Rock-A- Bye Spore

Your office building Rocking while u were at work?
Even all our office's TV were rocking... it's still not known where is the earthquake as at now..
When I emailed CX about it.. he said Tampines also, even AF's office @ Braddell also felt it.
Guess its quite a major earthquake.
TQ's sister who's working at Shaw House was asked to evacuate the building!
I din dare to go ladies for fear of being trapped in there!
hmm... i hope all is well.
Short post.. back to work

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:

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:
Kallang Wave: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBjb6N7VcIs
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.
Ole:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ANyv8tn1D4

Story of our four bean bags
We've searched a lot a lot of places and most of the shops doesnt carry bean bags.
Finally found a shop in toa payoh central which sells affordable bean bags, but they could only show us the sample picture (wrapped in a plastic bag).
And we were worried it wasnt the normal roundshape we wanted. (most shop carried the L-shaped bean bags)
After thinking hard for few days, CX decided to just go ahead to buy. But the car wasnt big enuff to fit the 4 bulky bean bags! after hogging the carpark and causing a jam behind us....sorry!!! luckily the drivers were understanding enough to see that we were trying very hard.
we managed to squeeze 1 in the boot, 2 in the back seat, with me carrying 1 in the front seat!
Resulted in CX couldnt see the rear mirror and the left side mirror. Poor me couldnt even see ..Right in my face was RED BEANBAG.
(this is how big & compact the beanbag was)
CX decided to drive round to my old house and leave 2 there, and retrieve it on a next trip.
So, next time u guys see the bean bags... u can know our hard efforts in bringing them to you. hehehe

"1ST HOUSEWARMING"
hmmm... actually we are not having any housewarming... for quite a few reasons.
1. I dun really know how to cook
2.We do not have the budget to do catering
3.Who should we include to invite & who not to? Where to draw the line?
4.How to entertain our friends/ relatives as there'll be different different groups together?
5.Our house is not fully furnished yet.... better not make our guest feel uncomfortable.
so... we decided to just invite friends/ colleagues over just to chill out whenever they feel like it.
no formal housewarming.. I guess that'll more or less solve all the issues?
1st & formals, we just had a mini 1st group of friends over to chill out. Our house is so empty i guess (with 100% confidence) they're the ones who wun mind
Adrian, Khim, Meiling
Khim & Meiling met me at northpoint with the intention of playing table tennis then head to my house to have dinner, but it started raining as we went in search of a table tennis table.
So we decided to head straight to my house to cook.
This is what they bought for me: Deep fryer ( very useful... as i can have them over often for finger food & drinks)
I was supposed to look surprised and say: "Wah!!!! Its so good & wonderful! EXACTLY what I've been aiming for! And you've got me exactly wat I wanted!! I'm so happy!" ---> hahah Khim did i passed with flying colours? ( the inside joke was, i already knew what they were buying for me and also the fact that i was with them while they paid. But I'm supposed to look surprise when we reach my house. hahaha)
and we finished cooking at 10pm..
Hey gals! i took a look at my handphone.. we only started cooking at 8.45pm.. It wasnt as bad as we thought!!
1.Auntie Linda @ kitchen.. trying to make "french fries"
2.Courageous Khim with the deep fryer
3.See how much oil is needed!!!!
4.eh... not so courageous afterall.. heee heee heee
Feeling Victorious:
Gigantic Sotong balls:
This is what we cooked:
It tasted very nice.. hehehe
Eating and drinking and then playing PAYDAY! Chilling out
I love it... hope everyone had a great time.
It'll get better and better!!
And Adrian got us a DVD player! yeah! can save $ and watch movies at home.. own time own target, wearing my nightie... haha
