Last day of 2020

 

Another 31 December of the year..

Prepare to say goodbye to 2020

And welcome 2021!

This year not much special memories..

As our lives faced with movement restrictions due to covid..

When this covid reaches my country..

I thought it was just going to be another SARS period which will end soon..

Didn't expect it to last n drag till now and no ending foreseen yet due to the second strain of the virus..

Make my 2020 flew bye so much faster than normal..

At first hate it as it disrupts my all along stagnant unchanging 8to5 work-life..

Till getting used to it and now loving it..

It is quite of irony..

This feeling of wanting to maintain my current half wfh and half work at office schedule and the other feeling of wanting this pandemic to end soon

I so in love with this flexibility of working hours..

At my own planning to come office n leave after I done my work fr the day..

No need mingle with my colleagues fr so long hours..

As I can come in diff timing as them..

Ok actually I am quite a loner kind..

I feel mre at ease when I am alone ahahhaah

But in the other hand alot ppl are dying and it just make me feel saddening to see esp those countries without as good hospitalisation facilities as my country..

And ppl are actually left to die..

Hope the vaccine will work effectively against the virus soon..

And economy will not be further impact, people wun be restricted flying overseas..

I want to see the outside world more before I grow old and can't walk ahahaha

This aside,

I hope all of you will take the last few couple of hours to reflect on your life this whole life..

If there happen to be any regrets/unhappiness,

May it be release out frm your heart and

Welcome 2021 with a new empty heart..

Happy birthday to Seventeen Joshua birthday ytd

And happy birthday to my colleague Pearlyn as well as my 31yrs old brother..

May you all will be happier and healthier than this year!!

Lets brace ourselves to brave on the next year once again!

Everybody, you have work hard this year!

Give yourself a pat fr coming this far!!

For we all know living is definitely not an easy task..

Xmas Staycation 2020

First Xmas in Singapore since awhile..

First staycation experience with friend..

Feel new and nice..

Our main objective of this 3days 2night staycation is rest and slp lol!!

Making full use of our hotel rooms..

Glad the TV could see YT and we just watch running man randomly played by YT reccommend list..

Blasting speakers fr music..

Singing along..

Pacing between dreams n reality..

Ahahaha

Drank for the first time in hotel rm..

1bottle unflavoured soju wif 17% alcohol

3bottles of strawberry flavour mocktails with 4.5% alcohol lvl... With some cake as sides..

Wanted to test my alcohol endurance lvl..

Feel Abit giddy and sleepy...

Guess it is start of being tipsy...ahahah

Slept 10pm that night and had a good undisturb slp to 6.30am and prep go dwn breakfast at 7am to avoid the crowds

Went for a walk around our hotel at clarke quay to Chinatown and to fort canning..

Tiring bt quite a new experience..

Eating n window shopping..

And again utilised my powers of strangers approaching me for directions ahahahha

Toldmy friend how I always get help for directions from strangers in the streets..whether in sg or overseas

Strangely when I am most of the time lost ahahahaha

Glad I have my friend to guide them instead on my behalf..

Thanku chinggu

Our Lenu dinner at bugis

And had a GD laugh wif the wallpaper in their store the same looks as one of their staff..

And the noodles taste as gd as before no drop in standards!

Our day 2 breakfast in hotel..

It has been quite a few years I ever had a breakfast in hotel as I had always go for airbnb last few yrs in overseas..

Their breakfast is fabulous! 

Would reccommend others to go for their breakfast in Porta restaurant when u stay at Park hotel Clarke Quay

The queue was not as bad as the review I read online..

As long as you avoid the peak hours at 9am to 10am..

Basically the wait won't be long..

Service was good and we didn't wait long for our food..

Check in process was smooth at the hotel..

Read alot of cases that long queues at other hotel fr staycations..

Expected for the worst bt these feelings was unfound

Though they said check in was 3pm 

We went to chk in at 1plus and was admitted straight..

Had a tarot session first time in my life..

Didn't rly feel any energy when picking the cards like wat my friend mention

However, had fun gg through the session as well as get some guidance..

Spotted a wall art and took some pictures there..

Photos turn out gd..

Rly had fun taking pic..mayb shld get a camera soon..

Enjoy photography!

The most ex meal we ever had..

At jus jungshing

Frgt the name of the restaurant

$226buck for a wagyu bbq..

Ahahha

Bt dun regret it as the beef taste rly gd!!

However I would think twice to go agn ahahaha

Mayb such meal will be gd to be a yrly thing instead...

Ahahab

My Penang kwayteow that I didn't even get to try

First day I actually wanted to eat this..

Bt my friend chose it so I went to get laksa

After trying hers , I am determine to chose kway tow as my breakfast the next morning

However it was not shown in the menu for the next day breakfast..

So I endup chosing buttermilk pancake which nevertheless taste awesome..

However, a lil regret feelings still lingers in my heart...

Had a GD chilling healing time with her  once again

My one n only travel companion

A chinggu that matches well with me

Till we meet each other in the next year!!

 

Merry Xmas 2020

 

Merry Christmas!

And thus year is kind of special

As the customised item seems to be the in thing this year..

Bought a customised thermal bottle wif my name as my Christmas gift this year..

And suddenly thought of also gifting my long time friend clique a customised Christmas gift as well.

Thinking and scrolling the online site..

And came upon customised pens with name engraved to it..

And decide to get it fr us all as a Christmas gift..plus a memorance of our 14th years of friendship..

Knew each other since we were 13 years old and now after welcoming the last bdae of our clique in 2020

We are all 27yrsold

Nostalgia feeling suddenly..

Thought of passing them before Xmas..

Bt a pity , we are all grown ups now and have our own life's to be busy about..

It is rly hard to find a time when all 5 of us are free...

It is Abit irony right?

Not like we are all artists ahahah

Yes once married n have kids or having bf u and with work schedules..

You will understand why our timing always dun match lol!

I had given them all on diff occasions

Left a mum that I failed to meetup wif and dk when will I see her ahahahah.

She had a job which requires shift work and restdays is different every month..

Unlike our normal job which monday to Fri work wkend rest..

And once she off, she need to tc of her kid..

So I already giv up trying to meet her ahahag

Mayb I will get to give her her pen at 2021's Christmas instead 

Lol!!

Christmas is the holiday that I lived most even though I am not christian or neither am I a westerner..

Nothing to do with races or beliefs 

But I jus like the vibes and the weather and the songs of Christmas..

I like cold weather wif soothing music like Christmas carols and I like it that everything is ending and we finally can take a break before needing to start running next year..

Hope everyone out there will enjoy Christmas like I do.

Last bt not least 

MERRY  CHRISTMAS⛄🎄

Happy Early Christmas!!!

 A christmas that feels like my birthday..

Thankyou so much for all the wishes and gifts

I am not really a person who will buy Christmas presents for colleagues..

So all the more thankful for my colleagues who gift me with all these..

♥️

Before I leave...

I would like to wish everybody 

A Happy Merry Christmas

And hope you will spend this time festive holiday to take a short break from daily life

Spend it well

Time to rest and start to say gdbye to this 2020 year of Covid

Hope we will be able to continue to travel overseas nex year end!

Poly clique catch up

With the current covid situation dragging fr a year....

Didn't even realise me and my poly clique haven met for more than a year...

LOL!

A really impromptu sudden msg to hang out..

And the next moment we spent our Friday night together..

We normally have dinner and go hm after on our previous meet ups

But cause this time round we rly didn't meetup fr too long and after dinner

We even went to sit at a cafe and contd chatting till almost midnite before we started heading hm

We dinner at tanjor pagar noodle star house eateries..

Food menus is not alot.. bt quite nice..

My first time.finally tryin tangsukyu

Rly nt bad!

Bt I think chinese ver sweet sour pork is even nicer

I normally dun like kimchi..

Bt their kimchi soup is nt bad..

Mayb the spiciness cover the kimchi taste

Price is affordable. Range bet 10 to 20bucks per mains

Glad that we are still doing fine so far..

And remember of our promise we make jus now!

A trip to junhe hometown after their covid travel restriction!

Till we meet agn nex yr!

 

Early birthday treat

 Went to JP Collins for an early birthday treat fr my bro

31 dec baby makes it difficult fr us to celebrate tgt every yr..

Cos he is forever staying over at friend hse for countdown as well..

So normally we will celebrate his bdae in advance..

The fruit punch is meh~ too sweet fr mebt the buffalo wings is worth for a second try nicee!

 

The steak is nice bt the seasoning is not on par to Outback Steakhouse

Nevertheless the meat is nice

I would suggest those people who normally like fully cook beef, to order medium well instead..

As please take note collins is not a steak house

So medium well to them is well-done already

Unless u want to eat a charred pc of steak

Then go ahead..

Ahahah

The desserts is quite limited alr..

And the one we choose, endup getting informed they are sold out or not available..

So I would suggest dun go collins at JP for desserts.

We order Ben n Jerry cotton candy and informed sold out change to panta pudding they agn say sold out, chocolate lava cake and was agn unavailable..

Was Abit meh~

Bt the service was good, patience and friendly

Even though it was a Sunday nite dinner and given the long queues n packed restaurant

We did nt feel neglected and was not rushed by staff to get us eat fast n get out kind of feeling..

12.12.2020 Solemnization

 

Another special day

Attended a Solemnization of my colleague today..

Small n cosy 

With a small recep with light snack from delifrance

Me and my colleagues

Eye candy in workplace

Recently have a crush on one employee..

Remember my last crush was in secondary school days..10years ago..

But I am feeling quite down..

As being a HR personnel, there seems to be an imaginary border draw between other employees and our dept...due to our jobscope..

Dealing with confidential staff information and we do have some authority over the normal staff..

So I cant even approach him or like getting to know him more like a colleague..

And he is a 1yr contract staff so..yes I may not see him soon...

I wun feel so sad if he is not sitting near me..bt his seat is just right infront of my dept..

As if kip reminding me of my crush on him...

And I am introvert n shy being to begin with...

Don't even have any guy friends..

Suan le..I jus let it bury in my heart and contd be a normal fangirl..

Immersed in 暗恋 is a way long over game for my age..

Given my age now..I shld behave well and earn money for my retirement alone..

Ps: I had make a quiet,crazy promise to myself.. nex year August when he is leaving , if I am the one doing his offboarding n exit interview on his last day...I will confess my feelings to him..so even if rejected..I wun be seeing him again anyway..

Let see if I am still in this company next August..LOL 

And most importantly if my crush on him still remains 8months later.
