Gathering with ex-colleagues (12 June)

The marketing team at DHL decided to organise a gathering for past and present Marketing alumni.....some of those who worked closely with us from other departments were also invited. Wai Yi gladly opened up her big big house. In fact, she actually took the day off to buy and prepare all the food for that evening. We had BBQ, steamboat and lots of cooked food. Thanks to the Chef!


I had an awesome time catching up with ex-colleagues, getting to know the couple of new faces. Surprisingly, they even celebrated the birthdays of June babies (just like old times, as Celeste calls it!) Too bad Adeline and Andrea can't make it so its down to the 2 of us.

And a gathering will not be complete without the group picture. Thanks all for the wonderful evening together :) Looking forward to more gatherings to come!

Jaycee's 1st birthday celebrations (30 May)

It was Jaycee's 1st birthday and the celebration was held at Shian's parents' place with both sides of Jaycee's grandparents, aunties and uncles attending.

Here's the very cute birthday cake bought by Sumin.....apparently Jaycee is born in the year of the mouse, so her clothes, shoes, cakes, birthday decos etc were themed around Minnie/Mickey Mouse!

Here's the nice backdrop for photo -taking....Shian & I couldn't wait for the birthday gal to come and we snapped a picture with the cute backdrop...now it looks really funny....as if it was our birthdays! haha!

Birthday gal enjoying the center of attention .... though i think she was a bit freaked out with being left to sit alone:

The Mickey Mouse plate and cup:

And finally, a picture of us with the birthday gal:

Every kid who attended the party had a balloon to take home with. HaHa....funny thing was Sumin prepared the Strawberry Shortcake balloon for me becos she knew i love it. So i was the only adult that had a balloon.....kinda embarrassing but nonetheless, i really liked the balloon :)

Linda's birthday (25-26 May)

Linda's birthday is just 2 days away from Shian's so there was no way i will forget. On 25th, i was at a site recce at Ann Siang and was just outside The Patisser. I was quite sure she will like the cakes there with the big ribbon! So though it was a day earlier to her birthday, i decided to get her the cake and we had a mini pre celebration for her in the office.

Here's a memorable group picture becos it was taken by a senior management personnel who happpened to walk past and offered to take for us:

The next day, which was Linda's actual birthday....we decided to head to P.S Cafe at Dempsey (Harding Road) for lunch....away from the hustle and bustle of life in the CBD. It was a nice chill out for all of us.....my first time there actually!

Me with the birthday gal and our intern:

The food was not bad and the service was great. Worth visiting this place again. Here's the must have group picture.....all of us trying to put in a funny face as requested by our intern.

It's wonderful to have good friends amongst your colleagues so that going to work is also fun and something to look forward to :) Thank God for that!
