My very first taste of Halloween Night!!

The late afternoon started with a SMILE (^-^)



Although we nearly enter Malaysia, we successfully reached Marina Barrage with kind direction help from mama & her bf =P


My sweet bdae cake accompanied by...

A mat full of yummy picnic food!!!

The highlight of the day is of course Halloween Night at Night Safari~


Our Gruesome Dessert with cocktail.. interesting how they could make eyes, fingers and blood out of food!

My gruesome face appears upon touching the food...

and...

SCB grew a sixth finger!!

On Board the Train of Terror..


Hell of a ride...


Too bad i wasn't able to take any nice photo due to sudden scares and moving train.. I enjoyed the ride!! Especially we were sitting on the first carriage and I was sitting at the side!!

Luckily we had some great photos with those horrible ghoul on a trail and before leaving night safari..




With 长舌鬼 on the bridge. Gosh.. we were so damn scared while crossing the bridge cos the chinese vampire and 长舌鬼 were just standing at the side of the bridge, leaving a narrow gap for all of us to cross! They did not scare us but...i was scared by 长舌鬼 after taking this photo with him!

The trail was fun! A group of youngsters were walking in front of us so we had 'protection'..hhhee..

When Night Safari was about to close at 12am, all the ghouls came back to the main entrance and we had a chance get close to them~




SCB with the poor guy cramped inside the trolley..


Ang Mo disguised in Chinese Vampire Suit?


Oh.. i love her.. such a pretty ghoul..

I truly enjoy this bdae treat. Thanks to SCB!!


I didn't know halloween can be so interesting..hehe.. I hope to visit HK next year to enjoy their happening halloween atmosphere =)

Oh ya... Night Safari... so where are the animals?

Here's one:


(:P)

Sentosa with Chewy..

It's me~ with a rabbit airbrush tattoo.. i find it cute! Too bad it's gone after 4 days.
















My dearest friend's bf has a coy family day carnival at Sentosa and it's was a great event. Wow... they have all kinds of booth from food to games to massage all for free! There were also fringe sea activities like kayaking & 'ball rolling?' (1 person get inside a transparent ball and roll out to the water..Chew said they look like hamsters in a ball,haha). I was fascinated that there were people walking around, taking free polaroid photos of you and your family/friend.

Sorta miss Sentosa after the short visit with Chew...(though i'm not a 'sunny' person)

I feel sorry for this mother

This mother cried while asking me for advice..

A pathetic mother of 2 who is undergoing a divorce..

Once her flat is sold, she does not know where she could stay..

Rental flat is out of the qns because she will gain a profit after sales of her current flat..

Her only choices were to rent a place or to stay with her relatives.
Relatives.... impossible... because she is M'sian and all her relatives are in Malaysia.
which means she will have to rent a place...

She has to work or else her savings will be wiped out soon..

work.. who is going to take care of her children? Her only choice is to place them under the care of a student care centre

Sigh................ the above stories................ i have heard it quite a few times
Everytime, i sympathised with them..

it's hard to face a broken family
moreover w/o a place of your own..
coping alone with dependents....
not to mention emotional stress and loneliness that you have to face.

It's like a battle that you have to fight on your own. 'Be Strong' are the words you have to keep in mind or else what may come next could be depression --> negligence --> children who will suffer

so People.. pls be sure before you form a family... it's not just you.. it involves responsibilities for a lifetime.

A Fun Workout - what have i learnt?

Badminton is fun! I had 2 badminton sessions with my colleagues for the past 2 weeks and strained my arm for both sessions. However, it was a great workout! it's one of the best ways to make lazy bum bum me to exercise more.

We had no net for the first session so for the 2nd session, we stacked 2 piles of chairs, placed them at 2 ends and tied a 'net' in the middle with string.

(This shows how creative human can be to achieve their goal)

I was more alert in the 2nd session than the 1st. Thanks to the existence of a net.
I was also exercising more, stretching myself further, aiming each hit with the right strength so it does not fall out of line. Thanks to the existence a net which creates the scoring system.
Overall, i feel more satisfied with myself. Yes, thanks to the dearest net.

(This shows when a defined goal is set in your life, you will work harder in life)

As there were 5 of us, one person from the losing team will have to exchange position with the scorer. Sadly, i find it harder to keep count of the scores than to play badminton because i have to see if the ball goes undernet, keep counts in my head, analyse a bit and daydream a bit...

(This proves that i cannot multi-task....sobz....)

暴殄天物???

i was making myself comfortable in the sbs bus with 3 bags of stuffs and looked up...

2 guys were standing diagonally in front of me.

Hmm... from their back, 应该长得不错。

one turned to his side..

WA! Handsome sia... (side view)

The other turned his face ard to reply his dear 'side-hand handsome' guy.

WA SET! 2 HANDSOME guys!!

*faint* very rare,hahaha (laughing in my heart)

since they not looking at my direction, i secretly stared at them.

and............ i have a funny feeling... based on their action....... unusual man behavior......

Mr Handsome A was trying to chat with Mr Handsome B. The way he waves his hand while talking to his Mr Handsome B........ hmm............. a tad girly.....

The way Mr Handsome B holds the pole...his left hand with his right hand holding on to the wrist of his left hand looks.............grree...................hmm... carrying a shoulder black bag.... gee......

天啊！if they are what i guessed to be.. wasted... really wasted...

Handsome face..Tick
Great hair...Tick
Clear complexion..Tick
Muscular Biceps...Tick
All physical criteria of a dream guy fulfiled. Shit.. really a waste.

At this very moment, i feel the world is indeed a fair world.

Too bad, the mystery of their liking remains a mystery. =)

i hate event..haha

Event. . . .they never turn out to be what you expected to be.

That's why i do not like to organise events/projects as it will never turn out what is written on your piece of paper called project flow.

This is what happened today. Supposedly i should get complimentary parking tickets for the GOH first thing in the morning (Super easy task) but here say dun have, there say dun have. Yet my little piece of A4 size paper clearly instructed:" to get XXX from XXX." I wonder where and when does the communication breakdown btw their mgmt occurs.

The 2nd thing i need to do is to be carpark girl for GOH. Faint.. GOH late... super late... i did not need to do my 3rd task, have to dump to others & concentrated being a carpark girl until the desired carplate appears in front of me.

Actually the above are just egs of how thing always screwed up and turned out to be different during a project. This is when your 随机应变 comes in. GOSH... i must frankly say i do not have that kinda talent in me.

In a way, i need things to be tidy, neat and well-planned.......plan screws, i screw. Hahaa.. hate to be screwed feeling.

But i'm glad the project turned out to be a success. That's why i feel how wonderful and talented my grp of colleagues are. No matter what happened, we braved storms together and helped one another at times.

Next up will be the rice distribution project and end of year project.. Hope all of us will continue to work with a smile~

Pretty View & Creatures At Sungei Buloh

Finally i visited Sungei Buloh!!
Luckily we have a guide to bring us ard, explaining to us the fauna & flora of the place...













Here are the creatures the guide has spotted and truly makes me go WOW!!


VIPER!!!!!! (Very poisonous... u can die in 5 mins after a bite from him)
It's funny that ppl just walk by without knowing this super poisonous snake is just quietly besides the stone track..he really look damn fierce!













The Beautiful Dancing Green Snake.....














The Malayan Lizard













The above creatures were just besides the walking track. I wonder if they will walk across the track and scares people..
Spotting and Observing them within the nature is a simple pleasure for me. The nature walk will not be as meaningful if they are hidden from my eyes.

Nice Bosses

Nice Bosses are hard to come by at times..and i'm really fortunate to have 2 nice bosses in my workplace (^_^)

No matter how our clients complain abt us, my big boss will not blame us unnecessarily. She will allow us to explain and even tell us her own experiences...

I admire my other boss too. Today she taught me how to help cases from a holistic angle which i have neglected. In our line, we have to often tell ourselves to have the heart to help so we can encourage and provide proper advice and help to them. This mindset sometimes slips past due to workload and the urgency to close the case. Through her, i realise a word of encouragement can be considered a great amt of help too =)

Besides looking at cases from a holistic angle, i must teach myself to be more patient too. Today i was pek cek with a call-in simply because of our diff definition of single-parent. After cooling down, i realise i should have been more patient and use a better tone..

I do hope i can be better in case management.. there's still so much for me to learn from my colleagues, seniors and superior =P JiayoU!

煎熬

It's Friday!!

It's going to be end of the week soon and it's Friday! A day i love the best...

Yesterday was a great day as I learnt a lot =)
Xin & I signed up for a baking class.. hee.. i hope she learnt a lot like me too.
It's amazing how much i have learnt on baking..... and it's feels great to be one of the first to finish the first baking product as i was normally one of the slowest. Hehe..
Everything else was also quite smooth~

It's a pity i didn't bring my camera to shoot our lovely and tasty products~

Work wise, there were so many walk-ins this week!! My colleague says...it could be due to the one-week holiday.......

OH........

I realise ppl change as they grow up, including me.....
last time i dun like lady fingers but amazingly, i do kinda accept them now..
last time i spent a lot on food but now.. i feel the simplest food also makes me happy..
last time i used to be quite talkative to close friends but i have somehow tone down a lot...
last time i think a lot for others but i feel self-care is impt instead...
last time i neglected my parents but now.. they are gems to me..
(on a side note, my close fren used to like bread and wana open a bakery but she dun now!!)

But of course some things will nv change..
I still hate to run no matter what..
I still eat & walk slowly..
I still treat close friends with sincerity..
I still want to have happiness everyday..

Hmm.. i wonder what will change in the next phase of my life. =)

You will be fine..

For the past one week, he tores my heart apart..

Most of the time, i wanted to swallow my pain alone but i'm glad to have my best friend asking me if i'm fine every morning.

风水轮流转..

While i'm okay now & then it's my best friend..

He definitely can get thru it like me. I know he's strong and peace will come after storm...
I can't help you much but i'm always here whenever u need emotional support!!!!
Most imptly, be aware of what you really want..........whatever that makes you happier =)

i feel like going to Malacca

Extended Hours of Work

Sigh yo... i'm doing extended hrs of duty from 6pm to 9pm..

But it's very quiet here with only 5 staffs ard..

Yawn.....

Thought of going somewhere away from work.. always have this tot.. it shows how much i dun like to work (i think many ppl think the same as me!)

I'm looking forward to Dim Sum & movie with my colleagues this friday!

Meeting Sec friends this friday too!

and shopping this Weekend!!

Prior to this period, i was in a state whereby i didnt really like my work env as it is too depressing..

However, i hope i will maintain my current state - just simply bo chap and be contented.

I thank my friends (esp buddy & scb) & kai who were there with me whenever i felt work is depressing. =D

Sometimes i guess i have to remind myself that i am actually very fortunate.. compared to the clients that i have been helping.. sometimes a case can give me such an impact that i reflected on my negative thinkings. I'm glad that i am still healthy with a job, with a family, with good friends =)

Sometimes it's just the angle you look at something. From another angle, my work env is really not bad. I have to admit that there were times that i felt 麻木assisting my clients.. but now i feel it's really a meaningful job!

It's one of my blabbering email again...hahahaa...
