It's an OCBC day!

It's the first appt I went to since I'd joined, and it's at Orchard.
First, it was Sophia... but I was talking to my customer, so I din manage to talk to her.
When sending my customer off, I bum into Tongli at the escalator. While chatting with Tongli, I saw Simon from the corner of my eyes.

After that, I proceed to MRT station, and saw Mei Ling. While talking to her, I saw Charissa!

In less than 1 hr, I met 5 OC (and ex-OC staff). Unbelieveable!

Melbourne Trip 之 Philip Island 必看

第一次接触·企鹅
天不作美,傍晚时分,天降甘露。为了看驰名以久的 penguin parade,我们只好冒雨等待。耐心等待,终于看到第一只小企鹅左摇右摆的走向我们。不久,便看到一大群企鹅结伴回家,让我们惊叹不已。由于企鹅的眼睛非常敏锐,当然也非常敏感,所以禁止一切摄影和照相。

正以为一切就要结束时,看见有个长得俊俏的老外穿着 ranger 的工作服,手上捧着一个不明物体对着我笑。仔细一看,他的手上捧着的竟然是一只企鹅!我走过去问他我是否能摸一下,他微笑说:“go ahead"。我的手触摸到的和我想中的企鹅其实有些距离,不过,感觉却很神奇。听 A 说,看了 penguin parade the 4th time, 这是第一次有机会摸到企鹅,我只能说我们还是幸运的!

值得一提,或许还有企鹅的“择偶条件”。公的企鹅通常会在他们的洞穴外啼叫,吸引母的企鹅来交配。在企鹅的世界中,胖子是抢手货。Calling for all 胖子,Philip Island 才是你的天地。哈哈!

Itinerary for Melbourne Jul 2010

I lost count of the days that I'm here. It's 1/2 way through my vacation.
Everything was great so far, except that Lian is not here, Xian fell sick on the 1st day and that it rained today, (and not missing the fact tat I missed my bf!).

On your mark, get set....

Too many hiccups.

First it was Lian's mum who was hospitalised. Then, it was me getting a new job suddenly and unable to get my leave approved. Now that the dark clouds are cleared, I tell myself, this trip better be good man!

As soon as I'd gotten mentally prepared for the trip, it's time to be physically prepared too.

Things to bring:
- Passport
- Air Ticket
- Visa
- Ali's toothpaste & CLEO mags
- A book to read: Eat Pray Love
- 2 jackets, a white & a black. was comtemplating whether to bring both, or as per my sis's suggestion, bring the white one and buy another there!
- vacuum bags, in case, i couldn't force everything into tat small luggage of mine.

Things yet to buy:
- hot packs
- prezzie for the nice couple that's gng to take us in for the trip

Things to bring back:
- Lotsa nougats. Tat's Lian & Royston's fav.
- Roy Ge Ge's hair gel (he claimed that it's cheaper there)
- Wine, if poss. since we are gng to the winery.

Wat Am I Reading? >>> Dial 'M' for Merde

This is just 1 of his books in the "Merde" series. Merde is a french slang for crap or shit! So story evolve about a Englishman in France. Not really a romance, nor a thriller in this case. Don't really know how to categorize the book genre.

This book accompanied me through my training days for my new job. I had tests for almost everyday! So it's good that I de-stressed by reading this book. What interest me is the culture differences that Paul (the Englishman) had met and the jokes from his "broken" french. It's hilarious! On the all, it's a light-hearted story, nothing too heavy. Good for leisure reading.


p/s:
Had always wanted to go Europe (esp to Paris). Hopefully euros would stay at this level for long enough for us to go for our honeymoon. (keeping my fingers crossed. & sorry folks, if your clients are still diao in the currency)
