essential brew, bad and good news

Last Saturday, I met up with the poly gals for lunch. After some discussions, we decide to head to Holland V's essential brew. It was our 1st time there and I was the one who suggested the place, however it was not up to our expectations. The food was so-so only. I only like the environment because they got this cosy corner where patrons get to sit on the floor. After having our main course, we decide to take some pics.

There is wynne and denise.



This is me and jiahui. We decide to do some funny poses. Haha! Don't we look silly?



Bad news.... My qs colleague has resigned. He got a better job at a main contractor company. Sigh! My efforts for teaching him for the past 4 months have gone down to drain. Don't know whether the next one will be a fresh grad or a experienced person. God bless me.

Good news.... My boss just told me last night that he will sponsor me and dear for a vacation after the completion of the Isetan project. ^_^ He will give me a sponsorship of $3,000! Hehe! I couldn't believe what I heard and I immediately called another colleague and ask her whether my boss is serious about it. She told me if boss wants to give, just take it. Maybe boss just want to show his appreciation for my effort in doing the Isetan project which I have spend quite sometime in preparing the BQ for the client and also doing the tender. So where should we go?

七月初四

Wow is almost 11pm and I am still in office! Why? Because I am waiting for my colleague to finish amending his quote after I have gone through with him just now. Now is already the 7th month of the chinese calendar, so not very wise to go home so late right? But no choice leh, client give us such tight time to submit the quote. On the other hand, I am also rushing for a tender for a 2 storey renovation for Isetan. Hopefully I can finish tomorrow.

Ok 11pm already, need to go home now. Havn't had my dinner yet. -_-

Here is a photo of me and hui that dawn from handmadelove had took for us when we had our portrait drawn.

Last Sunday, I gave another try for the cheesecake. This time round I forget to add sugar. -_- However, it still turns out okay but I still find it a bit cold. Think those baked type tastes much more better.



There are the ingredients needed for the no bake cheesecake



This is my final product. Don't look quite yummy right?

After that, we set off to MAAD at the red dot museum as we wanted to check out the place. MAAD is a place where local designers and artists will showcase their works and sell their stuffs. There is quite a variety of stalls there, ranging from jewellery to bags to handdrawn post cards etc.



At there, we stumble upon handmadelove booth. A few months back I chanced upon her website and intro it to hui. From there on, we have become regular visitors to her website. We loved her drawings! So we got her to draw our portrait for a small fee of 10 bucks.



Very sweet portrait right? Think only me and hui will appreciate because later when I showed it to dear and other friends, they commented that primary school students can draw even better. So sad. I feel that everyone has their own style of drawing. As for handmadelove, hers is more to illustrations type. Anyway I like can already. Hehe! Hui will be adding colours to the picture, will post a pic of it when it is done.

H.I.G.H

H.I.G.H is the name of the lan gaming shop that my bro is working. Just found out from him that the shop was featured in the Ch U show "Internship Challange - 报告老板".



Forward the clip to time 03:50 and you can see him. He is the guy in the beige printed shirt. Haha!

ranting

I am so angry with the new project manager (apm)! He called me in the afternoon...

APM : Can you arrange with the client the timing and quantity of the vinyl tiles to be delivered to site....

Me : Can you call the client and arrange yourself? because I will not know when you want the tiles to be delivered...

APM : hmmm.... ok....

Wau bang! After working in this company for 5 years, I don't know that I need to do these kind of coordination work. If that is included in my scope of work , then what is the project team for? If I were to coordinate all these delivery stuffs, then I will be like the middle man for them. I will be like calling to and fro, passing messenges. Why can't he contact the client himself? Isn't that more convenient and easier for him?

Anyway, I went to tell my lady boss about this. Just want to let her know that such things the project team have to arrange themselves, not me.
