hmmm...

I dunno what to blog about except for some stuff that happened over the week.
Maybe I should start blogging about the exciting stuff in VivoCity.
Well... work has been pretty good and I enjoy what I m doing. I'm still learning.. everyday. I'm amazed by how much I've learnt in just 2 weeks.
What else should I blog about... ok there was a Creatively Thai 2008 Fashion Show..











VivoCity is a good place to grow fat with all the free buffet etc... What else.... I met a japanese friend during one of the weekday, went to The Shore Restaurant and eM by the river with K... Ahhh nothing else. Its a tiring week. And I didnt have much time to gym. Hence I m still fat..
I can't wait for July to come, thats when my FF membership would turn 1 yr and I will switch to PF.

This whinery is getting boring.. help. Any suggestions how to spice it up?

Working Life

I've been working for like 4 days. And I've been enjoying everyday at work.

On the first day, Subway threw a mini opening ceremony and the management staff were invited for free flow of bread, cookies and drinks =)

On the second day, I met mediacorp's events marketing team and M1's promotional marketing manager.

The third day is the launch of Movie Fiesta.. Again, buffet catered from Siam Kitchen.

Today, the GM called me to his office. My marketing manager was already inside when I walked in. So I guess they have been discussing about the Christmas project which I would be handling.. After the brief meeting, he dumped stacks and stacks of files on my table. From tendering to working with ad agencies to all the SOPs etc etc etc.... And this is on top of my already heavy heavy workload. I step in to office before 830am everyday! And on most days I only leave after 7p.m.

Anyway I want to mention this shop "Red, White and Pure" at VivoCity #03-09. They are selling organic products at a 40 - 60% discount! I could get an additional 10% discount. I am new to organic product. The salesgirl was really nice... She introduced me to ALL the products in the store and I bought some stuff =) So excited to use them


Shower gel with organic grapefruit, pepper, yam, and ylang ylang etc...


Organic Face moisturiser with green tea, aloe vera and edelweiss


This is not organic but I just bought it to try la... Some Dr. Hauschka daily face care set with cleanser, toner, normalising oil, facial steam bath?? rejuvenating mask and a clay mask

Promotions at Red White and Pure is till 8th June. hurry down!!!!! I may drop by again on Fri evening to get the organic body scrub.. hehe..

the day b4 work starts

I'm starting work tomorrow. My first full time job. I really dread having to wake up at 7am every morning from mon-fri and no more morning swim on wkdays from now on =(

I could retract my file for graduation but the thought of having to study for another year is equally dreadful.

Study sian. Work also sian. What should i do?

Saigon trip

Thinking back, the most memorable sight in Vietnam would probably be the journey to Nha Trang Beach with Alex. We were on a sleeper bus and I was awaken by the bright morning sun. The sun was rising behind a mountain range, the ray shines on the wet paddy field which glisten in the sunlight. The morning sun brought light and life to the farmland. It was such picturesque scene which could possibly move any urban dwellers to tears. The Japanese lady beside me was busy snapping photos. I didnt bring my camera with me. I will go back to Saigon and to the beach again =)

Talking about the Jap lady, she was travelling with another Jap guy who is pretty good looking. I was telling Alex they are such a sweet couple. Alex didnt think they were couple cos they don't behave intimately.

And Guess what!! During the island tour at the beach, We saw the Jap couple again. Now, the guy is with another Jap guy... they are obviously AJ and the girl was tanning alone.. hehe... The Jap lady took a pic of me and Alex. I requested for her to email me the pic.. But she never understand a single bit of English... so well nvm..

Lush is a bar / club in Saigon district 1. It became too gay and the owner mandated that every male guest must be accompanied by a female guest. This absurd rule was finally abolished when patronage no. dropped. I met the owner in the club and at a German beer launch party... He is AJ too.. I wonder why he came out with this requirement. Hmmm.... Maybe the Socialist Replublic of Vietnam is not very AJ friendly and do not encourage an AJ bar... And hence there is no AJ bar in Saigon. Alex also mentioned that he is not allowed to print a topless picture on his CD cover or a on a poster because it is not allowed in the country.

The launch party was nice. The beer was good. I don't see it in the local market as yet. In the party, I get to meet some famous singers, actress, models, media people.. Most people thought I was a Vietnamese.. I met a media guy, and after much translation from Alex's friend, I understood that he came to Singapore and visited geylang for sex. I just smiled... I didnt know how to react.

I am glad that I'm really lucky to meet Alex. He is really sweet. He took time out of his busy schedule to drive me round the city in his vespa, spend time with my friends and introduce us to authentic local food... And of course, brought me to the Beach Town while singing love songs during the journey.
