Again, courtesy of my blackberry service and phone - no its not free, I'm payin for it so must make full use of mah.. And I'm really hooked onto this phone. Its sooo addictive!! Ahem, back to my main point.

Woo, met up with jiawei and xiaobai last night for supper - which was a first I supposed.

Waited for xiaobai to fetch me from my workplace around 2315? Before goin over to collect jiawei. Went to east coast lagoon to makan - been a long time since I last went there to have dinner/supper with my dajie as well as with my friends.

Reached ECL around midnight and yes, the place is still as lively as always over the weekends. Unfortunately for us, most of the stalls were closed. Which means, no char kway tiao or yummy hokkien mee.. So we just make do with mee goreng and an alternate ommelate with .. Shit, wots that called? The spicy fish meat wrapped in er.. Banana leaves and secured with 2 short sticks on each end? Most of the malay stalls had already run out of chicken satays. :((((

Luckily there's one last stall left but.. The satays were quite tasteless though we finished it in a matter of seconds and waited rather patiently for the other 2 dishes to arrive. They sure too a v v v v long time to come!

By the time we were done with our food, its like.. 1plus close to 2am? And... Hee, I suggested playing POOL (imagine this word in colourful colours). :D

Am craving to play that as well as goin ktv. But we picked the earlier coz ktv required a committment of 4hrs, which we don't think we can last that long..

It was fun, jw and xiaobai taught me a lot! Hey hey, they said I'm a v fast learner hor! *ya ya*

Went hm, showered and flopped onto my bed at 5am.. But it was fun!! Want to do it again with em!

Since I'm always out late with either my colleagues or my ff friends but not with them. :D

My goal for this 2mths - MUST HIT HOME RUN!!

Thought I'd better make full use of my blackberry service and to input my freshest memories forthe past few days before my brain decided to pack them into the 'memory vault'.

Yesterday was my cousin, huang qiang bro's baby shower. The little star was AND is very cute. Well, firstly he had long lashes curling out from his closed eyes and his baby smooth skin had the baby smell all over - something which most people would die to have and a thick mass of baby soft hair on his head.

Everyone was making baby noise, each eager to carry the star in his arms, to see him snuggle to get the right position. Cute!

Of coz the other newborn wasn't forgotten - huang xin's baby! Plus one of our cousin's 18mth old baby. He had those adorable eyes that can make a girl's heart melt at the look of it. Big round eyes framed by long lashes, who wouldn't be attracted to them?

It was great seeing most of my relatives again. Sixth aunt brought some vegetables that were grew by her, uncle garick the joker as usual.

Headed over to clifton's parents' place afterwards to have dinner. Though my stomach was quite full but the yummy dishes were just too tempting for me to ignore but to eat.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Met up with vi today. It was great man! Had not see him for some time and finally we get to meet up. Had dinner and a drink together. Pity clarence couldn't make it.. Next time perhaps. Vivi showed me pics which he took during his trip in taipei as well as the final display of fireworks at the 101 tower. Such wonderful piece of artwork that I wish I was there to witness it.

Met up with pang pang, discipline mistress and kim afterwards for supper. Supposed to be accompanying them only, but I ended up eating. Initial plan was to eat at oub, where DM came over to meridien to collect me. There, we witness a mini fight over 2 taxi drivers, who woukdn't compromise.

As we somewhat got 'lost' otw, I suggested going over to jurong to eat teochew porridge. The rest, especially 'DM' was on enough to drive all the way over! It was fun and I get my fill of the roller coaster ride. :D

Only those who been ther with me will understand what I meant. Its a pity that we didn't take any pictures.. Sigh. Am gonna miss the managers who'll be posted to other outlets.. :(

Wow! M blogging from the blackberry for the first time! Haaa, am shitting right now (yes I know, *roll eyes* its disgusting and unhygenic right? Heck) and thought I'd create a post at the same time. :P

Attended jacky cheung's concert on the 5th for the first time! He's so amazing, still looked the same just alittle aged and he talked about his life. He's humorous too, surprisingly. He was making little jokes about himself, feeling totally at ease on stage, oh and he giggles a lot! Haha. It was great to be that 'close' to him..

And it just so happened that I was doing opening on that day. Quickly took a cab down with dajie, luckily she bought a 1ft subway. We had to chomp it down quickly the moment we got our bags checked. Oh! Speaking of which, the lady who checked our bags was very friendly! Pity that I didn't get to see her name.

We managed to find our seats just as jacky was starting on his first piece. I was amazed to see the whole stadium (indoor) was fully packed. I mean, its not like we were attending jay chou or rain's concert. Plus the night we went was an additional one. Just imagine how the original night of the concert will be!

Sigh, seeing him on stage belting out his ballads, him talking and chuckling most of the time, dancing and performing snow.wolf.lake (xue lang hu) oh and not forgetting his almost ending songs as encore.. Omg! Dajie n I actually don't care and let loose. Well, the seats we happened to sit at are rather quiet and boring people. No, they aint old people but rather those of mid-late 20s to early 30s I'd say.

Bought lots of his merchandise and well, it all felt too surreal-the concert. How I wish I could go for another night and to sleep with him singing the lullaby while I sleep. How I envy his kids for having a dad to pen a song for them. And yes, I definitely slept deep that night. :D

Happy 2008 to all my friends!

A year came and gone, but not with all my memories. Let me see, a summary of my 2007 perhaps?

- found a job that pays me on time finally..
- met a lot of great people, had a wonderful shifu and made some good friends.
- rented a room
- caught this beautiful display of fireworks at the comfort of clifton's workplace

ah.. missed having christmas dinners with friends, exchanging presents.. maybe i should organise a bz one again this year! ;)

well, the busy period is over. don't really feel tired, thought i'd edit some pics to post it up here. still have loads of them in my camera, waiting to be transferred over. :P

my 2007 Dinner & Dance @ Swissotel The Stamford hotel (previously The Westin Stamford). was kinda excited about that particular day (27/07/07) as it's my 'virgin' d&d afterall! happened to be working on that day and we were scheduled to close at 6pm. Rita and i went off quickly over to the hotel as my baby helped to book a room there. awesome ya? i simply love hotel stays be it in SG or overseas!

took some of the views and was trying to absorb the image of the room while i changed clothes.

evening view:

It was a pity that we didnt book the room for another day (money factor as well as time) for there were going to be some fireworks display. :(


as the room was quite high up, around 24th storey if my memory didnt fail me, i just place the camera over the balcony's railing (of coz with the strap secured over my wrist! i was very worried about my new camera falling .... i doubt any of it parts will still be attached..) and took a quick pic of the swimming pool. it was quite windy and the view was superb!


can you see suntec? had another pic with raffles hotel's layout. :)


ahh, the infamous The Singapore Flyer. the view was even better over at ECP - as agreed by jeremy.

night view:



As you can see, they were already preparing the stage for National Day 2007.


the room. it's quite costly i'd say. about 200plus close to 300 after tax and such. luckily clifton managed to book the room with corporate rate, so we managed to save quite a bit. :D


the bar, wardrobe and the door to...

well, enough about the hotel. off we go to our dinner and dance! there's the flying dutchman and the other guy - whom i believed was the regular host for our company. quite entertainingly funny and surprisingly, our CEO was a very sporting fella! as the theme was uniform, some came in a group of prisoners with a warden, some in military uniforms, some in school uniforms, came as construction workers, etc. didnt really get to take pictures on them as the whole room was so packed that you cant really walk around. :(
oh, our CEO was dressed in a navy uniform - officer of course. haha.


with alvina and jackson - went through training with them. supposed have another 2 more but they were too busy inside.. so we just took the pic without them, as they most prolly forgotten to come out anyway. guess 2 weeks of training isn't enough to bond us.
