Survival SGW - Week 1

Past few days were absolutely CRAWLERS!!!! Gosh, time really pass damn damn slowly here... More or less 'settled in' but I think i really need a long long time to adjust. V tiring, everyday gotta wake up early and travel to work. So far out of these 5 days, came to work from No.10's place 3 times and my own place twice. Thank god my colleague could give me a ride from my house but i'm really dreading the day i have to take mrt myself - sure kena, coz my colleague is a sales guy or will be on leave! I've not been so awfully punctual since like the 1st day of work haha..

My lunch menu/venue this week:

• Mon - Sun Plaza Foodcourt


• Tue - Had 'welcome breakfast party' so not hungry during lunch... went ard the factories and warehouses within this area to buy (cheaper) CNY goodies! Got many many brands, e.g. a couple of popular bak kwa brands, the indonesia river brand, and many others.


• Wed - Woodlands Shopping Mart (Blk 700+)


• Thu - Sun Plaza Foodcourt


• Fri - In-house canteen.. Found out the food is actually edible!

Just finished playing pool hee... the rest were watching dvd. Now no boss, i wana zao earlier! Am taking leave on wed, coz i found out with horror that almost my whole division will be on leave! I dun wana be alone at this 冷宫!!! I leave you with my seaview...

Happy 牛 Year to All, 身体健康, HUAT 啊!!!!!

Farewell Somerset & Haizzz Senoko

Today's our official first day @ Senoko... came to work from No.10's place, so much much nearer than my own place... my whole journey including walking to mrt station, train ride and shuttle service took about 40 minutes. Haven't tried out how long it takes from my place yet... *Shudders* .. Our shuttle bus is very luxurious and comfy, even for the short 10 mins ride, machiam like those go Genting kind. My colleague jokingly asked if I rem to bring our passport for our trip... When i reached the gates, I was like 'Can someone slap me to tell me i'm really here?'... (-_-)"

Office environment wise, I must say the renovation was quite nicely done, a complete change from what it used to be. Quite warm and cosy...I have my own cube now! Different colours for each divisions; mine's orange. Very Telco. It's quite spacious and I have so much storage space now that I duno what to fill it up with haha! We have a recreation room too... got LCD Tv, dvd player, pool table and the soccer-table (duno wat u call it). The one at the other building (we have 2 buildings) is lagi big! The pantry there is like a mini cafe too... ours is quite small but not too bad too.

My Cube!Recreation Room

So here I am... need sometime to adjust to the transition period ba... just now went to SunPlaza for lunch. We have a canteen in our building but the food is pretty pathetic. Actually new office is ok, just that the travelling time and location si bei sian. Due to the new seating arrangement, we can no longer in front laugh to the back or from the back to the front liao.. And my sisters are in the other building! Also can't meet frens and run errands during lunch time anymore... After work oso no mood and strength to meet in town... Save money lor, now no more shopping after lunch and lunch is somewhat cheaper.. But like I told them... if we long long time never hit town and once we do it, we'll be like freed birds, 一发不可收拾 hee...

Office War Zone

If you haven't heard by now, Yours Truly is gonna be banished to exile very soon, like NEXT Friday... Am moving from posh and ups Somerset to SENOKO... Indescribable sorrow... HAIZ...

With everyone packing at the moment, the whole place looks like a war zone. The aisle beside my cube (mine is the 1st one) became machiam like an obstacle course if you wana walk to the back...

Think of the travelling, ulu and no-shopping-after-lunch days ahead... SI BEI SIAN... will let you see how my new cube looks like in days to come... Eating MacDelivery @ my cube amidst all the mess now. Ke lian...

继续吹娘惹风

Went for lunch with my biggest boss and my 2 姐妹s... He drove us to Keppel Club for peranakan food @ PeraMakan, which was featured on tv before for its desserts. Surprisingly the place was bustled with the lunch crowd even though the club is not accessible-friendly.. seems like everyone caught on the 娘惹风 after the show (not me though, I din watch).

Here's my lunch menu:

Ayam Buah Keluak

Nonya Chap Chye

Nonya Assam Fish

Bakwan Kepiting

Cincalok Omelette

Sago Pudding with Gula Meleka & Fresh Coconut Milk

Verdict: The food is quite nice.. wanted to say 'especially which dish' but I think again, all the dishes I tried are equally nice. For the Ayam Buah Keluak, the ayam (chicken) is nicely flavoured and tender but I don't like the buah keluak, which is like a hard nut and what you eat is the dug out 'mud' inside.. kindda disgusting and the taste is weird. As mentioned, this restaurant was featured on tv for its desserts like chendol (where the green jellies are freshly made), durian puree (made from top grade durians), nonya pancakes with warm banana sauce, etc. Prices are pretty reasonable too... though I don't have to pay... heh

Before leaving the restaurant, saw this lady who was just trying too hard I think... wore a nonya kebaya top with jeans.. trying to look fasionable but so NOT nice.
