Mini Farewell cum Gathering
Yesterday I had a mini farewell cum gathering with my colleagues.
It was fun catching up with those who had left.
The company just dun feel the same without them.
The reason I kept the group small is because the few of us are close and there will be more laughters this way.
Waiting for photos now.
Brandon and I kept counting down to Genting!

Universal Studios
Photos!!!
My thoughts on Universal Studios...
1) Some rides are not fully opened, better go next year instead.
2) Time management is important, since some shows have timings, thus, plan your schedule well. A pamphlet will be given to you stating all the show times.
3) Luck plays a part too. Meet the characters session seriously depends on whether you are at the right place at the right time. Luckily for us, all the characters we see, we were able to join the queue to take photos. I saw some kids crying because they were too late.
4) Photos with characters are limit to at most 2 photos per group. Please follow rules since there are so many people waiting to take too. I seen a father insisting on taking more photos that Princess Fiona got angry and the camera guy had to step in front of his camera and asked him to stop. His daughter was equally pai seh by his father's action.
5)Shrek 4-D show has a super long and boring movie before the actual ride. I don't understand the movie and the subtitle screen is like super far away from the movie screen. Pregnant or people who are afraid of motion can opt for motionless seats, just speak to the friendly park rangers.
6) I seriously hate the constant blowing of air from the back of the seat during Shrek 4-D movie. Super irritating. But the ride was fun. It wasn't made from a person's perspective though. It was more of like watching from the side.
7) Do explore the park as detailed as you can, you will find alot of nice places for photos.
8) Themed areas are so small, some only with one ride and that's all. Souvenir shops and eateries seem to dominate the whole park.
9) Do expect to find more sight-seeing than rides.
10) Don't be afraid to go up to the park rangers and ask them what is the ride, seems like not much is explained on the rides on the entrances.
11) Make sure you don't miss the Mummy Revenge!!!!!
12) It helps to bring extra clothes, especially when you are at Waterworld.
13) Food inside are expensive. One bottle of mineral water costs $2.50, one bottle of flavoured drink costs $3.
14) The park is not exactly big, so to catch up on rides you have to miss due to long queues are made easy.
15) 80% of park (all rides) closes at 7pm, the road leading up to entrance containing eateries and souvenirs shops opens till 9pm. Thus, play first, buy later!
16) In my opinion, worth it to buy the weekday ticket, finish all the rides and sight seeing, don't have to go back anymore.
17) They kept playing classic songs like "Accidentally In Love" from Shrek. I kept wanting to dance along to the songs. Shit!
Hope these tips help!
This is the best company event so far, second is forest adventure.
Although the work in the company sucks, but the people are nice, they are really fun loving.
Company events are a frequent thing too, once every 2 months.
They emphasise alot on team building.
And when it comes to having fun, these Koreans don't lose.
Audrey told me that not every company hold events this frequently.
I guess this will be one of the things I'll miss terribly when I leave

Karen's Farewell
Had Company Dinner cum Karen's Farewell at Amara's korean restaurant last friday.
It was fun, more fun than other times cuz I'm more used to the Korean people.
We had fun, alcohol (my Big Boss, and manager toast to me), photos.
The farewell was rather sad. Karen cried.
It's my turn next month.
Hope that company event will be held before I leave.
Everyone's voting for Universal Studios!!!
27th night, my colleagues are going to bring me out to eat.
My mini farewell with the few I'm close with.

My Angels
Few days ago I quarrelled with Brandon "Cream Monster" Koh.
Note: He loves using our body cream, and he uses more than us.
YES, u heard me right!
I, an auntie where my nephews can just call me "Seow Hui", and climb over my head, and steal my food, quarrelled with my nephew.
It started with I showing my cousins Yoo Geun dancing "Ring Ding Dong".
I kept saying that he is very cute and handsome.
And Brandon got so angry that he went out crying, saying that he don't like the little boy, saying that I kept saying the other boy very handsome.
Finding it very funny, I proceeded to ask him "Eh, are you going to marry me next time? If not, why can't I like other boys?"
He looked so angry he wanted to hit me.
Then he asked me to "GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!!"
This angered me.
I can stand their nonsense, I can let them play me anyhow they want, but I can't stand disrespect.
We went into a cold war for the next few days.
Until one day when I came home from work, I still wasn't talking to him.
And I ask my sis not to talk to him too.
My sis and my auntie started explaining to him what I was angry about.
Funny thing is, everyone thought I was angry over his jealousy, but in actual fact, I;m angry that he does not respect me.
Then they proceeded to ask him to apologise to me, kneeling in front of me and stuffs.
He apologised insincerely, then suddenly just burst out crying saying that he don't want to say sorry.
Wah liao, I almost cried too.
It's very hard to be angry with them one OK.
But to show them that it's wrong, I have to.
In the end I explained to him, and we patched up.
(Look at how cute Di Di is.)
So now we are good again.
Next is our dear Damien "What are you doing" Koh.
Note: He is always being a monster but when my auntie shouted at him "DAMIEN KOH, WHAT ARE YOU DOING??!!!", he will go "OK" and sit down like a very nice child.
Polaroid effect.
One day, he saw me eating Kinder Bueno.
Damien: What is that?(He loves asking this question, which also means "I want to eat")
Me: Chocolate
D: Who buy one? Huh? I buy one leh.
M: Who says? Is Seow Ting buy one hoh.
D: Is Gu Po buy for me one leh. She tells me I can take and go home one leh.
M: ...
D: Who say you can eat?
M: ...
D: You.. You.. You Diamond Pig!
And he left the room.
I don't know to laugh or cry.
That night, my sis was eating Kinder Bueno too.
The same conversation was repeated.
Is this how a diamond pig looks like? But it's not diamond leh..
Oh OH..
Because Di Di haven't learn to control his business without the aid of a pamper, thus, his father punished him by letting him wear pampers without shorts in the morning.
One day, I look at his butt and I thought he lao sai and leaked.
This birthmark on his upper thigh looks like sai loh!
And then one day I came home with a shopping bag and he was so interested he look like he wanted to climb into the bag.
Anyway, one day he asked his mother where Mao Mao came from.
His mother answered him that she bought it.
Then he asked her where he came from.
And she started the usual story that mothers always tell their children - that he was picked up from the rubbish bin.
And he got very sad that he was picked up from the rubbish bin and he even said that nobody loved him.
Then my sister started calling him Dustbin Baby.
Funny thing is, he is angry not about the dustbin part, but the baby part.
He kept telling her he is not a baby.
Not a baby meh?
Anyway, they like to use my phone to take pics.
Here's what they took.
Now I know he was half naked when he took this photo.
This photo looks like he only has 4 toes on his left feet.
How come this baby looks freakingly similar to my grandpa?
Actually, the purpose of this post is to show you all these.
Like that sleep is it comfortable?
Ooh, Brandon has such round and firm ass!
I think I'm ruining their future.
