I had already survived past the 3rd week of work!

But, the fact that I'm starting work on 初三pisses me off.
And also the fact that I'm working on 初四pisses me off.
Not neglecting the fact that I'm also working on 初五pisses me off.
I can continue to rant and grumble ALL the way to 初十五about work!
Hai.

Monday was 初一, so I was in Malaysia celebrating with all my relatives.
But we were back to Singapore by Tuesday night.
ITS NOT FUN!
No fireworks, no atmosphere...
It's more like a normal gathering.
CNY came SO fast, and ended THAT fast too. Grr.
I didn't take any photos in Malaysia at all.
Yahoo!

But here are some relevant CNY photos.

Yupp, I ate the Family feast by KFC.


My parents bought these zodiac gourds from Chinatown.
They are now hanging by the side of the window.
Too bad that you can't see them.
Hhah.


And what is CNY without mandarin oranges!!!
This looked like Ultraman somemore!
This mutated orange was drawn by me, because I noticed how the forehead resembles Ultraman's.
HEH, if you know what I mean.




HONG BAOS HONG BAOS ON THE TREES!
A few of my relatives went to my aunt's house on wednesday to pluck hong baos off the trees above.
Of course there are money inside those hong baos.
1st: $168, 2nd: $128, 3rd: $108.
Or is it $88? Well I don't know, they were all plucked off by another person.
Grrrr, lucky.


I only got $10 with that chinese note: HAHAHAH, you didn't get the big prize. Better luck next time!
It was written by my aunt.
LOL.

My very same aunt held a BBQ yesterday.
And she added new hongbaos to the trees with additions of 礼篮s！

WOW.
So we were entitled to have a 2nd chance.
x)
And guess what I'd got!


HOHOHO.
I got the 2nd largest hamper.


Look at the door!
The 1st prize was being carried away.


Look at the number of people in my aunt's house after BBQ.

SPEAKING OF BBQ,

FOOD, FOOD!


Relatives gathering.

Then at night, we had a impromtu birthday celebration for my uncle.

Fruit cake!




Don't ask about the white specks.
HAI.




Opening the champagne.


And was divided into THAT many cups.


I sipped some, thought it smelled like Jolly Shandy.
LOL, but its so bitter.
BlAHh.


Fruit cake is 1 of the few cakes I can totally finish.


And my cousin gave me this mouse pad!
Maybe I can bring it to work!

SIAO.

I had made it through my work for the 2nd week.

Hurrays~! I never thought I can even survive for 2 weeks without my friends.
Hai. Maybe I should decorate my empty, plain desk with this?


Yes I think I should, because I'd made it already.
Bwahhaha. xD

Speaking of the very abrupt Chinese New Year around the corner.
My workplace was bustling with technicians when I reached the office.
I was shocked as I never get to see them at all throughout the past 2 weeks!
It turns out that they are waiting for hong baos.

HONG BAOS!!!

I was very much delighted to hear that from my colleague. Heh.
So I asked 1 of the longer working temp, A, about past year's CNY hong bao giving session.
A: Oh, we each received a hong bao lorr.
Me: How much? Should be a lot bah, since it is a big company..
A: NO LA. $4 only.

.....

Well, $4 is enough for me to travel to and fro Harbourfront with just a few cents left.
At least got something right. Heh.
So I waited for the hong bao session to begin at 8.30.
I knew exactly when the hong baos had arrived because the technicians 'woo wahh ahahah' when the oranges + hong baos arrive.


Here it comes! Hong bao and all!

I was so happy. It was only my 2nd week here!
I'm glad that I came before CNY starts.
*sniggers*


HONGBAOHONGBAOHONGBAO!
My 1st hong bao of the year!

I did not open it until the moment I reached home at 6+.
No halfday for me, yes. x(
Anyway, they said it was $4 last year. I hoped it stays the same!
In the end...
I only found 1 purple note.
Not 2!

BAHH.

Then I saw this article just now.


Auntie, you are more lucky than me can!

Hurr. Like what Nic and WQ said, at least I've gotten something.
To be on a positive note, I can travel to Harbourfront!
Cannot come back!
Duh. I think recession really hit us hard. But it is the thought that counts.
I think.

Enough about HONG BAOS.

Did I say that I love lions very much?


They are super cool.
What is CNY without them?!
Nice, I love lion dancing.

ON A RANDOM NOTE,


My pet society in Facebook. Heez.
I totally love naruto.


I got this stupid brinjal from the gachapon machine.
DAMN, it is not the cutsey dumplings featured on the panel!
STUPID BRINJAL.
I'm still childish. HEH.


I'm stuck on this 终极一家。
Although this ended in 2006?!
Damn, I'm a slowpoke.
Nevertheless, I like this show although the storyline is abit fantasy.
Hahha.

Muttons to midnight CNY version!!!!!

Compiled by yours truly.

In front is ang pow excuses, behind is a cny song dedicated to all uncles & autnies!

They sang quite audibly, so I do not have to write down the lyrics.

XD

P.S: The $2 part is not related to my $2 hongbao.

I think.

I've been working for a week.

OMG?
Yes yes yes. It sounds unbelievable, but i survived 1 week of ordeal at Canon.
I'm working on a 5 day basis, from 8.30am to 5.30pm.
All thanks to Qihui who got me this job!!!
Guess I owe her one. xD

Anyway, I've good colleagues!
There are 4 temps including the noob me.
And 1 of them was from Innova too! Phew.
What a coincidence right. x)
But she is my senior, so we have limited topics to talk about.

There are some interesting things that I believe are interesting. (?)
-There's a Canon song being played before we start work at 8.30.
It serves the same purpose of a school song.
It is NOT cannon music though.
-There'll be a morning crew that will parade around offices to greet us to start the day positively. Imagine the choruses of "good morning"s at the office.
-When we are nearing lunch time, there will be a tinkle to signal us to go off.
-And when its time to balek kampong, there is a goodbye bell that will ring at 5.30 SHARP.
-We also have Passion day on Monday (need to wear red), Casual day on Friday(dress down day).
Am I revealing too much information?

Interesting things aside.

I'd done 1 week of billing, matching, filing and retrieving..
I'm still unsure what I'm exactly supposed to do though. =S
But thinking of the $$....
I hope I can survive my next 5 months and 3 weeks of mundane job.
URKK.

Yesterday went to eat dinner with my cousins at my uncle's restaurant again.

新年怎么可以少了捞鱼生？


捞了一团糟。


盆菜


鱼翅

What is the sudden usage of chinese about?
Never mind, I should use my hanyu pinyin occasionally.

TODAY! I went Causeway Point with my totally crazy friend, Nic.

There is this Starhub road show.


and Nic totally went stunned at the sight.
It's because she might be handling all the orders of these customers tomorrow.
A surge of workload.
Poor thing.

We bought loads of items.
Nic bought a Puma bag and a shoe, while I bought clothes for my Passion day & my Casual day.
Clueless? So am i.
Urgh, we are spending our future pay already.
Sian.

Guess I'll be only inject life into this blog during the weekends + holidays.
Sigh.

I love the old days.
