i got snappy

i took up the DBS credit promotion @ Cathay. a special prize for 2 tic, 1 drink and 1 popcorn.

the staff said they will serve the food to me when the movie starts. AND I DIDN'T GET THEM EVEN THOUH IT WAS ALREADY ONE HOUR INTO THE MOVIE!!

i was so pissed coz i was really looking forward to the popcorn AT THE START OF THE MOVIE!! i dont want them at any other time other than at the start of the movie. people just dont START eating popcorn in the middle of nowwhere in a show!!! at least me.

and the worst thing is, they didnt even sent it on their own accord. it took my bf 2 trips of out the cinema to ask them to send. i was even more pissed that their lack of service interruppted my bf's viewing coz he wanted to get the popcorn for me.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. then i did something i shouldnt have.

i got mad at the innocent panda. eh. yah. so another public apology for you from me.

i got mad at him coz he brought the stupid popcorn to me, when i was already mentally preparing to ask the staff to justify the incident to me. i wanna my money back! not the stupid popcorn in the middle of the movie!!!!!

anyway, i will never let them to offer to send the stupid f&b to me every again.i will just take myself!!!

at least the show (IP MUM) was good! 5 stars! donnie yuen portrayed the character well. the action was not exaggerated. it was real and breathe-taking and makes me wanna send my future kids to learn chinese martial arts.

the jap foodie in me

some friends & business associates has commented that i looked skinnier.

but no worries. i am still the foodie that you know me to be. i still eat a lot, a lot of variety but little in qty. i just eat lesser when i have stress. anyway, i visited 2 good jap restaurants recently.

the first one is the teppanyaki restaurant in Jurong Point. no need to mention names since i am unpaid to do so. whahahaha. anyway, i was seated at the teppanyaki table and thankfully no oil splattered on me.

the lunch set meal consisted of shitake mushrooms and garlic bread.... and also garlic butter rice. VERY fragrant. very nice!!
we also tried their soft shell crabs which is really quite value for money though i dont think its crispy enough. at least they are still reasonably fresh.

the bean sprouts look very delicious n platable for some reason next to the chicken.

conclusion: very value for money (for me) coz i finish abt 50% of the entire meal. cost me less than$20 for eveything above. me n colleague simply loves a good leisurely meal when the time allows...hahaha.

friday night, went to true spa for a complimentary foot spa teaser session. i call it a teaser session coz they tease you with what they can do and not let experience the whole complete session. i went with BF n he hated the attas setting. well... its all abt selling packages, it is actually quite cheap considering its $20 plus per session for 122 sessions per year.

the consultant said to finish the package within the original time frame, you need to go there 5 times a week. i WILL definitely take this up if i work in Ngee Ann City. i will just go there during my lunch break or after office hours!!! too bad i dont:(.

after that, we went to this quiet Jap noodle house near Cuppage. they have a roaring business even though they serve only 5 types of ramen and 2 types of side dish. they are authentic jap ramen makers!

even though there is only 5 choices, my bf took a longer time in choosing his dinner.

the decor- soft lights and japaese portraits.

serving coke in glass- i like.

the main characters of the night...

conclusion: i think its definitely better than ajisen. the char siew is so soft n tender! The soup tasted like its has been boiled and stewed for many hours. the noodles is very chewy, very QQ. the portion generous- even my bf the panda cant finish 100% of it. very fulling.

the pic makes me crave for the soup again!

xmas 09

xmas is just an excuse to spend during the festive sales. tho it is a religious holiday, it seems like everyone is "celebrating"it no matter what race, creed and religion one is originally from.

which is Great!:) we r a society which exemplefies racial harmony anyway. the spirit of giving and sharing is one everyone ought to know in life. i like shopping for prezzies even tho i often give presents which ppl dont like but i like. huh. haha. yah thats the truth.

this year's lights seems pretty mundane...

we tried to take a pic with the lights behind but block all of it away!

me in nerd specs...

n we were caught in the shop by the sales assistant ...

us after our shopping trip. truly, we are such shoppaholics.

this xmas, i caught a show called Twilight and it made me go GAGA. R.P. was sOo handsome!! *drools.

yes, i still feel like a teenage girl at heart.

the spirit of giving

there are pros n cons when the bosses are not around. we had a leisurely lunch while i cant get something 2 b approve>,<.

speaking of the leisurely lunch which we had at bugis, we had the Worst Bubble Tea ever! it is worse than Sweet Talk. they make the taste of Sweet Talk Bubble Tea taste as though it costs $10. 00. imagine how bad was that stall near the Bugis Village was! the pearl was soft & gag-inducing. the more you chew, the more you feel like puking.

should not haven been lazy and just walked back to SW if to feed my bubble tea craving. >,<


the cleaning auntie told me the insider news abt the company before the official email was sent... we gotta have a xmas present exchange! i forgot if we will be having half-day. the email also states some banned items e.g. body wash & mugs. we are supposed to get creative. -.-

the best thing abt xmas is the symptons of xmas and it is the four letter word which i love so very much! S A L E !!!!!

even though buying prezzies is a hassle but it is a nice feeling to know you are getting your loved ones something. the spirit of giving is overwhelming! isnt it fortunate that we can be in position to give?

over

my degree programme is over! 18 months of my life, slogging over projects and essays... blink n it went away just like that.

my mid year appraisal was just over too! my boss remarked that i am not an ambitious person. if i do not aspire to be at a higher level, i do not need my degree.

how practical is that. but everyone is entitled to their own opinion though i didnt agree with hers. i want to be qualified before i grow to be ambitious. anyway, these 18 months were relatively short and painless. i am enriched with all the concepts n theories which i am hoping to throw in my bosses' faces to wow them.

anyway with my degree classes over... how should i maximise my time? what classes should i take?

i love shopping- "photoshoot"

firewire is gonna have a group calender and everyone has a photoshoot. mine was a shoppingqueen theme. even tho it was taken with pro lens, friends has said it looked like i cam whored. but wat can i do seriously man?? as least it was a nicely taken cam whorish look. hahahahaha.

clothes , bags , makeup and props and accessories and pose all designed and brought by model herself. heeh.

this must be the first occasion when teckie looks more demure than me, when i have a monkey face while she doesnt! i can see the shadows which are being cast by my falsies!!;D

we were also contemplating to do a foodie-theme as well. BERY MII!!

we still manage to squeeze a birthday present opening ceremony for AH HO!!!:)

this is taken in terminal3!! imagine me a woodlander travelling so much. which reminds me, those poor holidaying people who were stuck at BKK's airport. those poor people who were holidays in Mumbay. there is no wrong that they did except be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

even more so for the young lady who had so much in front of herebut were sacreficed in the senseless moment for terror. it is blood chilling to know how effortlessly those people killed. are they people still?????

in any case, i am still wishing for a holiday!

i dun believe in people appearing at wrong time and wrong place. i only believe in meant to be. however tragic that it was, it was meant to be. if not, why is it that bad stuff happen to equally innocent and promising people when nothing differenciates me from you from them.

R.I.P
