So what have I been doing?

Hello all! I know I have been missing in the blogsphere for quite some time and other than the word lazy, i have no other excuses haha. So now i will just briefly summarize what i have been doing since my return from Melbourne.
Well, I came back for an internship at XXX (which i find is super screwed up), not the company itself, but the previous boss and perhaps the present one now too but I don't know him well. Will let you in on the story later on.

Looking through the old archives
Ok now why do i hate a love hate relationship with this company. Firstly i love this company because I had lots of hands on experience which greatly taught me a lot of skills , and it allowed me to do things i know i won't be able to do elsewhere in the near future. I hate this company because of the screwed up management when i was there. No standard operating procedures, not much guidance, and worse of all, everything is in a mess because of internal disputes. Right now, they still owe me a month's pay (even though its a small amt, i want it back). I contacted my ex boss (A), whom was the one that signed the contract to hire me. During then, he and the present boss now (B) had 50-50 shares of the company. However they had lots of disagreements and A agreed to sell his shares to B, but he would still be in the company. I don't know what happened after i left, but i contacted A to ask for my pay, and he told me that he got kicked out of the company, and i had to look for B to get my pay. It took me 3 days to contact B, and B told me that he gave some money to A and he is not liable for his debts cause he was not the one that hired me. I told that to A, and he asked me to go to the Ministry of Manpower.
Seriously what an asshole. I seriously don't know who should be liable, but i am going to wait for my documents from Melbourne and see what the MOM can do. Even if its not A's liabilty anymore, i am still pissed off at him. I mean he was the one who contracted me, and now he didnt even tell me what's happening, and just happily told me oh i got chased out of the company. That is so not my business, so i hope MOM will say he is liable, and if he doesn't want to pay, i hope he gets fined. I may sound evil, but i serious hate his irresponsible attitude man. Enough of this crap, its making me boil again.
So during my internship of course i still went out. The first time I met my friends after such a long time was at Indulgz. Well i just have to say we did not have a very good first time there, but i heard that there is a change of chef and would love to go back to try.



Halfway through our meals






Love you all!
The next event would have to be the BBQ and pot luck party that Ing invited me and my poly friends to. There were a lot of people there, mainly seperated in 3 groups :her PWC friends, her church friends, and our MG friends. Of course there were the extra poly friends of mine haha. Some photos of that night.
Susan, what's with the face?
Now it's mei mei's turn with the weird expression

Next on, Ing Ing invited us to her house for a BBQ again! This time round its just a smal group. I must say it was quite successful cause we managed to finish the food that day, and basically, the weather was good and clear too, the perfect kind of weather for a BBQ. Most importantly, we all had a good chat together, and the after program was good too.


Extra Hui Shien not looking at the camera!!! Haha

Our after program at ChinaOne
This is just a random thing i did during this period of time. Bringing the kids to Chinatown to buy lanterns haha, proudly sponsored by Aunty Susie.
Me, Esaias, Evangeline and Aunty Susie = )
Ing's trip to UK was confirmed, so we decided to go for a nice dinner at Dempsey Road. We have to part again, and its definitely weird not having your best friend by your side, but we are kind of used to it and no matter how long we will or have been apart from each other, we are always besties = )
At The Prime Society
Can't wait to dig into the steak
The perfect receipe
For a more recent event, Susan, Ing and I ventured out for a supposedly relaxing spa. I have to say, it was not that relaxing, because the massage hurt like crap! Haha, not throughout, but because i experienced pain, I was afraid of the pain recurring again, so my body was very tensed throughout, and also ticklish. The massage therapist kept trying to crack my bones, but to no avail because i was too stiff. Besides, i hate cracking bones, it just freaks me out. But i have to say, the seaview and quietness of the location made it very refreshing.
Waiting to be transported there ; )
On the way
We finally arrived

To end off this entry, i shall post up pictures of yesterday. Finally met up with Melissa and Amy after such a long time at Bugis. Went to Shokudo there, and as usual i enjoyed the food, and of course the company.

Hope you all enjoyed this entry, God bless!
