Y2007 New Year Resolution

Not sure what im busy with but just don't seem to have time to do my usual stuff. Haven't got the time to upload photos too.

Well, it has been second week of Y2007 and im married for 2 weeks now. Things are great, getting better i must say. We started to feel comfy with our new home. Still have many things have yet to tidy & pack but we will do it gradually.

Oh yeasss.. It has been the third year i blog on my New Year Resolution !! Just a guideline to my one year planning i guess.

A Flash back on my Y2006 New year resolution and how much have i accomplished my goals

Careers & Travel:
Boss has been good to me. Appreciate my work and have high hopes in me.
He has given me many opportunities to learn new things and see different aspect of IT life. It is enjoyable and fruitful.

This year, finger cross that i'll have chance to travel as boss has been mentioning this for the nth times but seems like things get delayed and delayed. He din fly for the whole of 2006 too. One reason was due to change of Management. We have a new boss who looks like Jurasic park 1 actor.

Feb'07 we will know if i get promotion/pay rise/bonus. hoo..fat new year i hope.

LGG & i are suppose to go for honeymoon in Jan but trip was cancelled due to insufficient participants. So we have rescheduled to Feb. Hopefully this is confirmed.


Health :
I've been quite reqular to gym. jogging has been my Y2006 main sports.
I din get to work on pilates/Yoga much cos the schedule always do not fit.

This year, i will continue with my jogging & of course i will try to fit in my schedule with yoga/pilates.

This year i learnt dancing (cha cha.waltze.etc) not a bad experience !
Stay Healthy always !

I've not been taking Mcs for 2 years. Amazing huh ! im entitled for 30 days MC per annum but all gone to waste. But i rather not taking than suffer from health problem.

Family & Love:

JL aka LGG (Lao Gong Gong) & i finally tie the knot on 30th December. We have moved into our love nest and started our new life together.

I've picked up my cooking since. It has been years since i last cooked a meal but now i prepared dinner for my LGG daily. Cool huh ! Im still picking up slowly from my mum & mum-in-law and of course recipees books come in handy all the time :)

Glad to have a proper family gathering on my wedding day. The photos are so precious. I've got to arrange & print them out.

Y2007 Resolution..
o stay happy. healthy.organised. less temper.
o Love my LGG & let him love me more.. heee
o Polish up my cooking skill !!
o Keep slim. Been adding more "bak" cos less exercise. Pick up Pilates/Yoga
o Go Bangkok for shopping spree
o Looking forward to our love product :)
o Try to spend time with my mum. Muak !
o keep in touch with friends.
o Stop drinking Coffee !!

This year resolution is shorter cos i think it is the matter of achieving so not to put too much pressure on myself too.

All the best in Y2007 the year of piglet ! Roast pig is nice, always ! heee

OuR Wedding Day - 30th December 2006

Details of my wedding day on 30th December 2006


1. Preparation

Mum & aunt woke up as early as 430am to prepare breakfast.

Brother they all too,woke up and bathed and went out to buy coffee for me.heee my special request.

Basically, whole night i cant sleep. not sure why but just the mind did not seem to be able to rest. nervous with the day i guess. I got up with one-sided headache.

Mum made some herb tea for me to drink which seemed to work.

Make-up artist arrived at 7am. Photographer arrived at 8am.

After, make-up, i changed andand LGG came just about the same time.

2. Groom's arrival

LGG came to pick me up at redhill home. Upon arrival, he called up.
Yann & Chenn (boys) went down to open car door for him.
Then LGG gave them one ang pow each

* this is part of the customary, boys of bride's family will open car door for the Groom *

Then LGG & his brother (brought along a traditional layered basket with goodies like cakes/fruits..)

Mum is so nice that she invited LGG for breakfast.

3. Sister's challenge

My sis,sis in law, autie & chenn they all blocking the door to the room where i'm sitting with face covered by the veil.

*Groom will have to pass the challenge to lift up the veil and bring the bride with him *

LGG is asked to sing mandarin love songs to me.. he got the hint few days back and managed to sing a song with the self-prepared lyrics. He passed la !! but the singing a bit errr.. heeee

Then of course got things like they asked him who is he looking for ? why looking for her ? blahh..

Finally, he is given permission to enter the room & be with his bride.

In chinese custom, after leaving the bride's home, they need to return on the same day.
But, mum said no need to make extra trip back, so we walk one round to the other end of the corridoor outside our house and come back.

Then, Mum gave us both each a cup of chinese tea or is it herbs to drink before we took off.

4. Temple

We moved on to temple.
Since we have many people, so all got to sqeeze into 2 cars.

bridal car- 6 people including driver. phewwww.

Mum cant follow us, this is part of chinese customary too. she and sis took another transport to go direct to our new home.

At temple, we are surprised with the wedding song that they played. It was the really traditional wedding music. " pom(3) pom(2) pom(4) pom(4)...." you know.

Then venerable do chanting and bless us with blissful marriage.

All these are videod by JK.

We spent some time at the temple waiting for some relatives.

5. Our New Home

We headed to our new home.
Many people already there. This is where we have our tea ceremony & buffet lunch.

Yann went up to our bed to jump, as according to chinese customary, this bring lucks to the newly wed to have children and to have boy.

Boon, jia & Suh came too. So glad to see them especially Boon for making a trip all the way from penang just to attend my wedding. He & jia are my Dinner Mcees.

They took many photos of my marriage customary items. posted here.

So after all the tea ceremony & makaning, relatives roam about in our house. chit-chating.

Afternoon, we proceeded to hotel for the preparation of our wedding Dinner.

6. Our Wedding Dinner

Tired but cannot sleep.

Boon, Jia , Suh , LGG went for the captain briefing to setup and prepared for the dinner with proper timing and all.

I'm the bride so just ready for make-up & be "mei-mei".. heeee

You cant imagine the how nervous LGG & i were. The march in was so "Kan-chiong", we just keep telling ourselves to keep smiling.

Yann & Chenn are my flower "boys" they carry a small basket and throw the confetti. After few rehearsal at home, they did a great job that night and enjoy themselves, cutey cutey :)

Our wedding songs selection:
First march-in = This moment
First dish =
Second march in = A moment like this

I wore the gown that i took picture in the morning, white one and a bit sexy as mid section are transparent.

I wore the second gown on that night, off white but very elegance as the material is so comfy and queen like

I chose to wear my tea dress as my secodn gown on that night as i think the pink strikes especially when take pictures. and it does not have a long tail like my first & second gown. So i can move from table to table easily.

Well. We are so glad this is over and we are now officially ( english or chinese cutomary) husband & wife. heeee

We felt like King & Queen during our 2 days stay in the 5 stars hotel. Breakfast was taken up in the room. our room was upgraded as a complimentary from the hotel to a full suit with 2 level. Originally it should be 1 level bridal suit.

The end of our wedding in Y2006. As we walked into Y2007 with a brand new life. Sharing our life together hand-in-hand.

All the loves go to my Laogong & my family and friends who have been a great help to make all these happened.

Next blog have to be my new year resolution.

3. Guo Da Li

Mum & brother got me a very huge roast pig. got a shock when i saw it but nice to eat. hee

We have lots of food and those wedding goodies. Mum ordered many boxes of wedding cakes to give to relatives & friends.
Mum also prepared buffet lunch for relatives. My aunt(71 year-old)volunteered to cook on the night before & on our actual Guo Da Li. So helpful.

most of the guests are my mum's friends and our relatives. some aunts i really longggg time never see. Anyway, that day, JL & I just smile smile, say "Thank you" and "Thanks for coming". so fake. But no other better words come to our mind. We are tired too. cos we eat the last. haaa.. cos paiseh lah.. everybody attention is on us.

Customary #2

(2) Marriage Dana

Yesterday 10th December(Sunday) we gave our Marriage Dana in Temple.

This is the second time i join them for the praying. Im still not familiar with the reciting. Cannot catch up !!

Dana means we are giving vegetarian lunch to the temple people as a form of offering to the temple to bless our marriage. One of the Buddhist sutra requires 88 times of kneeling up & down. My mum-in-law said they seldom recite this on sunday, maybe the venerable chose this for our marriage Dana.

After the praying, we proceed to vegetarian lunch. where we both bring the food to the venerable and they return us with the portion of food as kind of blessing.

This is the first celebration of our wedding with the blessing of venerables.

B'day party

Today we attended LGG's x-col's son's two year-old b'day party. cute cakes



I wonder how much he will remember of his b'day at this age :)

Customary #1

Here all the customary begins.

(1) "An Chuan" Bed setting.
According to chiense custom, newly wed has to set up their bed according to chinese custom so that their relationship is long lasting with many children.

So, mum been checking with the customary wedding shop and we have set-up our bed accordingly to what we know to the extend that we can accept.

Things to prepare
(1) Lian ji <-- symbolises many kids
(2) ang pow <-- symbolises lots of $$ to come
(3) dry long yen <--symbolises kids also i think
(4) leaf (not sure what leaf), mum prepared this , i think is chase away bad things
(5) our pyjamas <--always together as couple i think


Our bed setup..


i want to keep this in blog so that when i grow old, maybe my children wanna get married, i can still remember :)

Dying Young

Recent months there were shocking news of young people ranging from teenage to adult below 35 dying in their sleep. They are people deem fit with regular exercise and healthy lifestyle mostly married.

The lastest two cases are young couples, one was doctor. One was 29th year-old guy leaving his 7th mth heavily pregnant wife behind.

Scary really ! col said, their time has come as decided "up there". my col said from the trend , people who die in sleep are young people below 50 of age. so beware !!! and i was saying maybe year end, "up there" need to reach quotas, so anyhow drag the innocent people !!

Jokes aside, the government does not seem to be taking urgent action, looking at the death rate for just the past 2 months. There must be some similarities from these people. maybe staying around the same area, some chemical leakage or radiation or whatever it is !!

Pls save "us" aka the young people who still have so many years to live and to contribute to the country !!

LGG's sms:

" always remember..
Life is impermanent..
nothing is certain.
Only death is certain..
so we just live each day to the fullest :) "

remember to tell you loved ones that you love them when you have chance, as you never know if tomorrow you'll still have the chance to see them again.

Eat till I drop..

TooTh-Ache

Last time went for dental check-up that stupid dentist dunno do what to my teeth now on-and-off i feel toothache.

He filled the teeth which i never feel pain of anything. After the filling, now i really get the pain on and off.

Stupid dentist and make me suffer !! paid to feel the pain !!

Tickets

yehh !!!

Today i just collected our tickets to The musical. The date chosen is the date of our ROM anniversary. so we will take leave the next day since the musical will end late.

So kiasu huh, already made up our mind on how to celebrate our anniversary heee.

Wonder if we have to wear nicely to the musical ? haven step into the esplanade theater.. a bit mountain turtle !!

NeighbouRs

Saturday i met my new neighbours. They just started their renovation. Seems like they are in hurry to complete the reno and will move in soon. I met the two old couple (husband & wife) who came to view my house with their contractor.

Their contractor is the same as ours. Last time they came to see our reno too & i intro to them. So, i will get commission for this. muah !!!! another unexpected ang pow !

According to my neighbour, their son (30 year-old) bought the house and he is still single. so, they (parents) and their son will stay in the house.I think this son is working overseas (contractor's info). The father cook a lot as informed by the wife. They are english speaking family, seem educated so i guess it'll be easier to get along with people with similarity to ourself. Just hope we can get along in days to come.

Best if they cook more and we get free dinner !! muahh !!

Last MarathoN of Y2006

Bravo !! hugs for my dearie for completing the 10km with me.

I know it's hard for him since he has no chance to train or exercise due to his busy work schedule. Gosh.. i dunno why each time i go Marathon, i really can feel the excitement with the crowd all so ever-ready to run. that's what keep me going each year and the satisfaction of completing the journey !

This year is special cos both of us completed the run together, hand-in-hand. love the feeling of doing things together with someone you trust and can rely on.

I told him we r going again next year ! heee.. he fear the idea but i think i'll get him to run again next year !!! muaaaahhh !1

We both got the medal for completing the 10km. I've got two now. Y2005 & Y2006. Yipeee!! This year they provide more goodies. They even have banana for runners after the run. massage session for full marathon(42km) runner and unlimited mineral water & 100plus so cool !!!

My boss yesterday told me, he has personally make an effort to tell our French boss of my satisfying performance.. i wonder if my work really that satisfying ? or b'cos i always help him do his personal stuff that he appreciate my effort ???

anyway, he said he has done his part to give the best for me. The rest lies on the hand of our new French-born but Australian background boss..

Fingers crossing, toes crossing.. i can cross anything so long i get the so-called "Best" appreciation in term of monetary & ranking for my "HARD" work !!!

Next year is PIG year. we will get our bonus in Feb. Hopefully, this will be a very fat, healthy, pink pig. I can have the best 30th birthday every since it's in Feb.

Think too much.. now still working on saturday. Working but blogging.. im working hard.. really.. heeee

Cheong Sam

First time in my life .up to now that i ever tot of trying up a cheong sam. Can't figure out why but it's not bad at all. May take a snap later.

Last week, i was in Town with a relocation project. So went lunch with gal col. As usual, when in town for lunch, will definitely go shopping. beginning of Nov i got myself a working bag. now, i got myself a Cheong Sam. but this is not those very tight fitting , long, red type. It is modern cheong sam that is shorter, above knee level, green and a bit silky feeling.

When i wear, i feel like waitress in chinese restaurant except it's not red. The sale person said i should wear it with stocking (panty hose). cos it splits at both side , so it can go quite high up.

now, i think i'll wear this for my Gou Da Li in Melaka. i will tight my hair up and become very very chinese looking.. muahh..

1 month towards our BIG day

Today is exactly 1 month away from our wedding day. So looking forward !!

2 pairs of new shoes this week

so, i broke my sandals strap. due to continuous rainy days, my lousy leather shoes gave way, the side leather peel off and it just peel open leaving the side of my foot exposed ! gosh !!

i just bought a replacement of my old-sandals on saturday from C&K. those black strap sandals. cool but i got blister after wearing it cos the strap cuts. got to wear a few times. always like that !!!

today, boss on leave, so i sneaked out around 11 plus to buy my new shoes. now very popular those covered pointed shiny with a bit of heel shoes. so i bought one from DMK. haven taken the pic. I love it !! so class. i wear today, wonderful ! no blister but later in the day the back start to scratch my feet, still i got to paste handiplast. the size is 1 size bigger so it wont cut my feet.

tmw will wear it again, off-white , it looks like wedding shoes.. haaaa. wear this with 3 quarter pants and those sleeveless singlet. cool. i love this look. so IN.

Happy shoes shopping !!

10km tis SundaY @-*

One year already. the post on our ST 10km marathon just like yesterday. How time fliesss.

However, this year, is a bit different, more people participate but all ended up cant go. Boss will run 21km as usual. Jen went back for fren's wedding, skip both marathon this year. tom who cant run, on night shift, skip. Yong has thing on, skip.

So, once again, im dragging my-best-fren aka my dear hubby to go for a 10km marathon. heeee. i hope i can at least run 5km non-stop.

PMS now. starting to get the appetite for food. really crazy. whenever pms, im craving for food. that is bad. tmw & friday will go trekmill. got to get into that mood to be able to run this weekend.

yeah baby! December activity:

(1) ST marathon
(2) home for customary "gou da li"
(3) shift house
(4) Our Bi day
(5) our anniversary !

basically, December will be the busiest month for us this year !

Junior Story ?!?

Yesterday i finally found the book of "The Phantom of the Opera" in library. it is in Juniour section. Can't believe it ! but the junior version is good in the sense that it tells the story in simplisitic manner. So you get the picture of the story. Not in depth, but good enough.

The phantom is actually a human being who was born ugly and abandoned by his own parents. He was a genius in architect & learnt some magic that allowed him to protect himself from others.

He fell in love with a lady who was impressed with his singing but not his look. He forced her to be with him and forbid her from seeing other man especially the man that she loved and loved her.

blahh.. at the end, he let her go cos he cant bear seeing her feeling sad as she cant be with the man she loved and he killed himself cos he cant live without her.

I wonder how will it be like in musical. Cant wait to see it !!!!

10 Things Happy Couples Do

10 Things Happy Couples Do

>By Mark Goulston, M.D.

Happy couples know that the real relationship begins when the honeymoon is
over. They know that unless you maintain the garden of love, its beauty
will wither and die. In a recent column, you discovered the 10 relationship
mistakes to avoid. Now discover the 10 things that happy couples do:

1. Go to bed at the same time.
Remember the beginning of your relationship, when you couldn't wait to go to bed with each other to make
love? Happy couples resist the temptation to go to bed at different times.
They go to bed at the same time, even if one partner wakes up later to do
things while their partner sleeps.


2. Cultivate common interests.
After the passion settles down, it's common to realize that you have few interests in common. But don't minimize the
importance of activities you can do together that you both enjoy. If
common interests are not present, happy couples develop them. At the same
time, be sure to cultivate interests of your own; this will make you more
interesting to your mate and prevent you from appearing too dependent.


3. Walk hand in hand or side by side.
Rather than one partner lagging or dragging behind the other, happy couples walk comfortably hand in hand or
side by side. They know it's more important to be with their partner than
to see the sights along the way.


4. Make trust and forgiveness your default mode.
If and when they have a disagreement or argument, and if they can't resolve it, happy couples
default to trusting and forgiving rather than distrusting and begrudging.


5. Focus more on what your partner does right than what he or she does wrong.
If you look for things your partner does wrong, you can always find
something. If you look for what he or she does right, you can always find
something, too. It all depends on what you want to look for. Happy couples
accentuate the positive.


6. Hug each other as soon as you see each other after work.
Our skin has a memory of "good touch" (loved), "bad touch" (abused) and "no touch"
(neglected). Couples who say hello with a hug keep their skin bathed in
the "good touch," which can inoculate your spirit against anonymity in the world.


7. Say "I love you" and "Have a good day" every morning.
This is a great way to buy some patience and tolerance as each partner sets out each day
to battle traffic jams, long lines and other annoyances.


8. Say "Good night" every night, regardless of how you feel.
This tells your partner that, regardless of how upset you are with him or her, you
still want to be in the relationship. It says that what you and your
partner have is bigger than any single upsetting incident.


9. Do a "weather" check during the day.
Call your partner at home or at work to see how his or her day is going. This is a great way to adjust
expectations so that you're more in sync when you connect after work. For
instance, if your partner is having an awful day, it might be unreasonable
to expect him or her to be enthusiastic about something good that happened to you.


10. Be proud to be seen with your partner.
Happy couples are pleased to be
seen together and are often in some kind of affectionate contact -- hand
on hand or hand on shoulder or knee or back of neck. They are not showing
off but rather just saying that they belong with each other.



Even if these actions don't come naturally, happy couples stick with them
until they do become a part of their relationship. They know that it takes
30 days for a change in behavior to become a habit, and a minimum of six
months for a habit to become a way of life and love.


My comment : We are defnitely happy couples. we meet most of the criterias.. heee

NothinG Personal

Scary, i really not fond of knowing strangers reading my blog eventhough i know blogspot itself is open to everyone.

So, from now onwards, there will be no photos sharing or no personal stuff in my blog. I will just use this blog as a channel to relief my thoughts in general terms and events.

Strangers, pls look else where, My life has nothing much for you to tag on.

7% GST !!!

Received an email from a friend which make sense..

For those residing in Singapore...(this was sent to me by an ex-auditor)
Example 1
In 2006, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $60,000,
the income tax you need to pay is $2,700 (8.75%).
If you spend $800 amonth on needed goods and services,
the GST paid for 5% will be $480Total=$3,180 in Tax paid.

In 2007, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $60,000,
the income tax you need to pay is $2,600 (8.50%).
If you spend $800 amonth on needed goods and services,
the GST paid for 7% will be $672Total=$3,272 in Tax paid.

From $3,180 to $3,272, the effective increase is 2.89%.

Example 2

In 2006, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $400,000,
the income tax you need to pay is $61,650 (21%).
If you spend $4,000 amonth on needed goods and services,
the GST paid for 5% will be $2,400Total=$64,050 in Tax paid.

In 2007, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $400,000,
the income tax you need to pay is $58,700 (20%).
If you spend $4,000 amonth on needed goods and services,
the GST paid for 7% will be $3,360Total=$62,060 in Tax paid.

From $64,050 to $62,060, the effective decrease is -3.11%.

Example 3

In 2006, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $25,000,
the income tax you need to pay is $187.50 (3.75%).
If you spend $800 amonth on needed goods and services,
the GST paid for 5% will be $480Total=$667.50 in Tax paid.

In 2007, if after rebates etc and your net taxable income is $25,000,
the income tax you need to pay is$175 (3.5%).
If you spend $800 a month on needed goods and services,
theGST paid for 7% will be $672Total=$847 in Tax paid.

From $667.50 to $847, the effective increase is 26.89%.


The fact is:The poorer you are the more the GST is going to make you poorer !!!!

Vaccination jab

Today we had our bird flu vaccination jab provided by company for free. Last year we took it, they said the jab will protect us for at least a year. dunno how true.

The date we are going is April Y2007.

Artistic couple to-be !

Long DistanCe COusinS..

so Martin finally returned call. He sounds so ang-mo but aunt Jackie said he looks very Asian. haaaa.

Tonight we r going out for dinner. Cousins meeting:
Chee Yin - my father's second elder brother's only daughter, my brother's age. The last time i met her was during her mum funeral which was more than 20 years ago. She only remembered me as little girl. I only remembered her as young girl who resembles her mum's look and crying in her room. The picture of this scene still in my mind. I was 5 or 6 i think.

Martin- Aunty KT (my father's 6th sister)'s son. I dunno which son. cos i dun remembered any of her children. 3 or so. Only remembered seeing one boy ( dunno which son, may not be Martin) with very cute blushing face when they visited us back in Melaka 20+ years back. When i was about 8 to 9 year-old. So Martin is a cousin i have never met before.

The Moods of a woman

An angel of truth and a dream of fiction,
A woman is a bundle of contradiction,
She's afraid of a wasp, will scream at a mouse,
But will tackle a stranger alone in the house.
Sour as vinegar, sweet as a rose,
She'll kiss you one minute, then turn up her nose,
She'll win you in rage, enchant you in silk,
She'll be stronger than brandy, milder than milk,
At times she'll be vengeful, merry and sad,
She'll hate you like poison, and love you like mad.

The Moods of a Man

Hungry!
Horny!
Sleepy!

Alexandra-Village

We have been taking Ikea free shuttle bus from Sengkang for weeks, Always the only 2 passengers for the last bus heee.. i think the driver must have tot. "These 2 again ? " well, we actually helping Ikea, instead of empty bus trip back to Ikea, at least they have 2 passengers .. kekekke

Since we alight at Ikea, so we usually have our dinner at Alexandra village. The seafood fried rice is nice when we tried for the very first time but second try not that good anymore. Conclusion we draw = the first night we tried was when we both very hungry, so anything tasted good.

We like the curry rice too, cheap and filling. Today we tried the char kuay tiao + punggol Satay <-- both unhealthy food. but once a awhile, ok lah. the char kuay tiao is good a bit oily but nice. The satay is so-so, nothing special.

Today Aunty Jackier called me up, telling me cousins Tim & gf were here in s'pore already. They r both from London. A long distance cousin i have never met before. Aunty KT aka his mother told me abt their trip months before, i gave them my cell phone no for them to call me when they r here, but seems like they prefer i initiate the contact than they call me ?? weird huh . but well, aunty Jackie said just give hima ring and bring him to some food court to try out local food. she said aunty kt sent email to us abt their trip which i checked and din see any emails from her. so no choice, tmw call up their hotel to see what they wanna do lah. siann..

WeEkendS burnT..

Gosh.. weekends after weekends need to work !1 next weekend big migration for atlas II. CC on 1 month leave some more, so left few of us to do. Sian. expected long hour work !! siann.

Today we have completed the relocation, finally all shifted down to first floor. But the seating bench still not released. Guess we have to burn one more sat for the shift to occupy the seats.

so now till december, work non-stop ! im so hard working !!

Recently, been hearing lots of gossips among cols on another col. How i felt amazed with guys being so busybody and gossips so much !! who says only woman do that ? guys do the exact same thing and worst !

This coming thursday will be second last dancing class. so fast ! glad that we have been friends in the class. At least next year D&D will know more cols in different departments :)

MoOdy WomAn

She is someone who is so hard to get along. We know each other via my x-col whom ended up "not-friend" with her after their trip to Egypt. They just seem to be having very different personality that causes the "break" I went Bali with my this x-col we can get along, we even had great fun back then in Bali.

Somehow, she and i become buddy. We become gym buddy cos she went to the same gym and im sort of gotten into gym thing b'cos of her. You see, when u have buddy, easier to get hook for some hobby. that's what happen to me. We always meet in gym, chatting/dinner after gym. last time when i still have the membership, almost every saturday we will meet in suntec for gym in the morning, then lunch, sometimes shopping.

she has very strong character as in she cannot bear the feeling of being looked-down or belittled. she always think she is very outstanding in many ways including her look. At least i think that's what she thinks as she mentions it all the time.."im so pretty.. im so clever.. im blahh.." well, in a positive way, u can say she is someone who is confident but after too much of self-praised. u will feel, what happen to this person ? it'll better if she is humble and able to lower her self-esteem.

maybe cos she din grow up in a normal way like us. she has to work all her way to get her education, she is not pretty last time(fatter and has lots of pimples as she said) so now, with her education achievement and monetary capability, she can be someone she wants to be. But she forgot if she review her attitude and character she will be a lovely lady that she claim she is but i guess not to the eyes of others.

She likes to say things that hurt people, as she thinks it's funny to see someone feel hurt or angry. Im too familiar with her this trait. so i wouldn't get offended. she said she don't know why she do that, she even do that to her own parents. she cant get along with 2 brothers, cant get along with many many many people. Especially when she is not in good mood, she likes to do that to people around her.

I think it is not a very good hobby to keep. she offended people and that explains why her good friend turn cold towards her, her friend don't want to go out with her.sometimes maybe she is not happy that she don't want to see other's happy ? not too sure why she acted like this.

Hope the best for her. This is not the first time i said or write this for her. Hope she really clear her head and be a nicer person.

Life Is A Gift

Don't take life for granted.


There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind.

She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He's always there for her.

She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can see everything, including her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him.

Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying. "Just take care of my eyes dear."



This is how human brain changes when the status changed.

Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.

Life Is A Gift

Today before you think of saying an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.

Life is a gift, Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And fulfill it.

JaCuzZi shiok..

This morning check my blog, the pictures posted yesterday became so small that i cant see who is in the pictures. I guess must be the web hosting responding slow. yesterday changes only reflected now. shake head.

Yesterday Jen & i went to continental hotel gym. she is on off day and i don't need to work, just nice. We wanted to go for so long le cos they said very class. Since it's company's benefits, MUST enjoy it.

Actually, we don't need to bring own gym gear. cos our company coorperate plan covers all gym gear (clothing, shoes, towels and all). but we not used to wear their clothes, you never know how they process/clean those clothing/shoes. many people wear before. so we took the trouble to bring our own.

After our treadmill & some light weigh lift, we went direct to Jacuzzi.. shiok.. first time ever i had Jacuzzi. The water pressure from the spray is not so high, Jen was saying the one she went at cruise more shiok, u can really feel the water is massaging ur body.

We din go swimming, as the swimming pool is full with kids (tourist) and lots of angmo fryng themselves to be salted fish.

That was our 1/2 day at Hotel Continental Gym. Not bad at all. Next time may bring Laogong go. Can jacuzzi together.

Work-out for healthier life style !

PhotoS siZe

Lousy Photobucket. after the upgrade of the website, now photos cant be minimised. lousy. what's the point to upgrade and yet cant do the smallest thing like minimise the photos ???

im too lazy to go n edit one by one. just let is shown BIG here.goshh..

Jia's BD dinner

Birthday celebration for jia. We went to a Jap restaurant down town. The food is so-so not that wonderful. Suh they all (been to Japan) said the restaurant decorations details have similarities to restaurant in Japan.

Jia n i took many photos. some posted here. Pretty birthday gal.

Fun

Today we learn Rock and Roll. Cool. really not bad at all.

I find that participating in after work activities organised by company is good in knowing more people. Since my department is away from banking staff (RM, traders.. so on..) so this is a good chance to know them.

Boss din make it to the lesson today. i got more chances to mix around. Im not bad in that though. socialising :)

got to remember all the steps learnt. tmw have to teach boss some more. good to practise.

weekend can pratise with Laogong. next week can teach Cynthia. practise again. No wonder i can remember all the steps so well. haaa. cos without knowing i practise a lot.

Yipee !!

Company X'mas party on 10th december (Sunday) but We will have treat at temple. So miss it this year. The party will be held at Orchard Mandarine hotel or something. Sigh.. wasted !!

from this weekend onwards, i may be working every weekend till december i on leave. Siannn. but look at the bright side. Pocket fuller. so ok lah. gosh.. got to buy more facial product to take care of my skin. tired !

U danCe I danCe

tmw will be our 5th lessons. cha cha cha 1 1/2 turn is difficult, dizzy when do few times. most of us not doing it well.

Disco rock : forward/backward 8 steps , marry go round & sweetheart are easy for me. But many seem having difficulty.

maybe being younger, i can remember better than others... nostly uncle & aunty. there is one receptionist in out bank, basically she cant do remember any steps. really dunno how to teach her. she keeps forgetting anyway.

hopefully tmw will learn few more variations. too bad, all guy partner are uncles !!! bored to death !

LCD TV Incident

Long stories actually.

We bought Sharp Aquos 32inch LCD TV on 30th September. Got the set delivered on 7th October. We watched few times (weekends when we dropped by), everything seems ok. the image is sharp & clear.

Never knew, last weekend, when we welcome our buddha into the house, JL's parents are watching TV while waiting for JL's uncle to come for the praying, the TV started to show dots and lines everywhere. I guess this is the first time we ever on the tv that long, maybe more than an hour. that the screen started to give way. Luckily, we found out now. as we bought the TV less than 2 weeks than.

So, monday i called out Sharp to go onsite for checking. i demand for 1-to-1 exchange as we bought tbe set for less than 1 month . I will NEVER accept a repaired set.

So, last friday, i took 1/2 day just to be there for the sharp technician. they only operate Mon-Fri. Two technicians came with the circuit board. They identified the problem as the main board is faulty. So they can change the faulty part on the spot.

But of course, i wont be that stupid to get a repaired set. I've paid so much for a "second" hand set ?? i told the techinician i want sharp to get me a new set. One of the guy is reasonable, he said the circuit board is from Japan, they can solve the problem fo sure.. blah.. the other guy is a pain in the ass. He is like teasing me saying, " you want a new set ? then u have to call our manager lor.. we cant do anything ! we just here to repair.. " and give me that kind of look which make my nerves go all the way up !!

I raised my voice and tell him, "be reasonable ! i bought this set for less than 1 month, and u expect me to let u repair and remain this set ?? put urself in my shoes will u take it ?" that jerk said " if every customer want to change new set , how can we handle ?" he is loud to me too . i told him " im being the customer i have the right to demand that. If you cant do anything, get me your manager number, i need to talk to him !"
He then sat down and acted as if "nothing to do with me" he said "you call the customer service lor" and mubling something dunno what . i raised my voice and ask him to keep quiet as i don't see the point of talking to such person with lowest brain power and lowest customer ethics !

Immediately, i called sharp and im pretty angry , naturally i have raised my voice. The customer service told me "be calm, madam. no point raising ur voice. slowly. tell me your problem. dun get angry as it may affect ur health".mm.. i was like.. hey, where is my EQ ? people dun have EQ, does not mean i should be like them ?

" so, i've soften. told her what i want and what his lousy technician is telling me". so after discussing with his technician and stoore. they said they have new sets that they can make the exchange as i've requested. So fine.

They asked me to call my dealer to see if they can get me a new set, as dealer usually can get faster. i called dealer, he said " can sharp approve for the exchange ? blahhhh.." so sharp said nvm lah, they will get one direct from shapr instead of from dealer as dealer seem uncooperative.

After the whole thing. I called up the dealer and ask him " you have given me the old set is it ? impossible that i just bought it n its part was faulty. " dealer said " no, we gave you new set, just that unlucky this set have problem.." i cut off and continue " n u r being so uncooperative. i bought from you, and ur set have problem and sharp agreed to exchane but u hesitating and ask so much ?? " he is trying to explain . i continue " i lost confident in your shop. i will not recommend friends to your shop for sure. Thanks for all the trouble" and i hung up the phone.

Well, no choice, sometimes we have to be rude to people who r not nice to us.

pheww..tomorrow sharp bringing a new set for me. i will make sure i on the tv for at least 1 hour to ensure it lasts that long. and i have to take another 1/2 day just to wait for hem to come. stupid !! 1 day leave gone !

SelaMat Hari Raya

singapore Hari Raya always one day. M'sian Malay is luckier i think they have few days off.

I saw many malays with pink baju kurung/kebaya. Nice. They always wear same colours when they go out for visiting with family. so unison.

Today we went to buy study tables & cabinet. so, these are the final piece of furnitures for our home. Pok kai liao.

We went to feel the sea breeze in ECP. so long never go there le. PSI seems normal now. so time to get some fresh air. saw a bunch of school children having some acticities on the beach, playing games and all. Reminded me of the old good days in school. how time flies. now, i dun find any of the games they play interesting. childish actually. haaa.. but those were the games i used to play during schooling days.

Gosh. many ah neh in ECP. and we din realise we are sitting near a bunch of "shit".. so the air we breath in actually mix with the smell of someone's left-over. yeakkk

Tomorrow working again.

Joke again

One day a man visited an asylum. He was curious how to differentiate a normal man to a mentally sick man. He then asked a doctor he met.

The doctor said "easy. i can tell whether a man is normal with one question."
Doctor " You are given 3 tools (a) a spoon (b) a cup (c) a bucket h
ow will you clear the water in the bathtub filled with water ?"

Man "easy. I will defnitely use the bucket!!"
doctor "i think u should register to my hospital too "
doctor " a normal man will just plug off the water stopper at the bathtub"
man" ...."

ghaaaa...another joke told my boss in mrt.

HouSe BlessIng

Ah Beng : "mm.. it smells like shit".
He then pass the shit-alike thing to let Ah Seng taste using his tongue.
Ah Seng : "mm.. confirm it is shit as it tastes like one"

Both of them feel relief : "heng ar !! luckily we do not walk over it, else we might have step on the shit !!"

Good Bye Mom ?

Crack me up.

It looks like a sad story.................but do continue reading to the end!.............It a lesson to learn.........
I was walking through the supermarket to pick up a few things when I noticed an old lady following me around. Thinking nothing of it, I ignored her and continued on. Finally I went to the checkout line, but she got in front of me.

"Pardon me," she said, "I'm sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that you look just like my son, who just died recently."

"I'm very sorry," I said to her, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes," she said, "As I'm leaving, can you say 'Good bye, Mom?' It would make me feel so much better."

"Sure," I said. An odd request, but no harm would come of it.

As the old woman was leaving, I called out, "Good Bye, Mom!"


As I stepped up to the checkout counter, I saw that my total was $1027.50.

"How can that be?" I asked, "I only purchased a few things!"

"Your mother said that you would pay for her," said the clerk.

Eating Out

while waiting for my col to take over duty im very free now. Completed most of the requirements by boss. now listen to mp3. But still cant go home cos have to wait for col to take over. sian.

Last week was a "different" week for me. as i have join a meeting/conference with French bosses. This is really not anyone can have the opportunity. somehow i felt honoured. Boss sold me good. i'm assigned to be the new process owner/manager. I'll be in-charged of the process management. now it's still in the development stage. So i joined the discussions. French is nice. not all though. But at least the bosses that i met up that day are nice. the listen and accept opinions and ideas like me. Im considered super low rank to them. Cos they are Head of XX CIO and all. Pheww.. felt nervous. But i guess im doing fine.

friday, boss invited French Auditor to lunch ( hint : bribe ) he is another nice french. treat us like friends. single though. what a waste. cute n successful. Boss said in our company, the trend for inspector is to move torwards COOs after some time. So, he may be one of the potential COO in time to come. so it's a good time for us to build up good rapport. Since i intend to stay here for the next 10 years. muahh.


Oct will have another session of meeting with French management. Got to prepare myself with all the info and details. not many opportunity to impress bosses. so must grab every chances i have.

ApprECiatIon

I decided to buy some fruits + bird nest basket to boss's wifey. i ask Jeff n Jen. they all ok. So we go ahead to order online. I found the address from phone book, Jen got the postcode, we went through the website n decided which to buy. She made the order. that's it. Jeffrey din do anything but just to pay.

So the shop said will deliver around 5pm. We r fine lor. today meeting n meeting. i almost forgotten all about it. the after our final meeting around 5 plus. boss suddenly email to 3 of us said he is touched with our gesture of showing concerns to his wifey. they love us all. Muahh.. cant stand it. he is always like that. Last year when we celebrated his b'day, he said he almost cry. i almost fainted.

Anyway, i guess a little something to make him n wifey happy is something very thoughtful from us right ? hee. Bonus big big can liao. !!! Jen felt the same.

Happy Working. Another wise and right decision made ! happy !

AuDitors ComIn 2 Town

This is once in 4 years event. HQ auditors from Paris will be coming down to inspect Asia Regional aka our side. Bored. Cos have to compile n documents all the process n control. I wonder why all these years there is no proper documentations. i have to create most of the documentations. felt so fake. only do it when auditor is checking.

Boss said it's "cosmetic" but better to have it than being pin-pointed as not managing well with proper control ?

Geess. bored. weekend got to go back to work !! lucky got $$ else sure bang wall !!

boss's wife went through knee operations, minor one. ok now. i tot of buying some essence of chicken n fruits to deliver over his home. But seems like my cols dun like the idea. mm. im not trying to "polish shoes" or what. but i think he has treated me well. a little concern for his family member is not wrong right ?

I guess i will go ahead if they dun want to join. i hope i've made the right decision. cos i find lots of words flying around when we do things that favour boss. they just hate him. i think i dun have to care so much as long as he thinks im doing well in my job. afterall, he is the one decides my salary, bonus n position.

political ! political ! im learning to be political-proof ! got to wear thick thick clothes!

BLoo-Dy daY

Today one of the European company invited boss to a exclusive sharing of their product. Boss brought me along. It is a very exclusive invitation. There is a welcome sign board just for us. Our name cards, welcome gift. all you can order starbuck drinks and continental hotel ala-cart lunch (costs them $200 + )

Continentl Hotel food was fantastic i must say. BUT very costly of course. one bowl of soup-of-the-day costs $18. one orange juice costs $12. i had atlantic salmon which costs $48 per dish. For dessert, i had italian Gelato ice cream which im too full to finish. wasted.

A great experience. Beside the product intro, we are given lucky draw. boss chose no "7". I chose JL's birth-date "5" and guess what i got ?
i got a laptop bag. which cost around $80-100 outside so happy. Boss got a multi purpose adapter. He kept eyeing on my bag. Cant stand him. keep asking me to give him. im so reluctant cos i wanted to give to JL. then vendor is "smart" enough to say that they will send one more similar bag for boss. cant stand him always like that.

Ohh. the thing i wanna tell is that.this morning before we left to the vendor's site. I found out my "good-friend" came. This time really unprepared. the symptoms not so obvious. i felt it is coming but din know so soon. I was wearing G-string which makes it so hard to wear the pad. Damn. n im wearing a light beige colour skirt which makes it so very difficult to disguish should any leakage. Damn !!

But no choice, cos i cant be telling my boss that "hey, im having period. Inconvenient to go site-visit ?" Just have to b careful ! so i have to go ladies whenever there is a chance. n sit carefully. whole day i cant sit comfortably. But luckily, no leakage till im home safely. Thanks goodness !!

How i wish i dun need to have period. So so so troublesome !!

A touching stories..

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you."

The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who had been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my 3 children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.

That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. "What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.

"I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you, " I responded. Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very much."

That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an Angel's.
"I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting."

We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.

After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. "It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said. "Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.

During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation-- nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed.

"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home. "Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.

A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.

Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place where mother and I had dined. An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless I paid for two plates -- one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. "I love you, son."

At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: "I love you," and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time."

CroC HunTEr

Reaaly shocked to hear the news of Steve Erwin killed by Sting Ray. He suppose to hunt for croc and why sting ray ? Ironic isn't it? It's like you are bus driver but killed in airplane crash kind of logic.

radio said, In Australua, his death is felt similarly to Princess Diana's death in Britain. He is an Australia-Icon for his croc hunting stunt n his daring encounter with wild animals. Many people go to Sydney Zoo just to see him. Not the animals. His wife fall for him in the zoo too.

I used to adore him for his adventures. So daring n fun. and he ever famous cry "crickey" whenever he was in the stunt of catching wild croc. After him, there are many more wild animals tv host but i still prefer Irwin.

Too bad, good things never last. good people too.


Let him rest in peace and condolences to his wife n children.

ComIng SoOn

Three more months to go. We cant wait.
Our home is getting ready for our furnitures. 7th month has passed. we have cleaned our house. bought my "white" dishes from IKEA. kekekke happy. been washing them twice. so squeeky white n clean. remind me of the advertisement when the actress do the zig-zag on the plate with her finger.

End of this month, we will have our furnitures in. lalalla. cant wait to see how will it turn out to be !! bought 2 IKEA lights. simple n nice. just the way we want it. n we bought two folding chair. black one from IKEA too. so far that's the only furniture we have at balcony. kekek. a cup of tea at the balcony for the two of us sounds good n cosy. i plan to have a small table there for us to have breakfast in the morning during weekend. how nice :)

gosh. our weekends are packed with all things to do till december. luckily we plan 1 year ahead else i guess will surely lost in the items of "things-to-do"

Muakk. Still have to thank my laogong for all these. especially the whole house floor mopping. hope this can continue every sunday when we moved in ? exercise right ? All the loves go to u *x*

GaStrIC ?!?

yesterday after work went to Cosmo with boss n Jeffrey. boss finally bought ipod nano which costs only $299 for 2G that is cheap. the last time my fren can get me discounted price still 300 +. Good greab this time i must say.

After the exhibition, we just head home. it's around 8 plus. i feel hungry all the sudden and from hungry to feeling sick. feel so weak. in the train with air con im bursting into sweat. i really feel i will faint right there on the spot. Luckily i manage to hold till bukit merah.

usually if i go gym, i will reach home around 9 and start eating dinner. this has been some time n im feeling ok. wonder why this time will like this. Body is really not within my control. Scary !!

Got to ask my mum what "bo" to eat to strengthen my health.

CrAzY BeH aFter ToT

The ambience was good. they r using the daring red for the decoration. wash room is super red n when i was alone in the ladies. feel kind of creepy.

The food n drinks are "extremely" costly. one plate of finger food costs $18 one glass of house wins (french wine) $12. I have been drinking glasses after glasses of orange juice. i took wine only before we go for the show.

The show started at 10:15 with 15 minutes break in the interval then continue till about 11:40. The seat costs $85 in deluxe B which is at the side of the stage . LOUSY. cols r complainuing that why we cant sit in the middle. must be vendor pay at lousy rate. I wonder how much is the ticket for middle row.


We sit at higher row which allowed us to overview of the other cols.we can see how the vendor (ladies) flirting with our bosses. cheapskate woman. but this is how they survive. they use this method to get contract 1.2 million contract our spending that night is around 3k plus. is peanuts to them.

some photos taken. The ang mo is our french boss. i mean x french boss. hee

DRivI-nG aWay

This evening our department is organising farewell dinner for OC. Tom decided to drive us there in his brand new car. cool. mitsubishi sports version. i forgot what model.

We met at 630pm. Tom said he already did the necessary research to go to the venue. Which we all tot is Yatch club. so he drove, we check map. Jen is superb in reading maps. Yong n i are equally hopeless. We passed by changi village. still we r pointing at those shops selling curry fish head. never knew, we actually miss the turn n went to the wrong way.

when we reached the yatch club. no one was there. called Bob. he said from email it is the other another club house, the sailing club at changi village which we earlier on passed by. Damn. no u turn. so dunno how Jen direct n Tom drive, missed few turning n we went all the way to changi airport. we even see the budget terminal. really fainted.

After 45 minutes of driving up n down, Boss smses ask why we still have come. we finally reached. Just in time to eat. The farewell speech was over. Anyway, who cares about the speech or who is leaving.

The food was lousy. wine was sour.orange juice was artificially sweet. LOUSY. Just hope tmw we get better performance & food at Th "siao" horse !!.. muahh.

Oh.. i bought a jacket & a cradigan. cheap cheap cos offer. and good grab. good quality some more. happy whole day !!

FrenCH ConnEctiOn

Did u know that Eva (desperate housewife actress) is learning French b'cos her partner is speaking French when they make out and she dun understand. She freak out and decided to pick up French to "Enhance" their love making ?

All sort of weird reason for doing something huh.

Ohh. Im learning French too. not b'cos my husband is speaking French in bed but b'cos this is one of the thing i intend to do this year which i missed the registration in April. So before reaching the end of the year. I shall register FOR SURE this time.

The class will be starting in 20th Sept - 8th November. every wednesday. 8:30 -10:00 pm in CC near my home.

Tryong to register via website today. ONCE again that stupid gahmen website having problem accessing when clicking " Register" stupid. Last time im experiencing the similar problem n i just gave up. But i guess this time if cant register online. Got to go down to register in person.

another thing piss me off. The course fees increased from $68 to $90 what the heck !!!. Tmw i will ask the cc why the price rise !!

Im Speaking french soon ! Darling, make sure u understand me hor ! ghaaa.

CrAzy HoRsE !_!

French boss leaving us. New boss coming.

We will have farewell dinner for him this wednesday at bay shore. Thursday Vendor is throwing another farewell party for him. All invited. Guess where will it be ?? hoo. YEASSS>. Crazy horse It Is !!

Woahh. They will be getting a private room for all of us and the "GIRLS" will perform just for us. i think the guys will be thrilled with the "treat".

Since the Crazy horse started in S'pore, not much of overwhelming response. Cos the performance is way too conservative comparing to Paris's crazy horse. I guess our Paris boss will just go there for the wine n expensive drinks. Not for the gers. They have seen a far exciting one back home.

I tot if i were to go Paris, i will drop by to watch the Crazy horse performance. But it will be good to see it first locally. Anyway, i dun have to pay a cent to enjoy the performance? mm. I wonder if their bodies is sexy ? muahh..


Shall try to see if photo is allowed. kekekek. which part to take ? ghaaa..

My progress so far:



closer look at the 4 flowers & butterflies ( 2 not completed )

CurRy FISh HEaD ?!?

Friday We went out for 2 hours lunch with Boss + Jeff + Vendor. Boss wanted to eat the ever-famous curry fish head at Changi Village. So off we go.. Changi Village ! Here we come.

I guess we have to know which shop to eat to get the best Curry Fish Head ? Cos the restaurant we went to has a big sign board stated "Best Curry Fish Head" .
But boss they all commented that the dish is not as expected. The Real good curry fish head is very aromatic. But we din smell that.
Anyway, i enjoyed the super big crabs more than the curry fish head. The curry gravy is nice but the crabs is nicer. Im a crabs Lover ! The pepper crabs is better than No sign Board. Cos the pepper is so spicy. Shiok.

After the lunch, we walked around. I noticed the boat station to go Pulau Ubin has changed so much ! It is completely different from what i remembered 5-6 years back.
Gees. that was long.
The last time i went was with YokoGawa colleagues. Those were the days. The Indonesian guy is aftering me. But i think he is just not the type im looking for ? Or maybe cos im still too young ? (still undergraduates).
My sense to romance dun come early. It only comes after i start working. Slow huh.
I still see him once a while in redhill area. Th last time i bump into him, he said he is working somewhere near there. Small world.

Im gonna go P. Ubin again with JL. To rewrite the "last" memory i have in P.Ubin.

MarAthOn-Ing

SafRA MarAThon Again !!



This year Jen they all cant make it. So JL and i went on our own.
Boss is running 21km so he left early as it started at 5:30am.
JL n i went for 6km that started at 8:00am. Already he is complaining sleepy lah.. go eat breakfast lah.. blahh..beh tahan ! so demoralising.

I was so excited. I dunno why but the crowd somehow motivated me. I started running and keep asking JL if he is ok ? cos he seemed bored and keep saying crowded n stuffy. ECP better blahh. Almost punch him cos so noisy. hee.

but then he seemed to pick up as we run. I started to feel exhausted and cant go on when we reachd 3KM. i have to walk. JL is still able to run. Geesss.how come he is fitter than me ? i go gym worr !!! so i've walked for 1km plus with JL running slowly to accompany me. the sky is so cloudly by then n it just started to rain. We don't want to get sick. we gave up the run and hide into Suntec City.

You'll be amazed at some runners. They run with baby pram !!! wonder if she is going there to run or what !

I guess ST marathon will be more fun n treat to "man" eyes as ST will have more working ladies who will show up in sexier running gear !

I think im going for Safra run again next year. At least this year i run continuously for 3km. Last year i accompanied Jen and most of the time we r walking.

For recording purposes, the journey of 4km+ we took 40 minutes.
After the run, we had Prata. Muahh.

DinNer @ CounTrY ManNa

Today supposed to celeb Meilin's birthday (past) ended up it felt more like a gathering. Meilin + Suh +Jia + kenny + Wei Lian (first time see him)

Some updates on their side though.

Meilin is in a relationship with the guy he used to hate. it proves love and hate is barely a thin line away. she has moved on with her career and will be starting her new job.

Suh started her master course in NTU. she determined to grab more opportunities from IT people like us.

Jia rebonded hair looks more feminine. not much updates on her side.

Kenny is sitting on the fence.. whether to go for SAP or Oracle CRM course.earning big bucks. planning to buy condo some more. still the funny guy. and the usual weakness of him "Bo sim".

Ji we liang. been fwding emails to each other but never met in person. he seems fatter than in the pictures. he is starting his job in s'pore.a new challenge for him i guess.

Astrology

JL's Birth-date

The Life Path 2 suggests that you entered this plane with a spiritual quality in your makeup allowing you to be one of the peacemakers in society. Your strengths come from an ability to listen and absorb. You are a fixer, a mediator, and a very diplomatic type of person using persuasive skills rather than forcefulness to make your way in the world . . When you embrace and exhibit the strenghth of your spiritual side, you are intuitive, avant-garde, idealistic, and visionary. These extremes make you interesting with much to offer society. You have the potential to be a deep-thinker, and no doubt interested in understanding many of life's mysteries and more intriguing facets.

If you are living with the positive attributes of the number 2 Life Path, you are apt to have the most delicate ability to be balanced and fair. You clearly see the full spectrum of viewpoints in any argument or situation, and because of this, people may seek you out to be a mediator. In this role you are able to settle disputes with the most unbiased flair. There is sincere concern for others; you think the best of people, and want the best for them. You are honest and open in thought, word and deed. You excel in any form of group activity where your expertise in handling and blending people can be used effectively. Manners and tact mark your way with others, and you are not one to dominate a group or situation. You are the master of compromise and of maintaining harmony in your environment. As the ultimate team member, you never demand praise or recognition.

In many ways, you are a creature of habit and routine, and you like your path and pattern well worn and familiar. Your ability to analyze and render accurate judgments is a wonderful natural trait you bring to the business world. You strive for complete accuracy and even perfection in your work. Perhaps you are not a leader, but you are a visionary and a very talented idea person.

On the negative side of the 2, nervous energy is a trait often observed in the 2. Because of this, you may be seen as an extremist who is sometimes the zealot in expressing likes and dislikes. Nervous tension can bring the normally easygoing 2 into a state of emotional outrage, which to those around you, may seem so out of character. Indeed, the 2 can sometimes become oversensitive. In some instances, the strength of the 2 can also become its weakness. You may find it hard to decide what to do at times. Twos often struggle against indecisiveness. Making decisions and getting your life in gear, so to speak, may be a challenge. There is a tendency for the many 2s to harbor feelings of uneasiness, and dissatisfaction with accomplishments and personal progress in life. The biggest obstacle and difficulty you may face is that of passivity and a state of apathy and lethargy. The negative 2 can be very pessimistic. When this sets in to any degree, you are able to accomplishes very little. If living on the negative side of the 2, you may lack common sense, and you are quite often unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality.

Even the more positive individuals with the 2 Life Path will prefer a more amiable and less competitive environment, often shunning the business world. You can best serve society in endeavors utilizing your skills of counseling and guidance. Much of your idealism is people oriented and quite humanitarian in nature. You expect a great deal of yourself.



My birth-date

The Life Path 6 suggests that you entered this plane with tools to become the ultimate nurturer, and a beacon for truth, justice, righteousness, and domesticity. Your paternal, or maternal, as the case may be, instincts with a 6 Life Path exceed all others by a considerable margin. Whether in the home or in the work place, you are the predominant caretaker and family head. While the 6 may assume significant responsibilities in the community, the life revolves around the immediate home and family, for this is the most domestic of numbers. Conservative principles and convictions are deeply ingrained and define your character.

You are idealistic and must feel useful to be happy. The main contribution you make is that of advice, service, and ever present support. You are a humanitarian of the first order. It is your role to serve others, and you start in the home environment. You are very human and realistic about life, and you feel that the most important thing in your life is the home, the family and the friends.

This is the Life Path related to leadership by example and assumption of responsibility, thus, it is your obligation to pick up the burden and always be ready to help. If you are like the majority with Life Path 6, you are one who will willingly carry far more than your fair share of any load, and you are always there when needed. In doing so, you take ownership and often become an authority over the situation.

In romance, the 6 is loyal and devoted. A a caretaker type, you are apt to attract partners who are somewhat weaker and more needy than yourself; someone you can care for and protect. The main ingredient that must prevail in the relationship is complete harmony. You don't function well in stressful relationships that become challenges for you to control. It is the same with friends, you are loyal and trustworthy. But there is a tendency for you to become dominating and controlling.

It's likely you feel compelled to function with strength and compassion. You are a sympathetic and kind person, generous with personal and material resources. Wisdom, balance, and understanding are the cornerstones of your life, and these define your approach to life in general. Your extraordinary wisdom and the ability to understand the problems of others is apt to commence from an early age. This allows you to easily span the generation gap and assume an important role in life early on.

The number 6 Life Path actually produces few negative examples, but there are some pitfalls peculiar to the path. You may have a tendency to become overwhelmed by responsibilities and a slave to others, especially members of you own family or close friends. It's easy for you to fall into a pattern of being too critical of others; you also have a tendency to become to hard on yourself. The misuse of this Life Path produce tendencies for you to engage in exaggeration, over-expansiveness, and self-righteousness. Modesty and humility may not flow easily. Imposing one's views in an interfering or meddling way must be an issue of concern.

The natural burdens of this number are heavy, and on rare occasions, responsibility is abdicated by persons with this Life Path 6. This rejection of responsibility will make you feel very guilty and uneasy, and it will have very damaging effects upon your relationships with others.

SomeONE out-TheRE

I was telling HL that, past few days on my train trip home, i saw a couple.
The ger is those down syndrome (her face tells me that), a bit retarded in her movement. the guy seems normal, a bit on heavy side. They r holding hands, the guy is holding her, playing her hair. the ger seems very much in love and all.

This is so ironic.
Normal gers with proper look, normal body movement, good educations, holding high post. But yet, cant get herself a boyfriend.

What's wrong with our society ? i gues the man is not working hard or wat ?

HL says she is giving up. she just too busy with her work and no time to meet someone. She is my brother's age. My brother already has 2 boys with the eldest boy reaching 10 next year. tsk tsk tsk.

I hope she will find her special someone. Cos i always believe there is someone there for everyone. Just the matter of time for u both to meet.

Best of luck to her.

HaiRy BusinEss

I always noticed ladies (aunties) dun bother to shave. They wear sleeveless blouse, short skirt, like any of us. But they expose their leg's hair, armpit hair at the same time.

Today, an aunty sitting opposite me in the train. Wearing knee length skirt. She looks fine if you dun look at her pair of leg. Her leg's hair is long and so obvious. I find it not so pleasant to see especially in office. Imagine u r having meeting with well-suited gentlemen and u r wearing skirt n all but exposing ur leg's hair or when u r presenting some project, lifting ur arm and showing everyone in the room ur bushy armpit ?? YEaaaakk

Pleaseee... auntiesss.. SHave !!! just a little effort. Aging does not mean dun maintain !! Phew!!

For You...*O*

Muak. Just a note of Motivation for my LaoGong.

Darling, Work hard but dun work too hard k. Must take a break to Miss miss me.
Hugs for you to keep u going.

Fat.Fat.Fat

Gees.. i din go gym for nearly 2 weeks now.my knee feel better but i feel FAT now.

Been eating n eating recently. Monday course eat buffet at Amara Hotel, today course eat western food. Mum is around, so everyday eat home cooked food. curry chicken n all. How can i not gain weigh ???

Got to do something abt my extra "bak" but Again, mind is willing, body is weak. I need some booster !!

TraiN ooooo

Will u "always" give up seat to elderly or pregnant lady ? It depends right ? Especially after work, tired and long journey. really hard to give up the precious seat to ANYONE.

Today, like usual, after work, tired. Got a seat and feel happy cos can sit down, rest my leg n listen to radio and rest my eyes. But just the next stop, one family came in with baby Pram, one kiddo, father + pregnant mum. The guy beside me immediately give up his seat to the kiddo girl. The father holding the pram n the mum leaning against the side of the train. I was like.. "by right" i should give my seat to the pregnant mum. But.. But..my mind is willing but my body is too weak to even stand up. they r telling me, "forget it, pretend u r sleeping"

Im just too lazy to stand up, as i know if i were to give up my seat, i'll have to stand from East to West the whole 30 minutes of train journey.

call me selfish ! call me not considerate ! call me anything. just dun expect me to give up my seat to ANYONE when it's time for em to go home from work.

Neeway, the pregnant mum seems healthy, she is walking up n down to take things from her ger or talk to her husband . i guess even if i offer my seat , she may not want it huh. so forget it..

CanT liVE wiTh-OuT PhonE

Today course. before i leave home, i realised my phone battery is running low.
No time to charge the phone, just grab the charger , tot can charge in class.
But too bad, the class has only 3 head secured plug which requires adapter and my phone is 2 head plug and no one has the adapter. so, no choice, my phone bat went flat during lunch time.

I felt so uneasy when i know im not contactable. worry if boss is looking for me or JL will miss me cos no sms from me.. hee..

I think this has become a "sickness" . We r so used to having our mobile phone. we check our phone all the times. life without phone is really not comfortable now. Gees.. how we depend on our mobile phone. feel unhealthy. i wonder i can dun check my phone or on my phone or email for a week. .. scary to even think of it. i guess i shall stay put with life with mobile phone and emails.

The BENEFITS of SEX

Did you know that we can determine if a person is sexually active or not by looking at her skin ?

1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests have shown that a woman who has sexual relations produces big amounts of estrogen which makes hair shiny and soft.

2. To make love in soft and relaxed way reduces the possibilities of suffering from dermatitis and acne. The sweat produced cleans pores and makes the skin shine.

3. To make love allows to burn all the calories accumulate is this romantic love scene.

4. Sex is one of the safest sports. It strengthens and tonifies all body muscles. It is more enjoyabel than doing 20 lapses in the pool. And you don?t need special shoes !

5. Sex is an instantaneous cure against depression. It frees endorphines in the blood flow, creating a state of euphoria and leaves us with a feeling of well-being.

6. The more we make love, the more we have the capacity to do more. A body sexually active releases a higher amount of pheromone. This subtle aroma excites the opposite sex !

7. Sex is the safest tranquiliser in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MORE EFFICIENT THAN VALIUM.

8. To kiss everyday allows to avoid the dentist. Kisses aid saliva in cleaning teeths and lower the quantity of acids causing enamel weakening.

9. Sex relieves headaches. Each time we make love, it releases the tension in brain veins.

10. To make love a lot can heal a nasal congestion. Sex is a natural antihistaminic. It helps fight asthma and spring allergies.

FIVE SECRETS TO A GREAT RELATIONSHIP

FOR WOMEN - >>>

1. It is important to find a man who helps around at home, who cooksfrom time to time, cleans up and has a job.

2. It is important to find a man who can make you laugh.

3. It is important to find a man who you can trust and doesn't lie.

4. It is important to find a man who is good in bed and who loves to be with you.

5. It is important that these four men don't know each other.

Muahhhh..

Our SatuR-Day

morning met up with contractor to fix the slanted cabinet. adjusted the balcony sliding door. now gottta call up hdb to fix the service balcony switch plug, it seems loosen and not tagging to the wall. lousy.

We found out there is free IKEA shuttle bus from Sengkang.yong ever mentioned to me but i just din bother. since we saw the shuttle bus queue, we just take the free ride to IKEA lor. 45 minutes ride from sengkang to Ikea. far.

Ohh.. we explore a bit of Compassvale today. found one foodcourt few blocks away. But still we find compasspoint convenient and nearer to our home.

Din get anything from IKEA again. wanted to buy plates. But JL keep saying check with his mum first since they have lots of spare sets. Dissapointed. i wanted those pure white plates n bowls. angry. throw temper at him. he said i always do that, throw tantrum at him when he dun agree with what i want. mm. I guess i have to review my temper. i noticed i did that quite a lot to him nowadays. bad bad bad. must keep my emotion in check.

neeway, we went swimming this evening. few laps and we got all soured. arm pain. Tmw have to make another trip to Sengkang again for the curtain wall patch up. Hopefully we can got up on time. limps sure tired.

Got to make it a point to exercise at least once a week. keep our hearts pumping, healthily.
