PY's 21st

Attended Py's party last night, was celebrated early though.

Venue was at her relative's house. I couldn't go early to help out with any preparations. I wanted to leave on the dot since I couldn't get off.

BUT... I left late cause the damn com at work screwed up and the appointment list wasn't saved. So Vivian went for her break thinking that there wasn't any more appointments even though one was already accepted.

I ended up having to stay back and do for the customer who was already there. The damn thing was that when I went to work today to find the sheet to key in, it was gone! I don't even know if the customer paid or not. But if she didn't, then it was just a bloody waste of my time! Even if she did pay but at other levels, I won't know and can't be going to all cashiers to search for it.
Damn it lah!

Anyway... Okok... Forget it. Back to the party.

The party!


There was quite a lot of people. I don't know them, so AK peeps + Jet + Dong were entertaining ourselves.


Food also quite a wide spread.
The cake was uber traditional. Hee hee... The fishy so cute!



Us and the cake...


Jet's bday was also not too long ago. So they just stuck a candle in and sang happy bday also...


Me & the Bday gal...


Cf, Jet, Vid, Von & I went Ktv after that. I don't know chinese songs, so I'll just sit there and listen to them. Hahaa.. I only know english songs.

Arghh.. I'm super tired, I need sleeppppp... ... ...

An Impromptu Nite Out

Yesterday, went over to have dinner with grandma, godma and uncle. Anyway, was just a simple dinner at the hawker centre. But I was held back at work cause the part timer didn't feel well and wanted to leave early.

I don't know what the hell is going on at work la. Last month we only had 3 headcount and we weren't really allowed to use part timers even when 1 had to go for event. This month we have 4 headcount, 2 are allowed to go have their off days and part timers are allowed.
Why huh?

Ohh then when they decided to cancel the event which I was supposed to go for, I requested for one of the saturday off and was rejected. Why?
Cause they wanted full strength on a sat. -_-"
So then I asked how come cannot get part timer?
I was told this... They don't wish to engage part timers whenever possible.
Seriously... What the f*ck?


No plans after dinner but as I was going home, I saw an sms from Liz, asking me to go out to celebrate her bday and since the promo just ended.
Went to get a cake from Delifrance. Went home first then went to meet them.

They wanted to go to a gay pub-club. Tee hee... First time going to gay pub-club, really curious to see how is it like. I saw a lot of gays outside this club, but I wasn't too sure if that was the one. Kept on calling them to give me directions. So basically, after walking a big round, then I realised that I was outside the right one just moments earlier. Darn it...

Anyway.. They didn't allow cakes to be brought in la. It was a damn mood dampener. So I just left it at the baggage counter and went in. The first area was the pub area. Liz, Jav and their friends were already there so I just sat there, facing the entrance where I had a good view of people who came in.

Soon joined by Cin, Shan and Kel, who wanted to go up to the club area. Cin knows its my first time to a gay club so insisted that I go up with them to see how its like instead of just sitting at the pub area. Hahah...

Normally at night, I already got a bit of problem due to astig. Now I had to go up this flight of stairs which was covered in black fur so it was super dark and misty. I could hardly see la!

Finally when I could see, I saw lots of guys. Practically no girls until much further in. The ratio of gals to guys was like 1:8. Most of them would probably fall into one or more of the 'good looking', 'cute' or 'hunky' category.
It would be like a typical girl's dream to be filled in a room of such guys until you snap back to reality and remember that one is in a gay club. Hahahahaa...

Jer, Wy, Co and many others which came as time went on. One even went as drag, complete with boobs and all. Haha! He was so different that I could hardly recognize.

We were like stuffing ice cubes down each other's back when they least realised it. Playing amongst ourselves and disturbing each other, oblivious to the others around us.

Ohh... One thing bout such clubs is that when gals go to the toilet, they come out much faster than compared to guys. Hahaha... Ok, besides the distance of toilets from where we were, other factors like queueing to use the toilet la.. Gals one was super fast cause there was hardly a queue.

Anyway, Liz didn't join us up at the clubbing area, she left with Jav and other friends of their's to Hyatt for some drinks instead. She asked me to head over to join them and will pay for my transport. But by the time I saw the sms it was like half hour later, so I didn't go in case they left Hyatt already.

The cake was still stuck at the baggage area cause the key was still with me. We went to claim it after we were about to leave. Liz called me to see where was I and asked me to wait where I was together so that she'll come and at least cut the cake.

We literally waited right smack wherever we were. Directly outside the club. When people are tired from clubbin, what they do while waiting is seriously damn hilarious. Kel was tired till pi tor kah. Co was high and was uttering rubbish and pinched off the bday cake cause she was too hungry. Cin was stoning with me. Shan and Jer were entertaining Co.

Liz came and had to cut her cake on the floor (directly in front of the club).
Anyway!!! I took some cake, went to Liz and smacked it right into her big eyes. Hahaha!!!
Cake war was declared (still in front of the club) but I ran away whenever they were near. So I was pretty clean compared to them after peace was instilled.

Heh... Though its not my bday, but I guess this would be one celebration that would be hard to forget.
All the unglamness and maddness, everything was so unplanned but it turned out just fine.

Geeky Technology

This is so disheartening!
The Creative Zen Micro Photo 8GB which I made a reservation for because it was out of stock, is expected to come in only in Feb 07!!!

Why like that!!!!????

The staff from Creative called me to inform me of the stock status and asked if I actually wanted to wait for it or get another item. So asked her for their current promos and she rattled off a few. Told her I can't decide on the spot cause I haven't seen the models yet. She'll follow up soon.
So now I'm thinking...
Should I wait???

Its a damn good offer la! $179 for 8GB player!
Its 8GB leh!
8 freaking gigabytes lor!

My goodness... I still can't get over this good offer! So I've to repeat myself.

8GB! 8GB! 8GB!

As long as I don't cancel my reservation slot, I can still get it at $179. Even when the stock arrives in Feb. I don't think the price of it will drop that much come feb next year right?

Arrrhhhhhh...
I only don't wish to wait so long because my current mp3 player has been with me for about 2 years now.
Its batt life is slowly dying. Not worth to buy new batt.
The buttons sometimes doesn't respond and the batt cover's catch is broken, sending in for repair isn't worth it also.


Which brings me to another geeky item of mine!

My thumbdrive.
Also with me for about 2 years. Giving me problems. Damn irritating!
Everytime I transfer data, bound to have more than 2 or more files which become corrupted. So when I get data and I come back to view it, all I see is corrupted crap. Its seriously fustrating! Formatting it doesn't help.

So I also need to get a new one. Haiyo... !
Anyway, already checked price. $45 for 1GB one... So is that cheap?? But I forgot to check which brand is it.

Why huh?? Technology stuff don't last long nowadays? Not even close to 4 years...


Ohhh... I went down to get a new digicam! Wheeeee... Although its only 6 mega pixel, but at least its an upgrade from the 3.2MP. Uses 2AAs instead of 4. Much more compact and pretty much lighter. More flexibility with the video mode. Comes with a 1GB SD card.
For so much good stuff, it still cost me lesser than the cost of the 3.2MP one.
Lovely!


Haizzz... The Creative Zen Micro Photo 8GB!

Its so prettyyyyyy!!!!

Early X'mas Dinner Party

Yesterday we had our training session cum X'mas dinner party. But in the early early morning at 7am, had to go down to the counter to do stock take. MY GOSH!!!

Anyway... We had like half day before part timer came to relief us and we could leave for the training cum dinner.

The location was in Mezza9 in Hyatt Hotel.

Training was held in Mezza9's wine cellar. Hahaha...
No, we were not being trained how to appreciate wine. I wish it was though...
We were having training on the upcoming session's looks and have a preview of all the new stuff coming up.
The lighting inside seems to auto dim after a period of time. Which made the place, so cold, so dim and very tempting to sleep.

After training, we had the x'mas gift exchange. So it was done like all our names were placed in a box. Person 'A' will pick a name out, say Person 'B'.
'A' will exit the cellar, choose their gift and proceed too the dining area.
'B' will come up and pick out name, say Person 'C' and the cycle goes on.

To walk to the dining area, we had to go pass the martini bar, which looks really nice!
So we got settled and the food started coming shortly.

The menu...


We ordered our martinis...
Cheers to all!


Didn't take food shots this time cause its shared food. Not so nice to keep hungry colleagues waiting while I snap away ya?

By dessert when all were already quite full and busy chatting away, I couldn't help but snap a pic of the dessert which was exactly like how the menu described it as. An Extravaganza!

But beware, the second item from the bottom row was damn powerful! I was the first one from my table to try that. So I used my spoon to scoop some and all the syrup started oozing out and overflowing. I was like "ohh shite shite, don't waste the syrup" and I started scooping more syrup to my spoon.
Then... thinking it was maple syrup I immediately tried it.
Ohhh... My.... GAWDDDDD!!!
I was practially drinking thick alcohol syrup!!!
It tasted damn concentrated somemore! Kinda gives the "wasabi" effect but this one goes up to the nose and down the throat. FWAHHH!!!

Ehhh... Again I don't know who else brought digi cam. But I think I've already consolidated most of the pics ba.
Then I made them into yet another collage.
Suddenly I like making all these collages. Its like making and fitting my own imaginary jigsaw.

Vid's Bday

Yesterday was basically a travel-to-meet-people-for-meals-day for me.

One thing in common, to take photos. 'Take' as in to transfer to me and to snap pictures.

HA! My schedule was like packed lor.
2pm to 3pm Meet Cindy during her lunch break. (Get photos)
3pm to 4pm Travel to next location
4pm to 5pm Meet Roland during his lunch dinner break. (Get photos)
5pm to 6pm Travel to next location
6ish pm to late Meet AK peeps to celebrate Vid's bday. (Snap lots of photos)

Only intending to compile those pictures taken with their camera during the dinner and dance cause I don't really know who else brought cam. But I think most of them would want a copy of the consolidated pics since "halloween" is a pretty interesting theme for the D&D.


Right... So bout the Vid's bday dinner. AK peeps + Jet + Joey went to Arcadia in Bishan Park to have dinner. Waited quite a while for Ym & Jet to find their way there.
The ambience is very relaxing. Food orders were also served in a very laid back pace.
A pretty nice place by the park to chill out without feeding the mozzies.



Group picture before leaving. Guess this is the best pic out of the lot where all are smiling and no funny pose. The extra white strip at the bottom gives a bit of dreamy effect hor? Hahaha... Its actually the flashlight refection on the table.

The post celebration was over at Macs which was like nearer our homes.

Vid's pressies were Braun Bruffel Wallet, the sunflower and a "Chip" without "Dale" keychain.
Before that in the shop, someone was complaining that "Dale" keychain looks like it has jaundice and looks reallllyyy U.G.L.Y. so only got him a "Chip".
After receiving the keychain some days later, that same someone decides to complain that no matter how disgusting they look, "Chip & Dale" should still come as a pair.

Just For Laughs

Here's something I received from the email...
Quite funny la...

I wrote your name on sand,it got washed
I wrote your name in air, it was blown away,
then, I wrote your name on my heart
and I got heart attack.

God saw me hungry, he created pizza
He saw me thirsty, he created Pepsi
He saw me in dark, he created light
He saw me without problems, he created YOU.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
You should know what you are
And once you know what you are
Mental hospital is not so far.

The rain makes all things beautiful,
the grass and flowers too
If rain makes all things beautiful,
why doesn't it rain on you?

Roses are red, violets are blue
Monkeys like you should be kept in zoo
Don't feel so angry you will find me there too
Not in cage but laughing at you.

When your life is in the darkness,
pray to God ask him to free u from darkness
And if after you pray and you are still in darkness,
please pay your ELECTRICITY BILL!

Halloween Party

Attended my company's Dinner and Dance last night. Was held at the Ritz Carlton.
Theme: Halloween
Dress code: Magically stylish

Few days before, I kept bugging Cindy & Roland to share a hotel room so that we won't have to rush when we finish work back home and to the dinner. A few other colleagues also didn't mind sharing. So we ended up booking a room in Hotel Eighty-One for bout 3hours. Hee hee...

The arrangment was Roland would drive, then we would be able to leave our things in the car after checking out of the hotel. Its damn funny... He volunteered to send me and Cindy back after the dinner without even finding out where we stayed first. I stay in the NorthEast, she stays in the East, he stays in West. Super big detour, its maddness!

The hotel was very nice! Not as sleazy as I thought it would be. Heh heh...
In fact, I'd rather stay there then some 4-star (as they claim to be) hotels in other countries cause its really clean! Plus there is LCD tv complete with SCV somemore.

Ignore the barang on the parapet (or is there another name for it?) and the messed up bedsheets (the bed has been jumped upon, tested and approved already. *snigger...*)

After we were fully transformed, me and Cindy had to cross the road to wait for Roland to pick us up. The rest were still in the room preparing to leave together in the other car. The lift door opened and the guy waiting outside got a shocked to see a witch inside the lift. He kinda jumped a bit.. Muahahahaa..
Then while at the bus stop, a lot of passerbys kept on looking and wondered what was the occasion.

We arrived at the hotel. This party was way cool lah! I've never attended a halloween party. Almost everyone there were all dressed up. Some scary, some funny, some gory, some sexy and some were just confused souls. Its exciting to try identifying fellow colleagues la...

As for me, many suggested I go dirty and hagged.
But I don't wanttttt...... I wanna go as a glam witch.
HAHAHAA...

A lot of interesting costumes. Lots of flashes going off and chit chatting as everyone lingered outside the ballroom while waiting.

Frankly, the food wasn't great.
But I guess the presentation and overall setup of the ballroom made up for it.

I know, I know... That 2nd row 1st picture is super out of colour scheme ya? It wasn't taken with my camera so the light and other settings are different. No choice la.. They turned off the lights for some performance when the main course was served. The pic I took was blurry and its hard to even make out what is it. They only turned the lights back on after I dug into my chicken.

The emcee was pretty entertaining.
Out of 10 nominees, 4 were from BB (that's not bad wor!). They were supposed to go upstage to do a catwalk which I videoed down.

Think everyone was just waiting for the lucky draw then make a move.
I didn't get anything... =(
I was busy snapping away even when we're already at the main entrance of the hotel.
The valet drove the car over already, so no choice, had to leave.
I haven't snapped enough pics yet! Haiyo...

Ok... Total damage for this D&D.
Rental of the costume cost me 50bucks.
Bought the mini cauldron for bout 6bucks.
Glitter tubes to decorate the cauldron 3bucks. But they dropped off anyway. =(
5bucks for the dark royal purple nail polish which Cindy found for me.
Black stockings think was bout 3bucks.
Earrings 2bucks.
Lucky I borrowed boots from Xl, so I save bout 80bucks there.

Some had to work morning shift the next day so there weren't any plans besides going home.
6 people squeezed into the car. Dropped off one by one. I was supposed to be last. Then Jerlyn called to ask Fenn if they wanted to go for some drinks. A bit silly for them to send me back then go back to the hotel to pick her again so I decided to join them.
They drove to a chill-out place somewhere. After a drink, we went to a club in Clarke Quay. I think I started to get kinda tired. Very sleepyyyy...

They wanted to send me back but then its a bit ridiculous cause it was already so late and they are supposed to work morning shift. I cabbed back with Jerlyn. They carried all my barang to the cab for me. But when I reached home and had to carry all my barang + the extra things I got to carry, the weight was simply unbearable already. Too tired and not enough energy to carry, my hands were breaking already. I walked out of the lift and put the things along the corridor to rest my sore hands.
But instead, I dozed off for a good 10minutes while squatting down. Damn pro.. Hahaha!


Okok... Enough words already...
Took too many pics. I don't wanna show one by one so I made a collage instead.
=)
