Quick catch up

Another quick catch up on the events in my life so far....

Last week, I attended zx's friend's birthday bbq party at Labrador park. Cos i only knew zx's friend and zx's friends who knew here... i was kind of out of place... not knowing anyone else... so i was pretty quiet. Because it was held at Labrador park, me and zx had to lobang his friend's car to go in. Frankly, if i had to walk out from the park at night... it would have been quite scary... hahahah......

Anyway, though the park may have been quite remote to those who don't drive... there are still quite a few people having bbq in the park, strolling by the seaside with their family... quite a nice relaxing atmosphere.....

And guess what, yesterday i just heard from zx that this friend is going to get married next year... wow... really fast... cos the couple had only got together for abt half a year despite knowing each other for a longer time.... hehehhe....

Friday night was the night where i finally attended jc friends' gathering... i had previously missed the one before due to work committment i think.... seriously i have a bad memory.... and this time round, other than gathering to get-together, we also celebrated Nana's birthday... heheheh.. though it was belated.... Again, it's an update of each other's status and happenings around and to them.... Glad to hear that Nana is seeing someone... and that yun and val have got their tix to watch Jay Chou in concert in Singapore.. and that the ticket sales had been really good... ~80% sold at the priority sale... hahhaha....

This week, zx also confirmed his new job which he will start on 5 Nov.. 2nd week from now.... and since his job is confirmed... we can finally start to plan for the japanese lessons that i've been talking about since i graduated........ since he only has a 5-day work week.... now that everything is in place.... i'm starting to have lots of thinking... about my job/career and where i should start thinking of where to go.....

Xuan has mentioned that she had read somewhere that the next 2 years will be a tight period for employers.. i.e. the job demand is higher than the labour supply.. and so the conclusion would be... for the next 2 years..it's going to be a job-hopping year i think... turnover would be high or higher than usual for the companies.... And so, at this point, i'm feeling sian of what i'm doing and precisely i feel sian and there's a huge premonition of the amount of shit coming... i'm thinking whether i should try to get another job... but when and what... i'm still confused..... hehz....

update again....

Just a quick update on my recent day to day operations...


Let's start with the most recent news.


Today had been a shopping for gift day where me and zx had to search for a birthday gift for his university friend. His friend had invited us to a birthday bbq to be held on next saturday and at Labrador park. Since we couldn't attend the bbq without bringing anything, we had to get her a gift. As zx isn't exactly very close friend with her, we had some trouble thinking of what to get for her... so in the end, we decided to get her a pair of earrings... We had tried many places to get a pair of nice earrings that is not too cheap or too expensive to present as a gift... At the end of the day, after wondering from Orchard to Bugis, we finally got the gift...hahhah... As it's Hari Raya, there was sale at the department store. At the same time when we got the gift for the friend, i also managed to get myself a new ring..hahaha....




During the training on thurs and friday, i heard from xb that he got a girlfriend whom he was going out for about 2 months le... what a shock! hahahah... afterall, for what i know, he hadn't made many moves to court the girl whom he appreciated during university days...hahha.... but nevertheless, it's good news.... just had a brief description that his girlfriend was a colleague from another unit... but since we did not have much time during training to talk... all the usual interview questions whenever a new couple was formed had to be withheld to the next gathering we will plan to have... hahaha.... wonder how long we'll take to arrange the gathering...hehehe...

Work wise... it's been the same.. and on another note, two of my colleagues had officially left the firm. And next week, there'll be another departure... hehz.....

Well, will update again soon... Back to work... hehz

Relaxing Saturday

This whole week had been a hot week... the weather was scorching hot and today it was no exception.... me and zx had decided to go cycling at east coast and also possibly get a birthday present for zx's sister at the nearby Parkway Parade.



We first started off having lunch at the Burger King at East coast before we decided to rent our bicycles... the bicycles at the bicycle shop that we rented from appeared to have been upgraded with new bikes... though it was the weekend, but we have noted that usually saturday afternoons, there is generally less crowd and more space to cycle freely and not having too many people or cyclists around... a good timing for cycling amateurs to try out their bikes.... hehhehe....



After the hot and sweaty cycling trip under the sun for 2 hours, we proceeded to Parkway Parade to look for a potential present.... one of the few presents in consideration was to get zx's sister a wallet or a bag.... in the end, we settled on a bag from united colors of benetton... a bag which i thot was quite ok in design be it for work or shopping... the bag is black in colour and the aunty had nicely helped to wrapped the present up.... the bag was bought at 20% discount since the department store was having a sale in celebration for the coming hari raya puasa....



While shopping for the present, i also kept a look-out for the shoes that i wanted to get... 1 pair of covered shoes for work and another pair for friday or casual events.... in the end, i managed to get the last pair for the design i wanted.... i've been telling zx and he had witnessed my suayness in my shopping trips for shoes..... i had either been not able to get the size of the shoe design that i wanted or the pair was the last pair on display pair which i rarely would want... but this time round, the last pair seemed to be in rather good condition and since it's been quite a while since i found a not so bad design shoe... i bought them....

New hair colour

Today, I'm on leave (just a short 2-day leave). In the morning after waking up and doing some simple chores, I finally went to the salon near my house to get my hair trimmed and also highlighted.... hahahah... the hair colour i chose was copper gold... think it turned out alright.... hahahha... probably see what kind of reactions/comments my colleagues will have for me.... Tonight, I also met zx who commented that my new hair colour was not bad... hehhehe...

Another thing noted today was that my dvds that i've ordered online was shipped today... and so i'll expect their arrivals in weeks to come... yeah...... can't wait to get it soon.... And on another note, the pre-order for Kinki Kid's new alblum which contains dvd of their 10th year anniversary concert is out of stock... which i almost intended to order cos of the footage of the 10th year anniversary concert... hehz... so there's no chance... unless there's new stock for it... but again... don't think it'll be cheap... hahahha...

Oh yar.. and i was just wondering when my youngest brother will come back from his military training in taiwan... hope he manages to get some gashapons for me.. .hahahahh...
