Back from lunch. The whole office is very quiet today because everyone has events or tasting except the few of us, which is good because I can concentrate on writing. But obviously, I decided to take a break and blog abit.
Life has been well, i suppose. I don't blog that much because the thought of having to write when I am home disgusted me. Although I have been in front of the laptop, trying to churn out SianzOnline content every night.
The Fujitsu laptop that I have is gone and Aunty took her company's own computer for me to use. AND it was gone last night. Great. I am not trying to defend myself but it was already half gone case when handed to me and all I do with it was to write SianzOnline. Great, now all my saved files in the laptop disappeared.
And obviously, I still have some content to finish. Good Job. Looks like I will have to work OT these few days and churn out whatever that I have owe.
Work has been well, thankfully. There are big features to do, as well as small write-ups which usually occupy alot of my time. Have attended a few events and tastings and because of these, I am so not bored to death.
Alrights, sharing with you some of the events which I have went for the past week.
I invited my aunty to join me in the couple spa at True Spa - Cuppage Terrace. I wanted to thank her for all the love that she gave and nothing beats best for treating her to a luxurious and relaxing spa. I must comment that the massage was great, and I fell asleep during the process!
There's free watermelon juice and fruits after the session.
A Japanese Consultant Pastry Chef came to Icing Room @ 313 Somerset, so I went there for an interview with him. This is the first big feature that I am assigned to, and of course there are lotsa things to improve on. The interview was torturous, because he only speaks Japanese while I only speak English and we have to let the translator do the job for us, which took up double the expected time.
Basically he has come up with 5 new cakes and is demonstrating the cake designing process.
Well cake lovers will sure like these. Unfortuntely, I don't have a sweet tooth and this makes it harder. And having to churn out @ least 2000 words feature is the aftermath headache.
But thank goodness, perserverance is the key. I finished writing and it was well written, very little and minor changes. SAY YAY! Four days of writing and editing didnt go to waste. Im looking forward for it to appear in the papers. :)
After all the cake tasting, I went for bakery class the next day. It was really a sweet tooth week. 6 journalists, with the help of a chef, tried to bake something delicious from the flour and eggs on the table.
I must say, it was really YUMMY! I bake it with my heart ok. BUT the design of my cake really sucks, so O-BIANG! When I was still thinking cake design is easy, now when I get to try it, then I know it's damn hard.
no creativity. -.-
But I gave one of it to Aunty and her bf to try. Happened to meet Ade for dinner after my bakery class, so I went home pretty late. Very tiring, but still I have to bring it over to their house and let them try! :) Glad they like it.
I shall buy an oven soon and try to bake something..
Let's see... yup that's some of the interesting things I did last week. Bakery class was last thursday. And it was also a night of up&downs.
Then meet Michelle & Li Shan for dinner @ Ichiban Boshi on Sunday and went J8 to get this voice recorder for work.
4GB, $259. FREAKIN EXPENSIVE can! My budget was $250 and I wanted to get the 2GB one for $189. The Sony guy last minute tell me NO MORE STOCKS. But I need it urgently as I got another interview on Monday, so bobian loh.
It is good to be here, cuz all of us are autistic kids and we are always in our own world, doing our own things. Not much of human contact, no need to liase or whatever. Just sit down, and write something out.
Yup, that's about all. And for the past month, my life has been blessed with Ephraim around. Truly. Thank you :)
