*

anyway, cny pics will come later. finish posting the cny company's celebration 1st. hehe.

*

*
as mentioned, we were all divided into 4 color groups. each grp's supposed to perform an item. on wed we started the discussion and rehearsals. well, i tot my group (green) will emerge as the final winner cuz frm wad i see, we spent the most time rehearsing.. but in the end, purple group won. ha ~

*

~tt's me in my comfort zone.. but then... it's not all tt comfy lar.. cux it's really messy ~

*

~my immediate superiors.. 3-legs 3-legs ~

*

~best dressed male and female and the 2 runners up.. hahaha.. i v bhb ehhh ~

~my 'sista' and me~

*

~happy new year!!!! HUAT AHHHH !!! ~

this mth i've a gd chance of hitting the productivity.. but then... given the rehearsals and my 2 days leave.. looks like it gonna be affected again~

*

nvm.. will jiayou again in feb. and i completed 15days OT in jan! will aim for 16days in Feb. woohoo. cheong ahhh!!

*

*

Cny CeLeBraTioN

whewwww..... tdy is chu-xi already! o man.. how time flies!!!
**

not much of the ny mood this year lehh.. think due to the fact tt cny's in jan.. too fast liao ~ it's gonna be a long year ahead man~

*

as mentioned previously, on fri we had the cny celebration. basically went there to have fun and we knocked off at 3.30pm. it was a lot fun.. and.. i won the 'best dressed' award!!! lol ~~ din waste my effort in wearing that 'bling bling' dress eh.. kidda malu when i was on my way to work and back home cuz the dress really abit the shiny... as if i going to sing ge-tai.. whahaha.. lucky won myself the title.. but the prize not of much use to me leh. would rather they give me ang-bow. i v practical de..

*

took 1 pic and my camera went flat! real sian. lucky ezanne got camera and took alot of pics.. now waiting for the pics to download. super huge files..

*

meanwhile these r taken with my phone..

*

~the theme~

~the arrival of good fortune! my idea to have it done. heh ~

*
now dont be stunned... yes... going to show videos of my mgmt doing stunts. the 1st video will show my division head. besides singing, he did many other stunning acts tt day. we were all stunned by him.. din expect he can go all out.. but better not post them here else really will spoil his image.

video below were the heads dancing to the tune of jay chou's song - niu zai heng mang. waahah.. soo cutee!

*

*

it was really great effort on the mgmt's end.. spending the time, money and effort to organise this event to boost everyone's morale. given the bad times now, we really do need some time off to enjoy ourselves @ work. but after cny, we really must work hard liao.

and finally, me with my prizes! wahhahahaha ~

will post more pics after i download them. woohoo~
*

D&D

new year in another 1.5wks time? argghh.. it's juz sooo fast!

*

apparently no D&D this year. it doesnt bode well at all. frm wad i heard, D&D was held every year in the past. last year was at shangri-la... but this year... nothing?! i dont have a good feeling abt this at all. i juz hope the bonus in march will be as good as last year... i'll be more than contented then.. but then again.. given the situation now.. im not optimistic.

*

though no D&D, cny celebration is gonna be a big bash this year for my division. im kidda shock at the 'scale' of the celebration. apparently the mgmt's having meetings now and then to discuss on the budget, the programmes and the delegation of duties. the whole division is divided into 4 color groups and there'll be games, lucky draws, performances, food etc etc. all planned and organised by the mgmt... pretty cool huh? celebration will be nxt fri.. looking forward.. the theme is blossoms in the spring (or somthing like tt?) and there'll be a best dress contest too -_- sounds fun.. and the OTs these few days were used on decorating our section. wahah.. the whole office looks soo red now! will take some pics and post soon ~

*

so another week of OT b4 friday arrives and then cny and then my 2 days leave. after tt, life will really be back to normal and really gonna start working hard liao ~ mmmmmmm ~

*
tmr involve in training new guy again.... haii.. sian ~

TaiPei'08 II

been v v long since i dont have to go out on sunday. since aug i think, every sunday gotta go out for driving lessons. today is the 1st sunday since vv long time tt i have nothing on and can r&r le. good time to continue with taipei trip'08.

*

last entry stopped at day 3. day 3 nite we went to linjiang nite market, one tt i did not visit the last time i went with yh. it's not 1 of the famous nite markets, but amazingly, it's more fun than the famous ones! as usual, many food but besides food, this market has many games to play too! we played till past midnite and had to take cab back to hotel.

*

*

one of the interesting activities was prawning... there's a string with hook attached and the string is attached to a stick. u have to hook the prawns up..after tt can bbq them rite away.. hubb is real lousy at it. all 4 prawns were hooked by me!

*

*
actually kind of cruel. the prawns are real poor thing. have to suffer being 'hooked' and after tt bbq alive! gosh.. felt so sinful. but i think we didnt know how to bbq, the prawns went rather burnt... mm ~ fun experience though..

4th day morning went to this cute little restaurant. their mascot's a big dog and the dog is always outside the shop. attracted many passerby to take pics. i realised taipei has many of such cute shops..

*
after tt was to yehliu.... previously already heard this place is all abt rocks.. but the last time did not visit, so this time go there and take a look lor. a super far place.. bus journey was super long.. but not too bad. quite an interesting place too..

can u see me??? im gonna jump off the cliff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

at the joint... cool pic yeah ?

the v famous and icon of yehliu - the empress head. seriously, it looks like an empress head only at a specific angle. if u change angle, it will not look like an empress head le. and it was stated it's not known how long this empress head will be around cuz day by day the rock's being eroded and it'll come a day whereby the 'neck' part will break off. yep.

this icon is soo famous tt we all had to q up in order to take pic. and it wasnt easy cuz many pple walking past also..

*

inside yehliu also got place to shop and eat. and saw this super huge dog....... and i mean it.. it's HUGE...
*

*
see?? it's even bigger than it's owner!!!! soo many pple took pics of it. i realised taiwanese love dogs.. it's really common to see owners walking on the streets with their doggies..

*

*
nite time was to raohe nite market...

*

*

big big squid.. but not tt yummy.. ha ~

*

*
our super big bowl of double flavour ice ~ quite madness cuz it was soo cold and we were still eating ice! but we only ate after we completed our games of basketball in arcades. it was v cold on the street and our best way to keep ourselves warm was to go into the arcades and play games.. and basketball was one of our fav games.. and since then, back in singapore now, hubb and me still frequently visit arcades to play basketballs. lol~ dont know how much money we've wasted playing basketball and tabletennis in arcades. ~ ahh ~

*

*

this is our 1st hotel - royal castle (chengdu) hotel.. stated on the forum tt it's quite near frm ximending but actually not so.. it's quite far i will say.. abt 15mins walk.. but the room's v classy and cozy. got soft music playing 24hrs de..

*

*
i love this corner of the room the most! it's juz sooo cool and convenient. water cooler in the room~ i like !

and every nite, we watched weird and gruesome HK movies. the early days HK movies really cannot make it.... almost every movies we watched involved raping, killing, bloody, sexual scenes.. so disturbing ~
*

*

im simply wasting time and money.

My ColleaGues

I realised after being with the company for >1 year, i seldom talk abt my colleagues @ work. well..afterall, i don know who r reading this blog, so better not talk too much... but then again, this is my space, y cant i talk?? lol, anyway, not going to badmouth anyone or anything, so no worries.

*

took many pics during xmas eve. shall take this chance to intro my colleagues. like in all other places, there are also clinques in my dept. and as usual, some colleagues r closer and some not so close. it's juz normal yeah? cant expect to be close to everyone ba...

*

1st of all, lemme intro the log cake for this year... super nice and big de. 1.4kg from prima deli. :)

*

*
my pressies for this year.. apparently not as much as last year cuz many chose to treat food on days b4 eve..
*

*

*

this is ezanne. it's strange how everyone tot we look alike. i think there's >10 pple whom said we look alike. even walking on the street, the credit card promoter asked if we r sisters.. diao ~ she's one year younger than me. one of my closest colleagues.

*

this is eleanor. she's 2 years my junior. b4 ezanne joined the co, i was the youngest. b4 eleanor joined the co, ezanne was the youngest. so conclusion? we r the 3 youngest in the dept !! wahahah..

my immediate superiors, helen and darren. they r the sort who will leave u alone if u do ur work properly. pple who give me alot of space.. alot of freedom.. alot of discretion.. and who do not pressurize me.. this is something definitely not to be taken for granted.

this is papa keegan. someone whom i always go to when i meet difficulties. he's like doraemon.. possesses everything frm medicine to chopsticks. he's also like an encylopedia, full of knowledge and expertise. and he's v talkative and humorous too. guess how old is he?? he's 46years old! doesnt look like it yeah? v well-maintained.

the one in white is razak, one of the two malays in our dept. the one in green is richard. should be the most senior in age in our dept bah.

the one in pink is puayliang and the one in white is ivan. v helpful peepz too ~

the one in white is lee ing. she's an ex-crescentian too! she's like a big sis to me.. v knowledgeable... v mature and stable kind... the one in black is our ex-superior. she's no longer in charge of us which is a good thing, cuz i heard she's an iron lady and a strict superior. after i joined, she left.. heng arrh~ but apparently, the old birds love her.. cuz they feel that she can lead better.. well.. i dont know.. i was never under her. so no commentx :X

these few are the old birds... already there when i joined... gwen.. liping.. jane.. kit.. and kelvin (the one rite behind).. he was my mentor.

and finally... group pic! quite alot of pple yeah?

generally my colleagues r all quite young.. mostly ard late 20s or early 30s.. but amazingly, many r already married or going to get married. like gwen.. she's only 3 years older and already with 2 kids. kelvin who's 28 has a son already. interesting huh..

also perhaps most already have family commitments, our dept is not tt kind of happening dept whereby after work we'll go drinking or partying.. in fact, i think our dept is quite boring.. after work, we'll juz head our own ways.. yepp.. i will say we lack cohesiveness.. mmm... ~

and like i say.. some r really closer and some not so close. i realise there are many days whereby i did not even talk to some of the colleagues for the whole day. well, i dont know if tt is normal.. but it does happen.

anyway, so far there's no outright politics going on. it's juz clinques and i take tt as pretty normal. i juz thank god tt at least i managed to have a few close colleagues @ work. pple who encourage me.. pple who work alongside with me.. pple who motivate me.. pple who help me.. and i thank god for the nice superiors..

seriously.. they make working life easy for me. i always tot office will be full of politics, pple back stabbing u, hoping to put u down, badmouthing u, make life miserable for u.. then the superiors will be nasty and difficult and strict and always finding faults and deadline and targets are all they care.. but lucky for me, nothing of tt sort.

i will treasure wad i have.
