Net Friends Day

-


I was out with 3 net friends for lunch & dinner.

Jaslyn & her friend, Christine- Mushroom Pot @ OG Orchard

This was the first time I was meeting this net friend, who is like my "little sister". We can actually chat about amything under the sun. Jaslyn would usually come to me when she faces BGR problems.

Was late for this appointment though & felt very sorry about it. I apologise to her & her friend here again. Sorry for being late. We wanted to go to the "好吃王" recommendation of the Kiliney Road restaurant. Unfortunately, when we reached the MRT station entrance, it was raining heavily again. Left stranded, I decided to bring the gals to Mushroom Pot instead. Jaslyn was saying that she have not tried the Mushroom Pot before & wanted to try it. So we took the underpass there. I could sense that they may be having problems with their shoes behind as they walked. I decided to stop at the taxi stand & waited for them to catch up. It is not my style to throw my friends behind as I walked. Jaslyn told me later that Christine was having problems with her shoes as the heels were slippery. I told her we could walk slower to match her pace.

Had beef paper steamboats & 3 side dishes. The food was good but it was marred by Christine finding something that looked like a worm in her food just as she was about to finish. I guess that could have caused Jaslyn to have a bout of diahorrea later, just as I was about to settle the bill.

We chatted about our jobs, bonuses & our future plans. Christine is from Civil Service Dept that is about to be corporatised soon. She was saying that she may not have bonus once corporatisation occurs. Jaslyn is planning to use her LCCI qualifications to secure a new accounts job. She is afraid that she will be stangant if she stays in her current sales job.

Wanted to treat them, as I was late & seeing the way they were pouring their wallets for cash ! But the ladies kept saying no. They felt pai sei.

After parting with the ladies, I took a bus to Takashimaya & decided to do some CNY shopping before meeting Grace at 5.30pm at Hereen. Got myself 3 shirts from Bossini & U2 for $22. Cheap Cheap Cheap!!! At the same time, I decided to shop for Grace's birthday present. I didn't manage to get what she wanted as it was defintely out of my budget. In the end, I got her the Kenny G CD that I bought for DJ & SR.

Marche Movenpick @ Hereen

Grace was late due to a long wait of the express bus. I gave her the gift & told her that I didn't manage to get what she requested. Luckily she liked the CD. It has been a while since I been to Marche Hereen. I had been going to the Suntec Branch for the past year. The branch has been renovated & it looks more spacious now. It comes with a playground too.

I had sashimi, pasta & salad. Grace had steak & steamed potato strips. Yum Yum. The reason for the meet up was Grace would be leaving for Perth for her nursing degree on 4 Feb. All the best, Grace. This net friend of mine, was the 1st net friend I met up with 4 years ago. The place that we met up, her house!!! I was there to help her with her poly project. Her mum is also quite friendly, like her too.

We chatted about my blog entries, her ex-es & her future plans after completing her degree. I didn't know that she is an avid reader of my blog. She saw my CNY Gathering entry & was pretty sad that she couldn't join in. She even asked me to ask my mum to mail her her red packet. Haha:)

We parted at about 9pm.

Had a fun day, but the thought of a full day lesson tomorrow spoils the joy I had today.

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.
