peak period

2009-04-10T00:08:00.010+08:00

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 Vivo

Okay, 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

2009-03-08T13:39:00.003+08:00

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...

Scared

2009-02-15T12:39:00.002+08:00

I have a sense of foreboding. Cannot pin down what but just feel something bad is going to happen and its making me very worried. Dear shen, give me strength and luck to overcome any difficulties ahead!

Retail therapy

2009-02-14T14:22:00.002+08:00

I bought this when i am unhappy one day, ooppss.

happy niu yr

2009-01-31T18:40:00.003+08:00

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

2009-01-18T22:19:00.003+08:00

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

2009-01-17T10:00:00.002+08:00

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!!!

happy birthday to my dear

2009-01-09T20:55:00.002+08:00

I guess every job got its own stress. I thought my present job got no stress at all since we dun really have tight deadlines to meet but i am wrong. For the whole of this week, i am so stressed with coming out with the mangament letter points and doing my presentation slides. I got a presentation to make to the upper management on the 20th jan. I havent make any presentation for ages le! Stress... And i hope there will not be any pay cut announced in the budget on 22nd Jan! Got MAS meeting and dance practices for DND, busy busy busy. Ha, but going buffet with boss at traders hotel next sat, yahooooo!

LAstly, i want to say happy birthday to my dear whosee birthday is on 18th Jan!!!

Happy New Year!

2009-01-01T14:17:00.002+08:00

2008 is gone too. 2008 is a year where i make certain decisions which may change the rest of my life. 2008 is also filled with memories, both happy and unhappy ones for me. The most happy memories i have is certainly the times i spent with my deloitte friends. We work hard, play hard and complain hard together. Even if i will not have the chance of working with them again in the future, i will keep them forever in my heart. In this new year, i hope to bless all my friends with happiness. I hope that the year of cow which is our own year will be a good year for all of us! I also hope that my grandma can recover from the operation soon and be happy.

Hmm, its time to make some new year resolutions for 2009. My first resolution is to finish studying for my CFA and to pass the exams. The second resolution is to bring happiness to people around me. The third is to go Europe with my dear friends. The fourth resolution is to learn how to be contented. The fifth one is for all the above to be fulfilled, haha. Stay happy everyone!

living on credit

2008-12-25T22:56:00.002+08:00

So happy this Christmas! I received quite alot of gifts from my friends, family and colleague (not as much as my sis but i am contented, hee). Receive a Starbucks tumbler from liping. I dunno if its fate or what. Whenever i do gift exchange with her around, i will surely get her present and she will get mine. Is it why we are born on the same day? Ha, maybe. But, i am happy to get her present anyway esp the photo and the choco! The choco is so nice that i dun feel like eating them. My dad want to eat my choco but i refuse to give him, muahaha. Bu xiao nu! haha, i bought choco for my mum and i say he can eat my mum's. Got a nice organizer from cass, an eye massenger from my supervisor and ming zhong dvd from my sis!!!! Yeah, i have been wanting to watch the show but i hate to watch online so i nvr start at all! Now i can watch it on DVD!!! Yahooo!

Yesterday my sis's friends came to my house for mahjong and christmas celebration. I helped them to take photo and it so happen that there is a white ring of blurry ripples which appeared on one of her friend's photo. My mum and sis kept insisting that white ring look like a monkey's face! Seriously, i cant make a thing out of that ring and i think its just reflection. But, according to my sis (who claims she is great at photography stuff), that what appear in the picture is a capture of spirit of something? Is it? I dunno and i hope its not.

Relaxing life

2008-12-19T22:00:00.002+08:00

I am having a relaxing life while all my other friends are slogging thru the peak period. Listening to the complains of my peers make me waver about my thinking. Hmm, why think so much? I shall just enjoy my life first. Taking the mrt every morning really piss me off. Those people are really so irritating! Always stand right in the middle of the door when the people inside have not even come out. I really feel like stepping on their feet!!! I think they should learn from Taiwan and draw lines for people to queue. Whoever who nvr queue and rush in shall be fined! I bet they will be scared. But listening to FM93.3 in the morning nvr fails to make me break out laughing when Zhiyong and Peifen are hosting together. Three cheers for them!

i love christmas this yr!

2008-12-13T21:49:00.002+08:00

I am simply indulging myself in the christmas season mood! I went presents shopping at taka just now! Bought alot of things but everything is for other pple. Bought for my sis, my mum, my dad and my friends! I feel so happy buying all the presents! Buying presents for other pple is even more happy and fulfilling than buying things for myself. Still havent finish my shopping yet, still got some friends where i have not get their presents yet, shall continue tomolo! Ha, there are so many things that i feel like buying! I feel like buying a red Apple Ipod nano, a red PSP slim, a red agnes b bag and a red agnes b wallet. Haha, if u see me with all these stuff, that means i have struck lottery. Next sat, my deloitte kakhis coming my house to play mj, i look forward to that!!!!! This yr's christmas is simply lovely. Ha, i will be on leave on 26th, yeah!

overspent

2008-12-04T20:06:00.002+08:00

I think having a credit card will really make one overspend! Ha, i really spent too much this month le. Bought a laptop and my spects will cost me S$240! Ex right? I make it at the shop where my cousin is working as optician. She gave me a discount of $70. The spects cost $310 originally. Know why is it so ex? Cos .... its AX one!!!!! Ha, i support my previous client! I didnt bought it bcos of the brand, i bought it cos its the only spects which i like in the shop.

Hmm, i think my handphone will be dying soon, it keeps on hanging nowadays. Haiz, please dun die so soon, i got no money to buy the phone which i want to get now.

Happy?

2008-11-30T10:10:00.014+08:00

I have started work for only one week and i feel so bored! Havent learn anything yet and i am not sure whether things will get better. But anyway, will just wait and see how ba. Maybe go back or maybe go somewhere else. The good thing is everyday can knock off on time and dun have to do any work at all when we are at home cos we cannot bring our lappy home. This is the first time i look forward to Friday when i am at work. My mum say i am mad for complaining about being bored. I want to live to work and not work to live.

Okay, enough of work. Christmas is coming and even though i will not be having a white christmas, i bought a white vaio lappy for myself! I bought it at the Sitex fair at $1499 with a free laptop case ($99), bluetooth mouse ($149) and a 8 Gig thumbdrive. I think its very worth it! I paid $150 more to extend the warranty for 2 more yrs. I wanted the red lappy actually but they dun have red for CS 13.

After buying the lappy, me and my sis went changi airport for lunch cos expo is really too crowded! Then, i went back home to put down the lappy before heading to orchard. I love the christmas decorations taka is selling! Its all so pretty but the price is certainly pretty too. Later going with mummy and daddy to get christmas tree! Yeah, i look forward to decorating our christmas tree!

My vaio lappy!

This red bear is so cute! I want !

Arent these rudolf cute? I want to put one beside my christmas tree!

Life transformers

2008-11-20T16:45:00.003+08:00

I think the variety show "Life transformers" hosted by christoper lee and quan yi feng is terrific! Every week when i watched it, it reminds me that i am very fortunate and that i should be contented with what i have. The previous episode focuses on a nine yr old girl whose mother is unable to walk psychologically (I shall return to this pt later) and hence spends all her time on the bed and father who earns $200-$300 per mth from the selling of newspapers. Her father had difficulties doing other jobs as he had amputated one of his legs due to diabetes and he is not highly educated. As for her mother, she had a fall about nine yrs back and from then on, she did not dare to walk anymore. Why did i say that her mother cannot walk psychologically instead of physically? It was so obvious from the show that she can move her legs when she was on the bed and she can sit upright which means her spine is okay. Her psychological fear was so great that she held on tightly to quan yi feng when they placed her on the wheelchair. As a result, the little girl was the one who suffer the most. She has to clear the bowels of her mother, cook and do housework everyday despite having to study. A nine yr old ger should not be going thru all these. Despite all these that she is going thru, she did very well in sch. What i admire her the most is her attitude towards life despite her situation. She is very optimistic and contented with her life despite all that happen.

My mum say i should be ashamed of myself bcos a nine yr old kid can cook unlike me. I dun feel ashamed by the fact that i cannot cook but i feel ashamed for the fact that i always whine about life even though i am already very fortunate. But its the truth, life is nvr fair. And we all have to learn to accept the truth like brainless people can also earn big bucks, etc. I am still learning to accept the truth bcos only by accepting, will one find true happiness. But anyway, i seriously think those who owns branded bags even before you all starts to work should consider donating yr money to the unfortunate since you all got so much cash to spare. And also i really hope that a kind soul psychologist can help the child's mother get rid of her psychological fear and enable her to wallk again. I think that is the only wish the little ger has right now.

Enjoying life...

2008-11-13T19:47:00.003+08:00

I am currently unemployed and enjoying life now. My new job will only be starting on 24th Nov. Hope everything goes well and i can meet wonderful pple at my new wk place too! I am supposed to study for my CFA but i spend most of my time surfing the net and watching zhuan jiao yu dao ai! Omg, the show is so funny, i totally love it! Ha, okay, i am gg hua chi again. Me and yee have a pact that we will certainly go to xiao zhu's concert if he hold one in Singapore. How i wish he will come soon cos it has been ages since i went for a concert and jay will not be coming so soon. Anyway, i aimed to finish studying book 1 of my CFA within this 2 weeks. There is a total of 520+ pages but i am only at page 178! Jiayou jiayou, keat, u need to buck up!

Went with my mum to si ma lu there with her friend. Lucky i went with her man! Her friend brought us to a place selling all those slimming and beauty products. The moment i step into the shop i knew what her friend is up to lo. Multi level marketing. But we still tried their detoxification process where we soak our legs inside a basin with water, salt and a motor. The motor is supposed to break down the ions and enable us to detox out the fats, oil and toxins in our body. The water is clear at first but as it goes, it turn brown and there seems to be layer of fats on the surface of the water. I dunno if the fats are really fats inside my body. I tried to search online to see if there is any basis behind that process but cannot really find any answers. Well, if u guys have the knowlegde on this, kindly advice me.

Last day...

2008-11-08T23:29:00.002+08:00

On friday, it was my last day in deloitte. I sent a super long email to all my friends and colleagues. Really bu she de them. I am really glad to receive quite a number of replies from them. On Friday, not alot of my friends were around cos they are all at client's place. When i was returning my lappy to the IT department, zhiyue and wendy accompanied me and they said they feel that it was as if they were sending me off at the airport. At that time, i was still telling them it was abit exaggerating. But after they went off, i suddenly feel like crying. Luckily, the majority were not in office. If not, i confirm breakdown. You guys must be thinking i am mad. If it is so sad to leave, why do i still choose to leave. Between health and wealth, i chose health. Between working with my friends and pursuing my own dreams, i chose the latter. I am also not sure whether it was realistic to pursue my dreams. But i know even if i failed, at least i have tried and will not regret. Alot of my seniors said they are surprised that i am leaving cos they think i am very suitable for audit. Maybe i will go back into audit? Well, no one knows about the future.
Actually, i can leave at two on Friday but i chatted with my seniors until 4 before i leave. They are such wonderful people, i hope to bless them for the upcoming peak...

Angry

2008-10-29T00:12:00.002+08:00

I am super angry today. Actually, i dun have to be but i am still angry. I hate people who are sexist! Who says gers cannot do what guys can do and who say gers will pale in comparison with guys in terms of work? I simply hate those guys who look down on us gers. I am going to show them that gers can do what guys can do and better. And i am not so stupid to stay and clear the shit for those guys and let them take the recognition and rewards in the end. Now, i realise one thing. I am a very career minded woman. I dun have to get very high pay but i demand the recognition and opportunities i feel i deserve to get (which should be the same as guys).

Someone is treating me as invisible and i shall do the same to him. You want to try to agitate me by doing so rite? Sorry, i won't fall into yr trap.

Taken for granted

2008-10-26T22:12:00.003+08:00

Met up with steph, mei sin, imelia and daisy today at westmall coffee bean. That used to be our fav hangout place when we were still in sec sch. After so many years, we were back there again. The feeling is great! We simply seat there and talk for hours and sec sch life seems like just yesterday. Even though we have not met up for a long time, i still feel comfortable when i am with them. Ha, i am so sorry for indirectly saying that mei sin's bf is not rich cos i said i think imelia will get married first cos her bf is richer. What i mean is i thought imelia's bf come from a rich family and not whether he earn more than him or what. Not sure if mei sin's bf feel hurt over this. Anyway, i sincerely extend my apologies here!

I am irritated when i check my company's email just now. I seriously think they are taking me for granted. I wanted to ignore the email but i cannot bring myself to do so and end up i replied the email and asked the senior to send me the file so that i can do it tomorrow. I really dun understand myself too. I could simply ignore them but i cannot bring myself to do it. Is this the reason why they are taking me for granted times and times again? I am tired, i really am.

abandonment

2008-10-18T10:27:00.002+08:00

So many people said to me : "Keat Wee, how can you abandon us?" Everytime i hear this, i cant help feeling sad. I really got no wish of abandoning you all. Really, i am sorry. I love you guys. I hope that things will be fine for you guys without me around. And i am really sorry to my senior for causing so much misery to her. She cannot find anyone to replace me for her engagements cos i think its kind of short handed. Hope that she will find someone soon.

I went back office yesterday to do my timesheet and send confirmations. The reality of "i am going to leave that office soon "entered into my mind and i started to go around snapping pics. I want to remember that place forever. Even thou we always complain that we don't like our group but i think our group is the strongest and most happening group so in a way, it make everyone of us very close to one another. I will always remember you guys and i hope you guys will remember me always!

Stronger

2008-10-04T00:14:00.002+08:00

On thurs, i carried my damaged laptop into the IT department with a smile on my face. The IT person actually ask me not to smile. I know i would have to pay for the laptop but the damage has already been done so u want me to cry and bring the laptop to u? Actually, i am quite surprised by myself too. I didnt cry or feel like crying when the person told me most prob i have to pay for the laptop. If it was one yr ago, i am sure i would burst out crying. Can i say i have grown stronger? But i also realise recently when i feel very sad and feel like crying, no tears managed to get out of my eyes, they would just flow down thru my heart. Better EQ? I wonder this is good or bad. When i realise the crack in my laptop screen, somehow it give me assurance that my decision to leave is correct. Somehow, i feel that it symbolised an end and the time for a fresh beginning.

I am announcing to more and more people that i am leaving cos i dun want to give them a shock when i really leave and also to enable them to find replacement in time. Some friends think i should leave, some know but nvr say anything and some keep asking me to stay. I am touched by May jin who encourage my decision even thou my departure means greater workload for her. Another one is my buddy, Gilbert who says he will support whatever decision that i make. But i am also disappointed in some people who give the response of " You go already, who take over yr shit?" I dun consider this kind of people my friend at all, cant wait to get them out of my sight and i hope you do get part of my shit (opps, so evil).

Only steh ask me to stay genuinely bcos she say she think i will do well in this line. Actually, i think i still like audit but i am not happy in the environment i am in now. And happiness matters to me the most now cos life is short. I dun want to be in the "chasing for money" race which my mgr is in now. So what if she earn alot? I can see that she is not happy too and i dun want to follow her footsteps.

I hope i can still be in contact with my 9 other princesses after i leave. Hope they will miss me cos i will surely miss them alot!

Decision made

2008-10-01T20:22:00.002+08:00

I have made my decision to leave yesterday and have already receive my first round of counselling from mgr and AM. Dunno why i just feel very uncomfortable after the counselling session but my decision is not wavered cos i know what i want. And i am so suay yesterday. I dropped my lappy and the screen cracked in a very terrible manner. Have to send my lappy to IT tomolo, i wonder if i have to pay for it. I hope not, keep my fingers cross! I am facing major cash flow problems now. Feel so sad the whole day that i basically sleep the whole day away even thou its a public holiday. Kaoz, i dun even know what am i sad over? Leaving my friends soon? Cracking my laptop screen?

Stay or leave

2008-09-26T18:48:00.002+08:00

The decision to leave seems so easy when the day to make the final decision is still far away. Have to make the decision by next week, should i or should i not?

Pros of leaving:
1. Higher pay now
2. Lesser workload i suppose
3. More overseas opportunities
4. CFA will be sponsored
5. More bonus
6. Dun have to go thru all the shit during peak

Cons of leaving:
1. New environment
2. Lower pay in the future
3. leaving my dear friends

Back from bangkok

2008-09-25T15:58:00.002+08:00

I AM BACK! Ha, actually i dun feel like coming back cos bangkok is really a shopping paradise! I think i can go there every year! The things there are really dirt cheap if you know where to shop and how to bargain. I am angry with myself for not doing enough research before the trip and end up we went to shop at the more ex places first! So, for the benefit of those who will be visiting bangkok for the first time, below are my super valuable advice:

1. Dun stay in first house hotel (unless you are really very $ tight cos its super cheap) bcos there are cockroaches in the room, the pillow is super hard, there is no hair dryer and flask in the room. There is a smell of decay in the room. The only good thing is its location. Its located right in Pratunam and near to Platinum Mall. There's a super nice hotel - Amari Watergate located right next to Platinum Mall but its super ex. I think more affordable hotels there are samran place and baiyoke boutique.

2. GO straight to Pratunam market to shop first! I am so angry that i only shop there on the last day cos we stay there. Things there are the cheapest, you dun even have to bargain bcos its super cheap. I bought 2 dresses there at 100 baht each. I thought i heard wrongly when the person say 100 baht! I only believe it when i give the person 200 baht and the person nvr ask me for more money. Its like less than S$5 for each dress! And the cardigan costs 55 baht each if u buy more than 3 and 80 baht if you only buy one. I am so angry cos i bought the same cardigan at Platinum mall at 150 baht. End up i bought 2 more cardigans at the market while jj bought 1. So each cardgian only cost S$2.50? CHEAP LIKE HELL CAN? Nice shorts costs only 100 baht each, nice bags costs 199 or 250 baht, tops costs 150 baht if you buy only 1 and 100 baht if you buy 3.

3. The second place to shop is Platinum Mall. Its a wholesale place so things are only cheaper if you buy three pieces and above. Its a very big mall, we didnt manage to walk thru all the floors. But i think the only floors worth walking is the first and the 5th level. On the first floor, there are plenty of nice dresses and tops. The 5th level there are alot of accessories and bags. Bags here are abit more ex than Pratunam market but they are more trendy. The MUST buy thing here is bras! Nice designs at only 100 baht! I bought only 2, should have bought more, ha. After shopping, can go to their foodcourt at level 6 for food. Their mango sticky rice and crepe is nice!

4. Next up is the shopping centre next to the victory monument station. I forget whats the name of that shopping centre. Nice shoes at only 199 baht and nice shorts at only 100 baht can be found here! I bought a super big leather bag at only 220 baht here! There is a super long bridge leading from the train station and walk along that bridge to get to the shopping centre.

5. The next place i would recommend is the bugis like shopping centre linking from MBK center. Get out from the exit next to Watsons of the MBK center on the second floor. I think its called city complex or what. There are nice t-shirts and tops there but i feel the price is abit steep. But the quality of the t-shirts are certainly better than the ones u find in Pratunam market or Chatuchak.

6. Suan Luan Night bazzar. The night market starts at around 6 and its a place for lots of imitation products. The advice is to go there real early so that you can be their first customer. One of the vendor quote us 1200 baht for the Tiff & Co bracelet. I was thinking siao, so ex. That person ask us what price are we willing to pay. JJ said 450 baht. But i tried to walk away and that person say he would sell it to us at 400 baht. Ha, end up we bought one each. They have the belief that they must close the deal with the first customer if not they would be unlucky for the rest of the day. Must go for massage there, it only cost 250 baht for 1 hr! The "zi char" at the food area there is nice too!

7. MBK center - i think dun really have to waste time shopping there cos things here are ex unless you want to buy backpacks. They sell backpacks at only 199 baht on the first floor. They have plenty of winter wear too so can consider if u want to buy winter wear. The only thing i like here is Dairy Queen and Bobbin Basket ice cream, yummy!

8. Chatuchak weekend market - i dun like to shop here even thou i bought a super nice dress here. Shops here sell quite similar stuff and alot sell ornaments. So boring, i think my dad would love this place. We only use 1 day to finish walking the whole market. I wonder why some people can take 2 days. Shorts here are cheap but the quality is bad so dun buy here. But i think here will be a good shopping place for guys cos lots of addidas jackets, shoes and jerseys.

9. Baiyoke sky tower hotel - there is baiyoke garment center located there, full of clothes also, dun remember whether we bought anything there. BUT, we paid 200 baht each to get to the top of the hotel -83th floor to view the night scene of bangkok. For that price, we were each given a free drink. We ordered long island tea. I really enjoyed it man. Seating in the pub, listening to the live band, drinking my alcohol, chatting with jj and looking at the night scene outside. This is life man! Oh by the way, dun try their chicken satay, it taste horrible.

I hope to go back to bangkok soon!

Bangkok

2008-09-18T12:38:00.003+08:00

Will be flying to bangkok in a few hours time! Excited but abit afraid at the same time. Afraid bcos we cannot speak their language, dunno what to do if we got lost. Somemore, i sucks at reading maps! Ha, me and jj always do crazy things when we go overseas together. I think this time we better behave ourselves. You think we can? Ha, will know when we are back. See you guys!

lack of updates

2008-09-12T12:25:00.004+08:00

I am so sorry that i only provide for a full update of my taipei trip only now. I have been back from taiwan for two weeks plus and so many things have happened within this two weeks. Below is a brief summary:

1. I have went for an interview and received notice that i am given the offer. If nothing goes wrong, i will get the offer letter next week. I will really miss my colleagues alot esp those who went thru alot together with me!

2. Went back to work on 4th and 5th of Sep even thou i am supposed to be on leave as they are rushing for reporting. Manager Lee gave us a treat at Kushinbo to thank us for our efforts. At night, went to Vivo to meet wen, yee and xin for my birthday celebration. Yee forgot to bring my pressie, ha as usual.

3. Have an early celebration for my birthday with my sec sch pals on 6th Sep at ben's house. It was a join celebration as ben's birthday is on the 5th. But i feel so peiseh cos the buffet is paid by his parents. I dragged yee along and she passed me my pressie (super happy cos that pressie is super pretty and its what i ask her to buy, muahaha, see below pic for my present, its a highligter cum blusher) and my CFA books (super sian cos tons of reading to do). I also liked the present from zhen alot, its a DIY necklace and handphone chain. They are also super pretty, thanks zhen! And also the cucumber eye masks from kai and the rest, i think i really need them!

4. Went for buffet at Furama Riverfront with my parents for my birthday celebration. The food is good and the service is excellant. The only thing bad is i woke up super late that day and had a late breakfast so i wasnt even hungry when i went for the buffet. Daddy gave me the buffet club membership sub-card as my birthday present. He knows i love to eat buffet and with this card, i can get 20% discount at those paticipating buffets which include quite a few hotels. After eating, we went to shop at OG at bugis. I bought KOSE's eye cream at $61! So ex but then my mgr is using it and she say its super good. Moreover, alot of my friends told me that my eyebags are getting worse, so must really start doing treatment. Regret not buying it in taiwan!

5. My mentor grp pple really surprised me by buying a cake and old chang kee and celebrating my birthday for me at the pantry on 9th Sep. At that moment, i felt really touched and abit guilty. I really did not expect that at all! Thanks wai teng for organising and thanks for the bag u got me from bangkok! Went for engagement dinner at Amara Hotel that night and i can say the food there is really great! Kaoz, i think i am really a pig! Eat so many buffet within the two weeks.

6. Turned 23rd angrily on 10th Sep 08. I went back office to get partner to sign my exemption form even thou i am supposed to be at home. I decide to stay in office to work since i am already there. But ended up, i didnt manage to get a single thing of mine done cos i am helping to clear my previous job's EQUAR points. I dun mine helping to clear but what made me angry is i think those points are completely irrelevant and a waste of my time (even my senior agree). But, i still want to thank Ru, Wendy, Jiajing and Wei leong for giving me a treat at Sakae and buying me a cake from Secret Recipe on that day! I am so sorry that i am abit pissed off and ruin the atmosphere. Love you guys really alot, i couldnt imagine how my life in Deloitte will be like without u guys!

7. I have become addicted to the show "Fang Yang De Xin Xin" ever since i came back from taiwan cos i catched a few episodes of it there. It is really very nice! I bought the DVD right after i came back. Its starred by Lin Zhi Yin and a korean girl. After watching the show, i really feel like going to watch a live F1 show cos lin zhi ying is a F1 racer inside!

Back from taiwan (edited on 12 Sep)

2008-08-30T16:34:00.006+08:00

I am back! Didnt bought much things back this time cos there is nothing much to buy, abit disappointed. I still have 2100 NT left. I am calling an end to my trip to taiwan every year, ha, its getting boring. This time its really more of an eating trip bcos i spent most of the time eating. My itnerary is as below:

Day 1

Arrived at taipei airport at six plus (which is late) bcos the pilot overshot! This is the first time where i experienced a pilot u-turning the plane for the landing! Ha, at least he manage to land safely in the end. After that, we managed to catch the last bus of Freego to our hotel. Freego changed the way they operate, instead of fetching us straight to our hotel, we would have to change to take another bus at around taipei main station. This wasted quite some time and end up we reached our hotel at eight plus. Went for dinner at a jap restaurant in ximending straight after placing our luggage . Its ex, cost me $875 NT for two people and its not buffet style. But i would have to admit the food is nice! We saw a super cute toy poodle while shopping at xi men ding!

Day 2
Wanted to go for wen quan on the second day but due to the hot weather and after making our way up to the mountain areas, we feel so hot that we feel like gg for cold springs instead of hot springs. But anyway, we went to the museum and the magnificent hot spring valley.

My favorite drink in taiwan!

Day 3

The whole highlight of the trip is on this day where we made our way to jay's restaurant. The address is 250 Wu Xing street . Its inside the medical university. Even thou we took a cab there but we still have to walk inside cos its quite ulu. Anyway, ask those friendly taiwanese, they will surely guide you to the place. The place is crowded man. Personally, i feel that the food is not fantastic but the ambience is good for me as a jay fan. Jay even left his golden horse award there!

After having lunch at mr jay's restaurant, we went shopping at wu fen pu. After shopping for a few hrs, we went to eat pao pao bing! I think it taste the same as Monster Ice and its much cheaper!

Day 4

Basically, i think we did nothing much on thurs. The only thing i can remember is we went to SOGO to eat din tai fung and we shopped at the underground mall. I LOVE Taipei's din tai fung! Its cheap and fabulous! It really taste much much nicer than the ones in Singapore! My sis almost kill me when eating cos when i bite the xiao long bao, the juice inside spilled out and landed on her clothes, hahaha. Oh ya, we went to do manicure on that day too at shilin night market. Its very cheap as compared to singapore's. I did mine for only 590 NT (less than S$30) and i got four crystals on every finger. So sad, i took them all out shortly after i came back to Singapore as i went for an interview on the wed after i came back.

Michael Phelps!

2008-08-17T15:29:00.002+08:00

Recently, my work has been shit. Okay, i am going to whine about my work again, i hate to whine but i really feel uncomfortable if i dun whine. Have been working late for the past few days bcos we are rushing the conso for the partner to review. The client has been taking MC for the past few days and we have no one to turn to when we got queries. The thing i hate about conso is about classification. We have to spend hours trying to figure out the classification esp when the client is not around and the overseas auditor's FS is like shit. When i say its shit, its really shit! They just lump all expenses under other operating expenses and all income under other income. And they actually have no notes to account for their profit and loss statement at all.

Work from around 10am yesterday to 2am this morning trying to figure out where the client has gone wrong in their consolidation entries, filling in the FS and clearing EQUAR pts. On Friday, me and my senior actually worked until 4 pm before we had our lunch. Ended up what we got was still scolding from the manager. I admit we had oversight on our part but i simple hate it when he say : "what has u all been doing for the whole day?" If not for the change he want to make at the last min, which make us have to reprint everything and reperform all our work again, we would not have made that mistake too. Sometimes i really feel why am i so stupid to skip meals for my work. Nobody appreciate it anyway.

And everyone in office thought i got EE (exceed expectations which is a performance indicator equivalent to an 'A' in exams). People who got EE gets $100 more for their monthly salary I think. I dun really care about the $100 more but its a signal of the company's appreciation for yr efforts. To me, getting an 'A' in exams is seriously much easier than getting EE here. For exams, i have everything under my own control. But here, it seem so hard to get people's appreciation and it often have to depends on the two words "guan xi". Kang jian ask me whether i feel that the company let me down for not giving me EE. Actually, as long as the managers and partners praise us for our work and say thank you when we slog for them, i feel that that is enough. But so far, i only hear one manager saying that to us. The rest just take it for granted which make me really damn pissed off.

Woke up at 10am to watch Michael Phelps won his 8th gold medal! That match was simply exciting ! They almost lost to the Aussies. Tonight is Singapore's table tennis match, i hope they win but i still hope that one day, it will be really Singapore born Singaporeans bringing us the glory.

Excited

2008-08-10T10:47:00.009+08:00

Celebrated zhen's birthday at tony roma recently. Zhen wanted an "experience" as her birthday present and kai really gave her (actually us) an experience. U will know what it mean through the photos below:

I am so excited about my taiwan trip!!! U guys must be thinking i am siao, this is my fifth time gg to taiwan so what is there to be excited about? BUT I AM EXCITED bcos i am gg to jay's restaurant in taipei! It is located in the middle of the Taipei medical faculty university! That place is totally goregeous!

The piano used inside bu neng shuo de mi mi!!

jay and his staff! So good, they can wear that nice uniform!

post off peak party photos

2008-08-01T00:19:00.002+08:00

Thanks to ru, i got all these photos from her friendster website. Oh my, i think all of us look so gorgeous here, muahaha.

Class gathering

2008-07-29T22:15:00.002+08:00

On sat, i went to health club for my appointment and after that i went to Yishun to collect my bags which i bought online. Went home after that and i really feel like not moving and just lie on my sofa but i decided to for my class gathering at lot one in the end. I thought the turn up will be the same usual old people but i am surprised! See so many friends which i have not seen for a long time! I am really glad that i went for the gathering and thanks haojun for organizing!

I watched er zhuo ju 2 wen dvd the previous night until 2 am. There was a scene where zhi shu (zhen yuan chang) asked xiang qing (ariel lin) to give up the idea of being a nurse as she is facing alot of difficulties and unhappiness during her attachment in the hospital. But xiang qing refused and said she is not someone who likes to give up so easily. At that moment, i have exactly the same thought as xiang qing! I am not someone who likes to give up easily and so i am going to continue with my work. But dear friends, ha, i know myself too well. I will continue to whine even though i have made the decision to stay so please bear with me! Oh my, i miss Yani so much cos she is my whining kah kee, hahaha.

Its time to start studying for my CFA too! I have not touched the books except for storybooks for a long time. Hope i am able to catch up with the momentum!

我不明白。。。

2008-07-25T21:05:00.002+08:00

A couple still in love with each other but separated due to some reasons. Why? Can't things be worked out? Fate is cruel, its often A like B but B like C. Then why separate when A like B and B also like A? I really dun understand...

walk from nus to harbourfront

2008-07-20T21:03:00.024+08:00

I was supposed to wake up at 6.30 am to give the rest a morning call but i ended up jumping out of my bed at 7.30 am when my mum walked into my room. By the time we reached NUS to begin our journey, it was already 10 am. Well, we got lost in NUS for quite some time trying very hard to find out where Kent Ridge Park is. For the rest of the walk, it was actually quite easy and we managed to reach harbourfront at 2pm! Yeah, all within our budgeted time and feel a deep sense of acheivement! But my legs ache like hell now, too long nvr exercise le!

During the whole trip, the most frightening thing happen at the henderson waves. I was trying to take photo of ru and a monkey. But the monkey refuse to look at our way. We tried very hard to catch its attention but when it turn towards our direction, it started to walk. So ru begin to walk too so that i can take the photo but the monkey was very angry that we are following it so it opened its mouth and leaped towards ru!!! Kaoz, it seems really angry and wanted to bite ru. Lucky ru moved fast ! But the monkey leap towards jiajing's direction. It really "flew" right pass jiajing, i think almost touching her but its lucky that its sharp claws nvr reach her. What an unfriendly monkey...

the best book i ever read

2008-07-12T11:46:00.002+08:00

Alot of friends have recommended the book "Tuesdays with Morrie" to me. It is only until now that i have finally went to kino to get the book and read it. At first, i thought it would be like other literature books that i have studied in my JC life where you have to read a few times before knowing what exactly the writer wants to say. But this is not the case for this book. The language is simple, no use of flowery or chim techniques like pun or what have not and the meaning is clear. It is about an old man, a young man and life's greatest lesson. At the end of the book, i broke into a big cry and i felt much better after that. I cried not only for Morrie who died in the end in the book, i also cried for my senior and friend's brother who passed away recently. I think this is one of the greatest lesson which i have learned from this book : ".. detachment doesnt mean you dont let it penetrate you fully. That's how you are able to leave it..."

traumatised

2008-07-09T00:25:00.002+08:00

I went to my senior's wake yesterday and i almost cried when i heard from the other colleagues what were the last words of my senior. Do you guys know what she say? She actually asked her bf to email all her work to the manager and partner. I feel so sad after that bcos even upon her death, she is still thinking about work. Is it worth it? I seriously dun think so. I dunno why but i find myself shaking uncontrollably at the wake yesterday and for the whole of today, i got no mood to work at all. All that I could think of is the sacrifice is too big. Everyone ask me whether my senior's parents hated our company. I seriously dunno cos i did not even see her parents at the wake. Everything was handled by her bf. From tmr onwards, i will be on leave until the end of next week. I think i seriously need a break from work, hope no one will call me to go back to office to work even though my leave has been approved.

shock and sad

2008-07-06T21:52:00.002+08:00

I am shocked and sad to hear that one of the seniors in my grp has passed away. I am on the same job as her just one month ago and suddenly she is gone. She was just being promoted, she has not even get her first senior's pay and she is gone. It is scary. My friend's brother just passed away too. Why is so many people dying in their twenties and for no particular reason? I was thinking did my senior has any regret or anything that she wanted to do so much but have no time to do when she die? If i were to die now, i surely have alot of regrets. There are so many things that i have not done yet, so many things in the world that i want to see and experience. My greatest wish now is that everyone around me will stay healthy, safe and alive...

super tired

2008-07-04T17:04:00.002+08:00

GOT GOOD NEWS! YEAH! This year they will be giving more bonus to A10, happy but dunno how much more. I hope its 1.5 mth but liping say most prob is 1.25 mths. Heard from my A11 that EY giving 2.75 mths bonus this yr. Kaoz, why didnt i go to EY, i must be a pig man. Why do i always regret on the decisions that i made?

Really enjoyed myself alot during the off peak party at zouk. We were really high man! It was the first time i feel a sense of belonging to the company. Ha, drunk alot of different alcohol that day, shots, red wine, white wine, vodkha and beer. Ms jj drank 8 shots, after that she cannot walk in a straight line, so funny! And the buffet was really nice esp the brownie! Alot of people puke cos they drank too much. I think i very funny, my mind seems clearer after i drank! Then, the following day i went to my dad's company anniversary and i drunk red wine again, i think i am becoming a "jiu gui" soon. My dad's company is cool man, they got this ktv system in their pantry and got alot of new songs inside! Besides, ktv, they still got pool table, darts and soccer table.

I am super tired this week cos i am at shit yard and i work till 1-2 am everyday. Finally finished the stupid WIP but sure alot of review pts. Next wed onwards i am on leave, cant wait to leave this place.

Dilemma

2008-06-25T23:03:00.005+08:00

Went bbq and stayed over night at Pasir Ris Park last sat with my dear deloitte friends. Really feel relaxed and happy when i am with them. We even pitched a tent , it has been ages since i pitched a tent. This make me think of guides days.

On tues, i went Southern Ridges with my mentor group. My senior is so funny! After walking for only 1km, she keep on asking us how long more are we going to walk. Then after that when we reach harbourfront MRT, she dun even care about her image and just seat on the floor. She is so cute! After the walk, we went to M Hotel to have hotpot buffet. I didnt really eat much cos after the walk, partner treated us to starbucks and i had one big cup of Mocha. But the dessets at M Hotel is nice, i like their cakes!

But today is a super sian day. I am alone with my MIC at client's place. I try to talk super nicely to the client bcos i dun want to kenna scolding from the client as i clear other pple's shit. I simply hate to clear other pple's shit! Today i asked my MIC what i will be doing tml and i am surprised he gave me the answer : "shit -yard" Ha, how he know i always say shit yard instead of ship yard. Maybe he heard it from my dear mayjin. I missed mayjin so much, no more new gossips after not seeing her for so long. Hope everything is okay for u ger!

I really feel like tendering, the only thing that is holding me back is my colleagues, i love most of them bcos they are such nice people to work with! But everytime i think of the shit i am doing, the pay i am getting and the hours i am working, i think i am simply stupid to carry on. Asked MIC about bonus today and he said most prob one mth pro-rated (so idiot one day also want to pro rate) and maybe dun even have bonus. If no bonus, i will tender immediately after clearing all my leave. Huiru asked me a very interesting question : "Did i regret coming into Deloitte or did i regret going into audit?" I realised i dun even have the answer myself! I think its bidirectional.

Touched

2008-06-19T20:39:00.002+08:00

I am touched when my client still remember my chinese name even though i have not seen them for a year. I am touched when they say that i have grown up. I am touched when they ask whether i am happy. Going back isnt as bad as it seems after all.

Nightmares

2008-06-18T22:01:00.000+08:00

Why do i keep having nightmares nowadays?

Horror movies

2008-06-15T12:23:00.003+08:00

Watched alot of horror movies which i wanted to watch last time recently but to my dismay, alot is not scary at all. Maybe bcos my house' sound system not good enough.

Missing
Watched this movie in the cinema with my sis. Thought it will really be a very scary movie just like The Eye 1 bcos the female lead is lee xin jie but this show turn out to be simply dumb bcos whatever that happen in the show turns out to be pure imagination by the female lead. Furthermore, there isnt any really horror scenes inside.

SAW II
I bought this dvd from AMK Hub. They are having clearance sale so i bought it for only 7 bucks. This movie is not scary but gruesome bcos of the way the people die inside. But i pretty like this movie bcos it is more realistic.

Wishing stairs
This movie is being aired by Channel U on friday night. The plot is rather stupid and it is really not scary at all since i did not use my hands to cover my eyes thru out the show. But the show "premonition" that is going to be shown on Channel U this coming Friday seems rather nice.

Stay Alive
Heard from Cass very long ago that this movie is nice so i rent the DVD. Well, the plot is okay but i think it will be more scary if i watch it in the movie theatre.

Really got a deep sense of achievement to watch four movies within one week!

Wedding at Hyatt

2008-06-13T09:27:00.002+08:00

I think i am losing the momentum. I was on leave this week but went back office yesterday to help my senior to clear some stuff. I feel so irritated working even though i work only until 7pm. Kaoz, whats wrong with me. I think going on too much leave makes one dun feel like working at all. Next week will be a busy week cos the stupid listed co which is my first engagement job is starting again. Oh my, my manager is so "funny" that day. He is so excited when he saw me in office and he said to me : " Keat Wee! Our favorite job is starting again soon!" I simply dunno what to reply, yeah "favorite" job, this is the job i hate most besides shit yard. And shit yard is starting again also cos need to do limited review, omg, my nightmare starts again!

This sunday is my seniors' wedding le! They asked me to help out at the reception. Even though i dunno what i am suppose to do but i guess it will be quite fun, haha, can see if there are any handsome guys.

Going to M Hotel for my mentor dinner on the 24th of June. Heard from Huifang the buffet there is nice, yeah, looking forward to that!

Abandoned

2008-06-08T17:01:00.003+08:00

So sian, all of my close friends are overseas these few weeks! Yee has went Vietnam, Jiajing, hui ru, cass, kailin also all in Vietnam. Wai Teng is in taiwan. Oh my, i feel like i am being abandoned in Singapore. I really want to get my butt out of Singapore too but the stupid air tix are simply too ex. It actually costs 400+ to take jetstar to Taipei. Kaoz, i used to pay only 200+, thats like double! I will go if my pay also double. Do you think so? Fat hope.

Have a meeting with the partner tml morning. He say he dun have a specific agenda so i also dunno whats the point of meeting. I hate the word "meeting", its always wasting time with no output in the end. Do you think they will increase my pay if i tell them i find my pay is too little? It will be a miracle if they really does.

Went to Parris buffet restaurant at Marina Square with my family today. The food there is not bad and the price is reasonable. I tried raw oysters for the first time! I almost vomitted, kaoz, the taste is disgusting. My mum kept insisting it was delicious and she actually ate alot. But, the tempura there is really nice! They have quite a variey of stuff, ranging from sushi, hong kong dim sum, black pepper crab, all kinds of shell food to a wide variety of cakes. Their cakes are delicious but their choco fondue is below standard.

Anyone know of any other places with nice buffet to recommend? I am tasked by my senior to find a place for my mentor dinner. I went to alot of places to eat before but there isnt anyplace which i find fantastic. If you guys know of any fantastic place, please let me know, thanks.

Guardian angel

2008-06-04T21:51:00.002+08:00

Was watching the programme "Guradian Angel" aired on Channel U. It was about a boy who have diabetes and he dropped out of his JC as his teachers and even principal of the JC are so unsympathetic to his illness. He slept during class as he gets tired very easily. Instead of trying to help him, his teacher actually scolded him and ask him not to waste everybody's time. I feel like slapping that stupid teacher but i feel like slapping the principal even more. The principal actually told the boy's mother : "Your son had to change. Our school will not change for him." Kaoz, slappable right? What kind of shit principal is this? Judging from the sch uniform he wore in the show, it seems like this "wonderful" JC is ACJC. After he dropped out of sch, no other JC is willing to take him in but one day, the principal of PJC called to say that they are willing to let him continue his studies there. With a wonderful principal and considerate teachers, the boy passed his A'levels with flying colors. From here, we can see how impt the role of teachers are. Hope that all of my friends who are becoming teachers will become a caring and considerate teacher.

slacking

2008-05-31T22:34:00.001+08:00

Slacking away this week... I want to go overseas!

bad mood

2008-05-25T11:19:00.002+08:00

I think i am a spolit brat. I am having mood swings. I hate it when those stupid brainless people who only know how to talk cock or are pretty earn more money than me. Life is super duper unfair. BUT, i am already very lucky. As compared to alot of other people who are having financial difficulties, i am already considered very well off. OH my, but i cant help feeling unhappy or jealous i would say. What is wrong with me? Can someone give me one tight slap?

2008-05-19T11:52:00.007+08:00

Watched this movie with my sis on sat. The plot is predictable but i still think it is a nice show. One of the reasons is of cos Jin Cheng Wu is such an eye candy. He looks so boyish and young inside the movie and the way he speaks Japanese is so mezmerizing. I would say this show is funny and touching too and it sets you thinking about death. I totally agree with one of the lines said by the female lead: " The sun is not special but it is important and can be very beautiful just like the way our lives are." I did not regret watching this show even though i was seating at the third row and my neck hurts after the show. Saw alot of old couples watching the show, so sweet...

High tea buffet with Suyee, Swee yen, Liping and Jiajing at Intercontinental on sunday. The ambience and food is not bad but not fantastic though. But at least i had a good time catching up with the gals. After that, we went to shop around Bugis street but no one bought anything. I hate to shop when its too crowded, just make me have no mood to buy anything. Then, we went to National library cos ping wanted to return books. Me and boss were busy chatting in the library instead of looking at books and enjoying the air con. The two SYs leave thereafter while the rest of us went to TCC to have some drinks. We actually seat there and talk for hours and we keep visiting the washroom cos we dunno drink how many cups of ice water as we were chatting. At around nine thirty or ten, we went coffee shop to eat prata for our dinner, so funny. Its the first time i had prata when i am in bugis. It was really a nice and relaxing day, if only everyday can be like that.

holidays ending

2008-05-17T10:27:00.003+08:00

One week passes by so fast! I feel as if i am still a student where my one week holiday is ending and i have to go back to school again, ha. I dun even have the time to "nua" at home. Everyday go out go out, so tiring.

Monday
Went to banks to settle on my investment plans. As an auditor, this is really very troublesome. There are alot of good plans that we cannot take up cos we are auditing those blue chip companies whose stocks the interest rates are based on. Met dearie Glory at Westmall's coffee bean as she is studying for her exams there. Talk to her for a while and we all realise how old we are getting, haha. Cheers to our 11 years of friendship, you are the only primary sch friend that i still keep in contact with and jiayou dear for yr exams!

Tuesday
Shopping with my mum and sis at chinatown, wanted to get some dresses which i can wear to work. BUT, the clothes there really cannot make it, i think they will close down sooner or later just like ICON at bugis. My mum went to trim her eyebrow and dye her hair so me and my sis sat outside OG and waited for her. I ate my favorite mint one dollar ice cream sold by the ice cream uncle. Oh, talking abt ice cream uncle, me and my sis keep asking my dad to sell ice cream after he retire. Then, we will laugh about how my dad will eat more than what he sell, hahaha. Okay, back to the thing i am trying to say. As me and my sis were seating outside OG, we were so disgusted by those china women!!! All dress up like sluts and holding the hands of some "ah peks". I really feel like puking after seeing them. I really dun understand those "ah peks". Are you all really so desperate? Maybe after many years down the road, i will see that one of the "ah peks" is someone that i know. Gosh, i couldnt imagine...

Wednesday
Treatment at Health Club continues. I got bruises on my legs bcos the massager is really huge and the force is really great! But no pain no gain, this kind of pain i can still tolerate. Staff there are all so jealous of me when they heard that i am on one week's leave. They wouldnt be jealous of me if they know what time i work until everyday for period from Nov 2007 to April 2008 and how many sat and sun i spend working also. I want to clear all my leave, i still got 5 more weeks of leave to clear!

Thursday
After treatment at Health Club, went to Junction 8 to get something for yee. On my way there, someone dropped her stupid Nokia phone on my toes! Kaoz, it is so damn pain can. I know she did not do it on purpose so i am not angry with her. But i was cursing how come the Nokia phone is so hard. I still must act as if it is not pain at all in order not to make the poor gal feel bad. I think i deserve some best actress award.

Friday
Met up with yee to pass her her belated bday present. We bought her a burberry perfume. Oh btw, can someone enlighten me on how to pronounce the word? Is it "bur-berry" or is it " bur-be-rry"? My sis insist its the first one while i heard some other people pronounce it as the second one. As for me, i am confused, ha. Her sayang (bf) also joined us and its always so entertaining to see how yee bully her bf.

General
Bought two bags online, cant wait for them to come!

Mother's day

2008-05-11T22:32:00.002+08:00

I got so many things to update you guys! The most importantly is next week i am on one week leave, yippie! Can ask me out if you all are free!

Firstly, would like to congragulate my seniors Serena and Vincent who will be getting married in June! They are so efficient man, Vincent proposed in May and they are holding their wedding dinner in June at Grand Hyatt. I am so happy for them but most probably, Serena will be sent to another grp cos husband and wife cannot be in the same grp, so sad!

Oh ya, i joined Mediacorp artiste's Jacelyn Tay's Health Club for my slimming sessions. The package costs me a bomb and my heart really ache when i made the payment. But after seeing Jacelyn in real life and listening to the advices that she give me and undergoing several treatments, i guess it was rather worth it. It was not solely a slimming thing but rather more focused on improving yr general health condition. Oh gosh, my health is really like shit and i feel so disgusted looking at my deformed red blood cells. But anyway, i was looking at Jacelyn's face most of the time when she was doing the blood analysis for me cos she is really very pretty and her complexion is very good! Shall take photo with her and show u guys if i have the chance the next time.

After undergoing my treatments at Health Club, i met up with my cousins at AMK Hub for preparation of our Mother's Day celebration BBQ. It was so good to meet up with all my cousins and have a family gathering. It has been ages since we have a family gathering like that. Emicakes's durian cake is lovely! We called our cousin in America and everyone of us talk to her. I am so sad for her when she told me that she dreamt that she came back to singapore which she called "jia" almost everyday. I almost cried when i was on the phone with her. I really admire her courage, to give up everything in Singapore to go with her husband to America. Miss her alot, cant wait for her to come back in Oct to attend her brother's wedding. By then, we can have a full strength family gathering again. When we were bbq-ing, my cousin keep singing Mayday's song with the lyrics "xiao3 shi2 hou4". All of us missed the days where we were still kids, so fun, no worries, everyday just play, play and play. At night, i stayed over at my cousin's house and we watched Jack Neo's movie featuring Fann Wong and Lee Guo Huang. It is a funny but stupid show. Hmm, can you believe it? i have not stepped into the cinema for ages. I cannot even remember what was the last movie i watched in the cinema. Isnt that pathetic? What kind of work life balance do i have?

I am considering going back to study. I want to do CFA or Masters degree. But i will surely fail my CFA if i continue to stay in Audit. So its time to look for a new job but i really hate the process of looking. Ha, think i am too 'nua' already. Its time to get the motivation back and move on!

cant get to sleep

2008-04-20T01:59:00.002+08:00

I cant get to sleep cos i drank a glass of yuan yang during dinner just now. As i was tossing on my bed, i suddenly feel like getting married. Ha, think i am crazy, just feel that getting married should be quite fun. Who want to marry me? Hahahaha....

Met up with dear kai on friday night. It has been a long time since i met up with her. Its always so nice to talk her. I missed the old days when we were in sec 3 and 4 where we sat next to each other. Before meeting up with her, i am still scared that i might not have things to talk about with her cos she might not understand the audit lingo. But, after i met her, i realise we still got alot of things to talk about that is outside of audit.

My senior brought me and another colleague around JB last sat. Had great fun shopping and eating there. My senior actually plan to bring us to around four places but end up we only went two places cos we spend too long shopping in holiday plaza. Next time we will go to JUSCO to shop, heard that it is a much bigger and newer shopping mall.

One of the seniors in my mentor grp tendered and i really think he should. He work so hard everyday, sometimes even stayed overnight in the office. End up what he got for his appraisal is still a MSE (meet some expectations). What kind of logic is this? I dun understand. Now i realise in this world, it does not matter how you get there, people are only interested in the end product. Even if you put in yr fullest effort to do something, as long as the end product is not what they want, they condemn you. YES, this is how the world works. MISS HONG KEAT WEE, welcome to the reality world. No matter how much you hate it, its the reality and you can do nothing to change it.

Betrayal

2008-04-06T10:18:00.002+08:00

I borrowed the korean show "Qing wa wang zi bai jin nu" from my senior and finished watching it yesterday. I really hate one of the female character named "Dashun" inside. Kaoz, she's that kind who appear so kind and innocent in front of other people but is indeed the most evil one, going around back stabbing other people. This remind me of the painful incident several years back where i am back stabbed by my own best friend. I can still remember exactly what that feeling is like and can still feel the pain as i recall that moment when another friend break the truth to me.

After watching the show, i suddenly wonder how many "Dashun" are there in my office? I always like to whine and complain and basically my mouth works faster than my brain even when i am talking to seniors. I treat them as friends rather as seniors and tell them exactly what i think and plan to do. Will they back stab me too by telling the partners or mgrs what i tell them? Actually, its fine with me for that information to get to the ears of mgrs or partners but its the betrayal that is hurting. Someone once told me that seniors and assistants can nvr be true friends. I hope this is not true.

On thursday night, went for my engagement dinner at Grand Shanghai of Grand Corpthorne hotel. It is such a disappointment! The food is not fantastic and the bill came up to be $600+ for 10 people. Siao right? Most of us are still hungry after that meal. I seriously wonder whats wrong with rich people. With only 300+, we could have ate much better and nicer food. I kept on complaining to my senior, ha, i think she cannot stand me. The previous time my mentor dinner was buffet at cafe brios of Grand Corpthorne, that meal was much better and also cheaper. Its okay. I still got two more engagement dinners. Ha, my senior promise to bring us to "wu zhao pai" to eat seafood, yeah!

A better life

2008-03-21T14:24:00.002+08:00

I have been relatively slack these few weeks. Even though i still work till twelve plus at home everyday, the pace now is much slower. I sort of like this kind of feeling bcos i know exactly what i am doing. Has been auditing in Suntec for the last four days, have been wanting to go shopping and i finally do so yesterday. But to my disappointment, the dress which i have been eyeing for at bysi have been sold out! Oh my buddha, should have walk into that shop earlier! But i did not go home empty handed. I bought a red top and red three quarters at Mango which cost me $100+. I think i am crazy but i really like them alot and the material is really good cos its very comfortable to wear. Strangely, my mum did not nag at me for buying such ex clothing. Everything seems to be damn ex yesterday. A simple bag at Aldo actually costs $105! With just $75 bucks more, i can buy a Armani exchange bag! I miss my AX client, have been with them for the past three weeks that we are such good friends now. One of them is in taiwan now, hope my advice to her for her taiwan trip is useful! I feel like going back taiwan! I miss taipei so much!

Have been discussing with my guy colleague -Kang jian on changing jobs. Ha, seems like this is always a topic to discuss. Both of us are interested in going to financial analysis. But its not easy getting in cos they always want someone with experience. Furthermore, i dun have a CFA. Seriously, a CFA is much more impt to me than CPA. Most of kang jian's female friends in our company are okay with the amount of pay they are getting. Am i the weird one here? I seriously think we are underpaid.

Have been reading my friends' blogs and i realised that so many of my friends are facing dilemmas in their lives! I just hope to say jiayou to all of you all and hope that u all make the correct decisions !

Tml watching the movie rule 1! I have not step into the cinema for quite some time le, happy!

Pissed off

2008-03-01T23:54:00.003+08:00

I got something to tell you guys, dun ever go to "XXX" steamboat shop at liang seah street to eat. The food there is not bad but the service sucks. I simply dun understand why restaurants nowadays like to hire those china workers. I had to ask them three times for my bowl of rice and two times for my green tea. By the time my green tea come, i have almost finish eating my food. And they keep giving us the wrong orders! Oh my buddha, so pissed off!

Regret

2008-02-24T21:23:00.002+08:00

My dearest cousins...

My biggest regret in 2008 is not attending jay's concert!!! Oh my buddha, i have heard so many saying how fantastic the concert was. And i being a crazy fan of him actually did not went for his concert. I am so angry with myself! Oh mine, i wonder when will he come for a concert again?

I am deeply obsessed with the show er zhuo ju 2 wen now, it is fantastic! I simply love zhen yuan chang inside the show, he is so so handsome! I hate him in er zhuo ju 1 cos his hair sucks but now he is so so handsome. Just now went KTV with yee and xin ying and we were so crazy and excited toking abt that show!

happy new year

2008-02-07T23:29:00.000+08:00

My DKNY watch, stupid sis make my hand look so fat in the pic...

Cam whoring at my ah ma house My cute angbao i bought myself for my mum to give me!

I was working on the new year eve but practically i got no mood to work at all. Wanted to go do manicure after my work but i arrived too late and the salesperson say they dun accept any more customers, arggh, super pissed off with somebody who ask me do work while he himself went back so early without telling us. End up i have to do the manicure myself which is super irritating.

Today had a nice gathering with my cousins, love to catch up with them and we have even fixed a meeting for BBQ in May. Why May? Cos i took one week leave in May, ha then can stay over at my cousin's place.

Ha, my cousin who is getting married gave me a carrer talk today. He think i am really earning too little and audit is really not suitable for me in the long term. He ask me a question which i have no answer for myself. What do i want to be in the long term? I really dunno. I want to be a teacher but not so soon. I still wanna to be in the corporate world for some time. But should i go try for product control in banks or strategic planner which can fetch me $4k per mth? Will i like those job scope? I really dunno and i am so lazy to go for those many rounds of interviews. I think its time for me to do some reading. Besides audit, it seems that i really dunno anything else.

That same cousin of me is really so cute. Besides my career, he is very concerned abt my love life as well. He actually want to introduce me the brother of his wife-to-be to me (keep telling me that guy is very handsome..) He even ask me to go attend his ROM so that he can matchmake us. I find this so funny. Ha, i think he seems more concerned about my life than me myself do. But really glad that i have such a caring cousin, if only i had a brother like him...

getting used

2008-02-03T13:58:00.000+08:00

Our gossip sessions admist the peak period...

I am getting used to working late, getting used to sleeping late but i am not getting used to not having the time to do what i want to do. I used to exercise at least 3 times a week but now i would thank buddha if i get to go at least once. Conclusion: AUDIT IS BAD FOR HEALTH! Even though my two previous engagements are all very xiong but at least i am happy to work with terrific team mates which make my life much happier. I want to thank them individually here:

"Shit" yard engagement team mates:

Yi Lin: Thanks for being with me thru out the "shit" yard engagement from planning all the way up till finals. I enjoyed working with u alot and sorry that u have to help me clear my review points for the P/L sections! I know the bonus part is a nightmare, thanks!

Valerie: Thanks for yr encouragement thru out the job! If not for yr encouragement, i would have really thrown my resignation letter. Hope that u can find a much better job!

Shimin: Even thou u are not together with us during finals, i still want to thank you for making interims such an enjoyable one with yr funny and lame jokes. Hope that u are doing well in the bank!

May Jin: Really happy that TLK ask u to come over to help us even thou i know its a terror for u! Ha, hope we can work together again then we can gossip again, muahaha.

Yen Lin: Yr bickering with TLK really make the engagement much more fun! You are a nice senior, jiayou! I know u got the potential to move on to AM!

Liang Kwang: Thanks for all the treats u have given us when we are on the job. Never do i have the chance of getting hungry when i am on the job and thanks for letting me have the chance to do balance sheet items.

"Handphone" engagement team mates

Yuan Li and Yani: Ha, will always remember how crazy and excited we are when our cab pass by orchard at 2 am in the morning! Enjoy the complains that we have together when we are on the cab home. Enjoy chionging till 4 am in office together with you guys!

Mayjin: Really admire you when u decide to continue working with us even though u are sick and vomitted that day. If i am you, i will surely take MC.

Sie Yong: So far u are the only senior which i dun feel stress working with at all. Ha, will always remember yr deferred tax liability joke!

Poh Ling: Thanks for teaching me alot of things and thinking so well of me. Hope i have not fail to meet yr expectations.

the worst dec i had

2008-01-01T19:14:00.000+08:00

I am tired with my life, with my work, with the people around me, with the things i hear about my good friend. Are we still good friends? In my heart, we are but i dunno how you feels. I find it hard to accept the negative things i have heard from others about you. I got the urge to hear the truth from yr own mouth but am i not supposed to know abt this at all?

Meanwhile, my life is work, work, work and work. Sometimes, i really feel like just throwing my resignation letter. Simply cannot stand some pple around me!

shopping craze

2007-12-15T20:08:00.001+08:00

My fav pple in deloitte!

I am on a shopping spree today and it feels really great! I bought a guess wallet, a dress, a pair of jeans, treated my sis and mum to waraku and bought Monopoly. Muahaha, can you believe it? Its the first board game I have ever since i am born! Spent two hundred plus within a day, omg, really is earn money hard, spend money easy. I am aiming for a DKNY watch!!!

Toking abt work, i am on a really shit job this week. The job is shit cos everyday we work until 9 plus and my senior actually ask us not to claim too much ot. What the F***? My pay is already so low and u dun allow me to claim ot. I am not scared of working late but i just feel that i should get what i deserve. The job is also shit bcos of the client, really hate those pple there! Unfriendly, not helpful, look down on us as auditors. I cannot find their invoices for my testing and they actually tell me they will not help me to find it. Really is ... I was practically dumbfounded when i heard her say that. Fine, its okay, i will issue MLP then (meaning to complain to their management). I cannot believe that i still have to go back there for 3 weeks in Jan, really ming ku!

Next week i am on another shit job. That job is shit bcos of the tight deadline. Have to work on public holidays and weekends most probably. As long as i can claim ot for that, i dun mind working. Hope they dun ask us to reverse out our ot in the end.

a boring life

2007-12-01T16:01:00.000+08:00

Nothing much to blog about cos life is really boring, work, work and still work. Yesterday was our company's dinner and dance, thought it was something to look forward to. But it is simply boring!!! And the food sucks even thou it was held in ritz carlton. So dear friends, plz dun hold yr wedding dinner there cos i may not feel like attending if it is there.

I love the christmas decoration in town! But sadly, i will spend my christmas this year in my client place. This is the first time in my life that i dread Dec, i always love dec when i was a student. But this yr, i hate it cos the shit is starting, urrrghhh!

Getting accustomed to the pple around me leaving. But, my grp is really pathetic, almost all the seniors are leaving. The pple who are left behind have to pick up the shit, kaoz, it is not as if they give the pple who leave behind more pay. I seriously think i should be paid more for the amount of work i am doing. I am doing work everyday after i reach home from client place at around eight plus. Kaoz, no life right? Tahan until next yr after i get my bonus and shoo, off i go. Cant wait for nxt yr to come!

demoralised

2007-11-11T11:23:00.000+08:00

I am so so demoralised, i dun feel like working anymore. People around me are leaving one by one. My first job senior left in the middle of the job, my second job senior left right after that job, my third job senior gave short notice and left last week, my fourth job senior has already tendered and will be leaving in Dec. Even A11s which i enjoy working with are leaving one by one. It so damn sad. This make me remember what my first job's mgr told me. Good workers who are overwhelmed by the workload quit to leave behind the shitty workers. How true is that? I hope i dun have to work with those shitty people who will throw everything to the assistants. My schedule for the coming peak is so damn er xin, right from the start of Dec to the end of April, non-stop at all. I will try hard to pull thru, jiayou, jiayou, jiayou!

busy

2007-10-28T09:53:00.000+08:00

Have been quite busy for the past one week. I thought i will be able to slack in office next week before the start of my xiong job next next week but due to unforeseen circumstances, my job this week will drag on to next week, sian! Last week i even arrange to go to gym together with jiajing next week but haiz...Auditors can nvr make appointments too early cos they will end up not being able to fulfill them in the end. But next week is still a week i look forward to cos i am going for buffet at waterfront hotel with my mentor grp on wed (sure can go cos partner also gg, muahaha) and buffet at fort canning legends with my uni clique on sat. Ha, i look forward to the good food!

irritating clients

2007-10-20T12:59:00.000+08:00

Arggh, my present client is so irritating! They dun even respect us as auditors at all. Ask them for documents, they keep dragging and ask us why we need it. Kaoz, we need for our own reasons la, still must explain to u all why we need it meh? That person actually slam the file in front of me when i discover their errors, kaoz, yr own fault still dare to throw yr temper in front of me. Arggh, i miss my previous clients!

luxury

2007-10-14T10:04:00.000+08:00

Went to Marriott hotel for high tea buffet with liping and jiajing yesterday! It cost $39 per person, its ex but the ambience and food is good. There are quite a variety of food. Sushi, tarts, cakes, chinese food, rojak, jelly, kuehs and etc. But we are so full before we can even finish the food we got during the first round! Ha, during the sch days when i walk pass the hotel, i often wonder when will the day come where i can seat inside and eat. Ha, and yesterday was the day and all three of us was totally high and excited! The next place that we want to go for high tea will be legends at fort canning hill!

I was telling jiajing i want to buy a titus watch which cost 300+ yesterday but i bu4 she3 de2 to spend the money. But to my horror, i realise that my fossil watch which has been with me for three years plus has been officially declared dead. Even thou it can be considered fully depreciated and hence there will not be any loss on disposal, i still feel very sad for its death! I am broke man, still need to make a new pair of spects and pay $200 for jay's concert next yr ( 19th Jan)! Siao right, his concert tix always more ex than other pple, i also dunno why. But then it has been ages since i last saw him so i die die must go for his concert!

aimless

2007-10-10T20:54:00.000+08:00

I dunno why i feel very restless. After working for just a few weeks after my last break, i feel like having another break again. I took off this friday and next monday, muahaha. I think no one takes as much off as me. But if i dun take leave, i find it hard to go on, think i am getting old le. Peak is coming and i cannot take off for four months, oh my buddha, think they can just kill me. No off, no public holidays for me even thou there are plenty during Dec, thats damn sad. But i told myself i must hang on and i will hang on no matter what. Its a test of my own ability and tolerance of the long working hours. Given my long working hours during my first engagement, surviving thru the peak should not be a pblm.

i am still alive

2007-10-06T13:39:00.000+08:00

Cakes of 85 degree are damn nice and cheap, a must if u go taiwan.

The owl my dad won for my sis, very sad dad couldnt get the tofu that i want for me.

Harry potter's owl!

Monster ice, not that fantastic and the place is really inaccessible but they are building a mrt station there now. And it is ex too, i wouldnt recommend this.

Dunkin donuts, damn nice, i love it. Why singapore dun have?

GTO, ma la teacher, haha, i will definitely become a teacher one day but its just a matter of when.

Taiwan storyland

Mister donuts, nice esp their new mango donuts!

Cafe at taipei main station

Cosmos hotel

Ha, havent been blogging for a really long time cos i am really too busy and lazy to do so. Hmm, really glad that so far the clients that i have met are really nice to me. It is very important cos this makes my work much more enjoyable. I went to a shipyard to audit and i was so amazed to see how big the ships there are. I got lost when i was there but there was a kind soul who volunteered to bring me to the place i want to go (he is quite charismatic, muahaha). Too bad i didnt get to see christoper lee there. They saw him there fliming when they went to do audit last yr. Guys with good figures looks really good wearing the uniform there. Plz dun think i only go there and see guys k, i got do work one, haha. I am going for a stock take for three days next week and it is a branded store in orchard. Abiding by professionalism, i cannot reveal the identity of my client. But all i can say is those who buy branded are really damn stupid cos most of their products are made in china and the cost price is super low but they mark up their retail price by more than ten times.

I went to do manicure after getting my tuition fees today and i bought shi xin hui's album after failing to persuade my friend to ask her sis to buy the cd, muahaha. I dun really like shi xin hui but this album of hers is really nice as it is a compilation of all the serial shows' songs. It is much much better than what taipei dao beijing and what what lamborgini song. Who want can borrow the cd from me.

Okay, lastly, sorry for saying nothing abt my taiwan trip cos i am really too lazy to type everything. Basically, we just eat eat eat and shop shop shop everyday. I love the cafes there, they got really nice cakes and drinks and desserts. The photos will tell the full story...

a great week

2007-09-08T09:06:00.000+08:00

I have not blog for a pretty long time even thou i have been "nua-ing" in the office for the past one week. As we are not considered on the job training anymore, we will charge $140 per hour for anyone who book us to do anything. Ha, since the aug and sep batch are still free, of cos nobody book us to do anything which also means we can really seat there and do nothing. But once in a while, my colleague will ask me to help him do things for free which i am more than happy to do so. It is much better than seating there, waiting for time to crawl by.

First of all, i would like to thank all my colleagues who celebrated my birthday with me in the office on wednesday. They are Jiajing, Huiru, Wei leong, Ruolin, Zhiyue, Junting, May jin and beloved liping who are miraculously born on 10th sep too. Ha, thanks for rushing to international plaza to buy the cake after lunch!

After work on wed, i met up with my sec sch friends (huiyee, jiawen, xinying and glo) at a pub near my house. The food there is great! Ha, yee bought me something which she deems as ugly but i think its very cute! Now then i realise its a tofu (thanks to liping). Very funny, we go pub but we nvr drink. We ate their deserts in the end instead of drinking cos they look really nice.

I didnt went to work on thurs cos i decide to do my e-learning at home and claim the e-learning hours. All was well but at around five plus, my mentor partner email me : "Where are u? Can i see u now?" For the info of those not in audit, partner in an audit firm holds a even higher position than senior mgr. Once i see that email, i am very sian, quickly change to office clothings and took a cab down back to office. Really suay man! But lucky in the sense that he wanted to see me not bcos he want to scold me. He just realise that i got first class honours and his boss ask him to to give me more exposure but yet not give me so much stress that i quit. Then, he ask me want to go beijing or nanjing. Actually, i was very stressed after hearing his words. I do not need special attention leh, just treat me the same as anyone else as qualifications does not equal working capability. Moreover, i was still telling yee they all that i plan to quit next yr, muahaha. Of cos i nvr tell my partner this. I used to think that i just want to be a successful career woman, nothing else matters. But now to me, being happy is the most impt. Money and status is not that impt after all. So what if u earn alot but u spend most of yr time working and dothing nothing else? I rather spend my time with my family and doing things that i like. I really hope i can open a boutique of my own at orchard road one day, haha, fat hope right?

Finally met all my uni clique friends on thurs nite. It has been a long time since everyone is present. We went to eat at crystal jade, love their salad prawn! I love the present that u guys get for me, haha, its a bra from triumph. I wanted to get that but just couldnt bear to spend that money cos $50+ for a bra is really too ex for me so thanks so much for buying it for me.

Tonite will be celebrating my birthday with another group of friends, thanks pals! Tml will be flying off to taipei le, so happy that i will be celebrating my birthday there! Ha, but heard from the news that they will be having a demonstration against ah bian at the taipei 101 area. Oh no, plz dun block the traffic, i wanna go New York New York to have my lunch one! Ha, but if i can witness the demonstration, it will be pretty cool too! I will try to remember all the things that u guys want me to get k? Pineapple tarts for junting, pineapple cake for janet, hair clips for su yi, cardigan for jj, wa bing for my partner, snacks for my mentor grp and colleagues, stickers for ru, earrings for yee, i didnt miss out anyone right? If i did, plz sms me asap.

The treat at railway mall's clap restaurant which costs me $150+++

enjoyable week

2007-09-01T14:33:00.000+08:00

This week was a pretty enjoyable one for me cos i am slacking away in office with my colleagues. We went to the gym on thurs, wanted to go for the combat lesson but we didnt make it in time so we went to run on the threadmill instead. It feels so good to do some exercise after a long day of work. Really enjoy the company of junting, stefanie and zhiyue, they are great pple to be with. Then on friday, our company had this mooncake tasting session at the pantry from four to five. Know what? Its Marriott Hotel's mooncakes! I love their snowskin mooncakes esp for the blueberry cheese one so i made an order immediately and went down to the hotel to collect the mooncakes today. It was yummy! I bought one box of assorted snowskin mooncakes which consists of two green tea, two lotus paste with egg yolk, two choco with whisky and two blueberry cheese. The choco with whisky one is very nice too! Whats more is deloitte staff got 25% discount, feel so happy to be a deloitte staff, muahaha! I think i will buy one box of durian one for my dad too cos the durian one is also not bad.

Heard from my colleague in filing room that there will be more hotels coming to our company to promote mooncakes. I hope goodwood park hotel will be coming cos their mooncakes look nice too!

weeks just past

2007-08-28T22:58:00.000+08:00

Cant wait for 9 Sep to come. Work is still the same... I want to eat nice food and i miss my shopping sprees.....

enjoying working in office

2007-08-18T16:33:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was my last day on the engagement team for that particular client. I am so so happy cos the mess is finally going to end but i am sad at the same time cos i will miss my engagement team mates. I will miss shih wen for her patience guidance, angela for the gossip sessions we have together, kenneth for always helping me to clear my work when he has finished his and desmond for always bullying me. I really enjoy working with them. Yesterday, we were so free that me and kenneth decide to go to tanjong pagar market to queue for the muffins. The muffins there are really very nice, even nicer than those of amoy according to kenneth ( i didnt eat the muffins cos i bought something else). For the past 3 weeks, i have been having lunch with Kenneth, Cavan and Wei Leong. Being the only girl is really good, cos i can just seat down there and wait for them to buy for me. Really enjoyed their company cos they are really lame esp cavan and kenneth.

I went to watch fireworks after work yesterday. It was very nice and i even videoed it down. Sony ericsson phone is good man cos i think the video resolution is quite good! But i cannot upload cos my desktop is down and my sony ercisson installation cd is stucked inside the CPU! Anyway, after the fireworks, me and yee went to bugis to have dessert. The dessert shop is packed man but luckily we manage to find a seat. The dessert cost $4.50 per bowl but its damn nice, so still worth it.

Dear friends, plz tell me if u all are buying any of the things i have listed in my shopping list as my birthday present cos i dun want to get duplicates birthday presents. Muahaha, if dunno what to buy, just give me cash also can. Ha, think i very thick skinned? I also think so, where got pple say out directly like that one right? But then hor, i really dun want to get 3 same harry potter books as my birthday present in the end. Thanks for ya all cooperation!

2007-08-12T17:43:00.000+08:00

Went to collect my air tickets just now!!!!! I am super duper happy cos i will be spending my birthday in taipei this year!!! And whats more, i will be seating SIA and staying in Cosmos hotel, its the best birthday present to me! Think i am siao right? This will be the fourth time i am going taiwan. My uncle even thought i got a bf in taiwan which makes me go there so often. If i really have a bf there, i wont even come back lo, hahaha.

I want to catch jay's show cos so far hearing from those who have watched, the comments are pretty good! But, i simply do not have the time to do so, sian. I want to go shopping too but i am trying not to cos i wanna to go taiwan to get my stuff. Furthermore, i seem to have exhaust out my first pay even thou i didnt really bought anything.

Things on my shopping list:

1. Christian dior addict 2 perfume
2. Harry Potter hard cover book
3. Jay's show's dvd
4. Coach wallet
5. Awfully choco. cake
6. Titus watch

Muahaha, if i weere to buy all the above things, i can declare myself bankrupt...

super duper tired

2007-08-09T14:12:00.000+08:00

I really dunno to just simply believe that pple around me are treating me nicely sincerely or are they all putting up a mask. I really dunno to like or hate my mgr. As a matter of fact, he is a very good and nice leader who cares for his subordinates. He talk to my mentor partner to get me out of trouble due to the misunderstanding in handing in of timesheets, he drive me home when we worked late, he treat us to dinner, he explain very clearly and patiently how things are to be done, he forgive me for the mistakes that i have made. But i dun like the fact that he always criticise others in front of me when he appear to be very nice to those people too. His criticisms are based on fact but i just feel that if u can say these things to me, i bet u are talking something bad behind my back too. I am not sure if it happen but i cant help but wonder cos i hate these kind of pple.

As i was talking to my mgr yesterday, i realised that he knew alot of things even though he was not together with us at the client's place. He said the client told him but i seriously think its my colleagues who told him those stuff cos there is no way that the client know of those stuff. Haiz, that means there are spies around. I think i will get myself into deep trouble one day cos i simply tell my colleagues and mgr how i really feel or think. I should learn to be diplomatic but i hate that kind of me. Working long hours is already a very tiring job and having to put up a mask as we work makes life even more miserable. I think i am not suitable for the corporate world, should seriously start to look at the newspapers and look for a new job.

busy week

2007-08-05T21:58:00.000+08:00

I am tired cos everyday have to work OT and i even went back to office to work on sat. I grumbled to my colleague as i was working on sat and he commented that if i cannot even tolerate the working hours now, how could i survive thru the peak. What he say was quite true but i just dun like the way that he said it. He even commented that i dun know anything and he said my mother pampered me too much. Kaoz, i was quite angry after hearing that. I admit that i dunno anything but i am willing to learn lo. He even ask me to pay him ten dollars per hour for asking him questions about work. My response is to ask him to go and die and he say i yaya papaya and say he will tell my mgr about it. I know he is just joking but i dun really care. Say what u want about me to the mgr cos i dun really care how pple think about me. My senior even commented that i am very brave for giving my mgr black face to see. Sorry, this is me. I am not those hypocrite who appear smiling at u but toking behind yr back.
Really hate the fake pple around me, corporate world is filled with fake pple. They appear to be nice to u but they can just stabbed u at the back.
My current job still gotta last 2 more weeks. I feel very bad for neglecting my students ever since my job starts. Looking for tutors for them but no pple seems interested.

a wonderful wedding

2007-07-29T20:25:00.000+08:00

My mum, xiao yi and er yi

Blessings from both families

Douglas and dear alexis

The romantic moment of exchanging their vows

My pretty cousin

The tea serving ceremony

My dear pretty cousin and her handsome husband...

Blessings for ah lian jie jie: I hope that u will be happy forever and i promise to go to the states to visit u when i have saved enough money.

Yesterday, i attended the most romantic and wonderful wedding ever since i was born. It was my dear ah lian jie jie's wedding held at botanical gardens. During the march in and as they were taking their vows, i felt like crying cos i am simply too happy for my dear cousin. The ambience was perfect with the sweet scent of flowers all around and the blessings of everyone. I like my cousin-in-law too cos i know he will treat my cousin well and he is really a very entertaining guy. My cousin is migrating to the states since her husband is staying there which means i will not get to see her for very long! I will miss her alot!

Everything is well for the wedding except for a rich ass bitch. She think everyone has to give in to her cos she is rich. Sorry, i dun give it a damn that u are rich. Go ahead and diao us cos it only shows how uncivilised u are. And plz dun hao lian that u get PHD from overseas when u fail 'o' levels in singapore. Who knows maybe overseas PHD degree can be bought using money.

work is getting senseless

2007-07-27T00:11:00.000+08:00

I really feel like quitting my job yesterday. I dunno what the hell i am doing and i make tons of stupid mistakes which make my senior jump at me. But she is very nice for forgiving all my mistakes. Today even though i am making lesser mistakes but i still dun really understand the stuff that i am doing. Everytime i want to ask a question, seeing that everyone is so busy, i will just keep my mouth shut and try to find an answer myself. I am really confused, sometimes copy prior yr file also wrong, sometimes nvr copy also wrong, arggggh! I SIMPLY HATE WHAT I AM DOING COS I DUNNO WHAT I AM DOING!! I did auditing during my internship too but everything is so much more enjoyable there. I get really to understand the nature of my client's business and gain knowlegde instead of burying myself into the technical and admin stuff.

belly dancing

2007-07-22T08:52:00.000+08:00

Went for Amore's fitness club 22nd anniversary yesterday. I am not a member there but my sis signed me up for it cos she is in aerobics of ngee ann. At first, i was quite reluctant to go cos i am not from ngee ann and i am not interested in belly dancing. But then, it turn out that the event was really fun and i had a fun time learning belly dancing. At that moment, i seriously forgot everything about work. Ha, my sis ask me to sign up for the course. U think i got the time? The answer seems so obvious. Hmm, actually learning something new is really good. It helps to divert yr attention from work and prevents burnout. I want to learn how to play piano!

stress

2007-07-21T08:51:00.000+08:00

The good days (training) are over. Next week the real work starts. Somehow i feel uneasy and stressed. I think i have pissed my senior off even before the real work starts by asking her lots of stupid questions. I know those questions are stupid but i feel very xin ku when there is anything that i dunno or are unsure of. So far from what i have heard, all those who have start working work until nine plus ten everyday. I dun mind working late (but of cos not everyday) but i hate the feeling of not knowing what to do and pple around u are all so busy that u dun even dare to ask them when u got doubts. I hate to do things in doubt cos it will come back to haunt u when pple review yr work. Now i know why pple always say studying is still much better, i seriously agree with them right now.

a new challenging life

2007-07-14T22:33:00.000+08:00

Training this week is much more entertaining with a super good and nice trainer. But sometimes during the training, i feel that i am very stupid and slow cos sometimes i simply dun understand whyy certain things are in a certain way. I am not a fast learner but i am willing to learn, hope my seniors will be patient with me. I think they will be cos so far from the emails i had with them, they seems really nice pple.

Was talking with liping about how long do i think i will stay in the audit line. Hmm, after some serious thinking, i still do not have the answer but i know i am not someone who like changes so perhaps i will stay in a single job for pretty long. But, sometimes out of the blue, i will make major changes to my life. So who knows? Maybe i will not be in audit next yr this time.

work

2007-07-06T20:47:00.000+08:00

Time really flies, five days of work is gone just like that! Up till now, i did not regret going into Deloitte. In fact, i like the company quite alot. But first week of work is relatively boring cos we are just busy trying to complete our e-learning modules and learning the basics of the audit software. I love the group that i am being assigned into! Even though there is no close friend in my grp, i still like my grp cos my mgr is a very nice guy, my partner is really a very humorous person and my buddy is very nice to me too! I will be undergoing core training for the next two weeks before being assigned to audit a company. Really excited about learning how audit is exactly being carried out by our company. Ha, but with the assignment of a job also means longer working hours so i will really be very busy by then. Heard from my grp mate that we will be gg down to shipyards to audit, so so excited man! I have not audit shipping companies before so really glad that i will be put to audit these companies!

appearance

2007-06-30T19:01:00.000+08:00

I am very sad cos the hairdresser cut away my curls when i went to cut my hair today! I ask her to trim abit but abit is enough to make all my curls disappear. I am sad! Ha, but actually its my own fault, i should have tell her that i still want my curls, haiz, its okay, cut le means cut le, no way i can get those curls back. But that also means i may bring forward my date for rebonding, muahaha.

After cutting my hair, i waited for forty five minutes for the stupid bus 178 to get me to boon lay so that i can take mrt to orchard. Yar, forty five minutes! And the weather is so damn hot so i am already fuming as i made my way to orchard. My purpose of gg orchard is to get my she uemura's blusher at tangs. As i was looking at their products, my mood become better cos their products are all so pretty! BUT, the salesgirl's attitude sucks! I am standing there for ages and she refuse to come and serve me. I seriously dunno why. Is it bcos i did not put on any make-up which give her the illusion that i will not buy any make-up or is it bcos i am not carrying LV or Gucci bag which makes her think i got no money to buy their products? I am disgusted by either of the reason. She so happily served the tai tai before me so or is it bcos i am not a tai tai? In any way, if not for i want to ask her which shade of pink suits me more, i would have just left taking the product myself. I thought tangs' salespple are good cos that time the perfume's sales pple treat me very nicely even thou i went in with tshirt and shorts. No way i am gg back there to buy she uemura's products again! HA, but i will go back there to buy my dior addict two perfume. If i were to leave audit one day, i will make sure i get into loreal and get all its salesgirls undergo some serious training on customer service.

With this incident and as i was walking pass paragon today, i suddenly feel that our society is a very crude and cruel one. Everything is based on appearance, as long as u are pretty or u are rich or u are carrying some branded goods, pple treat u differently. Thats damn sad. Just like the 9 pm show on channel 8 featuring ou xuan and fann wong, when u are pretty, pple treat u like princess. When u are ugly, pple treat u like dirt. But, i feel sad for those pretty pple out there cos pple treat u nicely just bcos of yr appearance.

durian puff

2007-06-29T22:14:00.000+08:00

The top which i bought:

I was browsing thru the website of sing spree and i have fallen in love with so many of the clothes there. As i was browsing thru, i got the urge to fly to taiwan and shop again!!! Will go taiwan again next yr, haha!

Oh yar, i bought emicakes D24 durian puff, they are so damn nice! Bought for my mummy, ha but i want to eat actually, yummy!

motivation

2007-06-28T00:07:00.000+08:00

Some ugly hands above with my beautiful legs below, muahaha

I feel lost, i dunno what i want. Before i graduated, getting a good honours has been my goal for three years. Now that this goal has been attained, i dunno what my new goal should be. Next week work is starting for me, i shall set a goal for myself when i get to know the system of the company better. For now, i shall remain aimless. Ha, but i am happy that i am getting a pay raise even before i start work!!!

Sorry pals for dampening the mood at kbox today. I wasnt in the right mood, i guess i am having pms or maybe its bcos of the news that i heard in the afternoon. Sorry!

war

2007-06-26T00:05:00.000+08:00

War is brewing in my house. The tension in my house is intense. With a person with dementia in my house, soon there will be another with depression. My sis with her stress in her projects and stuff cannot stand my dementia grandma anymore and she had break down for two consecutive days. I can understand how she feel, if i am faced with a shitty groupmate who is a free rider and with the dateline coming and with someone who keep asking u stupid questions as u are trying to rush yr report, i will break down too.

Went for my medical checkup today, lucky nvr test blood, haha, i am scared. Went shopping with my pals and i am so tempted to buy three quarter pants but they are all so ex and i doubt i have much chance of wearing them next time. Saw a nice pair of white shoes too, so nice, i love white shoes! Went Mango to see cos they are having sale but those items that i think is nice is still so ex after discount!

which blusher to buy

2007-06-24T10:07:00.000+08:00

I dunno which blusher to buy. Should i buy the beaute de kose blusher which is compact and come with a brush but cost $58 or should i buy the shu uemura one which cost around forty bucks but dun come with a brush? The beaute de kose one only has three colors to choose from but the shu uemura one has more than over ten colors.

not enough time

2007-06-23T22:09:00.000+08:00

Time really flies cos work is starting soon! I am left with only one more week. I am busy with meeting up with friends, tuition and shopping for working clothes for the past two weeks. Have been going out everyday, ha, i need a day to rot at home to rest. Today, i spent $135 at G2000 again! I bought a white suit, very nice! HA, G2000 has now become my favorite shopping place, i know thats quite sad but no choice! Damn, i have fallen in love with a future state tube which costs $59, so ex!!! But it is really nice, i will buy when my income starts to come in! I bought loreal's make up remover instead of beaute de kose cos i need to save on things that can be saved. Next week still need to pay for my medical checkup and dyeing my hair! OH mine, at this rate, my bank account is approaching zero soon!

Have been rather busy with my online shop, actually its once my dream to open a boutique! Ha, but i dun have capital!

2007-06-21T22:44:00.000+08:00

mixed emotions

2007-06-21T15:49:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, i experience happiness, anger and disappointment. In the afternoon, i went with yee and wen to collect our graduation gown, so so happy! At the moment when the person help me to wear the gown, i feel so touched cos my efforts over the 3 yrs have not gone into waste. After i went home, i also had a fun time letting all my family members have a taste of being a uni graduate.

But at night, i heard two things that made me very pisssed off. The first thing that made me pissed off and also the one of the higher intensity one is that my ex boyfriend actually two timed me that time. He nvr broke up with his gf all along. I feel so disgusted, why did i ever allow this kind of person to be my bf. I must be mad at that time or is it plain stupidiy? No wonder jj call me dumb dumb fang, i am really dumb man!!! But at least this news relieve me of all the guilt for wanting to break up with him. Next time choose bf i think i really need to open my eyes big big!

The second news is relating to trust. One of my friends say some pple prefer to keep things to themselves and it is their way of handling things. I agree but dun they know that others are so worried abt them and this news can actually make them feel much better and happy for them? Pple are empathising with u but did u stand in others' shoes to think? DO U KNOW THAT HAVING TO THINK BEFORE SPEAKING IS EXTREMELY HARD FOR A DIRECT PERSON LIKE ME? If i know the news, then i will not have to think before i speak le. And basically this means u dun trust me at all. AND I HATE IT WHEN PPLE DUN TRUST ME! kaoz, why do i always get angry over pple who are not worth it? Stupidity again! (jj must be very happy if she read this cos i finally admit i am stupid)

Anyway, enough of those things that make me bad mood. I got something to announce! My online shop is opening soon, u all watch out for it k!

tolerance

2007-06-19T23:55:00.000+08:00

Went down to Tan Tock Seng Hospital today with my mum and granny. Actually, i wanted to have a showdown with the doctor, asking them what the shit are they doing. After examining my granny for so long, they cannot even confirm what disease is she suffering from. But, today the doctor confirmed to us that she has have got Alzeimer's disease-dementia but is in the early stage. For the next appointment, she will have to see a psychologist to take those mental tests le and the doctor warned us that as she progresses, her condition will get worse and there is no cure for this disease. They can only provide her with medicine to slow down the deterioration.

There was this auntie with the same fate as my mother in the sense that they have to take care of their dementia mother. This auntie got two elder brothers and her mother left all her money and flat under the sons' name. After her mother gt this disease, her sons threw her out of the house and the auntie took her mother in. SEE, I HOPE I DUN EVER GIVE BIRTH TO GUYS NEXT TIME! Her mother was wheel chaired bound so everytime when she need to go to the hospital for check up, she need to send for the ambulance and her mum got no money at all. So the auntie has to bear all the expenses herself and her stupid brothers have just taken the money and not visited their mother for almost ten years.( I hope these pple get some incurable disease themselves!) What is worse now is the auntie's husband's business is not doing well so she said she everytime hide in the toilet and cry. Sad rite? I feel very sad after hearing her story. Its all the fault of some stupid guys!!!

After today, i realise something. We always like to complain that we are very suay or unfortunate when something bad happen. But when u look around, there are always pple who are more suay than us but they are still putting on a strong fight. So, actually we should just stop whining and put on a strong fight too. Three cheers to all the patients who are fighting hard against their diseases!!!

I met an ah pek who has dementia too at the hospital today and he look at me with a very innocent look. I looked at him and smiled and then he smiled back at me. At that very moment, i realise what is happiness and contentment.

my idols

2007-06-17T09:37:00.000+08:00

When i went for tuition yesterday, i saw my idol! Ha, not jay chou or any other celebrity but.......its my topengz. Why is he my topengz? Ha, cos his name is wee kiat and mine is keatwee. Ha, nvr see him for very long le but he is still as handsome as ever. Why is he my idol? Ha, from so many pple that i have known over the years, he is the person with many of the qualities which i wishes to possess. He is kind, filial, good tempered, smart, althetic, gentleman, humorous and bla bla bla. He is shen2 rite? Not only that, he is very handsome too!!! Muahaha, too bad i dun have photo of him, if not can show u all how handsome my topengz is. But, i think he need to change his hairstyle cos its outdated le, opps!

Another person which i admire is my uni friend, cass. She is really a person u cant help loving (i mean as a friend). She is so selfless and she always know how to empathise with others. When u are with her, u will nvr feel bored cos her jokes are damn funny. And she is extremely caring, when i went taiwan with her last yr, i had the feeling that my mum went with me too cos she will shower everyone with motherly care and concern. Something that puts her above all my other friends is that she is attached le! Even thou she gt boyfriend le, she nvr put her bf above her friends. She cares for her friends just as much as she cares abt her bf. Ha, i still tell her dun everytime bully her bf. Miss her very much, cant wait for her to come back to singapore.

pirates of the carribean

2007-06-15T21:19:00.000+08:00

I went to watch pirates of the carribean with my sis today. Before gg to watch, alot of my friends said that the movie was not very nice, some say it was confusing and some say it was sad. But, very funny, after watching the movie, i dun find it confusing and sad at all. In fact, i find that this movie is a very nice one with a good ending. It is funny and exciting at times and the sound effect was good. Perhaps those who find that this movie has a sad ending nvr stay for the last scene after the credits. Hee, i shall not reveal what the last scene is. Went to eat fish and co before the movie and i tried their new york fish and chips. I nvr knew they had new york fish and chips besides the normal one! I love it cos it is simply so cheesy! I tried their jungle freeze too, it is fantastic but me and my sis only finished half of it cos the glass is simply huge!

Received the letter from my company that i will be starting work on 2nd july le, that means i am left with only two more weeks to slack and play! Hee, they invited us to a party at zouk, dunno should go or not. Nvr go zouk before, feel like gg there to see how the place is like.

my grandma

2007-06-12T08:48:00.000+08:00

Can someone tell me how can i not raise my voice at my grandma when she ask me questions. I kept on reminding myself that i have to respect her but as she repeat the same question for more than three times within minutes, my blood pressure starts to build up and all the answers that come out from my mouth are said in an very annoyed tone. I know she is a patient but did she really dunno whatever that she is doing? Whenever she make a mistake and we pointed out to her, she will say she dunno cos she cannot remember anything. Does she really not remember? If she dun remember, how come she can remember so clearly how much money is in her purse?

I think my mum suffered more than me. Being a light sleeper, she will be wake up by my grandma two or three in the morning who will come knocking at our doors and she will not be able to sleep after that. Ha, i sleep like a pig so i dun even know she knock our door. I often wonder whether my grandma is really too irritating or whether my tolerance level is too low.

U all shall judge for yrself:

Irritating actions of hers
1. Waking u up in the middle of the night
2. Asking u the same questions over and over again
3. Not closing the door when using the toilet, not flushing after use (say that there is no pple when i ask her to close the door, she think i am a ghost)
4. Leave toothpicks and tissues lying around the house after using (use two tissues at one time cos one layer is too thin)
5. Spit out vegetables on the table after eating
6. Always say she is hungry before proper meals but when she eat, she say she is full and throw away food
7. Keep eating sweets even thou she is having cough
8. Refuse to let the dentist extract her tooth but keep on complaining her tongue is pain
9. Dig her mouth with her fingers after meals in the public
10. keep asking u for medicine to eat
11. Refuse to wash her hands after eating bread (she say her hands are clean, yeah rite...)
12. She love to mix solutions, mix hot water with cold water, pour away then add hot water again
13. Keep saying she is very pitiful (kaoz, she dunno who is pitiful man, those pple in africa are more pitiful than her)]
14. keep saying pple steal her money (yao1 gui4)
15. Use one bottle of medicated oil per day and keep on asking my dad to buy for her
16. Leave bread lying around on the table after she eat

phone spoilt

2007-06-07T23:38:00.000+08:00

Today i went for tuition in the noon, lucky i nvr forget those stuff that i am teaching after such a long break. After tuition, i went down to orchard to get my two mths old sony ericsson phone serviced cos i cannot on it at all! It became like this on the first day i reach hk, totally spoil my mood at that time. I thought since today is thurs and i went down at office hrs time, there should be no pple at the service centre. To my horror, there are so many pple there waiting to get their phones serviced too!!! And know what, most of them have the same phone model as me!
Anyway, i am quite pissed off with the female employees at the service centre. I know its very tiring to keep attending to customers like me but if u want to eat snake, can u do it more discreetly and not right in front of the customer who is very irritated cos their phone is spolit and they have to wait so long just to get it serviced. And i also wonder why they have to go and take their lunch breaks together when there are so many pple at the centre? Okay, thats my personal opinion so u all can just ignore what i have typed so far. I have to go down and collect my phone on sunday, sian, i hate to go orchard on sunday!!!

trip to hk

2007-06-06T18:28:00.000+08:00

I am back from hongkong, completely exhausted after two trips. Hong Kong is fun in terms of visiting the places of interest as it has been ten years since i last went there. But in terms of shopping, i still prefer taiwan. I love hong kong disneyland! We went there for almost nine hours but there are still places that we didnt really explore. I love the settings there, make me feel that i am in a magical land! I love Pooh, the roller coaster, the castle, the tea cup, wooden horse ride, chip and dale and everything abt disneyland! The second place i like most abt hong kong is Madame Tussands, the wax museum. Got jay chou but jay is so ugly there! I think the best is andy lau! He is really handsome!
