89 days to go!

On the day of Star Awards on Sunday, I went to eat at Sakura buffet restaurant at Admiralty park.
Coincidental that I went to eat at that Star awards featured buffet restaurant.
Heheh.


Scenic location.


Nonya food available!


Pizza at a japanese food restaurant?


Chinese dim sums too?


Sharks fin soup!


ICE CREAM!


Fruits!

FINALLY IT IS MAY!

Labour Day is an annual holiday resulted from the efforts of the labour union movement to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers.
I thought gifts will be provided for us on this important day, but nothing was seen.
Sigh!
Okay la, the IT department did give us something to celebrate Labour Day.


Nice looking right?

But it tasted otherwise.
I thought that it tasted somewhat like puke.
HHAHA.
My friends all roared in laughters, and nodded their heads in agreement.


Since A was the only one who finished eating the tasteless cake she mentioned, S decided to give her cake to A.
We were all in holiday mood, you see.
Section boss, my TL, 2nd boss and Big boss were all not around.
Left 3 perms, who are relatively fun-loving, so we thought it was okay to relax abit.
We had all the time in the world on THAT day (ONLY) to fold hearts and fooled around, ranging from sleep walking and taking photos in broad daylight.

IT WAS THE SLACKIEST DAY I EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY PAST 3 MONTHS OF WORK!
Yayyyy. x)

----

Swine flu.

I guess it is all in the news now!
Rampant all around different parts of the world.
Hurrr.
I even had an emergency meeting in relation to Swine flu.
The meeting made me realised how pressing and grave the virus would bring about.
So, the auntie Chuan immediately leaped into action after work.


I bought a No Rinse Hand Sanitiser from Guardian, and even took a brochure.

My mum went stocking up some canned food and bought masks to prepare.
Thermometers are all swept off the shelves at my nearest polyclinic when my mum went to buy masks.
We must prepare ourselves, you know, no matter how kia-su we may seem to be.
Swine flu can spread even before we had symptoms like fever!
Deadly.

2 may 2009 is the day my TL holds her wedding!




But we didn't get to see her.
(More photos up soon!)

Because...
I was late.
I counted the wrong number of stops which made us walked to the place which is like, 10 minutes away.

My perm friend, J, was so pissed that she took out her cigarettes and puffed in front of us.
She did buy cigarettes in front of me once, but this is the 1st time she smoked in our faces.
Traumatised.
Okay so anyway, while walking, I kept apologizing for being gundo.
Although J and M said that it was not my fault, but I can sense J's unhappiness towards me.

GRR.
I'm a sensitive person.
Any hostility towards me, 1 look and I will know what you are thinking.

So throughout that wedding lunch, I did not talk much to them.
And they didn't seem bothered about me too.
Hhaha, suited me fine, since I bid farewell to them very soon, which is 7 minutes after Yew Tee.

To cheer myself up, I splurged on teenage magazine.


To my surprise, there is a Fahrenheit poster inside!

xD

----------
Random, from my house, I can detect THESE!


IJC & CHAMPS networks.





It is totally worth it to spend $5.90 on such a generous portion of bread, cookies and drink!

Ate it twice in this very week.
Yummy.










I had not drawn for a very long time already.
I wanted to draw, but it took me ages to draw one.

Sigh.

No more nice holidays to look forward to anymore!
And oh my Buddha, Vesak day falls on Saturday.
I heard that 1 extra day of leave will be given to us, but the shiok-ness of sleeping late on a weekday appeals to me more than taking leave.

HURR.

Looking forward to week 16!
Labour day is coming~~~~!!!!!
My TL's wedding is coming on 2nd may too.
Uhhh I still had no idea how to go to her place.
x(

And I extended my work contract till 31st July 2009.
OMG!
It is like, 14 weeks away!
14 holy weeks!
GRAH!
I shall have a countdown timer to do its job.
And 31st July is Huixin's birthday too. :)

Anyway these are Sunday's BBQ photos.


Do you know why Nic is so happy?


Do you know what Huixin is looking at so intently?


Do you know why Wanqian smiles so brilliantly?

BECAUSE WE WERE WATCHING F1 RACE OF SHANGHAI, CHINA.


Aww man.
Nic forced us to watch it before the BBQ.


So when we were preparing to start the fire, the sky was starting to lose its lights.


That man is Eve's papa.
Hello eve papa.
Red is Nic, white black is Jiahui.


Slacking by the side.


Might as well take photos right!
Wanqian and Huixin.


An unprepared wanqian and a funny faced jiahui.


Why is jiahui hiding behind waniqan?

Okay let's see the food!


Food, food!

Eh? What is that in the corner?


It is a toothbrush!


Brush brush the mushrooms.
Of course it is new, not used!
URk disgusting thought.


Crowding around the pit.


This is eve's backyard kitchen.
Hahaha.






And eve is the cook.

After eating dinner and wanqian's mama's agar agar, we took 3 group photos.
But the main lead is not us!






It is Nic's yellow bag.

=.=

On 22 April 2009, I was woken up by this plopping sound of my windows at around 11.18pm. Sounds of slamming doors were heard throughout the whole neighbourhood. Fully awakened now, I rushed to my windows and realised that they were sucked opened due to strong wind. I had never seen experienced such winds before. I thought it might be hurricane! Trees swayed violently, lamp posts rattled, people scuttering for shelters... The abnormal wind continued to howl for about 10 minutes, accompanied by a threatening red sky which started to drizzle and evolved to be a big thunderstorm at 11.30pm.

12 minutes of horror.

Waseh, this is the 1st time in my 18 years of life that I experienced such winds. From newspapers the next day, it was said that the wind speed was recorded to be as high as 90km/hour!
The speed of a car along the expressway!

What explains the sudden increase in temperatures for April and the winds?

Mypaper yesterday wrote that April is the season of inter-monsoon. With solar heating and mild winds, temperatures can increase to 34 degrees. Rains cannot disperse the heat as it does not occur for long or throughout the whole island. For the strong wind, it is due to the influence of Sumatra squall. The Sumatra squall usually occurs between April to September, 3 times per month. .......BLAH BLAH I'm lazy to translate more........ More cases of such winds will occur for 1 or 2 more times, but the wind speed will not be as strong as that on 22 April.

Ok, more such cases will happen!
Screams!

I can't wait for the temperatures to drop to the nice below 30 degrees range.
Hurr.

Let's cool ourselves down with MOS ice milk tea.


It is so milky!

It is week 14 now!
10 more weeks to go!
Wow, it sure sounds fast if I count down like this.

I received my 3rd pay this week, making me a little richer than I was last month.
Ha.

I ate porridges in 5 straight days because of my bad cough.
I had coughing fits everyday, like twice a day during work.
So I got a day MC off for Wednesday, but I didn't use it at all.
Shit me.
My 1st ever MC gotten, but I did not use it!!!!
Even my perm friend said I was the 1st temp ever to come to work despite having a MC.

I had made history.

Whatever.

Work was great, I mean, with all these gifts below!




Qihui got me a pair of chopsticks from her 10 days Taiwan trip.
Thanks!
I am the 1st person in my family with my own pair of chopsticks.
LOL.


My 2nd boss got all the people in my department this aroma therapy chains in her short getaway trip over the long weekend last week.
The above 4 samples were for the temps!
Mine was the brown one, with a scent of gardenia.
Wow, it smells like BREAD!
Hahahaha, no la.
I had absolutely no idea how gardenia would smell like.
Brown: Gardenia, Blue: Ocean, Green: Jasmine, Pink: Rose
See? I had the most unique scent.

So I went home and tested it.

PUUUUUUU!
It smell so indian-ey.
P.S: I am not making any racist comment or have any intention to upset the Indian community.
I smelled the Ocean one and it smelled like Dove soap.
Jasmine would smell like tea, and rose is ROSE obviously, or it might smell like bandung.
Sigh, gardenia is unique indeed.
So I went to spray my Adidas perfume on it which made it smell nice momentarily.
But the perfume smell faded and reverted back to its original smell.
Hurr, I think I will just make it into an ornament.


Puffs and cakes!
Another perm offered these delights during work yesterday.
I chose the chocolate cupcake, top left corner, since my cough is on its way to recovery.
(Wrong choice! Chocolate is so heaty. =/)


SO NICE AND YUMMY!
As Nicole the f1 nut often says,
Work is fattening.

YAY.
And I look forward to next next week.
MAY 1, LABOUR DAY FALLS ON FRIDAY!!!

Holiday mood!
I hope there will be another gift given!
I absolutely love nice surprises, even if it is small, like cupcakes.

BBQ TOMORROW!
And I certainly hope it will rain tonight, because the weather is so humid and sticky today.

GRRR.

YAY!
Today is a public holiday!
I can finally slack and relax at home, holy moley.
I'd never been able to slack on a weekday for the past 13 weeks.

But I came down with sore throat and fever on Thursday.

So my Friday was spent sleeping and walking around like ah-mah because of my throbbing headache and sore throat.
In fact, my brain is throbbing so much right now that I feel like lying down to type this.
Zzz.

Anyway, I can finally show you that how my temps look like.
These photos are from SH.


I looked ghastly.
Anyway the nearest is SH, followed by A, me, the Ace girl.
SH looks like Chinese hor.
She is a Malay!
And she is the oldest among us!
She definitely looks like a 16 year old instead of 21.
Wow!


Posing retardedly.
A, who is flipping the paper, is my Innova 1st batch senior!
1st batch and 3rd batch from the same JC, went to a Chinese secondary school with full white uniform, working together in the same company, in the same department.
♬ It is a small world after all... ♬
I think I failed miserably to put the links in that long ridiculous sentence.


This is my seat! The chair nearest to the camera.


This is treasure hunting time, Wanqian.


It is no fun!
We had to do this back straining thing for once a month.
GRRR.


Do you realise that the ace girl is in the same position in every photo?

-------
Went to Jurong point for sushi buffet for dinner yesterday despite me shaking like a leaf in that restaurant.


This is the sushi buffet restaurant.


Got spider crabs!
That piping hot milo is mine, if you even can find it.
Hot milo served in a japanese buffet restaurant!?
Luckily got hot drinks, or else I'll cough like MAD and curled up on the floor foaming at the mouth.


Chawa-mushi!
I solo-ed 2.
It is not a feat, yes I know.


My family is ridiculous.


What the..

Ya la, I know they are trying to get the money worth.
It is like, near to $40/person for the dinner buffet.
Unlimited hours of eating.
If eat for 1 hour, the rates will be cheaper.


Interesting thing is, there will be a song being played for the diners to grab free ice cream.
♬ Dong dong dong, 1 2 3 ...♬
The dong dong dong ice cream is limited to 1st 20 customers who managed to queue up and got it.
It looked like an orange.
Haha.

Haha, I know that the Ace girl is trying to find a buffet place to eat.
But she cannot find my blog!
LOL.
I think.

I better go and drink some salt water now.
My throat is very sore!

Blahhhhhh.
