Shopping Spree!

The new sch term is starting soon and I guess I better start getting some new clothings before I start to rush for them like mad. Went shopping with Mike yesterday evening. It was kinda last min so didnt get Eric along since he is booking in soon.

Got a pair of berms and a polo tee from G2000. It was on sale so i guessed it was quite worthwhile. After which went to a few places but their clothing aint up to my likings. We combed Marina Square and decided to head Suntec. Well, just when we decided that thr's nth much for us there, I suggested going to Fox and guess what? Hahaha, both Mike and I each got something for ourselves at Fox. I always thought there wouldnt be any suitable tees for me from Fox because of my small frame but guess I was wrong. Lol. Purchase 3 items and get additional 10% off on top of the 30%. Of course, we wouldnt miss the great deal. Mike got himself a polo tee while I got myself 2 tees. Must grab Eric there the next time.

Great achievement for the day!

Oh, I've also got myself a facial scrub from Body Shop!

Polo Tee + Berms = $42

2 Tees = $36

Facial Scrub = $20

Total shopping expenses= $98

Alright, given the number of purchases I have made, I guess the money was quite well spent. Yay!

Ikea

Went Ikea today with my college friend. A new place for gathering I guess. Town is too boring and nothing much. Anyway, I like nice things so visiting the showrooms are definitely much worth my time rather than shopping around the shops in town. Bought a clock at a very $2.50. Damm cheap right? The one in the living room has broke down a few mths back and no one seems to be bothered. Well, since this is cheap and simple, i dun mind getting it. Will show u guys once I put it up onto the wall. And pls bring along a carrier in future. Ikea now charges for plastic bags. Maybe im too sua ku, didnt know it till now.

Wanted to buy a table lamp but unsure of which one yet. My friend was telling me that Ikea light bulbs are ex. Not too sure how true is it. Anyway, was thinking of changing the curtains as well. This wld mean the need to drill holes on my walls again. Not too sure if Daddy is comfortable with that. After all, we paid a hefty price for our current curtains.

That's all for today. Well, at least its somewhere enjoyable.

Weekend Car

Can anyone enlighten me, why would one want to buy a luxury weekend car?

I've seen a weekend Cefiro car at SW's place and saw another weekend Audi car while on my way back from gym this afternoon. If its due to costs, then get a normal car will do right? Why the need to buy a weekend luxury car instead?

Can anyone explain?

First day

Today marks the first day of me being a boy tai-tai (according to SW). But my life is far from a tai tai can? Basically woke up pretty late today cos of the long hours of tv on Sunday. Early in e morning, watched some tv programmes in the 1990s, groomed Nox and as usual, after feeding Nox with the good stuff on Sunday, he refused his food this morning. Well, then no food for the day, too bad! >.<

Spent the early afternoon cleaning up the house, sweeping, mopping, wiping before I head for my first tuition lesson. Not bad eh? Finally found a tutoring job. Yeap, hope this student can get good grades under my teachings.

That's all for the first day of slacking. Not really a tai-tai ya?

Dim Sum Dollies

Hello!! Alright, Friday marked my last day with my employment. Nth much, had a mini party in the office with some pizza and yeap, tt's it. Also, the new cabinet came so did some re-shuffling and now, the office looks presentable and well-commented by many. However, the Boss made it sound as though she was the one with the ideas and all when I did up most of the things. Oh well, nvm, she can show the whole world and claim the credit for all I care. lol

Went for Dim Sum Dollies, the History of Singapore yesterday (14/07/07) at Esplanade, it was sure an entertainment night. With laughters and some Singaporean/ internal jokes about some Singapore history. Nice settings, great performers, I really enjoyed myself, esp the last part when they start singing Singaporean songs and everyone started waving their flags ard, it was heartwarming. Well, I was pretty attracted to Selina Tan I am unsure why. Probably because she is comfortable with herself (in terms of appearance) and successfully make use of her talents to stand out in the Arts industry. To summarize, the whole 2000 of us really enjoyed the night, and the money is definitely well spent. Kumar, the Queen is the next upcoming event, anyone? =P

Updates

hello bloggie!! Know I haven't been updating for awhile. Well, I have kept myself occupied this week either with meetups with my friends or exercising and of cos, walking my baby Nox in e evenings.

Last Saturday was Mike's 21st Birthday and so we celebrated by having a simple, erm maybe not so simple meal at Waraku, a Japanese restuarant at Marina Square. I guess it amounted to $120, there about and it was the Birthday Boy's treat. lol. We proceeded to Kbox after which and sang to our hearts content. We also presented the birthday boy a Fossil watch as his 21st gift, hope he likes it. Everthing ended at about 2am. Thanks to Mike's partner who gave us a treat, probably as a Birthday present for Mike? Well parking was ex because I drove to school that day and ended at Suntec early, the parking cost me freaking 10 bucks!!! I was like -.- Why can't they just give per entry fee and I can be a happy reversible saving on transport. >.<

Mr SW came back from Melbourne last Sunday and the initial plan was to pick him up from the airport, unfortunately both cars were taken up and his flight was delayed. Anyway, met him up on Monday evening instead. Went for a prata meal and we talked about my work instead of his melbourne trip. -.- Accordingly to him, he totally enjoyed his trip and I guess it much relaxing over there as compared to the fast moving Singapore. Well, he suggested me going but reversible has a tight budget to meet. As spoken, it would be years later before I start on my travelling journey. He bought me a ripcurl cap and a wooden ornarment which looks like a surf board. I'm not too sure if its coincidence, he bought me a brown cap. lol. Yes, I'm pretty attracted to the colour brown. I have brown shoes, brown wallet, brown cap, brown watch and brown sling bag. Don't ask me why but I just like this colour.

Met up with my Uni friends on Thursday at Holland V. Yes, its Holland V, gosh so far can? All because they wanna use a voucher that someone has won during the orientation. The meal came up to over $300 for a grp of 16? But with the vouchers and all, each person probably paid less than $20, which I tot it wasn't worth for the food. Nvm about tt, just take note in future.

Took leave on Friday to settle some admin stuff with my mum and as usual, the Boss will always make her presence felt. LOL. I've expected it. Oh my ex-supervisor called me in e morning to see how i have been and of cos regarding the long delay for our meet up. That's very sweet, we had a short chat while she was on the way to work. We have agreed to catch up once I'm done with my work next week. Yay!

Headed to the pool in the morning for a swim, it was cloudy so the sun come and go quickly, not too sure if I was any darker then before. Went for a hair cut after settling my stuff with mum and met up with SW. We brought Nox for walkies at punggol park and headed to urban pooch for a meal. As usual, Nox refuses to eat the food we ordered for him, just like that time when we were at Dogoholics. But at least, no dogs was there to finish up for him. SW tao pao for the little, erm or rather the big Goldie who is having menses at home. Lol. Goldie's finally a big gal yeah? Probably SW is right, Nox is not very socialized in the sense that he kept sniffing at other dogs but he doesnt play with them. He wld just sniff sniff and sniff. Tsk, need to work on that soon.

Anyway, got to head school soon for orientation preparation. Cya guys ard and of cos, I will try get the pictures up soon.

Update on work.

Alright bloggie, my accountant in the office left last Friday while I was still away from my orientation. Came back office this week feeling a little lonely. Well, I had a discussion with my boss today and told her that its pretty stressful working for her and if she doesnt change or improve, she would not be able to get her staff to stick with her for long. of cos, all these were said in a nice and politically right manner. hahaha. oh well, I have always been a politically right person to start off with in the first place. She kinda realised what went wrong and I think now she is in the process of doing som reflections.

These days work has been quite alright and I'm really hoping that it will stay this way till I leave a few weeks later. I don't want to have anymore shit coming in at work. Just let it end peacefully can?

Surprisingly, just when I tot I was under-performing, my boss told me that she is actually quite happy working with me. I was kinda taken aback but of cos, I took her praise with thanks. According to her, she would like to see me back in the office during my future vacation. oh well, I'm really flattered by her offer, at least, I have a job opening for me in future. =P At the same time, I seriously feel that I'm still under-performing and I have no doubt abt that. Maybe because I have high expectations on myself but ya, I did not think that I really fair well in this job.

Hope everything will change for the better. Be it for the company, for the boss, or for the boy (ME!) in the office.

Melbourne

SW finally completed his course of studies and has decided to reward himself with a trip to melbourne this morning. sent him off in the morning cos we have not been meeting for close to 2 weeks and it wld be another week before he returns. So we decided to meet up this morning for breakfast and at the same time can send this boy off. His volkswagen cab (ya my first time taking a volkswagen cab) came to my place to pick me up at 7 plus before we headed to the airport. Had burger king for breakfast before he left for the departure gate. just one pic for today.

Orientation

bloggie! just got back from orientation. Gosh, it was sure a hectic camp. Well, basically we have games after games. But the games are rather dirty. It involves paint, mud, shampoo, flour etc. Something more interesting was the 'Fright Night', where there were pple dressing up like ghost, trying to scare us while we walked thru the walkway. Pls, they really spent effort in dressing up like ghost that it freaked most of us out.

Alright, as usual, i was burnt by the sun during the sentosa trip and i returned back like a red lobster. Couldnt remember if i have nv slept thruout a day at any camps before but i slept for less than 3 hours last night or rather this morning. yawn.

that's all for today.

Eric's B'day celebration 090607

Alright, Eric celebrated his birthday one mth early on the 9th of June. It was a pretty spacious function room at his new Condo. Guess he received quite a few presents and both Mike and I as spoken earlier, we bought him a pair of zara jeans, I surprised him with another belt from Queen's couture?? izzit spelt like tt? lol. let the pictures do the talking. Check out the birthday cake Eric's godmum made for him.

Mike and I while waiting for the guests to arrive.

Well, since Eric was the host, he was super duper busy entertaining his friends, Mike and I decided to self entertain ourselves by taking photos. Nope, I did not drink cos I was driving that day. Just went for a swim earlier in the day and I only look like a red lobster in this picture which i dunno why.

Take a look at Eric's b'day cake. Specially done by his godmum. Looks delicious yea? *Slurps*


Yea, tt's the three little boys. All gonna be young adults soon.


The birthday boy and I!

Nope, Mike wasnt trying to kiss me. He was trying to act cool.

As you can see, I was already super duper tired by the end of the party. Oh no, we still need to clear up the place.

That's Mike. He sure looks silly in this. Lol.

We went MOS with Eric's classmates after which. First time there though. As you can see, I'm really really tired. Sent 2 of Eric's classmates back since they were staying ard the area and I dropped dead on my bed after which. Hope you have enjoyed yourself that day Eric.

Alright, going for my orientation camp tml. Hope it would be a fun and not too tiring one. That's all for today. See you guys!

Busy Saturday

bloggie, yesterday was sure an occupied weekend i ever had in the past 6 mths. First I had a meeting in office in the early afternoon, then met up with my army buddy for lunch and shopping at Suntec.

Its the great singapore sales, dun waste it. well, I've gotten myself a pair of puma shoes. I have been looking for this pair of shoes and was very reluctant to buy when I saw it a few mths back cos I tot it was a waste of money but now when I saw it again, I tot I must buy else I would nv find it again, plus it was on sale!! In the end, I bought it at a price of $70, good deal yea?? lol. Of cos, my army buddy got himself like one Adidas tee, one soccer ball, and 2 sets of dvd. He sure spends more than me. (no wonder he always says he is broke when he is earning much more than me)

After which, met up with Eric and Mike for dinner in Orchard. Once again, we went shoppin and its Eric's turn to buy a pair of pony sneakers. It so happened tt that pair of shoes was one that I wanted to get as well. Since I have already gotten one pair, thr's no excuse for me to get another. He sure took a whole lot of time to decide on which pair to buy.

After Eric and Mike, I went to meet Shao Wei and gang. Went to suntec again for another round of walking and we headed str to vivo with all shops closed and we ended at pacific coffee company. But thank goodness cos my legs are tired from the whole day of walking.

Home sweet home after which. Tired but I sure miss this kind of occupied days which i used to have. It used to be 'Strictly by appointments only'. Lol.

updates

dear bloggie,

apparantly work doesnt seems to be smooth for me. felt im under performing and true enough my boss actually came to see me and implied that im not meeting her expectations, then accusations of things set in. i might not have given 100% to this job but before i will give, tt person must be worthy of my help. apparantly i cant force myself to go an extra mile for this job, i dun understand why. not forgetting the accusations are so not true.

im equally concern abt my performance as my boss and probably being bosses, when they dun see results, they thought we are just having the 'hack care' attitude. well, ive seen so many in my previous employment, i cannot blame them for that but im not one of them alright.

bloggie im really very upset and disappointed over this.

New job

Hey bloggie, have started my new job since mon. Everything is still alright, still trying to get use to the working environment and all. Not too sure if I am working for the right person, still praying and hoping for the best and that I have not find a wrong employer. Its not really an easy job and can be quite stressful for a temporary job. I must survive through.

I have bought myself 2 new shirts and a pair of new leather shoes for this new job. Cost abt $130 in total. Is it the standard pricing? I am unsure though. But i do like this pair of shoes very much. =)
