Duo Le, Orchard Central

Duo Le at Orchard Central serves unique Chinese food.

Orchard Central has quite a couple of good restaurants - worth a try.

沟通原来真的很重要。

原来咋们‘爱’的概念很不同
他真可爱。

今天又是一个值得纪念的日子。

The Little Red Bag

*Hangs my little pink bag on his arm.*

*He starts to act like eunuch*

Him “Come Mervyn, give me your hand. One hand carry bag, one hand hold you. We shall walk hand-in-hand.”

Mervyn *Totally disgusted*
“Leave me out of this.”

Mervyn's birthday

Mervyn "Don't take so far, not nice one."
Me "Then how?"
Mervyn "Rearrange"
*But he lazy to rearrange, so here you go, a spread out picture.*

The plates quite nice.

Revenge Time

"Dear I cut botak. Very handsome. Think my new hairstyle fits yours now." "Ek... I don't want to see you for the next 3 months... later I no appetite."

Promise me

"Woman are always thinking.

One month into the relationship, they make you promise something.

"Promise me one thing."
"Okay."
"Promise that you'd promise me."
"Okay".
"Promise that you won't lie to me."
"Okay."

And that was the first time the guy lied to her." lol

Russell Peters

Pass the bill around

Me "So what did you do today?"
Him "I had a $83 dinner with my mother and aunt."
Me "Wow, isn't that beyond your daily budget?"
Him "No worries, I plan to send the bill to you."
Me "Then you'd become little white face."
Him "Then I'd send the bill to our son."
Me "Then he'd send the bill back to his father on his birthday."
Him "Then I'd go Pulau Tekong and after his birthday the bill won't be valid anymore."

Internship Gathering

I wonder how they get this effect...

They don't look drunk.

Other parties' representative "I need an indication."
Me "Okay."
Other parties' representative "Land is 3000 sq ft. Build up is 6000 sq ft. Landed property, 1-storey detached house."

How did they manage to build 6000 sq ft of space on one storey?



Friend's case.

Other parties' representative " 35 ABC road."
Friend "Any other details?"
Other parties' representative "Wooden house."
Friend "... okay. Any other details?"
Other parties' representative "No."

Work is so interesting.

Nice, France

有你真的真的真的很好。

On the bus

We were sitting on the bus when I saw his bag hanging on his shoulder. Hence I pick up his bag and put it on his lap.

Me "More comfortable this way."
*Bang* Bag too heavy.
Him "No more father's day."

If you laugh instantaneously, you're fast.

I recalled my days as an agent, picking up calls used to be like this

Me "Hello!" (you can clearly hear the smile)
Prospect "Hello, I am enquiring on this property at ABC road."
Me "Oh, this property is very good! It's facing sea, high floor, near famous school, corner unit, etc etc.... Would you like to view?"
Prospect "How much is the owner asking?"
Me "Oh, the owner is only asking for $30k above valuation."
Prospect "What?!?!"
Me "It's very good price sir. You see, just 5 minutes walk and you'd reach the MRT!"
*Convincing goes on*

Then at valuation it's like this

Me "Hello." (Sibe attitude tone)
Banker "Hello! May I speak to a valuer?"
Me "Yes, I am."
Banker "Oh hello! May I ask for an indication? The property is 123 ABC road. Land 5467 sqft. Build up 4684 sq ft. Corner bungalow. Recent renovation done 2 years ago at $200k. Asking price of $3.6million."
Me "Hold on."
*Does checking*
Me "Hello. $2-$2.2million."
Banker "So low? But it's asking price is $3.6million."
Me "I know. Indication $2-$2.2million."
Banker "Can higher? Another valuer gave me $2.8million."
Me "No. My stand remains at $2-$2.2million."
Banker *Bo bian* "Okay... thanks."

Someone did a thesis and found that valuers have high prestige but lowest pay. Agents on the other hand, has low presitge but highest pay. Now we know prestige has a high price to pay.

Japanese restaurant at Vivocity

Me "One dinner set please."
Waiter "Any drinks to go with it?"
Him "Green tea."
Waiter "2 green teas?"
Him "Is it free flow?"
Waiter "Yes."
Him "One will do."
Waiter "So sweet."

That's a good one. Next time your stingy customer wants to save some money and share on food, don't sulk, just say "so sweet."

Reactions

What are the reactions to my hair?

Shen Ting "The fringe makes you look young."
Hannah "I prefer your straight hair."
Maybeline "Look not bad."
Mervyn "I think you need to change job le"
Karen "Wah"
Sherni "Omg! This hair style is so suitable for you!"
Toot toot "Omg... ah ma! What did you do?"
Trung *shows good sign*
Kelvin *can't stop laughing*
Liongis "What did you do to your hair?"
Peter "Wah someone become to modern ah."
Siva "Hey who's this beautiful girl here?'
Jenny "This hair is very suitable for you!"
Brother "Not bad."
Sister "Omg you look like auntie."
Irene "Hey not bad, looks very nice on you."

Generally positive comments. Most importantly, his comments.

Him "I prefer your straight hair."
Him "I prefer when you tie up your curled hair. The fringe doesn't suit you."
Me "But I love the fringe."
Him "Doesn't suit you la."
Me "My hair or your hair?"
Him "Your hair. but my eyes leh."
Then he fainted.

Just joking.

Mid Autumn Festival

When it comes to durian mooncake, nothing beats home's favourite durian mooncake. One box of 4 for $50 (excluding 10% discount).


"It's so nice! Taste like real durian!"
"So why not you just buy the real durian?"

Make sense. So next time, don't drink orange juice, just eat orange.

The next time your partner uses Mars & Venus theory on you...

Me "Looks like the man are from mars woman are from Venus book does not apply on you entirely."
Him "Yah, because I'm neither from Mars nor from Venus; I'm from earth."

Sherni Home-Comming 2009

Thanks toot toot's mum for the food - steam fish, pineapple rice, herbal soup, cereal prawn, barley water, melon, moon cakes and banana cake.

Looks like having a Taiwanese boyfriend does help in posing.

You know there is a social support group for people who hate their jobs?


Its called "everyone" and they meet at the pubs.



PS: Thanks Ms Foo for the joke.

Me "I cut heavy fringe, highlighted my hair brown, curled and lower half of my length and layered my hair."
Mr Xie "Wow, so how you do look now?"Me"Chioer-chiobu."
Mr Xie "Why 1/2 only?U covering up the uglier part of your face? Like batman's 2 face like that..."

No need to draw eye browns liao. :)

Was reading the blog of a taxi driver who claims to be the only taxi driver in this world with a PhD from Stanford.

This reminds me of something.

Never guide a book by its cover. I spoke to numerous taxi drivers and find quite a number of them owned huge businesses previously and was declared bankrupt. We also read newspaper and saw many cases of high ranking officers losing their jobs after 50 and could not find another job; they have no choice but to become cleaners. You will never know the dish washer's husband might be a multimillionaire; she just wants to work to cure her boredom.

We may not have feel it yet, but in terms of labour, this society is very cruel to older generation. Just accompany an old folk to seek jobs and you will know what I mean.

Or even if the cleaner is not well educated, his experience in the society university may have exceeded our paper qualification.

I recalled the time when I got so upset with this Caucasian trader for barking at me machiam I'm his servant. 3 other technicians who accompanied me shared with me how this is part of their everyday life. They can change the air-condition duct and be ridiculed at. I learn how not to take your pride too seriously.

Some people says my friends varies from rich to poor, smart to innocent. I think all of them have something that I can learn from or share my joy/sorrow with.

I don't quite agree with my friends who disapprove their boyfriends for have childish friends. Don't look down on people.

The next time an uncle/ auntie clears your plate away, think twice. He / she may have fallen from grace few years back.

"I woke up today feeling so relaxed."
"Next time don't wear condom to sleep."

Just joking.

For Chenli

The SACO clique had a gathering for exotic food along arab street last week.

工字不出头，出头也是土。

"Come out and play lah."
"No la, I have to study. I paid so much for the fees already."
"You pass already then what?"
"Find a job with that paper loh."
"Then continue and work for other people to get rich!"

工字不出头，出头也是土。

If you remain employed, you will never suceed.
By the time you have earned enough to be sucessful, you are about to retire/die.

Calling all NUS career guides alumni!

Calling all NUS career guides alumni! I have created a facebook group. Please join and help to update! :)

PS: I'm sorry PH, I shall not block your face since you have no facebook. lol

I am happy to announce that Hannah is the second friend he met and first one upon request.

Him “We met at the HR class.”
Hannah “Ya!”
Him “Both of you (Hannah and me) are always sat together.”
Hannah “Haha”
Him “I wanted to sit beside her but you kept sitting beside her.”

He’s humorous.
