Celebration!- En Dining Bar

To celebrate that I have tendered and had gotten the job I wanted, we went for a shabu shabu and ala carte buffet at En Dining Bar! We went to the Bukit Timah branch @ Crown Centre because it was nearer for us. Nice cozy corner with tatami function rooms. But it was drizzling cold last night, so we sat outside instead.

the first few plates and shabu shabu~ <3

the sashimi was awesome

it's $48++ per pax on weekdys, but the variety of sashimi is more in comparison to other buffet IMO.

staff are friendly and helpful as well.

Mr Happy Boy drooling w the food.

 

Menu can be found: http://www.endiningbars.com/en/buffet/BT_Buffet.pdf

We had sake and maguro sashimi (many servings), agedashi tofu, grilled shitake, fried white fish, Beef Shabu Shabu n veggie, bean sprouts (yea, that's for me. I love daogei) and we are almost there.

But the sashimi was good, fresh and melts in mouth kind. I dont really fancy maguro (tuna), but this place changed my mind. It was all worth it.

Most importantly, I'm so happy!!

My career seem on track; to want to be a HR manager at 27.
at 24, I will be an Asst HR Manager.

I'm right on track, right on track.

I GOT THE JOB.

I'm so freaking happy!!!

Now checking whether my future boss have any concern if I go off for my Taiwan trip; YEA!!!

I did it!

Everyone who knows me probably knows, that I have a need to leave my job. Very badly.

Since the first month I was there.

But being in HR, I cant afford to hurt my resume by giving people the impression that I'm a job hopper, so I had to stay out the year.

Now that I'm 1 yr 3 mths old and since there’s no AWS, I decided that I should go before next year!

So I’ve finally made the decision to tender!
AND I THREW THE RESIGNATION LETTER LAST EVENING!!!
YEA!!!

I had just rejected an offer with quite a good package last week and am going to push off my initially first choice interview and employer for a second interview with the VP end of this week because....

I've a good feeling about my interview last Saturday.
And I'm keen in that role because:

1. It's hospitality industry again but this time I will actually be out in the field n not sitting in the corporate office

2. It's a managerial role

3. It's what I always wanted! To go back into ops side!

Now I'm really excited about it, but not telling you where yet!
Till I accepted the offer. :p

One Decade of Friendship

We were initially out for an outdoor shoot but it started to rain. zzz

 

But the rain doesnt dampen our spirits!

Ryleigh's bro, Chek Chong very kindly helped us take some shots at the airport!

(He's quite good at what he do IMO, and a fun chap!)

 

So all of us headed there and had lots of fun! HEHE

 

Thanks girls, for being such awesome gfs.

 

HZ: thanks for bitching all the time. (That's right!) All your bitches and sluts stories are hilarious, I'll never get bored of. Thanks for your concern and love too, I know sometimes you nag (too much) but you meant well.

 

Ying: thanks for being my sassy gf, for being there when I'm weak, for talking to me when I need. And the crazy times at Waterfront, Bintan etc.

 

Lin: thanks for NOT READING the WA all the time and being off topic; not forgetting that you're always late. Every clique needs a girl like u so that we can all bitch about when you're late and we have nothing to do.

 

Our differences makes us strong in what we do, and this decade of friendship proves that no man, no situation, nothing!, can rob us of the friendship.

 

From love concert, to sarawak, to working in McD in T1, to meet upa when you come back from Aussie, to Isetan and Mango sales, to twice a year Spain trip, through each others lives we live.

 

It's awesome.

BFF forever!

Cheap Cheap Airfare!

Oh freak. Jetstar is having another mega-sale and the Taipei fares are THE SAME as what Ying got.

-_-

WE COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE SAME FLIGHT.  

For those who have not planned for your holiday, Jetstar is having a sale again. Slightly less than S$300 to get to Taipei. Grrr.

OK! On a more positive note, I’ve confirmed our accommodation at a 民宿 in 西門町opposite 阿宗麵線. It will be the first time I will be staying in Taipei but NOT Rainbow Hotel (In case you don’t know, it has one of the best location in Ximending). Reviews later. 

This trip will be totally awesome, if you are interested, you can come join us (since I shared the Jetstar deal already) in Taipei; for dinner or something, I will be there from 23-28 Feb 13. 

And yes! I will spend my birthday (24 Feb) there! This trip will be very different from my last 3 trip to Taipei cos I’m planning the following:

• Hanami!- Cherry blossom viewing can be done in places outside Japan!
• 放天灯 in Shifen- ON MY BIRTHDAY. There is an event that day and the whole town will be flying their lanterns!
• Wulai- I’ve never been there for their hot spring; only been to Beitou. But I would love to spend a night in a nice hot spring resort there if time allows.

These are just some of the things I’m doing/going for the first time because I did not do it on my last trip. The usual nice and interesting places of cos I will still go, eg. Night market, ez-5, Luxy, shopping, food, massage, etc. Of course I need to show my xdd around too. it’ll be his first time to Taiwan. :)

 

When I was young, I inspire to be a tour guide. HAHA

 

But they earn peanuts. :(

Edited: the widgets on Ying's blog is TOO CUTE I had to get one too.
And it's telling me it's telling me Taipei is just 3 months away!!

Good Week!

Finally booked my next holiday!
To Taipei again!! On my birthday!!!

Yea!! Can go hanami!! :D
So exciting!!

This time it will be fun and I will also be going with the Bintan clan!
(Oh shit, reminds me I havent blogged about it.)
*smile sheepishly*

Oh well! It's a good week today!
Offers are coming in and I'm going for second interviews in places I really want to go. :)
Pray hard! It'd be good!

Great Eastern Women's Run 2012

My sis's first run. At point of signing up, she totally wanted to sign up for the 5km while I wanted to sign up for the 21km. However, she's still not of age to participate in the 21km, so we had to settle for something in between; 10km.

I forgot to bring my towel along. Heng sis got extra towel. Although it's small.

hehe, the fun thing of running w kakis, is that u get to camwhore after the run. 

Just pose w the medal. :D

Haolian boy like to wear ironman shirt out. LOL

 

This is my first women's run. I don't think I will ever join again.

I was late yesterday and I started running about 15mins after flag off (so there's hardly anyone in front). After 3km+, I finally caught up w the whole mass of people in front and....

 

THEY ARE ALL WALKING.

 

I felt like this is more of a walkathon than a run.

 

So no more women's run for me.

 

Some of you may argue that it's really because I was late which is true, but I dont see so much mass walking in other runs still.

 

AND THEY WALK, THEY WALK IN A STRAIGHT LINE.

 

SIDE BY SIDE.

4-5 PAX.

 

Seriously, I obviously can tell you guys aint running the run.

But this is not your grandpapa road pls!!

 

oh well, but overall, the run is quite well organised la.

Although I wouldnt join it again. :D

Halloween FrightFest 2012 @ Flyer

That's right!

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you.

The girl who dont like to waste money to watch ghost movies to scare myself, went for Halloween this year!

 

This started as an innocent question one day while xdd was driving and Halloween was approaching.

I asked if he celebrated Halloween before and he said he didn't and thereafter is super enthusiastic to join.

 

So, with some hesitation, I asked my dear Ying and Stan along (ya, I dont know why we keep double dating since Bintan) since the more the merrier.

 

Ying is also like me, have this certain fear of watching horror shows and threshold for such nonsense is quite low. So, I researched on the LEAST scary Halloween event, and settled on the FrightFest at Singapore Flyer!

 

 On the cab to meet Ying and Stan for White Bee Hoon @ Sembawang.

Ying had NEVER eaten this before even though she is Yishunist.

*Shame on u Ying.*

 



 

 And here we are! Ying bought the tickets online ($28/pax), so there she is getting our tickets to hell.

Yup, it's the Undead Forest.

In reality, it's really the small "garden" (actually just a few trees and bushes) in the middle of the main circular building. The trail is only a mere 10 min walk.

Tickets to hell.

This is the scared face btw. Stop looking elsewhere.

Ok, he's perfectly not into the scared face thing. LOL

the queue~

why are so many people here waiting to get scared?

me and my sassy timid gf.

and my cheeky hornee looking xdd.

Last smile before we head in!

 

Ok, here's the story-telling part, because obviously I was too tramatised to take any photo.

I went in and I was freaking scared. FREAKING scared, is an understatement.

 

I was TOTALLY FREAKED OUT.

Apparently, the "ghosts" will haunt the fella that looks most afraid and STICK to him/her.

And unfortunately, that's me.

 

I was screaming my lungs off and the guy keep pestering me.

Xdd concluded that it was because my shirt was too revealing and they want to see more.

BUT I DUN CARE.

 

I'M FREAKING SCARED AND MINDFUGGED.

I WAS SCREAMING MY LUNGS OUT.

I CAN'T WALK.

I'M SHIVERING ALL OVER AND HOLDING ON TO MY XDD.

CRYING.

 

All I can say is, "工作人员~~!!"

And the hero was spotted in black.

He walked ahead of us, and stopped all the scary people from scaring us and we were out in a jiffy while I was wailing all the way.

 

After this, I just want to say 2 things:

 

1. NO MORE HALLOWEEN FOR ME. who the f suggested this anyway?! (oh its me. hehe)

2. My xdd is the man. He's so brave but I frightened him quite a bit from all the shivering and crying and wailing.

So much for a Halloween.
I felt a little guilty for wasting Ying & Stan's $28/ea but they were like telling me Ying was crying and all too, and I felt slightly better.

Next time, I will promise to read the warnings carefully and take it for real.
(The warning said something like; This is not for the preggies, weak hearted,.... and the scaredy cats.)

yea... I'm a scaredy cat... *purr*

Happy 4th Monthiversary!

This is an open love declaration.
_____________________________________

Hi love, happy 4th monthiversary!
Thanks for bringing me joy in my life, and being the funniest, wittiest nonsense I've ever met.
You've never failed to cheer me up when I am down, pamper me like a princess when you can, catch me when I'm falling and hold me when I am weak.

Thanks for being strong and unwavering. Even when I was unsure, you held on tight.
Thanks for loving me.

I love you. Not just because of the things you do for me, everytime I see you, I fall in love again.
I never thought I can fall in love this many times with the same person.

Even when you behave like a child (which is like 90% of the time), it's still oh-so-cute.
You must be a road sweeper in you past life, cause you never failed to sweep me off my feet every single day that I see you.

I love you. :)

Yes, even when you are smiling unknowingly at the camera with mayonaise on your nose. :D

I ISH STILL LUB U DE!!!! hahahahaha~~~

Crab Feast @ Marsiling 136 kopitiam :D

We are back here again!
This time there's only the 2 of us.
And so much food!!

Stingray, small kailan and salted egg crab. OMGOMGOMG

 

 



I was having a really bad day at work that day, and we impulsively went to find some comfort food.
Food here is not bad if you live in Woodlands, dont order Chilli crab, nth fantastic.
Their butter/salted egg is quite good. :D

Very comforting!

 

 

It's difficult to go on a diet when you get burnt out at work!

When I'm stress I eat, when I come home daily, I'm so exhausted I can't run.

All I do is to lie on my bed, and fall asleep.

I'm increasingly more and more concern about this, because this can't do.

 

 

SO, I'M NOW LOOKING FOR A JOB!

Going for an interview tonight and Friday.

Hopefully, something good will come out of it!

 

Everyday, I dream that I can throw my letter in your face.

 



Starbucks is only nice...

When Xmas menu is here!

Pcwing at sp because I can! Hehe
