It have been raining the last weekends. Cool weather for one to nap on weekends. However, it is also kinda of waste of my time catching up with sleep.

Last weekend as usual, go out walk walk back at home for nap in the afternoon. Then since I do not want to cook, called my mother-in-law to prepare our dinner.
By the time we woke up, it was already 7pm+. Ended up dinner only starts at 8pm after we reached. :P

Last night Joel helped me in making a Pandan Cake using the premix. He likes it alot and is proud to make the cake by himself - cracking the 7 eggs, pouring flour and liquids into the mixture and wisking the mixture. Maybe I should get more premix for him to work on. :)

Took a leave today to spend sometime sending my fan to repair. What to do these days even the service centre only operate on weekdays only.

Afterwhich, I went shopping at IMM and at DAISO, guess what a surprise for me there.
There I met Serena and KweeTong with their 2 kids (Reiss and Ryan). We last met think at least 3 years back and now we met each other there. :) Too bad Joel is in school, if not it would be great playing with the 2 kids. Ryan is just like Joel loves to push the cart and refuses people to help. But it is sometimes good to have a cart pusher around. :P

It is a walk-about day for us! It just feel like we are oversea travelling, drive and shop awhile then move on to the next destination to see see look look. I wonder when would be the next time I have chance to do such thing again.

Have a look at the chicken wings that I had made sometime back.
I only marinate them with Char Siew Sauce and then baked them:


On Monday I have sleepless night thinking about a stupid mistake I have made.
It never occurred to me that one of the subcon's personnel might not be suitable for my company nature of work. It would be better to offer him a desk bound viewing his inconvienice. This never cross my mind when the program manager introduced him to me!

So ended up, on monday, I spoke to his mentor and program manager. All feel we should ask his opinion and comfort level. And hence, he too feels about diffcult in carry out the job should we need him to conduct testing. Therefore, I had his replaced by another of his collegue. I feel bad about his suitation and hope that he does not feel and discrimination about it. Last but not the least, all the best in his new job.

Hope that all of us would have chemistry and get to work on well together just like the last team I had.

I have been eating a few times in NTU canteen already since I came here on the 1st Aug.

I was told there are about 13 canteen in the whole campus.
To-date I only visited these:
1) food court near the north spine (used to be known as canteen 1)
2) Hall 14 canteen - which offer korean food
3) Hall 2 canteen - ate western food there
4) Hall 1 canteen - fish slices porridge
6) Executive Cafe - Resturant standard also cause a BIG hole in my pocket. My previous project teams members all travelled down to lunch together. So nice to see the good old teammates.
7) Bioscience faculty canteen - this is a NEW canteen which during my time do not even exist! Build is new too! See how long I have left school :P Had chicken chop when ate there... not too bad, in fact i think better than canteen 2 one. Of coz' $1 more expensive too.
8) Hall 15 canteen - here got sell north indian cruisine, however, i do not dare to try it even though smell nice as I do not see any samples in the dinning area. I would loke to try the nann and the tandori chicken. Ended up ate the least creative food - chicken rice. Urghh!


I think it would take me quite some time to finish all the canteen within the campus.

Take a look on the right side of the page, isn't the little counter looks cute? :P

haha... please do not be mistaken. I am not back in school to study.
In fact I am back to work here. My company has rent a workshop here to place one of our project. And since I am working on this project, no choice need to come here as well.

It has been 5 days since I am here. Every morning is a challegne to get out of the bed. Once I am able to see a beautiful sun rise while waiting for the bus.
