I am starting to hate blogging using livejournal. Pictures load toooooooooooooooooooooooooo slowly :(
Cant believe I have been working for 3 months already! This explain why I have not been updating regularly. I spent my energy in work... and whenever I have the time I go out or sleep...
Been busy going for family gatherings as well...
Now, Eating is my hobby. Boyf and I spent lots of money eating junk food. VERY BAD HABIT OF OURS.
But it's never fair... He never get fat but I did. I dont even dare to weigh myself anymore. HAHAHAHAHAHA! He bought this pants when he was in taipei. Can you believe it he ate so much during his trip he can fit into this VERY BIG PANTS. I think it's CRAZY. REAL CRAZY. That 1/4 of him is long gone... thanks to army.
OKAY I SERIOUSLY HATE UPLOADING THE PICTURES NOW. BOO BOO BOO!!!
Cant wait for my long weekend break next week.
I am going to take leave and go on my shopping spreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
5days long break... I seriously cant wait. If only bangkok is safe enough to go... TOO BAD TOO BAD!
Cant help feeling bad for not updating my blog for the whole month!!! It's exactly one month already and Im already with my company for 2 whole months. Another 20 odds days and I will be completing my 3 month probation. Of cos it's not the end I will have to complete my half year probation before I know if the pay increment is trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Work is piling up... true true true I should have appreciated my very slack times during the first 1 month. But if Im given a choice, I rather slog like mad... or should I say slog like now. HAHAHAHA!!!
THAT CHALLENGE AND STRESS CAN KILL ME BU
Anyway, I dont understand why August always have to be sooooooooooooo short. There goes my birthday. Something I learnt in August - Bday can be so much more exciting when I dont plan a single thing cos everything will be SURPRISE SURPRISE.
I went Sentosa, Buffet, Singapore Flyer, Romantic Walk hahahahahahahaaha gotten all my presents and end off the day with a surprise bday cake(the only one cake I love so much). Hunny bunny is such a sweetheart this year. I must say hes no longer that woodblock.
I was trying to act like a tourist by carrying that funny looking canon bagggggggggggggggggggg.
Didnt know theres parrot shows in Sentosa!
We almost signed up for the license. Lucky we managed to hold back ourselves. It's gonna be boring if you do this often, serious. That same track over and over againnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
Hes trying to make me laugh but I realised that thing there look SCARY!!!
I had a very nice bday celebration with my besties too!!! They are lovely they REALLY MANAGED TO SURPRISE ME!!!
CRABSSSS. They satisfy my craving so much by having a crab feast on my bdayyyyyyyyyyyy. I love chilli crabs and I love creamy butter crabs MORE!!!
Thank you everyone... for making my birthday such a fantastic one. Thanks to all the people who bother to celebrate my bday with me... all the people who had a share in the presents. THANK YOU!!!
Lastly, my dear sis got me a very cute bday cake to celebrate the end of my teenage yearssssssssssssssss. HAHAHA I cant stop laughing when she came into the house with a strawberry shortcake cake (if you know what strawberry shortcake is... it isnt a cake but a cartoon character I guess). And I really love the very very sexy tube top she gotten for me from the US and that fragrance. First time using cos I always have sensitive nose. It's hard to get me suitable fragrance.
Okay Im feeling tired.
GOODBYE FOR NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
This week pass REALLY QUICKLY. I can see my hunnybunny soon. REALLY SOON :) I promise him good soup every week when he come back home.
ANYWAY, today is MINI MILO DAY! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Free stuff again. Anyway this is my "work site".
COMING WEDNESDAY IS OUR DAY. EXTRA STAFF DISCOUNT DAY. I am going to carry all the mangosteen back... they are hunnybunny's favourite. Baking stuff too! I am going to make cheesecake and chocolate muffins :) Okie now I really sound like some auntie who get so excited when theres discount. Typical Singaporean Style. HAHAHA!
PAY DAY IS COMING!!! I have been hiding for too long at home. Time for me to shop like mad again. again. again.
hope tmr's a breezeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
GOOD NIGHT.
And I still havent practise my piano yet. BAD! BAD! BAD! okie. I am going to wake all the neighbours up later when I practise.
Now, I miss my dad too and I realised I love my grandpa like tonnessssssssssssssss.
Everyones sucha sweetheart.
This stupid banana DROPPED ON THE FLOOR before I even had a bite on it. & this caused my lunch mates to laughed at me for the whole time!!! In the end, I spent $1.40 just to eat one banana. GREAT.
Did I mentioned that my lunch mates are from Phillipines? They are so fun to be with... they take my mind off work at least for that 45mins lunch break.
I'm going into the 4th week of working in the company already and work is indeed piling up. I love the feeling of working in a fast- paced environment... time pass really QUICKLY now as compared to 2 weeks back.
Today's also the first time I joined in the Merchandise Mtg. I realised that sometimes it's all about having the courage to go to the director to ask for the permission to join the mtg.
Anyway it was a lil intense... but I really enjoyed it alot. I know a lot more things that the merchandisers have to do (I mean I nv know until I step into the mtg today). Talk about REALITY.
BEST PART ABOUT BEING IN THE MERCHANDISING DEPT or should I say PART OF THE MEETING is that we get to know about stuff that are not released yet and do product tasting like theres no tomorrow!!! Ok, now what's so good about doing/ knowing all these things first?
I'm lucky cos today's product listings was on FOOD. I get to taste juices, milk, snacks, confect. and MOONCAKE(Now I wish the mooncake festival is here I cant wait to eat more mooncakes)!!!
Sometimes I have to bring things back home to try because my director want my opinions. HAHAHA!!! It's good that she knows I love food, am a coffee drinker and cook/ bake alot. I think It's also time I get to know the CM(that's what we call our buyers in the office) better. HAH HAH HAH!
Now I'm a contented girl :)
I have not been practising my piano. BAD BAD BAD!!!
Yes... Yes... Yes... I know it's been a million year since I post an entry. Not because life's dull... but because I have been too tired to even switch on my dear old laptop everytime I gt home from work =(
Work really absorb alot of my energy... now I'm a good girl I slp at 10pm everyday. I repeat, 10PM EVERYDAY.
Okay, did you see me saying something like life's not dull???
I just had a talk with the C** last Friday. It's really cool cos he actually took the time to talk to me. Dont get it wrong, he spend time talking to ALL his new employees.
Though it was short... it was really ENRICHING. I learnt a lot more things. Like how he started with just a $400 full time job and work his way up? And how the other C** was only a dept manager in one of the stores but work his way up too???
Good that I wasnt tensed up at all. He said hes gonna talk to me somemore another day (cos that short chat was REALLY SHORT).
He gave some tips and words of wisdom to excel and to help me understand my immediate boss better. HAHA! Now Im gonna work damn smart and be sure that I'm first in the queue... if not the first few in the queue.
Anyway, he told me that it's always good to accumulate some working experience before furthering my studies cos a lot of things will be so much simpler by then. STUDIES, maybe a year or two later.
PROACTIVE is the word.
ALRITE, guess what! MY B'DAY IS COMING. My day. The only day to be the baddie and yet everyone has to comply to whatever I say! I am not getting DS LITE (now I feel stupid for wanting to get one) but my new found love- CASIO EX - S10 in red.
I want a joyous dinner at my favourite restaurant.
I want a super sinful dark chocolate birthday cake.
I want to be so much wiser & ALERT.
I want to be a better baker.
I want everyone around me to be blessed with good health & love.
I want everything to be captured by my new found love.
I feel my misses for you.
The attachment to Centrepoint CS was FUNNNNNN!!! I learnt so many things I cant stop grinning to myself!
So today was back in the office, doing the same old stuff. Im gonna finish it off tml. Serious. I have dragged for too long.........................!!! I hope my manager wont feel like killing me. haha!
In case you dont know, I AM DAMN HAPPY THAT THE WKEND IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!
It's the girl again =D
Thanks for listening to me, always always always.
That Special Moment. That only day when my sis behaves like a real lady!!! hahahahahahaha!
I think we dont look alike. Shes wayyyyyyy prettier BOO BOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I know I will love you always.
So now I really know that work can be damn tiring... I really wonder why. Especially when we are not manual labour. You will just feel the fatigue after one whole day... till a point where I no longer have the urge to go online.
I just eat my dinner and sleep when time's up. HAHAHA!
Something funny to share! Guess what's so funny about this packet of potato chips??? Cant figure out???
UNSALTED PROUD POTATOES. I never know that potatoes can be proud too!!! HAHAHA!!! It's a good thing actually. Even potatoes are proud to be potatoes, to be fried and eventually turned into yummy chips for humans to enjoy. We humans should be proud of ourselves too, isnt it??? I guess humans should start taking proud potatoes to build up their confidence.
One more interesting fact --->
My director thought it's fake. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So now you know, theres something funny to share in the office when work get very boring!
New addition to the family! Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeee! It's my good piping bag with a whole set of nozzles.
SO DAMN COOL I LOVE IT LOADSSS.
Some cupcakes to share. Vanilla Cupcake with Oreo!!!
this vanilla cupcake recipe is good enough to be kept (I add in the oreo on my own). Gotta try other flavours soon. I love the texture and the taste. Just need to get suitable cupcake pan/cups.
It wasnt wrong of me to choose to bake this instead of cream puff. I will bake again, soon soon soon. I wanna share it with everybody.
ANYWAY, Im vexed over those cream puff lah! I dont know why they always sink in the end. (after raising so much).
The urge to bake some cupcake is because of this shop - PAISLEY AND CREAM. Located at Clarke Quay Central.
My double chocolate cupcake. SGD3.30 to dine in.
Look at that design - fork shaped by chocolate powder. AND AND AND look at that frosting with that heart shape. It melts my heart so muchhhh. Whats so nice about this is that theres more chocolate frosting inside the cupcake. (So this also inspired me to hide oreo inside my cupcakes.) Imagine the whole cupcake filled w oreo. Yummms.
Look at me. I think I show my happiness through this picture. Perhaps it's a good idea to do some shoots as long as food is featured. HAHAHAHAAHAAAHAAAAAA!
Goodbye for now. More will come ;)
So I wasnt feeling right the previous day. I just kept talking about cakes and pastries till a point where I have the urge to bake a cake. I think it's very brave of me, really! HAHAHA! Since everytime I bake, my cake just doesnt seem right.
The total damage for a Tuesday's afternoon is $45. Ya, you must be thinking what the hell did I actually put into the cake that makes it worth 45bucks!!! But no, the ingredients only cost $22. I spent the remaining on equipments and whathaveyou?
Theres the palette knife, wire rack, mini size measuring cup, new baking tin, weighing scale and the sieve. They are my prized possession. To put it simply, they are like how a girl sees her LV bag???
I got to add on more to the collection soon! I still need a good piping bag, nozzles, rolling pin, more baking tins, different kind of palette knives, etc etc...
Dont get it wrong. I am still an amateur.
I bet dad wouldnt want to give me extra allowance if he knows I spend on these kinda things! HAHAHAHA!
With the butter, sugar and the eggs.
After folding in the flour, it's ready for some baking!
I took this through the glass door. HAHAHA!
Now it's ready for some frosting! NO NO NO, you must make sure it cools completely! Patience is the word.
One wrong thing that I did was to frost it with milk chocolate. I should have chose dark chocolate instead. Cos I find it a tad too sweet. BUT THEN AGAIN, sis says it's nice. Perhaps it's considered alright for the sweet tooth.
Anyway, have u ever wondered why chef's uniform is in white??? According to Guy D. Sockrider, C.E.C.
1) Chef Marie-Antoine Careme redesigned the uniform during the 1800's and chose white as the colour to represent the cleanliness in the kitchen!!!
HAHAHA! So everytime you wanna go to a restaurant/cafe for meals, pls request to see the chef for a moment! It might be a really good indication as to how clean the kitchen is.
Alright, one more interesting fact: The folded pleats of a torque were said to be an indication of the number of ways in which the chef can cook an egg. Mind you, theres more than 100 pleats on the torque!
I will be starting work next Monday. MY HOLS IS ENDING IN 4 and 1/2 DAYS TIME.
"If it's really u and me 50 years down the road, I will be more than happy to tk care of u" If it's really so sweet like those dramas, I think I can die w a smile on my face alrdy.
Suddenly, I look around me and realised there isnt anyone whos really free to be bothered by what I wanna say or how I really feel. Or perhaps there isnt a suitable candidate to hear what I have to say?
For one moment Im full of energy and then I feel ALL empty the next.
I AM GOING TO MAKE SURE I REALISE MY DREAM.
This is the only time where I have the courage to play with my time. I am still young. I can afford to take the risk. I wouldnt want to regret when Im 35 years old cos opportunity only come once.
I AM GOING TO DO IT. I am going to realise my dream with all the sweat and effort. SO WHAT IF I WILL BE LOWLY "PAID" AND I HAVE TO WORK SUPER LONG HOURS???
It's nth cos I know I will enjoy doing it. IT IS SOMETHING I CAN CALL MINE.
It is my baby and I will make sure it grow as "large" as possible.
Alright, so the whole family celebrated fathers' day over the weekend. Sat night was spent at Sembawang Park- Beaulieu House. Got to say that I will nv ever go back to that place again. PLEASE, the food and service is BAD.
It was an impromptu plan so I had to cancel my movie plan and I only get to shop a little! =(
I bought my RED cardigan, like finally...finally...finally! Why red? HAHAHA! Of cos this red cardigan is just one of the things I bought.
Also bought present for hui yi. Her bday is coming! Can't wait to see my bunch of girls. I am so glad that I spent my 2nd year and 3rd year of poly with them.
So today was well spent. Had lunch with dad at one of my favourite chinese restaurants and he ordered my favourite food. This is the first time I celebrated Fathers' Day with him. Hope he like my present =)
After the lunch was more shopping! HAHAHAHA! I just cant stop spending it's as if I have not spent for years.
I am still at a junction, struggling!
WELL, I AM TRULY AT A JUNCTION NOW.
having no idea which way to go! or should I say, dont know which risk to take...
ANYWAY ANYWAY, tmr is shopping day I hope. I wanna get this I wanna get that. See, it nv end!!!
=D No updates lately bcos I have been staying at home doing nth. Nth worth talking about unless you think housework counts???
It's bad when maid isnt ard.
Hope to have something interesting to share soon.
Goodnight!
