Ok, Porky and i are not getting married. We are going away for a few days short vacation to Penang Island for a short break coming Wednesday, finally after a long and tedious Y2010. We chose a nearer and more familiar place so that we can have less problem doing our free and easy ourselves, plus all the natural disaster in Taiwan , Bangkok , New Zealand, there is really not many favorite places we can chose from. And due to the big investment on our house , we are pretty much dried up in our pocket, we will not have the luxury to go Europe/ Japan this few years.
We just want to enjoy this short trip and time spend together,hopefully come back with recharged body and look. No fighting between fat cat and piggy .. haha...

The morning benders- Excuses
Yesterday while watching tv with Porky, Sony s 3D tv ad was playing and the background music just caught my attention. After The Submarine s Submarine Symphonika (from Ipod tv ad), i just like pop songs with Symphony ( violins particularly ). I searched from Youtube for the song and god i am glad i did, the male lead singer Chris Chu (should be a chinese) from the band "The morning benders" teamed up with the Echo Symphony just matched perfectly. You can see a shy / humble guy with amazing voice singing live, the male lead is terrific. They sound really Beatles in "Damn It Anna " and "Waiting for a war". With many others songs and mtvs , i just found this group is about music and music, no packaging but only real talents.I am glad there is a band like this in english pop scene nowadays.

My 36th Birthday
Porky and i had a great day yesterday(Saturday) celebrating for my belated 36th birthday on chinese calendar (supposed to be Thursday). He smsed me before that and said he will be a male slave for me for a day, he planned it thoughtfully as below :
9.30am : Me the lazy fat cat woke up at this hour, after a few long and stressful weeks of hard work , i really need a good long sleep to recover.
10am : Finished breakfast and watching some stupid tv programmes
11am : Doing some house chores
1230am : Left for lunch at Bugis Illuma rooftop, we went to the restaurant namely Chef Daniels Kitchen , it has received good reviews by critics and public, well known for it exquisite western cuisines with mass market pricing. Porky ordered a set Grilled Chicken lunch and me Sirloin Steak. The set lunch comes with soup of the day + breads, main course , dessert, for just 10.50 SGD per person. The ambience is great and classy, meals and desserts are good, i would definitely come back again. I opened the wrappings for my birthday present from Porky , it is a bottle of SKII essence, we are vain, isnt it.
2pm : We lazed a bit after lunch and headed to ION Orchard to do some banking.
3.30pm : Went to Somerset NTUC fairprice Fine for groceries shopping for the dinner. Porky vowed to clear his name of being a big mouth piggy with lots of talk and no action, aka NATO ( No Action Talk Only). He is gonna cook me Mee Suan ( rice vermicelli ) for birthday as a custom for us Chinese.
5pm : We hopped on to a bus from Somerset and going back to our home, a comfortable ride with cosy seats ,I always prefer bus than MRT. When we are home, Porky started to do his cooking.
630 pm: Dinner served by Chef Porky personally, a Chicken Soup Mee Suan with drumstick and eggs / Vege for the birthday boy, me. It was unexpectedly good. Porky has another signature dish again besides his pasta. I truly enjoyed the meal, a sweet, loving, heart warming meal.
8pm: Washed all the dishes , and we are eating again , yogurt with plums prepared by Piggy.
1030 pm : Time to sleep. A contented me hugging porky pig.

My first major assignment
After working for 4 months , i got my first major assignment to up rev the company quality system , make or break. I will have to go if i fail , i knew, cause i do not really fit in to the sme working culture after so many months. I am being assigned many funny jobscopes that ppl/ i would not take up as an undergrad. That is SME.
The result will be out by October. I hope to apply PR before i decide my next move.
I believe i can find the next job, as 3 companies have approached me for working as a customer quality again, which i rejected cause i do not want to waste my effort in this company and i am not going to quit if i have not tried.
I think i may need some help. Shld i approach my ex manager from Singapore who is an expert in Quality System cause it is a new job scope for me.Thanks for piggy support all along, i cannot endure this much without him.
