Time flies. I’m still where i am, but doing something different. The first week of work was over, nothing as drama as what i see myself in the first day of work back in 2011. Of course i learnt and still learning.

Shall not do a recollection of my 2011, since it’s already over. But sharing some of the photos taken in Dec, when we went for a family trip to Batam.

We got the deals from deals.sg for 2D1N stay in Harris Batam Hotel.@ $68/pax

Inclusive of ferry, 1 breakfast, 1 lunch buffet and 1 afternoon tea + room stay

3 December 2011

10.30am ferry to Batam Centre

my aunts joined us too

we had our check-in at 12. only 1 of the 3 rooms were ready, so we left our stuff there before heading out for lunch.

Lunch + walking around Megamall.

so we went to hypermart after that.

we arranged for Isabella Massage House to pick us up from Hotel Lobby at 2pm. Alighted at the shop that is just a road from Nagoya Shopping Mall, before returning at 430pm for our massage.

They rushed to the hypermart while me and my sister went shopping around. Apparently the exchange rate is the mall was so much better than the ones we changed in Singapore. My aunt and father were constantly changing more money there. We visited the money changer 3 times in a day! and another 1 time the next day! things are relatively cheaper there, so that explains more buying and shortage of $$. With the better rates theyhad there, it just encourage more buying.

We only reached the spa house at 5pm, due to slow check-out counters. Pre-booked our spa package before we went over so it saved us some time from choosing. Paid up, deposit all the groccesies in their storeroom, proceed for our massage.

Isabella House send us for our dinner at a well-known seafood place. Food was average, with mostly locals. S$48 for 6 pax.  And they pick us up at the agreed time back to harris hotel for the night.

Day 2:

Some of the pictures from yesterday evening to night.

my colleague cum Senior.

MBS is right behind.

and the night view. Reminds me of the SGP F1 race.

the flash is not doing any justice to the night view.

after 3.5 years in school, beside learning the what was taught in the course. Made some friends that went through thick and thin together. From the horrible school administrative matters to how difficult “consolidation” is. I believed everybody who went through this module cant agreed more with what i said. Despite all these we “MADE IT” and finally graduate from SIM_RMIT.

These were the not chosen photos. And We get to keep it. In all we ordered one 14R, one 8R and two 5R photos. All will only be ready in 2-2.5mths time.

Agnes b having 20% off this weekend!

And finally coffee club for dinner/ supper.

Got the soft album developed at peninsula plaza yesterday! I hope the result will be good.

Last minute decision, We left for malaysia in the late afternoon for seafood feasting! Yeah! Yummy Dinner with my mum & sis.

Okay there’s also mee hoon not taken in the pics. All these photos don’t do much justice to the food, it’s really good! The best part was all these cost only RM64, equivalent to S$9.30/pax. How freaking cheap is that? Can u believed it we wipe out everything and left the place at ard 6pm.

Headed towards KSL City that is jus a walk away. Though I been there many many times despite it was only opened recently in dec, the food varieties is awesome! They have Taiwan bubble tea (RM4), swensen ( ice cream: Buy One get OnE free- RM7.30) think of sticky chewy choco, yesh I have a scoop of that with wafer cone!! Lots of good food deals can be easily found there! Of course they have pizzahut, kfc there as well! Swamped with lots of Singaporean I feel, given that its so near checkpoint as well. So no more always city square, KSL is equally good! Their tesco super mart is opening in may, so an added reason, why I foresee we will be there quite often too!

Not forgetting the buys! Together with my sis we each got a pair of shoes from Summit, as they are having 10% off. S$25 for a pair of working heels, it’s so hard to resist!

And I love my block new lift that finally stop at every floor, no more stairs walking everyday!

the Kushin-bo date. my sis and her oriental top bought online!

the crabssss..

and the hourly special-baked lobster

and we left for “chun dao he pan”.

and MBS is right behind

终于拜年了。。。

most pics are in the camera, that are still sitting at my grandma’s place. so shall make do with what i have in my phone first.

除夕

Knocked off at 3.30pm, thanks to the month end closing that falls around cny period! It’s so sad to be working on this special day, u know! Chiong home to pack my luggage for the 4nights stay at my grandma’s place & lugged away tonnes of things over with my sis!  of cos we helped in some cny decoration for the house before we leave! It has been tradition that we stay at our grandma’s place since 除夕 until the night before (for school/work)

初一

Was spent at my grandma’s place as usual. we serve, talk, eat and sleep!( what’s new!) Just that i received alot of pathetic red packets that are only worth 4 bucks. i thought the economy has picked up? no?!

初二

lesser guests, so we had more time for ourselves! which is so good! And my family went  Kushinbo for dinner, yesh i treated them!

we had plates and plates of this crab, that my mum said 我们真的吃够本了！

The total bill was scary-$200 plus for 4 pax! Plus the fact that my mum did not bring her IC to be entitled for the senior citizen discount of 10%, i told her to compensate me for my loss, which obviously she didnt pay me in the end lah!

our first time eating out together on a chinese new year, our first reunion dinner i supposed! my dad’s treat the next family outing, he promised! Which is good, cos he never treated us before, so 猫!

The night don’t just eneded with Kushin-bo, we went over the marina floating platform for the annual 春到和河畔。 which was so boring! so MARINA BAY SAND we went. It’s so cool & so much better than resort world i feel! lots of shops and shops to shop! <3 my mum was so fascinated with the casino, claiming that it’s so alike to GENTING’s resort world! HA!

初三

went out for movie! yeah贺岁片 to complete the new year，! homecoming-笑着回家. This show realy no plot de, it’s funny lah, just laugh and laugh, It’s like paying 10bucks for you to laugh & temporarily destress yourself! Well it’s kinda of expected given it’s a local production. I must say KAREN NEO is so pretty! and the malaysia’s acent by ah niu!

初四

we finally went visiting for the new year!with my aunts & sister.

初十

i got myself an iphone with the ANG BAO money collected this year! i’m sucha IT idiot, iphone just freak me out! And movie again- All well ends well, 家有喜事. i like cny movies, however the plot are usually compromised lah! But it just adds to the CNY mood!
