dinner with our italian mentors

After almost 2 yrs, we finally met up with our italian mentors again...here in spore! Both Massimo and Daniele were here for business trip. Last night we organised a gathering coz 1) Daniele is flying back to Italy tonight and 2) Massimo had just arrived in spore.

Daniele (the biggest guy) was so sweet! He arrived with red roses, each for a girl. A true romantic for an italian. *sigh* For the guys, he bought a lantern for them to share. Hahas. It was fun having to meet up after so long and to introduce them to our local food. We had a sumptous seafood dinner at No Signboard Restaurant.

wish list

finally, our wish list is out, as requested by my family and relatives.



we welcome any other suggestions if you have thought of other items that are not listed above.

ST 20th Anniversary Dinner @ SUNTEC



yes, as i've mentioned previously, this is the dinner and dance that i was referring to. with my barely recovered toe, i slipped on my heels and went for the dinner. i managed to last for the whole nite, even walked quite a distance around clarke quay for a place to have "dinner" coz i did not had enough at the dnd.




hossan leong and vivian were invited to be our hosts and there were short musical performances. everything was ok except for the table allocation. as this was a dinner for the whole of st in spore, there were about 500 plus tables. tables were allocated randomly and hence we do not know the people sitting around us. for the whole nite, most of us were trying to walk around the big ballroom to look for colleagues and frens to take memorable pics. this was a big minus for the dnd as there is no point in allocating tables randomly in hope of one to mix around during a dinner of about, say 3 hrs? most pp would prefer to sit close to frens and colleagues instead. anyway, managed to find a few frens and colleagues for some pics together.

NATAS 2007




first time went to NATAS fair. this year it is at expo instead of at suntec usually. hubby and i were waiting for this year's NATAS to book our honeymoon. we have decided to visit New Zealand for our honeymoon. thought there will be lesser people today coz its the first day, and somemore its a friday. you would expect most people to be at work right? but no, there are still as many people. dunno why these people do not need to work.






anyways, we booked our honeymoon trip! its seriously not cheap, but, its honeymoon, so..*smile* furthermore, we have heard good comments and reviews about NZ, so NZ will still be a place that we will wanna visit be it this time or in the future.







gave ourselves a little treat at spageddies, marina square. i love their tomato bruschetta! u have gotta try it! i cant say for the pasta though. not fantastic and definitely different from authentic italian way of cooking, at least for the aglio olio. a disappointment.

my poor toe II

felt much better when i was walking around the office today. went home and took off the bandaged immediately. however, my toe is not any better. erhmm, maybe a bit better den before but definitely not ok yet. im starting to get worried dat my bone may be broken. :/



anyways, waipo called and ask bout my toe. now it is bandaged up again with waipo's remedy. mama blended ginger and mixed with cooked rice and applied on my swollen foot. according to waipo, this will help to lessen the swelling. my foot feels really hot now.






i have to say, mama really did a good job in bandaging up my foot. it feels so nice and comfy unlike previously doc mai's bandage. mama say she can go help out doc mai. hahas.

my poor toe

i seriously have no idea what exactly happened, but i found myself on the floor on sun morning. before u start laughing, no, i did not roll off the bed during the night. instead, i did woke up in the morning as usual, i thot i slept late, and in my rush to get up to check out the time from my phone, which was on the dresser the nite before becoz my batt was being charged, i din noe dat my left leg was numb and i juz fell. stoopid rite! and i ended up with a swollen fourth toe. i seriously hope its not broken. should not be. went for tui na and zhen jiu twice, and eating pills to stop the swelling. so suay!




i think i got famous with my bandaged toe, limping around in the office. i tell u, i juz realised that almost everyone in the co has a story bout their fractured limbs, sprained ankles or toes, etc. hahas. i swear, pp start coming up to tell me bout their previous experience with fractures and sprain. but i was so embarrassed when i tell them how i sprained my toe, when i dun even have any idea myself!





best thing dat happened today when i was walking back from the pantry, a colleague (i dunno who she is and i dunno even noe which dept she is from) stopped and asked wat happened. my reply was juz, i fell. the first question she asked was, will u be going to the dinner (my co is have a D&D, for the first time in my 3 yrs there, this sat)? i was like i hope so. then she continued, oh u muz go, dun waste the tics, i wan to see u at the D&D. *sweat.* do i noe her? she talks to me as if we know each other for so long, but being the frenly me, of coz i juz smiled and chatted with her. mayb she was juz being frenly? but i juz had this funny and weird feeling.



anyway, hahas. look wat happened when u go to work with a bandaged toe.
