BUT, now that school's starting, TOO many things have been happening,
and things that i never wanna forget. this is my only outlet whereby i can look back on these events and relish in each piece of memory anytime i want to!
Hot Tub Time Machine Movie Preview
Managed to get tickets for this show as a mini surprise for Mr J since i've been so caught up with work & school stuff - and feeling guilty about it.
Although it was just a simple movie, we managed to catch it weeks before anyone else,
and it was such a good laugh-out-loud movie!!
can't remember when we laughed so hard over all the stupid scenes! i just adore movies like this.
stupidly funny!! =D couple more coming our way as well i.e Grown Ups
Along with it we had free flow popcorn & drinks PLUS a $25 resorts world voucher which we haven't got around to spending it yet.. not a bad deal in fact! hee!
STYLE'S 20th!
style, some people still dunno why we call each other that, but its a very meaningful name! hahaha imagine 30 years down the road, and we'll be like 50, and still calling each other STYLE!
sure gonna be super funny!! =DD
style, we've been frens since we first met in netball as two super ultimate slackers + excuse queens, that was why we clique so well!! hahaha.
dunno why we 3 times a week always at 3pm during warm-up session will always have stomachache one! HAHA! xD
and those stayovers at school cos of netball camps, your fully loaded phone with all the songs,
those late-night chats on the phone along the hall staircase, the chalet which we both dreaded cos we had to sing some silly graduation song! and finally, our 16th birthdays, o levels, all through till poly, our 17th,18th,19th birthday. & now we're both in uni, & our 20th birthday! =D
although along the way, we may have times that we weren't so close, just casual frens, only catching up during one of our birthday celebrations, but ultimately, you've always been there for me style!!
from the times we feel sian at work,
from the times the boyfriends always giving us problems,
from the times we ourselves face our own set of problems,
and from all our PMS MODES! hahaha.
its been so so nice to have a listening pair of ears, & more importantly, an iphone to sms!!
so style, thanks for the many years of friendship & the many funny memories that we can look back to!! its just too many, and its all damn memorable!
tell me, which two crazy people will try to chase Fiona Xie all the way from orchard to bugis? with no guarantee she's even there? which two people will always stop by the community club toilet after lunch? or sit at the 7-11's entrance to their storeroom & cause inconvenience for them while we enjoy our cup noodles! - sit for 3 hours summore!
so while we're adding to the many memories that us STYLES & our good friends nicole & HM have helped to create, here's just one more to add to that growing pile:
after style's lesson on thurs,
nicole & I had this amazing plan to surprise her by hiding at her place till she got home.
the surprise was nearly ruined when she got on the bus earlier than we planned.
so even with a car at hand, we had limited time to get there.
thank gawd we made it there before she did, with the cake & all, and surprised her right in her own living room!
as small as our group was, i believe it meant as much to her as well!
the cake bought by nicole was damn delicious!
after which, dunno why the mahjong set came into the picture, & ms nicole had 4 highly experienced SHIFUs to impart the skill of mahjong to her.
she played her virgin mahjong game at approximately 2.15am that night. =D
& as always, mahjong ALWAYS leaves you craving for supper, especially in the middle of the night, so we headed down for porridge which was still opened at amk ave 10.
had such a satisfying supper~
sat there & decided where to head after that cos we decided NO SLEEP for us all, despite us having camp, work & driving lesson respectively the next morning.
finally decided on prawning cos as per claimed by style & glen, prawns are most awake at 4am,
so our chances of hooking them up are higher.
so it was off to prawning!
after supper~!
we decided to get 3 rods, an hour each, but style casually asked if there was any discount on her birthday, and OMG! WE HAD AN EXTRA ROD FOR FREE!!!!!
not only that, the uncle didn't stop us at exactly an hour after, but gave us an additional half hour~! oh loves that uncle ttm! sucha sweetie!!
he sure knows how to make us oh-so-happy & gave style sucha good birthday present! haha!
it was a competition that night, DUDES vs BABES!
2 rods for each team, winning team = the one that catches the most prawns.
although the guys caught bigger prawns, while we caught shrimp-like prawns, ours amounted to so much more than theirs! it was a clear win! =D
i love catching prawn, but hate hooking the bait, taking the prawn out of the hook, washing the prawn, BBQ-ing the prawn & eating the prawn. LOLS!
quite a useless prawner.
Nicole was queen of prawners that night, every single time she touched a rod, a prawn got hooked! hahaha! she's was our tactic to winning!
after 1.5 hours, 4 rods, 5 prawning enthusiasts, we ended up with a GRAND TOTAL of 25 prawns! OWNAGE!
BBQ-ing in progress.
2 mega-ginormous PRAWNS for the day, and plenty other medium& small prawns!
pity that me & baby had to rush off earlier cos the car needed to be back by 6.30.
but it was such a great night!
its been too long since we went impromptu on something,
but the thrill in hecking care about any consequences the next day, the rush of having these late-night outings, i feel young once again! mwahahaha!
oh, & an extremely lovable kitty cat at the prawning place that really knew how to suck up to strangers!! guess it pretty much figured that would get it free BBQ-ed prawns! heh, clever kitty!
& that pretty much sums up the night,
i went to work zombie-fied the next day.
dozed off countless of times in front of the computer without knowing, and right when i hit the bed at 7pm that night, i slept through till morning!!
BOWLING EVENT with ZEBRA:
yeah, zebra here meaning the name of the company that i have been working in for the past 6 months, not the animal.
the welfare for this company is really power.
bowling even for team bonding~!
after months of preparation, it finally ended with sweet success, with many actually having more fun than they had expected.
9 teams, average of 4/5 per team, 2 bowling games.
as much as i really hate bowling cos i feel it is one sport which i can never get hold of,
i actually managed to hit quite a few pins down during the two games, when i started off rolling every single ball into the bloody longang!
chipped off 3 of my nails that night - painful!
but surrounded by strong teams on the left & right of us, we never failed to carry on & encourage each other. it was such good team effort!! so proud to have you guys in my team! =))
surprisingly, we managed to clinch 3rd place for the first round of games, but came in 5th in the final score tabulation, which was the average of two games!
it was a great event that night, but a busy night as well as i had to rush down to style's place immediately after.
Jieying, this amazing & clever girl that i got to know while working at zebra, left one week before me :((
as a SMU business student, she was interning at zebra under HR, & an extremely hardworking & funny person! sweet in nature too! hahaha yes JY, talking about you!
my favourite lunch buddy & a good friend in years to come!
Her last day of work fell on national day weekend!
we were all so patriotic that day, sporting red tops (& white bottoms for some of us)
it was such a funny sight when the whole group of us went out for lunch that day! hee!
Weili, part of the finance team and an avid camwhorer!
camwhoring is her speciality, and the entire bowling event, she spent most of her time snapping away at her camera than bowling! but if it weren't for her, we wouldn't have such fab pictures to remember the night! =D
Cat, another member of the finance team & lunch budy too!
All of us in red + sherol & thomas(marketing team)
My last day was on a friday,
and as i finished up all the final updatings that i was supposed to do at 4.30pm,
i started clearing all my stuffs and realised how much rubbish i've accumulated over the past 6 months!
newspapers, brochures, lots of snacks lying around, documents & papers.
My entire hour was just sorting, packing, chucking & shredding.
but as i cleared each and every thing from my table, it was like packing up 6 months worth of work.
all the caterings that i had done, all the quotations for the bowling event, courier slips & PR forms, telephone lists & visa applications, all packed up in a single file.
i know i'm gonna miss working here, its not only provided me with a stable income for the past few months, enabling me to splurge on good food & birthdays, even the rare holiday.
but i enjoy what i've been doing, from helping the team to providing the odd help here and there.
i've learnt so much over the past 6 months, and i thank my lucky stars that i was able to be selected as a part-time admin there in feb!
here's to meeting all the FAB people at zebra, and to having a job that i looked forward to going every morning- no matter how much i complain sometimes :)
nearly 3/4 cleared, imagine it if it were full!
i have so much junks..
had to bring home 2 bags of stuff that day!
and i'm running late.
heading for hall FOC today! starts at 6pm and i cannot say how happy i am that alice is gonna be in my og! if it weren't for that, i dun even think i'll be going for this one!
she fought hard for us to be in the same og while i was in malacca, and its so great we're gonna be in the same group! =D
oh, and this babe is like the COOLEST!
she got us tickets to watch the click five at marina bay promenade last night!
THEY SO ROCK OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW! CLICK FIVE FEVER IS STILL ON!!!
more on that the next time when i get the pictures from her! xD
p/s: goodbye my beloved bed. i'll be missing you badly for the next 5 days! :(
[[ make this a positively beautiful day. ]]
