Crazy Mum Really Driving Me Nuts

-
I had came across a piece of news through Blogspot last nite, so decided to let mum know since she liked the "lead actress" in that piece of news so much. She had the same reaction as me, stunned. I just wish for happiness for the couple in their upcoming marriage.

My mum is still blaming me for causing the rift in the friendship with "lead actress". She was saying that, " My son is not showing enough concern towards gals, that's the reason why he can't get a gf." I just retorted and said, " Seeing my friends & relatives getting married makes me not want to get married anymore." I am glad that I took most of my friends' advice, by not letting her know that a gal has set my heart moving recently, otherwise she would start her relentless nagging to ask me to be quick to get the gal & frighten people away.

Was surprised that Claudia asked my mum why I did not attend her tea ceremony and church wedding today. I just told mum to explain to her that I was sick and my work was piling up, therefore I need to work. Mum said that I should have taken leave for her wedding, instead of Sherry's. I told her that Sherry asked me to attend about 1.5 months ago and followed up with her invitation last month, whereas Claudia only gave us the invitation card last week. Although my mum was informed before that, I was not aware of anything. Furthermore, I am not very close to Claudia, just usually met up during CNY at her place for CNY festivities. Therefore I decided not to take leave.

Wonder what's in my mum's mind & Claudia's mind?

Anonymous: I did go for the wedding dinner, just that I didn't attend the tea ceremony & her church wedding in the day as I was working.

Elaine: I got to agree on that. But she knows I am still single & I won't give her much too. What's more, if I give, it will be in the family ang pow.

Shionge: Yes. That's rite. I know Sherry for 9 yrs already, since my poly days. So how can I not go and share her joy?

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.
