Sydney Fish Market where fresh seafood resides!
This post is about Sydney Fish Market, a place where I visited during my vacation to Sydney with my gf and without the kids. i’m still missing the fun i had on my trip and am seriously experiencing a bad case of post holiday blues. it pains me to view the pictures because… i just want to head back there and chill. the place is just so chill and laid back. anyhow, what’s a trip to sydney without checking out the Sydney’s Fish Market right? it’s a stone throw away from darling harbour and we simply walked over after soaking in the sights at the harbour. checking out the map of…

Visiting Sydney – Our arrival!
We arrived in sydney this morning! We are pretty hyped about visiting Sydney but we both were pretty much like zombies upon arrival because instead of sleeping on the flight (which in itself was tough), we watched movies, had supper, chatted non stop and i read on my kindle (ah, bliss!) and ended up catching only 1.5hrs of sleep. or less. when we finally landed, we took a while to orientate ourselves, get our data sim (Optus offers unlimited data, voice calls and smses for just $2/day), and hopped onto a train to andy’s apartment. that’s us waiting for a train in central station, by the way. the trains are very…

the girl who used to sit in front.
my colleague, Beverly left the team last friday. the office is been quite quiet and missing quite a bit of cheer. i think it stems from her youth (she’s the youngest in the team) and her beverly bubberly nature. I also love to tease her to bits so work has been kinda boring without her. nonetheless, i’m sure we will remain as friends!! or maybe its a one-sided thinking cos she doesnt want to keep me. well, im too old and not much fun. hahah. the sweet girl baked the team a cake as a farewell gift! filled with loads of love and strawberries the sweet, young thing in the…

Team Lunch @ Rokeby
my team had a long overdue team lunch last friday for the june babies. and an unexpected farewell lunch for beverly who left the team rather abruptly. lunch was at rokeby! we always try to go to a different restaurant each time and it was my first time here (though i have been to fat cat which is along the same stretch). The restaurant had a simple, casual decor that was very easy to feel relaxed in. our team of 12 had a small little room to ourselves and we were joking that it felt like a birthday party in mcd (like the olden days). the team! there was a…

a wedding over the weekend.
I attend a wedding over the weekend, of james and angel. it was a lovely wedding with touching speeches and all. and it was special to me in my own little way. I was back in the same ballroom that I wedded in 3 years ago. as i sit in the ballroom, the memories of my own wedding flashed in my mind and I couldnt help it but smile at those memories. It was so much fun. ok. I shouldnt really steal the story. its their wedding after all. I didnt manage to take much pictures of the couple. and whatever I had was a little fuzzy. I was…

sunday brunch at spruce
the usual trio – andy, cindy and me met up for brunch last sunday (along with our significant other), mainly to bade andy farewell and ‘send him off’. this guy is moving overseas for a work stint and i think i’ll be missing his company. in a blink, its been almost 5 years since the 3 of us have met, worked together, became good friends and stayed in contact while we moved on in various stages of life. its nice seeing his 5-year plan materializing! a half awake jerry at the table. it was my first time at the fire station branch and frankly, we weren’t impressed at all.…

the christmas team lunch
each year, my lovely boss will arrange for a team lunch at a lovely place for the team. it’s always a much-looked-forward-to event for me because there is always good food, we have a nice relaxing long lunch and gossip chit chat about the happenings in the office and pretty much chill around together. this year, lunch is at symmetry, located at kudor street. I loved how chill the restaurant exterior looked, and the team had fun posing with the decor. me, looking rotund and terrible in pictures these days. my face is sooooooo round! restaurant interior. cosy little place with cute little touches here and there! the menu.…

Christmas game : angels and mortals
each year, as Christmas approaches.. a small group of my colleagues will gather to play this game. its actually a secret Santa game but we call our version angels and mortals. rules of the game – we set aside a budget, draw lots to determine everyone’s mortal (together with 3 items on their wish list based on the budget) and then for weeks leading up to Christmas, the angel has to secretly do nice things for the mortal. everybody keeps their mortal a secret from each other while others throw out decoys and claim credit for the stuff they didn’t do. on the day of exchange, we usually…

Christmas is coming!
which, would also signal the end of another year. gosh. I want to ask where all that time has gone to but I know I spent most of it slogging away on ny work desk. in the same note, with Der being away in China for a week, me being heavily pregnant with the delivery date just weeks away, and having to juggle work (everyone is clearing leave except me) and caring for jerry.. I have been extremely tired. add the stress of prepping for the festive season and getting everyone’s present ready.. imma is very very sleep deprived so this blog is near its death I think. and…

good luck lunch at medz.
so many familiar faces are leaving at my work place. almost every other week, someone left or there are news of people leaving, many of which without a job. had a good luck lunch with serene the other day. I refused to call it goodbye/farewell. I’m sure we’ll meet and keep in contact! lunch was at medz at millenia walk.. it was a little like marche style of dining concept, but with the food offerings based on 8 cuisine stations – Spanish, Moroccan, French, Turkish, Greek and Mediterranean stations. French onion soup, it was bland and in my honest opinion, not worth the money or the stomach space.…
