Baby & me

2 Comments

Time flies and she is already approaching her first birthday in a few weeks time!! Adorable miss clare tan ler en en ah bian. It just dawn upon me recently the cruelty of this world. I am feeling scared at times. As much as I want to be a baby all over again, just eat and sleep the whole day, reality check it is impossible.  In this crucial moment, I realise that everyone around me seems to be embroiled in their series of challenges and karma. I miss school in some way. Life after graduation is certainly very different.

!

and YES, I have OFFICIALLY  GRADUATED!!

Mummy, how do I play an Iphone??

ITS OFFICIAL!! I can just totally declare to myself that I suffer from 职业病!! Being stuck inside a store filled with nothing but kitchen equipment and plates and glasses can be really really scary. How about venturing into the freezer of 3 degrees with only a thin cardigan and counting horrible shelvings and never ending jackstacks. That spells scary also. I also tried entering the one that was -18 one which is used for food and boy I came out within seconds.In short, I have reach a stage whereby looking at some equipment, my mind can agar agar tell me its brand, who the hell is its supplier, what is the usage.  The worse thing about doing kitchen inventory now is that I dont have background of some of its usage, and the chefs never keep record of what they purchase intially. SO everything is counted from scratch and boy they come in all weird shape and sizes. Description based frm my creative mind, dimensions all remeasured, photos all retaken

Its crazy really. I officially hate seeing GN TRAYS. They have square ones, deep ones, install in walls kind, those with holes, those rusty ones. Different Dimensions and different thickness. And there are so many in the store. Why cant my darling chefs just use it for more misen plus. And these trays come with shelvings that are store in freezers. HELP ME!!

And do you know

These are called robo coupes. They slice meat and vegetables WOW!!!

I have like 3 different brands of electric toasters to toast bread!! FAINTS. Not just electric toasters, also got chaffing dishes, juice dispensers, meat slicing machine. All different brands

SAUCEPANS AND COOK POTS ARE THE WORSE AMONG THE LOT. MIX AND MATCH EVERYTHING

Last Friday, I was out with my family at ECP to eat some crabs. I happen to pass by the kitchen on my way to the washroom and boy stacked at the side was a whole chunk of kitchen equipment, trays and melamine chopsticks and at that instant moment I felt like puking cause I feel I was been transported back to the store agai

BUT TODAY I CAN OFFICIALLY DECLARE THAT ME AND THE BUNCH OF GUYS FINISH RECRODING DOWN THE LIST OF KITCHEN EQUIPMENT INSIDE THE STORE. WITHOUT A DOUBT I HAVETO FOLLOW UP BUT I DONT HAVE TO STAY IN THE DEPRESSING STORE FOR THE WHOLE DAY. ALSO SINCERELY THANKFUL GRADUATION IS THE DAY AFTER. ONE DAY TO BREAK FREE AND RELAX FOR A WHILE.

But before I can go for my pathetic one day break, I got plenty of paper work to follow up. And I still got lunch appointment, a typhoid jab and up your service talk to attend tmr. Packed please. In short treasure your studying days cause working life is very challenging. Thankful for colleagues. They are like the best people in the world sometimes. Also thankful to have the QA uncles as my neightbours. They are so funny since they aer all retirees. One of them is even a gakkai member. How did I know about it. He was talking quite loudly one day on the phone. ” Eh can you come for the kenshu this saturday” So tada thats how I found out! world is small. and in less than 10 hours, I will be back on the island again. More kitchen rubbish

The Bedok Toto Flowtoy

THE FLOWTOYS are here.  HIP HIP HURRAY. I think I must be nuts to spend money just to purchase them but oh well they look so pretty especially when we start spinning them.  Mine is Air and it makes me feel like the last air bender when I spin cause all shades of white and blue are surrounding me. If I have more money, I would love to buy Freedom or Watermelon but as for now, my camera flash, more overseas trip and driving are in priority. I have to stop cabbing to work, they eat up my money like siao. But the benefit is additional 20min sleeep in cab with full blast aircon and no squeezy people to push you in the train. Can someone just chauffer me to work like I am some pampered rich kid. I dont really care.

Been hanging out with different peeps lately. Went to Le Bar with Bizhi, Amanda and Friends Gang yesterday. Ikea Meatballs, Loud Karaoke, 5 cups of whiskey mix. I flush like siao. Tmr night will be with the TPSD grads at the helipad.. Last Friday hang out with pokey at jy hse. Ninento WIIII!!  Tueday went dinner with my family and my ah ma drank starbucks. Awesome!!!

Just now after training, also had a good dialogue about Bedok with Binghan!! Like of all things BEDOK. Its kinda funny cause we were all spinning and we randomly ask each other where we stay. In the end, we realise we live opposite one another. He stay blk 6 whereas for me 19 but we share a common market area and we started to gossip about the people in our market and the generations of store that replace one another. It was quite heartwarming in someway cause it just reminded me of my childhood.Oh well I accidentally found myself a supper buddy hahaha. But I really love my area. Smack in between so many things, very strategic. Now they gonna have a shopping mall here too.Abit …. but ohwell I hope thereis a cinema, which spells midnight shows. BEDOK ROCKS K!!

Lastly, Today I was being schooled in the art of buying toto. Damm cool right. My shifu Debora was giving me a while long conversation on how to buy toto, quick pick system 7 blah blah and tada I decide to just buy and try my luck since they just open a new outletin RWS. Afterall this weekend JACKPOT IS 5 million bucks like come on. Let me win toto which I will use it for many wonderful  purposes.

Oh wells, life is about learning something new each day.  What have you learn today.

P.S ( I learned about toto and spinning poi chi with flowtoy)

Take care adn farewell Jiayu. Enjoy 3 months in America in which you will be over there when you see my comment.

Missy Chan left for Japan last week for 3 months internship. We gonna miss her. But oh well, she is going to enjoy all the hot spring in the world and yeah come back as a much more stronger individual. I sincerely believe in that.   It just dawn upon me that I think not only me but me and my cousin, we have like travel karma. Haha like what a weird karma right.  Ever since I turn 16, nothing good ever happend on my overseas trip. Either things happen when i am overseas or somemajor hoo ha happens and I cannot fly over. Btw, mx context of overseas trip requires an aeroplane. not sentosa or bus trips to malaysia even though I haven been to malaysia in like ages also.

When I went taiwan in 06, it rained like siao ting tong and I kena food poisoning. Subsequently, Disney failed. Maldives failed, Vietnam failed. Thailand Trip this year, I lost my passport. Taiwan grad trip fail again!! So happening right!!

Xinzi one even more pro!! She applied for Outward Bound India, then mumbai kena bomb at the taj mahal hotel. She subsequently change to Australia, kena bushfire.

So I conclude, as long as we travel without family, bad things happen to us.CHOI of course. I shall zi wo an wei that I think too much.

On a brighter note, I finally ate my POPEYES today
