Ex-schoolgirls meeting place

Hi Blossom,

What's ure hubby studying? Yeah, alot of pple having exams this time of the yr. One of my colleagues just completed his.

The movie was not bad. NOt as scary as I tot tho. ITs abt this virus that was spreading rapidly, turning those infected into cannibalistic zombies. There's another movie I'd like to watch : Dirty Pretty Things. It has the french actress I like alot, Audrey Tautou (the star of Amelie). Probably catch it next weekend.
 


hi alhana,
hmm... i wrote you a message yesterday but dunno why its gone...

anyway, my hubby is studying his mba.

the movie sounds scary... maybe im timid...
lol.gif


these few days i will be very busy... some deadlines to meet...
 
Hi Blossom,

Orh...where's he doing his MBA? NUS/NTU/SMU? Or the distance learning courses?

The movie wasn't v scary..well, not to me anyway. I think I get more spooked out by creepy ghost movies than such slasher flicks. I mean the idea of zombies is kinda far out, but haunted houses, etc..well, they seem to be more possible.

Well, take care then..dun overwork ureself.
 
hi alhana,
my hubby is doing a distance learning course.

thanks... the deadline is today... everything is done, so i came back earlier today.
happy.gif
 
hi alhana,
hope you have a nice day today.
happy.gif
what did you do today?

as usual, i stayed at home to tidy up the house again. the dust is making me sneeze like crazy. anyway, my hubby was really grateful that im having him to clear the mess.
lame.gif


i have not finished clearing yet. i only have time to clear on sundays. i think i still need another 2 sundays before it's finally done.
wink.gif
 
hi alhana,
how have you been? have not talked to you for quite some time.
happy.gif


it has been a dreadful week for me last week and im still feeling dreadful this week. there are lotsa things to do and i have this headache that makes me so weak that i do things so slowly. i was on mc last week but things din get better. but i still force myself to work becos i have a deadline to meet.

my boss called me in today and told me that there are still some outstanding reports from me and asked abt the progress. ok, its true that i have been sitting on a report for a long long time but the truth is its not impt so i prioritise and do the more impt ones first. if its so impt, why did she chase for it only after so many months??
angry.gif


i hate to do things just for the sake of doing it loh. and i know that they are throwing all the dreadful work to me just becos im new. i felt so disgusted. i know i have to brace up and get used to all these if i want to stay on in the company.
lame.gif


sigh... my probation is going to end soon. sometimes, im really in a dilemma whether i shld stay on. the pay really sucks and the work is not that fantastic either... im just sick of looking for jobs. anyway, just remain status quo for the moment....

sorry to complain....

How are you liao? Where u working at?
 
Hi Blossom,

Yeah, didn't see ure earlier posts, hence didn't come in here :P

sorry to hear that ure job still sucks! that was one reason why i quit my former job. boss sucked, working hrs sucked, and pay sucked too. Still, I felt lazy when it came to actually looking for new jobs..having to write resumes, going for interviews etc..but I got to a pt where it sucked so much that i was determined to leave..and I'm so glad I did. It was really a dead-end job b little potential to grow, and I knew if I didn't leave, I wld be stuck there forever (job exp garnered there wld count for little in the pte sector). Guess U'll have to decide whether or not u want to be working at this job for the next few yrs.

Just watched the Matrix Revolutions tdy. It was ok. The action sequences were quite good, but the storyline was hazy. Ending was kinda weak too. Still liked the first movie best. Been watching lotsa shows lately..from comedies to horror to action. Kill Bill was pretty good.
 
alhana!!
biggrin.gif


finally see you here again. i thot you are not coming here again.
sad.gif


thanks for sharing about your previous co. i have sorted out my thots. i think i will stay on for a while. i think i ought to give myself and the co a second chance. or else, i will really appear to be a job hopper.
lame.gif


i watched the first matrix movie on tv last weekend. it was really interesting.
happy.gif
a pity i missed the 2nd one. may be catching the 3rd one if my hubby is free. but these few weekends are packed with attending wedding dinners. seems like a hot month for weddings.
uhoh.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

Yeah, I have 2 wedding dinners this mth..and my friends also have quite a few to attend in Nov &amp; Dec. Guess pple like to push their weddings to the end of the yr. Hehe..tis the season to burn a hole in ure pocket!

The first Matrix was pretty good, but the other 2 are mediocre at best. The action scenes are still v good compared to other shows out there (even better than the new Star Wars movies) but the storyline gets more confusing as it progresses. I also bought the Indiana Jones trilogy DVD set..it was fun watching those movies again..one of my all-time faves.

True, u shld give ureself sometime to grow into ure new job. After all, u've only worked for less than a yr. For me, I worked for 2 yrs before I realised tt it wld be better for me to get out. Still, remember tt u ought to do what's best for you n ure future.

Monday again. Found it hard to get up this morning. Wished it was Sunday instead :P
 
<font color="ff6000">garfield</font>,
Congrats to u too! Wow, cant imagine u got marry so early.
happy.gif


Me fine, working as an a/cs exe. in a trading company. Work getting bery boring &amp; sian...

How abt U &amp; family?
happy.gif
 
hi alhana,
yah mann... burnt a big hole in my pocket becos of all the angpows and cny coming again.

yah, i will see if this job is suitable for me. today, my boss's boss called me in and asked me how is my work. she told me to be patient and said that once economy improves, things will get better. anyway, i think i will just take one step at a time. see how it goes...
 
Hi Blossom,

Groan..dun remind me abt CNY :P And before CNY, there's Christmas too! *Double groan* Its like my 13th month bonus is just meant for all these expenses
sad.gif


Well, looks like ure boss may be concerned abt how u feel in ure job. That's a good sign. At least she tries to reassure you! So think positive yeah?

I'll be going to BKK (again) at the end of this mth. This time its not work, but leisure. Hope to buy christmas presents n go for massages. Shoulders aching fr being desk bound all day. its a short trip, only 3D/2N. After this, probably wun go to BKK for at least another yr :P Plan to go for a beach resort holiday next yr. Either Bali or Krabi.
 
hi alhana,
my boss is not concerned. its my boss's boss who is concerned. she is the dept head whereas my boss is only a manager. but then again, she may just be saying it for the sake of saying it. i will try to think positive. thanks.
happy.gif


going to bkk again? wow... hope you have a fruitful trip. how much did you pay for your package? going with your hubby?
biggrin.gif
 
Hi Blossom,

Am going w hubby and parents. Dad going to settle some business, while the rest are just there on holiday. We bought the air tix under SQ's 4-to-go promo (think $290) n am getting accomodation thru the web. TRied calling to get package but alot of the tour agencies are booked full for that particular period...only left w the evening or nite flight packages, which we don't want. Anyway i chked similar packages (ie SQ n similar hotel) and the px is somewhat the same. Those cheap ones advertised are usually lower end hotels or late flights.

Hmm..feel like planning where to go next yr..like looking fwd to holidays
happy.gif
 
Yeap, its the peak season all right. My colleague just bought a 4D/3N package to BKK over the christmas hols..$500 man! Really ex. Chked papers and saw some 3D/2N ones going for $400+..so much more compared to a few mths back.

U guys planning to go on another holiday? Maybe next yr?
 
hi alhana,
wow, that is really ex. i dun intend to go anywhere for the rest of this year. next year may go australia, no concrete plans yet.
happy.gif
 
Yeah, Thailand is pretty hot this holiday season..most of the flights I checked are fully book. Quite a few of my colleagues are going BKK as well, altho will be there at different times of the mth. Mmm..looking fwd to the crab meat fried rice at this seafood restaurant I visited the last time I was in BKK. Getting hungry just thinking abt it.

There's so many places I'd like to visit, but must think of the financial implications. wld love visiting Scotland again, but the pound is a killer. Other parts of europe aren't tt great either. Hope to aim for USA next Nov/Dec..and maybe a beach resort type holiday in June. Its been a long time since I've been to Hawaii..wld wanna go there again.
 
i would love to go to bkk again but with shopping kakis and better walking shoes.
lol.gif


i think i did not tell you... i passed my probation already. somehow, felt rather happy. i guess its nice to be a confirmed staff.
 
Congrats on ure confirmation
happy.gif
Hope ure company will truly appreciate ure efforts and treat u well!

Its my sis's bday tdy. Will be going to Raffles Hotel for a buffet lunch to celebrate the event.

No movies for me to watch this week..sad
 
thanks.... i only hope i dun make silly mistakes again and outrage my boss. somehow, the more she angry with me, the more she will tekan me.
sad.gif


wow.... enjoy your buffet lunch.
biggrin.gif


harry potter's 3rd movie will only come out next year june... so sad. but we have booked tickets for lord of the rings...
lol.gif
 
Huh, are tix for Return of the King available now? How did you guys manage to book it?

Saw snippets of Harry Potter &amp; The Prisoner of Azkaban on the news the other day. Some how, I still prefer the books to the movies..the movies seem less magical. But yeah, I'd still watch them :P
 
hi alhana,
my hubby booked through the recreational club of his co.
happy.gif


for harry potter... actually, i look forward to seeing the movie, wanna see how they are going to do it this time.
wink.gif
 
Oh i c, was wondering how u guys managed to book tix when the cinemas aren't even promoting the movie yet. Right now they're still promoting Matrix Revolutions :P

Want to watch this movie called Love Actually, which will be out early Dec. Its a romantic comedy n stars many of my fave British actors (like Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman (aka Prof Snape), Emma Thompson, Colin Firth just to name a few) Miss watching romantic comedies.

Mmm..looking fwd to my trip at the end of the mth. Can't wait!
 
hi alhana,
yah.
happy.gif
my hubby bought the dvd for matrix reloaded. we watched it last nite. it is quite an interesting show but we are quite unsure abt certain parts. and we are so amazed that zion has been destroyed 6 times... goodness me.

romantic comedies are one of my fav too but my hubby doesnt like it.
lame.gif


so envious that you have a trip to look forward too...
biggrin.gif
my hubby mentioned abt our aussie trip again. we may be going in feb.
wink.gif
 
Heh..romantic comedies are chick flicks! They're also known as perfect date movies. I'm quite fussy abt my comedies tho..they can't be corny or rely on slapstick, else I'm bored in 2 seconds. Did you watch My Best Friend's Wedding? My sis and I enjoyed it loads..and when hubby n I were in Koh Samui for our honeymoon, we borrowed the video to watch in our room (our hotel has a video movie library) Quite appropriate topic since we just had our wedding then.

Mmm..trip Down Under sounds fun! Which parts are you planning on going?
 
i have not watched my best friend's wedding. i will look out for it.
happy.gif
video movie library sounds cool. my hubby would love that.

we have not planned where to go yet. my hubby borrowed some travel guides and will prob find out more info from the web.
 
Yeah, the hotel was perfect for honeymooners. I was telling some of the gals abt it on the Koh Samui thread, and I think one or two stayed there during their honeymoon. They loved it too! Svc is impeccable, rooms are huge and beautiful, has its own beach, spa etc. Quiet and relaxing.

I've not been to Australia yet. Now trying to go as far as possible since we aren't bogged down w children yet. Of coz hafta consider the strain on our pockets as well. Far trips = big money.
 
Yup, its a beautiful place to rest and relax. Think that's the beautiful thing abt beach resorts. Of coz, its not a cup of tea for everyone..some pple will be bored out of their skulls. But we enjoy it..nice way to de-stress and enjoy each other's company. Sometimes hectic fast-paced holidays can be more stressful :P
 
hi alhana,
i went to watch matrix revolutions already. i find it very nice. although not much action compared to the frist 2 movies, i still like the show.
happy.gif
just glad that there is peace now.
 
Hi Blossom,

So u finally got to watch a movie
happy.gif
Glad u liked it. I tot it had quite alot of action actually, what w the big war between Zion &amp; the machines. My hubby likened the fight scenes to a game of MechWarrior
happy.gif
All those humans strapped up to big machines..pretty cool.

There's sneaks for Love Actually tonite, but dun think I'll go coz I have a wedding dinner to attend tonite.
 
hi alhana,
hey, my hubby mentioned mechwarrior too!
biggrin.gif
he was quite excited over it and i think the war scences are rather interesting. we went to great world city imax, so the screen was much bigger and sound effects much louder....

so you have a wedding dinner tonite. i dun think i will be going anywhere although i am on leave today. just take a rest loh.
 
Hi Blossom,

I've yet to go to Imax...how much do the tix cost? Dun really wanna go to Great World City tho..kinda out of the way altho I have a direct bus there from home. Wonder why they didn't install Imax n Gold Class in more high traffic areas like Orchard Rd. Heh..ure hubby plays MechWarrior too?

Yeah, hubby's best man is finally tying the knot. They had the church ceremony yesterday, and the dinner tonite. Glad its a holiday eve, otherwise quite sian to go for a wedding knowing I'd have to go to work the next day. Its at the Sheraton..expect the food will be good.
 
alhana,
each tix costs $13. i also dun like to go great world city. imagine me going from punggol. but it's worth it since the movie is quite good.

yes, my hubby plays mechwarrior. but he seldom plays nowadays ever since he started his mba and new job.

yah, heard that sheraton is quite good.

i also dun like to go wedding dinners on sunday nites... pre-monday blues acting on me.
lol.gif
 
Wow...$13 is quite ex, but yeah, its ok to splurge if the movie is worth it. I wldn't mind watching ROTK on such a big screen. Spking of ROTK, the cinemas have started advance tix sales..thinking which day I shld watch the movie. Last yr I was on leave on the day we watched the movie..but doubt I'll wanna take leave again this yr.

Yeahlor, attending dinners on a Sunday nite is mega-sian. PLus these chinese dinners always start late and end late too. Think we'll leave late tonite...I hate waiting ard for 1.5hrs for the dinner to start.
 
yes, it is definitely ex. i was having my cramps yesterday but i still force myself to go becos hubby booked the tix thru internet liao.

i also hate to wait for dinner to start. if only everyone can be more considerate.
lame.gif
 


Yeah lor, but it seems tt its the norm to start dinners from 9pm onwards. By then, I'm already starving to death :P Anyway, I usually try not to eat too much at wedding dinners, coz its too late for the food to digest properly before going to bed.

Think my dinner started pretty early and ended early as well. One of the pros of doing a buffet dinner. For the past few chinese sit-downs I've attended, we're always there on time ie 7.30pm, but the bride n groom only marches in ard 9pm. Come to think abt it, its quite insane starting a dinner at 9pm. Why can't pple just come earlier? Then can start early n end early.
