Early Morning Check Up & KTV Session

-
I was up quite early, even though it was a Saturday, as I had to do a medical checkup for an insurance plan that I bought recently for my retirement planning. 

You must be wondering why I decide to get the plan so early, even though I am only 30 years old. I have made some calculations beforehand and taken note that I needed to have a substantial amount for retirement considering the high cost of living in Singapore now. It can only get more expensive, rather than cheaper, so the decision was taken to buy now, rather than later.

The checkup was a long wait for me. I waited for about an hour before I was called up. I hated the repetitive questions that was asked about my existing medical condition. So I just hope that they could take me in without any conditions.
The long wait nearly caused me to be late for my group KTV gathering today. Luckily, my insurance agent, Linda gave me a ride to Kovan MRT, so that I could take a connecting train to Harbourfront MRT for my singing session at Vivo City Partyworld.

I had lunch with Paul, Ann, Alex & Jonathan Teo at Seah Imm Hawker Centre, before we met Belinda at the MRT station. We had our desert at MacDonald's at Harbourfront Centre before heading to our KTV session at Partyworld Vivo City.

This new Partyworld Branch is a good branch, with a good view of Resorts World Sentosa. The management was also quite accommodating to our needs, giving us the 5 rooms that we needed. Although the rooms were not of side by side, the arrangement was still okay with me and Jonathan as we managed to liaise with them for a proper headcount before the billing. The only drawback was one of the rooms air-conditioning was not cold enough, and people were sweating as they sang.

I tried several songs for the first time today. I guess you could never have thought that Paul would have tried these songs as it is not my style. Maybe, I was surrounded by 4 ladies (Candice, Germaine, Catherine & Jaycee) in my room, leaving me as the only guy in the room. 


I had the chance to listen to a good rendition of this song too by Candice & Jonathan Teo. 



I thought they did a good job, considering it was the first time they did a duet together.

After the KTV session, it was our regular feature, the birthday celebration. This time, it was for Karen Hui & Jonathan Ya. 

 


 

 

 We would like to thank Jas for ordering the cake for the birthday boy and gal.

After that, we adjourned to Hans Cafe at Harbourfront Centre for dinner and had a long chat before we went home.
I hope that the newbies who joined us today, Germaine, Jaycee, Alex, Pei Yong, Karen Tan & Jonathan Ya had a good time today.

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.
