Hi all my dearies, yes I have not been updating my blog regularly & diligently...busy, lazy, or simply bo chap...!!! Pardon me yah!
I can skipped any other days blog, but definitely not this one!
Why lei...hahaha...cos it's a special and memorable day. A day worth mentioning, hence, urging me to pen down my appreciations, gratitudes and thanks to Jojo, Nic, Felin, Siang, Adam, HL, Jean, Beng, Dennis, Eddie and my Dar! Not forgetting special casts - Sylvia Tan & Coreen Ang!
The story went like this...abit lengthy, please bear with me!
30Oct'07, Tues - An impromptu shopping therapy session after work with Sylvia & Coreen.
During dinner, Sylvia told us that her company had given her $100 Fish & Co dining voucher (employee's welfare, I thought), she asked us wanna go have dinner together on Fri to utilise the voucher. Wah lau, since it's free, why not? Moi, being the most innocent person in the world took every word of hers seriously.
No suspicious or whatsoever! Everything was confirmed - date, time & venue!
FYI, my bday is round the corner. We have this surprise bday attack thingy initiated by our dear fren, Jo-san! Since Nov, my bday month is approaching, I was on alert liao! I was waiting...waiting...waiting...till Jo-san told me that Nic & herself are gg to Thai this weekend.
I was thinking, since the mastermind is not in Singapore, perhaps the bday attack is next week.
Thus, I let off my guard. Moreover, I will be attending a orientation by my company, so basically my mind was not switched to alert mode...hahahha!!! As the week passed, I attended my Orientation on Thurs. It was a 2D 1N out of office affair. On Fri, I remembered my appt with Sylvia & frens. I smsed Sylvia to confirm on the dinner and things went as planned.
After the orientation, I took a train to Kembangan cos Ken was picking me from there. He said he wanna go for a haircut, so ok lor! It's pretty normal, only that he was able to knock off earlier than usual. After haircut, we proceeded to Suntec where we were suppose to meet Sylvia & Coreen. We were slightly late, no phone calls from them, I expected them to be late as usual.
Ken & I walked to our destination, Fish & Co @ the basement. I was trying to get the waitress's attention, when I wanted to say "Table for 5"....................................................................................
someone(s) sang the Happy Bday song right at my back. I turned around and saw Felin, Jean, Beng, Siang, Adam, Nic and Jo-san was holding a cupcake with a candle.
I was totally caught off guard. I was like: "How come u guys are here? I'm having dinner with my frens (Sylvia & Coreen) lei!" Jo-san replied: We are your frens lor!!!
Hahahah....moi, being the blur queen, still thinking the free voucher thingy is real. The whole $100 dinner voucher thingy was fake. And the scriptwriter of this whole bday attack was none other than my Dar. I could never guessed that my own frens were involved in this "conspiracy"!
I called Sylvia immediately, she was laughing on the other end of the phone.
Way to go man...buddy!
Can you imagine the huge question mark or exclaimation mark on my face when I saw them?
Nevertheless, they succeeded in planning the bday attack for moi, no words can describe it.
Not the end yet, 好戏在后头.
I was asked to unwrapped my bday present. So I obeyed! ^0^
When I unwrapped, a white & blue box was partially revealed. I was telling the rest: "It looked like a Nokia box"! True enough, it was a Nokia Bluetooth set. (I have casually mentioned to Ken before that if they wanna get me a bday gift, I hope for an Ipod Radio Remote). Though it was not what I have requested, I was contended enough as a Bluetooth set was one of the item I wished to own. However, Jo-san began to say funny things...she was telling Adam (who was incharge of buying the gift), wrong liao lah!
I was pretty puzzled, cos the Bluetooth package was already unsealed. I was thinking maybe they used the Nokia box as a recycled box to put my real bday gift in it.
I opened the box, and it was a real Nokia Bluetooth set inside lei...no gimmicks at all.
Jo-san started asking me whether I like the gift, I said of coz! I have wanted to get one earlier.
When I looked at their faces, they were all like trying to hide something. In the end, I realised actually they wanna buy the Ipod Radio Remote for me, but Adam made a mistake n bought a Nokia Bluetooth instead. Seriously, no matter what they buy for me is secondary, it's the thought that counts mah! Felin even baked cupcakes as my bday cake, realli very touched liao!
Jo-san also baked cookies for moi, what else can I asked for!
Saw the 2 lamb lamb cupcakes? And the letter(s) "P" made up of M&M chocolates.
After dinner, we went to the sky garden @ Suntec to have the lovely cupcakes.
We decided to go for a drink at Kallang KFC.
Here comes Surprise #2:
Make a guess!
To be continued.....wahahhahaha!!! (",)

IT'S FRI...our team bonding day with the Marcom dept.
We will be having team bonding regularly. Every time, it will be with a different dept.
I met my colleagues at Yishun MRT station. I was late, pai seh pai seh! Raymond who was driving, gave us a ride to Safra Yishun, which was about 5-10mins frm MRT.
Upon reaching, we made our way to the shooting range venue. Most of the colleagues were already there. Without further ado, my director started to give a short speech before the team bonding began.
We were divided into 2 grps. We were told to gather into a circle, then stretch our right hands and hold on to another colleague's right hand. Do the same thing with our left hands. By then we were all "tangled" , haha!!! We were supposed to twist n turn ourselves to get out of the mess & form back into a circle without letting go of each other hands. As we have slightly more than 10 in a group, it was already a challenge to hold our right & left hands with another party, needless to say, still need to de-tangle ourselves.
Our team broke further into 2 smaller grps and embark on the task given. At first, it seems impossible, yet we managed to do it!!!! Team work lah!!!
We proceeded to bowling tournament then lunch at Jack's Place.
After lunch, we can't wait to start on the rifle shooting! We were taught by the instructor on how to operate the rifle and how to aim & shoot. It was pretty exciting!
A few rounds later, my arms were aching from carrying the heavy rifle. It was quite a manual chore, but I had fun! It was my 1st attempt!
After the prize giving ceremony and some photo takings, we called it a day.
Some went home, some went karaoke while I went to CT Hall & meet Jojo, Felin & Shaoxing!
We had dinner at Singapore Flying Club (far, far, faraway). This dinner was arranged by Mr Ngern & we were all guessing that he might had a hidden agenda. True enough, he announced that Huiling & himself will be tying the knot in Jan 2008. The annoucement was made, but 女主角 was not at the dinner. So we took this opportunity and grilled SX to tell us how he proposed to HL. Heee...!!!
The groom-to-be with a "yaya papaya" face!
We went to Felin's place after the dinner. HL joined us after her company dinner. So we continued to ask HL on how SX proposed & admired her ring.
Soon, we will be neighbours as they bought a unit opp us. It was definitely a worth transaction whoa! Convenient location, reasonable price & moreover it's newly built.
We are all looking forward to their ROM...haha...getting excited! =P

** July'07 Updates **
2 bdays celebrations, 1 mambo nite & 1 kala kala session!
We have 2 bday boys in July and realli cracking our heads to plan for the surprise as both bdays are like 2 days apart. Eddie's bd on 25th and Nicholas's bd on 27th. We wanted the best out of both world. Thks to the brilliant mastermind, Jo-san for coming up with the idea of killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
We planned to have the surprise on one of the Sundays, which we have our regular exercise regimen. Without arousing any suspicious, we gathered to meet @ the basketball court near my place in the evening. The 1st attack was on Eddie. Felin was to buy a bday cake for Eddie and gave him a surprise while he's playing basketball with the guys (Plan A).
Earlier on, Ken & I bought a bday cake meant for Nicholas and hv it sat in our fridge for the 2nd attack on Nicholas (Plan B).
On 15 July'07, Sunday, all including Nicholas knew about the bday surprise for Eddie. (Nicholas knw nothing about his own bday attk...hiak hiak hiak). The guys proceed with a game of basketball & soccer while Jo & I waited patiently for Felin to arrive wif the cake.
Felin gave us a call & we went to meet her nearby to prepare the candles on the cake.
Jo & I walked ahead of Felin (who's holding the cake), trying to hide the cake out of sight frm Eddie. When we were halfway at the court, Felin lit up all the candles & while approaching the guys, we will sing the Happy Bday song with a cue. Not to mention, Eddie got his bday surprise as planned. He was perspiring frm head to toe while we sang the bday song.
Plan A was rolled out successfully. Yeah!
Plan B was to roll out at my place. Thus, we told Eddie there's a sabotage session for him at our place. The real motive was to surprise Nicholas. So here we go!
The ladies took the lift to my place 1st, so we have ample time to bring out the bday cake & prepare the candles. Jo-san then told Eddie about Plan B which he was clueless about prior to this. So the plan continued smoothly. Nicholas realli tot that we are gg to sabo Eddie at our place, he was walking into our trap as planned...hahaha!!!
While the ladies were at the kitchen preparing the cake (coincidently, Felin & I bought the same cake from the same bakery & it was the same flavour as well), Nicholas & the rest of the guys were coming up. When they stepped into our living room, I was holding the cake and we all started to sing the bday song again. Nicholas not knowing wat's gg on tot we are singing it a 2nd time for Eddie. When he saw everyone was looking at him singing, he finally realised the cake & the song were meant for him. Imagined the look on his face when he was singing the song which he tot was meant for Eddie to when he realised the truth. Realli very comical sia!
I must announced proudly both plans was rolled out successfully and we had a great time laughing! Amidst the tiredness aft the exercise, sweat & minor injuries, it was one of the best bdays attk so far!
Dinner @ nearby hawker & more photos taken by the roadside...anytime, anywhere!!!
We ended the nite with a few games of bowling at Mt Faber Safra.
Verdict: Pleasant surprise for the 2 big boys, hope they have enjoyed the fun!
More to come...CAUTION: Not meant for the weak heart...Hahahah!!!!

Outta the bluzzz...someone suggested to go Mambo, hoping to reminisce their poly times when they rather go Zouk than to study for exams??? Hmm...bad students...heee!!! (Of coz not moi)
Being a super onzzz group, 25 July'07, Wed, we have a date with Mambo...!!!
Though most of us need to work the next day, we've given ourselves valid excuses. It was Eddie's bday & Nicholas's Lunar bday...so got to celebrate again...so lamed...!!! ;)
We had dinner @ the hawker centre & then proceed to Zouk!
Frankly speaking, I have not been into the clubbing scene since dun knw when. Mambo nite...seemed rather unfamiliar yet familiar...wat am I toking man...!!!
When I saw those "youngsters" & one uncle standing at the dance floor grooving to the retro music & doing all the hand gestures for every verse, tell u man...realli wanna roll on the floor & laugh!!! It's realli comical but yet I must say, 我很佩服 them...able to think of all the hand gestures, realli innovative!!! I can't believe it, I was dancing along with them in the end, trying to catch up with their difficult to follow gestures. Well, maybe 我老了!!!
Nevertheless, it was still a memorable nite!
