Stunning News

-
I was reading through my New Paper when the 2 headlines of the front page caught my eye. One of the story was about a chemical leak scare on board a SMRT bus at CCK, while the other, a robber fired a shot at Sun Plaza NTUC 4D outlet. My first thoughts were, " What is Singapore becoming on a crazy Tuesday/ Wednesday?"

Are we becoming a hotbed for terrorist & crime? Decided to call Stella after work to tell her about the chemical scare as she stays around the area & like to take that bus when she goes Orchard. She was not aware that this actually happened around her neighbourhood! She also told me that how busy she will be for this two months as her sis will be going back to Austraila at the end of the month & she is starting her logistics degree course in March. Heard from her that it is quite bad, as she will be occupied for 3 modules for 3 consective weekends. Plus her workplace is sending her for course around that time as well. As a result, she should not be attending Huiyu's b-day celebration in March.

Earlier part of the day, got a call from Ricky, a friend of mine who is a bus driver. He has invited me to his new flat in Marsling this Friday to celebrate his son's b-day. I told him I will be there but most likely at night, as I will be working. From my workplace to his place needs at least an hour plus journey. It will be a good idea for me to leave on the dot. He has told me not to bring any presents for his son, but since it is still within the CNY period, I guess I must bring Mandarin oranges to wish him & his wife, Eileen, who is a nurse, good health & good luck.

He used to drive Service 74 which passes by my house to NP. That's how I know him.

He now drives a Service that passes by your house. You go & guess which one.

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.
