Distress time...

It has been quite stressful since I started working at my current company. The project I am working on has tight schedule and a lot of things need to be done. I have been working OT everyday! The worst thing is that I feel so demoralize as my other team mates have resigned! sigh sigh.. The worst thing is we do not have an understanding pm! (my dear team mates, your should noe who i am refering to! The wicked witch! haha...). Life really sucks! I cant stand her and we cant seem to communicate well! There's always confusion and her instructions are always unclear and there always seem to be misunderstandings between us and her! Argh.... sometime I told myself to endure abit cause life is just full of ups and downs and I cant expect her to be a perfect person for there is no one born flawless! So here I am pouring out my sorrows!!! In the evening, I am out with my dear sisters at the esplanade! Yah here we are again since yesterday! We went into an Italian restaurant, Al Dente. A nice and romantic ambience I would say. The restaurant is just near the embassy and it has a open roof top where you can enjoy the view of fullerton hotel and one fulleton just across! The food that I ordered is the lobster spaghetti which is delicious! I had also ordered a lychee ice tea which is the first time I tried fruits and tea combination! But I would say the restaurant does has a limited variety and I think most customers who visited paid for the ambience rather than the food. Its not cheap though but its fine once in a while! haha... I still remember passing by that time helping a friend to ask for their valentine menu since it is around the corner that time. It sure would be romantic to have your food there under the dim candlelight on a cooling night with your love one...

Wonderful day 30 Oct 2004

A tiring day as I dragged myself up from my cosy bed on a Saturday! Hmm.. shouldnt I still be in my sweet dream having work so hard for the past few days! Well, cant help it since I got to get things done before I can go out with my family at ease. It was the normal same old Saturday where I usually have a family outing. We started with Bugis Guan Yin temple as our first destination followed by suntec then finally the esplanade also known as "durian" or "wings of a flies". There 's nothing much to mention of for we only shopped at the aforementioned places. After which we walk a long way to esplande to have our dinner at Ichiban. A nice ambience japanese restuarant that serve delicious japanese food though the restaurant itself doesnt have Jap style as per normal Japanese restuarant should look like! The food variety and service were many times better than sakae sushi and I strongly recommend my friends to eat there the next time I go out with them!;p But my spirits and moods lightened when we go for a taxi boat ride near the esplande! I feel as if I am a tourist relooking Singapore from another angle! It was a 30mins ride that cost $12/head. The ticket seller, an elderly uncle offered to us at a discount price of $10/head. Hmm...initially I was so worried for the dark clouds are gathering and flash of lightning striked past, it seemed as if it is going to pour soon! I feel butterflies in my stomach whenever fears arise as I am scared of boat rides since young. Surprisingly, the ride was a smooth one with the boat moving acorss the river in a smooth and steady speed. It was simply cooling as I feel the wind blowing gently on my face. My fears turn into calmness when my attention was diverted to the beautiful night scenery of fullerton hotel! A majestic and grand building standing tall, the best architecture in Singapore which deserves more than a glance! On a glance at the other side, there are stars above the esplanade, so sparkling and shining, adding brightness and warmth to the cold night. I felt much relieved and delighted for all my frustration, stress and worries were abandoned and forgotten at that moment. This cold night has turn into a warm and comfortable night for somehow my heart was calmed by it. Suddenly, I reminisced the times I have spent chatting at the coffee bean at boat quay and taking the boat ride with my secondary school friends. It would have been a romantic ride with your love one! okie frenz, I shall recommend you to go for the taxi boat ride if you have no where to go with your girlfriends or boyfriends! ~*wink wink*~ I falled into deep sleep when I reach home.
