WeiMing's mocktail presentation

I was surprised by Ming and his classmate. They decorate the “ballroom” by themselves. Each of the students plays different role. Ming was the waiter for the day.
Ping and me kept making fun of him. Anyway, we are glad that he takes his studies seriously. His teacher said that he believes Ming is good nature except that he is easily influence by others. We too agree with his teacher.


Drinks that were created by the students




Well, I did lose my way while I was driving there; it was the 1st time I used horn due to the stupid bus (e bus uncle nv check blind spot)
Off to bed. Feeling so SLEEPY now!

Niteout with my gals!

Had a wonderful night out with my girls last nite.
Feeling SUPER lethargic now but I felt its worth it!
We went Dampsy Road for red wine. Followed by boat quay for hard liquor.
It was a "shorts" nite for us.
Forgotten what the name of the wine but it was a gd recommendation fr Bebe.

Abbey, MeiXin & Me

Ed Hardy; the brand of this cap. I nv knew this brand before.
The video of "38, Siao and 38siao" gals
RuYu & Xin


Love them, my gals! More outing to come but we muz meet and end early.
Otherwise, very tiring ley!

After work, Im gg with Ping to Ming's sch (Shatec) mocktail event. Its their sch theme party. I guess they are gg to present wad they had learnt in sch for us to see.

Monday blues

Im busy on Monday morning. Real busy as I need to calculation the accrual. Kinda difficulty as my calculation isnt that good.

TBP open a new restaurant, Lao BeiJing.
Went there with Ah ma to try out.

In terms of XiaoLongBao, services, speed and price, DTF is better but for LBJ, their location and their GuoTie is not.

While waiting for our food to be serve


Nambu San treat me Haggen daz ice-cream today but in choco flavour. =)
My room desk is now filled with lotsa of seaweed! I love seaweed and I can eat 2 packets per day. =)

This brand is nice but per pack cost $2.95


Catherine asked me to go HerWorld for hair ad but once again I declined her offer as they wants model who is willingly to cut short their hair. Im not ready to cut my hair short.

Oh ya, I didnt get choosen for the shampoo ad :(

25 May 2007

Rogue?

After work, we went to "Rouge"? for a short drink. Located just opp my office.



The guy with the long hair is my MD, Nambu San
The other guy is Matoba San
The lady is Chrisy.

Iwashita San taught and told me to fill in those oil prices for him daily in his PC. Im slowly learning and absorbing things abt commodities and stks. Not as boring compared to the past few days but Im still kinda free! =)
Nambu San has asked Christy to check both Jap language sch and Investment sch for me to study in.
Kinda cool rgt! I mean I had joined them for less than 1 week and here they are looking for sch for me.
Have a good weekend!


Me...!

NewYork NewYork

Ah Yi was on MC, Christy met her ex-colleague for lunch therefore I ate my lunch alone
I seem to be a loner! Felt so upset, so emo!
But I know I have to learn to. To learn eating alone.
I miss the times eating with Shinmei staffs.
I went to The Arcade alone and I ate tom yam fish soup.
It cost me $5! I was taken aback by the price. In the past when Im working at Shinmei, the max price for fish soup was only $4.

Basically, you can see how free I am while at work. To be able to change my blogskin.

Met up with Ms Angela after work at NewYork NewYork.

The food was not bad, I would say.
She gotten a camera that is same as mine except that hers was in red colour, mine is in black.
She gave me a card and a lil keychain =) A card with alot of meanings in it. Isnt she great?!
And indeed, I was touch by her actions.

Thanks gal. I love the card.



She say this 2 characters represent us

A cheap deal for ev one who wanna drink. 1 mug of beer cost $2.90. That is the happy hr promo from Shin Bar.
Drove her home too. My 1st time ferrying her after getting my license for 38 days. Drink-driving :P Luckily, nth amiss happen.



Next time, its gonna be her turn driving me home. I haven have the chance to be ferry by her. Abit disappointing that I wasnt her 1st friend who is being ferried by her but nvm la. I wont blame her. Wahahaha

We used to know each other inside out, chat on fone frequently, meet up at least once a week or even daily, used to be like a lesbian partner but now I don deny the fact that we two has drifted apart. :(

Simple saying: Just dial 8 digits and chat with the person for 5mins; asking how are you doing, is oso good enough BUT can we really do that? Lolz.
I shall try doing so but hopefully she wont tot that I went mad. Haa..

I wish to be like the past with her but with all these new yet hectic work and schooling schedule; who will have time for friends. I mean to meet up that often as compared to non-working life.
But Im glad that, I still feel ease when being with her earlier on and there is no wall builded in between us. But for her case, I have no idea la. Hope she too feel ease being with me and still consider me as her best buddy. Haa!

Im HAPPY. I enjoyed catching up with her.
More to come ya!

* Lazy to take photos of the card so I decided to steal e pics from her webby *

23 May 2007

Thanks Michelle!
For providing me the link to ebuddy otherwise I will be bored to death!

Meeting up Ms Angela tml at NewYork NewYork.
I have nv been there before but heard that the food served is tasty.

Working in Sumisho is much relax than in Shinmei.
Nth for me to do at all! Just some filing and so on.

Maybe this is just the beginning hence Im SO FREE but I want to learn more.
They say will let me attend Bloomberg training soon.
Each of them have a PC specially for Bloomberg.
Happy as they are willing to let me go for this course.

Maybe after my Dip and I have settle down in here, I will go for some courses/test on trading at IBF. It is also related to insurance. In terms of exams. 1 stone kills 2 birds.
Im happy as now Im making changes to my life and opening pathway for my future. What about u? Gd luck fren and all the best in things that you wanna do =)

21 May 2007

I didnt lunch with Ah Yi as Christy told me she wanna lunch with me.
Couldnt reject her as 1st day wad so I have to put Ah Yi plane. Guess she will understand and not blame me.

It was good working in Sumisho.
The colleagues there was nice; I guess I prefer working with small group of ppl rather than with lots of ppl.
Colleagues told me that I can slowly learn my things. No hurry and keep telling me to take it easy.

Matoba San (Security trader) told me, if I want to buy books or take up courses regarding stocks, equity and so on, I can do so and claim to the co.
Bcos Nambu san(My boss but he is out station till Fri) has actually told him to get the books for me.
He said that I might get bored after a period of time as this is mostly on admin side. If I learn to trade, I can help out in future. Meaning new jobscope. But I told him slowly slowly as I wanna learn how stock market work 1st. Like that I will be more stable.
Heard from Christy that our co. is oso under SDF so it kinda good if i wanna further my studies.

Sumitomo staffs are entitled free admission Planet fitness but not Sumisho staffs. Dammit. Haa.. Enjoyed myself today. Learn new things about how stocks market work and so on.

There will be another staff joining us in early june. She will be helping with the accs side.
And there will be co. dinner on 8 June =)

Last but not least, Japan holidays are more compared to sg holidays! =)

1st day in Sumisho Capital

Was msning with Sean last nite.
He said wanna pass me the invitation card.
Am happy for him that he and Esther is getting marry soon.

I guess I will like working in Sumisho =)
Christy told me that I can choose the lunch time that I want. As long as I come back within an hr.
So I will be meeting Ah Yi for lunch. Haa...

Someone pls teach me how to access to msn/web messenger or hotmail email.
I think my co. ban it.
I will die if there isnt any access to email.
Boredom is killing me.

20 May 2007

Flowers from Alan. All flowers packaging seems to be the same har?! Lolz


Edwin bday!


Group picture


The ladies


Once again, camera whoring.


A fun day.
Oh ya, I went to pick Mummy off work and send her home ytd.
The 1st time I ferry her.
It has been a long time since I last saw her. I couldnt recognise her as she cut her hair short.

After 2 week of long rest, Im finally starting work tomorrow. Anxious yet happy. Hopefully things will goes well.
My lunch time 12pm - 1pm. So if anyone of you is at Raffles during this time frame, can jolly well meet me for lunch ya!

Found a tracing device. Try it!
Kinda accurate.

Sorry peers, Im too lazy to blog.
Hopefully the pics has done the talking. Haa

17 May 2007

Donut Factory

After hearing so many good comments on Donut factory, I cant imagine I did this.
Alone, I queue 3 hr plus just to buy the donuts.
I guess, I am just too free. Haa!

15 May 2007

Agreement signing

Yesterday, I find my way down to Sam Leong without the help of road directory.
Well, I did stop by to ask those passbyer la. Haa..

I went there as Catherine asked me to go down for casting. A shampoo ad.
Rather fun!
The photographer took pics and video of me.
They say will inform to me again whether Im selected or not.

Met up with Ben after my casting and Alan at night.



He said I seem to be skinner. Am I?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gg down to Sumisho soon for the agreement signing =)

13 May 2007

Mother's day'07

Suppose to return car today but I told Gopi that I will rent an additional day from him.
I drove to East Coast =)
Had Korean food with my family as a Mother's day treat for Ah Ma.

Korean food is not to my liking as most of it have to be eaten with veg.
I prefer seafood!

12 May 2007

Interview at Sumisho went well. I accepted their offer.
Hence I guess I wont be gg to Itochu on Monday. I may seem to be unprofessional but everyone wants the best isnt it?

The benefits are definitely much better.
The demerit... I have to work on sg public holidays because this co is working on Japan stock exchange.
Which means I have to follow Japan calendar.
My job position: Trader assistant and office administrator.
Cool har?!

They told me probably my most busy period will be from 2 - 5 pm. In the morning, if I want to do my own things like study, learn more about Equity, Commodities and so on, I am allowed. Haa!
I guess I will be able to learn more things in here. Which is good for my own future la if I want to be a trader. Haa!

Oh yes!
An embarrassing part. Yesterday while at work (around 3plus), my shoes spoilt. Arhh! <(.*_*.)> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Having a car is great. Can go wherever I want. Save down the time waiting for cab but pumping petrol can kills. Ha.

In the noon, together with Michelle, Melvin and Kev, we went to Tampanies to visit Angela.
Michelle's friend. She just came back from Iceland.
But the main purpose is to visit Emma. Hehe



Isnt she a pretty toddler? She is CUTE!
Initally, she is shy but after awhile, she allows us to carry and play with her.
And when we were leaving from Angela hse, Emma cried so hard as she doesnt want to part with us.
I love to drive BUT I still prefer to be ferry around by ppl. Haa...

11 May 2007

1st day at Itochu

Updating in my new office!
My 1st day at Itochu.

Different feelings... Different experience from working in Paya Lebar.
The pace working in Shenton way is fast.

Colleagues here were great too!
I am under Swee Teng. A nice msia lady.
I am in the EG group.

Not forgetting Anna and Cynthia. They are my smoking kaki.
Understand from them that if we work OT till 7pm, we could claim dinner $5. And after 830, we could claim cab fee home. Fantastic isnt it?
They have bday celebration too and the co. will give you red packet de!

I learnt that working in a big corporation, when applying for leave and so on, we got to log in to the co. personal website to apply. Unlike Shinmei, we pass the leave form to our boss.

The bad things are, I cannot msn in this co. as they ban it. I don understand wad is L/C about and got to be very careful when preparing shipping instruction.
A day in Itochu, I realise how well protected I am in Shinmei.
In Shinmei, we just have to process order, prepare invoice and P/L. the rest, we just leave it to forwarder.
We don have to check AWB, we don have to know doc presentation and so on.
I am like a novice. A person with no working experience.

Had my lunch with Ah Yi. She is working in NTUC building which is just opp RP.
It was so crowded!
She taught me... To reserve a seat during lunch is to put a pack of tissue paper on top of the seat. Ha.

After work, I am gg for my 2nd interview (Sumisho Capital. A subsidiary co. of Sumitomo Mitsui Bank) which is located at Equity Plaza (next to RP) =)
No harm trying as I admit I am still looking for a better career prospect.

7 pm, I am gg to collect car from Gopi at Chinatown.
Yea! I rent car. $40 per day for Hyundai Getz. =)
Drooling to drive.

07 May 2007

WeiJiang

Watch Spidery3 today with WeiJiang at Great World.
A movie that were worth watching.

Followed by dinner at Labrador Park, The Olive.


I didnt know that there was a restaurant there.
Nice food, nice ambience.
1/2 way thru the food, I realise my shoes spoilt. So paisei!
1st time gg out with WeiJiang, this type of thing happened.

Hence after the dinner, we were like 2 "pai ka" walking down Labrador Park.
He was also "pai ka" as he sprained his leg while playing soccer on Sun.

06 May 2007

Today I went to Omar (Gambling ship) with Kev at 7am!! Even though, I didnt slp at all.
That is how strong and fit I am. Haa.


Boredoom in the ship hence ...
Nice rgt? Double image.

I spent my weekend at Chalet.
Friday night: 2am – 6 am
Sat night: 10pm – 5 am

That is the amount of time I spent at the chalet with Alan and gangs. Lolz!
Had a fun time playing "007", "name calling" and so on with them.
Drinking endless cup of water =)




Alan and me. A fren whom I know for 3 yrs plus yet hardly meet out cos I ev time fly him kite. Haha


Xiao qing and Shuting. My new friends..

05 May 2007

Last day at Shinmei (4th May)

Last day at Shinmei.
I had my farewell lunch at “lido” (The auto car mart)



Fear, sadness and not wanting to part with them was wad I felt the whole day.
Upon reaching 545, it was time for me to leave.
I left the office yet returned back for 3 times to take my stuffs.
Yoshida san sent me to the lift.

Though it is quite politic in here but all the colleagues are nice.
I will miss them.
I hope that they will still keep in contact with me.
I thank them. For they are the one who has been guiding me all along.

Met up with Valerie dearie at night.
Supposing to catch “200 pounds beauty” with her but by the time she came to fetch me, it was late hence we went for our dinner at Cini and we went Clark Quay for some drinks.
Happened to saw Esther at there too =)
Ppl comments that we look alike. Do we? Lolz




Our drinks at KandiBar! =)
I miss going out with her. She is such a dearie!

04 May 2007

Felt guilty that I put bebe and xin plane but no choice as Im sick again.
I took the med and fall asleep straight. By the time I woke up, it was already 10+ pm.
Hopefully they do enjoy themselves last nite.
So sorry abt it. I will make it up to you two ok!

Today is my last day at Shinmei.
To be frank, I got those "not wanting to leave" feelings as the colleagues here are GREAT but then human beings constantly have to upgrade or change themselves to meet up with the world requirements.
Im happy that I came to work in this company. Im happy that I got to know them.
My clients are nice too. Upon receiving my farewell email to them, they called me to ask how am I doing, what happen, what is my personal email/ hp no and so on.
I just hope that my new co., the colleagues there will be as nice as Shinmei...

03 May 2007

Yesterday was picking me up on the bus stop yet forgetting to unlock the car door. The bus came hence Alan got to move his car further in front.
Today due to the heavy downpour, he picks me up at my office building but without noticing of the location that he park. He park at a plc where it is slightly flooded with water hence causing my feet to be wet! I wonder what is next. lolz

I hate to be sick!

02 May 2007

Lunch with Alan 1

Had my lunch with Alan.
Geylang curry rice!
He said it was famous but I find Tiong Bahru Market one nicer.

Guess what happen.
I saw an EXTREMELY BIG FAT black bee. It was really BIG -_-

01 May 2007

Ah ma bday'07

Ah Ma bday.
Most of my immediate family member came except for my 2 elder cousins.
Nth spectacular happen. Just that for the whole day, I felt very sleepy. Lol

Managed to borrow Ah boon's car and intended to drive to Plaza but they say wanna cut cake soon so turn out I didn't get to drive.
I did check the rental rate for car from Fri night - Monday noon. It will cost roughly $230 excluding petrol.
Thinking whether should I waste this kind of unnecessary money or not. Any kind-hearted soul wanna lend me his/her car? Lol!

My new desire:
I wanna have a car of my own!
