Gift Shopping, Dinner & Movie

-
I was on leave today, to give myself a deserved break from the aunties' nagging at the workplace. It was quite a fulfilling & eventful day for me.

Helped my brother to look for a temp job through the newspaper. He managed to find one as a waiter at a Vietnamese resturant at the Atrium @ Orchard. The boss said that he would call him tomorrow no matter what. Hope he gets the job. I feel that it is quite well paid for a person without any exprience.

Got an e-mail from Ms Clara, Senior Corporate Communications Officer @ IRAS, who asked me if I could assist the e-club that I am posted to for the whole e-filing excercise. I agreed to her request immediately, since I have no lessons on the weekends for the period & it is only a 3 hour thingy. By the way, the e-club I am posted to is Serangoon E-club, which is the same place where I was posted to last year. So if you guys have problems in e-filing your taxes, please pay me a visit at the e-club from 18 Mar 2006 to 17 April 2006. I will be stationed there for the weekends from 2-5pm. The address is Blk 123 Serangoon North Ave 1 #01-49 S 550123.

Met up with Jason @ Plaza Singapura & managed to get a gift for our friend at SK Jewellery. We got a pair of earrings for her. I hope she likes it, as I think it suits her the first time I saw it. I decided to go with my heart as I chose the present, and told the other person who had no budget that we should top up the cost for the couple who had budget constraints & were sharing the gift with us. Jason was saying that if the couple had no constriants, we would have got the gift from Lee Hwa instead as their handsmanship are defintely better.

Met up with a net friend, Joey for the 1st time @ Cafe Cartel with Jason after I got the gift. My brother joined us later. This gal, whom I nearly lost contact with, was a national volleyball player, therefore I was not surprised by her height, 1.7m. I knew her about 2 years ago in ICQ. Finally had the chance to meet her today. I must say my instinct did not fail me. She is a nice and friendly gal. We talked about her working life in RSAF, where is working there as a regular. Jason & I also shared our NS expriences with her, while my brother felt a little left out. We had quite a long dinner, from 5.55pm till about 7.15pm. Besides that, we asked her about her family, how is life playing volleyball, her plans to take up beach volleyball & degree in logistics in the next year.

After the dinner, we decided to go for a movie. We wanted to catch it @ Plaza Singapura, but my brother was saying Cathay Cineleisure was cheaper. In the end, it ended up that the price was the same @ $9.50 each. I shall blog about the movie in the next post.

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.
