10 Million Dollar TOTO

Ok results out for the 10 million dollar TOTO... so was I even one of them?

Answer: Ofcourse not! If yes, guess I won't be writing this blog ever again! I will be doing something else like buy a HUGE house and gloat at it. Hahhahaa.... and I don't even have to check to numbers .. just have to check where the winning ticket come from coz if it doesn't appear, likely that is not the ticket you bought from and you are not the winner. Pooof! There goes my dream of 10 million out the window just like a german gas.

Company Dinner & Dance

After almost 2 years in the company, finally there is an Annual Dinner & Dance. I should be happy and excited about it in which I was. Why I used past tense, well... here is the story...

Ok.. Shanghai Suprise was the theme.... so have to wear Cheong Sam...One thing about wearing Cheong Sam, if you don't pick a good one, it may make you look fat or even worst make you look old. Sigh... good ones..errr... they are expensive... Cheap ones look just as nice but may certainly not beat the good ones lor.

They serve the food at almost close to eight after the speech. Boy! I am starving and I think most of people there are too. Anyway, I sat with other people from other area of department. Not due to this I am not happy with ... it is always the people that spoil it for me :(... First of all getting to the dinner is one thing... so anybody take care of me ? HELL ....NO! And that is what I get paid for all the 'thinking about other before myself' does. Perhaps I should stop that! I haven't quite learn the lesson that it doesn't really pay to be good to others at times especially those that always ask for favor from you and hardly ever return favors back to you. I am really sick of this but does it even matter? Some did ask but can't do much. One got ask but too late I found a good man to drive me there.

Second, I got drunk for the 1st time. Perhaps is becoz I was so hungry that I kept drinking the wine so that I can leave early to have my kids picked up. Head was heavy and really drunk when I bring my kids home wobbling on the way back home. Hahhahaha lucky managed to stay in one piece.

One small thing in which I was happy about is that my table got a gift. Yippy!

Pains in the back lately

Went to see Dr. Loh on Friday and told him about my long term pain in the back near the neck. Cervical pain.. send me to go SATA for an X-ray and spend $42 bucks. Sigh .. no choice... 3 days to come back with results.

Ok.. haven't been sleeping well either and it is due to worry of the results. There is pain on my lower back. Don't know why coz it just came lately and I am not sure is this even due to the cold I am having which seem to be a minor one compared to the many colds I have in life. hhahha

團圓饭 - Reunion with incomplete family

Ok... this year reunion dinner is on the actual day. Almost didn't made it on the actual day coz brother-in-law wants to have it 1 week early so that he can get to his father-in-laws place in Malaysia. Last year, we did that to accomdate him and this year, he tried his luck again. WHO ever eat reunion dinner so early as 1 week? If you call that reunion dinner, I call it bull-shit! What happen to TRADITIONS? This year we all got FED UP and say if you want to eat reunion dinner early, might as well not have one coz you are not even sincere eating together with your family so why even bother?

Well, my husband did the cooking coz I have to look after the young one. He sticks to me so a bit difficult to cook. Anyway, was a bit disappointed with the mushroom with black moss coz it didn't taste right. Sigh ... there goes my expensive mushroom :( sorb sorb.... didn't quite eat much... not sure why..But at least we have reunion dinner ... just without brother-in-law.

The Hunt for Cheong Sam for D&D Event

Ok .. today on leave to run errands again. Try to squeeze some time to go to some place to check out some Cheong Sam for the coming company D&D.

Checked out Chinatown Cheong Sam and wow they got a few but no price tag to it neither did I ask how much was it. That was stupid of me :(! Perhaps I was hoping that I could find some better designs than the one in Chinatown.

So went down to do other things before landing up in Centrepoint. Damn... so much changes ... didn't know the so called Specialist Centre is no longer there. The building is gone and got few buildings up. Suah Koo ....!

Anway, went to check out

Lady Xiang... HELLO... the door is close and no one inside? Hey ... no doing business har?

Mazzario ... heard so much fans online... They got fans from Facebook too... Besides.. their Cheong Sam design when I seen it online was like WOW! So went down to take a look coz they didn't even care to reply enquiry. May be don't want to tell me the price and want me to come down personally to see. Ok.. went in.. stood there and look at a few of their Cheong Sam and like erhmm... not bad leh... design is very nice .. I like it... errrrr but price hor... very expensive! $200 bucks at most. Lucky not $500.00 plus plus... Guess not within my budget :( so left. I would wonder if their service could be a bit better. I was there standing browsing ... nobody even bother to ask what I am looking for. However, I like it this way at least I can check the price... hehehehhe

Other Cheong Sam store at Centrepoint like vultures! I step in and the sales girl keep following me like I am going to steal her Cheong Sam and run out of the door. No pleasure in shopping and I left :(.

Anyway... if I have the draft pattern, I can make one Cheong Sam for myself without any difficulty but just that I don't have the time. So ... not fruitful on hunting a Cheong Sam guess have to hit Metro for help.
