i "made friends" with the cutter today. cut alot of vanguard today for filling purpose...i had nothing to do anyway. little enquires to type and fax and PO to fax after lunch...till 5.40pm.
kie ing gave me alot of POs. have to sort, fax, staple and file them.

my 2nd day @ work. it was kinda boring at first, till 2hrs later after lunch. had to do filings tt whole period of time. gEez. quite a easy task but kinda tedious? haha. for a person like me who dun file her worksheets...file POs?! lol.

started doin enquiries for kie ing at 330pm. typing, printing and faxing...there were so much sia. took me 2hrs+? gRrr...and as i was doing, amy and carren put more enquiries on my tray. goodness. after i finished kie ing's...kie ing put more enquiries. gEez. it was nearly 6pm then.

so...i didn't complete my work. leaving it till tues to do. boo! hate the feeling of not able to complete my work given. gRRRr. tues...calling some supplier too. omg. i'm calling some stranger. *scary*. dUh.

my work for tues i think has been laid out le. most likely doin the enquiries, call the supplier. and i'm expecting POs tt needs to be faxed. and maybe, more filling. sobz. but haha. cool!~ busy busy~

oh yar...i jammed the fax machine cum copier 3-4 times today. argh. very paiseh lah. coz carren and 1 other colleague was waiting to use the machine. i just had QUITE A NUMBER of enquiries to fax. =X

i love faxing. no sarcasam intended ok!

AND...i got xmas pressie from amy! very nice of her. i worked like for only 2 days and i got pressie. although it's chocolates, but it's the thought that counts yar! did i mention how tai tai looking she is?! hehez.

when's there's good, there's bad. haha. i think my cough has gone to a new level. due to my excessive coughing, i've caused my voice to be rather sexy. haha. it's deeper than my deep voice i already possessed. the whole of today, i was suppressing my cough during working lah. cough quite a no. of times, coz cannot take it. haha. when i was at bugis wif kl, dingy & janice, i "let loose". cough umpteen times. haha. quite bad.

am back from my 2nd and final chalet for '05. supposed to pop by the 3/4euphoria chalet. but was too tired to go to pa to pop by. very sorry euphorians~ =X anyway, was back at aloha loyang (again!) for 04S18 chalet. this chalet kinda brought back memories for me...different memories @ different pts of the chalet. kinda weird.

aloha loyang. it's not the 1st time i've been there...it's like the 4th time already. but it's the 1st time i checked in into chalet. hehez. me and xx were the first ones to reach...coz xx had to check in. reached pasir ris @ 3pm. we had to buy bread, eggs, check satay price and rush for the 315pm shuttle. with our pro-ness, we were in time for the shuttle. =D
checked in. garden terrace C. didn't think it was very small till the rest said tt it was very small. i'm fine with the size...maybe because i stayed before with 2eians ba.

anyway, the whole chalet, played a lot of bridge. fun~. we had the intermediate/expert players playing on the upper bunk of the beds and the beginner/intermediate players playing on the lower bunk. am still quite bad on the game actually. gEez. haha. sumhow i think bridge is invading chalets sia. more and more ppl are picking it up. haha. cOol~.

the best part of the chalet....i think was the nite cycling. 3 years since i last nite cycled. and tt was my 1st and only nite cycling experience...which lasted for 2hrs only wif sjab seniors. tt was the reason/motivation factor why i learnt how to cycle. haha. so tt i cld go nite cycling wif my seniors and not stuck in the chalet wif my other seniors. hehez. i still remember how pro i was. i only took 1 hr to learn and didn't fall in the midst of learning. i still rmb jinyong say i was lihai. haha. after he said tt, i fell into a little drain. =X

anyway, the nite cycling adventure. super coOl~. it lasted more than 2 hours~. haha. we "warmed up" in pasir ris park and then we cycled to changi village to see bapoks. hehez. super fun!!~ we followed the bus route of no.2 and it rained in the midst of our cycling adventure. still, we arrived destination changi village. there were quite a few bapoks...quite pretty, but too bad lah...they are bapoks. =X. enjoyed the sea breeze and we went to coffee shop to makan. sum ate while we watched one weird and quite stupid chinese movie. before we head back to aloha, rq briefed us. haha. he made it sound like very tedious to go back, like there are alot of upslopes. i think it was quite alright...there's only 1 and long upslope. got distracted a few times by the stars and the moon. the nite sky was simply beautiful. =D guess wat! a few of them saw shooting stars!! gRrrR...am not so lucky compared to sec2 le. =X
was cycling in front...so didn't know wat happened at the back till the rest got back. apparently, yinmei fell and had a few abrasion wounds. lucky it wasn't very serious. but it showed wat a lousy medic me was...nxt time i will rmb to bring antiseptic cream and plasters just in case. =X
chechang is a reckless cyclist. he claimed tt he balance better cycling fast...keep ringing his bell..noisy and reckless! lol.

me din sleep for the 1st nite..for fear of missing TARFE season finale. so stayed up all nite playing bridge...got a bit crazy due to the lack of zzz. haha. in the morn, we returned our bikes and walked back to our chalet to catch the season finale of TARFE. went to bathe after watching, then watched batman on kids central before heading for a half an hour nap. was awake juz b4 boonhwee ran into the room and shouted "zhao huo le!!" it appears tt the peeps outside were playing "truth or dare". -.-'''

helped to poke the chicken wings with satay sticks...hehez. i like poking the chicken wings..coz they make my hands smell nice wif the marinate. haha! =D had bbq and we celebrated the december babies' birthdays with a log cake. hehez. my 1st log cake. =D exchanged pressies...quite funny. i got dingy's pressie...which i helped to choose! haha...i should have gotten a more expensive gift! lol. den waii and nick was running ard the chalet spraying water with waii's rubber duckies which nick bought. kids these days. tsk tsk. lol.

most of the guys left after the bbq. only kel stayed behind. quite nice of him to stay lah. at least there was a bit yang qi in the chalet. haha...we played heart attack, den murderer den bluff. had a 2nd bbq at 2++am. wanted to eat corn. but gEez. it was nearing 3am when the corns were cooked. sObz.supposedly wenjie, connie and kel wanted to go to pasir ris park to enjoy the food. haha. i was fine wif it coz i want to try my luck wif the shooting stars. but in the end, nv. =X nvm. we went to zzz at 3+++am. we, 3 girls, slept on beds while kel slept on the floor. it's better than askin him to sleep in the living rm yar! hehez.

woke up at 9am when we said to wake up at 8am. oh well. had breakfast, packed, played murderer and took the 1155 shuttle. played murderer on the mrt train. i love being the gamemaster. hahaha. =DD

had quite a few memory flashbacks while in the chalet.
memories wif 2elit3 in aloha loyang, memories wif sjab for nite cycling, memories wif S15 playing murderer...fond memories.....=D

hehez. i'm back from odac chalet!!! haha.
am dead tired when i reached home. plopped to bed and slept. thought i will sleep for 20hrs, in the end, a measly 4hrs++. gRrrrRr.

anyway, had to go chalet on tues instead on mon because of mum's orders. oh well.
anyway, went orchard wif eng and xiao zhu before heading to chalet @ aloha loyang coz eng and xiao zhu had to go to the recruit express@taka and we were goin to get doris's bday pressie.

when we reached aloha loyang, it was nearly 7pm.

had pizza for dinner, played uno stacko and watched tv. haha. then we had singing session in one of the 4 bedrooms. me left the room and joined alex and xiao zhu who are looking at stars. the stars were super pretty. =) alex did stupid things while the 2 of us looked. he(maybe we) wanted to scare those in the room. 1st thing he did...using his hp light, putting it below his chin...he slowly "emerged". failed miserably. coz no one was lookin out of the window! then he climbed up to the window, wanting to show his "beautiful" legs to them. haha. tt sort of succeeded. but it was more of hilarious than scary. lol. last thing he did, he tried to pick lock using...plastic bag, coz he cldn't find wire. failed too. in the end, we joined back the peeps in the room.
played monopoly with aiksiang, weirong, shenhui and boonhwee while we waited for match btwn liverpool and chelsea to start. lost to boonhwee. he and his hotels...bahh. i got no land...only railroads and utlilties..how to win?! oh well. game only. but i thrashed him the nxt day! woO~ then some of the guys played uno stacko. really stacko. they stacked the uno blocks up to see who can stacked the highest. haha. seems like little kids playin lego. lol. after that they tried using the blocks to be dominoes. failed. didn't create much effect.

330am...we watched the soccer match...but it was kinda boring..so most of us went to sleep after first half.
some of them went out to get steamboat stuff while i was still in my dreams. woke up, watch tv and played monopoly. had beehoon for lunch. (odac chalet is the most nutritious chalet i've ever been coz we had proper meals). we then headed out to go to cycle. but the shop didn't have enuff bikes for us. so we decided to play ball, hence we went to downtown east in search of balls. in the end, didn't buy any. had bubble tea at the tea shop and chit chat.

went back to chalet to prepare for steamboat. i didn't help much. haha. i was more of a paparazzi photographer than a chef. mr ang came first among the teachers. then he played monopoly with the guys. me played blackjack with doris, eng, xiao zhu and sharon while we all waited for shwuhuey to arrive with the bowls and chopsticks, didn't wait for miss ho and miss wun coz they were lost?! haha. anyway, they came not long after the steamboat started.
there were 3 groups of ppl. the super high ones, the high ones and the quiet-and-eat ones. i belong to the 3rd group. haha. dun look like right?! in the end, no such clear divison. every1 juz went to which ever pot tt has ready-to-eat food. haha. took candid shots of miss ho and miss wun. mr ang didn't fall prey to my cam, coz he was at quite dimly lit place, so he managed to "escape". gRrRrr.

celebrated doris's bday with an ice cream cake. haha. nice~ after tt went to room to play blackjack with eng, sharon and xiao zhu while most of them watched tv. then i went to see kinfai, alex and xiangjing dance. it was funny~. kf and alex...lol. they were hilarious. xj was stuntman. haha. then we played murderer. i cannot wink lah!! gRrrRr. only "killed" xiao zhu while xj "killed" the rest. haha. then i went to practise guitar usin danny's guitar. my hammering skills. haiz. still quite sucky. a few came into the room while i was practising. haha. felt paiseh. i dun like playin guitar in front of ppl. haha. danny came into the room. then talked to him for a while...hopes he buy the mayday guitar book soon~. hehez. i admire his guitar skills sia. very lihai! oh well, i lack the courage and most importantly, the skills to play in front of people. =X
"zouk out" at 12am in the living room. haha. didn't go lah. i escaped and went for the community singing. haha. most of the songs i chose, danny didn't know how to play. haha. but he knows mayday's yong bao! omg. omg. omg. haha. lihai lehh....

bathe and chit chat in the room with most of the girls and ziyuan. haha. talked for quite some time. we were waiting for the match between man utd and benfica. in the end, we didn't watch. coz a very qiang lightning short circuited the tv. haha. went out the room, supposedly to take a peek at those in the living room play bridge. in the end, i looked and ended up playing...and i didn't sleep at all! the 2nd night and 3rd day in chalet for me, aiksiang, waii and me didn't catch a wink. coOl~

3rd day's breakfast's scrambled eggs was cooked by leliang and aiksiang. they were edible and most of the peeps liked leliang's scrambled eggs. his probability of winning was 2/3 yar. haha. leliang's expression when he cooked was his usual look. hehez. no look of a chef. hahha. packed up and was mentor to doris's bridge. most of the odacians know how to play bridge le sia. haha. coOl~
bridge is super addictive. eng, xiao zhu, doris and me played bridge again at the food court while waiting for the others to finish their food. then mavis, waii, doris and me tried playing bridge on the mrt train. lol. bridge addicts. haha.

thanks to the OCBC for the tropical life bag!! it's big and cOoL~ woO~ i like it!~ and
thanks to the OUB for the chocolates!! cheap but as i've said it's the thought tt counts~
see some of the pictures here!~
