Date settled.

Matters to be followed up:
1. To choose wedding band.
2. To get into shape so that we can carry out our idea of what to wear.
3. To apply for leave.

To start looking for wedding package? This is the one that is the most troublesome, i guess. Time to do research on this.

16th July, Thursday
Participated in Dear Dear's department outing.
We went East Coast Park for bowling and had our dinner at Long Beach Seafood restaurant.
We were late for the bowling and we did not get to finish bowling one game.

But the food is nice and most importantly, there's crabs for dinner! I ate pepper crab for the first time. It is so spicy that my eyes were tearing...


15th July, Wednesday
Company social outing to Settlers Cafe.
It is my first outing with my new colleagues. Fun but we only played one game throughout. Taboo, a game that is easy to understand and is suitable for a large group.


11th July, Saturday
Celebrated Dear Dear's grandma's birthday at The Paramount, a Chinese restaurant located at Paramount Hotel basement. It is the first time that Dear Dear's cousin bought all her three kids to the family outing! These kids are definitely hard to handle at one go... LOL.

The restaurant serves relative nice dishes but the environment outside the restaurant is quite sleazy. A lot of the ladies standing outside the pubs, openly asking for businesses. It was quite surprising as I had been to Paramount Hotel's Cafe for a few times for buffet but was totally unaware of such a scene at the basement of the hotel. But I guess they are harmless, many people still patronise that restaurant.

5th July, Sunday

Watched 3D movie, Ice Age with my family @ AMK Hub Cathay.
The 3D effect was not much needed for this movie. The special eye-wear that we wore in order to see the 3D effect was a hassle rather than an added enjoyment to the movie. This is especially true for those who are already wearing their own spectacles. It kept slipping down as my nose bridge cannot support 2 eye wears... I could have enjoyed the show more...


3rd July, Friday

Kev went to meet Kok Koon, Weiliang and Desmond.
Whereas I met up with Xian, Min, Hao and Edmund @ Marina Square Kenny Rogers. The muffins there are still as good as before *Yummy*

After the dinner, Hao drove us to Geline's place. We went home after watching some variety shows and chit chatting there for a few hours.


27 June, Saturday

Watched Transformer at Great World City Cinema. It is no where near its rating of half a star... it's actually quite a good show!

After the movie, we took the shuttle bus to city hall and went to Breeks at Marina Square. The one-for-one ice cream offer for June is ending soon, so we went there for the ice cream since we are around that area.

I had not been to Breeks for years.... the last time was in upper sec when the Breeks at Marina Square had not been turned into a cafe yet.


21 June, Sunday

Celebrated father's day with kev's family at Geylang Lorong 33 "Wa Pou Fan", a shop that sells claypot rice. Their claypot rice is very nice wor~
Perhaps can bring my family to go there and try the claypot rice too!

Heard from QQ that Eugene and Melvin got the CA UK! Both from our run ;p
Wish them all the best!

Dear dear and I had been looking around for HP pouch that is sleek, probably similar to the pouch for the E71 nokia hp. We went to a few shops and all the pouches are very bulky. The phone itself if not slim already, plus the bulky pouch will only make it looks very clumsy... Haiz, will continue looking for the ideal one.

We met up with Jan yesterday. Jan loses so much weight! His clothes looked really loose on him. Jan, if you can maintain this size, I think you will need to buy new clothes ;p

Here's some updates on last week's event:

14th June 09

Celebrated father's day at Dian Xiao Er at Changi Airport T3.
The price is reasonable and the food taste good.


I like the menu which look like the Kung Fu script, very cute right?


11th June 09
Met up with my PwC tablemates at SMU Settler's Cafe.
We wanted to have Fish and Chips for dinner, but the cafe ran out of fish!
So all of us ended up having Chicken Cutlet or Chicken Chop...

We started off with something light so as to get our brain warmed up. Then we played "Cranium", a game introduced by Melvin.


It is an interesting game though I hope that they can come out with a Singapore version. I don't know so many of the persons that the questions were referring to! Mainly those old english artists during our parents or even grandparents's time.


Anyway, I only stayed until 8.30pm as I have to wake up for work early next morning. Nowadays, I will start to get sleepy at around 10.30pm, hee...

Thanks Clarissa for her gift from HK! It is a very meaningful keychain.
08th June 09
There was an official welcome lunch for Chai Leng and I at Peach Garden.
Peach Garden served a specialty, Shark's Cartilage Soup, which is quite unique. Actually I like the soup but it makes my mouth feel so sticky that I would not want to drink it so often. Anyway, I think it is too expensive for me to drink it often. haha!


07th June 09
Dear dear's CFA exams are finally over! Looking at him studying, I feel that studying as a working adult is really a torture. I wonder how my sister make it through these years...

04 June 2009
My E63 came! Finally got myself a new hp and is the same as dear dear's, just that his is black and mine is red :)
Sharing same phone is good. In this way, we can share the accessories and the technical tips on using the phone. Cool!


03 June 2009
EPS gathering after work turned out to be just Hock Jin, Kang Mai, Sock Ying and me. Haven't seen Sock Ying for years...
We had our dinner at Crystal Jade and desserts at MOF, must really thank the 2 guy who paid the meals for the day. Thank you.
Updates:
Hock Jin is still studying and Kang Mai is still with Schenker.
Sock Ying is with RBC as Fund Administrator and has a cute little 1 1/2 year old daughter. Your figure is still so good even after giving birth, envy you leh!


02 June 2009
After work, I met up with Dear Dear to catch a movie at Cineleisure, "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past". It is quite a nice show, and some parts can be touching. Worthwhile show to watch.

May 2009


28th May
Today is my 1st day at my new company, no break between my resignation day and my 1st day of work. My manager treated my colleagues and I for lunch at an Italian Restaurant along Boat Quay.
My day ends early as they have not started handing over the daily tasks to me. I hope that I have landed somewhere more suitable for me.

27th May
Today is my last day with PwC. I was busy doing clearance for the 1st half of the day. Many of my runmates were in the office today, so I get to have lunch with about 10 of them :p It had been a long time since we have this amount of strength ever since the peak begins. Or at least for the days when I am back at office...
Veena is also leaving PwC a few weeks later on 19 June to be a teacher.
9th May
It has been long long time since we played Mj! Gary, Hanwen, Kev & I played Mj at my house. Hanwen is really a bit mad, he came after his KPMG Dragon Boat training and was going back to Malaysia that evening after the Mj... Sometimes, I really take my hat off him.
As usual, it is a brain-wrecking session plus some gossipings and updates ;p

5th May
Today is the last day for 3 A1s, Sock Tin is one of them. So we have a farewell lunch for her at Bia Fu @ Far East Square. Do keep in touch, Sock Tin :)
In the pictures:

01st - 02nd May - Malacca Trip

01st May
Waking up early in the morning at 4plus am and still caught in the jam at the Malaysian custom. We are supposed to meet Brandon and Jeni at the Singapore custom by 5.15am, not to leave house at 5.15am! By the time we reach Malacca is about 10am

Our 1st station at Malacca is to have the chicken rice ball for lunch.
Hmm... Hainaiese chicken rice still taste better. Hee...
In the picture: Brandon and Jeni discussing abt the chicken rice ball.

After the lunch, we went for a walk nearby.
I remember there is a place where all the buildings are in red when I was there 13 years ago... Here it is! 13 years later, I am here again with my dear dear :)

We walked around the Red city of Malacca, looking for hotel to stay overnight. We spent about 30min-an hour before we settled down at the Queenspark Hotel.
It is a new hotel near Mahkota Parade Shopping Mall, the shopping centre which most tourists there patronise. Cheap and good!

We went to Mahkota to shop and had late lunch at the foodcourt before going for our dinner. The claypot rice at the foodcourt is great!

We queue for more than half an hour for the luk luk satay. It is like steamboat style and everything will taste like... satay sauce. The way of eating luk luk satay is not very hygienic, so for those who are very particular about hygiene, I guess you will definitely give this a miss.

In the picture: Philip, Jayne, me, Kev, Jeni (Photographer: Brandon)

Night at Jonger Walk. Jonger walk is like Singapore's pasar malang except that it is very very crowded. Dear dear bought a scarf for me wor, thanks dear!
Finally, we found seats at the famous Ice Kachang Stall.


2nd May
Lunch @ Newton Culture Food Village. My hot plate is disappointing, but dear dear and I agreed that the tea here is good :p
After the meal, we da bao the tea, lol!

In the picture: Me, Kev, Jeni, Brandon, Philip (Photographer: Jayne)

Shopping @ Dataran Pahlawan, a new shopping mall.

After the shopping, my brother and Brandon suggested massage...
We went to a place nearby to look for Massage Salon and they decided on "Hua Tuo Massage Salon". Kev & I gave it a miss and went to the vegetarian cafe opposite the salon. Dear dear and I always have things to talk abt :D

Finally, it was home sweet home after that.... a 3-4 hours journey back to SG.

Wow... it had been quite some time since my last entry for Vday.
Just in case i start to lose my memories one day, I would like to jot down some events that happened between then till now.




All right, I should start by flipping through my organiser. I have really poor memory nowadays, gotta keep record of all my appointments....

April

28 April - Tendering my Resignation with PwC
It really does not feel good to tender... Leaving a place where I am familiar with and leaving the big family esp my runmates. My whole day was quite down after tendering. Perhaps it's due to the uncertainty that I am feeling, or perhaps it's the feeling of unable to let go, or perhaps it's a mixed feeling of both.


12 April - Celebrate Kev's cousin, Nana's 21st Bday @ Pasir Ris Downtown East Chalet
Nana was busy entertaining the guests and Nana's sis, Stephanie had been really helpful that day, BBQ-ing for the guests. She was perspiring all over, I wonder is that why our food taste a bit salty, haha! j/k, the food taste just right.

Cute little nephews turned up for her bday too, although one of them was absence. Serene and Alvin only choose 2 out of the 3 boys when they are attending events. In this case, Dominic (eldest) and Mathew (youngest) were there, Benedict stays home and sleep, he loves to sleep anyway.



March
Even though I have no plan to celebrate my bday anymore, somehow it was still celebrated this year, twice.

15 March - My bday celebration cum after-peak tablemates gathering @ Sun with Moon Clark Quay
It was my 1st time dinning at Sun with Moon. The presentation of the food is very nice. The taste was ok for me, didn't wow me but didn't turn me off either.

Thanks tablemates. My journey at PwC won't be as great if it was without you.


06 March - My bday and Yixian's bday celebration at Bakerzin Suntec
It is the 12th Bday since I know you girls and it is probably the 11th bday that you girls are celebrating for me. Great thanks to you girls!!! Oh yah, thanks Ziwei for turning up too! I think it's my 1st bday celebration that you turned up, lol.

The cheese cake that you girls ordered for me was fantastic!!! I finished the whole piece on my own even though I was very full after taking the main course.

In the picture: Huixian, Min, me and Yixian (Lora is with her sis and friends at another table, Lei is late and Ziwei is the photographer, haha!).


February

28 Feb - My sister's ROM
My sis held her ROM at Aloha Changi Chalet G and many friends and relatives had been invited to this solemnization ceremony.
Here's our family photo... Hmm, looks like there is someone missing... the leopard...

No... actually it is my brother who is missing. A leopard never changes its spot. He is always late, even for this kind of event... Jayne better make sure he be on time for your own wedding!

My brother, Jayne, my cousin Dennis and his girlfriend with our newly wed, Pamela and Thomas (Kun Xiong).

CONGRATS TO MY SIS & KUNXIONG!!!

28 Feb - Kev's Popo 93rd Bday
Happy Bday to Popo :P

It was very nice of Karin & with the help of Karen who spent a few nights editing a video of popo. It was a nice "movie screening" of popo's life for everyone.



21 Feb - Dinner with relatives at Hougang
This is the 2nd dinner at Hougang these 2 months. This time is because my brother strike 4D, his new car plate number won him the 1st prize.


I think my brother and Jayne is meant to be together and here's the reason why: One day, Jayne asked my brother to get her the $6k proposal ring, and that night, my brother strike 4D after telling her that he will buy for her only if he strike 4D on that night.
Oops, no more backing out for my brother.


20 Feb - EPS Gathering at Chong Qing Lao Huo Guo opp Shaw Tower.
The food there was nothing fantastic to me although there is a long queue of people waiting for the seats. Perhaps I am not a big fan of the seafood. After the dinner, we went to Brekz opp Bugis Junction to catch up with each other.

It has been more than 10 years since we know each other, it was a nice catch up session. Some updates:
Irene is now a teacher for history and literature.
Lydia is with UOB as management associate
Yingyan is with AMK Community Hospital as social worker
Kangmai is with Schenker
Hock Jin & Baorong are still studying

14th Feb 2009, Saturday

Happy Valentine's Day Dear Dear!!! Simple and easy-to-make jelly specially made for you ;p
Hope you won't mind this simple dessert made for you.

Enjoying our Jelly... Yummy.

Gundam model assembled by us. It belongs to my brother, Oops... Anyway, we returned it to him and it is now standing on the shelf in the cupboard in his room.
It is really fun assembling the model, its joints are even movable! Wow... do I sound a bit like "mountain tortoise"??? Haha!

Thanks dear dear... I love u!
