Day out with 老朋友

Friday managed to go out with jiaying, shunyu and tzumi......like FINALLY! It's really hard to go out together because of shunyu's and my job. No way for us to off together as we take turns to work in a week.

We had good food at Tao's restaurant situated at Pomo mall. The food there are quite special, especially their beverages. They served 6 course meal for lunch and 7 course meal for dinner. We are able to choose the choice of each dish except the starter. A lot of food are those that i hardly tasted before and the way of preparing it are also very different too. We had lunch for just $21. That's including the 10% discount due to my dear supervisor, michelle. She has a friend who is an assistant manager working in the restaurant thus by just saying her name, we got the 10% discount. Good food, cheap meal and able to enjoy it with close friends is such an enjoyment, too bad jiaying only reach the restaurant after we finished the whole 6 course meal. I have uploaded the pictures of all the food we had that day. Now, the reason i say that their beverages are special is because they serve only iced tea, with about 6 choices. Not those normal soft drinks that kind. Furthermore, don't think that the teas they served are normal standard teas. They served teas with fruits like i had the iced summer peach tea which is very refreshing! They added chamomile herb, peach slices and ice in a small jug as one portion of beverage. It comes with a really small tea cup like the one japanese used for their tea. Shunyu had the same as i am but tzumi had iced apple rose tea. Again, it's nice too. Their tea attracted me a lot......i will definitely dine in there again. MUST! Haiz, i saw a teacher there at the restaurant that day. It's my GP teacher - Mrs Oh - who gave me extra lessons for GP....i think she's with her husband.

After the lunch, we went KBox. First time going with them but it's my second time there. We went to the one at scape, new experience.....the air-con there is a bit faulty, not cold at all. We sang for about 3 hour plus and settled down at toast box to chat and have a drink.

Then we walked around the malls and came across MANGO. I saw this purse the other day at MANGO but didn't buy in the end. So went in there again and after much consideration and bought it in the end. It's $35, my most expensive wallet that i ever owned. I will use as long as i can......

Then we went to the rooftop garden at Orchard Central. We took lots of photos there. How nice to end the day just like that.

Looking forward to the next meet up. Dunno when we can do that though. That day, we did plan about going taiwan together, just the four of us. If we were to do that, i bet it will be very fun. Let's start saving money for this trip! Really hope we can go there this july. We'll see how it goes.......

Cool experience

Had a catering event at work. It's quite normal for us as we do many events before. But this time round is SO COOL! Reason is because it's on a YATCH. For most of the people, like me, only get to see yatch on television, hardly can have a chance to see a real life yatch in front of us, not even saying to be on it.

Actually i didn't get to participate as they can only allow one organizer and one chef to be on the yatch, so cannot go. But to set up the stuff all those, 2 supervisors, 3 chefs and 1 driver went to help carry and prepare for the event. But of course only 2 went for the yatch ride, the others all came back. I was left in the shop with one chef to look after the shop. T.T 

Luckily, the supervisor who came back ask me whether want to go have a look since they also need some help to bring back all the stuff. And i tagged along. Like what my supervisor told me, i can considered this as once in a lifetime as without a valid reason, no one can enter sentosa cove. And it's really my first time and maybe the last time for me to see and be on the yatch. The photos are up on my facebook, too bad i didn't take photos of the yatch while i'm on it. It's really an experience that i will never forget even though i am only on the yatch for 5 minutes plus?

After that, we now have 4 people who need to go back to the shop, excluding the driver. The truck that he drove can only allow 2 people to sit at the front. What to do? Since my supervisor and i sat at the front for the 1st journey, we gotta sit at the back for the returning journey. Now, the back. What's at the back of a delivery van for bunalun? It's a freezer. Yes, a freezer which keeps our organic food cool and fresh so that they are still in the best state when delivered to our customers. New experience AGAIN! 

Sat in the freezer throughout the journey back. It's enclosed mind you. Lucky our efficient driver turn off and on the 'air-con' throughout the journey, if not we will either suffocate or freeze to death. Haha, no joke, the 'air-con' is really freezing. Only 5 minutes plus, my ears turned cool already. Imagine he didn't off the 'air-con', we will really freeze. Like i mentioned earlier, it is enclosed. There is no window for us to see where we are now......so how? Out came our good friend, Iphone! Haha, we used our GPS and thus know where we were at that time. Quite fun though. At first, our dear driver like forget that there are 2 humans at the back so drove quite fast. Can you imagine what happen to us when he went up a hump with a fast speed? Yes, we literally BOUNCED, worst still, not once, but a few times. It's really funny as i just sat right in front of my supervisor, i saw her going 'up, down, up down, up......down.....'. I think the driver realised immediately after her went over 1 hump and true enough, we didn't bounce for the rest of the journey.

My very own laptop

I got my very first laptop, Macbook Pro on the 19/03/2011. I finally can have a personal laptop and there is no need for me to share it between my siblings. This feeling is so good.

This post is my first post on my macbook pro, haha. One thing about mac is that there are really a handful (or a lot?) of applications that cannot be used and enjoyed on mac. This is really a headache. The reason i bought mac is because of its quality assurance. Definitely not because it's mac etc. But if i really want to enjoy those non-mac-friendly applications, i have to install window OS. Haiz.....if that's the case then it will be a situation where by the outer is mac but inside is windows...which is so.....-.-'''

I'll see how it goes. Hope i won't regret buying mac. It's $2488 leh......

Went to Sanata fe at riverboat, marina bay with qinning yesterday. The mexican buffet is really good. The ambience is so high class as it's on a boat, dim lightings and the service is acceptable. The buffet is ala carte so no need for us to walk around to get the food. We managed to try most of the food on the buffet menu. I think it's very worthwhile to travel all the way there for the buffet given the quality of the food and the price we have to pay. We thought that we won't be able to pay the student price but in the end we did. In total, each of us paid about $26 plus after service charge and GST. Don't you think it's cheap and value for money? I will definitely dine in there again.

My results

I'm really shocked to see my results. Shocked till the extend that tears started to fill up in my eyes upon seeing it on 4th march. I still couldn't understand why my gp grade is like that. When I first got my results and was about to scan through my grades. The first grade I saw was for gp, which is soooooo disappointing. I know that I am weak in gp but I didn't expect myself to get such a grade for A levels.

I just hope that everything will be smooth and I can successfully go university with the course I like and will enjoy studying. It is so difficult to choose a course to study. I am not really sure where my interest lies.....how to know what is my interest? Is there a test or something like that?

This weekend is the open house for ntu and nus. I hope by going the open house I can get to know the courses better and see which course is the most suitable one for me. This Saturday will be a tiring day or Shunyu and I. In the morning, we will go to the cafe a work till the crowd lessen then go to ntu open house. After that, we will travel back to holland village and help clean up. Haiz....no choice. Michelle went overseas and cannot find anymore part-time....so no choice....at least we can go the open house and not miss it.

Got this new app - talkbox, it is so fun! Can save my 100mins free out-going call. I can now chat with my friends for free!!! It works just Luke a walkie talkie. Jut need to have wifi or 3G and it will work. Can even use it between Singapore and Malaysia. If can use it between countries which are further, it can really save a alot of phone bills and allow friends and families to chat with their loved ones as long as they want. What a wonderful app! Really love apple.

I'm intending to get a Mac book. Should I? Should I not? Mac got quality but is it really worth the money? Or should I just get a normal laptop that is of a reasonable price at the IT fair? I need to pay part of the amount of the laptop I buy, so need to really sit down and think. Furthermore, I need money for my phone bills and my brace treatment so need to be cautious when I spend my money. *sigh* Any suggestions?

Friday is the day - CONFIRMED

The news has announced that the release of GCE A level results is this friday, 2.30pm. I hope that things will be smooth on friday. No matter what happens, shihui, you must face it and accept the reality.

I'm having a hard time eating almost anything now. My baby tooth is falling off and out of position already. I must use my right side of teeth to bite and munch, if not, my baby tooth won't be able to stay there till april. Because of the tooth being out of position, there is like gum or my flesh stuck at the side of the tooth so people may think that i have food stuck onto the tooth. I must constantly tell myself not to open my mouth so wide to prevent people seeing that. But it is so difficult as the 'stain' is quite obvious and visible. Just hope that april can come soon......

I have finished watching SHINee's Hello Baby. Will continue with 海派甜心.

Some random photos:

This is my breakfast on a fine morning after the ninth day of chinese new year. During new year, my mum will have to buy 年糕 for ancestors. In order not to waste it, she use it and together with sweet potatoes, dipped them into a batter and pan-fried it. This is so good. Love it! But cannot eat too much, will feel a little sick.

This is my cousin's jar of Sticky sweet. He brought it during the dinner for my grandma's birthday at a vegetarian restaurants. Seeing this remind me of the days in pioneer as i remember my classmates like to eat this sweet during class and lectures. We will pass it around and share it. How nice....

My Dream

Today i woke up with a weird dream. I dreamed that i got back my results. I only remembered the result for one subject. I failed PHYSICS. =.= i didn't even take physics. Why?!?!?!?!?!?!? This is so weird. Heard that results will be out next Friday, just hope for the best. *sigh* no more this kind of dream please.....

Almost finish with SHINee's Hello Baby....will be able to continue 海派甜心.

It's going end of the month, getting my pay soon.....^^

Finally my OFF DAY~~~

Finally got my off day. This week is to tiring, only got one off day. Monday to Wednesday were horrible, need to prepare the function that was being held on the Wednesday. Cleaning and working to till very late on those days. I almost died! My eye bags and panda eyes are very serious now, much more serious than those days which i have to stay up late to study. Hope after the boss leaves everything will be back to normal. 赚钱真辛苦！

Although i haven finish watching 海派甜心, i manage to find SHINee's Hello Baby, thus watching that now. I watched it before the last time but only in parts and pieces. Now managed to find the whole season, so started watching it! SHINee is about my age, so it's really interesting to watch someone of a similar age doing something that i won't have the chance to do at that age. Furthermore, they are so funny and cute in the show. Really entertaining! Haha. The baby featured in their version is SO CUTE! His eyes are seriously BIG! So pretty! This is the first video for the show, just continue to watch from here:



Tomorrow gotta work! Ever since i got this job, you can't find 'tgif' in my dictionary as Saturdays is the time when i need to go to 'war' (due to the large number of customers coming into the cafe to have breakfast, brunch and shop). I even need to read my notes every Friday night if i need to work on Saturdays. Why? Cause i need to refresh myself about the steps to make certain type of coffee or dishes which i don't normally make on weekdays or those which are not that popular.

Off to watch SHINee's Hello Baby.
