2 more weeks!


GE Run in 2 weeks' time. Gotten a pair of Mizuno with Xq @ Vivo last Fri. Considering the fact that we didn't even plan the meet-up, it was quite an amazing & fast purchase. This brand is highly recommended by my coll. Like the cushioning & grip of this pair. Have been running with my pair of puma (not exactly running shoes type) all these while. With this pair, I hope it spurs me to run more=P Ready? Run bah!

Sun Evening: Family @ Sin Flyer

Inside a capsule, the views of Singapore surround. As Singapore Flyer terms - a moving experience at every turn. With the sun setting, al-fresco deck @ seafood paradise provides some good dining on a Sunday. As Bakerzin rightly describes, Macaron is all about sweetness. On a Monday evening, some bites of sweetness for the family=)

Vote for my niece!

Remember my first contact with diaper brands - the Marketing Research module I took during my last semester. We spent a great deal of effort & time doing research, questionnaires, analysis for our final project on diapers as it is a non-examinable 100% project grading module...it is fun nonetheless!

Niece Janelle is 20 months old now! As playful & cheerful as before, pls cast your vote for her if you think likewise=) Thanks! Closing date is on 9 Oct 08.

Overdose

Back from US autumn get-away...

Instead of jet-lag, think I am suffering from pics overdose...

Finally got them uploaded on FB,

"There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods, the Canyon of the Colorado, the Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Three Tetons; and our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children's children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred."

Bits & Pieces

Mum always prepare surprise snacks for us over the weekends=) Tata, it's prawn fritter this time round! She makes it sound so simple, quoted: "I hve some prawns, bean sprouts frm the mkt this morn, so with these ingredients + some plain flour = prawn fritters"



Sent my mobile for servicing last Mon evening. Received the msg to inform that it is ready for collection yest evening. I was thinking: I am definitely not going to spend another 2hrs waiting for the queue. Took bus 27 at around 10.30am to ensure that I were there early when the service centre @ century sq. opens from 11am. I got Q. No. 5 & the screen reflected that it was serving No. 3...good just 2 customers to wait for rather than the 20 over on Mon night. Got a beady ring from fieJapan..found it pretty & lugged it home. Impulsive purchase=P

Wall-E

Watched Wall-E with ssl @ vivo this morn. Show is supposed to start @ 10.30am. We are running late...walking @ a mad pace frm home to sk mrt to catch nel train. Managed to reach by 10.50am but thankfully, the movie only commenced ard 5 mins after we sat down:P

A thought-invoking show that touches on the emotions through scientific WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-class) & EVE (a feminine search robot). My fav character in this show is M-O, a small cute robot that is programmed to clean anything abroad the Axiom classified as " foreign contaminant".
Before catching it, I have heard some raves. My bias conclusion is guys might find this movie more interesting than girls. After all, it's robots!

Marutama らーめん まる玉

Went to Marutama on a Thurs night some weeks ago for Fio's birthday.

It's ramen again =P Enjoyed the Aka Ramen (left). As described on the menu, the soup base is made of 7 kinds of nuts topped with coriander. I am fascinated by the 7 nuts indeed & chose this. The rich brew is delectable, even without sprinkling the fried garlic chips. A wring of lemon gives an invigorating twist to the soup. The meatballs which come in nice pinkish colour are my fav. The springy thinner version ramen noodles complete the bowl.

Yummy & satisfied=)

HaPPy BirthDAY, Singapore!

On the 18th floor, masses of red, blue skies, water bay, esplanade, hotels, skyscrapers, singapore flyer, cranes. It seems like a nice painted pic which is definitely more complete with magnificent fireworks. A pity my phone cam is only 2 megapixels with reflections..nonetheless Enjoy!


Happy 43rd Birthday!

Niece Therapy

Met mum @ amk hub on fri. We went to MOSBurger for dinner. She asked me to order rice burger for her. I ordered one of my fav for her - Kakiage Rice Burger...quite surprised that my mum actually likes MOSBurger as she is quite a no fastfood, no mayo person. Yeah I have one more dearie to share MOSBurger cravings with:)

Seeing my niece as always is a therapy. Much better than retail therapy:P

With no jap classes on sat now, sis & I decided to walk from sk to my aunt place at seletar hills in the late morn. The morn breeze was nice. While we were 2 junctions away from sk new sports complex, a bus uncle driving an empty coach with kallang leisure park graphics printed signalled to us. The route ahead was straight & empty. He winded down his windows & said he cld give us a ride. We were hesitant but didnt know how to reject his offer. Onboard the empty bus, we realised he thought we were on our way to the sports complex for swimming. Nope, we told him we were heading towards jalan kayu area. He was indeed a kind-hearted soul, saying he wld drove us further up so we did not have to walk so far. Though our exercise plan is half-spoilt, we felt grateful to bus uncle.

Having not seen my beloved niece for close to 2 mths, she is beaming all the way. She has grown a little taller with longer hair & knows how to call yiyi now. I am offically "Yiii" to her. Snds old but guess I hve to accept it with grace. Her fav action with me is hug hug with arms wide open. Fav action with sis is knocking shoulders. We brought her to the nearby park for a walk. A sat filled with such simple joy:) Blissful (",)

Santouka らーめん 山頭火

I prefer soba all these while. However, have a sudden crave for some good ramen.

All set to go for either Marutama or Santouka @ Central. Looking at the snake queue @ Marutama, we settled for Santouka.

Fio & I had the set meals of ramen in shoyu (soy sauce) & miso (soybean paste). She chose fried rice while I chose the mountain grated yam rice. SJ ordered toroniku shoyu ramen. The soup base is strong & good but too saltish. Found out from waitress that shio (salt base) is the popular & least saltish among the 3 bases. Maybe will try the next time.

No drinks. We settled for azabu sabo hokkaido icecream in the end. Had my usual green tea with red bean. Just nice to end it off with my sweet tooth:)

TIme to get going on my jap hw:P

Friday The 13th

Dept dinner @ Minori tonight. Our whole team of 19 pax turned up. Fun night indeed! The last time I was here was during the grad prog when the coy paid for the executive set lunch. Sat around the same area this time. Think the tatami room will be nice, but it can only accommodate smaller grp. Service wise, rooms for improvements though.

The gang decided to head for drinks after tt...thinking of following to chill out initially. But didnt in the end haha. Hitched a ride with ju to clarke quay...we had to walk thru the clarke quay stretch to reach Central CQ stn. Ju's 1st time so while we passed Clinic, she said sick also come here? Haha told her the concept & she burst out laughing:P Always like some Nectarine desserts but as usual it was crowded...

Accompanying grandpa to bank tmr morn. Gotta feast again tmr @ PPS HTL brunch buffet. Sadly, hve to leave latest by 2pm to head for Jap class:( Looking fwd to Sun's blading, hopefully can kill off some calories from the buffets:)

Happy weekends!!!

of Roces & Puma


Tempting GSS period. Taking stock before overspend.

2 major purchases this year:

1st pair of in-line skates from Roces & another new pair of Puma:)

Saturday, May 24, 2008

Right Mood

GSS is here again! Many'll be in the mood for crazy shopping~late-night shopping~lunch shopping~weekend shopping...

Fri aftrn: Pop over to Vivo with Ju & YL to do some lunch shopping. Both managed to get stuff from Topshop. Was tempted to get sports gear from addidas but unfortunately those I like are only left with larger sizes. Mine was a failed attempt lunch shopping haha. We grabbed a quick bite to catch the bus bck to our island on time:)


Fri evening: Received dad's msg that grandma has been hospitalised @ ttsh. Took train down to novena to see her. Her blood pressure was low. Was teary. Doc & nurse attending to grandma are truly compassionate angels....


Sat aftrn: Jap Jap Jap!!! We got free cold drinks during break time today. Courtesy from the sch due to the non-functioning aircon. I chose the minute maid cranberry & was telling owl i dun mind @ all if aircon was down more often heee:P


Sat evening: Met XQ for cycling @ ecp. We had dinner @ MOS bugis. Took bus 167 to PP. Hmm guilty but we ended up shopping @ PP instead of going cycling. Maybe wasn't in the right mood though we seriously want some exercise. Did a pros & cons subconsciously. Why not save up the bike rental & engage in leg exercising instead? Shopping again! Took the 10pm free shuttle bck to SK. We were standing right at the end of the bus. After the bus exited from TPE, and was in the midst of turning right at the first junction, there was an emergency brake. XQ & the row of ppls standing after her fell:( Quite scary. Thankfully, no injuries. Apparently, we have to alight from there instead of compasspoint. Good for both of us cos my blk & XQ's busstop were nearby. We were still pretty puzzled on what happened exactly. There were policemen or maybe traffic police interrogating bus uncle. My guess was bus uncle was trying to make a right turn when he was on the middle lane and he was not supposed to do so.

Grapes!

Today, I realise that natural grape juice tastes real good. Mum marvellously turns the plate of fresh grapes we have in the fridge into glasses of juice for us. She nags that as the grapes are not seedless, we are all too lazy to eat them. Her freshly squeezed juice from the blender tastes real sweet & fresh..most importantly it is without any artificial flavouring or sweetener:) Good job!

Tampines - Siglap Park Connector

The Tampines - Siglap Park Connector, a 10 km coast-to-coast route from Pasir Ris Park to East Coast Park was conquered on Sat. Cycled through eastern Singaore via Sun Plaza Park, Tampines Town Centre, Bedok Reservior Park, Kembangan, Telok Kurau estates and reached ECP finally!

Yes, these 3 ladies without proper cycling gears (slippers, mobile music, cap) did met obstacles along the way, not big ones but enough to add some challenges to our cycling journey. Rain started to pour when we reached Tampines Town Centre. we decided to settle our lunch @ S11 while waiting for the rain to stop. We sort of got lost in Bedok North Rd where we couldn't find the Siglap PCN. After some detour, we managed to find it eventually:)

From ECP, we had to worry for the return journey cos we are on rented bikes! We continued to cycle to Changi Beach Park. Passing through Changi Village, the route continued to Loyang PCN and phew we were finally on the way back to Pasir Ris Park! Small incident when we were somewhere near Loyang Point on the way back to the park. Owl's bike chain got stuck and the bike refused to move. XQ & myself walked to Loyang Point to search for a bike shop but in vain. Owl ended up in a cab to ferry her bike & herself back while we continued to cycle bck...

We had a sense of accomplishment. Everything ended well, and the three of us are still in one-piece despite some oil stains, some bruises & more sweat on us..hsh..let's hope for less muscle ache tmr:P

心情

心情不是很漂亮。。。

你会很想保护身边所有的亲人和所有相识过, 结识过的人, 不希望他们受到任何伤害。

但事实总是残酷,让人预想不到的。

希望婆婆能早日康复。至于已经失去的生命,只能默默的希望他能得到安宁

须懂得珍惜。。。

Usually I'll prefer to dabble about light-hearted things...but bad news do disturb me to a certain extent.

Grandma was hospitalised this evening...i really hope things'll turn out fine for her. Praying for you.

When I thot this new is disturbing enough, my ex-coll messaged and informed that someone from PPS has passed away. EG & myself had went all the way to Kuching to hire him in. He was a v. honest and earnest person, someone who cares alot about his wife. He has rent a room in JB and was being assaulted by someone with a parang in JB. Will this happen to him if we have not hire him then and he has not come to Sin to work? I know I am being non-sensical, but can I turn back the clock?

Cookies- Eat Fresh

Had 2 sub-way cookies today! Yes not 1 but 2...x2 calories & fats grams ops! White chip macademia nuts & oatmeal raisin ones..sinfully yummy delicious:)

It's Sat!

Tried out the kampung fish therapy today. Initial feeling of fishes nibbling @ ur toes & feet was quite strange. We were quite uncomfy & wanted to move our feet around to prevent the small fishes from nibbling. It took us a while to get use to the feeling & we had tried to keep our feet still to enjoy the whole half an hour so that we wld'nt waste our bucks. The 4 of us had this thought: Fishes, nibble all you can & take away our dead skin cells!
Bought korean biscuits & instant noodles @ Square2 Sol-mart today. We have an auntish feeling carrying our grocery plastic bags with snacks. Hee with today's purchase & yest jap snacks bought, think I am really auntish bleh...
LH has a v. adorable maltese in her new tiong bahru apt with SN:) She is 3 mths old & v. small. Just like a soft toy:P ST & XQ have nicer pics of fifi on their cams. No cam with me so tried capturing her on my mobile, personally think real fifi is cuter than photo haha:P

It's Fri!

It's Fri! It was a rather dull fri..mixed feelings. TW has been called off cos SJ has some work commitments. Fio & I were planning to head down to book tmr originally. Guess we hve to postphone it this time. Guess also hve to learn to be smarter nxt time....my mentality of doing my best just doesn't seem to work?

Some happy snacks to brighten up my Fri. Met mum @ compasspoint for dinner. While waiting for her, I was hooked to the Jap Fair and gotten meiji strawberry dippy, morinaga choco chips and dorayaki cake with red bean & chestnut fillings! Not sure if they taste nice though...enjoy the simple pleasure of life:P

Saturday, March 08, 2008

Get Well Soon!

Fio, saw ur post but there is no way I can login to leave comments as I am always informed that the username & pw are wrong..hmm strange cos I key in the same ones to login for posting here...anw if you are reading this: Hope you are feeling better after the sinfully delicious dinner. Since your stomach can't take lactose..shall rmb nxt tym & make sure we dun hve high-lactose content dishes kk...

Had a go @ working style from your blog:)

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test47.aspx

Your Working Style
You are friendly, adaptable and a realist. You rely on what you see, hear, and know first-hand. You good-naturedly accept and use the facts around you. You look for a satisfying solution instead of trying to impose any "should" or "must" of your own. You are sure a satisfying solution will turn up once you have grasped all the facts.
You solve problems by being adaptable, and often can get other to adapt, too. People generally like you well enough to consider any compromise you suggest. You are unprejudiced open-minded, and tolerant of most everyone-- including yourself. You take things as they are and thus may be very good at easing a tense situation and pulling conflicting factions together.
You are actively curious about objects, scenery, activities, food, people, or anything new presented to your senses. Your expert abilities in using your senses may show in:
- a continuous ability to see the need of the moment and turn easily to meet it
- the ability to absorb, apply and remember great numbers of facts
- an artistic taste and judgement
- the handling of tools and materials
With your focus on the current situation and realistic acceptance of what exists, you can be gifted problem solvers. Because you are not necessarily bound by a need to follow standard procedures or preferred methods, you are often able to see ways of achieving a goal by "using" the existing rules, systems, or circumstances in new ways, rather than allowing them to be roadblocks.
You make your decisions by using the logical analysis of thinking rather than the more personal values of feeling. Your thinking enables you to crack down when the situation calls for toughness, and also helps you grasp underlying principles. You learn more effective in actual situations than on written tests. Abstract ideas and theories are not likely to be trusted by you until you have been tested in experience. You may have to work harder than other people to achieve in school, but can do so when you see the relevance.
You do best in careers needing realism, action, and adaptability. Examples are engineering, police work, credit investigation, marketing, health technologies, construction, production, recreation, food services, and many kinds of troubleshooting.
You are strong in the art of living. You get a lot of fun out of life, which makes you good company. You enjoy your material possessions and take the time to acquire you. You find much enjoyment in good food, clothes, music, and art. You enjoy physical exercise and sports, and usually are good at these.
How effective you are depends on how much judgment you acquire. You may need to develop your feeling so that they can use your values to provide standards for your behavior, and direction and purpose in your lives. If your judgment is not developed enough to give you any character or stick-to-it-iveness, you are in danger of adapting mainly to your own love of a good time.

Loving MOS

To rank in order of preference, it goes MOS, Subway & BK...

Mum didn't prepare dinner tonight. With dad in Hyderabad & the 3 of us getting home @ unfixed hrs after work, it is pretty hard for mum to prepare dinner. Decided to take-away MOS for dinner, some bites for sis, bro & mum as well. (little treat for the surprise performance bonus check from PPS in the mailbox yesterday, my heartfelt thanks. Plan is to use a portion of it for the postgrad dip fee:)

Order: mini apple pies (mum), corn soup+MOS bread (Bro), Croq burger & Kinpira rice burger (Sis & me), Fries (Everyone)

Vivo & Safari

Thur night- met up with sis @ vivo & we tried out Doc Green. The ambience & layout of the restaurant are pretty nice...quiet on a weekday night. Though I don't find the foodies too "green". Sis ordered the set dinner which consists of chicken & ribs with soup & fruitty salad (forgot to capture pic on mobile)...& I asked for the half turkey sandwich. It is interesting that u get to choose half or full for the sandwhich..i like:)


Fri night - met up with gang for night safari...meeting ks & sq @ tiong bahru b4 heading to cck for bus. We had a quick dinner @ tiong bahru b4 meeting xj & mr lee @ cck. It was a long long wait for the bus @ cck. Waited for close to half an hr. Slight drizzle when we reached. We took the tram ride but have to give the shows a miss as they are cancelled due to wet weather...pretty disappointed that there is no wet weather programmes available...can't imagine if I am a tourist & not on free passes!

Wanton Noodle

Mum tries to prepare slightly different foodie on sun cos it is the day she'll head to the market in a week...a day when all of us'll usually be around during dinner time:)

Today she made hawker fare - wanton noodle for us. Cooking it plates by plates...a total of 5 plates. Mine is the 3rd being prepared & here it looks:

This version is different from the HK soupy version but still think it tastes great nonetheless! Haa good job mum! Hee don't think you read my blog though:P

Wed Blues

Long day @ work due to a brewing flu that started after the afternoon mandarin orientation session. Had a sore throat when waking up for the past 2 morns... knew tt the hershey's in my fridge must be the main cause. Blame in on the weather for the flu bah...if I still can't recover by tmr noon, shall pop over to TMP over lunch for meds...

Tiny surprises await after stepping out of ofc. Left ofc @ ard 8...was walking in MS when I knocked into ST...she was with her cousin & meeting up with WL for dinner. Can't join them as told my mum heading bck for dinner & knew I am in a poor state to hang out tonight. Shall catch up with her & XQ again on 23rd Dec during the charity event:)

Another small surprise when I rch home is a courier parcel from Korea. It is from Ji Hae, my neighbour in the hostel during cph times. She was sweet to write a card, send memorative joint issue of Korea-Singapore stamps & Jangs brand handmade earrings:) Ger, thanks for the thoughts!

Guess I hve to stop feasting on snacks, chocs after dinner..this seems to be my chubbiest moment after uni..& is growing fatter...i guess the hershey's temptation is too huge to be ignored....moderation & more exercise it shall be then:)

White Christmas~

Dreaming in my little world...

A white christmas.

Along streets of houses covered in layer of snow. Freshly baked bread & cookies in the air.
Longing for a white christmas since the 1st day of Dec.
My fantasy will continue...in my dreams ZzZ maybe.

Moving on...

Having made up my mind & taking a step forward in 2008!
I'll definitely miss the status quo, the bonds built, the laughters, many little bits & pieces that create the big family here.
As I always firmly believe, there are bound to be pros & cons in every turn you take. You weigh them and reach a balance. Moving towards my goal I hope for the most positive.
The journey continues...

Dunno what happened to me since yesterday late afternoon. My stomach felt wierd & the head seemed to be spinning. I had to bear with it till the end of the day. Bro gave me a ride home. We left town @ around 8pm.

My appetite was totally gone when I reached home. Usually by now I wld be quite hungry. But not today. Felt nauesous. After bathing, popped into bed. Woke up to vomit out all the lunch that I had in the hotel in the afternoon. Felt terrible, popped into bed again. Woke up in the middle of the night to vomit again, till my stomach muscle ached.

How can I spend my treasured leave day like this? Hve to reach Mandai golf course @ 7.30am. I am forcing myself to be awake so that I wldn't fall asleep again. Thus, typing this blog to kill time. No matter what, I have to go for the test. It is the purpose of taking leave for today. If I fell sick, it really defeat the purpose=(

Cambodia - Siem Reap

Boarded 3K595, JetStar 6am flight. First time on JetStar, budget=P. The 1hr50mins flight was kinda of bumpy due to air turbulene. On-board magazine, JetAway was interesting and it managed to engross me for most of the flight other than the rest of the time when I doze off. Catching up some sleep was good...didn't sleep much the night before after reaching home from work at 10plus and still need to do packing...

Siem Reap Int. Airport - Small, neat with a pinch of asian charm. Time zone diff from sin by an hour earlier. Reached Royal Crown Hotel in ard 30mins. Unable to check in till 11am. Ended up exploring the central market & pasr chaa (old market) area. Had lunch @ blue pumpkin, an air-conditioned cafe with free wi-fi access. It was the author's choice in lonely planet. Had linguine while sis had fish&chips.

Plans were made for the next few days visit to Angkor temples. We decided on taking the tuk-tuk which is open-air. It was more economical for two pax & personally felt that it'll be more interesting to travel in tuk-tuk..after all by travelling in tuk tuk rather than conventional car (the cars seen here are usually toyota camry ranging from the older models to the latest ones) you get to see, feel, hear etc & use all your five sensory..why not? So we decided & hope for the best=)
