Went to 'climb' Mt Sophia today. Lao ye and I were panting like hell when climbing the long staircases from Dhoby Ghaut to Mt Sophia. We were heading to 'Old School'.

I ordered Crispy bacon pasta and lao ye ordered his first time ever in life - Homemake Wagyu beef burger. The restaurant is called Bistro Gaga. Waiters & waitresses quite attentive. Overall food & service not bad. No wonder have to pay 50 over bucks... Will u/l some fotos on the cafe soon.

Jaime doll is pregnant!!!

On 4th Oct (Thurs), took 1 hr time off during lunch time to meet up with Jaime doll. We did not lunch at our usual Mr Teh Tarik as Jaime doll is pregnant, had black pepper chicken pie at Don club instead.

We had a lot to catch up. Jaime told me that she loves to have her food spicier than ever. This pregnant lady has craving for fish ball soup and soupy stuff. Her due birth is on next year April, which is also the same time where she is moving into her new flat at SengKang. I suppose she is having her house warming and baby's one month celebration at the same time.

I saw my ex colleague

On 2nd Oct (Tues), my two new colleagues - Hannah, Vada & I went down to Vivo City during lunchtime. We had our lunch at Pastamania. Just to comment that their lychee soda was not bad.

After lunch, Hannah went to meet up with the store manager at North Atrium to discuss about some promo event issues. Since Vada and I were only tagging along, we went to look at their current shoes promo event to see if we can get any good bargain.

At the atrium, I saw somebody familiar - my ex com MD's secretary. She was taking half day off doing her 'tai tai' shopping. Told her which com I am working for. By telling her my com's name, it means my ex boss and some colleagues will know the news soon...

As expected, my ex colleague email me the next day knowing which com I am working for and said next time can ask me to get discount for them liao.

For the past few mths

For the past few months, most of the time were spent in office. Almost everyday working late. It's tiring and sometimes stressful. However, during this tiring process, I realized I learned a lot of things.

Despite four people including the previous girl whom I am taking over her position, had left my department, I had 2 new nice colleagues joining in. As my boss and another executive went outstation to KL every week, I am the one calling the big shots in my department. Lol.

I always love working in town area. Life is not boring. It is also convenient to meet up with friends after work. Lucky for me, being a non executive, I am entitle to claim time off whenever I perform at least half hour overtime.

No Signboard

Panda & her hubby were supposed to meet us today, but last min 'fly kite'. The 4 of us, Moontie & her bf, Kelvin, Lao ye and me dine at No Signboard - East Coast branch.

Although it's Moontie first time dining at No Signboard, she knows their signature dish is the White pepper crab. The chilli crab tastes average (think Roland & AMK are the best so far). The mango sago with pomelo was a bit ex costing $6/bowl.

It's Lao ye & my first time seeing Kelvin. Must buy life insurance if you wanna sit in his car cos this guy's driving speed is quite fast.

In the end, we still didn't manage to pass the presents to Panda. I am going to kick this Panda's ass soon. Beta watch out.

Think I will try to mit up with Jaime doll, Michelle and Eileen soon. Please wait for my sms hor...

My Moontie Dear

Today went to meet Moontie at Bugis. We went to buy Panda's belated bdae present. Congrats on Panda's ROM.

It's been ages since we last went out together. Moontie sis is a real darling, always willing to lend a listening ear to me. Told her my unhappiness abt my insensitive Lao ye lor... Sigh...

We were discussing abt going to Bangkok next yr. Oh dear, already made so many appointments with diff ppl to eat crabs.

Gd Luck to Rain!!!

I knew I had made the rite decision. Let me enjoy working in my new environment and stay on for long. I want them to know I am leading a good and happy life. Live with no regrets!!!

To all my dear friends who intend to change or are looking for a new job - Jiayou!!! Dun give up!

Our fate is decided by the two of us?

When I first started blogging, I thought of this verse, 'Our fate is decided by the two of us'. It means that I hope my boyfriend and I will decide our future and not manipulate by anybody or anything. This blog was created bcos of this verse. Maybe it's time to abandon this blog and create another new blog. TBA...

8th May 2007 (Tues) Hot Spring

Nice American Big Breakfast at the resort, too full to eat the water melon even though it is complimentary from the resort. The drama, 'Winter Sonata' made Yongpyong Resort famous as most of the film shootings was done around this area and the resort itself. Went to take as many snapshots as possible after breakfast. Took the cable car located behind the resort and went up to the mountain peak.

The mountains behind the resort is beautiful when covered with snow during winter season. During the peak winter season, the resort is fully booked as many Koreans and foreigners will come here to ski and take the sky ride to see the magnificent view of the snowy mountains.

Unlike the Singapore cable cars which only took 5 mins to reach the final destination, Sentosa, the Yongpyong cable car took 20 mins for us to reach the mountain peak. We enjoyed viewing the beautiful sceneries outside through out the ride. Saw some withering Sakura trees. The best time to see fully bloom Sakura trees in Korea is around end of March to mid April. I hope I can view it in Japan.

7th May 2007 (Mon) - Yongpyong Resort

Breakfast is the same as yesterday, but taste nicer. Went to Dragon Head Rock before catching our flight back to Seoul. Goodbye Jeju...

Upon reaching Seoul, our coach took us to Everland (Korea Disneyland) located at Yong In. We did not have time to enjoy the rides at Everland. The only ride we had was the sky ride. We queued for half an hour to take the shuttle bus which drove us into a Safari to watch the lions, tigers which are living together. They were not being lock up. Separated from these two animals living in another space were the big lazy bears. Dinner was on own expense, had to rush eating so that Des and I can buy some souvenirs from Everland's tourist shops.

Tonight will rest at Yongpyong Resort.

6th May 2007 (Sun) ~ 2nd Day in Jeju Island

It was a rainy day. Today breakfast was toast with fried egg and so called abalone porridge. First destination of the day was Moksukwon Park. Strange and oddly natural lava rocks. The tour guide told us the stories and legends abt these rocks.

Touch the ground god status's nose, you will get a son. By touching his ear, you will have a daughter

Travelled to the eastern tip of Jeju Island, we visited the Songan Sunrise Peaks. It was really cold... Dear and I were shivering...

From the souvenir shops at Songan, we bought tangerine chocolate and jelly. Bought a dolphin souvenir for my gd buddy, Michelle.

Spent abt 35000 Won buying pure honey at Song up Folk Village. Traditional thatched houses under a protection order, where people continue to live and work as they have done for centuries. Males were more important than females at this village in the olden days. Had Black Pork BBQ for lunch. Quite delicious...

Went to experience the 'Mysterious Rd', the vehicle can move by its own for abt 1M with the car engine off. Today's dinner have to pay extra 25000 Won to eat a sumptous seafood steamboat. Actually, I suspected the tour guide would 'pocket' some of these $. It happens in most tour group.

5th May 2007 (Sat) ~ To Jeju Island

Early morning, had our breakfast at the same restaurant where we had our Ginseng Chicken soup. Buffet breakfast - oily noodle, gyoza, plain mantou, porridge etc... Went to Nam Sangol Hanok Village - filming site of 'DaeJangGeum' after breakfast.

Only had two hours to shop at Myeong-dong and Namdaemun. Needed to catch a dosmestic flight to Jeju Island. Bought my first souvenir in a department store at Myeong-dong. Had lunch at Chinese restaurant.

4200 Won for One box of 5 pens and 8000 Won for the Key Chains of 5 with LED light

Had to board a shuttle bus and then alighted to board the flight on the runway. So interesting man...

Upon reaching Jeju, had seafood steamboat after check in at Jeju Oriental Hotel. Went shopping at Tapdong Street, bought 2 same necklaces from a department store.

Not much activities today... Wan an...

3 May to 10 May 07 ~ Korea Trip

3rd May 2007, Singapore time 23 25hrs - Korean Air KE642/Boeing 777-300 setting off from Changi Airport Terminal One. The journey to Korea began...

4th May 2007, Korea time 06 35hrs - Korean Air KE642 landed at Incheon International Airport. We reached Seoul, capital of Republic of Korea (South Korea). Had early breakfast on flight. ABF...

Greeted by Korean born Chinese tour guide, Andy and Korean photographer, Kiki. Had a first wrong impression - thought Kiki was the tour guide and Andy is the boss of the Travel agency cos he was wearing suit.

1st itinerary of the day - Nami Island. Shooting film for Korean drama - Winter Sonata.

After lunch, we had a long travelling in our tour bus. Next, 'The Jump Show', it replaced the Lotte World for the itinerary as it was under renovation. Comical show with excellence kung fu fighting performance. Impressive!

Dinner for today - Ginseng Chicken Soup. One small spring chicken stuffed with steamed rice, herbs and red dates inside. Aiya, forget to take photo!!!

Stayed in 6* Grande Sheraton Walker Hill Casino Hotel. Lost 5500 won in the Casino at the jackpot.

Today is the second nite of the trip...
