Another Outing with my Cousins - Part 2

Finally after all the calls direction.. the married couple came.. BUT... er ge cannot come in coz he is in bermudas and sandles aka Slippers... so we all decided to move on to another place... then while deciding on where to go .... we actually thought want to go to Kor's house to play Mahjong... but then Giant and Chris hse is so far away.... so after much talking .... we decided to go to Somerset..

There are a couple of bars beside the Centerpoint shopping center.... so all cramp into er ge's car... and off we went... Reaching there.. once again Alley bar refuse to let him in .. coz he was in Slippers..

Gal : How many ppl ?

Val Jie : 6 of us

Gal take menu and look at us

Gal : I am sorry but he cannot enter coz he is in Slippers

Val Jie : But its expensive slippers la ...

Gal : Cannot. Slippers for Ladies are allow .. but not for guys..

Val Jie : So can we sit outside then...

Gal : Sure

So we went out to look for seats.. but all seems to be occupied with ppl.. excpet for a pathway....

Val Jie : Cancan we sit here..

Gal : arrr hmmmmm.. wait let me check

Val Jie : Can la ... its still under your shop rental what...

Gal went and ask Manager....

Gal : Can .. sure no problem ... u can sit there.

Val Jie : Ok move table.... and chairs...

So we move table and chairs ourselves... while the gal went to get drinks menu for us ... she came back with several flimsy looking menu and as we are deciding on what to drink .... er sao recommanded some drinks.. that is call Forzen Dairiquri.. or something like that... you can choose different flavour.. like Strawberry... Kiwi.. Lime.. Mango.. Lychee... Peppermint.. and a couple more.. I think the liquore use is Rum ...

The drink is not really much of alcohol.. but more like Fruit juice.. with a little alcohol... which is good... coz since my birthday.. I dare not drink too much ... coz scare to throw up.. wahaha ...

So finally all drinks settle.. and er ge was like .. the drinks selection here is really few.. nothing much ... beer only have 2 choice...

Val Jie : You have fan here ?

Black and White Stripe Gal : Nope... and I wonder how u end up sitting here?

Val Jie : Coz they do not allow us to go in .. as he is wearing Sandles

Black and White Stripe Gal : For Ladies u can wear sandle.. but for males.. u have to have cover shoes

Er ge : Track Shoes can or not?

Black and White Stripe Gal : Can... as long as is cover shoes for guys...

Er ge : I think I got track shoes in the car

Black and White Stripe Gal : ok... we have seats inside

Then she walk away... er ge then went to his car to change into his track shoes.. then I was like.....

Me : er sao.. I thought he say he want to change pub ?

Er Sao : How I know him ...

Val Jie : Your Hubby la...

All : WAHAHHAH

Er Sao took out mobile to call him and also ask him to check if the ICE COLD Beer got place or not....

After a while .. er ge came back with his track shoes.. and all of us are impress. coz he actually have 1 pair inside.. lol... the Black and White Stripe Gal then move us all inside to the air con area.. wow that was nice.. even with sofa seats.. so comfortable....

We then start talking ... on how the elders know we cousin are coming out together... so after all the checking ... we conculded that the elders.. the communcation also very fast... and consider the fact that they only find out at about 5.30pm on Sat.. by 6.30pm almost every elders knows we are going out that night...

CLAP CLAP for the communcation... FIRST CLASS AIR MAN ... wahahaha

After a drink there.. we decided to go to another pub .. so we went to Emerald Hill 5.. suprising there was not much ppl there.. the guys went over first.. as we ladies have not finish our drinks... reaching there... we all I think is too full from all the drinks to drink anymore.. so I order a non- alcoholic drink... Shirly Temple and Chis order Coke.. wahaha ... and it cost like S$7.00 per glass.. expensive man .. but really do not feel like having anymore alcohol inside us... and we start eating peanuts... yes they provide peanuts for ppl to consume and u can throw the shells on the floor..

So I have a peanut shell war with Giant... keep on thorwing at him .. then we suggested going to KTV... but er ge look so tired... but after much talking and saying... we are FINALLY DECIDED TO GO KTV AT 1.30AM IN THE MORNING... LALAL

so off we walk to cinelesiure... lala to KBOX... and u will be suprise that the place is full and I also found out that there are 2 KBOX outlet at cinelesire... 1 on the 8th Floor and the other on the 4th Floor... and we found out .. coz I wanted to go the the washroom.. so we went to the 4th floor one as we cannot find the washroom on the 8th floor.... hehehe and there no need to wait.. they have rooms free.. so we cancel the reservations on the 8th and went to the one on the 4th...

There we start singing at about 1.45 am all the way till 4 am in the morning... Giant was singing all the sad love songs.. hiazzz.... not sure if he is still feeling hurt of his break-up last year... but it was quiet funny.. with my er sao .. choosing all the songs.. that she can only sing the chorus or only a few of the lines of the song...

Er ge... is the singer of the night.. wow he is powerful man .. can sing both canto and chinese songs.. lol... Fianlly out KTV plan is in action.. even though it was not a plan one.. lol...

Last night went out with my usual gang of cousin (Mum's side) ... the last time we went out .. it was in May and to MOS we went... so this time round .. we decided to have just a chill out night... the actual plan was to go for coffee... but then we ended up on Q Bar... at the Old Parliment House ... a nice place beside the Singapore River... opp the Boat Quay....

Before meeting to go for drinks... we actually have a family dinner ...(Mum's side) but some of my cousin did not go due to other commitments... hehe ... so while we are having dinner.. it seems that everyone in the Family knew we are going out together that night.... but my and Giant never say anything .. so we both just arrange within ourself with er ge and er sao... the 2 of them saying meeting friends first and later then joining us .... so me and Giant decided to take a slow walk to the train station and then slowing walk down to Q Bar.... coz we have so much for dinner and we are stuffing full on it ....

As we are walking to the MRT... Val Jie sms me ...

Jie SMS : What r u wearing?

Me decided to call her back as too lazy to sms back lor ...

Jie : Hello

Me: Wear gown la ...

Jie : I got la.. I still got my ROM gown ...

Me : *Mouth open wide and stunt*

Me : Aiyo please la .... wear anything la..

Jie : That is why I need to know what you wearing so that I can think of what to wear mah ..

Me : Me in 3/4 Jeans and a top and Birkenstock slippers lor...

Jie : ok ... then I know what to wear liao ...

After we hang up on the phone... I realise that I was walking really fast to keep up with Giant...

Me : Kor can you walk slowly or not .. Yout legs long ... mine short la ...

Giant : mmmm

Yes .. he is a man of few words... but then he is quite funny la .. when one get to know him.... I call him Giant .. coz he is really tall and has huge feets.. but he is NOT NOT NOT FAT at all... There was once we put his feet beside my little cousin feet... it was like so funny.. a Giant and a mouse.... and my Big Jie even took a photo of it ....

All the way to the MRT.. Both us was saying to each other.. how full we are.. how I was going to burst liao ..and so on so forth... then I ask him about his studies and he say he still got 8 - 9 more months to go ... wow so fast.. coz the last time I ask him .. He told me still in first year... and then after ITE.. he is going to Poly... Giant Kor .. Kambata... you can do it ..

In the train .. my distrub Giant buttom is one...

Me: Kor... Wow go poly you will be the oldest in the class once again... OLD MAN

Kor : No hor... now first year students in ITE also got older then me one liao hor ...

Me: Why la ?

Kor : Most of them sign on with Army and Navy.. some like 30, 31 years old...

Me: *just giggle*

Then we are on to a next topic... which sadly my memory fail me so cannot remember liao ....

Finally we reach Raffles Place MRT.. as I wanted to go to ATM... to draw $$ so we walk there lor ... no ppl.. so happy.. then again .. 8.45 pm in Raffles place.. got what ppl... except for those lovebirds sitting outside the big grass patch ... talking or more whispering... think only mossie can hear if not fly lor ...

Seeing that the time was still early.. we just slowing walk again lor ... cross the bridge infront of the Fullerton Hotel... and then pass the Indochin waterfront ... and then next to it was Q Bar... once cannot miss it one la... they have like 3 - 4 big Qs outside of the bar... and as I rush out house last night.. forget my cam.. and lazy to take with my phone .. so no photos.. this time... hiazzzzz

We walk to the sign board and it says.. smart causal ... I look at myself.. and then I ask Giant

Me : Kor you think .. I can wear like this go ...

He just look at me and smile....

Me : I think can la... gals... sure can one la ...

Kor : Lets go in later.. wait for them to come first...

Me : Ok.. lets go there and sit down lor ...* pointing to the stone bench*

There was a little breeze.. so not so warm la .. then my kor was like .. even the breeze also not cold one....

Me : ...................... ==.==''"

So sitting on the bench ... we are saying wonder if can go in like that... coz everyone inside seems to be dressing so nicely....

Kor : Yeah lor .. u wear like going downstaris to buy something like that...

Me : WHAT !!! my slippers very expensive one hor... its Birkenstock....

Kor : Yeah mah ... u really wear like that lor...

Me : Where got ppl wear so expensive and new slippers to go downstair buy things...

Then from afar .. we see my cousin coming .... my younger cousin Chris.. was wearing nice.. but Val Jie... was wearing same like me .. except.. she was wearing Jeans.. and her top was like fading... and she was like

Jie : NO Hor.... This is mango one la....

We all just laugh and then went to Q Bar... manage to get inside and wanted a sofa seat.. so the waiter was like no more sofa seats... u can go inside.. there are more seats inside... we went in and there was no seats.. so we walk out again ... and this time .. my Jie was in a bitchy mood... so the watier kanna scolding from her lor ... sever him right.. but then hor she scold the one .. was another guy and not the one that make us walk in and out ....

They manged to get a place for us on the tall high stools.. which I hated to seat.. coz scare to fall down .. but mai care la.. seat first... maybe later can change... then we decided on the drinks ... wow looking at the menu .. they have tots have Vodak.. wow till yesterday then I know .. there are so many vodak in the world...and almost all my life.. I only drink Abdolut Vodak.. the most common one ...

Finally settle on a the Diva Gem Filtered... as per Chris.. that she read in a magazine.. it's the best Vodak in the world.. wow so have to try la I added Rabenia inside.. and told them no Cranberry Juice ha.. Val Jie order a Lychee Matini... Giant tried a one call Q Sling.. wahah copy Singapore Sling ... and Chris had... some Cholocate Martini...

So when the drinks came.. Val Jie Martini was nice... Kor's Q Sling looks like fruit punch .. but also taste nice... mine Vodak Rabenia was so stong and thick ... and Chirs Choclate Martini was like so so so horrible... maybe to us la .. but to other it might be good.. coz on the drinks menu.. there was good sign beside it ...

Order some food to go with the drinks while waiting for the married couple...

Lagging.. Feeling Total Down

I know I have been lagging in updating my blog and also in tons of things I am suppose to do .. I think I might have reach my maximum as I snap at ppl today and yesterday. I know my temper got the better of me .. but I simply cannot help it coz ppl are doing things to piss me big time off.. I am normally not like that.. but then I cannot seem to help it .. when after 3 days off I come back to office to find things going hay wired and even when I am on OFF.. ppl have to call me .. when have I call ppl on a OFF day to distrub them ... unless it coz I want a personal chat or that I want to distrub them ... other then that.. I all like about guest things that cannot be wait ....

I am sometimes thinking to myself... issit that things cannot function when I am not around ... makes me seems like I am indispensable... but the truth as what Lee HsienYang no one is indispensable.. everyone can be replace in terms of work.. but maybe not in terms of other aspact.

I think I am to the moment of snapping and yesterday and today was the day I snap about work... After a talk with Saeedah... I know I am being too harsh to Mas... but then its really annoying that she makes all the mistake and then come over to the Residence and laugh and joke like nothing the mistake... Frankly speaking as what I told Saeedah just now ....that 2 of us are not paid to do up other ppl's mistake and job.. and its not tiring.. I am totally sick and tired of it ... and when we undo a mistake for some one.. who is there to thank us and when the person makes the mistake .. u tell the ppl and she is like super bo chap (do not care). I know Mas has her good points and also bad points.. like every other human being.. but that does not mean that because we are short of manpower we have to endure all these mistake and let them carry on with it....

Sometimes I think Saeedah side with them too much ... I mean she wants to go on OFF I also want and she does not want this does not want them to work on certains days..... then she scare that they make mistake... so how ... work la... then say what all the days of hugh occ ... be it check in or check out .. she says she has been working all of it and I have not been .... I mean look at it this way... I am also ... working and clocking in longer hours then anyone... ask me to come back on a OFF day.. I sure come back one... but then too much for me to handle.. Want me to do DHL... so no choice la .. I do lor...

Anyway today I told everyone on how I feel about the whole thing... with my best friend 2nd income on the MLM.. I told her about how I feel about her going to find out aunt and bringing a total stranger to her home... She was like telling me .. My aunt could have told her not.. I was like how to say no when u are her niece.... she kept quiet.. so I told her... in future please do not do that.. as I really do not like it when she does that... coz its like making use of ppl .. so she have already promise me .. so ok I am fine with that...

And on a Happy Note... I have a new tu di again ... but okie la.... this one ... she is really cute.. I mean she is like my sister... 5 years younger then me .. so I am okie lor with her... guess I tend to treat ppl younger then me nicer.. coz they are like my sister... and I love my sister.. though we sometimes do not see eye to eye... hehe.... so when they are generally younger then me and especially 5 years.. so its like its my younger sister... hehehe...

With work load just getting heavier and also more stressful... I think that is the reason why I finally snap yesterday... do not mean to do it ... but just that like I say... I AM SICK AND TIRED OF CLEARING PPL'S MESS.... I am sorry if I am rude or fierce yesterday.... but then... things just happened.. I am not saying anyone is to be blame.. but then ... its all just happened...

Some Feelings .......

Was reading through my tu di’s blog the other day and found out something … she thinks we are not happy about her passing her report to ppl to do … I do not when she first started here at Insead… it true that she was new and had to take over a lot of things… but she all this were what have talk about and then pass on …. But the fact is I did not know she was holding on to so many reports. The thing that I was mad… was that she did not discuss with me before she hand over to ppl coz I have to see certain ppl’s ability before I am able to know if they can do the reports. As for Jessica, she was able to potray her learning and accepting changes and also she was able to handle all the things that was given to her… and on top of that she was a fast learner…

If she would have told me long ago that she was not able to handle all the reports given to her.. I would have help her to do it even with my heavy job load… coz she is my tu di … and its my duty and also I want to make sure she was happy being at work. But all cannot be change as she have resign.... as she is going back to school and on top of that… she has also come back to work part time for us to pay for her school fees… I know its going to be hard on her… but I think she just have to endure and try her best … I know she can do it and I give her my blessing… If you are reading this… please come and ask me for help on projects or anything… coz I Tourism is my strength… hehe thought have to revised a bit now .. but I am sure I can do it …

Things in office seems to get better … that is what I hope…new gal coming in next week and its Cheryl’s friend… I am training the new gal …wow 1 more tu di for me .. I think so far I have like 4 of them … all have different strength and weakness…but hor.. I think I have trained so many ppl… I also do not know what I am training liao … so have to really give in depth training…

A new post have come up in the office… which is almost like the one that Angie is doing.. but then hor .. me really not interested in it la .. coz seems like a super boring job…. I know ppl care for me and have ask me to try but then I am really not interested in it … and some more I now love my new boss and what I am doing … its makes me happier .. Do not mind that it’s a normal working hours… but then cannot travel cannot do a lot of things.. so really not interested…

Been watching a lot of movies lately .. but the most lame movie that I watch by far is the show recycle… so super boring and lame … the whole show is totally not even a ghost movie.. wastes my S$5.00 and also my tickets in purchase the movies for my friends.. so we can watch cheap movies anytime of the week… lucky did not pay S$ 8.50 or S$ 9.50 for the movie… heng har… lol…

For Someone

Looking back at somethings that I have done in life... I kind of regret it ... like not cherising the ppl around me .. not loving someone whole heartly and also being mean and rude and also pissing ppl off big time .. but then my heart really do not mean to be like that... just that defence will gear up around me when things do not go my way.. or that i get angry and piss of by ppl...

I think I am the kind of gal who loves to be care about and also who loves ppl to chit chat with when I am down and out ... I cannot keep to myself not can I suffer in silent... I am those who likes to scold... shout .. quarrel and have someone to quarrel back .. instead of keeping silent... but then I am also those that during quarrel... no point in talking sense to me ...

Coz I do not allow that... but after the whole thing I will cool down and then everything make sense to me...maybe that is why my best friend say that I am stubborn and head strong.. ppl who know me knows that I am like that... and what we noramlly say... even though I am fierce and strong on the outside... actually hor... I am soft hearted and easily melted inside.... That is why I am easy to hong one lor...

I am those who eat the carrot and not the stick method...

Someone was telling me the other day that telling a white lie is better then hurting the person .. even thought you know that telling the truth is so much better ... but then given my strong Char... I guess most ppl know what I will choose... I choose to lie...

Didicated to someone.... and u know who u are

Sorry that I have to lie to you as there is no other options there is for me .. I wanted you to move on in life and also to leave all burden that once hold me and u down but I guess the lie came in with or without me .. coz I think you move on before I told the lie ... but the lie make it more comfortable to move on... ... I also want you to be happy. Seeing you happy with that special someones really makes me happy.. and I am gald to you for that... I hope you have stop drinking and all...

I know u are happy for me ... When I told you that... but when u keep on asking about it... I totally got no answers for certain question ... so the best is to avoid....

Even though you are younger then me ... but I know u care for me ... thanks for all the time and moments that you have gave me... Frankly speaking... thanks for caring for me when I was down and out.

Thanks for making me laugh with your lame jokes... but its really funny... I cry the hardest that one time and I was suprise that I am not ashamed to cry infront of you thought we were only friends....

Thanks for the care and love you once gave to me ... and I hope everything is blissful and wonderful for you... I am sure u have found your true love and to see the smile on your face is a wonderful memory that I will keep for years to come...

All the best to the future and Take Care....
