2009, 2010

开始着笔写2009年最后几行字

回顾一年 是每年尾例行的动作

也该拟下来年的目标和行动表


殊不知，去年的今天我没有拟下2009的目标...

所以，无从一一回顾目标是否落实了。


仲然如此，心中有数，2009是圆梦精彩的一年。


2009的第一次包括
－＞坐了１６次的飞机。
－＞沉醉在白茫茫的冰天雪地。
－＞一个人去背包旅行。
－＞３次在冷冷又小小的机场过夜经验．．．
等等


2009年的第1天，相公和我正在哈利波特作者的故乡，睡在冰箱里的那几页我们没齿难忘。被称为两位公主流浪记的旅程，实在难忘，那也是第一次让我懂得珍惜热带国家的生活。


Jan 2009


与相公道别，自个儿飞到白色的瑞典。从位于南部的首都斯德哥尔摩到北极圈的Abisko，在花了24个小时到南部瑞典的第二大城市，是一个人完成的。终于实现一个人旅行的快感，我实在享受。


Jan 2009


1月24-2月2日，我们4个女生到了西班牙-一个充满视觉色彩的国家。马德里不思议，只不过是个名牌的城市还有残忍的斗牛基地；巴塞隆纳才是每个人毕生得去一趟的国家，你一定要亲眼目睹Gaudi - 高迪的伟大作品，这包括出现在流行花园，还需几十年才完成的瞩目教堂；可爱精彩的Park Guell 等等...


Jan 2009


3月乖乖地上课... 也是09 年的最后一场雪。


4月冲到位于荷兰，属世界上最大的郁金香花园...那片壮观的花海是一辈子都不可能忘记的一幕...荷兰是个精彩的夜城市，也相信是‘红灯区’的名字由来..小孩堤防的19个风车也很漂亮！最后也踏上了比利时的土地。Made in Belgium就是巧克力最强的宣传伎俩...大象牌的，真的不错！！


Apr 2009


５月是交论文和努力应付考试的日子．．．最后的学业痛苦．．．



６月尾随着潮流搭上欧洲夏天之旅的最早列车．儿时的迪士尼乐园梦想达成了，看到巴黎的浪漫，也同时看到治安和友善那丑陋的画面。那个夜里，Florence的桥上，有演奏师画上比巴黎还要浪漫的音符，我多么期待我正靠在他身旁．．．我，还在细细回味那浪漫的余味．．．跨过洋人最爱的夏天天堂－Ｎｉｃｅ，然后抵达意大利。走过了斜塔，还有最具历史论议的罗马，阴天的威尼斯．．．最后，回到了伦敦，才知道伦敦比走过的欧洲城市都还要安全，干净，更适合省钱女性旅人游走的地方．．．

７月也一睹苏格兰的美。一个女生和两个从未见面的中国男生，架着车子，带着帐篷，看到最美最自然的苏格兰。我还想，回去，爬五姐妹山。


July 2009


７月也是一年努力最好的见证－我的大学毕业典礼。没有家人朋友的参与，我只有最亲爱的相公和那向日葵陪着我。






７月２５日，我回到新加坡见到他，结束了１１个月的远距离恋爱。那刻，梦醒了。



８月，他终于见到我的父母了。这也是证明我活了２３年的月份。


９月＆１０月，是人生的低潮期。失业，待业之间徘徊．．．


１１月开始了人生崭新的一页。找到了一份好工作。我说过，只要老板不苛求，薪水达某个程度，５天制，至少１４天年假。全部都有，我天天还有免费午餐呢！虽然不是餐餐好吃。

12月，就是回顾一年的月份，是尽情享受佳节的月份！

挥别2009，迎向2010 虎虎生威之年！


2010

1. 我要变美女，并有良好的体重管理。

2. 我要努力存钱挣钱为下个梦想奋斗。

3. 我要做个出色的厨师。

4. 我要做个精明的女人,包括财务消费处理等等...hohoho...

5. 我要买Oven,学烤面包。

6. 我要学包饺子。


好像，目标不多但都是很大并长远的目标...hahaha...

努力吧！

让我们一起垫高双脚，打开双手怀抱2010 虎年！

该属欢欣愉快的圣诞庆日，
何以让人如此低沉？

有些遗憾是永久性的

有些遗憾是一辈子的。

错过了那段日子，去到同样的地方还是永远找不回昔日的感觉。



真的羡慕可以一同走欧洲的情侣。

我的呢？
是永远存在脑子档案的虚拟画面而已。

虽然那段日子不好过，可我确实好想念好想念...
尤其是 近日来 面子书不断浮出友人英国留学，情侣游遍欧洲，还是男友赴西约会的照片...

我还能回到欧洲吗？
欧洲目前最让我想去的，就是北欧！
曾经也是胎死腹中的地点！

哦，还有 Wales.

The end is here.

Wuuoooooo... excited? festive mood? high?

i'm kinda feeling so-so.

my colleagues are getting 13th month bonus in 5days but not my business =(

fulfilling my dream in the first part of the year, and suffering for another half part =[

saving harder for next dream =D


i have actually many things to share, but it's really tired after working. Entirely different to my first job. The day passes very fast each day, very fruitful, busy and challenging. I hope to work longer in this company =D


Hope everyone has a very good Christmas :D

Haji的长假

希望那种加班到午夜的日子已经离我远去了...
最好是PASS AUDIT,这样我们的辛苦也值得，而且还有老板请大餐，我的直属经理还在口头上答应给我们部门的同事们轮流放一天假，因为我们加班得太辛苦了... （不算在年假里哦！)

说真的，工作了一个月，觉得同事都很不错，上司也很好。
我们女生回家，都会互相sms报平安；煮快熟面会一起吃，生日一起庆祝。老板没有加班，但也会买东西给我们吃。

希望会一直好好的，薪水一直步步高升~哈哈~

3天的长假其实无所事事。第一天都在家里洗刷长达一个星期多的衣物和床单，都是加班惹的祸，使我的衣服堆积如山还不够衣服穿上班呢！我也在那天完成了很久以来的小心愿- 自制泡菜！7天后才能品尝哦，希望成功啦！我做的是大马的版本，辣椒粉没用韩国的，希望还是不错的！做泡菜真的真的需要一整天，功夫多得很！




第2天到小舅家玩耍去！因为二舅也来新加坡感受圣诞气氛! 今年的乌节路因为ION的开幕而显得额外闪烁繁华绚丽~ 我也很喜欢呢~！可惜相机没电了，没拍到 =(

vivo也不错，但要绝对感受新加坡的圣诞气氛，还非得到乌节路呢！



［可爱的表弟妹们］

第3天，还是待在家里... 这几天就好象回到失业那段日子，闲闲的，却没有金钱压力，棒！！
话说，爸爸妈妈想念我，捎来信息。原来我加班的这两个礼拜都没有打电话回家。最引我发笑的是－爸爸说，２５年来，妈妈第一次传简讯给爸爸说：亲爱的，帮我打包ｔｏｍｙａｍ面。　爸爸看到简讯后马上飞速地打包好，亲自送到妈妈的面前．．．后来才知道，是我家的员工打的信息，自作聪明地加了那三个字。　妈妈说爸爸要扣他薪水，我笑说我要加他薪水！哈哈哈！　我可爱的父母，让我感到好开心！

休息够了，明天又是新的一周咯！向2009年最后一个月say hello, 不久后就要向2009 say good bye!!

我的２００９，总算是美丽落幕吧！

All about OT

The newest record - 11.45pm.

that's the time I stepped out of office, last night.

after OT-ing for many days, I lost count of how many extra hours I have been putting on. Today is the big thing - BRC (British Retail Consodium) Audit that last for 2 days. Today is production and other departments' show time and tomorrow is ours. I have completed what they asked me to do and still OT at this time, 6.35pm, to stand by.

How eagerly I anticipate the long weekend though I have not planned as I dun really have time to think about it. Probably it would just another weekend in Msia or rotting at home, which I love to. It would feel so good for not bringing your brain for the days.

Whatever it is, Thursday 6pm pls come earlier than I expected, PLEASE!!

After Thursday 6pm, it means BRC audit is over (the best is to pass the audit, else more works to be done!!), and long weekend is coming!! I can bring my brain to some center for therapeutic purpose.

Shopping day!

I promised to fork out $100 for my clothing fee from my first pay and I utilised them efficient and effectively!

Today, we went for 2012 (finally it's my treat), with a housemate, then I spent $97 for my clothes at Jurong Point. Kinda exciting to see sales everywhere which comes in the right time!

Guess what, $97 get me 2 one-piece-dress, 1 top, 1 formal pant and 1 pair of wa wa xie (cutie shoes which I can wear for work too!), 3 of them are half priced!

One thing that I learnt - I must earn my money to indulge myself like this!! Simply I cant and wont spend guy's money on this!! Feeling so great that I can finally shop like this, cause I earn and I spend!! It's totally feeling different from last 3 months that I kept myself from shops, and barely buying extra for foods, clothes and etc.

Friday!!

It's Friday!

Finally I can makan snake for a while, after OT for consecutive nights!


Today is a good day.

I was reluctant to get out of my bed cause it was chilling and I was very tired due to OT. While I walked towards office, I looked up and it was a clear blue sky assimilating what I used to see in Europe. My mind was filling with scenes in spring and summer this year.

Then, my room light is on. Strange. Oh, I have dou jiang you tiao on my table. So sweet and warm in the chilling morning! Only chef Eric was early and he admitted. Sadly, he is not only buying for me, but also other girls in our department lah. hahaaa....

we had some desserts accompanying by last wednesday lunch...

This was bought by my ong ong... one as my breakfast and another was just right for my dinner in office.

Deng deng deng deng!! I think it was kinda christmas menu and chef Feng brought the extra to us since he was preparing sensory evaluation for top management! Lamb and turkey...whoooo

That's all for now. It's lunch time. heez

=======continue after lunch==============

Another good news is...finally I get my very first pay as degree holder!!

Im going to buy working clothes, buy kitchen accessories, treat my ong ong a movie (its gonna be 2012!) and a good meal!! Then, debts to be paid off... contribute to my sister's education, jiayong etc! hope i can start my saving plan this month!!

Oh, 2011- good day!!

生病了

因爲星期五7點半，在那個冷冷的夜裏才離開公司...
導致我過了一個發燒感冒喉嚨痛的周末...
接下來，星期一勉強去上班, 結果后半天還是躺在床上...

希望明天可以完全康復，上班才兩個星期就拿病假，有點不像話...
雖然是上司叫我拿假，還有同事載我到診所，說真的，他們蠻不錯的。

第一天，我生病
第二天，我生病，他生病
第三天，我還在生病....他康復了...

希望，第四天我會康復啦~~

還有好多工作等我呢~

Mee hun kuay and cel element face mask.

Since h2 is posting their breakfast, and she said ours could be more lovely...
therefore, I have decided to post this - my favourite mee hun kuay on a lovely Sunday.
Again, it's made by him, after 3 months.



Sadly, now two of my important people are having high blood pressure,
we have to execute simple and plain (possibly tasteless due to low salt) foods,
eat more wholemeal foods like wholemeal bread/brown rice and increase consumption of fresh fruits and vegetable.

I'm glad that my mother's recent medical follow up results show that her blood pressure is controlled and the eyes do not need to operate/injection though the eyesight is affected. Hope the condition would be greatly improved with the careful diet and regular medicine, even after a year and subsequent medical appointment.

Health and Wealth - synergy power in the world.

As for woman, beauty is also crucial. I tried the mask my sister gave me (which was given by her press respondent months ago), and it turns out to be absolutely fabulous. I just look greatly refreshed, moisturized and whitened with greater complexion which makes my scars less obvious. But I dunno where can I get this, any idea?

Cel Element - Green Tea face mask.

With many photos for the past 2 weeks

My life starts making an upturn.
Hence, I have more photos to share XD

Story starts from the most recent...


This is the damn handsome and humurous award-winning chef Eric.
Friday was his birthday, age is disclosure (near 40).
He just doesnt look natural in any photo he has taken.
Trust me, he looks 100x more handsome than this pic (with 2 deep dimples).
BTW, his wife was Stewardess and now is the wedding planner-典型的帅哥美女配。

I mentioned before that we have free lunch everyday, let me show you what I have been eating so far. I just look forward to lunch everyday.


Friday


Thursday


Wednesday- every wed is noodle day, which is the worst one among all.


Tuesday - Good one.

Monday - absense as it was my first day of work, paiseh to take photo XD It was hainanese chicken rice, the best of the week.


We have some fun during the boring hours...This is drawn by the NYP internship student.




My mug (my 21st birthday gift from Janice) which has been following me from my first company, to temp job and finally she is here with me, again.


This fails. We have improved this version... keep it secret that this may be presented and seek approval XD


The cleaning aunty made this pumpkin cake for all of us.


Read the middle paragraph.
I really believe this one. heez
cause I look prettier when we first started XD

========================================
29/10 Thursday
The day I signed the employment contract, we went to seoul garden @ bugis for celebration.

It was 1-for-1 buffet with the birthday voucher.

So, we had it at about $25 if im not wrong.

assorted meats with diversified flavours and ice cream satisfied my stomach.

but, the kimchi isnt nice, quite dissappointed.

Love it

I definitely love the job.

Full of challenges.
Fun colleagues.
Cooking and amending recipe.
Clients and suppliers.
Hot fill and retort plants.
Free lunch.
Free sample (biscuits today)sometimes.
$0.90/bus or train ride.
Reach in 40min.
Flexible working time and attire.

Exciting. Busy. Flexible.

The only thing is the pay.

The best is 5day.
The worst is tired after working everyday, and sample sensory evalution everyday (here it ruins my slimming plan)

ISO22000&BRC manual reading and updating week @.@
Audit coming end of the month...
Tml meeting my very first client and supplier.
And she goes to Army camp site for surveying.


BTW, its not our fault to provide not-so-good-taste foods for our beloved NS men.
(but it's definitely nutritious enough and fulfil the minimum calories requirement and carbo/fat/protein/fibre ratio)
Blame the tight budget given =p
It's damn stressful to work with them, plenty of requirements to fulfil.

It's the day.

It's the day.

Tonight I shall not suffer insomnia though I worry I'm too excited that I cant turn into bed.

Out of blue, I'm craving for roti taiwan in Penang. OMG.
I want Penang breakfast like roti taiwan or the hainan roti and kopi from Lebuh Campbell.

roti taiwan





Oh shit... I start feeling excited and anxious. Hate filling those declaration papers, declare for your financial, family business, insurance, security, and email/internet usage etc. That's working in Big (but still local) company.

It's the day. Same to Laoda too. It's an important day for tiger-leo ppl. heez

Aza-aza fighting!

Today's sunset is lovely =)

看到曙光了

终于，盼到了．

隐隐约约看到曙光的那种激动和兴奋加上感激的感觉是　奇妙的。

坚持后得来不易的这一切，我会珍惜。


想不到，这一刻，我竟然词穷。

老土的话还是要说，我不得不感谢在身边支持我的王老板。心情低落沮丧都是他中招也。
还有爸爸妈妈一直让我慢慢来，昨夜还说不要紧，不喜欢不用接受。
当然还有好多朋友支持我，珊姐竟然说要把我搬上论坛；当然还有给我加油的朋友们。

幸好，我坚持。

我打败了那些沮丧低落消沉的日子，我要重新迎接充满希望的人生。

我会努力，谢谢给与的机会，我相信一切会很好。

一切一切开始明朗化，我也找到新的人生梦想了！给我１２年！


What's your dream?
一个面试官的问题竟然让我深思，并找到目标！

What is an interview?

interview is about how good your lying skill is.

Debate this statement. I paused few seconds while my friend told me this, and then I agreed. But, you gotta make your lie flawless at that moment. Perhaps, you can say that you know how to lie depending on your opponent, or just exaggerate on what you are competent of. The better your talking skill, the better you are in the interview session.

And so, she got a good designer job with a damn good pay, at least, it means a good pay to me. She said, impressive resume with good layout and fabulous and hard-sell-yourself interview are equally important, just that they happen at different stages.

I rated average on my performance during last friday's interview with the potential employer. I should have exaggerated more, hard sell myself instead of just telling the truth and giving the information. Impressed them, sell me and negotiate the salary!

Tomorrow I'm going for an interview with agent, not sure how to deal with her, but I'm gonna find out. Advise me if you have any ideas.

Interview is a powerful skill. I'm working hard on this skill, what to answer correctly for possible question. understand what your potential employer wants to know.

U know u need this skill to guarantee a job in the competitive employment world, the next step after drafting an impressive resume and cover letter. You are both the product and the salesman. Sale yourself.

I'm always cant make the lie perfect. I should have exaggerated my work performance and answer the perfect answer accordingly.



As for my life... It's depressed most of the time, together with PMS and damn hot weather making hot temper, someone kena badly. Too bad, doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Fails totally.

Finally it's here, after making me suffer for more than a week. Woman is so pity!! We have to endure the pain~!!! Better dont be woman next time!!

Sorry guys I couldnt make it eventually. next time!!

An interview is coming!

I had the best ever sleeping quality in Kedah, I must recommend Zen Hotel in Alor Setar. I'm not sure what else hotels are available there, but Zen Hotel is definitely not to miss. I dont remember I woke up for once since I slept. This never happen since I'm back from UK.

Thanks Crab Xiang Gong, Love the choice!!

But sleeping problem is bothering me as usual after that. Tension is the best word to describe. I feel tense and pressure throughout my body esp the time I turn on to the bed. My mind is filled with many many things ranging from job, life, money, cooking and future. Quite funny that I would always think what to cook next day. I admit, I love cooking XD

Nevertheless, I have a chance to attend an interview on Friday! I think I will be happy enough to get in this food company, the biggest local listed food company in Singapore. UK business contributes to 50% of the company's turnover. Not sure what they are interested about me. I may have only little chance but I will get myself prepared for it!! This may prove that changing my resume and sending more than one time resume to the same position work! XD

It's kinda touch as I finally grant a chance to interview since my last interview last month. Quite pathetic. I know.

Whatever, I'm also preparing an audition for another party...If this works, I may have the chance to earn some side income once in a blue moon. haha.

I keep telling myself, good days are coming as long as I hold on.



*PRAY!*

Back from Penang, again.

What a great months since Im back. It's my 3rd visit to homeland since I'm back from UK.

We had a relax short holiday to Penang and Alor Setar.

Though almost all friends and family asked what does it to do with you about your friend's parents' 30th wedding anniversary. We still went, though only 2 of us. (boh bian, tickets were bought)

The funnist thing was that I busy looking at the map in Penang Streets. Planned to take RapidPenang for the journey but ended up driving my sister's car around town and a free ride by a local tour guide, except we took bus from Airport to Komtar. RapidPenang services need to improve and learn from SG's public transport. Give them some time. Afterall, none of Chinese Penangites would ever take the public transport unless all of their cars in the family/friends are broken.


Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, tours at 11pm and 3pm only.
Chinese tour needs to request one day in advance.
No public visitors allowed at other time.
RM12, worth the price to see how smart CFT was...


VIP room in Pinang Peranakan Mansion. RM10, tour at any time. Both English and Chinese tours are available all day according to the personnel.


The highly recommended Paddy Museum in Alor Setar, Kedah. RM3/entry and RM2/camera. The 360 degree rotating poster illustrating the paddy farming over a year is surprisingly terrific!

The most interesting part is the visit to Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion and Pinang Peranakan Mansion. The tour in blue CFT Mansion is more organised than PP Mansion but PP Mansion is better for taking photos. Interior building of CFT is not allowed for photo taking due to large money invested to the maintenance of the house. Paid RM1000 and u get to take photos. P Mansion is part of the important shooting place for the famous Little Nyonya!!!

nasi kampung in AS, a sambal fried rice that I'm gonna try cooking it next few days XD

roti taiwan, soft bread with butter, peanut butter and peanut. Perfectly contented.

roti taiwan
three layers tea

Where Lin Guan Yin likes to have breakfast
the coffee bread toast!
the awesome kopi
Even better than fu rong sao bao

No where else can present the best foods than Penang, especially those hawker foods. DELICIOUS!! Yummy!! 'drooling again. The day we arrived SG, he first uttered: we are back to a land lack of nice foods.

I mean as compared to Penang which has plenty of cheap and nice foods... Here is undoubtedly a loser.

Before leaving to SG, dad gave me notes of RM50 which I first rejected. I feel so useless for keep taking parents' money even I have graduated with a degree for 3 months!! What a shame!!!

I seriously dont know what goes wrong and where is my luck for getting a good job. It's simply unbelieveable and unbearable.

I'm patiently waiting the day I can treat my parents a good meal, and bring them to travel. I'm waiting the day!!!

I damn hate those san gu liu po discussing me. It seems like I'm really choosy and not willing to work even I have graduated for months. I hate it and ironically I heard this from my grandma who get the news from her sister, who I never seen before, but she is residing in Singapore. Dont ever let me know who is she even I met her one day. Geramnya #$$%$^%$&$* I want to be unemployed meh...kanasai........



What's wrong to me these few months??

It went unanswered.







Lastly, dedicated this photo to shark H2...finally he can bully u..muahaha
