2 Fresh Starts in July!!

Good Morning all!

Once more I have let the blog be long overdue. This is for a couple of reasons, allow me to divulge along the way.

I was in the midst of changing my career prospects from Marketing Institute of Singapore to 99.co so had to do a bit of house cleaning before I could part with a clear conscience. Do give your support to both my past and present places, huat ah!!

99.co

Also, if it wasn't obvious in my previous posts, I have been trying to date someone for the past 3 months. Me being me, it didn't work out because, well, I'm quite shit in relationships. Yes, full blame on me. My sincere apologies to you. But I'll come to that later on. Not sure if I can make it funny, but heck, I'm already a joke.

I really appreciate given the chance to join this start-up. Being less than 3 years in the industry, 99.co has already overtaken more established names, and are now currently number 2 in the market. Go online to research by yourself, no BS from me!

I really appreciate even more that my first day at work was to join in an event under Marcus Luah from the Propnex Powerful Negotiators group. You could see the top performers letting their hair down, and have their natural charisma shine through.

So I had a really good time at Altimate, since Marcus Luah generously booked the whole place for a few hours. I also have to say that he has really pretty agents under his teams, and when there was no performance going on, or when I was waiting for a refill of my (free flow) beer, my eyes were suitably busy. What an awesome TGIF.

I was shy to take the selfies, but they were necessary! We were also up at 1Altitude to take a group shot, so I found time to sneak away to a corner and take a scenic selfie. There are more pictures but I didn't get their permission so I'm not posting any of those. Although I think I might have to apologise to Altimate's management for requesting techno songs towards the end of the event. Actually not at all, I freaking loved it! 

 

That's the song that sparked (full pun intended) the short techno party till management complained about the chanting... Hahaha. Shiok.

Now to more sombre news, I went from potentially dating, to being definitely single once more. Not all bad news since I totally forgot how pricey dating could be, so this is a welcome relief for my wallet, and allows me to restructure my finances such that I am better prepared next time round. Wait, let me grab a drink to feel better...

*HIC* Being older, more mature, and more composed *burp*, I find myself handling this latest development a lot better than expected. Also helps that I am thoroughly swamped with work, so I generally have enough energy at the end of the day to crawl into bed after I shower and wake up ready for the next challenge.

But I have to admit, dating felt nice. It brought back emotions that I haven't experienced in quite a while, and I think I'm finally emotionally ready to find a partner. Ladies, collect your queue number! 

Oei, how come even number 1 also not taken up ah... Oh ya, 5 readers...

Oh ya! I had damn good fishball noodles, at Keat Hong CC, directly opposite Lot 1. PGFN is the name of the place. Go for it, people. Good service, great tasting food. I like. Plus the original stall has been around since 1982, so the great taste has been refined and perfected over the years. Best thing is, this outlet is open 24 hours! ROAR!!!

So that's about it for now, I'll keep you guys posted once I sort out the ability to add more photos to my google photos album. **Latest update - my photos are linked once more**

Fun fact: Fresh starts are always good. Fresh farts not so much.

What a Sweaty Thursday

'Tis a beautiful day, the Sun is shining, birds are chirping and the trains are standing still.
 

to show boss not my fault

Got to give it to SMRT though, with this level of consistency, they'll get any ISO that was applied for. Bao jiak.

I wanted to take a picture of the rush hour tranquility, but there were many many scowls around, the queues looked like they were vibrating with all those heads shaking and I was also perspiring buckets from the wait. Although since I was wearing a white shirt, I might have been in strong contention to win any wet shirt contest. Sexy me.

So at this current time in my life, I have grown a little older, and have finally come of age - to buy a HDB under the Singles Scheme. That's because none of you ladies out there decided to take one for the team and settle for me. And you know what, you know what, lucky you. Anyways, since I have no one to share the costs joys of buying and decorating my own place, I had to find cheap alternatives to home furnishing.

I have included the link to their FaceBook page here and also in the image above, so everyone gets a chance too! I hope you lose. Cos I want to win. Please please.

speaking of FaceBook. I'm awesome

Anyway I better get back to getting some work done so that I still can afford to slack, and will update more when I got more stuff in my head. 
 

just found this random thing hilarious

Please do leave any comments if you feel there's a need to improve this blog in any way, I will take it into consideration and implement them if I think it's not stupid.    

Oh, and it's also my dad's birthday, Happy Birthday Pa! 

He doesn't read blogs so this is just for my amusement.

Fun Fact: A hula hoop can't do hula hoops with another hula hoop of the same size.

Happy Valentine's Day to all, ok maybe not all. Some.

It's that time of the year once more, where roses and other favourite flowers suddenly cost 4-5 times the norm, chocolates make their way into every crevice of mouths and teddy bears or other stuffed toys greatly lessens the world's cotton supply. Oh, and that love is in the air.

Yes everyone, it's Valentine's Day! And if you haven't already gotten the hint from the title of this blog, then, SURPRISE!! This is essentially the one day of the year where romantic gestures, specially arranged dinners, proposals and heh sio heh sio are in wide abundance. If you're trying to get short term lodging at our budget hotels, I sure hope you booked rooms in advance considering their demand on this particular date. Of course you may also cut cost by engaging in HDB stairway shenanigans, just throw your various DNA samples in the many bins provided.

Being Valentine's Day, I will devote this entire post to this loving atmosphere. In fact, I shall also add pictures of beautiful bouquets in their natural splendour.

I mean wow. 

Of course, it could also be thrown away by an unappreciative receiver, and we can't even speculate on the reasons as to why. But at the very least, just applaud the effort and workmanship of the flowers la... Or give them to a friend/family member/colleague who is feeling down in the dumps. But I guess it's a day where emotions run high. I mean, just ask those who decided to not hang around couples and instead found watering holes to drink with friends or alone. I know the feeling, it's a day where I used to try out my best Barney Stinson impression on lonely ladies with low self esteem. (Self-Five cos it's a dick move).

Anyways, I know I'm a day late, but I do sincerely wish that everyone had a great Valentine's/Friendship (losers) Day. Preferably to end the day without any blue nuts or dry wells. 

For those who didn't, there's always Tinder.
