Birthday Surprise for Karen

Chocolate Indulgence

I received an sms from Michelle on Wed stating that she was planning a birthday surprise for Jean at Serenity Cafe, Vivo City yesterday nite. It has been a hectic and stressful week for me, so I thought it was a good idea to join them for the birthday celebration. Anyway, I was glad to be part of the celebrations as I had only known Karen & Jean from joining Singapore Facebook Singles a few months ago.

I was assigned by Michelle to get the cake at the last minute as the ladies and my KTV buddy, Jonathan does not work in town. It was tough looking for the cake though as until yesterday, I was only aware that TCC and Starbucks only sells slices of cakes but not in whole. I was aware that the cakes at Hilton Hotel, which is beside my office, is very very expensive. In the end, I got the above cake, Chocolate Indulgence from Secret Recipe. It is quite worthwhile as the cake was big.

Karen was surprised to see me as Jean didn't tell her that Jonathan & I were going to be there. Saw the fun side of the birthday gal and her friends. These ladies really like to have fun, and they really PARTY!!! Not only that, they like taking pictures.

I thought that the cafe was a cosy place, with a live band playing great music, and large projector screen that shows live concerts and soccer matches. The manager told us that the place can be used for wedding proposals and other events. The food was ok, not too bad.

After that, we adjourned to St James Power Station. It was a refreshing experience for me as it was my first time at St James. Have to thank Jonathan for paying my cover charge and the ladies for bringing me there. Enjoyed the music at the Boiler Room before calling it a night as mum was worried that I may get cheated again and kept calling me throughout the evening.

Would like to thank Jonathan & Jean for listening to the whole story at the dinner. They are confident that I can get my money back, which I hope so too.

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.
