peak period
Wendy busy cutting the pork kunckle for us. The portion is very big. They say its for two but it can actually be for four. (Location : sunset way, clementi)
Humogous fries, very nice! and got two for one promotion!
Chicken cutlet which i dun really like, i prefer chicken chop but the potato is nice!
Pork kunckle before cutting (look like food u will have in germany right?)
I thought we look like we are on some hills...
Ruolin looks like she is in a resort...
The restaurant which we went.
Nice pizza which i had in VivoOkay, my peak has officially started while people's is ending soon. I have been looking at the financial instruments for the past one week and it is driving me bonkers soon. I really feel like killing the person who invent all these instrument but i think most prob the person is already dead anyway.
Even though peak has started, i still have a wonderful time with my friends last sat. Mj, ruolin and jj came to my house to use the gym. After gym, we played table tennis. It was really fun. After that, mj went off with her bf and the three of us went to sunset way (clementi) to meet wendy for dinner. Sunset way is really a beautiful place and you will be shocked such a place exist amidst the neighbourhood area. We went to the restaurant recommended by "Du shi da fa xian". But so sad, we were too full after the main course that we dun have the space in our stomach to eat the desserts which they are very famous for! There is a jap steamboat restaurant there which seems very nice too! After our dinner, they came to my house for mahjong! Its the fastest mahjong i ever played! We actually played one full round in 2 and half hours.
At around 11.30pm, we were looking for other activites. We went Dempsey road, that place is beautiful too, filled with pubs and cafes! But it is really inaccessible, u can nvr get there without a car or cab. Anyway, that day we were abit yaya. There is only four of us but we drove two cars! Abit not environment friendly but then it make sense also cos me and wendy stay in the west and jj and ruolin stay in the east. But anyway, when we reached Dempsey road at around 12, almost all the cafes are closing! And we cannot go pub and drink cos wendy and jj were driving. So, we decided to go orchard's party world to sing ktv (near heeren one). To our horror, the whole ktv is gone! Then, we went to the 24hr TCC to have a drink and chat until around 3 am before heading home. Haiz, so boring, Singapore really dun have much night life besides clubbing.

1 hr yoga + 1hr body combat = body aches
Wow, it has been so long since i felt that i fully utilised my day. Yesterday, woke up early to study and then go to the gym. Mum ask me to stop running when i was on the treadmill in the gym. At that moment, i was on my 45 min point, my target was 50 min so even thou my mum asked me to stop, i continued cos i hate it when i fail to acheive my target. Mum was irritated by me cos my knees got problem and i shouldnt be running so long. After that, went home to bathe and rush down to orchard to meet ruolin, mayjin and zhiyue for yoga at True Yoga.
We were supposed to have 2 weeks free trial but that person told us there's no point in us going again since we are not interested in signing up for the package. Abit pissed when he told us that cos my friend already told them she is not interested in the package when they offer her the free two weeks trial and that person say its okay. And also, if u guys are interested in signing up for this type of package, remember to slash the prices with them. If u just sign up without bargaining, they will charge u $500 joining fee, $100+ processing fee + $100+ per month. Siaoz, i think only the tai tais will pay this kind of money lo. When we refuse to sign up, they offer to waive us the joining fee, charge minimum processing fee plus $99 per month. See, what a big difference? So, remember to bargain when u guys are really interested in signing up and not be can3 cai3 tou2 by those pple. Anyway, we went for one hr of yoga and one hr body combat and i have to admit the lessons are really good. But i think body combat can actually be done ourselves at home provided u got the discipline. I think yoga is really not my cup of tea. I never fail to burst out laughing for every yoga lesson which i think will result in internal injury. But it is really too funny cos someone actually fell asleep when we were doing the breathing exercise and that person is snoring! Actually, i can hold my laughter but when i heard mayjin started laughing, i cannot hold my laughter too!
After the yoga and body combat, we went clarke quay's Brewerz to have dinner to celebrate may jin's birthday! The food there is not really good, haha. So disappointing cos i was really hungry! I only had my breakfast prior to doing those exercises. I thought i would faint when doing the body combat! Then, we went TCC there and he drinks there all taste werid! The ones at orchard is much nicer. And the service attitude really sucks! I think they need to go for classes on service quality. After that, we went to watch the movie "Marley & Me"!!! I love jennifer anniston. She's so pretty even thou she is in her fourties. Even thou, she have wrinkles on her face le but her figure is still wonderful. And i made one conclusion after watching the show. I think i better dun have a dog. Actually, i plan to buy a dog (golden retreiver, so cute!) when i have my own house (cos my mum hate dogs). But, its really sad when they leave you one day since they have pretty short life span.

Ha, i think my friends find me pretty irritating when i said i watch more TV than them. Think they interpret it as i have more time to watch TV than them but what i actually mean is i like to watch TV more than them. Even when i was in DT, i am sure that i watch more TV than anyone of them cos i will watch TV and do my work at the same time. Sometimes, i think i am really inconsiderate. I shouldnt be complaining that my peak is starting since i am sure that my friends are working harder than me at this moment. But, i am just that kind of person who will say whatever that came into my mind. Actually, i dun mind working late but i just cannot control my mind, it just seems to be not working after 8 pm and i feel really miserable when i am working with my mind not working. Its just not efficient and effective. And its even more miserable when u were working late with people u treat as colleagues and not friends. I miss my DMS team mates, i miss Yani, Poh ling, sie yong, mayjin, wai teng, tai hiem . . . Love all of them and i miss working with them, hope they are all doing well.
Got another presentation next week, sian...

happy niu yr
Happy new year! Ha, seems abit late but nvm la. This yr's new yr is super sian bcos everyday when i woke up and read the papers when i am having breakfast, most of the news talk about pay cut or retrenchment. What a bad way to start a day! But cannot dun read papers cos will cannot be turtle in the shell.
Even though there is recession, my ang baos this yr actually increased! All thanks to my grandma at my dad's side! But even thou new yr is not over yet, i have almost finished using up all my ang baos money! I used it to buy my new pink samsung F480!! Its super pretty and nice to use (hey boss, i know how to use touch screeen phone k, dun think i am so low tech). It has a good camera (5 megapix, face and smile detection, flash) and a good storage space (enable me to load my top 60 songs into the phone). So far, i havent found any flaws with the phone but will update if i find any.
Actually i find that i dun enjoy visiting during new yr anymore le. When i am young, i really find visiting very fun and always look forward to that. But now, when all of us have grown up, the topics which i never fail to hear about is about stocks, shares, bla bla bla. And the purpose of talking about that? Money! There is nothing wrong about buying stocks. But isnt it very "bei1 ai1" that when we grow up, our lives only revolves around money? So what if you or your friend is earning a few millions a year? Are they really happy? I am so sad for xiao zhu when he said that a ger whom he likes stop going out with him bcos of the stress of having to avoid being seen by reporters when gg out with him. He has gained fame and money but he also lost his freedom!
And i am super pissed off when someone say i have "xue2 huai4" just bcos i am playing mahjong! And i am playing for fun, no money involved lo! If you think i am gambling i can tell you, buying shares or stocks is also a kind of gambling bcos it is not hundred percent that the stock price will rise or fall! So if u are buying shares, shut up yr big mouth when i am playing mahjong. I think i will consider gg overseas next yr's new yr!

my dear
Ha, today is actually jay chou's birthday!!! He is my dear fav singer and i miss him so much from the concert three years ago. I am so pissed off with someone from my previous firm. I also dunno who the hell is it. Kaoz, trying to ruin my reputation lo. Say what my application to go back is being rejected by my partner. I nvr even apply to go back at all lo even thou i did express to my mgrs i might want to go back. Lucky i got alot of good friends still there who can inform me of such rumours. I dunno why these pple are still so free even though now is the peak period. I am so disappointed with these people. But anyway, i can tell you guys for sure, i have no intention of going back now for at least the current year! See la, spoil my mood on jay chou's birthday. Irritating!

Stress
I try to put in my best effort in whatever i do but it seems always it end up to my own disadvantage. I am glad that my boss commended me for the work i have done but it also put extra stress on me for the presentation next week. Once i screwed up the presentation next week, i know all the effort i have put in will go into the drain. Actually, from what i have discussed with my DT kakhis, we all agreed that it is better to be a low profile employee than a high profile one (perhaps only in DT). A low profile one can survive longer as any mistake which you make will not be magnified and also you wont have to go thru so much shit. Actually, theres a downside to being low profile which is you might not be able to get the recognition and satisfaction from your work. For some people, that might not be necessary cos their main motive from working is to get money. That is not the case for me, i must derive satisfaction in what i do. Went back office to talk to my big boss and she also commended me for my work, said she want to groom me, etc. Actually, i am quite skeptical when people say they want to groom me. My previous big boss also said that to me when i just joined DT. But end up, i only saw him giving all the opportunites to guys. Dunno is this an empty cheque again or not? But anyway, if i screw up the presentation next week, nothing more need to be said already also. I am not actually worried about presenting, i am more worried about the questions they will ask. Pray hard that they dun ask much!
Tommorrow is such a special day!!!!! Its my dear's birthday. Love and miss him so much!!!
