Despite having to cope with a “crazy” lecturer, projects and upcoming exams, Daniel planned a series of events to not only celebrate my 25th birthday but also THE SURPRISE that we have all been waiting for – THE PROPOSAL.
I didn’t ask much for my birthday as all I really wanted was an exercise band to carry around with whilst on biz trip (to ensure that I stretch myself well in the hotel room after the flight…and come to think of it, it would be a good “stress” reliever after having to have mandatory dinner meetings) and a box of Ferrero Rocher. Obvious to many, the latter most probably defeats the purpose of having an exercise band and my new exercise regime. Back to the point – Daniel was “obliged” to get me an enormous birthday card as the one I gave him was already huge. He must have been fitting in well in this Asian society where we place great importance on “saving” and “giving” face. I had an awesome treat to Betty’s Roast Chicken from Billy Bombers (American restaurant) and a movie ticket to watch “THE UGLY TRUTH”. I am no movie-goer. My friends have given up asking me out for a movie. Even Daniel had to persuade me to catch a show with him when he first came to Singapore. I prefer to be in the comfort of my own home watching DVDs. But I must admit that “THE UGLY TRUTH” is the movie that has made me laugh throughout, and no regrets. It was predictable, but I really needed that laugh. Daniel must have had a culture shock at the cinema because everyone was literally LAUGHING OUT LOUD whilst he was doing his typical “British Laughter” (I can’t think of the word for it, but Daniel claims that the “British Laughter” is different or is he just trying to be classy? =p) Most Singaporeans (75% of the population) will not have a problem understanding what the actors are saying although we are laughing out loud because we can read the subtitles in Chinese. But for Daniel, if he cannot hear the lines, he won’t have got the joke.
THE SURPRISE was meant to be a surprise but I kind of knew when it would come because Daniel has to schedule it around my biz trip. It all started on 19.09.2009 when Daniel rang me on my mobile while I was still in bed (he lives just in the next room but he had to ring me!) and told me to wash up and head to Chinese Garden. I was told to bring what I thought was necessary for the day (no make-up, no extra clothes…). I was told to climb to the peak of the pagoda (7 storey) in Chinese Garden. The scenery was awesome and the best part was seeing Daniel waving to me from a distance in the Japanese garden! He was a real teaser throughout the day but I think it made me even eager to hear him pop the question.
We then headed to Sentosa where Daniel had secretly booked a night’s stay at the prestigious Sentosa Resort and Spa (Botanica). I knew nothing of it at all – all thanks to the absolutely fabulous planning duo, Daniel and Rene. The spa retreat was awesome except for the drizzle but it made us feel very relaxed. We had dinner at a Japanese restaurant by the beach and watched the sunset (ok, we didn’t notice the sun setting).
We were up bright and early, preparing ourselves for the buffet breakfast by the pool. And I thought, “When is he going to pop the question?”. I enjoyed swimming boring laps in the pool. But Daniel insisted on heading to the sandy beach despite the hot weather which I swear could have caused me a heat-stroke that morning. Whilst I was tanning, Daniel placed a ring on a Precious Moments figurine and asked if I would marry him. Before any of you go “Awwwww…”, I didn’t say yes immediately. Do you seriously think I could say yes after all the mental torture and games Daniel played with me over those 2 days? I stood up and said, “Hmm…I’m not too sure if I should say yes. Let me ask other people around. Ah, but there aren’t that many people around.”. Daniel’s expression was priceless then when he said, “Yolande Lim, this is serious. It is not time for you to fool around!” and then I said, “YES!”

The Halfway Point
It's been an eventful semester, much different from the first. Following the first semester's stress, I took more time out to relax, taking entire days off from study to spend with Yolande.
We got to see a lot of baby Andrew, first with Singapore's National Day, then with his Christening. National day was interesting to see. We swam, played tennis, and barbecued (as in food, I'm not referring to our skin in the hot weather, although that was probably true in my case). I was shocked by the level of patriotism (I couldn't tell how serious they were) displayed by some of Yolande's relatives, who unashamedly peeked through the window of a first floor apartment next to the barbecue pit in order to watch the celebrations on their TV and recite the Singapore National Pledge in unison with the rest of the nation...
We, the citizens of Singapore
pledge ourselves as one united people,
regardless of race, language or religion,
to build a democratic society,
based on justice and equality,
so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and
progress for our nation.
...If you get the chance, I recommend asking Yolande for her version of this pledge, with added clauses that give a slightly more realistic depiction of Singapore!
But perhaps the biggest highlight was being rushed by Yolande's nieces to quickly down my glass of wine and take them to the playground, where I was spun on a roundabout and made to lift them onto the monkey bars. I went home feeling extremely dizzy!
The Christening was also a lot of fun - Yolande's aunt managed to smuggle baby Andrew onto the minibus after the Christening without his parents realising. We also tried to help him get to sleep later on in the day, but ended up entertaining him by singing and reading to him, which he seemed to enjoy. Although, Yolande now has a reputation for making him cry, which she is convinced he does on purpose only when she holds him in front of others.
Yolande and I also completed our walk, at last, between Orchard Road and home, this time starting from home in the morning. It took us about 5 hours to walk the roughly 20 kilometres to Orchard, including a stop at Clementi, the halfway point, for lunch. We felt very triumphant upon reaching the station, but had only enough energy left for a quick lunch at KFC and the train ride home, after which we napped away the afternoon until about 8pm.
So as you can see, I've been making more effort recently to relax, spend time with Yolande, and reboot myself. I think Yolande has also been much happier this semester as a result. It's not that I've been working any less hard, but perhaps I've been working more efficiently and managing my time better. The first semester's results were good (A for OB, A- for SMBP), but I spent too much time on additional reading that ultimately proved unnecessary when it came to taking exams. In semester two, I streamlined my efforts, reading only what was needed, and putting grades before self-enrichment. As a result, I was far less stressed, enjoyed myself more, and should have hopefully topped semester one's results by a significant margin. However, I think I can do better. Because when it came down to it, I still needed to re-read chapters and make notes for exams later on, making the long hours during term-time spent in the library keeping on top of the readings all but pointless. And I still haven't made much progress with my research projects! Semester three will be 100% streamlined - I will not study unless it will directly impact on my grades, and the rest of my time will be spent on leisure, and of course planning for a certain wedding.
Yes, that's right. Yolande and I are now officially engaged and plan to have the registration of marriage later this year, before travelling to England for our Christmas holidays. In fact, a lot planning went into what turned out to be a complex proposal plan, and I'd like to thank Yolande's friend, Rene, for discussing ideas with me without giving the game away to Yolande! If I do score high grades this semester, it will have been whilst preparing and carrying out this proposal, and whilst preparing for my family's visit to Singapore on the day of my last exam. Not to mention Yolande's birthday week (the myriad celebrations really did last a week!) falling during exam time. In fact, I believe all three of those events (birthday, proposal, family holiday) merit their own blog entry, and two of them would be better told from Yolande's point of view, so I shall conclude this entry by saying that I look forward to, if it's possible, an even more eventful third semester than the last!

Porridge
I'm eating a lot of porridge for breakfast these days. Not the oat-based concoction one might think of in the west. Rather, a dish derived from rice, boiled to submission, to which a variety of augmentations may be made, namely salt, egg, meat, fish, marmite, and bovril, amongst others. This is the Chinese way.

4th August 2009 - Birthday in Singapore!
This year was a special birthday, in that it was the first birthday Yolande and I have ever spent together in the close-to-4-years we have known each other! Despite having a 3.5 hour Finance lecture that morning, my evening turned out splendidly, as I met up with Yolande after work, who treated me to a surprise dinner at a sophisticated Japanese restaurant. The main courses were delicious, as was the surprise birthday cake, which tasted of chocolate, rum, and raspberry. Yum yum! The restaurant even gave us complimentary cheese cake as a birthday treat, and took a polaroid picture of us. We had a magnificent view of Singapore river from our table. Great atmosphere, great music, great conversation - it was a great evening, all told.
Yolande had already given me my birthday present early, which was a 'management fable' called "The THREE SIGNS of a Miserable Job". It has an enjoyable story, as well as being the book I'll be critiquing for one of my research projects, so having my own copy is pretty handy.
I've yet to spend the birthday money I received from Nanny and Zoe & Robin, but I'll be sure to think hard and buy something I'll get a lot out of. I was very pleased to receive so many cards in the post and birthday messages via Facebook from my family and friends. Thank you everybody!!!
It was sad to spend a second birthday in a row away from my family in England, but I am looking forward to their arrival in Singapore at the end of September (when we'll celebrate mine and Yolande's birthday all over again!) and, in the meantime, was thrilled to receive a parcel of Roysters crisps from Gemma, who knew just how much I'd been craving them!
P.S. Since we only ate a small slice at the restaurant, the other day I asked Yolande if she fancied having any of the leftover birthday cake (which I managed to squash on the bus home) for pudding. It turns out Yolande and her parents finished it all without me knowing! (Yolande thought I'd had some too!) Oh well, I'll just have to buy a nice cake for Yolande's birthday and eat some of that! (Come to think of it, that was probably her plan all along... Mua ha ha!)

Our Getaway to Batam
Dan and I booked ourselves a weekend getaway to Batam soon after he was done with his first semester. We were looking forward to our stay at Harris Resort, the one where Dan and I stayed when he came to Singapore last July. Not only were the service and spa facilities awesome - karaoke was the very next activity we were keen on doing over the weekend.
Not too sure if I am a difficult customer or if it's simply because I have been spoilt by "Japanese Customer Service"; I must admit that Customer Service standards in Singapore have deteriorated to unacceptable levels of which I am very much ashamed. When I requested the lady over the counter to amend my Immigration Card (my D.O.B was incorrect), she frowned and told me in an impolite and unprofessional manner, "It's OK [one lah]" (this is Singlish), shooed me away and attended to the next customer. Dan said I should have demanded that the very same lady amend my details so that she would learn to fix her mistakes. But knowing me, it was best I approached someone else to avoid ruining the entire holiday.
Anyway, we soon reached Batam after 1.5 hours' boat ride. We enjoyed our lunch and were very excited about the 3 hour spa that would help us de-stress. After the spa, we had a game of bowling, courtesy of the resort. We must say that we are sticking to Wii Sports for bowling.
Throughout the day we were very excited about Karaoke. However, soon after dinner we found out that they no longer had Karaoke at the usual place. A new Karaoke bar had taken over and was charging us $20 per hour (the usual price was $5 plus a free drink for the entire night)!!! We were very unhappy with the fact that different staff charged us different prices ($6 per 10 songs, etc.) and so on. The manager was called in, as I could not be bothered explaining the situation to every single member of staff I had to speak to, and Dan managed to negotiate free karaoke for 1.5 hours with a free drink. Just as we thought the unpleasant experience was over, we experienced power failure (while asleep) 4 times throughout the night and two false fire alarms!!!
The next morning, we were selected to provide our feedback and guess what, we were aboslutely frank with our comments!!! Our friends and family in Singapore felt that what we did would lead us to nowhere and so on...
WE GOT A FREE NIGHT'S STAY THE NEXT TIME WE VISIT!!!

End of Term
Time really flies. I've already completed my first term, submitted 2 pre-course assignments, 2 main assignments, made 2 presentations and taken 2 exams.
The (provisional) score so far:
Organisational Behaviour
PCA (A+)
MA ???
Presentation (A+)
Exam ???
Strategic Management & Business Practice
PCA (A+)
MA ???
Presentation ???
Exam ???
Unfortunately, the exam and main assignment for each module comprise 70-80% of the total mark, so I still don't have a clear indication of my progress and won't do for another 1-2 months.
The OB main assignment turned out to be a 7,267 word beast, squeezed into just 10 days. Actually, it was supposed to be a four person group project, but I'm very particular about who I work with - I didn't much like the idea of my grade being 'diluted', as it were. SMBP also challenged me with my first ever powerpoint presentation, made in front of the entire class, dressed in a suit. Apparently one of the Vietnamese guys secretly took pictures of me presenting and put them on Facebook, because I "looked so formal"... ōó
...
...If I find them, I'll post them up. The exams were mixed. I have my concerns about the SMBP exam, but I have a feeling the OB exam went much better.
Other highlights included a 'corporate visit' to the Gardenia bread factory!
...Which was over almost as soon as it began. Still, it was interesting to see how the bread was made, it forced me to break away from study for one afternoon, I got to sample some of the merchandise and I returned with goodies for Yolande from the gift shop (a Gardenia bag and gym towel). Most importantly, it was free (not the goodies, I must stress)!
I'm almost half way through my 2 week 'break' now. I've already started reading through next term's textbooks (Corporate Financial Management, Marketing Management), which are utterly huuuge! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I picked them up after my OB exam last Friday. Actually, I'm pretty excited about these modules. CFM is basically applied maths (my best subject) and MM is really the core of what doing business is all about - meeting needs profitably.
Last Friday we also got to hang out with Yolande's friends from NUS Japanese studies. They're a great bunch of people - I really enjoyed myself.
This weekend we have a trip to Batam! 3 hour spa, karaoke, bowling, swimming (just paddling for Yolande, whose eyes are still freshly lasered). I hope we don't get quarantined... I'll be sure to let you all know!
I suppose during the second week of this break I should really get down to researching my 2 research projects (RP1, RP2), along with some other stuff I need to sort out...

The Route to Perfect Eyesight
I had glasses since I was 8 and my prescription was as high as 650 for each eye, with pretty bad astigmatism of 250. Without my glasses I was lost and blind. Many times I tried switching to contact lenses but to no avail since it caused dryness and none of the opticians could get my presciption right.
Lasik has been around in Singapore for a good 17 years or so. When it first began, prices per eye were sky-high and I guess I resigned myself to the fate of wearing glasses for my entire life. It was fine wearing glasses till I started work about a year ago. Long exposure to computer light rays irritated my eyesight further. I suffered from frequent migraines and my eyes became extremely sensitive to light. There was nothing much my optician could do as he said I had normal, healthy eyes - that was comforting.
Hence, on the 20th June 2009 I went for a Lasik forum at the Paragon Medical Centre held by the Lasik Surgery Clinic. It is one of the more established clinics with the latest surgical machines in Singapore. To be honest, it sounded scary. The clinic offered a free evaluation eye check-up which I went for the next day and that was the day I plucked up courage and decided to have Lasik (on the very day itself).
I was tearing a lot right after the surgery (my cousin, Sue, had surgery too but she was feeling so well that she returned home to do some chores) and could barely open my eyes. Thank goodness I was prescribed 2 sleeping pills to help me sleep for the first 2 nights. It was painless. It just felt like I was too sleepy (imagine being severely jet-lagged) to keep my eyes open.
Overwhelmed by excitment, I woke up at 530am the very next day to "test" my eye-sight. It was close to perfection! I won't have a full recovery till 3-6 months later, but for now I can very much continue with my lifestyle without any hinderance. Every now and then, my ability to see perfectly fluctuates. Sitting in front of the computer or TV for extended period of time during the healing period may cause my vision to get slightly blurry so I try to walk around my office more (gives me the opportunity for more toilet breaks and not work till late at night!).
I won't be able to swim for the next month or so just to prevent any eye infection.
Goodbye glasses and contact lenses (till I get hyperopia!!!).
