Fragments of August

Presenting the final post of August!
It will be September soon!
♪ Do you remember the 21st night of September?
Love was changing the mind of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away~ ♫
SCT articles
Work at Subordinate Courts; SCT, gets easier as the days went by. Overall it's a pretty okay job where there's time to relax, chat and play :) Of course, that's excluding the nasty court users, sudden change of procedures and annoying people like AD, KS, CS... O.Q
Hmm, this post would usually contains stuff relating to SCT. But of course, none of the stuff posted would be work related (can't be post also... the cases are private and confidential... and also BORING!) Only the fun n exciting will be posted and they will be posted in random order...
O K ? ? ? ~ (^3^)b

We have this monthly fruits day thing which
we would receive different types of fruits every month!
So for the month of August, we received grapes and an apple (@.@)
Not that I will eat them :X *gives to parents!!*

Because of Yvonne, I actually went back playing Playfish games
like Pet Society, Restaurant City and Country Story;
which I thought I have given them up long time ago (@.@)
Those charts in the picture above are actually check list for us opening the different types of boxes (red, purple, gold) in Pet Society. We would get random items from the boxes we opened. Our aim is for everyone to obtain every single item that is available from the boxes xD
We did succeed in the end :P

Even drew out the family tree for our kingdom xD!!
Hilarious stuff.

Enjoyed creating stuff from blu-tack
Usually morbid related ;)

This person even has a story to him xD
Quoted from facebook comment list.
*PILOT EPISODE of DISTURBING ME*
Akira Star: he was such a good man.... well, that was until he died. O.Q~
Windy Yeo: He was never alive!!! D=
Akira Star: he was killed one day by construction girder... accidentally (kinda like final destination) His poor skull got bashed in, his neck got ripped into half and blood flowed out from his eyes and mouth. Such an unexpected accident. He wasn't suppose to die in such a terrible way.
Windy Yeo: =A= you are so free to come out with his death huh... omg...
Chiong Wen Jie: lolz
Akira Star: .... *pause* Who would be the next one to be killed in such a horrendous way???? Would the next one be you, or you, or EVEN YOU?!?!?!!?

Windy Yeo: Due to the unfortunate events, our main actor "blue-tack" has been spirited away. show will be cancel.

Windy Yeo: untagged & tagged the so called steel girder as you.. more suitable.. since you are the one that cause its death. =X

Windy Yeo: y scared of us? D= dun worry la. I will give you a PAINLESS one than Mr Blue-Tack.

After each rainy period, the snails would emerge from their hiding places (the plants area outside subcourt) to have fun! :D Most of them are actually babies or children snails! With their cone shells not formed properly yet. XueNi and I would squat there and begin taking pictures of them in the drizzle :)

Something that I have forgotten to post in last month's fragment
will be posted here :P
My parents bought a cockatiel for my paternal aunt as a birthday present because her first cockatiel flew away. So here's the new pearl cockatiel; still looking very awkward and clumsy :P

Seeing double... again? :P
Same breed as Koko!


Still very spotty!! & has baby bird smell :P
Don't know whether girl or boy yet (^o^)/
Spots fade after first moulting = boy
Spots didn't fade = girl
Special trait for pearl cockatiels only~

Seeing the new bird brings back memories of Koko when he is a spotty baby!
Now with faded spots, he is a very handsome young boy :P

And also,
one of the dark nights, a pigeon came to sleep outside of my house's service balcony!
It was really awesome sight... for me :)

Perching right next to my parent's room window!

Damien wanted to grab the pigeon from window... =_=
Luckily my mama was there to stop him from doing so.

There's one more resting on the floor above us.

Fragments of July
Saturday, July 31, 2010 @ 4:33 AM
Presenting the final post of JULY!
Yay, yay, yay!
Onward here, I go!~
New sections set up: "SCT articles" & "A Miscellany" :P
For all the random miscellaneous mini posts/picture (^o^)/
No "Feathered Friends" this month though :(
GV GRAND stuffs
I'll start with this section first... as it will be the last time it will appeared :(
After I started work at Subordinate Courts (subct), I had this period of two weeks to resign from GV. Yep, due to the new rules and regulations... those who didn't request work for two weeks would be sent a termination letter!
So during the two weeks, I went back to GV Grand regularly after my work at subct; to clear my stuffs in the locker, able to walk in and out of the theatres, office and staff room freely and also to use my last chance of free movie sign-ins!
Anyway, glad that before I left GV...
The conclusion of the "Incentive Program from 8th April to 30th June 2010" was out!! :D
I really had fun during twelve weeks. The teamwork we had together was awesome; the determination and motivation to earn as many points (and of course, deducting the least points :P) was a rush~ Of course, the cash rewards was really motivate us the most :P Only the 1st and 2nd were able to win the CASH. The rest... gets nothing!

The rest... gets nothing!

Total group points of all the weeks!
My team's points is 5490!! SECOND PLACE!! :D

Daily Individual Points and Weekly Individual Points.
I contributed 740 points to the team! :D

The results :)
First place, the team will get $1000 cash rewards that
will be divide to how much each team member have contributed.
Second place, will be $500 cash rewards - same as follows.
Too bad that I couldn't participate in the next round of the Incentive Progam :(
Anyway,
My parents drove over to Great World City
to help me bring my stuffs back home... (O.Q)

Here are all my stuffs that was transferred
from the locker and into the mineral water box.
Looks like I got sacked, right? xD

With also, this TOY STORY 3 wall standie :P
Awesome, eh?!

::12th July 10::
From this day on, I'm no longer a staff of GV Grand (Q.Q)
14/08/2008 - 12/07/2010
Almost two years...

Hur~~ (T.T)
After signing the resignation form, I went to the staff room for one last time to do a final check of my locker (to see if anything was left behind). And then, walked back to the office to return my GV uniforms, nametag and locker key. (btw, I didn't return my GoldClass nametag and also, the extra set of GoldClass uniform!! :X keepsake items for remembrance!)

It's as bare as Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard.
(Twin Terrors 4ever!!)

The act of removing of my name from the locker...
Lastly...

To claim my HSBC's Everyday Movie Privileges Card :P
(Thanks, WenJie!!~)
By the way,
Hope we do win the "Despicable Me" decorating competition!!!
'cos if we do... I still will get a share of the prize; even though I'm not of GV Grand no more! :D

I WILL MISS MY WONDERFUL DAYS AND COLLEAGUES OF GV GRAND!!♥♥♥
(though I will definitely come visit from time to time... until there's no one I know there anymore...)~★★~
SCT articles
And this marks a beginning of a new section :)
I began work at Subordinate Courts @5th July 2010. Working as a Court Officer in the Small Claims Tribunal. Work was really hard as first. Much more stuffs to memorize and learn. But thanks to my fellow colleagues (XueNi, Yvonne, ParCun, HuiYing, Rita, Albert, Rita...), I managed to get a hang of it. I think without them, I would die a horrible death! Dx

Of Civil Servant ranking...

Tried this new Honey Chipotle Shaker Fries from McDonald's during my lunch break :)
(lunch break is of one hour; unlike gv's twenty minutes :X)

Sometimes there would be random treats of food from the Assistant Registars
or free buffet food from meetings/talks.
Well, this was one of those food :3

And introducing, XueNi's bunny-eared cactus that she brought to work!
~★★~
GOOD FOOD fragment
This time, I stamped the date at the top left corner of the picture :)
Neater this way!
(Damn it!! I have stamped the wrong year... It should be "2010".)

with WenJie~
My order:- Bentendo Special 'Any 2 Choices of Pasta!'
(Carbonara & Bolognaise)

Celebrating first month anniversary with WenJie♥
My order:- Black Pepper Crab Tung Hoon
(the food here only so-so... if you fancy expensive hawker centre food... in a restaurant...
yea, my order cost $14 w/o including GST and service charge yet!)

Macadamia Chocolate Chip Cookies, to be precise (@.@)

The results after three hours of pure hard work xD!

Yay, thanks XueNi for helping me and
letting me use her kitchen + baking equipments!

with WenJie~
My order:- Penne Mama Mia
(just penne and chicken chunks baked with cheese sauce, topped with mozzarella cheese)
(yup! TCC promo~ Buy 1 main course/pasta and get 2nd main course/pasta + premium coffee/tea free!)

with WenJie again :X
My order:- Crispy Oyster and Shimeji Spaghetti
(don't like the oysters... very fishy D:)
(the final day of TCC Promo!! T.T)

Classy~♪

as you guessed it... with WenJie :X
My order:- Shrimp Supreme
(first time eating at Wendy's; the food... like that loh.)
~★★~
Random items bought:-

Ribbon earrings @90cents per pair! :P
Then I realized they are too gay for me to wear D:
Games played:-

Tried Animal Kaiser, due to WenJie's influence...
You spend $2 to play the game and you will get a random card at the end of it...
To sum up, it's $2 for a card. (didn't like it... waste of money D:)

Another of those arcade game craze, Toami-gyo.
Using tokens as nets to catch fishes. Bigger the fish, better the amount of tokens gain.
I used to think it's a waste of money and time too; but when the arcade at Plaza Singapura allowed the tokens to be used to exchange for the UFO catchers' plushies.
That's when I really got down to one of those machine and play! :P
With luck + $2, I'm able to change 20 tokens to over 100 tokens :D
Together with WenJie, we managed to get 350 tokens at our first attempt~
Sights:-

Was walking past the Parliament and I spotted some white spots
protruding from the nice clean lawn. So I took a closer look :D

They were like puffball mushrooms :D
This is my first time seeing such species of mushrooms!

Tried pressing down on one with my foot...
It BROKE! D:
And...

Seeing our National Flags out on the HDBs... reminds me that
August is just around the corner!!!
~★★~
And that's the end of July mini posts...
