Crab Bee Hoon...

Last night was too tired to blog... went out for dinner with Jacqueline, Cherie, Serene and Mother.. Dinner was yummy yummy... went to a Zhi Cha place in AMK... damn packed... alot of people eating crabs... seems very yummy...

We ordered 1 butter crab... 1 crab bee hoon, 1 yam ring and 1 sambal kangkong + extra bee hoon and soup for the crab bee hoon + 5 fried man tous.. total bill came up to $100+... 5 of us split... which equals to $20/person... very resonable...

even if i could not eat crabs... okie.. it's not that i can't eat crabs... rather i cannot touch the shell of the crab... if i do.. den if i use my fingers to touch my lips to eat the crab.. or pick the crab up n eat it like that... my lips will swell.. and i'll have Angelina Jolie's famous lips... not that i want to anyway..

the creamy butter crab is nice... the sauce is very unique... it's also not overpowering.. the butter taste is not too strong until you get sick of eating it.. it has a hint of curry favour.. due to the curry leaves which they have thrown in... not bad.. it's a must try... very different from the chili crabs...

The Crab Bee Hoon also not bad.. the soup is very tasty... the crab is also very big.. nice nice.. also another must try... the Yam ring is so so.. the kang kong not bad.. chili nice nice... *slurp* heehee...

just thinking and typing this out really makes my mouth water...

so dead bored now.. am in the office typing this post... finished counting the Handphone Pouches in the storeroom... now it looks so empty n clean... muhahahaa... cos Koh and me was packing it yesterday morning and afternoon..

now i'm waiting for 6.30pm to come before i go home... Daddy's picking me up... and i'm gonna sleep in the car... *yawnZ* so Sleepy....

2 Wakes today

today was almost late for work... but i reached there on time.. was the 1st one there even!! received my new silver name tag... magnet de.. must wear it everyday in the office... but sometimes forget to take it off... a bit ma fan.. but HR want it to be this way.. so no choice...


before lunch went to Jennifer's father's wake.. it's somewhere in Bukit Panjang... the flats there not bad leh... landscaping also quite nice.. okie back to the wake.. when Jennifer was talking about how her dad passed away.. i was trying not to be too emotional... it was very sad.. she was saying that her father died og liver cancer.. it's a very painful way to die.. as you cannot take any pills.. cos everything you take will have to go through the liver... she was also saying that her dad converted to Christianity not too long ago...


after the wake, we went to eat Fish Head Curry at Kuru's Curry.. not bad... the rice was served on a banana leaf... with 2 vege side dishes.. and 2 papadam... not too bad.. after lunch we went back for the fire safety talk... the next drill is going to be on the 31 Dec... hope the shutters dun come down again...


after the meeting.. surprisingly... i had not 1 but 2 phone calls from Event Companies who wanted to quote us for our D&D... i wonder where they heard the news from... anyway.. 2molo Brandon is coming down to give a presentation.. the last and final company to do so. as we need to give the answer to the Event Company fast...


Dad came to pick me up from work... together with mom... we went to the E Blackboard to have Western Food over at Bedok South i think... the portion is not too bad... for the main dish.. you can choose 2 sides to go along... my fish n chips was so so... dad's chicken wasn't too bad... mom's steak was a bit tough... it's like their standard is dropping.. or maybe there's too many orders already therefore the cook is too tired...


anyway.. mom was saying that Dua Kim's (Mom's elder brother's wife) brother just passed away.. and she was thinking of going to the wake... but dad said that he was meeting uncle joseph to talk about something with regards to the apartments... so he cannot go...


den i casually mentioned that i can drive him home and den drive mom to the wake over in hougang... muahhaha... surprisingly he allowed me to take the car... hahaha... so after dinner, we went home to change 1st.. den i took the car over to hougang... my parents was worried that i dunno where's the place.. but i know.. cos i've always observed which direction my dad is taking.. =D so i not that lu chi lah... muhahahahaa... only problem is i dunno how to park lah.. took some tries but managed too in the end... heehee...


when we reached there.. we went to pay out last respects to Dua Kim's brother... she den told my mom how he spend his last moments... so sad... from wat she and Jennifer said.. it got me thinking... maybe when you were about the die.. God or the Angel of Death will give you one last wish... like to die after seeing someone whom you've not seen in a long time.. it seems that it always happen.. that the person after seeing.. will just let go... and go in peace... it seems that way to me lah...


when my aunties and uncles asked where's my dad... my mom told them that he's at home.. he could not come as he had to do something.. den they asked her.. how you come here? my mom den told them i drove here... it's like a shock to them... hahaha... they were surprised that i could drive and that i already had my license... my dua kim said... i thought that you were still 18... all of you have growned up so fast...


after a while later i drove back home again.. during the drive, mommy den commented that i'm the only girl among the cousins which can drive.. and i said yes i am... muahhaha... which also means that after a night out.. if i have the car.. it means that i have to send everyone home...
Now i'm in my room blogging and going to sleep soon.. 2molo is another day for me.. well at least i can sleep longer on Sat and Sun... as there's no class... =D

dinner full full

bloody hell.. juz came back from dinner at Xian De Lai Steamboat, wanted to blog but the Internet connection was done.. have complained to Singnet already.. but still the same leh.. no difference...
in my last post, i was talking about my USB port got problem... seems to me that the problem automatically resolved by itself.. but there's still the sound.. whereby when u stick the USB into the com/laptop u will hear a 'ding tong' sound... still have that leh.. dunno wat to say leh...
juz got news that Michelle is resigning.. maybe she found a better job.. the news was told during Dinner.. therefore this dinner is sort of her farewell dinner.. hope Dal dun feel to sad.. cos he's the one who pulled her into the team.. i wonder if boss will hire another person ma... mmm...
also this morning had the presentation with Des D Mel.. i'm in charge of finding the Event Company for my company's D&D (Dinner & Dance).. total i got 4 companies... out of the 4.. the committee likes 2 of them... me personally think that.. out of 4 only 2 has given a better deal..
and the winners are : Des D Mel & ECS
ECS has done 1 of our D&D before.. i've also worked with them on serveral occations and they are very professtional.. plus the Emcee is not bad... if it's Ferris lah.. lol... Ferris is funnie and entertaining.. he also knows how to encourage the participants... the most important aspect of an event is the Emcee... if he/she is not entertaining or does not know how to get the crowed to warm up to him/her... the event will becoming totally boring... and it will be a wash out!!
Des D Mel.. i can say that the presentation is very good. The Best of the best.. think if Desmond sees this.. he's sure to be very happy... he's very professional.. and he can give you ideas of how to go about doing the event.. and he knows what he is doing.. can also can do magic tricks ala David Blane style.. not bad..
For me, i will choose Des D Mel.. as i have already worked with ECS therefore i know where is their standard.. whereas for Des D Mel, i have not worked with them.. if they can perform will doing out D&D.. they are sure to have a couple of jobs lined up for them!! I can take our D&D to test out new Event Companies without having to worry about how the members feel.. also dun need to hear too many negative comments...
well that's only from my point of view... dunno how the rest of the committee feels.. i feel kinda bad for squeezing the Event Companies until they cannot breathe le.. but sometimes that's how you do business.. like wat Desmond says.. You strach my back i'll strach yours... but sometimes cannot take full advantage of people... if that's the limit of what they can offer dun keep stressing them.. if not it'll be very hard for my department to call and ask them for quotations le... the event company also dun want to take our business ar... cos they earn like very marginal...
had a small discussion with some colleagues.. reached a conclusion of 'someone'... dun wanna say anymore.. juz in case 'someone' stumbles onto my blog and reads.. den everyone will get into trouble and will be very hasd to work with one another... think i need to come out with some code names where the people i trust will know who is it.. i shall go think of some names to give my friends.. muahhahaa... =)
Dinner was a yummy affair... there was a total of 6 of us... Me, Serene, Michelle, Koh, Dal n Boss.. it was a bit too much le... the mala soup was super duper hot.. cannot take it.. nose start to leak again... had loads and loads of food.. nice nice...
after dinner went to Bugis to play some Archard games.. played the Mario Brother's Go Kart... muhahahaha... so fun.... so cute~!!!! heehee.. i like the mushroom headed guy... everytime i use him i seem to be winning.. muhahaha...
took a bus home from Bugis.. dun want to take MRT back cos so late le.. i know that Daddy is sleeping le.. even though he says he's not... cannot always make him come n fetch me from the MRT Station de... must let him rest...
tomorrow going to Mdm Jennifer's mother? father's? wake... not very sure which is it.. 2 weeks ago head that he/she was in the ICU... sometimes i think of death as the better alternative.. rather den lying in the bed suffering.. i would rather die... easier for me and my family members.. cos the hospital bill is not going to be cheap... 2nd thing it's less painful...
Okie.. i think i shall stop here.. willl try to update more since now i have no excuse that the computer is not in my room... of cos.. heehee.. i always can say that the internet connection is not working.. muahhahaha.. tired tired le.. time to go sleep.....
nitey niteZ...

Depressing Mood

i'm still coughing like nobody's business.. i currently feeling kinda depressed.. juz finshed my marketing exam... didn't do well for my core module marketing exam, might have to go through the boring lectrer's lesson again.. on the brighter side. at least i have mel there... one thing which i'm worrying about is how much is the sub paper... if it's a thousand plus.. den i have problems.. but i dun wan dad to pay for me. dun want him to worry about money... have to start saving money for my module already... think i'm going to get into depression soon...
my lappie is giving me problems.. not really problems but more like irritating me.. something about the USB malfunction.. damn irritating.. might have to call Dell... think i'll bring my lappie down to office tomorrow... also thinking of configuring my lappy's outlook express to my office email... den at least i dun have to borther serene to help me check...
was thinking of quiting my job again.. but no job how to get money.. haiz.. sometimes i wonder why do i put myself though all this. is this worth it? worth all the suffering? i've come to the stage in life whereby i'm sick n tired of everything i do...
at least he has her.. i'm nutting to him.. i dun have any status with him.. i'm juz something whereby he can make use of.. she can run to him but can i? i can't... i'm not accepted... i'm juz an extra.. a 3rd party.. i've even thought of giving him up.. but i always fail to do so.. i know i'll hurt myself more with each passing day.. but i can't help it.. i'm falling deeper.. i want to stop.. but it's so hard...

sicky sicky Me

I'm super sick... down with a very very very bad flu n cough... i also made a lot of 'wan tons'... can last for 1 whole week for breakfast, lunch n dinner... muhahahaha...

i also think that i'm infecting alot of people... especially my classmates... you guys are darlings to tolerate my constant sneezing, coughing n blowing of my nose...

I could feel that i was beginning to be sick on Thursday nite after my Tourism & Hospitality exam.. when i was about to sleep.. i could already feel the bacteria fighting in my throat...

On Friday, when i went to work.. i was already sneezing and blowing my nose... i also could feel that i was having loads n loads of phlegm's in my throat n nose... the feeling was terrible... OMG.. also had meetings with the Event Companies for our D&D... brought in 1 box of tissue to use.. that was how bad my nose was..

after work... i left at about almost 5.30pm.. was suppose to leave at 5pm.. but i was waiting for Michelle to come for the meeting.. she's another personal from another event company which i called to give us a quotation as well as a proposal... total i asked for 4 Event Companies to gimme their proposal... which also reminds me that i have to inform them that the date has changed from the 23/24 May to somewhere in April... will have to inform them on Wed. Cos i will be taking an MC tomorrow to rest b4 my last and final bridging exam!!!

okok.. continue from where i left from work.. i took 502 down to Orchard... was feeling dizzy... feeling not very good already... once i got off the bus at Orchard... i called my mom to tell her that i'm going home n not going for class... had fever by the time i reached home.. once i reached back i fell asleep under my blanket..

next day i reached class at 10am... too tired.. too lazy to wake up so early... super shacked out after school... nose was leaking... throat was hurting.. can't taste anything... everything i eat is blend... finish class early... went shopping with KG and Mel... Went to Poh Kim and bought a VCD.. Gigolo Wannbe... Not that Funnie... Not that nice.. SoSo only.. den after that pei Mel to G2000 to get a jacket.. not bad.. quite a good deal.. from $100+ he only paid $59.90.. when he was trying out the jacket.. there was a guy there who dunno bought wat 2 months ago and now wanted to change the size.. he was like quite rude to the sales girl loh... i overheard (surprisingly with my stuffed ears) heard him tell the sales girl that it's your shop problem.. and that he bought that shirt/pants 2 months ago when it's not on sale... But from my point of view, i do not think that it's the shop's problem liao.. cos common sense.. on the receipt it clearly states that for Exchange of items it'sm within 7 days loh... 2 months = to 7 days meh?? Of cos No right? den somemore.. he never bring the receipt.. i see the guys face liao i wanna slap him le.. he got that type of face whereby you juz wanna slap him de... that guy is either trying to pull a fast one on the store or making life difficult for the sales girl.. somemore.. the sales girl already told him that they don't have that stock in the store le... and the guy kept insisting that she check for him if there are in the other outlets.. think the sales girl also LL got to help him check... some people are so full of shit... that's the ugly side of Singaporeans.... sad to say...

took bus after school instead of taking mrt... cos dad went climbing in Mt. Ophir again.. he did not bring back the car...he left it in the office... by the time i got home i was totally shacked out again... nose was sore... sore from blowing with all the tissues...

Today it's the same thing again... only difference was that Mel's dad gave me a lift home... so kind of him... was trying not to cough in the car.. cos i know once i start i can't stop... den my cough is not those light and gentle cough.. it's those monstrous type of cough de.. very terrible de.. can cough until my sides all pain...

came home n rest somemore... daddy came back from his climbing... bought me fish noodle soup.. still cannot taste anything... daddy told me not to go to work tomorrow.. he wants me to see the doctor and stay at home to rest.. get well and go for my exam on Tues... he told me to call My boss or Dal and when i talk to them cough like mad... muhahaha... =D my daddy so funnie...

think i'll heed his advice... gotta go rest now... *sniff sniff*

as Busy as a Bumble Bee

It has been a while since my last post...

have been too bz and too tired to do any postings...

have not recovered since new year's eve...

have started school again... and complained big time.. cos my school changed the timing of my class from 7pm to 6.30pm... WTF man.. i finished work at 6.30pm leh... after writing in to feedback.. they told me that they intended to make all classes at 6.30pm.. for consistancy... it's like the lamest reason that i'm heard so far...

at the end of my Business Law module, from wat i heard.. my classmates all want the timing back to 7pm.. which is more fair to us. not everyone finishes at 5.30pm... in the end.. the School also LAn Lan.. changed back the timing.. muhahahaha...

classes are like crash courses.. very intensive... worst still.. the bloody school is not very sure if we start our core modules in March or May.. omg...

anyway... on the brighter side, i recieved my new 'toy'.. heehee.. so happy.. finally can watch movies in my own room le.. but i encountered an error... think if it happen again.. i'll call Dell...
