Super busy loh

With work and the boyfriend and shopping and my cute little dog. But I guess it'll tone down a lil for the next coming week.

Reason?

Chris' going for training with his cadets in thailand lah! 2-3weeks. Gahgahgah!

Anyways, some pictures to update this blog. Will be typing lazily today, very tired.

ChinaTown day 2 Sundays ago. Had to go shop for something "Singaporey" as gifts for 2 Indonesian guys, and so we decided to pop by the famous dessrt place and the famous porridge place for makan!



Slurppy slurps slurps




Okay, then joined my colleagues for makan at Pizza ust the evening before the pay came in. Kakakaka....

After only being in the company for less than a month, I was still invited to their yearly company function! We're going to Sentosa! Not very exciting at the first place lah. But I was so wrong!

The whole company consisted of 25people including the doctors, nurses/assistants, front desk and part timers.

Me & Stephy



Had ice breaking games, great catered breakfast, lunch & tea break and a Amazing Race in the whole of Sentosa. 6 Points in total and our group completed in about 2hrs. We would be in 1st place if our group did not split into 2 during the last stop. Communication breakdown lah. Zzz. Just this picture to show, 1st point, all energised and excited. The rest all looking really tired already.


End of the day, all dead beat. Took a group photo before going our own ways.


Anyways, we came in 2nd and got $30 NTUC voucher each. Spent it on Chris' necessities for the Thai trip & some chocolates & cookies as well.


Then 3days ago the Saturday hor, saw at the Cathay got this show call something something Revelation, and it's R21. Both of us, naively thought it was gonna be some Kill Bill or Saw kinda gorely shows, our 1st time ok. But ah! End up ish PORN okay! And the story line sucks to the core. Throughout the show, I catch no ball. =.="

Waste money!

He surprised me with this over late lunch.

Agatha Doggy bracelete! Hehehehe....




Makaned @ MOF. Really like the cheap and good dessrt there.


Then we made this on Sunday night, for Monday's breakfast. :P


My Cutesy lil baby!


i'm a happy girl

Sick

Flu bug is back to bug me!
Nose blocked, runny and stuffy
Cough
Light headed
Ears blocked too
And feeling very sleepy

So yesterday, took time off from 4pm to come home to rest. Who knows, upon reaching my door step, there wasn't anyone at home. So we sat down outside & I fell asleep on Chris, with my dogs lying by the gate staring at us before my brother came home 30minutes later.

Slept from 630pm till 9-ish pm, ate a lil and went back to bed around 10pm. Chris left when I was soundly asleep. Woke up only at 11am this morning and as I'm typing this, I'm starting to feel a lil sleepy already.

Still sneezing and coughing away, muscus flowing like a river. Waiting for Chris to be back to take me to the doctor.




Remember the macarons I had from my Bangkok trip?

Cheap, but small and filling weren't generous. It still satisfy the buds thou.


And see what I saw at Wisma's Bakerzinn!
Super duper big, fat and filled macarons!

And it was like so expensive lah, but I was drooling and he gave in and so we bought 4pieces ust to satisfy our curiousity and cravings.

Super yummilicious... Chris liked the Bangkok ones, but I like this better!



Now that I've told my girlies about my job, I think it's only right that I let others know. Ahahaha.
I'm a patient coordinator at a advanced dentistry centre, where the dentist do more than scaling, polishing, braces and fillings.

Went for a public discussion forum organised by my director, and guess who's speaking? Bill Dorfman, the dentist from Extreme Makeover!

L-R: Me, Dr Yap[director], Ezan[PC], Bill Dorfman, Stephanie[PC], Shierly[dr's assistant] and Angie[dr's assistant].

Missing from the photo is Dr Lim, Dr Gan[periodontist - gums specialist] and Nurul, another dr's assistant. And yeap, that's how big we are in this branch.


Oh ya, I made another biggest decision of my life ust the other day. My virgin hair got highlighted!

My first time, and didn't want to shock myself out and also because I work in the front desk,, I told the stylist to give me something nice yet subtle. And the main reason for me to highlight was to hide my white hairs and to add some colours to myself lah.

And so, the base colour is dark brown, and stripes of Magenta Red[somewhat like the colour of my font] on top of it. I'm loving it, but when the bill for my hightlight, hair cut, and Chris' hair cut, we almost fainted! Total of $268. Scary right? It's okay, I ust wont go back there anymore.

Haahaa.. Am already thinking of what colour for the next round when the colour fades.


Give me mc for tomorrow too

Happy 21st Birthday !!

Saturday was quite a bad day for me cos:

1. I have to OT till 6pm at work, and I was alone, doing 3person's work
2. Chris was waiting aimlessly around town
3. Did not bring my camera to the chalet. [damn, i reminded myself to bring the night before!]
4. Cab fare from PS to ECP was a freaking 20bucks!
5. Had headache
6. Lost my Nokia e65 in ECP's public toilet when the both of us went "gai-gai" after the cake cutting
7. Quarrelled with Chris after we left the chalet which lasted the whole night and into the next day [resolved, and still very loving now :P]

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! The thing worth celebrating for and not bring too upset about is my bestie turning 21 !!!

Dina!!!!! You're finally 21 LAH!!! T-W-E-N-T-Y O-N-E!!!!!!!!!!! Hehehehe, welcome to the gang. Lalala~ [Eileen, please don't, DON' LAUGH okay! Your turn is coming soon!].

Alrighty, see you girls in about an hour's time!

It's been a loooooong time since the only 4girls gathered for girls bitching/gossiping session.


Love you girls!
michelle

Good week

*Yawnnnnnnn*

Yeap, you've heard me. It's only 2230hrs and I feel like super duper ultra sleepy already!

I've been waking up diligently between 0730hrs-0750hrs the past 4days and falling asleep the minute I plonked onto my bed [usually between 2245hrs-2330hrs]. How cool is that? I haven been sleeping early and having a deep sleep for so long already.

Today's the last day of the course and I think I've benefitted so much even before I got integrated into the practice. It seems like a whole new exciting journey which will bring me further in life.

Don't be surprise at my job title which I'd reveale in a later date, cos it might sound like a low salaried, low production, low usuage of brain cells. But the truth is we are the managers of the whole business and how my role, as well as my other 2 colleagues, would either help the practice generate high or low income.

How interesting eh? It's like a relevation to each of our roles in the practice after this course and we'd take more ownership of it and perform it with better understanding on why we should.

My bosses are really nice okay. They treated us lunches at Sakae Sushi on day1, Borders Bistro on day2, lunch was free & easy on day3 and Borders Bistro again today. Food at BB is GREAT! Pasta serving can be humongously HUGE! So beware. :P

And they're making us uniforms! Quite nice, 3 tops at $70bucks each. They wanted to make 6, but we were concerned about the money spent more than them lah. Haha, cute bosses. Also needa get 2 uniform cardigans, 2 blacks pants & a pair of shoes for the 6 of us. Guess we girls gotta go shopping someday next week!


I'm sooooooooo looking forard to my FIRST paycheque in many many months. Gonna buy Chris & myself somthing really nice with it, haven decide on what yet. Will start saving on my 2nd paycheque, haven been indulging my shopping spree for such a long time.


Sleepy already
Michelle

Breakthroughs

Hmmm...

After all the visits and meals together with Chris' family, I can now say that I'm getting more and more at ease.

We happened to go back to his place yesterday to grab a charger before leaving for Causway point for dinner and to stock up on Sundae's kibbles. Midway, Chris remembered it was his elder brother's birthday and that his Mom prolly cooked up food for the occassion.

Entered the house sniffing in as much aroma of the food as we could because we were SO HUNGRY! HAha!

The 3 hours in there we chatted over meal, got to know Chris' SIL a lil more, played with Chris' niece, chatted bits with his Mom, and got a little more friendlier and open towards his younger sis.

It was quite fun lah, especially watching Catherine[Chris' niece] play gleefully with the balloon and behaving damn cheekily while having the cake. She can like take a spoonful of the cake and the cream get on the outside of her lips, she'll stick out her tongue ,and in circular motion, lick and SMEAR the cream all over her lower half of the face!

AND she does it each time she takes a bite! Cute right! It's like she's out to make us laugh!







Oh ya! Great news........ I've got a job already! [Everybody say "yay~~" ya.. like again!! lemme see..... it's my 3rd ob within 1.5yrs]

Gonna keep it hush hush for now. Don't wanna get too excited and hyped up about the job yet still kind premature to be announced as I'm going through a course, and then a 3months probation period afterwards.

Pay wise is kinda average for a Diploma holder. So don't keep coming to ask me for treats ah!





Talking about job, my previous one, damn irritating! I think I'll never recommend anyone there already. Already received few threatening messages when I didn't answer the bosses' calls when I was either busy or, like earlier, in the shower.

Now all I pray is that they'd pay me! If they don't, I'll refer customers to the firm that has opened right next to them.




'Nuff from the unhappy stuff, back to my current job. As I asid, i'm on a mini course now with the rest of the people at OSD[shortform for my work place, good for you if you managed to figure it out. heh.]. Consultant is from the States and I love his presentations!

He asked a question in class, even my 3 bosses thought for a while and came up with less than satisfied answer to to consultant. [okay, let me brag a bit here can?] I on the other hand, gave him a superb answer and he was in AWE! "Are you sure you've been only here for a day?"

And my director went "That's a very good answer. I'm impressed"
And boss 2 went "Very well done."
And boss 3 went "Whoa"

And consultant went "Where did you hire this girl?"
And boss1 went "We've been interviewing for 2 months and came this right candidate and we hired her immediately!"

Yea, I went for interview like 2hours after I sent my resume, a trial the very next morning and started work the day after. I even clocked OVERTIME ok!

And then colleague went "I'm so proud of you, you remembered what I've taught you through the 2hours crash orientation yesterday."

What did I tell you guys? Ah~? ah~? I'm a fast and keen learner ok! :D Of course under the right circumstanced like the teacher, surroundings and influences. Realise that a motivating & unpressurizing teaching method works the best for me.



I can easily say that these encouragement, motivations and words of praise made me the happiest employee today! [when was the last time i got praised? and how often do I get prased, I don't remember.] And for the following days, months or years to come. It had seriously made an impact on me, definitely.



Starting to miss school when I was there. Missed the times straining my ears to adjust to the slang of different teachers' special accents, missed the times where I could so confidently asnwer questions subconsciously while listening & taking down notes, missed the times where I really like subjects/modules and I put in a hundred and one percent of my concentration and hard work to excel and show the lecturer I'm his best student.

I guess I must be really missing 'student-hood'. The strive to compete, excel and outshine in classes. But I remembered I was never good enough. Maybe that is what's stopping me from putting my hundred and one percent in adulthood.

Time to have a change, to welcome the new type of bosses & colleagues into my life. I don't want to quit after a few months again.

9-6pm again tomorrow!

Me cooked these

We always eat out, and recently, it's becoming such a chore to decide what and where to have our daily dinner. We both love good food, and most of the times, good food doesn't come cheap. In our aim to cut down on our expenses and yet not resorting to eating hawker takeaways, we COOKED!

Not only cooking is CHEAP, it also taste nice when you don't have bad cooking skills. Lalala~

Linguine Carbonara with added bacon & golden mushroom! & Broccolli in Creamy Chicken Soup!



We also had baked potatoes like 2 hours afer our dinner. All these, less than 10bucks!! Cheaper than having it at Pasta Mania.

Down side to whipping up your own food? Doing the dishes! 3 pots and pans, and like 4bowls, 3plates, 1 tong and numberous spoons & forks.

My hands..... I'll need some chocolate butter moisturizer!!


Very selfish just to cook for the 2 of us riggggggghhhhtttt? So I gave some broccolli to Sundae. Mashed up broccolli + Nutripe canned food.



Saw this thingy that Dina took on her blog. Being bored, I tried it out.

Take a read, and try it out too!

What Michelle Teo Nah Hoon Means

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

Amazingly 90% accurate!

Oh wait~ Great! Now everyone knows my full name. [GaH!]

Dead bored!

Yellow-Faced-Woman

In Mandarin, it means " Huang Lian Puo ".

What defines a " YFW " ?

1. She does not go to work
2. She stays at home to do every little house work
3. She keeps the house neat and tidy by sometimes nagging, sometimes doing
4. She feels really bored and aimless after all the chores are done
5. She feels lonely when there's no one online to chat with her
6. She walks her dog too often
7. She pass time by waiting for her other half to come home from work
8. She cooks
9. When there's nothing else easy for her to cook, she tries to look into the recipe book for more challenging dishes to whip up.
10. She now only need 7hours of sleep, sometimes even lesser as she don't tire out easily anymore

There are more to it.

Sad to say, I've been like that for the past week after my Bangkok trip! Even Chris commented that I'm one already. Doing the laundry, dusting the house, vacuuming the areas, IRONING [I accidentally IRONED my right index finger the other day.]

I seriously need a job, PERIOD!

Ugly shit

Job hunting starts tomorrow
