Happy Chinese New Year!
This year is slightly different compared to previous years coz i get to invite people to come my house! Yeah! I love having people at my house... maybe is due to the fact that i wasnt really allowed to ask friends over when i was staying with my parents. (My mum didnt really liked it)
This year, after visiting @ my grandma's, my uncles,aunts and cousins came over for a visit.
It was kinda fun,chilling out and playing cards.
And they were quite amazed to see the "before" renovation on the valuation report.
One thing both my Dad & Cousin noticed once they stepped into my house: "Eh, how come no TV?"
hahahah
I wanna invite friends over too!!

Excited
Never before i could recall to being so so excited to board a cab!
It was almost 10pm when we were still waiting around for a cab and having a few people suddenly standing few meters ahead of us hailing for cabs. Arghhh
"please.. i wanna get there before the shop closes.. " i kept thinking to myself.
It was impromtu decision to head to carrefour to get something which I've been thinking of having so some time. (and i think CX doesnt know, well maybe he does.. but i've never repeated it to him like when I've wanted something badly)
The best part is, the decision wasnt made by me.. hahah
Only when we reached did i realised that the staff did not announce those "our shop will be closing in 5 min time.. blah blah".. Guess what? they are opened till mid night today! (all the anxiousness for nothing
anyway... here it is:

Best part is.. after eating... he asked me to go rest, watch TV or play game.. he'll do all the cleaning up.
Opps... i feel so bad.. coz i din give him anything nor helped with anything.
Nevermind, indulge in this while i can... coz I'm sure.. it isnt sunday everyday. heh heh

Coming Home
Do you live in a HBD flat?
Do you have the same feeling as I encounter?
As I walk along the long corridor to my flat, i would be greeted with a series of different scents.
Some units, you'll have nice home cooked food aroma which will make your stomach churn with hunger, another unit will have strong whiff of incense burning, while another will have a aroma-therapy rosewood scent floating from the window etc. Needless to say, there'll also be units which emit a strong odor.
I think its always an interesting walk back to my flat everyday. =)
As u walk past, u'll have to recall which units to hold your breath, and which to take in deep deep breathes... ahhaha
Almost everyday, I always get whiffs of Jasmine Oil from my living room window and whiffs of Curry Powder from my Chill-Out room's window.
I prefer the curry powder scent.
Always making me crave for NASI BRIANI... yummy

MVP award- Most Vain Person
Its the 1st time i am doing a conference call from home.. using my HP. Involving US,Europe & Asia Finance teams.
Coz i did not have any Lan lines at home.
In the afternoon, SH just taught me how to mute my speaker phone, so that i do not need to put the phone against my ear for 1hr plus.
Dun ask me why, but i was feeling excited to be doing a conference call in the comfort of my home. So at 9.30pm sharp, i dialled in... only after 3 attempts did the leading party conducted the call.
While they were finishing up... the CFO of CNBC US annouced that there were 2 awards.
One was them was for Asia.... I was happy.. coz someone in our group got recognized for her /his hardwork... which also means that there would be a free meal. heheh
As Christy started describing the role that this MVP played.. I realised it was me!!!
And i started searching for the key to unmute so that i could say thank you.
Alas, i could not find the option and everyone thought that i did not attend the call.
As she started to move on, i finally managed to find the option and went: Hello hello? hey thanks thanks for the recognition." Everyone was surprised to hear from me.. so i explained that i did not know how to unmute my HP. That set everyone laughing...
And so, i got this "Most Valuable Player" award. Wee Tuck says it would be recorded in my GE's ems and it would be seen as a good achievement to other GE businesses.
I guess this is one of my 2007 achievement.

Mickey Mouse Cup???
Hello! I'm back from the Mickey Mouse Cup....
Its called the mickey mouse cup coz is just not professional enuff...
I had the 1st hand experience of watch a live football match played by professionals and also doing the Kallang wave!!!
Yeah!!!! Its the first time i'm doing it at the stadium... ya I'm mountain tortoise.. hehe
I love the thrill of stamping our feet in our seats and waiting for the wave to flow to us.
I thought i could feel the old old stadium tremble.... scary.
I learned another thing too.... Swearing : "Bu Tok "(i learnt that it means dick) whenever someone nearby in the crowd blows the whistle tune.. hehe.. u get get away with swearing while watching a football game...
Only thing is I din know there is a tune to it.
I couldnt really understand football games... so when the Thais did a walk off, i thought the coach was gathering them to teach them tatics to guard us for the penalty kick.
So much for my knowledge of football.
It was only after the game then learnt that the coached ordered them to walk off!
So unsporting.
so while waiting the "15 min" of walk off:

Unhappy Fan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu4abL8ffV4
I love the way the crowd sings Ole Ole Ole as we leave the stadium. It made me feel very united.

Goodbye National Stadium..... It feels funny to know that you'e gonna be torn down in April.
