Happy Birthday Pig

Thursday, 28th August 2008, after work, i went to celebrate birthday for one of my best friend....hmm....so after work i took a mrt to orchard rd..i must say thank God my working area is not near town or somewhere that i need to take mrt to work and take mrt back...i simply don't like to squeeze during those peak hour in the mrt. There are simply too many people....

After i reach orchard, we went to paragon for some spaghetti follow by coffee club for some coffee and mud pie... The mud pie portion were big but i must say the way they present it looks delicious...hmm i forgot to take a picture of it when they serve us but i do remember to take a photo when we finish...haha...


The unfinished mud pie...


Mud Pie with our finished coffee..

After coffee club, you won't believe it, we went to Mandarin hotel Chatterbox for some beer and juice...Chatterbox is on the 38th Storey of the building. So you can imagine how great and nice the scenery were. haha sorry didnt take photo either... but this is not the first time i went, this is the 2nd time...first time i went with zhen zhen, yanhua and meiyi after some shopping.

Reach home around twelve something, quite tiring haha ....but it was fun and enjoying to be able to catch up with old friend... :) happy birthday Pig...

Weekend

Last Saturday, after GB, Meiyi,Peiyun,Jasmine and I went for our lunch at Jurong Point Kopitiam. After our lunch, we decided to go my house to have dinner and to play Payday cause I have promised Meiyi that i will cook for her a home cooked dinner after her exam for the hardwork she have put in her exam.

So we went to seng siong to buy all the ingredient needed... she says that she wants to eat stirred fried chicken wing, fried omelette, Fish Soup and green veg with oyster sauce... so i add on one more dishs sweet and sour prawn.

That makes it to 4 dishes and 1 soup.. hai wanted to take a picture of the food that i have cook, but Meiyi say don't waste time, eat first...chey... but honestly is because she mess up my green veg with oyster sauce... hmm.. now i can only download from internet.. the most similar pic to what i cook, but i think mine still look better then all this pictures.. haha... so you all just make do with it ba...

Money Not Enough 2

Yesterday during work, suddenly got the urge to watch movie.. so after work, I went to Jurong Point to meet edison. We agreed to watch Money not Enough 2....

Haha before Marriage we use to watch 1 show every two week, but after married for one year plus we only went to see twice and this is my 2nd show with him, first one is 881.. haha...

Hmm... as usual i will reach first la.... cause near my office mah.. so i went to get the tickets and i wait for him at the food court.

Hmm....wait and wait... 5 min, 10 min, 15min, 20min.. i guess i wait about 20min ba before he came... so after he reach, i went to order fish and chip and chicken cutlet.. hmm... long time didnt ate westen food le...kind of miss but it does not really taste that good.

So our show is 7pm, edison bought some nachos and coke and we went in.. sitting behind us is 3 malaysian, they were talking quite loudly at first..

The commercial is very long lo... faint.. waited for at least 20 -25 minutes before it starts.

The show is good... really reflect singaporean... and it also show how noble a mum can be and it really reflect that how children will abandon their parent once they are sick or old.. a tragic..i feel sad for the mum in the show... i cried and cried.. hai....sian...everytime watch this kind of show tears cant really control well...today wake up eyes abit swollen... -____-"

My Tiring Weekend....

19th August 2008, time is 1335hrs now. Just finish my lunch not long ago... feel so full now.. hmm.... let me update my last weekend.

On friday, with my colleague sitting next to me, i drove from jurong to Tagore Lane and then to Ang Mo Kio. It was a long journey to me. First time without my driving instructor beside me i had to drove for so long.


This is the lorry i drove around.

Hmm.. driving this lorry is far more more difficult compare to drive a car. First it is manual and the gear part, its abit harder to control. Got to use alot of strenght.

Anyway i am still very happy that i can be on road now. :)

Sat 16th August 08, went with Michelle, Jasmine, Meiya to HQ early in the morning for lead like jesus course.


The Course that we got to attend 2 days

Hmm...the start off was not too bad..When i enter the class room, the table was arrange into 5 groups with blue and green table cloth on it.

Fresh flowers were arrange on each table with a Lead like Jesus workbook, a pen, a journal and a star were laid neatly on the table welcoming us to the course.


the workbook given to us. a real thick one.

A fresh start. Breakfast was provided. It was tasty. Bee thai bak with eggs.. It was yummy. Tea, coffee and milo was provided too. Everything was being well taken care off to make sure we enjoy the course.

Hmm...the course starts off at 9am with some introduction and funny slides. But i find the course abit dry for me. I didnt really enjoy that much even though alot of people says it good.

Finally at about 5 oclock, the course finally end, but is to be continue on the next day 9am - 5:30pm.. faint..

After the course, edison came and fetch me together with his grandparent in the car. We were suppose to go to his sister house. Before that we got to pick up his parent. Tabao dinner up her house to eat. alot of variety for dinner, yong tau hu, satay, hor fun, fried rice, otak, fried oyster. hmm it was nice. then after dinner was the long awaiting mahjong session that his grandparent are waiting. Thats why his grandparents were there.. They love mahjong.

My father in law and brother in law play with the two elderly and the youngsters, his sister, me, edison and his younger brother stays in the living room to play the game Pay Day. It was fun although they did spend quite sometime to read the instruction.


Pay Day Board Game

You can't imagin the mahjong session ends at 3.30am. Then we send his grandparent back to queenstown and then we went back to pasir ris. We reach pasir ris at aobut 4:10am. Since i am going to HQ the next day so i already plan to stay over at pasir ris edison home. So after i bath, it was already 4:30am. Then pack a few things wait for edison.. only manage to sleep at 5am. Faint.

Sleep till 8am the next day. Can you imagin only 3 hours of sleep and i got to attend the class till 5:30 that day. Imagin how tired can i be..When we will ask to do some personal prayer, I told myself to concentrate and pray, but when i pray half way, my mind was drifting away and i am praying for funny things. Faint.

After the course end...finally, edison fetch me to his house and he proceed to fetch his parent from ikea. I can't slept even though i am very tired. Then my korean friend call me out for dinner and i agree. We meet at tampines for sakae. I must say the food was real bad, not fresh at all. very disappointing, then we went on for a drink at one of the pub. My friend drank 4 bottle of heniken and i drank 2. At about ten plus, we went home. I reach home about 11 plus.. what a tiring day and monday got to work..faint my weekend just passed like that.

Yes!! i made it...

Hello everybody...yes!!! thank you for all your prayer...i passed my driving test after the 3rd attempt :)
