Hahaha...very long never update liao...recently kinda busy with work so not much time to blog.
AT WORK!!!
I have now been shifted from the marketing department to the administration department and so, I use the company's computer. The whole administration department has only one person and for now, its me....and so, I am a department by myself! hahaha...I am still under the marketing department and I have to do up the work given to me but now, I have additional administration roles to undertake such as picking up calls
Standard greeting：
上午/下午/晚上好，SRE，有什么我可以帮您吗？____________________________________________________________________
And usually, I only need to transfer the call, by saying: '你要找COCO是吧， 请稍等一下。haha... most of the time, they look for her.
The worst part is having to take a message down, I can't even understand our typical singaporean chinese, what more cheena chinese...haiz...

AT HOME!!!
The weekday morning routine:
6.30am- Siqian's handphone alarm, 'Whineup', goes off: "Its Summer Time!" Siqian and I wake up and go back to sleep.
6.30am- The alarm goes off again, Siqian wakes up and goes to bathe.
6.45am- Siqian is done and she starts her make-up process while Sean goes to bathe.
7.00am- Sean is done by then. Siqian's is on her eye-liner stage.
7.15am- Siqian's hairdryer goes on and Rachel is woken up by the sound and goes to bathe.
7.35am- Rachel finishes and Siqian has already changed into her clothes. By then, if Hongyi does not wake up, Siqian comes with her 'bolster' to attack him. When he wakes up, Siqian will ask him: ' what must you tell me?' and Hongyi will reply: ' i dun wan to go to work today.' (*reason: Hongyi says that every morning!)
7.45am- Afterwhich, Sean and Siqian goes to work, Rachel sends them off and prepare small breakfast if there is food (fruits eggs, bread etc) in the house for both Hongyi and herself to eat.
7.55am- Eat breakfast if there is food, if not, slowly change into work clothes and pack bag.
8.10am- Off to work!

hahaha....that's it for now...i think i will be updating soon!
Later on, i met up with Hongyi, Sean, Xueer and Roseann for lunch at Ikea (i had already eaten mine at Babela) and the hotdog buns there were super cheap! oni 3 yuan(60Cents sing) but not as nice and the ice-cream was oni 1 yuan (20 cents sing)!
We later went to the arcade and we played monopoly there! the arcades monopoly is really fun and to play the games there, all you need is about 2 tokens, 20 cents per token and you can play!
And My favourite>>>>>Peanut Shaved Ice>>>>>!
My Vegetables!>>>>>
Plaster!!!>>>>>>
Briefing Time>>>>>Hongyi, calling me to come and listen instead of snapping away!
The Train>>>>>
We had first class seats>>>>
The 10 of us that went>>>>>First up, Sean>>>>
Xue Er and Yuko>>>>>
Poh Suan and Kenny>>>>>
Roseann And Pearleen>>>>>
And Lastly, me and Siqian>>>>haiz, no one took picture for us so, we had to do it>>>>
Although we had booked 4 hotel rooms b4 hand, we had no plans whatsoever and had no idea what to do or where to go. Nonetheless, the min we came out of the train station, we were greeted by a small tour agency and they offered to take us around for a day and help us book train tickets back to Shanghai for a rather good price. And so, we took them on...we checked into our hotel and rested b4 eating at 真功夫 and then going shopping in the evening. 
Aircon does not work at all>>>>>
Toilet>>>>>
The room maid>>>>>I mean room mate>>>>hahaha......
Eating and Shopping, living the typical Singaporean lifestyle in a foreign land.>>>>>
Later that night, after we had finished shopping, we all gathered into one room to play 终极密码 and the loser, had to chose between truth or dare! haha...it was quite fun as we dug out each other's secrets! During the game, my big mouth suggested something rather stupid and I ended up being involved in a dare as well! haha...(for those of you curious to know, can ask me personally, but i wont blog about it...秘密!) we played for quite a while and by the time i slept, it was 4 am. 
I was super excited when i saw XiHu, West lake, it was indeed a splendid sight to behold and finally for the first time, I felt like I was in China. The pics below are insufficient in portraying what we had witnessed, so if you have time, go visit Xihu....
The only thing that spoiled it was the crowd!!!!...I mean, Xihu was a place where famous chinese poets got their inspiration, in the serenity of the surroundings, but the crowds just TOTALLY spoiled the 'ambience'! There is an appropriate chinese phrase that accurately describes the situation at that point in time... 人山人海! 
We were actually queuing to get on a boat to go across Xihu, and we had 50 ppl in our tour group(including the 10 of us). And so, we finaly got on the boat, leaving so many others behind!
When we had cruised one round around the lake and came back, we continued to explore the area and took some pictures.
A bit further inside, we we allowed access to this tunnel where even the ground was made of gold! and so, we had to wear plastic bags and pull it over our shoes so as not to dirty the floor>>>
Next up, we went to a silk factory>>>>>the lady there was doing a demonstration for us to help us identify the difference between real silk and fake silk. she even burned a small corner off the silk to prove her point!
