JB 1 day trip

Saturday, November 21, 2009, 11:59 PM

Met up with Cyn and Judy at Kranji Mrt Stn at 11am to JB. Took bus 170 which was quite crowded on a Sat morning. Went to the new custom which was much better than the time I went with my friends during poly time. New it's fully air-conditioned like e airport custom, won't get frustrated waiting to clear the custom like previously. Thought we would have a hard time finding City Square but surprisingly it was so easy to locate. Just have to follow the signboard and it's fully sheltered all the way. Intention of going there was mainly for the massage which was recommended by Cyn.

http://www.thaiodyssey.com

Cyn and I had 60mins of Traditional Thai massage, while Judy chose the half body massage at Thai Odyssey. I paid abt RM 78 which I think it's quite exp. Haven't tried something like this before and I guess it's quite worth going for the 1st time. The Thai masseurs just inserted force all the way on us. Normally when I go for massage, they will apply oil on my body. But for this, it's purely using their bare hands and we can even be in their pajamas. The whole session consist of pain and more pain, I thought it's just me experiencing this so I didn't ask the masseur to use lesser strength. My friends felt the same too. Maybe our bodies are just too tired. When the masseurs used the stretching techniques like e pics shown above, pain was all i can experience followed by some cracking sounds. Overall, did feel abit relieved and relaxed but we were still thinking if we would want to go for a 2nd time.

After massage, we were all so hungry. Searching for food. Cyn was thinking of having Penang Laksa but I dun think I like e spicy-sour taste. So we thought of going to Kim Gary since Judy wanted to have Chinese food. Ordered Chicken Chop this round bearing in mind that I shdn't order their spaghetti which didn't taste nice the last time I had it at Kim Gary @ Vivocity.

Tadah! our spread of food. Cyn ordered the all-time-favourite, chicken mushroom rice. Judy had instant noodle soup that taste exactly like instant noodles *duhs* hahaa.. the borsch soup's portion is rather small as it's served in a cup just that it didn't come with a saucer. The dessert that comes with my set meal wasn't that appealing bcos we didn't like almond.

Went for more shopping. Wanted to buy disc but now it's very dangerous so we gave that a missed. Ju gotten herself a mismatch set of pajamas. Cos she likes a top and gotten another pants separately. like e felix cat at the bottom of her purple pants. it's sweet! haahaa.. kinda influenced by them to wear pajamas at home too. i'm more into princessy stuffs so yeah... get me smth! =P

Gd times is always so fast. we went to macs for a bite and very soon, it's 8.45pm! hahaa.. to avoid the jam and all, we cleared the custom by 9pm. took the yellow coach bus, Causeway Link (CW 2) all the way to Queens Street (Bugis), only at RM 2.50! If we want to go to JB next time, we can also go there from Bugis at SGD 2.40. Better than travelling all the way to Kranji just to take e bus.

P/S Msg gotten today is to put a full stop to it. I have to remember this by heart. Thanks God for speaking to me thru my gd friends. Constantly reminding me of what I shd do.

wwoo

Friday, November 20, 2009, 11:52 PM

Whole wk of all work and no play during working days bcos of manpower down. finally weekend is here. im so looking fwd to this day. was intending to slp early today but nope, like what WS they all say, why waste a Friday night away by slping. i also dun feel like going out after going home late everyday due to OT.

Think it's a blessing in disguise! Thurs' aerobics class was postponed to next wk cos instructor couldn't attend e class. And thank God, I didn't leave on e dot cos even then, I had to work until 8 plus 9, what's more if I leave early, my teammates would have to stay back much later. Talking abt this, I'm starting to feel sian after my 1st aerobics class and I thot it would so much of a relieve for not going. In short, I feel like quitting already.. oh no! this is bad!

Today, we all just decided to leave at 8pm after clearing e necessary, leaving everything else to next Mon. but still, I'm sad that i can't go to the Peranakan Museum for bloggers who have registered for the event, which is from 6.30 to 8.30pm. can only look at Jas' photos uploaded in fb and blog.. hmm.. it's such a nice experience i believe, and being so sua-ku, i dun even know that this museum exist in the 1st place.

When I need to do something, I'll have to get it done. Recently, find that my iPhone's screen is getting so irritating with all e fingerprints that has to be consistently wiped away that I know it's high time to get a screen protector for it. gotten a matt one who i dun really like it at 1st sight but bcos of practicality, i still get it. no more fingerprint is one, anti-glazing is another. having e screen protector won't cause any difference as e touchpad is still very sensitive. a few pple commented that i shd get a casing long ago. i didn't bother initially bcos since day 1, e Apple logo on e back of e phone already has scratches. but now, i feel like getting e cover so that even if I accidentally drop e phone, i won't get so heartache. i think i only dropped once at home from my bed. luckily e impact wasn't big. initially i wanted to get e flip down casing but find it difficult to open and e colours dun look appealing too. finally decide to get a hot pink rubbery cover for my nude phone. simple and nice!

Chatted on msn with a fren, realised that my patience level is no longer there. i have to ask e same qn for so many times just to get a simple ans. of cos i won't feel really pissed off bcos I dun have much expectation for this person. if not, I will jump for sure.

weekend... lots to do! whoo~~

Aerobics class on Thurs

Saturday, November 14, 2009, 10:45 PM

Backdated post - 12 Nov 09

Super sian cos of my contacts lenses giving me problem. Too dry suddenly and one side dropped off. Thought of buying it at Spectacles Hut and so I went right away. Was given many choices but all seems expensive. I took a bi-weekly one since that's e only one with my high power of 800 degrees each, it's very cheap for 3 pairs at $28+ but I dunno why e left side is still so dry and hurting and blur even! i find that e contact lens dun really stay long on my eyes. Dripped a few drops of eye drops but it doesn't help much. That's why when I go for e aerobics class, I couldn't concentrate with e irritating feeling that my contact lenses caused.

Came out from ofc at 6.30pm to meet Jean at the bus stop, missed e stupid bus and class will start at 7pm. Was thinking that since it's already 6.50pm, we might as well take a cab so that we can get to the community centre quickly. Who knows e bus came but no cabs were in sight. All turning into the taxi stand and we waited in vain for a cab to come after 5mins or so. At 1st there's a cab but he dun want to send us there after hearing e location. Then another one pop by. We were so glad but then, e starting charge was freaking expensive - $5 with peak hour surcharge somemore. Reached destination which is only like 3 to 4 bus stops away at $10.40 but e cab driver charged us $10. Stupid thing was that we were still late for 10 mins, if we took e bus earlier on, think we will also reach ard e same timing. Really a bad hair day!

Got changed and entered e class at 7.15pm and e instructor was still giving e briefing like some orientation. Getting to know our names and whether do we do exercise often or have any aerobics experience. So in short, the class hasn't commence. Make us rush like mad. Then from e way she talks, I find that she's rather strict or should i say professional? There are students only joining the class on the day itself and she made them register downstairs right away and said it won't be fair for e rest who has registered earlier on. She has 12 yrs of experience working in this line and not only teaching in community ctrs but other places as well.

She says that many pple thinks that aerobics is easy with e steps but it's different when u are doing it. Some gave up after one to two lessons. She told us that we must always bend our knees a little so that we won't injure our knees or ligament during e exercise. She says she will only be teaching us the basic steps for the 1st lesson and we need to breathe and not hold our breath throughout the class and we can take small sips of water during break and not gurgle down e whole bottle of water. She will teach according to the class' pace - depending on how fast we can coordinate. she told us it's ok not to buy a pair of aerobics shoes if we only have aerobics once a wk unless we have other aerobics classes. I think she also advised us not to get running shoes bcos it's hard for us to balance on it. then wad to buy? sports shoes? i dun rem!! *oh no*

She started us off with the warm up exercise b4 turning on e music with the basic steps. marching to the front, clap, marching backwards, clap, marching sideaways, basic walk - out out in in, double single to the sides, kicking backwards, cha cha to the left and right.. i think i got really confused at times and it's so fast! i think i'm like moving all over e place but e rest seems to be quite pro, esp. those standing in front. they did exactly like how e instructor demonstrated and i just have to look at them. dun forget, it's only e basic without fanciful actions, what if it's combined with e rest, i think i might just give up like what e instructor says. *tough*

i'm supposed to attend smth that is not so stressful so i think i can forget abt joining dance classes where i need to rem the steps. hahaha. that's abt all.. next wk i have to leave ofc on e dot so as to avoid being late.

work in progress

, 8:19 PM

Above is the "love contract" that we are working hard on this whole afternoon. Asked Janise to help me with writing e chinese characters, 爱的宣言. She loves writing chinese wordings so it's just nice. She just used the thick black marker to write on the paper and the strokes looks similar to calligraphy writing which she has learnt b4 back in sch days. We all love it, glad to have asked her for help :D

We bought e L size men's undies from Watson. Haha! dunno if it's big enough cos it looks SMALL and there's no XL size. we are still pending for e no. of brothers involved. 5 or 6? *qn marks* for e song, i've printed e lyrics and e sisters will be touching up on that. as for e love contract, Xueli wrote it out and we all think that her handwriting is gd as compared to ours. hers handwriting is cute, those with "口" will be either in heart shape or O. I like how e contract is drafted and also e cute wordings like "张老公" and "蔡老婆". we have purposely left the 5th love promise blank for my cousin to fill that in on the spot. whooo shall see what he writes on e wedding day. As for the other materials, e sisters will also be taking care of them. They have done a great job in e pre-wedding preparation! cheerios!

Left Kovan's MacDonalds for home after finalising the layout of the love contract. dunno why it doesn't look right.. too plain or what, cannot be explained. eventually changed from horizontal to vertical which looks so much better. we cut out the heads of my biao ge & biao sao's wedding pic and will turn them into something creative with sticker tee-shirts. hopefully we won't get scolded for cutting out e pics. =P

Will i be able to meet up with u after next Wed after u are back fr ur overseas trip? Is this e happiness that I've been waiting for?

Thots

Friday, November 13, 2009, 11:45 PM

Learnt smth that I tot it's something that I ought to know.

I dun wanna rash into a decision but I always have this problem.

acting impulsively without thinking of e consequences.

Now that I know that this has already happened,

do I still want things to go on further?

I dunno why, B says that he's not afraid of bringing back e past memories but maybe i shdn't have contacted him again,

perhaps it's a gd test to know if he has fully moved on.

I dunno why this happens or how it happens.

He has went thru similar things that i'm going thru now bcos of me,

How shd i really feel?

Did e same thing happened to WK too?

Beats me *Shrugs*

But I guess for that, there will be lesser pain

for them cos we didn't even started a formal r/s at all.

To me, once a r/s is carried on too far

and separation is happens,

it's an entirely different thing.

That's when I thought I dun wanna experience

a breakup ever again! It's too torturous.

Love is such a complicated thing.

Why do I want to let sorrow and disappointment fill me,

when I have the right to choose my own happiness?

If I can, dun let chances slip away again.

I dun want the same stressful thing to happen

again like my past r/s.

This isn't what I want all along.

I need someone who really appreciates me for who I am.

Not one that takes me for granted.

Facial + 2 yoga (Hot series + Gentle)

Sunday, November 8, 2009, 11:59 PM

facial experience was overall nice except for e extraction which was horrendous! i nearly teared as e needle went in and pressed into my face. in such cases, i have to resist e pain and cannot cry, cannot shout or scream or stop e person from doing e same action. just have to tolerate, it's a torture. but it's also a gd time to have facial to clear up e congestion and it's gonna get better and better, so yeah.. i won't complain.

after that, went for our quick lunch and had McChicken each and headed to Far East Plaza to try on more dresses. this time, i'm in tees, shorts and slippers, so much easier to try on them... dun even have to remove my shorts at times! haha... finally decided on e $19.90 dress which we saw yest. uber coolness~ gotten e person to steam iron the dress in e packing cos it looks very crumpled but after ironing, it's so much better. LOVE my purchase absolutely =)

walked over to pacific plaza at 5.30pm to get ready for our 6pm hot yoga. this round e time was 30 over degrees celsius, so much better than yest's one. this focus more on stretching combining with breathing technique which is less tiring but there's also alot of postures that i dun think i'm very flexible in. 1 hr session was just nice. not too long, not too short. was in time to attend e next class, called Gentle yoga. it's 50% breathing and 50% stretching. quite relaxing but it's smth gd for working adults like us. the instructor taught us a gd exercise for those who face computer all e time. i think it really helps to loosen e stiffness in e neck muscles.

hmm.. this round, only bought a banana muffin at Four Leaves and ate on e spot b4 heading home for dinner (it's really nice, dunno izzit bcos i'm v hungry!). seems like i really have plenty of things to do. appraisal is coming up, so yeah.. have to find time to fill up e form~ for Jee, she has her exams to study for and it's happening on e next day somemore. only Jean is e most relaxed one for now? haha!

Meet up with e JT & e sisters + Bikram hot yoga

Saturday, November 7, 2009, 11:59 PM

Been ages since I last saw JT. Think it's from poly till now. It is 3 freaking yrs, look at how time flies! the way he talks, e rhythm and pace just makes me wanna LOL at times. when i walked, i suddenly bumped into him when we walked towards each other's direction and he made a comment, "this always happen, your pattern is still the same... haha, some things never change." yeah, indeed!

We were meeting up for my cousin's pre-wedding discussion. It's the 1st trial rehearsal for e emcees as well as meeting up with the sisters to discuss further on the door games. I only liaise with Suri on msn and only added her to FB just a day b4 e meet up. I've not seen them before and have absolutely no idea how they look like. We were standing them waiting for them and i was just looking ard for any grp of 3s. so difficult to spot them when everyone seems to look like them - young, sporty, around my age... blah blah.. haha.. how to tell? When we were talking and not aware of e surrounding, the 3 of them appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of us waving frantically. Guess adding Suri in my fb doesn't help much bcos she looks rather different from the pics she has in there. =P

We met up at Hougang Mall and they being the "di tou snake" knows e place much better than us. They led the way to Subway since McDonalds and KFC were fully packed. We were like meeting up for some project discussion. hmm.. e gals are really friendly. we dun really need much time to warm up. started with the emcees rehearsals after all of us gotten our drinks. it's good to meet and discuss bcos from e script, after numerous of editing, it may seem perfect but it's not that case. they practised and found that there were still editing to be done. when i saw Suri's script with hanyu pinyin on top of the chinese wordings, i was curious if it's for easy reading purpose.. then only did i found out that she studied Malay back in sch and cannot recognise Chinese words at all. One wouldn't be able to tell bcos her pronunciation is really amazingly great. really look up to her!

As for the door games, Liping, Xueli and I started through our rough plans as the emcees started practising away. haha.. i think the sisters are really gd. they improvised on my initial ideas and came up with more. there's a really lame game involve which I hope e brothers will be ON enough to play, followed by sandwiches for the brothers to eat (guess what's going to be in it), a song that we are gg to make my cousin sing (only slight modification to the name), then we're gg to prepare some very 'nice' drinks for them. last but not least, the love contract that we are coming up with. Xueli was suggesting that we can punch holes so that they can hang the contract. we had a gd laugh when I told them that I think they are up to smth like making e groom wear it around his neck.. but she's actually saying that e couple can hang it in their room next time. They were asking if i really 'hate' my cousin so much. Haha! my cousin and biao sao came later to join us to further discuss b4 we finally left them at 3 plus. JT accompanied me to have late lunch at abt 4pm which was a mistake. *found out more later.

*nice nice* everything shd be set according to how I want things to be. e only thing is that I might look very tired on e wedding day itself cos i'm gg to wake up at 5am so that I can reach my biao sao's hse at 5.30am to have hers and my make up done at her hse. haha.. Nelson, e photographer and also e other videographer cannot be spared as well.

*********************************

Went to Bikram Hot Yoga session with Jee and Jean! Compared to the 1st time i went for hot yoga, this one is alot more tiring. i was either sitting or lying down on the mat while the class was going on. must be e coke that's acting up, feeling slightly nauseous. *e yoga started at 5pm and i was still having my Long John Silver's chicken wrap, fries and coke at 4pm. was advised not to eat 2-3 hrs before e class but i never listen. Not only I was too worn out for this session, both my frens were equally tired! There's 26 postures in all just like e previous one I went but this round, I was already sweating profusely during e 1st posture! I can feel e sweat dripping from my arm downwards and my workout gear was totally wet. 0.o very kaowei to be staying in e same clothing after e class cos e staff has to brief Jean more on e package.. aiyoz.. we paid $20 deposit that time, but now she has to pay $50 cos e staff has given us e lower rate in error. hmm.. looks like Jean will have to fully utilise e $ if she is not gg to sign up for e 1yr membership.

On e lighter note, I seem to have found my white dress that fits me well! hahahaha... i've been changing in and out of my button-up tube and jeans and even shoes just to try on 3-4 dresses if i'm not wrong. tiring!! we only have so little time and gotta have dinner as well. we had a quick one Subway. couldn't decide which one to get after trying on e 1st lacy dress that looks rather nice on me but it cost ard $49.90, which makes me feel like trying out another one, hoping it will be cheaper and looks better on me. found another shop that sells nice tube dress with a flower ribbon in front, in e same shop lies another white satin dress $19.90 which cannot be tried on. cannot take e risk.. so have to give it a miss. went to the last shop of e day and tadah! we saw e same satin dress that cost $29.90 here and it can be tried on! WOWWWW! happy! tried on and it's not too bad! only thing is that i shd have worn a push-up bra instead. hmm.. no hurry to get it since i'm coming for another yoga session e next day and we can come to Far East Plaza again. =))

it's a tiring, busy & fun day! was so tired but still took bus 124 with the gals and who knows it jammed all e way from lucky plaza till dhoby ghaut.. wtf~ i was tired but can't fall aslp on e bus and e guy in e last row sitting in e middle cannot be 'automatic' to shift inside, so that i can sit with my frens. toopidddd lahs~ anyway, finally reached Chinatown and i alighted when e door opened 50m before e bus stop. i had to walk over to e bus stop... and while sitting down, I saw e bus driver standing up and was quarreling with a commuter. Jee they all were inside e bus looking very curious to see what's going on. i was equally curious too so much so that i rang Jee up to find out more. lol.. anyway, was too tired to wait for e bus and decided to hop on an available cab. i have little cash on hand and who knows e nets machine was spoilt! just my luck... haha.. e driver suggested to send me to e nearest atm at some petrol stn near my hse but i tot it would be better to ask my mom to come down with e $ instead. i have 10 bucks with me and it was just enough for my cab fare. my mom didn't even spot my cab coming in and was still standing at e block downstairs to wait for me. after getting down e cab, i walked to her quickly and said, heng... it's only $8.40! who knows there's a voice behind me who repeated e words "$8.40", scared e hell of me lor!! it's my biao sao and my cousin was behind me too. they intended to pass to me their wedding photos by going to my hse. wad a coincidence! =)

tmro is another long day! =D

just a call...

Tuesday, November 3, 2009, 10:59 PM

this morning received a call.

e familiar voice, e same old feeling;

but things are no longer e same.

how far can e conversation go?

i tried to stay nonchalant.

there's already a line to be drawn between us.

i can't even cross that line anymore.

so what if his conversations include

lame things like me pretending to be his ****

to get some staff discount,

he might find it funny,

but i'm feeling sick abt it.

I dun wish to say e truth but e truth is that

i wish things would have been e same.

current's mindset is that i really dun understand

what's e point of keeping in contact?

in e 1st place, i dun even believe that

a platonic friendship would exist.

e interaction or need for each other

already cease long ago,

it's been a one-sided thingy most of e time.

i just find that the conversations we have

are becoming more and more superficial.

seriously speaking,

who needs this?!

"so long didn't hear from u,

wondering how are u doing?

... i'm still e same,

busy working, no time, no life..."

didn't he told me earlier before?

"we are still v gd frens,

when u need me,

come and look for me,

i'll be around."

but i find that we're more of strangers

and if i'm holding on to the previous words

and i'm e only one looking for him,

when i face any challenges,

then how abt him?

did he ever look for me to tell me anything?

i doubt he need me as a fren in e 1st place.

it's only when he has ample time on hand,

waiting for bus like he claimed

after sending his bike for servicing,

he would rem that he has my no.

and decided to call me.

well... i think it's absolutely fake.

how abt another stupid qn asked?

"when are we going to have lunch?"

wth? u know we aren't gg to do that

anymore and u still ask.

*give up*

Clean & Green Event

Sunday, November 1, 2009, 11:59 PM

When pple says that Singaporeans are very KIASU, how much do u agree with that? i dun think i've seen many real-life examples. maybe at most I can recall is when we take train, there'll be pple squeezing and pushing in all e way from behind. how abt e long hello kitty queue when pple know that it's limited edition and it's affordable? perhaps the other examples are not significant enough for me to rem.

Today, i've seen it for myself and there's no other word more suitable than this! There's a lucky draw towards the end of e event. Before giving out the lucky draw prizes, some games were played where volunteers were called upon e stage and they could walk away with great prizes. That one still not so bad. It's only when it's quizzes time! True/False qns, u will get some Philip vouchers (can't rem e figure) and u are supposed to raise up your hand if u know e ans and wait to be called by the host. WHO knows... e host haven't even complete e qn, already there's 4 to 5 pple running to the front of the stage and attempting to climb up e steps. There's an auntie who was more powered, she even tripped herself and fell on e stage. The host said in a humorous manner which goes smth like "cos u fell down just now, we will let u be e 1st to ans e qn". she didn't get e right ans but the audience helped her and she got it.

While giving out the 1st to 4th prizes to the lucky draw winners, something funny happened too. The lucky draw is for pple who recycle cans or pet bottles using the recycling machine. Each item can earn u a lucky draw chance. So I believe some pple have really LOTS to donate and they have collected a big stack of receipt. The no. on e receipt is very long, eg. 00103123. When e 3rd winner's no. was called out, e person took e big stack on receipt and went up e stage and still searching.. so meaning what? haven't cfm, already go up. nvm.. go up cannot see cos no. too small... called out to her frens and guess what.. u finally found e receipt and the no. was incorrect! Faints. i mean to me it's like, if it's not u, dun go up to e stage until u confirm. Some cute old folks even brought along their magnifying glasses to take a gd look at e no. haha.

Okay.. then they continued e puzzle games on stage after e lucky draw, cos there's still prizes to be given away. while e games were still going on, e host was saying we could get some jollybean/food vouchers at the table behind when we leave later. no hurry cos there's plenty of them enuff for everyone. WHO knows I heard pple heavy footsteps and when i turned behind, I could see a bunch of pple practically running for e vouchers! omg. *absolutely no comments*

Back to e event, I was quite looking fwd to it cos it's at Hort Park! Been there for e 2nd time only~ hmm..

Cyn and Jas they all bought alot of bottles and cans to recycle. I only brought a few to recycle. There's a 3 recycling machines for pple to throw in one by one in exchange for e lucky draw receipts as mentioned much earlier on. For every 3 drink cartons at e Tetra Pak booth, a notebook made from recycled paper will be given. Very nice one.

CAN! Green event was also going on - e main purpose why we were there. Jas, WX and I has been attending a few of their events already, so how can we miss this out. but then again, i am no longer so enthu, even for e 2nd event, i didn't collect their badges by participating much in their games, etc, and this time round, it's e same thing. haha.. but i'm glad that i did participate in their activities and planted a spice plant for me to take home!! will be watering it daily. there's also many other games stations available in exchange for notepads, files, pens, cardholder, etc. guess children would be most happy to be there.

Cyn was telling me that we can prepare some sandwiches for picnic during e event. Credits all goes to her - she prepared really nice seafood and tuna sandwiches, crabsticks and celery packed in another separate box. Very yummy!! I've contributed e drinks instead. haha... Jas also brought some drinks but we already finished them earlier on cos e weather was too hot.

Overall, enjoyed e day. Very relaxed after a 5 days week at work!

happy Sat!

Saturday, October 31, 2009, 11:52 PM

spent a day with Jee.

went to True Yoga to take a look

cos we didn't bring our workout gear,

so the friendly staff just bring us ard e place.

gone thru e details and all,

put in $20 deposit to secure a student plan package.

well, e choice is really up to me to decide.

monetary factor plays a big role in here.

here i am, trying to save so hard for a gd hol,

to sign up for some insurance plans;

there i am, always tempted to sign up for other stuffs.

biggest killer is facial and massage!!!

perhaps it's time to really think of what i need.

body combat, hot yoga, etc... are they really wants or needs?

all in all, I can see that Jee is really keen to take up e package,

to meet her goal in terms of promoting one's health.

for me, i've tried hot yoga elsewhere b4

so more or less, i know what it is like.

We were given a 2 wks pass to try out 3 trial classes

and we're gg to do it this coming Sat & Sun.

Since we can bring along our friends to come,

I've asked Jean to come with us and she agreed. whee~

Next, we took a bus from town to Suntec City.

MA was telling me abt the Carrefour fair,

got toys, cds and sports wear sales.

$9.90 for e yoga pants. but i couldn't find it!

i only saw those 2 for $10 pants/shorts for yoga as well

and not to my likings.

so i tot of gg inside Carrefour to take a look instead.

and tadah! i found another ultimate yoga foldover pants,

which I've tried on, it's so comfy and pretty!

i love e colour combination, it's purple at the foldover

and black for e pants itself and I dun even look skinny it in!

Best of all, it's only $7.90! gd deal!

that's all my purchase for e day but dunno why,

i felt so elated over it.

whoo~ next up! we walked over to Raffles City

and located The Soup Spoon!

Hahaha.. had 2 vouchers for a bowl of regular soup each,

that Keith and I gotten from e pink ribbon goodie bag.

normally when we utilize vouchers,

we will need to top it up with something,

but this round, it's absolutely free of charge!

u can choose from ALL the soup they have

and for those we goes there, u will know that

e regular bowl of soup's portion is relatively big

with lots of generous ingredients to go with.

We asked the staff to recommend us e soups,

and decided to get ourselves a bowl of Tokyo Chicken Stew &

Simon and Garfunkel Chicken and Mushroom Ragout respectively.

on top of that, we still need to have dinner,

so we shared a plate of roast duck wrap for $8.90.

that's all we paid for our dinner this evening. so cool!

it's Halloween! we can't be gg home so early?!

but why does it feel more like Christmas,

prolly it's bcos of e big X'mas tree at Suntec City's entrance

that made me feel that way, everyone's crowding in front of it

to snap pics awayyyy. =}

then no mood to go clubbing since we were already so tired by then,

we decided to chill out at TCC, at CityLink.

glad that Jee has e membership (*come back to this later).

Jee got herself a Green Apple Twist but they gave her Green Apple soda instead.. can be quite confusing huh.. maybe in terms of name..

but at one look, u'll know that smth is not very right when u expect something milky and smth transparent comes. lolz!

i ordered something that i tot would be safe like Fruitti Delight

cos I was abit too full by then to try smth heavy.

well well, at 1st sip was too sour for me,

but after stirring a few times, e taste was ok.

Still i tot i could have ordered other drinks

which i might like better.

Jee recommend me some mint coffee

but i nvr like taking coffee so i gave that a missed.

*Back to e membership earlier on,

she has gotten enough points to redeem

for free drinks this round or continue to

accumulate for next time if i'm not wrong.

Our dear Jee decided to make use of it

and redeem all her points,

which means we dun have to pay for e drinks.

woo~ so nice yeah!! ^^

hahaha... nice dayy spent as usual.

love u, my fren! =D

I hope I'll never deal with such person anymore but e reality is that it's inevitable. If e person happens to be ur MIL, ur boss or ur potential client, ur life will be tougher. If e person is just a walk-in customer, an acquaintance or someone whom u dun always have to work with, u can count that day itself unlucky. For this case, whatever this fella says is not substantial, all I can say is that I dun really have to bother much. a side note is that, i've done smth that i nvr tot i would do.

Woke up early this morning at 7.15am. Kinda crazy bcos i've been slping late recently. no choice but to go to bank early to verify my thumbprint for 2 giro forms for e internet/hp bill and insurance as well. one stone kills 2 birds. great! once e door was opened at 8.30am, everybody just swarm into the bank and i still thought they were just queuing outside for e atm machine. i was among the last to go in and thank God i dun have to go to the normal queue but a separate one at the counter outside and i got it done in less than 5 mins and even reached office early. very rare!

Lunch presentation by Accor Hotels and namecards were exchanged. Halfway thru e presentation, e presenter from Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel was saying that for those pple who has her initial written behind her namecard would win themselves dining vouchers at Jia Wei Chinese Restaurant, famous for its Cantonese Cuisine. Whoo~ I was one of the winners and will be getting hold of e vouchers from them soon. Thinking of bringing mummy to go. =)

Was talking to Sis and Kor. Dunno how well I was being e listener and advisor but I think both of them really needs to spend more quality time with each other and to sit down to talk thru every single issue in their life. being a married couple, there is so much more to think abt. now it's not just u and me but with a kid, it's another commitment altogether. U need to handle everything in a matured way and be responsible for all u do. the stress level is so much higher. smth that we might not be able to understand until we reach that stage in life. i still wish them best in all that they do. pls persevere! life isn't a bed of roses and i believe that with each other's support, it would be easier to go thru e problems together and coming out of them stronger.

ZZZ.... slpy!! timecheck 1.27am! shucks~~

Saw this last Fri but too lazy to upload. Vivo was having a Xbox games fair. So many pple were crowding around. I was most interested in "The Beatles Rock Band" game. Imagine playing the guitar, drum and bass set and singing along like a vocalist at home. It's so fun! I can see e children enjoying themselves. Dun even have to go arcade to play when u can enjoy this kinda entertainment at home.

Met up with my insurance advisor just now, who looks quite motherly in her 50s I think. She provided me with many informative details that I ought to know for my own policy as well as plans that I might be keen to take up. We met up at TBP and she treated me BK for dinner. Started off with casual chats. Felt comfortable and no-stress talking to her. She shared with me her recent hkg trip and I talked abt my family, work, etc. Nothing to in-depth but pretty sufficient for her to advise me some gd policies to take up given my current budget and needs. At e end of the day, I felt gd bcos I learnt more abt my current policy instead of not knowing what I'll be paying for since it's going to be trsf to be my acct shortly. I also felt like I've just attended a FOC insurance lesson. Know more abt e coverage of e life, medical and savings insurance. It's always gd to know more. In the meantime, I will need to find out what are my current policies with other insurance co. before buying more.

Sis shared smth interesting with me this noon. She said Hui Ting replied her "cleee-ver" when she praised her saying, u are such a clever gal. She has e capability to reply her and she's only like 2 mths old?! And this is not the only words she heard her say b4... she told me she also replied "okay" once. I can't rem what's e other one. But I know that she haven't say mama before. I bet Sis is waiting anxiously for that day to come!

Still thinking of e door games to block my cousin. Wondering if it's easier to talk it out when I meet up with e sisters. I dunno whether to play really stupid games like making e brothers kiss each other for 1 min or wear some bras outside or wearing some bananas over e their pants and getting e brothers to eat them. can be silly but it all depends whether are e sisters and brothers ON to play all these. Otherwise, we will stick to e slightly safer games like getting e guys to pass on seaweeds using mouth only, writing out love poem on the spot, etc. We only half an hour to play. in any case, im gonna make my cousin sing even if it's just chorus only. Was thinking of printing e lyrics of Boy Zone's "No Matter What" for him to sing aloud that day. they have hired a videographer and e morning "door clashing" games will be played during e wedding dinner, we have to make it fun. otherwise, we would have kept it simple. lolz!

gtg... zzz.

A miracle happened to the baby sling that was intended to be sold off in eBay. Was rather surprised that the staff at Kiddy Palace at Lot 1 would accept the used baby sling to be exchanged for another one. Sis bought it at another outlet in Jurong Pt and didn't even bring her receipt along. The staff was aware that the baby sling was used and washed before and it was bought just last week. The staff is really flexible! She just need Sis to provide her I/C no. at the counter and she could even exchange it for another baby sling at a lower price. There was a difference of $16 and she topped it up to get a $20 kiddy palace voucher. Wow! Isn't it wonderful?

Had a gd time with Edwina and Sis. Sis wanted to have a haircut cos of e hot and humid weather. She can't stand it, even tying up in a small pony tail doesn't help. And guess wad?! now she's having a bob hairstyle that looks so much like our dear Edwina. lolz. twin sisters or smth and i must say that the hairstyle SUITS her! i'm also sick of my not-long-not-short-fringe and i'm having bangs and have e back trimmed as well so that it'll be neater.

Cousin was kinda desperate when he found out that he couldn't surf net anymore after auto-updating his IE version to IE8. He smsed me for help but I'm no better in IT. Hence, I tried getting help from my frens online while I was outside and guess Tian Sheng gave me e best ans -uninstall IE8 and get it reinstall again and the previous setting will be restored. That's how it works for Windows XP according to him but he's not sure for Windows Vista.

Awhile ago, my cousin came to my hse with his lappie and we tried uninstalling it. Window Vista is really complicated - IE8 is not considered a program, hence u need to remove it by uninstall it's UPDATE (not program). Under control panel, there's no such thing called "add or remove" program, and u gotta go and find smth else called "programs and features". We were so glad that after uninstalling IE8 and restarting the lappie, it was back to IE7 without even reinstalling anything. It's solved. My cousin kept thanking me but I think I didn't help much, it's more of my friend's and online advices that help.

Thot that it would be a gd chance to use his lappie to test if e passion card website would have e same prob like safari browser when signing up e passion card as mentioned in previous entry. I was testing it on my pc but it failed on me. Using my cousin's lappie, it WORKS perfectly well. Yes! So glad that I've successfully signed up for e passion card & e aerobics class (every Thurs evening starting from 5 Nov till 21 Jan next yr), paying $52 in total. Thank God that I dun have to purposely make a trip down to Radin Mas cc this coming Sat! Yeah, another thing down.

Biao Sao also came over my hse just now to pass us the wedding invitation card. Had so much laughters talking to them. They have so much more to plan for their wedding. Cousin is looking into the lunch buffet catering options online. Wedding scripts more or less settled, just that e emcees will need to dry run e script one of these days. They just managed to confirm the seating plan today. My cousin is telling me that he will have 3-4 brothers. Sisters wise, my biao sao is looking for a gd time for me to meet up with them. It shd be somewhere in 2nd wk of Nov. By then, I hope I can get ready the song to make my cousin sing out loud to my biao sao and also decide on games so that we can start getting the materials. wooo~ many things to do.

Thank God for giving me such a gd wkend! <3

Yest night, in e middle of my slp, can't move at all. Suddenly felt like being tied up at my chest area and i tried to scream but no voice came out. Inside my heart, all I could do is to repeat AMEN lots of time. Pple say it's to do with e nerves but it's more like being attacked by ghost or smth! Dunno if i'm too tired or what. I experienced this twice in 5 mins. I was really scared that i have to slp next to my mom and hold her hand. I slept at 1am yest nite and managed to slp until 11am plus this morning. Not too bad.

feeling gd

Saturday, October 24, 2009, 11:59 PM

Didn't attend GenRev today but went for ear candling in e noon instead. e detox massage that comes with it makes me feel so relaxed after that. this round they are using e candles that are worth $88. compared to the 1st trial that is worth $38, it's much more effective in terms of clearing up the ear wax. money well spent. e gd news is that they are opening a new outlet in Bugis and they say I can go there next mth, yay! =)

Met Cyn @ 3pm at ECP for our cycling session. e timing and weather is superbly gd! God is gd. i just have to declare that. i wouldn't trade e gd day spent with nua-ing at home. this whole week was a dread and finally i can spent a day with my gd fren. Cyn brought me to the shore near Safra Resort National Service and we started picking really small seashells. We collected some and put them into e mineral water bottle with only 1/6 filled. Love e pearl-like seashells that we picked. The spectrum colours that reflects when e sun shone on them. So pretty! 2 hrs of cycling is indeed a gd exercise. When it comes to the up-slope, i could tell that we both are super lack in exercising bcos of our poor stamina. Thighs just aches using too much force and panting while talking at e same time. most prolly we are gg to have another cycling session soon. ice-skating/roller-blading to come one day. haha.. roller-blading is not my forte definitely. o.O

"You're worth so much more than this." This is 2nd time that I'm given this message from my dear fren. Sometimes we are just too obsessed with getting to know e ans. I wish I can just kill e cat in me. If we have so many doubts when it comes to a person, a guy, a bf, e security is no longer there. Since that's e case, why do we still want to ask e person anything when we can't even trust e person in e 1st place? Like how Ed told me abt her case, I can understand exactly where she's coming from. Even e most independent and logical person can be blinded by love or let emotions overrule their logical thoughts. In her, I see myself like a mirror and I can tell her straightaway what she shd do just like a counsellor, so why can't I apply this to myself? I know I can do it for sure!

I find that it's a joy to be with pple whom I can relate to. It's always such a peace to be hanging out with the right person at the right time. It's God's work which I believe so. U just can't get enough of the goodness that's being given.

Would like to mention that it's also a joy to be remembered by frens. Eg. few days ago, Steph specially smsed me to tell me that she has put in my name under her wedding dinner's seating plan listing and thought i might nt be able to attend it due to crashing with my holiday trip next yr. i assured her that it's not the case and would gladly love to attend. it's a sweet feeling to have gd frens who really treats u as a true fren even thou u guys seldom meet up or really contact much. <3

Had gd food today too! Hokkaido Corn Ramen @ Ajisen and shared e side dishes, California Maki and Crab Croquette, with Cyn. Later on, we went to Dome to have drinks (latte for her and mango smoothie for myself) and shared e blueberry brownie cheesecake. Very NICE!! not sinful hahaha. The ambience of e cafe or rather e setting makes us feel like we were in some western ctry. so cool! And I love e new pair of white sandals that I've gotten for my cousin's wedding. U.P is $59.90 and i'm only getting it for $19.90. Love e blings that comes with it but e heel is a little high given that i have to run about in e day time but heck. so long as it's pretty, everything is worth it. thinking of doing DIY pedicure since it's open-toe. personally feel that it wouldn't look nice without any nail polish to go with. haha.. super vain as usual.

passion card still can't sign up. ah mei concert tix still on hold. still no news on ebay for e baby sling item that i'm selling. giro application for my singtel/singnet bills are not done. dental appt is not fixed. Soup spoon vouchers are not utilised (last day is on 31st Oct). hoping all these can be done by next wk.

It's a beautiful day. Thank you Lord for every gd thing that has happened in my life. Amen =)

not smooth!!

, 12:32 AM

contacted my insurance agent on an impulsive mood. it's like i dunno who on earth is my advisor and i just called e insurance co's hotline to enquire on it. after which just wanna call my advisor to change to my bank acct to deduct the ins premium. who knows she's gonna meet up with me to review on my policy. it's gonna happen next wk. i pray hard it won't be too complicate and i dun end up signing more policies with her man. i just want to know where my money lies and not dumping $ everywhere.

wanna sign up for e passion card but stupid thing is that i can't do it online. there's required field that is grey off even when i attempt to type in the box but there's nth at all. tried Safari, Firefox, Camino and D also tried IE for me on mac, all failed! only 1 conclusion, e webbie has a prob OR only windows is able to read the form. urghhhh.. just wanna do it and it's stuck again.

wanna sign up for e aerobics class with Jean but it can only be done after i get e passion card registered since there's gonna be disc straightaway off e bill. so i'm stuck AGAIN~

just gotten e script from my biao sao and my dear fren is vetting thru it. looks like there's gonna be some amendments made to e script cos e English version is more of directly translating from the Chinese version, which doesn't sound too smooth. lol.. hope my fren can liaise with my biao sao via email directly and get it iron out.

just wanna be more focus on my work, meeting up with pple, enjoying life, throwing abt emptiness in my dictionary and have time for myself doing things i like and still have enough rest!

urghhhhhhzzzzzzzzzz.... NEED A GD GD SLP!
