genting trip

probably a short post cos there's really nothing much to blog about.

xmas eve - lucky us got a brand new coach with front seats. plenty of leg room!

see i can stretch all the way out! lols. (we got the same coach with the same seats for the journey back. shiok!)

xmas day - reached at 3plus. freaking cold! shivered all the way from bus interchange to lobby. must be the raining season. and guess what? lobby was packed. in the middle of the night. yayness.

dumped our luggage at the bell counter and went casino to pass time. had vegetarian tomyum for lunch. not bads. lol.

checked in the room around 1plus, and fell asleep till 6plus. dilly dallied to freshen up to meet parents at 10 for 'dinner' after their francis yip concert. tried standing outside starbucks and coffee bean to connect to their wireless internet, but it was soo slow! pekchek ah!

then had chicken chop for dinner. actually, more like had potato wedges and salad for dinner. hais. after that casino-ed for a while, before going back to sleep.

and that's how i spent xmas this year. -_-

day 2 - woke up nearing noon, and had sushi for lunch!

black pepper fried dory set.

yums! 3 of us had 3 sets and 11 plates of sushi from the conveyor. total bill was less than 50sgd! stupid sakae should learn from them. =P

after which, i went shopping alone while parents headed back into casino. super boring. the whole place was so packed (yes cher, i learnt my lesson.), i so lost my shopping mood. the stuff also weren't exactly cheap. =(

wanted to go outside for fresh air, but it was raining heavily. wanted to go arcade to grab at least a toy to pei me, but it was even more freaking packed. and they changed the machines, so i can't use my trick. hais.

so i ended up back in the casino to watch my parents play. don't understand what's so interesting about that place. the noise gave me a headache while the cigarette smoke made my eyes so uncomfortable.

and i went back early to sleep. >.<

last day - had a little time before checking in.

i think we played like, 5 rounds. and i lost all of them. hrmph.

yep, so that sums up this trip. hopefully my last. lols.

should i also say that i missed SSD terribly. *paiseh* it's amusing how my parents kept telling me it's okay to call him,  and i refused. you know how expensive anot?! even one sms cost like, 60 cents? -_- and i came back home to see all his e-postcards. so 感動! lols. :P

hmmmm.

managed to satisfy my pasta craving at bugis today. lovely creamy, cheesy, mushroomy pasta. i super loves! =D

xmas party 2009

i'm back from genting trip!! and i'm here blogging while my hair is taking its time to dry. let me start with the party post first, before i forget everything.

anyways, had our xmas party on xmas eve. it was supposed to start at lunch, but apparently none of us had the mood to work in the morning. especially when the PL starting bringing out the presents for gift exchange. so exciting!!

our xmas tree, complete with presents underneath!

i admit it looks kinda botak, but i don't care. it's the prettiest one around, cos 5 of us decorated it with lurve. hahs. =\

we even more couldn't concentrate when the food arrived. even the bosses' bad mood didn't get us down.

PL was like, "open open (the cover)! michelle want to take photo!" haha! and i realize she ordered mostly seafood, so i can eat. except maybe the chicken wings. so sweet of her. muacks PL!

we started the games after lunch. pretty looking forward cos PL revealed that the prizes were not bad.

first game was this weird pair game. my partner was 親愛的. all of us were blindfolded, standing in 2 rows opposite each other. the organizers would have the 'feel-ers' put their hands into a box and feel what the item is inside. then they would have to find us 'write-ers' and whisper what item it is. then we'll write it down. both me and 親愛的 weren't too comfortable with being blindfolded, so we weren't really into the game. got alot of mistakes. hahas.

second game was an individual game, where the organizers had a list of items which they had hidden around the office. i super like these kind of treasure hunt games (which was why i organized one last year). when time was up, only D and i had managed to find 2 items. the rest all had one. and the last item to be found was in the meeting room. so me and D went in. i was like, "不要這樣啦。讓我啦！"

and he totally ignored me. but in the end is yours truly won lor! smart bo? =X and got this tigger thingy. lols.

third game was horrendous. they brought out the old xmas tree, decorated with lots of marshmallows and candy canes. and we all had a minute to rip off as many as possible. i only got 6. =( while the winner had like, 22? lols. the poor tree got ripped into 4 parts in the process though.

fourth game was fun too. we were divided into 2 groups and given 6 or 7 photos of places in singapore. we had to guess what place it was, and then spell it out using the cutout alphabets available. i was abit skeptical initially as our group consists of 2 malaysians, 1 sri lankan, and 1 from india. and me. panic ah! but luckily D was steady enough, and he practically knew all of the places lor! so we won again. :D and got some hand lotion thingy. lols.

fifth game was weird. pair game, and i partnered 親愛的 again. my right hand was tied to her left hand, and we had to roll plasticine into as many small balls as possible, without using the tied hands. well, as i'm not left handed, and i didn't quite like how the plasticine got into my nails, we didn't roll as many balls as we expected to. so yep, we didn't win this one. bleh.

and then gift exchange! i think D don't know his was from me. but i know who gave me mine! it was 親愛的! so 準 right?! actually i kinda suspected she got either me or HL, cos she die die also refuse to tell us, even when we said who we got.

nail polish from faceshop. loves! see, 親愛的 knows me so well. haha. muacks!

the end!

merry xmas!

i should start packing, cos it's almost 1am already. but i'm not. obviously.

celebrated (is it a celebration?) an early xmas with SSD. had dinner at xin wang citylink. at first i thought xin wang only got HK, didn't know they had TW as well. abit disappointed since i thought can have my mushroom porridge and 鴛鴦. in the end don't have.

so settled for fish soup bee hoon while he had chicken chop rice.

i think it's dong fen instead of mee fen, and so much of it. the soup tastes abit like sharkfin soup, which was probably why they gave vinegar as well. yay. chicken chop tastes not too bad, but i didn't feel very good about taking meat. so...yeah. lols.

they use super cute illustrations for their deco and menu...

then went esplanade rooftop, but was full of people. so went esplanade park. i keep seeing these 3 buildings recently. hmmmm.

well i hope SSD likes his gift. don't like also cannot say don't like. hahs. :P

next post will probably be when i come back. but i'll be twittering if i manage to connect to the wireless internet up there. or i may just give in and use my usual sms method. lol.

聖誕節快樂！！
