First day at work!

Didn't sleep well last night cos I was having diarrhea just before I went to bed. Mainly because I am nervous about starting work today. Whenever I am nervous and stressed out, I will have butterflies roam wildly inside the stomach & uncontrollable diarrhea bothering me. But then, It could also be the dinner that I had, cod fish and grilled prawns. Maybe they are not well-cooked, or maybe it's because of food-poisoning, seafood mixing with Choya.

Conclusion: Diarrhea - I have a very weak stomach. hehehe..

However, this kind of weird feeling [a.k.a fear] goes away or "escape" once I am in the office. Haha... Why is it so? I don't know the reason myself. Maybe if I do someday, I can be a doctor, hee...;p

Ok, back to my first day at work. First, I am very impressed by the newly renovated office with its interior design, their cosy and state-of-the Art work-stations, their "hotel-standard" toilets and their well-equiped pantry with Nescafe instant coffee maker etc.

Hm... I was thinking and day-dreaming about my dream desk when the HR executive briefed me on the company policy etc. Afterwhich, he brought me around to the 2nd storey office for orientation and introduction. I was then getting more and more impressed as we past by more office areas. Lastly, he told me we are done and he will bring me to the warehouse area to see my office area. We pass through another bigger pantry before arriving at the warehouse. The warehouse consists of 2 levels, with cartons stacked neatly.

Then he brings me through a side door at the warehouse, he commented 'There's your work-station'. I stepped in, and I had the shock of my life. I was utterly stunt and stood there staring blankly at the 'dream desk' and at the same time feeling very disappointed and sorry for myself. Why? Why? Why??? There isn't any computer on the desk at all and a messy desk greeted me.

OMG! I sms-ed SGMale, he said "hahaha", nevermind lah, so long they can pay you well, so be it. Ok lor, I thought to myself, at least I got an aircon blowing at me, and that I won't be complaining about the hot weather like I did so everyday at home. What's more? It's free aircon and at the same time, hair-dryer cos it's blowing at my hair all the time, scattering my "dandruff" to all others.

Muhahahaha.....;p

Bidding farewell to life of a 'tai-tai'

Got a call this morning from my agency informing that I got the job I applied for and salary confirmation. I was asked to start work tomorrow and I agreed.

Have to bid farewell to my "tai-tai" status again and say "hello" again to working life. Have to pack up my lazy and carefree mood and put up my "concentration" mask to fight the battle from tomorrow onwards. Haha.... Isn't that scary? Just joking lah! I am glad that I have found this job, happy that I am able to learn new things.

Went down to agency to sign off the contractual agreement in the afternoon then went shopping with SGMale. He took some time off to celebrate this "special" occassion with me. As I am in good mood, I decide to cook dinner for SGMale.

Cod fish


Grilled prawns with cheese and scallops

Ending the sumptuous meal with
a bottle of Choya..yummy..;p

No Feeding of Monkeys

Before fetching our son this evening, we decided to drop by Bukit Timah Nature Reserve since we have not been there for ages.



We were greeted by the "No Feeding of Monkeys" sign before we walked into the Visitor Centre. Apparently the monkeys here are becoming a huge nusiance to the residents here.



The authority are taking serious actions to really curb the production of these monkeys. http://www.wildsingapore.com/places/monkey.htm.

Offenders will be fined S$500. Wow...better think twice before we toss any food to the monkeys in future.

Midnight Show at Lido

It has been a long while ever since both of us enjoy a show together, especially at Lido watching midnight show. We decided to catch a show since my parents are taking care of our son and Monday is a Public Holiday..hehehe!!

Brought our dinner from the food kiosk outside the cinema.



Lido has not changed a bit for a long time, probably time for a make-over soon?? Nevertheless, the seats inside is still by far the most comfortable in my own opinion.
