It's been a week since I last blog. Well, life is just as boring as before. Work, work and work. Then after that weekend go for band. The routine goes the same every week. Anything fresh coming? Haha.
Last week was a busy week at work as my foreign client came over to Singapore again after their Vietnam trip. Meet up with Mr. Andersson (whom my colleague all regard him as my godfather) on monday night at around 7.45pm at their Hotel Lobby - Hotel Royal @ Queen's. At the touch ground only at around 6.15pm and reached hotel shortly before we reached to fetch them, me and my colleague Aaron decided to treat them for dinner at Newton Circus as they claim they wanted to have Asian Food.
Ordered Yuan Yang Stingray, Oyster Omelette, Mutton Satay, Nasi Goreng, Fried Carrot Cake (Black & White), beer for my client, lime juice for me and sugar cane with lemon for my colleague. Glad that my goodfather love the stingray and satay. Haha.
After meal, godfather proceeded on the ask my colleague on the query he have on our products and I started entertaining godfather's friend -- Mr. Andrews. Haha. Nice chap as well. Too bad he is old enough to be my father, wahaha.. if not.. Hmm.. Wahaha.. Kidding la.
After that, send them back to their hotel and I went home then. As Mr. Andersson would like to pay for some of the things that he would like to purchase back home, he would like to visit my office the next day and make the payment as well in our office using his credit card.
Eating at Newton Circus certainly brings back so much fond memories. Still remembered back then when I was still in Poly, me, Geraldine, Ah Tom, ZS sneak out from band to attend a gatehring with Geraldine & ZS's fellow music teachers to have supper and drink at night after practice (during one of our camp). Haha. It was so fun la. but blur Geraldine lost her purse and make up set in the cab when we were on the way to Millenia Walk for a drink at Paulener. Haha. But that drinking session was certainly a fun one. Although we don't really know each other that well, but we do mix around well. Think they are good at mixing with kids like us back them. Wahaha.
Alright, back to subject. Tuesday I swap vehicle with Aaron as I need to fetch my godfather to office in the afternoon, and thought his friend will be coming along and the van is not a very nice vehicle to transport them over, thus the swap. Later did i know that only Mr. Andersson is coming. Drove him to office and proceed with all the products settling and all before driving him back to hotel (using my van). Before reaching the hotel, I send Mr. Andersson to a nearby photo centre to develop his pictures before he fly back. As well, I told him about the roti prata shop that they could have dinner at before heading to airport since Mr. Andrews like it so much.
Well, hope Mr. Andersson and friends had a fun time in Singapore. That's so much that we can do.
After sending Mr. Andersson back to hotel, I headed to Vivocity to meet up with Jacqueline and ZS for the Ponyo The Cliff by the Sea. Had "The Mussel Guy" for dinner before the show. I had a super creamy mushroomy meal with all the mushroom and cream, but worth the price as it really fills my stomach knowing I didn't have any food for the day.
I find the show so-so only. Nothing that surprising. But I do realise that the evil people in the show looks the same as that of the Howl's Moving Castle and all the other anime. Haha. Only a change in dressing and hairstyle. Wahaha. Damn funny la. Somone sitting beside me doze off in the middle of the show. When the little Ponyo gal sleep and snores, he snores too. So paiseh. Hurried wake him up to prevent him from snoring even louder.
Wednesday, I was suppose to go to my client place to teach them on how to use the new access control system which they can't understand my colleague (the china guys) language. I managed to only reach there at 6pm as I went for appointment with my tortise boss in the afternoon to 3 location, which drags till like near to 4pm before I finally reach office.
by the time i reach my client place, the person in-charge has left. So angry. I fly car there loh and she never even inform that she is leaving. The most angry part is, when I reach there, there is this lady shouting out from the room saying "I thought the secuirty people should come today. Why never come. What service is this? I am not going to pay for the job.", and I was with one of her colleague outside getting the contact number of the person in-charge, and he told her "I am with the security person now and she is beside me". I wanted to laugh for once when she kinda got emberrased and kept quiet. This is a lesson for this type of people, don't accuse people when you haven't confirm the outcome yet. If not you will disgrace yourself. It's her luck that I never went in to talk to her and see how she looks like.
So no choice I have to go back the next day morning to commence the training to them again. Did the training and collected the cheque from them and headed back to office.
After that headed to Harbour Front Centre Homefix after they called to check on the delivery status for their replenished stocks. Checked with Delivery Vincent and they were busy that day and can't help me to delivery the goods, so I have to delivery it to them myself as they need it urgently (no more to sell).
Thinking of having lunch with ZS since he work somewhere around there, so MSN him to check if he is interested. He mention ok but don't know what time is his lunch. So I told him when I reach there then sms / call him. So I reached there at around 1.30pm and done my stuff, so I smsed him to see if he had his lunch already (I know he had already without me asking also). And yes, he did have his lunch and was just back to office. I was so pissed with him even I knew that he will be having the lunch before I text him because he should have informed me in advanced that he can't have the lunch with me. You said ok when someone asked you for lunch and later on didn't inform that you can't have lunch with the person and back out. This is not right, total.
I was very angry (even though I didn't reflect it on my text message to him) and went to look for one of my favourite food to eat -- PASTAMANIA. And sadly, the Pastamania also bully me. It's not as nice as before already. Previously I always eat Bacon Aglio Olio coz he ate it and it will always brings me the great memories. Now, even the Bacon Aglio Olio changed taste already, and the bacon is no long NICE anymore. Does that means everything is coming to an end? Argh~~ I hate that feeling.
Went back to office to continue with all the jobs and everything before heading back home.
Nothing much happen on Thursday and Friday, just more and more quotation to do, more and more calls to return.
Finally I manage to return all the called by Friday and I got to be a bit more relax on Friday and tortise boss as me to go appointment with him.
Saturday, I was so blur that I forget to bring my laptop to work and only realise it when i am reaching office. Luckily I have a desktop beside my table which I previously use which I can use to generate quotation, but certainly it's handicap la.
After that went to Marina Square to re-arrange the products at our booth and then went for band after that. Band was quite ok (but attendance was not as fantastic as the week before). After band, I headed back home as Meiting have to go meet client, the rest goes their own way and I have no where to go.
After I reached home, mum asked me to drive them to dinner, so I did. Dad didn't follow as he met an accident and had to have a discussion with the hirer at the nearby coffeeshop. My dad is always so bad luck. Whenever Chinese New Year is coming, he will meet up with accident and have to pay other people money. Dad, drive safely next time.
Sunday was my sleeping day, so I woke up onl at 11.30am and started watching my "Hot Shot" show that was running on the DVD recorder. Haha. So nice, especially Show and Jerry, they are so funny. Makes me like them so much out of a sudden.
After that headed for shopping at Marina Square cum Suntec City with Meiting and Shiting. I bought quite some stuff. Cosmetic for myself anf my mum, a new heel for my new year (now I found my new year shoe, I need to source for clothings to match the shoe, stressed~). Also went to buy a slipper for my mum and dad which they like to wear a lot as it's not slippery. Hee.
Reached home at around 11pm, bath and sleep early at around 12mn.
Today was back to work again, and the phone ring non-stop la. Argh~~ irritating. Today'd call was considered not too bad, and a quite a few appointments made today and almost filled the week with appointments already.
Will be having a BBQ session this Friday in office again. Hope I'll get to eat the Otah that I missed the last time round. Hee.
New Year's coming, soon to make new year resolutions lo. Haha.
Alright, enough of resting and back to work liao. And my back is starting to feel the soreness again. Argh. Old lady liao~
love goes around | 4:49 PM
