Movie Thursday – Old Dogs

-

I had wanted to catch this movie since last week. I managed to get Qiqi and her friend, Gonnie to join me for this movie at the Cathay Cineplex last night.

Before the movie, we had our dinner at the Japanese Food Court at Paradiz Centre. I would like to thank Gonnie for recommending this place to me. I remembered seeing this place being featured on a TV programme on Channel 8 before. This food court has a nice ambience and an interesting feature is if you spend at least $4.50 on the food, you will enjoy a free flow of drinks at the food court.

After the dinner, since it was still early, we decided to stay at the food court where the three of us chatted for a while, before we went to the cinema for our movie. This was my first time meeting Gonnie, and it is actually a surprise that we had quite a lot to chat. Maybe we are all in the accounting field of work, which makes it easier to break the ice. I must say that he is a friendly guy.

The movie was great, as I felt that it is hilarious but it does carry a message about friendship and family. It makes me wonder how John Travolta and Robin Williams can maintain their friendship for 30 years in the movie. I am hoping that I will be able to maintain such long friendship with most of my friends. The message about family is also quite strong in the movie as it states that children are not a burden or chore to the family, but it can bring joy to the family if we give them the care and concern. Maybe the movie will be a good advertisement for couples that do not wish to start a family to reconsider their decision. Haha.

After the movie, we headed for home. Thanks Qiqi and Gonnie for the enjoyable night!

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.
