And I'm back to continue my previous entry.. With regards to the massive jam in front of my building for the whole day, which also nearly caused me to be late for class, is due to closure of the road (from 3 lanes become 1 lane!). My bus was jammed for almost half an hour, which during normal days took around 5 minutes.

After new year's celebration, I returned back to work on Wednesday and met up with Joyce and Jill (my ex-collegue) for dinner on Friday. We went to this restaurant inside Amara Hotel (located in Tanjong Pagar) called Thanying Thai. There, we ordered fish, chicken, vegetables and prawns. We also had ala-carte dessert buffet, which to me, is still okay, but Joyce loved the kuehs a lot.. After dinner, we decided to enter this deserted corner bar called Hue to have a drink. I had my first Bailey's Irish Cream which tastes divine! It's a blend of vodka, whiskey, evaporated milk, almond and coconut extract, and most importantly, chocolate syrup! All in all, the drink plus the excellent romantic ambience in the bar makes me feel dreamy all over. We had a nice chat. It's so comfortable to be around people you like and whom is just happy to be with you. To this, I've taken a lot of photos again! And here they are...

Dinner at Amara & Drinks at Hue

My whole new year's week is packed with programs!! Next up, I went to Sentosa Flower exhibition where all the pretty flowers are being brought to Sentosa for a galore gathering. The whole place is packed with people due to the weekend, lucky my bro-in-law drove and I got my Sentosa Pass, which admit us in free of charge! Hee.. Me, my mum, my sis, my bro-in-law and momo sat happily in the car on Saturday's noon to our destination, Sentosa. This is the first time I've been to the flower exhibition. I heard that Sentosa had been having the exhibition for many years already. Oh well, at least I managed to catch hold of this year's. It's indeed an eye-opener for me!

And this makes the ending of my happy new year celebrations. Hee.. Exciting right? More exciting events coming up, include my school trip to China, Beijing this coming May. It shall also serves as a graduation trip for me, where I'll be going with some of my classmates. The school will be bringing us to see many developments and statutory boards over there. Am excited about this trip. Even brought a suitcase today at BIG's. Hee..

Just now, went to BIG's warehouse sale (at Harbourfront Mall) with my brother and colleague. I brought a new vacuum cleaner, a cordless phone and a suitcase. I'm planning to buy a very petite and cute MP3 player tomorrow. Hee.. My brother bought a lot too, he got himself a new MP3 player, card reader and earphones. It has been a fun day shopping again, even though what I brought are all for the family. Hehe..

Oh well, it's late, better get to bed, till next time.. Good nite..

Now I'm trying to stay on track my last semester of study, a lot of lectures and tutorials to catch up with but I know I can make it, ever since completing my dissertation. My work, on the other hand, is getting more and more pit ending, am seriously considering whether to look for jobs or not. Just today, I saw PSA looking for people, I am thinking hard about it, my pay here is too low, the job scope is 40% administrative, the people here.. well.. still not bad, but not close either, only thing that's keeping me back will be my manager and colleagues.. Hai, torn between relationship and money again..

Back to more happier matters, Simin's Wedding is a success (with hiccups here and there) ending happily on 20th Jan 2006. I went to her house to be one of the jie-meis before 7am, and after the hoo-haa about the jie-mei angbaos, we went to Mt Faber for photo taking. The dinner started at 8pm, me and meimei took the initiative to tend the counter. For the dinner, I took some photos since I had free time at last, the food tasted quite good, but the timing is too slow, the whole dinner dragged until 11pm (maybe the bride and bridegroom has more than 100 tables to yum-seng with, that's why the late hours) before me and meimei went home to have our well-deserved rest. Ahh... below are the photos!

And after Simin's Wedding come the preparation of Chinese New Year. This year, my mum is extremely busy, as my sis-in-law's side plus my bro-in-law's side - next-of-kin, all came to my house to have steamboat feast. Have an enjoyable time thou, as my house had never been so crowded before.. Anyway, photos say the most words!
