Pooh on Shanghai Highway!

As usual, each time I go to a new country, my kid will do a highway marathon... This time round, it's Pooh's turn to run on Shanghai highway! Here goes... Enjoy yea...



In case, you would want to reminisce Paco's scene... I have re-embed it for your pleasure purposes... ;)

Time flies...

It's 6 days after the new year and another 2 weeks would be the lunar new year... Manz.. Times flies...

There are 365 days in a year and many things can happen.. For example, last year's new year did not start well for me.. I am rather burden by some personal issues.. But who knows a new work enviroment can change my perspective towards leading life.. I am quite grateful that my colleagues are a bunch of fun, interesting and positive people..

I like the saying that birds of the same feather flock together.. because indeed the eniroment and surrounding make you... Of cos, you contribute to the people around you too... Every life God create comes with a purpose, I am unique so is everyone else...

This year beside having a healthy resolution, my the other resolution is to finish reading a new book... As stated in a post many years back, I never finish a book...

And I promise to write my post with proper Engish.. Ok that starts after this post.. Hehe..

;p

Happy New Year...

Back from Shanghai 2 days ago... Its a company incentive trip... Phew.. Shanghai was cold and I really miss Singapore when I were there.. Shanghai was not a fantastic place, and we have seen so many evil merchants out to trick us into buying their goods..

Anyway, shanghai is not a place I would like to mention more about in my humble blog..

New year is just 1 day away... Time flies in 2011... 2011 is a nice year.. a year of breakthroughs...

Its time to set my New Year Resolution...

Photos for fun...

My sis has been downloading many pictures application via the istore... Usually those application can do many things to your face.. See what these apps can do!!!


Fairy the belly danceer...


Fairy the zombie from resident evil...

Hahaha... Interesting.. I will try out some more another day...

Have you guys watch Toy Story 3? It's the best out of the 3 parts, well that's for me... This 3 little pea keep coming into my mind... I felt that it is superbly cute... They can unzip and see the world and zip up and start rolling away... weeyou... Superbly cute... And Paco couldn't get over it...


Introducing the Peas!!!

Christmas... My favourite festival...

Christmas is around the corner and I am extremely excited! Even my offices have lots of Christmas deco all over the place... However, I won't be spending Christmas in Singapore.. I will be spending my Christmas in Shanghai this year...

No worries though, I will be having a couple of pre-christmas celebration before flying!!! So excited!!!

Rejoice!!!

Just got back to Singapore last week from Phuket.. Phuket is not a very exciting place... Though its popular for its night-life but I still prefer drinking in Singapore... For me I would rate Phuket a 6 out of 10 stars for a holiday... :)

One thing about Phuket, I can ride the bike on the road... LOL..

SMRT -_-"

Lately, I have been really pissed with SMRT... Its like we are made to pay more for longer and lousier services...

For the past few days, I haven't been able to squeeze into the first morning or evening train that comes to the station... It took me 3 to 4 trains before I sucessfully squeeze into one at the doorstep!




Even at the time like 12 noon, the train is always packed like sardine fish in a can... Manz...

Are they doing anything at all with all our money?


SMRT, into the future?

Traveller of the year...

My company just sent out an email for a CSR program... CSR means going to underprivilage countries doing social work. So its end November this year!!!

Imagine, so if I go, I will be going to Indonesia then Shanghai in december!

Wow... It's like I am travelling all the time...

Kool! If I have enuff leave.. I would surely go...

Haha

Haiz..

My next mission this WeekEnd!!!

AhhhhhHHHhhh... I have got a ucler in my mouth... It just grew out of no where...

Anyway, our department is doing some restructuring AGAIN.. we always had meetings to talk about our R & R and it seem like we are not getting any where.. Anyways, I hope this time it would be final becos I am rather SICK already...

Wooo... I am getting some ingredients from phoon huat tomorrow.. So excited for the cake making session this weekend.. Hehe..

First trail... Orea Cheesecake... I am still thinking if I should make a round small cake or some small oreo cupcake...


Oreo Round cheesecake

Or


Oreo Cupcake

Hmmm... Which one should I make?

Any takers?

Life and its Motivation...

A day of tests!

Yeap, five of us were arranged to take our test today. So what test am I talking about? It's the test our participants have to go through to guage their English level before they go for english courses in our centres.

After I have flung with demoralising grades at O levels with a D7 (TWICE), I am pretty anxious about this test. In fact, its a different type of test as compared to the O levels. The tests is based on workplace literacy.

The lowest level is below 1 and the highest is at Level 8. I am pretty glad that I have made it through this test. I got a Level 8 for both my Reading and Listening. The Speaking and writing results will on only be out in 3 weeks time.

Perhaps after years of slogging, I have improved my English somehow...

And for my Maths, a Level 7. I am quite disappointed as being a Fairy with Engineering background, I expect to score full for Maths...

Anyway, went Daiso to get our caps for the forest adventure tomorrow! Besides getting the caps, I got an electrical hand mixer from BEST... Hehe, you folks can try my cheesecake soon!

I will be planning to do Orea cheesecake and strawberry cheese cake in the very near future...

I am so excited!

Actually, there is so many things to look forward to... we need some motivation manz!



I have listed out below all my anticipation ( so far, all that I can remember)

1) Tomorrow's Forest adventure ( I hope the weather is good!)
2) My cheesecake making session next Saturday ( I think I will start off with Oreo cheesecake)
3) Shanghai Trip this December ( Got my coldwear ready!)
4) Our Botantic Garden trip ( Very soon..)
5) My Company's 20th Anniversary ( We are supposed to be dress as cheer leaders)
6) Christmas Party ( Which i hope to plan one before my Shanghai trip)
7) Feb Bangkok trip ( Thinking of Massages, great and cheap food)
8) My increment and bonus ( Haha.. I hope I will not be disappointed)

When Fairy thinks she is geting older....

2 days I have been to work on time! It's a small achievement to me. Haha..

I hope the motivation won't take too much time before I get it back.

I am glad that we are still going thru with our plans. And this Saturday, we will be going to Forest adventure... All thanks to HX who have been consistancely keeping us altogether with this little outdoor adventure...

My next destination would be to the Botantic Garden!

Who's with me?

Come'on we need to see more hands...

It seems like i have lost touch with my bloggy for some time.. I have been busy going through and making new chapters in my life..

Sometimes, the spirit the strong but the flesh is weak. There is so many things i wan to do but was chuck to a corner.. Not becos i wAs busy but lazy..

After a while things became stagnant.. My motivation to work drops tremenously.. In an obvious way, i was late most of the time.. At work, i have lots of things on hand but i could stare into the monitor for hours.. Tat is not a good thing.. And i dreed tat..

And soon illness n age caught up.. It sound as if i am some 40 year old lady blogging now.. Lol.. I got into some very serious gastric matters n vommitted for days n my tummy got the way i desired, flat n slim but it was of no joy.. It felt really bad with aches now n then..

In the train on the way to work now.. I am trying to motivate myself once again.. I left house slightly earlier today..

I hope some motivate will ignite in me and i will start looking forward to work..

Sign off,
Fairy

=(

Disappointed with myself...

Our visit to Haji Lane... AGAIN!

Haji Lane Again? You may asked.. Yea... It has became our recent favourite hang out place... And we never fail to stop spending there.. Its either Jq will get her accessories or I would get my clothings... Haha.. And this time round, both of us spend...

There are loads of on sale stuff worth going down to grab for... Like they would place those 50% clothings probably the old stocks in a basket ( for most stores) ... I usually go for the on sales item as I am not so rich yet... LOL...

We usually stack our lazy butts in this cafe called PLUCK... It sells great and affortable ice cream! Superb for our tongue! The shop is a halfer concept... Half of the shop sells clothings and half is actually a cafe.. The moment you step into the store, there an strong coffee aroma good enuff to blow you away...

Sunday Gals...

Now I am sitting in front of the fan drying my hair before going to bed... Had a late day with the gals today as I was so tired that I slept flat till this afternoon...

Met JQ and HX at 313 as we were supposed to go to Oriole coffee to chill out but becos I was damn late.. ;p JQ has shopped the whole 313! So we went on to OC as JQ wanted to satisfy her tongue with some Cold stone Ice cream... And as expected, the Q was superbly long!! We went Gelare at level 4 instead... The ice cream was too sweet for our tongues...And we didnt really enjoy it... But it remains us of Haji lane's Plung Ice cream! Cheap and good and nice!

I was superbly amusing but the toilets at OC as they had this kool device to wash your butt and even dry your butt after u do your "stuff"... :O

We found many chill out places at OC with little or no people that we can actually dwell our lazy butts along orchard road..

Went triple one for dinner and we settled at this Italian restaurant which Jq recommended... The manager pissed us off at first with her rude service but we were pacified by the good food they served after that...

Of cos, that comes with "sparkling huge eyes" bills *Cha Ching*... It's probably gotta be once a year kind of meal... O_O

Here's a glimpse of the food at the restaurant...


A fold over pizza... It contains ham, cheese, olives, herbs, etc... The name of the dishes here are too chim to remember.. ;)


Chicken with spinach cream sauce... Superb dish esp the sauce!


Potato dumplings with cream mushroom and cheese... This is a very unique dish! The potato dumplings are extremely chewy...


A peek inside the potato dumpling... Its like a thin layer of flour outside ( something like those Hakka 算盘子) and the inside is mash potato...


The interior of the restaurant...


JQ's strawberry shake...


Hx's tessena peach ( I think it's spell like that)


My favourite Erdinger...

And which we have came up with our plans for the year... Please let me know if you are interested to join any and we can prioritise the outing... ;) Cheers!

Great but exhausting day..

Today its our first CU2 ACTA course... My colleagues and myself attended the course like zombies as we had a Department BBQ nite on Friday at our office area, Bugis...

The course outline was supposed to be very interesting... I suppose we were too exhausted after the late nite games and everything that we basically went there to warm the seats only since its a full day 9 hour course!

Went NCC for their Gen Rev service with TNL after the course... I was so tired that I fall asleep during service... I was enjoying my sleep as people around me were laughing at the Pastor's jokes... Manz... How was I able to do that?!

But still~ I did took back some teaching in mind at the starting and ending part of the sermon... Then went Gombak to eat our 24 hours roti prata and a cup of teh tarik...

Loving to dwell in the goodness of God...

Anyway, I am uploading the BBQ pics in FB... Check that out!

Presentation

I am having a bad headache now... Today is our last lesson for the Better English pronunciation programme and as said in my last post, we are supposed to do 2 presentations for the panel... So i presented about my hamster for the social topic and one of my job role in my coy...

The presentation was a mess as I thought it was messy and was badly organised.. And the surprise thing was that, the panel of trainers said that I was one of the top scorer..

I was told that I have high pitch voice that would garner the attention of my audience which i was surprise too.. I kinda dislike my high pitch voice as I felt that it was rather irritating...

Today, God shown me on a talent I never knew and how I can use it wisely. :)



My ACTA course seem to be a right choice!

Back to the classroom...

Finished the first unit for my ACTA course last Saturday... And i am starting my unit 2 coming Saturday... My colleagues and myself were rather stressed over the short interview and written assignment... Though it was a open book test but putting me back into a classroom enviroment for studies again... I'm still kinda nervous about it...

My company has also arranged for a English pronunciation class for us. And Thursday, we will have to do 2 short presentations... Back to the classroom all over again!

There's a mixed feeling in me... Kinda glad to go back to the classroom but yet I am still stressed over assignments and keeping myself awake in class after lunch time...

Watched this many times but it still makes me laugh...

Not a very pleasant week...

I started the week with many crop ups... And my heart is not very peaceful... I do not know what is troubling me or probably its the crop ups this few days that cause me to be a little impatient and frustrated...

My buddy and myself who are stationed in Jurong moved to Bugis together with part of my team... We have 7 to 8 people squeezing in half a room and it was not a very conducive place to work in... Of cos, with more people in a very small area.. I tend to kick and trip over files, chairs, cables and .... and I was really frustrated...

Praying for peace....
