Crazy Bunch of KTV People

No matter how many times i watch this clip i just cannot stop laughing.

Collin has no emotions but lucky he is not in the camera often.

Janet and Jacq is like "Xiao Po" and CJ just feel like bashing him up.

And me, totally out of place. If this video is muted, it seems i am singing a church song or something angelic. Nothing high. Probably too "stone" to do anything except to sway side to side.

I loved my KTV Kakis!!

September Birthday and Events

This year birthday is like a rush.

So many people i know have birthday around this time and so many pressie to get and received.

Janice birthday just past and we had chalet and bbq. I missed bbq. Wanna have another one. The team was actually planning to organise a chalet and bbq but seems like there is some timing issues.

Rach's daughter, Rae, just celebrated her 3 years old bday and her younger brother, Yang, celebrated his 1 month. Luckily, the second visit was unlike the first time, soo many kids running around. We keep saying that Rach can open a nusery at her place.

Claire and my bday is on the same day so we had to wish each other happy bday and exchange our pressie. Went to "Xin Wang" for dinner (more like supper) and lucky for me i took the day off the next day.

Roses and chocolates from Stevie (much nicer than the previous one). Stop buying from this flower shop. So expensive. Bag from my sis which she bought online. Even though it is handmade and suppose to be unique still considered expensive. Hope she did not get hooked to online shopping. Watch from Jacq and Janice. I loved it!!!

Weights from the gals and not forgetting 1 guy. Inspired by my weird praying exercise, they decided to get me weights.

Still got people owing me pressie and dinners. U know who u are. But i shall be patient. Wait till you guys meet me i will definitely ask for an expensive treat. First will definitely be my best friend who was too busy to meet me but i shall 手下留情 because of your shift work. The rest be prepared to see a hole in your wallets.

Then last event of the month is Janet leaving for Zurich for 6 months. She will be leaving tonight. Jacq didn't want to send her off cos the last time we send our friends off just for holiday only, the feeling being left behind is sooo unbearable. We had dinner and KTV session on friday. So sad. Our KTV queen is gone for so long. KTV will not be the same again. Well, we sing to our hearts content till 6am the next day before we are willing to leave. Will post the crazy video that was taken the next time. Hope 6 months will pass soon and we save enough money to go visit.

Mooncakes

Every mooncake festival, the only think that made me excited is the candles and lanterns.

When we were young, we used to go down to the playground and light the place with candles. We will play until there is no more candle left and will extinguish the fire with sand. Nice lanterns is also a must and each time we will plead our parents to buy the nice lanterns for us to carry. As we grow older, we no longer carry lanterns and the playground are now no longer like what we used to have (those with sand). Somehow it seems less fun and looks quite cold. I remember digging my feet into the warm sand and jumping from the top of the slide to the cushion sand.

Can't remember anything about mooncakes cos i was never a fan. Don't really like lotus paste. But this year, i bought 2 brands of mooncakes. Went to the mooncake fair with Jacq and Janice and cannot help but soak in the atmosphere. There are so many to choose from and i try not to buy mooncakes with too much lotus paste.



Mooncakes from Marc & Leonard. The lady at the counter was very kind. Offering us all the flavours to try so that we can decide which one to buy. In the end, i bought the rum, peanut, custard and chanpagne flavour. Loved the rum and the champagne.

Mooncake from Marriot. Somehow the mooncake taste a bit different from the samples i had. The mooncakes that i bought is the chocolate and the strawberry yogurt. Actually the strawberry yogurt taste nothing like mooncake but i guess that is why i like it. A bit sour and taste like ice-cream.

I didn't get a chance to taste the mooncake that my sis bought from Tung Lok. Some greedy person in the family eat all i think within a week!!! Well next year i'm going to get some from home bakery. Had some samples and it is quite nice but i already bought sooo many.

Stevie leaving again

Stevie was back over the weekend again.

He is coming back so often it seems as if he is not even working overseas.

But still every time he leaves, i will get so upset.

Sometimes i wonder whether i rather him not coming back so often and making me feel so emotional each time he leaves but then again if he doesn't come back i won't get to see him. Contradictions.......

He came back last Friday and was suppose to go back on Monday. Well, the good thing is he mixed up the timing of his flight and missed his flight back. I was soo bad, i couldn't be happier.

Seeing him swearing over the silly mistake and cursing for having to pay additional for the flight back, i don't even feel the slightest frustration he is feeling and not able to emphatise with him. Despite have a small argument with him earlier in the morning, i was grinning from cheek to cheek after he announced he missed his flight back. Somehow, i don't feel as sad the next day he left maybe because i have already "earned" an extra day with him.

Maybe next time i should just pretend he is leaving a day before then i will be more prepared.

Volunteer

Today is my first day volunteering at riding for the disabled.

When it first get introduced a few years ago, i wanted to sign up. The programme do not need long time commitment (only 10 weeks with rotations), get to do some voluntary work plus i really like horses so the programme is very attractive.

However, i only sign up for the programme now. Main reason being, previously we have to arrange the rotation and make sure at least 2 person from the team turn up each week. It won't be a problem if everyone stick to the schedule that was planned. But there is always some big shots who thinks they are busier, their time is more precious and will always change their schedule esp last min. This is such a nuisance. People who are sincere in doing volunteering should not even be reminded. If they cannot stick to the timing they should not even volunteer and create more inconvenience. By not volunteering they are already helping. I do not want to be upset over such things when i am actually doing something good. It just makes the whole experience a nightmare rather than a pleasant one.

Well, this time my team is all in the same department as me. Coordination is much simpler and less of a headache. At least i know i will have a great time.

I was assigned to 2 autistic children. As most volunteers are Caucasians, being the minority Chinese there, the children seems to cling to me more. They are all very well-behaved and really enjoyed the horse-riding. Frankly, it is quite tiring. I cannot remember how many times i walk round the arena. It was quite a good 2 hrs workout. Cannot imagine in the next few lesson the horses will have to start trotting and we have to run together with it to ensure the safety of the children. Hopefully, i will have stamina to catch up.

Cannot wait till the next rotation to see the children and the horses.

Crazy Massive Major Shopping Therapy to KILL ANGST

Working life had been easy in terms of work load, but as always there are some idiots around in the company. This makes me come to a conclusion that the work load in our company is soo light that people are so bored and they started to find their 'own challenges' - that is to MAKE THE LIFE HELL OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE.

Incompetent is such an understatement of here.

I am not being critical of others' work. But recent evidences seems totally contravene of my expectation of a listed MNC is a profilic stock exchange. sigh.

The boiling point comes 2 weeks ago and it's so nice that a new shopping centre just opened. And guess what kekeke. My wife is so going to kill me even though she knows about it in advance. She is as always so supportive of me when i am in angst/'depression'/disbelief.

Love you, serene :) Looking forward to flip my calendar for 11 more times to come back Singapore permanently.
