A Brand New Look for Me

-


This pic was taken after I collected my new specs at Compass Point this afternoon, but not before going to the Samsung Shop at Plaza Singapura to enquire if I could change the "faulty" USB cable that I bought on Wednesday. I was on afternoon leave as I felt that I needed a break after spending so much time at work & not recovering from my sore throat yet, despite taking the medicine as regularly as possible, meaning juggling between my work & study commitments

My mum has even bought me a cough mixture from Gurdian Pharmacy to see if it works on me as it worked on her the last time when she had such a persistent cough. Thanks mum!!!

Was at Plaza Singapura when I got a call from Jason. He said that he had traded in his Sony Ericcson handphone & changed to the handphone I am taking now, Samsung E640 as the USB cable was not working. I told him I was also facing the same problem & was going to try to change to another accessory. He suggested meeting up after I collected my spec as his appointment was cancelled. As I had nothing on after that, I agreed.

The shopkeeper was unwilling to change the cable in the 1st place & got me to go to the Samsung Customer Service Centre at Level 4 to try. I explained the problem to the officer & she tested & taught me how to use the USB cable in a patient manner. It was then I came to know that I was able to use the PC software provided to back up my phonebook & messages & I had missed a step in the setup process. It was a case of "no setup instructions provided."

Met up with Jason after collecting my specs. The bus ride from Compass Point to Junction 8 was fast. It took only 20 mins. We had an early dinner at Cafe Cartel since both of us had light lunches. Jason had medium rare beef steak, while I had fish & chips. Both of us had iced mocha & iced water as our drinks. We enjoyed the meal especially the bread.

After that, we did some window shopping before heading to Swensens for our desert. We had the Peppermint ice-cream. We chatted for a while, giving each other an update of what has been happening to us & some of our friends. Of course, we touched on the CNY Gathering at my place on 4 Feb. He can't confirm with me now though as he is afraid that he may need to follow his family to do house visiting.

After that, went window shopping again. I had wanted to get a working coat / jacket for work purposes as my office air con, which is getting colder by the day, & blowing directly at me. My jackets are like getting thinner. Hmmm looks like the hongbao money may come in handy as I saw a coat that I liked at G2000. Hope the offer last till then.

Home sweet home @ 10.30pm.

Dinner @ Bacchus @ Dempsey

I joined the Facebook Foodies Club for dinner at Bacchus last night. Yesterday was with a smaller group of people with 11 people. It meant that I had a chance to interact with people and enjoy good food at the same time. I certainly had a good time knowing Deborah, Rene, Wenna, Chris & Catherine. The good part was having my singing buddy, Jonathan around as well, making me able to enjoy the dinner and making friends with relative ease. I must say I enjoyed the food, that I ordered. I ordered the Flumuken,Bawhrust susages and tiramisu cake. You must be thinking that why I ordered so much food. I must say I was very hungry as I didn’t have a filling lunch. Although, it burned a hole in my pocket, but it is certainly good to indulge in myself sometimes! I like the ambience of the restuarant. After the dinner, we indulged ourselves in some German wine before we were asked to pose for photos. After that, we adjourned to Harry’s Bar for a drink and chat session. Jonathan was so afraid

My Hosting Script for The National Day Event

-
I just managed to work out the draft hosting script for the National Day Event I am hosting. I am thankful for all the comments that I have received from my fellow RC members and friends. Just feel that sometimes, no matter whatever you do, some people, no matter for what reasons, will not be happy with the arrangements. I just wish to say that I am already trying my best to try to get this event going, considering the fact, that this is the 1st time I am organising an RC event. I have also tried my best, despite the fact that I would like to have a free hand to organise the event, just like what I usually do for the KTV events I have on Facebook, I accommodated to the requests that I should somehow follow the past years’ format to do the event. I know that I am not very familiar with how things are run at the RC, therefore in the end, my organising committee only made some changes to the event as we had a limited budget to work on. I even volunteered myself to do the hosting for the

June Musings

 It has been a while since I last blogged. Since then, I am settling well into my role, although there were some incomings and outgoings, which are common in any workplace.   I managed to catch a last glimpse of Yishun Orto before it closed on 30 June. I would like Leonard, Wendy & Michael, as without them performing at the Happiest Hour Bar & Bistro, I guess I would never go to this place, as I had not so fond memories of a nearby place during my NS days.   I did not manage to get A* Mei or Jacky Cheung concert tickets this round. It could be a sign for me to build up my savings again after an unstable 3 years on the job front. I hope to stay on this job for a while despite its lack of transport amenities and lack of shelters for rain as it is not often that you can have great teams of colleagues and bosses with whom you can get along well. I guess having a boss who is differently abled helps me to settle in well as colleagues tend to be more understanding and caring.
