Today is the first day I drove bwear's family car (SUV no less) from changi to Cck! Till now my legs still felt a bit jelly like haha though I would personally rate my driving 8/10!

Actually I'm just very thankful that nothing major happened lol. I foresee more days of driving to come! Hopefully with a much smaller car in the near future

Puss in Boots 3D sneak preview!

Maow and I decided to take a 2D1N trip to Sentosa since her passport is expiring haha.

In decreasing order of disgustingness, underwater world where our childhood memories lay with the really creepy garden eels. Then comes my pretty nails and then our siloso beach resort room for the night!

Btw fish spa is also very creepy :/

We're movin on to luge now!

2011-10-28T22:18:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow's an exciting journey to Vietnam with Shuhuiii!

Happy 24th vick!!!! :D

Counting down...

2011-10-24T19:43:00.001+08:00

Never thought that I would change to another job again within these few months. But I am glad that the opportunity came and am very grateful for it :)

Still, I'll definitely miss my times in imagine, patting 8 dogs in the evenings when the uncle comes by with them at the open air carpark, eating dirt cheap chicken wanton mee with watercress soup at only $2, wondering what colour they'll paint the building with, and many many more :)

I guess every new experience brings new memories to be cherished :)

Knick-knacks from Chinese fast-food restaurant

Today is an awesome day :D

2011-10-07T23:45:00.001+08:00

Or rather I think that it's awesome but the real verdict will only surface in months to come :)

Heck, here I go!

A very proud Bwear

2011-10-05T17:38:00.000+08:00

'cos he parked perfectly on the first try and it's our first outing alone with the massive car!

How true.

2011-10-05T17:37:00.000+08:00

Too bad I'm a lousy coin tosser, if not my life would be so much easier haha!

My blood

Yes, all 20ml of it :) donated blood for bestie's cancer research today, plus I get free health diagnosis!

Any females out there who wanna help too? She needs your blood urgently!

Back to school :)

2011-09-27T09:32:00.000+08:00

Glad I had the opportunity to meet a mentor from NTU ventures, who invited me to this 3 day course. :)

The feeling of coming back to uni, walking up those familiar stairs, sitting on new tables and chairs and actually having lecture notes overwhelmed me with a sense of longing to turn back time. To go back to the time whereby projects and modules rule my world, friends and coursemates tide each other through tutorials and exams.

I really miss those days.

My office snack of the month

2011-09-20T18:19:00.000+08:00

First work trip

2011-09-12T23:27:00.000+08:00

I can't think of a more creative header of my first work trip than simply this. In more ways than one, it kinda felt that way. Just simple straight forward there-you-have-it kind of experience. Guess it's more comfortable than my solo trip to Poland which really scared the hell outta me hahaha. I'll never forget my Munich overnight stay which i almost missed my flight the next day.

Stayed at crown regency serviced apartment in central KL, ate yummy nasi lemak at madam kwan (very similar to grandma's in Singapore) and had a really full dinner at oversea restaurant in Chinatown with the best char siew and shuo bak (as claimed by my boss) haha.

So proud to be a singapokean

2011-09-10T20:40:00.000+08:00

Happy quarter of a century my Bwear!

2011-09-10T17:25:00.000+08:00

Chinese restaurant buffet is the most amazing thing ever. You get unlimite servings of cereal prawns, fried fish, sliced beef, Hor fun, sambal kangkong, spicy n sour soup, braised tofus and almond longan dessert!! Woohoo~ all at $21.80 per pax. Oh we paid $23.80++ to have chilli crabs but it's not fantastic really.

FB wish came true

2011-09-09T20:06:00.000+08:00

Two days ago, I posted on my FB wall stating:

"Jing Jing Koh is yearning to go on a trip!"

And true enough today my boss booked a work trip to KL for us next week for two days. Wow. I wonder what will happen if I asked for a million bucks on FB (which I tried). Hehehe

Pre-event jitters

2011-09-07T07:47:00.001+08:00

Of all times I have to get a tummy upset. May my first event after I joined this new company be a success!

Blueb and I grabbed this awesome deal from groupon - 25bucks for 2 hours of baking class - and had 2 hours of heavenly chocolatey bliss! The pictures below say it all :)

I will not vote for Tan Jee Say because...

2011-08-25T19:07:00.001+08:00

The role of the president to me personally is NOT to fulfill your own political agenda, NOT to provide 'checks and balances' on the ruling party and your speech totally reeks of it. If that's all that you think is important, then I'm sorry, I rather hand my vote to someone who has a more accurate and intelligent view of presidency. Goodbye.

NTU charity fund-raising event!

Vroom Vroom! Cars 2

2011-08-13T11:11:00.000+08:00

I love it when movies portray round the world scenes. When catching the trailer of Cars 2, I caught glimpses of Japan, England (big ben), Paris (Eiffel tower, louvre etc), all amidst delightfully cute cars :D Considering Singapore is also in the limelight for F1 soon, it's great timing to get the mood ready!

The best part is they have my fave color to portray a secret service agent, Holley Shiftwell! She's the one on the left below, next to the all time fave, Mater! Actually if I was a purple colored spy car, I'll call myself Magenta Shinealot. Magenta cos it's purple, and because she is so shiny. Otherwise, if i'm my car body is made up of reflective surfaces (so that i can blend in with the surroundings), I'll call myself Mirer Cantseeme. Hahaa, having worked in the aviation industry, watching this scene below really cracked me up at how cool they reconstruct the interior of an aircraft to be. Awesome!

Check out the trailer here:

Getting fatter by switching jobs

2011-08-02T15:31:00.000+08:00

Sigh. I thought I escaped the constant flow of goodies from my old company (not that I mind, exotic food worldwide is always welcomed) but now my new company has more stuff!!

Yesterday I had tao kuay from old airport road, delicious char kuay teow from don't know where and today look at the goodies I got! Oh my. It's a never-ending task to ward off the evil goodies :)

Goodbye

2011-07-29T10:54:00.000+08:00

It's sad to leave a company that I really love after nearly a year. Thinking about the time when I received the call to offer me the position, I was super happy and really couldn't believe my ears that my dream came true. 10 months later and many lessons learnt, I did not regret ever being in such a wonderful company and am very thankful for all the knowledge I've gained and friendships forged. :)

Here's to the closing of one chapter and start of another! :)

The little constant memories

2011-07-18T21:09:00.000+08:00

There are moments in life that delight you constantly, always the same settings and the same people, just at different times.

I just experienced one of these times, sitting in siew's dad's car. Since jc days when we head out for dinner and shopping, he will always pick us up wherever we are and send us home.

In the car, the cat and I will chat about things in general, hum to the familiar 933 songs and try to guess the titles, talk about guys (mostly), drink bubble tea / munch on food we dabao-ed along the way.

These are little pleasures that we often experience and very self-healing too in it's own ways. Of course the scenario changes all the time, from being in the same school to different universities to different jobs etc. It's good to know that some things don't change and I never will want them to :)

Ramen contest @ illumna

2011-07-16T19:42:00.000+08:00

Just remember when you have tough decisions to make, there are people who will believe in you and support you. :)

8 treasures of Xiao Long Bao

2011-06-12T14:42:00.000+08:00

$7.90 for a basket of 8 flavored xlb, a superb marketing gimmick (lamented by the boyfriend) all thanks to groupon!

Nonetheless we all fell for it happily and let me do a roll call:

Top then right clockwise: crap i forgot the first one. Next Sze Chuan, cheesy, original, foie gras, ginseng, garlic, black truffle.

Would say apart from the original, cheesy and black truffle is the nicest :)

Love of suede OPI nail polish and ramen!

2011-06-05T03:04:00.000+08:00

Guess which hand is mine? Haha. It's an awesome girls day out with some pampering involved! :) btw ramen at ippudo @ mandarin gallery is yummieh! $17 for house special ramen with one egg :D

2011-06-04T17:33:00.000+08:00

I love movie-shopping-dining-snacking outings! Thanks miss STM for ur superb photographic skills!

And it's hell on earth again

2011-06-01T22:39:00.000+08:00

If it's due to a natural disaster, I can blame luck or fate.

Now that we brought it upon ourselves, I cannot bear but to wonder why we are so worthless in your eyes.

You got to take care of your employees before they can care for your passengers.

Free trip to Sentosa!

2011-05-30T17:41:00.000+08:00

The boyfriend and I went to Sentosa courtesy of free tickets given by my co. :) we went to watch 4D magix (pirates), cineblast (extreme log) and played desperados! I like pirates and the log thingy which is a simulator ride for roller coasters. Nothing beats the real one I would say. But it's better for the faint-hearted :)

Nightfall, and we had a great time riding Segway. It was scary i tell you. I almost fell a few times haha. Thereafter we went up the sky tower for a nice view of the island, then onto the beach for songs of the sea. All free! :D

Pissed

2011-05-05T17:56:00.000+08:00

Just how many unreasonable people are there in this world?!

I swear this job is turning me into a monster.

Will you give me warm and loving home?

2011-04-29T18:09:00.000+08:00

Hi I am kitty. I'm still very young and can't walk properly. But I promise to love you to bits and wait for you to come home every evening. I just need food, shelter and loads of love and cuddles. Will you take me in as a family?

Still a great way to fly

2011-04-27T17:52:00.000+08:00

I once thought working for the best company ever would cover all other less satisfactory aspects.

Maybe I was right, but I guess I'll never find out unless I actually test it out.

I will really miss everything here.

Staff who thinks they are almighty in the company

2011-04-27T07:48:00.000+08:00

Staff who has been with the company for a long time and acting really arrogant should really reconsider their attitude and behavior.

It does not mean that serving a long time in the company gives you rights to order people around irrationally. With a core value of providing excellent service to customers, I believe they have to understand that internal customers matter too.

This is reflected in not only once, but at least three occasions which just made me come to the conclusion of how pampered they are by the company and something really should be done about it.

Then again, why do I care.

Angry birds bento

2011-04-18T08:01:00.001+08:00

I would have had a hard time deciding which to eat first.

Here's to friendship and more :)

Happy birthday ah vis!

Pain be away

2011-04-07T07:34:00.000+08:00

Kind of regretted going for the wisdom tooth extraction as it caused me so much misery :( now my gums and throat are infected with some weird lumps and ulcer-looking thingys. Yikes

I got punched

All new Kate spade perfume - twirl! :) it smells delicious! This is a sample actually. The nice lady at departure hall gave it to me for free when I purchased some stuff haha. Perks!

Pretty nails! Love French manicures

2011-03-25T15:40:00.000+08:00

Just did my nails at aunt's beauty salon! :) it's French manicure with a streak of silver glitter :) chio! Price should be $23 but tell me if you are interested, I can get a discount for ya!

It's a full manicure btw, with cutting your cuticles (mine is so neat and clean now), filing, polishing, even with a touch of vitamin oil after everything!

Looking at my nails makes me happier - very vain, I know.

Very very sick

2011-03-24T17:43:00.000+08:00

I'm very sick of chasing the private bus every evening, getting the looks from the aunties on bus.

I'm very sick of not being able to get on the bus.

I'm very sick of taking the blame on a daily basis for errors not made by me.

I'm very sick of having to work from home every night.

I'm very sick of stepping on time bombs just waiting to explode.

I'm very sick of not being able to stay back as I need to take my bus. Or if I stay back I have to take a 1.5 hrs journey back.

Guess it boiled down to me making the wrong decision in the first place.

So glad I took a day's leave tomorrow.

Doesn't mean I don't have work to do still.

Sam's pet

It is sad to see one of us musketeers go. Thinking about the first day we met during the pre-employment briefing, finding out all three of us are in the same dept, looking out for each other, cracking jokes, going to changi v for lunch and feeling like it's not work at all. I've made a friend :)

We could all see how happy you are, and it is for the best. :) glad that we had so much fun during lunch and finding out what your pet on ur collar is like. Haha!

Thanks for all the company, my friend! :) we will definitely meet and reminiscence about crazy paxs. We'll miss you!!!
