Killer heels

Finally bought my hidden platform Heels. Its not exactly hidden but i guess it's not very obvious. I got it from Charles Keith at a very reasonable price. I hope its not going to hurt my feets.

With that darling, I am going to tower over the rest! Ha ha.

New friend

I am happy cos i find someone i can click with in my office. She is my new colleague, just joined 2 months ago.

She is abit tomboyish, doesnt beat abt the bush, generous, easy going and we have quite abit of common topics to talk abt. Like HK serials, HK celebrities, pop concerts. I think she is slightly older than me.

It somehow ended up that only the 2 of us went to PTB for lunch today. She is very easy to get along with, much better than Ms K. She sometimes offer to bring us out for lunch to Changi Village in her car.

She also doesnt mind letting us take her car and dropping us off somewhere along her way home after work. Nice person!

I think Wendy is right, not everyone can click. I am glad i found a new friend i can click with in the office. Hope Ms k doesnt mess around with this friendship.

My boss is away

He is going away for the next 2 weeks, till 11 Dec.

Had a meeting today on all outstanding matters. He spoke as if its his last day and he is leaving the company for good. Saying things like "he is not indispensable", "we must learn to deal with issues ourselves". I guess he has his own plans. Maybe resign after getting the year end bonus? I dont know.

Anyhow, i hope nothing major will happen during the coming 2 weeks!

I am getting weird

I am beginning to get worried. I don't know if it is due to age but i feel that i am getting more difficult to get along with. Be it with friends, colleagues or even my most beloved family.

I become more aloof, want respect from juniors, not as sociable and approaching. I get offended more easily too.

Help! Why am i turning into a weird character?

Is this part of ageing?

Singapore Flyer

Tonight is the first time i have been to the Singapore Flyer. I had dinner at one of the restaurants there- Seafood Paradise.

Looking up from the ground floor, I am a tad bit disappointed with the flyer. Not very majestic or pretty. Even the photos look average.

But i must say that i am slightly tempted to take the Flyer so that i can tell others that i have tried it before. But on second thoughts, at $29.50 i'll give it a go.

Today is also my first time eating Macaroon. I had it at Bakerzin. Very sweet, i dont really like it. Maybe i can try other flavours next time.

Stupid boss, make me angry again and its not my fault

Feel like giving him a few punches!

爽!!

Haha, i really must note this down.

My clerical colleague called me early this morning and scolded Ms K "CCB". If you know what it means in Hokkein, its really very vulgar.

What happened was she was in the toilet and saw Ms K. She greeted Ms K good morning but Ms K just ignored her and walked straight into the cubicle!

She was so mad and asked me when did she stepped on Ms K toes?

Although i asked her not to scold but in actual fact, i cant help but feel so good.

爽 man!

Waraku restaurant

Yesterday we had our Monday ladies night at Waraku restaurant, Marina Square. There are total 10 of us, all ladies so that we get 50% of the total bill. The guys are left at home :)

Divisional Function 14 Nov 08

Yesterday we had our divisional function held at our Sports Club. There are food, beer, wine, table games and lucky draws.

I am part of the organising committee and in charge of food. Had many preparatory work to do- calling caterer, deciding the dishes and confirming attendence.

Everything went well, everyone is pleased with the food, except that it doesnt seemed enough (i have feedbacked to the caterer). Almost of the food were gone, laksa, satay etc. I guess that means the food is well liked and delicious. My new boss said well done!

After the event which ended pretty early at 7.45pm, a few of us from my dept including the new boss went downstairs to the lounge for second round of drinks. Ms K was sitting next to him and she was talking to him alot! :( She can drink very well also. I think she had 5 or more glasses of beer that night. She can still drive home later.

Anyway i am still trying not to talk to her too much. Since she is so cold to me.

Enough of her. I am glad the event went well!

Back

I am back from the Oriental Hawaii.

I saw the abundance of sunlight when the plane landed and that puts me off already. So for the next 2 days, i was worried about getting tanned. Luckily the sky was cloudy on the last 2 days. Hai Kou was even cold abt 25 degrees in the day. My mum and aunties got darker though.

The trip was ok but the place is not as developed as the other cities in China and not as clean in terms of sanitary facilities.

Even the massage places that we went to were not as good and hygienic as those in Bangkok.

Nevertheless, we did have fun. Visiting our village, praying to ancestor, setting off firecrackers (they are really loud), playing mahjong under the shaded trees, having coconut drinks, eating the famous Wen Chang chicken, singing karaoke at the hotel. Btw, Karaoke very cheap only RMB 380 for a big private room and can sing till 2am, includes alot of beer and other beverages.

One minor incident- i got choked by fish bone on the second last night's dinner. We were having steamboat and i think the fish bone was hidden in the corn i am eating. I had such a hard time getting it out, in the process vomitting most of the food i had that night. I am so worried i have to visit the local hospital to get the bone out. The feeling in the throat is terrible, with something hard poking non-stop. Luckily after several rounds of vomitting, finally managed to get it out. This is my first time getting choked with fish bone, i am usually very careful. I certainly hope its the last time.

Here's the photo:

My hometown

Going to Hainan island tomorrow... i was there i think easily 15 years ago with my parents and almost the entire clan. How much has it changed?

I remembered there were alot of coconut trees and nothing much to do.

Hopefully it is no longer the same now. Heard there are nice seafood, massages, manicure, pedicure.. etc.

But just dread the flight, its at 6.30am, which means i need to reach the budget terminal at 5am... AHHHH! My beauty sleep........

Blissful marriage

Tonight's my HK friend, Fion and her husband, Chris wedding night.

I was invited to the wedding dinner in HK but unable to make it.

Nevertheless, my wishes still goes to them all the way from Singapore-

Congratulations and have many babies soon!
