Intern Management
Bloggin via Wifi-my 1st time @ macs on my G900. Haha. Anyway I m killin time while waitin for Dear who's zeng-ing his car again n for d shops to be opened!
Well , bac to the main topic. recently we've an intern for 3 mths. instead of havin additional help,i tink i m havin a much harder time than b4.sigh.. prob its my time n ppl mgmt problem ba. Jux cant seem to hav enough of my own time. Being an "overly-eager" learner, she will also "bug" me at the wrong time to ask for more work, e.g. when I am eating my breakfast or when I am occupied with a task. Maybe she's still young and inexperienced bah, so also can't "blame" her totally. Hopefully she gets the "hint" after that...And also I can guess that her character is pretty ambitious, such that she is not someone who will be satisfied with just doing filing. So I can't possibly just throw all backlog filing to her like that. She needs to learn something substantial during this internship period.
Let's hope that with more time for myself , I can learn better to manage how to handle my own work and completing at the usual efficiency, yet at the same time, being able to answer to her queries and giving her enough tasks to keep her occupied! Its a learning challenge for me now..

MaMa Mia!

Very honored to be one of the movie goers at the Gala Charity Premiere in aid of Singapore Children's Society, for the movie of MAMA MIA! We have free tickets that were selling at $100/ticket for charity purposes, because Dear is invited as a Income Superstar by his company..
Our Invitation Card
To me, MAMA MIA! is a very Broadway kind of famous theatrical play but I never got to know what is the storyline behind as I never watched it before. After watching this movie, then realise its a movie with a lot of singing.. But I love all the songs by the popular 70s group ABBA - my favorites are Dancing Queen, Mama Mia, I have a Dream, Honey Honey, Money Money Money! Can't resist singing along with them!
Thou' this is my first time watching such kinds of show, and its a bit cheesy at some parts, but I still enjoy it very much! Love Pierce Brosnan's good charming looks! woo!
Synopsis:
Meryl Streep leads an all-star cast as an independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna (Streep) is about to let go of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), the spirited daughter she’s raised alone. On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, Sophie brings back three men from Donna’s past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Based on the smash hit musical seen by over 30 million people worldwide with a gross to date of $2 billion. It is set to songs by popular '70s group ABBA.

BBQ - Friday
It has been some while since I last had a BBQ.. Dear's colleagues organized one on last Friday nite and I finally got to eat those bbq chicken wings and taiwan sausages again! yummy! The more I ate, the hungrier I got.. haha.. but cannot finish up on the food myself mah
Saw the mini Singapore Flyer (ferris wheel) at the shopping mall beside Downtown East. Looks very fantasy-like!Bowling - Saturday
Dear and I joined the bowling event organised by my company's Rec Club, at Marina Square Bowling Centre on Saturday... I admit I am the lousiest bowler.. my ball kept rolling into the long-gangs, and got the lowest score.. sigh.. Think I better play at my Wii bowling game instead. At least I scored much much better than in reality..haha..

Birthdays - Saturday & Sunday
September is a busy month with many important birthday celebrations going on - My brother (10 Sep), my sis-in-law (9 Sep) & my father-in-law (10 Sep).

Went to Crab Party on saturday to celebrate my brother's birthday first. The crab bee hoon was great and the crab was really chunky and sweet! It rained during 2nd part of the dinner and we had to quickly finished our dinner while getting splashed by the raindrops!
Hand-made a box with the wooden items bought from Daiso, and we shared a Creative X-Fi MP4 for his present this year. Hope he likes it!Sunday was to celebrate my father-in-law and sis-in-law's birthday. Food was not bad, thou there were some dishes that my in-laws "complained" that its not fresh..sigh.. then they complained to the Captain whom they are on quite good terms with since they always patronised this restaurant. In the end, the Captain gave us free shou-tao and changed another dish for us at no extra charge. All well ends well. Dinners are always more lively with the 2 kids around...
Never have awkward silence again.. hee...Dyan's multi-expressions

We also spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon at Xinyou & Eunice's solemnization at his condo's Club House. They made good efforts to decorate the place and the food was great too!Wish they will have a blissful and ever-lasting marriage!

And he went to google and gave me this quiz - http://toys.about.com/library/quiz/carebears/blcarebearsquiz.htm

Wii - Weet!
Got ourselves from the Comex Fair a long-awaited gaming addition (can also be an 'addiction') to our household - Nintendo Wii!It's really a very fun, enjoyable and 'physical' game that I truly enjoy playing with! As I am not a gaming person, this is the first time I got myself so involved with. Although we only have 1 original game to play with now - which is the Wii Sports, both of us had a rollin' good time playing and laughing over tennis game, trying to strike at bowling game, and creating look-alike Mii! Dear got a square-faced Mii while I got a mole at the right position on my face! LOL!

It was also hilarious looking at Dear in his boxing game, when he is so serious at all his punches and defences! Laughed until non-stop lor.
I am sure this will be the next-big-thing happening in our house, apart from mahjong-ing!
