Woke up early in the morning to meet Hyewon unnie again! It was a last minute decision before she flies off to Malaysia in the afternoon.
I was damn tired because I went home late from practice at school yesterday but nonetheless I brought Hyewon unnie to have Ya Kun for breakfast at Raffles City!
She loved the eggs and the bread and kaya toast. And can you believe it she actually went on to eat Bibigo right after we finished eating?
How I miss Korea hearing her update me about my Korean friends and teacher and I can't wait to go back!
Awww I'm having all my withdrawal symptoms again. :(
Anyway I headed back to school in the afternoon for practice because today was the performance day!!
So excited for it that I'm gonna write a separate post about it. Hehe.

안년하세요!
13 August 2014, Wednesday
Well that means "Hello" in Korean. Guess what? I met my Korean friend today!!
Hyewon unnie was one of the many friends I met during my four months in Daejeon, South Korea for my OSEP. She is just one year older than me and she is coming to Singapore for a short trip!
Her plane touched down at about noon time but because I was working I could not pick her up from the airport. Thankfully she have tons of Singapore friends too! And most of them are from Nanyang who went for OSEP on batches before me as well.
This friend of her, Weishan, who apparently stays near me too, picked Hyewon unnie from the airport and brought her around till I was supposed to meet her. We agreed to meet at 7pm at Raffles Place mrt, but because Hyewon unnie didn't text me the entire day, I was kinda worried if the meeting would be called off. :/
I tried chatting with her on Kakao Talk and even messaging her but I got no reply. Eventually, while I was on the train with Theresa, she called me with a Singapore number (which I presumed is a passer-by's number) and blurted lots of Korean to me. Because I was underground and the reception was not too good, I couldn't really hear clearly where is she waiting for me. So after blabbering for about 5 minutes on the phone we ended the call. And I prayed hard she would be waiting for me at the exit of the station.
When I arrived at Raffles Place, I searched both levels of the platform but could not find her. I tapped out of the exit and attempted to look for her, but because it was after office hours, it was difficult to spot her. After all, I haven't seen her for more than 6 months.
She was the one who recognized me from afar and I just ran across and hugged her and yelled out "Unnie!!!" Because it was so difficult to find her I'm glad I finally did.
We headed to Lau Pa Sat because she got to know of that place through a documentary and she really wanted to try the satay there. Honestly it was my first time there as well but we managed to get there safely. *achievement unlocked*
As I said it was my first time there, I really didn't know which stall was nice, so we just sat anywhere that was available. That's when the store owners start approaching you. This satay man and three prc guys from a tzechar store hung around just so to ensure we will order from them. So as I was discussing with Hyewon unnie on what she would like to have for dinner, this three prc guys were eavesdropping on our conversation so openly. Lol.
And then he started introducing the dishes on the menu in Korean to us, like crab and vegetables and all. I just nodded my head because I was in the midst of a conversation with Hyewon unnie. After we decided on what we wanna eat, I just turned to the guy and ordered in chinese and then all of a sudden all three of them were staring at me and the first question they asked was, "你会将华语?!" In which I replied, "当然啊我是华人耶." Hahaha they must have though both Hyewon unnie and I were Koreans lolol.
We had dinner and Hyewon unnie was really so amazed and fascinated by the Singapore delicacies because she saw them all before on the documentary. We went to Starbucks after that and sat a while befor eheading to Chinatown!
We walked past this shop selling 麻辣汤 and Hyewon unnie instinctively stopped and turned to look at that shop. She lovesssss 麻辣汤! So we went into the shop and I am so amazed at how she can eat so much even though we just had dinner! And the same drama happens.
When we are discussing on what she wanna eat, the guys in the shop kept gossiping about us in chinese, which I obviously understood. And when I opened my mouth to order in chinese, they looked at both of us in disbelief lol. Enough of this kinda story anyway hahaha.
After which we parted ways *sobs* where she heads back to her hotel in Lavendar and I head back home because I have work tomorrow. She is heading to USS tomorrow with her other group of Singaporean friends!
Just a short catch up with her but it means so much to me! Am so elated to see her again after seven months apart!
And on a side note, damn I miss Korea. :(

Farewells
04 August 2014, Monday
Back to work after a long week break is definitely not something to look forward to.
What's worse is I came across a terrible news.
Mirko, my ex-boss of F&B, has resigned last Friday.
I doubt anyone can understand how I feel really. Almost four years of working with him, yet I don't even know how did we get close/did he appreciate me. Like my colleague said, even though I let him down again and again (at least twice), he still vouches for me and eagerly tries to put in good words for me.
Deciding to leave F&B and join Sales was already a very hard decision, furthermore knowing that Mirko had actually spoke to HM about me transferring department because he wanted me to work for him so badly, made me feel even worse. What better feeling can one get than having your boss appreciate you more than anything else? Its an honour, to have your bosses appreciate you and fight for all your rights.
When Giovanni left a few months back, it was already one round of sorrow and tears. I know people come and go, but they've been really nice to me all these while that I feel so indebted to them. I still find it a pity that I didn't to bid farewell to Giovanni officially. I hope he's doing well somewhere now.
And coming back on a Monday morning to see that even Mirko has left, it suddenly feels like there's no meaning for me to stay in Shang anymore. And I question myself, is he the one who keeps me staying in Shang?
I first heard that he is transferring to Taiwan and his last day would be in mid August, so I was expecting to see him after my leave and was planning to get him a farewell gift too. Had thoughts to buy him a pair of cuff-links which I have never bought for anyone before because that's how important he is to me. And I can't believe he just left like that. I was so heartbroken today that I wasn't myself at work.
Now heartbroken is definitely the right word to use in case anyone out there thinks I'm crazily in love with my boss. When you meet someone nice, you remember them for life. Especially if he gives you chances and chances to prove yourself, despite you disappointing him over and over again.
I'm feeling all the more upset because I know deep inside that we won't ever see each other again. Who am I to keep in contact with him? He may not even remember me. But I strongly believe it remembering everyone that has helped you in your life along the way. Mirko is one of them.
Catching up... With time :/
03 August 2014, Sunday
As the saying goes, "time and tide waits for no man"...
Indeed, time passes so quickly at the blink of an eye. Seven months has passed since I returned back to Singapore after my OSEP trip, but it feels just like yesterday when I was slurping down kimchi soup and shopping away. Nonetheless, I've accepted the face that I'm back in my home country, because the weather proves me so. So freaking hot.
But anyways, cheers to a long weekend for everybody and Selamat Hari Raya to all my muslim friends! Extremely happy because I took a week of leave from work... No specific reasons. Prolly just because I needed a break.
Was planning to travel overseas with my friend (like a getaway or something) but neither of us realized it was the seventh month already so we dropped the entire traveling plan. Not even Malaysia.
My Malaysia relatives were in town Sunday night till Wednesday morning, which is the main reason why I took leave so I could accompany them. We went to Holland Village, East Coast Park for dinner, Gardens by the Bay and few other places with local delicacies, Love spending time with them. Event though we are all over the world (Singapore, Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Korea) for various reasons, I never fail to feel bonded whenever we get together.
So they left on Wednesday morning and honestly I have the urge to travel back with them but no, because it means I gotta take a plane back. *shudders*
Had a dinner session with Emily and Shayne for their birthday and I feel so sorry for never remembering their birthdays although they remember mine (and even gave me so touching presents). So I treated them to Shabu Sai at Orchard Central because one of our ex-colleague is now working there as a manager! So glad to see him after like two years?
Thursday was movie with my friends and dinner and pool. Was doing pretty well at pool this night to my own surprise haha.
Friday was dinner with Miaoqi, Wangwei and Xiuyi after their university workshop session. Glad to be still able to meet up even though everyone is busy with their own activities these days :D
Saturday morning was spent at school having combined practice for CO. Evening time was spent watching the NDP preview with Cedric! Being so patriotic 9 years since I last watched NE show hahaha. Got Starbucks after the show too~
Sunday lunch with Amanda at 313 and catch up session. This babe is my vitamin in my life man, need her to keep me going. Shopping and chit chats session about how fast the two of us are progressing into the cruel society. And talking about dreams and the two un-ambitious us, And sharing our woes. Can't ask for more :)
And that marks the end of my week long break. Definitely not looking forward to returning to work.

Saturday Duties
19 July 2014, Saturday
Its past mid July and seven months into 2014! I can't believe it because it feels like I just came back from Korea yesterday!
Anyway, haven't been updating my blog often recently because 1. work is the same boring shit everyday and 2. I'm really tired everyday to update.
So I'm like reviving this blog because something happened this morning that is worth blogging.
I was sick yesterday so I went to see the doctor and went home early with an MC. I'm on Saturday morning duty this week so I came back in the morning to check my emails and stuff. But honestly there is nothing to be done.
Its my second Saturday duty since I joined and it feels good to be in the office alone (surprisingly) because its really quiet. Quiet for Sales and MICE department but for Reservations, Events and Dining Reservations, they do come back on Saturdays regularly too.
So... The most awkward thing is that the F&B department is just right beside Sales (my ex-department and current department) and what makes it even more awkward is that I can see my ex-boss (EAM of F&B - Mr Mirko Cattini) directly from my seat.
So the last time I stayed till very late in the office (9+ 10pm) and I was all alone, surprisingly my phone rang. If someone is calling my direct line, it has a different ringing tone. So I was wondering who would call me at this hour and it turned out it was "Mirko Cattini" calling. :O
He actually spoke to me over the phone to ask me regarding an email I sent to him. So it was difficult to explain to him over the phone, I simply walked over to his office and spoke to him instead. The feeling of working together is just so special.
That was the first time he ever spoke to me after I joined Sales. I thought he would never speak to me again because he was really upset by the fact that I joined Sales, till the extent he actually went to "complain/scold" Human Resources.
Anyway, it happened a second time when I was doing m first Saturday duty. He called me and I got the same whole surprised feeling again (because no one would call my direct line on a Saturday). You know the feeling of speaking to your boss over the phone? He is not just a boss to me; I;m not afraid of him or what. Its just so nice speaking to him.
And today, it happened for a third time. He called my direct line asking for my DOS' mobile number.
I actually heard the news yesterday that he is leaving in August... And I am really really sad about it. He has been a very nice boss to me over our working span of three years, and he did indeed appreciate me and tried to give me countless opportunities yet I kept rejecting his offers.
Of course, to big bosses like him, they wouldn't remember me for life. They have thousands of people to remember, and I wouldn't be one of them. But I willfully thought I could make a difference.
But nonetheless, I will remember him for life. Shang has gave me too much memories that I can't bear to leave this place. The people here have been so nice to me, despite me making mistakes and doing nonsense and leaving and "betraying" and all.
Words can't express my gratitude to them. And my sorrow that Mirko is leaving.
If only he knew how I felt.

Dinner Get-Together
02 July 2014, Wednesday
It has been more than a month since I blogged and I guess I was really busy that's why. But life still goes on even if I don't blog; I still go to work and home for dinner, meet up with friends occasionally over the weekends.
Caught nypco's annual concert 2014 "Flight of Fantasy" last Friday and it was awesome! Never fail to impress me. Just kinda sad that I am eventually not involved in this production. I mean I could, but I withdrew from it because I didn't have enough time to practice. Looking forward to our next production in August! 열심할게요!
So... This post is not gonna be talking about CO because I know it will be boring for some people. But not for me of course. I still love CO as much as in the past. <3
Wednesday is mid week. So Happy mid-week everyone! I had mine ending off perfectly with a dinner gathering with strangers - yes people whom I am meeting for the first time.
Monday was awesome because I went to Alive Museum with my best friends after work. And Tuesday I had no plans.
Wednesday is awesome because of this particular gathering, which I in fact, have been anticipating for ages since I knew about it. We're having dinner at The Line!
True that throughout four years of me working in Shang, I have been to The Line for umpteen times already (fourteen, to be exact) but I am still not sick of the food. For some reason I feel emotionally attached to that place; it just makes me happy to be there, whether it is as a staff or guest. Booked The Line dinner for 12pax because I was gonna dine with my secondary school friend and his colleagues!
This sec school friend of mine (we shall name him James :P) wasn't particularly close with me during schooling period. We got closer after we graduated, and even after we parted ways after sec school, we kept in contact and I am glad we are still close.
He is currently serving his NS in SPF. Which means all his colleagues are fellow policemen! Hehe kinda exciting for me, a 20-year-old girl, lol. Love social events like this and meeting new friends.
Actually, if not for my staff discount, I wouldn't even be there in the first place... Haha. 50% is too tempting an offer to reject. Therefore I was asked to join them.
James kinda gave me a disclaimer-cum-briefing before we met up haha. He told me about their general ages and characters, and that they were very friendly and open-minded. "But," he followed after, "don't forget we are all policemen so don't try anything funny arh," Hahaha this just cracked me up. xD
I ended work on the dot at 6pm and proceeded to change out of my office attire and not forgetting my favourite heels! It is the pair which I just bought few days back while shopping with Amanda at Charles & Keith. It cost me about $60 but I kinda like it a lot so I bought it. Furthermore, I usually don't consider a lot when I am buying heels. They are my favourite.
Anyway, all in all it was really a fun night and I enjoyed myself. Many thanks to my friend who let me meet his colleagues!
Looking forward to Friday next... Company Retreat to Montigo, Batam!

Farewell Friday :(
16 May 2014, Friday
Its TGIF but not a happy one. Its Stacey and Elisabeth's last day at work today and I'm so gonna miss them. If not for them who always listen to my grumble and forgive my mistakes I wouldn't be here today. Okay I know I'm actually nowhere haha. But still, they were an important part of my work life by guiding me through.
We actually had a farewell (cum-welcome) party on Wednesday already, organized by Christopher. It was quite interesting haha, he started the party by announcing: " New comers please stand on my left, those who are leaving please stand on my right. And those who are planning to leave, please step forward too," Hahaha. Chris is really funny. He can really be nice at times but at others he can be really stern and serious.
And Silvia asked me to do graphs again hahaha. At least this time, I was better at it. Oh and yes I did send Dorothy the completed report haha.
And there was this guy, Mr R, who called me "Hey Jus" over the phone and I was like, "Hi, who is this?"
"I call you Jus you don't recognize me already ah?" Lol. How would I know who are you sia. And not everybody calls me Jus. Lol.
And this lady called from overseas and we had such a hard time communicating because the line was so bad and there is a lag of 1-2 seconds (if you have called overseas and realised) and spelling my email to her was so difficult.... But I did it in the end.
Oh. And I forgot to mention. I was late for work today. Extremely late lol. When I woke up this morning the sky was really bright so I wanted to check my phone for the time but when I clicked the home button it didn't light up, so I figured out it shut down during the night, that's why m alarm didn't ring and I didn't hear the texts and calls. I woke up only at 9.10am!! Sue called me and she was like upset I think cos she was looking for me. Thank god Aswin said there wasn't morning meeting and everyone has gone for a morning conference so not many people know about it. I waited for a cab for 20 mins to no avail so I took the train to work and reached the office at 10.15am lol. I apologized to Silvia but she was laughing at me speechless, "you kiang hor, oversleep so long?" Hahahaha I'm so sorry. It won't happen again.
And Elisabeth was kind of mad at me cos I didn't reply her guest... At times like this I really hate my memory for failing me. But today Amanda told me that shouldn't be a reason/excuse so she suggested I write every single thing down I hear so that I won't forget. Okay I will try and see if it works.
So when I left work slightly late Silvia joked and ask if I'm staying because I came work late, hahaha. And from today onwards I'm taking over Stacey's duties for Silvia. Gosh, wish me luck.
Its TGIF but not a happy one. Its Stacey and Elisabeth's last day at work today and I'm so gonna miss them. If not for them who always listen to my grumble and forgive my mistakes I wouldn't be here today. Okay I know I'm actually nowhere haha.

I woke up only at 9.10am!! Sue called me and she was like upset I think cos she was looking for me. Thank god Aswin said there wasn't morning meeting and everyone has gone for a morning conference so not many people know about it. I waited for a cab for 20 mins to no avail so I took the train to work and reached the office at 10.15am lol. I apologized to Silvia but she was laughing at me speechless, "you kiang hor, oversleep so long?" Hahahaha I'm so sorry. It won't happen again.
And Elisabeth was kind of mad at me cos I didn't reply her guest... At times like this I really hate my memory for failing me. But today Amanda told me that shouldn't be a reason/excuse so she suggested I write every single thing down I hear so that I won't forget. Okay I will try and see if it works.
So when I left work slightly late Silvia joked and ask if I'm staying because I came work late, hahaha. And from today onwards I'm taking over Stacey's duties for Silvia. Gosh, wish me luck.
