Wedding Gift for Princess Feli

I guessed this would be my last post in this royal blog. Nevertheless, I would like to thank Queen Cyn and Princess Tan Hui for the lovely gift that they have bought for me as my 'wedding' gift. I love this floral whiteboard! Its so sweet!

1 "Wedding" & A "Funeral"

Our heartfelt congrats goes out to Princess Feli where she finally made the decision to go for it and yes, she has made it. Made it where? Made it to the next step of the corporate ladder :)

While the whole palace is joyful for her, we are also secretly preparing for our "funeral" :( Sigh....how is the remaining knight and princess + me, the queen gonna tahan without her :( I must say all the royal subjects of our palace are rare gems! Yes, all of you are! You are one who -> has low or even zero MC
-> is meticulous and careful with work
-> takes pride in your work
-> is super responsible
-> grumbles at things but on the other hand still working hard at it
-> is "zi dong" and works OT when necessary
-> provides fun and laughter to the palace which made it warm and vibrant
-> likes to talk back at times and hee sometimes, these "talk back" does make sense
-> has positive attitude towards work, working partners and friends

Ahhh....where to find another gem like all of you leh? Can you be cloned?


Best regards,
Queen Cyn

The moon was blue before CNY....

and strange things happen when the moon was blue........

Our Queen Cyn who was famous for her untidy workstation piled with tonnes of paper, rubbish and other stuff, managed to clear up her workstation just before CNY. Check out this rare sight as nice things are not lasting and the blue moon might only come back during CNY 2011....

Nasi Alamak!

The royal family had ordered nasi lemak for lunch each costing $3 in support of a charity event by CSC. Yesterday was the nasi lemak day. We were quite excited as we can do charity and lunch together as a team at the same time. But to our disgust.. the nasi lemak was a dissapointment... The rice was hard... the egg was sour.... the cucumber was also sour (not sure if it went bad or it was pickled)... the chilli looked and tasted weird (the taste was not abit like chilli at all)... I can only say the nasi lemak was a total disaster.

The only one from the royal family to escape this disaster was our new royal head, Concubine GC(although she wanted to be a Ya Huan but that doesn't suits her at all so she shall remains as concubine hehe). Our blur Princess Feli had missed out 1 order (we don't understand why since there's only 6 orders haha). Concubine GC was very kind to give up hers and she will buy from outside instead since she was going out to run some errands. This is the so called 好心有好报.. but don't understand why this doesn't work for us since we were also doing good deeds by buying nasi lemak for charity....

Ah Tan

New Stuff for the New Year

Hee....Queen Cyn is always up to something! Yes yes, I agree totally! Where fun is concerned, my brain juice will always be overflowing hee!

So guess what? I have indicated a wishlist corner for the Royal Family, well except for Dowager G which I'm not sure if she is interested in it too?

Anyway, the purpose of the wishlist is to make everyone happy and life easy for the person getting the gift. At least, we are buying something that the recipient has been wanting to get :) It would be best if you could indicate the price of the item and where we can find it (to faciliate our shopping). In the event if the price is out of our budget, we will probably get vouchers up to our budget and the rest is up to you hee :P

Anyone has any other great ideas, please feel free to share! We are open for discussion hee!


Best regards,
Queen Cyn

Goodbye 2009....

It was not just saying goodbye to 2009 but it was also saying goodbye to our dear Dowager ST. I have been working with her since Jul 2007. I still remember that day when Astin was asking me if I would like to come over and be a KB administrator. Without second thought, I agreed immediately. I was wondering how come I did not even need to consider? Perhaps, it was time to get out of a frontline life.

Come to think of it, I should admire myself for such a decision when I knew that my boss to be doesn't seem to be easy to work with. Well, at least that was what I felt at that time cos Dowager ST always never fail to give me the impression that she is fierce and always on her toes [please don't scold me when you read this cos this is the feeling that I have few years back :)]

It has been 2 years and 5 months. Though Dowager ST does leave up to her reputation i.e. fierce and firm but it was this feeling that made the team move on and perserve in all situations. Her good teachings have made the team understand the meaning of being meticulous and always doing things "with an end in mind" Hahaha, her famous line :) She has been a GREAT leader with clear directions! Best of all, her memory is SUPERB! I must take the opportunity to document this hee! That is -> I am really grateful to you for giving me the chance to be Queen. It has not been an easy year for me, especially for the first half of this year. So much so that there were times that I feel like giving up and resume my status as a Princess instead. Through some kind words from friends, I managed to pick myself up and knew that your kind intentions was to mould me to be a better person. I have really learnt a lot from you and your pushing really made me think through before I move on to my next step!

The team was really sad that she is no longer our leader. I specially came back to the palace this morning to witness the farewell gift ceremony.

Even though no tears were shed, it doesn't mean that we are not sad. The sad feeling is just buried at the bottom of our hearts.

The team would hereby wish Dowager ST all the best in her future endeavours and we will definitely have lots of opportunities working together and who knows, you will be our Dowager again some time later....

Kopi Appreciation Session

Today, Queen Cyn and I decided to act high class by getting some Starbucks kopi even though the 2 of us are "tea person". Of course the kopi are free for some reason so we just went to get a cup each. After collecting our tall kopi, we proceed to add milk and took 6 packets of sugar back to office. Back in office, Queen Cyn began to drink her kopi after adding 3 packets of sugar into her kopi... bleh~ it was bitter de loh... I also tried mine after adding 2 packets of sugar.. it tasted ok but I still don't like the taste of kopi. Anyway being the nice me, I decided to give my last packet of sugar to Queen Cyn. After adding, she still felt hers was very bitter and "GAO".. Luckily, mine wasn't that "GAO".. In the end, Queen Cyn asked Knight Rid to get her some more sugar when he went to get his kopi. Anyway, by end of the day, Queen Cyn and I brought our kopi to the toilet to pour away. And the best thing is, the amount of kopi we left was almost the same, meaning each of us only drank a small portion of what's in the cup. We conclude that "la-kopi" is still not suitable for us, we are more suited for "la-tehing" hehe.. Princess Feli, what a waste, you missed out the chance to get some free kopi hehe =)

*Our free kopi*

*Queen Cyn's reaction after tasting her kopi*

Oh ya, we were at Dowager's workstation la kopi-ing while waiting for her and guess what? Our dowager is such a hero, we admire her for her ability to drink kopi black, without any sugar or milk!!!

Amazing discovery!!!

Discovered an amazing sight when I was helping Queen Cyn to shut down her PC. Check out what's under her workstation.........

*OMG! So many pairs of shoes lying around... is she a sotong or a centipede in human form???*

PS: I know I'm going to get it from her when she see this post... but I STILL GOT TO DO IT!!! Cos good things are meant to be shared.. especially such an amazing sight hehe :P

Who is that??

Who is that?? A thief broken into the royal palace??

It's our princess Feli clearing the cupboard in preparation for our move...

Ta dah!! She managed to pack everything into this 2 boxes.. Thanks for your hard work, Feli!

So Exciting!

Hmm....received an IM from Princess Feli saying that there will be a photo shoot session requested by COD as they wanted to feature those who had helped in one way or another for the launch of "sheng ming".

Wow wow....how exciting! We were told that the photographer would be taking our shots by 2pm. We quickly had our lunch, did what we need to and were all ready. We went over to the scheduled venue and realised that no one was there. After investigation, we realised that there was some miscommunication between the photographer and one of our colleauge.

Nevermind, we were then informed later that the session would take place at 4.40pm. So we quickly went over and got our shots taken!

Hmm can't wait to see it in the intranet. We will be known overnight by Boardwide :) How exciting hee....well at least I felt so!

森林 putt putt & friends

Queen Cyn, Princess Feli and I went for the lunch time sales held in office yesterday. There was this stall selling a jelly looking air freshener and the salesperson was trying very hard to introduce the product to us.

According to him, the product was so amazing that it can keep away insects, cockroaches and even lizards (only the lemon fragrance). It's different fragrance even act as a form of aromatherapy with effects like boosting your memory and even slimming. As there was many different fragrance, the salesperson kept fanning each of them in front of our nose for us to smell which one we prefer.

Now here comes the story of 森林 putt putt.....

He kept telling us about this fragrance called 森林 putt putt which makes all of us (-.-???), trying to figure out what the hell is 森林 putt putt. Only when we read the chinese characters then we realised it is actually 森林瀑布. (-.-!!!) Later Princess Feli then shared with us she don't dare to smell the 森林 putt putt as she was worried that it really smells of putt putt. Lolx.

Let's take a look at the 森林 putt putt & friends that we bought on that day....

Waste of Time?

Princess TH and I decided to join the contest which came about due to the launch of the iCAN newsletter.

So, we went up to the Dream room after 5pm with the aim to count the number of coloured post it pad. At first, we thought that, well, what's so difficult about counting since this is something that we have learnt in school since young.

When we went up, we realised the difficulty! We were supposed to count the orange, purple and yellow pads and we discovered that there are different shades of yellow which made it difficult for us to differentiate between green and yellow.

Arrghhh...in the end, we just anyhow count and decided not to further waste our time!

Our Efforts Were Not In Vain :)

Finally, after weeks of teaching the FAQs in the database and following strictly to the roster, we MADE IT! Our green faces are more than the red ones! Everyone in the Royal Palace was happy :)

We will continue to do our best so as to maintain this positive stats :)

YIPPEE!!


Best regards
Queen Cyn

The Memory Loss Team

We did not want to be named as such but somehow, it seems like most of our royalities, especially ME got this memory loss problem. One moment I remember, next moment I forgot. Hmm, any cure for this?

Oh yah....Dowager, you wanna join us?


Best regards
Queen Cyn

Innovative Dowager!

It was indeed a right move to nominate our dowager for the Innovative Leader award. Her mind really thinks fast and was able to come up with really good and innovative ideas in spilt second for our life events project. Well, like what Princess TH says, that's why she is our boss :)

So impressed with her and wonder when will I have her powers??

Hmm, really hope that she can win the award. Well, even if she does not, she will be a winner in our HEARTS!


Best regards
Queen Cyn

The Nominees Are Out!

Yes....and one of them is our dear Dowager :)

Fighting with other 2 nominees for the Most Innovative Leader award. Was glad that Princess Feli, Queen DY and mine nominations were not wasted!

Hopefully she can really win it :)

Nomination Accepted!

I had wanted to submit the nomination for Dowager but just couldn't find time to do so. Finally, I managed to do it just before the deadline i.e. 1159 15th Jul. I sent out the email at 11.58pm but realised that when it was out, the time was stamped at 12.01am.

Arrgghhh!! Was so afraid that E will not accept it but luckily, he was kind enough to take it in. Now, let's just hope for the best :)

IDG Jigsaw Puzzle

Today Queen Cyn, Princess Feli, Princess Char and I went to take part in the IDG Jigsaw Puzzle. This was the 1st time an IDG on Jigsaw Puzzle was organised and about 40 over teams took part in the competition so the whole conference room was filled up with people. It was exceptionally fun as we get to play with our good friends. During the game, we probably got too excited that we actually pushed our table nearer and nearer to the table next to us and almost squashed our Queen (who unknowingly tried to blame the people behind her lolx).

Although ultimately we did not complete the puzzle nor won the top 3, I must said that we had did a very great job to have joined up 385 pieces out of 500 pieces within 1 hour. Even though we can't get into the top 3 places but I can safely say we definately would had been within the top 10 haha!!!

*One GREAT team*

*The puzzle box*

*Our proud achievement*

Sad to Say....

Very sad to announce that apparently, last night's checkout was not successful. Poor Queen and Princesses....we were all hungry and tired. Did not hae dinner and only managed to go off at 12am. Worst than Cinderella :(

Best of us, I am already in office at 7.30am. This is indeed my second home.

I wonder when is the next try? Next week can??



Best regards
Queen Cyn
