Unable to celebrate CNY this year due to the demise of beloved grandfather couple of years back. I still miss him to this day, remembering the last words he said to me. :’)

Still, although I can’t do actual visiting, that doesn’t stopped me from getting red packets. Hehe. Plus I am working part-time, and my boss gave me a rather big ang pow, considering the fact that I worked for NET less than a month. Yeah, in case some of you still do not know, I am working part-time because of some personal reasons. It is time I stop depending on my parents altogether. It is tough, doing so much all at the same time but there isn’t much of an option for me anymore, so I just have to make do with it. Got to stop living like a princess one day.

Agreed to go for NET’s Annual CNY dinner since I had pretty much nothing on. It was held at Topone Karaoke at Bugis and never am I going back there again. It is like those TW karaoke lounge, people could smoke anywhere and there were like “brothers” there and lounge girls too. Eww. Nevertheless, no regrets going cause I got to bond with my colleagues!

The 3 female employees of NET

Same age,

so we kinda clicked almost immediately, already started gossiping already. The world is super small alright, we actually have things in common! Oh yes, there were drinking during the dinner, the company bought quite a number of jugs in, but I didn’t drink too much, after all, I walked home from MRT.

Guy on right: Yi Xuan, also same age!

Anyway, the highlight for me during that dinner is not the singing or competition, but instead…

WINNING AN 8GB IPOD TOUCH IN WHITE

Yup, you didn’t see that wrong. Haha! There was, apparently this lucky draw and all who turn up that day were given a chance. Tampines One has never won this lucky draw before because we have too little employees so I didn’t expect to win first prize. I still remember the emcee say, “miracle has happened, it is TO… “ then she didn’t know how to pronounce my name. Haha, but once I heard Liew, I knew it was me! HAHA!

The big boss of NET

When I went back to sit, Wei Sheng still could tell me say that the first prize last year was a camera and he was guessing it could be an iPhone, can you imagine my excitement? Although I don’t fancy the iPhone very much, but what’s there to lose to get a free phone? Besides, I didn’t believe that NET was willing to give such an expensive product to the employee.

I also remembered saying that TO’s luck is going to change because I won first despite the probability. Haha, and to think I am the youngest employee. HAHAHAH!

Nah, it wasn’t an iPhone, it was an iPod, but that wasn’t a killjoy because I wanted to buy myself another iPod after giving my mum mine, so it seems like God is helping me save some bucks. Hehe.

So that was it for my CNY, besides that I also gotten my merit award from the Liew Clan Association for academic excellence, 120$. But that was all for CNY2012.

& now is FYP all the way!
