Busy Day Running About

-

It was a busy day for me and my brother as it was his collection day of his notebook computer at Toshiba.

Called up my office at about 8.15am. Ms Kaypo Q answered the call & asked me why I needed to take urgent leave. She said she was kaypo & curious to know. I told her it was none of her business to be kaypo about and ended my call. As a precautionary measure, I smsed to my boss after a while and let him know that I was not going to be around.

A bus, MRT & taxi ride took me to the Toshiba headquarters at Kallang, where I was attended by the sales staff. There weren't many freebies in this package, save for the mouse, 2 sets of anti-virus software.

After getting the notebook, we went down to Ngee Ann by bus to get the necessary ECE needed software.The whole process was to take about 4 hrs, which I felt that was pretty slow by standards. During this time, we went to Funan & got the screen protector, Norton Internet Security & a 1GB thumbdrive.

After the trip, we went back to Ngee Ann. It was then we discovered that the screen protector that we bought for the monitor did not fit the LCD screen. We purchased another one at the Co-Operative Society downstairs, but it didn't fit either. Looks like I just have to cut the thing to size and fit to the screen.

When I came back, mum was saying that she was ill & therefore not able to cook for us. Dad was not happy that mum did not cook. I was not happy that he did not even bother to fork out a single cent for my brother's notebook and tried to push everything to me and my mum. I am not earning as much as the both of you, but why am I made to shoulder more responsibility? Argh!!!

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.
