... by demand

i'm back by popular demand.

well, actually only 1 request..
kua kua


Sunday
anyways, the first week of night shift ended peacefully in the morning.
i met NeuNeu at Jurong Point after our night shifts and he drove me home.
after a short nap, followed by dinner... we had a mahjong session!

and i hereby proudly announce:
"it's the first time in my entire life that i emerge as the overall winner!"
applauds and pats self on the back.

the gals will be having a session at Boon's place on Friday night but i can't make it coz i'm on night shift. oh pity.


Monday
woke up really late.
i was too engrossed in my God of War on PSP to go to sleep the night before.
washed up, took breakfast and rushed over to Tampines HDB with NeuNeu to apply for a season parking ticket.
we finally got a lot but it's still quite a distance from my house coz the one downstairs is overbooked. boo.

cleared my credit card bills at AXS and he didn't seem very pleased to know my bills chalked up to more than 700 bucks AGAIN for the Nth consecutive month.
but still, i got my dose of ice cream sundae from Mac afterwards. yippee!

later on, he headed home before going back to the base to clear some work.
then i Viwawa-ed and Skype-d the rest of the day away.


Tuesday
arranged to meet the gals for lunch.
had Arnold's at City Plaza (despite the bank robbery the day before).
and NeuNeu came by from home just to join us.

everyone's dying for a piece

pity, Shan and Ling weren't present to share the joyous moments of indulging in the tender, juicy fried chicken.
can't wait for the next chicky rice outing!

1st night shift..

met up with Vin, QL, Angie, Zen the night before for dinner at Aston's followed by KTV at a pub along Jalan Besar so we started the day off with waking up really late in the morning.

we were supposed to have breakfast at IMM but decided to drive in to JB instead and had Bah Kut Teh the first thing when we reached!
i've been craving for it even before i left my previous job, and the last night i was still telling NeuNeu i didn't want western food, i only wanted Prime Ribeye Bah Kut Teh.
alright, that's so lame.

anyways we went on to buy some groceries at Giant in Leisure Mall, headed over to Holiday Plaza for manicure & pedicure, then finally reached home and slacked around a bit before he drove me to Suntec for dinner.

'twas Sindu and KT's farewell dinner held at Sizzler's.
chit chat, munch munch, picture taking.
and afterwards, NeuNeu came by to pick me up and send me to work, then dropped Kenny off at Jurong before heading off for his mahjong session with his colleagues.

while i await the photos from the rest, here's a group picture taken earlier on...

yes, that's me (right at the far end)

alrighty, back to viwawa work!

Getting Pink!

finally uploaded all the pictures from my cammie.

we finished mahjong at Vincent's place only at around 4am this morning,
then NeuNeu drove by JB to topup his tank,
i have already fallen asleep in the car and by the time we reached home it was already 6am.

after attending my company's re-branding and anniversary function at Fullerton hotel on Friday evening after work, i had a drink with my team-mates at Boat Quay. NeuNeu came by to pick us up after his dinner with Alex and Penelope at Whampoa, and dropped my colleagues at their respective destinations.

he locked me out from my room when we got home.
and later on when he asked me to go in, i saw...

a new Nokia 7310 Supernova phone in PINK!
he says the color is not released locally yet, so i got the picture off a foreign website instead.

to think i was still seeking the girls' opinions on which pink phones should i buy.
yay!

then before meeting up with Vincent yesterday, NeuNeu drove me to Orchard for the Sanrio Fair in Takashimaya.
and he bought me...

My Melody & Kuromi Thermal Food Keeper, My Melody Placemat and Eye Mask!

last weekend, he also bought me a My Melody inflatable neck rest.
my collection is growing slowly but steadily.
wahaha.

now i'm thinking of shamelessly asking Louis to buy me this when he comes to Singapore next month.
i only see the Kitty version locally. boo.

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.
