Anymore Goers?

Cant wait for my Redang trip in 3 weeks' time!! *excited*

planned wif huat, frank, jolene n joanne 2 mths ago...wif lots of voting n discussion, we decided to go for a sunny holiday!

We had e options of Taipei, Vietnam, Koh Samui n Redang...n aft voting, e result was to go vietnam....but as i was e ONLY ONE planning n i havent been to vietnam b4 n no one to help me wif it, we decided to go for e 2nd option - Redang instead. =)

I went just last yr (2nd May) wif casin n jf.....but me n mit missed n like e place so much tt we dun mind gg again, given e fact tt there's actually nothing much to do except for snorkeling, sun bathing, drinking e cooling coconut n e sumptuous buffet meals.

However, as of today, frank, huat n joanne backed out....reasons being tt, me n frank had some issues wif work where we cant take leave together, huat has got a MP visit on tt weekend n joanne is very bz at work bcos of e swine flu....

(was quite pissed off n upset bcos of e back-outs...its nt easy to organise things u know...haiz)

BUT we still has 10 pple going!!! hahaha

  1. Papa
  2. Mama
  3. Didi
  4. Me
  5. Mit
  6. Justin (Mit's fren)
  7. Jolene
  8. Jolene's Cousin
  9. Ken (our colleague at HQ)
  10. Darren (my neighbour)

my parents, aft looking at e fotos we took last yr, decided to join us, so is my bro. =)

Jolene initially wanted to back out bcos of her father's health, but thank god, he is feeling better now, so jolene agreed to go ahead as planned. and she even managed to jio her cousin along during their visit of her father at e hospital.

e 2 last min cnfm pple, ken n darren, were super on! they were being informed just today!

not forgetting justin....he cnfm his attendance juz 15mins after mit asked him last week.

wahahahah....i am happy...very happy (^.^)

my only worry right now is......

which bikini to bring?? where is my sunblock lotion?? LOL

The Big White Dog - Luki

Mit has been toking abt his customer's dog since e 1st time he saw him....
so we decided to visit his customer...

mit has showed me e foto n i knew it is a big dog....so i cant help but to b a little scared...

Upon rchin at the 3-storey semi-detached's gate....i saw a big white dog running out to "greet" us n when mit called out his name....he whined....awwwwww

He is a 2-year old Samoyed...called "Luki"

He is so friendly n harmless tt i wasnt afraid of him anymore juz 5mins after i stepped in.
we played wif him wif his treats n he showed us his tricks....
sit...
down (lie-flat)...
paw...
turn...
stand...
n he stood at my height!!!

the owner was so kind tt she asked us to walk her dogs on our own....

gosh....he's so active n energetic tt he practically pulled us along...

had a great time wif him n i would love to visit him again!




Luki pulling Mit

Dblo - our growing grp!

Casin, me n mit planned for a 3-person party at Dblo on sat.
me n Dada will wait at Dblo for casin who will send jf to the airport b4 joining us.

while preparing, i received a call frm jeffrey (my pri sch fren)...
jeff: "liqi...u know who am i?"
me: "fei hui...jeffrey la!"
jeff: "my voice so easy to regconise meh?"
me: "i know u for 19yrs liao leh...wats up?"
jeff: "r u gg dblo? i juz received a sms frm dblo regarding e free entry b4 10pm so i thot of u"
(apparently all my frens know tt i frequent dblo)
me: "hahaha...ya...n i am preparing now. join us la! im gg wif mit n casin...casin's bf is leaving for US soon for work so he wun b joining us"
jeff: "hmm....great! i'll c u guys later wif my fren"

so the grp grew frm 3 to 5.....

due to the abrasion under my left eye, i took longer time den usual to put on my make-up....n also bcos of e fake eyelash la...
left e hse at 942pm.....oh no....hw to rch by 10pm???
(wif ger's card oso need to rch by 10pm for e free entry)

ran down to flag a super-cab.....n god!! e uncle was fast!!! travelling at 110-120km/hr thru out!
hahaha...me n Dada managed to rch e doorstep of dblo at 10pm sharp!! *phew...otherwise we got to pay $35 to get e both of us in*

during e journey, i jio-ed my bro to join us too....so it grew frm 5 to 6....

while waiting for casin...me n dada had 4 tequila shots n ordered 3 jugs...

@ 11+pm...got a sms frm kelvin, asking where am i....i tink he guessed tt i shld b clubbing hehe
told him tt im at my fav place n asked if he wan to join us....
as he was already outside for a wedding dinner....he decided to join us!

so in e end we had a grp of 7!!
had abt 11 jugs (1 compliment jug frm ruben e waiter n i accidentally poured 1/2 jug on jeff) n 11 tequila shots (i "accidentally" poured 1 shot onto e floor").

although e retro sux tt nite....but we all had our fun!!

Disfigured

Had a very busy day at work on Fri...so decided to pamper myself wif a facial aft work

went HQ to do submission den went to a saloon nearby for my facial: "diamond peel" where they used a machine to suck out all dead skin, black n white heads....and also to lighten pigmentation...

as the beautician said my dark circles n feckless needed attention, she concentrated e "peeling" under my eye area....but she was focusing too much on e same area tt my left cheek area had some abrasion...=(

she den continued wif "extraction" which is the part i hated most bcos of all e squeezing, my face would normally turn red wif sore-ness. i tolerated e pain n she managed to remove the irritating "you pao" on my right eye lid!

followed by the very-good-relaxing cooling mask where i fell aslp during the 30-min...

as usual the consultant will psycho u into signing their package...but i made use of e fact tt my face is suffering frm e abrasion, i said im not satisfied so i am not signing anything! wahaha

(poor Dada waited for 2hrs)

*******

went back home n watched channel 8's ping pong show b4 heading to casin's hse for MJ!!

Had another session of time-wasting mj wif jf/casin, mit n casin's mum...where me n aunty had a draw game n casin lost $8 to mit....

spent e nite over at casin's place as we ended e mj ard 6+am n i had to work at 1230pm....got to catch some beauty slp....

woke up at ard 1140am....washed up....n aunty made me 2 slices of ai-xin kaya-butter bread put in a zip-lock bag for me to eat in the car =) thax aunty!
e last time my mama made bfast for me was years back.....

Dada rushed me to bt timah (southaven II) to help out at an AGM (foto will b up tmr) den he went back my home to slp again....

was supposed to go east coast (summit) for another agm de...but made a switch wif william
hehe southaven II ended at abt 515pm....n summit ended at abt 7+pm...hehe
so sorry william =P n thax alot!!

Sweet Lunch

Had lunch wif Dada with Casin juz a moment ago.

And we had this conversation in the car:
when we were on e way to fetch casin, we heard the song "Mei Ren Yu - by Xu Ruo Xuan" and the DJ mentioned tt He Ren Dong (or is it Feng De Lun??) is Vivian's bf....
after casin boarded e car....

mit: "casin, u know who is Xu Ruo Xuan's bf?"
casin: "no.....who?"
*paused*
mit: "me lor!"
casin : *roll eyes* (i guessed she did tt cos i couldnt c her frm e front)
me: "oh! i didnt know im as pretty as xu ruo xuan!"
all: "hahahaha"

We went to somewhere near Paya Lebar for vegetarian food...
den to Shell petrol station for BEN & JERRY!!
hahahaah


although not at some shopping centre, sitting down enjoying the ice cream....but im contented (^.^)



<--- casin wif her "Cherry Garcia"

Dada said this after we finished our ice cream
"Mission Accomplished!"
hahaha yea...after 3 attempts...

Handicapped...

Due to my own stupidity....i am without hp for the night

My keys to the office, toilet and petty cash box are chained together in a doraemon keychain...
but somehow, duno y, i left them in my bag e whole of today...
as the key press is just beside my office door, i would jus take e toilet key on the way out n head straight to it...

At 6.30pm, both my staffs had already left the office while i waited for Dada to fetch me....
i was alrdy preparing to pack up when i needed the toilet....so i did the same thing as wat i mentioned n went for a relieved...
but I AM NOT RELIEF when i stood outside my office door....realising that my office key is locked inside!!!

Yes!! My bag, wallet, hse keys n HP are inside too!!!
*argh* (angry wif myself)

1 of my staff stays in Yishun and 1 in Bedok....and i was at Little India....both equally far
so.....i decided that i shall go home empty handed...wearing my office slippers...so 狼狽....

Im feeling so handicapped now without my HP....like 少了什么.... =(

Vivo = 2120??

Try using ur fingers to show the letters V.I.V.O

This is what u'll get....

Was trying to tell Dada tt i wan to go vivo for e free Ben n Jerry ice cream while i still had water in my mouth....he thot i was giving him numbers to buy..... -.-"

Im praying that this number will come up tonite....so that i can ask for some presents hehe

We went to Vivo.....but i still did not get my ice cream....bcos e queue was SUPER LONG!! we shld haf went to great world instead which we tink may haf lesser crowd....

*******

If u rem my post on "Dblo"....this is e "souvenir" i brought back....

(e bruise is even darker in real)

Jf and Joanne were pushing me here n there wif their butts....while i was trying to "siam" them....joanne bumped into me n i went straight to the table.....

The 2 lines is the actual thickness of the table "leg" which i bumped into....ouch....

"Love" isnt easy....

After almost 1 hr....i finally managed to get the things n pple i love up onto my blog....

it may seems easy....but for a IT idiot like me, it's so tedious!!

As this pc has limited fotos, i had to browse facebook n friendster to selected the fotos...
ive to arrange them, resize them, lots of copy n paste, cut n paste...

  1. Search and choose pictures of brownie, bowling, karaoke n MJ from the internet

  2. Browse and select fotos of my love ones frm pc, fb n friendster

  3. open a Microsoft Words file and added text box to paste e fotos

  4. copy n paste the pictures + fotos into e text box

  5. resize all of them to fit nicely (as there r too many fotos, i added 2 text boxes)

  6. den copy e text box into "Paint"

  7. did some editing to e edges

  8. save a copy into my pc

  9. den upload onto my blog
What made it so difficult was bcos
I DID NOT UNCHECK "SHRINK TO FIT"!!
argh all my fotos turned out so mini...so i thot we can only upload fotos to fit tt only size, so i went to do the resizing again and seperated the fotos into 5 text boxes.
When i was halfway done wif the uploading, then realised i could haf juz unchecked the stupid box to get the whole foto in!!!

So that's it.....done....after so much wasted effort

Busy Morning

I am having a meeting this Thurs and I was too lazy to finish up my Minutes of Meeting yesterday bcos of e bluey mood.
So this morning, i was so so so so so soooo busy rushing for the minutes to be out as well as the other documents needed for the meeting for my boss' vetting.

*phew*
and i managed to send them all out before lunch (however i do not know wat time my boss go out for his lunch)
His vetting has all along been fast (very fast) so hopefully i will b able to circulate out to the attendees by today.

*******
Dada wanted to meet me for lunch, but i was too held up at work so i told him i'll skip lunch.

SMS received 20mins aft we hung up...
"Delivery in 15mins."

and i smiled. (^-^)

so here i am...having the curry rice wif drumstick n lots of potatoes which dada queued up for and bundung drink dada bought for me.

but im wondering....can bundung mix wif curry?? will i get diarrhea later?? @.@

Lazy Sunday

With all e drinking e night b4...n e Super Duper hot n stuffy weather...it made me so lazy n restless.....

woke up at ard 2+pm....
found a blue-black on my thigh n 1 on my arm...."courtesy" of crazy dblo night....
went lunch wif my parents n mit at a teochew restaurant @ bt batok....n we insisted that we wan indoor seats for e air-con....

papa ordered their signature fried mian xian - $12
mama had fish porridge - $4
mit had kway chap (w/o internal organs) - $8
i ordered my favourite kway chap set!! - $4.20
Dessert - fried yam coated wif sugar - $12
n a bowl of yam paste wif ginko seeds ($2.50) for me!!
their desserts r delicious!

papa's mian xian was supposed to b for 2 pax....so me n mit had to help out
mama ordered another bowl of kway to help me finish my food...

suddenly missed my ah-kor....
used to frequent tt place for our kway chap (at least once every 2 weeks)....we would order a set for 2 pax, n he'll let me haf e peanuts...
for supper, we would jus order a set for 1 pax n an extra kway to share....
i wan to meet him soon....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After e late lunch, went back home to wait for jf n casin to cnfm e timing for our 2nd mj session
mit was playing wif his psp, n i was watching tv.....

1hr had passed....still no call

so i asked mit to msg jf to ask where were they...
jf replied "packing up now, leaving soon..."
so we waited again...

another 40mins passed...
i msg casin...
"where u guys le?"
she replied "Cte. reach in 13min. you?"

omg...thot they were supposed to inform us when they're leaving so tt we can leave at e same time??

i immediately off e tv n rushed mit to get prepared n leave e hse....cos i dun wan to waste my sunday sitting at home watching tv
den....my tummy hurt.....
must b bcos of e burger (frm 7-eleven) i took ytd!
blamed it on myself....cos i finished e whole burger even though i found e center of burger fridge-like cold....was too lazy to warm it up again....=(
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Had 2 rounds of mj....
n my luck was good hahaha ;)
keep zi mo-ing....in e end, 1 leg win 3 legs hehe

had dinner at jf hse...
his mum's curry fish is good (but can b spicy-er)

i miss home-cooked food....
since young, i've been taking "outside" food due to my parents' business nature...nobody will b at home to cook for me n my bro...

envy jf n casin tt they can get home-cooked food almost everyday...
im nt saying mit's mum doesnt cook....but i reali hope she can cook something more "facinating", "appealing" n something new.
i wanted so much to tell mit...but he may tink tt i always hiam his mum....

anyway, e day ended wif a sweaty n sticky mj session....
slpt at 215am

WoooHoooo...Dblo!!

jf finally finished his exams....
And we went to my lao di fang wif mit, jf, casin, joanne, justin n ivory....
it was fun n crazy man! =D

casin did e calculation, n we had 14 jugs of henessy green tea n 14 tequila shots!!
not really alot for e 7 of us.....but it was enuf to get us high n crazy!!

Aft e 1st tequila shot, me n joanne went 7-eleven to grab our late dinner b4 having more drinks
while we were away, e 5 of em were playing 5-10 n heard tt mit was e "bah kah" lol

After 30mins of gaming......RETROZ is here!!
by then, most of us were already warmed-up enuf to dance =)

casin n myself were teaching joanne hw to dance retro....
mit n jf were tryin to follow us n danced like monkeys...=x
justin was coming up wif funny moves to imitate us...

After e retro period...we continued wif our 5-10, direction, long xia - da bian (lobster - shit), n hand slapping game....
i made justin "eat" alot of da bian!! lol

oh....while e guys were away, a grp of boys beside us were trying to learn our retro moves...
n they treated us wif some drinks n ended up taking fotos.....hopefully i wun look ugly =P
when jf is finally back, casin said "my xing xiong is back!"
i told her..."my gou xiong is missing...."
As usual, mit is always not at our table most of e time, but we had our fun w/o him...wahaha

We left at ard 3.30am....
n i concussed once i rch home, w/o bathing....hehehe

(photos will b up as soon as joanne uploads em)

Team Work

Dragged myself out of Mit's bed at 1130am.....reason being that we slpt at 6am!!
Due to our time-wasting Mj session on Fri nite...
both me n mit had a draw game...n jf lost to casin...

Was quite pissed wif mit bcos he was supposed to attend his cousin's funeral (last day) at 11+am wif his mum....but apparently (as usual) his plan failed again, as he forgot to inform his mum tt he needs to send me to my co. Team Building at 1230pm.

His mum came into e room n shouted at him for being irresponsible by slping so late which caused him to overslp....n needless to say, that shouting n nagging woke me up...

Wat pissed me off was, he told his mum "I need to send Liqi to work at 1230....."
n his mum said "ask her drive there herself.....u take bus wif me to hougang"
wa lao eh.....how can he say tt??! wat will his mum tink of me?!?
"cant she go herself?"
"y she needs my son to send her there when she know how to drive?"
"she shld know tt he needs to attend funeral, n shld b sensible enuf to go herself"

In e 1st place, i dun even know he arranged to go wif his mum....
n 2ndly, I reminded him to plan his route for sat....if nt possible to send me there, i can drive there myself...

argh!! *angry*
_____________________________________________________

Reached Sebawang for co. Team Building Day at 1230pm....dressed in my ah-dang white polo-t!
The dress code for tt event was white or black....
n my BU head chose white, was actually hoping tt he'll choose black, cos my wardrobe has got limited white tops! haha

Jolene wore black bcos she "wasn't" informed.....hahah but anyway i tink nobody cared =P

Team Building this yr was kinda boring as compared to last yr's....

we were divided into grps and given the following:
- 2 packets of those ballon sticks
- 1 packet of drinking straws
- 1 packet of wire-tie
- a bunch of rubber bands
- newspaper
- masking tape n scotch tape
- scissors
- 1 tennis ball
n were asked to make our own "roller coaster"....

this was wat we came up wif....

Kinda interesting....
this taught us team work...
you may not b the leader of e grp, but your suggestion does help....
Leaders not necessary have or give e best idea.....we need e team to put our heads together to solve any problem....
and you'll b surprise tt, there's actually lots n lots of ways to solve 1 problem which u thought it's almost impossible to solve...

In a team, everyone is important...and everyone plays a part otherwise it will not b called a "team"

I went home without ice cream again......
