Mr Potato

I cooked mashed Potato today!!! 

It was during this company event that I got a chance to do my own cooking~! So cool.... I kinda like the feeling of preparing my own meal! Can you imagine that? A good husband who can cook and provide for his family? =] Is this the type of guy you girls would yearn to have? ;) ha. 

Anyway this event that I attended is called CPE (Corporate Planning Exercise). In this CPE we would be discussing about how we did and what we are to expect in the near future in our work. Oh yes, I also received an award titled the 'Minister for Manpower Award' together with many of the EPOL team colleagues for contributing in the development of the new EPOL system. Pretty cool aint it =] You bet. 

During the whole of today's event I also got the chance to go up ('to the stage') to 'present' twice. The first time being, after the first dish we create, we have to tell the people present what it meant and why we named it the way we named it. And the name of our Vietnam Spring roll dish is Mei Qui (Rose). I described each petal, made of spring roll as each of the team member who contributed in making the dish, forming the beautiful flower, growing and working together as one beautiful entity in achieving our goals. 

The next time i went up to speak is when we were to draw an image to represent each of the alphabet in the word C.A.R.E. C = Competent, A = Accessible, R = Responsive, E = Effective. As a team, we came out with ideas on what image we would like to draw to represent each of the alphabet. In the end, for C, we drew President Obama, A, I drew Toilet paper, R = my colleague Peggy drew Badminton Racket and shuttle cock, and E, I drew the Superman logo. Fun sums it all up~ 

Boxing

Training has been great although it has taken it's toll on me, well, atleast a little. I have been training for almost every other day other than my actual classes on Monday and Wednesday. I'd do stretching for an hour plus, else it would be gym or run to become stronger. 

All this commitment i put into my training does pay off though. Just yesterday, I had a valuable lesson from my coaches, especially coach Sri on sharing of some of his secret techniques and footwork. During sparring I fared well and lasted 3 sparring partners, coming on top before ending my sparring session. I also had sparring on Monday. Taking and giving punches become part and parcel of my training but I am happy. As long as I know I am improving every single day/second I am happy. 

On the 14 I shall aim for a Victory to repay what my coaches had done to help me develop as a boxer. 

Signed up for mioHome plan with Singtel

Yesterday, by right going ktv with colleagues but somehow as if an epidemic broke out 4 out of 7 people fall sick?! can u imagine how miracle happen in our daily lives? it's really so amazing! *says grace* amen. nevertheless i still managed to catch a movie with nida at Century square in Tampines! I watched The story of Benjamin Button :) a 2hr 45min show which is okok bah. it was a story telling type of show with lots of flashbacks etc.

we had abt 1hr 30min before the show start so we decided to walk around abit first.. nida suggested we go singtel shop as she wanted to check if there are any deals available and so we went. in the end i was the one who went home with a great deal hee :)

I took up the mioHome 'internet' plan. on the last day of its CNY promotion. am i lucky or wad.

This plan basically bundles the LAN Line, internet broadband and Cable TV together as a package.

so, wads so good abt it? first of all i had the chance to lower down the subscription charges for my internet bills from abt $80.00 a mth to just $60.00 a month? a hefty of $20.00 savings per month! on top of that i get mioTV channels free for 1 yr, for my parents viewing pleasure only ofcoz haha coz i dun watch tv. One minus point is that I have to pay for the hse phone LAN line. My father happy until dunno like wad only coz I 'volunteered' to pay for the hse line... wandarfool ah... :p It charges only for usage in terms of outgoing calls? Hopefully i wont have to end up paying more at the end of the day. anyway it's a 30 month contract. 0.o

Visit to 2 Chinese doctors

Really is 'He Ping de dai jia' sia... I even have to borrowed $22.00 from Alan, the chinese doctor friend there. -_- have to return him once I get my pay.

I received a call this morning while i was still at the first clinic from my boxing coach who told me that I was one of the Boxers selected to represent SABA (Singapore Amatuer Boxing Association) in boxing. With that, every Sat there will be an additional training from 4-6pm starting from today, which i didnt and couldnt go. That was that. Good news I suppose.
