2016 Chinese New Year

Time pass so fast and it's already the Lunar New Year, usually this timing I'll be busy at work till the last minutes of the eve of CNY. But this year I'm super free! I even went to mom's place earlier to get my sis to help me with my eyelash extension.

For Lunar New Year every year same routine, have reunion dinner with mom on the eve. 1st day of CNY go back to mother-in-law place for lunch then meet my mom and sisters for dinner. 2nd day of CNY go to my mother's place for lunch with all relative then proceed to hubby's relative place for dinner.

Hubby & me on the 2nd day of CNY

This year CNY we did 2 rounds of lohei, one at my mom's place.

2nd round at Hubby's uncle place

This year CNY also got so many new members getting my ang bao!

So many kids....

Baby Hebe gets my ang bao too!

Not to mention this little nephew....he is getting more and more difficult to get in touch! He doesn't allow unknown people to carry him. Well I still managed to use handphone to grab his attention and quickly took the selfie. Guess soon he would be running around doesn't give you a chance to carry him. haha

These kids are growing too fast and I'm getting old ...

Farewell

As what I have mentioned in my previous post I have tender my resignation to my 15 years job. The last 2 weeks at there was really emotional for me. People keep coming to me telling me I shouldn't go or they will gonna miss me. Some of them I know said these from their bottom of their heart but some I know they just wanted to PR with me. I felt touched by some of them and I got upset with some others as well.

In the end I am glad there is this 2 person...

Farewell dinner arranged by partner. Enjoyed our night at Joo Bar followed by Korean Bingsoo.

Then another farewell lunch with the boss, but in my heart I really didn't feel like going. Well I really shouldn't and I regretted going. The whole lunch was meaningless, they were almost talking about work and more like a handover lunch then a farewell lunch. Really don't understand why they can be so fake.

Well at least the executive still managed to take a photo together.

Mixed feeling, I'm sure gonna miss them and miss the tea break times...

Then the last day came, 25 Jan 2016. I thought last day usually farewell gift will be given when it's about close to off work time. In the end it was presented to me after our weekly meeting, I had to give a speech and there wasn't any group photo taken. This is something I didn't expect too. Maybe they really doesn't really gonna miss me. Anyway luckily still got my team mates who brought me a additional gift.

I was touched for the effort my partner put into preparing the farewell card. She even went to find other dept's people to pen down their thoughts. I love the farewell card. It somehow fill up all the unhappiness for my last day.

Anyway that's everything for the Farewell. There goes my 15 years.

Good Bye 2015!

Goosh another year ending. How was your 2015? For me, I really didn't quite like 2015 and actually I am kind of feeling happy it's ending soon!

2015 wasn't a lucky year for me especially towards work.

There were too many issues at work and I got so tired and frustrated over it. Things just wasn't on my side and at times other people can just throw their responsibility to me. Many times I felt as if I'm just fighting alone. So I decided to end the 2015 with a bang, resignation to end my unhappiness. Saying goodbye to a job I have worked for 14 years wasn't easy. I didn't want let out the news to others at the end of 2015. I'll wait till when we are back to work on 4 Jan then I'll tell them. I foresee some colleagues will be affected by my leaving, some intend to go as well. Doesn't know what will happened in 2016. But I'm just hopping the better for me.

2015 hubby and I went for 3 holidays, Shanghai, Bangkok and Penang. Penang was a very last minute trip. It was just one afternoon I felt so stress up at work and decided I need to go for a break. I text hubby to purchase the air ticket. Shanghai trip was with mother-in-law, a very different kind of holiday for us. It was a very relaxing trip. Bangkok was my birthday trip, it was wonderful! hahaha all about eating & shopping couldn't ask for more.

Nothing much else happened in 2015. Glad that it's ending the unlucky year for me.

Good bye 2015!

Hello 2016!!!

Advance Happy New Year to everyone!

Tue 29 Dec 2015

This post should be a short one, sorry for not keeping on my writing on my blog. I realize my posts in 2015 is very little too but I just couldn't put my heart in doing things I used to enjoy.

The title of this post is Tue 29 Dec 2015. I wanted to record this down as it marks an important date in my life. On this date I have finally tender my resignation for my job that I have been working for 14 years. Decision to make this move was hard....nights of crying in front of hubby, days of straggling at work, trying to think for reason for me to stay put.

Finally many things happened just during this few weeks in Dec to make me realize I have delayed enough. It's time to move on~~

The moment I handed my letter to my boss, I felt calm. This is it, no more u-turn. My boss was pretty shock when he saw the letter. We talked for awhile and he didn't offer to make any changes and accepted my decision.

Now it is just the counting down for the one month notice.......

Shanghai Trip 2015 - Day 2

Day 2 we went for breakfast first then took cab to Yu Yuan. Breakfast Shen Jian Bao.

I felt it's a little oily but still quite nice.

Yu Yuan is quite a tourist place, very crowded. You need to be careful with pick pockets. A lot of local snacks as well, you can also purchase souvenirs there.

If you are at Yu Yuan, must not forget to eat the Nan Xiang xiao long bao there! It's the best xiao long bao I ever ate.

At night we went to bund to see the night of Shanghai.

Shanghai Trip 2015 - Day 1

We planned the trip for Mother-in-law in May, just realise I didn't blog about it. Not just that my post are getting lesser.....

Shall not give myself too much excuses any more.

This trip is a short one 4 Days 3 Nights, reason being this is consider our 2nd time going out of Singapore with MIL. We don't know how she will behave and if she has the energy to follow us through a long journey. Location selected Shanghai, reason being my MIL only eat chinese cuisine unlike my mothers who eat any cuisine. Furthermore we wanted to bring MIL to somewhere she has never been before. Taiwan & Hong Kong she went with her friends & siblings before. And I haven't been to Shanghai too so final decision was Shanghai. Hubby has been to Shanghai once in many years back then for business trip. He did want to travel out of Shanghai, I told him not to do so reason being this trip is with MIL better not get too much travelling around.

Same thing Hubby did the research and arranged everything. I am just a follower. We took Singapore Airline to Shanghai, reason being there was promotion and also MIL haven't take SQ before. Who knows on our flight to Shanghai, the flight engine got some problem to start. We were disembark the plane and wait for repair. The whole journey was delayed by 3 hours.... We only manage to reach Shanghai at 4.30pm when we suppose to reach at 1.30pm.

1st day was a little unexpected for the delay, we also met the off work/school crowd at MRT. Check-in hotel room and went out looking for dinner.

We went Hai Di Lao for dinner...yum yum....but got long queue. Hai Di Lao arranged many activities for you while you wait for your table. You will not get too bored, there's free manicure, free change face performance, movie on tv, table games...etc

They enjoying performance while waiting.

Food was yummy after that we had a walk at the East Nanjing Road where our hotel was.
