascinating things, such as the "sponge" used to wash the glasses. And then i went to 7-11 to buy cigarettes for customers a few times, and i manage to get tipped ones! Although its only $2 worth, but its my first time being tipped! =D And the restaurant plays very nice English songs, including R&B. no more those sleepy Japanese songs. haha.. The whole working style is causal and friendly.

Anyway, thanks R for the job. Now we are finally working together at the same place!

Other working, i've been hooked onto gaming. Allods to be specific. Quest game, somewhat like WOW. and there are great friends with play with. So i'm not bored when i roam around the map.

Shall post random photos of birthday celebrations i have had the past few months when i'm back again!

Updates 2009!

Photobucket
Merry Christmas everyone! I know i have been gone for a month plus and i actually thought of closing this blog down.... BUT! I realize its worth 5 years of memories lehs! Anyway, the above xmas tree is from my grand's house. Every year we will have xmas gathering and we will all stuff our presents underneath.

This tree have been with us for MANY MANY YEARS. And i really mean MANY cause last time the tree was taller than me and now i am taller than it by more than 2 times, i think. haha.As i grow older, it gets taller and skinnier cause the "leaves" always drop off when we move it in and out of the storeroom. And this year, the star is missing! LOL.

Photobucket
This christmas, i had a whole week of celebration, one after another and it feels as though i celebrated TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS. o.O So now i am sitting in my chair blogging because i gave a miss to tonight's night-out. Old liao, cannot take it le. LOL. Got to thank Edwin, Marie and Yingxuan for opening up their house to have the celebrations!

Successfully enrolled myself into SIM-RMIT and the orientation will happen on monday! Kinda excited to start school with Qiu-jie and Rainiee babe. On the other hand, there will be alot of uncertainties too.

Last friday was my last day of work. Officially not part of Far East Org anymore. Not too bad, survived 7months in total. haha! my new dept boss was really very nice and good, too bad can't continue there. Anyway, that makes me job-less now and extra careful with my cashflow. Eh, anyone got extra job lobangs now?! Share lehs.. hehe.

Love Post-It

Ever since i started working, i simply love the idea of Post-Its. And i had imagine working in Post-It company for them. Imagine myself flooded with so many many many colored Post-It! tsk tsk.

Anyway, this is how my desktop look like. And i was a little bored that day so i decided to paste my "Sign Here" post its in this manner so i can easily get them when i need them urgently. LOL.

I actually got quite a number of random photos in my phone. Just that i am always lying in bed and lazy to get up to type. Imagine TYPING TYPING TYPING all day long in the office. Of course when i reach home i just wanna lie in bed and live myself in my tv dramas right?!









Decided to post this up because i saw it on Facebook Links! Enjoy.

Flowers & Strawberry

Photobucket
On the exact date of my birthday, i had to work because it fell on a Wednesday which i think its pointless to take leave that day and still dread going back to work on Thursday. Anyway, i reached the office and saw a gigantic strawberry chair on my table and a bear with folded flowers. With it lies 2 cards, which was not signed with any name. Haha.. after sitting down there to think, i concluded it was from my colleagues. They knew i like strawberries.

Cabana Sunrise Terrace

Did showflat duty last saturday at Cabana Sunrise Terrace. Its a clustered terrace somewhere in Yio Chu Kang and its totally lovely. Apart from the location, everything else seems fine to me. Yet on sat, there were so little walk-ins. Was it the rain?


Let me show you a few pretty photos i got from the web.
Clustered means all terrace built together sharing common facilities. Somewhat like Condominium concept but terrace housing. Seriously, i don't mind sharing lar cause if i buy the unit beside the pool, it will be just outside my balcony!


This terrace house has a basement that consist of 2 parking lot of your own, guest room, toilet and another room that i think its used for drying your clothes. Ye know, heater room or something? Totally no need to fight for the sun. And then it is 3 storey high plus a rooftop!! MELTS! Rooftop jacuzzi sounds good, right?

Iyah.. say so much also no money to buy. Only can dream and drool on it.

Record Breaking

If you know me, i don't really like coffee, as compared to Tea. But after being in this office environment for 1 month plus, i have started the coffee culture.

No lah, I don't drink it everyday.

BUT TODAY I DRANK 2 CUPS. and thats not the end, i also drank another Teh Tarik over lunch. I am starting to feel that my teeth is turning yellow............ =/


Anyway, it wasn't as if i was tired. I was actually too busy to doze off. Every day OT to finish the monthly report. Its a good thing, time pass quickly and you realise everyone is saying "bye" to you. It goes to the extend that whatever paperwork can be held, are now all on hold.

Shall be back for more.....!

3D: Ice Age III


I didn't catch Ice Age 1 and 2 before but i decided to give this a try in the 3D cinema, wearing that red/blue spectacles.

It was a little uncomfortable at the beginning but got use to it eventually. I think the side of the spectacles were too thick - might be the reason for the discomfort.

The show was funny. But not as funny as Night at the Musuem 1 & 2. The laughing elements for ice age doesn't linger in your mind after the movie thus the joke lifespan is quite short for me.

Overall, i just find the characters cute. Thats all.

This are some of the pictures that i think its really cute.




Anyway, i know i have been blogging about moviessssss and not my social activities. haha! I still very sociable one ok! I work, go out and also CHECKING OUT my SOON-TO-BE iphone 3GS. *Blinks* hopes to hear *Kachang Kachang* soon. hehe.

Have got so much work to do till i am bring them home. Really don't like the feeling to struggle in the office with the all the paperworks and only have time for my own work in later afternoon. Maybe my working speed is just too slow?? *shrugs*

And after the hard day of work, i don't like to be distub and i don't like to answer questions. Answering so much things in the day has already killed all my braincells. I just want a simple dinner where i listen and get the relevant attentions. Please don't add on to the burden in my mind.

Property Sales Party

Got to attend a company party last night at Heaven's Loft in Orchard Central. I couldn't find their photo but they have Ben & Jerry's ice cream inside and a very nice deck to chill and have a glass of wine.

Anyway, i set foot in Heaven's loft with expected 200 staff and in one glance, i only saw GUYS. Seriously flooded with guys wearing the same pants and white shirt. haha.. They are Property Sales people and this party is hosted to THANK them. Of course they did a good job and brought in tons of sales for the company lar!

Anyway, buffet style.. free flow of red & white wine plus beer and free flow of B&J ice cream. OMG! It was totally a PARTY cause we book the whole place and i was at the deck and it was all people that we know, plus food...... ice cream........ alcohol......... and hunks. =x (you see where i'm going?)

I saw quite a number colleagues who had their different sides. Really surprised me... They were totally mei xin xiang and grooving to the music! LOL.

Left the party when the crowd disperse at 11pm. Manage to take a MRT home and totally felt worn out!

Have been telling myself to work on my blogskin but work's been so hectic! But i do have someone i want to thank so much!! He made this blogskin possible...... and i know he is secretly reading! haha.. Thanks Girard!

Ghosts of girlfriends past


As the title suggest, i caught this last saturday after a 18hours sleep marathon.. Then i had another 12hours of sleep marathon on saturday night till sunday night before i attended my cousin's wedding dinner at Novetel Hotel.

I was actually looking forward to this show but it wasn't as good as i thought it would be. Abit of a disappointment to me. But the storyline pretty much goes like "5 people you meet in heaven" and some scenes were really funny. Especially the condoms raining down. HAHA!

guys...... how many will yours rain? Hmmm.

This week work will be of a slower pace because the 2 big meetings are held thurs and fri. Boss won't be around and i get to do my stuffs instead of admin work. Thats good, or i will be rushing like mad at the end...

I've uploaded the wedding photos on FB. Will see if i get the chance to blog it out here. =)

Banned from Casinos

After a week of work and on a friendly wednesday night i met up with the vball co. at bala's place to play taboo and another new game (forgot whats the name but some gold diggers game)... On friday night, i found myself slamming into bed for a 18hours sleep. YEA.. i can really sleep. Was real tired man..

I sat in my boss's SLK yesterday cause we went to the hospital to visit da-jie cause she gave birth to a baby boy on Thursday.. on man, he is such a sweetie. He kept smiling and was so quiet. he had dimples too.. so sweet.

Anyway, i have decided to share this article.. find it really good that they are taking such precautions..


SINCE April, when families can start applying to have their loved ones barred from casinos here, close to 80 people have made enquiries about such family exclusion orders.

Of this number, 14 families have gone on to the next stage towards getting the gambler in their family banned from gaming tables, the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) said on Friday afternoon.

Most of these 14 gamblers are Chinese males, aged between 30 and 60-years-old and have 'O' levels or higher education.

However, it will be still some way to go before any family exclusion order is issued. These 14 families have to submit a formal application to the council, go through a hearing session chaired by a NCPG member before such orders are issued.

These orders are part of the social safeguards to ensure that the casinos opening do not lead to more gambling problems.

To apply for a family exclusion order, you have to go in person to the Tanjong Pagar Family Service Centre located at #03-06 Central Plaza, 298 Tiong Bahru Road.




Its a good move!

Mental Exhaustion

Some of you might not know where i'm working right?
Lemme see, some organisation that really has a big reputation. And the boss up there is a millionaire in singapore which i haven met him or his son before.. but they are old lar.

Anyway, started work on monday. Very nice ENVIRONMENT (i emphasize only environment) to work with and my colleagues are real nice. Though i hope for some young handsome guy walking around for me to go gaga, but unfortunely there isn't.

I hate standing all the way to work and have my feet plastered. Thank god the shoe kinda expanded already, so its now the height thats killing my soles. My boss and colleague (Lets name her Cheeky in future ok?) speaks branded, efficiency and initiative. Cheeky cause i think she's very fun and always smiling being cheeky about stuff yet shes pretty.. Lets name the lady i am taking over as da-jie because she is the same age as my sis, she reminds me of her cause the way they speak and of course she looks after me. Btw, da-jie is going on maternaty leave so that means next monday i'm all alone already.

My job scope is pretty small but i have lots of things to do and learn this week. I am feeling the stress because monday i have alot of things to do and i am still not use to it. I am always afraid i will miss out on something, be it To-Do-List or "Powerpoint slides information".... Arghs. I do simple ppt and excel files yet i have to be careful cause i deal with figures. I have to check my email every 10mins or so and follow up and file them to folders in outlook. Worst still, i have to file MINE and HERs cos they will CC both of us. Things are pretty to handle this week, but i am not sure about next week. Currently i am already starting to note down the things i have to do. I hope i don't screw things up and get screwed. =/

On saturday, i did something extra out of my job scope. I went to help and earn extra cash by going to a launch of our showroom. Very nice experience although abit boring but i saw RICH people and a few good looking man.. anyway, its just a 4hours shift. Cheeky was there to accompany me too.

Anyway, shall enroll RMIT soon.



After 5 days of constant learning or maybe after a day of painful soles, i really don't like the idea of having to argue with someone. I know i have a choice to not argue but yet, when someone is special, you want to explain things. So anyway, its a friday night. I am tired from work. After hearing the news, i become even more sian diao. Took the effort to WANT TO make up for what i will be losing but yet i have to spend a half hr argueing on an issue that has already happened alot of times. ARGHS, can you feel me? Its the agony. I REALLY could have gone home.
