i wanna watch the chronicles of narnia: prince caspian (releasing on 29may 2008) and i wanna watch prom night (horror & thriller movie, releasing on 5 june 2008)............


usually i have to eat alone on wednesday as my colleagues have yoga classes during lunch time every wed.....but now i'm having lunch with two of the ntu interns here....happy to see someone around my age...there will be a fire drill in my company later....wonder what will the fire drill be like....kinda looking forward to it but it also means having to climb the stairs from level 19 to level 1...ahhhhhhh...we can't take the lifts as they will shut down the lift to prevent people from cheating....lol...they are smart...


btw...i'm not going to nyp graduation night as i will be collecting my certificate when i'm free....i have already taken too many leave....don't wanna take any more leave especially when there is a program going on......those who are going...please enjoy k! :) sorry that i can't take photos with you all....i will use photoshop to add myself in...wahahha

I have some good news…I can now eat rice & suishi and many other food….yummy….dentist told me to chop up all my food during the first week but I am very reluctant and unhappy to do so…was angry with myself for not trying to chew so I started eating porridge, then soup, then rice, fishballs, grapes, and now I can put the whole sushi into my mouth…although the front teeth are still weak, I can now chew using the back teeth…..still not sure whether putting braces is a good choice coz I din extract any teeth…but I just hope my teeth will be a little straighter…..


jessie said that braces are scary and so I wish to blog about the entire process of putting bracesà firstly, I have to take two x-rays, they call it lateral ceph + panoramic x-ray…which means the front x-ray and side x-ray….secondly, I have to make a study model of my top and bottom teeth…they will use something soft to make the study model…..i dislike making the study model as I can feel I am choking coz the model is kinda big for my mouth…..this is the only part that I am afraid of….thirdly, the dentist cleaned my teeth before putting some extension to my teeth….to prevent me from biting properly….just imagine…hair extension to teeth extension…..but it can’t be seen as it is the same colour as my teeth….the fourth step is gluing on the ceramic braces and then the wire…..and the whole process is done….i saw the dentist holding a big tweezers…or what they call it…..but it’s in fact used to cut the wire only(outside ur mouth of coz)….lol…..please don’t be frightened by what you see…your eyes can lie sometimes….p.s: there is no injection or anything so you would feel any pain during the whole process…..the pain comes later at night…..i would describe the pain as muscle ache in the teeth/gum and it kept me awake for the whole night till 3a.m…but its for the first day only….. this is what happened in my case but my cousins were unable to eat rice for quite some time…..maybe becoz they extracted their teeth

took two days leave from work....went to mt elizabeth medical centre to put braces yesterday.....i decided to put on braces as my bottom teeth is crooked and my cousin xin mei will also be putting braces......and of coz there are pros and cons of putting braces...initially i was horrified of going to the dentist but when i went there for consultation, the dentist told me that most of the patients there did not extract their teeth when they put braces.....and although he said there might be a chance that i have to extract my teeth, he is willing to try to put the braces on without extracting the teeth....that is kiv...keep in view. so i booked an appointment yesterday and went to put braces.....my appointment was at 11am but i waited till 11.30am.....then went for the x-ray, followed by photo-taking, then created a study model, cleaning of teeth and finally putting of braces......it is really not as bad as what other people described the process to be.....the braces are glued onto the teeth and there is no injections required to soften the gum.....everything was completed after 2 hours and i must say that it is really not as scary as i thought......dentist is very skillful and he will always tell me what is the next procedure and this allowed me to have mental preparation.......perhaps i'm willing to put braces is because i do not have to extract my teeth now...but i really hope that i do not have to extract my teeth too in the future.....pray hard.....pray........the dentist described the pain as muscle ache in the mouth......and i rewarded myself with an ice-cream which i bought from paragon after putting braces.....haha....i guess the aching effect is still tolerable in the morning but when it is nightime, i start to feel more pain from my teeth.....i couldn't sleep yesterday and i only managed to fall asleep at 3am.....and the first thing that i thought of when i woke up is.......FOOD! i kept thinking of sushi, pizza, etc.....omg....i can't eat them for the time being but i really hope i can eat them soon.....dentist said that my speech might be affected for one week but in my case i can still talk normally.......and i was angry with myself for not being able to bite onto certain food e.g bread or fruits......i din want to give up and thus i tried chewing on a banana.....and found out that it is painful and not possible to do that.....although the dentist said that most patients will only be able to eat normally after 1 week, and in some cases longer than that, i was trying hard to do the impossible....lol....am i too harsh on myself or do i want to create a miracle?hmmm....i really hope that i can chew like the past after a few days....or else i will be missing out of the good food in singapore....ahhhhhhhh......i can't live without a scissors......anyone who is interested to know more about braces can click on this link: http://www.braces.com.sg/index.html

today was the last day of work for regina and senior manager treated us to Min Jiang restaurant at one-noth No.5 Rochester park Singapore 139216.......food was very yummy and i love the place....dim lightnings with romantic ambience.... visit www.goodwoodparkhotel.com for more information.....this is what my senior manager emailed us(7 of us) after the lunch-->

Dear Folks,
Thanks for the lunch get-together just now.
It is not common for us to have such a time together.
Hope you enjoyed the food.
This lunch is on me (cos I have got a big fat bonus in rupees... ha! ha!...).
Only once in a lifetime... no more second time.

Have a good day!
omg....he is always so generous and encouraging to everyone.....p.s: he is a super good boss....

went for mother's day celebration yesterday.....all my relatives went too....we went to Bather's cafe and restaurant at sunset way, clementi arcade......the ambience is very romantic with dim lightings and beautiful decorations....having dinner with them is somehow stressful....coz they will ask about studies, work ,etc.....one of my cousin graduated from jc last year but he is still unable to get a place in ntu/nus/smu....it's really tough and yet my fifth uncle kept on asking him to get into local uni and kept on saying that he could retake the exams if he did not meet the requirements.....and he even repeated it for three times.....sian....this is what happened to the eldest cousin....as for another cousin, my fifth uncle was so angry and disappointed that she applied for polytechnic and my fourth uncle(her dad), even told her that he will not pay for her education if she ever decided to study overseas......lol....that is like forcing her to go into jc.....but after few weeks of studying at jc, she decided to study at polytechnic, pursuing a course she likes.......it's horrible when many of the uncles and aunties keep asking about your results, comparing results and insisting on studying at jc, then local university.....i'm the second eldest in the family and i am the first one who chose to go against their will and chose poly instead of jc....and it's really stressful when relatives start commenting about negative stuff about poly, etc....so i'm really happy when i finally graduated from nyp and i will be studying at sim soon.....congraz to ppl who can get into ntu, nus or smu....coz this are really good schools.....i'm not really disappointed when i can't get into smu as my gpa is not really good as compared to others but i have already tried my best....i am still deciding whether to take business management/business (marketing) in sim.....my fifth uncle does not really like me studying at sim but he will definitely nag at me if i decided to stop studying after poly......he still thinks that private university are no good but i can't get into the course i want in local uni so at least now i'm studying the course i like in sim.....that is the path i choose and i will not regret it, even if it means not getting a good job/lower pay......coz i believe that i will be able to overcome all the obstacles and get a good job....i've always thought that family gatherings are supposed to be lively and fun...but instead, it is always very tense and scary when relatives start telling you what to do in the future.....it's so irritating as i like to plan my future myself.....and we(me and my cousins) are not robots where we have to go jc then uni then get a good job, buy condominums and cars, branded bags and clothes, then marry and have kids.....life like that is so boring if we ever decided to listen to my fifth uncle......he is the youngest uncle and yet highly respected by everyone as he is the richest in my family too....i know he is rich and successful but why must all the adults treat him differently from the others?ahhhh......enough of all this complaining and stressful stuff.....i just want to emphasize that my father's relatives are very different from my mother's relatives....my mum's relatives are very supportive and always encouraging us to study hard and try our best, and won't never force us to do something against our will......how shall i describe it? its just like my blood pressure will go up when i meet my dad's relatives and my blood pressure will go down when i meet my mum's relatives.....zzzzzzzzzz

keeping in touch with the business news-->

In a knowledge-based economy, the biggest hurdle for small and medium enterprises in Singapore is no longer about obtaining financing, but generating the next big thing that will have investors and customers alike pounding on your door.
According to the latest 2007 SME development survey by DP Info, financing is no longer listed as a top concern for SMEs in Singapore. This is in no small part due to the availability of financial products customised to meet the needs of SMEs.
Working with financial institutions, SPRING Singapore the enterprise development agency provided 3,600 loans totalling $716 million to SMEs via the Local Enterprise Finance Scheme (LEFS) and the Loan Insurance Scheme (LIS). The LIS is expected to catalyse a projected total of $3 billion worth of private sector loans over the next four years.


Innovation for all SMEs
R&D is not just the domain of the high-tech sector. SMEs outside of the high-tech sector, such as those in F&B, can also benefit from investing in R&D as well. This is evidenced by the success story of the popular Waraku chain of Japanese restaurants owned by More World Systems Pte Ltd.
More World Systems was the first in Asia to leverage on R&D to develop 'faster pasta' - or pasta that cooks in a mere 15 seconds, compared to the usual 10 minutes. This has cut down waiting time for customers significantly and propelled its popularity and growth.

Sold my N73 handphone and bought Nokia 5610…I had to pay another $100 + the price of the phone as I wanted an early upgrade of plan…..total price=$168(student plan + special promotions for nokia 5610 that week)….i’m super happy when I saw the student special….as I have to pay only $168 instead of $200+/ $300+ with contract if I had bought it another day….sold my 1 year old N73 for $200 at bukit merah…..the trade in price at Nokia centre is only $150…….
