CNY Lunch with Custodian
The lunch at Peony Jade was good. Even better than Noble House according to my colls who had been to the latter numerous times. Shall not name the custodian bank. FYI, this lunch was already declared so I have nothing to hide.
I was fortunate to be sitting beside the boss of this client svc team. She asked if this is my first job and mentioned she's currently interviewing ppl as they are hiring. So tempted to ask for a referral etc. I tot of trying client service next. But after the lunch with them, totally changed my mind. Hate all the socializing (be it fake or genuine). Dun like having to bow down to ppl and even having to serve us food. I can't rem any other times I have served anyone other than those days when I did some waitressing jobs.
I always tot meeting new people is great. It's networking and helps U to get to places or get things done fast. I guess it is true under most circumstances except when U are in a client svc team. When you are serving clients, you need to be jovial at all times, keep temperament in check and always placing clients first. I think I will suck at this job if I really do it. Anyhow, it felt really good being the client!
Contradicting. Hmmm...

Zoo and Valentine
Welcoming us right after the entrance of the zoo were alligators look-alike. Called False something. I can't rem the exact name. But of cos they are for real. Try dropping some food for them...
Abit exaggerated I noe. But the weather was really sweltering hot. I didn't wanna perspire much nor get uneven tan so my brolly and fan were super handy. I was all packed for the excursion along with bottled drink and snacks. Feels like a primary kid all over. Haha...
White Tigers - I think it was the most popular attraction with many people taking pics and watching the tiger prowling back and forth...
Loads of monkies around too. Can't rem this is a Chimpanzee or watever breed. But it's really cute. Sat there by itself as though pondering abt its life in the zoo...
Squirrels look-alike and giraffes.
Elephants on the loose!
They are actually on their way to the scheduled perfomance. Enjoyed the show time. These giant jumbos totally kept us entertained and amused with their antics. It started to rain halfway through the show. Thankfully, we were intending to head back already anyway. Aren't the above pics super clear? Taken with my new camera :) But the files sizes are huge. Have just adjusted the image property. Hope my future pics will not turn out to be so big otherwise it will always take this slow to upload...

Pampered myself with manicure on Valentine then caught the movie "Just Go with It". Seems abit predictable where the 2 most impossible people get together. Funny plot along the way as the guy was actually trying to woo some other gal. I wanna catch "No strings attached" next. This romantic comedy should be equally funny if not better.
Will blog abt my custodian lunch today in my next entry. Coll took a grp pic of our table...

My Valentine's Present
After much urging from my frenz to get a new camera, I finally got one Sony Cybershot! And it comes in the form of a Valentine's present. Yippie! THANK U!! So happy... I got it charged and all ready to capture pics at the zoo this Sat. Confirmed no more blurry shots and poor lighting :) Another item to be striked off from my wishlist. The headache now is where can I sell my old Casio camera? Anybody noe of any 2nd-hand shops which will take in old cameras? Pls let me noe...
Looking forward to my long weekend already. And I will not dread going bk to work next Tue cos Custodian is treating us to lunch at Peony Jade. I'm expecting the food to be as good as their mooncakes. A pity I wouldn't be able to take pics of the food cos it will appear unprofessional in front of them. Oh yeah and my comp had Lo Hei yest. Managed to shake hands with Tony Tan and take a photo with him. Still waiting for the pic to be uploaded by my coll...

CNY 2011
I think if I still dun blog, CNY will be over in no time. Had to work on the 1st day of the Rabbit Lunar New Year and there were loads of urgent stuffs and problems with fundings. Thankfully I still managed to finish on time for gym. This is to ensure that I will always have work to do for the rest of this year and exercises to keep me healthy. Anyway, the nieces and nephews whom I used to play with are all grown ups already. Ang Bao collection is the main thing I look fwd to now. $$ more than enough for my food and transport allowance this mth :)
Something different this year: We dropped by Angeline's house for visiting. It was fun - Lou Hei with own grp of frenz, some rounds of MJ/Monopoly Deal/Dai Dee, pizza for dinner and playing with Xbox Kinect (which was unfortunately hanged by me several times).
Looking fwd to my Zoo pass this weekend and Valentine's Day next Mon which I'm claiming my off in lieu...
