A Well Deserved Break for Paul

-
It has been about 1.5 years since Paul last had a real break from work and it has been a while since I last blogged as well.


During my absence in this blog space of mine, I had been busy with:-
  1. My work - My assistant, who is a foreigner had went back to his home country for a home visit in mid June for about 2 weeks.
  2. My RC National Day Celebration - I have been tasked to plan for my RC's national day celebration on 9th Aug 2016. The fact that it is going to be the RC's last event before it closes for renovation makes it a point that the event has to be a success.
  3. Sourcing a new KTV venue - The group KTV has been seeing dwindling attendances. A few of the regulars has asked me to do some freshening up of ideas. A new meetup group has been created by me and new event venue has been created. Do look out for the details soon. =)
  4. National Day BBQ - A yearly affair with my KTV friends since 2013. I am tasked to co-ordinate and plan this event. I am looking forward to this event as there has been many happy couples in my friends getting engaged recently. =)
Despite my busy schedule, I found time to :-

  • IRAS VES Group Gathering - 4th Jun 2016 
This was the 1st gathering after the VES had officially ceased this year. Hopefully, the group can stay active despite the fact there is no VES. =)
  • Xiuling's Belated Birthday & Angela's Advance Birthday Celebration - 19th Jun 2016


Visit to "I Am" Café at Bugis & Hello Kitty Café at Changi Airport. The places were selected by Xiuling & Jia Jie respectively. Hope the birthday gals enjoyed the celebration. =)

  • Kluang Trip - 5th & 6th Jul 2016
 
 


A trip that I looked forward to, since Tianjin did not materialize. Did some research on Trip Advisor and found that I have covered 2 out of the 3 places covered. The Kluang Rail Coffee & Goat Farm despite the short time I had.

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. Darling Richard Rebecca Krys (Darling, please help me ask her, scared she not reading this!)

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...
