Went out for lunch with the Newbies, Jojo and Jacintha, last week. Jojo was a PR manager with The Cannery before she joined us. Jacintha's last occupation remains as a mystery because I did not attempt to ask her - we were too shocked by her weird mannerisms. She comes across as an "off" person - in terms of dressing, behavior etc. Whatever, see how it goes, but I doubt she will stay long in the company. As for Jojo, she is a complete opposite of Jacintha - she comes across as sincere and warm. Though simple in dressing, her personality is outstanding. We had substandard lunch at the anonymous coffeeshop before proceeding to the Fullerton Hotel. Reminded me of a very close friend who brought me to the Amarita Spa. Felt that if we could slack in the beautiful place instead of going back to the hell hole, that would be so fantastic!~

Spent my yesterday in JB. Went for a good massage, good shopping (at Watson's though) and a good dinner at Cha Chan Teng. Accountant always likes to ask me "Why JB?" My reply would be because the things there are relatively cheaper than Singapore and the service level is on par, or even better, so why shouldn't I go to JB? Take for example, last Saturday, I went for a 90 min massage & bodyscrub in Singapore for $119. For yesterday's 90 min aromatherapy massage, the price was RM 124, equivalent to $60. Almost half the price! Despite many cases of Singaporeans being robbed and attacked, I guess so long as one takes the necessary precautions and practises basic respect, it should be fine. Yesterday was at Cha Chan Teng, we were sitting beside a group of rowdy Singaporean teenagers who were talking and laughing so loudly. If we were affected by them, guess others would be as well. As a Singaporean, I felt ashamed of them. Why be clowns in public?
