Bad Start To Good End Fri

-

I had a bad start today. First, I had to amend a provision which was done for one of my colleagues. I was rather pissed as there were not one or two minor amendments to be made but at least 10 amendments to be made. I felt like telling this person off, as majority of the amendments made are based on what I have prepared for the tax schedules. If you think that it is easy and fast to amend, why not try amending the tax provision yourself?

I decided that I should start write a report, detailing the amendments made in addition to my checklist for tax schedules. In this way, I am more than able to answer to my boss for the substantial time that I have spent, which I felt was unnecessary. This could be better done if my colleague had been more careful in her work. It saves my time and her time too.

Fortunately, I had made prior arrangement to join a Facebook event to enjoy Fish Steamboat at Geylang. It was my first time joining this group but I didn’t feel odd or out of place as my karaoke pal, Jonathan Teo was with me for this event. I must say the Fish Steamboat was very good, with lots of 鱼漂 and sliced fish in its soup base. The dinner was pretty cheap too at about $11 per pax, with a few side dishes, like fried chicken, sambal kangkong and fried egg omelette to go with.

After the dinner, we proceeded to enjoy 豆浆油条 at another place which was about a 10 mins walk from the place we had our steamboat. It was the first time I tried 豆浆油条, a culture which originated from Taiwan.

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.
