it's ray's bdae! 3 Nov 07

sorry ahz... outta post tat had been rotting in my 'draft' folder for mths. hehe~

.

went alotta different places n burnt a big hole in my pocket (plus i went Brown Sugar earlier in e day).

Sushi Tei @ Raffles City

e poor bdae boy had to organise his own bdae outing. LoL~

tats us in sushi tei. i din noe Sushi Tei @ Raffles City is mightily gorgeous!

quite in love with sushi tei recently. love their sashimi salad with sushi tei sauce, yums! their chicken katsu don is oso wonderful~~

while e guys were settling e bill, we gals camwhored beside e cashier counter. hehe~

grp photo outside sushi tei! v pretty horz, e entrance. i love this photo~

The Loof @ Odeon Towers

it's a rooftop bar, completely alfresco on one half. im so amused by their newspaper-esque menu...

cuz it says it's a 'makeshift shelter' in e event of rain. haha~

see, me n ray demostrating e alternate use of e menu. quite dumb. seriously tat filmsy piece of menu is not gg to keep rain out lorz, right.

but e place is quite decent, gd view of e city hall area behind me n ray....

n nice tree to take photos with behind sissy n lulu. haha~

sissy n lulu were quite irritated by my constant flash photography there, cuz e place is real dark n my flash is real bright.

i ordered e white choc martini n hated it, cuz it totally reeks of vodka (i hate vodka) with juz a slight tinge of choc. ray's gummi bear cocktail is much better tho.

it started raining halfway thru our drinks, hence we moved to e air-con part of e bar. there're tiny partitioned-cells with cushions, where u can lie down totally. odd~

i captured tis while heading back to raffles city, cool pic huh?? e trishaw driver (retro) is totally oblivious to e hustle n bustle of e busy ppl n buses (modern). hehe~

they were still doing up e tree at tat time (so u noe how outdated tis post is, haha). we took a photo with e latest tree while waiting for traffic light.

Menotti @ Raffles City

desserts' 50% off after 10pm, we always cheong for after 10pm. cheapos~ hehe~
.

while waiting for our dessert to arrive, me n sissy discovered tat e mirror behind us is a fantastic tool for camwhoring. LoL~

'mirror, mirror, on the wall. who's e fairest of em all?' hahaha~ sibeh vain~

tats my warm choc with ice cream. super sinful nite, sushi tei feast, drinks, desserts. sinful on e weight n pocket. hmm~

uber cool way of taking grp photos on our own horz?? nice background too.

wld be better if e place is brighter, then e photo wld be less grainy. cuz cant use flashlight mahz, e mirror will reflect e light badly.

lotsa beautiful photos taken tat nite!~ =))

revamped!

finally decided to revamp my blog template after 2+yrs. e old template realli looks old n alignment's all screwed up le.

but tis new template is essentially e old template lahz, as u can see. but simpler n broader (minima stretch) lorz. more text area, less frills.

still thinking of wat title to use as my blog header, so nw it's juz a boring font.

'the queen has spoken' sounds abit juvenile for my advanced age, but 'qian has spoken' sounds weak. needa tink of a powerful header, else juz stick to e former. any suggestions?

UPDATED: tink i'll stick to e old title.

e most hilarious couple in qian's world....

muz be Blamer and Leecher.

nian chu xi aka cny eve

reunion dinner on cny eve for 5pax, credits to mrs chan. sumptuous!

initially tot i can get e whole cny eve off, but partner dropped a bomb on us (see prev post on my korean client). oh well~

da nian chu yi aka 1st day of cny!

e usual house visiting. taken after visiting my grandpa's cousin's family at redhill. i saw e shuaige again tis yr! realli v shuai lorz. ohohoho~

tats my ah ma, not my mum k. tis photo looks abt e same as last yr's, but at least we'r wearing diff clothes mahz (i tink).

qian n megan have e same hair! she's my cousin, fyi.

megan's newborn sister is oni 3mths old, which means i have a cousin who's 24yrs younger than me. -_-

oh btw, i love megan's dress. haha~

another round of steamboat at ah ma's hse....

wat do u tink those mutant abalones look like???? ahehehehe~ oops sorry~
.

i ate none of em, cuz they look too much like.... u noe. LOL~

i painted my nails red! festive mahz. hehe~

some random photo whoring with e royal family at home after completing all house visits for e day....

my lemon-coloured dress is veri kiddish mehz? it's a pretty dress mahz, everybody says it's pretty not kiddish lorz. old man n their twisted opinions. bah~
.

my family is obviously not rich, cuz my dad's wearing e same shirt he wore last yr on da nian chu yi. haha~

n my bro's wearing e same shirt he wore when we took my grad photo. he has probs smiling to e camera, he juz cant do it lorz. kids are weird~

恭喜发财，Coach bag 拿来 !!~

LOLOLOL~

i love cny 2008, how abt u? =)

qian's korean client

a-na-ha-se-yo! i audited a huge korean enterprise's singapore office recently n quite saa-raang it wor~ haha~

decent view frm e room tat client arranged for us in their office, suntec tower 3. my VT (aka intern) can see her sch (SMU) frm e audit room lorz.

realised alotta pwc ppl's are in suntec at e same time, alotta clients there. when my team logged into colligo, we can see another pwc team who's one floor above us lorz. cool~

tis korean enterprise has a veri interesting organisational structure:

.

- every head of dept is a korean staff sent frm korea HQ. finance, sales, MD~

- all korean staff sent to overseas offices muz be married n family will follow

- kor expats will go back to kor HQ at e end of their 4th yr at overseas office

- they'r usually promoted once they go back to HQ at e end of their term

.

which basically means there are lotsa koreans in tat office, but no cute ones. hmm~

.

woohoo!~ e team of beautiful auditoresses (me excluded)!

.

anticlockwise: me looking like shit tat day, my gorgeous n tall senior, much sought-after A1 (heard alotta mgrs like her) n my v happy intern ('happilly' is part of her name).

.

most imptly, our korean client kept feeding us with food throughout e engagement!

.

e 1st mon we were there, client brot us to lunch at ichiban boshi. overdose of sashimi.

e same wk on wed, client treated us to a ribeye steak set lunch each at olio dome. forgot to take photo of e yummy steak, oni rem e cake. hehe~

they gave us a set of korean rice cakes as chinese new year gift e following mon. looks veri exquisite n appetising but none of us like it, actually.

n when e partner n mgr came down for review e day b4 cny eve, e whole lot of us went soup restaurant for a 8-course lunch. client paid for e $248+++. hoho~

mgr is quite okay, kept telling us gossips. n partner is veri charming, even my client (e snr finance exec) agrees. haha~

huat ah! we beat many ppl in lo hei b4 cny. haha~ sorry bad picture quality, sucky camera phone.

my korean client (e finance mgr) is so wonderful, funny, easy-going, always accede to our requests. it's juz too bad im not booked for nx yr's audit.

nite view frm e audit room....

we were ensuring everything's in order e nite b4 e partner arrives at client's place to review our work.

.

but e partner threw us a bomb e day b4 cny eve lorz, made us do more work n cant take full day off on cny eve. oh well~

but overall e job's veri fine. learnt alotta things abt korean culture when lunching with e client:

.

1) it is disrespectful to face husbands w/o makeup, so wives oni remove their makeup after their husbands slept (likewise in e morn)

2) korean wives gotta wake up v early in e morn to prepare bfast (rice) for their husbands

3) husbands' salary are credited into their wives accounts directly, e wives will then issue daily 'pocketmoney' to em

4) korean men smokes alot, it's like they HAVE to smoke

5) they entertain alot, n drinking is part of e entertaining ritual, like china lorz (heng tis client nv bring us drinking)

6) employees in korea do not take MC (ie. bring flu virus to work)

7) 5 days of annual leave is all they get in korea, n usually employees do not utilise all 5 days

.

so it's not veri welfare to work in korea, but if u'r an employee of their sg office u'll still get 14 days of annual leave lahz.

tats all abt my korean client, come-sa-ha-mi-da!

it's e yr of e rat !!

beibei jingjing huanhuan yingying nini wld like to wish all readers xinxin niannian kuaikuai lele! haha~

i still tink tat those mascots have lame names. but at least they look okay-ly cute.

qian is officially in her freaking mid twenties. soon she'll be on her way to auntiehood. -_-

but anyways, i LOVE chinese new year, hope u'r loving yours too!~ =)

恭喜发财，万事如意，身体健康，心想事成，
鼠年旺旺旺 !!~

HUAT AH!!~

qian loves johnny depp!

after credits started rolling at e end of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street....

girl: are u realli tat bored by e movie?
boy: even e judge can sing, wat do u tink?

-_-

juz wondering abt Suharto b4 cny...

im juz wondering...

if tens of thousands of ppl are mourning for Suharto cuz they've lost a dictator whose reign brot stability and growth to e Indonesian economy...

are MILLIONS of other ppl juz glad to finally witness e demise of e apparent great leader who amassed hefty sums of taxpayers' money for himself n his cronies?

since chinese new year's juz round e corner now, i shall accumulate good karma n assume tat it's a 'no'.

i tink i watched too much CSI...

i tot tis thing looks mightily familiar...

looks ripped off frm one of e gory autopsy scenes in CSI, where e vic(tim) died of some horrible skin disease inflicted maliciously by his conspired murderers.

but tis seemingly gruesome thingy is actually quite yummy! strawberry yoghurt popsicle frm taiwan, my mum bot it frm jurong pt. hahaha~

sorry for e anti-climax. LoL~

for the 1st quarter ended 3 feb 2008

congrats, u've endured ur 1st quarter in e concentration camp!

gd luck to ur future days ahead, cuz more love will continue to be extorted frm u yo~~

OHOHOHOHO~
