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.

Day 2 of CNY

Yesterday’s movie was very good. Hilarious.

Today went for visiting at my uncle’s place at Pasir Ris… it’s so far from Clementi… Finally when we reached there, saw one of my aunts and went together with them taking a bus.

Saw all of my aunts and uncles from my maternal side and gotten the usual “ang baos” as like a bonus like that. Wonder if the crisis will affect greatly on the amount inside or not.

My dad and brother stayed at home to entertain the paternal side of my relatives who will be coming to visit us at our home. Which I have not been seeing them for like 2 years since I was like the representative for my maternal side.

Well, all went well. Nothing special happened except that my mum went on to try out the Osim message chair that my uncle has and she felt damn good after the session. Guess she’s going to buy one for herself then.

Day 1 of CNY

Today is another boring CNY day one for me… as usual for all these years since my army days… no visiting for day 1. So what to do? Sleep and rejuvenate. :D

Slept for quite a bit…hmm… almost half a day hee :)

Was quite refreshed now since I’ve rarely taken so many  hours to sleep since my Uni days… CNY is really a good time for me to rest.

Will be going out with Caecilia, Daniel, Phyllis, Bernard, Zoe, Luis, Su-ann and her boyfriend to watch movie.

Chinese New Year Eve 2009

Today’s Chinese New Year Eve, hmm… another year is going to pass soon and I’m getting older and wiser :D Joshua and Derek wanted to go to Chinatown to watch the fireworks and walk the streets at night. Initially, I was quite hesistant about going thinking that there might be a lot of people, but I went in the end.

But it was after my family’s steamboat dinner at home which I opened another bottle of red wine, and drank almost half  the bottle by myself because the rest of my family doesn’t drink that much. I was actually even tempting my almost 3 years old nephew to drink a bit hehe :P because if he drank some, I’m sure he will be sleeping quite soundly for the night.

Well, was at chinatown and there is indeed a lot of people. But Derek and Joshua commented that it wasn’t as many as compared to last year. I should guess it’s the financial crisis that caused people to be stuck at home.

Saw the fireworks, wasn’t as spectacular as I anticipated since I’ve done fireworks before during my Uni days. Went around the normal usual chinatown shops with the goods prices dropping sharply after midnight. Then went to take a look at some potted plants which Joshua was asking me to get a pot too, especially the cherry blossoms (Tao Hua) to boost my luck with women. hahaha. Wasn’t even thinking about that.. was thinking more about how to get that pot back if I were to get it rather.

All went well except for the sudden rain that caught most of people in the rain. We stayed till the rain turned into a drizzle before we went back.

Genting Trip With New Colleagues – Gambling Tips

Well, just got back yesterday from my Genting trip. Had a fun time with them especially going to the casinos. Really experience what is a casino and how people can get really ADDICTED to this vice and I mean REALLY…

It’s so plain simple and easy. I just tried the slot machines and it can immediately get so addictive because I was basically just pressing on some buttons and the stupid machine even have lights on the buttons to visually attract your attention to them. Thus making me to press them and losing faster :(  hahahaha  damn… machines are just money grubbers… waste my money…

Although I didn’t really try those tables but seen some of my colleagues went over to play Blackjack and stuff. Some won and some din… well, it’s just the experience that counts I guess.

But there’s one incident which I remember very vividly and that is there’s one auntie who’s playing Blackjack. Initially, she was on a winning streak and had a LOT of chips that is $500 each and she had like 3 stacks of 10 chips… that’s like $15,000!! So I watched intently on how she would exit and keep her winnings. I left for a moment to another table upon seeing that she kept winning and I thought she would keep some since her daughter came and she gave her some to keep. But when I came back about 10 minutes later, she had no more $500 chips left! I was stunned… not only that… she still pulled out thousands from her purse and exchanged for chips to play. 3 times of exchange and she’s out of money… I only gotten a glimpse that I thought she’s only left with her transport money.

WOW! Such a turn of events! Now I get the idea that people can definitely lose their fortune in casinos and no wonder it is such a bad vice…

Hmm… gamblers out there… whether you’re full-time professional or socially. There’s still a risk of running up a huge loss. Key is to know when to exit with your winnings. Only then will you be able to make money.

Always set yourself a capital to lose when you are gambling and DO NOT exceed that even if it means losing all that capital and taking a loss.

Here are some photos which were taken during my trip.

SpineTrend – Chiropractors

I went to SpineTrends in Shaw House today to check on my back. Both of the doctors are chiropractors which meant that they are experts in terms of treatment of the bones. They said mine’s supposed to be a subluxation which meant there is a misalignment of my spine.

The doc advised me to go for some X-rays to be taken and I just felt that maybe I should so, just went for the x-rays.

Well, was really hopeful that nothing bad will turn out from this.

Welcome to 2009!

Kangwei called us yesterday to have a steamboat buffet at TurfCity for New Year celebration. Had the usual pickings on the meat – chicken, pork, etc… really had a lot to eat, was like taking at least 3 rounds of food.

Kangwei was like standing up and bbqing all the beef that he took. Was wondering how much he could take and by the time, I’m full… he’s still taking his next round… I was like Argh… bottomless pit… he really can take in a lot of food…. well, that’s our kangwei :D

Anyway, some of us went back home to bathe as after the whole steamboat session, we smelled more like the steamboat with all those cooked food smell that everyone else who walked past us will know where we went earlier. hahahaha.

Well, after a super full dinner, Chris fetch us (me, Ivy, and Adrianne) and I kinda ask him to test drive his newly “zeng” car that comes with a new turbo. So suddenly the turbo kicked in and we jerked back. Although there’s a jerk that comes with the boost, I still felt that the jerk that I experienced in Jack’s honda civic is still greater.

In the end, we went to Kangwei house and they started their usual gambling tables and played till like 4 or 5am before we went back.

Well, today is also my last day at PowerSeraya as a Business Process Consultant. It’s been a really great tenure with this company, 7 months in all. But I just hope that my new career will start soon.

Agapella Performance

Richard invited me again to his church which invited the group from Agapella to perform accapella songs. It was really a great event with the group singing. It’s been some time since I heard an accapella group performing already and it was really refreshing.

It’s really nice of Richard to invite me time and again, especially during the Christmas period. Really appreciate it.

Well, for those of you who wants to check out the Agapella group, here’s their website.

X’mas Celebration at My Boss’s Place

Our boss, Bernard, invited us to his house for a Christmas gathering and celebration together with his church friends. I took quite some time to decide whether to go or not because I was thinking about the people whom I will be meeting. I guess most of them I won’t even be able to get to know them since it’s like a one meeting kind of session as I’ll be leaving PowerSeraya soon.

So caught a lift from one of my colleagues and went down there. Made a discover about GPS, it’s really helping drivers to get around places but I was thinking what if it wasn’t working… I wouldn’t be able to know what’s the route to take anymore. So good for being helpful I guess…still got the cons of it.

Reached there and was talking about work still… well, saw two golden retrievers that my boss had. But suddenly at one point of time, the really noisy one went out of the gate and bit another dog! Then Bernard rushed out and spanked the dog… well, that’s what you get for being a bad dog…

Had great food which Bernard’s wife cooked like the mashed potatoes with some spicy meat in it and there’s also the chicken stew which was really fantastic! :D

It was a great house with 3 storeys, just opposite kovan mrt, with a small patch of garden, some trees even and also a swinging bench. The whole decoration was really good and unique.

PowerSeraya Colleagues

Wow! Today is a great day for me. Suddenly a sense of happiness just came over me. I was busy taking photos with me and my great colleagues. It’s really been great working with them all these while.

Remembering that when I first joined this company, I only got to know Kristine then slowly I got to know our beloved Cat (Catherine) :p then Jen Sen and Foong.

Kristine is the one who always helped me with those monthly report figures and Cat too. Although Cat also brought in some of her great home made pastries, especially her brownies. Normally, I don’t really take brownies as they’re really too sweet for me but her’s was another story. You really have to try it then you will know I’m really experiencing. : )

Jen Sen and Foong are really two jokers who sometimes loves to make fun of us whenever we were gossiping or talking bad in front of them… hahaha :P

But they’re really great colleagues and friends. We helped each other, shared food, ate lunch together, talked crap and just have fun together, although there are still the normal gossips here and there.

They’re still a lovely bunch of people who have brought another sense of fulfilment and joy to my life. Hope I have brought to them at least some joy too :p since I’m leaving soon… start of next year 2 Jan. Sad… will definitely missed their laughter.
