Eve of Good Friday…
Met up with Zoe and Daniel then we went over to shisha near arab street after 10pm. Was there talking and catching up with them. Su-ann originally wanted to join but couldn’t when she called Zoe. Then we played some cards and then some topics that we chatted revolved around ghost stories and really scared Zoe. Lol..
Both of them were smoking shisha while I haven’t had my dinner and ordered Fish & Chips, when it came, I immediately devoured it. Then I quickly became a really satisfied customer after that. =)
But then there was a group of customers who complained about the service and then the boss waived the whole payment and even gave them free drinks Since Zoe was such a regular over there, she told me that these kind of situations often happened. So was really common. Then she told me about the story of shisha.
Well, we stayed till quite late though… around 3 plus in the morning then took a cab back. Such a long day as tomorrow still have to wake up early for my work. Is really exhausting these few days…

Sales! Rest and Relax…Cosy Bar… Giraffe
Yesterday, went for BFC in the morning then help out with a cashflow game.
Then went to the Adidas sale of up to 70% off. I was already a ready buyer trying to find some polo t-shirts but to no avail… It’s really disappointing that the stock variety over there is pathetic… Although there are many other colors but there’s just wasn’t the right size for me… so dewei and me went off disappointed at the sale itself.
But then we decided to try our luck at the Robinson’s sale next hall which opens till 29 Mar. Wow! There’s really quite a crowd over there and the fitting room queues were super long… After walking around, we managed to get some stuff for ourselves. I got 2 polos and a pants. Then both of us went over to get some facial masks =P Well, you must be thinking… two super vain guys getting masks that are used by women only. hahaha… but I tell you… once you reach a certain age, you should start taking care of your face, GUYS INCLUDED =). For me, I wouldn’t want to look like 35 when I just reached 30… but rather I want to look like 25 when I’m 30.
So that concluded our short little shopping spree.
Then we took train down to Orchard and took our dinner. There’s one incident which kind of makes us mad… We were looking for seats in the fully occupied Food Republic near the windows area. Then we saw two groups of people who are finished with their food. But they’re chatting and there’s only two guys in one of the group. Then dewei was saying to me that if here is Raffles Place then people will be automatic…but it wasn’t so and it’s even worse… The one of the guys took out a tissue and was trying his best to wipe some invisible stains off his white shoes! Then after going another 2 rounds, 2 groups of gals came and suddenly the 2 guys quickly packed up and leave! That totally pissed us off! >.< Such guys…really make my blood boil…Anyway, we totally went to the other area and found ourselves seats and carried on with our dinner.
After dinner, we walked around taka and got to know from a super pretty promoter that Hugo Boss just launched a new product last week called Element.
Then we wanted to find a bar to sit down as my shoulders are almost breaking because of the weight of my bag… Was thinking of Alley Bar, Acid Bar, No 5 or Ice Cold Beer but then Dewei suggested that we try out the Giraffe at Dhoby Ghaut just in between Park Mall and PS with all those fountain and water features. Once reached, there wasn’t many people, guess it’s the rainy weather that even Orchard isn’t that packed. The ambience is really nice and I would love to go there another time. I ordered their Giraffe Special which is kind of unique in a sense. Got a bit of the fruity taste to it. Dewei just ordered the Singapore Sling.
Well, now that I’ve looked at my time then I realized that this post is so long… hahahaha well, that’s my day! Really long but satisfying and fulfilling.

Rainy Days…Pondering Time
It’s raining now and I’m typing this at home while listening to radio. It just seems so long that I’ve listened to radio.
Today it’s a relaxing Sunday for me.
I’ve been thinking of a lot of things recently…about how my life turned out the way I wanted it to be. It’s just so interesting and unique that a person’s life can turned out so different even if their experiences are so similar or even if they comes from the same family background.
I have met some people who related their life stories to me these few days. Some are really successful in almost every aspect of their life, earning well over 6 figures or 7 figures income. They spoken to me about what I wanted in life and also regarding building my first pot of gold.
Well, haven you ever thought of how to build your first pot of gold? If you haven’t, maybe I can share with you what I’ve learned from it.
Okay good, the rain is clearing up. =) Back to listening my radio that’s playing “Nan Ren Nu Ren” now.

Needs Physical Improvement!
Went jogging on yesterday. Really felt the tiredness from the run itself. Clocked 30 mins for a 5km run… really not at my peak… need a lot of improvement soon.
Well, owing to a busy schedule, I’ve tried to incorporate exercises whenever I can or have my free time. Though it wasn’t my ideal number of times, it’s still better than nothing. haha.
Anyway, still thinking of whether I can go for this year’s safra run or not coz of my schedule…
Also had lunch with Valerie at Vivo’s Kim Gary, food was okay coz I din expect much just that the chicken I ordered came with only a small portion of vegetables…pathetic. Then also saw Kristine, Vincent, Jasmine and Poh Soon and chatted awhile.
Later went over to get a pair of ear phones at Best Denki. Been thinking of getting it for so long already…

Some Learnings During Camp
I went to a camp organized by another financial consultancy firm, starting with the letter P.
It was held at Singapore Shopping Centre, and I didn’t even know that there is one in SG. LOL. Well, for those who don’t know where it is, it is just beside the Fish & Co. glass house at Dobhy Ghaut mrt station.
Well, it was a 1 day camp with an overnight stay and I’ve discovered many different principles that is very helpful to my life right now. It just helped me to focus much better on what I wanted in life currently.
The organisation has shared with me 5 pillars of guidelines for enhancing the way of life as well as be more successful and fulfilling in life.
What I’ve taken back from this camp is that:
- I’ve to take care of my family first
- Then take care of myself
- And take care of my organization
- Finally, to take care of my society
So essentially by following this order, I will be able to lead a more fulfilling and successful lifestyle.

Marley and Me Review
Yesterday I was watching Marley and Me by invitation from Alvin. So I also invited Jack along too. So we had some refreshments and a movie for free. =)
Marley and Me is a movie about a labrador and Marley and his family. It basically talks about how his life revolves around Marley. How his career move up, family increases size and how they gotten old…
All in all, it’s a really nice show to watch and especially touching at the end. It’s really good for you dog-lovers out there. =)

BFC Pre-Interview
Went for the pre-BFC interview with Wendy Liao and it was more like an explanation of what is coming up for the BFC itself.
Well, Wendy went through a lot of Dos and Don’ts with me which some have already been shared with me by Charles, Jack and CJ.
So all in all, I kind of understood most of what I’m supposed to do during BFC itself and we’re are supposed to train the core foundation.

Cedli Meeting…Cake Buying
I’m supposed to buy a birthday cake for the CEDLI meeting that our team is conducting. Jack was handling the agenda and the retreat debrief, while CJ was the MC for the meeting. Daniel was our video man. Me? I’m handling the logistics and birthday cake for the birthday person in the month of feb.
Well, it’s really like no brainer to go and get a cake but I was really not adept at buying a birthday cake for so many people. This is like my first time… so questions like how large should I get? What kind of flavor should I get, etc… came to my mind… argh… Cakes… because if you buy the wrong ones (those really awful tasting ones) then you’ll really spoil that birthday celebration atmosphere.
So I walked over to Bugis Junction from our office at Gateway, thinking of which shop should I get the cake from. Saw Four Leaves and went to take a look…hmm… their selection seems nice and appealing. Then I went over to BreadTalk to look at their selection… I was like… wah… those are really kind of pathetic… they have those like fruit cakes and stuff… not really to my liking.
Then I went over to Four Leaves again and saw that they have black forest. Good. Black forest is good. Now how big should I get it… I asked the lady serving me how big should I get if I have like 20 people and she was recommending the largest one to me which costs like $50+ and it’s huge and rectangular in shape… Should be more than 20 people and not exactly 20… So after thinking for a while, I decided to go for the second largest which is round.
Gotten the cake back and waited for the finale to start to bring in the cake. There’s only one birthday gal in the month of feb and that’s Penny.
Yay! In the end, the cake was just nice in quantity for everyone and everyone is happy with the flavor of the cake. Good!

Working at End of CNY
Today is the end of Chinese New Year called Yuan Xiao. Because of this, my ex-boss, Kim, asked me if I wanted to work or not for this event. Since I was having a bit of free time and also wanted to catch up with him and maybe Kenny, I agreed to work today.
So I was there at the Tian Fu Gong at Telok Ayer street. This event was held by the Hokkien Association of Singapore.
I was supposed to be the in-charge for firing the confetti cannons which marks the start and the end of the celebration. The first cue was good, but the second cue when I have to wait for the white colorful dragon to go off wasn’t timed accurately. Because there wasn’t any cue signal that I can follow and luckily Kim was around to see that the dragon was going off and told me to fire. Else I think it will just go off without my confetti shots.
The event was supposed to start at 7pm but it kind of dragged as usual… to 8pm before the actual performance starts. And I hadn’t had dinner at that time yet…
Well, overall the performance was only okay, not that fantastic and with some cockups… Saw that there’s some communication lags that caused the cockups..
Hmm… after the work, it just pack up and go. But I’m really tired after everything because I have not been doing these kind of “siong” activities except for exercising. Last I did was last year. Hmm…am I getting weak? Damn… need to train up once again. Nevermind, it will give me more energy. :D
Ciao~ I’m going to rest already.
