Chris' corner: May 2007

18 May (Fri), celebrate close friends birthday

As I was not working, went to Suntec to buy flowers for the two birthday gals. Panic when I saw the florist gone. Then I told myself Suntec so big sure got at least one florist. Searched high and low, looked at the information board, finally saw there are two. Went to the one which is at the same level as Swiss Culture (the restaurant we will be going for dinner). So the florist had moved there instead (aiyo never tell me hee). Bought two Sunflowers and went to Swiss Culture. Gave them the flowers to keep and gave them instruction on the cakes. Gave them the little "happy birthday" which I did myself. Told them to put in the cake with candle.

Everyone arrived at the restaurant, we ordered our food. Take fotos as usual of our food haha

Our beer

Calamari for sharing

Chicken wings for sharing (just nice 5, each one piece)

After dinner, I waved to the waitress to bring out the surprises. The waitress brought out the sunflowers. The 2 gals shocked.

The 2 birthday gals. Same day at the end of the month.

Second surprise, the cake with the happy birthday sign on it.

Making their wishes

Hope the gals have enjoyed themselves. I like to give surprises, always make pple happy :)

Grasshopper Concert, 19 May (Sat)

Went to Singapore Indoor Stadium for Grasshopper Concert on Sat (19May). So long never go concert liao, kinda excited heee. Took some photos.

The Stage from where we were sitting

The zoom-in stage

Us with the ceiling and crowd behind

Us with the Stage behind. A couple came and asked if this is row 25, I said ya but this is T01. End up we sat at the wrong place, we sat at T40 hahahaha

Taken this at the correct seat (T01, Row 25, Seat 11-15). Better seats wor heeeheee

Lighted our light sticks once the light switched off

Everyone had theirs lighted up, and waving. Oh ya, lots of screaming too (the ones sitting beside me screaming as well :p)

The concert was converse in Cantonese, sang in Cantonese. As I only know a little bit about cantonese, I'm totally lost in my own world. Watching the crowd standing up and dancing. Looking around me enjoying the atmosphere.

Concert started at 8.30pm and ended around 11.45pm. We left the place and as usual there were so many cars, so we took our time to walk out and then we saw some pple waiting outside the back. We guess they must be waiting for grasshopper to come out, so we also went to wait. The wait was worth it I think, as one of the grasshopper came out and threw mouse pads to the crowd. One of the mouse pad landed beside me, a lady was rushing to catch it but when she saw it landed beside me she stopped. So I turned around and there it was, really just right beside me. So I picked it up and passed to Von.

My last day at work today (16may)

One month passed so so fast, today is my last day (oops should be was). First thing in the morning, still busy teaching the temp gal. Busy busy busy, issue after issue, with the audit coming soon, everyone is checking on things. Well, so settled everything as much as I can, help in whatever ways I can.Then it was near to 5.30pm, suddenly the marketing team appeared in front of me. One mgr made a speech, thanking me and stuff. Then boss made her thank you speech too and presented the card and gift to me. All the while I was smiling and nodding (kinda paisei). Then the mgr who was standing next to me, hugged me. After hugging her, I hugged my boss and my tears started. It so paisei, once I started, cant stop. Then hugged a few other colleagues. It has been almost 7 yrs, sure will have feelings.

After I got home, I read the card they wrote for me. While reading, I got emotional again but at least I din cry liao. The team gave me a $200 m1 vouchers (will be getting myself a new HP heehee). My boss gave me an additional $50 taka vouchers.
