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
