Chilling Saturday night with ex-Uni mates!

Been meeting up loads with my secondary school mates and my colleagues, but haven't really been able to spend some time catching up with my university school mates!

So about 1-2 weeks back, on a Saturday, a few of us decided to just go grab some drinks and have a chit chat! Left the home at around 12am plus...so not much places were available for us! Hence, we went to Cafe Iguana for some Margaritas~

And after drinks was some sinful prata supper! Arghh...I'm seriously growing fat! But......I know I can blame no one but my non-stop munching mouth~ (o.O) *nom nom*

Looking back and Moving forward~

(That's gonna be me soon..no more running about but just totally desk-bounded! =p)

Today marked my last day in Deloitte and Touche LLP, a company where I've started my career upon graduation since 2007. Everything was unsure as a fresh graduate back then, and I recall how all of my fellow colleagues, still so young and energetic, went for our core training as well as our very first audit engagement!

In just a blink of eye, 2 years plus have passed and I got promoted to Audit Senior. While there has been some unhappiness (mainly due to sucky managers, who fortunately have left the firm for good and so wun be torturing my colleagues), most of the time has been enjoyable, particularly so because I had a very awesome batch of colleagues! And it gets tough to just turn away and leave without wanting any feelings attached cos' bonds have been built and I just totally enjoy their company! Cos' we lunch, we drink and we laugh together! All that coffee-breaks I'll definitely miss too!! No more off-peak parties together, no more AGM together, no more annual GFSI gatherings in future...but I just hope the friendship will go on...

So here I am, after much reminisces, I shall make full use of the upcoming 1 week plus to rest, to recharge, and to prepare myself for the next job! There will definitely be unease and worries, but I guess these are just part and parcel of life as we go through career moves in our lives!

And I remember starting this blog because I wanted to jot down every single step of my Pursuit of my very own life's beauty! So here's to another step! A significant step for me...and I pray it'll be good! So to start off this step, Bella has decided to go on a short trip to Bangkok soon and may all things start great after I'm back from my trip next week with April babe and Lynette!

Meanwhile guys, pray for me that everything's gonna go well for my new job and will indeed be a right career move taken! And till then, I am so gonna spend my days playing and resting! Huhoo~~~~~ (^^)

Aglio Olio~

Great place to recommend!!! This place sells really nice Aglio Olio...and so it should not come off as much of a surprise that the name of this pasta place is called "Aglio Olio"! It's situated at Temasek towers =)

Last week, Yujia, Edward, Keah Meng and I went to have our lunch there! And I just totally enjoy the chicken wings as well as my Extra Spicy Prawn Aglio Olio there!!!Yum Yum!

(Foodie! Didn't take pecktures for the delicious wings though~)



(Candid of the guys~)

Lunch @ Harry's

This may be considered as one of the farewell lunches...courtesy of one of my department's best manager - Agnes Cai! Hoho~

We had one of our lunches at Harry's @ Temasek Towers yesterday (20th Oct 09)! Though I've been to Harry's quite a few times...but it was mainly just for drinks after work! Never had lunch there and surprisingly the food is still quite alright~

And yes I'm so gonna repeat this closing statement for quite a few times more...and that is...I'm so gonna miss these bunch of awesome colleagues! (T_T)

KTV session with DT-ians

It's been quite some time since I last went for a KTV session with my colleagues! Not to mention the fact that I haven't met up with Miss Xianie for quite some time as well!

This is probably my last KTV session with the peeps as really colleagues cos' if I haven't announced it as yet, Bella is taking a further step in her career and will be leaving Deloitte next Tuesday (27th Oct 09)!

Well so anyways, though it was just the few of us, we still enjoyed the singing session pretty much!

We left the place at around 10 pm plus after 4 hours of singing! Tired but pretty satisfied!Hmm...when will I be able to sing with these wonderful peeps? (>.<)

BBQ @ East Coast Park on 10th Oct 2009~

(Attendees of the BBQ!)

By courtesy of Fang, all of us had a very enjoyable BBQ session on the 10th Oct! Yep...this is quite a long overdue post...all cos of my rather busy schedule! heh heh~

Thanks to the morning rain, we manage to have a sunny and pleasant afternoon to start our setting up of the BBQ pit! That evening's BBQ pit was shared by 2 groups of friends, Fang's friends and her brother's! So true to "the-more-the-merrier!" =) And it all happen at pit 22C!

(The lucky pit to have us around =p)

While waiting for the rest to arrive, the few early birds settled down for a few rounds of Texas~

(Thanks to the mat brought by Fang's bro~)



(Mi, Sandra and Fang~ )

Xiaowan and Ben arrived shortly with the rest of the stuff and their doggie! There was also some attempts at kite-flying...and though it eventually took off, it was not long before it got stuck on a tree~ (-.-)

(Trash-bags gals...haha!)

(Returning after failed-attempts to fly the kite~*gua gua*)

(And the boys succeeded~There you go Mr. Kite!)





(More pics of the ladies~)

Not long after, the BBQ started!!! And it's yum yum yum to all the food!! *hiak hiak* drools~

(BBQ pics~)

And then it was time for cake-cutting cos' one of Fang's bf's guy fren (Ben Siah) just recently had his birthday, so the guys decided to have a belated birthday celebration for him!

(HaPpy Birthday!)
