걸면 좋은 일만 생기는 무료 전화

It's all about the Korean toll-free telephone numbers in class today. Apparently in Korea, toll-free numbers are selected as the pronunciation resemble closely to certain words or action verbs. As such, these numbers are easily remembered by customers. Here are some to share:

한식.분식 6262 (요리요리 - Cooking)

經過1年多的比賽，華視「快樂星期天」歌唱年度總冠軍比賽，昨天晚上的參賽者由韋禮安以8.8的分數，擊敗8.7的艾鈞偉，成為年度總冠軍並抱走獎盃與10 萬元獎金。以黑馬之姿殺出重圍，韋禮安說：「以前不喜歡自己的聲音，經過比賽發現自己的天賦，才知道自己聲音有多麼獨特。」

「快樂星期天」的年度總冠軍決賽從昨天下午3時起開始錄影，比賽過程數度因為計分版等問題，時間不斷延後，一直到晚上9時半才結束比賽。最後是由義守大學的艾鈞偉和台灣大學的韋禮安進入PK賽，韋禮安以「You're beautiful」絕佳的歌唱技巧，擊敗原本奪獎呼聲極高的艾鈞偉。

20歲的韋禮安，由於參賽以來表現並不十分突出，但最後兩周表現卻越來越亮眼，也獲得評審包括包小松、包小柏和黃舒駿在決賽時的一致讚賞。

有趣的是，韋禮安曾就讀的大里高中校長在頒獎時，意外說出「韋禮安在大里高中就讀四年」，引起台下竊竊私語，隨後才補充「不過有一年是遊學啦」，引起小小的笑聲。與冠軍失之交臂的艾鈞偉，因為觀眾緣極佳，昨天雖奪下亞軍卻也落下不捨的淚水。

摘下冠軍後，韋禮安表示獎金會用作學費，至於是否會有唱片約，他表示：「沒想過要出唱片，現在只想睡覺，很餓。」但他也透露目前並無女友，參加歌唱比賽後，確實曾擔心爆紅帶來的影響。對於楊宗緯的後續合約問題，韋禮安則說：「不予置評。」

바비큐 파티를 했다!

I just got back from a BBQ session, still feeling rather bloated from excessive food! It's been a long time since CCHers got together for pot luck ^^

Thanks Fanny for booking the pit and letting us make a mess of your house! Thank you Anna catering and all the chefs who have cooked for us!

센토사 팀티빌딩

My company held its annual team building event at Sentosa today. I was spared of the gruelling games because I'm one of the committee members. As the only marketing guru in the APAC office, I was asked to join in the planning of this company event by the HR manager (sigh I wish I wasn't volunteered for this).

Anyway I'm glad all went well although there were some hiccups... MacD lunch came late, we waited over half hour for our snack items and cool rain poured, stopped and came back at every new game!

Will upload pictures once I get a copy of them. So... patience!

노래를 잘 부른다!

The competition gets better! It's now down to just 4. Yesterday's competition, 韋禮安 had 8.6 marks ~ that's the highest score. As the programme was not shown live, there was no sms voting; scoring was purely based on the 3 judges.

I'm so happy that 韋禮安 has gotten into top 5 for 快樂星期天《校園歌喉戰》!
I hope he wins this competition and I look forward to his debut album... I have a good feeling that he will be signed on as a singer ^^

영어는 잘 못 해요!

Seems like Ms C is not getting any better with her English...
And I can't believe this painting is worth that money! But then again Ms C's taste is pretty unconventional.... lol



Hi Everyone

If you have not noticed, we have got some new paintings up since this Monday. They have been chosen because they blends in well with our new corporate color scheme and more importantly, they are abstract paintings which allows your imagination. So if you wonder what they are, exercise your creativity and when you are stuck with ideas, look up and hopefully it might help you to clear the blocks.

Today, we have also brought in the new chairs for everyone. It has been test-seated and proven to be the best back-supported chairs among the lot for consideration and definitely much better than the ones we have before. So we hope you enjoy them!

As for the old chairs, we will be keeping the good ones for re-upholstery and trading-in those in poor conditions. I have left all those to be traded-in in the meeting rooms. Before I clear the chairs away tomorrow, if there is anyone of you who is interested to take home some chairs, please do so by end of today.

How many errors have you spotted?

I decided to do a translation of what I have written in Korean... Many have commented they do not understand what I was blogging.

Sometimes it's good to express your thoughts in Korean and it makes me practise what I have learnt.

I just started my Korean lessons with Singapore Korean School today. Classes are held twice a week, 50 minutes each lesson. Ever since I finished L6 with NUS Extension, I haven't been taking any lessons for approximately 2 months. That explains why I didn't do quite well for the SKS placement test. I know... no excuses...

I was placed in E3, re-studying most of the grammar and vocabulary which I have learnt. But I'm glad I am getting a chance to revise everything again. E3 is a small class of 10 students and my teacher shares the same name as me! With new faces around me, I feel like a complete stranger. I do hope to make new friends and interact more with the class.

Let's persevere!

감사합니다!

I got a surprise this morning. During the office huddle, my MD announced that I was the winner for Q2 Key Contributor Individual Award.

Before he announced it, he was reading .... she is a new hire..... events.... I went blank when I heard events as I'm the only marketing person in the APAC office.



Thank you Jane for nominating me and the trust you have placed in me. I am extremely grateful for the guidance and support you have given me since I joined the company.

Thank you to the EMEA marketing team members who are always so ready to lend their help whenever I drop them emails. Thank you for all your wishes. Though I'm alone sitting in the APAC office, it really warms my heart to receive these emails.

Congratulations – I am so pleased that you won – you thoroughly deserve to win – you have worked very hard since you joined us and you have so much enthusiasm and passion for your work. Congratulations and very well done!

Congratulations on your Key Contributor win. With all the events you’ve been having lately it’s very well deserved.

Many congratulations on your award! We hear about all the hard work you are doing and it sounds as though you are having great success! If you ever need any help or information – don’t forget we are here and will do everything we can to help!! Well done again – it’s very well deserved!

감기에 걸렸다!

I'm down with flu again!
I was on medical leave on Monday, struggled through Tuesday and finally I have to see the doctor again today to get another day of rest.

It's the illness season now.

When I called my family doctor at 10am to take a queue number, the receptionist told me I was #41 and asked me to go down 2 hours later. What?! In the end I settled for another doctor instead.

I guess the best medicine for flu is sleep. I'm getting drowsy again....
