Usual updates

As there is no fix structure on how to write my blog, I will do it chronologically to record events and things happened for the past two weeks.

10/11/2014- Had a job interview with a company at Marina,

12/11/2014- Bing is in Singapore, I met them in P&C for a round of drinks together with Shannon and also his GF Zoey. I had some fries and two rounds of Erdinger to celebrate our time together. Shannon footed the bill. I then also meet candy wong and also his larry look alike boyfriend called Jerry. Lisa also joined the meal together with Teo. As usual, we discussed about marriage and kids and things that we are working on it.
We had a meal at city hall Ramen. After our meal, we then went back to P&C for their cheap Erdinger. Time well spent.

14/11/2014- We went to meet Mr Simon, the General Manager of Raffles hotels to further discuss a few outstanding issues with them which I would not like to post it here. How they managed to negotiate with us is an eye opening event. How every single details Mr Simon had plan even before the discussion starts. He waited for us in the lobby at 7pm together with his assistant Mr Christian. He then greeted us with a firm handshake in his jacket and shinning shoes. It really shows how professional he is. After greeting us, he brought us to a lobby cafe. We sat next to a piano with serene settings and pianist playing some relaxing tunes. He also offered us a variety of international teas and coffee which comes with Mediterranean small bites. We were treated like a VIP guest. After our negotiation, he then told us that he will reply with his offer on 21/11/2014 as he will be going to a business trip. He left the table and insisted us to finish our complimentary meal. 

16/11/2014- Wake up early in the morning, had a light breakfast at home before our meal together at sheraton tower hotel dim sum with Kenny, Angela and her parents. Sheraton Tower Hotel is now my favourite restaurant for dim sum. It was a great gathering with all of them over good food and great service. Time flies, My Aunty Josephine from Sabah is here for a weekend. I went to meet her at Sentosa island together with my another Aunty whom is staying and working in Singapore. Together we had a meal in Vivo city. I brought Miss J to meet them also, I can see my aunty likes Miss J quite a lot. After our meal, we had a quick stroll from somerset to orchard road and we then retire to our own place around 10pm. 

17/11/2014- Went for a talk with Chai ann and also JY in City hall about Japanese Economy. As usual, the best thing about the free talk is to meet friends with similar interest and it somehow bond us together closer on the horizon. After our talk, we went for a quick catch up session at P&C nearby Raffles tower. 

18/11/2014- Had severe stomach ache due to some of the food I had at site. Rest at home for half a day, did my laundry and catch up with myself. Couldn't join the dinner session with Kevin Gu from Australia

19/11/201- Had home made dinner with Miss J at home

20/11/2014- Went for a KK gathering at EN Grill. The food was bad, location is nowhere, service was terrible. The best thing about the place is still the companionship. 

21/11/2014- Initially planned a zumba session at night with Miss J. However, due to my work on early Saturday, I need to reach home before 10pm. Therefore, after our meal at a Japanese restaurant we went back home. 

Mr Simon from Raffles replied with a reasonable offer. It seems that we will be accepting it. Thanks to Suzie for helping us this round. Without her effort, sending emails to the hotel manager after midnight. 


Looking forward for another week ahead.
