almost.. perfect

Ate*lier Ro~yale

Because how much I enjoy blog surfing everywhere and anywhere. I found this on someone blog then on Face*book as well. Its so funny because I never really thought we will have this here in Singapore.

Not when I was in Japan and witness the "butlers" on the busy shopping streets. Not when I was watching this Japanese movie on cable called "snow white and the 7 dwarfs?".

I recognize some of the guys from the various blogs i am reading. Seems like the role allows them to do what they like best... ;)


HEH

A lazy sunday.. ..

Pictures to do the talking this time ;)

Pre- Mid Autumn Celebration 1

Won many little pressies at the ex-office annual MA games, what makes me really happy was ...

Not this. But I think this set of gifts was very interesting.. This China set were all bought at the Shanghai ExPO. Note the Chinese wordings!

THIS is what i like. RE-usable Star$ bottle that comes with its own straw.

Okay totally not relevant. But after watching so many korean dramas, I still like this Japanese artiste..

SWOOONZZZZZZ :)

Neon Lights & Crazy Shopping

Went to Tim Grp new chain at StudM hotel and its was a good meet up with KLian. Drinks were free flow and there will snacks for everyone and anyone there. Because its the night of their official launch, we can see a good mix of patrons at zero costs to our pockets. To me the real deal closer is the live music and zen cozy interiors. . .


Our buys for 3.5 hours at town. Two girls arm with S$1000 task to buy 254 gifts from the smallest group of 32 little presents to the top prize which is only ONE. =-) A tiring tasks but rewarding nevertheless as we pick up rewards in kind along the way as we search,shop, buy!!! Very shiok shopping as yen summarized it best - Shopping without without the care of prize. SO looking forward to the games at the ex company where we will all have chance to win the 254 prizes!!!! ;) I am glad that I still do keep in contact with the people at the ex Co and feeling lucky that I am still included =D Know that this probably won't last too long with the turn over rate etc, but I shall just enjoy the ride as per life..

=D

Hunger

I can't admit defeat.

I DON'T want to .. ..

I want as I want

I am seriously contemplating if I should leave. I fear that I will not reap what I sow by quitting. But yet equally heavy for the heart, I worry that this isn't for me.

I had my assurances to carry on & not give up, but it sure is discouraging at the moment.

I think I need to figure out and not waiver asap.

Happily Ever After

The girls that I am probably closest with at my previous work place.

Passing times @ the Wedding. My photos somehow either come out too dark or too bright by different standards. . .

Just so more of my dress can be seen haha

The kids did a video for ZZJJ and here's a snapshot for you, Yen. Know how much you miss everybody here, basically they are still the same!!!!

One Bite at a Time

"i'm taking this to be a lesson is patience, commitment, and perspective. rome wasn't built in a day. neither was your business, your reputation, your relationship with that prized customer, your ideal lifestyle, or your personal fulfilment.

these things take time. and while the task may seem quite daunting and perhaps unattainable at first; when broken down task-by-task, milestone-by-milestone ... it's actually quite digestible.

so let's get into the habit of looking at each massive, seemingly unrealistic, mammothly-gigantic challenge ... stare it straight in the face, and confidently ask, "where shall i start?""

-From Today is the Best Day of my Life

Was feeling slightly discouraged today as my cousin shares with me his manpower sales recently. Its disheartening to see how easy it is for others as you struggle with your numbers. However, I think I have come round. I need more time. Maybe 5 figures will never be possible especially on a long term basis. . . But surviving in life is probably more than a number game. I got to learn to be contented yet hungry enough.

HAHA moments

Receive a random MSN message from someone back in TPJC, whom i have no idea who after I facebooked! I thought it was a friend from NTU whom happen to have the same name, now thinking back I wonder if I had actually talked to this fellow back in my active MSN days. Way before this perpetually "Busy" Status and even way before "Appear Offline" days, thinking it was THAT friend?

This is big joke!

Coming to work as if its the first day every day.. .

Professionals, amateurs and the great unwashed

If you want something done, perhaps you would ask a professional to do it. Someone who costs a lot but is worth more than they charge. Someone who shows up even when she doesn't feel like it. Someone who stands behind her work, gets better over time and is quite serious indeed about the transaction.

Or perhaps you could hire a passionate amateur. That's a forum leader doing it for love, not money. An obsessive in love with the craft. A talented person willing to trade income for the chance to do what he loves, with freedom.

Please, though, don't hire someone who just thinks it's a job. This category represents the majority of your options, and this category is what gives work a bad name.

SETH'S BLOG Again.

I love you from the moon and back...

This B&W film picture taken by Miss Kai has to be posted up! I really like it cos B&W steals my heart somehow. Black is the presence of all colours then White the absence of them. I remember repeating & relating this to Yen (or Yu?) for a period of time, I just like how it rhymes then I admit. I have this "pose" a lot of time when I am out & there is a menu. Sometimes even more awkward with the silence between choices. Or just uncomfortable since Menu Browsing usually happens at the start of my dates. =P


I make mooncakes tonight (Mon). Shanghai Mooncake with Melon Seed & Walnut and Lemon Snowskin Mooncake with Pomelo & Mango Filling! Register for their hands-on class, impromptu & spontaneous just so it will be a different Monday and that its one more to add to my "Done, Maybe Never Again list" list. As much as routine comforts me, I think I love chosen spontaneous much better. I was a terrible baker. In my mind, I am like Yen Can Bake. But in reality, I am far from even the average. Real bad but I survived with nice class mates and a helpful teacher. He whom basically mix, knelt and mold the dough alot of the mooncake for me so that I can bring decent end products home. =-) Back breaking it is and fingers are in need of a good massage and rest now. (Psst, I did knelt the dough and all but at each stage they somehow wasn't good enough and need a little help) I am a terrible photographer. Whenever I look at those food blogs, the foods looks so good! And I figures how hard can it be to take good shots of still objects. Its not easy, hence I hope I had explain the below images by me. Haha. *Will update on the taste and general feedback later on. *


-Disclaimer: Shanghai Mooncake (above) was my least assisted works. My downfall was snowskin! (below) You should see why now, one is a round ball of dough another much more delicate. Interesting Info -> There is a chocolate truffles shell with mango jelly in each snowskin as well!

I was a little too excited with the colouring hence instead of the elegant faint yellow, I got the vibrant yellow that looks a bit too much like Durian Snowskin. =(

I smile through the whole video

J-A-D-E-D

I have a confession:

I think I am stuck
in a job I don't quite see the light.
Stagnant and quite not satisfied.
Working hours, standard.
Colleagues, relax and nice.
Work environment, cozy and stress free.
Its been only 5 months and the Japan guilt trip.

Somehow what I thought I am in for,
differs now.
Air flight to oversea recruitment
likely be replaced with web cam locally.
Sales sources dry and depressing at the moment.
Basically my dreams are crushed.
My hope are down.

I know I will not quit without a year experience at least but I'm just jaded.

:P

Just a ponder(quater)

If you can remove something (non-living) from the Earth, What will it be?

As the DJ ponders on air - an emotion, characteristic, object -- I came up with a crazy idea. How about you?
