KTV & Delicious Dinner Sat

-

My work week was rather okay. It was just that my colleague sitting beside me had asked me to check with my boss when she was planning to give the CNY off and to when it will restart the work after the CNY off.

Personally, I felt that I should not be the one asking as I am not like the majority of my colleagues, who are foreigners, with most of them being Malaysians. I am a Singaporean, so I should be celebrating my CNY in Singapore, as my relatives and friends are mostly in Singapore. Furthermore, my manager and & I had successfully helped our colleagues to negotiate for early release from work for Christmas Eve & New Year Eve, citing the heavy traffic anticipated at Orchard Road during these 2 days. Therefore, we should not be the ones asking for you all again.

Decided to let off the anger that has been stored for quite a while by singing again. Since I am taking a break from organising for my group activities for a while, due to our busy schedules. I joined the other group that is pretty active on Facebook, KTV Club SG to sing.

My 2nd time joining was really fun. I have to thank the organisers, Nigel & Hacktor for the arrangement to put me with Lance, Chloe & Gonnie as although I know some of the others, as they have joined the group ktv events that I have been organising, I feel more comfortable with them atound, and it was really fun.

Lance & I had been asked by Chloe to participate in the KTV Club’s new game segment. Fortunately, the task that I was asked to do was not that difficult. The task was to get a person with the surname “Tan” from another room to sing a duet with him/her. Luckily, I managed to find Serene, who came to our group’s last outing to sing with me. The prize for completing the task, a handphone strap.

Did this duet with Serene, which I thought was the easiest. =)
Was introduced to this song by Chloe, who sang this song yesterday. =)
Was surprised that Lance attempted this duet. I thought he did well, considering the female part with the 京剧 voice was a killer !!!
1st time doing this song =)

After the session, I was invited by my ex-client to have dinner with him at Ang Mo Kio. I was surprised that you are able to find cheap and good western food in a restaurant at the void deck of a HDB block.

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.

I guess Darling, SR & Rich want to watch "Memiors of A Geisha", especially after the ladies were so engrossed in the book at MPH during our last meeting. It can be afternoon or nite show, but afternoon is preferred as I would like to avoid the crowd shopping for CNY goodies & clothes. I would like to call the following people.

House Visiting & AVietnamese Girlfriend For Me??

I started my day early today at 8.30am. I was helping my mum with the flower decoration & slept at 1am last night. Had received CNY sms messages from my ex colleague, LS, Angela, Rebecca, Darling, Caifeng, Huixuan, Huiyu, Mac, Jaslyn, Joey, Candy , Kelvin, Rich & Mike. Thanks for all your well wishes, my friends. The 1st stop was at my grandma's place, which we were lucky to get a cab almost immediately after waiting for just a short while. In the ride, my mum & I were chatting casually about some issues that happened in S'pore recently, when we actually touched on the old cobbler cheating Vietnamese gals to be his bride. The cabby told us an incident that happened to his friend. His friend, a guy aged 39 had married a Thai gal aged 23 some years ago. Soon after, they became parents to a baby boy. When the boy turned 3, the gal took away the money in the joint bank account with her husband. The savings totalled to about $100,000, which the guy had saved for years fr...
