Little Random Details About Me

My whole family went on a grocery cum eating trip to JB on sat. I'm glad my dad drove. I dun really lk taking the public transport. I always think it's so hot! heh. However, we got lost coz my dad wanted to try out some route. And, the wierd thing is, the ppl in JB duno their way ard.. we had to ask a couple of ppl before reaching our destination. Well, the map only helped in some way coz if u were to be lost in some small roads, the map is kindda useless. 1st stop: Shopping and lunch This's a pretty new shopping centre, been here a couple of times by bus. It's lk our Singapore Vivo City, probably bigger. They have all the brands we have and the good thing...I dun have to pay when i shop here coz it's on daddy's expense! hah. Oh.. if anyone din noe, buying contact lens in malaysia is soo cheap. Think i'm going in to make specs even. The supermarket is huge too. I think we spent hrs in the supermarket haha. Stop 2: Dinner Did not really go to the seafood plac...

Seriously, i'm not the only one who agrees tt working in my co., will make one fat. I'm snacking every hr while typing away in front of my comp. Brought this guy called Yars to China Town food st. to explore Singapore food. He's from the Citco Sydney office and will only be here for 1 week. I love my co. ppl. Everyone's from all over the world. Until now, i'm still meeting new ppl. Did not take much pics coz everyone was too busy stuffing themself with food. So i juz randomly took some shots haha. Sorry to those who r not in the pics! (though i'm on "diet" hah.. i still had stomach for my favvvvvvv tangyuans)

Sent ru and char off at the airport on sunday. ( It's so wierd seeing all the parents cry haha my parents and i said bye so happily the last time i left.. hmm.. i'm starting to feel i'm not being loved as much hah) Bye my friends.. i realised i've no more friendssss... boohooooo. So sad.. no more shopping kakhis and ppl who i can msg whenever i'm feeling bored. Have fun guys.. take care!! p/s: Su, if u're reading this, hope u're having lots of fun over there haha.. dun worry abt doing shit work, it's a matter of getting use to =)

Celebrated all the May babies birthday on Friday night at sushi teh. Yummy~~ I loveee the food at sushi tei! Sheryl's pressie was a photo frame tt says "circle of friends". This got me digging up for photos of us to put in the frame. well these r the pics i found.. awww.. it feels so nice looking at them.

I think time passes quite fast in the office, which is a good thing. I'm juz stopping to wonder, does life juz revolve ard work, going out after work and weekends? hmm.. something seems to be missing! ( Penny, now i know y u always have those wierd entries abt life hah. anyway. wat's with flowers and May 15? ) Had lunch with irritating evan today. (wat's up with u and ur friendshits man. suddenly sooo into friendshit with gals hurhur...it's ok noe.. dun have to share with me so much lol) However, I must say I lk to have lunch with this person. I dun have to think of where to go!! (it's so sian when ppl ask me where i wan go and eat. if i have something in mind i'll confirm say!) He always noe where to go and i dun have to go to the superrrrr hot Golden shoe market!. *pat on the back evan* p/s: I'm not the only lost one ard k! so stop shaking ur head at me. glen teo is as lost, in fact, worst i think hahaha

As the director would be arriving from Sdyney tmr, things in the office started to look even more posh hah. Our new coffee machine arrived today and it makes gourmet coffee. Funky machine! We even had 5 mins of briefing on how to operate it hhaha. All of us sua-kus were fascinated. I think the sachets of coffee (on the right hand side, in the box) r so cool. We can juz put it in the machine directly. Different colour represents diff types of coffee. Even the fruit basket never looked better. We have peaches, plum, jumbu, apples, pears, u name it... Lastly, my 2nd fav part besides the temporary pantry, is the toilet. We have Molten Brown and Crab Tree & Evelyn products on a tray in each toilet. Our HR personel kept reminding us to use them coz she loves it hahaha.

Work's treating me great so far but I was still looking forward to the weekends =) Oh oh... peeps, Guess how my weekend started? I went Yio Chu Kang! *Surprise surprise* I went off my bugis diameter k. I think work has made me a little cranky haha i actually went all the way to YCK with Evan to his house to get his car. Oh well saw his "so-called hamster hole". (Dude, if tt's a hamster hole, mine is... can't even find a word man. But jacyn exaggerate la! wat mansion hahah) But it was nice going there actually. Did i mention before i loveee viewing this kind of neighbourhood. Last time i use to ask ppl drive around when i'm free juz to c the houses. So off we went on a scary ride down to pick Bryan up. I muz say this person is a terror driving. I was so worried for my dear life in his car. (I know ur car can go very fast but this's singapore road uncle!) Anyway greenwood ave (if i rememeber correctly) is quite an awesome place. (Su, i think it's the pla...

All tt food is making me spoilt! My co.'s treating us pretty well at least for this week. First was lunch at Dome on Monday. I like Dome. I always think the food's not bad. Today, was at Pierside Kitchen & Bar at One Fullerton. I like the sort of fine dining concept. Well the place's not where locals hangout, there's only ang mos there la! The pics dun really do much justice coz i snapped them pretty fast. Later they think i mountain tortise haha but the food all looked so good i juz had to snap them. The appetizer, juz some greens and brinjal, cost 18bucks can! I always wonder y salads r so x. Maybe evan should explain to me one day since u're always ordering salads. The wine we had were good too. I realised the ang mo loveee their drinks. They wanted to drink at lk 530pm. But we brought them to TCC for coffee instead haha. yeah! i'm looking forward to more drinks on Fri! This's how my desk look lk. The office is bascially look abt the same. Very spacio...

Not too bad for the 1st day. Management level Ppl were very nice but ppl of my level were generally abit serious esp. the 2 who were not fresh grads. AND there's only 1 guy in the entire office! The next one coming in would be the director, flying in from Sydney. Gosh.. Never felt tt men were so scarce hah poor guy, he told me he felt abit odd. Well there's 2 more vacancies available.. who's looking for jobs?? Mel will only help if u're a guy though hahah kidding!

There's an intended pun to crazy. Crazy as in quite a fun night and also going crazy because of my friend. It was suppose to be gal's night out with sec sch friends. Ppl i meet almost annually BUT as usual the ever busy gal couldn't make it at the last min and do not have the courtesy to inform until one of us rang her. I mean wat's up man.. i dun care if u're reading this but i muz say tt wasn't very nice of u. I feel angry coz i care abt our friendship. I do not dare say i always turn up for gatherings coz i'm crowned the pang seh queen. But i pioritize and i think i do care abt our friendship so much tt i deserve something better. In any case, i would still lk to wish u a safe journey to China. Well the night started with dinner at New Aisa Bar... Music was good but... the crowd hahah 2 ah pek (lk the really old kind) turned me so off i ran back to our table. Also, met up for the first time with dearest Penny's ex UOB colleagues. They were a fun lot. ...

Who would have known u'll been online watching movies til 5am in the morning and i've so happen to wake up and bump into u and be greeted with good morning. How would I expect to be woken up by a msg from a manager in UBS asking me if i would like to join her team. There's so many "how would I know" in life. (Anyway, tt was just random "how-would-I-know" that come to my mind at this moment) I've been watching Sex and the City and some stuff just got me thinking. I do think abt stuff k ppl. (i'm not a bimbo and I can nv be one.) Well I really do think everything's abt timing and once we meet the right ppl and do the right things at the right time, Viola! ok i think it's the starting work syndrome. (mind u ppl, not everything i think abt is abt guys haha) Anyway, everyone has been telling me how sian they are, how apprehensive. STOP IT! I haven started and i'm going there with a positive outlook! Wish me luck peeps =) *** Anyway, check...

The free-er i get, the lazier i get. I'm even lazy to blog now hah. Well, I have not reached the " i'm-bored-to-tears" stage yet. (Maybe tt's coz I know i've only 2 weeks of this lifestyle) I loveee being free. I love slacking at home watching my shows, meeting friends for brunch, lunch, high-tea, dinner. (Stupid Han.. said tt i'm forever eating... I love eating wat! cannot mehhhh) Among the many meet ups this week, much inspirations for this entry came from meeting my ex Manpower colleagues. One person missing- Raji, an indian gal. Singapore really spells racial harmony. It's usually only me, Han (chinese), fas (malay) and Raji (indian). Though we hardly see each other, We juz get along and they're super funny peeps. Words to Val : Quick have a baby!! hah U've already been my 1st friend to get married. make it the 1st to have a baby too =) Words to Mr Han : Ehhh quick find gf and ur turn to get married... heh.. *** A walk down memory lane agai...

Ok i'm ready with all the pics!! i've counted.. a whopping total of 441! So here r the selected few. Day 1: Took a bus from HK airport, in search for our budget hotel. The moment i opened the rm door, i got a shock of my life. I was literally stunned for a moment. Well, we put down our stuff and off we went in search of food and SHOPPING! We din stay at our hotel for the first night. We took off all make up, tied our hair up and Off we went in a super unglam look to Shenzhen for a spa. It was awesomeee... abt $40, i was treated lk a princess, slept well, ate well, had full body message. Sorry peeps, no pics taken in the spa.. hurhur. Day 2: Bye bye SPA. Had dim sum at shenzhen.. not bad.. quite cheap too. Headed to Mok kok to shop and eat somemore after returning to HK. The evening was spent at Happy Valley. We went to watch horse racing! Sheryl & Faith won about 50HKD each, i only won 50cents hahah after deducting the amt i spent to buy and Jacyn lost. Day 3: Off to Stan...

Hey peeepssss i'm back from HK =) I loveeee HK. 1 must do in hk is CLUBBING! pls go to the club called sugar. The guys r freakinggggggggg cute. Not kidding. Never seen so many cute guys congregated in one area before. We were literally drooling the entire night! Anyway, i've so many pics, i need time to sort them out. I think there's almost 300 pics or more hahah. Today was also bryan's birthday celebration! I love meeting up with all. so fun!

I ran 8k todayyyy ok actually i think i walked 1/3. But i completed it k! muz say i'm impressed with myself. I've nvvvv ran so much before! All thanx to Evan goh, who gave me a shock of my life when he pulled his car by pierce reservior, together with a grp of Citibankers. Side track: Evan's friend is a model!! super cute haha Well he can really run.. 2 rounds.. 16k. My idol.....awwwwwwwww..... So there we go... mel's face almost turn white when Mr cutie says the route is 8k. Running with a bunch of guys and 1 other melissa (who is lk the top3 runners in citibank), scares me. Mel can't run for nuts. Fortunately, it wasn't tt bad. Take comfort i wasn't last.. but a 50 odd age uncle runs faster then me sigh... (another big shot in citibank) but he was quite NICE to talk to ( i can sooo c evan sniggering at me for using niceee to describe ppl ). That's abt it.. the tired mel is going to sleep i think. i feel skinnier hahah ( my own mind playing tricks on me...

Last 2 daysss... concentrate concentrate concentrate!!! Good luck to all my dear friends who still have a slightly longer distance to complete. Jia You!!!

4 more days to IB paper followed by corp reporting. I kindda realised it's going to be real fast. My ex-colleague juz asked if i'm going to be done with sch yet.. i was lk "yeah.. by sat, i'm totally done with sch.. can't wait!". Once exams r done, it's followed by HK then.. work.... It juz donned on me tt work means work now. No more just a few months of something different then back to the usual. (I'm refering to things lk internship.. or hols break.. then back to sch again. Sch's like my usual life). My usual life is going to change . It's going to be revolving around work and no longer sch. I'm going to be stuck with the same co. unlike school where at least i noe i'll be stuck for only 4 years til graduation. Unless i decide to jump or something, it'll be the same co. Sounds scary? Not sure... time do pass quite quickly. Actually I'm a person who enjoys routine though complain abt being bored. I don't c myself stepping ...

no mood no mood no mood........ no mood to study at all! the 1 week study break is ending.. exam week next week. Yikes! Wish me luck ppl. Can't wait for HK =) Anyway, i've signed the contract. yes.. i'm starting work sooon.. May 7th.

I've sooo many things to blog about recently! First up on the list... Reason why i always take pic of this cousin- She lovesss the camera as much as I do. Never fail to pose whenever a camera is in sight =) *** 2nd thing on the list... some classic pics taken so far.. hah don't u guys love it? Venue with courtesy of Holland V's Coffee Club *** 3rd thing on the list... Faith found the SPA place in Shenzhen!!! yipeee we're all heading to shenzhen on the first day we touch down at HK after checking in. Apparently it's a cheap and good SPA place where ppl can stay over night for free. I'm sooo going to get myself pampered. Neever been to a SPA before =) I can so feel the tai tai vibes in me. Wish me luck. It's my calling. Maybe i'll get to hook up with some rich man ( dreaming when it's only in the afternoon )
