yesterday and today

Yesterday I had a sudden urge (dun ask me why but I always got sudden food cravings) to eat papayas. This morning, dad bought papaya for me as breakfast. Dad n I have telepathy. :)


Yesterday I made 2 new friends. :)


Yesterday I FINALLY got the ktv video clips from ping. Now wondering if I should post it up here. Some of them are quite funny. Haha, especially clip no. 5, as ping puts it. :)


Yesterday I went home and found a thick envelope on my table. Its the Progressive Report Funds. Gahmen giving out money. but seems like I am entitled for is lesser than what I anticipated. Anyway, a little is still better than none. A lot of pple says that enjoy the PRF now but we will be paying it back in the form of tax increase, bills increase. But think of it this way. The taxes are going to raise whether the or not the gahmen is distributing the PRF. So just take whatever amount u are granted for and be happy lah. :)


Today I woke up, weighed myself, found that I gained 0.6kg. I went to take a pee, weighed myself again and im back to my usual weight. Its surprising the pool of pee can weigh so much. :p


Today I took 1.5 hrs to finish 2.5 cups of soup. Yeah, soup only. My colleagues left for lunch seeing me drinking my soup. They came back to office from lunch and im still drinking my soup. :p


My memory is slowly failing me. I must, I must, I must remember to:

file my income tax online.
Register for the PFR online.

im like a babyyyyy

warning: u might not want to read this entry directly after your meal...

Was chatting with sis just now and she commented that my digestive system is like ace’s now. U know how babies shit almost immediately after they had their meals? Yeah, this is what im experiencing right now, which im loving it cause it means that all the food I ate are digested and no part (or very little part) of it is left in my intestines to rot or stored as fats.


In fact, after I had my meal just now, I went to the ladies about 20 mins later and cleared one round of shit. For the past few days, ive been drinking sea weed soup and when I shitted, I spotted black stuffs which looks suspiciously like sea weed. :p


Just like ace, cause sis says that there was once ace ate a lot of vege (chye sim or watever, I cant remember) and he shitted green green stuff, like the vege he ate earlier. Wahahaha.


No wonder ace loves me so much that he wanna fly off the bed to come to my side. ;)

beans & nuts

im in lurrrvvveee now... with 大红豆 (loosely translated: Big Red Bean)!! its not the normal kind of red bean used to cook red bean soup. its bigger, n longer than the usual red bean, can be found in 八宝粥 (loosely translated: 8 treasure porridge). it can be also found in the taiwan style ice kachang. 大红豆 is very sweet and after cooking, it doesnt become too soft so it still has some crunch when u munch it, which makes it very nice. i wonder why our local ice kachang dun use 大红豆. cos it will taste so much nicer.


anyway now im addicted to 大红豆. it has to be the nicest tasting bean in this world ever. everyday i will ask momo to put more 大红豆 into my soup. and i have joy digging the 大红豆 out and savour them first.


next on my list aft 大红豆 would be cashew nuts. cashew nuts are simply the most versatile nuts in the world!!! cause they taste nice anyway u cook them.


u can eat them:

roasted
honey roasted
salted (my fav!!)
plain
cooked in soup (they still taste sweet after cooking in soup)
coated with chocolate


theres just sooo many ways u can eat a cashew nut. im my opinion, cashew nuts is like chicken, cos theres sooo many ways u can cook a chicken and all taste nice. but of cause cashew nuts wins hands down because there is no cashew flu. hahaha.


imagine if cashew nuts were to replace chicken... i'll walk into a hawker center and order roast cashew nuts rice. confirm gonna be yummy.

or i can order herbal cashew nuts soup. yummy as well cos the cashew nuts are going to make the soup very sweet.

or i can have fried cashew nuts or bbq cashew nuts... ehhhh not sure if these 2 dishes are going to taste nice but can try though. hahaha.


i think im going nuts about nuts (pun totally intended) !! wahahaha...

abit of this n that

Hmmm... My brain processor has been on kind of a slow mode this week. By 10pm, im already in the power saving mode.


Came to office today and saw a pretty envelope on my desk with my name stated clearly on it. ‘wow’ I thought excitedly. Some kind of love letter?? And then I saw the words 喜喜 (loosely translated : double happiness) on the envelope. So its not a love letter, but a red bomb. Chey. Haha. ;p

But the wedding invites these days are really pretty. No longer like the traditional all red with a big golden Chinese character喜喜 in the middle. If you dun open the card, you wouldn’t have guessed its a wedding invite. When I get married, I want my invitation card to be in sweet candy floss baby pink and laced with the sweet fragrance of caramel. It will be so sweet that pple feel like licking the card when they received it. Or make it all black, classy, chic and cool.

Anywayz, im not getting hitched anytime soon so I have plenty of time to think. Heck, I might not even get hitched at all. Haha.

**

Was chatting with las few days ago and she was telling me about some thai horror movie that is not scary at all and I was like... Eh?? What movie?? And I realised that it has been months since I stepped into a cinema. So much so I dun even know what shows are showing at the moment. Oh well but I wouldn’t wanna pay $8.50, spending 2 hrs watching some sappy lame show that does nothing good or constructive to the brain.

Ok lah I admit nobody date me out for movies. Boo hoo. So sad... Hiaks ;)

**

Last weekend, I finally felt the true meaning of Pay It Forward. And the happiness that u felt when u know you have helped people breakthrough in their lives is simply indescribeable. Its the type of warm and happy feeling that simply bring tears to your eyes. At the moment when I saw my members breaking through themselves, sharing on stage, when they came out of the room and hugged me and thanks me, I was truly truly happy and tears just well up in my eyes. And everything is all worth it. The trainings since Monday, the late night sleeps, the muscle aches, the only 3 hrs of sleep from fri to sun, missing my meals during the 2 days... And all and all... Yes, its all worth it.

Same time, while im stretching myself to my limits, I can see very clearly where my blind spots are. And yes, to know but to not do anything to solve it is as good as not knowing. Yes, I’ll always remind myself of this blind spot that I have (and I always thought I dun have such a problem).

Oh ya, lastly on the questions I posted in my previous entries, how to cure muscle ache in 2 days time and how to improve your staminar w/o doing cardio exercises??

I found the answer!!

I have been running around and jumping and dancing from Saturday till Sunday and on Monday, no muscle ache at all!! And with all the little sleep in between, I actually got more stamina as well!! I can dance longer with more energy n dun pant like I used to.

And the answer has to be take more indinine and VP!! Yes, if not for indinine and VP, I dun think I can maintain so energetic throughout the 2 days. :D

**

End note: dun understand y some pple get so kan jeong over small things. Small issues they make it sound as though its something serious and then come and question me. Wah kauz. And please keep the file where it belongs aft you used it. Dun leave it on my freaking table. UNDERSTAND?!?!

little anedotes of the day

Today I lugged my gym bag (full to the brim), and a paper bag containing my thermoflask of soup and all to work. My bag is so heavy I have problem lifting it up with one hand. Plus the fact that my whole arm is aching. Was desperately waiting for a cab while carrying my heavy bags and finally an available cab came and it was snatched by a lady about 300m infront of me!! :( luckily I didn’t have to wait too long for the nxt cab and the driver keep asking me which route u wanna take? I told him PIE then he continued: aft PIE u want to go by CTE?? I told him I dunno the route well and he take the route he likes and he kept insisting: which route u want to go? I have to ask u first. GRRRRRRR.


Last night I took a cab to suntec and while on the cab, I was listening to my mp3 player and same time practising my SCS dance moves. I think the cab driver must have tot that I am an ah xiao cause I see he keep glancing backwards to the passenger seat. When we finally reach my destination, I was digging my coins to pay him and he kept saying: never mind never mind, less afew cents is ok. And he keep urging me to alight from his cab. I guess he must really think I am a lunatic. Cause I was raising my arms and all while practising my dance. And probably he never see that I was listening to my headphones. I got off the cab laughing.


Wanted to get some black hair bands during lunch today. Was wondering where I can get them and decided to make a trip to the watson at the shopping centre opposite my building cause that watson is quite big. I ended up spending abt 20 bucks on:

1 pair of insoles
1 travel size face wash
1 travel size shampoo
1 organic oatmeal cereal for ace


Yeah, no rubberbands, which is what I wanted to get, cause watsons dun sell plain hair bands.


On the way back to office, I decided to go to the pharmacy within my building and they sell plain black hair bands!! I never thought of going to the pharmacy in my building cause it was a rather small outlet so i thought the chances are slim.


So in the end, I spent $20 while what I initially planned to buy costs only $2. Hiaks. ;)

i-squeeeeseeee

I need I-squeeze very very very badly... I think I will invite myself to sis’s place and park my calves into her I-squeeze for the whole day :).


Im not sure if I can still walk after Sunday. Im not even sure if I can even raise my hands after Sunday. :p


Whoa. Am looking forward to this weekend. A tad nervous and very excited. These few days I realised that a lot of times, we underestimate ourselves. At least that’s the case for me. We should believe in ourselves. Nothing is impossible to achieve if you have the confidence. If you doubt yourself, then seek other people’s opinion. If they say you are up to it, means you are. Don’t doubt anymore. If they say u can be better, then learn how and where you should improve. But of cos, asking the right person is VERY important. I cannot stress on that more.


Anyway... Anyone knows how I can:
(1) improve my staminar by 100% in 2 days time without doing cardio exercises?
(2) heal my muscle aches in 2 days time??

worst shopping experience

Ive never felt so pek chek from shopping before.


Last sat, max, sis, ace and I went shopping. Or rather, they accompanied me shopping. Or rather, sis accompanied me shopping while max was in charged to taking care of ace, pushing the stroller and at times offer his valuable comment.


I wanted to get some working suits and a pair of black pumps. I combed the whole tampines central but didn’t manage to get anything. I cant believed it!! I thought my size is the easiest to buy clothes but it seems not like it. :(


First shop I went. They have nice suits. Price is affordable too.
Jacket ran out of S size
Pants/skirts ran out of S size (why would any shop be so stupid to have suits but do not have a pair of the same size??? So damn bloody KUKU right?!?!)


The other shops I went are either way out of my budget or they have jacket but no matching bottoms (also kuku right?? Got jacket no bottom how to match??) or their S is too big for me. :(


Haiz. So I thought to myself, nevermind if I cant get my suit. At least I can get my pumps. BUT I was WRONG!!


Went afew shops but cant find anything I fancy. When I finally found some that I think is nice, the sales person tell me they only have sizes 4 and 9 left. Wah lau eh!! Super sway right??


So in the end I went home empty handed.


On Sunday, I went shopping for pumps again. And this time I found a design I like and got my size too!! So I asked for a pair to try and realise that the left shoe is bigger than the right shoe. Turns out that the shoes were packed wrongly and the left shoe is one size bigger. And that was the last pair in the store. And if I wanted the shoes, I have to wait till the next day then I can collect.


GRRRRRRRRRRRR.


In the end I chose to collect it myself. So I’ll be heading to amara later to collect the shoes. No choice, I need them urgently. GRRRRRRRRR.

im an arete-an!!

I was selected to be in arete!! Yay!! Thanks all of you out there who gave me your well wishes. Special thanks to sis and max. you 2 are the best sis and bro in law I can ever have. ;) I must admit I was a tad too nervous during the interview. Well, but anyway, that’s not important cause I have already passed the selection and now is the time to proof that they did the right decision to choose me!!


**

speaking of max, my bro in law... That day he very the good leh...


We were sitting ard the table, playing with ace while waiting for sis. Then suddenly max turn to me and say: u smell, ace shit issit?? And before I can say anything he place ace’s bum right infront of my nose!! And I took a sniff (big sniff somemore) and wah lau super smelly sial!!


Upon seeing my face change colour, max confirmed that ace has shitted and held him at an arm’s length (the smell is starting to diffuse into the air con room) and ask me: faster faster go find ur sis. Tell her ace shitted.


And so sis the power mummy arrived and arm with a daiper in hand, we went to the toilet to help ace change. And the shit really smelly leh. I have to run in and out of the toilet for air cos I cannot tahan the smell. Salute my sis for being able to take the smell. She actually say: the smell is ok mah. Kauz! That’s the power of a mother’s love. as long as its her son's shit, how smelly oso become not smelly.


But I will never forget that splitting second where ace’s bum was placed right infront of my nose and I breathed in. n hor max actually smell something wrong le leh but he want to use my nose to confirm. I think if nxt time I have kids, I sure will do the same back to him. Tit for tat. Hahaha.


Since we are at the topic of ace’s shit, u might wanna read abt ace’s rolling shit. Ace very good leh. All shapes and sizes of shit he also can shit out. Haha.

any blogs to recommend?

Recently I find that there are lesser and lesser good blogs to read. I classify the blogs I read into 2 categories: the pple I know and the pple I dunno.


The 1st category are definitely my friends lah. Blogs gives an avenue to find out whats going on in your friend’s life. So we dun have to keep in contact daily but I know how he/she is doing. But sadly, some of them dun updates their blogs regularly leh (u know who u are, I shall not name names :p).


The later are the blogs I read for entertainment, when im bored at home or office. The blogs I read for entertainment are usually either (1) funny or (2) posts that I can relate to or both.


Recently I find that there are not much good blogs to read becos.

Cheekybynature has close down his blog. His blog damn funny one sial.

One of the blogs that I read has recently like turn into a porn blog. The posts are no longer as funny n interesting as before.

Xlx has close down his/her blog as well. I usually go there to fish for the latest gossips in blogosphere.

Another blog that I used to read in the past, I find that the posts are getting too immature for my liking. Probably I have grown up le ba :p

And some of the other blogs I read always have to wait eons before there is a new post.


Hmmmm... U pple got any entertaining blogs to share?


**

Yesterday my shoe strap broke in office.

Today I walked to the bus stop le then realise I left my wallet and hp at home.

Just now when I reach my bag to take out my VO container, I saw 2 of the covers were loosen and the VPs have fallen into my bag. Lucky only 2 covers came off and not all. But still.... And I have to dig all the VPs out from my dirty bag. :(

Sigh, I dun wanna say this but damn sway leh.

Tonight im going for AC selection. Nervous nervous. But I have done all the preparation I can. So I am confident. :)

Later going to isetan private sale during lunch time. Yipeeee...

KTV madness

couple of fridays ago, i went KTV with my bunch of sec sch friends. its been such a long time since i let my hair down at a ktv... too bad i was recovering from a sore throat then. but no glasses broke while i croon so i guess i still sounded ok lah.


weiming, huiping n songmei reached there first. when me, qq n tec arrived, guess whoose's song they were singing??


周慧敏 (vivian chow)!! if u dont know who 周慧敏 is, then u are not from the same era as me cos 周慧敏 was the 玉女教主 when i was in sec 2. all my guys classmates abosolutely idolise her!!


haha. yeah, so it was a night of the 90s. the songs we sang are all the 933 龙虎榜 top songs during our sec days.


guess what's the song of the night?? we actually sang this song twice!!

hint:
this song was sang by a very popular teeny bopper back in the early 90s.
song title consists of 5 words
the chorus got action one


give up??

its
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

aaron kwok's 对你爱不完!! he was my idol when i was in P4 ok...

yeah complete with the 对你爱爱爱不完 and action while standing on the sofa somemore.

huiping has the recorded our madness in her hp but i'll never post it here. ;)



throughout the lists of songs were also songs by emil chau and jeff chang. haha.


shall let pictures do the rest of the talking ;)



~ the bunch of babes~



~kiasu carol needs 2 mics to sing~



~acting cute :p~


~weiming n tec~


there are still tons of pictures but i cant possibly load them all here. we took abt 50+ pictures is that mere 4 hours. we snapped till weiming's camera low batt. haha. thats how horrigible we are.


will load the pics onto my multiply. so go check my multiply if u want to see the full set of pics. ;)

are they the same dawn?

Recently I saw on TV the trailers of a new Chinese drama serials, 星闪闪, starring Pierre png as a pianist and an unknown lady as a partially blind or blind girl.


My colleague told me that the gal who acted the blind girl is the chio chio blogger dawn yang. And I was like cant be lah. Cause the blogger dawn is sibeh chio and with the pan asia look one lor but the actress looks so so only. So how can they be the same person? I dun even find a trace of similarity!!


Then I read I-magazine the actress’s name is dawn also lor.


But how can it be cause its really not a bit alike. Dun tell me hair and make up can make such a huge difference??? Hmmmm...

Today I dug out a pair of pants which used to be abit tight and today I wore its abit loose!! Happy happy!! :D

woo hoo...

me is sooooo happy!!

abt a week ago, i started on a detox program, with the following reasons in mind.

1) to lose weight
2) to improve my health (we never know how much toxic is inside our bodies)
3) to cure my chapped lips (my lips always cracked and peel, especially after food, they will turn red and itchy. and if i dun apply lip balm before i sleep, the next morning, the cracks will be so bad even opening my mouth is painful.)


before i started the detox program, alot of people tell me i must be mad to wanna lose weight because i was already quite slim. i was 48kg then.


as the saying goes 减肥是女人的终生目标 (loosely translated means : losing weight is the lifetime goal of all woman). and ive always wanted to be 45kg... though i was never overweight before, but ive never been able to attain 45...


when i was in poly, my weight hovered around 50kg. i was abit bah bah (plump). when i started working, my weight went down to around 48kg (i guess its work stress ba). and no matter how i ate less, the weight just stays... till i started going gym at around 2004. i went gym about 3-4 times a week religiously for about 3 months and i managed to lose another 2 kg. my weight hovered around 46kg but it would never go lower no matter how i tried. :(


and when i reduced the number of times i went gym last year, my weight went up to 48 again. and it just refuse to go down.


so when i started my detox program, i set a goal that i must achieve 45kg, even though people tell me that i might not lose weight cos im already so slim le. but i think that this is a goal that i always wanted n i shouldnt let wat other people say affect me. so what if other people think im already slim enough le? most importantly i must be happy with my own weight. thats what that matters.


and really, 2 weeks into my detox program, i lose 3 kgs!! today i measured my waist. 23 inches. whoa whee!! even when i was in sec sch, where i do about 100 sit ups daily, my waist was only 24.5 inches. but now, 23 inches!! my bye bye arms are gone also. i like everything about me now. my cracked lips are gone also. i have slept many nights without applying lip balm and walk up with soft lips. my skin is smoother and my dark eye rings are lighter also (i dun need to use so much concealor when i make up today).


i never felt more confident and prettier and more energetic!! im still halfway though the detox program. im sure by the time i have completed my detoxing, i will be more mei mei!! :D
