    Bella's Last Day of 2008!



    (Farewell to Zhen Zhou!All the best to you!!)

    On the last day of 2008 (the eve of New Year), just as per on Christmas eve, my company only worked half day. That particular day was also one of our colleague, Zhen Zhou's last day of work in Deloitte. So other then wishing him all the best, we had a mini farewell lunch + KTV session with him right after work.

    We decided to go to the Kbox branch @ Marina Square. As such, we made our way there and settled our lunch @ the Coffee Club there as well. Food wasn't fantastic but still enjoyed the company.

    Right after our lunch, we made our way to Kbox. And as usual, upon stepping into the room, we started singing right away! Hahax...and it was a full 4 hours singing session till 6pm as we attempted to close the farewell session by singing "Zu Ni Yi Lu Shun Fung" to wish Zhen Zhou farewell and all the best! Tried 2 attempts and both attempts the Kbox waiter kept coming in to disturb! Hahax...but at least the 2nd attempt was more successful! Keke...Still we had great fun during the whole singing session and bid farewell soon after we left Kbox.

    (Final pic before we left...)

    I rushed over to Vivocity to meet Dar cos' we were suppose to meet for movies. We went to watch "IP Man"! Super nice movie!!I love it! But before that we went over to the hawker centre just opposite Harbourfront where one of Dar and my favourite oyster omelette and hokkien mee are sold. Left some space in my tummy for my popcorns of course!!Heh heh...



    (My Poppy-cons!!)



    (While waiting to get into the cinema!)

    By the time our show ended, it was already 1130pm...just half an hour away from countdown. We initially planned to join in the Vivocity countdown after our movie, but upon seeing the crowd, we gave up and headed home cos' both of us are quite scared of all the crowd...gives us headache!hahax...and end up...we did our very own countdown in the train! keke...Dar went back home and cook us a little pasta supper after we bathe! Comfy @ home when all the rest must still be squeezing and making their way home...guess we both didn't regret turning away and heading home slightly earlier! Hmm...but someday...maybe I should try to join in a countdown again...or else feels as if I'm really getting old!!hahax...someday!=p

    Christmas Post 2 - w GFSI Assistants!



    (Group pic!)

    On 27th December 2008 (i.e. the past Saturday), my department assistants decided to have a post Christmas celebration. While it was initially planned to be @ Dickson's house, it was subsequently changed to Yujia house. Fortunately my Daddy drove me to Yujia's place that day...cos' if not I guess I'll have a uber hard time finding the place!!Lolx...Ulu place in Bella's limited street directory! Lolx...=p

    Anyways, reached Yujia's house too early and ended up sitting by the pool waiting for someone to appear @ Yujia's place so can accompany me in the waiting!!Lolx...fortunately after around 15 mins of waiting, Stephanie and Sarah appeared! We managed to at least go in to Yujia's house to sit down and wait...all thanks to her sister who was @ home. Slowly more and more people came...and from the initial plain watching of television programmes, we proceeded to respective games when more people arrived. Some fo us formed mahjong kakis while others played charades etc. It's was mainly to kill time cos we were still waiting for Desiree and Dickson to reach cos Desiree was cooking pasta @ Dickson's house before they will bring it over!



    (Mahjong in progress...)

    Once Desiree and Dickson arrived, we all diverted our attention to the huge amount of food!!Yummy!!Pork knuckles, ham, roasted chicken, squid ink pasta, uber big pizza, loads of dessert pastries, mudpie, booze and soft drinks all ready for our attack!!Hahax...




    (Some random pics taken...)






    (Some of the food...didn't snap quite few like the ham, mango roll etc...*drools*)



    (The year one assistants with me and Sarah!)



    (The ladies...)



    (Sarah and the guys...hahax...)

    After a great session of food, we carried on with our games! Lucky Bella managed to win some SGD18.40 with the help of my Mahjong Shi-fu Stephanie!!Lolx...then after Mahjong, it was resting time for the few of us while the rest carried on crazily with their charades. And with much fear that the food could not be finished, Ms. Desiree started her *evil* pushing of food to everyone...by all means!!Lolx...To clear booze, it was by some card games! Bella don't usually like beer, but fortunately there was this Irish Cider that they bought which was still acceptable for me.



    (3-ppl posing pics...lolx)



    (Charades in progress...)



    (Left: Norman, HG, Hoe and Ravern)
    (Right: Quek and me...)



    (And Bella "ta" for Yogi cos' he lost in the card game and I need him drive me home...Lolx!)



    (And Norman gets bored and starts loving himself toooo much...so he started forming his name...hahax)



    (The 4 red-face men...Lolx!)



    (Desiree, Ravern, Me, Yujia and Zhen Zhou!!)

    In the end we managed to finish the Irish Ciders but not the Vibes (if I get it right), which is the other type of beer they bought which Bella totally find it hard to drink down my throat! Mudpie was nice and Desiree managed to stuff some into my mouth before I left...though it was totally out of focus and smack into the surrounding of my mouth too!!Lolx...Anyways...then Yongjie, Norman and me left together cos' Yongjie was driving and so could give us a ride home! Huhoo~~



    (Left: The booze...think there were still quite a lot sitting in the fridge...lolx)
    (Right: The rather nice Irish Cider...)



    (Norman - the garbage collector...muhahah...j/k!)



    (Final pic before we left...Yogi fake dying...lolx!)

    I must say I really enjoy the Saturday night spent with the group!! They're ever so cute and funny...Love them!! It was a very merry post-Christmas gathering! *cheers*
