new job.. and new food!

I accepted the job at ASUS technology. Starting on 2nd July 2007, which I feel is a good number - all 2s & 7s! First 3 months is probation, after probation my basic will increase 100+ depending on performance. So I need to gambatte! Basic during probation is $1900. So meaning tat after probation I will get at least 2k.

But just received news yday abt my increment in UOB. My performance increment is $109, plus the yearly increment $100 = $210 (they round up). If I stay in UOB my basic will be $1910 leh... Abit regret did not bargain for more. But I think 1.9 was the highest they can give le. Haiz.. but I join another company is bcos of the learning opportunity! Life in UOB sucks.. So, a decision is made. Dun look back!

Glad all my friends are moving on. Amy *may* be starting a new job soon? Hehe.. & Wendy oso found a new job. Growing up together liao.. Maybe nxt phrase is discussing our marriage plans together?? Kaka..

Ate at Peach Garden @ OCBC centre, 33rd floor last wednesday! And best of all, it was FOC! Yeah u heard it right - FREE OF CHARGE! MUAHAHAHAHA....!!! Turns out one of our customers is 1 of the boss over there, & he requested my colleague to bring his documents to him during lunch as he was having a meeting. And me & my colleague alrdy planned to haf lunch together, so he said its ok just bring me along! So while we were walking there we kept discussing whether or not he will treat us to lunch hahaha..

When we reached there, OMG the place was soooo class, I feel sooooo out of place. We were waiting for him at the reception area & my colleague was trying to call him on his mobile. So I looked around & realised that all the customers were on reservation basis. And they were all like power businesswomen, japanese businessmen, tai tais, bosses & rich people.

My colleague couldnt reach him on his mobile, so guessed he was in a meeting. Den we went to ask the waitress we were looking for their boss, & they said they were expecting us. The table is already prepared. Wahahaha I feel so VIP! *^_^*

After we were seated he came over & told us he already prepared everything & the food already ordered for us! And he say not to worry abt anything, just enjoy the food.. The food is really delicious leh... First course was a starter, roasted dunno pork or duck meat. The skin was so crispy & the meat was wonderfully tender.. Roasted to perfection~ Too bad I dun haf picture of that because another of the boss came over to say hello to us. And she told us that our 2 Wee-s (UOB chairman - father Mr Wee Ee Chau & son Mr Wee Ee Chong) are their regulars. Always engage them for cater for their private events. More wows....!! My mouth literally dropped to the floor at tat time lolx...

Next course was winter melon soup. Very interesting presentation. They use the whole baby wintermelon & remove the top, scope out the center part and brew the soup inside. Inside the soup got abalone, fish maw, crab meat, some chinese herbals things which I have no doubt is expensive..

Next up, a fish. Dunno wat fish. The flesh was soooooooo tender & soooooooo juicy & just soooooooooooo delicious! The white, only slightly fried fish with a hint of soy sauce.. Is the most most most uber delicious fish I have tasted in my whole life! The waitress told us is 'lu yu'. But I oso dunno wat fish is tat. Anyone has any idea? Is the most damn delicious fish I have ever tasted!!!

3rd course is LOBSTER NOODLE~~ And its my first time eating lobster lor. Ok la, not too bad. Like clayfish only slighter sweeter & more Q-er. Best part is the boss remove the shell for us leh wahahahahaaa.. So shiok so VIP!

After that still gt dessert one. But we were alrdy running late & paiseh oso eat so many things. So we told them dessert no need, just give us the bill *must gey gey abit oso mah*.. Den the waitress I think dunno we no need to pay de, den she gave us the bill... $131.92 lor... *piangz* Den luckily the other boss saw & den told us we dun haf to pay.. Den when we going their 2 lady bosses gave us their namecards, & told us to come again..



Wow.. What a lunch! I will treasure that experience & keep it for the rest of my life..
