hahaha... got inspired to blog again yest aft reading sy's blog...
so here i am, updating this "abandoned" blog of mine... hahahaha...

aft reading my last entry, realised tat i forgot to blog in events tat happened in dec 2008... hahaha... da biao jie got married to become mrs watson... yup... her husband is ang mo... they've really gone thru a lot... and finally manage to get my da gu zhang's approval and blessing to get married... ROM and dinner was set at raffles hotel... a very beautiful garden wedding ceremony and dinner was at a posh ballroom...
also in dec, organised a chalet for my sec sch gang... at first planned my tw trip in dec and opened it up to them... end up response not good at all... and during the mid autumn festival, they say if it's a nearer/cheaper place then they're more willing to go... end up decided to change to langkawi since tat's the case but alas, the response is as bad... end up cancel everything and organise chalet instead... i think i'm very blessed with such great gang of frens... perhaps they sensed frm my emails tat i'm quite tired of the bad response from organising the trips le... so during the chalet, everyone was spontaneous in doing things... this action was greatly appreciated and made me feel tat the efforts tat i put into organising this chalet had paid off... thx ppl... and many thx for the jacket too... although u all dun really have to go to such expense... it's my pleasure to organise the chalet for u all...
jan nothing much happened other than the mrs han event which i blogged in my previous entry...
feb went tw with ml... very thankful to her for bearing with my bad temper... hahahaha... ya... i admit... my temper had nv been gd... esp when i'm lacking in sleep... my dear and ml should be the first 2 to realise this ba... hahaha... the trip was super fun... we had tried all the means of public transportation there... hahaha... once we got out of the airport, we took shuttle bus to taoyuan high speed rail station and frm there, we took the high speed rail to kaohsiung. when we reached, we took the local metro and cab to our hotel... once checked-in, we went downstair to the nearby 7-11 to get our super late dinner... yup... frm the time we landed, we rushed all the way to kaohsiung... no time to buy dinner, and by the time we reach our hotel was nearly 10pm liao...
2nd day went to dream mall at kaohsiung for the sanrio ferris wheel on top of the mall... other than pictures of the sanrio characters printed on the cabins, every cabin had a plush toy of different sanrio character... the cabin that we went to had a cinnamoroll plush in it... so cute lor... hahahaha... but i wonder how often do they wash the plush inside... after tat, we went to find the stage shop in kaohsiung... the shop is quite special lor... it's inbetween rolls of shophouses, then suddenly break to become a special building by itself with a front porch... too bad cannot take photo inside... kena stopped by the staff when we tried to do so... and i nv buy anything at the kaohsiung stage... cos too ex le and it's only the 2nd day of my trip... went liu he night market in the evening... tried some of the interesting food there like coffin, stinky tofu etc... quite nice leh... aft the night market, we went to love river since our hotel package had included 2 tix for the boat ride... the river side has got very pretty lightings lor... somemore tat time when we went, it's still the CNY mood... and fireworks is everywhere... just very very crowded and have to squeeze with ppl...
3rd day was spent travelling to sun moon lake... at first we plan to take cab to kaohsiung bus station then frm there take coach to our hotel in puli before going to sun moon lake... but end up when we board the cab, the uncle ask if we wanna hire his cab for 1 day then he'll be our tour guide to sun moon lake... paid a total of NT 4000 for 1 full day of guided tour... ok la... quite worth it... cos if according to our original plan, we might not get to enjoy so much on the trip and will be wasting a lot of time travelling... somemore his cab is very special... got fixed phone, skyroof etc... super hightech lor... and the boot is so big tat it can fit both ml and my super big luggage and still got extra spaces... throughout the trip he shared with us his experiences, meeting a lot of diff ppl frm diff countries and how the locals live... very interesting chatting with him... he still purposely stop and show us how the bing lang xi shi works lor... end up by the time we end the day and reach our hotel, it's about 9 plus near 10 liao... during the 9 nights in tw, convenience store had been our best fren for all the nights... hahaha... a muz visit to us every night... our rm in puli is super big lor... with balcony somemore... and it's on a high level and can oversee the whole puli town... went soaking in the swimming pool aft settling down and buying our stuff frm the 2 convenience store downstairs... super shiok cos we're in a very warm pool in a cold night... hahahaha... and the whole pool area only got the 2 of us lor... majiam we own the place like tat... but just as we're starting the sauna, the security came to inform us tat they're closing the pool area liao... so we bo bian have to go back to our rm... one thing bad about the hotel... if u slip and fall in the toilet of ur rm, u can injure urself very easily like i did... i slipped and knock my knee against the bathtub... and got a super big blue black and numbing sensation on my knee lor...
4th day made our way to taipei... spent like 4 -5 hrs on the coach... dragged our laggages to take the metro to our hotel so many ppl lor.. .cos rush hr hahaha... by the time we settle down our things, we went to check with the staff there if the release lantern is tat night or not, they told us yes, and ask us to hurry there cos the event starts at 7pm... quickly rushed to pingxi and took the special train line... so many ppl go there lor... and it's super duper crowded... the train is so packed tat everyone is like sardine in a can... end up we take until shi fen then got off the train since tat's wat everyone did... hahaha... fun to fang tian deng and soak in the festive mood... by the time we reach ximending again, it was nearly midnight liao... went to check out the few push cart food stall near our hotel for our supper...
5th day started with having breakfast at the shops near rainbow hotel... very nice lor ba rice and carrot cake... then went taipei xing yi shang qu... walked to eslite bookstore to shop first... so many books at the eslite building lor... end up browse finish liao we walked over to the mass xing guang san yue... all the things there very ex... mango in tpe convert back liao also about the same as buying in sg... but just immersed ourselves in the atas shopping malls over there... went over to hua na wei xiu... at first tot if like m'sia movie tix so cheap, we'll catch a movie... but their movie tx there is like sgd 15 or so lor... super ex... so we moved on to the next shopping mall, new york new york... hahaha.... went to the daiso there... convert back to sgd, the things cost only 1 plus... so went to buy all the chapalang stuff there... at first when we planned this trip, we wanted to go taipei 101 de... but somehow reach there liao dun feel like going up anymore... hahaha... end up we only walk in tp101 then decided to go take the maokong gondola... but alas, when we reach the interchanging metro station, there's a big signboard saying tat the gondola is closed... but the time then was only 4 plus.. so we just decided to go out of the station and see wat's there to shop... and we ended up in dong qu... bt nothing much at the metro underground mall... not as much shopping as taipei main station underground mall... so we sadly decided to go back to ximending area... when we reached ximending, decided to go for ktv since the party world is like just opp the metro station... hahaha... quickly went to chop place liao then went back to hotel to put our things... just as we're crossing the road to go back to the party world, they paged for us... yes, they use paging service... when u chop rm, they'll give u a device which will light up and vibrate when they page for u... hahaha... their ktv rm also very gd lor... still got toilet on the rm itself one... one door to enter/exit the ktv rm, the other door to go to the personal toilet... hahaha... and all the songs there are like super up to date... just released mtvs also have...
by the 6th day, we're super tired liao... end up sleep until 11 plus then wake up to go walk walk... decided to go mr j restaurant... super hard to find lor... cos he got a few branches... ambience not too bad la... but the french dining is not my cup of tea... hahaha... according to ml who went upstairs to explore, she say the toilet very big... still got couch inside the toilet... hahaha... .decided to explore it myself, but the door was locked... someone's inside... went wu fen pu aft tat... super lots of stalls and alleys etc... end up got missing in the rather big area and we decided tat we muz walk with the sequence so tat we'll not get lost again...got 2 pairs of boots and a bag at wu fen pu... nv buy much there cos i'm very lazy to try on the clothes... hahaha... rao he night market was next since it's so close to wu fen pu... nothing much in this night market la... just some food stalls along the road and some shops... by the time we decided to go back, my legs are already aching like mad and the tot of walking back to the metro station freaks me out... cos frm rao he night market, u have to walk pass the song shan train station, pass wu fen pu then can reach the metro... so we ended taking the train back instead... hahaha... got my first stage jacket aft we're back in ximending... super comfy and warm but the price, of cos as compared to the sg branch is much cheaper, but it's still ex... hahah... 130 plus for a jacket... hahahaha... yes, i know u think i'm mad... but getting something u like very much, the price doesn't matter anymore...
7th day morning went for brunch at a swing restaurant in ximending... aft tat went miramar to take the ferris wheel and frm there, dunno where to go le so we just took bus frm jian tan station and went yang ming shan near evening time... ob the bus journey halfway up yang ming shan, can really feel the difference in the pressure lor... majiam take plane like tat... just tat the diff is more gradual one... reach the final station liao and realised tat majority of the ppl walk in another direction frm the visitor centre... told ml tat we shld go visitor centre take map first... but i forgot tat time is already 5 plus liao... end up climb about 1 km or so only to find a closed visitor centre... super sian lor... so we went down and went to shilin night market... eat and eat like there's no tml... hahaha... actually nv eat anything much also la... the super big chix chop got bone so i nv finish, the chao shou is not too bad... and i loved the da chang bao xiao chang... super nice... hahahah... walked ard shiling night market area... a bit boring to me la.. probably cos i'm not a shopping lover... hahaha...
8th day we woke up late... hahaha... by the time we're ready to go out, already nearly 12 noon... went to the modern toilet restaurant at ximending for brunch... i muz say, the food there is good~! portion also quite big and cost only about sgd 5-6 for a set meal... and u can buy ur drink in a niao hu... hahaha... went to bei tou for hot spring... at first wanted to go walk ard then decide on which one to go to... but at the metro station, there's a pacific wellness spa "stall" there... and we got persuaded to take the package of a private bath... doesn't make a diff in terms of price of public pool and private bath la... somemore the package includes high tea... hahaha... the place is very posh... super nice and relaxing... but hot spring water is too hot for me la... added a lot of cold water into our bath... hahahaha... went shopping at taipei underground mall aft tat... brought 3 pairs of shoes at NT200 each... super cheap and comfy shoes lor... reach ximending quite early, so we decided to go find ah zhong mian xian and stage...

last day aft we checked out, spent the whole day wondering ard ximending area... by then nothing much to do liao so end up we found another swing restaurant and nua there until it's time for us to board the bus and go airport... funny thing is, most ppl alight the bus at the first terminal, but our flight is at the other terminal... not knowing if the bus goes to the other terminal, we decided to just heck care and alight with the rest of the ppl... hahahaha.. end up had a bit of trouble finding the skytrain to travel to the other terminal... hahahaha...

ciaoz~!

woah~! just realised how bloody long i haven't been blogging... hahahaha... 1 and 1/2 yr plus le...

lots of things changed in life... ppl moved on...

well... work wise, finally out of hell about 1/2 a yr ago... resigned frm my first job under tremendous stress and pressure frm the bad management...

during my last few mths with them, a lot of changes there too... almost 3/4 of the population there changed and half of them r filipino... a bit hard to communicate with them tat time...

end up got a lot of shuffling in my team... other than my tons of acc when fion & sh left, i had to oversee 2 filipinos when jovvy left and have to take over majority of sista pig's acc when she transferred team during the same period as jovvy's exit frm the co.. so how can u cope to learn new things on top of the tons of current things (which increased in volume)? worse still, the stupid HKG control office is so damn free... for them, 1 person in charge of 1 acc only for 1 continent... therefore, they can send email to everyone in SG, including country manager & asia pacific manager to complain tat i'm slow (without my knowledge)... when these 2 start to kaopei, my director came and kaopei me... wtf lor... she so stupid cannot see tat i'm already buried under my pile of work, everyday come in office on time yet earliest time i leave office is 9.30pm? still dare to come scold me when she dun even know wat's going on... only 1 acc's control office tell me can help me do... come question me why i nv pass all my accs ask them to do... stupid... anyway, it's all in the past liao...

slacked for 3 mths aft tat... until my mum nag till i cannot tahan and savings almost depleted le... hahahaha... thou i nv tio toto or 4d before, i still think i'm quite lucky... just when i decided to find a job and sign with a job agency, on the spot they offered me 2 job openings... hahaha... both in cummins... but 1 is with the plant in Tuas, the other one is my current position in Tanjong Penjuru... and best part is, both interview they nv ask me much things... they like expecting me to ask them questions instead... and about 15 mins aft i left the interview then the agent called me to tell me they are offering me the job... waiting for me to choose which one only... well... i prefer warehouse/office environment rather than manufacturing factory/office environment... somemore bus journey got diff... one is 30 mins journey with a mixture of passengers in gender and race while the other is 1 hr journey with me being the only odd one out on the bus...

well... i'm very happy at work now... not busy at all... then can knock off on time everyday... hahahah...

love life wise, yup... it's still empty... hahaha... ppl moved on le... time to move on too... so i'm open to all options... well... i think it's ok for all my frens to tok about their partners in front of me la... i dunno whether u r considering my feelings or wat, tat's y whenever someone mentioned about ur partner u'll stop the topic.. but well... i'm ok with it... no prob to discuss about ur gf/bf in front of me de...

family wise, well... almost the same as usual... just tat there's now a mrs han at hm and one less miss lin... yup yup... my jie's bf proposed to her and she agreed... i'm so excited over this lor... can't wait for their wedding hahahaha... anyway it's bout time they tie the knot le la... so many yrs liao... until my relatives all very used to seeing him with our family... even when they nv see him during cny, they also got his ang pao ready and ask my jie to pass to him...

oh... and the last thing is... i'm finally going to tw~! yeah~! and is flying off this fri and will be there for 10 days... best thing is, xiao zhu's gonna have a free concert... just nice on my 2nd last day there~! wahahahahaha... finally seeing him live again after 1 yr...

just realised tat during this period of time when i didn't blog, i've already seen xiao zhu live 3 times and went travelling twice already... it's 2 nice trips la... one to phuket with da jie & frens and 1 to BKK with my dearest fren... phuket was super relaxing... our rm opens to the swimming pool... super shiok... if anyone's going phuket, i'll recommend u stay at The Access Resort & Villas... super shiok... live like a royalty there... somemore their rm service is done by boat one... very interesting... BKK wise, we stayed at a service apt... interesting to try all types of accomodation instead of going to the usual hotels... service apt is like one posh flat like tat... got dining rm, living rm, kitchen, bedrm & bathrm... very shiok and view's not too bad... the one i stayed in was Cape House la... not too bad a try and it's at city centre... where all the shopping r... and only about 10 mins stroll to their metro train...

ok la... i think the next time i blog might be aft my tw trip le... will update then...

tata... excited~!
