This outing was supposed to have happened 2 Saturdays ago, together with the birthday celebrations of Jonathan & Raymond, but Lanny was not able to make it as her family was on a short whirlwind trip to Singapore, therefore the date was fixed by her to meet up yesterday as she would be heading home to KL next Sunday. It is unfortunate that Ann & Raymond were not able to join us due to their work commitments.

The 1st part of the celebration was the KTV session. Although Lanny’s voice was not in a good condition yesterday (she has been down with a bad sore throat for the past two weeks), she still came by to sing with us. We really appreciate that. The session kicked off with Lanny, myself, Jonathan & Jue Liang taking turns to warm the room for the 1st hour as Evelyn & Weng Kiat were held up by something before this.

All of us took turns to become Lanny’s backup vocals as her voice was not able to hold for long. It ended up that towards the middle of the session till the end of the session, we ended up singing most of the songs together in the list with a majority of time with only 1 microphone as the other microphone had a problem that the technician was only able to rectify 1 hour before the end of the session.

Some of the songs we sang include :-

Evelyn says this MTV is cute. =)

We sang this song three times yesterday. I started off with this Chinese version, Lanny decided to do the Cantonese version after seeing this MTV. Weng Kiat did the Xiao Jing Teng version.

This was one of the few songs we repeated due to the faulty microphone.

We also sang this song as part of 鄧麗君medley of 7 songs that is only available at Partyworld KTV. It was introduced to me by Candy. It was good that we had two Cantonese song singers in Lanny & Jonathan. Otherwise, this medley of songs totalling at a length of 14 mins can’t be executed.

After that, it was dinner at the Asian Kitchen @ ION Orchard as Lanny wanted to have that for dinner. It is a Chinese restaurant that I thought had a similar feel to Grandma’s Place @ Nex. The food was not bad, but I must say the place is really crowded but the service is good.

Part 3 was a chill session at Coffee Club Express @ Wheelock Place. This was also where we asked Lanny to unwrap her gifts from us as most of them did not see the photo frame and the photos before we took photos as mementos.

We hope that Lanny would have a more fulfilling life back home in KL. We know that she has decided to be home to spend more time with her family. We sincerely wish her all the best. =)

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.
