My First Digital Camera

After so many months.. i Finally got my first Digital Camera.. I've been using my Olympus Film Camera for ages.. bought that with my first pay cheque about 4 years ago.. and till today.. it's still doing great.. but i'm in need for a change... to keep up with new technology... (ya right!!)..
anyway...I got a CANON IXUS I ZOOM... the red one.. Ah Shun got me a really good deal at Sim Lim (Song Brothers) and we got it together... a good $530.00.. Worth it? Let me know what u think..

i hope to update my photo album with photos of my family members and friends before i leave for Dubai. then i'll be filling it up with pictures and places that i've been..

Unfortunately.. i've fallen ill. Dad's on mc, Shun is sick too.. He's left for Indonesia early this morning.. and the first thing he called to ask was "Dear, What perfume do u like?" and i was like.. "Huh!.. i have tons of perfume and u wanna get me more?" DUTY FREE!!!.. Anyways, he's a real diamond to keep..

waiting to go for my vaccinations.. i've got like 5 or 6 to go for.. Man!.. i hate those injections.. makes me feel woosy.. My appointment date is with Fala, i think.. 3rd Feb (friday)

Oh.. still praying for u Sophia.. i'm still parying that u'll join us on the 16th feb.. love ya..

The Call Finally Came Through..

The call came through on the 24th January 2006 at 7.44pm from +97142032625.. I MADE IT THROUGH... i'm so so excited.. but the reality that i would be leaving my family, friends and my Yong Shun soon set in.. But i have faith in God and he has been showing me this way since last december... it's like.. everything fell in place and it's so in order, it's pretty amazing.. from the going online to view the recruiting date, 30th Dec 2005 to everything else..

i'll be going for my medical test next week after Chinese New year and i hope that everything goes well with that... i really hope so.. hehe... .

I'll be leaving Singapore on the 16th February 2006 and i think it's an early morning flight. i'll be bring my laptop with me so i still can be contacted.. No Worries about that.. and i'll keep updating my blog with pictures and videos, if possible.. ok...

Todays's also the day that i tendered my resignation for Pastamania (Causeway Point), as of today, i would have been working there for 3 years and 9 months. Now, that's a really really long time.. I love the food and i love the people there.. i'll go to dubai and have more pastamania ( they have an outlet there)... it's time for me to move on after all these years.. but that's the place where i've been groomed.. *Pasta peeps.. remember me ok.. and all the good times we shared*

so till then everyone.. thanks for your wonderful prayers and support... do keep praying for my safety while travelling and all'll be well... *muacks*

*Trust in the Hands of the Lord*

lovez...

Ichiba Boshi

It was actually kinda like a celebration.. Cause Shun's FYP project received a Gold Award for the SPinnovex.. it was up for the LTAs presentation.. so proud of his efforts and that of his team mates.. he even sacrificed SO MUCH TIME with me for that project.. hehe.. i'm not complaining darling...

Pool & Supper

Today... Work was alright... Pretty boring ... but in the evenin, Nick, Vic, Jank Jank and I went to play pool at Orchid Country Club... and that was fun.. it's been eons since we last played and we were all totally off form.. haha... i managed to win nick so u can imagine how off form he was.. and i'm already super pathatic in pool...
I remember how it was during our Year 1 days in SP... We're at a pool hall every other day and even during exams... Jurong East entertainment Centre.. the nearest... hehe
After that we went for supper... that was like 11pm.. at the fried oysters were pathatic... $3.oo = 3 oysters.... tsk tsk... Boycotting that place already....

But nevertheless.. it was really great catching up with my Sec Sch classmates... we're really great friends... Also, the wait for my results are killing me.. i'm up till 3am thinking about it.. cause it's usually the weekends that they'll call.. Dubai's Thrusdays and Fridays are their weekends so i'll prob get the call on Saturdays or Sundays.. i'm so nervous about it...

Lovez..
~Vicky~

P.S: Can someone tell me where to find good fried oysters?

One Place i would love to go back to... Japan...

I went on an exchange programme to Japan in May 2004... about a year and a half back.. but till this very day... i still remember what i was like there... living with my Host.. my "family"... i remember the smell of the air when i was there.. so fresh and the very high hills when i look outside my bedroom window... i remember everything.. Especially the scenary from up there... all the greenery...

When Motoki, Noriko's (my host) good friend drove us, Carol, Neetha and myself to the mountains, The Tateyama Mountains... it was fantastic.. we had so so much fun there.. it was my first time seeing snow and playing in snow.. i felt so overwhelmed by the white cool surroundings.. We were having a blast having show fights and sliding down the wet snow and then having numb butts. haha.. it was really fun. i took home some stone from the mountain before i left. i also had one of the best sumptious lunches there ever... on the Mountain... in the mids of all the snow outside... It was Absolutely Fantastic... i managed to engrave my name and that of Yong Shun's on the walls along the road leading down the mountain... the walk down was really cold and when the fog came we could hardly see 10 ft in from of us...

one of my fav. pics had a backdrop of the mountains... really pretty... i'll see if i can find more pics and i'll try to load it ..

i'll tell u more then...

A week has gone by...The wait continues

Due to the recent death of the ruler of Dubai, the wait for my result continues... it's nerve wreaking and i'm trying my best not to think about it at all..
My gal friends and i are really waiting anxiously....

in the mean time, all that's happening in my life is work.. at Pastamania.... my Baby's too busy with his FYP Presentation so i hardly meet up with him... going out with my Emirates gals tomorrow to take Sophie out for some Kenny Rogers.. Yummy...

other than that.. nothin' much... just stay tuned for the results...

Lovez...
~Vicky~

It's over and done..

Finally, my interviews with Emirates are over.. The last one was not as bad at the 2nd interview. It actually was more like a conversation than an interview.. asking about my past experiences with Pastamania and my Students' Union days stating scenarios and how i handled them.
there was lots of laughter and the thing is that.. i was comfortable. i was so myself and they evaluated me on that. one interviewer was writing and the other one asking.. both are really really nice women who were with us from the 2nd interview.
and my so glad i didn't ahve to go through this phase alone. i met two wonderful girlfriends there, Sophie and Fala. Sophie was with SIA and Cathay for a period of time and the other was my roommate on my of my cruise trips, (poly forum; remember the girl who was with the bikini, ya her) and the three of us hit it off right away. we were each others support system and motivators. went for the photo shoot together and made it through the final interview together. i really hope that my girls and i made it. it would be so good to have a familiar face to see there.

anyways.. the results would be in from dubai soon, i'm just waiting for that phonecall.. in the mean time.. check out the video "My Humps" by The Black Eye Peas.. till then peeps...

Lovez
