Uncle M' Bday














Today is Mauricio birthday. Finally he keep his promise after 1.5 year promise to cook the turkey for us...haahahahaha...we finally manage to force him to cook for us. It was nice of him to put in so much effort to cook the turkey. He even woke up early today just to prepare the turkey....on his birthday....
It was a long process. I felt bad so around 12 I woke up and lend him a hand with the cooking. The kitchen was in the mess. After i help him to clean up a little went back to bed.
Woke up about 645pm and everyone was waiting in the living room. Serenella T, Stefano, Stephanie, Sara was already waiting. Then Maria and her bf came while Jamile went and bought a cake. A. Banana came last. There wasnt enough space for everyone so we have to serve the turkey in buffet style...ahahaha.


After dinner we took out the cake and sang H.Birthday in Eng, Cantonese, Germany, Finnish, Spanish and Italian...hhahahaha....we found out also that although its in Spanish but there are many version to it while the Brazillian Portuguese birthday song involve interaction among the crowd....what a entertaining birthday song....We made Unc.M gave a speech....Later Serenella , Stephanie and Sara left while the rest of us continue to do our sharing ...

Late for work

slept like a pig today. Em & Maurucio met up with Justin and Celso at Maryland Heights Dennis today for lunch.
Woke up at 1015pm!!!!! and was late for work. Begin to feel more quiet at work. Now that Em and Mari has left GSC, there will be less and less people in the department working at night. Conrado has left for Brazil to attend his sis wedding ceremony for 10days. No one to share lunch time together. But I guess is a good time for me to do some self reflection for the whole traineeship and also begin to plan the backpacking trip.

Loneliness @ work..

Emily's Actual Last Day

Emily was talking to Stephanie yesterday and Steph was saying that she would miss Em's curry chicken for sure. So that gives Miss Curry Chicken Emily a brilliant idea today. She jumps out of bed at 4pm to cook her favorite dish for everyone. I couldn’t be bothered to help as I was so tired due to her hyper activeness yesterday. Somehow she manages to prepare all that by herself. Emily held like a little party today on her last day preparing the curry chicken and inviting everyone to try it for the last time. Steph was so touch by Emily’s kindness she shed some tears. Well, credit to Emily for making the curry chicken. Really I am impressed by her kindness. Ohhhh…how I love her for that. From then on it was just picture taking after picture taking. Emily also spend the day finishing up all the goodbye notes to everyone. Today is really her last day. At 6am, Fran was the first one to come and say good bye to Emily and Maricel. Then Emily and Maricel make their rounds around GSC to say good bye to everyone. Sanja, Min Yi, Etsuko, Nancy, Shary, Ana, Maria Seitz, Alan Pickett and everyone else bid their goodbyes to Emily and Maricel.

Sad last day @ GSC for Emily and Maricel…

Emily's "last" Day..False alarm

Emily came home today all hyper and jumping around. She was so excited because today is her last day at work. She could not sleep in whole morning and she was just rolling around the bed the whole time. Finally I couldn’t stand it anymore I offer her to go to her favourite place …ALDI…she practically jump up from the bed. So….we went shopping from grocery…but she had other ideas. Along the way she request to go to TJ Max but I quickly shoot it down with no other offers. After ALDI we went home for some congee. That’s where we found out that it’s not her last day tonight. Mauricio has spoken to Karen.A and they have wanted the 5 trainees to stay and their last day would be tomorrow instead of today. She had overtime today at 2pm so, she only sleep like 2 hours from today and we had to leave the house at 1.30pm. I followed her to work today to become her official “Emily Tan Last Day at Work” photographer. We took lot of pics today with the entire MC employee, Nancy, Karen, Scott, Ana, Melissa….and also not forgetting all the trainees. I was supposed to leave after my “contract” as the official photographer ends at 4.30pm but then somehow it continues on till 6.30pm when she finishes her OT. Mauricio also finish his OT today the same time. We decide to enjoy a little and head to KFC. We took 8 chicken barrel (3pieces we kept for Melissa Tseu) while Mr Kiasu Mauricio took 10 pieces barrel of chicken to himself…..hahahhahahahaha.

We finish about 8pm the Mauricio head home while we head to Domino Pizza to buy some pizza for the farewell party at MC today. Jarol and Phyllis prepared the food for the party. Jarol cooked a noodle pasta today…wow!!!! Hehehehehe. Pizza, chicken wings, some buns, Danish puffs. The party was to celebrate Emily and Maricel ‘s “last day” in MC. Lot of pics. Emily as places in HSBC today so she could go round talking ..etc away. But most of the time I am the one have to use my AUX time to take care of her phone while she go mingle around. We finish work at 6.00am.

Hyper active Emily, KFC, “Last day” party….

E-Mong Left

We came home at 6am and we slept a little. We woke up about 7.30am. Called A.Banana and they were still at home. We decided to head to the airport first not waiting for them. We had breakfast at Burger King while waiting for them to arrive. E-Mong and A.Banana went ahead with the checking in for the flight. E-Mong somehow manage to make A.Banana sew her pants for her at the airport!!!...I cannot believe it. Then it was a quick hugs and she was on her way. This time there was no crying and tears…just sadness. Probably we have all grown to realize that goodbye is only for now and we would sure meet up one day again. We watched as she made her way through the security check. We went on to Starbucks in Maryland Heights. We shared with A.Banana about our plans for the future. At about 1030am, we all went on our separate ways to work.

The end of visit of the E-Mong……

We drove about 1 hour on H-64/40 then on H-94 towards the Mount Pleasent winery. It was really a long and hilly and rainy drive. Really nice winery with rich history..since 18something. USD5 to taste 5 different wine. That was enough to make me lil tipsy. (its kinda weird cause normally dont have to pay to taste the wine...prob this place it to poor to run for free tasting...hehehe) Then we decide to head to the restaurant sit down and really taste the wine. We bought some cheese and some choco and find ourself a little hut by the hill side....sip our wine anyway. DRUNK.

Hmm....after all the last visit more last visit, the Ms "Mong" Wong came back to town. She was in Boston for a week for company "training" she came over on last nite but we had OT so Andrea and Justin (the Original B family) picked her up from the airport. We finish OT this morning at 10 am and went straight home the meet the Mong. She was over at Andrea's place so we decide to rest before the storm....hahaha...They came over about 1 pm and we took foever to decide where we would go for lunch. From Chinese Buffet to Mexican restaurant to this to that...in the end we settled for Korean Instant Ramen. Total home cook...I cooked!! Later as usual we went to Emily's daily and weekly hangout place...Marshalls then to Famous Barr. After shopping...we came back home ...all tired ...and decided to head to TGI Fridays for dinner on H-94. After 2 sips of the Long Island Tea...the mong got drunk and start to be all horny and hornless at the same time. She begin to run her mouth and laying all over the place.A fter we took picture, shared the appetizer, each with its own margaritas and Justin's "high speed" in finishing his dinner, we decided to head home to rest for the day. First to go down...as usual the drunken Mong aka B aka Wong...snoring away. We tried to do something but the MOng was snoring away while Andrea look a bit upset for not doing anything on a Sat nite. Me and Justin decided something had to be done. So we took ice and started to harass E-Mong in her sleep. Miracle happen and E-Mong woke up. She suggested that we try the new bottle of cocktail that she brought from the WOT!! land...PIMMS. Apparently she said that its a summer drink and we have to mix it with fruits. Orang, strawberry and of course Laichee...ahahhahahahahaha....i can just hear Justin bitching about the taste. While are a sipping way the new cocktail, Justin continue to run his mouth. The Malaysian Mongs and B's continue the nite with Chor Tai Tee with red wine while the Banana's watch tv and the Mr Mouth runner went to Mari's bed. We close up at 2am.Went to bed but without missing more action. The moment we hit the bed...2 mins later the Mong orchestra begins....ahahahahah.....then it was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...............

A day of boring shopping, drunken mongs with L.I.Tea and margaritas,m chor tai tee and new PIMMS in the house....
