Moving Up?

Image
Guess Who!? Swiped from mousleyka . During my stupid weekly status meeting with my Fatty Boss ( aka PuiZ ), he threw his weight around again ( definitely not a problem for him ). Questioning about delays and lack of progress ( with the exception of the ad hoc stuff he asked us to do-- as if that wasn't enough a distrubance ). And so, he displayed his enlightened leadership again by appointing me Project Manager of the non-existent project. Well, it was HIS job to begin with. So now, he can be an imaginary Project Director. If you can't get to the position in real life, you can consider using this role-playing method for your own simulated hegemony. In a nutshell, I'm the slave driver and also the slave. I'm the bullock and also the farmer holding the whip. I'm riding myself. Such a mystery right? You want things to get done, but you think that they happen from cheap talk and require no time. Snap out of it. Get real.

Celebration #3

Goon Wah Restaurant, Kuchai Lama Swiped from lee wye jon . The 3rd celebration for my birthday took place at SK's place on my birthday. Having 2 days of replacement leave, she volunteered to prepare a nice steamboat dinner for me. On Thursday, she went out to the market to get the fresh meat, vegetables and seafood. A magnificent spread it was with fish, cuttlefish, squid, pacific clams, abalone , chicken ( do ask SK what happened at the market ), lala , mushrooms, leafy greens, fishballs, meatballs, beancurd, prawns and etc. The stock was made with chicken, pork and eau de ormeau . It was basically a family affair with Peng, her housemate ( + BF ) and my Mei , KT ( + BF ). On Friday ( my birthday! ), I took a day of annual leave ( 9 more days to clear ). Brought mum out to cut her hair, then together with SK and Cyan we went to Restoran Goon Wah , Kuchai Lama for some XO Fish Head Noodle. It's Teochew style with beancurd and yam in a claypot. Also do try their loh sh

IKEA

IKEA Swiped from williamnyk . Last Sunday, SK and I endured a half an hour crawl on the LDP ( cause the idiots closed on lane at the TTDI intersection ) to get to IKEA. And you wanna know why we were there? Cause my mum wanted to buy a clock. But it wasn't a wasted trip. We came out with 2 clocks and 2 towels. And I noticed that IKEA likes to hire cute college boys as their cashiers. Twinky Cashier: Sir, would you like a plastic bag? Moi: (..............................) Huh? Oh. No. Yummy! And can anyone tell me what a sprung mattress is? A secondhand spring mattress perhaps? :P.

Schwarszkopf

Schwarszkopf Swiped from williamnyk . Looks like reading Mens Health has paid off for me. Not that I have a six-pack now. No higher energy level. My relationship with my boss isn't better. I DEFINITELY did not get more luck with the ladies. None of that. But I got a Schwarszkopf hamper from them!!! Hehe. I wrote them an e-mail in response to their swimming article ( Swim For Your Life ) in the August issue and it got into the Tell Mens Health Segment !!! Hehe. The hamper contains a bottle of shampoo, conditioner and some strong styling paste. Thank you Blu Inc for the "birthday present" and SK and KT for collecting it for me.

Say It With A Card

Greeting Card With Paper Lace Swiped from sugarpinkrose . It's always fun receiving a greeting card. Even more fun if it had gone through the screwy logistics of Pos Malaysia and ends up in your postbox. Never threw a single card away ( except for those from insurance agents! ), stashed all of 'em in my drawer. Going through the cards really brings back memories-- birthdays; thank you's; condolences; thinking of you's; graduation; valentines; Then I thought about those that KH gave me. I couldn't find 'em!! Panic! After doing some rummaging, I finally found them under my boxes of unopened undies. Hehe. Forgotten that I had changed the location after doing some reorg. I wonder if I should tie them in a stack with a ribbon and put it an old chocolate tin like in the movies. Hehe. After doing some statistics, the bulk of my cards are actually from SK! And all of 'em are pretty and unique. Here's a little sneak peek into my chocolate tin of memories

Pappa Don't Prich

Sigg Swiped from williamnyk . Ten colleagues ( from 3 different project sites ) and one ex-colleague teamed up to get me a birthday present. In exchange, they wanted me to treat them to a birthday dinner. This is quite a break from our usual tradition of treating the birthday boy or girl to lunch or dinner, sans the present. But hey, a change is good. And so, a date and venue was decided upon. We ended up in PappaRich , 3 1/2 Mile Square, 5 days before my actual birthday. The place was quite cozy, and had a better interior than Old Town. The food is also better and more diverse, but I must say that the drinks menu is really memeningkan . Tried their chicken hor fun -- it was pretty good, and had a good portion of steamed chicken, but I still prefer the soup from Old Town. It was a pretty subdued affair at first, but when the camera came out, we started bringing the house down. Goofy laugther and stupid jokes... enough to bring your eyes rolling. When everyone had eaten, it wa
