Ready for Chinese New Year ?

5 days to Chinese New Year.

How's the preparations going?
Have you done spring cleaning? - I have not, actually.
Have you bought new clothes?? - I did not, too. ( i guess my clothes i bought during normal days are enough.. =P )
Have you taken leave to celebrate??? - YES i just did!! I be on leave on 12th ! YEAH!!

I been eating Bah Gua, pineapple tarts, the cookies.. and so much more!
One thing i have to remind is the Mandarin Oranges. (I ate one today and been coughing since... sad! ) So my dear friends, take note this, ok?

The crowds at my neighbourhood was horrible.. its like everyone is buying things, and the whole NTUC supermarket was packed!!

And if anyone noticed, Chinese New Year is also the time to throw things. (Take a look around the rubbish at your void deck... imagine the amount of waste we created?? )

My colleague, Robert,  gave the whole office people a surprise today !



First time he did this, we were so surprised! = )

I shall go to bed, as this week is a busy week.. meeting friends tomorrow and Thursday night.
Wee!!

Take care and have fun !

Dinner on a nice Thursday night..

Meet up Jessie, my "little sister" (We happened to have same surname too! lol.. )

We went Manhattan Fish Market, Marina Square branch. I really enjoyed their food, i was eating their food on last Sat, and then the following Thurs. Haha!


They are having this 1-For-1 lobster promotion at $28.80. Added $4.90 for the "Perfect Catch" offer (With Iced Tea and Soup of the Day), With lobster, fish, calamari, fries, and rice, i feel its pretty worth it! =)




Go try it out! =)

And i saw this video from Facebook, want to share to more friends.



Can't read my, Can't read my..
No he can't read my poker face... 
=)

Tennis tomorrow, great weekends to all my friends! =) 

Surprise from the Letterbox !

I open the letterbox and saw a squarish envelope attention to me. 

"Could it be the EP i ordered?? " I thought to myself...  Opened it, and WOW!~ It's the KEEP! Kewei & Einein EP i ordered ! =) 

Been a silent fan of Ke Wei, i watched their youtube videos, read her blog, followed her on Twitter.. (oops, not so silent after all, Haha!)

It was so sweet they wrote a small message on the EP cover!



Am listening to the CD while im typing this entry, its nice and if you are interested to get one, you can go to here! 

=)

Songs covered by Pomplamoose - Cool videos!

It was really a lazy Sunday.

Really needed a good rest, before the hectic "month end closing" war starts again next week.. =| 

Anyway, i not sure if anyone of you seen this clip before.. ? 

Its pretty cool!! =) 

Single Ladies - Beyonce

Michael Jackson - Beat It



Now this is the kind of talented girl i admired ! 
=D

Believe in Fairy?

It was a little gathering with my friends, we had Udders ice creams. Yum Yum!

After which, we went for a movie... "The Tooth Fairy" ! =)







It was funny,had a good laugh.. I feel its a great show to watch. =)
Enjoy the weekends, my dear friends! 

Few nights of good food..

It was two straight nights of good food.

Monday
Had dinner at "Wan Chai Hong Kong Tea Room" at IMM, located just outside Daiso.
The food was nice, especially the tea that i ordered. =)



You can give it a try..=)

Tuesday
I meet another friend for steamboat buffet dinner.
This time at "Hotpot Culture" =) (Was too hungry eating and sorry, this was the only pic i got. lol )



For me, i feel the nice thing about this buffet was the chocolate fondue that was part of the buffet, which attracted me. haha!

By the way, came across these flowers on Monday, do you find them familiar?


First thought when i saw them - the toilet brush in my toilet..

Don't they look alike? HaHa !!

Been doing office spring cleaning. And worked till 10pm tonight, got to go sleep soon.
Good night my friends!

The movie "It's Complicated"..

Went to watch "It's Complicated" with my friend on a Friday night.

A very nice show to me. Funny and well done!
The classical scene, using a Macbook to cover "male important part" LoL

If you are interested in this movie, can go watch! =)


And thank you to Celine, she bought me some goodies when she went Taiwan last year..



The yummy goodies!


And, a chain of my horoscope! <3

How sweet can she get... =)

More happening events coming up next week...

Updates for the week...

Still trying to adjust the mood into working life this week..

First day back in office, cleared the 2 weeks worth of emails, went for meetings(in prepare for the company dinner and dance in March), helped out the company "Appreciation lunch" today.. the rest of time, work, work work...

A new colleague joined in my department this week.
A very young lady, to help out, in the function of our department.
Boss 'arrowed' me the task to guide her along of her work.. (Boss gave me chance to get to know her, hor? haha.. )
Anyway, welcome her into the company and lets work hard together ! =)

Have you started collecting the Doraemon lucky charms from Macdonalds? Its $2 each with any purchase. When i saw the advertisement of them i already decided to get them. lol...
But then hor, later i realized: its 12 chinese zodiac animals without the 'PIG' charms ??!!



How complete is it without the 'PIG'? And somemore its the year im born in. -___-

However!! *drums roll sound*
Now they got a poll to see if you are interested in the Pig charm... (Of course i voted for YES!! )

Cast your vote too ! -----> Poll for 'Pig' lucky charm

Lunch with Friends on a Lazy Sunday

It was the 'first day' of my back to civilian life.. Met up with friends for lunch at Orchard 313.

We went to a restaurant called Trattoria. An Italian restaurant.
Their food was more of pastas and pizza.
Something nice thing about them, they gave us each a piece of their bread, (sorry, not sure the name of it) as their 'Welcome Food' while we wait for the food to be served.

I personally feel its a good move, how do you think? =)



After lunch, we went to watch movie: "The Spy Next Door"



Nice movie, and whole cinema was laughing.. The little girl was so cute! =)

Then we continued with dinner at Xin Wang. (food again) LoL



Great food, but the senior waitress was weird, keep staring at our table, and asking if can clear our plates.
Hmm hmm... 

Nice Sunday, spent with lovely friends !




Shall see them again, real soon... =)

Been coughing and sneezing, since Sunday while i was with them, guess im getting sick, soon.....
Was drinking honey, poping strepsils, and drinking tons of water...

Hope i am better tomorrow.

Off to bed! =)

End of Reservist ~

Hi all, I'm back to civilian life, after 2 weeks..! =)
It was a tired,and lack of sleep reservist this time around. However my unit did achieve the target we wanted. So, Cheers and our efforts are being rewarded! *Hip Hip Horray!*

Quoted from our unit's motto : "We Can, We Will ! "

* * * * * * * * 
Anyway, how's everyone doing? =)

Today is 16th Jan 2010. In less than a month, it will be Chinese New Year (CNY).
How's your preparation going? This year is rather special as the first day of CNY falls on Valentine's Day.. Its a double blessing! =)

For those married or attached, you all can celebrate the two events together.. how cool is that?


Like what my mum been reminding me since 1st Jan. "You are going to be 30 years old soon.. leh.. got girlfriend already??"

I think i got her hint. It's been some time i bring girl home for dinner.

Yes mum, im working hard on it.... Something are fated. When it happens, it happens. =)



I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR (U2)
 
I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
This burning desire
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
But yes I'm still running.
You broke the bonds
You loosened the chains
You carried the cross
And my shame
And my shame
You know I believed it
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
But I still haven't found
What I'm looking for
