subway 1for1

the cheapo that i am and also being a loving sister, I braved the long queue to enjoy the nationwide promotion which subway was having today! pretty worth it! i can really eat sandwiches everyday mans!

Whiteboard marker(284/365)

In every meeting, there will be presentations, coaching and whiteboard markers will be used. When i was younger, i bought a mini whiteboard and hang it in my room. I bought alot alot of markers then and i drew on my whiteboard with my markers all night long. making myself look very important with lots of schedules written on it such as my timetable. Self planned timetable that is.

Auto open umbrella (283/365)

Now this is an umbrella I will proudly bring out on the streets.

It is red.

It is automatic.

What else do i need?

Traders Hotel lunch buffet

I have an external training for these 2 days at traders hotel. and so lunch is provided for! very sumptuous buffet lunch, totally spoilt for choice! they had Japanese, Chinese, indian, Italian cuisines and even our local hainanese chicken rice! and of course there was the dessert corner with the choc fondue and even ice cream! I was so full after that and it was so difficult to stay awake! greedy me at work again.

getting lost in the west

the west side of Singapore is like a foreign land to me. I'm a true blue Eastie and i love the east! however, my job entailed me to head to the west today. almost got lost trying to figure out the stupid LRT system! in all, spent like 4 hours travelling to and backS gosh, the west really feels so unfamiliar and different from the east, even though Singapore is so small!

Notebook (282/365)

It is at the time year again where companies start giving out notebooks and calendars for the new year. This notebook is from IG. IG Markets that is. Well, they don't give free notebooks to their customers though i am one. Just so happen, my partner works in there and he doesn't want his notebook.

I will put it to good use and start next year well with resolutions i will keep!

container

even though I've been in my current new job for only 2 months and haven't yet worked on any promotions, but I heard that promotions with containers as freebies usually have very effective results! and I wonder why..

well containers are not only used to store food or to pack lunch boxes, it has so many other functions. can be used to store jewelleries, stationeries, cultery etc. so many uses no wonder it's so well received!

Remember this? (281/365)

I love Monopoly! A big monopoly game fan so when McDonald came up with the monopoly game card thing, i naturally was attracted and started eating alot of macs which i usually hate to. The rule of the game is simply, just collect one full collection and you can stand a chance to win whatever prize there are. Just like the real game of monopoly, which i can be pretty good with.

But no, i am not lucky to win anything. haha!

new clock!

woo~ my kitchen has a new green clock! looks alittle old fashioned with the flower design and abit out of place in the kitchen. nonetheless, it's still green! I realised there are many clocks at home. one in each room, not including the many smaller alarm clocks lying around. but i think it's normal to have a clock in every room isn't it?

Cosmo Oct Issue (280/365)

I am a Cosmo subscriber. I am since their first issue in Sep 2011. I still remember it was the bright orange cover with the very pretty Michelle Chia that attracted me to buy the first copy and I'm hooked since then. And so far, they have not failed me. Their vibrant colours and information all in one magazine. The best part is that when i subscribe, it is cheaper than the actual rate available in the newspaper stands and book shops.

I love Cosmo!

Classic lipstick holder (279/365)

Have you seen your mum use this when you were little? I have. my mum has a lipstick holder, similar to this. When i was much younger, i would see her put this in her bag, taking it after every meal and reapply the lipstick that she might have wiped away during the meal.

Do young girls still use this nowadays? I don't see that many around. They now have just one big bag full of cosmetic and they will dump whatever all into it. This is mummy's era. The trend then.

Greenwitch

this is a new salad place I found near my office. don't think the shop is exactly new but more of I recently discovered its presence since I don't normally go to that area to eat. and I really love this salad place!

the portion are relatively large! and it was able to fill me! normally I wouldn't see salads as a full meal. but I was really full after lunch today. there is a wide variety of selection. for the small portion, it's $4.90 and you get to choose up to 2 dishes and for the medium size at $7.90, you get to choose 3 dishes! it works abit like the cai fan way. and the servings are generous.

I'll be sure to go back here for lunch more often!

bus ad

this mediacorp saving Gaia ad at the bus stop called my attention. thought the little kid dressed in the bumble bee suit is really adorable! next time I'll buy such costume for my kid to wear! =p

but as I look at the ad, I don't really understand the link to it. is this promoting mediacorp or the saving Gaia campaign?

Cutest dessert (278/365)

This has got to be the cutest dessert i have seen being offered up on a plate to me. Yes, they are just watermelon but served in a cute way.

This is found in Ju Shin Jung Korean BBQ Restaurant, after the buffet. It is always the smallest thing that will make my way, just like these heart shaped watermelon.

market research

I was shortlisted for a face to face survey and it was conducted at this obscure place in hong kong street. i found the surveyor rather incompetent though. i had to guide her myself. in fact, I found her quite slow and I was getting slightly impatient halfway. I think if I had done the survey myself, I could have completed it much faster! was given a token of $50 after the survey. that was the only saving grace!

Smoking really kills ( 277/365)

Can you see the words written on it: "Smoking seriously harms you and others around you" But i don't think it ever stopped anyone from buying it.

They have attemtped to put disgusting pictures on the cigarette pack, such as a rotting foot, super damaged mouth etc. But i asked smokers before, does it bother or affect them, they say not really. I used to try smoking. The word is try, but i never liked it. Not the taste, not the smell, and not the way i look when i light up a cigarette. Cannot imagine why are there still so many female smokers around. Hello ladies, you really don't look pretty smoking! think of all the right person you could be attracting but turned away when you smoke!

another card in the mail!

and I have 2 cards sent by post this year! how sweet is that :))

my friends really know me. both birthday cards are also green in colour! as I've declared before, I really love cards!!

Ladies only (276/365)

I love such signs. Yes, i know you guys must be thinking am i crazy or what? What is so special about toilet signs. But i am someone who loves anything exclusive to female. And toilet sign is the first thing i ever learnt of female exclusivity.

Like i have a tee-shirt which is pretty much worn out from ages ago that has a toilet sign on it. And i have a keyholder that has a female toilet sign on it too.

 

PS Cafe @ Ann Siang

had a late night catch up over drinks, mountain of truffle fries and decadent chocolate cake to chase the Monday blues away! and it was another birthday treat for me! =p I have such doting friends! yay! :)

I really love truffle fries and apparently ps cafe has one of the best! it's my first time trying it and yes I think it's good! :)

thanks for a great night! despite the humid weather. haha.

Have you tipped? (275/365)

One always see this at the cashier of a restaurant. And the superstitious restaurants will stick gold coins somewhere on the tip box. How often do we tip in Singapore. I guess not very often for Singaporeans. Our 7% GST and 10% service charge already sometimes make us unhappy, i cannot imagine any Singaporeans wanting to tip further.

So why do some restaurants still put up a fight and insist on putting a tip box there? They are playing with law of large number that people might want to tip, maybe the non-Singaporeans. And they can slowly accumulate until it reaches a large amount.

I for one, will not tip. Not in Singapore, not anywhere actually.
