29 Jan 2010
It's been a while!
And how things have changed, for the better of cos!
A new chapter was unveiled today and I'm excited about it.

:)
Just came back from my awesome getaway in Hong Kong with the most awesome travel companion one could ever ask for. And the weather in HK was very kind on us.
Very cooling with no rain at all.
I'm still in the mist of editing the photos.
Hopefully they will be up before CNY.
:)
Anyway, a chapter in my life was closed on 29th Jan 2010.
The cubicle peeps will be missed.
Thanks for the yummiest lunch at my favourite Pu Tien.
And new additions to my Domo family.
:)
The infamous "Like I care". Heh.
Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this in my mailbox today.
I knew that the last contribution I did for the department did earn some moolah for the team.
SDG$8000 to be exact.
But what was more rewarding than the monetary incentive was the recognition from my all-time favourite director. And the winning SMS from my boss.
I guess sometimes, it's the process and not the destination that matters.

Etch BBQ
Fab shut down saw us gathered at Slim's house to have our own AFTERNOON BBQ.
I love afternoon BBQ, cos' the natural light is great for food photography.
Ha, you should know that I'm just BS-ing if you know photography. Bleah.
Anyway love the bacon and cheese hotdogs.
Both the look and taste of it.
Ahhh I'm so hungry looking at it now.
Did I mention that I'm supposed to eat only porridge and porridge for the next couple of days
in order not to further agitate my stomach? Gah.
Anyway took 29838 of pictures and they can be found at FB.
Just a few of my personal favourites below.
Things always happen for a reason.
And changes are inevitable.
Which is why I have this space to constantly remind myself to count my blessings.
Of the people I meet, and the things that happened to me.
Sometimes, thank you is never enough..
And you know it too.

Wala Wala-ed
1 year ago, I met them at the co. DND, excited about what's going to happen to us after graduation.
1 year later, we sat down at Wala, "excited" about what has happened to us after graduation.
To S.M.P, we loveeeee you so.

Huat ah!
2 more days and that will mark the end of the CNY 09.
So fellow etchers gathered at the house of our head etcher,
which somehow turned into a gamble den.

With lotsaaaaaaaa food.
That's probably only 1/100 of the total food sponsored.

And to a Huat Huat year ahead, we got abit excited.
Pardon the mess and food wastage.
Urpsy.
Before the BJ-ing and MJ-ing...
..it was time for some cam-whoring.
And yours truly was day-dreaming of the 10 mil ang pow.
Which I managed to pocket 3/500000 of it.
WELL DONE!

Not to forget Milky, which is hyperactive yet selective.
To both FOOD and people.
But still cuteeeeee nevertheless.
May the moo moo year ahead be kind to everyone.

On a mission
Life certainly has a unique way of bringing on the lessons or the opportunities, whether you are ready or not. But when one door closes, another opens. Nothing is ever wrong for there are always opportunities often bigger and better than the last.
Cliche as it is, I guess I'll just have to handle the situations as they come.
Am glad that it was good while it lasted.

Etchers BBQ
In view of the long weekend (thanks to NDP), the dept peeps organised a chalet cum BBQ at Downtown East.
Some of us went early and me, being me, took tons of pictures! Ha!

I thought the picture above was pretty cool! Heh. Sepia is loveee!
To kill time, we rented a table and played MJ! Was lucky to win some moolahs for Macs breakie the next morning. Yayness.
And as night fell, people started to stream in.
With beers and more BEERS.
Cutie Daren!
And here's the peeps who's keeping me sane at work.
=)
=)
Some ex-IA students came and do spot the differences!
There are other pictures but I'm too lazy to collage all of them. Heh.
Anyway, I had fun! Hope the rest did too.

Weekends!
2 weeks into work and I'm really blessed to be where I'm.
=)
Went dinner, KTV and supper with some of my department peeps and it was really fun! (despite losing my voice at the end of the night. Yes. Again.)
Reached home around 4 plus in the morning and
my mum thought I started shift work already! Ha.
I spent the whole of today sleeping, drifting in and out of consciousness, thanks to the medicine.
Managed to get my ass out of bed in the evening and went for a jog to clear the mind a little.
*******************************
Back tracking to last weekend, I went down to IndoChine's Forbidden City @ Clark Quay with Moogle to "Do the Karen Cheng" with Karen Cheng herself.
Can you believe that she's a mother of two already?!
After which, we went to Tampopo @ Liang Court for their ramen and soft shell crab, which was pretty delicious! I think I've been eating nothing but Japanese food recently. Time to visit Japan eh!
.
.
Caught Hancock, which was decent. Supper thereafter, which was FATTEN-ING!
Alrighto.
Time for me to hit the sack again.
Zzzz.

Workie Dokie
Work has made me a very healthy person.
For now. Before shift work and everything kicks off.
For the past few days, I'll be in bed by 11 and will be up around 7.
Oh did I mention that I figured a way to reach my workplace in 30-45mins instead of 1.5 hours?
GENIUS ME!
And I have the chance to take a LRT, MRT and a bus EVERYDAY.
SO I get to nua in bed longer every morning. HA!
Other than that, I'm glad how some things turned out to be.
You will know it if you are one of the very privileged few
who's meeting me this weekends!!
Oh the suspense huh!
HOKAY.. BYEE and GOODNIGHT!!

Apparently, Uncle Subaru got promoted and so we all got treated. YAY.
Dont we just LOVE promotions?
Disclaimer: This collage is a figment of Aska's imagination and may or may not be true. Any resemblance in thoughts to anyone is purely coincidentally.
Anyway, thanks for having me and like what BM said, it's the people that we will be missing.
And I so agree.

Overloaded
Hokay. Finally done with the pictures.
I realised the FASTEST way to get the pictures done is to do
a 2 x 2 collage or a 3 x 3 collage.
And that's what I did to speed things up a little. Heh.

Caught MY FAVOURITE Ocean's Thirteen with Mr-I-am-feeling-very-rich.
Great food at Manhattans's

Yummy dessert at Aijitei

Excellent company

A superb night out :)
So I hope Mr-I-am-feeling-very-rich will be on dean list every sem,
so that I'll have treats every other day.
YAY! CAP 5 CAP 5!
Hahahahahaha.

It's 2 more weeks till the end of IA for me.
SIGH.
I am so going to miss it =(
The people, the jokes, the food, the "work"..
It was the last day for the fellow NTU interns.
Did quite a bit of photowhoring at River Nile 1,
a place where some of us called home.
(esp. for Alex =P)
Btw, I LOVEEEE MY superman Tee!
See me FLY!!! Hahahaha.
See me FLY!!! Hahahaha.
Alex gave everyone our own portrait, which he DREW!
It's damn cute. And comical.
Heh check out some of them below!
Some of us went for dinner and I really enjoyed it =)
Talk cock sing song. Teeheehee.
We played "Complete the Timeline", which was SO FUNNY,
that I think we rocked the house (of crystal jade) that evening.
Company is always so important.
Dont you think?
And I'm so glad that our path crosses.

The Ters attended a family friend's wedding that's held at Hilton.
The groom is Brother Ter's best bud for about 20 years.
And I've known his sister for around 15 years.
I reckon it's always more INTERESTING to attend a friend's wedding
than a relative's. =P
Oh and someone commented that Sister Ter looks like a 25yrs old.
That made her flew up the ceiling of the ballroom.
Bro-in-law and I had to PULL her back to ground
so that she can continue with the dinner.
Urps.

Nua-ed my life away at Cookie's Palace.
I live to eat, sleep, shop and watch tv.
Hohohohoho.
We went to White Dog Cafe @ Vivo for dinner
after spending some moolahs at Crocs and NUM.
Allow me to rant abit about NUM @ Vivo.
Do you know that there is NO fitting room
in the shop that sells tops and bottoms??
Like DUH.
How do u expect people to buy your overpriced T-shirt then?
But WE did cos' we are nice people. Ha.
(though I did give them a DUH look)
Finally bought the sister her long-overdue-birthday-present.
A NUM Party Tank no less.
