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.



Our dinner:

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.
