Going SwimMin

I've been having knee pain recently. Maybe too cold in work place and been jogging too much for the past months ? Geesss. old lady symptoms.

I guess the best exercise for me now is something not too hectic? like swimming ? Da best ? i've stopped going to gym or should i say lessen the visits to once per week. feel fat now. cos been eating n eating. today course at hotel. AGAIN, im eating n eating, the food is darn good. How can anyone with conscious mind can resist it ??? darn the little tiramisu n cheese cakes is reaaaaalllly good.. yum yum. Tomorrow one more day of makaning. I will exercise after that. a promise to myself.

JL is not exercising since he works till very late everyday. So must make him exercise with me. swimming is best. So, saturday we shall go swimming. hope i can still swim. the last time i dip in swimming pool was years back. Wow, how time flies.

FaReWell GifT 4 OC

French boss leaving.boss wanted to get him Mont blanc pen but he is too stingy to fork out with his own money.so what else.we all share la.

BG is not happy abt this as he refused to pay up n been questioning abt boss's intention.

well everyone knows boss needs people to share the cost but hey he is the boss, he decides ur bonus n pay rise, a little $20 bucks worth it man.

Anyway, BG still refused to pay up while the 16 others paid willingly or unwillingly.at least we have done our part.

I took a pic of it before giving it to OC.

StOck Check

First time i did stock check. This is part of auditing point. Boss wanna expose me to this experience. Today, jeff n i went down to Cisco to do the tapes stock check.

A boring session cos we have to go through all the backup tapes to ensure they r tally with our records. After the stock-check, tmw i still have to write a report and send to boss. bored.

My col (aka mentor) went to Australia for application implementation. I heard he will be going to India & Japan for the same task. Sob sob sob.. when will be my turn. boss said no worries. my chance will come. but can it come earlier ?? cos i cant wait to fly too !! business class some more k.. so envy

Boss is budgetting for new laptop for me. i have one free one from vendor which the desktop team claims is not the right version for bank's standard OS. so i will use the free laptop for my personel use lah.. heee. The new coming laptop shall be configured so that i can remote access to company network. Meaning work from home n after office hour ? mm.. good n bad huh.

Tmw have to write report, have to help boss draft emails. have to folow-up with vendors and meeting with them. feel like going to be sick.. too much sticthing make me sleepy. tired.

I shall stop stitching for today. rest my eyes. going blind.

It's Him Or Me ?

Wonder why, things i told him or said to him, that i can still remember, he dun remember and ask me as if i HAVE NEVER EVER told him before.

I kinda fed-up as this has been the nth time. He din notice i have curled my hair or changed my nails colour or changed my wallet or anything else in details. OR things i told him before, even just 1 day ago. he dun remember and ask me again. Frustrated really.

Is it me or him ? but i guess if he cares he should show some interest in those details ? not after i told him then he realised i've changed something from normal ?

Yeah he is busy with work, stress with work.
But a little bit of concerns over what his girl is making effort to look good is very much appreciated. This applies to things i told him.

Blek. Laoya.

How To Manage Him

*How To Manage Him *

When you marry a man, love him.
After you marry him, study him.
If he is honest, humour him.
If he is generous, appreciate him.
When he is sad, cheer him.
When he is quarrelsome, ignore him.
If he is slothful, spurn him.
If he is noble, praise him.
If he is confidential, encourage him.
If he is secretive, trust him.
If he is jealous, cure him.
If he favours society, accompany him.
When he deserves it, kiss him
Let him think how well you understand him.
But never let him know that you manage him.

Jenny ComiN 2 toWn..

Jenny is coming to S'pore. Her hubby has started work in s'pore since 1st June. She was here over the weekend to get her furnitures, house reno n all.

BTW, Jenny's place is very near redhill. we will become neighbours ( 15 minutes walk ) from each other for the next 6 months before i shift to Sengkang.

mm.. so far she is the only one never show us anything on her newborn. we have seen Bee Bee's boy's photos, Jee Mei's boy's photos as well. now baby girl on da way.

Jenny said will bring his boy out when we meet. I guess maybe ask Sew Sen along, if she ever interested. cos she never make the effort to keep in touch. only when she needs to promote her direct sales she remember us. such a friend.

Neeway, I've gotten the dining table that i like. Yipeee.. most of the furnitures we have gotten. Now left with study furniture. got to look out for it for the next few weekends.

Going BA-na-NA

After Reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again

Bananas

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose
combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.

But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana.This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana.

The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your
mood.

Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much

Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore
normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana
milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the
affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders
because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers.

Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6,B12
they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat,
sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we
are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill
off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the
yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it
to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other
vitamins and minerals.It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.

So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say,
"A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

In-LawS..

Im still trying to get used to being with JL's parents. they r nice people. Just like my mum. But it takes time to get close/comfortable with each other.

JL ask if i like them. i do think he care how i feel abt his parents.
Well, i do. but i haven learn to enjoy being with them, yet.

I have yet to call them " ma " or "pa" still find it weird to call people other than ur own parents "ma" or "pa".. this too, takes time to get used to.

Dun worry, it wouldn't be that hard to accept someone else in my life, just like i have accepted You in my life :0)

House renovation is completed. Just final touch up. Happy. will start to think of how to place furnitures.

Now, im busy with my cross sticthing. bought one very big cross stitch with sis last week. Wanna make one and frame up and put in my dining room as decoration. My 3 months project !!

More than likely you said, "A bird in the bush," and........

if this IS what YOU said, then you failed to see

that the word THE is repeated twice!

Sorry, look again.

Next, let's play with some words.

What do you see?

In black you can read the word GOOD, in white the word EVIL (inside each black letter is a white letter). It's all very physiological too, because it visualize the concept that good can't exist without evil (or the absence of good is evil ).

No-SigN-BoaRD

Yesterday, we went to eat crabs. It was farewall dinner for YK (JL's brother). He is going away to further studies and will fly off this coming wed.

reminded me of the days when i was in the same exact dilemma. So wanted to leave home town to explore the somewhere out-there. But miss home terribly.
I can still recall how i was crying at night cos miss home so much and never been so lonely in my life. i was all on my own.
But things always get better after some time. I make friends. i start to enjoy my hostel life. i start to get used to the stressful exams. I start to join activities that i enjoy.

n now im stepping into another stage of my life. no more studies. n im never alone anymore.

Neeway, naturally i became the photographer of the night, help to take "family" photos. i felt like an outsider. mm.. I am wat. Gees.. confusing.

crabs is good. at home i used to eat the best part of the crabs. But u see when u r with someone else, the big claws have to give to junior member and senior member. So i eat the most leceh parts.. the small claws that take me whole night to chew n bite and i think i need to see dental soon. muahh..

Not sure why, i dun really enjoy eating with JL's family. always feel so awkward. Not much things to say. feel so not my place.

GoiN curLy ?!?

During the wedding photo shooting. The make-up ger curled my hair. i kind of like it. After i let go my hair, i look very lady like and sexy. muahhh...JL may not agree with it as he ONLY likes long straight hair. MAN !!

maybe later i will go n buy thoese curler (plastic one, the one our mum used to have) I had the electrical curler but it is not easy to curl our own hair since u cant see the back of ur head and it takes longer time to curl the hair, hold on it and let go. Arm is extremely tiring. Believe me.

So after the experience during the photo shooting hair styling, i will try to use the traditional curler, which seems to work for my hair. a bit of hair spray . my hair can curl the whole day. cool

Shall try it out and let u see the outcome.

Im going SexIer...hair style.

GermaNy ThirD

Sis won the bet. Germany won the match for the third place.

Goshh.. so Kan Chiong.. tmw morning i shall know whether i lost or win.

Sis bought Italy , i bought France.

Fingers crosssss !!

FranCE !!! Go !!! U Go !!!

Im Sure to support France. Im working in French Company. logical right ? But being physco by my sis that portugal is stronger, frenh players are mostly "seniour" players. In another word, old n weaker. so my support towards France was shaken and being realistic. I bet ten bucks for Portugal.

PTuiii.. Portugal Kelong one. They lost it. Phtuiii...

so i decided to remain my support to France for the final. Gosh.
They maye be older but hey, older means experience wat !!

ButTTTT prediction says, Italy will win. GrrrRRr
Neeway, Boss decided to bet for France too. He too lost bet to portugal.

Company sponsored for final match vewing at Hotel. But i guess at 03:00 am i better sleep than watching those mad men chasing after one ball game. Boring.
I rather hug my smelly pig pig and dream my way to the next day.

We were saying, if France won. will we get a day holiday or leave in lieu kind of thing. Clapping happily. many cols on leave on 10th July (Monday) .

Football Fever !! or Football Flu !!


U go France !! Go !! Go !! Go !!

cant find animation of France flag. still flag will do lah. Just make sure they win.

T.H.U.R.S-day NitE

met up with Yumin at City hall after work. She has changed quite a bit. prettier i guess.shorter hair. sexier attire. we haven met for more than 3 years.

she was telling me abt her social life. no boyfriend yet. working hard to find one. her bf CANNOT shorter than 170cm . seh recall man by their heights. mmm..she joined SDU. she went out with friends. she try to social as much as she could to know someone. she joins activities. she is happy. she is quite different in a way as maybe she has exposed to more people/activities. open minded than i remembered. but somehow, when she speaks. i still feel the same old Yumin who do not know how to beautify her words. she is still that straight forward and not language-wise.

Yidong & Helen waited for us at the restaurant. we have "Ma la" steamboat. i had sore throat after the dinner @_*.

We had quite a fun chat. from work to marriage life to caring abt Yumin's singlehood. haaa... Yumin & YiDong keep arguing. we jokinglu said thy like cat & dog when meet will fight. But just for fun.

Helen's father-in-law passed away 3 months back. sudden one.
she till now no license. the car they bought only used by her husband. she dun even know how to start the engine. we all fainted when hear that.
she dun plan for baby now. she said wanna enjoy for a year.

Yidong..dunno how to describe. i still find him weird in some way. the way he laugh. fake. he has a kelantan gf. Helen kept saying he is "xiao bai nian" little white face cos he is very fair.

gotten quite a fair bit of news of our NTU frens. Not all i remembered.

Tmw got to go n renew my passport. then go n settle house reno. hopefully they have amended what i have pointed out.

Foot Reflexology + _ +

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Received this article from a fren. Maybe it's useful.Just store in my blog for my reference.

The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot, if you massage these points you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the organs are on right and left foot, the heart is on the left foot.

This time, it put organs on the feet as they are. Typically they are shown as points and arrows to show which organ it connects to.

It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here.

This is covered in great details in Acupressure studies or textbooks.

God created our body so well that he thought of even this. He made us walk so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping these organs activated at all times.

So, keep walking...

GathErinG..

Yumin sms me last night asking me for dinner on thursday with Helen & YiDong. I was quite surprise as we seldom go out like this.

I was like .. uh ?? mm.. well.. ok. then only my brain started to tune to the right channel and manage to recall the details and answer him. i think i made slight mistakes, but who cares, he will forget anyway and ask me again when im mor conscious, awake.

so, work work work. lunch. work sleepy work sleepy work. finally knock off. paid my credit card bills. sob sob sob. regret spending so much last month. 300 plus to pay. pok kai liao..

then tot i can finally rest awhile on my train journey home. just sat down n listen to radio. Fely someone knock my knee with his bag. Looked up ! darn ! my boss. he saw a zombie ( i mean me ). so he sat down n started talking ( felt like he is talking to himself ) cos my brain still blank. i can just answer "yes.. yeah.. ok.. ic.. correct.. ohh..".. finally he reached his destination n got off.

But i cant sleep anymore. pheeee.
