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.

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

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.

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!

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.
