Birthday Gifts Shopping

-

I have 2 friends whose birthdays are approaching. For one of them, the birthday gift was also a farewell gift as she has decided to go back to her home country for good, while the other, I must say I regard him as my older brother to me, despite the short time that I knew him.

Buying gifts can be a headache sometimes. I was fortunate to have Evelyn & Ann to accompany me to get the gifts. In fact, they were be sharing the birthday cum farewell gift with 3 other friends and myself.

First stop, Adidas, where I saw a suitable gift for my older brother. He was telling me that he had too many of his red Liverpool jerseys, therefore I chose something different for him. Ann & Evelyn thought I made a good choice and the price was reasonable too.

We actually had wanted to get an Adidas jacket as a farewell gift for the female friend, but the display piece was the last piece. The ladies and I were not comfortable with the fact that it was a display piece. In the end, we decided to head to Nike at Wheelock Place, where I had previously made a research on the jackets and took one of the photos when I was there to collect my reserved new Man U kit. Once again, have to thank Yani for reserving this for me and giving me a special price for this. =)

Fortunately, Evelyn was of a similar build to our friend, therefore we were able to make a good judgement if the size we chose was right. In the end, we decided to get the jacket. Luckily it was not the last piece. =)

After the whirlwind 1.5 hrs of shopping, it was time for dinner. Evelyn had suggested NYDC but there were too many people queueing for a table. In the end, we settled our dinner at Sakae Sushi, where we had filling bento sets and a good 2 hr chat before  calling it a night.

Let’s hope that the birthday boy and gal liked the gift we chosen for them. =)

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.
