Here are some photos of my Violets in their Mandarin performance's costumes.. they were being packaged as pretty flowers by the Mandarin teacher.. I wonder y too.. especially when the title of the song is 'Ha Ha Xiao'.. more pictures of the concert will be posted at a later date.. pls tk note.. cheers.. =)

I had enjoyed myself thoroughly yesterday.. after the tiring event.. my colleagues and I drove over to Coffee Bean at Sixth Avenue.. including me that were 5 of us (Lissa, Shu Ping, Wa, Jam and I la).. took an hour plus lunch there.. decided to try the egg 'n' salmon muffin breakfast set(It is the Breakfast-All-Day' set meal).. I will recommend the egg ben breakfast set as well.. YUMMY!! The 5 WOMEN gossiped and gossiped and gossiped after the satsifying lunch! cheers! That is wat i called bonding time.. and the activity = GOSSIPING! wahaha!!

Yesterday was GOOD day for me partly because I discovered a secret.. hm.. not exactly a secret.. but it made me happy.. haha.. here the story goes.. Wa and I wanted to fag after dinner.. (Lissa, Wa, Jordan and I went out after work for dinner n gai-gai).. but we cant.. firstly.. Jordan is old enough to tell on us (Jam knows but Jason doesnt).. and he understands what is meant by smoking.. erm.. dun want to influence & poison him.. haha.. and both of us had no clues what does the 'big girl' (Lissa) thinks abt people who smokes.. so we both tried to drop hints over dinner.. and AT LEAST.. we cant tk it anymore.. decided to smoke.. so the plan was to ask Jordan to sleep in the car while we took a fag outside.. along the way to pick up the car.. we asked Lissa if she knew wat we were thinking.. and she laughed very loudly.. and made the fagging action.. wow! so smart eh.. and she told us she is a social SMOKER too.. wahaha.. peng.. in the end.. the trio smoked outside the car while Jordan slept peacefully in the car.. hee.. cheers.. I was quite shocked to know Lissa smoked because she looks so decent and the best part is she had been smoking since sec school.. and she is like almost 29 this year.. wow.. my senior eh (she is also from convent).. NOW.. we can start gng to the bank together in the afternoon.. wahaha.. cheers.. =)

right.. I am gng to take my dinner now.. HUNGRY! **roars**.. have a great sat night.. cheers.. =)

I met up with Yuan and Wayne last night.. this time ard.. we really went to West Mall for dinner.. wahaha.. cheers.. =)

Bumped into Yuan on the bus there.. I got up the bus at Bukit TImah.. and she got up the bus at Toh Yi Community Club.. she was on the phone with Mag.. n Mag dun believe that there was such a coincidence.. wahaha.. so Yuan passed the phone to me to verify..I think Mag got a shock in the end.. hee.. =)

Wayne promised to reach West Mall at ard 9.30pm.. so the two of us decided to eat dinner first.. We went to Pasta Mania (It is located beside Singtel.. it used to be a Japanese resturant with few people.. so naturally I am not surprised to see Pasta Mania occupying the venue now.. not being mean.. just being FRANK).. planned to eat the Bacon Aglio.. rem the last time that I ate it with Marcus and Joelle.. it tasted FANTASTIC.. missed it alot.. but got tempted by the promotional item = Meatball & Eggplant Spaghetti Set Meal.. it costs me S$11.30 exactly.. I still cant made up my mind until it was my turn to place the order.. so I simply just pointed to the set meal.. the advertisement was nearer to me.. haha.. it was ALRIGHT (as usual.. I am not really fussy abt food).. the meatballs taste like meatballs and the spaghetti tastes like spaghetti.. what else can I say right.. grins..

The advertisement that tempted me

We went to shop around West Mall after dinner.. went to the library to browse through the books (since we had time to kill while waiting for Wayne).. gosh.. got a pleasant surprise.. saw Na-Na there (erm.. she is one of my ex-friend's niece.. used to play with her quite a lot before she turned one).. sadly she dun seem to recognise me anymore.. I asked her for a cuddle and she said CANNOT.. I WAS EVEN MORE SURPRISED that she CAN TALK.. huh? the last time i saw her.. she was still crawling and mumbling.. she is two years and two months old now.. wow.. times dun FLY.. TIMES ROCKETED! May God bless this little girl! =)

Old people get tired easily.. we had to find a place to sit down and continued the wait for Wayne after half an hour shopping.. wahaha.. Mos Burger was our choice.. if u walked past Mos last night ard 9.. you will see two OLD women sat down there.. chit chating away (while waiting for things to happen).. I whined at Yuan to pass me my birthday present (I was bursting with curiosity).. and FINALLY she passed me a beautifully wrapped present.. in gold wrapping paper somemore.. hee.. I was so excited.. I STARTEdD to unwrap the present.. and saw A BOX OF JACKFRUIT CHIPS.. I NEARLY FAINTED.. first of all.. I dun really eat chips.. secondly.. JACKFRUIT CHIPS sound off eh.. wahaha.. and I told her the truth.. that fellow kept on insisting that I opened the box and looked at the chips first.. huh? look at the chips? I still opened it.. and GOT A PLEASANT SURPRISE.. it was a make-up pouch inside the JACKFRUIT CHIPS BOX.. I laughed so hard at the silly joke.. another present that comes in real handy.. **thanks dear.. for the effort in disguising the present**.. =)

The JACKFRUIT CHIPS box

My REAL present = make-up pouch

Wayne arrrived at ard 10.00pm.. so poor thing.. must be starving by then.. we walked to KopiThiam (along the MacDonald's stretch).. she wanted to eat dinner there.. had a good chit chat session with her.. talked for abt an hour plus before HOME SWEET HOME.. everyone is tired.. n sleepy.. **yawns**

I just finished my concert REHEARSAL.. tml is the real thing.. and I am already half dead.. I need GOD's SHOWER OF LOVE.. cheers.. =)

[ uNcOndiTiOnaL aCCepTaNce ]

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree.

The last class I had to take was Sociology.

The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called "Smile."

The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway, so, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally.

Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.

We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did. I did not move an inch... An overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved.

As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling". His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance. He said, "Good day" as he counted the few coins he had been clutching. The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend.

I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation. I held my tears as I stood there with them. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).

Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.

I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand. He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you." I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope."

I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope." We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give.

We are not church goers, but we are believers. That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love.

I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand. I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share this?" I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class.

She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed. In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my husband, son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.

I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

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

I read this email that my friend had forward to me.. touched me in a way.. and my eyes became wet.. thought of sharing it.. have a good week ahead.. cheers.. =)

[ wElcOMe tO thE 23 cluB ]

I OFFICIALLY WELCOMED MYSELF TO THE 23 CLUB! yup! That will be right.. I hit 23 on 10 November 2006.. cheers.. =)

I didnt really celebrated my birthday this year.. I am beginning to develop a phobia of aging.. wahaha.. nah.. I am still young! yeah!

Went out with Wayne, Yuan and Maggie on thursday after work.. mainly to catch up with one another.. havent seen them for quite some time.. had been busy counting money in my account (LIKE REAL).. haha.. Yuan and I decided to go to Holland Village for dinner.. the rest of us (exlucding Wayne.. she was on her way from Simei) met up at ard 7.30pm.. I suggested gng to Delifrance.. because I wanted to try the beef lasagna that CK took the other time when we went out.. so the three of us took our orders and waited for Wayne to arrive before tucking in.. we waited and waited and waited.. n she was still on her way.. decided to give her a call to find out her location.. she replied that she was at Jurong and would arrive in ten minutes.. WE DIDNT BELIEVE HER.. so took a bet of S$10.00.. and indeed after ten minutes.. she rang us up to tell us that she had reached and couldnt find us.. huh.. but we didnt see her anywhere.. and WE TOLD HER WE ARE UPSTAIRS.. and SHE TOLD US WEST MALL DELIFRANCE WHERE GOT UPSTAIRS.. huh? huh? huh? WE WERE AT HOLLAND VILLAGE.. big mistake.. we found out that all of us presumed that the location was kept at West Mall where the three of us usually met up.. and neither Yuan or I had informed Wayne the change of location to Holland Village.. what had i learnt? ASSUMPTION IS THE MOTHER OF ALL FUCKERS!

The Beef Lasagna

We started eating while waiting for her to come over and ordered food for her as well.. tried to cheer her up when she arrived.. hee.. good thing she wasnt really pissed off.. **heng heng**.. and she was so sweet.. she bought me a PINK PIGGY handphone holder.. erm.. I think it was part of her revenge plan when she saw that I gave her a set of PINK mouse pad and wrist rest for Chirstmas last year.. wahaha.. and even the CARD was in PINK!!! but I LOVE THEM ALL THE SAME! I LOVE PINK! wahaha.. cheers.. =)

The BLACK FACED Wayne and I

Me with Wayne's present

After dinner.. Yuan and I grilled her for the lastest update on her L. life.. wahha.. interesting.. she is always full of suprises! hee.. I wish her all the best! **jia you** CK arrived shortly after work.. the chit-chat session continued for another hour or so before we were 'dismissed' to go HOME! wahaha.. I then accompanied CK to take his dinner at Crystal Jade.. poor boy.. he must be starving.. thanks dear.. **muacks**

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

On 10th Novemeber 2006.. I turned 23.. I gave myself a good treat after work.. which costed me S$121.16.. wahaha.. but I ENJOYED IT! cheers.. met up with CK after his class.. decided to drive over to Sentosa to celebrate my birthday.. THIS TIME AROUND.. WE PAID S$6.00 to go in.. but I rem the other night when we drove in with Marcus and Joelle.. it was FREE!! so I asked the lady behind the counter and she replied that the charge are applicable 24 hours.. huh? that means we must be FREAKING heng that night to go in FREE! wahaha.. stopped the car at Pink Dolphin Lagoon's carpark to cut the cake.. my second cake.. I LOVE CAKES! but CK said it is unauspicious to blow candles twice as I has done it at 1929).. thus we only could sing the birthday song and cut the cake.. he got me a fruitty cake from Bengawan Solo.. we shared a slice of vanilla sponge cake and the HAPPY MEAL that I got for him.. I chose the combi of MacNuggets.. Corn Cup and Apple Juice (MY FAV).. I was worried that he might be hungry after class.. it was just a simple celebration that warm my heart.. thank you be!

My Fruitty Cake.. **yum yum**

CK & I in the car

Now I am finally 23.. I have millions of wishes waiting to come true! SO I AM GNG TO WORK HARD TO ACHIEVE ALL OF THEM! cheers.. =)

I attended Joshua's bd bash at MacDonald's (Tanglin Mall) last sunday (5th Nov).. that implies I met up my class's parents and their beloved children on a non-working day (SUNDAY).. and i was LATE (as usual).. haha.. the party had already begun when i reached there.. gave an excuse that i cant find a parking lot.. wahaha..

Donovan & Claudia & Joshua

Birthday Boy (Joshua) & I

And I realised that my class was actually HAPPY to see me on a SUNDAY.. i dun understand y at all.. they came foward and greeted me when they saw me.. and turned to tell their friends that I had arrived.. huh? kids is the only answer that I could find.. but I was very sure that they had great fun playing the games.. I cant really understand the meaning of the games at all.. I supposed they were meant to entertain the children.. one game requires the two groups of children to change one of their friend into the MacDonald's uniform.. and the winner would be the first one who got dressed.. (NOTE: THE UNIFORM IS ADULT SIZE.. AND MY CHILDREN ARE ALL 4 YEARS OLD).. well.. once again.. I HAPPILY presumed that it was all for the sake of FUN!

The children were playing games!

Matilda & I at the Party

MUM MUM TIME!! the children rushed back to their seats and waited to be served.. of course they WERE JUBILANT.. anyone would be.. they could choose MacNuggets or Fish Dippers for the main course.. the French Fries or Corn Cup or Apple Dippers for side orders and Milk (NO ONE CHOOSE THAT) or Apple Juice or Milo for drinks.. wow.. they were SO SO SO HAPPY.. wahaha.. and of course I HELPED them.. went over to volunteer my professional services to the parents.. settled the children down and prepared the sauces for them.. I felt that I WAS WORKING!

The children were having a BALL!

TIME TO CUT THE CAKE! the lights went off and the MacDonald's crew played the birthday song and brought the cake in.. the children were so excited.. jumping up and down in joy.. screaming their heads off.. and well.. being the TEACHER.. my threshold of noise is unreasonably low.. so I SAID [ALRIGHT[.. and there was SLIENCE.. no one said anything after that.. I WAS SO EMBARRASSED.. however the parents were so amazed with the magic word that work on their children.. **grin**


PR with my parents as well.. talked abt next year placement.. their children's developement.. current issues.. and disciplinary problems.. saw a different side of them while they WERE NOT in school.. more relaxed.. more easy-going.. more approachable.. and Claudia (Joshua's mum) joked with me.. asked me how did I manage to handle all of them every day.. haha.. and to serve them 3 times a day (morning snack + lnuch + afternoon snack).. I dunno.. part of my work i guess.. cheers..


Left shortly after that.. need to pick up my parents for dinner.. I guess Joshua LOVE the birthday present that I chose for him.. it was a Thomas & Friends' Bag.. because he brought it to school on Tuesday.. wahaha.. cheers.. =)

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

I brought the Violets out on 9th Nov 2006 to watch a play [A Year with Frog and Toad] at Singapore National Libray.. it was a production by Players Theatre and held at the Black Box.. I guess they had enjoyed the show more or less.. just that some of them complained that the show was too long.. I dun deny for a 4 years old to sit still for an hour can indeed be a challenge.. that explained my kids DANCING and SINGING at the first row during the show.. I nearly wanted to walk out of the theatre with a brown paper bag on my head.. argh..

For myself.. I LOVE the play.. or rather I had always enjoyed musicals, stage performances and plays.. so IT was totally awesome for me.. the songs were rather catchy and my kids are humming some of the lyrics the following day when they returned to school.. a recommedation for my friends who are interested in such production.. took some photos of the children during the journey there.. I love all these SHOTS.. super well-taken by ME! cheers!

Gng to take a short rest.. I will blog abt my 23rd birthday celebration the next time.. IN CASE SOME OF U WHO FORGOT.. haha.. like Marcus who wish me HAPPY FRIDAY.. to think he was my best friend.. so sad.. wahaha.. just kidding.. I am not really particular abt that.. but I really will like to say thank you to all those who rememebered.. thank you so much.. it had made a big difference to recive all ur calls.. texts and testimonials.. have a good sat.. cheers.. =)

[ aMaZinG ExpERimeNt ]

Just received this in my email.. I was astonished when I read the text and saw the pictures.. the result was even better than mixing bicarbonate soda and vinegar together (ONLY IF YOU WANT TO CONDUCT A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT ABT THE EXPLOSION OF VOLCANOES).. the consequence of eating MENTOS and drink COCA COLA together seems to be lethal according to this email.. well.. I am not too sure myself.. just be careful with yourself.. cheers.. =)

According to the email, two boys had been found died in Brazil after eating MENTOS and drinking Coka-Cola together. No newspaper clippings as evidence is included to prove the mentioned cases. However, they had conducted a simple experiment to test the effect of mixing MENTOS and COCA COLA together. Here are the photos. (NOTE: They are all teenagers. And i definitely had my doubts.)

Step 1: Put the MENTOS into a bottle of COCA COLA.

Step 2: Take a STEP BACK and OBSERVE!

Step 3: The BUBBLING continues..........

Step 4: The BUBBLING is subsiding..........

Steo 5: IT stopped.

right.. i had no idea how long did the entire experiment takes.. well.. doesnt matter.. just to highlight to friends who read my blog.. cheers.. =)

Meant to blog abt this party quite a few weeks back.. had been too busy with concert preparation that i had totally forgotten abt this.. plus i had absent mindedly loaded the photos on to the school computer.. haha..


organised a Halloween party for my class on the 31st of October.. requested the parents to dress their children for the occassion.. like what i had expected.. i got fairies.. super heros and princesses.. and i got them lotsa n lotsa of goodies for TRICK OR TREAT! the goodies filled up 2 entire baskets.. the children were so excited to see the goodies.. u could easily spot their best behaviour on that day.. wahaha..

played party games like freeze and pass the parcel.. haha.. played retro songs from my collection (contribution from Marcus).. wahaha.. wow.. the children LOVED it! they were dancing so enthusiastically.. and i rem one Taiwanese girl (Julia) who danced FANTASTICALLY well.. so freaking hip and could shake her bums really well.. haha.. yesh.. missed retro nights at DBL O (Marucs had been hinting that he wanted to go again).. cheers.. =)

Let the photos do the talking now!

hm.. no new challengers has volunteered to solve the imperfection of my blog.. well.. the wait shall continue.. cheers..

went out with my colleagues (Wahila, Jam, Lissa and Eleanor) on last evening for dinner.. Wahila suggested The Rice Table at Sun Tec City.. FANTASTIC! I love the Indonesia food at that resturant.. i had been there with CK & his poly classmates in Jan this year.. wanted to go back n try again.. but it just kept on forgetting abt it.. well.. this resturant is actually [All You Can Eat-Rijsttafel Set Dinner].. each person paid about S$23.40.. and it is free for children under 5 years old.. haha.. that means Maia and Jordan got a free meal each.. wahaha..

Our table at The Rice Table

The menu looks tempting.. and my mouth watered as i reminisced the dinner last night.. i rem there was a total of abt 20 dishes.. they will serve you white rice together with the dishes.. ALL the 20 dishes will be served at the 1st round.. subsequently.. you can add on those dishes that you fancy.. pros and cons for this idea.. for a first timer.. you get to try all the 20 dishes.. however.. it would be really wasteful if you dun take certain food and they still serve you like the rest.. well.. that depends on individuals.. hee.. cheers.. =)

The Vanda Staff - Jam, Eleanor, Lissa, Angeline (ME) & Wahila

checked the net for more info on this resturant.. there is another branch at Cuppage and International Plaza.. and decided to cut and paste the menu onto my blog.. simply to tempt those ppl who love good food.. (yes.. i am referring to u.. MARCUS & JOELLE).. wahaha..

Achar = Pickled Cucumber
Gado - Gado = Salad in Peanut Sauce
Rudjak Manis = Fruit Salad
Sayur Lodeh = Vegetable Stew
Ayam Penggang = Grillled Chicken
Daging Rendang = Spicy Beef Stew
Ayam Kalio = Chicken Curry
Tahu Telor = Tofu Omlette
Kangkong Belachan = Waterconvoluulus
Perkedel Jagung = Potato - Corn Fritter
Terong Kecap = Eggplant in Soya Sauce
Ikan Goreng = Fried Fish
Sate Ayam = Chicken Satay
Sambal Udang = Spicy Prawns
Ikan Bilis = Fried Anchovics
Ayam Goreng = Fried Chicken
Sotong Asam = Spicy - Sour Cuttlefish
Otak = Grilled Fishcake
Tahu Kuning = Curried Tofu

The table FULL of FOOD

MY FAVOURITE - TAHU TELOR

was a good dinner.. enjoyed myself thoroughly.. had a good chat with them.. of course when THE LADIES got together.. we can just go on yakking for hours.. plus the contagious laughter!! haha.. the children had their fair share of fun.. running in and out of the resturant throught the bamboo pillars.. playing catching and chasing each other run and run the place.. cheers.. =)

Wahila & I looked satisified after the BUFFET

yup.. abt the CONTAINER TRUCKS' CARPARK at East Coast Park.. i am simply too lazy to blog abt it.. maybe you can refer to Marcus's blog for the adventure.. wahaha.. thanks! **beams**.. gotta go to MacDonalds' at KAP.. craving for fries.. gng to drive over to get some for MYSELF.. (yes.. n put on more weight).. wahaha.. have a good day.. two more days to TGIF! (n my birthday too) cheers.. =)

[ nEwtOn cIRcUs + SinGaPOrE cHaNgI aIRpOrt ]

yeah yeah yeah.. i mangaged to add some photos onto the sidebar of the blog.. but strangely the alignment is off.. being a PERFECTIONIST.. i hate to observe that.. argh.. n my royal subject is unable to share this burden of mine (just kidding).. well.. i am looking foward to new and brave challengers at the moment.. wahahaha.. cheers..

its gng to be a short entry.. after i spent a good hour typing abt sat night.. n blogger 'refused' to publish the entry.. i lost the motivation to blog.. argh..

went out with CK, Marcus and Joelle to Newton Circus on sat night.. meant to take dinner together.. and i was craving for chicken wings (the funny thing was i didnt eat chicken wings that night).. the renovation for Newton Circus is completed.. and we had not been there to makan before (yes.. even before the renovation.. i mean the 4 of us).. might as well go n give it a try.. on the outlook.. the hawker centre looks more spacious.. ventilation is better.. it provides more tables in the open-space.. the lighting had improved as well.. less sweat while u enjoy the local delicacies.. cheers..

Courtesy from Marcus (HE did it)

and what else can u get at Newton Circus.. of course is the OVER-PRICED food.. serious.. as compared to Lau Pa Sat (we ate a few weeks ago).. we paid more here.. i wonder if this particular stall charges us more or the rest are equally pricey.. hm.. we ordered sambal stingray.. kailan in oyster sauce.. fried calamari.. braised tofu.. fried oyster & 3 cups of LARGE sugar cane drinks.. we paid a total of S$64.00.. that means one person paid S$16.00.. which is exactly S$6.00 more than what we paid at Lau Pa Sat.. and the amount of food is roughly abt the same.. but one thing i had to admit was that the sambal stingray had more flesh and it tasted good! too bad the sambal was not powerful enough.. to make me tear in joy.. grin..

will give other stalls a try another time.. because this time round.. i insisted on patronising the auntie with the 'bao zhar tou' (bombastic hairdo).. u can nv miss such a person.. she was simply eye catching with red and blue pens stuck among the 'bao zhar tou'.. haha.. when she takes order.. she just need to reach back and pull out a pen to write on the pad.. it was one sight that u can nv miss.. haha.. she actually walked past us three times before we got her attention.. when she finally noticed us.. she INSTRUCTED us to WAIT.. huh? nvm.. this is NOT the highlight.. she strolled over and shook hands with all the 4 of us.. and STROKED my HAIR??? huh?? what was that for? i dunno.. the 3 of them thought we were accquainted.. nah.. she sat down and joined us at the table.. started to chit chat with us.. wow.. the topic is 'touting'.. and she even cut out the newspaper article to show it to us.. i rem the conversation goes something like this, "Neh-neh.. u know who is this uncle right?" (she pointed to the picture.. there was this uncle wearing a yellow t-shirt.. okie.. i DUNNO).. **shaked head**.. CK was good.. diverted her attention and pushed her to introduce specialities to us.. okie.. she dun need a order pad.. she wrote our orders on the newspaper.. question mark.. question mark.. question mark.. nvm!

overall.. food was considered ALRIGHT (i prefer Lau Pa Sat).. still will go back again (provided i drive.. and someone is giving a treat).. haha.. yup!

i am running out of time.. will blog abt the ADVENTURE the 4 of us had at the CONTAINER TRUCKS' carpark another time.. hee.. tk care n let this greeting blows away ur monday blues.. cheers.. =)

[ LaTe NiGhT MoVIe = siNkiNg oF jaPaN ]

Just finished my tuition.. most prob i am gng to nap till 6 plus after blogging.. feeling sleepy again.. hee..

went out to meet my financial advisor (Pauline.. CK introduced us) after work yesterday.. she HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that i surrendered my PruCash Policy asap.. because that plan doesnt suit my needs AT ALL.. it caters to ppl who have the spare cash to be involved in a 25 years MATURATION time span.. argh.. as a result.. i had to bear the lost of S$2,528.46.. FUCK IT! that is a HUGH SUM OF MONEY TO ME NOW MAN! especially when i need the cash to go for my Bachelor.. if Blogger allows me to type [FUCK IT] ALL OVER MY BLOG.. yes.. i will.. this policy doesnt make sense to me AT ALL after Pauline had explained the sums clearly.. y shd someone paid ard S$210.00 monthly to only get a sum insured of merely S$30,500.. whereas another insurance company is offering a monthy premium of $100.00 and the sum insured reaches as high as S$100,000.00.. if that eg is still not clear enough.. let put words in this way.. u can pay Insurance Comany ABC S$26.00 and they give u S$1000.000.. on the other hand.. Insurance Company XYZ collects S$8.00 from u and they return u S$1000.00.. if u pass KINDERGARTEN maths.. u shd be able to understand this simple concept.. FUCK IT!

ferget it.. i rather cut loses now than to punch in more money and SEE NO RETURNS.. because apparently.. i DO get some cash value by the third year (PruCash policy said so).. which is a pathetic sum of S$1500.00.. after the S$7500.00 that i had given them for the three years.. i rather lose S$2528.46 NOW.. and change my policy.. once bitten twice shy.. i will definitely be more cautious when i sign up for any new policy.. a gentle reminder to all my dear friends.. if u havent sign up for any insurance policy yet.. pls look for one that cater to ur needs.. and not one that will EAT u up eventually.. my best wishes.. =)

right.. money aside.. let talk about entertainment.. went out with CK, Marcus and Joelle to watch [Sinking of Japan] last night.. decided to go for the show at ard 7 plus..haha.. booked the tickets and met up ard 11 plus.. cheers..

The movie poster of [Sinking of Japan]

okie.. 3 stars for the movie.. i particularly enjoyed the graphics.. such a sight to see 'real-life' buildings collasping right in front of u.. the bonus was the chain explosion that broke off the plate.. (Marcus thought it was rather fake).. haha.. a geographical movie? most probabaly.. since i studied History when i was in IJ.. (so did Joelle.. we were in the same class and sat beside each other).. i didnt manage to understand some parts of the scientific explanations that were given by the mesy hair guy (okie.. apparently he acted as a smart-ass scientist).. hm.. n i agreed with the rest.. it was QUITE a 'draggy' movie.. right.. CK proposed that if u have the time to kill.. this movie will entertain u throughout.. cheers..

HOME-SWEET-HOME after the movie.. no plans for tonight yet.. maybe chicken wings at Toa Payoh Lorong 8 or Ba Chor Mee at Lorong 4? haha.. finally i am beginning to think of eating food.. Marcus showed me SUPER REVOLTING photogrpah.. it depicts a woman's breast being infested with maggots.. I SWEAR.. u can practically see the maggots in the holes of the woman's breast.. she had caught a rare South American/Africa (i forgot which is which) virus and the insect laid eggs on the bra that she had purchased.. the eggs hatched when she wore the bra.. and there u go.. the maggots grew in her BREAST.. making holes and eating away her breast flesh.. damn gross.. (i rem the story as such.. Marcus got a better idea of it.. ask him if u want to know more).. the thought of the photogrpah evokes puking instantly.. I AM SERIOUS.. well.. i didnt read the warning and i was happily eating a bar of chocolate when i saw the photograph.. i threw away the ENTIRE bar and went straight to PUKE.. there goes my lunch.. DAMN! sorry.. i dun have the URL to that website.. (pls contact Marcus for more info.. thank you).. wahaha..

will like to say a big [Thank You] to Wayne for helping me to fix my blog.. **muacks**.. FYI.. i had lost two entires in MY OWN ATTMEPT TO TROUBLESHOOT.. i admit i am a HTML idert.. i am a HTML idert.. i am a HTML idert.. wahaha..

'RINGGGGGGGGGGGGG'.. it's time for nap-nap.. bye.. have a good sat night.. boo-gee boo-gee.. hee.. cheers.. =)

One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his Sweatshirt.

Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"

"It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your shirt?"

He yelled back, "University of Oklahoma."

And they say blondes are dumb!

I just got home.. sOOOOOooooooooooo tired.. but motivated to blog.. got lots of good shots to share.. cheers.. =)

CK & i checked in 1929 for a night stay to celebrate my birthday.. had been wanting to book that hotel.. but it is always FULLY BOOKED.. now i fianlly know the the reason.. NOT BECAUSE IT IS DAMN POPULAR.. SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS DAMN SMALL.. no rooms available if u book it at the last min.. chey.. i am not exaggerating at all.. the toilet is the most pathetic one i had ever came across.. to put it blantly.. I WILL NV PATRONISE IT EVER AGAIN..

THIS IS HOW 'BIG' THE TOILET IS!
Can u even see a space to SHOWER without knocking into the TOILET BOWL? ARGH!!!

great.. i was promised a balcony.. there was indeed one if u open the door.. to fit in two persons at a time.. overlooking NOTHING (okie.. i am being sarcastic.. not NOTHING.. but the ROAD and ROYAL PEACOCK).. the bill came to ard S$165.00.. my jaws dropped.. i rather pay that amt for Carlton.. oh ya.. i forgot to mention the COMPLIMENTARY breakfast! one quote from one of my best friend (Marcus).. 'chi bu bao.. you er bu si'.. one word to summary my stay = [ SUCK] !

OTHER than that.. everything else was FANTASTIC! recieved my 4th bouquet of flowers from CK.. till now.. i still dunno what was it.. i did ask CK.. but he told me it was picked from the rubbish bin.. and to make it more lame.. the name of the flower was 'La Ji Tong De Hua'.. it just happened so that there were 5 stalks in the bouquet.. to match his frequency.. i named each of them after the individual chinese word.. wahaha..

'La Ji Tong De Hua'

CK got a Green Tea cake & a bottle of Carbnet Sauvignon (red wine) for the celebration.. **yum yum**.. the red wine was [GOOD].. i mean really good.. the green tea cake tasted excellent **muacks**.. but we only managed to eat less than one quarter of it.. the rest were INFESTED with ants when we came back from our dinner.. argh.. such a waste! i love it! strong in green tea flavour.. doesnt taste that CREAMY (nauseous).. alright.. at least we ate some! **wink**

My 23rd GREEN TEA birthday cake!

Sing [Happy Birthday] to ME!

Blur, Candid, Loving.

OF course i got my birthday presentS from CK too! YeaH! and MAYBE more to come? hee.. cheers.. =)

k.. time to hit the shower.. have a good week ahead.. cheers.. =)

People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.... I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

When something is 'new and improved!' Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

========================================================

came across this in my email.. got a hell of a good laugh.. decided to post it up here.. for those suffering from 'pre-exams syndrome'.. cheers..

I SHALL OFFICIALLY DECLARE ITS TGIF.. gonna have good fun.. take care.. enjoy ur ever precious weekend.. cheers.. =)

[ oinTmEnt foR eYeS.. haVe u Use iT beForE? ]

IT'S pouring BUCKETS now.. argh.. to think i just walked back from Tan Chong Motor along Dunearn Road.. and it was FREAKING HOT at that point of time.. which was barely half an hour ago.. damn.. the weather nv seem to go according to what u desire.. forget it..

went to the clinic last night.. there is a growth (DUNNO WHAT ####) in my right eye.. which gave me the feeling of itchy and painful.. and the eye was practically sore and red.. and the best thing was I WAS WEARING MY CONTACT LENS.. which doesnt seem to mk things any better.. no choice.. have to tahan all the way till i knocked off before i could go n see a GP..

told the GP about my eye condition.. (as well as my stomch probs.. which had been harassing me on and off).. examined the eye.. infection of the eye.. probably due to the haze.. n me wearing long hours of contact lens (i can wear contact lens to sleep).. haha.. he prescribed some anti-baterical ointment for me to apply on the affected area.. i was still thinking it was just some eye drops that could be easily squeeze into the eye.. NO! ITS NOT! IT WAS INEED OINTMENT.. sticky kind that could practically glue ur eyes together.. and they got stuck to my lashes as well.. argh.. looked exactly like those 'ba-sat' (direct translation from hokkien).. hate it.. i didnt succeed in the first time.. gave up and decided to go to SLEEP.. went to school the next morning.. got my director to help me.. haha.. in the end.. she was successful.. her daughter (Angelique used to have this prob.. and she had trained herself relatively well by now).. haha.. =)

The anti-bacterial ointment for my sore eye

The carbon (charcoal) medicine for my stomach discomfort

met up with CK after his meeting last night.. since his meeting venue was at Paya Lebar.. we decided to meet at Outram.. easier for us to go to Chinatown to eat their famous porridge.. parked the car and were walking towards the place when we saw the EQUALLY FAMOUS chicken rice stall.. decided to go there instead (shorter walking distance).. WOW.. saw Joelle, Shawna and Wei Zhen there.. so ciao.. i didnt even notice it was them until i was right beside their table and they called out to me.. haha..

sat down to join them for dinner.. called Marcus to disturb him.. haha.. used Joelle's phone to call him n i answered the phone.. he was so surprised to hear my voice.. haha.. he still thought that we had arranged to meet up for dinner.. nah.. we didnt.. just fated to meet.. or i could also say that we were at the right place at the right time.. haha.

was given a MC.. but still decided to come to work anyway.. got stuff to do.. and it was Maia's birthday (Wa's daughter).. she wore a white gown for her birthday party.. n the mother invited the MacDonald's crew over with the goodies, food and games.. the cake was from e-creative (I RECOMMENDED that to her.. it is an online website that sells cakes and other celebration stuff.. for more information.. pls visit www.ecreative.com.sg.. thank you for your support.. I AM NOT PAID FOR THIS ADVERTISEMENT).. cheers..

black-out a while ago.. so this was my third attempt at this entry.. there will not be a fourth attempt.. is either u see this or u dont.. haha.. got bored during the black-out.. went into the house to walk around.. saw that Gwendolyn was awake.. she was hugging Shu Ping as she was scared of the darkness.. but she still can ask Shu Ping if she can have the cake.. wahaha.. i thought she was scared.. once the lights came on again.. i brought her to the office to eat the cake.. she was so happy.. saw down and start eating the cake by herself.. i quickly grabbed the camera and took photos of her.. haha.. can see her dimples.. and her cream-stained fingers.. =)

Gwendolyn was trying to 'DO-IT-HERSELF'.
