In this moment .... Apologize

NICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!


David Archuleta - In This Moment
Driving through the city for the first time you and me
Staring through windows at my own reflection
How can a window encompass perfection
Now that I know what it's like to be living
This beautiful world will never stop giving
I can't return to a life with no vision
Born into eyes not by my own decision

-Chorus-
I wanna be in this moment, no one can take it from me
I wanna stay in this moment, no one can take it away from me

Give me a chance and I'll show you what's real
Open your eyes and you'll see
That I'm stuck in a moment and no one can take it from me

-Chorus-
I wanna be in this moment, no one can take it from me
I wanna stay in this moment, no one can take it away from me

Songkran

Am back from my trip, ahhhhh ... Songkran, heard a lot bout it and finally got the chance to experienced it. It's fun and I was extremely impressed by their culture. Their celebration really means CELEBRATION!!! I thought splashing water and dancing on the street is only meant for youngster but I was wrong, even uncles and aunties do that. They really let down their hair and went for it. It was so happening and to some extend it became quite irritating. I don't mind getting wet and all dirty in the day but when night comes, when we dress nice nice for playground, next thing .... SPLASH ~~~~ all wet!!! I know splashing of water is meant to be blessed but when you're all dressed up ... sigh ... Anyway, I did enjoyed it (but this trip seems a bit short, time really flies!!)

Went to karaoke this trip at JukeBox in Pattaya. Had a lot of fun there. Hmmm ... the following MTV does bring a lot of laughter that night. And it is a very good song .....

I think the next trip, we should plan for karaoke again. *_* Hopefully next trip will come sooner than I expect.



The following is a 3 part MTV which is extremely nice. The song is sooooooo good and the video is excellent. Enjoy ............

Part 1 ~ Khon Mai Gap Reur - Baowie


Part 2 ~ Piang Song Rao - Bew Kalayanee


Part 3 ~ Korb Koon Tee Ruk Gun - Luangkai

Overspent !!!

Planned to have my 1st tattoo done this month as well but ftee will not be doing it, so might need to cancel the idea. But, I might get it done in Thailand. Just endure 1 more day and Pattaya ... here we come ........ ^o*

Tai-Tai kinda life for a day

It was an unexpected tai-tai feeling kinda day! To start off, meet up with a bunch of good old friends for lunch at Ayam Peyet Ria at Lucky Plaza. The place was so crowded and we had to queue in order to get a seat. After the lunch, went to Canele @ Paragon for coffee and desserts. Jasmine was working there so got some discount lah. They serve very good cakes! It's a MUST try. Had a lot of laugh there with Ly, Boy, Mery and Ivan.

After the dessert session, planned to have bird's nest at this cafe which I read before from a magazine, but in the end, we were to full, so gave it a miss. All of them are so kind that they accompany me to look for a luggage bag which I wanted to buy for quite some time already. Went to a few mall, hmmm ... let me list it out, John Little, OG, Plaza Singapura, Isetan as well as DFS! In the end, didn't buy any cause it's either not the one that I had in mind or the price is just not right. I have a budget you see. Cannot afford to overspend cause my upcoming hometown trip is just round the corner.

Later in the evening, group was joined by Matt, ET, Jieun and Angeline. All 9 of us had dinner at La Strada. Had a lot of fun throughout the entire dinner. I shared my meal with Jieun so that both of us will have more food to sample. Below is the food that we had.

Minestrone Soup - $15.00

Pasta Carbonara with Egg Confit - $34.00

Linguini Marinara - $37.00 (HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!)

After the dinner, had the pleasure to visit Les Amis, up close and personal leaded by Matt and Boy! They really have a very big walk-in wine chiller! A very exquisite place indeed. Before calling a day, we all head over to Balcony @ Heeren for a drink. A tiring day and had overspended but well worth it cos we don't meet up that much nowadays. Am tired now, must get some sleep soon or else am dead tomorrow. Nite nite!

Info Overload

Am struggling at the moment! Too much info is being injected to me at the same time. Info OVERLOAD!!! Too much people to meet as well ... Hopefully will be able to get pass this soon or else need to seek opportunity which will be my very last alternative. It is a very good opportunity for me to prove to myself of my capabilities in dealing with extreme stress!

Wish me luck!

Dear Peter and all colleagues,

It's been a wonderful journey throughout the years, but sadly, my journey ends today at Oscar's. To leave, it really saddens me tremendously, but hopefully you guys will understand that I really need to grab this opportunity. I would like to take this moment to thank you whole heartedly for your patience and guidance and I would really love to thank each and everyone of the team for the unconditional support! Hmmm ... I know what I will do, I will list out each and everyone and thank them personally. (not in chronological order)

- Peter : Once again, thank you so much for all the excitement that we had had be it with her (you know who) or what. You are one hell of a boss. We should hang out one fine day and drink until god knows how drunk we can be!

- Iz : Nothing much to say, cos i will still see her everyday :p

- Roland : Thank you for listening to my grumbles.

- Ben : Congratulations.

- Ronald : Relax more ... you definitely need it!

- Sham : Although I haven't got the chance to know you better yet, within this 2 weeks, I can really see a very bright future in front of you! Keep it up! Your knowledge is your greatest strength, use it wisely and it will lead you very far. I can't give you much of my 1 cent advice cos I had chosen my path as well but you had made an excellent decision for not leaving. All the best to you.

- Pei See : What can I say to this buddy of mine ... spread whatever that you had been taught. Continue and branch our buddy family tree so that one day I can proudly say that I am the "Thai See Goong" ... hahaha

- Su : I still remember the first day when I went for interview, saw you walking out from the 5th floor office door in the yellow and black hostess uniform, was thinking to myself ... OMG ... she is so PRO!!! Girl ... it really leaves a very deep impression to me. That image still flash in my brain till now! Still, we must go Carl's Junior one of this day.

- Darlina : I was touched by what you had said the other night, the thing that you said that I was always screaming at you out of a sudden, but when you know that I will be leaving, you were actually sad to see me go. To tell the truth, I felt the same as well.

- Tini : Oh well ... I really had a lot of fun working with her. My dinner kaki! After seeing her, I actually realize that when someone is over-stressed, tears will starts flowing! Hehehe ... I still remembers that. Again, I need to apologize for not attending your wedding ceremony. Remember to invite me to your baby shower!

- Sharon : You had been a very positive and patience intern. Great grooming skills! Keep it up!

- Elbert : Ah pek, stop grumbling and nagging all the time. Thanks for being a good colleague and a wonderful friend.

- Ivan : We will still meet up frequently with ah pek, ah boy and ah grant cos remember, am the ah goong of the four brothers !!!!

- Christine : You really had a very positive attitude. Well done! I have no doubts on you! Thank you so much for the precious gift, I will treasure it.

- Michelle : OMG ... whenever I see you, I feel 'malibu'. You always said that you are virgin, I wonder how true is that when you actually knows all the positions. I will definitely miss your laughter.

- Sherlyn : You really need to be more confident! We have faith in you!

- Ichelle : Mrs. Chef, when are you going to get married?

- Jieun : Gamsa hamida ... you really had teach me a lot of korean verbs, like 'pae gu pak', 'pae pu lor' and the ultimate ... 'shi ba ra ******'

- Azman : Make up your mind and work towards your goal. You can really perform if you wanted to, I know that. That's why I always scold and scream at you. I want you to prove a lot of them out there that they are wrong for thinking you are not serious and can't be count on. Still, I felt that previously when I slapped you on your face and you kept saying "I hate you ... I hate you" incident is quite funny!!! Sorry ... hahaha ... no offense.

- Kandiban, Isha, Nur : Good luck in the near future.

- Zalina : Thank you for being there, if you ever need advice, let me know.

- Judion : Just a few advice. 1. Take out those contact lens, it really makes you looks like a zombie. 2. Walk properly, no more catwalks please. 3. Control your temper, it is really irritating. Other than that, you are a nice person and a good worker. My advice is for your own good. Do not take it wrong.

- Hidayat : The mat motor, thank you for your assistance. Actually, you never failed to accomodate all my requests. I really appreciate it.

- Yanie : Break off ... patch back ... break off ... patch back ... haizzzzz ... make up your mind girl.

- Ivoen, Ali, Gen, Benz, Joann, Maria, Shiela, Jeffrey : Welcome on board! Oscar's is really a wonderful place to work. Although it might be stressful and tiring at times, it's all worth it as you have a bunch of wonderful colleagues.

- Sathiya : Ah Ji ... you possess a great personality. Loveable and bubbly. This is the type of people that Oscar's needs. Great to have you here. By the way, when can we play PSP again?

- Jesslyn, Chay Ting : TWINS???!!! Who is ah sa and who is ah gil? Don't have the chance to work with the twins yet. What a pity. Stay cute and all the best.

- Geoffrey : You should be thankful cos you had an excellent buddy. He is really good. Squeeze out all his knowledge and absord it like a sponge. It will help you along the way. Caution: Do not let him touch you!

- Zhen Hong, Er Cong, Sabreena : I will assure you that Oscar's is the best place for attachment. You will realize it when you finally went through all the departments. It's all because of the Oscarians.

- Iris, Thi Ha, Su Han, Win Lwin : Do not think that you are just a part-timer. You guys are part of the Oscar's family! Thank you so much for the support and hard work that you guys had chipped in. Let me know if someone bullies you, I will make sure they will regret it. Chezu tinbade.


Wow... what a long thank you note. If I had missed out anyone, my sincere apologies. Hopefully our path will cross again in the near future. Well, you all should know where to find me lah. Once again, thank you so much for being there. All the best to all of you and take care. Be proud to be an Oscarians!!!
