Angel Day

HAPPY 19TH BIRTHDAY TO YOU, ANGELINE!

Didn’t celebrate with you on the actual day, but we’ll make it up with one which will be much more fun! (Planning in progress =D)

My wish for you would be to graduate from ITE with good grades and go to the same Polytechnic with me! Let’s be schoolmates for the next three years as well! Wahahaha… This feels like my wish instead of yours..

Well, Enjoy your day and look forward to your special belated celebration on Sunday! Hehe.. =)

 

Another chapter

Had my first day of attachment at Ascott on the 12th of October, and found out i was attached to one of the property they manages: Somerset Orchard. And up until now I had no complains whatsoever for the place or the people there.

I was to complete both the Front Office and Housekeeping Department for the six months there, and i started with Front Office first. The experience was pretty refreshing, and a tad familiar because of the practical we had at school previously. (I bet Housekeeping’s the same)

I had to go through the greetings, formalities, as well as shifts training. I found that there was a lot that i need to learn and memorize in a very short time. (I’m glad I’m still coping well!)

Wasn’t really used to the 9.5 hours of work each day, but the friendliness of the staff *More credits to F/O: Fizah, Melina, Kamsa & Anna* there made it bearable, bit by bit. (I’m so thankful that i have two off days each week too). There’s just a tiny catch….

I’ll also get the chance to be attached to the Engineering and Maintenance Department (I’ll get to torture Joe and Fadhly! *Hopefully*) as well as to our RM at the near-final stages of our attachment. I bet there’s a lot more stuff to be learnt.

For now, you’ll see me Taking One Step At A Time.

PS. I also got to complete my 5000 words report and powerpoint presentation for this! =X

 

D&D @ Concord

It’s been awhile since my last update..

And how time flies! It’s time for our Graduation Night on 1st October (Masquerade themed)!

The info for our D&D came very late, and i was glad i managed to get a dress before then. (You can’t IMAGINE how last minute it was)

It’s really too bad that Fen wasn’t able to come, or else we’d had a full gathering before our attachment! =(

Anyway. Our event’s theme was Masquerade, but i don’t see much people wearing the masks. And it was held at Concorde Hotel, a not-too-fancy hotel if you ask me. Was actually expecting someplace better. Oh well.

The total turnout for our class was pretty depressing, but all the same i really appreciate the presence of those who went. It made it all that much more fun! =D

We were able to enjoy ourselves with major photo taking sessions and indulging in huge eating binges. (The food wasn’t that great, but i love the pudding =D Guess i really have a fondness for desserts)

Didn’t went straight home after that. (What disobedient kids! Haha..) Went to catch a late night movie instead.

Surrogates. The ending was pretty simple. The hero saves the day with one simple combination, and the end. Pretty predictable, and it wasn’t that great of a movie.

All in all, I’m real glad that we were able to spend our day together. I finally got to meet the rest and enjoy ourselves together. THAT’s the best part =DD

Let’s make it a deal to meet up and enjoy ourselves once again in the near future! ;D

PS. Update photos after i get them from Karin =)

 

Changi Airport

Went to Changi Airport’s terminal 3 for the Xin Wang HK Cafe for dinner. The food’s not bad, maybe just because I’m already a tad too full before my meal. Thus, affecting my judgement.

Really had fun with the 2 girls playing around there. Especially the part where we got to play with the “make your own woodblock print with local icons”. I really like the part where we got to choose the print we wanted and go ahead with rubbing it out =D

And the stamps with peranakan symbols were cool. I got to stamp out some very defined ones. Hehe. I enjoyed moving the jigsaw puzzle-like pictures there too =)

All in all, terminal 3 isn’t a boring place to be in. It just depends on where you look for the fun =)

 

Steamboat

Had a mini steamboat at Christina’s house around mid-afternoon. We went to buy the ingredients and bought quite a lot of items (well, it felt that way) which actually costs way cheaper than a usual steamboat shop.

Found that the preparation job were tedious (now we know why steamboats are so expensive, huh). We got to enjoy our hard work after all the cutting and washing etc =D

A tiny problem cropped up in the midst of it, but were resolved thanks to Christina’s relative. And we got to enjoy our time catching up, chatting and of course, Gossip. Haha.. About what? That’s for me to know and for you to find out! Hehehe =P

Really enjoyed my day with you guys. Let’s do it again some other time! (without the glitch next time!) Haha..

 

Aftermath~

Hehe.. It’s the second day after my Events and Catering Management exam! Can still recount what we did to commemorate our so-called graduation. Photos galore! Haha..

Anyway, went to work early in the morning today. And i mean super early as i’m in the morning shift. Yawn~

Met up with Bai, Joce, Mae and Karin after work. Joce couldn’t take the Final Destination and kept hurrying me to reach Vivo city at a faster speed. Alas, when i reached there the movie already ended =.=  Lol. So in the end, poor joce sat through the entire movie unwillingly =(

Had our dinner at The Green Cafe. I like the ambience as well as the good service and it’s excellent for those budget conscious people, but i can’t say the same for the food. The place will be perfect if it were to improve more on their food =)

Hohoho. Went for late night sightseeing after supper =D

It’s a very fun and novel experience ^^

 

SAF Open House

Went to the Army for the Open House at Pasir Laba camp. It appears that all of the ITE students went there. Very packed! Haha..

First stop. Combat world. Went to see a video first before we headed over to see the weapons that will be used against enemies. A lot of cool machineries there =)

Took a few class pictures near the statue there. Haha.

We also got to see a  live demo of what they would do to stop terrorists. I like the way the dog bites the ‘terrorist’. Poor guy. Lols.

Last stop at Fun house. There’s dance and fusion band performances inside the big big tent with booths selling stuff. There’s chinese instruments accompanied by keyboard! Impressive performance =)

Bought cotton candy and shared with Jocelyn. Super big portion. To bad i forgot to take pictures.  I also went and bought a keychain worth $8 with Karin. As a memento =D

I saw Mui Ting when i was buying the cotton candy! Turned out she came here for a visit too. Didn’t see her since … okay, i can’t remember when. It’s very long ago. We even said we’d meet up soon! Haha. Looking forward to it already =D

Stayed back after the trip and completed the final touches to our ECM report. All of us went crazy in the classroom after that. Lols. Really enjoyed myself with you girls. Im sure this won’t be the last we see of each other! Meet up after 6 months! Haha… XD

 

Final Dash

Was supposed to meet up with the others for compilation of ECM report at 12 pm at Bugis today. And i happened to have overslept. Haha.. Reached there at 1.30 pm instead. Sorry, guys =P

We worked at the report until about 5 pm. Then we decided to go to a masquerade store to look for some masks for our Dinner and Dance night. There were a wide variety for you to choose from, like those which you hold in your hands and those which you wear over your eyes. Maybe we’ll go back there for our masks =D

Looked for Dez after that and waited for her to have dinner together. Haha.. Siju was super hungry and looking forward to breaking her fast.

We went to iluma’s Burger Empire. The food’s not bad, with a very big serving. Definitely worth the money =)

Well, hope that we can tie the little loose ends of our report tomorrow. Then, i can fully concentrate on my ECM exam (8 chapters altogether. Jia you for me! Haha) =D

 

Another year passed

Happy Teachers’ Day!!!

Went back to BDS early in the morning to find that we were there an hour before the celebration! This year’s celebration was so late =(

Saw the usual teachers: Mr Muru, Mr Kamath (Not sure if spelled correctly), Mrs Mah, Mrs Dijie, Mr Yao, Mr Sum, and surprisingly, Ms Yang! Wow. I didn’t even know she came back to teach! Haha.. Of course, there were a lot of other teachers too.

Met quite a lot of other graduates. Some were those whom i didn’t see for a long time! Haha.. Realized that time really flies. I’ve already graduated for 2 years! Can you believe it?! Lols.. However, there were a lot more junior graduates than senior ones. Perhaps they were too busy to go back…

After that, we met up with Angeline and Yilin at TM for lunch! (I’m starving. Lol) Went to Pizza Hut for the student meal before hitting the movies. We watched Final Destination 3D! Woots! Excellent show. This taught me not to overlook any minor motions which may then lead to a major disaster.

Dinner at 58 market after that. We had a fabulous time gossiping and catching up. Haha.. I’m sure there’s more to look forward to =D

 

A perfect ending with an A

It’s finally the big day for our event management project- wedding!

Woke up early in the morning to prepare and went to school dragging our stuff in plastic/paper bags of all sizes. Was late in meeting the rest as i went to buy the transparent colored plastics and sparkling grape juice.

Decorations was in full force when i reached the messy classroom. Had a few problems putting up the drapes, but resolved it anyway =)

After we were done, the entire classroom looked so different from before we decorated it. The effect was excellent =D

Problems appeared somewhere in our program list, but with the help from our Emcee of the day (Bas), we managed to end our event happily without any glitches.

Am so proud of ourselves XD

Even though we spent a lot of time and quite a sum of money on this project, i felt that everything was worthwhile. (Won’t be thinking of doing any other event anytime soon though. Haha.)

Taking a break from all these was what I’m most looking forward to =DD

PS. We got to hand in our PIC Report successfully too! *Though i had a lot of sleepless nights previously because of it. Lols* Hope we got an A for the report! =)
