LOST!!

Yesterday I went for an interview @ Joo Koon Crescent, but don't know why I heard the caller telling me it's at Joo Koon Circle, so I took a cab to Joo Koon Circle.

It was a very ulu industrial area where no bus goes in and the nearest bus stop is about 1km away! When I reached there, I can't find the address!!! I got panicked, cos there is so ulu, no cab, no bus in sight, not even cars, only a few ah nei looking at me!!! ANd, I'm late, late didn't go doesn't matter, but now is I can't even find my way out of that place to get a cab or bus home!!!

Ok, never mind, I've decided to walk out to the main road and see if I can find any bus stop to go back to Jurong Point and as I walked, I called the co and tell them I"m lost in Joo Koon Circle. That lady was very nice, she guided me the way to her co. So, I've managed to walk out of that "desert" and reached her co for interview at 3pm. (My appt with her was supposed to be at 2.30pm) For your info, her co also not easy to go, also ulu, also no bus stop within 1 km radius. *faint*, so I walked in to her co and out of her co to take a bus. Can faint, but luckily there will be transport provided.

Yesterday was a very suay (bad luck) day for me. Before I went for the interview, I ran after 941 with my heels, then when I reached JP, as I walked to get a cab, I got scalded by a smoker with his cigarette, then while I'm lost in Joo Koon Circle, I got bitten by mosquito and when I'm about to reach the bus stop at Joo Koon Circle, I missed that bus. After my interview, I ran after that 252 also with many ppl watching me running and yet, didn't got on the bus (cos didn't make it) and guess what, the next bus arrived a few minutes later!!! Aido, like that I shouldn't have run liao lah..... no image man!!!

Ok, today, another interview, Jurong also and need to take the same 252 bus!!! Hope I won't get lost today, but I will taking cab to the co as I can only leave the house after my mum's back.

Pray Hard!!

Facial

Finally had a chance to use my 1st facial from my package which I bought a year ago. I did a diamond peel which cost me 2 slots and now I'm left with 8 slots. Nevertheless, I did enjoy the facial very much and feel my skin so clean now. :P

New Words

Words that Reyna can say:
- Thank you
- soap

Though not many, but I feel she's getting cuter each day. :)

Oh, that day I went for the interview at Comtech? Heng ah, I managed to reach that place safely. I must also thank God, cos that day, I alighted 2 bus stops earlier and it was drizzling, so I heck care and started walking towards my destination. As I walked, the rain gets smaller and eventually stopped, then later when I'm about to reach the lobby, it started pouring again, but I'm safe.

I arrived at 3.30pm, but I waited till almost 4.30pm for my interview, can you imagine? I sat at a very comfortable chair, in a very comfortable environment and I almost fell asleep!!! The interview didn't last very long, ended at 5.30pm and it was sooooo crowded at the bus stop. Luckily my bus came not long after that. Conclusion? I doubt I will get the job and even though I'm selected, I may consider also, too demanding and based on the demand and working hours, my asking pay cannot compensate that man.

Have another interview on Tuesday at Science Park, shall see how.

Interviews

Hiaz, today was a busy day. Went out for half a day with high heels!! Long time never wear heels for so long liao.

I went to Career Trend for interview and later have lunch with Esther, follow by next interview @ Emerson Process. I hope I can get the job at Emerson as it is near my mum's place and the environment is good, but....no career advancement :P But nevertheless, I'm only looking for a job that pays me well :)

Tomorrow still got another interview @ Comtech. Now headache, dunno how to get there..... ULU Place again. Not quite interested in this job as it's a 5.5 days work and it will be at Jurong Island!!!! Superly Ulu and it's long working hours......think the remueration package cannot compensate that man!

Kueh Bangkit

Ok, today a bit free, cos next week I have 1 whole stretch of event the whole week waiting for me. :P I've baked some kueh bangkit for CNY, 4 tubs, 1 for my mum, 1 for Jeanlina and 2 tubs for Mary :)

Did once before, but wasn't very successful as the cookies were not thick enough and kept breaking, so today, I've used a new mould, bought from Daiso to make these cookies and the effects are better.
These are before bake.
And these are baked, just before I remove them from the oven.

This is how I packed it, hope it's nice with the word "Wang"...hahaha.... Hope everyone, my blog visitors, my friends, my relatives and those I don't know, "WANG WANG!!!" This coming year, we all shall have a "WANG WANG" Year!!!! 4D, Toto, Big Sweep, lucky draw...everything "soon soon ah!!" :)

Jobs Hunting

I'm now looking for a job, but on the other hand, I will miss Reyna. Afterall, Reyna has been with me since birth and she's the only one brought up by myself, the other 2 was by my mum. I'm so afraid that I will miss her so much that I starts crying when I start work, haha, but not a worry at the moment as I haven't found a job yet.. :)

With this job searching, I'm going to end my breastfeeding career too. :( it's a sad thing, but I also think it's time for her to grown up. If not, she will be on my breasts always, especially at nite, keep waking up for nei nei. So, I will try to introduce FM to her, though Full Cream milk is better, but bcos she will be taken care by my mum and old ppl's thinking is always, if not BM, will be FM liao. So I guess giving her FM will cause my mum less problem bah. On the other hand, I hope she can be on partial BM if I still can supply her, ie, she will latch on when I'm home and takes FM when I'm at work. Not sure if this will work, it will depends on Reyna herself if she's willing to accept it or not.

My mum told me yesterday that Reyna will be the one I most bu se de, cos I've spent lots of time and hardwork bringing her up, with the sleepless nite, breastfeeding all day long and the lugging her everywhere I go like a superglue to me. I find it quite true, I will definitely miss her, but with me working, I also hope to provide her with a better future and better life.

Update on Reyna

List of words she can say:
- mo (as in zou mo "what")
- book

List of action:
- hold my hands and clap

Hmm, not much of action and words from her except that she keeps hugging her sisters and kissing them, on top of that, when her sisters cry, she will ask me "mo", meaning why they cry...hahaha. so funny

Pineapple Tarts

Finally, I've done with my pineapple tarts..... but I find it too sweet :P will process the filling the next time round.

Last weekend, I went back to JB looking for a makeover (haircut), and guess what, I've spent RM600 on perming my hair!!! My hb's jaws drop when I told him the price :P but over all, the hairdo was nice lah, at least a new look for the new year :P

Jigsaw Puzzle

Hmm, I wondered if Rachel's well behaved is due to the jigsaw puzzle which I did with her for the past few days, she felt that she's been loved and she got our attention.

If that's the case, I don't mind getting her another set of the puzzle since I've enjoyed it too. :)

Next thing I hoped to do with her is.....READING!!!

1st outing with Rachel alone

Hiaz....today I've finally see the beauty in Rachel and that she can actually behave well.

Thanks to Rachel (Ruffybear) & Ralph for waiting for her to finish school and to give us a lift to Seah St. We went to Sun Lik to have a look at the bakery items they have there and I've decided to bring Rachel along, taking this opportunity to bond with her.

After lunch with big Rachel, we proceed to Sun Lik. Initially, I was so afraid that she would go into the shop and starts touching this, taking that and breaking things. So, before I make my entrance to the shop, I told her that if she doesn't behave well and starts her nonsenses, I will leave and go home and that will be the 1st and last trip for her to be out with me. After that, we entered the shop.

In the shop, she was considered quite well behave. She will hold the basket for me and though she will touch abit of things, but she won't try to take it out from the shelf which I think it's ok. She through my stay in the shop she was quite alright and I'm glad I managed to stay in the shop for quite some times and enjoyed my trip there.

When I've done with the shopping at Sun Lik, seeing her so well behaved, I asked if she wants to continue her shopping before we go home and brought her to Raffles City's Robinson. Same thing, before I entered the Robinson, I told her if she misbehaved, we will go home and no more shopping trips with me.

In Robinson, she was well behaved too. Not really that well, but compared to usual, she's so much better. I would say that she had behaved normally like other kids. I'm so glad I can see such improvement from her.

After robinson, she told me she's tired and when I suggested we head home, she agreed to it but as we walked towards the MRT, we still did abit of window shopping lah. :P I saw some clothes in G2000 which I wished to buy, but seeing her so tired, I decided not to buy it first and head home.

On the way to MRT, she asked me if we were taking MRT or bus, so I told her MRT, then she told me that she will sleep in the train then and asked me to wake her up when we reached. I felt that she's so sensible at that moment. But when the train arrived, I told her there may not have any seat for her, then she told me that if that's the case, then she won't sleep and wait till reached home. Well, she was lucky and she got a seat and fell asleep.

After we reached, I didn't come home straight away, I went to NTUC and SKP to buy some stuffs for baking and she's too, still very well behaved.

Well, I must say "Well Done Rachel, you had done well today!!"

Wedding Cupcakes

Yesterday, I had just completed my wedding project. It was a 3-tier cupcakes display. Though the size was not very big, but it was very nice and I love it very much. Here's the picture of it:

I would like to thanks Jeanlina for her help in the floral arrangement and I really love it so much that I feel like having it at my own house.
