Last of 2006

Ooo... My last post for this year!

Had to work in the morning. Yawnnnzzz!!

Some stupid bitch of a customer insisted that I lied to her. Damn it... I was being like nice to call her up and inform her that the item she wanted to reserve would not be coming in, what came in was another item. She didn't answer the phone and insisted that I didn't call her. When I gave her the date I called her, she then said it was the Xmas period and she was so busy calling catering and arranging for her party, I should have called again. Like its my problem you have to organize a party? She even said she checked her missed call list right up to Jan and didn't see my counter number. LIE!!! Who has a missed call list till Jan if you are a such a busy person? So STUPID! Anyway, she made a big fuss out of it.. I can't be bothered, really.

So by the time I was done with all my paperwork and that stupid stuff, it was the same time as Jav finishes work. Still super pissed with that bitch, so needed some therapy.

Retail therapy that is. But this time wasn't for tidbits, it was for bedsheets. Muahaha.. We were looking for those more class designs. Like, super tai tai cause must find nicely designed, with high thread count. I was "blamed" for wanting to go shop around and in the end, its not me who spends so much again.

Rushed back home to take a shower cause I don't know the countdown party over at my place later tonight will last until what time. Hahaha..

One More Bday Celebration

Last night met up with AK Peeps... Its a combined bday celebration for me & Ym. Actual day for her though. Had our dinner at Manhattan Fish Market.

Shared a seafood platter with Py. I asked her to cut some of the fried oyster for me to try. YUCKS! Oysters stink! It tasted so gross! My goshhhh... I hereby conclude that oysters stink regardless whether its cooked or not. Its an acquired taste which I don't think I can ever get used to.
Eeeeewww...

Anyway... After dinner, we couldn't really decide where we wanted to go or what to do. So finally we decided to head to a pub where cab fare will cost less than $5 bucks to get back after midnight. Played cards there. Lame games and all that. But didn't stay exactly that long cause the place was closing for the night. Bummer...

Ohh... I only know Ym took some pictures when we were having dinner. But she hasn't sent me any, so I don't have any to post up.

X'mas Part 2

Okie... This entry will be more pics less words.
=)

Dinner was Pizza but no KFC cause they said it was raining heavily and they suspend delivery for the time being, so we sent the guys out to the mall to get the chicken instead.

Played 'Game Of Life' but stopped halfway cause food came!

Merry X'mas

Hee... Thank goodness I don't have to work today. Some stupid toad wanted the store to be opened on X'mas day. Such a grinch. Must be a lonely hag without family or friends.

Anyway... Last night, attended midnight mass. Met up with Ade & Ken after that and couldn't really decide where to head to. Went driving around Orchard but nothing much. Picked up Ade's friends and we still couldn't decide where to go. Clubs were already closing. Ended up for supper at Newton.

By the time we were done, it was bout 5am. Everyone wanted to go Ken's house for some drinks and chill out. I was super tired out already so I thought of just taking cab back. But just 1 hour before no more midnight charge. I decided to go his place and wait.

Needed sleep cause I'll be having a party tonight with my babes and their other halves.

*Edited to add a very nicely done collage by Ade!*

Oyster Pearls

Had to work on X'mas eve till about 6pm. Had lunch-to-go and went shopping with Lifang for x'mas pressies for Viv, Nor & Jav. Managed to get it at OG.... Muahahaa... Very focused window shopping. They gave a voucher to collect a pearl if you spend $20 and above. At first we were thinking its probably just cheap man-made pearls. Found out that they were real but we couldn't be bothered to go collect it.

After work, went to continue shopping. Went back OG again.. This time more free to go queue and collect my pearl. Its extracted out of REAL oysters right in front of your very eyes! WOW!! Interesting.

Anyway, because I forgot to tell Jav that the bag in the cupboard for him. So he left and I made sure he went back to the counter to collect it. Hahaa.. Then somehow he was also interested to see how pearls were extracted from real oysters, so we went back to collect another one which I was to lazy to re-queue to collect.

Ohh... Then because Lifang brought me up to their tidbits section which had a super wide variety of stuff, I wanted to go up so Jav went with me. Like little kids in a candy store, we were just grabbing a LOT of stuff. With a bill of like $20+ EACH spent on just those tidbits alone. Hahaha..

Actually the extracting of pearls aren't that impressive la.. But we re-queued like few more times cause we wanted to get a few more so that they can be put through the pearl test to see if its real, and if it is, whether good quality or not.
Lame.. Hahaha..

Ohh... I was blamed for enticing him to spend like close to 80 over bucks within that short time. Hahaha... Idiot!

Another Celebration

Having just 3 hours of sleep after reaching home only at bout 6am, I had to prepare to attend another gathering/celebration.

This time its with my family and relatives. Had lunch at Sizzler. I don't think I made my money worth. I ate a lot less than what I would normally stuff myself with during a buffet. Hahaha...

Grandma sponsored my bday cheesecake.

Sizzler gave a complimentary cake.
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It was damn huge!!!!

Erm... I didn't take much photos. Heh heh...

Ok... Super tired! Nap time...

Officially 21

Hmm... Hee... Ok... So I've finally turned 21. Muahaha...

Remember this entry where I listed my bday wants and dunch wants in case some of you, my friends wanted to get me something but don't have any idea?

So I've got...
w05 mates got me a matching bracelet and earrings.
Grace, Hj, Xl, Yl kindly sponsored part of the MP3 player
Gina was consolidating online order for bags and I was interested in getting one. So she decided to sponsor that.
Bracelet from Liz.
Joe & Yogs got me an Esprit Bag.
Robinsons voucher from Vivian.
Cash!!! Most of my relatives gave me red packet.


Ehhh... Yup... I think thats about all I received for now.

Yesterday after work, Liz came down early to meet me. We went to our usual place and had yummy chicken wings and potato wedges with Carlsberg while waiting for the rest to finish work.

Slowly one by one arrived. Jav, Jerlyn, Cin. It was kinda last minute thingy so many of them weren't able to come. Wes, Jav's friend also came down.

We were playing Bluff and Daidi till bout midnight when they started signaling to each other and all that la. I thought they bought a cake and wanted to smash me with it. Maybe Liz wanted to take revenge.
But the next thing I knew, the bartender came with a cocktail glass containing some brownish drink and a straw without any decorations and stuff... So I was wondering if that was the Flaming Lamborghini?
But according to what I heard, I think it was called "Waterfall".
The bartender tried to light up a drink in a brandy glass but the fire would just die out cause the fans were too strong. They made me go right to the bar counter to drink from there instead. Ventilation still too strong. So the manager suggested that off the fan for a while so that I could drink it up.
Right... Then my crazy colleagues wanted it to look nice so they requested to have the glasses all stacked up while the bartender pours the contents of the brandy cup down. So that the flame will trickle down the stacked glasses and into the cocktail glass.
Scary can? I didn't know how was I supposed to drink it lor... Flaming leh. Will I burn my tongue? Will the flames melt the straw? Like super a lot of questions running in my head.
I only know they kept on asking me to just drink it up fast, don't stop sucking the straw.

I didn't know how many people were watching me drink cause I was like looking at the drink, concentrating and thinking where should I stick my straw but I could hear cheering and clapping from them and even other people in the pub.
Madness!

Quite easy to down it, wasn't a disgusting concoction. Tasted pretty alright I think. Downed it too fast for my taste buds to savour the drink and remember the taste.
But concentrated alcohol heated to its boiling point that just gives like an immediate high.
Then after that, everyone was like asking me if I'm alright or not, drunk or not, can go home or not and all the other questions.
I don't have any pictures of the drink or of me drinking the drink. They didn't know how to use my camera. Since it was a flaming drink, cannot wait and slowly show them how to use it.
=(

Stayed on for a while more before those who had to work the next day had to leave.
Vivian came to join us. But we didn't stay that long either.

Went with Liz to Clarke Quay. I went to this club which I think given a choice in the future, I wouldn't really want to step in to that place ever again. The music is fine, but not the crowd.

Anyway, it was pretty boring, don't think I'll blog much about it.
Here are the pictures taken with my BB colleagues.

Early Bday Celebration

Met up with Cf & Vid for a lil shopping around Orchard.

We decided to start walking from Dhoby and I bought a necklace for 7 bucks. I wasn't really looking for any particular things cause I've already assaulted my card and account quite a fair bit just the last night. In fact, last night after work, I purposely went colour (anything but black) top hunting.

Why?

All because of Hj lah...

We're celebrating our bdays together so she kept on nagging that I'm always in black.
Like what can I do if I work 26 days in a month and meet them mostly only after work. Lazy to bring extra clothes just to go change each day lor. Plus I not so free to wash so much extra clothes.

Mmm.. So ya, I found a plain and simple top. Green colour. *Phew!*
Then I went on to buy a black colour one as well... Tee heee...
Plus I bought the small bag with the intention to use it for my bday. A nice bronze colour.
Ohhh... Not forgetting a pint of Haggen Dazs ice cream.
All that within 2.5 hours of lone shopping. =))


Right.. So back to today...
Cf was princess for the day. She just have to say what she was looking for and we were helping her look out for it. Vid & I seemed more enthu to find it then her. Hahaha..

The weather was crazy! Rain, stop, rain, stop. Aiyoo... A bit spoiler la.

I went off to meet up with Grace, Xl, Yl & the other bday gal, Hj. Had our gathering at Coffee Club.
Ohhh!! Guess what?
The 2 bday gals made bday cards for each other on their own and the others weren't aware of it.
HAHAHAAA!!!
But if we had to rate the cards, the one I made would fail terribly in comparison to the one she made.
Er... Wait a minute, I think the one she made is more like a mini scrapbook rather than card. She actually took the effort to extract pictures of me which fits the lyrics to a particular song by Corrine May. Do some deco and stuff... and voila... A simple yet nice and personalized card.

Anyway, here's the pictures taken during the bday gathering.

I Buy More When I Shop Alone

Another off day just over like that.

Planned to shop today. Well... I was late again. Suppose to meet Meanie at 2pm (at Bishan somemore). I only left house at 2pm. I know... My fault la. But I can't help it cause I had to get some things done for dad before I my conscience is clear to go out and shop.

Stretch out hand by road to get to Bishan asap. Did whatever we had to do over in Bishan then went down to Orchard to shop.

Today's main aim were to get a few items, check out prices and all that la. Time was pretty tight so it was pretty much go in, see, decide, go. But still, straying was inevitable.

It was pretty disappointing trip to Orchard. The only things I spent money on was for tunch. I didn't eat much earlier on in the day so was kinda hungry.

AX got sale! But too bad the belt I have my eyes on doesn't have.

We went our seperate ways shortly after shopping. I had some time to kill before dad came to pick me up and head for dinner with grandma and godma.
I really cannot be left alone to shop! I'll end up buying something. Hahahaha...
Tee hee... I got myself a top.

Then after dinner, dad dropped me off at the mall to buy bread. Alone again lor...
*Ahem* I went shopping again.
Just going to buy the loaf of bread and leave would probably take about 10-15mins.
I spent more than *ahem* an hour *ahem* or so

To Buy Or Not To Buy

Was suppose to meet Yl at 12.30pm. But I was delayed until about 3.30 because I had to help dad take pictures of some items for his customer. So since it was urgent and I could only meet her at a later time.

Went to Vivo to shop. It was disappointing. The fashion trend at the moment doesn't seem to appeal to me leh. So many "winter" clothes and layering is in. But I don't like leh...

Max came to join us. Hj also came after work. They couldn't decide what to eat. I didn't want to make the decision. Finally we went for Sushi Tei, dinner was a bday treat for me & Hj courtesy of Max.

Hmmm... I'm now so tempted. Tempted to buy a belt at $139 from Armani Exchange. I like the design... My gosh my gosh!
Found out that its selling much much cheaper from the net. So even after shipping and all that. Its still gonna be way cheaper. Which makes me even more tempted to buy. Heh heh...
Should I? Should I not?
Yes? No? Maybe?
I just like the simple design. Classy but not over the top.
How lehhhh????

Ohh... I bought my mp3 player already. The 8Gb one!
Yep yep, stocks came earlier than expected.
I also bought myself 2 watches. One of which slipped out of my hands and dropped right before I could wear it. The face kinda cracked a bit inside. The other one yet to wear.

I am sleep deprived! I need to rest more. I think I should. I can suddenly sit there quietly and stone and wish that I had my pillow right there to sleep on.

Since I chose not to have one big bday bash where all family, friends, colleagues come together, I have to find more days to go out with different groups of people.
Well... quality over quantity for me.
So next week will be super busy! Just that week alone, I'll have 3 celebrations.
Monday for my babes, Friday night after work for my colleagues, sat for my family.
The week after that also will be busy.
Tuesday will be xmas party at Liz's house. Thursday (most prob) will be with AK peeps. Sunday countdown to new year.

My goshhhh... I better sleep more. Starting from now.
Good nite!

More Late Nights

Ahhhh... Full shift tomorrow! Gonna be so damn tired.

Why are all the nice colleagues leaving? Their last days are within a span of few days from each other only. Sighhh....

Anyway, been really busy recently. Had been working continuously for 16 days.
Can die lor, serious.
Have also been having alot of post work activities. Either clubbing or pubbing. Because I've been working so many straight days, I can't be bothered to know which date is which day since I know my off day was still long way, nothing to countdown to. So I can't really recall which days I went to which clubs/pubs.

I never understood how people could go clubbing 3 times a week and still go to work everyday.
Now I know... My was 3 days back to back to back wor! Hahaha.. My goshhh...
That was the super energy consuming.
By the 3rd night when I went with Liz and Jav, I think they knew I was pretty much stoning already. Cause normally when I work, I'm not very quiet either. I was just sitting there silently and starring at the telly as if I really understand and enjoy soccer. Fact was my mind couldn't think of any conversations cause I was too sleepy.
Nahh... Wasn't drunk, just tired. I won't drink excessively till I'm drunk.

Tequila shots tastes damn horrid especially if you have an ulcer right smack on the lips and you must suck the lemon after drinking it. OUCHHH!!!~

Ohhh... Attended w05's gathering on the 9th. Ohh ya... Before the 3rd consecutive clubbing/pubbing. Perhaps that's also why I was more easily tired out.
We went to Marche for dinner. Took lots of pictures! Almost half the peeps there brought cameras. So can you imagine how many times we have to take?
Its nice catching up with them. More than half are slaves to the nation. Some by choice. Hahaha...
So nice of them, bought me & Sx a cake to celebrate our 21st birthday.
Ohh... Not forgetting a pair of earrings and a bracelet too.
Here's that night's pictures...
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Wheeeee... My next off day is coming! On the 14th! Yippeeee... Its time to get new clothes.
Can't wait for it!

Late Nights

I've been having quite a lot of outings with my colleagues after work.

Monday, Vivian wanted to have Mac's for supper but later changed her mind and wanted to go somewhere with live band. We went Balaclava's and ordered food to eat. This guy who wanted to get to know her decided to use food as a common topic.
Damn lame ass la.. Hahaha.. We found him a nuisance cause he kept asking or saying the obvious like...
1) What is this? (While pointing to a hot dog.)
2) Wahh, you gals know how to enjoy life ar?
3) Thats quite a lot of food for supper. (Thanks ar.. Like we need him to bring that to our attention. Plus its not supper.. Its our dinner can?)
I couldn't even be bothered to entertain him when Vivian kept quiet to his lame questions.
There were points of time where I don't know whether I should laugh at his silly questions or just roll my eyes and look away.

Finally when they left, we felt more peaceful. Hahaha... Changed our table so that we could rest on the glass panel.
Then these 2 guys came in and sat few tables in front of us. After a while, they came over and introduced themselves and promtly sat at our table. Then and only then, they asked, "do your mind if we join you?"
Hello... You plop your ass down already then you ask if we mind? It's like drinking someone's water then pretend to ask... Ehhh... That's your cup? Not mine ar?

Anyway... I cannot be bothered with these people. I can't even remember their names; or rather, don't even put in the effort to remember. Waste my memory space for what sia...
Whoever: Hi... What's your name?
Me: Jessica. You?
Whoever: I'm ______.
Me: Huh sorry, repeat?
Whoever: ______.
Me: Orhh...
(Me thinking: Err... Ok, whatever....)
Yet another super lamer who couldn’t really hold a proper conversation. Damn sian… I’d rather sit there quietly and look at the band play.

After that we went to another place.. Munich? Or something like that. Apparently, they brew their own beer there. Never tried before though... Not too bad...


Tuesday someone came down to give me chocolates from Aussie + some shower gel in some cute candy cane packaging. Then we went to look for another colleague to give her chocs and shower gel, before leaving to have our dinner at Creme Cafe. I didn’t have to pay for that super filling meal, how nice. Was a bit like gossip session. Hahaa…


Wednesday met Liz after work to go for dinner + just chill out. It was a super duper major bitching session over pasta and wings, really. Jerlyn came to join us after she did her closing. So while waiting for Javen & Roland to come join us, we went to the toilet. You cannot imagine the rubbish the 3 of us have in our bags. Cosmetics and stuff, amazing wor… Enough to do full makeover right there in the toilet lor. Hahaha..

So the guys came to join us and we went over to CHIJMES. I’m like a mountain tortoise and they’ll were my guides. We ended up in club/pub. There was live band there which was pretty good! The lead singer is actually the ex Sg Idol’s judge.
Saturday, had Crystal Jade with grandma, godma and bro. We ordered a lot of food! Goodness…! It was like a 10 course dinner...

Grandma had a fall few days before that so the swelling and blood clots were still kinda visible. Wanted to bring her to walk around to see X’mas lightings but decided against it; since it was way too crowded. She would have to look at the path she was walking, then look up to see the lights, look up look down, look up look down, don’t think will enjoy that much. Walked them to the MRT so that they could go home to rest.

Me, on the other hand, went to look for Liz. She wanted to go have yummilicious chicken wings at this pub near my workplace. The wings, are superb! Very juicy and tasty, ohh… pricey too la. Think it is stated on the menu that 90% of their customers would come back for more. I don’t see why not.


Anyway, it was yet another super duper major bitching session part 2. Jav also came down to join us for wings after he did closing.


All too stressed out at work. Even colleagues from other brands has been telling me that.


That obvious huh?
