New camera, new life!!
Backtrack a little... HQ peeps had a cohesion dinner at Tung Lok Restaurant opposite SAFTI MI last thursday night. Had Ala Carte buffet, so we ordered as much as we could, especially for those limited ones, we ordered the maximum amount. Mwhahah... It was quite a spread, but it wasn't really fun with CO sitting in the same table as us.
Saturday met up with Larry and Winson to go IT Fair. I wasn't surprised at the immense number of people. Larry was aiming to buy a laptop which in the end he didn't buy. For me, though I didn't manage to get a digital camera, I bought it on Sunday - Casio Exilim Z600. Boasting of 6MP, 3x optical n 4x digital zoom, it was what I had been looking forward to buying. Anyway, we proceeded to makan at Pastamania and watched the lame Date Movie. It was really lame enough to be hilarious. Thumbs up=) Over the weekend, bounced into JiaSheng, Darryl, Soon Ming and Kenny. Really very qiao...
Yesterday went to Pauline's house to play mahjong. I lost a few bucks!! Sob sob... Amanda was the ultimate winner followed by Pauline. Monica lost money too... Here are a few pics to show evidence...
The Winners - Amanda and Pauline... Damn!!
The Sore Losers - Monica and Mi... Hai...
Amanda busy counting the statistics... Looks like THE Future Accountant...
THE Future failure accountant... Lol...
Here is a candid video of my nephew in action!! ^_^

First-ever HQ cohesion outing
It was a busy Friday morning, packed with tons of jobs waiting for mi to complete. As I rushed through the piles of work, thoughts of the HQ outing later in the day floated in my mind. What is it gonna be like?? Will the officers have fun totally and not talk about office work at all?? Images of various scenarios began to surface.
Soon enough, it was already 12.30pm. Mi n my bunk mates began to rush to bunk to get changed and be ready. While changing, 2LT Alvin Tay called and said all the drivers (basically the majors, RSM and LTA Jon) were waiting for us already!! We rushed back to our HQ, signed out and sprinted into our officers car. It was like a pandemonium as everyone rushed to hop on to the respective cars they were allocated to. When everyone were ready, the drive to Chevron began. One by one the cars left the carpark and headed to the destination.
Our activity for this outing was bowling. All the HQ personnels, including some going-to-ORD-personnels who joined us, were divided into 4 teams. We had originally planned to play 3 games, but some idiotic Raffles Primary apparently had booked our lanes for 3.30pm slot. By that time, we only managed to play 2 games and a few rounds in the 3rd game. Nevertheless, as prizes had already been set for the top scorer and the top team, results for only the first 2 games were taken into account. This was bad news for 2 of the teams (not including mine) because they only excelled in the 3rd game!! Hee... Anyway, 2LT Alvin grabbed the top scorer honour and won himself of all things a Popular voucher!! Lol... My team was the overall champion and each team member will get a movie ticket each. Well, at least it's better than nothing. Hahah... By then it was around 3.45pm and we headed straight home after that.
I enjoyed myself thoroughly during this outing though I do not like being in this battalion. It was probably due to some wacky friends I made there that helped brighten my life a little. If not for them, I seriously don't know what my life there will be. However, the sad thing is jokers like LTA Inderjit are going to ORD. In fact they had already started clearing leave. Nevertheless, there are still great guys around there, with a gal sergeant just posted back in my unit this week. She seems great. Yahoo!! ^_^
