shopping is therapeutic

look at the weather.. it's like waving me towards the direction of the clinic, inducing me to get an mC n stay home to enjoy my day n be happy. i relented.

somehow feel like i must fully make use of my benefits as an employee. got MC..take lor..though it's not totally FOC but no reason to deprive myself of that craving to slack. my dad has been scolding me lazy for the whole morning, using all the possible phrases, languages n dialects he knew. yep.. and i remained silent throughout.. = consent. heh. anyway! i AM mc-ing for a reason also.. happens that the inspector for aedes mosquitoes are coming today in the afternoon and my dad wants me to stay home to welcome him. so yep. waiting right now.

watched chuck n larry yesterday and didn't really like it. it's like funny but not the type of humour i really like. quite idiotic,crude n sexual.. kirai yo. romantic witty humour is more for me.

looking towards a reorg of my division since my deputy director is leaving soon.. hope it'll bring a dash of freshness and revamp the culture of my division.. 2nd Oct..i'll have the updates then.. coming sooN!

been spending money like nobody's biz..i must be thinking i'm dripping gold bars with each step i take... wake up mochi!!! sigh

buddy ng! i can hi5 with you...besides my lappy, my sports shoes... my most recent splurge was on 2 dresses, 4 tops from This Fashion... amounting to $150..shopping done within 1 and a half hours during my lunch. I can't help but to give myself a pat on my own back for my material quest. but this fashion really got nice stuff once in a blue moon..so it's good to pop by once in a while.

then next week got wedding dinner to attend...another outflow.. dg's bday round the corner... gotta restock on my contacts lenses soon also.... and the list continues.

never tired of ubin..

eeeks! removed my message board coz it had some spam sex messages!! eeeks...! how did it get there man!! gross.. oh yes..my yahoo account is infested with spam mails... can get like 100s of junk mails in a few days.. it's crazy.



anyway.. the main point was that i took the final step to escape from the clutches of the devil called procrastination.... finally blew up some pics i took in turkey and framed it up in the frames i bought from ikea.. been 3 months since my trip lo. long time eh.

~tada! should autograph my big name on the pics!...when i'm feeling poor...i shall aim to sell it to make ends meet.... hmm~

~went ubin for a cycling cum discovery channel nature trip..yep..got jason n nadia to go along.. and was pretty fun! saw hermit crabs..for the 1st time in my life.. s.k. rite. hah. got a nice tan and great workout.. the number of slopes we encountered were crazy...we take a deep breath and close our eyes and cycle with all our might. but me n nadia ended up pushing our bikes at some point. still...really love doing outdoor stuff like dat.we decided that we should do this more often! we had the emperor's noodles, recommended by zhen, before we left for home~

no reservations

No reservations was such a touching show…loved the way they crafted the relationship between Catherine and the little girl..

Gotta take a break from all the typing and sending of emails.. if you want me to give you 1 word off hand now. I’ll spit out “Innovation!” without hesitation. Yep.. as an ambassador, I’ll have to say public service do emphasize a lot on promoting innovation and motivating staff to innovate to value add to the services we provide. The cause of my busy days… and also the reason why I’m gainfully employed at the moment.

Went gym alone during lunch today coz my colleagues suddenly felt lazy. Hoping not to sound too much like a health freak, exercising has become part of my life now. I do feel uneasy or lethargic if I haven’t been jogging.

A bit antisocial it may sound, but I do prefer to go gym alone. no need to wait for ppl, finish workout then go buy my lunch from tekka market.. snuggle at my workstation to eat my vegetarian beehoon. Listen to my mp3. Really enjoyable…rather than squeezing with the crowd at kopitiams or dining at some fancy place.

One of my colleague asked me if I’m going lunch, I told her outright that I’m going gym. Though she’s lunching alone, but I made no offer to skip my gym and go with her. Was just thinking that if it was me say few years ago, I would have obliged her coz paiseh. Nowadays I can’t really be bothered.. I do what makes me happy! Happy-ING! Applying what mayday taught me. Heh.

Meeting dg tonight!! He was in Perth for his grad ceremony for a week…went to fetch him from the airport and only when I saw him, I knew that I really missed him so much. Musssshy! But yes.. I did.. ^_^

The choc dg got for moi.. so sweeeet! He said it was from a choc factory they visited… wondering how long I can keep it.. too pretty to devour it. But also curious as to whether it taste as good as it looks!

my new baby!

went ikea with mr scagger yesterday and we were just chatting about my slow hangy computer.. was induced by his reasonings that laptops are better than desktops and saves space...mobile...blah blah.. so.. happened to drop by The Challenger...and got further duped by the salesguy... result... busted $1600 on a Compaq Presario V3410 !http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/sg/en/ho/WF06b/1090709-1116637-1123071-1123071-1123071-80399812-80443784.html

my new baby! hehe. still using my old comp now as still charging the lappy. Was quite a good deal I thot..$200 cash off.. was within my budget and of coz i signed up for the instalment plan. and according to that guy, it was the last piece.. i just had to get it. ha.

time for me to get a new comp of my own coz been using my bro's recycled comps..will be giving my auntie this comp coz she wants to learn how to use the internet.

can't wait to get rid of the bulky CPU n monitor from my room..! free up more spaceeeee.

it's rainy and it's sunday night.. the mc-ing feeling is coming back....strong.

i felt the earth move...

I felt the tremors of the quake! omg! yes..suaku me speaking. was makaning at bugis coffeeshop when i felt like i was floating and giddy. i thought it was the lime juice which i was drinking. and just as i was bloggin about motion sickness in my last post... yep..for a person who has a GREAT sense of balance.. this tremor really did it. i was motion sick.

saw the news and was recorded a 7.9 scale earthquake in West Sumatra... 7.9! can imagine the damage... can't help but always feel lucky that I live in Singapore.

and i bumped into an old St Nicks classmate..Wee May! haha.. i was at the prudential booth coz naz wanted to look for his agent... and Wee May happened to be working as an agent as well.. caught up for awhile and off she was selling her products to other customers.. she still looks very much the same except she's became prettier and super talkative now! yep..she used to be so timid, shy n quiet...ahmad, babu n maria would know la.

The world is just too small.

Anyway, just busted my bling blings on mooncakes!! Bought a box for my grandma and naz’s family.. hopefully it’s nice! The hotels came our company to promote mooncakes...20% discount ne..but didn’t buy the goodwood park D24 durian snow skin one coz can only keep for 3days! So…

Had a relief kickboxing instructor yesterday..and he’s so super funny. Comedian la him. His looks remind me of those malay dramas, the bad guys with floppy oily hair on riding a scrambler and with a parang in his hand…ready to biah water.

He was more like doing cheerleading than KB.. doing war-cries at the top of his lungs as he executes each boxing move. You know those sound effects you hear from boxers. Can’t believe we all got influenced by his goading and I actually did a “wa.oah!” pretty loudly. I was stunned.

Then, he imitated our girly moves when we were boxing and it was just hilarious. exaggerated is his middle name!

I was laughing through out the whole session and it was nice for a change. But can’t imagine having him as my instructor coz can imagine his jokes will more or less become stale.He made us kick so much that I nearly suffered from a leg cramp lor..

Still prefer my female instructor.. Juliana.. please come back next week!

the truth about motion sickness

people who suffers from motion sickness are those who have a good sense of balance..or equilibrium.

can't remember where I heard from..either radio or tv. but find it quite true! I do think i have a good sense of balance. hardly need to stand near railings or hold onto railings in trains... and i can stand on 1 leg without much prob...able to walk on narrow beams without swaying about too drastically.....

yep..i suffer from bad motion sickness...seasick is the worst motion sickness for me..then comes airsickness... bus n car not so..unless i take my auntie's car...she jerks way too much..



been a busy week as usual..praying for the weekend to come..went prawning on sunday again.. ha.. actually enjoying it..really takes some skill n practise.. but still found it too cruel to eat those prawns I fished..soI shall just eat the prawns my mum buys.



check out 2 the largest prawns we caught!!

oopps..and the overdue bowling pics... n DnD

die hard 4

stole my bro's die hard4 dvd to watch..been hearing all the talk about how hard it was for bruce to die..how the film should be renamed as "really very hard to die4". despite all the jokes, everyone agreed that the action bit was commendable... so i've been wanting to watch in the movies but whole world seemed to have watched it.! sigh.

so me n naz were basically potatoes for the day. bought donuts..yes..yes..our rolling companions in shopping malls, neighbourhoods... dOnuts are like everywhere.. it's hard to find people walking around without a donut box.! okay la..abit kua zhang but u get my point. they ARE everywhere.

The ones we bought were from a new shop outside hougang mall...everyone is taking the chance to ride on the donut fad. The quality of the donuts was pretty good...even better than donut factory! abit denser and texture finer... exactly how i like it! yummy.

oohh... digressed too much. yep..we bought donuts.. chilli tapicoca chips..and all these were on top of the pepper lunch we had.

to top it all...die hard was good!! i regret to say that i haven't watched a single die hard movie before... think i'll prob try to rent it or smthg. heh. the famous scene where the car flew towards bruce but was cushioned by 2 cars which were so strategically positioned, missing bruce by a hairline.... woah...am impressed.and we rewinded that part like 3 times and watched with our mouths gaped in awe.. waaaaa. thumbs up.

really enjoying just nua-ing at home catching my tvb serials.. eat, sleep, watch tv... and i can foresee sunday will be spent in a similar way.. happy-ING.

we are the champs..

beginning to like my work environment a little more.. love the accessibility of my workplace.. abit more familiar with my job scope so less blur...know more pple so easier to chase for stuff... i like how i can prioritise my work... it's crazy but i do like the writing part of my job...

beginning to like this phase of my life more.. might be the company i'm enjoying.. my group of gal frens... some newfound friends....my bf... the interaction with my family....my kickboxing lessons... my tv shows...

aiya..enuff of these sniff sniff emo crap mochi! brrrr.

Just back from my group's annual bowling tournament! and my team was the champ!! yoohhooo..haha.. i bowled extremely well today...keke. dunno why..considering i'm supposed to be sick with blocked nose, blocked ears.... okay la..the credit goes to this guy in my team who strike almost all the way... heh. fun fun event la..

dinner was arranged at the Gayathri Restaurant.... and there was just too much food leftover...not that it wasn't nice..but we over ordered.. my colleagues dabao like 2 big plastic bags worth of food home... btw..the food was great and the amount i ate was way too much for someone who's sick..urgh.

diet...diet.. is my daily resolution which never came true.

it's wednesday tomorrow.. !!

the truth about advertising....crazy people..

attended a course yesterday and the trainer played this 1990 movie by the late dudley moore called "Crazy People"...it's a satire about the advertising world and it's hilarious.. real good. think i'll go rent the movie or something..only managed to find a short clip on youtube...



wondering if i would be well enuff to go D & D later..nose totally blocked and don't think can smell durians even if you dangle them in front of me.

watched 1408 yesterday....and it's like so crappy. it's one of those movies which we watch, leave the theatre with 0 urge to discuss about it. disappointed la..the trailers look so exciting.well...the trailers already showed about all the best parts of the movie liao.
