Happy Birthday to Wany!

Spent the day with Wany watching Harry Potter (twice), eating cakes and just be typical tai-tais.

We watched the new Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince twice at different locations in the same day...

GV Gold Class Vivocity 12.30pm & The Cathy Citibank Screening 7.15pm.

We ordered the Gold Class set menu at $29 per person and ate until wanna faint.
.
Gold Class Set Menu includes:
Coffee/Tea, Starter, Main course & Dessert!!~
.
We had English Breakfast tea, Mushroom soup, Chicken Wings w Wedges & Blue Berry cheesecake. Super super yummy yums!
.
The Chicken wings are getting from bad to worse.. super undercooked. But the Mushroom soup and blueberry cheesecake is super super yummy! I am super craving for it again!
.
Anyway I told her that she spoils me so much by bringing me to Gold Class to watch so many times, now I don't wanna go normal cinemas and watch anymore! Shall wait for the movies to go on cable before watching them.. and only save up to watch Gold Class for movies that I really really like. :)

Afterwards we took train down and walked over to The Cathy, stopping by 1Caramel for cakes and coffee.

Wany loves the fridge!

3 cakes + 1 cafe latte + 1 ice mocha = S$40++!!Super expensive and super not worth it, cos the cake were either too soggy or too creamy. Nice decor and ambience though.. that's all you are paying for.

We walked over to The Cathy and watched Harry Potter again, and since it's the second time around.. we tried to point out as many "mistakes" that we can. Loopholes and scenes which they cut out.. WHICH IS A LOT!

Anyway I can't wait to watch BRUNO!

Austrain gay guy in America. Gotta be damn fucking funny. Anyway Wany never watched BORAT before. Omg. It's like one of the Top 10 most funny movies ever. Must go buy the DVD and force her to watch. LOL!

Make-up never melt after one whole day! I heart Laura Mercier products. Many thanks to Tabby for introducing me to this wonderful make-up brand! :D

Nice pink top with braiding details bought in Padini Authentics, KL at RM55 = S$22.70 :)

My outfit today is all pinkified. I wore my pink shirt, pink sandals, pink bag, pink camera! :D Cos it's Wany's fave colour and mine of course. Haha.

Btw, i tried on this dress in Warehouse. It's $133, super expensive, and a bit tight at the chest area.. but it's super sweet and nice. :(


Would like to thank Wany for accompanying me the whole day and treating me to watch Harry Potter twice. Hahahaha.

Transformers 2 @ Vivocity Goldclass w Wany!

There are so many reasons why I adore GV Gold Class!

1. Priority Queue with red carpet
2. Special lounge to wait in so you need not mingle with "commoners"
3. Ushers that bring you to your seat
4. Order main courses from the Menu (Yummy mushroom soup!)
5. Posh toilets (but only 2 cubicles)

and many many more.

 But mainly I like the exclusivity of being "Gold Class".

As expected.. 90% of the theater is filled with Ang Mohs drinking champange and wine.. guess they are the only recession-proof people in Singapore after all...

Overall, the movie was good. I may say 3.5 stars out of 5. It's not perfect cos the plot is a bit sketchy and at some parts it doesn't mesh well together.. like suddenly jump to another scene/storybit and you'll go "huh?".

But the graphics were way cool. And there were a few new additional of robots, both good and bad. So it is very very nice. I love the transforming part!

I guess Wany must have enjoyed the movie too.

At some parts I was laughing out loud, but everyone kept quiet. Maybe my brand of humour is different from other people? Cos when they were laughing, i just kept quiet... or maybe i catch the jokes faster than them?

oh wells.

Don't we just look like tai tais...?
LOL.

After movie we did our usual tradition of taking pictures with upcoming movie posters that we would like to watch!

Old man with big fat nose!

Wany covering Harry Potter's face cos she says he look uglier and uglier.

Are you short enough for your cheapo parents to bring you in for free?

After the movie we went to Marks & Spencer to look at clothes... saw these hot orange and bright red pants and asked Wany if they were nice...

And she said: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

We took some clothes to try, and she says I look like my mother when I wear flowery clothes cos my mum loves such clothes. EEK! I dun wanna look like her!

TMIS CSP Graduation Day!

TMIS = Tourism Management Institute of Singapore

CSP = Certified Service Professional

Today is our graduation day after 5 days of intensive training!


See? We are all super happy people!

We made the graduation hats ourselves using tape and construction paper. Super creative!

Team Champion

This is my team of 7 members including me, and I thought up of the name cos "We are the Champions!" and "We will rock u!"

A bit lame la.. but it sticks. Haha.

We also celebrated the teacher's birthday! Her name is Sue Wong and she is super nice and sweet.

I had the idea asking everyone to chip in $2 each (total 27 students) to buy her a cake to celebrate and buying her a big card and taking pictures of the 4 teams and printing them out and asking everyone to write something on the card..

Super nice right?

"I am so smart, I scare myself!"

I even took a pic of her and pasted it in.. hahaa!! I gave her a Pashmina scarf I bought in Turkey and a nice keychain that says: "No 1 Lecturer!".

We have special duties like Service Hosts and Banquet Team.

Service Hosts : Have to decorate classroom, prepare something special to welcome the class
Banquet Team : Have to serve school-provided food to classmates, and if possible bring additional food!

We have 2 breaks each day, 10.30am is the morning break and 3pm is the afternoon break. So there are 2 different banquet teams each day.

Each team will have a chance to do something, and all of us enjoyed it very much!

Today during PM break there wasn't any food provided so we had to bring our own. My clever colleague, Ms Khamisah suggested collecting $7 from each person to cater for a high tea!


$7 for 7 dishes is damn cheap. And the food is damn good... yums.

After the high tea, it's Party time!

We had performances from different groups, song recitals.. and my favourite is the lap dance by one of my colleague, Nielson!
See!

I laughed until I collasped on the floor!

My teacher laughed until cried and she had a stitch!! HAHAHA!!

After the party was the Award Ceremony for the certificates and the giving out of two special prizes; Best Learner Award & Most Promising Award. The whole class have to vote, survivor style, by writing on a small piece of paper, the name of the person they would like to nominate for the award.

And.........

I WON MOST PROMISING AWARD!

Super happy can? I shall go sleep cos I am super exhausted from the laughing, speech-making and skits.

Turkey Trip

I went on a 10 days familiarization trip to Turkey which was sponsored by my company! :)

I think that most people have a bad impression of Turkey. Thinking that the country is dirty, people are evil, food is bad.. blah blah. But I really think that once you give a place a chance and go and experience it for yourself, you will find yourself pleasantly surprised. I think that Turkey is a very beautiful country with a rich history. 

It's also very fascinating cos it's the only country bridging Europe and Asia.. There are snow-capped moutains, beautiful landscapes and there's the beautiful Agean Sea, Black Sea & Sea of Mara Mara...

I went on the Hot Air Balloon in Cappadocia, saw the whirling dervishes performance, went for the Turkish Bath and cruise on the Straits of Bosphorous.

Now I can add Europe to my travel list! Haha.. Cos i've been on the European side of Istanbul.. and I can also add in Dubai, cos I've walked around Dubai International Airport twice during the transit. LOL!

What I've learnt in Turkey:

Do not smile at everyone and do not be too friendly
They will interpret that you are "easy" and leading them on to take advantage of you. Be firm, smile sparingly and do not hem haw with the men there.

Most men like plump girls
Needless to say, I was bullied incessantly by the men over there, especially at Grand Bazaar. They kept trying to touch me on the pretext that I am cold and I need a hug and a kiss from them.. Like huh? It's 30degrees lah! Where got cold??? One man even knelt in front of me, hugged my knees and refused to let go.. kept on kissing my hands and fingers. I was sooooooooooooo traumatized, I ran out of the Grand Bazaar and sat at a cafe till the stipulated meeting time.

Lentil Soup is THE soup
Every meal - breakfast, lunch and dinner.. you will see Lentil Soup, Lentil Soup and more Lentil Soup... it taste so powdery and weird.. Bring your own instant Mushroom Campell Soup like me and you won't go mad - unless you like Lentil Soup

It's really hot as it's summer now in Turkey and I became really tanned even though I put a lot of sunblock lotion. :( My trainer and the local guide + driver are all very nice to me and I had lots of freebies! Well, my trainer said it's because the local guide looks me as I am plump. -__- Dunno if I should be happy that I am so well received over there. Hur hur.

Below are some of the pictures from my trip! :) 

Elson's BBQ Birthday Party

It's Elson's birthday, and he invited a few of us for a BBQ gathering at Downtown East Chalet..

Not many people turned up though.. i think in total there was only around 12 people including me and Pipimon.. most probably many of them were overseas or were busy cos this silly Elson only informed everyone 1 week prior the BBQ, and some of the kiasu ones made plans in advance of at least 2 to 3 weeks.

Anyways, Elson's friends bought him two balloons which are super cute.

I called them Turtle & Pig..

Very unimaginative I know... but a spade is a spade mah. We took many many pictures with the balloons.. well, Me and Nat took many many pictures.. too many!

We even brought them for a walk.. attracting many stares from other people who either think we are cute, acting cute, or just plain crazy.

Nat and I were there early to help with the preparations and when his friends arrived, we began to relax and camwhore with Turtle and Pig. Afterwards, I helped in putting the candles on the Awfully Chocolate cake which Elson's friends bought for him...


We sang Happy Birthday to the boy at around 10.30pm -- which by this time his parents have already went home! So no pictures of his parents. :(

But his mummy damn cute lah. HAHAHA. She was wearing a Bad Badz Maru teeshirt lah!
*sings* Bad badz maru... deng deng deng... (my siblings will know. lol)
