For the Last 4 days of the weeks was really restless
that apply to everyone in office, all half hearted &
quite zombied.
So for
Thursday, I was dozing off at my office desk
i was damn shag out with the lack of sleep. And i
been figuring how am i going to school in school.
So i decided to Skip school as its a lecture, which
not as important.
Skipped school! and i ended up at bball court,
oops! can't resist the temptation for Bball, Sleep
is for the weak!(i going to regret it tml.) So went
over and play some game, had a very good team.
But we lost a few round due to me and the younger
guy dun perform as what we usual are. Mmm
maybe i really too shag out.!
 |
| WeFie while waiting for our turn |
 |
| 4 of us. Kinda gay~ Yes i know! |
So ended my Thrusday. And back home i didn't sleep
early was looking at some school stuff which is going
to due soon. Damn so tired with school Damn can't
be bothered attitude liao.
So for Friday, Great waked up with a veryyyy sleepy
head. Dragged myself out of home and texted my
boss hoping she reply. And she did, i decided to take
my Birthday leave and rest for the day. So i walked
back home and Sleep some more Damn Shoik, Cos its
not MC its a Birthday Leave.!
 |
| Yup!! I totally do that |
Wake up in the afternoon, Nua ed at home and off
i go to meet Jw Min Don Jh and Andrew for some
good fried chicken dinner!! Chir CHir Chicken!!
Tried all different chicken this time, Not bad~~!
 |
| Went Bedok outlet for it this time |
 |
| This was actually not bad. the Sauce is damn good |
 |
| Fried Chicken, not very special though |
 |
No idea whats this call, But this is damn
good, spicy and tasty! |
After our meal, we have a headache where to head
again as usual, We ended up to Cash studio at
princess to sing K for 3 hours, didn't took any pic
of there. Its was a damn unpleasant experience,
room was dirty and found xiao qiang at it, toilet
was damn back too! If i had a choice i will rather
go to Teo heng.
But nevermind that, i still enjoyed the session and
sing alot of songs. Jw and Andrew was really K ge
wang, their voice was good and sang very well. I
just wish i am have half the talent of them.
After today! This pic totally speaks about me.
 |
| Damnnnnnnnnnnnn~ Motivate me Please!!! |
So that's end my Friday.
For my Saturday, I waked up at the afternoon and
i am very determine to go Comex IT Show at suntec.
The purpose of me going IT Show was not to buy
any gadget, is purely go there sign ANZ optimum
credit card. I have read up on it and find this card
will be the best Mastercard around, much better than
my SCB Manhattan card.
 |
| The Cashback was great as good as amex or even better |
It turn out to be the best cashback card for now.
Amex have many restriction and only the first 3
month was awesome. After that it will still be
use for my CC that pay School fees. But ANZ
will be my daily use card soon.
Went over suntec around for lunch, manage to
find cheap lunch at esplande MRT de foodcourt
get my mix veg rice for 3.5 Cheap for town food.
Went over to squeeze the crowd and take a look,
What are they offering, grabbed my sim adapter
for $2. Now i no need to lend from colleague liao.
Met with my brother and dasao as they are here
to sign the ANZ CC too LOL. So all of us crowded
the booth, grabbed a free power bank from them
and i signed citibank account too, to get a shoebag
and a luggage.
 |
| Dasao buying his tablet! |
Dasao brought a new tablet, she the only person
that buy big item among us. huat ar~
After that we went out and decided to go for a
movie. Watching a cantoon, Inside out. So while
waiting for movie we had our dinner at 18th chef
Tried their salted Egg pasta, as i was hunting
round SG for salted Egg pasta.
 |
| Quite disappointed!! |
Not very nice, i guess salted egg pasta is suppose
not to be nice, The best i had was from 5 & dime
still. Going to give up hunting for Salted egg
pasta liao. So after that watched the movie.
 |
| Turn out to be quite good! |
It was actually a nice movie, a show of emotion.
Disney never fail to amaze us with its movie.
After that went home and went out again to get
myself into some shit storm. But its ok, nothing
much to do with me. I just listen and help analysis
what's happening. Choices are yours, but once
chosen do not regret. Something dun have second
chances. Well Ganbatte pple!.
Thats all for Sat!! tml will be a day i go National
Library for the first time!!! Study study

Alright i am back from my company ASF,
Annual Staff Function, and i have lots of things
to share. Its was a short week for me, so starting
from
Monday.
 |
| A Cute face to fight off the Monday Blues |
Things are getting more busy in office with the
upcoming POC and lots of testing, planning are
been discuss and going to execute in the next
few months.
In the afternoon, went off with boss to city hall
while she have lunch with other bosses i didn't join
them as i know its going to cost me a bomb. So i
detach with them and head for my own lunch at
food court. The place was damn crowded at raffles
city chopping mall. Finally i got a seat and ordered
my food, its kinda a weird as my 6 seater table is
sitting with 5 different person where we all are
stranger to each other LOL. Weirddddd~
 |
| They have renovated the food court |
Ordered something similar to salted egg chicken.
 |
| This meal is not cheapppppp! |
I can't image how i can survive in town around if i
am working here. This meal above cost me 10$, its
taste quite good though but every meal 10 dollar is
abit too exp lol After that went over to bedok for
our testing, i followed my boss is just because i can
take free cab around =) LOL lazy to take bus on my
own, wasting everyones time lol.
So for
Tuesday is the Start of our ASF, Its my first
time joining staff function since i in Singtel, i always
siam this event as i got school or something on. And
since i become perm i try not to be that low profile
anymore. Need to PR abit with others. So the Morning
starts very early at 645. The meeting point was at
comm centre, left home at 6 but took a cab instead as
i wanted to shit badly lol
Reached and done our head count and off we go
to the tuas custom!
 |
| Don't really like bus rides though |
When reached to the custom, my roommate realize
that he bring the wrong passport over. he bring his
daughter passport instead!! Qin Tian Pi Li !!! so
with no much of a option he have to leave and go
home. And for me i going to be sleeping alone.
So we carry on the journey and we are offered
breakfast onboard, and its nasi lemak,
 |
| Blurrrrr shot |
Was struggling to eat the food as i more afraid if i
need to shit half way through the journey, i am
always quite a shitter, always go shit de. But i ate
it anyway, dun waste food.
So once finish i go to sleep, Sound like pig, i know
but no choice better than i have motion sickness.
So after 3 hrs we reached Malacca area, and for
the first time we have police escort to bring us in
to Malacca, we have 12 bus total of 500+ pple.
So we convey with police in. HOW COOL IS THAT
 |
| Police at every junction we made |
 |
| The Lead police car |
Oh and didn't mention our bus was the first bus
of the convey lol So we get to see the police
first hand. kinda kua zhang though but it felt great.
After much traveling with afew turn we are reaching
to the area where we staying. As we are a huge group
we are split to 2 different hotel, Ramada and swiss
garden hotel, but the event will be held at swiss.
 |
| Swiss Garden Hotel |
 |
| My Hotel Ramada Hotel. |
For the hotel, Swiss Garden hotel looks newer but
i think ramada hotel was quite a good hotel too. So
we left our bag and process to lunch. We are not able
to check in until further notice.
 |
| Buffet lunch venue |
 |
| This is the best of all, Fruit tart! |
Lunch was not very awesome, but its not too bad
too. Fruit tart was good, but the main dishes are
quite normal. So after lunch we been brief for our
activities which split between indoor or outdoor.
I choose the outdoor and its going to Jonker street
to do some simple task and eat the local food.
So the task was basically eat and wefie and eat!
 |
| Some famous pineapple tart shop, i guess |
 |
| This is my favorite, Durian puff!! |
 |
| No idea what the hell it is. But just pose! |
 |
| Famous San Su Gong, lots of shopping inside |
 |
| Final stop, eat chedol!! |
 |
| Durain chedol, not very awesome though lol |
Thats the end of our short activities, grabbed some
goodies for my family and off we go back to hotel
and we are very excited to see our hotel room!
 |
| A nice room!! And its quite big |
As i though i going to be sleeping alone, someone
pressed the door bell, and told me he is going to
share room with me as his roommate have some
other reason that can't go for this trip. Well make
no different to me. So we become one night
partner LOL sound abit wrong though. But yeah.
Changed and prepare myself for the ASF dinner
which is at de other hotel. Took the shutter bus
and went over to the event slightly earlier to take
some photo and also chop seats.
 |
| The 2 bosses that i stick with throughout the trip |
 |
| I am actually the only Junior officer there LOL |
So we choing in and chopped our seat, now i
understand. Why they say need to choing and chop
seats cos if we don't we will be split and seated alone.
 |
| Waiting for dinner to be serve |
So for this dinner i been very uneasy as i found out
that my project won 1 of the network excellence
award but i been asking around no Senior office
(boss level) is around. I look around only 4 of us
is on batch 1, chances of me speaking on stage will
be very very very HIGH. So i quite uncomfortable
and trying to remain calm.
The Dinner started really quite late so we go time
to check out our pic that we took earlier on.
 |
| Not bad! |
And so the Dinner starts and many program, games
& lucky draw went on, Ofcos our dinner was served.
The food was so so, i wasn't having much appetite
as i am worried of what will happen later.
 |
| 1 of the program, Senior management all disguise to PCK. LOL |
And so the much waited network excellence award
ceremony was starting. I still remember its was our
Prawn dish and i don't even wan to eat the prawn.
So it started with merit award, and those who won
the award just take the prize and took a pic and go.
So i was quite relieved, suddenly got mood to eat
my prawn. Then after that Bronze award, the MC
announced, "From bronze award onward, all project
group have to say something on their project or
give a short speech." Instant thunderstorm for me.!
So i put down my fork and awaits for my project
to be call. Wait quite awhile and finally Sliver
award we are called. Woot happy for us to get
a Silver for this. So i walked up confidently(trying)
 |
| And i lead and gave a speech on it. Impromtu liao! |
The speech was not long, but i feel the pressure
of 500+ pairs of eye looking at us. and my team
member keep repeating saying. "i dunwan to
speak i dun wan to speak i dunwan to speak".
Came down and my table was clapping for me saying
i did a good job. Was a good speech, well not quite
sure is it real or not, cos my mind was kinda blank!.
So after the award, i was relieved the huge stone
finally left my heart. I carry on with my dinner.
MC carry on award to other teams, and they go on
award best presenter award for the presentation we
made during the judging time at july. To my amaze,
my Face appeared on the screen, i am 1 of the 2
person that get this award, and i am the only
Associate Engineer. Totally BLANK i walked up
again to collect my award, Thanked my GCTO
Group chief Technical Officer. and walk down.
 |
| First solo award in Singtel |
Totally unexpected, even GCTO asked me am i
expecting this. I replied him i totally in shock,
thanks for the award. Thanks everyone for the
presentation and the hard work.
So with that high note we ended our ASF, didn't
won any lucky draw, but this award was a very
good prize for me already. The best dish was served.
 |
| Coconut Jelly |
So that night we all went out to party, found
a pub nearby our hotel and start some game
and drink some beer. It seem like they are
quite light drinker. Didn't order alot 2 tower
for 8 of us. Played a card bluff game, and
get to know more of each other character LOL.
 |
| 8 of us |
So eneded the night around 2 am, reached hotel
and shower was already 3am. was dead tired.
We have to wake at 7am in the next morning.
So for Wednesday, its was a very early morning
as we need to wake at 7. Decided to skip hotel
breakfast to go for wonton mee. So as every one
gathered we was told the whole street was closed
LOL so we guai guai eat back our buffet breakfast
at hotel. After that was a very long session of
workshop where upper management talk ALOT
of things. Mainly a update on Singtel in all the dept.
Dozed off, but i am not alone. Almost all dozed off,
what do you expect? after a breakfast straight away
a long workshop lol. And i have a colleague even
more power slept through the first half of workshop
AT HIS ROOM. he the 1 of the only pple that nv
check out yet. He can't wake in the morning, really
power ar him!! lol, went up with his room mate to
wake him up. Lucky he manage to join at the later
part of the workshop.
After workshop was lunch, at nyoya restaurant,
we went to ole sayang, which is the same restaurant
that i went with my parent.
 |
| Last chedol before going off. |
And off we go, back on bus onwards to home!
After 4 hr ride, we finally reached custom!
 |
| On causeway |
Get our passport chopped and off we go. Its was a
great trip for me and also i can never image some
of my old colleague are actually VERY LAME.
1 of the e.g.
LAME A: Wah jialat liao lor
Random B: Whats "Jialat"
LAME A: oh you know mahjong, you eat six then
throw the seven.
LAME A: Laughing to himself
Me and my another colleague stun for a moment
as we process whats the joke about. Until we realize
we say to each other wah SIBEI LAME!!~
For me the day didn't end, I dropped at Science
centre and walked to Jurong east MRT, trained
all the way to kent ridge! YES school straight
after my trip oh GOD!. Sibei high!.
That's all for my Wednesday!

Update for the Week.
Enjoyed the week and i stopped at wednesday.
So i shall carry on for my daily updates. As for
Thursday, had breakfast with mum, as i am totally
sick with Oats for breakfast. Went to kovan with
mum and get myself this.
 |
| BCM, This is goood~ |
Had a good breakfast rushes back to office to clear
some stuff before heading off to On site at OC
again to finish up the test. The test was really long
it took up whole day to do it. Was treat by vendor
Vietnamese coffee, those drip kind.
 |
| Not bad, but i think my coffee machine is still better |
Rushes off from site to School for my Programming
Lecture. While traveling down i look at stock to
see how did the market do today. And i saw this.
 |
| Green Every where!! |
Well its good news but no one is certain that the
storm has passes. Another Tornado might just
hit us off guard. So i reached school and i learn
my lesson yesterday i choose to buy Mc Wrap
rather than subway. McWrap $4 Vs Subway $3.9
I choose McWrap for the less waiting time.
 |
| As usual top right corner! |
That end my Thursday, didn't have the strength to do
anything and Ko-ed.
For
Friday, It was a day with lots of meeting and
going to ION to do testing. That was the plan, so
all the went according to the plan but the testing at
ION was cancel as there no need for us to go over.
So me and my boss when paktor and have Mak
Noodle at can't remember which mall.
 |
| This cost $11, Damn Exp |
As same as HK, the portion was terribly small. Its
basically a 3 mouthful size. and not even a few min
 |
| Finished!! the bowl was as big as my fist |
Its not my fist is big, its rather the bowl is VERY
SMALL. So i dun recommend any 1 to eat it.
After work, Met JQ to go some Shopping time. I
ended quite early so i waited her for quite awhile.
While i was waiting i had a very singaporean
dessert, initially wanted llao2 but i eaten it just
2 days ago. So i go for Ice Kachang.
 |
| Yum, The uncle nv give change on the jelly. |
Something cold and nice, Very local de dessert.
The Jelly was really alot!! Eating that while
watching my Toggle under my own Singtel WiFi.
Free data no need to worry on it, so glad i put
wifi in this area,
Went JQ reached, off we go to get our stuff. Get
something for the coming birthday boy. Hope he
will use it. Glad we both get something out of it.
Off i go back home for home cooked dinner which
i requested mum to cook. That's all for my friday!
Saturday, was a bball day. Head over to clementi
for our championship round. We have nothing to
lose,we gone this far to fight for the champion.
Our opponent was last year champion, and they
are really a very strong team. Through out the
matches they play. they won at least 2 digit than
the other team.
 |
| Our Team logo |
So we give it our all, and fought for it. We did
take a lead at first half, but their foundation and
skill come in to play at the second half. After a
long fight, we lost 51-56. Just 5 points, even
though we lost. Its was the best game we ever
play in this league. A challenging team that put
all of us to work double hard,
 |
| Second! It really weight quite heavy |
 |
| Our team with organizer |
 |
| My team |
I maybe the only Local over there, and they always
speaking in a foreign language. I still appreciate the
bonding with them, trying hard to gel well with the
team. I hardly score, i was quite inexperience with
playing full court. But i do well in Defense doing
some critical passing. To conclude, played 5 round
and i score only 7 points. Enjoyed the time with
you guys. Team STM, Huat ar~~~
Went back for some nap and out i go to meet Russel
over a dinner at Texas chicken, Wah quite exp for
2pc meal add on coleslaw cos me $10+. But the
onion ring was damn good. Had a good chat with
him and off i left for round 2 bball at punggol. Ran
to the court for last 50 min of game. Full court
again, but at here i play well. I dare to shot and do
all kind of scoring which i don't do at the match.
Enjoyed and go home with a aching body.
For Sunday, Nothing much happen. Sleep all the
way to 12+ FINALLY some much needed rest.
and went out for MJ session with Dewei kerry and
MZ. Though i already chopped hand, i wish to
check hows my luck. Lost Big chip again, but also
won two 5 tai zimo. Which make me no win no lose.
Guess i should carry on remain as my hand chopped.
Kinda bored of MJ already -_-
That's all for me, tml i will update my investment for
the month and also i am going Malacca for Tuesday &
Wednesday, Company Annual staff function, hope it
will be fun. Sept is going to be a month with lots of
break!. Please be good Sept!!!
