the corporate world
welcome to the corporate world, where
1. relationships do count
2. the important use of 'word of mouth'
3. more PR, recognition
4. work smart not work hard
I wanna be a E.L girl.that's why i so wanted that job. even though i dun wan any help from Sabina who's from there, she still help me to 'sweet talk' to my future boss. (that's how it works) and i am so hopeful to get that job. Even though here might be good as well.
After the weekend, i realise that one has to be
1. Street smart
2. First impression counts, so look good every minute, every second
3. Qualities to show and Quantities to prove
4. Be humble/nice to colleagues and create opportunities

yum! yum!
this week, i went to several nice places for meals.
First was sushi tei. Went with maggie ma, eric tosello, sabina and kelvin.(celine was not ard this time)
It was my choice for japanese yum!yum! and it never fail.
Order for myself a Curry Chicken Katsu Don and it was soooo good. the meat was cooked to prefection. actualli i would love the curry more. Its semi sweet with a hint of spicy-ness, and aroma of the curry is very heart-warming. Along with it, was shredded onions and they are sweet, with carrots and potatos. the rice was pearl-white. very fresh and sprinkle of japanese pickles. love it and must try. a big huge big thou'
Next up was Akashi Japanese resturant. 2nd time this week.
Order this Salmon Teriyaki. The salmon does not carry that fishy smell.
i love the sauce, the pickles and salmon and rice. nice yet not too full.
been loading down my carbo nowadays, try not to intake so much. it was a celebration of Kelvin's bdae and also welcome a new colleague to our big tree.
Third indulge. Friday's combat at Orchard was hilarious.
apparently there's one newbie in the class and he's standing rite in front of the stage. god, i was laughing all the way when i was doing my warm-up. tears nearly flow out from my eyes. cos he was damn funny. all the moves were like hay-wire. ppl turn left, he turn right and all the jabs and cross,* faint.
so me and su went for dinner after that, since i dun feel like gg to novena for combat again. we ate at Royal Copenhagen. Order fish and chips.
Fresh, and succulent. the fish meat does not stick onto the breaded part and the sauce was nice as well. and its not tartar. some green-like sauce i guess. but it was nice lor. now i feel like puking if fish and chips goes with tartar. we order the brownie cake to share as well. but it was abit dry. but i could taste the chocolate is sort of premium. not the usual chocolatety taste.
overall, i like it and i am gg back for their scones.

bosses lunch
Went to bosses for lunch at vivocity again.
Sort of like a 'Thank You' lunch for the team for putting in the effort in the sales meeting F08.
I must reccomend the 'custard bun'. Its so heavenly. Love it when the smooth custard spill out from the bun. The lotus and pork ribs soup was not bad as well, just that it's a bit salty to my liking. Wasabi prawns was also 'out of the world'. Must try!
all courtesy of maggie ma- snr director of m & m
speaking of courtesy..
i win myself a pair of tixs for watch- Sweeney Todd - the demon barber on fleet street.
pretty musical- arty farty and 'odd' i should say.
i am giving it 3 out of 5.
anyway, courtesy of KC. he played the tracks i select last sunday.
was actually a bit overboard lah. cos i ask su_inn to make him play the tracks.
and omigod, he play like 6 of the songs leh. appreciate it all.
make me dun dare to request songs al.
aniwae, cny is coming.
time to get fat- eat chocolates, pineapple tarts, steamboat, and ....gym!

living-leaving
After trying so hard to blend in the group, I decide to give up.
I am letting go…
Those colorful balloons which I held for months, which I thought it’s beautifully attached.
I am letting go…
The fact is, they look amazing-ly surreal in the sky…
