After work Branch Outing

Yest, we had our first br outing (less hy, ys and boss - all unable to make it) after work (organized by me.. hehe).. suppose to set sail at 5pm sharp.. but i was so busy on fri.. left at 5.30 instead.. reached Sakura @ Orchard shopping center for dinner buffet.. I dun deny the variety is large.. ranging from fried food to peranakan food to crabs, oysters to dian xin to sushi to sashimi to satay to western food like fillet, chicken chops etc to snacks like durian puffs, nonya kuehs to ice cream to cakes... but i think the food quality is bad.. and i had to admit i din try lots of things.. din try prawns coz it dun look fresh.. din try the nonya kuehs coz they lok very dry (kinda like left there from morning till now de).. din try the dian xin coz i am full already.. the crabs are not nice coz there is not much crab meat.. the western stuff and satay are not too bad.. durian puff and the others that i tried was so so..

Overall, i dun think its worth 30 bucks (which includes an additional of 2 bucks for fri nite and another 2 bucks for Orchard outlet).. food quality is just one aspect.. its too rowdy like a market... so noisy like supermarket... and pple nv queue up.. they just cut ur queue and rushed for their food as if they were starved for few days liao... its oso kinda sqeuezy as the walking space between ur table and the next table is so limited...

After dinner, we (all except the NSFs) headed towards Partworld at Int building for ktv... 9pm to midnite.. wahaha... david and myself spent most of the time holding on to the mic.. coz nobody wants to sing.. occassionally adrian will sing abit here and there (coz he dunno how to read many chi characters) and ph helped out for few songs.. din manage to convince Joyce and Jane to sing!! wasted.. haa.. coz they said they were there to hear us sing..

Took a cab home after tt.. hmm... midnite charges.. heart pain sia... surcharge of 50% leh!!! but nvm lah.. once in a blue moon.. long time since i took a cab..

I had lots of fun today.. good unwinding session where we juz tok cock sing song and play mahjong.. had been very stressful and busy at work and i need a good laugh, a shopping trip, a meet up wif friends.. and most importantly, my weekends to recharge my battery!!

New bossy

Had our internal R&A meeting with boss and our new boss. Boss briefed all of us what each and every SOs are doing and the way ahead.. after which he left for lunch wif ACs and all the br hds (coz AC is treating all the br hds)..

Met my new boss today.. the EAs and NSFs left while all the SOs briefed him on our job scope and all the stuff.. he looks friendly and approachable (thumbs up!) :) had the discussions till 1 plus.. my stomach is growling by then.. haa.. after the discussion, new bossy had lunch wif the 4 of us... apparently, all of them (esp Adrian and the EAs) knew/seen the new boss b4 (except me... ) coz he was from PDB and AIC...

Alright... i am not longer that moody and emo.. haha

Cheers...

Sigh

Heard a shocking news today.. my boss is gg to be posted out to a new unit!! sigh sigh and sighs... Gosh.. this news is so sudden.. so shocking.. 晴天霹雳... this was a sudden decision that was made by CDF hence no choice... but den again.. i think boss is the right person to be posted there coz he is such a brillant HR guy.. I gonna miss his "guidance" so much... sianz...



Most, if not all of my colleagues from my branch is so used to military officers posting in and out.. they are 麻木 already.. but this definitely dun apply to me.. i am so so affected by this coz i am a very emotional person... sianz... for that moment i haf no mood to work... felt so lost.. was so saddened by this.. i gonna be very emo these few days... oh no.. i need time to adjust and adapt... adjust to his absence and adapt to the new boss's working style etc...



He being my first ever boss.. and he is the person who gave me the chance and offered me the job.. the person who taught and guided me alot.. the person who i have due respect for.. the person who can give me clear directions... the person who can simplified and explained things with the least army lingo in it.. the person who is so smart and brillant.. the person who is so outspoken.. the person whom is recognized by the higher level.. the person who can control his emotions so well that i nv see him lost his temper b4 (this is really a criteria for a good boss... thats the 最高境界.. one muz reach enlightenment first b4 they can control their mood and temper well.. and not bring any emotions to work).. the person who fetch me to as far East as possible when we had meetings till 9pm.. the person who can see the big picture in a gimpse... the person who is so health conscious.. the person who loves subway... and lastly, the person who is gg to leave us soon..



Haiz.. 天下无不散筵席.. i guess this is life.. not up to us to choose... hope that our new boss will be good and we will be able to build up the great rapport soon... May things work out well



Gwen.. stop being so emo!!!

GS life run

Had our life run around the track on mon... it has been long time since i run... and 2 days later.. my whole body is still aching.. seriously... sigh... am quite proud of myself.. ran 7 rounds x 800m.. not bad ya... considering i hate running and the last time i ran was.. a yr ago??? became very very unfit... haha... but right now... i am like a ah ma.. haha..

"Tai Tai" life

Last fri, I took half day off to experience the tai tai life... wahaha... Jan Nee, Zheng Jue and myself took cab from office to Royal Park hotel for buffet lunch... as there wont any signs of cabbies at the taxi stand, we called a cab and it turned out to be a Mercerzs cab... haha... go to hotel for lunch muz also have the pai chang... hehe... met david over there... food was good.. they served paranakan food... most prolly is coz of the show "Little Noyna".. haha... they oso haf some local delights like mee siam, laska.. , sushi corner and dian xin... the snacks corner had choc fondue.. cakes, kuehs... deserts and ice cream... weekday lunch buffet was 32+++...

Following lunch, we went to Partyworld KTV @ Orchard International Building... k songs from 3pm till 7pm... Partyworld ktv is more ex compared to Kbox.. and there are so irritating.. prog such that the last song is at around 645pm.. ugh... oh btw.. David has such a nice vocal sia... haha...

Confirmation

Whee~~ i got my confirmation letter already.. haha.. a sigh of relief coz the economic situation is real bad... everyday when i flipped over the papers.. i see news of co closing down.. many pple being retrenched.. tts saddening...

Anw, treated mum, dad and sis to Crowne Plaza hotel's Azur restaurant for buffet lunch... The spread over there was terrible... so few varieties and not worth the px!!! its 38+++ per pax if i am not wrong... wont ever go there again...

There is a mini steamboat corner with a few steamboat items... had italian pasta/ linguine... and western stuff... basically, the chef's standard was juz so so.. but the cakes were not too bad.. and the ice cream is from Häagen-Dazs.. not those cheapo kings ice cream... but there were only 4 flavors... when will i see any buffet serving Anderson or swensen ice cream??? hehe..

Accident

Saw a car accident on my way home.. although i did not witness the whole thingy.. but i think it just happened few mins b4 i saw it.. its along PIE and i am on my tpt (coach bus.. so its higher)... the motorcyclist was facing down, with a pool of blood coming out from his mouth... and his leg was already tilted... sigh... it saddened me alot.. and i am very affected and shaken by it.. live is so vulnerable... haiz...

hmm.. makes me abit scare n worried coz i am taking my basic theory test on 18 April 09.
