Mr MB was very sweet on Saturday coz he paid for all my meals! (yes, i'm EASILY bribed if you give me food :P)

After soaking up the sun with a good swim at his condo pool, we made our way to nice Japanese fish market for some REAL cheap and fresh sashimi dinner (as promised by his mum(

According to his mum, it's "all the way to the end of Prince George's Park at NUS". So without having a clue to where exactly we're going to go, we drove out.

We made our way through the famous "99-Curves" road at NUS (the road as it sounds, is INDEED very curvy, need to be real careful when maneuvering) and VOILA! we saw The Village Centre.

The place is quietly stashed away from all the traffic and the bustling city and lotsa expats were hanging out at the Harry's at the ground level.

Sakuraya is family owned Japanese fish market. Besides selling a wide variety of fresh fish (the likes of yellowtail *my fave*, swordfish, tuna, salmon, scallop and ABALONE!), they also have Japanese dried foodstuffs, sake and mochi ice-cream.

We ordered almost 300g of yellowtail, swordfish and salmon plus a bowl of hot udon and potato korokke to balance out the fishy-ness. It was HEAVENLY. *shmucks*

The sashimi were so fresh that they taste so sweet even without dipping into any sauce or wasabi.

And the BEST thing? The bill only cost us $46. *hohohohoho*

Finally caught in the theatres with Theresa and Yong-xiang last night!!

Dunno why, but the past few movies I've watched were either boring or lacklustre, but thank goodness for Hairspray!!

Was really smiling throughout the show and gushing at the oh-so-dashing ZAC EFRON!!!

Goodness, he's so good looking can? The definitive blue eyes were jus electrifying *swoons* Makes me feel like back in St. Nicks when us girls will go ga-ga over cute guys. Hahaha :D

Anyway, I totally love the songs in the movie and all the lyrics are all telling stories in the show! Esp like the opening "Good Morning Baltimore" and "Welcome to the 60s". Everyone can really dance and sing, wished I could do that too!

But my goose pimples were coming out when cross-dressed John Travolta who acted as the mum was flirting and dancing with the dad at the laundry area. Just feels weird looking at her acting like a woman. But must give credits for those smooth moves even tho he's packed with fats. :P

Tracy by Nikki Blonsky was good too! Very optimistic and cheerful, liked it when she smiles and dance to the groovy tunes.

It's a good movie! Those who haven't catch it should do it soon coz seems like it's going to end its screen pretty sooon!!

Good morning Baltimore~~~~

What can I say? I guess I'm still not THAT fickle after all... *grinz*

I can still remember clearly what it was like on the first day of work.

Wearing my best, woke up early to be prepared and walked to office with hOi from Raffles.

The feeling was excited and nervous. Thrilled to be finally starting on a permanent job and earning my own keep yet nervous at the prospect of dunno what I should be expecting.

I remembered we had to introduce ourselves and a few pieces of information that links each one of us together, and I said that me and my neighbour standing beside me stayed along the NEL route. That was really funny, coz it seemed so desperate to establish that 6 degrees of separation.

At the end of the 2 weeks orientation, everyone seemed much closer, which is also for the fact that majority of us (in fact almost ALL except for 3) were from NTU Accountancy.

The first few months were the usual merry-making: meet-ups on Friday nights, luncheons together (and still is now) with whoever is in office, our usual 14th floor hang-out area ( i guess all the people sitting nearby already know us very well).

My mum always say that I shouldn't trust my heart 100% to my colleagues at work. But i beg to differ, especially not to this great bunch of people who I had fond memories with.

It's true that as the years go by, some people just lose that touch of innocence and became more skeptical, scheming and materialistic. But that's just coz of the circumstance we're forced to adapt to. But with this bunch of pals I've made over the past year, I'm definite to say that they're "something decent" :)

Looking back the past 1 year, I must say it was fun-filled and a very encouraging one.

Many times I've questioned myself if this is the path that I should take. I question my worth, my capabilities and the work that i was assigned.

But it always come to a conclusion: Everyone is experiencing the same situation as me, so in no other way am I worse than any other people around.

I feel encouraged with the company of my friends, knowing that I can always look for this bunch of people whenever I needed help.

It's like a community of our own, helping one another, giving each other some love, care, concern and a push when one is down.

It's really heartening when I feel frustrated at work, to know that I have my pals who are surviving in this shit pool with me and is like a silver-lining at the end of all the rainy clouds.

I'm really thankful and blessed to know this unique group of friends and I believe everyone thinks the same way too.

I can't believe it's already been a year since we first came into PwC!

Time really flies ya? So much has changed.. From the 40 to 36 now and 1 in PwC London. But I'm proud to say we're still going strong!

I can't say much about other batch of associates, but I can say it out loud that my batch of peeps are the best I can ever have.

We laugh, we joke, poke fun at each other, mass lunches, Friday outings, drinking sessions, karaoke, mahjong and so much more!

I think is great that most of us are of similar age and come from same Uni, so everyone can kind click with each other and working has never been so much fun and looked forward to.

I'm really thankful for these bunch of people. For their company and much laughter brought into my life, I feel so blessed. :)
