My new blackie gadget

I hasn’t been going to the IT show for quite some time. It just happened that I might have something on like for example : mock exams or that I can’t fork out the time to go coz I already have plans with friends.

I always wanted to buy a external hard disk as I find that my computer hard disk storage space was not enough. Too many videos, movies, photos! N I need a backup too, just in case if my computer went cranky, my data are not affected as it already been safely backup beforehand. Has also been hearing that it is going at a cheap rate as compared to before. Hahaa.. Actually all gadgets prices plunged quite fast after some times in the market. It just a matter of whether is the price within your budget and afford it. As usual, priorities differ from individual.

Anyway, thanks to Cindy and Bs, they offered to help me look out and went through all the trouble of queuing up and comparing the different hard disk brands and prices( I have a budget to keep to). Really appreciate their help as I know the crowds can be quite overwhelming over at the IT fair during weekends. Hehee.

Great! Just got my hard disk from them. Now I can start storing all my precious data one by one then. Did I mention that I like my hard disk size? It’s really very small and handy!

CNY gathering 2008

The plan of having steamboat at Nelly’s place was unsuccessful because her hubby was on duty today, thus she’s unable to prepare the ingredients as she got to take care of Yan yan. Therefore, we decided to meet up for lunch at Sembanwang Sakae Sushi today.

::Chio Mother and Daughter ::

After that, we "ta bao" yusheng to her place! Our first and my first"lo he" of the year sia! I thought it will be my one and only one during CNY 2008. But only then i realise that I'm having the 2nd "lo he" session at home too when my mum called me to go home earlier to "lo he" with them.

::The gals preparing to pour the ingredients::

:: Looks Yummy::

Huat ah!! May all of us strike 4D,toto, big sweep! May those who are married and getting married have kids soon and for the rest of us who are still single, find our Mr right soon! Hope I can pass my 2nd year modules and have flying colors! May all of us have good health and also have a good career path from now onwards! Last but not least, may good luck follow us in whatever we do!

Alin

失戀無罪 sang by 梁文音 during 超級星光大道 PK competition season 1, caught my attention when I first heard it. Her vocals were damn powerful and good. Even the judges were impressed by it and commented that she’s a natural n could reaches the high pitch easily unlike other people who need to practices level by level according to the professional training. And I think she's one of the contestant in 超級星光大道 season 2 too.

Sang by 梁文音


The original singer of this song was Alin, 黄丽玲(quite a common Chinese name) and she has an amazing voice like ah mei. Maybe because she’s a原住民歌手too, that’s why she has such a natural powerful vocal.. But the funny part is for such a good vocal singer, I never heard her song often in 93.3 as she wasn’t quite popular. If I didn’t heard this song during competition, I wouldn’t have know her existence.

Here's the song 失戀無罪.



Here's another of one of her nice song. 四季

P.s : pls click on 失戀無罪 to view the music video of Alin in ASOS instead. The user didn't include any video embeded code in youtube.

鼠年大年初一

Not much of 新年气氛 this year sia. Maybe I’m getting older le and there isn’t anything much to anticipate during the house visiting excepts the ang baos. I remember when I was young, I would be playing toys with my cousins at one corner while our parents play mj or blackjack. But as we grew up, we seem to be stranger as we only met once a year, thus gradually there was nothing much to talk with them. I expect it will be another boring CNY day 1 again. But I was wrong. Haa…

My cousins and I decided to play MJ as they also just learn how to play it recently. As we are all beginners, I dun feel much stress playing with them as MJ can be quite mind taxing when playing with 高手. This becomes our ice-breaking game as we make causal small talks during the game. We didn’t manage to finish the game as one of them has to go off with his parents for another house visiting. Oh well, I think for the coming years, MJ can be included to play to kill time during our CNY gathering at granny’s house le.

I also went to watch Kungfu Dunk alone (My first attempt) at AMK hub. Jay chou acted very mischievous and 耍宝in some scenes but I feel that zeng zhi wei is the most funniest character in the show. He’s a natural comedian! Watch this show if you are interested in basketball and Jay chou then.

祝大家鼠年快乐! 事事顺利! May lady luck smile on us more!

Movie price increase

From 31^st Jan onwards, I heard from the radio this morning that there will be a price increase for Cathay cinema shows. Gosh.. the movies tickets are getting more and more costly. Watching a general movie during weekend is going to be $10! Pengz…got to be selective to watch movies from now onwards.

Well, the general ticket prices are upped by 50 cents (a 6% increase) while a new Blockbuster tier has been introduced where tickets to selected movie titles will be increased by an additional 50 cents. Can refer to this link for more updates

: http://www.cathay.com.sg/news/news_jan30_2008.html.

Why is the prices increasing everywhere? Even the food that I’m having during my lunch break has increased price recently too… Why aren’t our pay increment increasing tremendously? Sianz…

Although I’m not a big fan of watching movies but it’s one of the few entertainment activities that sometimes we can go for during gatherings. Maybe hanging out in café and gossiping with friends is more cost-saving than going for movies in the future. Lol

But meanwhile, even before this price hikes news, I’m already thinking to watch either Stephen Chow(长江七号) or Kungfu Dunk acted by Jay chou. See how first... if I can find kaki to go along, I might watch it.. haha

2008 brides

These last 2 days had been busy accompanying Cindy & Shufen to choose their wedding photos and wedding gowns respectively. I love giving my opinion on these kind of stuffs. Guess it's my interest to 研究.

Looking at Cindy’s wide range of photos selection, we knew it will be a challenge to choose the 65 photos out of 200+ photos. Ahhh, dolling up like a princess and having a chance to be treated like a celebrity, is really seems so fun. Esp when the photos turned out great, can see the happiness on their faces. According to them, the whole thing lasted from morning till night fall. But it was definitely worth it even though they were tired and Cindy fall sick after that too. If one day when my turns comes and if got chance, it would be cool to have the photoshoots oversea. But I heard it's rather ex la. Just hoping again...

As for Shufen, it was a pity that I forgot to charge my camera and my Hp that day, otherwise I would have took some photos of shufen in her gowns. Hahaa…It’s quite rare to see her in girly attire as she has a rather weird fashion sense and she seldom puts on makeup. Hmm, I would say she’s more of a sporty kind of gal, who is rather different from the rest of us in the gang. Thus, we are rather glad to accompany her along to choose her gown. Anyway, I left for class in the midst of choosing and met them again after my class ends. Turned out that she only managed to choose 2 sets and had to go back again. Blame it on their few selections. Well, it’s better to choose the nicest gowns if there is chance since already pay for so much.

Both of them asked me to be their sisters and tt will be going to be my 5th & 6th time le. OMG! So many times liao. Pengz. Sigh… actually I do mind being sisters so many times. But for my two good friends, I agreed.

Hahaa. Oh well, my last time will be reserved for Sihan as we both have discussed it before. Lol.. Shall look forwards to the sisters meeting to sambo their hubbies then. Hiak Hiak….

Hopes for 2008

A new year. A new beginning. Times flies fast when people are getting older. That’s how I feel. During school times, the June & Dec school holiday always seem to take very long to arrive. But now, one year passes very fast after another. And my age is going to change from 2X to 3X soon. I don’t wannnntttt!!!! Can time stop?!?! Hahaa..

Anyway I’m going to set some resolutions for this year so that when I looked back my life, at least I accomplished some of my goals in life.

a) Lose 5kgs by exercising. Swimming is probably the best form of exercise for me. I can’t jog as I pant very easily.

b) Pass my second year modules and get some of my desired gradings.

c) Visit Sihan in UK with Bee & Meizhi this year. Hope that this trip will not be delay anymore.

d) Try to read widely as many as possible to improve my English and knowledge.

That’s all I can think of now.

For 2008, I also look forward to attend my 3 close’s friend’s weddings. Friends are important to me. I don’t need many of them. Just a few close friends will do and I really cherish them. Only close friends will share the happiest and sad moments in your life.

I do feel the gap widening when some of my close gal friends got married or even have kids of their own. Although we are not close as compared as before, hope that at least we can try to catch up during gatherings at times.

But seem like during gatherings, the topics brought up were very different too, somehow feel very distant and strange to me. Because nowadays it’s about renovation, buying furniture/flats and discussing about their kids talk. The topic might be common to discuss for those couples who are getting married or already married. At times, I do feel alienated. It’s not a very nice feeling to be sitting there listening to their talks when you do not know what to contribute.

When I try talking about my own stuff, seem like it was gone unheard. Esp when most of them are in pairs n I’m the only single. Oh well, guess that can’t be helped. Just don't ignore my presence.

Anyway hopefully, I will be able to fulfill my resolutions this year. Achieving it will give me a sense of achievement and makes my life happier. Cheers!

Dinner gathering

Yesterday buffet dinner at dawn's house was really delicious! No kidding! Every dishes were so yummy. Next time can just order from this cater(neo garden) for future house gathering.. Haha..




Oh ya.. Sihan is back in sg for a short vacation too! Just in time to join in the annual xmas gift exchange. She even bought us mini cute "cake" lipgloss. So sweet! Mine is the cream tart.

This year, I gotten a green sling bag from Bee. Something different from my bags collection.

Xmas mood

Yeah~ My xmas shopping is almost done! Looking forward to this sat & next weekend xmas gathering with friends. Most exciting part is the yummy food that we will be having and of coz the gift exchange session which is a must every year! Oh well, so much for dieting. That one really got to wait till this lovely season is over first.

Anyway for this year, the budget has been set to S$20 for every present which is easier to get rather than having a headache to think what to get for a S$15 present. For cel’s house gathering, I still haven’t thought of what to get yet coz it need to be a unisex item. Duhz. One week left for me to get. How how? *Panic*

I haven’t seen little Ziv ever since his baby shower in August. Looking at the recent photos of him in cel’s blog, he turned to be so chubby le! So different! Really feel like pinching his fat fat cheeks( Haha.. typical auntie behavior! Opps). Meanwhile, I can’t tell who he resembles now. Perhaps wait till he’s 1 year old, it will be easier to tell. Babies grow up real fast with good nutrients! :P

要快乐得活着才是对的

所谓「己所不欲，勿施于人」，就是用自己的心推及别人；自己希望怎样生活，就想到别人也会希望怎样生活；自己不愿意别人怎样对待自己，就不要那样对待别人.

换句话说就是:自己不喜欢的就不要勉强别人.

Some people are just like that! They themselves do it without noticing that they are causing hurt to others. And if someone else does the same back to them, they will flare up. There is such a person in my company. No one can tell her what to do and there’s no room for discussion. Oh well, there will always be give and take situation. We are just giving her face by giving way to her. If she is happy, we will have a better life. The others like to please her by giving her gifts during her birthday but not me. I don’t do that as I don’t see the need.

Everyday, I look at her. She’s always in a grumpy face and complaining that she’s being ill-treated by our bosses when she got the upper hand controlling the flow in the company. A person who always like to compare and never-satisfied with her own life. Everyone has problem of their own. It’s how you deal with it. Hmm, although that’s a common problem in all of us- always comparing with others, I think if staying positive and trying to be self-contented with it, life wouldn’t be so bad. In fact, she’s living in a landed property and holding a high post with 2 clever kids, yet still wants to complain more and make people’s life miserable when she’s unhappy. Anyway money is never enough. Even if she strike lottery and have a few millions on hand, I guess she still never be satisfied. I conclude that it’s the character problem as she 看不得别人好过她. So Petty, selfish and unreasonable!

说者无意, 听者有意 also apply to her too. She get mad up at that person when she misinterpret the conversation. Thus talking to her is quite difficult as she gets the wrong idea at times. Sigh. Only she is right. All of us are wrong. No one can out-talk her. Winner loh.

Life is short. Seeing her like this, she seems to be living everyday in frustration and in pretence. 何苦呢? I definitely wouldn’t want to be like her at all. I just want myself and my friends to be happy living on and show care and concern for others.

Dreamy state

I hate Monday! First day of the week for work. Sometimes I tends to have Monday blue n today is one of the days that I’m feeling really lousy. Although I slept all the way from 11.30pm to 6.30am this morning, I still feel really exhausted. Why? Because I’m dreaming the whole freaking night! Well, I still remember some bits & pieces of my dreams last night. That’s not a good sign. It means I haven’t been sleeping well as the mind is working actively.

Sigh.. I think there’s something terribly wrong in my body. I always feel tired no matter how long I slept. During the day, I can only stay awake for a short period of time and sometimes after some hours later, you will realize that I will become very quiet and don’t talk much. It’s because my mind is “shut down” and don’t wish to comment much. But my ears are still opens la. Sometimes during gathering, I went home early as I don’t have the mood to hang around as I’m so tired. No point damping other’s people’s mood, looking at my "sian" face. Of course, it depends on the crowds I’m hanging out with as well. For example, for my poly gang, I’m closer to Ade and Jess. So if they are not around, I wouldn’t want to hang out with the other guys.

Anyway, I thought of taking Chinese herbs or medicine to strengthen my body. It’s not good to feel tired all the time. That’s not the way it’s supposed to be. I’m supposed to be actively interacting with people and be chirpy! N not like someone who looks tired with panda eyes (I think it will be there for my whole life). Hmm, I do know that Chinese medicine have to take for a long period of time like 1 or 2 years, depending on the body condition. So it’s better to consult a doctor who’s good and if you happened to know of any good doctors around, do let me know then

Battles between the sexes

Met up with fen-mei for gym work-out at california yesterday. Such a long time since I've been jogging. But mi start at a low speed and managed to jog for around 20 mins. And now my tights is aching... Hahaa.. Guess I need more time to get used by jogging more frequently.

After supper at coffee-club, we came across this special event "MediaCorp Radio Subaru Impreza Challenge 2007 " held outside NAC. I remembered reading the newspaper that the final winner will get to win the car if he/she was to endure placing his hand on the car till the very last min. But of coz it wasn't so easy. It was a test of tolerance and patience.

My first time viewing the actual battlefield for this compeition. There were also supporters of the participants over there. The first rows was meant for male contestants and the 2nd rows for the female contestant. All total, there was around 10 cars. We noticed that some of the hand prints are already empty. Oh well, it was not easy placing your hand at a pt for hours and 9 hrs had already passed.

That guy's thights was already numbed for standing so long .


Imagine there is only a break of 5 mins to eat and go to the loo for 4 time intervals within a day. It's 1am, 7am, 1pm and 7pm! Duhz... Lack of rest, water, sleep and bath is really torturing, esp for gals. So, determination and preservance is really important. Let's hope there will not be rainy days for them durin this tough period. Otherwise it will add on to their misery.

3 angmoh assholes!

I'm so pissed off after watching this video that Han send me!!! 3 big sized ang mos trying to bully and mock an old man in his 70s!! I hope they get the retribution when they get old themselves!!!! Firstly they mock at the speed he's riding - at 2 miles per hour! Well, it's not one person on one trishaw! It's 3 of them on it loh and they dare to say that.. Assholes!

Poor old man did not know what they are laughing and laugh along with them, thinking that they has enjoyed taking the ride.

The most infuriating part is they still got the cheeks to reduce the ride payment from $10 to $5 in the end! They should have just give the poor old man more than that! The way he try to pedal the whole journey is really heart-wrecking! How can they treat him like this? Arghhh... Bastards!! Shame on them! Think we singaporeans are easy to bully! Don't let us see you guys in singapore again! I'm sure a lot of other people will be furious when they see this videos as well.

93.3 金曲奖

This year 93.3 金曲奖 was really draggy and it went on for 4 hours! So many awards to give out to those artistes (I think, there was only around 15 of them) who attend this ceremony. As usual, the no. of awards given out was commented like “分猪肉”. And it’s true loh! For example, 最佳新人奖 – there are 4 of them who got it! Pengz.

1) 迷路兵

2) 石欣卉

3) 蔡旻佑

4) 飞轮海

What’s the point of having 4 people/ group having the same award?!?!

Labeled as 新人 and being as新人is only once in the celebrity’s journey. If unable to win it, it means there is no such chance as they are not considered as新人 anymore. So whoever is the lucky winner is an indication to others that his/her effort is being recognized and will be groomed as the next 天后天 王. It’s a motivation to them as well. Now there is so many people wining it at the same time, it did seem like “分猪肉” in my opinion.

Anyway apart of the crap part, I really enjoyed the live singing of Angela, Fang Da Tong, Sun yan zi and迷路兵!

However, the star of the night was飞轮海. Their fans immediately rush to the fence surrounding the stage once it’s their turn to perform. At that moment, I’m really glad that I’m seated in the VVIP area as it’s such a pleasure that my view will not be blocked by any crazy fans who will be screaming at the top of their voice. And the best part is that I can even view Wu Zhun within 1km away from where I’m seated.

Just a pity that I don’t have the chance to shake hand or take picture with him even though we are so nearby.

So many security guards and reporters around them so better don’t take the chance. I don’t wish to appear in the newspaper header and labeled as one of the crazy fans! Haha…

I only want to catch a glimpse of him. That’s all.

吴尊! 你本人真的好帅!

Sinful habits

Gosh! I’m so addicted to Ben and Jerry’s ice-cream these few weeks.

There have been attractive promotion on it at the supermarket and 7-11.

As a result, I feel so bloated and fat from trying out the different flavours!

Sian… the dream of my ideal weight is becoming so far from now.

Got to start some exercise activity to shed off the excess fats!

减肥开始!

Yippee

I have been so damn nervous ever since on Monday when I heard that the result will be released anytime. My school mates and I were all discussing and fearing for the worst if we didn’t do well for our paper. My worst fear was that I am prepared to fail at least 2 subjects. Anything more than that means I’m not suitable to carry on le. Of course I was hoping to pass everything if possible too. The more I think, the more scared I am. The most sucky thing is that why SIM students can managed to view their result online using their student portal on Tuesday but not my school! Lousy loh.. they should spend money to design an online system sia. … What to do? So the only choice is to wait, wait N wait “ patiently”.

I was half happy and relieved when I heard that my school finally got the result on hand yesterday, so being a “kiasu” me, I took ½ day leave to go down to the school. Haha.. I don’t care as I didn’t have much work on hand too. I just want to know how I fare! Face the truth and get it done over with asap!

Luckily all the fears were unwanted! Yeah! I passed all my 1st year modules and now officially is a 2nd yr student le. Woo Hoo~ I can’t believe my ears when my lecturer praised me that I passed, even the econ and stats that I’m so worried about. Yeah~ Now I have a rough idea of knowing where my standards lie. I know I will have to put in more effort if I want to get the grade that I hope to get. As over the past 2 months, not knowing how the 1st year modules result will turn out to be, I didn’t have the mood and so slack in my 2nd year studies. Lazy bum hor~ now is time to start on my engine and be a nerdy student again. Hahaa...

20th August

Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday happy birthday! Happy birthday to me!

Wahaha.. another year older le N I don’t feel like I’m 26 at all! Ha. Went for lunch gathering with sjcians yesterday at suntec sizzler and we ate our buffet lunch from 1pm to 4pm! Really damn full! But it was really worthy to eat at sizzler as there’s a salad bar full of different variety of soups, veggies and spaghetti! Was already half full eating that before our main dishes were served.Yummy~

This time gathering was a bit different as shufen brought desmond along and bee brought Jiehao. Hehee… I think it’s a good idea to bring them more often so that all of us wont be so much of a stranger during future gathering when they got married in the end.

Today I was having lunch with jesslyn when I heard a good news! Baby Reyes came into this world a day earlier and it was actually planned tomorrow! Hahaa… born on the same say as me. What a pleasant surprise! Always been guessing whether will it be so coincidence that baby reyes will be born on my birthday as there were so many days in august. Welcome to this world! Ade’s little prince~

One time is enough

There are moments that your friends or relatives or even colleagues will ask you the same questions again n AGAIN. It can be really “FAN” to answer esp when you yourself are worried about the matter. Recently, the question of “How are your result?” was keep asking by my surrounding friends for months. Pls give me a break bah! I haven’t got it yet and I’m worried over the result too.

I’m a person that if I feel like saying something out. I would say it. If not, no matter how much you want to know, I wouldn’t say it out too. Sometimes when I got irritated, I would even go the opposite way of what people tell mi what to do. So if I got it, I will reveal the results myself. If not, pls do not keep asking me about it because it also means I’m not ready to reveal it yet. I’m not sure and confident to say how I would fare for the overall result. Its very mind- taxing as it makes me feel that everyone is watching how I perform. I’m sure some of you got secrets of your own and also do not like others probing your private life as well right? When it’s time to tell, I would say.

Therefore, I really do not want others to keep asking, thus I have began to start passing the message around in MSN – DO not ASK about it le!

Give me some breathing space and privacy!

Amazing

I heard his name over 93.3 this morning while i was on my way to work today. And i'm curious to find out more about him. Paul Pots from britan took part in a singing competition and it changed his life.

I'm never a fan of opera but his voice blew my mind away! He truly has an amazing voice which even Simon, one of the judges, did not expect it too. Looks are really deciving. I guess no one at the audition room would ever thought that this common-looking guy would have such a great talent. He looks just like any ordinary people on the street. His dreams of becoming a singer is finally coming true as he emerged as the final winner of BGT(Britan Great Talent)! Wooo... and he even gets the chance to perform for the queen to enjoy his singing!

Waste of time

Some people just like to dwell on a certain issue for ages and can still discuss and talk about it over a million times! What’s there to talk about when it’s all past issue? I think these people are too free and just like to gossip about those nonsense stuff. Maybe their lifes are too bored liao. Simply no life! Arghh…. And they always seem to be talking nonstop and at the top of their voice too. So damn noisy! How can they work and talk at the same time? I wonder is their work performance is 100% error free...

Sometimes they also like to make comparison of past and present issue too! Duhz... Hey does it makes u guys feel better thinking of the sweet old past ah? What’s over is over. Things have changed and there is no point comparing! Can’t stand their hypocritical behavior. The way they laugh and the way they act. Gosh. *rolling my eyes*. That why I always don’t like to take part in their silly talk. Only waste my breath and brain cells. I can’t bring myself to be a fakie too. The worst thing is that they would only keep their mouth shut only when the big boss is sitting around and they will pretend to be so damn busy, slamming the cabinet doors so hard. Scared no one know that you r so hard-working issit? When the big boss is not around, they take their own sweet time to do things and begin their round of silly debating again. Wah biang.. I seriously rather spend my time chatting to my dear friends in msn during work. I can’t stand here anymore and the sad thing is that I only got one phone call so far. It’s been 5 years and I do not want to waste any more time here anymore.

Someone! Pleassseee give me a brand new environment to work in!

Although I wanted to go on a holiday badly, but I think this is a rather bad time as I only have 2 ½ days leave left. I rather save it for interviews rather than using unpaid leave meaning I have to fork out extra money for holidaying. All I want now is to leave here within these 2 months. I can always make holidaying plan when my new job is confirmed and I hope it will be soon.

超級星光大道

I’m so addicted watching their performance at youtube. As I always like to listen to live performance and live concert, I’m enjoying this every minute of it. The vocal power of the remaining few participants left in this competition are so powerful, even better than our participants in all the superstar competitions. NO kidding! They are all so emotional too, cried easily when their friends kena kicked out of the competition. But this is how a competition works. Only the fittest is able to survive till the end.

One of my fav. participants is 楊宗緯. His songs can really touch your heart while listening to it. So damn touching! Can cry if listen to it at the right mood. Hahaa..
He’s one of the hot favorites in Taiwan but recently, he was banned off the competition because he lied and fake his age as 24 while his actual age is 29. Gosh! He even tampered this for his identity card as well. Not exactly sure how he change it but it was a serious offence. Sigh .. Lost his chance of winning the prize and a one year contract with the recording company. But he will not be forgotten as I believe that he will have a chance to produce his own album as he’s so popular with the public. Even though it’s not easy to make a public apology about his acts, he mastered his courage and did it. I’m sure all will be forgiven. In my opinion, age does not hinder whether a person can become a singer. What matters most is whether he got the potential. And he really does have it!
Check out this video if you don’t believe it.




Another of my favorite video performed by 林宥嘉



He’s only 19 years old and getting better in his every performance. Now without楊宗緯 around, I hope he really emerge as the final winner! He got the boyish looks and the voice. He deserves to win! 我看好他!
Another 2 more episodes and all will be revealed.

No choice

Why is this happening every 2 or 3 months?? I hate having sore throat which would led to body aching and feeling feverish too. I know it’s not good to eat antibiotics all the time but the pain and dryness of the throat just wouldn’t go away easily. Arghh.

So today while others are having fun outside with their friends or with hubby or boyfriends, I’m copped at home, resting loh. My throat hurts a lot and I don’t feel like chatting much too. Thus I rather spend the day clearing up my room and watch HEROS. It was a show that follows the lives of ordinary people who discover they possess extraordinary abilities. Got quite a few gross scenes with ripped bodies and some vicitims with their brain cut into half. Yucks. Of coz I dun watch too much of those scenes. I only just catch a small glimpse of the horrible scenes behind my pillow as usual. The reason why I “dared” to continue watching was that this show really got a good storyline and I’m curious how the ending going to be too. Wanna know more about this show?

Here’s the link to the official website.
http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/

Actually even before watching this show, sometimes I also tend to wonder are there really people with extraordinary power existing in this reality world. Maybe people with psychic power do exist? Hmm, but I haven’t bump into this kind of people yet. I guess their life will be keep under wraps too. Who would want to invite trouble into their lifes? Well, that’s just one of my silly thoughts again. Can ignore this part. Haha..

Mayday rocks

My turn to have a headache when I wake up this morning. Haha.. Coz I slept over 12 hrs. I was so damn tired and just sleep on as today was a Sunday! Usually I would wake up around 9 plus, but not today. I need some beauty sleep. Meizhi commented that my eyes look terribly yesterday when we meet up to watch Mayday’s concert .

The Mayday concert was held at Max pavilion, Expo. It was around the area where I was having my exams 2 weeks ago. Although I wasn’t really a fan of Mayday but the tickets were free. So I don’t mind to tag along to watch the concert. Hehe.. There was a stall selling their tee-shirt and other souvenir such as mouse pad, targeted at Mayday’s fans. One of the T-shirts that was design by ah xin, actually cost S$60 loh! So damn expensive~ The concert organizer sure know how to make money out of those loyal fans.
At least the t-shirt that Meizhi bought is more justify.

As compared to concerts holding at national stadium, the concert area wasn’t very big. Sitting at the back rows of the hall, we can barely see their faces but luckily there was projector screen at each side of the hall. Mayday concert is a blast, they know how to make the audiences very participative and involved as most of their songs are very fast and rock kind. There was a lot of hokkien songs which I’m quite alien to it. Haha.. Overall, I really enjoyed myself at this concert and in order to avoid missing the last train, we left early. 真是开心的夜晚!

Ah xin is so cute in this mtv. Take a look at it!

Freedom at last!

I'm back!! Been a really long time since I blogged. Was really busy preparing for exams earlier on and didn’t have much mood to blog too. N now my exams is finally over! Yeah!

It’s been such a torture for me to coop myself at home for that one month but I made it through. Anyway I try my best for my exams. The rest is up to God. I also hope to pass all at one attempt. Who in the right mind, would want to repeat a module that cost S$500!?!? Waste of time , effort and money!

Yesterday was my first meet up with the sjcian gals after so long! We went to watch Spiderman 3 before meeting the others for dinner. I was quite anticipated to watch this show but in the end I find that spiderman 3 was a bit draggy and wasn’t as nice as compared to episode 1 & 2. But I’m glad that Harry, spiderman’s best buddy, finally understand the fact that Peter wasn’t the one that caused his dad’s death. It was a mistake all along. To have your own best friend turning against you is an awful thought. Misunderstanding between friends should clear up asap before it’s impossible to clear up the big mess that have rolled up into a big snowball. Got to give and take too.

There’s so many movies that I want to watch this coming June!
- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
- Shrek 3
- Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer

Going to enjoy myself to the fullest before the new school terms starts. Haha.
Shall plan a trip soon if there’s no news of my new job… :)

The meaning of my birthdate

Your Birthdate: August 20

You are a virtual roller coaster of emotions, and most people enjoy the ride. Your mood tends to set the tone of the room, and when you're happy, this is a good thing. When you get in a dark mood, watch out - it's very hard to get you out of it. It's sometimes hard for you to cheer up, and your gloom can be contagious. Your strength: Your warm heart Your weakness: Trouble controlling your emotions Your power color: Black Your power symbol: Musical note Your power month: February

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Aries angel

Guess who is she? Hahaa.... She's Jess's little gal! Her due delivery was actually 2 weeks later but guess she's too anxious to come into this world le . So yesterday she finally came into this new world. Happen that it was my godsis's birthday as well too! So qiao...

Look! What big lovely eyes that she possess , same as jess & mike's. I only managed to carry her for a while and she started crying le. Oh well, she need times to adapt in this new environment and us bah. And she hasn't got a name yet. Jess will update me on this again. So for the time being, I shall call her "Miss Lim"... Wahaha... sounds so funny.

Just now Jess was telling me about the whole process. I must say that she was really brave and endure the pain for almost 8 hrs before she took the epidural! Power sia... I salute to her! It sound so scary and agonizing. But i guess it was all worth-while when her little princess was finally delivered smoothly. That's the beauty of being a mum. 妈妈是最伟大的! Making sacrifice for their kids without any regrets. Babies grow real fast. I'm sure I won't recognise her for her baby shower next month. By that time, I will also be having my 3rd paper too. Wonder can i make it too. Hmm.. shall see how things goes then.

Anyway, welcome to this new world, "Miss Lim"!

Jimmy and Ade

Here are some of ade's wedding pic. hehe.. Lovely outdoor scenery, right? I must say that their photographer is really experienced and done a great job. There was 300 pics in total and some of the outdoor photographs were really fanatastic.

Although photo-taking session were spread over a couple of days and made them quite tiring, both of them were very pleased with all the photos turn-out It was all worth it. Hehe. Happy news is that, Ade is now 4th month pregnant le, wonder will it be a bb boy or bb gal? It will be known soon. Then can start preparing to buy the necessities for the newborn too.

Hana Kimi 花样少年少女

Watching this after work really makes me feel happier as there’s a lot of scenes that are really funny. And today is the last episode le… Pengz.. So fast! And I can’t watch it at home as classes are resuming from this week onward. Oh well, luckily Mum will tape it for me.

Before I was hooked on this show, I heard of 飞轮海 before and took notice of them because of this song - 只对你有感觉 ( with Hebe). Great song and music video~
Actually, it’s Hebe’s voice that caught my attention when I first heard this song. Hahaa.. 飞轮海 still need to under-go more vocal training but like the other boy bands, they got the looks & height - enough to make the fans scream and support them. Furthermore, their recording company strategy was on the right track too. They choose 吴尊 and 汪东成to act in Hana Kimi which was a great success and boost their popularity overall. Sometimes to make things work, it’s really all about the right timing.

Anyway as expected, 吴尊 was the one that caught my eyes when this show was aired on tv… Hahaa.. Tall, handsome, good built! Wooo… almost close to perfect! It’s no surprise that he become popular over-night. He’s almost every gal’s type of dream guy. Well at least he’s my type of guy. Wahahaa…*dreaming in fantasy again* I do know that reality and fantasy are totally 2 different issues but it’s nice to have 幻想 at times. In real life, if I really do have a handsome bf, I think I will be rather uncomfortable being with him with the thought of having dozen of gals throwing themselves at him. I don’t think I can handle that. No sense of security.

So in the meantime, I shall just enjoy looking at吴尊( my Hp wallpaper) whenever I feel bored studying then. Cute guys are meant to be look at. Why waste it? Hahaa….

太好了

Finally my mock exams are over! I can take a short break for a while le! It’s been so long since I saw my friends. Even during Chinese New Year, I also didn’t get to enjoy much too. Was busy trying to study as much as possible. Oh well, at least I know where my stands is after going through the papers. Econs paper was a big shock to me and this make me realized that my knowledge for that subject wasn’t enough and really need to brush up more. Tsk tsk.. Only left another 2 mths to May! *scary*

Anyway, I’m going to enjoy myself first. 短展的休息是为了走跟更长的路!
Schedule has been planned le. Got sister’s meetings to attend(Just notified by Xh today), meet up with the Sjcians in small celebration of Han’s visit back to SG. And most importantly is attending Ade’s customary wedding this Sunday! All planning are just in time… Hehee.

喜气洋洋的星期

Not sure how come why some of the guys colleague are treating us like queens on V day.真的有受宠若惊的感觉 wor! Hahaa…. In my 5 years in this current company, it’s the first time that the guys gave each of the gals a rose, chocolate cookies (Famous Amos) and treat us to Haagen-Dazs ice-cream as well… I love surprises~

This year I’m so looking forward to eating those yummy CNY goodies. Sad to say that as CNY is almost approaching, I actually fall sick!! Hai… got sorethroat and today is the worst! 我竟然失声了!! Actually my throat hasn’t been feeling good and I tried to avoid eating oily and fried food ever since last sat. Keep drinking lotsa of water, hoping to get well soon. But yet, I still haven’t recover and it become worse instead. Winner~Arghhh.. I can’t eat those nice pineapple tarts, Ba Kwa and other delicious goodies le.

Tonight and tomorrow, I’m really need to nurse my throat back to normal sia. Don’t like the idea of having a “croaking” or "sexy" voice and clearing my throat numerous times during house visiting. Anyway, I’m just going to enjoy the CNY for only 2 days with friends & relatives and hopefully for the rest of the days next week, I can concentrate and focus on my revision for mock exam.

There are pros and cons that my company gave us our usual one week long holiday for CNY. Good thing is that I don’t have to waste my leave for this time round mock exam Bad things is that while other people out there are having fun, I’m one of those few who have to study at home. I can’t enjoy the long holiday like I used to be in the past. Pengz

Oh well, don’t care about that at the moment. I’m going to have fun and enjoy first. And also to meet up with Han, who is coming back tomorrow too! Finally! Hmm, seem like our gathering is becoming like once in a year. Tsk tsk… This time round, she’s going to stay around for 2-3 weeks and I can only manage to meet her once or twice(hopefully). Both of our schedule are quite packed! She’s going for her lasik appointment and surgery if possible and my mock exam also happened to be at end of Feb and first week of March too. Well, let Han plan her schedule first then. Her family should come first before us. Bet they miss her too. So will Han also miss them a lot too? Hahaha…

In another day or so , it’s going to be 猪年 le! And it’s the 金猪年 wor, comes once every 30 years or was it 60 years( wonder did I remember this wrongly). Babies who are born in this auspicious year are supposedly to have good life ahead of them. Wonder is it really true. I do have a couple of galfriends who will be having little pig babys this year. . How fun is that! Imagine the vision of us bringing the kids to future gathering and having high tea together is coming true soon. Hahaa…

在此, 我先“猪”大家新年快乐!! 万事如意!!心想事成!!

Bs & Cindy ROM

Another great buddy of mine got ROM yesterday! And now, her status is Mrs low le! Haha.. Look how loving they are! They have been dating ever since poly yr 2. Almost 7 years! Wooo....

One of the few couples I noe, who have been 爱情长跑 for so long! Congrats!!

It's a blessing to be able to find someone who loves you and vice versa. And finally, they have decided to move on to the next phase of their life. As both of them are bz with their studies, their customary will be held next year bah. Good... enough time for me to save up for the ang bao! hahaa.. nah.. i'm just kidding. Wahahaa... Cindy also booked me to be her jiemei as well. Bs had already gave us "warning" that his brother gang are a tough gang, not easy to beat them during the gatecrashing game. 好大的口气! Well, since there's one yr plus to go, plenty of time for us to think of some challenging games for them. 等着瞧吧!

Life is so fragile

For those who watch Taiwanese serial show, might know who is she - 許瑋倫. I’m not really a big fan of hers, but I know she’s one of the popular actresses on hot demand. Happened to read about an article on today’s newspaper that she got into a car accident yesterday and was in a coma since yesterday. All her fans, family are so worried about her as the news reported that her condition was really terrible. Serious brain damage, massive and uncontrollable blood loss. And sad to say, even though all the doctors and nurse tried their best to revive her within the last 24 hours, she was announced dead at 7.37pm today’s evening. Tsk tsk

She’s only 27 this year, so pretty and talented and yet, such a thing happen to her so suddenly. Her parents must be devastated over this. As a stranger, this news already came as a shock to me, makes me ponder that life is really fragile. One minute, you are alive. The next minute, you are gone. Perhaps she’s around the same age range as me. That’s why这件事真的让我感同深处. So young and full of ambition. Hai…. Whoever is the cause of this accident will be guilty for life for the loss of this promising girl’s precious life.

This month, I really went overbroad with my spending. So addicted to the online shopping items! Some of the clothings and bags are so much cheaper as compared in Sg., thus I overspent too much without knowing. Temptation “kills”. Oh dear, I do have to control my spending this month when my pays comes. And I’m going to restrict myself from going out during weekends too. Stay away from shopping malls. See no evil, hear no evil.. Hahaha..

Anyway, I got to study for Feb end’s mock exam too. Haiz. For once, I dun wish CNY to arrive so fast this time round as I have 5 modules to test on for this time round. It’s really a challenge to be well-versed in all of them. Stress is building up at the though of that. So much to study and yet I have to work too and unable to focus properly and tired to study during weekdays after work. Arghh.. Time is running out. Can I survive these tough times and pass all my modules for May? Well, I certainly hope that I got the determination to carry on.

After a yr & 6 mths, it’s time to remove my braces le. Yeah, Times flies fast! Before going for it, I was in a dilemma for so long whether to go for it. I’m quite bothered by my crooked teeth since young and v dreadful of pain. That’s why wishy washy about the whole matter for around 1 yr plus. Pengs, But I must say I didn’t regretted making it as somehow it shaped my face and now it’s slimmer and not as chubby as before. And now I got straight teeth too, gave me the confidence to talk to people freely.

Beside that, I learn something precious from this incident too : Life is short. Be brave and go for what you want in life. Have no regrets.

It’s true. I did it and I’m happy over it. :)

Finally~

Tada!!

My new laptop – vaio C in blush pink!!

Isn’t it sweet? Haha… well, first idea was that I wanted to get the green color but no more stock le. So it’s either pink or white. Fearing that white color might get dirtied easily, in the end, I choose pink. I was still hesitating whether I make the right decision after I left the shop. So girlie color! But anyway, it’s really something different from normal lappie color. Most importantly, I can pay installment for 24 mths and purchase the extended warranty at S$150!! So damn cool.. Best Denki and courts extended warranty are so much more expensive and they are considered as the 3rd party too. After many months research, I think the best offer is to get from Sony gallery itself. Keke..

Luckily, Cindy and Bs went with me that day and very grateful that Bs helped mi to carry the paper bag, containing the laptop stored inside the box. I never realize it was so damn heavy! Imagine me carrying that around alone. Pengz. I think I will just head straight for home loh.

Anyway, cheers to myself that I finally gets to have my own laptop. No more fighting over computer with my brother le! Own privacy and freedom!! Yeah! Also, as there will be 3 years of free wireless connectivity at 300 hotspots in public places, I can bring it to cafes with friends the next time round. I like this idea. Woo Hoo~

Crazy Sales

I spend too much this month le!

All the post-xmas shopping and online spreeing is making a big hole in my pockets! Arghh… I just cannot resist temptation to good bargains. Thought I told myself not to enter those shops that are having sales, my feets will just walk in automatically when I saw something I like instantly. Tsk tsk ..
Well, I already spend quite a bit at Ness on Wed and yet, I still went to check out the private Isetan sale with Cindy & Trixy yesterday.

As there were lotsa people inside , Trixy & us went our own separate ways. At first, I didn’t manage to saw anything that caught my eyes and went a few rounds at 2nd level. And while I’m trying to browse through the clothings, I didn’t even notice that there’s someone familiar beside me. As usual, I’m always so blur. Anna, my secondary partner!! So long never saw her le! She changed so much that I don’t really recognize her much. We lost contact ever since secondary school times. Therefore we exchange our contacts numbers and hopefully this time round, we can arrange for a nice tea session reunion soon. Keke..What a nice pleasant surprise to bump into an old friend in such crowded places.

After a short chat, we parted and I continue to search around for more tops. Haiz. Most of the items were out of stock for my sizes le! So disappointed! But I’m not going to quit until I found something. Poor Cindy has to follow me around, searching for my stuff. Hahaa.. 辛苦你了!! I know it’s damn hot & stuffy, squeezing with so many people. Finally I did manage to get 2 tops for myself, without trying them on. Too lazy to queue up for the fitting room. Cindy also managed to get a nice retro dress, 2 tops for herself and a shirt for BS. Yeah.. at least both of us got something that we like and I’m not going home empty-handed. Winner me! “Die” “die” must get something. Wahahaha..

Anyhow, I shall keep the grey flowery tube top to be one of my CNY clothing then. So happy that my CNY clothing’s are done early so fast.

Ok. It’s time to limit my spending and not to buy anything more unless it’s something I really need. Oh ya, I do need a laptop wor. Time to get one for my own home usage le. Tired of sharing it with my brother when most of the time, the computer is in his room which results that I don’t really get to use it often. Pengz. Yeah~ This shall be my next target item to get in my 2007 essential shopping list bah.

So in the meantime, no more clothing shopping till I get my next pay then.*坚持到底*

Happy times flies

I love gift exchange session! Thankz for all the nice gifts!!

Last Thurs (my first Xmas exchange), I meet up with Trixy for dinner at marina square 店小二. We ordered 5 course dinner which include herbal duck, crispy bean curd, sea cress soup, baby kalian and dessert - sea coconut with 7-up(weird combination rite?). But it was really yummy~

::crispy herbal duck::

::小菜::


Surprisingly for a 5 course meal, the pricing was quite reasonable and the food are very much to my liking. Keke.. I dun mind trying there out again. Pity Gs couldn’t join us.

Friday’s gathering was at Nelly’s house. Thankz to Nelly and Dawn who bought most of the dishes. There were log cakes( from Bakers Inn), minestrone soup, turkey and pork ribs together with sparkling wine.

:: Presents and Log cake::

My first time trying out turkey and I didn’t really like it. The turkey meat was quite tough. No way am I going to try that again. Chicken taste much more nicer than that. Although I used to be a chicken-meat lover but now, I’m cutting down on that and try to eat more veggie & fish le. Working hard this way to slim down in a more healthy way!

::Yan yan's cute little house::

The last xmas exchange dinner session was at Cel’s house. Our usual practice is that each of us has to bring something to contribute to the potluck dinner and the theme set this year was Japanese style. Overall, the dinner was fantastic. Anyway, the most hilarious thing of that night was that cel’s dog( Cobie) and Emily’s dog( xiao B) were trying very hard the whole night, to be intimate with each other. Cobie was not acting himself and seem to be hyper active the whole night, trying to jump pass the cage which xiao B was kept in. Also trying all sorts of ways to push open the cage by urinating and shitting on the ground a few times( dog’s way of making a marking as they told me). Pengz. Poor Cobie was kena caned by Cel for his misbehavior and apparently, he do not really care as he continued to “moan” for xiao B. I guess Emily will never bring her dog to cel’s house anymore, seeing the mess that the two dogs have got into.

In another week time, we will be welcoming 2007 le! So fast.. and that also means my term break has come to an end too. So sad.. why does holiday always ends so fast? And lazy me hasn’t read up the notes yet. Arghh.. Well, got to be more self-disciplined and start really soon. In the meantime, let’s all just enjoy ourselves during these last few days of 2006 bah!

Mind-taxing week

5In less than a week’s time, it’s going to be my half mock-exam le! And I’m not fully prepared at all. My small brain just can’t absorb all the information at the same time. Plus I got short-term memory. Well, I’m just going to try and sit- in and see how since it’s just a test of where we stand.

My worst fear is economics. Sandra (my lecturer) always teaches so fast and I really can’t catch up at times. Sigh. I realize that my understanding in class is real slow too and as the months goes by, I just get more blur. For Uol, Econs is all about drawing graphs and applying your theories on it. F.y.i, the graphes are really complicated with tons of lines and curves on it. Not as simple as what we used to draw during maths class in either poly or sec school. So it's either you know how to draw or dunnoe at all. Pengz. First time, I got a feeling of handing in a white sheet in if I really can't draw!!Arghh.... -_-"

I need a tutor!! Help~

For this half-mock exam, I didn’t touch on economics much. Guess I’m going to drop that subject first as we have an option not to hand in the papers (with Sandra’s permission). Haha.. so in the meanwhile for the other papers, hope I can memorize and understand as much as possible within this weekend bah. And after next Wednesday, I can rest and relax for 3 whole weeks! Hurraayy!!Yeah! Xmas break….So looking forward to it! My motivation that keeps me going~

Right now, I’m convincing myself 先苦后甜是值得的. Wahaha…

Mind your own business

Everything was going on fine until this “ah ma” came along. Ruin our plan!! All because she’s so unrelated to the family makes me even more frustrated and angry over it! All the planning that we done, went down the drain just like that… wah biang!

Well, the story goes like this : it’s my 3rd time being as part of the sister gang. Going by usual practice, normally the sisters gang would devise some game for the brothers & groom to finish before allowing them inside the house. Just when we are negotiating halfway, “ah ma” came along and speak to us in techeow that we should open the door as 15 mins already passed by. Huh? Wat the heck?? So early?!?! Still got plenty of time ley…Anyway we ignore her the first time and continue our negotiation with them.

But she’s very stubborn as well. A couple of time, she took the key out and attempted to open the door!! Wah…so we keep explaining to her that it’s not time yet and also, no auspicious time was set, we know when is the limit. Apparently, she’s also trying to act blur and keep saying the same sentences over again and again! (Time is up! Open the door! Don’t play le ) Why don’t she just get the message through?? We are not done yet! Arghhh….

My guess is that she’s around 70+. Surprisingly, for her age, she’s quite strong and try to force her way past us and opened the door for them! Shit.. game over!! Luckily they didn’t rush in. Instead the groom was nice enough to continue to play with us for a while before passing us the ang bao. We really are disappointed that most of the game wasn’t played accordingly but out of respect for elders, what to do?? She’s the “ah ma” ley. Little did we know that later on cel told us that she’s not her ah ma loh!
Then who the heck is she?? Guess wat???

She’s just one of the old neighbors staying near them in the past sia… Wahhh…

On hearing that, makes us even more angry loh!! So K.P.O.!! Cel is not even her own grandchildren, why she can’t mind her own business?? Keep wanting to open the door for wat? Our blood boil at the thought of that! Imagine we try to think on the positive side, finding excuse to accept that she’s cel’s granny, we should respect her. Arghh… Just cannot get over the fact that this nosey-unrelated-old-hag try to ruin our plans just like that!! Next time, if anyone else ever gets to be sister again, must make sure all those unrelated ah ma or ah gongs must “lock up” in the same room with the bride. Don’t let them wander in the living room again when the sisters are doing serious business! Pek chey!

P/S : Being a superstitious person, I guess my sisters days are over!

狂欢的一夜

Last sat went butter factory (recommended by Emily) for Cel’s hen’s night-out. As none of us have ever been there before, so we dun mind checking that out. Seem quite a long time since I went clubbing le. As I don’t drink and smoke so I dun fancy these kind of places much.

For me, I dun really like this place as it was located in a deserted place, behind gallery hotel. As we couldn’t bring ourselves to ask around, it took us quite a while to find it. Overall, the crowd was alright but definitely not the music (not my cup of tea). First time hearing hip hop music playing in pubs. Tsk tsk…The interior of the place doesn’t look as spacious as I thought. Subconsciously, I must have compared it with MOS. Hahaa…

Can’t wait to see our silly pictures. We took quite a few “bitchy”, act cute, seducing and sweet expression, using Emily’s camera..*Snap snap* Our initial plan was actually to make Cel drunk but she keep on insist that she’s not sporting one. Oh well, how come we let her off so easily? Haha.. so we just make her take photos with a cute ang mo guy on the dance floor instead! He was just standing behind us, why waste the opportunity? Hiak hiak.. I’m the one who thought of that last min idea and Miss aihuey executed it because the rest of us dun dare to approach him. Cel’s face was really in shock when that guy suddenly posed for a pic with her readily.*成功*

In another week’s time, it will be her church wedding le. My first church wedding too. But her banquet dinner is held on next Monday instead, which means we got to help out on these 2 days. Although it will be tiring, I’m looking forward to it. Esp. the saboing groom part!!

“这就是所谓的把快乐健在人家的痛苦上吧”>.<

年轻就是本钱

Basically, the age group of my course mates at Stansfield varies from age 17-36 (accordingly to those I known is around these age range). Sadly to say I don’t really have much chance to interact with most of them but I roughly know their faces and names.

Most of the time, I’m always late for classes and just dash quietly to my seats, beside my gals friends(that I know from orientation). In the first place I also don’t really dare to chat with strangers readily too. Well, to girls, maybe Yes, but not to guys. But if the other party makes the first move, probably I wouldn’t ignore that person. Haha..

That’s how I came to know my neighbor cum course mate. As he stays near me, we tend to bump into each other and take the same train ride home after every lesson. Initially, we just practically ignore each other presence but after I guess 2 or 3 months later, he approached me one day and we started to chat from then onwards. Keke.. Apparently, he’s around the same age as my brother and still serving in Ns. Very mature-thinking for his age too. Oh ya, he’s super hardworking as well which can motivate & “stress” me that I’m lagging on my revision. I need that motivation because of my laziness; I probably just start last min which is a big “NO NO” for degree studies. Imagine there are big piles of notes to study for each of the modules, if taking chance to study everything last min, most probably can flunk the 4 papers loh. Tsk tsk..

Anyway, it’s true that knowing a few young friends will make one feel younger. The way they talk is somehow different too, more lively & bubbly. Last night I got to know another of his friend, even younger than him.

Shuan to me : Hey, you look like one of my senior in sec school wor.
John to Shuan : How can it be? Even in primay sch. If she’s in primary 6, you are not even in primary one!
Me : …......(Wat can I say?!?!)

Disappointment

I finally bought my N73 last sat! But sad to say, I found out there’s 2 bugs. Firstly is that the incoming call volume is very soft when I’m listening to mp3 using the earphones. Secondly is about the loud, irritating screeching sound when I’m trying to make video calls to my friends. Wah… Guess I have to go down to Singtel Bugis to change my phone within the week. Hopefully it will not be a wasted trip down and they will change a new one for me instead of pushing all the blame to Nokia.
Well, I’m really looking forward to use this new gadget and YET, this has to happen.

What a letdown! Pls dun let me lost the faith in Nokia.

Good news comes one after another

As some of you might already know it, our dear Mrs. Lim is 3 months pregnant! Woo, so unexpected! I’m seriously quite surprised when she broke the news to me yesterday because to me, she really dun even looks pregnant at all. Apparently accordingly to doctor’s advice, it’s better to reveal the news to others after 3 months later, which the bb condition is much more stable.

Very soon, we are going to have a new member in our poly gang! So cool~ Yeah!! I love babies. Even though, married plans are far, far away from me. I always dreamt of having twins if I really have kids of my own. But my colleague warned me it might be a chore taking care of 2 kids at the same time esp when they both look so alike. N most importantly, everything got to buy in 2 sets! Hahaa…

Anyway, luckily for Jess, her vomiting symptoms seem to have lessened over these 3 months otherwise she say she will not be able to enjoy her honeymoon wor. Hmm, so will it be a little jess or mike? Well, got to wait for 2 more months before can know the result bah. Now that I suddenly recalled, in the past, I’m always “conned “by them (Ade & Jess) of this kind of news on April fool’s Day. Now this round time, she’s really pregnant le. Hahaa…

Also, Ade is moving in to her new house at Yishun today. A day she has been waiting for very long after so many months of preparation. Come to think of it, most of my poly friends live around Yishun, Katib and Admiralty. All live so far away from my home! Pengz. Well, that’s partly why I seldom meet them up. Recently, as every one of us is so busy with their own life. I got a thinking - Is it really true that all of us might drift away further and further away as we grow older? I certainly hope that’s not the case.
Well, now that they got their own home, perhaps we can organize some of the gathering over there instead. How about doing some cooking, baking cake or play mj at times? Haha..

That’s just my own suggestion. >.< *wink wink*

Farewell

So fast! 4 years have passed since Mr Saruta (My Japanese boss) had been working in my company.
He was transferred here from Japan to improve the sales of cutting tools department, to cut down on bad debts and to look over for other departments as well.
And he did it! Very splendid results. The top management in Japan is very happy with it. I must say that he is really a very efficient and fast worker. Plus I realized Japanese are very hardworking as well as he’s always the first one to come to work and the last one to left the office. Make me tend to wonder why he doesn’t look tired at all. Hahaa…* 佩服*

One month ago, he finally got the notice from Japan that he had to return to Japan for other job duties. Kinda like an internal promotion to other departments. The first person to be thrilled about this news will be his wife. I heard that she isn’t very happy staying in Singapore as there is language barrier with the others and she’s having trouble communicating too. Anyway his last day is set on 20th Oct. So recently, our company decided to hold a farewell dinner for him. Dining place is at “Min Jiang”, a high- class Chinese restaurant at Good Wood Park. We had a 9 course-dinner (Imagine they choose S$1.5k for one table, so ex!!). Well.. who cares!?!? Most imporantly, we dun have to pay a single cents at all! Wahahaa...

Overall it’s really a very sumptuous meal. Yummy~My first time having 佛跳墙, lobster porridge and the best of all : Bird nest with almond milk! Woooo....

Well, 天下无不散宴席..Thank you dear Mr. Saruta for all these years. It’s been nice working with you and all the best for you!! Hope that the next Japanese boss will be as easy-going & nice as you.

Blissful Couples

Last fri went to attend Jess’s wedding at M hotel and I went straight to her suite the first thing I reach there. It’s so damn classy & spacious! The most significance thing I remember is that there’s a huge Jacuzzi in the bath room and I like how the red roses petals decorating “Love” around the coffee table. Very romantic feel~

Before Mike & Jess stepped in the ballroom, a video of their childhood, teenage yrs & poly pictures were shown. Plus some clips of how we sabotage those brothers & groom at Jess’s house in the morning. Looking through the re-play scene and their “tortured” expression made us laugh non-stop. This means it was a success and all our plans are executed well! A full- 45 mins of teasing and making them eat those horrible yucky raw bittergourd and wasabi bread. Hahaha…evil sisters!

While waiting for each dish to be served, me & 3 other gals were also busy snapping pictures ourselves.
Well it's not like we always have the chance to doll up so pretty, so MUST take lots of pictures as memory! Snap Snap Snap… lol

Anyway congrats Mrs lim! Hope to hear your good news of little mike or jess soon ah!
Keke.. 要幸福 wor.... Aren't they loving in the pic~

Time to keep fit!

Yeah!! Finally I signed up a yoga class at Sengkang cc with my mum. 12 sessions in total which is around S$40( only applicable to members) . Rather cheap, rite?? Keke...but the bad thing is that I got to buy a yoga mat to bring it to class. tsk tsk tsk... Anyway I'm looking forward to my first class and hope that the whole session will be fun esp with my mum as my exercise kaki, this time round !

Oh ya, I signed up for the passion card as well! $10 as a member for 3 years and new members got a chance to particpate in lucky draw! Although first prize is plasma TV, I'm more interested in the 2nd price - ACER labtop! Hope I will be lucky enough to get the prize!

Esprit esprit

Totally happy with my purchases at Esprit and hopefully they should have more of these sales in the future!

Yesterday I went with my colleague to Causeway point outlet. Only this outlet & Centrepoint outlet are entitled to further discount for regular items. Before her sister & family arrived, we quickly scanned through the entire shop and I managed to shortlist 2 jeans & a few tops at one shot. There goes half of my monthly spendings again… hahaa

But it’s really a worthy buy as their jeans are quite expensive and Esprit seldom have any major sales going on. Plus, the jeans fit me perfectly! I wouldn't let this chance slip by.. hiak hiak.
With big hip like mine, it's really hard to find jeans that fits! I realize Levi’s jean doesn’t suit me as the cutting is too small. Too pricey for my taste and in my opinion, it's more suitable for smaller-built girls. As for Giordano, the jeans just gets bigger & looser after a few washes. Tsk tsk tsk… Waste of money!
Pray hard that my first 2 pairs of Esprit jeans will not disappoint me.

Well, guess I have to control my spendings this month again. Always broke so early! Got to bear for another 2 weeks more before my pay arrives. Ren ren Ren ren! I can make it!

Fireworks fireworks

Went for klunch @ MS with lisi & Syn last Sat. I must say that the rooms are all very spacious and nicely decorated. Food was tasty too. Pity is that we only have 3 hours to sing our lungs out. Most likely, I will drop by there another time with another batch of singing kakis as I really like that place and the charges are cheap as well.

After that, we just hang around MS and wait for nightfall to watch fireworks!
Our Initial plan was actually to stand near the One Fullerton to capture the full view but upon seeing the huge crowds of people walking around Esplanade, we change our mind. Dun feel like squeezing in at all.
Instead, we just sat somewhere near MS to watch the fireworks, performed by the France team.

It was a really spectacular show. A full 15 mins of colorful fireworks lighted up across the dark skies. I’m sure some of the cars must have slowed down a while to view it too. After it ended, everywhere seem misty with the smoke around. Tsk tsk..”Contribute” to more air pollution!
Well, it’s a good thing that we were seated near to one of the mrt exits so that we could just quickly make our way to the train station - to avoid squeezing in like mad with hundreds thousand of people together in the rides home.

Anyway, Singapore is really so generous to hold 4 firework performances in celebration of it’s birthday this year. Each year performance just keeps getting longer and better.

And guess what, a really bad news that I just heard from my colleague. In the future for this kind of celebration, if the car drivers continue to create trouble for the traffic police and no further improvement in the road traffic , they might just cancel the whole thing and no more fireworks to view next time!! So saddening~ Aahhhh…PpPPLLLSsSsss dun let this happened!!

Offices politics...

I can’t stand the way that my office receptionist is shaking her leg to pass off her time everyday. She simply has the best relaxing and easiest job in the world, with such high pay too. (Working around for 20+ years in my office)

Firstly she dun need to pick up the call when she’s busy typing in data for my boss. Secondly, when she’s talking on the phone (personal call), she’s just dun bother to answer the 2nd line and let it ring and poor us have to help her answer it. It's not the first time it happened. Calls have been flooding in like siao and she just dun bother. What the heck?!?! She cannot multi-task and does that imply that we got nothing to do and we can help her?? No logic at all. How about spiltting half of her pay to us instead?
In that case, I will be most willing to help….

I’m not sure why is my company management is being so lenient with her when she’s obviously trying to act blur and trying to shake off her job responsibility whenever she can. And she’s getting bolder and bolder. She dun even refills the A4 paper at the fax and print machine nowadays. Got one time, she’s so thick-skinned that she even dares to talk back to her supervisor and my Japanese boss - that she done her job well. Crap loh!

Either the management has no eyes or they simply don’t care as it’s a small matter. But to us, she’s trying to create havoc as she’s too free and try to find trouble with us whenever she can. Well, she has this thinking that we are trying to “steal” her job and ruin her “good worker” image. Best sia! Who in the right mind, wants to snatch her job! Pengz…
Blow small matter into big mountain. That’s what some “bo liao’ aunites are best at!

I just study about Japanese management on my IBM lecture 2 days ago. It mentioned a part of life-time employment - something like they will not anyhow sack people, unlike America firms. Maybe that auntie knows of this fact very well, that’s why dares to throw her weight around. But don’t she find it boring to live her days meaningless without nothing much to do?? And making so many people disliking her so much at the same time…

Actually, my company has been kind to her and yet she wants to push beyond the limit. Even thought my big boss already has a rather bad impression on her, there’s no news of dismissing her or anything. She should be relived of the fact and just be responsible on her work duties till the day she retires!

It will do all of us good if she snaps out of it soon and stop treating us like enemies.
