After the whole day, we met up with my family for dinner at east coast. There is this newly built area called Playground@BigSplash. Quite a number of eateries out here, though mostly are just outlets that exists in commercial places. Only one....... is different. There we are, at the Mingles. This was the only restaurant which looked different from the rest.

It's called "Mingles La Brassarie". European food. I thought hmmm.. okay we'll just try. Looks just like a normal western food restaurant. So each of us had our orders. The waiter told us about the dishes and wine. The wine tastes good BUT it tasted a little too warm, more than the room temperature. It must have been the hot weather I guess, or their cellar is not working. Food wise, I guess mine was the best. The lobster linguine for a price of $22++ was unbelievably worth it. Pasta was well done and the lobster meat was good..... I wish I could eat it again.

Enough talking.. here are the photos:

SHOWTIME!

Yesterday, it felt like a whole day of event for me.

D'abord, I went to take my driving practice, followed by theory evaluation test. During the practice, I failed two booklets again by 1 or 2 questions again. Each new booklet, they always have something new to surprise me and cause me to answer wrongly. I was quite tired already. I didn't have enough sleep from last night. Disappointed and tired, I went down to take a cup of "Teh". I thought.. okay, I'll just give the evaluation a try, at most I'll take it again if I fail. Before I went up, I had a little surprise. I saw my colleague and he was with his wife. His wife was having her first lesson. Well, I couldn't chat long and got back to my test. I finished in 20 minutes and spent another 10 minutes to browse through back and forth. Tada! I passed!!! God is kind to those who work hard, not study hard. I was elated.

Later in the afternoon, after watching 2 DVDs, we decided to head down to Boat Asia. The new private apartment project, "Reflections", is still having their showflats there. We decided to take a look. That was really a grande "LOOK". LIFESTYLE living they say. Huge apartment, designed in the way like a hotel is. Extremely good sea view like no projects ever had. Even sentosa's condominium project couldn't fight with it. Every apartment in a building could be different due to the architecture. Walls are designed such that it could be torn down to view a bigger room. There is a dry kitchen in every unit. All the little thoughts are there for you for a price in terms of millions of course.

Well, hard to achieve that millions. Thought we'll enjoy the boat show. The boats ended up in a faded colour compared to the house. This year, boat asia seems to have less boats and it wasn't as grand like the last one at Sentosa. However, there is boat from Dynasty which really opens an eye too. There are 3 storeys and 1 basement and many, many, many, many..... rooms. It's quite unbelievable in the number of rooms inside that boat. It's like a big house by itself. Besides that, the sports style speed boats caught my eye. Stylish and great to enjoy few glasses of white wine on the boat.

I really wish to own one at least for an instance in my lifetime. *Eyes turn green* (with envy)

Recently I've realised that there is this group of people whom I don't get along with. People with these kind of characteristics simply doesn't clique well with me. I tried but it just doesn't has the "Good Friends" chemistry.

These are the types:
1. Overly outgoing that's giving a form of repel.
2. Having an attitude problem with work. Needless to say.
3. Overly proud of themselves.
4. Speak tooooooooo little.
(Not the shy kind, the type who just doesn't like to talk.)
5. Too stingy.
(Note: different from thrifty.. there's always a limit.)

That's it...

I forgot to mention that I need to work today also! It's a sunday. That's the life in a Corporate Communications department. We get "exposure" and we get "temp" jobs to work.

I had a very bad sleep last night. Very agitated sleep and nightmares were all over the place. They were not exactly nightmares but dreams that are not very pleasing. :S

It must have been due to the chain of events yesterday and the day before. The day before, I was attending this driving final theory class. The instructor was so corny and so boring. His jokes were unentertaining. I had to stick out that 1hr 45min to clock the attendance of this class. Sigh... I also booked my final theory practise sessions and evaluation test. I need to pass this evaluation test 14 days before the actualy test else their super good computer system will cancel my test date. Hats off to this driving centre's computer system. EVERYTHING is computerised and so systhematic. How typical of a Japanese company.

While this test thing is still in my mind, my French class test will be next week. Our teacher just revised with us on the grammar of the language. It seems that we are in good shape, it's just something to make you study off the class.

Enough with the tests, then there is the family outing later. My mum is going on a holiday with her sisters. So the families are going to the regular place for a dinner. Food was good. Hasn't been there for some time. My mum and my aunties like to visit this place... but please... don't go every week. Every week, they would suggest this place, abit crazy though.

After dinner, we met my brother's girlfriend. She really resembles one of my colleagues. Well, too bad her surname is different. She looks like a demure version of my friend. Hahaha. Oh well, she looks fine and nice. That's good, I guess we'll all get along fine.

We had a tour at Changi Airport Terminal 3 while waiting for my mum to check-in. Ended up having beer at Harry's bar. It is nice being able to drink with family and cousins at a bar. I wish that there are more of such sessions. It's fun.

That sums up my past 2 days. Perhaps too many events that led to an agitated sleep. Just uploaded some photos to facebook. Think I'll take a rest again.

I realised that you really need to have some rants to blog regularly, else you are so happy that you wish to blog. This 2 weeks, I've gotten myself an eyesore in the office.

I've found out that this character is really notorious for her work behaviour and she is really one-of-a-kind. I've tried having lunch with the usual group without any eye contact with her and not talking to her. It's just wierd. I just find that she spoils my appetite and mood. Forget it... unless she changes, I will not befriend her.

If I were to be the management or the boss, I'll fire her.
