Dinner With ACCA Classmates

-

I met up with my former ACCA classmates, Elaine and Tammy at Wheelock Place, Sun with Moon for dinner last night. Too bad, our other classmate, Peggy, was not able to join us due to her work commitments at her new job at Resorts World. The place was recommended by Tammy, as she thought that the place is good for ambience and great Japanese food. She also felt that it was also convivnent for me and Elaine, as she only knows how to drive to Orchard Road from her work place.

I thought the food was great, even though the pricing was a little on the high end. We paid about $50 per pax, which I thought it was ok, as I really like the decor and ambience of the restaurant. The sashimi was fresh and delicious.

It is always nice to catch up with them. Elaine and Tammy are happy for me that I have resumed my ACCA studies. Tammy said that I have made a good choice in choosing Mr Philip Woo of Singapore Accountancy Academy as he is able to relate better the concepts taught with real life expriences. I think she is right, as Mr Woo has certainly rekindled my interest in going forward in my ACCA classes again. What’s more, at a lower cost at about $110 cheaper.

Tammy and Elaine shared some good news that have happened to them recently. Tammy would be switching a new role at her work place next week. Knowing her, I think she will be able to carry the new role well. She said that she has been in the accounting line for quite some time, therefore she felt that she needed a fresh challenge. Elaine should be entering her next phase of life in about 9 months time. She seemed a little unprepared, but Tammy and I have encouraged her to stay positive. There is always a first time for everything. As the saying goes “船到桥头自然直”, meaning one will solve the problem when one faces it. As their friend, I am very happy for her.

Time always fly whenever we are catching up with another. We left the restaurant at about 9.30pm. Once again, I wish to thank Elaine for the ride home. She said she didn’t want me to squeeze with the crowds on the buses.

Till we meet 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.
