Largest OG outing ever (KFC, GOG, BOA)

Went out with KFC, GOG and BOA last Friday for a dinner gathering, was surprised by the number of people who came (30 plus people turn up), this got to be by far the most successful OG outing. Proceeded to Manhattan fish market@central for dinner and headed to Brewerks for drinks. Much time was wasted just to get enough seats to accommodate us. We had towers cold steam and golden alps beer and played finger guessing games that night, but luckily no one was drunk.



Kelly and Shiling will be leaving for their maritime exchange trip to Norway tomorrow. Take care girls! See ya soon on 1st Jan 2010.

Nautical theme parties

This entry is way overdued, but I thought I should still blog about them. I've attended 2 nautical theme parties recently beginning with Hwee Jun's on the 27th June at costa sands sentosa and Meimei's from 10th to 13th July at the aranda country club. Hwee Jun's party was a joint celebration with her sec school friend Zhi Xiu and since HweeJun's favourite colour is blue while Zhi Xiu favourite colour is white therefore they had a blue and white theme party. lol. I had to rush home that night right after the cake cutting session as I was leaving for Taiwan the very next day on a 8.35am flight. Even though we were the only few JC representative that attended HweeJun's party, it was fun catching up with them and with Reubens cracking up some lame jokes (Ba zhang). lol.





Next up is Mei's 21st party where we camped at aranda country club for 4 whole days helping out with the preparations, entertaining her guests, play mahjong, went wild wild wet and watched transformers. Mei was rather busy that actual party night, so we only managed to take a few pics with her. Boo. I seriously really can't stand the ugly and uneven tan lines on my arms and chest that I got from Taiwan, really look as though I'm wearing another top. Boo.

2 great movies

'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' and 'Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince' are definitely 2 most anticipated movie this year. Having watched the first transformers movie 2 years ago and I was totally impressed with the graphics, actions and special effects. No doubt there are several new additions to the movie, making the fighting scenes between the sworn enemies more exciting but too much of this actually made the movie confusing especially the final scene at Egypt, I couldn't really tell the Transformers from the Decepticons. The build up of the story was rather slow and draggy, causing it to be rather boring in the beginning. But the mind blowing action, heart warming love scene (between Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox) and occasional humors definitely made up for its weak plot. A movie worth watching, I'll give it 3/5.

Next up, would be my all time favourite movie the 6th addition to the Harry Potter series and I was one of the lucky few people who can catch it on its debut date 16th July. As usual the movie was slightly different from the novel, cant really expect the whole story to be told word for word in 154 mins right? On top of the usual magic fighting scenes, lots of romantic and hilarious scenes are added making the movie more interesting. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead with Draco Malfoy joining and carrying out orders of Lord Voldemort allowing the death eaters to enter Hogwarts. Draco cannot bring himself to kill the headmaster, even with the urging of fellow Death Eaters once they arrive. Snape (Half Blood Prince) arrives and kills Dumbledore, who was previously weakened after drinking the mysterious potion and battling Inferi during his pursue of the Horcrux. The scene when Dumbledore fell off the astronomy tower after being zapped by Snape's wand and the students and teachers gathering around Dumbledore's dead body with their lighted wand during his funeral was indeed the most saddening part of the entire movie. The ending was rather abrupt, but despite all that, this movie is a definite much watch 4/5.

PC show 11th-14th june

This is my second time working at the PC show, last year I was posted to sell hp laser printer together with my small sis. This time round fortunately, I was posted to lenovo together with kassyn. I was rather reluctant having to sell laptops and desktops initially as I know nothing much about IT products. But seems like I have managed to smoke through product introduction quite well, sales was surprisingly good, at least it was much better than what I have expected. Thank god for our strategic location and good promotions, we managed to emerge top sellers among the other resellers from harvey norman, courts etc. Had great fun working with all the part-timers, despite having to stand almost 12 hours daily (could hardly feel the existence of my little toe when I reach home) and talk really loudly non-stop.

Point to note : If you are planning to get some great deals from the IT fair, come only on the 3rd day (Saturday) afternoon, as prices are normally slashed and more freebies are thrown in. And on top of that, there are still sufficient stocks available and enough time for you to compare prices. Don't bother coming on the last day last hour thinking that you will get the best deal, as you might end up buying the display set without you even knowing.

1 day trip to JB

Went to JB with kratos for a short weekend getaway recently, getting there was a chore as travel conditions on sunday was terrible. We were caught in a ridiculously long jam for about an hour plus and we had to stand in the super packed sbs bus with people pluking in their plastic bags as the air con was barely cold and the bus was inching forward and stopping constantly. Upon arrival at the new customs, everyone hopped off the bus excitedly as we were all hungry and perspiring like crazy. As it was a short 1 day trip, we did not have much time to travel or explore JB. So we only went to city square shopping centre which is just beside the customs, had our lunch at secret receipe and proceed to shop around after that. The food at secret receipe was average, but their cheesecakes are v good and cheap. Our initial plan was to shop, sing kbox and probably catch a movie at JB and end our day with a nice spread of cheap and fresh seafood feast. But due to time constraint, we only did some brief shopping (manage to grab a pair of shoes and a t-shirt from F.O.S) and had seafood for dinner at da man hua yuan which requires approximately 10 mins to get there by cab. Getting back to singapore was much faster and comfortable without the traffic jam. Miss Ting loves travelling!!

Kratos and CL went to Bintan yesterday for a short relaxing trip and they'll only be back on tomorrow afternoon. BOOHOOHOO.
