Wrapping Up 2010...

2010 is finally coming to an end soon... Time for me to look back and give 2010 a wrap up. 2010 has left me with many thoughts and I really hope that 2011 will be an even better year ahead...

Work...
Work has been hectic for the whole of this year. I hardly have a chance to really breathe at work throughout the year. The moment I have slightly little more time for myself to take a breather, work starts to pour in again. :( It is probably quite lucky that we managed to hire someone to help me out. She is not perfect, but she is young and I believe, can be guide and coach to be a better help.

I have probably learnt more things at work in 2010 than I ever had to or get the chance to be exposed to if I stay on in this job if my bosses did not leave. I had learnt to fend for myself, defend my position, argue with people about what works and what don't, see how ridiculous some people can be, work my way around to get things done and see the true colors in some people. It was also great that I managed to get more exposure at work by meeting customers and etc. It was a whole new experience that if my bosses did not leave, I probably won't get exposed to so soon. In a way, the leaving of my bosses are both a plus and minus for me. It sort of accelerated my progress and I have to learn to survive.

I guess I can say that I am a survivor at work now...

Study...
I have finally finished my Uni studies after 2 years. It was definitely not easy for me to juggle both my work, travel and studies at the same time especially when I had been much busier at work this year compared to previous years. My results showed how bad it was for me. :P It was a relief to me when I received my results as I thought I will need to "da bao" one of the modules. Phew~

I am still contemplating about the job switch thingy. I have started looking out for jobs but not actively. I may or may not want to switch... Let's see how it goes...

O... crazy me went and signed up for a language course to learn Japanese. It should start in Jan 2011. :P I guess since I suddenly have so much time on hand, I can use it to learn something too. :D

Grow Up...
I hate to say this but I had to tell myself that it is time for me to grow up and not to just trust what people have to say. There are many times when I put trust in my friends, to find that it is all a lie after all. I have to learn that they may no longer be the person whom I used to know. Everyone grows up. It's time for me to grow up and not to put my trust in everyone. I guess this is why some people always say "The only person you can trust is yourself."

I Passed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg! Omg!!! I passed all my modules!!!! Yippee!!!! Even though the grades are not fantastic but I passed everything!!!! Wahahaha...

This morning when I checked my results, my most feared module got a PC as the grade. I was like WTF is PC?! I know PA is pass, NN is fail then wtf is PC???!!!! Totally cold sweat lor... I had to call the school and ask before I know PC is Pass with compensation. Whatever it is, it means that I passed!!!! Woohoo!!! This means no more mugging, no more projects, no more late nights struggling to squeeze more things into that tiny weeny brain of mine anymore! I officially graduate liao!!! Wahahaha....

The feeling now can only be descriped by one word, 爽! To think I managed to pass my Business Ethics. I really am the Ultimate Smoke Queen! Hahaha...

Random Updates

I have been feeling too lazy recently to blog nowadays. :P Anyway just some random quick updates...

Exams...
I finished my exams sometime in first week of November. This time round the exams sucks totally. I only have confidence of clearing 1 paper. As for the other 2 papers, there is a high chance that I may have to repeat the module. Sigh... Let's wait until 02 Dec before I know my fate... If I managed to pass all my modules this semester, this means I will graduate liao. If not... when I will graduate will depend on when is those modules being offered... I hope I can pass...

Vietnam...
I went to Hanoi to attend a friend's wedding and came back to Singapore on Tues. It was the first time that I went to Vietnam. Hanoi is a very different place as compared to Singapore. Sort of like China 2 years ago with many many motorcycles on the road. I kind of enjoy my trip to Sapa even though that place is too cold for me... The trip to Sapa was very tiring due to the trekking but I think it was worth it as it allowed me to see things that I would otherwise not get to see. The only unfortunate thing is that I got sick during my trip there. It sucks to fall sick during vacation but I'm just glad that I have more or less recovered.

Ok time to go to bed... I will post some photos if I remember. :P Till next time... :)

Happy 28th

Time come and go so quickly that without actually realising it, I turned 28th today.

It is a pity that I have achieved much in life yet. There's too many things but too little time for me to do all the things that I want.

Hopefully, I will be able to take a break one day, have a look around me and know what I want in life. After all, we only lived once.

Happy 28th to me! I hope life will be even better for me for the rest of the years...

奶茶

Hee... Like I say before, I have always love to drink 奶茶. So this is my review of the 奶茶 that I had drank around in Singapore...

Note huh... I am not an expert in food or drinks review. All these are only my personal opinion. :)

我爱台妹's 珍珠奶茶

I have just tried 我爱台妹's 珍珠奶茶 this evening. Their 珍珠 is quite nice and chewy however, I think it will be perfect if their 奶茶 is more 浓. However, their 奶茶 is still worth a try if you do not want to drink the dilute-till-it-taste-like-water 奶茶 from places like Sweet Talk. The only problem with 我爱台妹 is that there is only 1 outlet in Singapore I think.

Koi Cafe's 珍珠奶茶

If you have been around, you will definitely know about Koi Cafe and it's super duper long queue. How bad is the queue for Koi Cafe? On average, I will have to queue for 15 mins and wait for another 15 mins to get my order. Sigh... Scary queue... I have to get used to the fact of "Where there is good food (drink), there is a queue."

Anyway, I personally prefer Koi Cafe's 珍珠奶茶 over 我爱台妹's. Mostly because Koi has better tea than 我爱台妹. Koi Cafe's 珍珠 is about just as nice as 我爱台妹, only smaller.

蓬莱阁/四季

蓬莱阁 which has changed hands and had its name changed to 四季　still has my favourite 奶茶! The one and only time I tried their 珍珠奶茶, I find that their 珍珠 is not as chewy as I liked. Since then, I have only ordered their 黑砖奶茶. Their 黑砖 is actually coffee jelly, so it helped to impart an additional yummy taste to the 奶茶.

I did notice that the 黑砖奶茶 is not as nice as I remember. I am not sure if this is because of the change of boss. I remembered talking to 蓬莱阁's boss who is a Taiwanese and he insisted on using quality tea for his 奶茶.

If you are looking for quality tea, go try the 黑砖奶茶 at 四季. Otherwise, I think Koi Cafe and 我爱台妹 is not bad also... :)

我爱台妹!

"我爱台妹 台妹爱我 对我来说 林志玲算什么

我爱台妹 台妹爱我 对我来说 侯佩岑算什么"

Hee... I have always love 珍珠奶茶. So I was delighted when my bf brought me to drink 我爱台妹's 珍珠奶茶 today. :D

我爱台妹 is located in Bugis area. I have heard of this shop before but did not have any chance to go there until just now. Basically 我爱台妹 is a small shopfront that sells Taiwanese food, kind of like 士林小吃 that you can find everywhere. The interesting thing about this shop is that the names of the main dishes that they sell are named similar to Taiwanese artists. So you find food names called Selina, Ella, Hebe, 林志零 and 侯佩橙。

Food there taste quite ok. I tried Hebe and Selina and personally, I preferred Hebe which is a Lemon Crispy Chicken Chop. I wanted to try Ella which is Xtra Crispy Chicken Chop but it was already sold out. Next time ba... :D

SD card reader

I can't believe that I am so blur it took me 1yr plus to realise that my netbook comes with a SD card reader... Faint! -_-''''
