pre CNY
I miss home cook food (as in food cooked in my home).
I miss home cook soup (as in soup cooked in my home).
I miss my daily fruit juice breakfast (which consists of green apples, carrots and beetroot. Sometimes fofo will add an extra fruit like star fruit, celery or pear, depending on availability.
I haven been having all the above since my house renovated last month. To be exact, I has been 1.5 months le. :(
Though the renovations in my house are completed, the gas person hasn’t come to connect our gas supply back yet. No gas how to cook? And dad refused to to prepare fruit juice or anything until the kitchen is 100% completed. :(
Actually talking about this made me very pissed off cause the gas person was supposed to come my place to reconnect the gas last Saturday, before 12. So mum waited at home patiently for the guy to come and waited and waited till corpse webs grew on her head till 2pm, and there was no sight of the gas man. The contractor came, and said that probably the gas company worked 1/2 day on sat. upon hearing this, mum thought left to do some new year shopping with grandma.
Mum left home at 2+. I reached home at about 3.30. And slotted on our door was a note that the gas person was here and no one was at home. Are we sway or what?!?!
And till now the gas has not been connected back yet. It has been delayed and delayed and rescheduled and rescheduled.
Wah lau eh, damn KNN. Its 3 days away from CNY and my house still doesn’t have gas supply. Like that how to cook?? How are we going to have our reunion dinner??
Stupid gas company. So irresponsible and unreliable. GRRRRR....
Speaking of reunion dinner, we will be having steamboat this year. YAY!! But its vegetarian steamboat. I personally have not eaten vegetarian steamboat before but I can imagine the whole table of different types of mushrooms (button mushrooms, golden mushrooms, shitake mushrooms), vege (cabbage, chye sim, kangkong, tomatoes, ladies finger, corn), toufu, vegetarian fishballs, vegetarian dumpling, seaweed (if u guys can think of anything to add for vegetarian steamboat, let me know k??) etc. etc.
And this year will be ace’s first reunion dinner with us. :D
I heard the new year toto will be drawn on the 9th day of CNY, which is 6 Feb (please correct me if im wrong). Can start getting inspiration on what numbers to buy le. Im not too sure if can start buying already but its better to buy early cause the nearer the draw date, the longer the queue will be.
Good luck, people. Heng heng huat huat ah! :D

computer kee chia
literally translated, the tittle meant: computer go up the car...
Shite. I think my home pc going to kee chia soon. :(
Few days ago, I noticed that when I leave my com on for a long while, it will shut down by itself. Initially I thought that mum off my com for me while im away. So I confronted her and she said she didn’t. In fact. She didn’t even know how to off a computer, and lead on to nagged that I never teach her to use the com. Opps.
Then I thought that sis set an auto off timing for me cause recently mum has been complaining that I always leave the com on for the whole day and the electrical bills are getting higher.
But today, sis was at our place using our computer and she complained that my computer kept auto shut down. I told her I thought she was the one who did the settings and she said she did not.
Now this is bad news. Very bad news. Sis did a virus scan and seems that my com is infected with 2 dunno simi lan sai virus. And the anti virus software cant delete the viruses away!! WTF are anti virus for. Urrggghhh.
Sis told me to be prepared for the worst. The first thought that came to my mind was: what are the files I need to back up and how do I back up??
Uurrrggghhh... I hate it when my computer gives me problems cause im an absolute computer idiot. Should I repair the com? Should I get my hands on the latest anti virus? Should I change a new com?
I hope my com dun die on me so soon. I shall pray for a miracle and its speedy recovery.

To make matters worse
One of the flush in my office toilet is down again. WTF, I thought they just repaired it yesterday.
Yesterday, the janitor banned us from using the ladies cause they were repairing the spoiled cubicle. Today, the bloody toilet bowl spoil again.
Speaking of yesterday... I was on the way to the ladies when the janitor told me that I cant use cause they are doing repair works inside. So I went back to office again and decided to wait. A good 30 – 45 mins later, I went to the ladies again and its still under repair. :(
To make matters worse, I drank a lot of water beforehand.
To make matters worse, I have a weak bladder.
To make matters worse, yesterday was an extremely cold and rainy day.
To make matters worse, the next available toilet is located on the 2nd level.
To make matters worse, my office was located on the 8th level.
To make matters worse, I saw 2 other ladies from other offices at the lift lobby, also going to the 2nd floor ladies.
To make matters worse, one of them was on fairly good terms with me and I had to make small talk with her while trying to look composed.
To make matters worse, the lift in my office building is very slow.
To make matters worse, the lift stopped on the 4th floor and somebody stepped in.
To make matters worse, the person alighted on the 3rd floor (I swear i wanted to punch that person at that time. 1 level only also cannot use the stairs).
LUCKILY, there were enough cubicles on the 2nd level toilet and I do not have to queue.
LUCKILY, I did not pee in my pants.

i heart techno
Nothing can get me moving and grooving like techno music. Not R&B, not trance, not mambo. Techno is da best.
Yesterday I went to the cycle class and the trainer was playing techno songs. And among the songs were old time favourites like “ sea of love” and “be my lover”. I found myself peddling away furiously using my gu ni lat.
That was the most satisfying cycle class I’ve attended ever. :)

rainy days
Its been raining like forever since yesterday.
I hate rainy days because:
Rain gets me gloomy. Dunno why but I think rain, dark clouds, lightning, thunder are associated with negative thoughts.
My office becomes freezing cold when its raining. I feel like im working in a freezer now.
The roads are wet which causes my shoes and the edge of my pants to get wet and dirty.
I hate to carry umbrellas cause its troublesome and im lazy.
The rain water will wet my face and my make up will melt.
The only good thing about rainy weather is that it makes the bed soooooo comfortable (but this is bad when its a working day).
I woke up at 1.30pm on Sunday and because the sky was still dark, I thought it was still early. When I check the time on my HP, I was like: wah sooo shiok. Its been such a long time since I slept till so song.
Hope the rain will stop now and come back tonight like say... 3am?? Cause that’s the time I forsee I will be going to sleep tonight. Tomorrow is public holiday leh. :p

house under renovation
My house is under renovation at the moment. Actually the renovation works started way back in December last year and as expected, my whole house is in a mess. I usually have a high tolerance for messiness but even I am getting unbearable with the mess.
I mean how to tolerate when:
The washing machine ends up in your room.
The sofa ends up in your room.
Everybody crammed up in your room early in the morning (despite the fact that its a public holiday and you’re sleeping) because the sofa is there
You cant find your things (probably bundled up somewhere and kept away to avoid the dust)
No TV (cause the sofa was shifted in front of the TV)
Even after the sofa was shifted away, the TV went dead!!
No lights (my room lights died on me and mum refused to change the bulb cause she say we are going to change the lights anyway)
No water heater (the heater is not wired up yet)
Dirt and dust everywhere
And to make matters worst, the colour that I chose to pain our wall doesn’t look one bit like the sample on the catalogue and mum complained that the colour I chose very dark. I ask her to tell the contractor that we want to change colour and she say that its not very nice to keep changing colours, the contractor already bought the paints. Even dad said the same things, that I shouldn’t be so troublesome and should just stick to the colours I chose.
Sigh, the only consolation I have is that all the renovation works is ending soon. I just need to persevere one more week and I will have a beautiful house with a beautiful room.
I thought I should pen all these down cause this might most probably be the first and last time im going to live in a house while its under going renovation.

Happy 2006
HAPPY NEW YEAR, PEOPLE!! This year will definitely be better than the last.
New year, new blog, new hopes, new goals, new aspirations, new challenges, new victories, new memories :)
Its weird how we see things once we enter the age of 25, a quarter of a century. Im not so sure if its the same for other people, but at least for me its true. At the age of 25, I start to ponder seriously about my life, what I want out of it. And I began to seriously think about all the things that I said I wanted to do before because if I want to do it, I better do it now else I know I will never get to do it and I will spend the rest of my life bumming around, not achieving much, like what I did for the past 24 years of my life.
So in year 2006, im not going to make any resolutions. Instead, im going to focus on how to improve the quality of my life. Im going to lead a fulfilling life and no one’s going to stop me.
Skills/knowledge
Degree in mktg/management/economics; minor accounting
(I am seriously thinking if I should go ahead with this. Will the degree help me in my career advancement? Taking a degree means a commitment of my finances and time and its not just a few grands or a few months we are talking about here.)
Learn a new language – German or France
(if I go into international purchasing, this new language should come in handy.)
Get my driving license
Money/finances
Double the amount in my savings bank
Family/love
Spend enough time with my family and frens. Make sure I spend my time evenly with all the people I love.
Show more care and concern to my loved ones, and curb that mouth of mine.
Health
Exercise, exercise and exercise on a regular basis. I must achieve my perfect weight and not gain any weight in the coming CNY. I have to re plan my exercise schedule.
Do mask every week. 25 le, must take care and maintain le. I wanna look forever young! And also time to really use the collection of masks I have.
Drink more water. Water is good. You can never drink too much water.
Get enough sleep. I must sleep early, especially on weekdays. Healthy lifestyle!!
work
to give my 100% at my job. at the end of the day, i can prodly say to myself that i have given my best today and not knowing that i could have done better.
Self
Chant, chant, chant everyday. Do morning and evening prayers everyday, at least try to do either morning or evening prayer daily.
Engage myself more in soka activities.
Be responsible for my own happiness, to find true happiness.
Go learn rollerblading. This is something I wanted to learn since the end of time.
Spend more time with myself. I need to spend time with my loved ones, I also need time for myself.
Pamper myself. Saving up is good but once every few months, I should pamper myself with a gift, a holiday, a spa trip or something.
At the end of every year, we always look back and learnt something new about ourselves. I looked back at 2005 and I am able to be more honest with myself. I shall start off 2006 from here and when its time for me to look back on this coming year, I hope I can be proud to say loudly that 2006 has been a fruitful, victorious and happy year.
