Official opening - 20th May 2010
My company will vacate Kaki Bukit Techview building by end of June. The lease with Ascendas will be up by then. Because there were some new business moved over from Dublin to Singapore, so we need a bigger office space and production floor.
My new office will be just opposite Tampines Ikea/Giant! If you dine at the Ikea cafe, you will be able to see my office building. Well, then you will know where I worked cause the logo is so big and you can see it so clearly from the cafe window. :)
A building that fully owns by my company. They build from scratch off the ground and completed it within 11 months! The building still won some Green Mark award (by Building & Construction Authority) due to the technology feature of able to save electricity and water. How amazing! The production floor had already moved and the office staffs will pack up and moved on 18th June.
I attended the official opening on 20th May. Only selected employees were invited and I am one of the "lucky" one? Anyway, join my colleagues for fun to tour around the building. Special guest of honour was our Minister of Finance - Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam. Some VPs from US also attended this special ceremony. The ceremony started with all the big shots dotting the eye/head/ear/tongue (whatever) of the lion and the lion dance began to come alive. Our traditional lion dance thingy. It was quite a grand ceremony with many guests from different companies invited to the opening, including the Media.
I joined the company in June 2005 and had moved my cubicles location 3 times in the office due to some restructuring and expanding of office space. But for the past 2 years (after I changed my role), I work from home most of the time having my cubicles showing piles of dust.
Jan this year, I totally gave up my cubicle because I am officially on mobility scheme which means I am given a small amount of allowance to work from home and that allowance is to help pay for my internet and phone bills. Not all employees get to have this scheme as it depends on the work nature and approval from boss. Ofcourse I do go back office for meetings if needed. Do not envy me for being able to work from home because there are pros and cons to it!
Moving to the new office, my boss gave us the option to choose having back cubicle or continue with the mobility. Well, I choose the latter because I am too used to the peacefulness and the productivity level in working at home. Even if I got a cubicle, I think it will only contain dusts and not notes. :p
Anyway, I do look forward going to the new office because
1) the office space is BIG!
2) I will have FREE parking as the building belongs to the company now
3) I get to do groceries shopping at Giant
4) I get to eat the hotdog bread and curry puffs and chicken wings from Ikea
5) I get to shop at Courts for electrical products! - They always have Massive sales!
The building structure
It's only 3 levels but it's so long lor!

Mother's Day
8th May:
A busy Saturday. 12+pm left the house to attend Hui's campmate cum polyfriend (Also my poly friend but he is not the same class as Hui & I) baby full month party at Bishan. Then proceed to Zoophonics at Serangoon for the girls' class. Went back to MIL's house after the class to collect the girls' porridge which we asked MIL helped to prepare. The girls did not had enough nap time hence both fell asleep on the way back to MIL's house. End up we stayed there for about 2 hour, waiting for the girls to wake up. Left the house at 6+pm to Liang Court for the Mother's Day dinner with Hui's family. Dinner was at Shin Yeh. A Taiwanese restaurant under Tung Lok's group. Food was not bad but the price of the food was quite expensive. Bill came up to about $370 for a table of 10.
Daddy said his dressing today matches Elsie so must take a photo with her!

9th May:
Actual mother's day was spent with my mum since every Sunday is a routine for me to go back Clementi. Went to Vivocity for some shopping before proceeding to early dinner at The Asian Kitchen. Many places were fully reserved since it's a special day so we just basically find a place that had seats for us. Food was quite good too and instead of eating the porridge which we brought out, Elsie wanted to eat the fried rice which Hui and Mum ordered. I think she enjoyed the rice alot but not sure is it because the rice was really that nice or she enjoyed eating it all by herself! The way I see her scooping up the rice using the spoon and putting it into her mouth made me realised how much she had grown up! Without much guidance, she seems to be able to do it the correct way. Guess we really cannot under estimate the observation skills the kids have and how good they are in imitating what the adults are doing! We now had to be really careful of what we speak and action infront of the girls!
Is it the milk powder now contains too much DHA which makes the kids in this century seems to be so much smarter??! Hmmm...
Food ordered at The Asian Kitchen
See how engross Elsie is in her pretending-to-know-how-to-write action!
Finally Elsie is not afraid of the carousel and enjoying it together with her sister, turning round and round!
