A BuSy WeeK


At Komoco - Harley Dealership

Tink the entry for my blog today may be quite long, coz it has been quite some time since my last post. Had been really busy, tired and lazy to even turn on my laptop, let alone blogging!!Hee...tats how lazy and tired I am. Basically, been busy working for my papa for the past 1 week. As usual, do those stupid IR8A forms, with those Ah-nehs freaking long names...tink the degree of my eyesight has definately increased!

Anyway, worked oni 1/2 day last Wednesday, coz oredi had date with my sis and her fren, plus Miss Clara and her fren for some gals outing. Went out shopping with sis and Clara first at Far East Plaza. All of us managed to buy some nice looking skirts and tops. Then lata at night had Ramen at Liang Court where my sis’s fren and Clara’s fren came and join us. After tat, we went over Singapore River to do our 'personal'™ stuffs. I cannot say wat we did, coz it's supposed to be a secret among the 5 of us, else I'm sure all of them will kill me if I were to blog here, especially Miss Clara!!Hee...So...It'€™s Girls Secret!!Anyway, tat was oso how we spent our "Yuan Xiao Jie" Lomantic wor! ahaha

Thursday was spent working again, coz still got so many things not done yet. Wanted to go my boy's cafe tat night, but I was really too tired and lazy to drive there. Felt a bit guilty coz it has been almost a week since I last went there to help out, while his other partner'€™s girlfriends/boyfriends all went down to help. And it seems tat all of them were asking my boy why I did not go down. And I know tat boy oso wished tat I could just go down, even if not helping out, but at least there to support a bit mah. But well, when I'€™m tired, I will get very lazy, and most importantly, I need a lot of rest/sleep, otherwise I'€™ll get very cranky and start killing everyone! Ahaha...Nah! Juz kidding! But I'€™ll be really bad-tempered! And also, working for my papa needs a lot of concentration. Coz these form needs to be submitted to the relevant authorities, so if the information is inaccurate, there may be penalty. Stress eh!!...So really need to get enough sleep. Oh!!! And most most importantly, I can’t drive properly if I’m tired. Somehow my concentration level will be like 1% oni and I dun wish to cause any accident to myself or others. Tats why I had been a good gal the whole of last week, staying home at night after work. Mmm...toking about accident, tat reminds me of my poly kaki, or rather "Zhu Peng Gou You",Mr. Pow who met with an accident. (Hope tat he'€™s not gona kill me if he'€™s reading tis!)Anyway, lucky he was fine, but well, his beloved darling wife, Miss Vios was not so lucky. Heard from him tat it was quite badly damaged. Apparently, it was a chain collision. Tink the first car in front suddenly brake, then his fren in front of him cannot stop on time and bang onto the first car, and he, the tired car oso cannot stop on time, so end up banging his fren lor. Haiz,poor guy! I guess he may hab kept a safe distance but well, sometimes things just happen lah, otherwise it wouldn'€™t be called Accidents liao! Heard from him tat the front part of his car was all smashed in, lights all damaged etc. He told me tat he was really at a lost and stunned when he came out and saw the damage. As of tat moment I called him, he was oredi in the workshop, where the mechanic was there accessing the damage. Hee...as to why I know how he kana accident, it'€™s becoz of my Curse!! But it wasn'€™t my fault/curse wat!! I juz say hope his tyres flat flat oni mah...neber say hope he accident, coz tat wan too evil liao. Tat's why tink after the accident, he smsed me and ask me not to curse him in future coz it came true!! So called him lah,will feel guilty wan mah. Lucky he wasn'€™t injured. But tink he will hab to take public transport to his work-place in Tuas for the time being while his wife undergoes surgery lor. Then he was asking mi not to curse ppl coz it will come true! Ahaha...come to tink of it, quite accurate leh. One of my frens was laughing at me when I was sick. So I juz put a casual remark tat he will kana fever and flu the next day, and viola!...It came true! Ahaha...but well, it may be a retribution for him, laughing at me when I was sick! Mmm...tat reminds me of the Prudential curse. Wonder if it will come true...? We shall see! Heh heh *evils grin*...But I remember Papa once told me before that most ppl will kana accident usually after the P-plate is being removed. My brother and sis, and now my fren all kana accident after P-plate removed. It's somehow like a curse. Papa's logic is tat, No Probation = No need so guai liao mah. Coz Probation cannot afford to involve in accidents. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Hab been driving for 2 yrs+ and my fren got his license juz few months after me and now kana accident! Damn! It's making me paranoid! Muz drive carefully manz!

Friday was great! 1/2 day work again! Coz need to be my sis driver and fetch her to NUH for her eye check up. Since her appointment was at 3pm and she'€™s off work at 12pm, we met for lunch and jalan-jalan in Ikea. Ate at the cafe in Ikea, which is oso my very first time eating there. Ok, I know I'™m a bit mountain tortoise lah. The food there is great! Had the Meat balls, Poach salmon and Chicken wings! *Drools* After tat, went Ikea and bought a pink colour stool. Sooo Cute!! Actually hor, it'™s for kids lah, but I reckoned tat it should be able to take my weight, so bought it lor. So sad! When I go home and asked papa to help me fix, he was saying: "Hey, you sure the stool won't gib way ah?...you so heavy!"...Kaoz! his words really broke my fragile heart wor! *sob sob*

Yesterday was quite well spent. Woke up early in the morning to join in the Harley event, duno wat National Safe Riding/Driving event or something. Tink we juz need to escort those MPs, who were sitting in those vintage cars to Takashimaya, the Civic Plaza lah.Tink tats where the main event was being held. So we met up at Harley Dealership at 8am first, before moving out to Selegie, the new Cafe 100 for breakfast and then ride down to Orchard in a big Convoy from there. Unfortunately, of all days, it decided to start raining pigs and gorillas only yesterday morning! Damn! It seems like most Harley events are like a curse...it will ALWAYS rain whenever there are any rides/events! I wonder why!!??Haiz...so somehow delayed in moving out, coz gota wait for the weather to clear. Tat was when I became so bored and started taking pics, again! Yaya...as shown in my blog. Hee hee...Nice hor??ahahha...Anyway, we were lucky tat the rain managed to stop on time. Besides Harley-Davidson, the whole convoy was also made up of Honda GoldWings. The ride was pretty short lah, but really got a lot of attention from other road users. Did not join the other riders for lunch after the convoy, coz boy needs to work, so he fetched me home lor. Though I was tired after reaching home,I had serious shopping craving manz!...So jio my sis go out shopping!! Went Bugis first, coz sis has not been to Bugis ever since she came back from Japan! Hee hee...bought 2 nice tops from there. SOooo Happy!! Sis bought more than me! She bought sandals, some tops and bottoms etc. Then we went down Cheenatown buy some souvenirs for her frens in Japan. Had dinner at around 5pm. Ate BBQ stingray and la-la at Smith Street. *Oishii* Went on to OG for shopping again! Haiz,suddenly feel like Auntie, going there to shop! Anyway, our shopping trip ended around 8+, and we headed home, tired but happy! Ahhaha...my day has not ended though, coz after I went home and offload my stuffs, mi went out to boy'€™s cafe! After all, dun need to work today mah, so can stay out late. Picked boy up for dinner at Pasir Panjang Food Centre. Guess wat? I had BBQ stingrays and la-la again!!...of coz also got order my favorite sambal sotong! *Slurrps* Haiz,really cannot control myself when it comes to good food! Went back cafe chit-chat and play Aeroplane Chess!! It'€™s so fun, even though I lost to my boy! First time in my entire life tat I played this! Mi 'sua-pa'€™ mah, so of coz a bit fascinated by it! Hmm...business was quite good last night. Got the regular customers as well as walk-in customers. But I was there toking non-stop to Ryans'€™s gf. Oh dear! Forget her name liao!! Anyway, mi oso called Miss Clara and we gossiped for nearly 1 hr until my boy had to stop us! Ahaha! Closed shop at nearly 3am. Tired tired!...Tink my boy was more tired coz he still got road show today and he has not been getting enough of sleep lately as well. Poor thingz!

Woke up around 10.30am even though I slept at 4am. Tink old liao, cannot sleep too many hours. Prepare go out for lunch at Cafe Cartel in Bishan with parents and sis. It'€™s the usual feast again!! Me had my favourite Hawaiian Pork Chop as usual, sis had St. Louis Pork Ribs, Papa had Chicken with duno wat, and Mummy had Meat Lovers i.e. all the different combination of meat. Hee...tink we can neber ever be vegetarians!!... Even though I had lunch at 12+, after 8 hrs liao, the meat still inside my stomach, haven digest yet. Tink can skip dinner liao...but... but...I'€™ve got cravings for instant Ramen leh. How??...Mmm,shall decide lata. Haiz,actually supposed to meet up with Miss Clara, Elaine and her new found bf at my boy'€™s cafe wan, but then, boy'€™s cafe there got Ge-tai€™, tink they giving offerings to the god or something, so a bit noisy. Changed to another day lor. Then boy today got his colleague's wedding dinner to attend, so here I am, blogging away before another busy week for me starts again. Oh yes! Forget to mention. Kelly Services sent me in for a 2 day job with Loreal promoting their new Mascara. No sales is involved, prolly just tell customers about the new product and maybe help them apply. Pay is $9.50/hr! Good pay eh! Tomorrow is the selection round. So keep my fingers crossed lor. If heng heng selected, there will be a 2 hrs training on Wednesday. I can either work on 3rd and 4th Or 4th and 5th of March. Work location not confirm yet, coz it depends on the days you choose to work on. Anyway, dun even noe will get selected or not oso, so see how lah. Lucky dress code can be informal, coz I'€™m quite particular. Anyway, I'm also waiting for a pending interview for a Marketing job. Tink the agency has sent my resume to the company, but duno will get short listed for interview or not. Haiz...so much uncertainty now. Gota go bathe and sleep liao...brains are not functioning properly despite my attempts of knocking some sense into it. Shall update again when free. It'€™s such a long entry, hope no one starts falling asleep while reading it! Hee... :)

Ok, tink I dun need to explain myself further, and ppl out there will noe tat I was cheated, AGAIN, by the F**CKing Prudential! To Hell with them manz! Anyway, I was smart tis time round. Went to see the directory first, before taking the lift to the demonic place. Lucky my papa fetched me ah, else I will really Curse and Swear at them! Initially I taut I was called up by Reader's Digest, coz I did send in my application there. But my happiness was short-lived coz it is not #12-09. Scan thru the directory again.

MonDay BluEeesss!! : (

Feeling so tired and sleepy now. Finally went to work after nuahing at home for nearly 3mths. Nope. I haven found a job yet. Just went to help my papa tats all. Tink his place there short handed lah, so juz try to make myself useful for the time being lor. Tink I have been slacking way too much tat it has made me become a very lazy person! Imagine having to drag yourself out of bed at 6.45am, then get ready for work and leave home by 7.50am to the office. Damn Sianz! Coz my biological clock has been set in such a manner that I will sleep at around 3 or 4am, and wake up only at 11+am. Boy knows that I have got work today, so he made me go home earlier to get some rest while he stayed on the in café. Reached home around 1am, but still feels energetic. Force myself to sleep but a bit difficult leh. Tossed and turned until 3am again, then finally went to peko-land. Zzzz...Nearly overslept coz I set my alarm to 6.45am, but I was too lazy to wake up. Seems that my bed has got a magnet or something. Ok, I know these are all excuses not to crawl out from my comfy bed. Lucky I was able to get myself prepare for work on time.

Work today is okay. Just that the Chinese Program NJ star is driving me nuts. Tink the program was not installed on my computer properly so had a hard time finding the Chinese words. End up using Cindy’s computer instead. But I was really sianz in the morning, coz I had to translate the damn Profit/Loss, Balance Sheet and Expenses from English to Chinese!! Kaoz! It was terrible ok! Firstly, I am suxx in accounting. More importantly, I oredi gib back all to my lecturers in SIM liao, so the whole damn thing looks like alien to me! Secondly, as I mentioned earlier, the stupid Chinese program lah! Nearly made me admit back to IMH again! Haiz...Oh! But my mood was better during lunch coz we pig out again!! Yeah! Tink we had an 7 or 8 course meal. Went with my papa, brother and 2 other staffs. Mmm...let me see…we had Yu-Sheng (as usual), Fake sharks fin soup, Roast spring chicken, Steam prawns, Vege with Sea Cucumber and Mushrooms, Fried noodles and Qing-teng. Ok, tats a 7 course lunch. Papa was so funny. He say he shall pig out now and will start to go on diet after the 15th! Kaoz! Din noe he is so hiao like me wor! Heehee...No lah, he is actually a very health conscious person lor. But the problem with my whole family is tat we put on weight easily the moment we start eating more than the amt we normally eat. Hmm...tink for the rest of the month, we shall all eat plain white porridge with Cai-xin! Ahahaha

Anyway, me went back to office brain dead! Eat too much lah. My eyelids keep drooping down. Had a hard time keep it up. Nearly wanted to use toothpicks liao. The worst thing of all, I had to do the stupid IR8A form, where I had to input all the bloody particulars of the workers in the Company. It's the name of the Ah-Neh workers that is driving nuts! Their whole damn name is so freaking long tat I really had a hard time typing it! Their names consist of at least 30 alphabets! Worst of all, the list given to me with the Ah-neh’s name on it is so small, tink it's font 10 or something, until my eyes nearly go pak-jiao liao! Really dun understand why Ah-nehs have such long names! I mean, for e.g. Vincent s/o Muthu Curry can be changed to Vin s/o Mury! Sounds shorter and better right??...Haiz...Really cannot understand why!!! Sianz…still got more to do tml manz! And tat reminds me of my Interview tml. It was fixed way way before CNY. The company so Kiasu leh. They informed me like 3-weeks prior the interview. Anyway, location is at SingPost there. As to wat company or wat it deals with, I have got No Idea!! Sent in too many resumes until blurr liao, and I can't seem to retrieve it from my Sent Items in my Outlook. Well, just hope that it is not some Insurance line/Financial Planner/MLM again! Shall keep my fingers crossed again lor. Sianz! Need to wake up early again tml. So sadz! Hope tml will pass quickly and Wed to come fast fast, coz I'm meeting Clara to go Shopping!! *Hurray*...Ok,need to get some 'beauty' sleep liao! Ahaha...*Yawnz*

YeSteRdAy EvEnInG...

Had a great evening out yesterday. Had dinner with my parents, Bro & Alice and Sis. As usual, we ate like Pigs again!!...Had Yu-Sheng, Bamboo Clams with garlic Sauce, Dua-tau with Sambal, Fried prawns with cereal (Mai Pian Xia) and a whole roasted Suckling Pig!!...*Yummy*. Tink the suckling pig occupied most of my stomach. And guess wat? I actually ate everything down i.e. the skin and the fats!! It is so delicious and simply irresistible, which I noe is indeed VeRy VeRy Sinful!... Anyway, since it'™s a whole pig, it comes together with the head mah. So papa was there, "€œdismantling" the whole piggy's head into smaller pieces for us to eat. I pity the Pig. But Pig ah Pig, you're meant to be eaten, so yr fate is sealed! Ahahha!.And I did something like Fear Factor. I asked my papa to dig the eyes and I ate it down! It'€™s Sooo Delicious! *Slurps*...The pig'€™s eye is not like the fish eye where its white eye-ball is very hard to bite. Basically, the pig'€™s eye is so damn crunchy and juicy, it'€™s really chewy and delicious! *Oishii...!!!*


Oh! And Mummy was Soooo Funny! She was telling us not to eat the mouth area, especially where the pig€'s teeth are located, coz Pigs Do Not brush teeth, thus has a lot of tartar on it!ahaha...Strange manz! Wonder if Mummy has the power to communicate with pigs, tats why she noes tat they dun brush teeth!...ahaha... Aiyo! Jialat! Tat reminds me of "€˜bak-sai"€™ in the pig'€™s eye how ah?...Then I would be eating all the 'shit'€ in the pig'€™s eye! Tink muz get mummy to ask the pigs if they got clean their eyes with Optrex/Eye-Mo or not! Ahhaha...

Then sis and I were quite evil oso. Wat happens is tat we had actually wanted to order Lobster, but no stock. Then order crabs, oso no stock, unless we settle for something which is like more than 1kg! Ridiculous right! Seafood restaurant no seafood!!...So sis and I made a joke out of it. We were saying tat most prob, the smaller Lobsters and Crabs all drowned in the Tusnami liao, so no stocks left. Only got the bigger ones left, that managed to escape! Ahahaha. Yes! Tats how evil we are! Heh heh

We managed to fill our tiny intestines will all the food somehow, but were too heavy to stand up after tat. All of us became sleepy and tired after the meal! Ahaha...Felt so guilty again, coz there goes all my effort in jumping so hard during Aerobics class on Friday, and I practically put everything back the Very next day! Haiz...Anyway, after dinner, they decided to go down my Boy'€™s cafe and sit sit lor. But sis din wan to go so I fetched her hm first. When I arrived, Mummy and Boy told me tat Clara would be coming. I was surprised coz earlier on in the evening, she said not coming liao, coz I told her tat I would be gg down late and scared tat it would be too late and inconvenient for her to get hm, so she said mayb she come down another day then. Tink she decided to come after all! Awwwee!! So sweet of her! Was really touched to see her lah, coz she really made an effort to take a cab and travel all the way down to the cafe. And I was like "€œWhooo....Chio Bu!"(Nose starts bleeding) the moment I see her. She looks really great and sexy in tat green top! Yeaps! As shown in the foto. *Wipes away the blood in my nose and welcomes her with open arms* ahahha...She was like the centre of attraction! Tink all the other guys in the cafe like bio her oso wor! Ahaha. Anyway, she sat down together with my family and we were all chatting away. Anyway, my family members oso noe her inside out liao!...Parents went back ard 11pm, coz papa'€™s brain usually shut down ard 10.30pm! hee...so tat leaves Clara and I, the whole world to our ourselves and bitch!...hehe...Boy will shake his head whenever he walks past our table, hearing us gossip abt other ppl! Gals wat!! It'€™s a NORMAL activity for us ok!!...Even guys oso got gossip wan!...Then we oso took some nice fotos in boy'™s cafe and she showed me wat she bght during shopping. Oh! And most importantly, she rides on Boy'€™s Harley!...She has been pestering me to let her ride on my boy'™s Harley, ever since Day 1 boy got his bike. She has ridden a BMW before, which was our fren, Kenny’s bike, but not a Harley. However, she noes tat I'm a neow person, coz the pillion seat is solely for MY ASS oni and no other gals are allowed on it except ME!!...heh heh...tats how selfish I am!! Ahhaa...But then see her keep "pestering"€ me and she'€™s my buddy leh, how can I bear to reject her!!...Luckily, Boy has got extra helmet, coz of Chingay mah. He wore his full face to work but brought the half-cap for the performance. So Clara put on the 1/2 cap one. We took quite a number of pics with her wearing tat cute helmet and on the bike etc. But I'm not gona post it up, coz I know she'™ll kill me if I do so! Hee...Anyway, she's quite smart in mounting and dismounting on/off the bike. Since boy'™s bike gota back rest, so I juz ask her to sit back and relax while boy will take care of the rest! Tink Boy brought her for a short ride to KFC and McDonalds where the whole world will turn their heads and look! So glamorous!...tink she really enjoyed herself despite it being a short ride! Tats why the moment she got off the bike, she complained tat the ride was too short and said tat in future if she comes down to cafe, she wans to go for rides again!...I told her No Prob, but a fee shall be imposed! Heehee...Coz in Aussie, you'€™ll oso hab to pay if u ride on a Harley. Tink it's A$35 for only 15mins!...Hmm...tink I shld charge S$50 for 15mins!! Ahhaha...Good Money leh!

Miss Clara stayed on till quite late, coz her sis went to watch movie. So they gona take cab back together. Initially she wana take cab from Boy'€™s cafe and go down PS pick her sis, but then it'€™s oredi so late liao, not really safe for her to stand by the road and flag cab lah, so Boy oso agree tat shld drop her in PS to meet her sis. At least there got more ppl mah. Boy was oso worried tat we 2 gals travel by ourselves so he rode together with us and make sure we reached PS safely before he went back home by CTE, while I travel back by Serangoon Road. Though it was like 2am, the traffic was a little heavy. Mostly is all the taxis lah, and they drive really fast!! Maybe it’s weekend, so ppl all stay up and out till quite late. Anyway, tat was how my Saturday evening was spent. Tired but fun! :)

He said tat it's On the House, but then we ate and drink so many things leh...not so nice lah, so sis gave me 10 bucks and I left it in the fish bowl, where ppl leave their name cards, while my bf was not looking, coz I know he sure won't take wan. Went back quite early, since sis gota work today mah. Oh!!

Hmm....actually is for me to play lah! ahhaa....like I say, no one can be as bo liao as I am, but I'm proud of it leh!! ahhaha...

I'm such a hardworking and meticulous person, why nobody wans to employ me??? *ahem*....Well, hope to get tat BP job which I applied for. Shall keep my fingers crossed.

Oh ya!! I'm so proud of myself! Guess my IT knowledge has improved quite a bit. Come to tink of it, I'm online nearly 24/7/365....sure got some improvement lah, coz I've got the whole bloody time in the world to explore!....tat explains the tag board and counter thingy on my blog.

Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out how to add in music and change into other background etc. This is oso an assignment given to me by my sis!! ahhaa....To my frens out there, feel free to chat with mi on my tag board! :)

Got a bit pissed with one of my frens juz now. Somehow I accidentally downloaded tis stupid Smiley thingy which ends up as an irritating script whenever I msn someone. So I got help from him to help me get rid of it. Taut he would be patient and kind enough to teach me, who's an IT idiot! Oh Boy!! how wrong I was!!...he started to be a bit impatient and quite worked up. And he was like a bee buzzing at me. I mean, I'm oredi quite upset tat the stupid smiley thingy is gibing me a headache and there he was, so INSENSITIVE!!!...I was quite pissed, so I juz told him tat I'll settle the prob my own!!....And I did finally managed to settle the prob on my own, after getting advice from another kind soul. Anyway, I learnt my lesson....i.e. dun anyhow download things and dun ask ppl who's not willing to help u!!!

Aiyo! so late liao...need to change and go for my aerobics class liao. Shall update again. :)

Free Labour again....*but I'm Loving it*....hee


Boy's Harley-Davidson

Went down to offer Free labour at my boy's cafe after dinner yesterday. Was a bit lazy to go down at first, but seems tat he got a no. of frens gg down, tink it's beta to go down and offer some help lor. But din wan to go down so early since my boy went for his rehearsal for the Chingay Performace tis Sat in Orchard. Yeaps! he'll be rumbling down Orchard in his Harley with other riders. *Noise Pollution*...ahaha...lucky he dun read my blog, else he gona slaughter me for saying tis!!...To him, the sound of his noisy pipes is like music to his ears!!....Mmm...wonder if all Harley riders tinks tis way or not...Anyway, I went down ard 9+pm. Upon reaching, mi saw a grp of bikers riding ST1100, gathered outside Kallang KFC. Guess it muz be 1 of the usual bikes gatherings again. It's a pretty common sight to see bikers and car lovers in Kallang from Wed night onwards. Heh heh!! "Evil" thoughts came into my mind!!...Shall get Jolene (1 of the partners) to distribute namecards and get them go to our cafe instead!!...When I arrived, boy was still not there yet. Then Char, my boy's fren came. Not much ppl in cafe, coz they had oredi left. Told Ryan and Jolene abt the ST bikers in KFC. Jolene took her namecards and went to do some "Marketing", but U-turned back when she saw her frens cuming in. Boy came at this point of time. Told him abt the ST bikers. He started laughing and said tat all of them looked at him when he came in. Muz be coz of his noisy pipes tat gain attention lah!!...Chit-chat with my boy, his frens, Ryan etc. Then Jolene came over and pulled me to go do "marketing" with her!! Ya!! go to those ST bikers!!.....We went over to KFC, was a bit pai sei lah....coz it seems as if we are like soliciting customers leh!!....Ok, the right word to use here shld be "Creating Awareness" for the cafe!...

The bikers start to gib us a strange look as Jolene and I walked nearer towards them. They were quite cheeky, but funny! It's normal lah, after all, they are all guys and we are the only 2 demure gals there!! *ahem* ahahhaha....So we juz tell them tat we're a newly open cafe...blah blah blah....they were pretty positive in their respond and said tat they will drop by lata, coz they're still waiting for frens, but I duno izzit becoz we're gals and they juz entertained us. Oh Boy!! How wrong I was! They really came down to the cafe abt 20mins lata!....Awwwee!!!....so touched! When we saw/heard them cuming, me gave a "Hi-5" to Jolene. Well, our PR efforts paid off! hee....feel so proud of ourselves! Tink there were abt 8 of them. Boy went over to tok to them...they oso congratulate him. So its back to work for us!! Busy busy busy!!...coz at this point of time, other frens start cuming in. We took pics with the ST bikers and will put it up on our notice board. They were really nice guys and even said tat it shall be their new hang-out and tat they will arrange for all the 25 ST Bikers to cum down!! hee....

Oh!! did I forget to mention abt tis very cute, yandao, cool and humble bouncer??...His name is Ah-Hu!...but my boy they all di-siao him and call him "Hu-Ge"!! Sounds fierce eh?? But he's not fierce at all!!....He's a bouncer at the KTV beside their cafe. He's a really nice guy, and he's really very COOL looking. *Drools* ahahhaa...But sometimes when I see him, I feel a bit scared lah, coz he has got tattoos all over his well-toned muscles. Ironically, his looks is actually quite boyish, so dun really like a bouncer at all!!...But he's really a very humble guy manz! I'm impressed! Ok, wat happens is tat he came over with his frens to order some drinks. So when I saw him, I juz smiled to him lah (but I was actually drooling!! ahahahhaa)....and he actually bowed to me!! Awwww!!!!....Anyway, his frens decided to tar-bao the kopi and drink inside the KTV, coz they wana sing song mah. Tink tat Hu-ge's fav drink is Mocha Ice-blended, coz he got so excited and keep recommending it to his frens! So cute!!...hee...Guess wat, he actually pop in and pick up the drinks when we said we will deliver it to him. But he keep insisting tat its ok, he will take it himself. Then I juz told him tat the drinks will take some time to prepare, coz they ordered 5 Ice-blended, and tell him again tat we will deliver to him. Surprised surprised! He automatically came back 5mins lata to see if the drinks are ready. Really nice guy...no airs ard him at all!!....Haiz...okok, cannot lust over him lah....shall see but cannot touch! ahaha....but he shall be a motivational factor for mi to go down the cafe and happily wash the dishes for Free!! ahahhaha

We oso got our very first walk-in customer, and it was at a strange timing of 12am, when we were packing up and closing soon. He juz drove his car and parked outside the cafe and bght 2 mineral bottled water. Tink he's quite impressed with the place coz he asked several questions, but he taut the place oni for bikers, coz my boy lah!!, put oni all his Harley, BM and Ducati posters!!...So somehow misled tat guy. But I clarified with him the name of the cafe i.e. Wheelers is to cater to ppl who has got wheels!! heee.....anyway, hope to see him back to the cafe and prolly he can get his Hyundai Club down, since he drives a Matrix!...Oh! tat reminds me of Kenny, our fren. He bght his Hyundai Getz from my boy. And he was really Sweet to pop in to say hi, when he juz came back from Cameron Highlands. So he promised to bring his Getz club ppl down this weekend.

Me went back ard 12+am...coz my boy and his partners hab a meeting, and I feel tat it's not legally right for me to be there lah, so I automatically excuse myself lor. Tink I'm used to sleeping late, so can't get to sleep when I'm hm. Decided to help them create more awareness by posting their cafe up on Forum. I posted 2, 1 on the Yahoo Msg Boards and the other is in sgForum. Guess I was a bit brain dead so din really read the terms and conditions. 1 of the clause states tat no form of any advertising is allowed! Unfortunately, I made the whole damn thing sounds like an advert. Lucky there was tis kind soul who told me tat I may be banned for advertising, so I edited my post 6 times, before I tink tat it sounds more like a recommendation than advert!...Haiz...anyway, quite happy tat as of yest 3am I posted it up, oredi got 142 views of it. Of coz I know not all 142 ppl will cum down lah, but I'm sure there will be 1 or 2 who will drop by and check out the place. Shall keep my fingers crossed!!

Nice rite??...But I did not pass it to her personally though coz I was busy at the cafe last night and I reckoned that by the time I'm hm, she would be in dreamland!...So I passed it to my parents when they came down to the cafe and asked them gib it to her. But I gave her a call at ard 11pm asking her if she got the flowers. And she was so happy and surprised!! Hee....Tink no one is as bo liao as I am lah!! ahhaha....

Congrates to Wheelers Cafe on their Grand Opening!!


Me & Jolene @ Wheelers
Originally uploaded by mayleen81.
Yeah! My boy's cafe is finally opened yesterday. I was there from 4.30pm, all the way till nearly 2am!!...Did some waitressing over there, coz there were so many ppl and we were quite shorthanded. Helped to wash the cups, blender, plates, teaspoon etc etc. Fortunatley, Ryan's gf was there to help out as well and heard tat she was there since 10am!! Unlike me, tink I was still in dreamland at 10am!! ahaha...Nah! I reckoned tat I'll be redundant since there won't be much ppl there in the aftnn anyway. Okok...I'm juz lazy!!...hee...but glad tat I went in ard 4pm, coz they were saying it was damn freaking hot in the aftnn!! Heng ah!! managed to siam away from the scorching heat!! heh heh!!

Anyway, they were quite angry when I arrived. Not becoz I was late in gg down, but coz of Desmond, 1 of their partners. Apparently he wasn't happy over some stuffs the previous night and he went hm sulking. Then when they tried to contact him yest morning, which is the day of their opening, he was nowhere to be found. He was simply MIA!!! They suspected it could be due to the conflict the previous night but did not wan to jump to conclusion. My boy was quite worried....afraid tat he may have met with accident or something, but we juz keep our fingers crossed. Call him oso neber pick up, then he neber go work oso, until finally at around 5+, Jolene managed to contact him. Heard from her tat he gave a tired voice and gave some excuses then said tat he'll go down at night! Damn!!...the whole world is slogging in the cafe and there u are, gibing lame excuses!! Mind You!! Its not as if U dun hab a share in the business ok!!!...Tink he's too petty liao lah!! Anyway, my boy and his other partners not so happy abt it lah, but they tried to brush it off first. After all, it's the 1st day of business, so dun wan any conflicts.

Oh, I tried on the Nestle Brownies. So Delicious!! *Yum Yum*...but a bit sweet lah. Tink brownies are like tat. I remember once I went to NYDC with sis and Miss Clara, the brownies is oso very sweet...and we even had ice-cream on it!! Gosh! So sinful manz! Back to the cafe...I contributed $10, coz they decided not to charge for food and drinks. A token will be fine. At first I wana pay for the exact amt for the food and drinks which is mayb ard $3, but upon seeing all the 10 notes inside, feel a bit pai sei throw in a purple coloured wan...so end up rugi $7!! ahahaha...ok, I'm quite neow!!

After my sinful dose of rich brownies, me went carrefour with boy to stock up on some stuffs, coz not enough of Vanilla Ice-Cream, Bananas and Strawberries for Smoothies. At first we went to Kallang Leisure Park, but realised tat the whole place "collapse" liao...like ghost town. Tink there no biz lah. So bo bianz, nearest will be Suntec. While waiting for my boy to go toilet and do his business, I pop into this flower shop. Saw tat the flowers are Sooooo pretty. Decided to get a bouquet for my darling sis. Coz Valentine's Day is over, so the price of flowers dropped a bit lah. I got her a big sunflower with some other nice flowers around. Ok, maybe I shld take a pic of it and post it up lata if I got nothing beta to do!...But it's really pretty lah.

We went back to the cafe around 7+ coz of the bloody jam on ECP. Luckily we exit fort road...coz the massive jam is all the way until Marine Parade!! Phew! Then it's back to work. Ppl start cuming in shortly aft we went back. My boy's frens, his partner's family and frens, my parents, his parents, everyone's parents! ahahaha....But the place still haven really gain awareness yet lah, coz mostly is our own ppl and frens, no "fresh" walk-in thou. So there I was, entertaining my boy's frens since he so busy blending and making kopi...then at times I'll pop into the kitchen area and help wash the dishes lor. Cheap Labour!! No no...shld be FREE LABOUR!! ahahha

Oh!!!...but got something quite suay happened. Duno izzit a bad Omen!! PPl who are reading tis, in future if anyone of u out there wans to order flowers/gifts, PLEASE DO NOT ORDER FROM NOEL!! I REPEAT MYSELF, DO NOT ORDER FROM NOEL!!!!! PLS BOYCOTT THEM! ok...wat happens is tat, Desmond's frens ordered flowers to congratulate him. Guess wat the Noel ppl send to the cafe??...A Big Word of CONDOLENCES!!! Kaoz!! such mistake canot be pardoned!...Funny thing is, we oso neber realised the mistake when signing it, coz the flowers looks normal. Tink it was only at nite, someone spotted it. Desmond immediately called his fren and told him abt it. By tis time, someone got so angry and broke the Condolences word into 1/2 liao! Wanted to throw into dustbin, but they decided to keep it as evidence and sue Noel! Desmond's fren came down to collec the evidence and start apologising. But it's not his fault lah...it's Noel's fault. Then came the ultimate! His fren called Noel and complain. Guess wat? The reply from Noel's staff: "You juz take it out lor!!" F**K!! wat kind of attitude is tat manz!! Tats when his fren really decided to pursue the matter and he started calling his lawyer!! Worst still, lata at nite, duno tis grp of mouners went to a corner and started buring the "Da Wu"...those paper house and maid etc. Funny thing is tat we dun see any funeral wake around. Of all places, they choose to burn it in Kallang Carpark! Kaoz!! Really bad bad sign!! Haiz...but wat to do. Then they on the music loud loud to "cover" the sound from the monk's chanting and the ringing of his bell. So suai!! But aft tat, my boy and I made a joke out of it. We were tinking scully the "Congrates" words end up on the Flowers for the deceased family!! And it also says "All the Best"!! ahhaha...tink Noel sure kana sue until bankrupt!

The crowd starts to disperse at aound 11+. After all, its a weekday, ppl still need to work. But got 1 table still happily sit there till 1am. So waited for them to leave before we packed up. By the time everything is done, oredi 2+am liao. Lucky traffic was quite smooth at tis hr, so got hm quite fast. Duno how I still got the energy, started gossiping with my boy until nearly 4am then sleep! We came to a conclusion. It muz a retribution for Desmond for treating his business and partners in such sucky manner, so tats y he receive a condolences! ahaha...ya, we are mean ppl, but can't blame us for saying tat. C'mon, we're all adults...shld not behave like kids. My boy did ask him, but he tried to brush the matter off and sweep it under the carpet. And throughout the period he came, he was hiding in 1 corner, with his own family and frens and not bothering to help out at all! It was only lata on mayb he feel pai sei then he start "appearing" in the kitchen!...ANyway, tink my boy is gona hab a good tok with him today. Hope they dun end up throwing parangs and knifes at each other! ahahha

Hmm...tink tonite gg down offer free labour again! ahaha... good way to exercise and slim down manz! :)

Gosh!! It has been ages since my last entry, coz was super duper sick. Luckily, I managed to get well on Chinese New Year Eve. Cannot imagine if I had to eat plain white porridge on CNY eve, while the rest of my loved ones had steamboat!! Gald tat mummy decided to close 1 eye and let mi hab steamboat tat nite! ahhaa....

Went to see fireworks after a delicious meal of steamboat. Well, it's kind of a yearly practice for me to go see fireworks after renuion dinner. It's really beautiful, too bad I din capture it down in video or something. Next morning was spent at my grandma's place. Usual practice annually!...Then went hm had lunch, after which I slept thru the whole afternoon!!...Around 5pm, my few super FAKE relatives came by our house to visit us, AS USUAL!!!....duno why they alwaiz love to cum at such timing and then conveniently stay for free dinner! Well, it's not the dinner tat matters, it's the way they speak and behave, SO Damn Freaking FAKE!!...Glad tat I oni see them once a year!!...Anyway, after dinner I went to my boi's cafe for some free kopi!!...ahaha...a nice hiding place for me!! ahahaha....

The second day of CNY was spent at my boi's relative place. Glad to receive some ang-pow there, to make up for my birkenstock! ahaha....

Saturday was piggying and gambling at Miss Clara's place! So fun manz! We looked at the videos and vcds taken while in Aussie last year and really laughed our heads off, seeing all the silly stuffs we did in Aussie! Clara's mummy is a great cook....I LOVE her Curry chicken!! *Drools*...Nearly finish up the whole pot of it! aahahha...Played BlackJack, win a bit bit...ard $1+!! ahahha....aiya, coz we oni play like 10 or 20 CENTS!!!....juz for the fun of it lah. But tis year was quiter in Clara's place as compared to last year. Tink last year there were more people and all of us were more crazy! hee....anyway, went to my sis fren's place after Clara's place. Chit chat for ard 1hr+...then I went off shopping!!...Yeah! My all time favourite activity!....Not enough of shopping yest, so today is a continuation! hee...met up with my long time neber seen Harley frens! Miss them so much! Gave a really big hug and kiss to Joseph!!....Hee....After tat, had early Valentine's Day dinner in Cafe Cartel!...Met Adeline and her new found bf there.

So very Sick : (

It has really been a long long time ever since my previous updates. Had been super duper sick for the past 1 week. Even now, I am not 100% recovered from it. Had high fever, bad flu and terrible cough, such tat my lungs hurt each time when I start coughing. Last night my cough was really bad! Just coughed non-stop and I seriously thought that I may die anytime!! Felt really terrible.

Well, it all started off with a harmless sore throat and cold. Just a normal flu I would say. Felt a bit feverish when I went to see my family doc. He gave me all the necessary medication, except the most important one, ANTIBIOTICS!!! I guess the docs are not supposed to gib away antibiotics freely. Needless to say, my condition starts to worsen the very next day, with my temperature hitting 39 degrees on the thermometer. No choice, had to see the doc again, and of coz, I finally got my dose of antibiotics!

Was somewhat bed-ridden for the past 1 week as well. Just don't feel well or energetic enough to move around. Felt very restless and juz not in the mood to do any other thing, except sleeping!

It feels really terrible habing to fall sick just before CNY, as this means I can oni see, but not touch all the CNY goodies. All the bak kuas, oranges, chocolates, cookies etc. I can oni see other ppl enjoying it. Haiz....

I'm getting listless here again. Need to get some rest now. Hmm... Wonder if my mummy will allow me to eat steamboat tonight....*Sob Sob*....

Updates......

Yeah! Finally I'm back here writing my blog. Has been super duper busy ever since I came back from my Malacca Trip. Yet to find time and write up on my Malacca trip. Will prolly do so if I'm not too lazy these few days. Hee...

Anyway, I've decided to turn down the job at Knight Frank after much serious consideration. It was a tough decision to be made. I guess I've to thank my fren for enlightening me. But prior to tat, my papa and bro has been discussing abt it as well...tink they feel tat I'm seriously underpaid. Besides, I've to work over the CNY and seems tat I may not be compensated really tat well after all. And when I told my fren abt it, he shared the same sentiments. Haiz...infact he was asking me if I'm desperate or something to actually take up such a lowly paid job. No doubt its a good company, but then, he mentioned several good points. Firstly, it's still a temp job. It's not a confimed thingy tat i'll be offered a perm job at the end of the contract. Secondly, a full time agent is definately earning much much much more than wat i'm earning. In short, I'm like being exploited. Thirdly, the job market should be better aft CNY, so shld not juz rush into it. Mmm...basically, these are some of the main reasons. More importantly, is the commitment for the 6 weeks. Was afraid if a perm job cums along, but then the company cannot wait for me, then i'll be letting go of this job opportunity. Anyway, my fren was saying tat I'm giving him the impression tat I'm seriously in need of $$ and job, thus taking up tis job. His advice for me: Be Patient!!...After tat, I called my papa and seek his advice. He started calculating for me the percentage I'm getting assuming the condo is sold for 1/2 million. To my "horror", i'm oni paid 6.4% out of the 100%!! It's roughly ard there lah...and my papa oso agree tat the job market shld be better aft CNY. That was when I made my final decision.

Called Janice and juz told her tat I've found a perm job. Can hear tat she feels quite disappointed tat I've decided not to let them exploit mi!! ahahaha....So, I'm now back to the unemployed status again. Really hope tat there will be more job opportunities aft CNY. Sianz....it's now back to job hunting again!! Arrrg!!!...

Went to Chinatown with Miss Clara on Monday. I tink we're really 2 potential aunties in future! We shopped in Chinatown from 6pm till 11.30pm!! We went to early each and every stores to look at their merchandise, even though they may be selling similar stuffs! Ok, we're juz checking out their different designs and prices. Really feel so auntified tat day!! haiz...it's alwaiz like tat when i'm gg out with Miss Clara...coz she loves "auntie" shopping!! ahahaha....Hmm...tink I should create a post on Chinatown shopping with Clara!!

Basically, Tuesday was spent shopping with my bf. Went Ikea to buy all the stuffs for his cafe. Spent some time there and bght quite a lot of stuffs. Went to his cafe and unload his stuffs and waited for him to end his discussion with his partners. By the time we left his cafe, it was oredi 11+....then I sent him to TTSH, coz he was feeling quite sick, flu + asthma, tight breathing. At times, I'm quite pissed with him, coz whenever he's sick, he'll alwayz drag and drag until his condition worsen, then he'll be willing to see the doc! Tink he's like me, super stubborn! By the time he finish seeing the doc, it was oredi 2am. Damn super tired!...Luckily still managed to drive back hm w/o dozing off behind the wheels!

Today was spent shopping again for stuffs in his cafe. But I decided to cum back hm earlier coz I tink my bf spread all his flu virus to me!!...Feeling sick now!!...Trying my best not to fall sick since CNY is juz next week! I still wan to eat Bak Kua, Chocolates, cookies, tarts etc!...

Tink I need to go rest my brain cells for a while before i'll write my trip to Malacca and Chinatown! *Yawnz*...
