Went to shop around yesterday @ Suntec & had dessert w my fren @ the japanese restaurant, The Sun and Moon @ Wheelock...

I love my Tofu Cheese Cake!!!

It looked darn ex for the size, but trust me - it's good!!! ^^

Minmin had this, their sweet box special of the night.. It's really interesting - from front center clockwise.. There is chocolate icecream, mochi w red bean paste, konnyaku and another special - the sesame pudding...

All are good..but i still like my cheesecake~!!! ^^

Quite the bu shuang with somebody.. All of a sudden disappear, and totally shi zong... Sms dun reply, call dun pick up.. Really can't be bothered to deal with this kind of 'pattern' la.. It's not funny, it's juvenile... -_-"

Should i say the outing on saturday is disastrous or hilarious? I really dunno.. But what happened is an eye-opener for me - and i'm sincerely going to try to never attain the same state... I think it's quite sad... But no matter how, i'm glad i got to know her a little bit better... :)

___________________________________________

But the most most important thing!! I learn how to blade le!!! Yeah! Went ECP on sunday with Gigi, Winy, Richard & Vincent, cos Gigi & I wanted to learn blading!

Not very skillful - being two hours only, but i can move on my own, get a certain amount of speed, and cross small humps.. Now my only problem is stopping! Hee... No la, i still have problem tackling hills and slopes.. Vincent dragged Gigi up slopes, while i needed a substantial amount of help from Richard... Hee.. happiest is Winy le, sitting snug on her bicycle...

Really eh, I didn't really sweat from exertion on Sunday.. It was ALL nervous sweat! Wa lao eh, scary lor, the slope... My 2nd fall was on the long long slope near the seafood restaurants... Then there was one point it was so funny, i didn't see Winy stopped in front of me, and i went crashing into her! So i literally hug her around the waist and hang on for dear life... ^^ Then on the way back, someone also "copy" me la, bang bicycle also! Haha...

Vin helped buy a cake for Winy to celebrate her birthday, and it was really quite funny, with "freshly-laid eggs", "strawberries plucked and chionged back to SG overnight from Cameron" and someone "not sleeping" to make it... =D

Many many thanks to Richard, my shifu!! Or rather, my "sh(if)u"= tree... Hehe.. Just picture me hanging on for dear life~ =P

Really glad i listened to Gigi and tried it out.. =)

The "Wash away Your Sins" Conversion kit!!!

My Final Choice!! Haha!!!

Went for dinner with Jean, Raman and their friend, Angeline @ Pepper Lunch yesterday... The new USA beef one is good... I like it! =) Was going to go home when we remembered shops in Wisma opens till late.. The shopping bug bit Jean & me, and we dragged Raman shopping with us.. Hee hee... We had so much fun!!!

Saw this amazing lady outside Forever 21... She's shopping & eating her dinner at the same time! It's not like bread or titbits or watnot... She was having rice & veg lor!!! Amazing....... *applause* She's either very brave or very desperate to shop.... *see above*

Ooo, the toiletries section @ Topshop was so interesting, each side had like a different theme - One was the "Miso Pretty" label, the other was "Boss Lady" label, and the last is like "Dirty Girl"... There are also some very very cute ones!

This is one of the funniest.. *see above* Saw this "Wash Away your Sins - Conversion kit" there. This is so funny! The first person that comes to mind? Hee.. Unfortunately can't put up his name, but guess who this will suit... =P Hahahahaha... Jaime, u know right~!

I wanted to buy a sharpener for my new eyeliner from M.A.C just now when i passed by Shop A. It was $4.90, and i was quite ready to fork out the money already.. Then Jean reminded me that Shop B is just upstairs, and it's probably going to be cheaper.. So i thought, that's correct, shall not waste money.. So we went up to Shop B, it was @ $1.90. So, pretty satisfied, cos cheaper ma.. Then Raman asked - what is the difference between one of these "beauty stuff" sharpener and those in the stationery shop?

Wa.. I stunned for a while... Amazing, i realised... We've all been blinded by the perception of wat is appropriate or acceptable... Hee... *see above* My $0.20 sharpener from the stationery can work equally well!! Told Jean, whoever was the one who came up w the idea of selling sharpeners for beauty stuff @ these high prices must be laughing up his/her sleeve at all the blur people in the world... Moral of the Story: Think before you act!!! ^^

My Horoscope today~!!!

libra
Make up your mind! Today spending too long making decisions won't benefit you. In fact, it could cause you some unnecessary grief. That's because today you'll tend to overanalyze your options. The simple solution to this problem is to make decisions more quickly, especially on unimportant matters. love*** money*** work***

Ala.. today hor, i did such a dumb dumb thing you know..

so dumb till i cannot believe it also...

I stayed up till 3am last night to do my comm assignment..Trying to make it as perfect as possible.. Then i saved it on my thumbdrive, this morning to go FAL and print..

Then - (i think anyone can predict la hor) i forget to bring the thumbdrive out!!!

Wa lao eh.. i tell u, i felt like banging myself on the wall leh... Just that i'm already on the train, and if i go bang my head on the train walls, i think pple will call security lor.... Scared some kind of weird terrorist attack... -_-"

Then luckily i brought my laptop out... So wat to do, re-type the whole thing from memory... On the train, there and then... Sian lor.. Some phrases i forgot, so had to think and think again...

sigh... somemore already very stone le from late night doin this very assignment... Can't believe myself...

Luckily reach sch, got Justin to help, if not also dunno how to transfer the file out to print.. Then we had a concensus - really leh - this class ah, really no sense of urgency leh.. We are late le because of my printing, but we don't feel the need to rush like that.. hehe... =P

Then during the group discussion, we all laughed so hard, we all got stitches, and Poh went hiding behind the teacher's table.. hahaha... Caught it on video too!! hehe.. shall try to post it up somewhere.. Justin was mimicking WW's laughter, and it was really a good one la!! Super funny today.. I think we laughed for nearly 8-10 mins lor... =D

Went for lunch w Poh & Justin after that.. pity WW had a proj meeting, if not i think it would be great!! =)

Like the Lai Lai @ JP.. Roast duck is still my fave!!! hee...

Went gym in the afternoon w Jaime.. Haiya.. very long never go class, forgot a lot of the moves le.. But still very shiok, you know, the song "it's all coming back to me now" by Celine Dion? Yeah, that's how it feels like.. ^^ A fren say I very healthy lifestyle now.. i guess most important is that it's a lifestyle that i'm happy with also ba.. If no motivation, no matter who or what, also won't do it one lor...

Still quite tired, so going to sleep soon..

Going to be working the whole day tml.. hope i'm going to be productive! Must be!!! I wanna get this done, i want to concentrate on my projects soon le...

tired tired...
done what i can for today le... going home to stone a bit..
sian.......
='(

I think i will really go crazy this time... Just came back to work after a week's break, and i find the entire database in a mess... It's going to take at least 2 weeks to put all to rights.. I'm really quite pissed with my boss this time.

3 things:
1. Ask me why the packages are only captured as the balance, and without the original sum bought. - Cannot believe it, the last time we had to re-key the entire packages, i told him that if we are to key in the total bought, we need to enter the used items individually for all.. which is over 2000 customers, and more than one transaction each lor.. HE said ok. Now!!! Wa lao eh....... Blame me?

2. They want the pricing that each package was bought for. In the first place, from the very beginning, when this started, they told me that if the price is not on the card, then never mind. Now, also my problem??? I'm going to have to dig thru over a thousand records, and search thru our sales records for the past years!!! what the hell.. counter screw up, also my fault??

3. then now they want the date the package was bought to be keyed in. It must be keyed in when making the "purchase" of the package one. And in the first place, the version of the software that we had all this while did NOT have this field available, and no where to key it!!! So, what else to do now - go through all 2000 cards and retrieve the info manually!!!

Win liao lor, right!

dun say Weekend burn.....

weekdays also burn ah... -_-"

My favourite song right now... Look real careful at the words... =)
Listen/get to it here...

Natasha Bedingfield
Single

Ah yeah that's right
All you single people out there
This is for you

I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me
(Cos I'm happy where I am)
Don't depend on a guy to validate me
(No no)
I don't need to be anyone's baby
(Is that so hard to understand?)
No I don't need another half to make me whole

Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't

[Chorus:]
This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

I'm single
(Right now)
That's how I wanna be
I'm single
(Right now)
That's how I wanna be

Ah yeah Uh Huh that's right

Don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good
(I like who I am)
I'm not saying I don't wanna fall in love 'cos I would
I'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cos you say I should
(Can't romance on demand)
I'm gonna wait so I'm sorry if you misunderstood

[Chorus]

Everything in it's right time everything in it's right place
I know I'll settle down one day
But 'til then I like it this way it's my way
Eh I like it this way

Make your move if you want doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't
'Til then I'm single

This is my current single status
My declaration of independence
There's no way I'm tradin' places
Right now a star's in the ascendant

Actually yesterday, there was something which made me very mad and i really wanted to blog about it.. Havens, i even wrote out a draft cos i didn't want to miss out a single detail of what this ID person did... Then i didn't get a chance to get online to write cos another fren kept me occupied listening the whole night and even half the morning... -_-"

So i was actually still quite irritated this morning - and i complained to a friend about it.. And i guess it's really why i prefer guy friends sometimes.. He's quite a laid back person, so he didn't say much and let me complain. And after i talked myself out, he helped me get a bit of a different perspective on the matter..

(Btw, my horoscope today: "Listen to others when they tell you to take it easy -- and ask them for ideas." Haha.. Particularly apt...)

So now, i guess i am still a leeetle bit upset with the ID, but not that i'm going to go out of my way to be difficult.. Maybe if i didn't know what the ID is like, i would be able to better convince myself that my friend is right, and the ID really didn't mean it... But i guess i'll try... @_@

_____________________________

Anyway, unbelievably, seems like whether or not i will be having another bf has become a source of jokes for a certain few friends.

One keeps asking who is next, another asks if i've been out on dates recently everytime we meet - which is about every other day - and one even tell me, "can keep" when i happened to appear with a guy friend... Really cannot believe it.......

Ok, so probably i have not said so yet, thus i will state this officially: I fully intend to remain single for the time being, no intention of becoming 1 of 2 anytime soon.

So, please don't ask me the same Q everytime i go out with a guy... Or do i need to castrate them for them to be my friends?!?!
_____________________________
Which brings me to a point -

Why guys have lots of gal-friends is ok, and gals having lots of guy friends is not???

Yes, i do indeed have a lot of guy friends. This is what has always been, and i've never hidden that fact. Don't like it? Let's move out of each other's way. I don't need people to judge me with such prejudice and bigotism. "

Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone."

All these are from Clem's camera.. Hee... Lovely!!!

sick.. very sick...
felt utterly miserable yesterday..

combination of food poisoning and cramps... Man, i felt like i want to die lor... Sigh...

So sorry, u all have to take care of me.. But no matter how, i loved the fireworks!!! Hee...

Very Big "Thank You" to - Kai, Jean, Jeff, Lisa!!!

went to watch the fireworks tonight and it was so beautiful!!!

Met Jean, Kai, Clement and Jean's friend + daughter @ Raffles City... We walked over to Marina Sq.. Kai, the eternal charmer, got Theresa warmed up within the 5 mins we were in the ladies! haha... Amazing man...

Well, then we walked over to the Esplanade.. Got a nice place by the bay, far far from the other people, and had our picnic.. Jean baked potatoes, Pauline made maki, I bought cakes, Clem sponsored the Takoyaki & titbits, and Kai volunteered his services as cameraman and all-round entertainer for Theresa! Hee... I love that kid, she's totally cute! Kai put her on his back, later she will apply the same to Clem, and climb on top of him.. ^^

One of the best things i heard tonight...
Mum: wat do u say when people say you're short?
Her: I'm not short, i'm petite!

Later... Theresa is sitting on Kai's shoulders...
CLem: Pull kor kor's hair...
Kai: *sternly* i'll throw you into the water ah!
Theresa: I never pull...
Kai: Clement kor kor's hair is untidy, come, "wash" for him!
Theresa: Ok!
=D

Held her during the fireworks, and it's absolutely heart-melting when a kid trusts you to protect her from all the big, noisy stuff, and enjoy the lovely show... I'd rather be doing the semi-crunches again than lift my hands from her ear....

I had a lovely lovely time tonight...

Met XY later at night for our date to watch The Lakehouse.. Sigh... Even watching it the second time doesn't take away the magic and beauty of the show... Love is magic, love is impractical... Love is supreme...

9th Aug~ National Day!!!

I had so much fun yesterday!

Firstly, my sister called back from Aust to chat with us, and we chatted for nearly an hour! =) Then i had to prepare for the afternoon's outing already...

Met Gigi & her frens to go ECP- we gals cycled, the guys were rollerblading... It was so exciting, they helicopter flying the big National Flag flew right above us when we were at the jetty! It was really big, and you know wat, I'm proud to be a Singaporean! ^^ There was this family, all 20 over of them wore red T-shirts! So cool...

Then we went for dinner at the EC Lagoon. One person was very hungry, so we ordered a lot a lot of food! There was carrot cake, both dark and white; fried oyster; satay (beef, mutton & chicken); chicken wings (2 for everyone); bbq stingray (my fave!!) & prawn mee! Ate till very very full.. Then there was still a little leftover lo, so in the end, we started playing the codebreaker game again to get rid of it all.. =) The last game, they were trying to sabo Gigi to clear the rest of the carrot cake & 'ketupad', ended up the mastermind himself kena! It was so funny!!!

After that, we went for a short walk, then went to McD to sit and chatted till 11 plus... Seline was totally amazing, she practically finished 2 pkts of large fries all by herself!! As Vincent put it, the mountain of fries has been levelled.. ^^ And then poor Richard was like the official joke of the day - everyone seemed to be suan-ing him.. haha... Super poor thing... =P (hahahahahaha...)

Hmmm... I'm missing sugarcane juice already...

Jialat, got cravings ah.. Hahaha...

8th Aug

Went for dinner and ktv with RIchard.. We sang for 3 hours straight! It's a wonder we could still talk after that.. haha.. Then went to the b'day party of one of his frens, got to know a new group of frens again.. Tiffany is a really nice gal.. Hee... =P A bit stone la, only got home 3am plus...

After much preparation, today was finally the NBS Welcome day... All our worries, all the preparation finally were put into use as we talked to the freshies in our own group...

I was lucky i think, my group, although not the most onez kind, were perfectly willing to go along with what ever we made them do, and even did it pretty willingly.. Hee.. Applause for 32!!! It's due to their easy-going ways that today will be considered as a success for myself.. =)

I guess even though i'm not exactly a stranger to psychoing people to do things, i still need a little bit of encouragement, and a bit of achievement to prove to myself that i can do this. Not everybody is born confident you know... ^^ I certainly wasn't.. If i didn't try i would probably never know i can do this.. It's the only reason i achieved as much...

My only regret today is probably that i didn't bring a camera today, and take photos with them..=) Or i could show u how interesting some of them are... heh heh heh...

And also also...

A very big thank you to Jeffrey actually, for coming over to help out with my group.. Hee.. Really appreciate it..

Had lots of fun crapping with Paul, Xiaoxuan, Chiew Yan & Jeff during dinner even though all of us are pretty much half concussed from lack of sleep.. haha... Esp Xiaoxuan, whom we kept threatening to help her do facial... hehe... Evil Paul.. *Tsk tsk tsk...*

Now, to sleep, and recharge, wake up early early tml morning to chiong my assignment...

lalalalalala...... @_@

Promised to put up more photos of my creations... haha...

Had another fun evening yesterday~ =)

Went home after work to have dinner with my mum and sis.. My mummy cooked wonderful dishes, including her 'zhao pai' pork cutlet, pig's liver, chicken soup and fried prawns.. Super satisfied, super yummy.. hehe...

Then went for "Tokyo Drift" with Gigi and Winy... Nice show, great driving, not so great storyline though.. haha... Ya, thought i might be late, who knows, heee.. i ended up reaching Cathay earlier than them..

That's be the end of the evening le, and we went our separate ways back... Then the funniest thing happened - i bumped into this ex-classmate on my way back, and he is so totally 'ji-po' lor.. I think u all know wat i mean ah... haha... And it is a guy lor... *shake head* He was trying to find out if i was going out with this fren of theirs... And i'm like, 'hello, it's like how many many years before, u all also asking the same Q lor...' Sigh.... Some people are just so one-track mind- so guys and gals cannot be frens?? =p

Anyway, going to start work le.. tata!

I had a really great time yesterday! Went for dinner with Richard at the Asian Kitchen at MS, followed by a yummy ice-cream from Andersens... Then met Gigi at the Balaclava at Suntec...

The atmosphere there is really quite good.. The deco was tastefully done, a nice balance of opulent and class... Music wise, it's not really my choice, but still all right ba... ^^ They had a live band too, but not as good as the one in Rouge... haha.. or maybe i'm picky... =P Got a sofa seat later, and we started playing the 'code' game - and a lot of bloopers too, very funny! hee.. not telling anyone here, or someone will chop me.. haha...

Well, then we went to East Coast to chat and relax.. Went back a little late, but pretty ok, not too stoned or anything... =)

Busy busy busy..

people, expect me to be pretty stoned these days.. haha...

tata!!
