Just nice size to replace my coach skinny. Got a bill compartment and behind there is a zipper for coins! Hee.. I like the bright green candy color!

A day full of happiness - Entry to Club 30

Its my 30th Bday celebration ytd!
For the day, I did not celebrate with Mr Tay.
He wasnt able to make it for the dinner so I had dinner with my 13 yrs friends or what one quoted as 知心好友！
Haha.. We were commenting that that verse is touching that we are class by him as 知心好友!

We went to Singapore Turf city Riding centre. Its a cool night as its rain heavily in the afternoon. Luckily its rain as they are preparing some events for today and thus the indoor venue was not available. We were to sit outside.

Its happy hours when we reached so I ordered a Lychee Martini while the rest all had Hoegarden full pint beer.
Food is good but location is ulu. If u r not driving, its not a convenient place to go.
Nevertheless, we had a great time!

Just FYI the place will be closed for 2 month for YOG starting from mid of next month.

Besides my birthday, my coll named it as an auspicious day. Haha..
Firstly, Marina Bay Sand choose this day for their Grand Opening Ceremony so its must an auspicious day isnt so?!
2ndly, I gotten the confirmation letter from my Director - the promotion confirmation Letter. After working for 8 years, I got a promotion finally. It doesnt come easy, quoting one of the manager wishes: Its hard work being recongised. My senior was explaining to me, due to how big the company is, it is not easy to get a promotion here. Beside your own team, the promotion quotats need to be compete with the whole Finance department ( the dept I am in) and with agreements of other directors that this person is worth the recommendation for promotion. After which, the suggestion of promotion got to be approve by CFO and all the way up till the top level to consider it complete. Wow.. Sound like an achievement isnt it?! I wonder will I manage to stay till the next promotion. Hahaha...
3rdly, My laptop which was admitted to 'hospital' on monday due to hard disk crashed was being discharged! Haha.. I gotten a call from LG service centre that its really for collection. Mr Tay wasnt free ytd to collect it so collection was only done today.
I got a brand new laptop for usage now as ALL DATAS ARE GONE! After one year, I got a new laptop. Haha.. Self comforting!

Ytd concluded ending of my bday celebration but its also started another celebration - my promotion! ;)
Got to give a treats to my dear colls next wed.
Then perhaps over the weekends with my parents
And see when with his parents
And of cos in Aussie with Mr Tay! Haha..

Beside being happy regarding my promotion, its actually of a super mixed feelings too.
I am happy the moment I was given the letter but as the same time as she spoke to me, I know there are lots of shit behind to clear.
BUT...
With or without the promotion, the shit need to be clear so why dun I take the incresment and clear the shit.
Haha..

Oh.. and the celebration goes on..

I am glad that I had batch of good friends around me at this age of 30..
Although sometimes I will thought there isnt anyone ard when I am bored..
We are all just busy with our life and works.
BUT.. on my special days, they are always ard to celebrate with me!! :)

My Pre Birthday celebration

Last sat, as usual we were at Mr and Mrs Low's house for our MJ session.

Never did I thought that there will be a cake appearing out of no where. Haha..

It is Mr Tay's idea to surprise me! Celebrating me entering club 30!

Beside, the Lows bought me a helium balloon too! wow..

And on top of that, Mr Tay got me $200 Goldheart voucher - its our ROM anniversary cum Bday present! I get to go n get what I want! Smart of him! haha..

Every year He will plan and create surprise for me for my birthday. Cos he rem Me complaining him not being romantic. Haha.. IMO, he is still not cos all his planning involve others, not just a romantic nite with him BUT at the same time, it is the effort that counts!!

He liaise and co-oridnate with friends to get me the surprise and its more fun to celebrate with friends isnt it?!

Super lag..

Super long nv post blog liao.
Last week was on 5 days MC cos I went to extract the wisdom tooth out.
Been resting at home, went down to RP to change money for Aussie trip too.
I think my dogs are the happiest cos I am at home. Haha..

23 days more to our holiday. Counting down still..

Back to reality

Back from the weekend break.. Not actually a break, feel like more tired, rushing here n there.
We almost miss the ferry due to the idiot Batam Fast staff. She is suppose to amend the name of my friend on the boarding pass, she went to check out him. When she try to re enter, the system refused as the gate is closed!
I reminded her that our ferry is leaving at 920am, she just said she know.
She asked for help from her senior, that uncle just simply said, is not we dun want to help, its not system refuse so bo bian lor... 'Hello! in the first place, whose fault in resulting to such situation'
All act as if not their problem.
In the end, my friend got escot to clear the custom as the name is error!
He got special treatment, no need to q somemore.

We got check in at the new wing, first floor.. Its a swimming pool access room! haha.. ok lor cos our room balcony exit to the baby pool. But the old one is more comfortable, the new one, bed isnt very comfortable, the air con position isnt good resulting in room not cold enought.
We went to eat, shop and the massage at nite isnt that great. We think its due to its weekend and end of the day, the massagers are tired!

Next round shall try out Holiday Inn. Go there just relax and do nothing. Dun go to town also. Just stare blank! haha..

Thoughts

Wow.. Its been a long time since my last entry.
Nothing much to note bah.
Nothing major happening.

Recently took up Pliates for weight loss at HQ with 2 of my other colls.
Not bad after attending 3 lessons. Feel muscles aching after each session. Meaning its work! haha.. But must be diligent enough to do it at home too.

After class, we went for dinner and one was mentioning might be going for further studies. While in office, my senior ask if I had the intention of further studies, I told her not at the moment bah.
I had discussed with Mr Tay this question before: To study or Try for BB. He asked me to decide myself since its me; I decided to try one and see how. After all, studies can come later if I still want but to conceive doesnt mean if U like, U will get it. I am hitting the BIG 3 this yr after all.
Then I ask my senior back, arent she preparing for one since now she had completed her studies? She said she wants but will let nature take its course and at the same time, she said she has not have enough fun! There are too many places she want to go. Well, its after all God's will whether one is blessed with a child or not..

Btw, going Batam tomorrow!! Booked the Spa package, I need the massage! Rest n Relax! hee..

Then also deciding if getting a Iphone! OMG, eventually still giving in? No la, got staff sales leh, less $200-$350 of RRP. Mr Tay is super keen to get me one, I am the one still deciding to get or not to get..

UPDATES!!
I got my IPHONE! 16GB white, Paid $98 for it with trade in of Mr Tay's N85 with a value of $200. Still getting used to it.

忽然觉得。。。

看到中学的朋友在脸书的留言，让我想起当初她多么渴望生这个孩子。
她还蛮优秀的， 所以应该也希望孩子会像她吧。

然后再想想，我什么都不是，什么都没有，将来有孩子的话，孩子该像我吗?
身材-- 没有
样貌--没有
知慧-- 没有
口才--没有
运气--没有
手艺--没有
钱--也没有

当你什么都没有的时候，你不可能希望你的下一代会像你吧？！
哈哈！

那么有下一代来干嘛呢？！
人生已经很痛苦了，为什么还有下一代来到这个世界呢？

Life is tough and you know it the moment you are born.
You cry when you arrived - If you dun, doctor and nurses will make you cry
And others cry when you departed..

Should I ......

Read this!

Notice the last sentence:
根据动物与飞禽法律第42条清楚列明，若主人罔顾宠物的性命安全，或是对宠物造成不必要的痛楚，便可在虐待动物的罪名下被控，一旦罪成，可被判高达12个月监禁，罚款1万元或是两者兼施。

Well, the action will end the dog misery as well as getting rewards wor..

My new earrings

From Korea!
Isnt it cute?! I hope I will not be allergic to it..

人生没有不散的宴席！

After my opp neighbour sold their hse at high price and shifted in Dec09, another couple is going off soon.
They are the first couple I get to know in the forum online.
Me and the HB are from the same poly, same course and same company now!
Our hse was of the same structure and layout but theirs is at 10th Flr.

Its very nice of them to call and inform us that they are shifting.
Gotten more info from them:
1. Flat valued at $400K, Sold at $439K --> Cash $39K
2. Sold to China PR
3. 100% of the viewers are PRs, none singaporean. Currently Our blk Indian PRs quotas met! No more Indians liao!
4. Bought a 3 rm flat at Serangoon at $280K
5. With the earnings, the profit from selling the 5rm flat is enough to cover minor renovation and full payment of the 3 rm --> No loan required!!

I envy on that portion! No housing loan to worry about. No work also nvm liao.
Told Mr Tay about it. Actually we can do so too! Sell the flat and get a 4rm maybe (Actually I dun mind 3rm, No extra unoccupied room to LOAN ppl). With 4rm, we might not be able to be loan free but we can actually be re-finance and lower the housing loan of current. Why not?!
Why to shift, where to shift to?
Selling at high price when the market is good will result in getting a flat of high price too! Got to do some homework man before any action taken.

The correct timing

If the shop closing time is at 930pm.. and someone left the shop at 8pm.
Still consider leaving early? when someone is suppose to leave early on that day?!
If you cant make it on time, give a call. To let the other party know, prepared.
Instead of accuse later on when ppl got to make it for their appt also.

The whole world doesnt turn around you only.
U got things to do so does others.
Esp when time is limited..

Thoughtless ppl!

A nite out to Universal Studios at RWS with Mr Tay

Singtel offers their staff $20 per ticket to get into Singapore's latest attraction - Universal studio. Each staff is entitled to 2 tickets only so Mr Tay and I have a nite out there!

We are able to leave early at 4pm to prepare ourselves for the event.
Mr Tay got permission to leave earlier to fetch me and off we go!

We reached RWS at 5plus.. Went around to explore the areas. Feel great!! Been a long time since we went out like that! Got the Pak tor feel! haha.. Think we all are too busy working round n round liao. After work, no energy left liao.

We had dinner at Chilli before going in as he is hungry.
Great dinner!!

We took only "The revenge of the mummy" ride. Waited for 30min!
The ride is shiok esp we sat at the first row! Haha.. but its a little too short liao.

We paid $20 per ticket, we also only get to see $20 stuffs. Only ard 3-4 rides are open for us. And some of the areas are closed as well. To really experience every single part of the theme park, a full day with a full price ticket is still needed.
However I doubt I will ever step in again. To spend $66 on a weekday to enter is just way to expensive. Let alone $72 on weekend.

Bought some stuffs to keep as memories and that end our date!! hee Hee..

Photos are uploaded in Facebook liao!!

Long Long wait..

I set up the ticker to track how long more to our holidays..
Its a long wait man! Another 3 more months to go.
I tell myself, I shall need to process 4 mths payments and holiday will come.
I am done with Feb10 payout.. so 1 month down..

3 more month of payouts to do.
Sound shorter but in actual fact.. Its so long!!

Any tips for the Aussie trip?!

小人袜！

I think its origin from Taiwan, been hearing Show Luo Zi Xiang promoting it.

I got this from Pasar malam, 4 pairs for $10 so definately not original bah.. On the other hand, how shld original ones look like?! haha.. Nobody know..

Its cute! I got it in pink, black and grey. There are those with tailsmen on the head area. I find that too eee.. so i just get these normal one will do. Haha..

Step them with my feet and hope everything will be smooth for me this year!!

Air Tickets booked! Australia, here we come!!

Finally! We are going Holiday! Holiday! Holiday!

Air tickets for Australia are booked!!

Paid $914nett per pax. We are going Melbourne and Brisbane.

At Brisbane, we will go over to Gold Coast. Dont plan to visit all the world. I doubt I got the luxury to, my skin wun allow me. So will be going to the Warner Bro Movie World only! hee..

I already did some research on Melbourne & Brisbane on where to go, what to do.

Will complie on later dates.

My house is Rubbish Chute?!

Nice wardrode?!

Its was left behind by them.

She did mention about not bringing it over.

But in e end nv really state want or dun want.

Simply said will shift things slowly.

Even this and the computer table + monitor are left behind - no status till Mr Tay called up to ask.

Fine then! I took picture of it. Post onto Ebay and with 5 days, I got it sold at $80 with self collection!

Now I got $$ + space back!

Next is the computer table.. Mm..

A day out to the town - Suntec City

A rare weekday lunch with Mr Tay in the city!
Haha.. that is during the CNY period lor..

Secret Mission - Lou Hei in office!

The Old lady in office wanted to Lou Hei but no one is interested to lou with her. We gave all sort of reasons plus TL was on leave. So when we decide to lou ourselves, it got to be done secretly. Haha.. I bought the shredded radish, carrot and lou hei set. Instead of raw fish, we had pacific clams instead. Yummy! Its so nice! Big and juicy!!

Beside that, we ordered Domino pizza as lunch too!

Nice, crispy thin crust. Got half half fillings too.

Garlic Onion Ring

Cinnimon Bread

Bread stick - Garlic bread.

Jumbo Wings - which is so BIG that its shld be call MINI jumbo wings. haha..

Oh.. and in the end, she is on leave that day. Haha..
