Holidaying in Phuket. =)

It’s been a nice and relaxing holiday in Phuket. The coup is like non-existent there. Holiday makers(mostly Ang Mo’s, very few Asians, even if there are, mostly are Japanese and Koreans, kinda feel we are the few Singaporeans) are roaming the streets. Locals are peddling their wares on the beaches, streets… everywhere to be exact. Don’t feel the existence of the coup at all.

It’s such a peaceful and enjoyable few days! (Minus the early hours, the packing, unpacking and also cleaning!)

To summaries our days there, we left for the Airport from Singapore bright and early at 5.40am on Wednesday (27 Sep), which is also our first day in Phuket. Then we went on a than-half-day-tour in Phuket Town, went to our hotel to check in and we went to the FantaSea in the evening.

Thursday (28 Sep), second day.
We had a full body massage and foot massage in the afternoon. Spent our day swimming in the pool, roaming the streets.

Friday (29 Sep), third day.
Went to Phuket Town, this time to the shopping centre. =) Went to the beach to catch some waves in the sea. This is the first time, we went into the waters in our days here! Nightfall, pack our bags and get ready to go home the next day leh. =(

Saturday (30 Sep), fourth day.
Home Sweet Home! Another bright and early day to catch the 8am flight home. Transfers came to pick us at 6am from the hotel lobby. By the time, we reach home, it was already noon. Then it’s an endless unpacking, cleaning and clearing.

We were dead beat after all these things and took a nap. By the time, we both woke up, it was already 7.30pm. Too late and too tiring for us to head to CTK for the grains.

Went for a late dinner and again, we headed back home to rest and to recover from the housework and to settle back down to SG life.. haha..

It's been a great holiday. Really feel refreshed and relax. Think, I want to go back again. haha

Going international!

I like it very much when my colleagues go overseas and come back! =) Coz it usually means some kind of freebies and snacks and don't know what else for moi.

This time, it is my dear office mate, Ah Teck who has gone out of SG and he back with a pack of snacks for me. It's just a pack of snacks lor, you may say, need to get so excited ar? But the thing is, it's the gesture that I appreciate lor, he don't have to get it for me leh.

Somemore, I asked him to help me get 2 tins of tea leaves and some skin cream that I think is good. So all in, he also lugged somethings back for me mar. Ask him to buy things already pai sey already he still got something else additional leh. So nice of him.

All in, I asked him to help me buy 2 tins of tea leaves, some cream and all these already costs $65 SGD. The tea leaves better be good ok!? Expensive leh! You know from where? CHINA lor. $65 SGD for 2 tins of tea leaves and 6 packs of cream better be good man... And I got a pack of walnuts. Oh yes, speaking of this, he let me choose first. The first thing that I came in this morning, he let me pick which want I want leh. Then he distributed the rest to the others.

So, being his office mate does have it's merits after all. =)

Hee... The walnuts are nice lor. I ate some already... I love snacks so it suits me. Will be bringing the rest home so can share with hubby later.

Oh yes!!

We are leaving for Phuket for 4D3N tml, so there won't be any updates. And you know what is the best best best part besides leaving SG to go on holiday tml? It is being able to leave office early too!!

haha... so happy...

Coz. I'm making a trip to Uni SIM to hand in my documents. Directors and PCEO has approved and since I have no time to go down before the closing date, I'm going later lor..

YahoO!! On company's time and on official biz and can go early. Better go and finished up the rest of my work before anything else then..

All righty, till we come back from Phuket.

Ciao~

To make up for it.

It's a known fact that I've been doing alot of self indulging these days..especially when it comes to food. hmm.. not "these days" but more like over the weekend.

So to make up for those amount of food that I've been staffing myself full to the brim with, I decided to go light today with just a sandwich and a very healthy fruit juice!

After all, too much and good food will make me sick too, so better eat bread and just juice. =)

I ate the cookies that we baked yesterday for breakfast but I guess it's not very filling lor, by 1130 hrs, my stomach went growling. But I was sooo busy with work and also maybe msn, I put of having lunch till like 2pm ok! haha

So being so late, most of the sandwich was outa stock, got an egg mayo sandwich with guava juice.

So much for healthy food lor.. Look at the amout of MAYO in it!!

*sigh*

So difficult to eat healthy leh. Only good thing is, tonite will be dinner at my PIL's place. I feel MIL's cooking is a tad too oily and bland when it comes to her soup.. But at least, it IS a home cooked meal lor.

Good news!

Guess what?!

My application to Uni SIM is approved!!! Hooray!!

Approved by Directors and also the Principal. Which means,
1) I'm gonna be back to school come Jan 2007
2) Full sponsorship for my course fees in BUSINESS discipline leh!
3) EXAMS =(

Well, exams aside, I did not think that Pricipal will approved for me to do a biz discipline leh. Though he will reject it. Woah! Who knows, he supported it and it seems from the letter, he did not think too long leh, coz the date bearing his signature was not that far apart from the last director.

Wooo hoo!!! I'm going back to school. Kinda excited leh.. haha..

Will have to go down to submit my documents before flying off to Phuket. Won't have time to rush down to Uni SIM after my holiday.

Yeah!!!

busy as a bee on a Sunday?!

*Phew*

Busy day today! Mass in the morning at 11.30am, means we (or at least me!) have to get out of bed by 9.30am to get ready. For some strange reason, the mass was quite long today, had lots of annoucements to be made. Also, a note from Archbishop to be read to all during mass with regards to the recent speech that the Holy Father (pope) made and the muslims are like picking on every single word that came out from the Pope's mouth. For goodness sake, it's not even HIS words leh, the Holy Father was merely quoting it from somewhere and I think also the koran lor. Darn these extremists!

Anyway, after the mass, hubby and me dashed to the nearby coffee shop for lunch and it got to be quick, quick!! Quick!!! Coz I have a GRAINS meeting in about 45 mins later. Coffeeshop was packed to the brim so need to wait for food and then gobble it up. *sigh*

Halfway, Emma and gang came out for BOW and joined us at our table. Had some fun chatting then I rushed back to CTK for the meeting while hubby continued chatting with them.

Made it into a chop chop meeting, tell them my plans and games then dashed out to meet hubby again and then off we go to Wise's plc. She stay rather near, thank God but from CTK, still need to change 2 buses to get there. If we were to go from home, then it's a direct bus leh. Good hor?


Anyway, we reached Wise's plc like 3 mins after the arranged time, coz we missed two 88 in a row! They came like 2 mins after each other but we were unable to catch it. Basket!

Had to wait for at least 10 mins for the next one.. *sigh* No car.. no transport, that's the problem lor.

Anyway, the moment we reached Wise's plc, we all set to work. We had a whale of a time! Messing around in her kitchen. haha.. her kitchen is well equipped I feel. What we need, she just need to pull a drawer here, pull a cupboard there and produce the item for us! Woah!! Like magic leh! haha

So after like 3,4 hours, these are our master pieces... Cookies and cookies and MORE MORE cookies!! haha.. We had peanut butter with almond slices and chocolate with almond and chocolate chips. Needless to say, I prefer the chocolate ones but the peanut cookies seem to be the preferred flavour among the 5 of us.

The guys even manage to play in the kitchen along with us, womenfolk leh. Haha.. This is the 1st time I've seen hubby playing with dough coz I've not attempted to make cookies in our nest yet.. the last times I made it was at my parents' plc hence, he has no chance to play lor.. Since, he is such a good boy and helper, maybe one of these weekend, we can make cookies at home too? We attempted a cheesecake too, but for don't-know-what-reasons, the cheesecake refuse to set... either there's too much water or not enough geleatine coz we chucked it into the freezer for at least 2 hours and still it's waterly. How??

Left Wise's plc at close to 7pm. Sorry Wise, din help you to clean your plc. Tks to Carol and Alex, we got a lift home. And it was yet another good dinner. This time it was crabs, crispy oats prawns, BBQ chicken wings complete with bread to dip in the crabs sauce. Gosh!! It was a heavenly dinner ok?!

I really really need to stop eating like this... Buffets for 2 days in a row and then now this sinful dinner.

*burb*

But it's really really good!!

A day out =)

Enjoyed myself totally today!! =) It's been sooo long since Godma, brother and myself took a day out and enjoy a lesiurely lunch and just each other's company!!

But it was a busy day! Trust me.

Though I was on leave, I woke up at the same time as I normally would when I go to work, so that I can doll up, leave home and have breakfast with hubby. If not, he will complain that I am still lazing in bed while he got to go to work. He will play on my guilty conscience that he has to go to work while I can rest wan leh. So wake up as usual he no complaints!

We went for breakfast together at 1 of my soon-to-becoming-favourite-brekfast joints. BTW, the couple who owns the store has a very cute maybe 3,4 year old daughter! Very cute, rather pretty and very VERY talkertive. I told hubby, I want a daughter JUST LIKE THAT too! =P
Ate my toast with kaya and butter and also tea then went to see doc for some pills to help me enjoy my upcoming trip to Phuket next week. Met Godma at the clinic, she took a number tag for me so I don't have to wait so long lor. Thank You, Godma!!

I spent at least 10 mins with Dr Chua leh. She's a really patient lady explaining the pills and the things to me. She's not very expensive also. Costs me $19 for the whole thing, out of which $12 is the consulation fees and only $7 for the medicine leh. Quite reasonable hor? But hor, she cheated me of 1 pill!!! I went home and inspect the medicine then I realised short of 1 pill leh.. How?! Go back to her and ask for that 1 pathetic pill??

Then made my way to Bishan Park Sec coz I had to deliever a poster and also a plague to the school lar. Me very good employee hor? I ON LEAVE ok, still go out on WORK business leh.. heehee... Also took sometime to go and take passport size photo coz I need to submit a photo of myself with the Uni SIM application leh. So ma fan and costs wasted my $6 lor. Again, CANNOT claim wan. =(

Since I manage to complete all these within 2 hours and the time was like 10+am only, decided to head home to rest a bit before meeting Godma and Bro. Being the super duper good and responsible wife and mother that Godma is, she have to clean hse, do marketing and complete watever that is necessary of her attention before meeting us lor. So I went home to wait for her call.

Finally after a long 1 hour, she called, we both dashed out and made our way to Ling Zhi Veg restaurant in Far East Square. Nice leh!! Lots of different kinds of mushroom. Bro only managed to join us at 1 pm and he got lost lor. -_-" But, we all had a good time (as usual!!) we eat and chat and laugh and enjoy the food. Food, GLOURIOUS food!! We are really such gluttons leh, sat there from 12 noon till 3pm and then we left for east coast park and plonk ourselves down in coffee bean! Before, we headed for ECP, bro got lost again, this time, cannot remember where he parked his precious car and we spent close to 15mins searching for his precious car leh! haha and the car park darn expensive!! $7.50 just for that 2 hours leh!!! My Goodness!! Bro says go ECP coz CP free ma.. so we say ok lor, go there can enjoy sea breeze.. but bleh!! We sat INSIDE coffee bean, where got BREEZE? But agian, the sun so hot, I also don't want to sit outside lor.. haha.. WOMEN!! Just sit inside, yak and laugh, we spend another 2 hours! Time passes soooo fast when you are enjoying!

And so much for free parking lor. Bro got a $30 fine!!! Think if we stay in town also won't spend $30 on parking!! bleh bleh bleh!!!

Met Hubby for a trial back massage in you know where? True Spa leh! Atas hor??!! Environment not bad. So hor, really leh, want to be mre high crass, must drink more atas drinks! haha..

hm.... not bad leh the massage.... but that's another entry to be done on another day! =P

ps... acutally hor, I only on leave in the afternoon la. But I gathered after seeing doc, go to sec sch on work biz is close to noon liao.. so I self declare no need go office liao la. And hor, I very clever leh, sent my boss an sms at 10+am (as I was gng home) to tell him I just sent the items and then gng to see doc then enjoy my leave leh.. My boss's reply? "Thanks"

Aren't I clever? And a very very good employee hor?! hahaha

Ooooh.... another PINKY discovery!

You know wat I was doing this morning when I stepped food foot into the office?

Of course besides working my ass off, I also have to do something that will make me enjoy my work right? Indeed, it has really been a tiring day. Non stop work from this morning till now!

I was busy trying to get online to download my camera software lah. For some strange reason hor, after DL and restart, DL and restart my PC for like I don't remember how many times, the software is still not installed and running and detected. Darn! At times like this, I really really regret why on earth, I did not pay more attention in PC class or why I did not do some IT related dip and out of the so many Dip, I have to do an Engg one which I think I have successfully returned at least 99% back to the lecturers.

Anyway! As of now, camera software is NOT working. Please help me, someone, ANYONE~~

But, on a happier note, something is working fine now.

THIS!!

Nice right?! Finally get the themes installed and now, when I opened my Firefox, I see yet another Pinky window. Ok lar, I know, this theme also been there for ages, but remember me is ENGG DIP NOT the IT DIP holder lor.

So my theory is this lar, if an Engg Dip holder can do all these IT things hor so goody goody good 1 shot, then need IT ppl for what?! Hence, I need to be bad, so others will have a job lorr. That means, my sis will have a job since she's gonna be some IT Grad in maybe another year?! haha..

And hor, on an even more serious note hor, I've finally made and submitted my application for Uni SIM this afternoon. So darn long leh, the online application.

Apply is apply liao lar. Dir also finally picked up the pen and signed his big big name there lor. Now paper is with Dir of HR. THEN, still need to go to Principal then can finally know is will study or not study.

But closing date is 30 Sep ma. How to wait till they all signed then apply right? So being, the very efficient, self-motivated, highly-disciplined, eager to improve employee that I am, I do the application first lor. I also got to fork out $30 for it ok?! Cannot claim wan le!

But my beary good boss says, nvm la, take is as a form of investment lor. If they approved, then you study in Jan liao mar. NO need to defer till July intake. So, with his words in mind, I decided to forsake the $30.

But hor, I wonder who delay the signing and approval and make me so kan cheong for time lor. Paper was written at least like 1.5 months ago lor.

Time to GO.

I know you've been a great help to me in my work the past few years. Without you, I would definately never be able to even complete 10% of what I have done!

You stayed with me throughout the times where I had to work late, consoling me that I am not the only pathetic soul working in the office at such unearthly times. Singing me songs, sharing my joys, tears, laughter and frausrations all these time.

I still remembered the happiness that I had when you first came to my life. Occupying a significiant space in this little room here. Creating little problem most of the times, except when you have a bout of maybe.... PMS once a while? I try to do my part to make sure that you were nourished well and had enough rest and information so that the next day, we can be the best of pals again.

We never carry our arguments over to the next day unless it was a really serious case of PMS. The only time so far was when you absoultely refuse to speak to me no matter how hard I tried to be back into your good books. But oh well, that was a couple of months back ago. And I say let bygones be bygones.

I also have to apologise for the fact that, once I, JUST ONCE. I turned violent and hit you. Of course, it was not on purpose. I'm sincerely sorry for that 1 incident.

Over the years, we have helped each other to beautify ourselves. With me giving you little decorations that you can use and you helping me to edit my pics and things.

Really grateful for all these help, care and concern that I've been showered on by you.

But, the reality is such that, if we do not keep upgrading and improving and re-profiling ourselves, we will become obselte. I'm sorry, pal.. but the world is also a cruel world, it's also a survival of the fittest in this organization and also in the world!

I'm glad to say, at least it's not me who's gonna get axxed. Sorry, Pal.

Oh! BTW, I heard that you are not that old after all, they are gonna to re-format you and then put you in the e-learning plaza where you can prove your loyalty and usefullness for the students.

I'll ask the DT to be gentle with you, k?!

Take care Pal, so long!

Isn't it nice?!

Look what I've got?! This was the very very FIRST THING that I checked to make sure that I still have after my PC upgrade this morning leh!

Isn't it nice and sweet and PINK looking?! It's complete with purple fonts for myself!! I LOVE IT!! I know I am being silly here lar, of course, MSN has already came out with this version that I can change the background sooooooo many donkey years ago and now then I get excited over it.

Well, the reason is very simple lor, coz yours truly moi was using an old old version of MSN that cannot change the colour theme la. So now, I'm soooo excited over it. Not to mention happy and feeling pinky too!

I can't wear the colour pink very well coz it looks horrible on me, but on one says I cannot make sure that I am surrounded by PINKY things lor! haha..

Like my pink Yoga Mat, pink MSN theme. Trying to get the Firefox pink theme too! But darn it. Having some problems! Nvm, will try again tml coz I'm now getting ready to go for my weekly kickbox class liao..

ciao~

All new and shiny!

Finally!

After seeing these ugly brown boxes (which contains the new office PC) lying here next to my desk for like 1 week, I get to see what is inside!

I know the boxes say "DELL" so naturally, the new PC is also naturally a DELL but still curious to see how it looks and check out the features that is within these 2 little ugly brown boxes ma.

And the schedule for my PC to be revealed is supposed to be next Tues lor, but not sure why, the schedule was moved up, so changed today! =) Also good, faster get rid of the old one and have a new toy! haha

Say 'Helloooooo" to my new "Dell" now!

This was one of the 1st thing that I made sure I changed after the DT and DELL people left.. haha.. To change my desktop!!

I wanted to find another pic, but well, all not nice, so use this instead, Rain! He not my idol la, but looks sexy in this shot. Hence, it shall do! haha..

Know what's the 1st thing that I checked my PC for?!

Stay tunned then! ;)

Good lunchie!

Was raining cats and dogs in the afternoon, but that did not deter my colleagues and me gng to Bishan J8 for a super duper good lunchie!

Look at this and you will get what I mean!

Isn't this simply droolsome?!

I cannot remember what it's called now, but it's some kind of skin wrapping chicken baked in cheese! Goodness!! It's simply fanastic ok!!

It's a set meal and it comes with mushroom soup, which I already finished before I remembered to take pic, main course of this, it comes with also a glass of Icy Lemon Tea and also their famous cheese cake. I had oreo cheese to complete my meal. It's simply heavenly!!

Best of all, it's about $16 after the tax and such a good lunch! Goodness...

Must go and try ok? It's Chicken something something lar.. Abit like Taco's Bells.. just that the skin is soft, not the crispy kind! Good!!

It's FOC lei!

Went to the market this morning and also not sure what to buy, so just some corns, meat and also breakfast. I know hubby was still upset at me over last nite's incident so I also was not really in the mood to do marketing plus the coming week would be yet another busy weeknight week. Hence, there is actually no need to get much. But coz hubby is still upset, I thought it will be good to at least have some food for him as a sign of peace lor.

Bought him a you tiao and also some fishballs. Made peace lar. But I think the issue is not really over yet. While I was preparing soup, hubby stood next to me and we talked a little while I was preparing soup. I remember my mom saying since I can make this kinda simple soups, can make for the extended family... so ok la.. since nothing much needs to be done today.

Anyway went for lunch at my mom's plc. Coz, did not have the chance and time to go there on weeknights for the past week at all! Let's see what I was so busy with..

*puts thinking hat on*
Monday - Yoga
Tues - OGF
Wed- Kickboxing
Thurs - Confirmation but din go coz I was not well
Fri - Queenstown to get mat

Yah, no wonder no chance to go back to parents' place for a meal the whole of this weeknights! So had been hoon soup at my mom's plc. It's been sooooo long since I last ate her bee hoon soup! I love it! She taught me how to cook it before, but I cannot be bothered to go and cook the ikan bilis soup. Takes alot of time and effort leh. I tried once, but no soup leh. All dried up. Think my fire too big then.

Then hubby and me settled down to watch TV with the rest of my family just chatting and laughing lor.

All these time, my sister knew I was thinking of how to shelf my Canon Powershot A80 w/o loosing too much $ coz it's bulky and heavy. Thinking of getting something smaller so that it's not so heavy and big to carry around.

But whenever I checked out the price of other newer and better looking models, I feel the pinch and decide to keep to the trusty A80, since it is 1) a Christmas present from hubby 2) Still in good working condition 3) It's only worth $100 if I were to sell while hubby bought it at $500! 4) mainly I want to use it to take pics for me to post in blog.. After serious deliberations and pocket screaming at me. Yup, NOT changing camera lor. Too poor and still have a perfectly working camera on hand mar, too wasteful to change.

But, BUT!! You know what's the best thing that can be happening? My sis, YUPS, my sis, she decided to give me her Sony Cyber-shot leh! (She won this in her co's D&D many moons ago lar) It's definately a smaller and ligher cam than mine leh! So happy now! haha..

But, she lost her installation software leh. The camera makes use of memory stick. I do have a multi card reader in office but cannot remember if there is a slot of MS though. Will try. If really don't have then need to find a way to DL the pics taken into the PC leh.

Woo HOO!! So I'm happy now. I have a somewhat new camera and best of all free. It's free both rounds leh. Coz my sis got it free and I got it free too ma. haha.. happy happy..

After a good lunch, completed with durian mooncake, watermelons and a new camera, we head home to rest for a while and also for me to check on the soup that I left simmering at home, which is for my PIL's when we go for dinner.

I was cooking my personal favourite, corn soup. So went home, tasted it, added salt to taste and left it there. I think it should be sweet enough, there's like $4 worth of pork, 1 chicken breast bone as well as 4 cobs of corn. But think I din add enough salt lor.. haha

Not sure if PIL likes this kind of cantonese soup. Coz so far, I have never seen MIL made this kind of soup, could be coz she's busy. Where got so much time to cook soup for 2,3 hours when she leaves for work like 6am and come back at 4++pm? Since, we are not working on Sundays and we are gng to their place for dinner, I think it's a good idea to just bring some food over lor. 1) can ease MIL's worry of what to cook 2) can show that their precious son is still eating rather well enough though he married me lor

Good right?! Killing 2 birds with 1 stone and both will put me in a good light to them! haha..

Heng hor, I got a big enough pot to cook and bring everything there lor.. Was kinda worried that they don't drink. MIL says very sweet and ate lots of corn. Good! Good! But, we did have a wee bit of problem transporting that big pot of rather hot soup over lor. Somemre, we take bus ok? But still not too bad, don't think alot spill out. Thanks to hubby's skills lor. haha

So, you see, we had free lunch, free camera and free diner (all we contribute was a pot of soup). Isn't my title apt?! haha

What a Saturday!

*whew*

Besides the usual tiring housework, lunch and nap. Add in stress, shopping and also argument? And this is my Saturday for today. =(

Got to prepare to do an accoucement for CTK abt GRAINS later during mass. It kinda got me worried la, so was on my toes the whole day. That did not help and then I got irriated by M for some of her silly questions. =/

*hai*

But I think overall the announcement went ok, then hubby and me for dinner in Pizza Hut finishing up our vouchers that we got.
While we were doing aimless shopping, I even manage to get a pair of shoes leh! Not bad!! And I desprately need some shoes coz most of the soles on my exisitng pairs of shoes are giving way. So, the search has already begun for some new shoes. But coz, was sooooo darn broke, din want to spend unncessarily mar. But found this at Toa Payoh the other time, just that I did not have the time to try it then. Tried it on, it's comfy and decided to get it. It's sooo cheap some mre leh. $16.20 after 10%. Happy liao.

Went to NTUC, got some fruits and then headed home. All is well for now.. But *sigh*.. things are not so after we have bathed and settle down in front of the TV lor.

Can read the full story here lor.. *sigh*..

Finally I can go to Yoga with style

Got my mat after work today!

And you know at where?

QUEENSTOWN!!

Because, I went on an online search and read that a forummer bought her Nike mat in Queenstown for $28! So, being cheapo, I was not willing to pay $36.75 for a mat that I don't know I'm gonna use for how long and also paying $29.90 for a non branded mat seems expensive when I can get it cheaper ma.

Nice hor? I know I wanted the violet and grey mat, but they don't have that colour in that shop leh.. So, out of the blue, green and pink, pink is the more girl girl colour lor. Finally bought the mat at $30. Still cheap ma, consider the retail price is another $7 more leh.

Then went to another shop and they have the violet/grey! But heng ar, after seeing the colours on the mat, not so nice leh. Online and the actual got difference.

So, still heng, I choosen my pink mat.

Now, all I need to do is wait for Monday and I can go to Yoga with style! =)

I want! I want! I want!

There's sooo many things that I wanna buy!!

A yoga mat for my yoga lessons on Monday in this exact shade by Nike!


And this zap zap to ZAPPED all my fats away! It's having a promotion now and comes with the stylish bag! Coz it's cheaper than OTO, I think I will go for this instead! And best of all, Ah Teck has the membership card, hence it's 10% cheaper!!

I also want some new shoes, my soles are giving way, I want some new clothes, which the wise one gave me a link to view earlier. I want.. I want.. I want!!

Give them to me!! NOW!!!

No wonder the kilos are staying PUT!

I had this for lunch.

Bought from the Malay food store, complete with 3 pieces of nuggets, mutton and veg. No gravy since this is sinful enough. But, I asked for less rice, so what you see is actually half full of rice only lor.

Also had a slice of honeydew. Not as sweet as yesterday's but still nice.

Gosh, if I continue eating like this, no wonder, I din manage to loose any weight but seems to be steadily slowly but surely rising and rising leh! How ar??!

A studious Saturday!

Went for the Uni SIM Open House @ Clementi today with hubby.

I roughly know where the campus was, so thank God, we did not take the wrong bus, nor alight at the wrong bus stop nor walk the wrong way lor. haha.. Well, the only fear was getting off at the wrong stop coz we know for sure that bus 74 goes there.

Reached Uni SIM rather early and just walked around and asked some questions then we both went for the talks. It was quite exciting for me when I first step into the LT. I begin to feel the excitment and exhilaration when I went in. It's been soooo long when I last attended any of such talks in another plc and sitting there as a student listening to the lecturers.. wow... Kinda missed that kind of 'studying' phrase in my life. Only thing now is to wait for the approval from the top before I can enrolled to be a Uni SIM student, unless of course, I want to pay the school fees myself?! Granted, working in an education centre, means I get to go for lectures and talks pretty often, but it's different coz for one, I've been here for sooo long, 2nd, I'm attending the talk as a staff and lastly, I don't have to pay attention.. hiak hiak...

I went for the business related talk while hubby went for the IT related talk. But even before my talk was halfway thru, his ended, so he came to join me at my LT. We both sat thru the whole talk and then leave the campus. I enjoyed every minute of it. But hubby seems hesistant about it. Well, we shall see then.

We went to Holland Village after that, been so long since I last came with hubby. Was too hungry for words and we ate sme noodles and then walked around. Was a sunny hot hot day and we were both quite warm so we hide out in air con most of the time.

Nothing much caught our eyes, hence we din buy anything, but it feels good to be just spending time wif hubby walking. It was not crowded but there were lots of ang mo's around. Then, we decided to have dinner here. It says 'for friends' leh.. but hubby and me not friends ma.. can go in or not huh? haha.. we did went in and we really enjoy the food. Good leh! Hubby and me enjoyed ourselves very much. We din order much, just 1 pizza and also the calarmi to share. And you know what, the glasses they served the ice water in also quite COOL leh. haha.. yes, cool to both the water and the glasses! We took a long time for dinner. Sat there and enjoy the scenery, oh!
Did I mention that we were sitting at the balcony on level 2? It was great, we ate and chat and laugh and watch the sky gets darker, the streets gets livelier and more crowded, the lights coming on and then just sti there as though we have ALL the time in the world and simply just watched the world goes by. Really should do it more often. I LOVE IT!

Not to mention, me taking shots of things that catches my eye and thinking in my mind, how to share it and what to write it.. Gosh.. Me kind of turning into a blogger addict! Who cares if no one reads my blog. I write coz I want to creat my own memories and a dairy of sorts for myself!
Alrighty, here's sme pics I snapped. I like the table arrangement. Kind of dreamy right? Blue organza and table cloth makes a good and dreamy effect I feel, like the sea, kinda relaxing. While red and pink makes a romantic kind of setting, I like both. And seriously in SG, not often can get to see dining in the open! I think only in Holland Village that it's soooo common! Complete with lotsa of ang mo's. Really give you a feeling as though you are not in SG leh! haha.. But I think I am thinking wayyy too much!

Then later into the evening, TP came and close the roads with these barriers.. haha..
Hubby says it was to prevent bombing.. But then again, if really want to bomb, anywhere on the road also can lor, must really come in? haha can work meh? Just close the road also can meh? I seriously hv my doubts lor..

I said I'm famous right?!

Well, in my earlier post, I said I was famous and my photo taking skills not so good la, so cannot c clearly right?

This is the online version that I manage to get leh. Check this out!!
My entry is on the lowest!! =) Taken from www.styleweddings.com.sg

new toys!

Guess what I have?!

My sup went to Kuching for a holiday and got me this.. haha.. rather cute, don't you think? It's the tip of a rather long pencil, 18 cm to be exact. Is it the normal length for a pencil? I can't be sure now, it's been ages since I used a pencil that I need to sharpen myself!

Actually there's also 2 sweets, but 1 was already in my mouth when I took the pic.. So left with just this and it's for Darling when I see him later!

Ain't I a sweet wife? ;P

And shortly after I got this cute souvenirs, I got a call from 1 of my colleague asking me to go see him to collect something. So being, the very oblidging obliging colleague that I am and strive to me be, I went down to his office and guess what I've got now?!

This!!! My goodness, a 60G external hard disk! Pardon me for sounding so "sua koo" ok but my goodness!! Can you imagine that each of us was given 1 of this toy? Wow!! I knew, my co is rich, but this rich? haha... I'm gonna have fun with this guy here. And it is an expensive guy ok, coz my office mate, Ah Teck says so lar. I know nuts about technology to tell you weather it's ex or cheap.

And the next thing is, the NEW PC is going to be delieverd to my office next week! Woo Hoo!!

So? Agree right? My co is rich hor?!

P.s. I have already transferred all my photo files into the hard disk. I'm gng call it a "him" and his name will be "Hunk!" Well.. all the photos have already gone in, and it's taken up like 1G of Hunkie.. Gosh.. I never know, I had taken so many photos since the digi cam was bought in '04.

I'm happy!

Have you watched the Korean show, Full House?

It's one of those idols shows, not much story line but still, will chase after it kind...

I had this pic in my msn for a while now and Amanda came online today and commented that I look like 1 of the actress in this show, Full House! I was sooo surprised. Drilled her who.. I thought she was gng to say the lead, Song Hui Qiao or something..or the lead's pregnant friend (don't know her name) . Who I think are pretty ladies but not my kind of pretty.. and guess what? She say nope. Not them, the other one.

So that leaves..

Sorry, I don't know her name. But she's a successful fashion designer in the show.. And I find her soooo pretty!

So, obviously, I was very happy to be told that I look like her lor!

Actually, I don't for a moment believe and think and feel that I look like her lar, but since Mandy says it, then I shall believe it. haha

Thank You, Amanda for the vote of confidence!!

I'm one happy woman right now!!

Don't bother!

Don't bother to go down to get this from The Body Shop!

It's the New Make-Up Range of "Lip colours that are rich and long lasting wiht a sweet vanilla scent, Hi-Shine Lip Treatment withe medium colour intesity."

The colour is horrible!! I got this as a sample in the mailer maybe about 2,3 days ago and decided to give it a try yesterday.

Bleh! Bleh!! Bleh!!!

Ah... the Hi Shine thingy can try if you like the glossy lips look, but the lipsticks... well put it this way, if you want to look like those auntie with too red mouths... then I nothing to say...

Looks horrible lor. Ok, it may be just me not suitable for the colour lor.. SO, u go and try then tell me lor.

But as for me, I am gng to stick to my MAC Colours!
