snippets of my recent life

the fun bits of course.. not e work or e OT haha..

we tried out a few restaurants lately! i love to check out different restaurants + critique their food! :p

tuck tuck planned a nice dinner date at one rochester on a friday few wks back.
he chose da paolo as i had been cravin for some real good pasta since i came back frm europe.

us at da paolo for main & cassis for dessert


the food turned out really sucky. my pasta was dry n difficult to swallow wif e extremely thick, curdly creamy sauce. tuck tuck’s beef wif parmesan tasted jus as bad as e same one we tried at The Mall in Italy. oh man… so much for all e gd reviews we’ve read abt e restaurant. next!

we decided to restaurant-hop. popped by cassis, which was jus opposite da paolo. cassis looks much nicer n had a more tasteful decor than da paolo. seriously, da paolo’s 2nd storey looks like a makeshift studio.. at cassis we had our bloody $30++ desserts.. freak, all thanks to e $9 bottled water haha. £3 sounds more reasonable la.. ;p

it was cancan’s first time to one rochester actually n she doesnt see where e appeal of e place is actually. it’s jus a place sellin e high-class concept wif loads of expensive restaurants at an inaccessible location so tt only those wif cars can visit. lolz..

on another friday, we visited Ju Shin Jung at east coast since a couple of my colleagues mentioned tt e bbq was really good.

happy cancan havin her new fave cuisine - korean bbq!


ok e signboard looks like one u’ll find at some red light district at first look. haha! e interior of e restaurant is huge n spacious n reminded us of…. a canteen. wahaha! look at e ugly unconcealed white pipes in e pic! zzz..

we decided to order some kick-ass angus beef, apparently e most premium beef in e restaurant. unfortunately, we overlooked e fact tt it wasnt marinated, n tuck tuck n cancan somehow r not used to e taste of un-marinated beef. it tasted damn 臭臭 n i hadda dip it in soy sauce to eat it.

yet another expensive but unsatisfactory meal. i told tuck tuck we can jus stick to crystal jade for korean bbq, but he insists on tryin out more new ones in future! bleah…

french maid found in ichiban boshi!



cancan wif her braid jus before she cut her hair short

albeit servin very common japanese food, we recently found this ichiban boshi outlet at AMKHub a convenient jap place for us if we dun wanna be travellin to town for food!

shoppin at e taka sale was a disappointing affair. i went to e sale wif jus 3 Nine Wests n nothin else on my shoppin list. in e end, one was torn, one was badly scratched, n one din have my size. din manage to get anythin at e sale in e end..

but fret not, never mind e obstacles… cancan’s still got her hands on those pretty shoes!

my new loves - nine west, nine west (same design, diff colors) n anne klein!


i gave up e 3rd pair of Nine West for an Anne Klein. it was a good decision cos i like e AK much more than e NW one! it’s now my fave pair of heels!

me n my new Anne Klein


erh can’t really see e color of e heels frm here, but it’s real chic metallic brown la. ;p
now i look like a kinky office lady workin in NYC!!

and e long-awaited photography class?
we missed e first lesson cos cancan was simply too exhausted after a hard day of firefighting. :(

cluedo - who cld it be?

something terribly worryin happened in e office today.

i’ve been placed in charge of e qtr’s valuation of e co’s liabilities n have been workin lots of OT cos of this. today at abt 3pm, i was checkin some figures on paper n was not lookin at e workin files on e server. abt half an hr later, i went back to e excel files n discovered tt more than 80% of e files had gone missing!

i got really worried. boss asked me to do a search for any one of e files but no results were returned.
i was convinced tt someone had deleted e entire folder which i created. the reason why some 20% of e files were left behind was cos i had one of e files opened, so the ‘deletion’ met an error n e process was disrupted. it cldn’t hv been me cos i wld’ve gotten tt error msg in deletin tt opened file. so no… not me.

boss brought me to IT to request for a restoration of last nite’s file. which meant all e work i’ve done today wld go down e drain.. few min later back at our desk, boss said “eh, no need to restore alrdy. e whole folder’s been moved to another directory”.

so i went to check n indeed there they were.. i wondered why they din show up in my search results previously. felt quite paiseh then cos it seemed as tho i’d accidentally clicked n dragged e folder into another directory myself.

anyway so i cut n pasted them back into e correct folder, n FKKK!
everythin was gone! includin e 20% tt did not go missing in e first place.

by then i was really panicky n wondered how e hell this cld’ve happened. another helpful boss frm e pricing team came over to my boss’s pc to see if he cld help.. after some clicking, copying, failed pasting, he finally did a “right click - properties”, n saw tt e entire folder was actually hidden! my boss had set his pc to show all hidden files, which explains why he saw e folder but i cldn’t see them on my pc. which also explains why e hidden files din show up on my search results, but showed up on his.

someone had moved my entire folder n intentionally hidden them.
someone within my dept, since only we have access to this server.
someone within my team perhaps, since only we know wat these folders/files r for n e imptance of them.

who cld it be?
