Report - ROM on 20 March 2009

For the past month I have been through a tough military training...
This is my progress reoprt, Roger SIR!
Preparation for ROM is more or less settled.
1. Booking at Peony Jade is confirmed with $300 deposit paid. Remaining $1000 over will be paid on the day.
2. I have also contacted our solemniser. We will sign the consent form.
3. Remember to present to ROM on 17/03/09 as per stated in the Acknowledgement notice.
4. Invitation to our guest is also sent out and all of them have replied with a "Yes". There are altogether 14 of them and a baby sitting at the same table.
Su Teng, Hon Choong, Kok Pun, Yee Siang, Peter, Siew See, Joanne Teoh, Shin Yee (W), Evelyn, Xiao Qing (W), Janice & baby, Benny (Photographer), Ren Hui and Chee Seng.
Our family members will sit at another table. There are also 11 persons.
Dorby, Miao Miao, parent x4, Margaret, Esther, Gina, Yin May and Chuan
If you decided to invite Lye Ping, Yan Leong, Ren Hui's wife + baby & Man Woei, we will open another table and order a la carte. Then we will shuffle the people again to fit 10 per table...
5. Ring Ring Ring... Haven't bought yet. Let's follow our plan to search for a suitable pair in KK or KL. I also need a bouquet of flower. Thinking to get something like these...

6. Just booked Aloha Changi from 19/03/09 - 21/03/09. I believe the bigger ones already snatched by the members. So Biggin Hills Terrace is OK la...

Report ended, ROGER!

Fetter Bär in der Tätigkeit wieder (in action again)

I enjoyed seeing the fat fat bear every morning. His position changed and he looks funny everyday. He makes me laugh.

Last night I attended my friend's wedding dinner at Noble House Restaurant, UIC Building. This is one of the restaurants under Tung Lok Group. It was very good. The food was served promptly and very delicious. As usual, the dinner started late at 8.30pm but it ended quite early at about 10.30pm. Our table, all the Sabahan, finished everything. The place might not be as grand as a hotel afterall we just want the guest to enjoy, right? I think we can more or less settle on this. Let's book 15 tables (minimum) once we decided the date.

I put on contact lenses yesterday and also make-up so I look a bit different. I look prettier!!! After the dinner, I took bus home. When I passed by the kopitiam downstair, the tauke niong stunt and praised, "Wah... Hou leng wor..." My heart was like, Hahaha... Hopefully next time can get discount when I buy food from her :p

When I don't smile, I look funny...

A group of us went out for dinner recently and took the following pictures. We tried the new japanese version of Marche at Raffles City. It's called Shokudo. The concept is exactly the same Marche. Food is so-so but the place is quite smoky. After dinner, we had ice cream at Ben & Jerry. I got my increment in Oct '08 so I bought ice cream :)

Best gift in Singapore is Malaysia's Pewter

I have a colleague leaving us and move on the another assignment in USA. As usual, people getting him a gift as a souvenir or as a token of appreciation. Our project group bought him a Pewter from Royal Selangor. Coincidently, his original functional group also bought him a Pewter from Royal Selangor.
So there is this saying, "The best gift we can get in Singapore is a Pewter from Malaysia".

Malaysia Boleh!

Where can we go in Singapore?

In March we need to bring our parents ard. The best is if we have cars. Most likely renting one that can fit 6 persons. We will be staying near Changi Ferry Terminal (near the sea) which is very near to the airport. Some of this places I have not been to.

Possible places that we can go
1. Sungei Buloh Wetlands and lim chu kang
2. Southern Ridges along the bridge
3. Tanah Merah Club via Changi Coast Road
4. Bintan/Batam one day tour
5.Labrador Park
6.Pulau Ubin
7.Sentosa
8.Marina Barrage
9. Terminal 3 to eat lunch or dinner
10. Keppel Island
11. Go Punggol for seafood or Defu Lane 10
12. Desaru and JB

Tentatively the plan is,

Ung zai's parents will drive here from KL so that we can use the car in Singapore for that 2 days.
Ung zai fetch parents from JB CIQ around noon time. You can have all the Bakuteh you want before re-entering small island. Meet my 3rd sister at Kranji MRT. She's coming from Senai... Poor thing haha..

Meanwhile Miao Miao off work and meet parents at Changi. Flight from KK touch down at about 1.30pm. I'll bring them to T3 for lunch.

After dinner go do some shopping in Pasir Ris. I think we need to buy breakfast for the next few days.
