time flies

I saw Vivien at the lrt station. what a coincidence! it had been 3 years since i last saw her, even though we stayed just a few blocks away from each other, i hardly see her at all. i used to assist her when i worked at motorola during the year 2004 before admission to NUS. we had quite a good chat during the journey in the train. hmm, time really flies - i'm now graduating soon; she just had a baby and she's still working at motorola.. haha


rwm started yesterday... different kids now but the same old volunteers.. xinhui was asking me if i'll still be going rwm once i start work.. of course i will, unless i need to work on saturdays..

exciting/stressful week

20 jan - met ying, shuhui, huili, huifen for dinner.. it has been ages since the 5 of us gather for a dinner, especially when ying is always sooooooo busy. indeed women are fickle minded creatures.. because we changed our mind from having dinner at bugis to esplanade, isn't it funny?! we were waiting for our turn to enter Ajitei Japanese restuarant, when ying suddenly mentioned about Ichiban Boshi... that's what changes our eating venue.. very fast right? that night was the day that ying decided to reveal the truth about her love life (after our interrogation)... haha

22 jan - after our CF lecture, val, dora, jill n i hopped onto jess's car and headed for the minds cafe. tuesday is ladies night, foc for the games.. the games there are quite fun.. other tables were like screaming on top of their voices, i wonder what game were they playing. is it that exciting? haha.. =)

tutorial starts this week.. all tutorials are super duper stressful!!! WHY??? is it because is level 3000 modules???

rwm starting on this saturday.. hope to see you guys again.. i think rwm is the only time we can meet each other, especially somemone owes me $$$ since last year.. now is the time for me to get my $$$ back!!!

gatherings

11 Jan was serena's last day of work @ slb. she decided to meet me together with my cousin for a dinner. end up it was treat from her! thanks. It was raining heavily but it did not dampen our spirits... we were suppose to go PS but ended up at SK.. but still we did have a great dinner together.. ate at wasabi japanese restaurant since sakae sushi was having such a long queue.. we ate and talk for almost 2 hours plus. in the end i realised that when my cousin got home, she had a scolding from her mum for coming home so late, it was only 10pm when she reached home (cos she needs to work the next day).. haiz... parents ah.. Serena! i'll be waiting for your call when u return back from China!

My other plans for the rest of this week:
20 Jan - meet my close jc friends for dinner steamboat
23 Jan - go minds cafe with nus friends


Happy birthday to shangmay! best wishes to you =)

thank you

i've left... and school has started.. kind of miss the life working as temp @ slb, but life has to move on..i've got to say thanks to those who have helped me enjoy my 3 months working there.
thanks to angie(lao lao) for giving me a chance to come back to work during dec holidays!
thanks to bert(dong chong cao) for all your wonderful & expensive lunch treat, you are definitely a great boss!
thanks to serena & shirley for being such wonderful friends.. especially during the meeting at the hotel, i can feel so strongly the motherly care and concern both of you gave me.hope that both of you will find a better working environment and not in a "niao bu sheng dan" place like changi again.
and
thanks to some other staff working there, though there's a few who i feel utterly disgusted with..=)

A pity that serena had deleted the photo which we took together..

happy new year

Hi folks, Happy New Year!!! It is year 2007... a new beginning for all of us, let the bad memories fade away and bring along the good memories to this New Year.

Glad that the outing i planned is successful... xinhui, jiahui, shangmay, jane, yaohui and i finally met on 27th Dec! Yes!!! Sebas is missing from this outing cos he is always so bussssssy... (anyway outing without him is still fun. haha..)
we did not go to mind cafe instead we went to eat steamboat, which xinhui suggested. We had steamboat at RajaInn which was located in Tiong Bahru Plaza. Buffet and ala carte are not worth the money so we chose steamboat set for each of us. jiahui, xinhui & i chose the tomyam for the steamboat soup, while yaohui chose chicken soup. The 4 of us were sitting at a 6-seater table, cos jane and shangmay will only join us for a while. And so we ordered 4 sets and supposedly to have only 4 bowls of rice but end up they serve us 6 bowls.. so the 2 extra bowls of rice can be considered free.. haha. the tom yam is too hot and spicy for me so i ate up my rice quite quickly and of course I took another half bowl of rice. the remaining half bowl of rice is finished up by yaohui. with 1 bowl of rice left untouched, we ordered a plate of slice fish to go with the last bowl of rice. comparing with what we had each, jiahui & xinhui each ate only 1 bowl of rice, while I finished up 1.5 bowl + 1 mouthful of rice and yaohui ate 2.5 bowl minus 1 mouthful of rice.. haha However the ingredient for the steamboat does not have many variety but it still mange to fill up our stomach, overall the soup is not too bad. xinhui decided to treat us and refuse to let us pay.. soooo jiahui & I had to resort to tucking $$$ into her bag secretly.. haha I managed to do it successfully but in the end xinhui saw the $$$ in her bag when she went to Guardian to buy something. we went shopping around tiong bahru plaza for a while ( it's my first time there) then after that we made our way home together. We had a great chat in the train and the next outing was...... steamboat at jiahui's house!!! Yeah!!!

The days are ending and school is starting soon.. i'm sure i will miss the days working in schlumberger. angie gave her approval to let my cousin replace me after i left.. glad that I helped my cousin to find a job since she had already gone for 15 interviews and yet not one is successful .. hope she will enjoy working there as temp girl. =)

Cheers to everyone!
