Easter Sunday

Last night I again slept at only 4 am due to playing Avalon Code... Was close to the end of the game so was really engrossed.

In the afternoon, it suddenly rained very heavily with loud thunder as well. However, it didn't rain for long and it was again very hot after the rain had stopped. Why is it always so hot??

Hot day

Last night was so engrossed in playing Avalon Code that I only went to bed at 4 am :P Woke up near noon time and continued playing Avalon Code throughout the day.

At night, I watched Man U's match against Sunderland. Man U didn't play very well but still won 1-0. It's one step closer to the trophy so keep it up!

The weather is so hot... Shall on the aircon before sleeping to cool the room...

Good Friday

Yay! Today is Good Friday so there is no need to go to work :D I was rather tired so only woke up at around 11 plus. Watched the last episode of "dinner" and latest episode of "Naruto". Also played Candy Crush Saga but was stuck at level 347.

So I decided to play my NDS game "Avalon Code" instead. Haven't played it for a long time and it was fun. Spent almost the whole day playing it :)

It's Thursday!

Today we went to Maxwell for lunch. As tomorrow is a public holiday, 小花 and Ms H decided to meet up with us today instead. We reached Maxwell earlier so we looked for a table first. It was rather crowded and we only managed to get a table after walking round for some time. I had 鱼片面线 as they had run out of 粗米粉. We chatted and ate but it was very hot and we decided to move to another table for desserts.

After work, I met up with 小花 again at VivoCity for dinner. 小花 suggested Texas Chicken and I agreed. I was not very hungry so I only ordered a burger. After dinner, we went to GV to watch "Snitch". It was quite exciting but I thought it was quite ridiculous that a person can be caught with a bag of ecstasy pills with no evidence of wanting to distribute them and be sentenced to a minimum 10 years jail. And his friend just sells him out in order to reduce his own sentence. The laws seem rather unjust...

Lunch @ ION

Today 小花 came to meet me for lunch and we took bus service 175 to ION. We decided to lunch at Food Republic and managed to get a table shortly. The ingredients at the nearby Yong Tau Foo stall looked tempting so we decided to have that for lunch. The food did not disappoint us :)

After lunch, we went to JTB to purchase the rail pass for our Japan trip in Apr. We wanted to buy the Kansai Area Pass and Kansai Thru Pass but the Kansai Thru Pass was out of stock. So we just bought the Kansai Area Pass first. Luckily, the Kansai Thru Pass can still be purchased in Japan if we are unable to buy here.

Candy Crush Saga

Today there was a new update for Candy Crush Saga for Android. However, it was only updated till level 275 whereas the PC version has been updated to level 350. Cannot progress on mobile so can only try to improve scores for the levels that I have passed.

There are still no new episodes of J-dramas yet so shall continue playing Candy Crush Saga then...

Lunch @ Marina Square

Today we went to Marina Square to have lunch with our ex-colleagues Ms F and Mr T. We decided on Swensen's as there was lunch promotion of a free side dish for each main course. We ordered different side dishes to share but there was too much food so there was some leftovers. We chatted while eating and time passed very quickly. We were very full so we decided to walk Ms F and Mr T back to their office at Millenia Tower before walking back to Marina Square to take Ms I's car back to our office. Good to have met up with them as we have not seen them since they left the company.

J-drama songs

Didn't really want to start watching any shows so decided to look for the theme songs of this season's J-dramas. Managed to find most of them :) Think I should also update the songs in my mp3 player, though I have not really listened to it in a while as the ear piece somehow do not fit very well and the MRT is always so noisy...

J-dramas

Today I spent the whole day watching J-dramas. Managed to finish/be up to date on the dramas that I wanted to watch, so now just have to see which ones to continue after only watching the first episode.

Took a look at the upcoming dramas next season. Seems like there would be quite a few detective shows. Some of the other synopsis seemed interesting as well but would have to wait until I have watched the actual show before deciding whether to continue.

TGIF!

Today we went to VivoCity for lunch. We actually wanted to lunch at Ajisen but there were no seats available so we went to Crystal Jade Jiang Nan instead. We ordered a bowl of ramen each and luckily all of us ordered the half bowl as it was very filling. We also ordered rice cake and xiao long bao to share.

After work, I met up with 小花 and we went to Long John Silver's for dinner. We then proceeded to watch The Croods. It was very hilarious and we totally enjoyed the show. Towards the end, there were also some touching scenes and I felt that it was a very nice show overall :)

Lunch @ West Coast Plaza

Today we went to West Coast Plaza for lunch. Actually we wanted to eat at the cheap but good Curry Fish Head stall but there was a notice stating that they had a "kitchen mishap" and had to renovate the kitchen so would only be open from next week. So we went to a new stall nearby that sells Penang food. The food was quite good and reasonably-priced as well, just that some of the food was a bit too salty. We were all very full as we ordered quite a number of dishes to share.

Cute!

Today Ms I returned to work after her trip to Korea. She bought us some snacks as well as a souvenir each. They are so cute! Can you guess what they are??



The answer is "hand cream"!  Mine is the green one \^^/  すごくかわいいでしょう? :D

SAP

Today Ms L, Ms M and I had a SAP training session. Ms L and I have to back up Ms M when she goes on leave so we had to learn how to input orders in SAP. Ms M was there just to have a refresher as certain fields that she used to input in the past might not be relevant anymore.

We spent almost 2 hours but only managed to go through the sales order portion. Will have another session tomorrow for the purchase order portion. Good to learn new things :)

Shirota Yu

Haven't checked Shirota's website for quite some time and was pleasantly surprised to see that it had a revamp. Think it looks much neater and easier to navigate now :)

Kinda missed his singing so went to checked out Youtube and found this video. Still like his voice... Think I should take out his CDs and listen to them again :)

15 points lead

Man U won the match 1-0 this morning... Not a great performance but the result was the most important. Man City lost their match last night so now Man U have a 15 points lead in the title race. Hope Man U will be able to win the title this season.

Lazed around at home again... Sian... Have to go to work tomorrow :(

J-dramas website

Today stayed at home as usual to watch my J-dramas and anime. Thought that the Qire website has changed address but it seemed like the old address was still accessible. However, some new episodes can't seem to be found even though the main page stated that there were updates. Anyway, I found another website that looked very similar to the Qire one... Wonder if they are related??

Shall watch Man U vs Reading match at 1.30am later. Why does it have to be so late again??

Oz: The Great and Powerful

Today, 小花 came to meet us for lunch. Ms M actually wanted to have lunch at Wang cafe at ARC but it was very crowded so we went to Local+ instead. We ate and chatted then proceeded to Burger King for sundae. After that we went back to work while 小花 went to VivoCity to shop.

After work, I went to meet up with 小花. We went to buy sushi at Giant before going to the cinema. We were watching Oz: The Great and Powerful today. It was a very entertaining show with some funny scenes in between. It made me want to re-read all the books that I had read when I was young as I realized that I have almost forgotten the stories.

Dozed off

Today I attended a Legal and Compliance training session. Actually I have already attended previously but Ms L said it was good to refresh again. However, think I dozed off for more than half the time :P  Just can't seem to stay awake at such sessions...

No J-dramas :(

Seems like qire site is down for maintenance today... Unable to access it to check if there are any new J-drama episodes :(  Hopefully it will be restored soon...

Feeling tired so shall sleep earlier today...

It's Tuesday...

Today there was a townhall before our weekly buffet lunch. The townhall was supposed to be from 11.30am - 12.30pm, but due to some speakers taking their own sweet time during their speeches, it ended almost at 1pm. Almost fell asleep during the boring and monotonous speeches...

Tried taking bus 188 home today. However, it took longer than if I had taken MRT, though I could have a seat throughout my journey. Think taking bus 97 would be better as I would have a seat as well, just that have to squeeze in the MRT at Jurong East.

Monday Blues

Sigh... Man U could only draw in the FA Cup match against Chelsea. That means they would have to replay the match but this time at Chelsea's stadium. Why can't Man U just hold on to their two goal lead??

Still stuck at level 290 in Candy Crush Saga... Unable to try at work as the mobile version is still not updated yet :(

Sunday, March 10, 2013

ONIS

So fast it's Sunday again... Today also stayed at home and do my usual stuff... Think I'm such a boring person...

Man U will be playing in the FA Cup match against Chelsea later at 12.30am. Can't watch again as have to work tomorrow... Why can't the match be scheduled at an earlier time??

Nothing special

It's Saturday again and I stayed home as usual. Continued with my anime and J-drama and played Neopets and Candy Crush Saga. Nothing special at all....

No movies

Today we went to The Star Vista for lunch at The Manhattan Fish Market. Met up with a few colleagues who were on garden leave, and we ate and chatted for about 2 hours before going back to office.

Not watching movies tonight as the seats were either not very good for the show that we wanted to watch, or the ticket price was higher due to the new Atmos sound system. Shall try again next week...

Tired...

Today I reached home at around 7.45pm. Played Neopets while waiting for my mum and sis to shower before having dinner. However, I was so tired that I just dozed off in my chair. It was only when my mum came up to my room to wake me up that I realized that I had fallen asleep. She said that she had been calling me to have dinner since the start and I still did not go down even after she had finished her dinner so she came up to have a look.

Shall try to sleep earlier tonight...

Man U lost :(

So sad... Man U lost the match against Real Madrid :(  Read that the turning point was when Nani was shown a controversial red card, which left Man U with only 10 players for the last half an hour of the match. Too bad we would never know whether Man U would have won if it was 11 against 11 for the full match...

Since the new colleagues came, there has been drama in the office almost every day. Wonder how long this will last...

Tuesday, March 5, 2013

頑張って!!!

Man U will be playing Real Madrid in the Champions League match early tomorrow morning. Too bad I have to work tomorrow so unable to watch the match live :(  Really hope that Man U can perform well and win the match... 頑張ってください!

Shall sleep early tonight so that time will pass quickly and I will be able to know the result once I wake up :P

ION Orchard

Today Ms L wanted to buy JR Pass for her upcoming Japan trip so we went to ION Orchard. We had lunch at 4 Fingers Crispy Chicken first. It was my first time eating this and it tasted quite good. The chicken wings and drumlets were very crispy and not too oily. 

After lunch, we proceeded to the nearby JTB for Ms L to buy her JR Pass. There was no queue so it did not take long to buy the pass. I also inquired whether we were allowed to purchase both the JR West pass as well as the Kansai Thru Pass. Glad that we could so that we could plan our itinerary to make full use of both passes.

Man U won!

Yay! Man U won the match against Norwich \^^/  Was pleased for Kagawa for scoring a hat trick, as well as for Rooney for the nice goal. Now will hope that Man U will win against Real Madrid in the upcoming Champions League match :D

Today I continued watching the J-dramas and playing Candy Crush Saga and Neopets. Think my weekends are always just for me to catch up on my sleep and relax. Don't feel like going out at all.

The weather seemed to be getting warmer these few days. Hoping for a heavy rain at night to cool down the temperature...

Lazing around

Today I just stayed at home and lazed around. Had quite a number of J-dramas to catch up so spent the day watching them.

I also played Candy Crush Saga. Now can only play on my desktop as I have reached the maximum level released on the mobile app, so it is taking longer to clear the levels.

Shall watch the Man U vs Norwich match at 11 pm. Hope Man U wins! :D

TGIF

Today we went to meet 小花 and Ms H at VivoCity for lunch. Ms M had a craving for ramen so we went to Ajisen. Most of us ordered the Spicy Cha Shu Ramen which comes with a side dish and drink for the lunch set. We shared the different side dishes and chatted while eating.

After work, I went to meet up with 小花 for dinner before proceeding to the cinema for our movie. We watched Jack the Giant Slayer and it was an entertaining show. There were plenty of action as well as funny scenes and we enjoyed it.

So fast that it's already March now...
