The SB Temp Team

Back left to right: Jun Ming, Jit Chong, Yong Joo, Thomas
Middle: ME! (THE QUEEN, hahaha...)


Went back to AR campus yesterday(29 May 2008) to visit my friends and my children(Nursery team)...


Am gald that I went back for the visit cos the SB Temp Team whom I had taught them for the cable crash course gonna leave the call center very soon....In fact, it was Thomas's last day @ AR campus....


Was surprised when they asked me to take a pix with them as I really did not have much time with them as they are based at AR campus and under Pauline's care....


Instantly, I felt like a SUPERSTAR lorz.... hahaha....


I am touched by their gesture....



Drop by,to most of my children, to say Hi and am gald they are coping well and enjoying themselves in the call center...and some of them came over to me to have a short chat....


I had always tell Xiao Nu that their such gesture and appreciation are my achievement... It is immeasureable and most fulfilling to me. This is what has kept me going and to do even better in my OJT coaching....





Just wanna say: WELL DONE, BOYS AND GIRLS! I am so proud of ALL OF YOU! For those who had left or will be leaving to pursue your studies/interest, ALL THE BEST and I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER ALL OF YOU....so FORGET ME NOT.....:)

FRIENDSHIP!

Received the below message via sms from one of OJT cross trained. It's pretty meaningful to me hence I am putting this here:

Friendship is Made In the Heart.

Silence.

Unwritten.

Unbreakable by distance.

Unchangeable by time.

Once a FRIEND, Always a FRIEND.

Not everyone think the same as above... I do believe in affinity. Sometimes, if a friendship ended, this means that the affinity between yourself and this friend of yours has reached a "time out" stage... it may continue again... when? I don't know.... it may not continue afterall....

To me. FRIENDS don't have to meet up so frequently and stick like a superglue.... so long we are able to pick up where we left off the last time, this is what i call FRIENDSHIP!

Cancelled Friendster & Facebook account

Birth of my friendster account: 9th August 2007
Death of my friendster account: 25th May 2008
R.I.P

Birth of my Facebook account: cannot remember
Death of my Facebook account: 25th May 2008
R.I.P

Dear all,

Just to notify all that I have officially cancelled my Friendster & Facebook account. (FINALLY!)

In the first place, the reason why i have created a Friendster/Facebook account is because I just want to know how do they work as you know i have kids(mum really need to keep in touch with the latest fad in order to be able to communicate with children/youngsters nowsaday) and not because i wanna prove how many friends i have in this life....

I have always believed that you do not need that many friends to understand you....even if you only have 1 who understand you is good enuff... Duration of time is also not the factor to determine friendship rather the chemistry between 2 persons is the determining factor... Hence, if you feel that you have recently got to know a new friend and you "mo ming qi miao" can really connect with this new friend, go ahead to let that person know.... else, you would end up with regrets... Life is too short to have so many regrets in your life....

HARLEM WORLD TOUR 2008 CONCERT is FINALLY here!

Whoo Hoo..........

I am so gald and happy that I attended this concert of his cos it's the only one in S'pore in his 20 years of singing journey....

Was the first to be at the Entrance Premier....hahaha... never thought that I would be the 1st in the queue wor.... It's another 1st time of mine to watch a concert.... Never been to one throughout my coming to 35 years of my life....Like what my cousy-Joyphine said: "like going after STARS leh"....whahaha.... yah yah yah....

We were damn HIGH! throughout the concert and sang to those songs we know how to sing....Imagine we were so tired and voice was hoarse due to the screaming, clapping and waving throughout the entire concert... whoo hoo.....!!!

HARLEM ROCKS! We were soooooooo soooooooo near him cos our seats are the 3rd row in front of the stage........oh man! Never in our life, we could have imagine that he is so near to us and having watching him at such a close view throughout the entire concert....

Jessie and Li Li were at the concert too but they were at T seats hence unable to get HIGH together with them.....a pity really.... Imagine we were seated together....Woof! the floor will shake too lorz.... cos we ROCKS too!

SMELL OF RAIN!

SINEMA OLD SCHOOL Up
9 flight of stairs...*pant* *pant*
Down



The "SMELL OF RAIN DAY" came....and it's still lingering in my thoughts till now.... hehehe...

Saw this film together with Xiao Nu-Jessie.

Before we could watch this film, we gotta climbed 9 flights of stairs and each flight had 13 steps...so u go and count lah...how many steps in total we climb... aiyo...I somemore is an obasan... climb until out of breath ah... and when we get to the top of the hill, we alreaydy perspire like nobody's business lor...Tomorrow, I shall start my jogging and skipping exercise....

Then, we kinda got lost and dunno how to get to the Sinema tix collection office.... we walked till opposite Sophia Court ah...perspire non-stop again... at that point of time, me and jessie feel like exploding ah...Luckily, we ate a "breadtalk" bread while on the way walking to Sinema ... 2nd luckily is a young girl called Jeannie(dunno if it's spelt this way) who offered to pick us up at the general office of old school so that we would not get lost a 2nd time when i called Sinema again asking for direction of the tix collection office... A BIG round applause to her for being so helpful and kind to offer such ABCD(Above & Beyond Call of Duty) service... *clap* *clap* *clap*.....

Xiao nu said that perspiration is always involved when we wanna do somethings which has Nat in it... Ya ya... I agreed cos the 1st time we get to know him at the charity rehearsal, we also have to perspire alot then now watch his 1st debut film, also have to perspire alot.... *Phew*.....

However, all perspiration is worth it cos it's a good film to catch it.... provided you are a high calibre person who know how to appreciate "arty" film hor....else don't waste your time complaining after you watch it if you don't belong that category....

This film brought back some of my unhappy and happy memories of my childhood and good old school days....*sob* *sob* + *happy :)* *happy:)*

Audio Technica's Blogging Contest!

Dear all,

Saw this blogging contest via NATurally Nat Forum at http://naturallynat.net
The NATurallyNat Family Rocks!

Here's my entry for the Audio Technica's Blogging Contest!

I am someone who is very particular of the ear-phone product which i used. Reason being that i gets migraine easily if i do not use suitable ear-phones when i listen music via ipod or my handphone... so far, i have only used sony ericsson and ipod ear-phones.

As i saw this blogging contest at Nat's Forum, i went to Audio-Technica's website to check out it's product and immediately fell in love with the ATH-CK1 Inner- Ear Headphone. It's so lady-like and i believe all ladies will love it at first sight.... It's a flower style earphone which is developed especially for ladies by Audio-Technica's female development team and it comes in 3 sizes, small, medium and large. The earphones come with 6 colourful flower design storage case; Clover, Hibiscus, Orchid, Pansy, Plumeria & Sunflower. It does have a beautiful container which can be used to put your accessories.

18 May 2008

Was at NLB @ Bugis for a charity event. It's a collaboration between Starhub, NLB and Nickelodeon.... It's a Birthday Bash for the children aged between 5yrs old to 10yrs old. Basically, we helped out to motivate the under-privileged children in the event...sing song together and finally cut the birthday cake.... Though, it's a short 2 hrs event, it's VERY FULFILLING and MEANINGFUL! How i wish i could rope in Charmaine and Aidan and show them how lucky they are and also at the same time, they could do their bits for charity too! My name even appeared in the press release in starhub website: http://www.starhub.com./portal/site/StarHub/menuitem.876159666306d8a8aa494b608324a5a0/?vgnextoid=99301840a0e3c010VgnVCM10000038425a0aRCRD&vgnextfmt=ItemCMId%3A51efecacdbbf9110VgnVCM100000464114acRCRD

quoting me the following:

Ms Anne Loy, StarHub’s Customer Service Team Leader who volunteered for the event and assisted a group of children with making their ‘pirate flags and hats’, said, “As a parent of two young children, I understand how much children love parties. I am glad that I have been able to help out in some small way, and share in the joy of the parents and children present here today.”

hehehe...was very honoured sia... :) Looking forward to the next charity event... Li Li mentioned something about clearing rubbish at a beach.....:)

After the event, Jessie recommended Xin Yuan Ji @ Tan Quee Lan Street to eat "yu rou mee fen".. it's good one lor.... Their lime juice also very powerful one lor... :) Try it! if you need to get full address, send me a comment or email me if you have my email address...

It's such an eventful week! Really enjoyed it!

THIS WEEK!

Went Par Tor today with dear dear and brought him to Xin Yuan Ji to try the Yu Rou Me Fen and he likes it! Jessie - U are rite! He likes it! Hahaha...

A song for BOTH OF US!

Was listening to Daren's album via my handphone in a cab and came across a special song which represents my feelings towards my hubby dearest-Eddie! This song is called: Wo Hui Quan Xin Quan Yi Ai Zhe Ni. Listen to its lyrics... It's really meaningful...maybe not to you but it is to me!
While listening to this song, tears trickled down my cheeks naturally...dunno why but it kind of touches my inner heart...Suddenly memories kept flowing back and it reminds me of all the ups and down both of us had went through for the past 13years of marriage.... Have sent DaRen a THANK YOU message for such a beautiful song he had sang...it really touches my heart!

Here, I would like to THANK my hubby dearest-Eddie for the past 13years of happiness which he had given me (off course got sad one lah but not gonna mentioned it cos happiness superceded sadness!)... Dear Dear, if you happen to read this, THANK YOU for being with me and stood by me and loving me with all your heart even when i can be stubborn(like an oxen) or difficult at times... THANK YOU for trying to make me smile or crack into laughter with some of your clowny act at times when i look sad or unhappy....

Will upload Daren's wonderful songs in my blog once i get the hang how to do it... hahahaha... please pardon this chilli mum for being so computer nerd lah... I am trying my best to catch up with the latest trend which is blogging liaoz....

Sleepless nights....Beautiful Memories!

2 Pretty Moos :)

Post Charity Event Bu-Huay with Lenus & Eunice!

Left: Sonny Daren Middle: Nat Di Di Right: Xin Fu

3 Fabulous Boys and A Chilli Mum!!! Hahaha....

It's another sleepless night... wonder what's wrong with me recently... Just cannot get to sleep... it's just not me... sleeping is one of my hobby you know.... sigh.... eyes are still wide open as at 3:26am!!! OMG!!! Is it because of Kopi Chino....or....sigh.....

Anyway, since i am unable to catch a date with zhou gong now, might as well put some pixes of my recent beautiful memories here then...

Seeing the pixes reminds me of the tiring but fun loving time we had during our rehearsals... no words can describe my current mixed feelings now.... On one hand, i know life still must move on... on the other hand, how i wish time will keep rewinding back the past 3 memorable weeks... It was REALLY an enjoyable time!!!

THK Charity Show!

Finally "THE DAY" came and went like a gush of wind....
4th May 2008 was the THK Charity Show which 11 of starhubbers + 3 Mediacorp artistes(Ben/Daren/Nat) were involved in presenting an item called "Qi Xin He li Chuang Qi Ji" aka Mini Olympic Game... We FINALLY did it and the performance is really excellent! All hard work put in by all of us did not go down the drain though we were kind of demoralised during our last few rehearsals as the "final product" did not turn out too well....Guess the mini olympic game's comrades know what i mean.... Well, team! We should be proud of ourselves for presenting such an excellent performance! Yeah!
Tak Kor, Chin and Chan were watching closely at us nervously and were all so HAPPY + RELIEVED when they saw that the performance is so much better than what they saw during the last few rehearsals...Phew!
Now, there is a sense of emptiness and sadness here cos no more training rehearsals with the Mini Olympic Game Gang...*sob* *sob* *sob* Dearly misses the late nite training....
Can't write anymore cos too sad to continue.....

What a day!

Wanted to write early this morning say about 1am but maxonline was down...shucks!
On 02/05/08, Chin expressed his heartfelt thanks to us for helping out...Am pretty touched by his gesture...Though no tears flowed out as it was done on a quite light hearted way but i believe most of us if not all were touched by his appreciation speech...though he did emphasized that he is not good in giving thank you speech... Chin - if u happen to read this, it does not take a well scripted speech to give a thank you speech... what we want to hear is hearfelt words from the bottom of your heart and i believe u mean what u had said to us that evening... THANK YOU, BIG CHILLI! And you did bother to remember our names too! This is already good enuff...really!

Tak Kor gave us his hotpot restuarant namecard and he even said that he will not forget us though he only get to know us for a few weeks... He is really good in his job...hmm..correction, i should say it's his passion towards media industry... though we communicate like a duck and chicken (he say cantonese and i replied in mandarin), we are still able to communicate...:)

Today is another tiring day but fun cos beside able to see the mini olympic game gang, we saw harlem...whoo.... he is really good....and he waved at US! Oh my god! We waved to his singing and were enjoying ourselves so much! :) We also saw Qin Xiang Lin - oh man...I can still remember that I always watches the taiwanese show with him and Qin han as the male lead. What a nite man! Hmm...am considering going to harlem's concert man...

My basic theory test is coming and i have not yet done my revision...sigh...wonder if i can pass...

My Own Online Journal!!! Finally!

It's been a long long long(power of 10) time that i have written down my thoughts.....



Was having a long chat with xiao nu-jessie to catch up the latest updates in our lives...and had told her that i should start having my own online journal so as to release my thoughts and at least i have a channel to look back what went on in my life when i slowwwwwly age gracefully(hehehe... cannot tahan me rite...)



How should i start? sigh... there is so much to tell....



Suddenly thought of my dear grandma aka po po... it's been long time that i "talked" to her... Am i so busy till i have no time to "talk" to her anymore?...kinda angry with myself...



Recently was roped in by cousin Yawa to participate in a charity event which is gonna screened on this coming sunday,04/05/08, 7pm. Had been attending rehearsals after work for the past few weeks...tired, tired, nothing but tired....



Am gald that i have participated in this event(beside for good cause off course!), as we got the opportunity to meet fabulous guys, namely, BY(my xinfu on set), DT(Sonny Da Ren), NH(DiDi), Chin and Tak Kor... We really had lots of fun during our rehearsals...think at times Chin feels like crushing us i guess...hahahaha...cos we always take loads of pixes every time we are there... This is one of the beautiful memories in my life :)....Will update pixes once Ah Ron consolidated all of our camera pixes..:)



Gotten the opportunity to get to know Xinfu, Sonny Da Ren and NH Di Di during our short short break in the midst of our rehearsals.....



Xinfu - a jovial and ice breaking fellow...

Sonny Da ren - like a mischevious little boy and hope that he will still keep his tong zhen in him

NH Di Di - a boy-next-door guy who is really a thinker(i guess..). He needs loads of choco to raise his happiness homones...



Beautiful moments are always quick to end...We are nearing the showtime date...Wonder if we would still be in touch with those fabulous guys after the show...



Today, we bought a golden retriever puppy(3mths old). Charmaine and Aidan were overjoyed.

They named her "Golden"... Welcome to our family, Golden...:)
