Work and Life

My comfort zone always expands at work. New experience, new things to do, new challenges, new attempts and failures, always scary because I keep having to climb out of my shell...and I am so glad that there is support with this company.

Why I go for the double dose by living my life in London? o.O where life outside the office serves just as the same.

Am wondering whether conflicts at work actually keeps the profits going...like contractors are stress to be on time, whereas engineers care more on preventing the building falling rather than trying to hand designs in on time. What a conflict to balance and negotiate. Maybe it's a good thing to keep people on their toes. It all boils down to a decision both parties are happy with. It may not be perfect, but it is good enough to console one another.

Isn't that similar to relationships? This world is round both physically and emotionally.

St Pauls and Tate Modern

There are pics and explanation on my flickr! Check it out :)

Avenue Q


I thoroughly enjoyed it haha. It's pretty much Sesame Street adult version. D noticed a group of old ladies at the front not looking all too impressive, heh. We manage to get half price of the cost and it was held in a small stage area too so there was maximum viewing. We had a tv screen next to us too which was a plus.

Bits that I love:

'Everyone's a little bit racist'
'It sucks to be you'
'The internet is for porn'
'Purpose'
'For now'

Anyway, while I was eating lunch, I noticed a few things about packaging. Thought I'd share it too :)

What you get everytime you buy package food. VEry health conscious these days...calories, fat, suger content, etc

Foody weekend

Saturday started off with shopping for something to wear for a tea party. Being a girl, I ended up not buying that and bought other stuff instead o.O. I spent perhaps one hour or more eying at a skirt I want, and went to perhaps 3 other H&M and Uniqlo stores along Oxford street and couldn't find the size I want.

And all I was after was a simple plain black skirt.

The thing about UK shopping is eventhough it is not a sale, when you come back to get the jacket you want, the sizes are all gone. So when you find something you like, whether or not it's on sale, it'll be gone when you come back again.

Anyhoo, I went back to the same store and waited patiently for one of the sales assistant to grab the skirt off a mannequin...yeah, I was that desperate because I really like that black skirt. It was a sweet ending to my shopping spree :). Other stuff I bought was a scarf, bracelet, necklace, a cute pair of ear rings, a silk shirt and some fine merino top...and I avoided looking at each receipts when I got home.

And while I was out shopping and playing badminton, D decided to attempt on making Authentic Chicken Rice!!! And I am so proud of him!! He was so detailed, hehe...to the point that he marinated the chicken with salt, garlic, and ginger and pre-cook rice with oil and garlic before actually cooking it!

Sunday was spent at a High Tea party celebrating a friend's birthday. It was held at the Royal Garden Hotel near Kensington palace. Reasonable and it was great to have girl chat for a change. We get to pick the tea we want, and whether we want a champagne type tea or normal. We were serve a shelve of plates with yummy lovely soft scones on top, dessert in the middle and sandwhiches at the bottom. The best bit was that we got refills, and we were shock that we had tea cakes after our mains as we were all stuffed!

The waitress was kind enough to take away in boxes and we gave it to the birthday girl :)

YUM

Beautiful ladies...and the underdressed one on the left, :P

Was so stuffed but me and D headed for more food at a friend's flat.Pasta and chicken. Was super stuffed with sugar,but was keen to see our friend's flat.

Am headed for a busy week for work. Stuff are all due in all at one go, eeps. But I can't complain since I'm getting paid by the hour, woohoo!

Cooking 101

First time that I attempted to cut a whole chicken! Thanks to this instruction, heh. Took me about half an hour. I did everything except splitting the drumstick and thighs...Place the middle carcasses in one bag, wings and breasts in a container, and drumstick and thighs in one bag

Anyhoo, I'm addicted to broccoli and cauliflower mixed with cheese and garlic sauce...Mmmmm, super lazy to cook meat, so it's mostly processed. Didn't wana cook rice for myself either since it's only me eating. Voila~ my second dish!

2 weeks

So we have moved in for about 2 weeks now, things are settling down quite well, with a huge Tesco nearby that sells cheaper groceries and a shopping mall. Things feel more spacious, quite, safe and further away from the crowd. All of this with a higher price to pay, plus it is close to a lake, river, park and the Thames river too. We passed a ship that is actually a residential area!

Anyhoo, the first time moving in, I couldn't stand the back garden's over grown trees...

So, having not enough tools in the house, I used my trusty old pen knife (thanks dad for the gift, it has done me well :)) and cut down the branches by nailing a small dent to each branch.

And ta daaaaa!

Hehehe, darling D finished it abit more by trimming down the branches and putting it in the compost bag for the rubbish people to pick up.

Work has been fine, spent the weekend at home saving money instead. We went jogging and found a monkey bar~~ did abit of workout and now our bodies's sore as a turnip. The singaporean chilli crab festival was on today but oh well...save it all for a a malaysia trip ;)
