2weeks+ since i last blogged!! i always tell myself on every off-day that i want to blog...but i end up being so lazy to do so!! i'm going out to e site more often than previously...almost everyday now!! and yes...i've became more tanned!!!
went to Night Safari with Sexists on 24th oct...i was feeling ok initially! but i started to feel scared as i got near e place!! i don't really understand why people are spending $22 just to scare themselves while taking a walk in e forest or a ride in e trams!! haha luckily our tix were free (credits to Yvonne)...if not i would have backed up immediately! haha
i worked e next day (yes on a sunday!)...and i don't know for what reason, 1 friend brought her cam so we took many photos! in case you're wondering what we do in office on sundays...we watched Madagascar 1&2 for e 1st week, watched Final Destination 1, 2&3 e week after, were allowed to go out and get KFC for lunch on e 3rd week, and bascially just slacked our way through with games and stuff for e 4th one!! haha slack huh? many people are saying...seems as though we're paid to watch movies on sundays! lolx oh btw, e 2 group pics below are not full-strength!! my batch has 42 of us but only 20+ worked on that day!!
went for sushi with 3 of my colleagues after work on 30th oct...a pity 5-6 people from my usual group couldn't turn up. *never mind...i'll try and organise another dinner together soon!!*
-------
i have this thought recently (i was bored at work so i was thinking about alot of stuff)....i kind of miss e times when i hang out with Clarence and Regina!! it seems real long since i last met them...and i wonder how they've been these months. not forgetting Grace in Dubai, Mel in Canada and Yisheng in Melbourne. i hang out with my colleagues, Sexists, Patty and Danile, Alvin and Jianqi once in a while...but not this group of friends!! =(
my colleagues and i thought of this...when we're at work, we'll count down to our next off-day. every week, we'll count down to our next pay-day. and e cycle goes on. haha from next week onwards, my schedule's gonna change to 7.30am to 9pm for 1 shift. but instead of our usual 5days work week, it'll be changed to 4days of work and 3days of rest. we don't know if it's a good or bad thing. well, both have pros and cons!! let's see how we can manage...

2weeks ever since i started work. so far so good. some days, we got to go to e themepark construction site to be part-time security guard. if not, we'll stay in e site office and gossip amongst e people in my batch or play games. haha some of my colleagues said i've became darker as compared to e 1st time they saw me. tell me who won't get tanned after standing under e sun for a few hours? lol
worked for 7days straight and i'm finally getting my long-awaited off days for today and tomorrow!! sad to say, i've got a super bad cough and itchy sorethroat now!! not just me, a few other friends got it too. i suppose it's from all e dust from e site...e worst is drinking water doesn't help much!! =(
soft opening of e themepark is 60+ days away!! and i heard that we're allowed to bring our families and friends to try out e rides during e soft opening!! haha my sis already booked e 1st place...i don't know if it's true and i'm also not sure how many people we're allowed to bring...but who's interested?? first come first serve!!!! lolx

started working on 7th oct. attended a 2days corporate induction programme at RWS (resorts world at sentosa) training centre at jurong east. together with a group of 57 people, we had much fun and laughter during the programme although it was a first-time meeting for most of us!! people from all walks of life, different ages, different races, from different countries...
in this programme, we learnt about RWS, safety, interaction with guests and most importantly, working as a team!!! we played a few team-bonding games these 2days....the last game we played this afternoon was the most challenging. despite failing many times, we never gave up and continued till we succeeded. and because of our many failed attempts previously, success tasted especially sweet at the end!!
starting from tomorrow, we'll be training at RWS in sentosa itself. *yes! no more long journeys to jurong east. haha* although the next few months will not be easy, but i'm sure this's gonna be an experience which i'll never ever forget!! and with this batch of friends whom i'm trained with, i can foresee hell loads of fun during training and at work!!

i'm officially an attractions crew of Universal Studios Singapore!!!
went to sign the contract just now, and i'm so looking forward to the start of my job!! haha
i've been to a few themeparks in japan and korea, and it was then that i wish to work in a themepark. *fun environment, interaction with people etc.* it's not some big dream, but i'm still glad that my wish came true.
the pay isn't high (at least compared to e pay given to me by marina bay casino), but i know for sure that i'll love it.
Universal Studios, here i come!!!! =))

went out with Patty, Danile, Bertram and Benjamin in the evening to celebrate Patty's birthday. i found this western restaurant in CHIJMES from a website and we decided to try it out (since it had high reviews and e atmosphere was nice). i must say, the baby back pork ribs which i ordered were really delicious!! got her a hello kitty cake, as requested by birthday girl. haha after a filling dinner, we walked to esplanade and we gossiped alot about those times (which were like just 5months back). lol
i'm sure that after tonight, there's bond to be some problems arising again. let's see what changes will take place....
-------
my cousin-in-law gave birth to a baby girl on thursday (17th sept), named Anne-Marie. with 3 kids currently, they still want to go for a 4th one!! haha as of today, i have 5 nephews and 3 nieces (and more to come). *i feel so old!!!!*
going to my uncle's housewarming party tonight. the house which my uncle rebuilt used to be the house that my mum and her siblings stayed in when they were young. it's situated in s'goon gardens. i guess it's gonna be a mixture of feelings when they step in. same plot of land, same people (except 1 uncle who has passed away) but everything has changed. how nice will it be to reminisce about their childhood days in that new house......

went back to my primary school for a "Meet Your Former Teachers of OLGC" high-tea session. saw quite a number of people from my batch but i didn't recognise most of them. instead, a few still remembered me and that made me surprised. my pr6 chinese teacher didn't forget that my dad is a chinese teacher...she even asked if i want to be a teacher too!! haha
it's the school's 50th anniversary next year and they'll be organising a few events such as dinner and musical. hope to get more people to join in these activities... =)
*Happy Birthday, Jianqi*

had a heavy supper yesterday night. met up with Regina, Grace, Clarence and Eileen Khoo for steamboat and xiao long bao at Holland Village Crystal Jade. Eileen Ho came too but she didn't eat. although majority of us didn't eat much for the day before this meal, we ended up stuffing down the xiao long bao and had much steamboat leftovers. no matter what, it's a really nice meal and it's a good recommendation for my friends.

had a helpers' meeting yesterday afternoon at my sis's new home to prepare for her ROM. i didn't realise that her ROM's just 6weeks away!! it seems as though there's so much things to do yet so little time. i thought my job was rather simple, after all she asked me to be the bride's helper. but she ended up giving me alot of extra duties!! seems like i'll be quite busy next month. haha
watched "The Proposal" with my 2nd sis on friday evening. seriously a nice movie...about 3/4 of the show was hilarious!! i laughed till i had tears in my eyes. it had it's touching parts too....really nice. catch it if you're free. =)
