Celebrating Xiaoxuan's Birthday at Fish&Co. Glasshouse. The waitresses there were a fun lot~! One of them (I think so is one of the managers) actually got Xiaoxuan to stand on the chair, holding a fire sparkler with we, and the team of waitresses shouted cheers and sang her a birthday song.... haha.... quite a surprise for both Xiaoxuan and all of us... But its fun~! Too bad we were so caught by surprise that we totally forgot to take any photos or videos on what happened....haha... Anyway, Happy Birthday Xiaoxuan~!
This photo is so out of proportion... Told the waitress to help us take a pic... I think she is more interested in getting the Fish&Co logo into the pic....=P
And why is Xiaoxuan hiding behind me~!

Freaking Shag....

Wah~! I haven't been so tired for a long, long time.... On the request of Din, worked at SB-Liat Tower in the afternoon. The crowd was never-ending~! I was manning the Frap Station and the drink orders just keep coming in....non-stop~! haha... There's so many new drinks now and different ways of marking the cups and calling the drinks.... I'm confused~! Well, actually the ways to make the drinks are more or less the same lah... they just change the marking and names to make it look complicated. At least I'm able to make all the drinks... my only problem is cup marking... =P Oh, and I was there at the Frap Station for a solid 5 hours. No toilet break. No teabreak. No water. No nothing. Just keep making drinks and for once, I felt like the Cogs of a Machine... (like what we learn in Sociology ).... Okie lah... end of the day, I think its quite fun lah. Its fun because I only work like once in a blue, blue moon when Din is desperate for help. I can't imagine working there everyday.... =P

After that, I rushed to my dad's stall to help him... sianz.... working again.... this time at the Hawker Centre. But at least this one is easier. Don't have to be so nice and smiley. Just give people their food can already. But its still very tiring. Surprisingly, I only ate a bun in the morning, and I didn't feel hungry until at about 8pm.... This is the result of working too hard...so much so that I forgot about my hunger... =P

Alright, no more energy already... going to sleep.....zzzzz

Busy bee....

Been really, really busy..... just look at when I last updated my blog and you could have guessed.... So much stuffs have happened and I don't really know where to start... Let's start with the event.
28th Oct 2006: City Venture is finally completed. I would say that it was a success, given that it was executed as planned. Of course, some things didn't go so well and we have some complaints here and there but I guess that's just life. We can't make everyone happy. Debriefed the Planning Committee after the event and they realised their mistakes and shortcomings. I think that's the most important thing. As long as they learn from their mistakes and grow from it, then all the bad things that happened will be worth it. And also, the happenings at the event proved my theory: Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. Always plan for the worst thing that can happen.

9 Nov 2006: All thanks to Andrew, I got to go for the 8th Singapore Motor Show at Suntec. It was the trade show and not open to the public, so I got the luxury to tour the whole exhibition will minimal fuss. Can slowly take all the photos I want and don't have to squeeze with all the people *okie, there's actually not much ppl at the trade show* I weren't too fascinated by the display as they were mostly cars and only a small segment for bikes. But anyway, its free so I've got nothing to complain. The best part is the Russ Swift stunt driving performance. He is the World's Best Precision Driver and his driving skills are fantastic~!

Don't laugh... this is a REAL car....haha... so cute right....

Just for Laugh... =D

Decided to share this funny story with you guys for some light-hearted laugh!

Don't ever name your dog "Sex"

---------------------------------------------------------

Everybody I know who has a dog usually calls him "Rover" or "Boy." I call mine "Sex."
Now, Sex has been very embarrassing to me.

When I went to the City Hall to renew his dog license, I told the clerk that I would like a license for Sex. He said, "I'd like to have one too." Then I said, "You don't understand. I've had Sex since I was nine years old." He said, "You must have been quite a kid!"

When I got married and went on my honeymoon, I took the dog with me. I told the hotel clerk that I wanted a room for my wife and me, and a special room for Sex. He said, "Every room in the place is for sex." I said, "You don't understand. Sex keeps me awake at night." The clerk said, "Me too."

One day I entered Sex in a contest, but before the competition began, the dog ran away. Another contestant asked me why I was just looking around. I told him I had planned to have Sex in the contest. He told me that I should have sold tickets. "But you don't understand," I said, "I had hoped to have Sex on T.V." He called me a show-off.

When I decided to get married, I told the pastor that I would like to have Sex at the wedding. He told me to wait until after the wedding was over. I said, "But Sex has played a big part in my life and my whole world revolves around Sex." He said he didn't want to hear about my personal life and would not marry us in his church. I told him everyone would enjoy having Sex at the wedding. The next day we were married at the Justice of the Peace. My family is barred from the church from then on.

When my wife and I separated, we went to court to fight for custody of the dog. I said, "Your Honor, I had Sex before I was married." The judge said, "Me too." Then I told him that after I was married, Sex left me. He said, "Me too."

Last night Sex ran off again. I spent hours looking around town for him. A cop came over to me and asked, "What are you doing in the alley at 4 o'clock in the morning?" I said, "I'm looking for Sex."

My case comes up Friday. Well now I've been thrown in jail, been divorced and had more damn troubles with that dog than I ever foresaw.

Why just the other day when I went for my first session with the psychiatrist, she asked me, "What seems to be the trouble?" I replied, "Sex has been my best friend all my life but now it has left me forever. I couldn't live any longer so lonely." And the doctor said, "Look mister, you should understand that sex isn't a man's best friend, so get yourself a dog."

Starbucks

Tuesday's holiday was fun~! On the request of Shirlene, I went to Starbucks Bugis to help out. As it was Hari Raya holidays, a lot of their Partners were unable to work. So me and Shirlene went to help. I should not be helping there cuz I was not from that store, but since Shirlene asked and I have nothing to do, so just go lor.

I have not worked as a Barista for about 4 years plus already. And when I told the Opener, Clemence and the Manager, Eileen, about it, they nearly got heart attack.... hahaha... But I'm pretty okie lah... As in, I still remember how to make all the standard drinks, steam the milk with nice foam, pull good shots (between 18-23 seconds, with 3 clear visible layers), and also all the other standard procedures. I am also surprised at how all these things seem to come back to me by nature... its as if I have been doing it everyday. But I guess that as long as its things you enjoy doing, you will remember it for life.

The crowd was quite mild in the morning but come late morning, more and more people starts to come in. That's when we got a mini SLAM (that's our lingo for endless overwhelming drink orders) at the Bar. I worked pretty well with Shirlene. I'm the BE, she's the BS and we manage to clear the drinks slow and steady... haha... its really fun.

I don't mind helping out again~! If got anymore of such stuffs, must let me know~! hahaha...

Oct SRC MGM and Ahmad's Birthday Celebration~

As usual, we had our Monthly General Meeting on 18 Oct, Wed. Its the usual presentation and experience sharing. I guess most people attend the MGM not for the agendas itself but more for the informal gathering after that. Its nice to see everyone catching up with each other, making new friends and just chatting non-stop. One group of them even celebrated a fellow member's birthday with a cake. =)
Then it was our turn to celebrate birthday. It was Ahmad's birthday~! Birthday celebrations with the Excos are always fun... haha... We went to this Nana Thai Restaurant at Far East for dinner. Suppose to eat chili crab cuz that's Mudd's favourite food but there's no more crab~ -_-" But never mind... its not so much about what we it, but rather, who we were eating with! That's the fun part! =P
The 3 Department Heads.... We are always arguing to get our points across. Wong is almost always the one who kena aimed... But that's because he is usually thinking at a different frequency.... -_-" But amidst all that chaos, we still love each others... hahahaha..... =)

Me and my trusty Deputies... Xiaoxuan and Alan.... What would I do without them? =)
Jing, Sharon and Lionel

After the dinner, we went to Liat Tower Starbucks. Din was there so I managed to get discount for our drinks... hehe... Played Uno and made quite a bit of noise...opps... =P

Its was a fun gathering and I'm definitely looking forward to more to come... Meanwhile, Happy Birthday Ahmad and enjoy the coming Hari Raya~!

Updates...

Its our 6th Year Anniversary~! Celebrated it with Jas on Oct 7~! No expensive gifts or fancy dinner. We are poor students.... haha... But we enjoyed it nonetheless... =)

12 Oct: Met up with my friends from SP. Good old friends whom I went to Japan with for my Job Attachment. Its been a good 6 years....

SIM Blood Donation Drive 2006

Alright, back with more updates on the Blood Donation Drive. Just a brief intro... The SIM-UOL Student Representative Council (SRC) organises various activities every year, Blood Donation being one of them. I was last year's Blood Donation Committee IC. This year's IC is Wan Shi. Her team did a great job this year. The publicity was fun and good. The event was a success~! Good job everyone~!

The Doctor and the Nurse... Charles and Wanshi~! They sure catch lots of attention =)
The supporters from other departments.
My turn to donate~! Doing my blood test here.... actually I think this is the most painful part... the actually process was not so pain.... haha....
Okie.... its getting kinda scary....
Was talking to Joan so that I won't look at how the nurse poke my arm... kaoz... really scary lah... though no feeling cuz its already numb but the needle is so thick...=P
My FIRST Blood Donation~!!!! Really not as pain as it seems.... pretty painless... like I say, the most painful part is when they poke my finger tip to get blood for testing.... =P
