CoLD cOLd NiTe

It was so icy wind blasting cold last night!!!!!!!!

To be honest, I withstand cold pretty well but last night made me think otherwise (or maybe my skin got thinner or something).

It was freaking cold last night that I went I pop into bed at 11 odd and dressed in long PJs I was freezing and unable to slp (coz it was just too cold!). Tossed and turn before I decided finally to go close both windows in my room. Usually I just leave them wide open and even leave the fan blasting at the highest speed.

And our dear cute lil pampered apple in our eye whisky was also feeling the effects for the chilly night that he decided to tuck into bed with me. Literally plonking his furry bod beside me and although he is small in size, he took up more than half of my bed space! I din have the heart to shift him away coz he looked so adorable snuggled up in my pillows and blosters (yes, I have mini ones piled on my bed).

So I practically din reali sleep well last nite and am nursing the after effects of it. *yawn*

WeEkENd IdLe LaZe

Whoa lau, raining over the weekend again... Ultra sian lor

In fact, was so darn lazy, sian and turned off by the rain that bf and me decided to stay put in tomato land instead of lugging our very unwilling bods to town for a spot of shopping.

We made our way to the hawker centre and had very yummi (one of the best in singapore) hokkien mee meal plus a mug of sugar cane juice before singing our lungs out at KBox. Hogged the mics till close to 103opm before we left the place with slight sore throats back to my home and a greeted by a very hyper whisky *grin*

Whisky makes coming home a real joy *wide grin*

Sunday was reserved for a trip down to Chinatown in a bid to garner some festivities atmosphere but again the on and off (again!) rain put on a damper. Din reali explored much coz the crowds was a slight killer and basically (and honestly) there was nothing much to shop or look at.

You have the typical stores selling those taiwan muah-chee, sweets of 101 kinds, waxed goodies, fa cai cat and other knick knacks. Went off down to town for seafood at Fish & Co at Centrepoint and the service there was very friendly and attentive (though the calamari was a lil over grilled).

By then it was close to 8pm so we idled a lil more in town before hopping onto bus back home. Darn, weekend just over just like dat... So fast~ :(

cLuBbIng?

Do you club?

Frankly, the clubbing vibe is non-existent in my blood. I had only went clubbing ONCE in my 23 (coming on to 24) years of life. And I went because of one of my JC mates was celebrating her 21st Bday at DlbO.

It was a terrible experience. And it further put off this whole clubbing thing.

1) As we all know, the noise level at clubs are ear deafening, in fact the louder the more hip it is?! Half the time we were all shouting ourselves hoarse to make ourselves heard. I left at close to 2am and lost almost all my voice.

2) I can't take hard liquer though beer is fine. I'll break out in a rash. Had tequilla and whisky on that night though not on the rock but mixed with soft drinks and thankfully I did not wind up drunk. Almost puked in the cab though and had to get off halfway to puke in some drain. So unglam lor. Urgh!

3) I can't stand the stench of pregnant smoke at clubs. Left me smelling yucky from head to toe. Double yuck!

4) The female toilet scene was unforgettable. Long queues expected as everyone drank as though liquer was free and some girls realli got dead drunk. Puking non-stop at the basins/toiler bowls or laying half unconscious on the toilet floor with their other still sober pals trying to lift them up. Sad case man.

5) The bouncer was darn rude. Had grabbed my wrist roughly to check if I got the luminous 'mark' entry when I made my way back from the loo to where my pals were sitting . Ouch!

6) Bourbon coke taste awful.

I do have friends who are hardcore clubbers, going from one club to another and spending hundreds of dollars but it's just individual preferences. For me, I rather be out outdoors, basking in the sun and buring calories off my butt.

Clubbing? No thanks.

niTTy NiCknAmES

Nicknames... yes., dun we all have 'em

Was talking to Christel over msn ydae and she was saying it will be interesting to blog about the nick names she amassed during her schooling years. Got me inspired and now me am blogging and revealing my (embarrassing and funny) own league of nicknames (amassed during pri to sec sch daes).

*Taking a deep breath*

Here we go~

Now my name is Cheryl... pronounced as 'share-reel or share-r' but my very creative pri sch mates have much more innovate ways to roll my name outta of their mouths.

Such as: Seh-ler or Salad.

God knows, how they tot of it but it stuck pretty well on me.

My bro being the irritating asshole (joking la) and proud of his sky high metabolism rate loves mocking at me (was pretty chubby last time) and calling me ah-fat. Outrages, I retorted with a couple more names for him such as 'Chopsticks', 'frog legs', 'skinny', 'cinderella' and many many more which will flood this entry if I were list out one by one.

My chinese name if mispronounced will end up the english verision of 'mad' aka 'shen jing bing'. And sadly, my very alert and attentive classmates picked it up but thankfully it was levelled on me as much. *wipes sweat*

My chinese name (again!) if pronounced in cantonese sound VERY similar to hum chee peng. It is a salty round dough like pancake thingy. So very unpleasant to the ears.

*No way am I revealing my chinese name here man. Could be fatal. :p

You have any nicknames brave enuff to share?

KFC, kITTy aNd WorK

Was editing and writing this super long revisions to a brochure all morning till now...Finally done* and can take a breather to blog blog blog *smiles widely*

Went for lunch at KFC at PS as my colleague was lemming for a particular bag at Charles & Keith which she saw at the Wisma outlet ydae but din have time to explore it. Had 2-piece crispy meal as the original were still cooking and wun be ready for another 20 mins. DARN.

I used to love the crispy version years ago till I got sick of it heavily battered skin. The original taste so much better in my opinion. Too bad was unable to savour it during lunch.

Oh yes, mum saw this cute lil kitty ( which she assumed had just learnt how to walk, judging by the awkward motions it was executing) ydae afternoon at my blk's void deck. It was a real darling in grey and white and was mewing pretty loudly. Was nagging at mum why she din bring the poor lil thing home to feed it (I was planning to psycho her to keep it).

Will go round my blk later to see if it's still around. I hate seeing stray kitties. They look so pitful and I wish I could keep em all but it's impossible~ *sigh*


*Another wave of work coming up soon... Better get my battle armour ready :P

The heavy downpour over the last couple of weeks was a real damper and hassle to venture out. Thankfully, the internet highway wasn't flooded and wrecked or else I will be going insane cooped up at home with nothing to do.

Here's a shot I captured from my back room view of the raindrops pitter patter on my window pane.

Still, even with the cold wet weather, I am grateful for the lil forever happi angels residing in my home which lauches my topic/rave of the day - PETS PETS PETS. I can rave all about them on youth.sg :P They define a part of mi.

As you would have seen from my earlier posts, I have a VERY adorable lil bundle of fur at home, adopted off a Lim Chu Kang farm in Nov 2005. He is my much needed source of entertainment and amusement in my humble abode.

The extent of forgiving capacity and loyalty animals/pets have for their owners is beyond your wildest expectations and imagination. As mentioned previously in other posts, I have many times accidentally stepped on Whisky's tail, lil soft paws and reprimanded him sternly plus the occassional spanking when he plays too rough or urinates out of his 'toileet' and he will always return such harsh and at times painful acts with waggy tails, smiles and sweet licking.

Awwwwww~ You can see what I mean doncha?

If I were to step on a stranger's foot, pulled his hair or even raised my voice, I will be putting myself up for a sharp glare, slap and scolding :p

Humans bear grudges BUT pets/animals don't. That's how lovable and forgiving they are. We mean the world to our pets.

Which reminds me that the lil fur ball has recently gone crazy over the compressed sticks of porkfloss my friend has sweetly bought for me in Thailand. Due to the unknown nature of the nutritional content of the delish tidbit, I feed the greedy furball only bits of it which he keeps on pawing me sliently with his pleading big round eyes for more. I had a hard time saying NO to him. Haha

Just look at the how intently he eyes it

Yummi though does not score high onlooks

Anyway, Whisky being such a good lil boy who barks very very rarely and loves humans by licking them to death. He fondly welcomes all two-legged beings young or old; all races and both genders which makes him a lousy candidate for a watch-dog.

Like all dogs, he loves treats and we love spoiling or should I say pampering him with a variety of treats. In fact, he learnt how to shake hands oops, I mean paws with the help of BOW WOW mixed snacks. Clever boy! Greenies (the green looking stick bone thingy) is great to freshen up his breath and the assorted shapes of biscuits are his source of calcium for strong bones and teeth.

He goes on a wagging frenzy and twirls in delighted circles when he sees anyone of us going near to the tidbit corner to fish out a treat or treats for him. :P

I was so inspired by the lovely and cute lil doggie biscuits that I created this for him to gobble up in token of my immense love for my bundle of joy and fur:

Sweeeeet huh :)

In addition, a couple of years ago, my mum bought two lil terrapins the size smaller than a child's palm home. They signify longevity as my mum proclaims. We got a girl and a boy and it was said to differentiate which terrapin's a girl or boy, you can look at the markings underneath their shell. The more complicated it is, it is a girl ( I think so) and vice-versa for a boy.

Those lil darlings are now all grown up and the size of 2 huge adult palms!!!!!!!! They go by the names of Koko (girl) and Jojo (boy) with Jojo being heavier in size with a flatter shell while Koko has a more pointed one. Both love lying still in their tanks and Jojo loves climbing up and staring at the walls for long periods. He also loves snacking on beetles while Koko is a pretty fussy eater who only eats terrapin food.

In fact, she was pretty hostile when she first arrive, threatening to snap at any fingers attempting to bathe/touch her and bit Jojo till he bled hence we had to separate the two of them. Now she is more docile and you can pet her and she wun bite no more.

Both are pretty camera shy so it's hard to get a good and clear shot.

Koko - looking sleepy Jojo -curious at me snapping away

I LOVE my pets!!!!!!!!!

ViRaL

Viruses are floating around the house now...

My bro due to his penchant for staying up late, heaty food lover and gaming addict was taken down with a bout of flu, itchy scratchy sore throat and a cough per sec symphony ochestra.

Thankfully he is on haitus from school if not he will missing tons of lessons 'cause his eyes are now red (though not sore eyes). He has seen the doc, taken small pkts of med for all the viruses and is now an expert at swallowing pills (he used to take ages to swallow a pill and needs like 2 glasses of water to drown the offending edible object).

His coughing is keeping mi awake at nite with a cough every sec or so. But I can't complain can't I? He doesn't enjoy being sick either.

Mi, myself and I was down on Fri nite and Sat with dizzy spells (attributed to low blood pressure) and a very slight flu. Bf had a bad tummy and one of my turtles is sneezing. Urgh! SCARY~

To all my friends: Do take care of yourself and drink lotsa water. The weather has been pretty unkind lately.

MozZiEs DiE!

Mozzies - the bane of my life

For some bizzare reason, mozzies are particularly interested in mi. No not the romantic kind but the bloody kind. They probably view mi like a medium rare piece of juicy steak airflown from Japan or something.

Why? Because I always get itch beyond insane bites from them. It sucks (pun unintended)! In my lil family, I am ALWAYS the one getting bitten even when my mum and bro are wearing sleeveless or shorts prancing about in home while I am clothes in long PJs.

WTH! Plus these pesky bloodsuckers love to feast sweetly in the dead of the night while I am sweetly dreaming away with all my guard let down. After their supper, they will buzz off (or buzz in my ear) and leave mi scratching and cursing through the nite. It is darn infuriating to be woken up/disturbed with a stubborn itch.

Even after applying ointment on the bites, the itch does not go away and I am left with red bumps and panda like eyes on top of a sore temper.

Really, there was once when the situation was so bad, I had to apply mozzie repellent to bed. And other family members escaped unscathed.

I was so disturbed by these 'attacks' and yet I couldn't stop them that I thought of a very weird invention turn this itch problem into an enjoyment. If only I can invent the ultimate 'mozzie rubber'. Preferably made from a soft material aka velvet or cotton mechanism shaped like a finger to help one soothe the itchy bites by rubbing the affected spot till I doze off. Why rub and not scratch? Coz if one scratches the bite too hard, it may bled and leave a scar hence gentle rubbing will suffice and can be quite theuraptic.

Also the mechanism will come with a timer, where you can set the time say like half an hour for the 'finger' to rub the mozzie bite and then stop etc. Then you wun risk rubbing the whole nite and awake to a bleeding rub-till-it-wears-out mozzie bite.

This will be a god-send for those late nite bites especially on the soles of one's feet.

If anyone wants to invent this do inform me and we'll have it patented tog...

*Scratching a mozzie bite on my leg*

CNY pRePaRaTiONs

Things to get done b4 CNY arrives:

1) Clear & clean up my room
I have tons of clothes lying on my bed that it resembles a hammy nest, unwanted clothes stashed in my overflowing drawers that require a bit of strength to pull open and of course to separate them into groups and deem the ones to be sold or packed off to the Karang Guni uncle. I also need to wash em clothes allowing them ample time to dry and also pick off stray strands of fur (all thanks to Whisky) stuck to my clothes.

2) Buy NEW clothes for CNY
Yes, it has been a tradition to buy new clothes for CNY especially for the 1st day. In mind I want to pick off a dress (checked, got it during lunch time), a pair of jeans, a top and a bag. My shoes are settled (in fact the first item I bought) and they determined the rest of the way I'll look during the festive period.

3) Cut and dye my hair
My outta-shape hair needs a cut badly and I am going to dye my hair. Need to get it done a week before CNY.

4) Go shopping with mum for CNY clothes and goodies
Promise mum to take a day off to go shopping with her. She is getting gan cheong on what to wear, so mother daughter pair will be off in search for the perfect outfit for her. Plus probably lug home the CNY stuff if we still got strength left after trawling the malls for a bout of retail therapy.

5) Get a tan
I am washed-out.

6) Lose another 2kgs
Try lah.

What's your to-do list b4 CNY?

yUmMiLiCiOus BaD

Why bad stuff that taste soooo yummlicious is soooo bad for us?

Why cant take in some highly fibrous green mush stuff like how I take to chocs (eg: wolfing down 6 rochers at one go)?

I love (and I bet many others too) to lick off the lil mound of accumulated salty bits of the wang wang senbei titbit off my fingers.

I drink soft drink pretty frequently although it is no good for my gastric prone tummy and the 10 spoonfuls of sugar in the drink is absurdly high.

I abandon all thoughts of diet when I am faced with droolsome fried stuff which is oily and very bad for my heart plus it makes mi fat and guilty after I polish everything off.

I snack on bbq chips instead of fresh fruits. I tell Whisky no-no when he begs (with his eyes) for the chips saying that it's bad for him all the while I am relishing in the whole bag (yes, I can finish a BIG pkt by myself).

--------------------------------------------------------

A note myself:

1) Must drink more milk and high calcium stuff - need to build up bone bank although it's a lil late but late better than never.

2) Eat less fast food (try, although I just had long john for lunch and it is sitting stubbornly and stale in my tummy)

3) Drink less soft drinks and more non-gassy low sugar content drinks

4) Exercise - yes, the pool the pool!!!!!!!

SaLe SaLe SaLe!!!!

With X'mas and the New Year behind us and CNY fast approaching (you would have seen all the red lanterns hanging high above your heads and techno inspired CNY hits hitting the malls on replay mode), SALE has never been more prevalent.

Was out in town with BF ydae and he (not me) returned home with bags of goodies. I had nagged him on the FINAL SALE of G2000 where shirts, trousers etc were almost half price and he just gotta grab some (coz he has been complaining that he is running out of shirts)! We braved the crowed and cramp fitting rooms and he walked away proudly with a stripe shirt. I think I was more happier den him over the buy :p

Really now is the BEST time to stock on formal wear at G2000 except sizing stocks could be a prob though so better hit the stores before its toooo late.

We then hopped on down to Raffles City's Robinsons and finally splashed BF's robinsons voucher on a pair of adidas shoes. Much to our *heart pain* astonishment of TopMan's 40 percent off sale on the stocks of Adidas shoes they had. Kaoz, from $119 to $59 leh. BF regretted not splashing the voucher on perfume and getting the shoes from TopMan instead.

We tried to console ourselves that they may not have his size BUT WHO ARE WE KIDDING?????? *major heart pain*

The price slashed was so tempting BF was considering getting a black pair but KIV-ed it first. Me too am tempted but I rarely wear shoes (except when I am going for a run) so I better pull my eyes away from them (albeit reluctantly).

FOX is also having a 50% sale and so is EBASE. Darn, now is reali a great time to buy stuff, with such price slashes I dun tink I can bear to splurge on the store's regular stuff (after the sale ends) after seeing how much they can discount (and still earn).

We then ended the day with a seafood binge at Fish & Co, too bad the Mermaid Freeze not available and hence we had the Jungle Freeze instead. It wasn't as nice. The seafood platter was very yummi but the Tiramisu was disappointing. Yuck, I prefer Coffee Express's version.

Piled our fat bods on bus 851 home from bugis and it was a fast ride back to tomato land. We also da-powed two sets of fish & chips at mum's and bro's requests. Nice yummi supper, mum was darn full after eating hers haha...

Caught the comical Borat on Sat but it wasn't reali worth it. Catch it on rented DVD will be the best option. :P

Was sunny as hell during lunch time but the merciless rain has once again poured over. I hear the gush of rain hitting the roof of my office once more... Brrr~

fRi'S eVeNiNg oUt

Met up with Sy, Ht, Wee at J8 for a girly dinner and spot of shopping.

Had dinner at the very crowded MOS Burger and waited for like ages for a seat. Wee, Ht and myself stationed ourselves on the lookout for seats and I could not help feeling how 'familiar' it was and just like doing prefectorial duty when we were in Sec sch.

There were many heavy butts refusing to budge when they had finished their dinner. So inconsiderate. Please la, eat finish pls make a move can? There are others famished tummies wanting to makan too. *frown*

We than went on to shop and the girls went crazy over G2000 Ladies year end sale with prices slashed up to 70 percent. The store was in a disrray and the queues to the fitting room was insane. Since I had nothing to buy over there, I popped over to the Men's store nearby and browsed through the long sleeve shirts and found one that caught my eye but sadly no my BF size. :(

It was ard 10pm when we departed for home and the rain was still gushing. Waited for awhile for bus 13 before I dragged my tired bod home for a shower and snacked a lil before crawling into bed.

AND IT'S STILL RAINING. So dreary~

On the brighter side: More pics of the furry furball who loves pork floss~

Whisky in 'Santa-ish suit' though its raining heavily in Spore and not snow now (and never will be)









Mi and my 'security blanket cum toy'

AgE mE

I can't believe how fast time has by pass me...

Turning freaking 24 yrs old next mth!!!!!

Darn, the cycle of the pig (zodiac sign) is making it's round twice very soon round me. Urgh! 24 leh!!!!!!

Will rem to tell bf to stick just ONE candle instead of 2 big ones and 4 small ones or worse 24 candles on my bdae cake. I have come to realise how true it is when my mum used to say once you leave your teen years behind, age starts to catch up on you super duper fast. I used to scoff at her words but IT'S TRUE.

To think the days when I played zeropoint, hopscotch with my pri school pals are still fresh in my mind.

To think the days I struggled at A Maths and Physics in Secondary school still makes mi grimace.

To think the days me, HT and Feng went to our JC's gallery cum stadium to munch on fragrant flaky curry puffs during break time still leaves a lingering aftertaste.

To think the days I played countless online yahoo games at my Uni comp room during HOURS of long break still leaves me craving for more.

Gosh, has it really been sooooo long ago? All the past events still seems to yesterday only.

Why do we grow up (or grow old) so fast?

Motorola KRZR K1

My current obsession:



THE Motorola KRZR K1!!!!!!!













I love the reflective steel blue cover (and I dun care that due to its reflective and glossy nature, it's fingerprint prone) and the overall look of it. I seldom fall for a mobile at 1st sight and the last time I did was waay back when I was in Uni over the Nokia 7210.










I was darn impressed with its look that deviates from the normal Nokia design and got it 400 odd bucks when it was freshly released. I am still using it now *yes yes, mi very backward le...still using hp with NO 3G and camera* BUT I realli do love it lots and am reluctant to retire it with a mobile that I am just half-hearted in love with.

BUT the time has arrived when I caught sight of the K1. Mobile cupid struck but the hefty price tag of 400 odd dollars is making my heart ache. Mi no longer can numb myself shelling hundreds of dollars for a mobile as I did years ago and this is the main reason, I haven gotten K1 as my own yet.

With regards to tech gadgets, I am quite particular on the aesthetics alone. In fact, it rides over functions (for me la). So it's purely superficial love for the K1 at the moment and I do so adore it.

But maybe this mobile is not meant to be for the moment.

Excuse me while I carrying on sulking.... >_<

My ShOes....fiNaLLy

I got my shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!! *scream*

Yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * dancing on the spot*

After my seemingly angsty post of my not-fated shoes aka precious, I plucked my lazy butt and wimpy legs down to Seiyu Bugis to look for the precious. With swift steps and firm determination, I reached Bugis Junction in under 10 mins from my office in the Dhoby Ghaut area by foot.

Scooted straight for Seiyu's bag and shoe level and started my search for the precious with a thumping heart. Gotta confess my eyes strayed to other attractive (but too costly) ones displayed tantailizingly on the shelves from other brands. I braced myself up and carried on the search when I spied DMK shouting at me from the other corner of the departmental store.

Walked and let my eyes fall upon all the heels, peeptoes, kitten heels, flats etc etc BUT dun have my shoe leh. Kaoz *thunders erupting in the background* waste my time walking there.

Dejected, I decided to put on a thick skin and go back to Seiyu J8 just to try my (not very high) chance that there will be new stocks FOR MY SIZE shoes.

Took the crowded train which arrived within seconds after I stepped foot on the platform and zoomed off.

I walked into Seiyu J8 and saw the precious. Took it up and started twisting my head 360 degrees to look for sales person (hope she din recognise it's the same me who went to ask her on Fri and Sun for the precious's available sizing). Spotted her and asked her. She scurried off while I sat down on a cushioned seat twiddling with my thumbs.

The moment of truth finally came. She walked near and I heard her footsteps but I dared not lift my head up at all. My heart was in my mouth when she said: "Xiao jie.....

the shoe in size XX you wanted...". I looked up in disbelief (hidden within my heart). Tried it on and voila! It fits!!!!!!!!!! ^_^ V

Paid for it and my heart was singing. Yes! CNY shoes down! Now scooting for clothings le to match the shoes :p

CNY sHopPiNG fReNzY

I wanna go clothes, bag and shoe shopping for CNY!

Okay, not exactly for CNY since I WON'T be able to resist wearing my new buys on me the following day after snaring em. Haha...

Bag wise I already place an order for the bronze belt bag that was outta stock the last time round on a spree. But due to the SLOW response from the Taiwan sellers over the other side of the globe, the bag (if its not OOS again *cross fingers*) will most likely reach Singapore shores in 2 mths time long past CNY.

I wanna get more jeans~ (I have snared like 3 pairs of jeans over the last 2 wks *oops*) Saw this pair of brown velvet kitten heel peeptoes from DMK at Seiyu J8 but sadly no my size. Salesperson said MAYBE in 2 wks time but no guarantees. SUPER DARN. It's rare I come across a shoe I like since I am more of a flip flop fan and when I do I get this: NO MY SIZE. ARRGH!

I should pop down to Bugis Seiyu but lazy lar... hehe

A flurry of CNY shopping except again the crowds will be out in full force. Anyone got their CNY gear done?

LaZy WeEkEnd

Where did my weekend go?

Had been very lazy during this particular weekend. Had been planning to go and get a tan but the lazy side of me took over. Slept till 11am on both Sat and Sun with only tots of crawling and snoozing in bed for the rest of the day. *oink*

Meet up HT and SY on Fri at J8's Ajisen for dinner but wasn't reali hungry hence only had 5 slices of sweet Salmon, 4 pieces of the (very) preggers shishamo, 2 cubes of fried tofu (courtsey of HT) and ice water. SY was also feeling pretty full so she had the yummlicious unagi which she shared with us. Yum!

I was so craving for the teriyaki laden eel that I went for the Unagi Don at Sakae Sushi yesterday with my bf. Nice! But I could not finish my rice though. Had the soft and steamy Chwanmushi too. We got a voucher from Bf's sis hence dinner was reali cheap.

Before that, our tummies were growling like mad so we head down to the kopi-tiam near Bishan interchange and had the famous white chicken rice at the famous Kim Seng Lam (i think). The chicken rice there is damn sedap. I always order the chicken breast meat when I am makaning there plus the queue for the fragrant rice and soft chicken is never ending. In fact, just typing about it is making mi craving for a plate nw (even though I just had it ydae) :P

It's priced at $2.50/$2.80 per plate (they serve on green plates and utensils) and they ONLY sell white steamed chicken. :)

Backtrack to Sat (both Bf and me were to lazy to go anywhere else but amk and thomson) we went to the KBox at Amk and sang till close to 11pm. Pretty ok for a neighbourhood KTV-ing place and it doesn't hurt that its darn near (about 5 mins walk) from my home. Can sing later oso nv mind. Sang lots of JJ, Andy Lau and You Hong Ming and Wu Si Kai songs. Bf was tickled by the fact that I have a preference to sing songs of long long ago (not very long ago wat).

Drinking rose bud tea now~~~~~

SHiFt

I have just shifted...

To another table that is... Probably a more comfy spot to blog/msn/play games during office hours (although I do all the above even when my boss is seated behind me) :p

A fellow colleagues helped mi to shift the heavy comp, cleaned up the desk and rubbish surrounding it and got the connection up. Many thanks to the kind soul :)

But my present seat seems to be colder than the old probably due to the airon blowing in my direction. I can see the potted plant infront of me and its leaves slightly billowing due to the aircons winds. *brrrr~*

Stuff to get for my new table:

1) A cushion for my back/butt/neck
2) A cardigan to keep in office to keep warm
3) A nice pic/poster to put behind me

*excited*

Meeting up with HT and Sy for dinner later at J8. Another 38 round :p Embrace the weekend!!!!!!

Whisky @ 1 yr 5 Mths

YOo hOO! Just gotten these pics off my bro's hp's cam. Whisky at a yr 5 mths old :)

In a variation of poses which we 'forced' him haha... Took so many pics of him (as though some new born baby bro) :p










My mummy makes such a nice 'cushion' for me to sit on


My eyes are as big and black as my nose!



Trying to show off my 'mane'





Mummy's pink polished big toe looks yummi!

DrEaMiNg oF SeAfOoD & ToiLeTs

Okay, I have this HUGE INSATIABLE craving for everything seafood recently (plus the fact its hovering at lunch time and I am darn hungry).

Fresh BIG prawns, sweet succluent crabs, steamed soft fish, fried and tender sotong and all things deep in the sea (boy, no way can I be a vegetarian). Help! Plus, ever since I stepped foot into MoonFish Pasta and Seafood restaurant, I have been dreaming non-stop for the Lobster and Chicken Pasta day in and out.

I can have it like for 3 meals a day lor! Kaoz, so yummi *beyond help*

My friend juz casually mentioned Fish & Co and immediately the piping hot image of the seafood platter sprang to mind. The tasty prawns, mussels, fish, sotong and raisin rice... *beyond cure*

Delish wonders of the deep *slurp*

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Another deep (of another kind) thought:

Why do people like to mass congregate at newly opened places?

I was down to the newly opened NTUC at AMK Mega Mall a couple of days ago and crowded or pack is an understated word for the waves ala tsumami people there. Had to admit I was curious to see what's the fuss after my mum told me how HUGE it was.

I did not have the chance to see for myself how HUGE it was coz

1) the mammoth of people there was making walking around darn tricky
2) getting giddy from the waves (of people)

But bf and me did managed to find out some (finally) clean and reliable toilets in AMK which will start me on another topic:

AMK before the Mall has no proper clean toilets!

In cases of emergency (no matter how urgent) please do not use those toilets (regardless male or females) at Jubilee. The toilets ( I can say for the female ones) are extremely dirty, tons of vulgar scrawlings on the toilet doors, dim lights, smells terrible, NO toilet paper and all in all imparts a spooky atmosphere.

The only reliable ones are:

1) the ones at Mac
2)the single cubicle in KFC

Yes, damn pathetic unless you dun mind using kopitiam toilets which are another horror story (but we shall skip it since we all just had lunch).

So hooray to toilets at AMK Mega Mall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too-long-a-holiday withdrawal symptons.

Yes, I kena-ed this.

With the long stretch of holidays due to Haji and New Year, I (and many others) get to enjoy monday and tuesday shaved off the working week. It was pure (lazy) bliss snoozing in bed till the sun shines on my bottom and having to skip squeezing into crowded trains during the peak hours.

I can idle for the whole day, channel surf and makan 24/7. Alas, such indulgence have ended and am thrown back into reality and working life once more. Pulling myself up at 7 plus in the mornings, trudging outta my house, packing myself into the train cabins with other equally grouchy (and sleepy) passengers and awaiting 6pm :p

The symptons hit mi real hard with such long breaks from work. In fact I can list em down for ya:

1) the tot of taking leave/mc never felt so good

2) Legs felt like heavy cement

3) my bed suddenly felt so warm and comfy

4) every single piece of furniture and dirt in my humble abode looks so enticing

5) my actions are moving at a speed of 5mm/sec

Awaiting for CNY~

HapPY FrUitFuL 2007!

Happy 2007!!!!

Wow, time reali flies and we have once again embraced a brand new yr! *Pop the champagne*

Bf and me decided to give the crowded and jam packed town areas aka Orchard and VivoCity a miss after spending X'mas in these areas. Instead we chose to make a sweet twosome affair at the bbq and other droolsome hawker fare Chomp Chomp at Serangoon Gardens.

Arrived there at close to 6pm and got a table since it wasn't very crowded. Ordered a medium bbq stingray, small plate of chilli doused sotong, oyster omelette (the usual stall which I used to order isn't there anymore so we gave a new stall a try but it was sub-standard only) and mutton and chicken satay. Yum! Plus a big and tall mug of sugar cane juice.

Totally refreshing and I feel darn happy to be away jostling from the rowdy crowds. We than took a short bus ride to Junction 8 and caught a movie, followed by a nuggets meal at MOS Burger. By then it was past 1130pm so we walked from J8 back to AMK. The clock struck 12 mid walk during our romantic walk and happy new yr wishes/greetings were exchanged.

To entertain ourselves, we started singing happy songs including CNY songs and laughed over how absurd people who heard us must be thinking. :p

Have a happy and fruitful 2007 to my bf, family and friends! Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!
