THE GRUMPY GIRL . I BITE. :)

Playing with ben's siblings' hamsters, "kit & kat?", while waiting for ryan to come over last friday night. Tortured the hamster that was still awake (the suay hamster) in the middle of the night, trapped it in the ball and let it spin around. HAHA SPIN! So bored, and so damn evil.

And i need to complain. THE WEEKENDS R WAY TOO SHORT man.

And totally totally suckballs when there r gonna b 2 assignments due very soon.

I was way happier last time, really! pfft ;(

NVM. =!

Blog about something happier, a simple JOY = A PINK Hello Kitty Jewellery Box!

My forever joy -> Ice Cream! This was at Sunset way Daily Scoopz. (look so toot here! but happy!)

Last night also met up with Felicia and the primary school gang! They are my FRIENDS FOR MORE THAN A DECADE! And i really really treasure this friendship. Dinner at Holiday Inn Orchard. Then 2am desert bar at HV. The chef also treated us to her new creation MOTHBALLS! We all heard wrongly, its supposed to be MALTBALLS. Those r awesome balls, that squirt Holicks when u bite em. It has some Pop Rocks in em too! ENJOI!

And lastly congrats to my bf on getting his first job! All the best BENJAMIN TANGGG! ;)

PhotoShoot at RoofTop!

I went on a mission to search for d best location to take a nice view of TPY town. With the photographer and team, we went up to the rooftop of 2 hdb blocks and to a condo at balestier. At the 40th floor, the view is simply breathtaking! Cant help but take some photos of myself too, though i was specky, sticky and sweaty. Never get another chance like that!

Oooo-my -gawd. It's Monday again!

Last weekend was good as usual.

Friday! Ben picked me up then we went to eat fish bee hoon at bukit timah. Eat eat halfway, then realised forgot to put coupon! LOL! So i continued to eat, while he went back to the carpark to put the stupid coupon. It started to rain jus as we finished dinner. Good timing! I was uber sleepy that night and grumpy too. Then ben still wanted his kopi. But in the end, i was the one who ordered a bowl of nood and a drink to share.

Saturday! Went to Vivo with ben and henry to watch Terminator. Then chilled out at Prive, i like that place! Had some matchstick fries, cakes, tea, affogato and OJ. Headed home wit ben then we went driving randomly then homed! That night, my cousin R.Ho. also upset wit me cos i nv ask him out tog.

Sunday! To tamp to sign some stuff then went to my cousin's place at Chilton Park for buffet. Ben's family (!!!) came to pick me then we went home for dinner. I told my mom that his whole fam picking me up and she went like " u so tua pai ah". (!!!) After dinner at home, me, ben and sean (ben's cuzzie, ben got many cuzzies) played with "droopy" heh. I feed her chocolates and we made her blurt out the word of D day "Cho-co-late!". Happy rite! I drove ben home (my home) then he drove home (his home).

That's ALL for my weekend. Now back to SLOG.

(i woke up with a sorethroat n whr is my watch?! shucks)

2009-06-11T11:43:00.004+08:00

Thursdays are happy days because ...........tomorrow is Friday!

Past few weeks zoomed by and i have lots to update. Just didnt have the time to pen them down.

Just yesterday, my team, the youthful girls of HDB *ahem*, performed our own creative version of the 2010 Rap. Very embarrassing but glad it was over! We sang to the "Home" tune and did a school cheer which went "North South East West Who's D Best!" And i honestly think we did well considering we only have 5 members. We perfomed with simple basic instruments, our beauutiful voices and tamberins from NDP. No frills, just us. The practice sessions were a great bonding session for us too=)

And last night, i got my very 1st assignment from IPRS on Crisis Comm. Luckily i have Eve and Olivia to attend the classes with. If not, i think i surely pontang alot.

We also celebrated Junne's bdae on 30th May. Went to Hakata for Jap food then to Butter Factory. That night was baddd. I got tipsy and started puking over ben's neighbours plants. Smart ben made us stop few houses b4 his. Haha. Help fertilise other pple's plants. I could see i was puking Cedele cake! In fact, its the FIRST time i ever puked after drinking! Everything was blurry, showered and all, then fell asleep. Ben woke up with a bad throat.

Then just last week, we were both sickies. Ben was really really ill! Had to put a cold tower over his head!

Now im going out for a lunch appointment....................

Dimsum At imperial treasure with ben n fam.

It will be the very first time i tread out of TPY & Novena for lunch. Cool beans!

I eat, I eat.

BUSY LIKE A BEE

Rants rants rants ... ...

Me- time is becoming increasingly precious. Me time for TV (AI!), nua-ing, STAR-DEE-ING (im writing like a teen bopper), sleeping!

Time spent with family and close frens r becoming really precious too.

Work's been busy lah !!!

I havent watched a movie for a month now.

I havent attended CG for the longest time, glad i still meet my church frens for golf.

I havent started my exercise regime.

May's an eventful month. Bdae celebrations coming up, with much planning to do and gift-shopping.

So many things to do, and so little time.

On a happier note, Ben's coming back, hopefully with my tokyo bananas!

HOKKAIDO DAY 1 & 2

Yippee! Blogging from Hilton Niseko Village now! Its midnight here!

Travelled alot today on bus. Changed airports from Narita to Haneda and finally to Chitose where Hokkaido is.

Went to see the Shaori Anu Village and learnt about the Jap Aboriginal way of life. Not exactly interested.

And then headed to the Hell Valley, non active volcano. Sulphur smell is super strong there.

Best thing today is the hotel stay at Hilton, the buffet with snow crabs and ONSEN HOT SPRING. Must go naked. Super shy luh. I went both indoors and outdoors. The outdoor hot spring is damn cool. 42degs. Feeling so good now!

OOh. And i see snow here!

Leftovers. Ahhaha.

16 Again

NOT. <(

Today i brought a group of Sec 4 students on a Learning Journey to the Gallery. They were a vibrant group, so full of zest and youth!

Oh My! Look at me. Im a 25-yr-old OL, rolling my eyes constantly when the kids screamed their heads off when they were playing an animated game.

What a bore! Im so totally not thrilled these days....

Where were the days i used to luff so crazily, till i hyper ventilate and get stomach cramps?! Whr whr whr!?!?!

*slaps myself*

I needa hop ard like a bunny!

Anyhow, my colleague's giving me 3 bunnies! Dwaft netherlands cute bunnies, 2 F and 1 M! Havent gotten them but me n ben decided to name male bunny BEN10! Ben's sis olivia and cousin may take the other 2 bunnies. They're gonna b so tiny and cute.. only 6 inches max (size of the palm).

LOOK!

Presenting the real Ben10 in NYC! nyahahahah (dont kill me 4 posting tiss hun!)

Sigh sigh sigh! But i guess i wont have the time to take care of the bunny. Have enrolled myself in a 3 month long Profession Cert in PR & Mass Com, sponsored by the company. Final exam's will b on 27th July!! Twice a week. SIAN-NESS!!!

See! Being a OL is no good , no good at all.

Good night!

EY? IS IT EVER too BIG?

The common topic from yesterday's dinner to lunch today:

Marriage and Carat Talks

I cringe at the every thought that most frens of my age are all talking about Marriage. Not like its a bad thing. I feel happy for them. Even went with my colleague who was looking to buy a flat to get some brochures (really jus out of curiousity). But the thought of the responsibilities that comes with it? Puts me off abit.

First off, purchasing a home will leave you in debt for the longest time. Not to mention wedding preparations, typical chinese wedding dinners that might cost a bomb, wedding packages for photoshoots & gowns etc. I see money signs staring at me already. $_$

Recently, the spark emitting from my colleague's humongous diamond ring caught my eye. It looked oversized for her fingers, i thought. I asked if it's a Carat. She replied it was a 1.5 carat. Wow, i exclaimed and the contented smile on her face was priceless. But in my heart, i was thinking.. Wah, this guy siao ah?

The engagement ring should always be worn with pride and joy, bearing in mind the varrying expectations of the diamond size. As a rule of thumb, a fren of mine told me that she read from articles that the engagement ring should be 2-3 times the salary of the guy!!

Har seriously?? I was stunned that people even came up with such a logic to illustrate love.

But if its too small (again subjected to expectations), we may even ask "r we not worth it?" and then start whining that you know, marriage is a ONCE in a lifetime affair leh.

As you may not know already, i love diamonds. I think they are classy and evergreen, best comes with a cert for investment sake.

But my expectations? No comments. Haha

Most importantlY, im happy im not a guy!!!

And definitely no, the size of the diamond doesnt equate his love.

XOXO

Look Into My Heart

Febuary days; Daddy's bdae, 15th day of CNY, Orientation Part I, Orientation Part II @ Pulau Ubin & V-day.

The last day of CNY, my family went to HK Street @ Katong, near my sec sch. And i "Lou-hei-ed" the final time of 09. Sometimes it scares me that i already turning 25 (mid twenties wth!) this year. Somehow, im still not matured enough in many ways!!

I also attended Orientation (Part I) the past 3 days. And goin to Pulau Ubin OBS for the very first time! ! !

With so much hype over Ben Button, i also mus go watch that 3hr show rite and with ben10, who survived the movie w/o falling asleep! haha! I didnt think it was a really good one, found it quite ridiculous in fact. Like wad happened to the man who created the reverse clock? and how related was ben button to him? OK la, but quite touching, makes u think of growing old, being weak, vulnerable and saddest of all, senile. This movie reminded me of The Notebook, which i cried buckets. :(

Tmr we're going Au Petite!

++ And I finally got proper namecards with company logo! Want my namecard? :p

2009-02-02T12:14:00.002+08:00

Randoms (bcos i dun feel like working...& waiting for lunchtime ;p)

My daddy's so wunderfulll becos he always drives me around! AHAHAHA! Im sure he is glad to have such a lazeeee daughter like me!

I watched "Bride Wars" with ben10 last nite. Its a good movie, very funny compared to "Wedding Game". We almost fell aslp. Felt stupid actually watching it. And Oh Kate hudson is awesome. Her hair's so prettyy!

I lovelovelove NE YO "MAD"! My current replay song!

Tonite we'r going to Jumbo for crabs wit andreaaa, ryan, ben10, roger n gf.

I noe it all makes no senseee.. ahahaha. im jus feelin a lil hyper from i dunoe wot. yeaps TA! :)

2009-02-02T10:53:00.002+08:00

~my January~

Jan's been eventful & overly-indulgent!!

Was jus looking back at my calendar. Im stunned with how much i've been going out and the food i've been eating! I need some balance in my life right now. More exercise, for sure.

1) Korean BBQ @ suntec
2) Jap BBQ wit ben10, junne & bennie
3) Garuda @ vivo, Timbre @ old skool and then stayed at Sentosa The Azure
4) Dimsum Li Bai Sheraton
5) Poker Pjs Potluck Party @ Ritz Carlton wit Churchies
6) Massage at Marina Sq
7) Aerin's at Raffles City wit pei & sharon
8) Morton's steakhouse wit ben10, ryan, andrea and henry
9) Relish at Cluny Court for pinky's bdae and then St. James

And besides all these, there's still the CNY period.

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

2009-01-29T11:12:00.001+08:00

My heart sank, for a moment. :(

2009-01-14T14:33:00.002+08:00

Of what am i afraid.

Impossible as it may be, I desire for perfect certainty. And sometimes when things get out of my control, i fret.

Im afraid becos its not how i'd like it to be.

Im afraid its just not good enuff.

Sigh.~

2009-01-13T15:55:00.003+08:00

A Fine Frenzy.

you picked me

'like an apple on a tree hiding out behind the leaves
I was difficult to reach
but you picked me

like a shell upon a beach just another pretty piece
I was difficult to see
but you picked me, yeah you picked me

and all I can say
is you blow me away"

lifesize

we smiled so bright the sun went down
rose above the maddening crowd
we lit the streets with the sweetest glow
we held the globe and made it turn
wandered through the universe
the men of science observed through telescopes

all for love, we become
larger than lifesize, wondersome
great in the eyes of someone
larger than lifesize we become,
great in the eyes of someone

January 2009

2009-01-08T14:52:00.003+08:00

WOWWEEE! Its a brand NEW year. And Happy 2009!!

New working life

Im stealing a couple of mins off work to update my blog. Just had a meeting and so i guess can take a breather ya? Haha. Into the 2nd month of my new PR job now. And finally after the one relaxing month of being a newbie, workload is increasing and stress is kicking in!

There are alot of new stuff to learn and i have been bugging all the senior staff here. Surely hope they dont tink im an irritating newbie. I have a pretty mentor here too, Daphne. And a really young DD. Really hope i can get the hang of things and blend into the work culture soon!

My new colleagues been friendly. Besides, I have 2 great lunch khakis now too, Evelyn and Olivia. At times, all the new & young gals from other units will lunch together too. That of cos include my 1st fren whom i got to know during interview times, Serene.

And then the camwhoring starts.. Haha. Here's a collage of me and Evelynn on NYE.

What i did on 31-12-08 NYE??

Gav invited us over to his place @ Icon for some Awfully Choc (which i asked him to get =p) and some finger food. We had ben & jerry's, played a few rounds of WII mario superkart, very competitive tennis games, boxing and bowling. BT was with me too. So at around 11ish, we left to make our way to THE SAIL, to catch the fireworks at Marina Bay wit my dear cousin!

Well, ICON and THE SAIL could have been a 10 mins walk away, BUT becos we are lazee pple, we decided to take a cab. HENCE, we ended up stuck in a jam along Lao Pa Sat, and compensated the taxi uncle extra money to get off, and walked to THE SAIL. The final amount we paid was 16 freaking bucks, from tanjong pagar to one raffles quay. When we finally got there, we couldnt reach MR R HO, becos the network was all jammed up. Ok, im not complaining becos we still managed to get there in time to catch the 8 mins? fireworks, from the lobby of THE SAIL. Wasnt too crowded also, so quite enjoi.

The last day of the year was a memorable one indeed. A pic of the spectacular fireworks at Marina Bay :)

BBQ @ Costa Sands 27 Dec 08.

A picture wit the gals. Me and my fav, alot of honey coated crabstick!

And lastly, new year resolutions 09:

2008 was quite an eventful year for me and generally a happy year. A new house, a new job and many other momentous occasions. =D

2009 resolutions:

1) To be able to drive out alone, without having my dad nagging beside me!

2) Excel in my new job so i can be made a perm staff

3) Execise more, eat healthily

... and To make the best of each day!

2008-12-26T10:04:00.008+08:00

**flower girls, pretty in pink!**

*wit pei, same dress!*

**all in white, recepts/ushers**

EAT , BE MERRY & FEEL ROTUND! *boo hoo*

Seems like im not watching my weight and what i eat again. Well, was never the determined sort! Haha. My weekend was great, lotsa food as usual. List of food, lo & behold!

-Friday-

1) SHASHILIK (very old restaurant, can tell from the waiters age, apparently 77 years old uncle)

My lil cuzzie, who refused the very nice Sun & Moon jap food, brought us to this dodgy place at Far East shopping centre for steak. Tried the carpet bag steak which has some stuffings of mushrooms & oysters. Not bad at all!

Shared a very special dessert, Baked Alaska. They basically light up the whole cake. Strong liquer taste.

2) HK CAFE

After a heavy dinner, still not satisfied, so mus eat Deserts.

Then we watched Body Of Lies, which i fell asleep abit. =o

-Sat-

Helped out at Shuling & Daniel's church wedding! I was part of the 'task-force' so went early to Shuling's place to prepare! The groom had to eat the disgusting bittergourd drink mixed in coffee + Wasabi, strawberry biscuits =p Wasnt my idea though! And they really liked the guestbk we did for them!

3) INDOCHINE

Later at night, some churchies met up and we went to chill. Had some drinks and fingerfood. The live band there was pretty good. We joked and talked about random stuff. We were also planning an upcoming partayyy, which im really excited! THE PPP !!!

4) SWENSENS

And ard 1am, i suggested that we all go Swensens for ice-cream, where i gladly ate a sticky chewy choc sundae, without any sense of guilt. HAPPINESS! Becos, the rest of them also ate. Get fat together! =D

-Sun-

5) LI BAI, SHERATON

Although im kinda dead beat from the late night, got nice dimsum, surely cant miss rite? Besides the dim sum, the soup noodles really gooddd! Deserts, i tried the mudpie and mango pudding. OH SO YUMMY. SO very FULL!

After lunch, went for car ride to Sentosa Cove. The whole estate feels very south perth to me. Went to see the aunties' place at Azzure. The condo is very resort style facing the Sea. The view is gorgeous, jus beautiful! Seafront livinggg!

Chill abit at ryan's house, sing songs, gahssipss, and then its another fam dinner.

6) SEAFOOD, East Coast

Still feeling full from lunch, but i still eat anyway. Haha. Chilli crabs......

7) CHEESECAKE CAFE

After dinner, we were discussing wad to have for deserts. Decided on 6 assorted cheesecake flavors. Enjoii ~

And tonite, Orchard Parade hotel. Attending my very first, fren's wedding tonite wit the rest of the churchies.

Im a SUPER GLUTTON, always hungry!

Officially Jobless

Hoorrayy! Only for a day though, yes, pathetic. :) Took a while thinking how i'd spend this 'non-working' day. I really want this to be the Perfect 'non-working' day.

I'm really someone who lovess to make BIG plans (ambitious ones too). I try to squeeze in many activities in a day or meet as many frens i cld. Hmm but why not? Since time is so precious. But somehow, i've learnt to take things at a slower pace and to enjoy quality time, than to rush thr' things.

Funny few days ago, i was making big plans like perhaps go out to the gym, go swim, go do pedi, hava nice lunch, catchup wit frens over tea and mayb shop a lil, all in a day. But when i woke up this morning, i thought it'd b jus great if i were to stay home all day, take a good rest and do my fav @ home thing- watch dvds. So today shall be a nice & less hectic day. Hav a relaxing facial planned up and dinner appointment.

I just had my big breakfast and watched a romantic movie that warms my heart & it made me cry! The Waitress. Been meaning to catch this show, but it was always rented out. The concept of this show revolves around baking delicious pies of all sorts. And the cutest thing, customised pies to suit how ya feeling! This is definitely another movie ill watch another time! And i love this pie song.

This song is sweet and simple, touches my heart.

When the world is gray and bleak
Baby don't you cry
I will give you every bit of love that is in my heart
I will bake it up… into a simple little pie

Baby don't you cry gonna make a pie
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle
Baby don’t be blue
Gonna make for you
Gonna make a pie with a heart in the middle

Gonna be a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love
Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie
Hold you forever in the middle of my heart.

Baby heres the sun
Baby heres the sky
Baby I’m the light and I’m your shelter
Baby you are mine
I could freeze the time
Keep you in my kitchen with me forever

Gonna be a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with strawberry love
Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie
Hold you forever in the middle of my heart.

Gonna bake a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with butterscotch love
Gonna be a pie from the heaven above
Gonna be filled with banana cream love
Baby don’t you cry
Gonna make a pie
Hold you forever x 2
Hold you forever in the middle of my heart

Alrity, back to my romantic-comedy-dvd-marathon.. 'No Reservations'. Ahaa, it all revolves around FOOD!

2008-11-19T16:01:00.005+08:00

It's raining heavily! I jus love lovee rainy weather. Its cold and i wish i can hibernate all day long! Here i am now all comfy, sipping a cup of hot choc, keepin warm in a hoodie, blogging! I wonder hows that gonna b at my new workplace.. hmm. Just a couple more workin days b4 i officially say bye bye to mcys, which i would definitely miss. Still have some work to finish off and handover. But abit lazy (as usual).

Back from HK a couple of days ago, with body aching from long hours of walking. On the plane, the oh-so-boring me, had to repeat watchin movies i alr watched b4. Switching between The Dark Knight, Mamamia and SATC. I realise i have this tendency to enjoy watching old movies over again, eat the same kind of food repeatedly.. mayb i jus dun like trying new stuff and prefer the "comfort zone". So totally not adventurous! Andthe emo crap mus hav gotten into me, that i teared watching SATC & Mamamia!!

Everyday in Hk, i wake up at 10ish, get ready for lunch, and then its shopping all the way till 10pm. An average of 9 hrs of walking, fishing for SALES, becos Hk is full of branded stuff that is so exp, that i'd only buy if its a good deal. And lucky me, bought 2 items tis trip that i thought were a real steal !!! A fendi watch fr Sogo, with diamonds, pearl face for 60% off! Unbelievable yah!!?!

And made a pair of Fendi plastic framed specs. Since when did i start having all these fendi items! All the branded frames fr gucci, miu miu, prada were super cheap! If i go back to Hk next yr, i'd surely go get more! Also met up with Shara, my cousin who was on exchange in HK uni. We did shopping at Central, H&M. Hang ard streets of TST, Harbourcity, Whampoa, Central & Causeway bay most of the time. Didnt get muchie clothes tis time round, cus the shops mainly sell the winter stuff. Got a new hot pink skin for my white iphone for only 4sgd! Besides the usual dim sum, roasted meat & noodles, had steamboat which was pretty good. Huge servings and had wagyu beef slices, and hua diao jiu chicken. Very deliciousss. So fat now lah. Sian-ness.

I jus feel so dead tday, not v hungry too.

Last nite i saw a dead kitten by the road. I wasnt sure it was dead initially, hence out of morbid curiousity, i went closer n closer, it wasnt moving! *wails*

Catching Ma-da-gas-car later, hope its a good one, so i can luff out loud (LOL)!

2008-11-12T15:41:00.003+08:00

And before i forget....

The Kukup Trip (Oct 4 &5)

A memorable and fun trip where we had to 'babysit' blurrr jason and correct him for the umpteenth time that Kukup isnt pronounced as 'ku-karp'. :)

The one night stay at Kukup was better than i expected! Food was good, had a few meals at the seafood restaurant, and had the owners of the 'chalet' come cook for us when we were playing MJ in the late afternoon plus bbq for us one evening! The place was relatively clean, has air-con, home ktv system, and a few mj tables! The village also sells old skool stuff like Old Maid playing cards and Pop Pop. There were mudskippers everyywheerreee! We tried to 'disturb' them by splashing water & throwin poppop. Heheheh we oso played Fireworks!

The best thing was definitely the company! Going on a one-day trip with my blfs, all those stupid jokes, luffing out loud and teasing each other was price-less! Wouldnt mind going again, since its only about 2 hours of bumpyy ride away .. and futhermore, its only $80!

Loves=))

The erratic weather !!!

Sigh. The sudden downpour left me totally drenched this morning on the way to work. *sneezes* I had no umbrella, so i used my bag to cover. I stood helplessly at the traffic junction, under the heavy rain. Sobz. I waited there for the longest time for the stupid traffic light to turn green! Oh come on! Thank goodness a kind soul offered to share his umbrella. He must have pitied me lolz. By then, i was alr cursing and swearing, my pants and top all wet. SUX!

The Work-Out Week

Last week, i played 2 hrs of tennis, 2hr of badminton, i jogged and went to the gym twice!
Impressed?! *pats myself on the shoulder*

A hardworking me.

No choice seriously, desperate times call for desperate measures.

Played with pinky, derick and lynn. They are good influence, i likee!!! They made me feel like wanting to exercise more!

Fly away~ Hongkong

To hk, to hk, to shop, eat, relax. Looking forward to H&M! A little break before 1 Dec.

While i couldnt stop grumbling over the fact i could not get wad i want, (which is to slack for a month!), im quite lucky in a way i got the job and it was definitely a timely one.

=)

2008-11-04T17:16:00.003+08:00

Many things have been happening lately which leaves me with less time to pen down all my thoughts.

Im settling in really well in my new house. Sleeping better now, after much complaints that i "down-graded" to a much smaller bed. My little pillows always end up on the floor in the mornings. And sleeping better now means, higher chances of being late for work!

Chanced upon some great poems of Kahlil Gibran...

On Time

"But if in your thought you must measure time into seasons, let each season encircle all the other seasons, And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing."

On Love

"Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."

On Reason & Passion

"For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction. Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing; And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes."

Very meaningful quotes there.. hmm.

2008-11-03T17:41:00.003+08:00

Been wanting to tell my colleague about this quiet and pretty place, but kept forgetting the name of it.

The place's called Marina South Pier!

Was there once a couple of months ago with ss. Hard to find such places here already. If i didnt remember wrongly, there were only like a few of us at the viewing deck. Its a nice place to jus relax, lie down, star gaze, and enjoy the quietness and the sea breeze.

Parenthood Puppet Show!

Family Is Important (FII)!

This is my first time watching a Live Puppet Show. I watched this special preview puppet show yesterday, put together by my dear colleagues, on the Starfari Family. They are colouful characters from outer space, promoting the importance of Family. We watched it in the company of cutee kiddies! These pre-school kids were really excited about the whole show, they chuckled with glee at the puppet performances.

This cutey pie here is Joelle aka, Chipmunk! teheehee ST's daughter. She's the first kiddo to be at the puppet show! Isnt she adorableeee?? I like playing with her. Force her to call me "jie jie" MUHAHAHAHA Not auntie okayy. :p

This bluey monster, who likes to do the "star jump" action is FII. Kids love this guy/ger. Dunoe luh, this mascot.

In the midst of the show and in the presence of soo many cutee little ones, i spotted this special SUPER CUTIEE. I tried to talk to him and asked for his name. He is Lucas. Heh.

And then he gladly pose for me, while i quicked snapped this pic of him. He flashed me this bestest smilee. Aww kids, they have the most innocent smile, dont they?? Awesome!

Joelle's funny faces. :p

So KAWAIIII NEEEEE`!~

2008-10-29T17:44:00.004+08:00

my long weekenddd :)

1) Fri nite was lotsa fun at loy's house. Played a round of MJ! Supposed to share half-half with ivan, but i refused to get up cos i was on a winning streak! Until kena "bao" 4 tais by Aaron! And i played a few rounds of of mario kart racing (go Toad GO! mushroom head!) and boxing on WII too! About Toad the happy little mushroom, he's so cutee. Always grinning and happy! Left ard 2am, when the poker starts! Walaoo! Here's Toad.

2) Sat afternoon was spent at gavin's house for CG. We did the chapter on Israel (To Walk and Not Grow Weary), discussing about Nostalgia. We shared about our "nostalgic moments". Like many others, we often look back and compare our present state to the good times before, forming a misconception that the past is better than the present?? Hmm..This chapter reminds us to be thankful and grateful for the present, and not dwell on the past. Similarly in the saying that goes, "Nostalgia is a seductive liar."A liar, it is, as we humans only remember past moments of joy, the carefree lives, the golden moments, forgetting the hardships and unhappiness. Hence these "moments" forms the "experience" which equates to "nostalgia".

And then, i played WII (its toad again!) and Guitar Heroessss again wheeee~ Met up with two girliesss (plus a girlie's bf) for dinner @ playground. We went for a longg walk along ecp aft dinner then its desert time!

3) Sun i went to watch The Coffin, with iris derick and etc gang. EEE not scary *act brave* haha. Abit bothered cus i tink *somebody* hatess mee.. i can feel it! Oh wellss........ my own assumption LOL :@ We had BKT for dinner. Feeling abit sick aft tt.. so didnt join for dvd session. Mr nice pinky sent me home, tog wit derick n lynn!

4) Mon: Went for lunch buffet with my family. Rest of the day was nua-ing and tryin to recover from flu.

I Love............

Yesterday (Leona Lewis)

I just can't believe you're gone
Still waiting for morning to come
Wanna see if the sun will rise
Even without you by my side (ooh yeah)

When we had so much in store
Tell me what is it i'm reaching for
When we're through building memories
I'll hold yesterday in my heart, in my heart

Chorus:They can take tomorrow and the plans we made (plans we made)
They can take the music that we'll never play
All the broken dreams
Take everything
Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday
They can take the future that we'll never know (no no)
They can take the places that we said we would go
All the broken dreams
Take everything
Just take it away (oh oh), but they can never have yesterday

You always used to stay
I should be thankful for everyday
Heaven knows what the future holds
Or atleast how the story goes (but I never believed them 'til now)

I know i'll see you again i'm sure
No, it's not selfish to ask for more
One more night, one more day
One more smile on you face
But they can't take yesterday

Chorus:They can take tomorrow and the plans we made (no no)
They can take the music that we'll never play (they can take the music that we'll never play)
All the broken dreams (oh, my broken dreams)
Take everything (take everything)
Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday (oh oh oh)
They can take the future that we'll never know (we'll never know)
They can take the places that we said we would go (huh oh oh)
All the broken dreams (all the broken dreams)
Take everything (take everything)
Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday

I thought our days would last forever (but it wasn't our destiny)
'Cause in my mind, we had so much time
But i was so wrong
Now i can, believe that I can still find the strength in the moments we made
I'm looking back on yesterday

Chorus:They can take tomorrow and the plans we made (ooh ooh)
They can take the music that we'll never play (no)
All the broken dreams (all the broken dreams)
Take everything (take everything)
Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday (yesterday)
They can take the future that we'll never know (yeah ah)
They can take the places that we said we would go (that we said we would go)
All the broken dreams (all our broken dreams)
Take everything (take everything)
Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday (they can never hace yesterday)
Ooooh... (All the broken dreams take everything)
But they can never have yesterday

Had our "wacky" themed bdae party for Ben Loy last Sat!

Me and Junne, getting ready at Wendy's place before the party. I was there to fix-on fake eye lashes. Teeheeehee. My outfit wasnt really wacky but at least i (we) tried. I look like a total idiot in those pink specs of wendy's.

Cam-whoring~ Spot the blue eyelashes!

At Oomphatico (tanglin mall). Nice ambience, but food's not great.

With the bdae boy, who was super sporting that day. Polka dots bow tie and stripy shirt! how cool?! LOLZ

Ready to party! Just outside St.James.

A usual "happy three fwens" pic.

WALL.E so adorable! As well as M-O, EVE and the Cockroach that never dies!

Everything below sorta explains the 2kg weight increase the past year. ~_^

Barracks Cafe at House @ Dempsey

We gave JY a belated bdae treat at Dempsey last night. First time checking out House. Rather interesting concept, they have a spa, cafe & bar within House. The cafe's quite nice and cosy. However i find it over-rated. The mains' just average. We had the lobster linguine, their infamouse Red Snapper and i had Cod Fish! Didnt have enuff at Tetsu the other time! Told junne ill try to whip up a Cod Fish dish, but havent done so! We're gonna try White Rabbit next time! And becos Dinner wasnt very satisfying, we hopped over to Ben & Jerry's for ice-cream ;)

Marutama Ramen @ Central

This ramen place is worth queuing! Was there last wk with the happy 3 fwens and gwenne the first time. And just few days ago, was there again! This time with ben(tang) & frens. Really liked the ramen there. They also have tis additional toppin of Tamago. Its actually kind of like a stewed egg, we call it "half boiled egg, within a hard boiled egg" LOL. Needs precise timing & training to cook an egg like this. As usual aft dinner, needed to find some place to chill. Went to TCC ! aha! They had this promotional thingy going on for their PeachTaccio cake. Its called the Golden Hunt. If you manage to find a Golden truffle in the cake, you get yr bills totally waived off. And guess wad! We embarrased ourselves as we thought we found the Golden TRUFFLE!! Asked for the waiter to verify. LOL. Its so not the Golden Truffle. But we had a fun time!

Went to check out the Bungy Ride after that at Clarke Quay! Exciting lah! But it costs aa bomb for that 50-sec-only excitment. $45! Crazy. May try it out. Hope i dont get heart-attack.

Next wkend, we're gonna celebrate Ben's and Tiff's bdae! I am still wondering wad i shld wear for ben's par-tay! Wacky colour theme @ Oomphatico! (Tanglin Mall)!

Yippee now going to the range for Golf ! Havent played for quite long. Hope i stilll guddd Muahaha This time playing wif a new golf bud!

Roxette - It must have been love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDLxzDVYKgE

Lay a whisper on my pillow

Leave the winter on the ground

I wake up lonely, is there a silence

In the bedroom and all around

Touch me now, I close my eyes

And dream away...

It must have been love, but it's over now

It must have been good, but I lost it somehow

It must have been love, but it's over now

From the moment we touched till the time had run out

Make believing we're together

That I'm sheltered by your heart

But in and outside I turn to water

Like a teardrop in your palm

And it's a hard winter's day I dream away...

It must have been love, but it's over now

It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without

It must have been love, but it's over now

It's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows

2008-08-14T13:49:00.003+08:00

PMS is over! Muhahahha and im feeling happier. Hee. Went to Chomp Chomp last night. Then went to check out this Ice Cream desert bar which serves alot of chocolaty ice-cream. *beams* my loves!

My dad commented that i cant pronounce the word "WHY". Answered a phone call with him around the other day and he said i pronounced it really bad, like "waiiii". Ya I know it should be "WHHHH...Y." Just dont feel the need to ARTICULATE every single word when i speak to people im close with.

(Ive met the world's dumest dum dum...)

2008-08-12T16:12:00.002+08:00

MAJOR PMS-ING!!

I tink im facing a "quarter life crisis!". Im getting bored of all the things i do. How ah??

Last couple of days im super irritatable & grouchy lor. I developed ASB & AP! I dont even want to reply sms or ans calls. LOL. Damn extreme. I was also quite irritated when my frens wanted to go to OOSH after dinner, becos i wanted to go home to sleep! Muahahaha.

And yesterday, worse! Just very angry lor over many small things. I am usually quite patient one leh (especially to dum dum pple). And so i bought many chocs to pamper myself! Sigh sigh sigh! Its only times like this when i feel its good to hav a bf, someone to whine at and pamper me~ then again, i always haf bfs that piss me off, so i rather not. Suay man!

Sianz! Anyway, I am thinking if i should i get a golf set. Iris's one is so nice. I oso jus reserved iphone. I really dont bother about the condition of my hp now. It had dropped a gazillion times until the sides of the phone also "cui". The volume button also not working anymore haha.. im horrible i noe.. Been wanting to get one, but dont see anything i like.. bahhh.. sianz!

Just SO SIAN!!!

(i hope ill feel better few days later!)

2008-08-08T12:15:00.006+08:00

Was at Settlers' cafe for our dept retreat. It was a super unhealthy 2-day session for me lor. I ate so many sotong balls & fried stuff. Interestingly, during one of our tea-breaks,we gathered in our cliques for discussions and it led us to a very serious topic on Marriage. Being the youngest amongst d group, i listen and "absorb" (like a sponge) some of their pointers in life. Heex. A summary of views..

The Singles' view- Happiness

The Singles in the group have expressed their happiness of staying Single. Being financially independant & having no need to contribute to d family (as compared to married) has given them the options of the finer things in life. They enjoy their freedom of going to the gym, dine well, travelling to see d world without havin to worry for the spouse and children. Growing older also means they will not settle for less. As long as you have loads of frens to stand by you and bring you thr' the lonely times, you will have no probs.

The Married Ones - Bliss or Regrets?

I kid you not. Being Married and having children can be a real nightmare if you are not ready.Whilst some remain very positive on the notion of a perfect marriage & family, some expressed unhappiness.And unhappiness usually comes with reasons like "if i had known this comes wif so much responsibility" "if i had married later" "if i had no children" "if i had married someone else" etc. They lose out a portion of their time to taking care of d family, hence which means lesser time to pamper themselves, cultivate an interest or simply jus do the things you love.

Conclusion- Choices in life

1) Do not get pressurized to get hitched for the wrong reasons such as "too tired of dating jerks/bitches", "societal pressure", "getting older so must settle down" "all my frens are getting married!" "my parents stressing me to get married" etc.

2) In the later years, as compared to those happily married ones, you may die a lonely death becos you have no children!

3) Since life is short, do you want to be self-centred, max out yr life and enjoy all you can? Or would you risk settling down with a partner that might possibly be the One who would go thr' thick & thin with you and love you, or might jus turn out to be someone who may possibly screw up ur whole life?

Being pragmatic people here, it does seem like there's a whole lot more benefits to staying Single, at least, less risk.

Dont get me wrong. I still strongly believe in Marriage & Love. Jus that it takes a whole lot more than jus feelings of Love to make a marriage last. It takes effort, patience and commitment to see through a lifetime. And its true, there are certain things that frens jus cant give. A simple hug/kiss or compliment from your spouse (or loved ones) may jus make your day.

If only love & marriage was simple & pure like this ( in blibical terms):

"...Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. "

FUN! FUN! FUN!!!

Yippee~ Had another great weekend! =D

KTV-ed with Junne, Wendy, Peijie & Jason at downtown east Kbox! We were singing oldies like "wang jie" that nite cus we realised we dont know all the new songs! haha.. so outdate already..

Watched "The Mummy" on fri night. I sat on a bike that day!! I swear its scary, and it felt like my helmet's flying off! Junne joined us for movie and together with iris & derick we supper-ed at Arab st till 2am. We were talking about.. well ..problemetic guys.. Sleepy sleepy~.

Got a morning call from pearlynn at 7plus am becos we had to go to the new Hort Park! WhEE! We met d rest at the sentosa hawker centre for brekkie then we headed off to mount faber! Its so rare that i wake up so early on Sats. haha. And so we walked, climbed stairs, chat, laugh, toook pics from mount faber, to henderson waves, to hilltop walk & finally, arrived at our destination the new Hort Park at Alexander! Honestly by then, we were so tired we didnt really see much of the Hort Park! We walked a total of 4-5km, in abt 1.5 hrs. Not to mention we did had a number of pit stops along the way. For lunch, we went to Vivo for Earle's Swensens. Didnt noe they have the salad bar too, like Sizzlers.

Later on, some of us went to chill at gavin's place, The Icon (where expats & richies live!) I was introduced to Guitar Heroes and im HOOKED! So addictive the game! I wanna play somemore!

That day was really tiring and i went to bed very early at 10pm, all aching from the walk.

Sunday! Went for dinner at Wild Rockets. The food wasnt really very good, but we all had fun gossiping! haha.. Then we went next door, to Wild Oats for drinks.. Very nice & quiet place to chill out. The guys wanted to drink tow huey after that so went to Selegie. Lol we ate alot lor. Then went to Mustafa to check it out since its ben (tang)'s and ryan's first visit there... hehe... and they kept going on about " d smell" .. aiyoh.. haaha wayne, who was familiar with the place brought us around...hehe

Collage done on Picasa!

I returned home to last few mins of my idol's Initial D, and then off to dreamland.zzz. =D

SAD! =<

NO MORE MSN AT WORK!!!

2008-07-28T11:49:00.009+08:00

The Many Things I Did Last Weekend! *:)*

1. Clubbing @ St James Boiler Room with iris.grace.lynn.derick & grace's frens!Boiler room turned out really fun, though some jokes were crude & gayish like "squeeze b*lls!' Lol. Music was great! We spent hours on the dancefloor. And then we headed for dim sum supper.

taking pics outside the toliet. Nice background!

2. High-tea with my msn buddy @ work/ irritating fren (LOL =p) auntie Sharon & Pearlynn. Finee. Next time we go Marriott okayy. Confirm nicer, like 10 times yummier. Oh no, shld b ritz since got discount! haha :) We went to Goodwood Park, and we didnt like it. The spread's really lousy, not enticing at all. Anyhow, i still enjoyed myself with the girls.. my fav gossip session.

playing around wif the picasa software and did some funny effects

3. Shopping! I havent gone shopping for clothes for a long time. The last time was when i went to perth in june. Bought a skirt & 2 tops from Mango & GUESS SALE! Heh.

4. Movieee. Watched The Dark Knight. It almost seemed like a movie outing cos there were like 11 of us watchin together! Ha-ha. Christian Bale is so charming la *drools* definitely my type LOR! whahahaaha

5. Went to collect my new specs!! :D

6. Ate at balestier's "World's Best" bak kut teh (and so my cousin claims..) Not bad not bad.. it's called Founders BKT.

7. Chilled out for coffee at 3 places: T3, McDonald's & Starbucks

"What the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't feel,"

Eat, drink, shop & be happy!! =D

2008-07-23T09:32:00.004+08:00

Eat, drink, shop & be happy!! =D

Okayy, im not exactly very happy, but i want to be! I whine & complain to my frens so much about every single little thing, but yet, they still think i seem really happy i dunoe why! It cant be! (though i may appear to be, and i always attribute it to my dimple, u noe how when pple see a dimple, they'd think u are SMILING?!). Mayb they are right, becos most things dont bother me very much now and ill jus luff it off. Hmm so then again, mayb im happy. Whahaha.

Two nights ago, while helping a fren run an errand, i uncovered something horrible (mayb its not that bad). God knows how come i have such curiousity and kpo-ness in me. Bah!! But i can sayy, its something "not very nice to know". I was rather disturbed about it. I know i shouldnt judge, but i cant help it. Pondering over it yesterday, talked to some of my close frens and i finally decided that i should let it go. All of a sudden, i think all those missing pieces began to make sense. Sometimes i feel really blessed to have many close frens that i can talk to. :)

Btw, i went to Relish (cluny court) last night for burgers. Decided to go there, since i was intending to have deserts at Island Cremery, which was jus down the road. Quite a dissappointment though. Didnt really like it, but still alrite la. And then to Island Cremery for my fav ice-cream, Teh tarik and Reverso! Too full to eat my another fav, Mud Pie! Heh..

So many favs, how to lose weight..

R. Blading @ ECP

2008-07-21T11:40:00.006+08:00

Sunday morning we went roller blading! My group of "supportive" frens decided that we should go exercise once a week at ECP! So mayb next week we'll be cycling! Honestly after abt an hour of trying to balance & blade, i was exhausted & giddy maybe becos i was constantly looking at my feet when im blading.

In fact that i had a "personal trainer" there that day to teach me how to blade! And gosh, he was too harsh on me and too bossy i didnt like him. So i decided to slack. Ha-ha. He said i was lousy. But later on, he got pissed becos im sucha slacker, he left. =p

It was so frustrating thatmorning becos i couldnt find my sunglasses, cap etc. I look funny like this! I really should un-pack my clothing & sort them out properly! Argh!

junne's sunnies r so retro

ben's sunnies

After blading, we went to ben's aunt's nasi lemak stall at downtown east. Later that evening i went shopping for kate spade bags. But i didnt buy any! Went to make a pair of spectacles instead at Queenstown together with iris, derick and the rest. Cant wait for my new ted baker specs!! =D

2008-07-18T10:15:00.002+08:00

I just went for my basic health screening this morning. Did a blood test, and the nurse, a friendly fillipinno lady commented that my veins were too "small", cannot see, and very hard to draw out the blood. I was asked to squeeze this stress ball for like 1 min, to pump up the blood. It wasnt painful, but i went almost breathless waaiting for her to slowly fill up those 3 tubes of blood. Seemed like it took forever! Also had my weight and height measured and bmi says im.. in the normal range. I know this sounds a lil craze but i so wanna be in the slightly "underweight" range again! Ah im so fat. Im so sad.

Memories

2008-07-17T12:04:00.003+08:00

I miss..

the quiet neighbourhood

the friendly DVD shop

the sight of aeroplanes flying across

the park where i take quiet strolls & star gaze

the walking distance to church

cold storage, hokkien mee & simpang

2008-07-16T09:40:00.002+08:00

I realised that whenever i have my period, i usually dont feel hungry. I didnt even have dinner last night, also partly because the huge ulcer hurts! Argh. But not feeling hungry is good.. Heh

2008-07-15T17:54:00.002+08:00

Shifted to serangoon a couple of days ago. Its not too bad there! Lots of things to buy and eat. And i dont have to wake up early to go to work!

I shall attempt to live off my boxes of clothing n stuff for the next 2 months.

*i got a huge ulcer! ouchhh*

Goodbye Piano

2008-07-03T15:48:00.005+08:00

Ever since i was young, i had interest in Music. My parents thought since i was musically-inclined, they enrolled me for piano classes when i was about 5. I enjoyed those classes. We sang to the tunes do re mi fa so.. and learnt about rythem, how to play the triangle, instruments and the key board.

As i grew older, i got distracted by the many things i had to deal with such as school work, CCAs, new frens and interests, i started to dread piano classes and theory. To make it worse, piano teachers were horrible cos they love hitting my nuckles with pens when i missed notes and when i did not practice enough. Then, I dont like to practice and i was rather complacent, thinking that i could get away with just one practice before class. And I absolutely sucked at Sight Reading. I remembered how i struggled at every single note. That's how bad.

Through the years, the piano slowly became a white elephant at home. Occasionally, i would still play the piano when i get hold of nice songs. Now, it is time to part with my piano. I had to sell the piano away cos i am going to move to a new place soon, and it would save us alot of hassle shifting from place to place. My dad sold it to a dealer for $800 last nite. Abit sad lar cos it was with me for many years already.

So goodbye to my 19-year-old mahogany Yamaha piano. Will probably get a new piano, perhaps just a keyboard, when i move into the new apartment in mid Sept.

___________________________________________________

Two pieces of Good News in a day! =D

Thank God!

My parents finally came to a consensus and finally bought a place *phew* after all those unhappy arguments we had the past months on where to stay lar, this no good, that no good, so ex lar etc.. Officially moving O-U-T on the 10th July to rented place at Serangoon, then 10th Sept, to the new house.

And the other, i managed to negotiate for a higher-than-expected pay increase Wahahaha.

*Happy & Relieved*

National Family Celebrations 08.

Family Day Out @ the Singapore Flyer.

NFC 08 is here once again. And this year, it really was a mad rush, trying to organise 2 huge events within a short time. Had 2 media conferences at Suntec and Sentosa (images of singapore) before the actual launch. So this is wad ive been busy with, including like some other 200 odd family-themed ground events. Family Day Out (launch event) turned out very well, with the help of nice people we're working with. And becos it was family day out, i brought my family along to take the Flyer on that same evening. It was almost a 30-min ride. View was quite limited but still it was quite enjoyable.

Today's my last golf lesson for the beginners stage. The most interesting for me was my 9th lesson, the 2nd time at the golf greens. :) I did Bunker Shots with the sand wedge. The aim is to hit the sand about an inch behind the ball and create a mini-explosion which carries your ball up and out of the bunker. I just love swinging the club so hard till it creates that mini sand explosion. Whahaha. Poor frens who were positioned behind me had to suffer from the sand that kept blowing onto them, everytime i attempt to get the ball out. Oops. :p

I'll miss golf lessons and the beautiful scenery from the greens. Could catch a nice view of city landscape, Sg Flyer and the DHL balloon! But luckily its over though. Dont have to suffer from terrible bitesss!

Contemplating on taking the PC now.

2008-06-02T11:57:00.001+08:00

I am having A.I withdrawal symptoms! :( And i think David Cook totally rox!!

Love his version of ~AlwaysBmybaby ~ so niceee! ! It's gonna be my ringtone!!!

2008-05-05T11:09:00.003+08:00

I just fell down right outside my doorstep!

I slipped and landed on my left butt. All my bags flew across the floor.

Super angry with the cleaner. Make my blood boillllllllllllllll !!!

It obviously her fault that she did a sloppy job and left the floor ultra wet. Yet, when i confronted her, she said that its not her fault that i fell. Not even feeling a wee bit apologetic.

Wth. GND!!!!!

And now im home blogging, so pathetic. So painful! :(

2008-05-04T15:12:00.003+08:00

Pack.

That's what my mom been asking me to do for weeks, months. And since i might be shifting house, might as well do some packing now. And so today, finally after much procrastination, i sat down in front of my wardrobe and did some serious packing. (Sometimes when she asks me to do packing, i jus happily sit in front of my wardrobe and day-dream.)

I yanked out pieces of tops which i cant fit anymore. Upon throwing them away, i deliberated, tinkin hey, maybe someday ill fit in those again. Oh well, I decided to chuck them anyway.

Good to clear some clutter out of my wardrobe. At least ill have more space for new clothes and more shopping.

2008-04-20T00:44:00.014+08:00

It's Sunday! A super hot one. Im home all day and I did nothing. Just bumming around, took an afternoon nap, watch Tv & occasionally snack on mini-poppers ice cream. Shiok. But im starting to develop Sunday blues. Boo hoo.

Last afternoon, i went to view an apartment with my parents. I foresee for the next few months, ill be really busy house hunting.

Anyways, i met up with the babes for shopping, tea, movie and supper! I need to get a present, hence the gals accompanied me, and sacrificed their own shopping agenda! Sweet! Hee.

Went to watch "Definitely, Maybe". It's a must-watch! So touching, i cried! The story really depicts the whole dating life, how u fell in love with some at a wrong time in your life and how some people were just "never quite right"???.. Hmms. The story has a happy ending though. Go watch!

After movie, we decided to go Chatterbox for Chicken rice. What a sinful supper! The mango pudding is yummy too! Havent gone there since it moved up to the 38th floor. Nice view. Me and pearl were trying to capture some pictures on the way up to the 38th floor. Haha. Thanks babe, for the advance bdae treat. : )

Nonono, im not looking forward turning a quarter of a century, nor excited to join the "mid-twenties" club. But omgomgomg, im really gonna be 24 next Saturday!!! Better treasure my still-23 days man! :D

I received an early bdae gift too! Pretty! Thanks! ;) :) ;)

-Some random pics-

Me, Lynn & the rest having at Crystal Jade. I had congee as usual.
Im really lazy to put on contact lenses nowadays. Hence i need to go get a new pair of specs!

Another random pic hehe after golf at ecp

Hahaha. How do i look? PRO anot! Been going for golf practises lately. Working hard on my swing! Its quite tiring though, got some back aches after hitting many many balls. Still my furthest, is like 75m? hehe Well, its only my 4th lesson.

Last week, i also met up with the pri sch gang for lunch. Being the indecisive bunch, we crossed the road a few times along beach rd, before settling at one of those average cafes at Shaw house.

Ice-cream (i-scream)!!!

Why is Sg so damn hotttt?

Roar.

"Anyway " (American Idol)Martina McBride Waking Up Laughing

You can spend your whole life building something from nothing
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can chase a dream that seems so out of reach and you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway, I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy and it's hard to believe that tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all your heart, for all the right reasons, and in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love 'em anyway

God is great, but sometimes life ain't good
And when I pray it doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway, I do it anyway

This world's gone crazy and it's hard to believe that tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can pour your soul out singing a song you believe in that tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway, yeah sing it anyway
I sing, I dream, I love, anyway

Just because, last Fri's meeting ended later than expected, it kinda messed up my plans for the weekends. I missed the mani/pedi/eyebrow with fluffbluff and i felt grumpy becos my eyebrow looks outa shape. Plus, I didnt have the time to drop by the supermarket to get the ingredients to bake cookies the next morning! Hence, i went elsewhere that night and ended up having a late, fat supper at ecp.

Chocolate Factory, Pepperoni Pizzeria & Cold Rock!

After scouting around town for golf gloves, I decided to join the rest for dinner!

We doodle away while waiting for food to be served. Im lousy at drawing. My mum used to do my art & craft in school days for me!

Supper delicious Portobello Mushroom

Fanciful-named pasta which i cant remember. I would prefer to call it Marinara!

Chocolates that melt in your mouth

Huge thin-crust pizza, which tasted like Nann with pizza toppings.

After dinner, we went ice cream at Cold Rock!
Missing those days when i would drive to freo in winter just to get cold rock ice cream!! That's how greedy i am!

Acting cute!

Without derrick!

Finally, all of us together. :)

U Are The One!

Just back from supporting my old fren Jiaxi, in this Chanel U contest at MediaCorp. Headed down to the studios after meeting JY and having sandwiches at cedele. Since i came back from HK, ive been eating sandwiches for dinner every every every night can! Still cant lose weight! From PS cafe, to Cedele, to TCC to Coffee Club, its just sandwiches every night!!

Gosh. Fiona's so pretty and curvy. Jealous! The rest of them are just super skinny.

Me and JY, before the show. The production crew made the girls sit in front, because its the "Meng Nan" show. Hence, got separated from the rest of the guys. And since the show was sponsored by Kotex, all the gers were given free pads, nicely packed in pink pouches.

JX, we will forever support U!! *screams in chinese* whahahaha

EeE. Blocked by the camera. Sadly, the contestants not very "Meng" lehz. Me and JY keep luffing all the way.

Went to Thomson for prata and gossip session thereafter. Hee. :D

Golf #1

Last Thursday, i started my 1st lesson at Marina Bay golf course, where i learnt the rules of the game. I was dressed in my office wear for some theory. Many new terms were introduced. Things like Par, Hole-in-one, bogey, putting green, etc all seems daunting! We were intoduced to the different clubs as well and how to get the gear. So the weekends, im was all set to get the proper golf attire and gloves! Well, though im only a beginner, still must look good and have the "seh" mah. Haha. So far only bought the gloves.

A beautiful view across from the golf course.

The Singapore Flyer

The cafe where i ate mee goreng before the class.

Come the next class, 3 of us are all ready to whack balls on the driving range! Woots. So excited!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hongkong

Back from HK last tuesday. My trip was cut short by a day because it was getting a little boring already from all those shopping, eating and those Hui Lau Shan mango desert. Ive covered all those major shopping areas from Mongkok all the way to Central, Causeway bay and remaining were repeated times over Tsim Sha Tsui.

I was staying at my aunt's apartment at Laguna Verde in Hung Hom. Really enjoyed staying there for that couple of nights. The unit is high up on the 37th floor with a pretty view of the city lights. A portion of it faces the sea.

It is also situated near the bus station where a single bus, 8P, can take us to the the TST ferry terminal for food, shopping and more! A night view taken outside Harbour City.

I may be *cross fingers* flying to HK again this coming fri for the weekends! Looking forward to more H&M! =D

Don't Want To Grow Up

Watching me, watchin you...

Would love to have a cute pup. But i dont think ill have time for it. Cant possibly leave it home alone. x(

This is a baby maltese. Ain't she cute? I prefer to call it a "she" though i dont know wads its real gender. I have a selfish thought too. I wish that she'll never grow up and remain so lil and cute forever.

2008-02-19T11:10:00.004+08:00

YES!

I went jogging last evening for a good 40mins! And it felt good. Strangely, i quite enjoyed it. Used to dislike jogging alot.

Saw many cute dogs along the way. Wish i can have one of my own!

==> P.S. I love u ==>

After that, i went TM to watch P.S. I Love u.

It's a really sad sad movie but at the same time, the flashbacks on how the couple met and fell in love were at the same time heartwarming, romantic and hilarious. I was tearing throughout the entire movie till i ran out of tissue. So embarrasing. Haha.

A lady beside me was sobbing away. And i noticed she's watching such a sad movie ALONE! Gosh. So emo!

Initially wanted to borrow some tissue with her, but later decided not to. LOL

And i got a lil emo too at the end of the show. :(

It's amazing how the dead hubby could still do so much to help her move on with life.....

Just like what Mitch Albom (The Five People You Meet in Heaven) wrote: ""life has to end," "but love doesnt."

Aww... touching..~

By the way, I think Mitch Albom's books are depressing reads (especially Tuesdays With Morrie), although i cant deny they are meaningful as it made me reflect about life in general.

And so, i went home last night with red, swollen eyes.

Im a sucker for romantic movies.

-nite-

Grown-ups

Home early today!!

Some pictures over Cny...

Primary School frens came visiting at my house on Chu Si (Sunday)...

It's been more than 10 years since i know them. From primary school times when we play softball together, visit bedok library and Burger King for waffle ice-cream, connie dog every Saturday, play catching in the playground, hang out at mcdonald's where i only eat mc-nuggets, go tuitions together, go to each other's houses to play boardgames (especially mine cos i love to buy such games) like Hotel, Monopoly, Risk, Rat race, etc. etc.

Look at how we have grown up already! Zhiwen wasnt so skinny last time.. hahaha. Sometimes we even bring our bfs/gfs for gatherings. See how time flies!

Even until secondary school, we still try to make a point to meet up to go home together or have lunch at Parkway Parade.

Nonethelesss, im so blessed to have this group of frens whom i can always rely on and gossip with. Hehe. And they know my deepest secrets. Muahahaha. Not like i keep secrets. Oh well. My parents know their parents and vice versa, which has its pros and cons too. Advantage being, sometimes i would borrow their names so that i can sneak out with other "frens" Muahahha. *shhhh secret ah*

Food Galore galore galoreeee....!

On monday night, me ryan and ferry (who's here for holiday) went to Jumbo for seafood... Initially we all wanted to eat something simple cos we've all been over-eating throughout the cny visitings.. But ended up eating alot more! Had crab, man touS, mee goreng, fried tofu, kang kong.. etc etc!

And last night, we all went for Buffet @ Hanabi Katong Mall !!
Met sarah and the guys at somerset and we took this new bus 14e to katong!
Glen and ryan were the first ones to reach.. We waited for geon becos he was lost somewhere along katong road.. poor guy.

From left: Ferry (beng beng), Louis (ah beng), sarah, glen ho (cousin), ryan ho (cousin), clara ho (me), geon (looking alittle drunk after the sake)

==========================================
Becos of the promotion that was going on, we had 2 plates of complimentary lobsters!

Cheers to the gay boys! haha =p

================================
So artistic.. Like real!! The photographer for the night was ryan!

==================================
Most compatible couple of the night, glen and geon, wearing the exact same polo tee!

After dinner , we all went to watch Ah Long Pte Ltd, together with aunty lynn and uncle ricky. Quite surprised that our indo and korean fren here could enjoy the movie.. as it was mostly in the local context.. Mark lee is ultra sissy in the show and he acted really well.

This ah long ah long long long song was playing in my head all night!

TIRED!!!

I've been extremely busy ... !!!

Last night, we went on the Cable Car ride from Mt Faber to Sentosa! My excellent suggestion! haha. The tix 's rather pricy though. 20 bucks for the Glass Cabin ones, with a total travelling time for about 10 mins one way? hmm.. During the ride, i was so afraid we would fall into the seas or jungle. Negative thoughts! The view from the top's really beautiful.. Throughout the ride, we also tried poking fun at couples who were pak-tohing and sky-dining. hahaha. Evil! muahaa.

We stopped at Sentosa for some new zealander and then headed back to mt faber...

Inside the cable car... ... ... ...

Aaaaaa..! Monster behind me. EEks.

With Sam (beri funny), Pinky (beri nice) and Iris (miss "silly"?) .. =p

And im supposedly... BERI CUTE! heh.

Goodnight!!

BBQ at Eastwood (my house!)

Last sat!

Hee, I planned well!!

Thank God the rain stopped in time for us to start bbq-ing at around 7-ish!

Met zw and gisela earlier in the afternoon to do grocery shopping. Hmm, actually they did most of it. Haha. Cos i was away to see the doc! Down with a really bad flu last week. It's really contagious too. whaha. 3 of my frens got it from me already. Didnt help that i stayed over at my fren's place the night before. My dad left me like 24 missed calls, but i was too tired that i didnt even hear my phone ringing. Woke up at 4am, feeling super feverish. :( Met weihao to grab some lozenges and for some mmm abalone congee! at crystal jade before heading to my fren's place. He was so nice to help me carry my forever- heavy bag cos i was looking really PALE! Bah!

Anyways, and so the 3 of us spent the whole afternoon seasoning the food, preparing and waiting for the rain to stop. We bought lots and lots of sausages, balls, nuggets, crabsticks (supposed to peng with honey, but ended up always chao da), sambal prawns (shiok-oooduu!), chicken meat (which is super yummy cos we poured the whole bottle of chicken marinate), unagi, mashmallows (to be dipped in chocolate) and we had bee hoon as well.

At around 10pm, the security guard came over and told me we had a complaint from one of the neighbours cos we were too noisy. Oh man, stupid neighbours. So we had to pack up and all of them came over my place to play games!

Started playing "7-up"... 1 2 3 4 5 6 UP! 8 9 10 11 12 13 UPPPP!!

Ben's always tryin to confuse me, so i exchanged seats with PJ, who doesnt react to ben! The forfeit was to eat up the potatoe chips and drinks.. Not really a bad forfeit. haha. This game lasted for awhile and got everyone really kan jiong..

House Of Betrayal !!!

This game lasted for almost 2++ hours. Got to strategise and kill one another. Too stressful for the night... Some were quite engrossed in it..

While others... got a little bored... hee

Yikes! Guess who's hairy hairy leg?

Me and Junne, looking sleepy and tired.

Alas at 2am, we decided to call it a night.

A very fun one indeed! :D

Time of Event : 8pm
Venue: Singapore Indoor Stadium

Tonite!! Tonite!! Finally! :D

Aah, helps to brighten up my super moody day.

I cant help but complain about every single thing, from how dull and lack radiance my face looks, pimples, to my hair, my fake eyelash (which keeps dropping off), my top ( which keeps dropping off too hahaha! ).. everything pisses me off!

The dark chocolate gelato mixed-in with raisins, helped a wee bit. :)

Dont ask me why i look grouchy. It's the time of the month.

*urgh*

2008-01-14T09:17:00.000+08:00

Yet here I am, Changed, but still the same,

Watching and waiting, Perpetually yours.

Ebel 1911 btr perpetual calendar

Fell in love with this watch.

Tagged along with my dad and uncle to takashimaya to this watch shop, Vacheron Constantin (its a prestige watch brand which i havent heard of). Their designs are like err, very plain and classic kind of look but they all cost a bomb like 20k onwards. Im sure the Ebel one is more affordable(although its slightly big for my wrist cuz its a man's size).

;

Went to Yoshoku Kitchen (jap + fusion place @ serene centre) to have late lunch the other day. The restaurant was empty! I tink we were the only 2 customers there. I like the Wafu Bifu Suteki (beef steak) and tried the jap curry rice.

After that we proceeded to Island Cremery again becos i really like the mudpie and teh tarik ice-cream there.

There was a period of time i always wanted Venezia. Now times have changed. haha

yummymudpie

Recently someone told me, that love is a realisation.

You wake up one day, realising that YOU R IN LOVE.

Then the next day, or suddenly perhaps, YOU R NOT IN LOVE.

What if you feel differently on every alternate day?

Oddball.

Byee. :)

Happy New Year! (pull your EAR!)

New year's eve celebration was at my aunt's place at Tessarina.

Had a fun time catching up with my cousins, (one who's back from mel for summer), and playing with my nieces and nephews.

As i was talking to my primary 4 nephew, he asked me if i had a Facebook account, if i played Warbook. He even told me about going on Youtube to watch dramas and soccer.

OMG. Imagine a 1o-yr-old kid telling me he goes on facebook!

That makes me a super old 'auntie' liaoz. Age is catching up. No wonder, i dont feel so excited about festive seasons anymore. *faints*

.. The last day of the 2007! ...

Yippee. It's the day i chuck away my 07' calendar!

I thought it'd be good to spend tis day with my family and relatives at a house party, since there isnt anyone really 'special' this year i would want to spend countdown with.

2007 was'nt really the best year for me, yet. Couldnt acheive some of the things i wanted to. But its not bad either. Got a pay rise, but yet job satisfaction, (not quite there), travelled abit, learnt a couple new things like dancing (belly dance & exotic dance), cooking and roller-blading, spend lots of money & bought the most expensive gift for myself so far ($1.4k!), did a few silly things along the way, but ive learnt quite alot, especially in relationships, be it between frens or boys. :)

Other than those mentioned, nothing really 'spectacular' happened this year.

It's also the 1st year i'm 'single', after being attached for the longest time in my life. And i swear its far more confusing and complicated than being in a relationship.

Hence, I wish that in 2008, ill be less playful, more serious, decisive about things and most importantly, to mean wad i sayyy!!

And of cos, to lose weight, stay healthy, pretty! :D

Looking forward to a brand new and better year ahead!

Happy 2008!! ;)
