Company CNY dinner
Monday, January 19, 2009

Date: 29 Jan 09

Time: 6.30pm

Venue: 32 Sultan Gate

Had a very original, in-house, warm and heartfelt celebration with colleagues! What's in for a great feast?

- Lou Hei

- Steamboat

- Chef dishes

Kitchen team did a great job and dishes out a lot of wonderful food from Chili crab, mushroom abalone with Sea cucumber, 'Kong Ba' bao to prawns with Vermicelli, ending with 'Hai de ye' with Longan for dessert. A spread of steamboat items were prepared and consists of fresh fish balls from Bedok, fish slices, seafood and vegetables. Without saying, for sure we had our famous laksa as one of the steamboat soup base.

With all the food, of course we needed our Operations team to do a great set-up which is very important as well. With such a spread of food, we sure need proper set-up to enhance the atmosphere and dining purposes right. Set-up was great as dining table was replaced immediately after a messy Lou Hei for steamboat.

Mini vegetarian steamboat was done too...

Of course, for all of these to happen, we have to 'Thank the Organizers!' First project together by S,R & Y was wonderful. The horoscope print out and the meticulous orange goody pack was creative and useful!

Had a long night of gathering and feasting... Sis and myself went home with two
bags of take-away for parents and brothers to enjoy too! It was always great to gather... regardless of what festive/occasion!


I loved Holidays and the kind of special bonding you'll feel around you...
People gets closer... happier... cheerful and forward looking...
It's all about the people around you and the energy you get!

Just hoping that it can last longer, but it always seemed to disappear on the very next day.

Phuket: Day 2
Saturday, January 10, 2009

We got up super early, Zzz. BF don't even allow me to laze on bed! :(

2nd Day:

Phi Phi Island + Snorkeling

The bus went around to fetch people after us, and finally got to to the 'ferry' terminal. We were introduced to a tour guide, and group members were given a sticker each to be pasted on our clothes. No. 39!

Flippers on rental for snorkeling (100baht per pair)

Took a speedboat instead of the normal Ferry to save time but man! We're out in the BIG ocean, in a small shaky speedboat with 20 others, strong on-coming waves, wind and splashing sea water. Brr... cold~~~

The speedboat slowed down in the middle of the ocean as passengers are moving
about when sea water continued to splash in heavily. It tossed from left to right along with the strong waves and it was quite scary can.

Alright, at least it's scary to me as I do not know how to swim ma. There's this teenage girl who was too frightened, and broke into tears... Brr!

1st stop
(Maya Bay on Koh Phi Phi Ley)

We finally reached the 1st stop and there is this emergency situation. The 1st thing i did was to look for convenience store, and guess what... where to find convenience store on an island for sightseeing? Duh... Sigh! It was bad and did not spend much time enjoying the scenery on this Island, but looking back at the photos, wasn't it beautiful? It's like... I was there!!!

2nd stop
(Monkey Bay on Koh Phi Phi Don)

Photobucket
The humorous tour guide

- "Bananas are for the monkeys, do not eat them"
- "Do not touch the monkeys, they are wild and will bite you. If they bite you, please take care because you will ...... turn into a monkey in 3 days!

The picky ones (tired of bananas)



3rd stop
(Snorkeling)

We hopped onto the speed boat after visiting the monkeys, and stop nearby for snorkeling . I gave it a miss as it was too deep for me and nope, not even with life jacket. I can't swim and can't control my direction which means, I might just drift away with the waves? Ha-ha... no no!

Vin tried of course, his 1st time!

4th stop
(Lunch)

Lunch with the group and yeah, I saw shops around! Chatted with the tour guide and found out some information on the 'standard' rates for shopping items. Bad... As they always quote high prices for any purchase :(

No more photos for the day... camera went on hunger strike!



Final stop
(Koh Khai Nai - I think?)

Grabbed a life jacket, put on the flippers and there we go... Snorkeling by the beach. I wanna walk into the sea and ouch, it was painful! The stones, shells and everything were big and sharp, with lots of 'pebbles' that you might just step and slip. All I want was to rinse my flippers albeit...

Luckily Bf is there to be my navigator... like I mentioned, I can't swim and not to mention knowing how to control my direction out in the sea. We swam around nearby and ouch ouch ouch... knocked onto the corals many times, didn't know they were so hard! The fishes were more friendly, they do not bite and just swim around you.

There were photographers taking photos during the journey and of course, they took ours, printed out and put it in a nice photoframe with seashells. We spotted ours along with many others easily as we are the only Asian, and our photo was displayed as sample. Bought 1 out of 2 pc, as we didn't have camera halfway through and
perhaps, something memorable to keep. Wanted to get both, but kinda expensive so... nah!

Yeah... completed all stations and had fun, it was nice, of course kudos to my beloved, he has done the research for this trip diligently!


Photobucket

We were too tired and missed out the night happening yesterday, headed to the streets once we wash up, and not forgetting, to charge the camera!

Birthday - Part 2 (Phuket): Day 1
Friday, January 9, 2009

1st trip to a beach out of Singapore and Patong beach, was a total difference. But hey, I still love Singapore's Sentosa!

Photobucket

1st day:
Checked-in, unpack luggage and out to explore the place.

Tiger Inn

Photobucket Photobucket
Photobucket

Distance to the beach was really near: turn left after 50m, walk straight and there you go, right in front!

We saw various tour agencies and checked out the price for the events that BF have in mind. Everything sounds foreign to me, as he was the one who has been doing researches for the trip, and I was... all busy with work.

Looked around for snorkeling, Fantasea show, Trip to Phi Phi Island, ATV aka motor car rides. Got a good deal of all these at $108,000baht for two of us and settled the 3 days itinerary

Was really hungry and looked around for local food but did not managed to get any apart from restaurants, MacDonald's, Coffee bean etc. Landed on the fine sand and got to a coffee house along the beach. Lunch was quite nice and I liked the pineapple rice... Somehow, it has a special taste.

Photobucket

Time passes real fast and we got to head back to hotel for our first event.



Fantasea: Show + Buffet dinner

Check out the website

It was very vibrant with lotsa people, the bright lightnings and carols!

Dinner was in a huge 4,000 seat buffet restaurant - Golden Kinnaree.


Photobucket

A table number was assigned to us at entrance and boy! There are close to 5 buffet lines but... it's actually the same food for each buffet lines.




BF played some games after dinner and won a mini Elephant.

Photobucket




Mass announcement was made to call for entrance shortly!

* No camera/mobile phones are allowed :(

Process for safe-keeping and collection of prohibited items was really good. There are like, more than a thousand of audiences per show and with a good estimate of at least 1 mobile/1 camera per person. Yet, the whole process was done without much waiting time.

Just a smooth flow of moving forward to security scanning, taking a tag once items are kept in a nice NaRaYa pouch and you may enter the theater. Abide by the rules and everything will be smooth sailing, nice!

The show was nice apart from repeating actions till BF fell asleep for numerous times. Guess he was too tired after a late night at KTV and waking up early to catch the plane :(

Hmmm... I did not catch the storyline anyway, kinda weird. But overall, performances are good with elephants being the main highlights!

Birthday - Part 1 (Family)
Thursday, January 8, 2009

Went to Golden Mile with bf to exchange currency for tomorrow's Phuket trip after work. It was really last minute and I have yet packed my luggage for the trip, and gonna reached airport by 7.30am.

Sis proposed to arrange for dinner with parents for my birthday before I leave for the trip and thought through several places from noon till night, but cannot seem to decide where to head for dinner.

Final deal: I chose the best option, Chicken rice steamboat beside Golden Mile. The childhood place for dinner and Ala carte steamboat ranging from small, medium to large set. Back then, steamboat was not even popular~

Was really hungry as I missed my lunch and ordered Satay, which was nice! Ordered a whole load of dishes when parents, bro, sis and hubby with the little mischievous reached.

The must have 'sweet & sour pork', 'pork rib', and 'chap cai'. No photos as everyone was too busy cooking and eating...


Ended dinner early and Bro suggested KBox.

Sis went ahead to book a room for 8 at Marina Square. Kinda expensive but we could sing till 3am, and hardly get a chance to gather, so why not?


First time, after many many years since I was like, 7 yrs old? The popular songs back then were from the Four Heavenly Kings aka 四大天王.

We haven't step into any Karaoke with everyone since then...


It was really fun, especially with the little gem running and dancing all over the place. It was a night of mixed classic oldies, children, retro and pop songs as we have ages from 1 to 50 with a series of birthday songs at 12am. Dad got a cake from Kbox, and it was quite yummy. Choc fudge if not wrong, but the bad part was, they do not have any containers nor box for us to bring
the cake home.

Even so, 1/2 of the cake diminishes along the way, like a swarm of bees just passed by. Both Bro and bf, scrap off the chocolate by the side, then the sponge cake, and slowly, it was finished in no time. Slurpppp...


Appetizer - Photo of the day

Long post, but be satisfied with the appetizer first k. Main course will be up soon! More photos and videos are to be uploaded when I'm back.

Stay tuned!

The FAMILY

Many thanks for the time spent for making my birthday a wonderful one!


God has been kind to bestow everyone by my side to me...
Life has always been up and down...
Roller-coasting and causing things to be complicated!

How I loved them, despite the numerous fights or arguments that we had...
At times, one just can't control own's temper ya?

We are a happy family to start with, but why does things always turn out differently?
Can't we just live in harmony for the better or worst? Arghh...

In short, I still love you guys!
