HK Day 1
hahah.. live update..
my day 1 in HK..
flight promptly reached at 1020am.. however as it was JETSTAR.. there was no carrier link to airport.. instead we need to walk out to the cold air... and take the so call SHUTTLE Bus, which did a big big loop to the airport entrance.. bobian.. pay how much, get how much service.

nxt, purchase ticket for macau at airport.. called to hotel....
settle check-in lunch and left hotel at abt 3pm.

First Stop:
Tsim Sha Tsui
Frst Activity: Shopping... managed to grab 4 tops which are suitable for wear in SGD..
keep confusing the pricing with TAIWAN pricing which is so so different.. as taiwan is much more cheaper.
Next: Dinner at SOGO, went to the harbour to see the symphony under the star and the avenues of stars...

Lastly: dessert at Xu Liu Shang... i ate Xue Ge with Birdnest... and finally shopping at Temple Street.

Phew! Its over..
Phew... my highly anticipated software review is finally over on the 15th of Feb...
haiz.. but its not really a good day for me...
The review was held after lunch, at 0230pm. I was assigned to write the minutes for this review... bobian.. boss asked "can you help to write the minutes for this review?", what other answers can i have le... no choice have to agree...

The review started promptly at 0230pm and there were 3 invited reviewers. 15min in the midst of review.. i was feeling very uncomfortable.. initially thought that i might be too nervous as i have a portion in presenting.. so maybe drinking some warm coffee might calm me down... but i wrong again....
30minutes later i ran to the washroom.. and finally vomitted..... haiz i suspect its my lunch.. i cant do much.. i went back for the review again.... in the mid of its.. vomitted few times.. stupid me.. damn lousy... first offical review and i screwed it up..
Luckily i managed to present my part smoothly...
The review lasted 3hrs+ at 6pm. Director came to me say need the minutes urgently by tonight.. so i stayed back till 8pm to write the minutes... my 2 bosses also stayed back wif me.. as they need to vet through my stuff.
However, was quite disappointed in myself.. my first time MINUTES was a totally CMI. Bosses have to edit for me.. so sianz. Usually people are given 2 days to write where i am only given 2 hours or less... nevertheless, my bosses never scold me. *That the cruz of the Guiltiness*... haiz..
To make it worse, i went see the doctor at 8pm++ and was scolded by the doctor for coming so late when i have vomitted so many time...
Not only good things come in doubles, bad things also..

Went home really sick... was damn scared will get admitted to hospital like 3yrs back... luckily did not.. was like a drowsy pig.. sit where sleep where.... but luckily was feeling better on saturday morning and can still got frenz hse Bai Nian...
Have took care of my diet and restrained myself from oily food....

Its really a very very different / special / suay experience.....

I am now looking forward to the GSTC** Seminar and lastly my Hongkong Trip.. can count down le..

**ya ya.. i going to this: Global Space and Technology Convention 08 held in conjunction with the Air Show @ Changi Exhibition Centre.. http://www.gstc-singapore.com/main.html
Per ticket for this conference cost $1500.. damn ex right.. luckily my company staff are given free seats..
Its a 2 days events to relax and know more about the space business/ traffic hahah.. actually i more keen on the air show.. hope have chances to go.. since its held together..

My Valentine Day
well its really a commercialise day..

did not apply leave or take off for it as i was seriously rushing for my software review on the 15th...

thinking of where to go for dinner.. a place where we will be away from the crowd... remembered a building near sci park so drove there.. nothing in mind of what to eat...

found a building called the "The Village Centre" @ South Buona Vista Road... we tried the Fish Mart Sakuraya there.. it definitely a place if you like to eat raw Japanese food.. the Salmon Sashimi there is excellent... and also cheap.

$19 for fresh salmon belly and salmon sashimi is cheap.. esp if the slices are thick... yummy yummy...

My Valentine Present for him:


Yup.. i baked them myself.. not really baked as my hse no oven.. is home-maked cookie... Presentation wise so so lah.. hope it tastes good..

anyway.. the Farm Gang.. don't worry.. you all also have a share of it..

His gift for me:

Nice right... hehehehe.. love it.... as it won't last through the nite.. picture is kept for Remembrance.

Yes, weekend is here..
haiz.. i m sick again.. caught a sudden flu last nite, added in cough n sorethroat in the morning.
attended CNY celebration at HQ, got a free $10 takashimaya voucher frm my colleague before rushing back to ofc to continue my work. Oh forgot to added, i a CONFIRMED staff as at 30th Jan 08, got the offical letter le..
but sad to say, being a confirmed or a probation staff meant no difference as basically there is no increase in salary.

Met fat fat for dinner at vivo, was supposed to pass me some stuff but he forgot to bring..
was quite an enjoyable nite walking ard, chatting, although returning home empty handed again..and except for the cold aircon and weather.
I really tried to relax myself.. not to think much abt anything and just relax relax..get myself into the mood for playing, shopping.. fooling ard..

Anyway, Thanks FAT FAT for your companionship..

phew, so fast.. its the 2nd month of 2008. Feb is the mth to look forward to CNY and also my HK trip. counting counting on the MRT...realised its the 2nd day of the mth again today... a date which is special to me is approaching...
thinking back its haven been a very very very long date, until the aspect that i need to count with my fingers how long is it. cant believe we both been through so much... ups and downs.. high and low... almost gave up last yr and 10x to encouragement and advises frm frenz.. managed to survive.
Since the day, i have been fortunate enough to be dote and care..to be protected and shielded..
and also not to forget to add dote n care by my close frenz too...


looking back at those newly honeymoon phase couples, 1 day quarrel, the next day get together.. the similarity phase which i had gone through before.. advise given will be... endurance, spend a thought for other, put yourself in their shoe..
haha.. easy to say but hard to achieve..but i believed such thing is a 2-sided thing.. juz like you cant slap and produce a sound with one hand..

I believed many of my gd frenz are going through difficult, hard periods in their stage of life now.. i understand like what i experiencing in work now.. tough stage..
but don't forget there are frenz out there who care for you, willing to give u listening ear, lending you a shoulder to lean on.. like what i hve...my gd pals, who stood there wif me when i hve problems.. accompany me..

I am fortunate to hve someone who care n shielded me from harm... frenz out there who are always willing to give me a helping hand.. give me advise when i started to think wild.. be my auntie agony.
Thanks to them.. i can continue be a gal who damn blur and
damn naive thinking....
