World Book Fair Weekend

At first I thought that there was a PC show going on at Suntec City this weekend after remembering seeing a bus ad stating that the PC show was from today. I was greeted by the books at the World Book Fair in the end.

It seems like the bus ad gave me the wrong info as I was hoping to get a few things at the PC show this round. I would like to thank Stella for the clarification. The PC show will be on next Thu to Sun at Suntec.

Anyway, the trip to the World Book Fair was fruitful as mum managed to get some learning materials for my cousin's baby which is due anytime now at a cheap price of $1 per book. It was so cheap that mum decided to get 10 books at one go for her.

Not only that, we managed to get some pillow cases from Jean Perry which were going at $2 each, as well as bedsheets going at $5 each at the warehouse sale on Level 2 of the Convention Centre.

The bad part was the lunch at the Food Republic. My mum & I were put off by the insistence of the Vietnamese stall that we needed to order food from them, as we are seated near their stall. It is a crowded & rainy Sat afternoon and I wonder why are there designated seats for some of these food court stalls? This shows Food Republic's inflexibility about handling of the crowds.

I was also put off the service staff's attitude. I just feel that you could have talked to us nicely to move our seats.

I doubt I will be there for lunch on next Sat again.

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.
