Busy Start But Light Ending

-

I was on leave on Monday as I knew I would be a tired from attending Elaine’s wedding the night before, and I felt that I needed a break & I was afraid that my young boss may ask us to clear our past entitlement by Feb next year.

Was back to work on Tuesday. The first day without the my Malay receptionist. It meant that I had to do some of her admin work that relates to our department. I heard from my manager that she had wanted to say her goodbye to me the day before, but didn’t get the chance to. I actually said my goodbye to her on last Fri when I told her to take care and wished her all the best. Maybe she was too busy packing her stuff, as a result, she didn’t remember that I had said that. My manager was surprised that I was able to be on such good terms with the receptionist, although we had some differences in our work before. I guess nowadays, I try to forgive and forget. Like what Winston Churchill said, “ You made enemies in your life, Good. This shows that you stood up for people in your life.”

The tax provisions started to come in fast & furious on Tuesday. The whole team managed to complete them by Thursday. It was good to have something to work on, instead of reading e-tax guides and tax circulars. I was asked by my boss to guide my colleague about dropping urgent documents at IRAS today. Apparently, not many people know that IRAS open its premises for people to drop urgent stuff till 7pm. Even after that, we may drop mails or cheques to them at the letter box located next to the taxi stand.

After that, I went back to Orchard again as I had arranged to meet up with Jonathan & Josline for dinner today. At first, I had wanted to let them try the food at ION Orchard, but the crowd was brusting to the seams at most of the eateries there, so we settled at Big O at Wheelock Place. The food was great, especially the mudpies. After the dinner, all of us called it a night as we were all tired.

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.
