Rollercoaster 2017

Got to learn more about what it takes to run your own company. 
What not to do, and that sometimes its better to be a little late than jump the gun on certain issues. 
Mighty glad that I did not have to put a cent into getting this lesson. 

Learnt that even the best of friendships cannot last if one side just doesn't want to communicate. 
That an ego has blown up so big that it cannot deflate to ask for help. 
It ended with a big drama which only showed everyone how far into the honey pot your fingers were stuck. 

Made some new relationships due to the job. 
Some might just be work-related but some have already been much more sisterly. 
Glad some of them still think of me after I no longer run the cafe. 

Skilled up on reading people a little more. 
Being a little nosey and asking a bit more is better sometimes. 
The way people treat someone who serves no purpose to them tells you a lot. 

Got to share the menu with a few friends from Australia.
Happy they actually liked the coffee. 
Maybe I should just open shop in Australia. 

Attended some awesome food festivals. 
Try out food from Michelin-starred restaurants & chefs. 
Cook and experiment with interesting new products. 

Saw my niece compete in the SEA Games. 
Learnt that some people have bad sportsmanship. 
Glad my niece is above that behaviour. 

Got to go back to Hong Kong. 
I love Hong Kong Island more. 
Dong Leng Mong Cha Zhao Teem!!!

Australian Invasion part 2!
Great to have them come here instead of always heading there. 
Ate a lot of food all around Singapore. 

Had my dog choke to death right at my foot. 
Pulled out the bit of gizzard he choked on. 
Revived him with some compressions and a few breaths of air without really knowing doggy CPR. 

Back to KL again for a food trip. 
Sometimes family can be so embarrassing. 
Family did not know walking to eat till I came along. 

Full force Christmas Party with an Eurasian theme. 
Half force NYE party with Pizza, Cheese, Pasta & Chicken Wings. 
What a crazy 2017!

Happy 2014

The blog posts have definitely slowed down and it's definitely time for a change. So starting with the first post of the year, the annual awards list shall go, mostly because I can't fill up most of the categories anyway. I guess just a paragraph reflecting on the year itself would be better than a stagnant, almost non-existent list.

So here goes….

2013, started off alright as I was in Perth with family and friends, but I already wasn't happy at work. So obviously work had to go and I left the place right after Chinese New Year which made the rest of the year awesome! Ended up going back to Perth to babysit 2 big dogs while sis turned 30 in Bali. Made a huge dinner for 10, which reminded me how fun it was to bake. Came back to get the keys to the new house and started moving in just before I left for London/Paris with Angie & Adi - Loved London, disgusted with Paris. Came back and started living in the new house while we moved stuff over from the old ones. Sis flew in for Christmas and New Years this year. Handed over the keys to my old house on the 16th of December. Brendan flew in as well. Held a mini tea ceremony to introduce Brendan to mom's side of the family. Handed over the keys to the other house on the 23rd. Held the Christmas party on the 24th. Went to Adventure Cove Waterpark, got on rides, snorkeled with the fish, choked on salty fish water, cut my toe in the tank and survived. Headed to Universal Studios Singapore, was "snowed" on and got some freebies by accident. Went to River Safari and loved watching the Panda eating, also the chocolate custard panda pau. Dinner at Sakae Sushi on the 31st might have had a computer glitch which made it almost free. Then finish it off by watching fireworks on TV and making a whole lotta noise with Barkley's toy.

Pretty good year I guess.

Year 7

Last year I wished I had more control in life compared to the blog. I guess my wish sort of came true... which is good enough for me.

Life has been busier since I started permanently with the company and I'm not complaining other than the fact that there's someone just pulling everyone down at work. Good news is that he's finally decided to leave, and no one is actually sad about it. That's the sad part I guess - that someone can be so disliked that everyone is happy about the fact that he's leaving. Oh well.....

Looking at the past year, there hasn't been much posts in anger, which I guess is a good sign. I think.

Maybe it's time for another blog challenge.

6 years and going. The past year has seen quite a few changes, including the look of this blog. Oh how I wish I can change some of the other things in my life as well, but the blog is one thing I can have quite a bit of control over and change so easily.

Do Not Call Me....

NEVER call me at 9 am in the morning and ask stupid questions. Don't wonder why I "don't sound alive". Heck do U sound alive when u got woken up by ur phone? Are u all chirpy like that stupid bird outside my window?? Bloody hell! One stupid phone call and now I can't get back to sleep. The only question that I should be asked at that time in the morning is "Hi are u coming to work?" which most probably will get u a dead sounding "NO" as my bloody answer anyway. It's a day off... frickin sleep in and stop talking about work. BLAH!

& Happy Birthday Apple Pie Di!
