New Office

Today's our first day at the new office on Site.
Site = Construction Site.
Attractions Ops PC were all set up thanks to Boss.
The rest of the team were struggling with cables and wires.

What's so good about having a container office on Site?
Well, to start off... we have Sea View in the Office and at Cafeteria
We have more cubicles. Meaning, more workstation for new faces.
There's a Coffee Machine in the office.
We have our own Restrooms.
A real pantry area with tables and chairs.
And a handful of meeting rooms to have discussions.

Tanjong Beach, Sentosa

Finally after X Months and X Days, we're back at Tanjong Beach doing our girlie talk. It was unexceptionally crowded. Some Beach Fiesta 09 going on. Lotsa volleyball players around wearing the same top. 'Deal with it'?! Lucky for us, we manage to find a 'quiet' spot. Because of the Fiesta, we had free music.

We spend half the time under the tree and shade. It was blazing hot! I din manage to burnt my skin this time. Which, is a good thing... On our way back to the mainland, we met this German guy who came for the Fiesta. Fen thinks he's kinda cute, I beg to differ. LoL.

I reached home just in time for Earth Hour. I spend 1 whole hour in the dark, alone at home. Boo~ it was freaking scary. The only electronic gadget I use during that hour was my mobile. I need to know the time at least! Thankfully there were some temple dragon/lion dance performance in the neighborhood so I had some entertainment to pass the time. Every minute, I had the urge to flick on the lights but I preserver and save the family 1 hour of electrical bill this month. We should do this every month.

We're Moving

I'm gonna miss my table...
Spend some quality time here for a month


Everyone's taking a photo for memory
Haha


And everything into the box.

Work next week onwards will be at the construction site office. More dust, more noise, less peacock noise. At least if we're too stress, we can jump into the sea conveniently. It's just beside our office.

Howl at the moon again

Lotsa candles I see...
Happy counting


Karen and Doug... please dun burn down our office (yet).


Oh yeah....


Watever that means


Hahahhaa...


"THE Dengue"


Awwww...


It was a crazy night...

(Credits: Karen's Cam)

Free food

Oh yeah... we had free food for high tea again.
4 Boxes of pastries and bread.
There were so much leftover we gave them to HR dept.


Ok... back to work.
Signages... *headache*

Howl at the moon?!

Introducing the biggest beer portion served ever.


It's a piano bar? I like the black and white piano they have.
Unfortunately, the people there sit, stand on them.
Poor guys... if I'm rich enough I'll buy you home.


My Boss aka the Birthday Boy was asked to do an Irish dance.


Here's a bunch of crazy people. Very very very crazy people.

Now... why was I there again?

Oooohh, i love the rain. Keep it coming!

Which is worst?

A Weird Person or A Boring Person?
I choose the latter.

Urgh... why the center parting?! Guys... It's 2009!

Writing Manuals is... no joke

I have never been so stuck with one thing for a long time.
It took me 2 weeks to read a Manufacturer Manual of 1 Ride.
It took me 1 week to read SOP, GOP Manuals and edit it.
And there'll be 17 times more of editing the manual. or so my boss says...

Oh yes, I'm talking about work.
Being in an opening team is no joke.
We built alot of things from scratch or
implement alot of things that weren't there before.
And due to that, things get done in a longer time period.

My colleague is having an even harder time completing her assignment.
She had to do an market evaluation, analyst and stuff like that.
With lotsa assumptions and predictions. Very headachy stuff.

Ever since I started working, my life has become very picture-less.
Well, I can't simply go around snapping photos of work stuff.
Confidentiality! I dun wanna get into trouble and lose my ricebowl.
There'll be more colors on this blog once I get to travel.
On that note, be it good news or bad news, flight schedule has changed.
I dun wanna give out any further information till everything is confirm.
But one thing is for sure, which is... I'm going. Just a matter of WHEN!?!?!?

And for my trip, I was instructed to switch to biometric passport.
I applied online last Sat, and my new passport is ready to be picked up.
ICA is becoming very efficient.

2 weeks into my new job.
Things are progressing well.
I was given a chance to sit in for one of the project side meeting.
Discussion with the engineers, manufacturers and programmers.
It was like a school excursion.

First time going into the construction site.
Saw our new office for next month.
The model of Battlestar Galatica Coaster Ride.
Like given an advance crash course of the work my managers are doing.

Next week will be busy... computing all the different infos of the rides.
Getting ready for the 88days trip to Universal Orlando.
Very excited. Very eager to become a pro within the shortest time possible.
103 pages of manual to finish for the weekend.
Till then... I'm looking forward to Monday!

R.I.P Jang Ja Yun

Another suicide from the Korean Entertainment Circle.

Reports has it that it was due to depression.
Her last call was to a friend saying she's very tired and wanted to die.

I guess it kinda grows.
Depression that is.

I remembered in middle school, there was one particular classmate
who really loves attention and always talk about death
Thou everyone thinks she's just trying to steal limelight,
I always worry one day something will go horribly wrong.
So every time she sends 911 signals to me, I'll always respond
be it false alarm or ...

I dun think I can ever afford to lose another one to suicide...

It's too painful to bear. I'll give unconditional love to everyone. So, please stay alive.

Weekends

On friday after work, met up with yin at vivo and head down to Ian's Bday Party.
We set off at about 7pm but only manage to reach our destinations 2 hours later.
Yes... we got lost. In little Sillypore. I've never walked so much in heels before.
My feet were double the size when I got home...



ok... i exaggerated a little.



Saturday night was spent at my boss'.
His place is super-duper-whopper awesome.
Now I'm doubled determine to get a Studio Apartment.
We watched Jurassic Park and drank Red/White Wine or Beer.
Haha... yes. Jurassic Park 1. Talk about Classic Movies.
It was fun.
If I own a place like that, I'll invite my friends over for party everyday!


hmm... maybe not.


Went back to OHS to meet up with Sarah for late night supper and drinks.
