My New Year Eve

-

My New Year Eve started on a bad note as I had wanted to record the Mediacorp TV show “Together” but my DVD recorder settings went haywire as I was trying to program it to record the show. Anyway, it is alright since I have the 8 Days magazine, so it just means that I have to get my TV fix there.

The day was pretty boring at work as there was nothing much to clear yesterday. The whole day, which lasted till 5pm was about me staring at the PC and playing with my mouse and familarising myself with the new keyboard, after the old one I had suddenly stopped serving me last week and sending pre New Year smses to my friends. This festive season, I decided to craft my own sms messages to send to my friends as I believe that the sms messages with a personal touch will say how I feel about the friendship that we shared, rather than forwarding forwarded smses. Also, I didn’t send to many people as I feel that these friends are part of my treasured group of friends.

The long wait to 5pm was finally over, and I went to meet Rachel at Dhoby Ghaut MRT for the start of my Countdown Celebration to the Year 2010. First stop was to Boon Keng MRT to meet David, Jas & Alex to bring us for dinner at Levander Street at Xing Xiang An Hai Xian Wu.17562_223214167881_662892881_3270508_6590522_n 17562_223214172881_662892881_3270509_2485091_n 17562_223215137881_662892881_3270517_7965912_n 17562_223216222881_662892881_3270535_1392409_n 17562_223218232881_662892881_3270547_7417489_n 17562_223218237881_662892881_3270548_1773154_n 17562_223218262881_662892881_3270550_2647754_n 17562_223225652881_662892881_3270607_1521083_n17562_223219532881_662892881_3270572_2293010_n 17562_223219552881_662892881_3270574_330588_n 17562_223219562881_662892881_3270575_5818695_n 17562_223220542881_662892881_3270581_1815499_n 17562_223221697881_662892881_3270582_6953705_n 17562_223222812881_662892881_3270588_2620416_n 17562_223222842881_662892881_3270591_5773554_n

We had fried sweet and sour groupa, kailan with scallops and chili crabs with buns and soup. I really enjoyed the crabs. The restaurant seems to be quite popular, as all the seats were reserved when we got there.

After the delicious meal, we headed to Orchard Cineleisure to catch the movie, Treasure Hunter.

The movie was only so so movie in my opinon. I shall not comment on anything as it may agitate the fans of Jay & Lin Chi Ling.

After the movie, we headed to East Coast for our own countdown. I have to thank Jas and Alex for being so well prepared in bringing us the sparkles, light sticks and poppers to usher in the Year 2010. But the jam at ECP meant that we counted down to the Year 2010 in a cab. Not only that, they also had insect repellents and lotion to block the mosquitos. Poor Rachel was bitten a fair bit by the mosquitoes. We were also entertained by some music coming from the concert nearby.

Headed for home at about 2.30am as Rachel was tired and Alex was sniffing away like a running tap. I have to thank Alex and Jas for giving me a ride home, despite staying far away from my place.

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.
