Morning in a rush to buy pens, exchange currency, fund transfer etc... just to prepare for the trip. Bumped onto that Malay admin AJM at NTUC! Aigoo!
Finally the luggage is more or less done. Left the final bathe, dinner, before I set off to airport! 第二次搭飛機就自己一個人的說，因為對於機場的程序不熟，當然也包括第一次去歐洲公幹+玩，所以超緊張的！^^

Work: Day 57
Now, even more people who knows I'm flying off to Spain. Almost the whole department. Today got more people asking...
GD seems blur blur. That day Wednesday he asked me when I go for training (meaning he already know the news liao, must be WK told him one coz I nvr tell him), ok so I told him the date. Then today his reaction after WK told him that I 'last day' in office for this month, he seemed so shocked as if he now then know it. MCS?
Evening was quite tiring, with packing up the stuff, including laptop. Aigoo... Also it's quite nice of boss and big boss that they arrange someone to bring me from Airport when I reach Madrid. Aigoo! Thanks so much!

Work: Day 56
Nothing much at work. Now the main thing is to prepare for the trip to Spain.
Today somewhat have the feeling of being a true perm staff ds - ask us to do task report. The level is rising and reaching to what colleagues do.

Yoogane + work day 55
After the failed attempt to meet up on Monday for Yoogane, SG said he's not working on Vesak Day, so he's on with the Korean dinner gathering. Both me and JY had no issue, but in my opinion it would be better if meet on Monday and then can hang out till late late then sleep in on the public holiday lol.
Left house at 4 pm. Was first to reach Bugis. Then SG said he took bus from AMK! He knows what bus that goes to Bugis from Jurong East though he doesn't live in the west side! Omgakkk!
Two of us went around Bugis Junction to window shop. Then JW (a friend of SG) came to join. Shortly after, JY and her BF also joined. In fact, this was the first time I meeting him outside work! Omo~ SG super friendly lor, still introduce his friend for me to know ds.
The queue for Yoogane was there, but not long not short. Waiting time about 20-30 mins. Back in Korea, no need to wait because seats are available lol. Ordered their Yoogane's Chicken Galbi or 닭갈비 x3 ($16.90) with sticky noodles ($3.90) and mozarella cheese ($3.90) as toppings. Lastly, the additional fried rice ($5.90) completed the meal. Also ordered their egg roll ($?), Japchae or 잡채 ($11.90) and seafood pancake ($16.90).
Verdict: I felt that the fried rice wasn't as nice as what I had in Korea. Probably they should fry it a bit longer so that the rice is a bit drier and got 鍋巴 sticking onto the pan. It would be perfect! The egg roll and japchae were niceeee! Could see the rest also eating the food deliciously.
Damage: $20 (total $100.10)
As it's still not late, we moved to Ah Chew Desserts nearby for some quick cooling desserts! I had 楊枝甘露 and it was nice!
Damage: $4.20
Both SG and JY were busying whatsapping Joa and WK. Seeing my phone no notification - bxds! But nonetheless, I can enjoy some peace meanwhile haha! The day ended with some blues because got to work tomorrow.
Mentioned this gathering to PG, he totally bx over JY and SG~
Then now, more and more people know about me and Pra flying off - they came over and so-called congratulate me on going to Spain for business trip. Omo, news spreads fast. Ya, agree with SG that Alberto is a funny guy.
About work, heng I'm not 100% doing this sub-system. Maybe it's good and bad?

蛋捲！
賣相很美
吃起來嘛
好吃是好吃
就煎蛋包起來啊
沒什麼特別的了
韓式炒玻璃麵
不錯看
不錯吃喔！
海鮮煎餅
這個真的好美味的說
但是海鮮給的有一點點少
菜就多到鬼醬
正點喔！
個人認為韓國的會比較好吃
對於炒飯有一點點失望
首先飯應該還可以再乾一點
然後就會有美味的鍋巴
可是這個卻濕濕的
就有一點點不行去

Work: Day 54 + Choo Choo Chicken + 7th Cylinder cafe
For most of the whole day yesterday, only me around my desk area... The rest all went to site. Morning WK did come in, but less than 1 min he went out again.
Lunch with JM at nearby food court, the $4.50 yong tau foo was the first time I've seen being served in this manner. Used some gravy to go along with the yong tau foo and the noodles when I actually wanted real dry yong tau foo. *memory flashbacks of the NTU canteen B yong tau foo stall*
SG said he got work 2nd shift and as such couldn't make it to the Korean dinner planned last week. Baituo! There goes my meetups with people already! I already almost bored to death over the weekend, that's when I very look forward to the evening. Now all gone naught liao. Had to find new people for dinner again, tried to target those people whom I called out on Saturday. Saggy, all cannot make it. Is it so busy for them?
Then YZ found out that I'm working at Siemens! How did he know that de when I'm pretty low profile since the start of work?! Omo omo omo... And what's more shrieking news is that he's quitting the current job at the end of this month. Omo omo omo... So fast change career?! *How about MBA for me in future?*
Heng still got PG who took off and was outside jalan-jalan shopping. He brought along the Choo Choo Chicken voucher, so the venue has been decided. :)
After that WK came in. Omo, I thought I was super heng, he got to work on Friday evening, Sat and Sun! Pra also worked on Sat... Omo~ Then WK said his plan for the day all disrupted by the last minute instruction - morning in office then afternoon go site with GD and JY ds.
Colleagues all jin du (actually I know they were joking away), led by WK la, keep teasing me I will be one man show. Omo~
Went SLS first to buy a thumbdrive for work use. $6 for 8 GB was really cheap leh! Then went to Bugis Village to find PG. He told me he spotted Yu Hui but the latter didn't recognise him lol.
3rd time visiting Choo Choo Chicken. Didn't get to see Sia there, has she left the venture or something? PG was sagging away by the hard truth LMAO! Ordered 8-piece ($16), 2 cham chi burger ($6.90 x 2) and tender chicken ($10). Delicious!!! Even more yang was that we chalked up the bill to be $39.80 which was close to $40! No need to top up aigoo!
Damage: $10 (total $39.80)
After dinner as time still early, we went to this cafe called 7th Cylinder. It's a newly opened cafe and I think the 鎮店招牌 is the giant macarons. Had the neapolitan maracon ($7.90) and oreo cheesecake + hot chocolate ($7.90). Oreo cheesecake was normal, hot chocolate didn't have the so-called latte art, but the macaron was quite nice. In fact this was my first time eating macaron! First impression of it - it's too sweet! OMG, imagine the amount of sugar intake, bxds.
Began to introduce JY and SG to PG. Seems like he got interested in them after I declared they are one of the friendliest people I have ever met! He can go omo for all I care lol...

Last weekend in SG + 母親節快樂
祝天下所有媽媽‘母親節快樂’！
Morning went RT for the 6th session. Saw WC and WJ there and WJ happened to be in my detail! Wasn't expecting anything for the day ds. After the 2.3 km run, next it was the hell-ish chin up training and this was when WJ sneaked up to my back wanting to become the person giving the assistance. Totally unexpected ds. Both of us are now zero fighter lol...
I think he already forgotten about me - I was the one who initiated the brief chat. Anyway he's staying in Hougang but took the effort to come all the way to Maju FCC lor, because the time taken to travel to other FCCs are about the same. But Maju FCC stands out because got direct bus. Interesting finding... He is now working in MOF so I guess things are looking good on him lo. But it was kinda confusing when he said ministry one pay may not be as good as stat board pay. Isn't it the other way around? Aigoo...
Chatted with WC too, he got difficulties clearing the 20 RT sessions (hmm, why don't do 10 IPT + 8 RT combo leh?). Weekdays work till 9 pm so cannot go RT liao, only left weekends. But even so, 3 months is not enough if he wants to do all RT sessions on weekends leh. Extend? Another 1 month more only. Mula about him~
Was nua-ing at home in the whole afternoon. Super bored leh. Last weekend in SG also no one wants to go out with me T.T Maybe next time ask colleagues for lunch/dinner/chill? Haha, if they don't mind seeing me again on weekends haha.
Evening went JP. Sis changed her phone from Note II to iPhone 5S. *Change is ok, but please don't keep toggling between iOS and Android, you don't do the data transfer, but I'm always tio bombarded with questions or asked to help do data transfer when such thing happens lor* The feeling on 5S is so similar to my previous 4S until I thought I'm using my old phone. It has the homely feel after I used iPhone for about 3 years le. Now brother also considering jump onto the iOS wagon. Omo~ Last time still say Samsung phones are the best, now? Aigoo~
Had dinner @ Grandma's. I feel that if go such places to eat 煮炒 was a bit unnecessary. If want actually those tze char stalls downstairs are pretty good le. First of all, the portion of the dishes we ordered was always smaller than I expected. Secondly, the taste also not very authentic. The worst was the KL hokkein mee, aigoo, the taste of the soy sauce was so primitive - don't have the fried feel at all - that I thought after frying the rest, the last step was to add the soy sauce to the dish. Nonetheless, did enjoy the meal over there.
After dinner, went to jiak chendol. For the first time, we could grab a table the moment we were at the entrance. Strangely, the place wasn't VERY crowded at all, akin to the situation I witnessed at Plaza Sing on a Friday meetup with Bay. Where has the crowd gone to?
Sis went to get a casing and a screen protector for the phone, then went up NTUC to buy some stuff before making our way home. I was feeling a bit tired liao, especially the bicep area!!!
Over the weekend, PG had been mentioning about JY and SG who keep appearing on my blog posts recently. I think he very 38 + kaypoh and xyy wanted to know more. But who cares, I am going to jiak ho liao with them tomorrow! How about public holiday? Mula if I can get anybody out of their house, but I also got to worry about my business trip. :(

Work: Day 53 + Super boring weekend + last weekend in SG
Yesterday morning went to site early to do work and support WK. *Oops, I think I indirectly caused them to be photographed. Had I didn't order anything then this wouldn't happen.*
Again, could do a bit of work only, because have to give priority to more important works going on. Luckily got JY and SG there to chat, so that the day didn't feel so boring and mundane.
Then went Lot 1 to have a super late late lunch with them. I think it was about 3 pm already. Ordered the curry chicken rice ($5.50) as recommended by them. So in the end 4 of us had the same thing. But me and SG would like to try the 麥片炸雞飯 ($5.90) next time we were there.
After lunch, WK went back to site to support GD who was there in late afternoon to troubleshoot issues, while 3 of us decided to walk around Lot 1 and chit-chatting away. I really think they are the friendliest people around I could have liao leh!
Towards the end, I suggested why not go for ice-cream at McDonald's. Despite they need to play bowling at the company event, they quite 'on' with my idea wor. Wow, the feeling was good! :)
I had the butterscrotch+chocolate basic ice-cream ($1). JY had the same thing but SG went for the chocolate sundae ($1.50) instead. The auntie also jin cute, SG asked for more chocolate topping but the auntie said it's not she don't want to give him extra topping but she said got people looking at her. Haha 也太可愛了吧。
Over here, they orientated me what actually happened before I joined in this Feb. Ok, I want to get close and friendly with my colleagues, but this takes time. Cannot jump in and attack straight away, as it looks awkward in this way. Also they would rate people, who are the ok ones, who are the more cautious ones. Pretty good and useful info, at least now I know what I have to look out for as my career progresses... Some words have to be careful not to say it out though it applies to everybody working in company. Confidential information is not supposed to distribute to outsiders de mah. 雖然嚴格來講大家都不是真正的同事來的，但他們肯跟我這個新人分享情報，真的要感謝他們喔！
Opened a group chat room called 三姑六婆聊天室. Haha, they bxq~
Reached home at 6 pm. This week hasn't been a good week for me, still prefer last week. Aigoo...
Talk about the trip to Spain. People are giving the envious reactions after I broke the news to them. I myself is still having the mixed feelings. It's good to learn new things and get to go on an overseas trip la, but still feel sian don't know why. I thought 'ICK' would be a good start, working with WK and GD would be nice, but oh well, sometimes I don't have a choice.
For today, morning have been asking around to pull people out but failed. It's either no reply or say going Malaysia, going out whole day, going out meet friends, IPPT etc. 我請客都無人問津⋯⋯ Sua le, want me to treat have to wait till after I'm done with reservist lor. Till then I would be sooooo tired until I don't want to go out already. The feeling is like I have no friends in SG like that. Tragic? Yep.

Work: Day 52 + Big news!
Today Nothing big except for a news from boss. Was on my way from Kranji site back to office, just as the taxi was entering PIE, I had to tell the driver to make a U-turn back. Jia Yi saw liao also kept laughing away 哭笑不得的說，我都無奈去。The reason for going back was because I wouldn't have made it on time and boss had to go for a meeting in the afternoon. That was at 2 pm.
Was told to go on a business trip to Spain for 3 weeks. Aigoo, actually didn't really expect myself to learn this stuff *because I really lousy at it and among us already got someone who's quite 'expert' in it liao* but the idea of business trip really sounds nice la, only if it's after my reservist.
TBH, I really had mixed feelings about it. Don't know should I really look forward to it or not? Very vexed now. On surface I may look quite positive, but inside heart I'm having a big dilemma.
Haiz, actually I was hoping to get into same team as GD and WK, ultimately I have been learning quite a lot from them and start to get along with them liao. And this thing came along. But oh well, hope things turned out fine and I got to learn the rest of system too!
Had the Rendang chicken burger from BK @ Bukit Panjang Plaza for $7.95. Not bad, but the burger is so small now?! The word 'double' doesn't seem effective leh. OMG, the service was sooooo slow. BXDS.
Another surprise of the day was I bumped onto Kaster! Aigoo, so coincident that she was working on the same project but different contract. She told me that outside engineering jobs really not as rosy as we would think. Was quite shocked by the 'R&S' company pay. Aiya, first job sometimes really cannot hiam, most important is to gain experience lor.

Work: Day 50 & 51
Day 50 (6 May)
Things got a big change in morning. Was already on bus and quite near to office and was told to go site right away. But nonetheless still went back office to fill up water bottle and had breakfast before I went down.
Then suddenly everybody is looking for the key. GD and boss finding me to know where the key whereabouts - aigoo I didn't go site the day before leh. I don't know. Anyway, I only found out that WK got the key. So everybody targeted and 'attacked' him instead.
In the end, the room was unlocked with people working inside. So much so for waiting for Amee for the key. Still jokingly challenged Prasad what would happen if I were to go up and realised I could enter room without any key? Haha~ Baituo, sometimes never try never know.
Took a deeper insight into what GD was doing. Yes I may not know 100%, but at least got 60-70% ba. It's not that difficult but not super easy too. The idea is roughly there and I need details to fill in the gap, before can call myself expert? Haha...
The greatest weakness is still the networking between the systems. Until now I still a bit confused by the connections. But I can't be relying on people to spoon feed me the answers anyway.
Knew where GD is staying. Ok, it's some place which I occasionally may pass by and no wonder he got bitten by a bee. That place looks very near to a lot of trees wor.
Day 51 (7 May)
Woke up 5.35 am in the morning because got to reach site at 7 am! Aigoo, jin early leh. Didn't have breakfast and went out of house liao. Halfway throughout on bus 180, stomach began to feel pain and there wasn't any toilet nearby! Alighted at Phoenix MRT bus stop. Was stunned when found out no toilet at LRT station. Then got to tahan as I walked to Ten Mile Junction, hoping to find a toilet.
But the ultimate sag was that the whole shopping mall was closed for public access during non-business hours! Aigoo! After some considerations, went to Bukit Panjang Plaza to search for toilet. Then reached the mall, the toilet was located at the other side of it, simi stunt?! Still got to walk to there before I can relieve myself!
It was so much worse than exercising that I didn't have so much sweat before! Aigoo, macam went for world war 3 like that.
Anyway informed them that was a little bit late. By the time reached there, they already started doing their work. Then took over from them and I continued to do my work and at the same time supporting other colleagues in their testing works.
Yay, got chance to jiak din din with people at work.
Most surprising was that GD and Raymond came down to troubleshoot some issues when nobody expected them to come down.
Linux may not be very difficult to use after all. Maybe easier than Windows wor!
*Sometimes looking at colleagues, they do seem to have bonding between them which I find myself kinda lacking now. I also human and need to socialise one leh. Don't treat me as anti-social leh.*
Things got a big change in morning. Was already on bus and quite near to office and was told to go site right away. But nonetheless still went back office to fill up water bottle and had breakfast before I went down.
Then suddenly everybody is looking for the key. GD and boss finding me to know where the key whereabouts - aigoo I didn't go site the day before leh. I don't know. Anyway, I only found out that WK got the key. So everybody targeted and 'attacked' him instead.
In the end, the room was unlocked with people working inside. So much so for waiting for Amee for the key. Still jokingly challenged Prasad what would happen if I were to go up and realised I could enter room without any key? Haha~ Baituo, sometimes never try never know.
Took a deeper insight into what GD was doing. Yes I may not know 100%, but at least got 60-70% ba. It's not that difficult but not super easy too. The idea is roughly there and I need details to fill in the gap, before can call myself expert? Haha...
The greatest weakness is still the networking between the systems. Until now I still a bit confused by the connections. But I can't be relying on people to spoon feed me the answers anyway.
Knew where GD is staying. Ok, it's some place which I occasionally may pass by and no wonder he got bitten by a bee. That place looks very near to a lot of trees wor.
Day 51 (7 May)
Woke up 5.35 am in the morning because got to reach site at 7 am! Aigoo, jin early leh. Didn't have breakfast and went out of house liao. Halfway throughout on bus 180, stomach began to feel pain and there wasn't any toilet nearby! Alighted at Phoenix MRT bus stop. Was stunned when found out no toilet at LRT station. Then got to tahan as I walked to Ten Mile Junction, hoping to find a toilet.

Work: Day 49
有時候做工都沒有在家那麼‘顯’～
真的，兩天在家發霉之後，今天回去公司上班感覺還蠻好的，因為知道自己今天會最少做到一些東西——而且都做到了。當然有些東西不是一下子就能做完就只好擱置在那邊慢慢做完它咯。
今天雖然是星期一但真的感覺還不錯一下。下午跟Joa、WK、GD去Bugis吃QQ麵，因為Joa要去附近middle road拿蛋撻。$6.60的砂拉越乾撈麵（加麵） + $1.80 Milo。本來要小碗的，可是GD給我們全部男生加麵，吃到飽下，還有milo蠻貴一下的。原來WK也喜歡跑步下，不懂zomok我問他跑步的問題，他給我的感覺是我好想要stalk他醬。當然如果可以在同事之間找到共同興趣是件好事啦，而且我還是新人，難免都會想要了解一下自己的同事jek~
下午還去hi-tea，蛋撻不錯是不錯，但可能是冷凍後味道沒有普通或葡式蛋撻來得香。重點是便宜——每個$1而已，而且又不會小個的說。很yang！一下子就下班去了！
*有時真的不要去想太多，不要太執著，也不要太做作。事情自然也就比較會順你意的……*

The weather is very unforgiving + super boring weekend!
What a boring weekend!
Yesterday didn't go out to meet friends, nor go shopping nor go anywhere. Just stayed at home and revise on my work stuff. Actually I had the option to go see 羅志祥「2014舞極限之舞魂再現」世界巡迴演唱會, but it just doesn't feel tempting for me to go, partly because I got RT today morning. Imagine after concert, reach home already 11 plus 12 midnight and have to rush to go sleep and wake up early next morning. Very sian...
On the other hand, wanted to go out on Labour Day with friends - didn't see some of them for a super long time liao. But plan failed because of a family dinner. Then yesterday wanted to go out but because of the concert thingy - if cousin doesn't wish to attend, then I shall be the backup lo. In the end she went, so I stayed at home instead. Wanted to la kopi also cannot because no car.
Congrats Zhang Jie on your engagement with your fiancé! Was rather surprised yet not-so-surprised that you are getting married in Oct. Happy that got people from K9 still remember me leh, excluding my batch people. :) Hahahaha!
Today? At Morning RT, I was surprised to see YZ car parked at Maju Camp! By then already started to suspect he is taking RT session Maybe same group? After sometime into the exercises, I finally spotted him running around the parade square. He was in the first group so I conclude he came here really early to get the early slots lo.
Then also saw Wen Jie! Somemore in the same group! *Shireking out* It's been a long long time since the BMT days so it's kinda natural if he doesn't recognise me lol.
Then You Jin didn't reply to my FB message to jiak dinner and my dinner already cooked by noon time. Guess I'm stuck at home for the 2 days.
The weather is super unforgiving now. Wanted to take a nap just now but the warmth just made me feel so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep. Now awake and using computer now. Zzz... =.=
Sometimes I really think it's not so bad to work on weekends and then rest or meet up with friends on weekday evenings instead. Might be better?
Hope next weekend would be a good one :)

Work: day 48 + dinner on Labour Day
Yesterday evening went JP's Men-ichi Japanese restaurant to jiak ramen. Waited for 30 mins for 6-seater inside the small outlet. *Actually I wouldn't have mind if I DON'T go out for whole day, it's getting ok*
*Spotted You Hwa! I guessed he also here to jiak din din ba*
Had the newly introduced kuro paitan tonkontsu ramen ($13.90++). In actual fact, it's a mixture of both black and white soups. Well, I almost couldn't finish the bowl of noodles! My diet could be considered as 'successful' as I don't eat a lot nowadays, 胃都變小了。
就這樣過了2014年的勞動節。
日子越過越沒什麼意義的說：不是在家休息就是在家休息。一方面沒有什麼人叫出來，另一方面要存錢來還債。
Morning went to office as usual, after checking with GD that the thing has been cancelled and he would be in office, so just follow him lo. Tried to complete those training courses ASAP, before the hectic period starts.
Raymond was back from holidays and some of us went down to have breakfast. Actually the feeling wasn't bad la, but I somehow felt out of place, afterall they are the old staff while I'm new...
Went site as I thought I would be quite bored with the work I'm going to do for the whole day. What's more is I could learn more with hands-on. *When would I attain the same level as them ah?*
Saw the sky was getting a little bit dark, said it's going to rain. Then GD suddenly said 'I think it's because of you~~'... Jokingly? MCS?!... Anyway lunch was at Sim Lim Square, as WK and GD wanted to buy some connector heads. I merely followed them that's all ds.
WK had this mutton stew. $9 for food court food?! Aigoo, I'm not a fan of mutton so I can't imagine myself having a plate of mutton + rice like that. How to eat ahhh? I had cai png instead. 填飽肚子就好了。
As for labour day holiday, it was good for JM, so-so for me and WK (I slept whole day yesterday wor, so do WK), but wasn't so good for GD. JM went to watch Amazing Spiderman 2. GD had his feet stung by bee at home. Luckily his friend is a pharmacist so could help to alleviate the situation. Then I slept and rest for full day, baituo...
The whole lot of them went for tea-break near to 5 pm. Initially I got the 衝動 to join them, but didn't in the end. Save up the awkward moments which might have happened later if I go. Somemore I wasn't being invited after Joa received the message from WK, she and GD went later. Just let them have their chats ba. As much as I would like to merge into their one cohesive and coorporative team, 有些東西是急不來的，物極必反。
And lastly, Tina last day?! This is so unexpected ds!
