Merry Xmas !!!

Ho ho ho... it's the xmas festive season again! yr by yr, the atmosphere's like getting less and less being felt. this yr's like "suddenly it's xmas again"... not much "mood" or excitment involved.. erm.. u all get wad i mean? maybe it's due to the fact tt the wk b4 xmas i was in BK then when back, i simply stayed at home until xmas eve, hence did not feel the xmas mood. hmm..

*

went back to work on monday xmas eve. surprised to see many presents on the desk. of cuz, it's not only my desk tt had many presents. all other desks had presents on them too. the dept's culture was for everyone to buy presents for everyone.. how duh ya? usually is draw lot, then u only buy for tt specific person whom u drew and all other pple r optional. but for here, i was told usually everyone will buy for everyone else. so of cuz there'll be many presents la.. but juz din expect them to leave the presents on the table even b4 the day started for work.

*

started work for a while, then slack for a while and had the xmas lunch ard 12 noon. lotsa food, all sponsored by the 3 immediate heads. include pizzas, sushi, salads, satay, log cake, turkey, wine etc. and then finally, we were released at abt 1pm. yeah!! if only everyday is xmas eve. basically go there and slack and celebrate only..

*

some pics of the celebration...

*

~the healthy sushi and salad~

~pizzas! yummy! ~

~the load of fruits which of cuz, cannot be finished in the end~

~the v beautiful and interesting log cake. in my fav choco flavour too! too bad i was too full to enjoy it le. only ate one small piece. should have left more space for it~

~the presents! yea~

*
went home after work to drop the presents off. then took a nap while waiting for hubby to come. went out again at abt 6+. ate dinner at the jap restaurant beside manhatten in plaza sing. never been there b4.. not too bad.. then watched "The Warlords" at 9+. not bad, quite a nice movie. by the time the movie ended and we left the theatre, it's already a few mins to 12am. then...... tt fat boy...... wanted to go to the toilet.... and..... there.....the toilet..... was where i counted down to 12am!! fat boy!!! thanks lor! how memorable can tt be huh! while everyone's counting down in the street, i was in the toilet! somemore no other person in the toilet lor. only me and me and me lor. wad the... *

actually the 2 of us also quite boring. every yr also spent it in orchard though every yr we will say "next yr we'll do something else and not come here to squeeze". how ironic rite? but this yr, did not exactly sqz la, since we spent most of the time in the cinema. it's juz many pple on the street (esp bangladeshi!), walking, some playing with the foam spray thing and making alot of noise. among all these "chaos".. i always feel the 2 of us being extremely small. i wonder why.. maybe it's cause most pple r in big grps while it's always only the 2 of us. v the miao xiao~

*

the 2 miao xiao us~ haha
*

alrite, here wishing everyone a very very merry xmas. hope all of you had enjoyed urself and of cuz, made good use of this hol to take a good break~ looking forward to the new yr now.. but b4 tt.... still have 3 more days of work!!! argh~

BaCk!!

heyhey.. im back in singapore! juz touched down frm the plane. now at airport. hmm... this bangkok trip... again full of ups and downs. and i think... i still prefer taipei and hk. things r v cheap. but the traffic and the air pollution... it's really really bad.. and the pple... arent tt friendly too. don know y but this time round, i did not have the feeling i always have when im abroad. tt kind of feeling, cant describe. but i will know it whenever im overseas. even in JB, i can feel it. but this time, somehow dont have tt feeling. hmm..

*

glad i took an early flight back. it's still early here. unlike prev i always take the late flight and when back, it's already in the wee hours and when back home, it's sooo quiet already. ok.. going home. my home sweeeet home~~!

BloggiNg Frm BaNgkOk ~

blogging frm the hotel now. lol ~ it's a budget hotel really.. only abt $30+ dollars per nite and inclusive of breakfast.. and the breakfast's quite good too. bangkok's one hr behind s'pore.. my watch's showing 10.10am.. so effectively, it's only 9.10am in bangkok now. haa...

*

and ah ji.. if u r reading this, the room comes with a private bathroom and have got towels too. and alot of food and drinks but gotta pay one la. hahahha... so far so gd ~ i really always worry for nothing~ haii..

*

big bright sun outside. 1st station will be the chatuchak wkend market. hopefully it's gd ~

*

this hotel's rather ulu... right inside an alley. ytd nite went to eat at a jap restaurant. 2 rice and i side cost abt $14+. quite cheap yeah. okok... time's running out... going off! 10baht for 10mins... woohoo ~ i'll be back!

everything is an omen...
*
frm the many failed bookings.. till the prob in checking in juz nw
*
maybe i should not have come on this trip.
*
the rain was sooo heavy juz now. till i can only see the rear lights of the cars in front. i cannot even see the cars! everything was delayed. no good seats on flight. everything is juz plain flop.
*
i really have a bad feeling abt this.
*
35 more mins b4 i board the plane.
*
pls pray

im so damn loaded. i have $10k with me right now. hahahhaha.. im rich!!!!

*

yeah. real hard cash of $10k...... thai bhat

*

bleah

*

again, im juz sooo thankful it's not an early flight tmr. i havent even pack my stuff! not even one outfit has been put into the luggage. man.. i juz hope i wont missed out anything with the last min packing. i hate doing things last min... cuz when im rushing for time, i tend to make mistakes. i guess, i juz cannot work under pressure and tight timing. i must ensure everything is ok b4 i can rest my mind. and if time is tight and i cannot have the luxury of making sure everything is ok, i will start to worry. tt is really a big problem..

*

i don like myself to be like tt. i wish i can be more heck care abt things. but i cant. maybe tt's the characteristic of a virgo.. a damn perfectionist. when i cannot cfm tt everything is ok, i will start to worry. and most of the times, i worry for nothing. dammit. can anyone tell me how not to be so persistent? how to juz relac and not think too much and consider too much and get too concerned with everything?! i really don like to bother myself with so many things, yet... i cant stop and i allow myself to be bothered. wad the.......................

*

tdy i managed to complete most of the work. but somehow, there r things which i feel is not properly done and will have repercussions. see? isnt tt plain worrying too much? y cant i juz forget them and only face them when the so-called "repercussions" take place? if they never take place, then i will have been worried for nothing, ya?!!

*

argh.. im juz a weird ass. i know exactly wad is wrong, yet i cannot control myself to think in the right way. wad lack of self-control huh?

*

and today.. i was happily talking on the phone when suddenly i see blood dripping. i did not even know where the blood came frm. my both hands were blood stains and some dripped on the table and a drop landed on my jeans. my colleague was telling me it must be my hands since he does not see my face or nose bleeding. and finally, after wiping the blood away, i realised it was a cut on my finger.

*

how amazing rite?

*

i dont even know when i got hurt, how i got hurt, and wad got me hurt.... worse still... i did not even know tt i was hurt... tian ahh.... am i suffering frm some hidden illness? how come i dont seem to feel painful? bleeding already also cannot feel. haii...

*

i must be too stress with work.

*

yes. it's time for a gd break.

*

o yes. and tdy.. my head came to me.. telling me tt there was a customer who complaint abt me via email. diao.. bascially i say the same thing to eveybody with the same attitude. i have looked thru the memo and there was nothing special. i really do not recall being nasty or rude to her. so y she complain me huh?? this goes to show tt, diff pple have diff interpretations to stuff. i say the same thing to everyone, how come others can take it, yet she feels so offended ne? weird.. weird.... juz plain weird.. and it also shows wad is meant by "说者无心,听者有意"... guess i should watch and be more careful of wad i say in future. some pple are juz too sensitive and fragile... haii

*

ok... enuff of all these worryings. im going off to a (hopefully) good break. i don care and im not going to care anymore! time to relax, relax and juz plain RELAX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im so dying

*

i reached office abt 35 mins earlier. i lunched in. i ot. yet.. still have stuff unsettled. tmr's the last day for me to clear. im not gonna be concern with the productivity tmr. determine to clear all the shit so i can leave with a peaceful mind and enjoy myself fully.

*

colleagues r telling me to juz forget it. to juz leave everything and leave and have fun. many told me to forget abt work once i stepped out of office. but i cant. maybe im juz a born worrier. always thinking too much.. always worrying too much... always being concerned with too many things.. but then, on the good note, im just being v reponsible, arent i?

*

a colleague told me tt im doing too many things on my own. as in, many things can don do, but i choose to do. wad's the meaning of tt? maybe it's time to learn how to relac and play "taiji". time to learn how not to take everything onto my own hands. time to learn how to push the responsibility to other pple. time to learn how to play smart and act blur and stop faking garang.

*

when i come back frm my trip, i shall learn.

*

for now, pls pray hard i can clear all the shit by 6.30pm tmr.

*

im juz so glad it's not an early flight on sat. still have some time on sat to do the packing and stuff... everything is so unsettled... but time is juz mercilessly moving on, not waiting for me to complete wad i wanna complete.......

1st day of the last mth of the year. woohoo ~ many public hols coming ahead. great~!

*

totally slack at home again. woke up at 10.30pm and started watching tv. watched tofu st frm 11-1pm, then taiwan variety show, zong yi da ge da frm 1-3pm. after tt took a nap till 6pm and then dinner and watch vcd till juz now. hahaa.. v relaxing hor?? too bad the day's coming to an end. if can continue to slack jiu hao le.

*

supposed to go out with mum today, but in the end did not. realised tt tofu street's quite a nice show. cant remember the storyline already... been soo long ago.. but i remembered it did not leave an impression in me. after so many years then watch again, then i realised it's quite a gd show afterall. maybe it's an example of the many things tt we learnt to appreciate only after a v long time? haha.. too bad tmr gotta work, cant catch tofu st and slack like today le.

*

boohoo~

*

and realised tt dramas in the past were all dubbed while now there's no dubbing and actors and actresses have to use their real voice. hmm... i think dubbing is better. though it's said tt using real voice is more natural, but i really think dubbing is better. maybe tt's y i feel tofu st is nice now. cuz now been watching singapore dramas with no dubbing and they really sux. so as compared, the old times dramas r better? mmm..

A SleePinG LiOn

had a good 1hr15mins heart-to-heart, two-to-one talk with my 2 immediate superviors. frm 6.15pm to 7.30pm. woo wahh... but... it's not only me who had the talk la. they also talked to the 2 colleagues who came in with me. actually they will talk to all the newbies. something like an appriasal thing.. telling us so far how r our performance, where r the areas to improve etc.

*

this morning, i saw the big head at the white board and he stood there for soo long. i bet he was looking thru the individual results. and later tt day, the 2 immediate heads spoke to us on the performance issue. i bet it must be becuz of the big head. he must be the one telling the 2 heads to talk to us on our performance and to tell us which areas to improve.

*

how stress eh?

*

it's time to turn on the turbo. the guy who came in with me... he's super gd. even better than the old birds. i really don know how he can do things soo fast. his records are black almost everyday. i really wonder how come. how come he can do it yet i cant? actually the prob does not lie with me. it lies with him! almost everyone's record was red for ytd, except him and another old bird. how come??????? i dont mean to be competitive, but i really don see y he can do it but i cant. it's really time to turn on the turbo. full force.

My IdoL

saw this report on andy lau jumping down the stage to "rescue" his fan. being a almost 10-yrs fan of andy and out of curiousity, i went to the website and took a look. (click on link below to view if u want)

*

andy

*

hmmmmmm.... i must say he's really v shuai... but then... i cant help but feel tt the whole thing's a hoax. everything's like being planned b4 hand and he shuai till too fake already la. i strongly believe tt the whole thing is 自编..自导..自演......

*

the 疑点s are as follow:

1) there were soo soo many guards and barriers, how the hell did the guy managed to go right in front of the stage? it's really highly improbable lor. for a function like this, there must be many "gate-keepers". he cant possibly get to the front of the stage and present flowers de lor.... unless of cuz.... way b4 hand, he already had the permission to enter...

2) how come sooo qiao there's someone who had the camera set properly to shoot the whole incident down? if u look properly, the "camera man" 1st shoot the fan presenting flowers..then the fan being dragged away by the guards, then, as if he/she knows andy's reactions, readily went on to shoot andy lau jumping off the stage and the following fight. it's like wahh.. so 准.. managed to shoot down the whole process and i literally mean whole process.

3) and andy is really v shuai. his acts r too shuai to be normal reactions. it's like he's putting on an act lor..

*

yepp.. that's y i feel, the whole thing mite juz be a hoax to create hoo-haa and of cuz, to boost his image as a "hero".

*

but then again, it mite all be true. but even if it's true, i think he shouldnt have jumped off the stage and struggled with the guards. true tt the guards should not be too violent with the fan, but all in all, the fan was at fault. and the guards were only carrying out their duty to protect someone whom they r paid to protect. if anything were to happen to andy lau, they'll be in deep shit. so.. besides being a little too violent, i seriously think there's nothing wrong with the guards lor. and who knows? maybe being violent is necessary. i think andy's act is encouraging his fans to go against the rule..but saw frm some reports tt he did "reprimand" the fan .. so maybe not tt bad..

*

but if i were one of the guards, i think i will be super pissed with him lor. he took all the glory, yet i was condemned. im juz doing my job to protect him, yet in the end, i was assaulted by him and scolded by him. but then if anything were to happen to him, all the blame will be put on me and i will die terribly. hmm... life being a guard is not easy too huh...

ahh.. i havent been blogging actively!!! actually a number of things tt i wanna blog on, but there's no time for them. and now.. it's actually time to slp, but tot i'l juz come in and write something. lol ~

*

nothing v happening recently. last sat went out with mama to tiong bahru and pa joined us later. treated them to beppu menkan. though im really broke, but it still feels gd to give treats to pple u love. :) then on sunday went back to JUST to work. woohoo~ smooth as a breeze... much much better than the prev time i went. everything is so simple and st. forward now. hehe.. then after work went met hubb and his family for dinner cuz his mama's bday. yepp..

*

o, and tt sunday at JUST.. ah min was there too. hehehehe.. the 1st time we worked together after like almost 10yrs? lol~ i mean literally work together.. earn money together la. she started work at JUST for quite a while le, but they never schedule us to be at the same branch until last sunday. i guess they r worried tt we mite talk more than we work. but we also v zi dong la. did not blantantly chat la...hehe.. hopefully next wk she'll be at the same branch as me again :) and... i was reminded of the time when we went interview together many many yrs ago. that was don-know-how-many-years ago liao. the 2 of us went to this cafe for interview, thinking how fun it'll be to work together and make coffee.. but in the end, both of us werent selected. wad great loss for tt employer huh~

*

hmm.. have 2 DnDs coming up. one is for bro's co, and the other is my own co. bro has got extra invitations for 2, so can bring me and hubb along. got free food... hiak hiak hiak.. too good to be missed! then for uob's DnD, it'll be at shangri-la.... v posh horr? cannot wear too "lock" horr? but then it's a friday after work leii.. i juz feel funny lorr.. bring clothes there to change meh? then after work then put on full make up meh? hair do lei? feels so weird. or maybe can juz wear office wear to go? ...afterall only go there for the food and lucky draw only rite? loL~ but still.. costume is a headache.. should i invest in a new one? but given my v cheapo attitude, most prob i'll juz grab something frm sis, juz like wad i did for sec and jc prom. lol~ hopefully ah ji has something gd in stall for me!!

yay.. i finally bought the m.a.c mascara. been procrastinating and hestating.. finally bought it! bought some other stuff as well. there's this priviledge for uob's staff -- 15% discount at tangs vivo and orchard. so took this opportunity to hurry buy wad i wanted to buy. hiak hiak hiak.. good bargain. saved me quite a bit. :)

*

on fri had this fire drill at work. reminded me of the days in school. and i realised how long it had been since i last stood on a field. we were supposed to gather at this open field near the building... tt grassy smell.. and those flying insects tt r always flying slightly above the grass.... really reminds me of school... hmm... images of my alma maters r becoming v vague. esp jc. i cannot rememeber how jj looked like alr. can remember the diff parts but on the whole,i alr forgot. as in how is the hall linked to the field.. how is the canteen linked to the classroom... all these i cannot rem alr. jialek.....

*

anw, my leg hurts frm having to climb down 24 storeys during the drill. lucky tt we could take the lift back up. cannot imagine how to climb 24 floors. and luckily they scheduled it on friday when we could dress down. hahah.. but the guys cannot dress down even on fri. saw how my colleagues had their shirts all "drenched". lol~

*

and.... my rite eye... i can feel a bak jiam coming out. exactly the same kind of "feel" i had when i experienced the 1st bak jiam in my life. i juz knew once i kenna, it will always come back. now im applying the ointment tt the doc gave me the other time. hopefully it will go away and not got worse like last time. though i can see doc for free, but mum sd i should not always see doc on the co's expense... afterall, i've only started working for 3 mths. don know if she's rite.. but it does make sense. doesnt really reflect too well... o well.. i juz hope it'll go away by tmr....

*

BeaTinG Ard ThE BuSh

tdy went work couldnt logged into the system. later head announced tt system's down. woohoo! practically slack the morning away! shiok! then we were asked to go for early lunch. went lunch at 1130am.. tt's early ya... too bad when we came back frm lunch, the system's ok le. gotta start work all over again. but not too bad le la.. a bonus alr... 2 hrs plus got nothing to do.. lol

*

after work was walking towards the mrt when kenna stopped by this prudential guy. asked if can help him in a survey. i tot juz a survey wont take too long, so juz stopped and helped. then he started talking abt soo many darn things. started off with the changes in the cpf.. then how much i save..how much interest i earned by putting my money in the banks... whether it's worth it or not...if i have alr used my cpf for investments.... blah blah blah.. sometimes i juz don understand y these pple simply cannot come st to the pt. y dont they juz tell me wad they can offer me? all they wanna tell me is tt banks cannot offer wad they can offer me, rite? so juz tell me la. so many pple walking ard us and we r standing in the middle of nowhere so wad's the pt of telling me soo many nonsense? i mean.. it juz doesnt make sense lor.

*

same goes for those pple at supermarkets... u know..u r looking at some pdt, say for example shampoo. let say u r looking at brand A shampoo. then some other brand promoter will come over and start making comments like "i see that u have oily hair.. this one is too oily for you..it contains blah blah blah...." actually, wad for tell me so many rubbish? all u want to tell me is tt the pdt tt u r promoting is better than the 1 tt im looking at and u juz want me to buy ur pdt rite? so duh rite? not the 1st time already. im looking at something then some other brand promoter wil juz come over and "snatch business". it's juz... hard sell lor.

*

back to the prudential guy. after beating ard the bush for so long till i cannot take it and tell him tt i gotta go off alr, he gave me his name card. on the bottom was printed 'B Eng (Civil) (Hons)' ... kaoz.. he has a degree in civil engineering, somemore got honours lor. wad the hell is he doing standing on the street, trying to stop tom dick or harry like me to listen to him??

*

i know it's good money if there's enuff biz.. but... standing on the street trying to get pple to respond is juz toooo tough. out of 10 pple, 2 already have some plans on hand, 2 will rather buy frm someone they knw, 2 is not financially stable enuff (like me!) and 2 is simply not interested. in the end maybe got 2 potential. and gotta spend don know how much time to convince the 2. it's juz tough!

*

salute to all financial planners and advisers out there! in fact, salute to all those whose income depends on their sales figure. really really xing ku le.

R&R

it's a relaxing, slow sunday at home. warm, sunny day outside. if not for the wedding dinner later, i'll be able to totally, happily slack my day away. it's good to have a break frm the busy working schedule.im juz so thankful tt there was deepavali, no tuitions on sat, and no work on sunday. so totally free.

*

actually, it's all up to me. no one forces me to work extra. no one said i must work extra. i can juz forget abt the tuitions, forget abt the part-time and forget abt the OT. juz monday to fri, nine to six-thirty. on wkends i can juz simply nua at home, just rest and relax. but... im not sure if im ready to forgo the extra income. not alot, but it does help to pay off for the bils, bus fares and the you-de-mei-you-de.. mmmm.....

*

i think im becoming more and more of a hermit. instead of wanting to go out for a walk, i'd rather stay at home rest. ytd went out with hubb.... but there was really nothing to do. nothing in particular i wanna buy or he wanna buy. no good movies. ktv was ex since it was in the evening when we went out. juz so boring. i will rather stay at home slp or watch tv or juz lie in bed nua, and wait for time to pass.

*

o man.. wad is happening? im always tired and i don wanna go out. go out = no place to go = nothing to do = spending on ex food = boliao = waste of time. am i suffering frm some kind of depression? y do i detest going out now. hmmm ...

*

for the past wk , the only interesting thing tt we did was eating at the roti prata shop near my house and playing bowling at safra. i realised i do have a flair in bowling. wahahah.. and the murtabak tt we ate, yum yum. maybe it's more fun staying around my neighbourhood than going out to town.

Bo Lui aKa No MonEy

received an email tdy... sd my OT pay for Oct will only be credited to me in Dec and not in Nov, reason being that the approver was away, hence the payout's not in time for Nov's payroll. haii.. juz when there r so many expenses.. juz when im so broke... juz where there r 2 wedding banquets this mth... juz when i can only part-time for 2 sundays this mth... juz when i feel so sian abt private tuitions tt im so reluctant to fix the next tuition date with the student.. haii..

*

this sunday, a colleague's holding wedding banquet. hence cannot work at JUST..... and gotta pay angbow. ahhh... then next sun's another colleague's wedding, so also cannot work at JUST. but lucky the 2nd colleague's a malay.. angbow money not as much. hee.. real broke liao..

*

but it's a gd thing no need to work at JUST la. v tired. and somemore, it's a load of mess at JUST recently. cuz there r many transitions going on... price increase... starting of next yr's work etc etc etc blah blah... i feel im 越帮越忙 lor. cuz there r many changes and im not familiar.. then most of the time also need to seek help... think im not there, they r better off. haha.. wait till the transitions period's over, when everything stablises and things become v st. forward and simple, then i go back ba. hahaa.. v loser hor?

*

yepp.. been v tired these days. think v soon, i'll lose the energy to continue my "OT-2-Times-Per-Wk" plan.

*

tt "car-touching" competition. hmm.. i tot all the while only one winner? how come this yr they categorized b/w males and females and there r one winner frm each grp? anw, the female winner won the male winner. woah. li hai.. think the competition lasted for 77hr plus. tt's like 3 days plus? mad..really mad.. i don knw how they did it. 3 days standing outdoor, regardless of the weather conditions, somemore cannot slp. i think i will juz die down there. but then again... the car's worth $50k+. which means tt in 3 days, they earned $50k. hmmmm.... maybe it's worth it afterall.. lol ~

MilliOnAiRe

one v simple question to start off with... saving 1k per mth... issit alot?

*

to me, i think it's reasonable. don mention my pay whereby $1k is a big percentage.... for those who earn $5k per mth, $1k is already 20% of their pay. and for those who earn $10k per mth, $1k will be 10%. so... i think saving $1k per month is quite alot le.

*

if 1 mth can save $1k, how long will it take to save $1 million? simple mathematics..

*

$1,000,000/$1,000 = 1000 mths

1000mths/12mths = 83.3333 years

*

so wad does the above calculations say?

*

for an average tom, dick or harry... it will take 83.33 years to save $1 million dollars. in other words, for an average person, it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to have $1 million in one's lifetime.

*

a v sad thought, isnt it?

*

lost all motivations and hope, isn't it?

of cuz, u can expedite the whole process by saving $10k a mth. then everything will be faster by 10x. which means in 8.33 years, u will have the 1st million.

*

but then, how many tom, dick or harry can save $10k per mth? don even say save $10k. how many can actually earn $10k per mth?

*

but yet.. there are soo many millionaires and billionaires out there.. y?? how come when most of the other pple find it impossible to even have 1, they can yet have soo many?

*

maybe tt's wad the common pple refer to as "命". or maybe, like wad my ma said.. those pple did alot of good deeds in their previous lives.. well.. i don know..

*

HopeLess..

im so darn freaking guilty. juz ate long john for dinner. man.. and im starting to snack during work. recently i tend to tabao some food back to office after lunch. this is definitely not a gd habit... so y am i starting it? so ironic lei.. i mean... if lunch eat a v full one, can guarantee last till dinnertime... but then, one shot eat soo much, will gain weight rite? then if eat a moderate lunch, b4 dinnertime will be hungry le, then take snack also will gain weight rite? and wad abt OT? OT till 8pm... 8pm eat dinner is like so late lar... but in between, we cannot go out to eat a proper meal.. so it's like v awkard lor. too hungry to wait till 8 pm, so snack. but snack is not enuff to last the nite, so in the end, after work will still go and eat.. aiyoh.. it's like... everything is so off-timing la! of cuz.. can snack on a fruit... but wad satisfaction is there to snack on a fruit? mite as well don snack rite?

*

juz like tdy.. ate 2 slices of bread for breakfast. then lunchtime ate guotian mince meat noodle... then tabao 2 choco doughnuts back for dinner cuz doing ot. at 4 plus i ate one of the doughnuts. after work at 8pm, i decided i do not want to eat the other doughnut and i left it in the office. but i was hungry lor.. and tt was how i ended up at long john. can anyone see wad i mean? 2 doughnuts meant for dinner, but in the end, i was too hungry and ate something else. this is really wasting my money and spoiling my eating habits. arrhh.. time to do something abt it. i can juz feel myself growing fatter and fatter and fatter... omg...................................... i juz knew i cannot lead a too regular life. when things are regular, it becomes a habit. eventually there will come a day, whereby im not hungry, but when the timing is reached, i must eat. diao.. this is BAD! i must change!!

Food Vs MonEy

alrite.. it's the last day of the month. next wk there's a public holiday. yeah! v happy :) and looking forward to payday. hehe..

*

ok.. tt time i mentioned abt me spending too much on food. let me recall wad were the food i ate.. haii..how guilty. last last fri met up cousin mich and had pepper lunch and xingwang for dinner. then the next day on sat, i went eat pepper lunch again with hubb. and ... we were ushered to a 2-person table after we ordered our food. i was aiming at a bigger table when the manager pointed to the 2-seater table. fine...then the food came, and knw wad? the table was not enuff to put the food cuz we actually ordered 3 sets! the manager tot we only 2 person, but he did not knw tt we ordered 3 sets. in the end also had to change to a bigger table, rite? how duh.. and... it was quite weird lorr.. cuz the hotplate was like so darn big.. one in front of me, and the other in front of hubb. then the 3rd one, we placed it beside us as if someone was sitting there. diao.... and.. it was my idea to get an extra set. and in fact, i was the one who ate most out of the 3rd set. i don knw y lorr.. but im so dead addicted to pepper lunch. o man.. im becoming a glutton myself! when did my appetite become so BIG??!!! me myself also feel paisay when there was one hotplate in front of me and another one beside me and i was eating frm the 2 hotplates at the same time. felt like some big fat greedy ass. i bet the pple ard me must be thinking im such a big-eater. diaoo..

*

then on monday, hubb came met me after work. went to xingwang to eat the french toast and after tt went to this thai food restaurant at far east to eat. it was like 8 plus going to 9pm le lor.. and we were happily munching on cereal prawns, chicken, claypot taufu and wad's not.wah kaoo.. im so amazing rite?!

*

then thurs met up with ah yan and glo and went to this pasta restuarant @ shaw tower. creation's the name of the restaurant. actually quite worth it. $15+ for a soup, drink, pasta and dessert. and the pasta's yummy too. hehe.. but at shaw tower, the one at bugis.. abit the ulu lorr..

*

and then last sat, went tried out manhattan @ plaza sing with hubb. not too bad the food. the platter for 2 was like soo darn big lorr.. both of us cannot finish. and the garlic rice... omg.. simply yummy! think tt's gonna be my next craze? hahaha..

*

and abt 2 wks ago, we went to this new hk cafe at bugis..wang jiao cafe or something. newly opened de... but.. i wont recommend the food lor...

*

yes.. look at the food i ate... and the money i spent on food.. one meal on the average abt $25 ba. not alot... but still.. if $2.50 can make my stomach full, y should i go for $25? but then again.. i've been working hard, wad's with ot, tuition and part-time. so.... not too much to spend a little more on food rite? haii.. don knw y.. i think im getting more and more of a miser. spend little bit also feel the pinch. diaoo..

*

but i really should cut down on food le la. maybe once a wk once to "more-ex-food"? haha.. don care la.. don think too much.. as long as i feel like eating, i'll eat. else it's really miserable if after working soo hard, i still cannot get something tt i want.

*

and tdy.. i had kfc for lunch. budget for food everyday is $5. totally over budget tdy. boo~ i shall save during the wkdays, and spend during the wkend. yes, tt's the way! mon-fri, eat hawker and foodcourt etc. but sat, ok to eat something more ex. ok, tt shall be the way!

SamMi's ShowMi CoNcErT - 13th Oct 2007

the long-awaited sammi's concert.. mm... actually, it wasnt as great as i thought it would be. she sang the cantonese version for almost all the songs. im not familiar with the cantonese version cuz always listening to the chinese version, so unable to enjoy as much. i tot she'll sing in chinese and spk in chinese, since afterall, not everyone can understand canto in s'pore, but she did not. almost throughout she was using canto.
*
and then though we bought the most ex tix.. but we were still sitting quite far away. boohoo.. she came down and shake hand with the audiences lei.. but she did not come to our side. pple bought most ex tic, we also bought the most ex tic... so y the diff in treatment ne?? but there were others who were even further away.. so shall stop complaning.. can only blame ourselves for not buying the tix at the 1st sec it was opened for sale.
*

*the audiences*

*the stage*

*sammi!*

*sun yanzi and sammi*


*she's soo charming*

*
o.. and then there was no encore. i don knw why.. but nobody bothered to shout "encore" either. i think we assumed tt there will definitely be encore, so nobody bothered to waste the breath. but unexpectedly, there was no encore. we were still sitting and waiting when the stage crew came on and remove the music instruments on stage.

*

i will say i was quite disappointed with the concert. it really wasnt as gd as i tot it would be. but i still like sammi nonetheless. she's special. i don like jolin tt kind of bitchy style, neither do i like rainy/cyndi tt kind of yucky sweetie pie. i juz like sammi.. the cool and no-need-to-do-so-many-小动作 style. juz cool lorr... i like!

*and of cuz.... there's me and my hubb *

and....... finally..... my glutton fatty boy with his ultra big burger (ultra expensive too!) bought at the stadium counter
