Back Here

Happy HatchDay, Sel Sel!

can't wait to see the girls later.
we're gonna have dinner at Cross Keys, as recommended by yours truly.

i brought NeuNeu there on his birthday as well, and i think he liked it!

well well, second day back here.

NeuNeu didn't send me to work today.
i finally re-experienced the squish and squash in trains all the way from Tampines to Tg Pagar, then Tiong Bahru all the way up to Buona Vista.
re-experienced the crowd on bus 91.

NeuNeu came by to have lunch with me, and we had my favorite Lor Mee at Tanglin Halt! okays, going back to my stuff first. check back for photos soon!

Short Update

busy, busy.
and yes, we went to the tailor yesterday for some alteration.
also had a KTV session and some munchies afterwards.

it's been a long while since i last blogged.
so i'm squeezing a little time to blog now while waiting for NeuNeu to come by and pick me up.

u must be wondering what i have been up to?
well, i've been busy...
yakking with the gals before, during and after work;
surfing online stores for things to spree;
spending the rest of my time trying to catch up with Nono on Viwawa.

i'm sooo busy.
and now, i'm busying clearing up my work and handing over before i leave the job.

if u haven't heard... yes, i'm moving back to my previous company!
i have tendered my resignation on Friday and i'm returning on Tuesday, which leaves me with only 1 working day to tidy up everything.

Nick was telling me my previous post has been keeping him in suspense.
so now u can heave a sigh of relief and shout "Chey, i already know!"


okays, gotta run.
till the next post...

A turn of events...

one more day.

i can hardly contain the urge to spill the beans.
i'm tempted to reveal share.
however due to sensitivity and the inability to firm up the details i've got to hold for now.

going back to my MSN conference with Louis & Eddie.
discussion on good and bad horses. well literally.


till then...
keep ur eyes peeled.

Oops, i did it AGAIN...

i've decided to create an album for my spree loot.
for a start, i'll begin with my recent "conquers" from August onwards.

i love my fellow shopaholics!!!
Boon Boon, BuiBui, Ling, Ninoona, Sel, Shan

My Spree Loot

This week

Monday started on the normal mode.
nothing could have rocked our worlds more after Thursday.
nothing unusual, except that the office was unusually quiet with Shan on full day leave and Ling on half day afternoon leave.


Tuesday. Shan was still on full day leave and both Ling & Sel were on half day afternoon leave. my leave wasn't granted coz the rest of the (Muslim) staff were on half day for Hari Raya.
Ling stayed around and we hung out around Geylang Serai during lunch and we shopped the entire City Plaza after having the renowned 面粉糕 (Mee Hoon Kuey).

we returned with a jar of (expensive) cookies each.
i spent the rest of the day devouring the cookies and cultivating MORE ulcers.

NeuNeu came by to pick me up after meeting the eBay seller for our walkie-talkies.
yay, we have walkie-talkies now.
we can now save up those costly overseas call charges when we're abroad.

anyways, my aunts and cousins were at my place.
mahjong, TV, chit-chat and food.
i turned in early though coz i was tired out already.


Wednesday was the continuation of the mahjong battle. the bloodshed ended with NeuNeu being victimized. aww.. poor thing.

we ended around 2.30pm and NeuNeu dropped me off at Van/Val's place, then picked me up again at 5.30pm, and we were off for the 8-course dinner at Bukit Batok with Adrian, Alex, Penelope and her friends.

yak yak, munch munch.. the 4-hour affair ended around 10pm.
Alex was very kind to drive us up to the 8th storey of the multi-storey carpark, where some very law-abiding officer parked his car. the next moment, before we knew it, the same law-abiding officer went against the flow of traffic to take a turn down the carpark.
tsk tsk.

and the law-abiding officer NeuNeu tucked me in to bed before heading back home around midnight.


Thursday. the day i LS-ed GREEN poopies. stuff which the doctor calls bile.
disgusting?
alas! the disgusting part had yet to come.
the office is contaminated with what is are worse than poopies. yuck!


on a lighter note altogether.
up next...
updates of my spree loot!

back log

and so i thought this only happens at work.
i better get started now..


25 Sep
the day we'll remember forever.
the ultimate shocker.

anyway, we arranged an emergency meeting over dinner at Serangoon Garden.
the food was great but none of us was really in the mood.
dear Mary. yes, you!

WE MISS YOU!!!

27 - 28 Sep
shop, eat, play.
need i say more?

oh yes, we played poker on the night of our arrival.
forfeit was for the loser to be "decorated" with our cosmetics.
and after it all, we looked like this...

POKER-MONS!

more photos here

...and here...

Another week gone

yet another week gone.

from now on, posts will most likely be limited to once a week coz the company has blocked almost every surf-able networking and web chat sites.
boo.
and even the most conventional method of shouting across cubicles has been banned. maybe we should resort to 飛鴿傳書 (literally: flying pigeon passing note).
hah.

today, NeuNeu and i spent half a day in Tanjong Pagar speaking to the FA, and have more or less come to a conclusion on the services we'll be taking. but we'll prolly confirm with the FA in another week or so, after shopping around for more opinions.

well anyway, i've uploaded the pix taken at the Lantern Festival last weekend, a random lunch at Citylink with the SPC ladies, as well as some from yesterday while i was out with my colleagues and ex-colleagues.

Week 1 of September

i've been in a slothy mood since morning.
i suppose my energy's almost drained out by the entire week's activities...

last weekend, NeuNeu and i had a dim sum gathering in town with TMIS folks:- Corrine, Jason, Angie, Zen, Vincent. left after we hung around a little while more at NYDC, had more drinks, fooood and chatter.

had my usual dose of three tuition sessions throughout this week.
we also caught up with Angie, Zen, Vincent and Qingli over supper on Tuesday night.

the most lifting event of the week was yesterday, when we received our Charlotte Russe spree loot!

and today the girls got their stuff from the F21 spree.
don't know why i didn't take part though...
probably it was started before i joined, or when i was not so familiar with them yet and we haven't discovered our.. ahem.. "common interest".

anyways, Lynn bought a super super super nice dress, which i LOVE, and was mopping on how i'm SOOOoo going to buy it the next time we spree F21.
then the very nice shopaholics (who were probably extremely annoyed by my yakking by then) opened another F21 spree.
so touched!

and before i continue to raid the F21 webbie, here are the pix of my purchase from Charlotte Russe...

Button Linen Top

Pleated Floral Tube Dress
