Wardrobe Packing Adventure I

Had intended to pack the Wardrobe...
But I ended up with (=_=;;;) Oh well, I saw it coming...

But I threw out a lot of stuffs, which is a good sign.
Anyway, the greatest beneficiary of all time is Sis.

Some stuffs I discovered in the Abyss of my Wardrobe...

Yeah~ 新しいパジャマが見つかった~

The most expensive thing I've ever bought in Ikebukuro. 7000yen. Usually I only buy manga there...

Oh Crap! It's still here?! O_o?! My worse purchase ever =_=

Think I got it to match with some witch hat for some Halloween party at Hoshien or in school or something I can't remember...
Well, 700yen at Harajuku's Body Line...

Yeah !!! Found it !!! My fav jacket ~

Some other super surprising findings...

CSS Tie...

The ugly red NJ Tie...

Oh My Gosh !!! >.<

Kyaaa~

I just so love & hate packing my wardrobe...
You never know what to expect...

Kena Wacked...

Kena wacked during Kumite training today. Gyaaa...

Michelle misgauged the height for her 上段突き and punched me at the left eye & nose.

Guess she's never sparred with a shorter opponent before... Well, I wasn't really injured anyway.

Know what, aggressive opponents like Michelle still scare me quite a bit. I don't think I'm one.

Really love kumite even though it's scary & painful ~
こっちも頑張らなきゃ．．．

Dark Shadows

Watched Dark Shadows late night show with Buddy @ JCube.

The trailer looked promising and the movie started off well. But it's a shame that it soon lost it's momentum & coherence; quite stupid I'd say if I may...

Nevertheless, Johnny Depp's awesome acting will not fail his audiences. I was very much entertained by Depp's character, Barnabas, speaking in Early Modern English in 1970s America...

Guess my fav quote has got to be: You may strategically place your wonderful lips on my posterior and kiss it repeatedly!
(Read: Kiss my ass) ... (O_o''')

Fear Not

Today marks my 21^st day with Menloworldwide as a HR Business Partner

And I’ve been introduced to yet another challenge – The metrics records & reports.

Well, it was fun involved in company events, trainings & orientations…etc as soon as I joined my department ; the fast paced environment was pure excitement.

Meeting people from different corporate levels, from all walks of life has been interesting. I’ve met (briefly though) almost all the employees from the departments under my care and many are awesome people with great personalities.

But the onslaught of challenges soon overwhelmed me, making me feel “helpless and horrible”; at least that’s what I’m feeling at this current moment.

As I turned to the Lord during this lunch time QT, I am comforted.

Indeed, when we “pass through the waters… through the rivers…through the fire” (the challenges coming at me one after another), feeling “helpless & horrible”, we need to remember the Lord said, “Fear not … you are Mine”. Yes, “we were never alone”…

やっと手に入れた～

Hendra 先輩、買ってくれてありがとうございました！

Michelleちゃん、持ってくれてありがとうね～

反省します．．．

Confession :

19 ~ 20 May 2012 ...

Went out to party ...

Refused to go home

Ate & drank junk stuffs

Stayed overnight at a guy's place

Had a wild night; throughout the night

Missed church the next morning

Skipped choir practice

Tsk Tsk Tsk ... ... ...

.

Was chiong-ing Diablo III  ... Σ(´∀｀;;;)．．．

Haha~ Well ... Buddy's Bday party on Sat at his 2nd Sis place & I ended up overnight gaming D III with his eldest Sis.

After 7hrs battle - 20 May ; 1.30am

Me still at battle with Da Jie - 20 May ; 8pm

D III is a fun game, but I still prefer WarCraft III ...

Finally ~ New Phone ~

Finally!!! Managed to get Galaxy SII in Pink~

Stupid Singtel @ JP told me whole Singtel ran out of stock...

Since I was going for CE class today, I decided to try my luck at Singtel @ Raffles City...

お疲れさん～

Welcome~ ~ ~

Topped up $120 with 2 years contract of $59.90/ month.
Not too bad eh...

Jobless - Day 5: Final Before Labour Starts

It's Labour Day today.

Erm... I'm technically out of the labour force so...

Whatever lah, it's a holiday! SLACK! Yeah~ ~ ~

But no, I gotta babysit 2 big boys; one came over to learn to cook, the other came to be entertained by the one who's learning to cook...

But they got scolded by me first for being late. Tsk tsk... Made me wait for more than half an hour at JP...

Jonathan preparing Baked Pasta

Buddy harassing my Hubby

The boys eating their pasta & soup

Then 3 of us & my Sis went Karaoke @ Clementi
It was darn lame to watch Buddy & Jonathan sing -_-'''
Oh but we forgot to take pictures ! ! !

Then Jonathan Sng joined us for dinner @ Ichiban Clementi

Bday Present from Jonathan Sng

So sweet ! ! ! Can't resist it even though I hardly wear watches... Thanks Jonathan!

And thanks so much people~ It's a fun day before I start work tomorrow!

PS: My Hubby finally decided to behave... Buddy's harassing probably did work!

Jobless - Day 4

Well...Was slackin & rottin @ home until evening time,
I received a call for dinner date...

Dinner with Mr Goh @ IMM Secret Recipe

Jobless - Day 3 & 4

Oh well, it's weekends anyway...

Bitten by the Lazy Bug, I overslept and missed the Biblical studies class & Sunday's service! This is SLOTH!!!

反省しれっ！この怠け者！！！

And so I spent the days reading novels & practicing Dizi.

虽然常冷落是我的错，不过今天整大半个周日中午都在陪老公，竟然没给一句好听的！是怎样？！跟我耍什么脾气？！小心我休夫！！！

一起征战过多少曲子，亏我把你当成宝！
你这样对我，别以为我没你不行！我要把你休掉！！！

超生气的我！！！

化气愤为力量, made a new batch of cabbage kimchi.
Less salty but spicier this time!

Jobless - Day 2

No gym, no spa, no museum visits, no ...

Then why on earth did I even plan for them when
I'm not gonna keep to my plans?! *Shrugs*

Anyway, today is another full day at home.

Still missin my colleagues real bad :(

Continued with the room-keeping & laundries, and decided to
make a chair cover from an old bed sheet for that ugly thing.

Before:

After:
TADA !!!

 

















Not too bad eh?! Considering the fact that
I've not sewed anything decent for ages...

Well, can't do nuts without my Brother.
Yea, I mean Brother. Literally.

Jobless - Day 1

Woke up in the afternoon... Huh?! (O_o)!!! WTHeck?!

Thought I planned to hit the gym in the morning!?

Nevermind, I saw this coming. As usual... Tsk Tsk...

So I ended up staying at home the whole day -_-'''

Did the laundries & tidied my pig sty. And all was good :D

But I'm missin my colleagues real bad...

ラスト・デイ

Today, 25th April 2012, is my last day @ Aida.

刚过去的八天是我所度过的最微妙，最复杂的时光。

老板一副漠不关心，甚至继续一贯的恶劣态度令我恨得牙痒痒，

我却又黯然庆幸那般无情让我不后悔自己的抉择。

新来的女生悟性高，态度好，表现佳，让我感到欣慰，

但眼见自己引以为傲的大小职责将交棒到他人手里，

同事、前辈们的万千宠爱及信赖将不再集于这一身，
心里就很不是滋味。

明明已经带回不少东西，收拾办公橱桌时东西还是越收越多。

过去四年的点点滴滴不禁涌上心头，百感交集。

尽管有千千万万不舍，还是必须往前看；天下无不散之宴席。

很讽刺的，我竟然在 Last Day 加了一个多小时的（无薪）班？！

抱着三大袋物品，我只好达德士回家。

途中同事打来说我老板要和我说话，害得我忐忑不安。

结果电话的另一端传来的那把熟悉的，尖锐的，夸张的声音，
道出的却是句句祝福的话语。

算是为我在会田的这四年画上一道完美的休止符吧。

The Greatest Gift

The biggest Bday gift from myself is a New Job.

The greatest gift I've received is this:
It was on my dressing table when I got home

It's not about the amount of money inside.

不善于表达自己，和我没什么话题可聊的老爸，给我最美好的礼物，
就是那么简单的一句话。

Yay! Daddy I Love You too!!!

俺様の誕生日 - 24.04/2012 (II)

Birthday Celebration with Buddy Sebby

Went Triple Three @ Mandarin Orchard Hotel with Sebastian & Jonathan for buffet.

It's my turn to treat (buddy) so, yeah... treating and not being treated on my Bday -_-'''

Luckily there's a 40% off for DBS card holders, or else $108++ per pax would have bankrupt me.

We were so focused on the food that we did not take any pictures. Not even one. -_-'''

Anyway, the food & all weren't that great... Not worth going again.

Check out the cool present from Buddy~

The sports bag he hinted~ So darn cool!

 

Ok, here comes the 夸张 part...

Inside the bag, there's a pair of... Kumite gloves?!
Yippie, I'm gonna kick some arses..
I mean pull some punches with them! Ooosh!!!

Karate T-shirt?!

Knee-guard?!?! O_o?!?!

Woah, must have cost a bomb!!!

Appreciated lah Buddy! But really, it's the thought that counts...

After dinner we sat at the bar area and chatted till we missed the last train. @#$%^&*

Well, I managed to catch the last train to Jurong East and took a cab home from JE.

Lesson learnt: Always check the time ...
