It's the end of Jan!!!!

I always love end of Jan, because it is always endless birthday parties for me. =) I have 1 round after another with different groups of friends!

Had my first birthday treat by Jerlyn last Thurs when I met her, after what felt like 8yrs? Yeap, that's how long we had not met. She was so sweet, remembered that my birthday (ok, Facebook can check...) was on Sunday, so she treated me for dinner at Out of the Pan at Raffles City Shopping Centre. Must try their crepes!!! Awesome!!!

Fri was quiet and Sat , Jia and I went to do manicure and pedicure =). Then Jia bought 步步惊心, so we had drama marathon until 2am!!! Then I went to sleep coz I cmi le, Jia continued though. Throughout, I was busy replying to birthday greetings! Ha ha, I even 'haoliao' to Jia I need to reply birthday msgs on FB.

On Sun morning, first thing I did was screamed at Min, because she kept taking my pads. That's not why I'm so pissed, I was angry because she left the empty package in my cupboard! I was so fierce that even my Dad came into my room and asked what happened. After screaming, I fell back to sleep until 3pm. Jia and Min went to market with Mum, so I quickly catch the episodes I missed. When Jia came back, we continued until 9pm.

Dad's taxi happened to break down and sent for servicing, so it was the first time after a long time that he was here for my birthday. And for the first time, we didn't have to hurry cake cutting coz he had to go to work. We cut the birthday cake at around 9.15, after Min came out of shower.

I had 46 FB msgs, 6 sms (2 from the same person). see how trending goes? =)

Then on Monday, my collegaues planned a surprise cake for me! The cake was so sinfully nice!!! But also difficult to cut coz it was so creamy! anw, CHOCOLATE CREAM! High end cake!!! Yummy!!! see pic!!!

The brand of the cake. Atas can?

Not so atas after cutting.

That's what left after cutting, and I wanted to eat it for dinner, but someone's action was faster and ate away the 2 roses, left a care slice in the box. =(

So in a fit of spite, I brought home the chocolate they gave me. :P Had wanted to share in the office.

So pretty! How did they know I like ribbon??? =D

After which I met Esther babe. I am blessed with sweet friends, she gave TFS facial masks, lip balm and REESE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS!!! All my favorite things in the world in a pretty little bag!!!

I am in love!!!

After dinner at Sarang, we went A&F again! This time, we both bought the red cardigans!!! So so so in love!!! It was winter sale, 30% off, so I saved $30!!! Heng I didn't rush into buying last time. =D

Looks better under the A&F yellow light (which was sg flag type of red) and in real, slightly dark pink red.

And of course, how can I miss taking polaroid with the cutie???

I caught the close-my-eyes-while-taking-polaroid bug from Esther!!!

Schweet!

Happy Belated Birthday to myself! =D

I'm now an assisted mouse clicker

I can't believe it what Mr. Lawyer asked me to do... Change the freaking bullet points' font weight!!! OMG, can't you just highlight and then change? What's so difficult? U R A LAWYER!!! U SUPPOSE TO BE SMART!!! AND I"M NOT YOUR FREAKING SECRETARY!!! It's bad enough I had to take your calls... Fine, I'm taking everybody's message anyway.

Then, I had to help him click print, shun bian jiu suan le, but aren't u over utilizing me a bit?

And and and, I'm suppose to assist and troubleshoot your problems, not to preempt your problems. You try liao cannot, then I'll help you. And not I stand there and wait for you to see if it happens.Seriously, the option is there, then it should work lah!

Lawyers!

I don't dislike this guy, I kinda pissed off at him when he did such silly things.

Procrastination kills the deal

So much for putting effort in my new job, my good image was killed because of my procrastination.

I should have known that the bosses are raking in millions, hence, Blackberry is their world. The lawyer in the officer had been receiving his BB mails intermittently. Most of the time happened when he was out of office. My instinct told me that it was something to do with the network, yet another instinct told me it might be because he was tapping on the licensed network (not enough license to go around), hence he could only receive emails when he's in the office. So, I thought I just wait for the license to come then voila, problem solved,

On Fri, he got so mad that I did not solve his BB problem asap, spoke to me in a louder than usual voice. He was very worked up, and seriously, I totally forgot how corporate users can be very mang zhang. And there I was, sobbing silently, getting the only help I could think of, the license vendor.

Seriously, being a lawyer, he was more logical than me. He ruled out all the possibilities for me, while talking to the vendor on the phone. It was there, I discovered a setting I never probed before. His BES was connected on WiFi!!! Which explained why he couldn't receive emails once he's out of office. I'm pretty sure this was the cause, and not license problem.

Really learnt a very serious lesson: Never procrastinate, and dig all means to solve! It's my job!

红羊咩咩， 你一路好走

First was my uncle, now an ex-colleague.

It came as a very big shock, so shocked that I was shivering for 5 mins. How could the guy who accompanied me on my first marathon training died so suddenly! Like all the people we read in the news, like my uncle!!!

He even treated us lunch when he passed his IPPT last year!!!

Why is every NSman or NSF who fainted died after that? Something must be very wrong with the way they resuscitate fainted people.

Wrong skill? Wrong pressure? Wrong medic happened to be there? Would he still die if a real doctor is there?

There are too many whys that we will not get the answers.

Hongyang, you will be missed dearly.

Thanks for the badminton game you invited me.

Thanks for the tips you taught me during the game.

Thanks for the accompany at Yishun Stadium when I did my first marathon training.

Thanks for the encouragement you had given me. Without it, I would not have completed 21km.

Thank you.

We may not see each other everyday, or talk to each other everyday, but you were a great friend, a nice colleague, and a good employee.

So long.

So.. Another good friend got hitched!

So, I was once again asked to be a sister. What to do, I do a really great job! And I really enjoyed basking in their blissful day, almost felt like I'm marrying off my own daughter/sister. Hee Hee.

So SH and I spent the whole night doing the yoga cards, well, we both returned to my home at around 1pm...  coz we went to do some last minute grocery shopping, then we had only 4.5 hours to bath, rest and prepare the cards. She went to sleep after the yoga cards, while I continued with the love contract. By the time I finished I had to bath and get ready to head out.

As I did not have any sleep, I practically ate non-stop throughout the day as it went by:

1) At bride's hse: 1 pc of marble butter cake + 2 pkts of drinks
2) At groom's house: 2 pcs of cream cakes + 2 pkts of drinks
3) At their new house: 8 slices of BBQ pringles + 1 mini magnum (I'm now known as magnum gal)
4) Cocktail reception: Holding onto a bowl of peanuts snacks
5) During the lunch course, I helped myself to a second serving, or third or fourth.

Seriously, if my mouth stopped, my brain would stop and I would sleep. Which it happened twice in the car rides, once at the reception table while I was manning the guest list...  -_-|||

When I reached home, I was immediately knocked out, I didn't even wash off my makeup!!! Which was so unlike me...

Let the pictures do the talking!!!

Looked delicious, isn't it?

Inocent but potent!

very original form...

this one, looked a bit creepy

yoga pose cards! nice hor?

me and the bride

Happy for them!

They only had 1 VG and 1 PG. Seriously, I dislike the VG coz he haolianed about Amei riding on his white bike during her concert, and I really didn't pay attention what.. sat so far some more...

The PG was easily amused, he laughed when I dug the bitter gourd; when I sang "Sy in the house!!!" as I showed distaste for the VG's idea of singing the classic wedding bells; when I said "我承认！！" to his comment "中间那个最cute的"; laughed some more when I carried the basin and acted "给我一点吃的吧..." He really thought I wanted to eat.... then laughed when I said I was just being playful. got so funny meh!!! 我会误会的叻！！！ 哈哈哈！！！ joking.

And due to lack of sleep hence the high sugar intake, I was super high and cracked a lot of jokes. YW even said I was very Man when I ate the marble out of my hand instead of using place and fork... We ate like that at home also what...

As for why I am magnum gal, it was because the groom caught me eating their mini magnum, without knowing that his bride gave me the permission. The PG, upon seeing I was eating again, took a shot of me. -_-||| so groom kept telling pple I ate a lot of magnum... will pose the magnum story soon!

Anyway, congrats! Shuying and Junwei!!!

AMeiZing World Tour 2012

OMG!!! AMei is such a powerhouse!!! I think I enjoyed her concert more than Stephanie's. Amei had rather simple outfits compared to Steph.

Anyway, there was this 40 minutes which she sang songs spontaneously, and she sang Justin Beiber's "Baby", so cute! Then she got the band to sing too, and the guys could sing, except they couldn't really reach the high notes as it was a girl's pitch.

My pics quality ain't very good, need a better camera!

I like her entrance!!!

Belting songs!!!

See how full it is!

Happy 2012!!!
