Long Weekend!!

It has been like 2 months before i get to enjoy this long weekend (inclusive of Tuesday which i officially took leave which made it 4 days of rest) Have been having a fulfilling weekend, activities filled with dinning, kite flying & cruising! Just a small update of all the activities we did:

Friday night:- Destination: Sengkang kite flying

Dear came to pick me up & we went to meet the cute couple for kite flying with Mac as our dinner. After 2 hrs later, we decided to call off the day due to no wind.

Saturday night:- Destination: Downtown east cinema

Movie: The last airblender @ 2.05am

Trying to catch this movie for 12 midnight but apparently it have been sold out due to long weekend with lots of plpe catching show. So, we decided to watch 2.05am instead. Went to pastamania for our dinner & head out to another location for kite flying session.. yes, AGAIN!!! lolx. i think the 2 guys just simply hooked on this hobby which lead to both grace & me at times will shake our head. In the end, the kite does not fly up for more than 30 mins & the rest of the time was chatting all the way long before we decided to head to Mac cafe for our coffee before the show starts.

This movie is quite nice & i actually looking forward to their book 2. As usual, my dearest always slipped into his 'small nap' after 20 mins show start & started to wake up before that 20 mins ending. Haha!! Well, at least he did make the effort for accompanying me for movie even if he do not really like it. Thank for your effort, dear!! Really appreciate!! Love ya! Muacks! After the movie we decided to call it a day & head back home to rest for our next day activities.

Sunday :- Destination: Jurong East, Vivo, West coast Park, Esplanade, Marina Sq

We woke up at 11am. Went to meet them at Jurong East as Mr. Seng has appointment for haircut so do dear too before he is back for his reservist. I love the new hair cut of the guys, 1 look like jap guy while dear with his new stunning sporty hairstyle which he loves it too. After done with all these, we headed to vivo starhub to replaced grace's simcard & what's next.. haha!! yeah West coast park fly kite again.

The weather is so damn hot, thought getting an ice cream cone for dear in the end was being scolded for being stupid cos the ice melts when it reached him & oh gosh my hands are so full with ice-cream melts. Give up manz.. lolx. i know he just teasing me only!! =/ Grace & I were unable to tolerate the heatness which we decided to hide in Mac cafe to enjoy the air conditional, slipping our blended coffee till the guys were ready to wrap up for our next location, Pot Art @ Esplanade.

Went to Pot Art before, the buffet was nice, price reasonable due to promo & the main thing there is free flow of chilly crab. That's the impression i had when i went with my girlfriends during weekday. Apparently, we went back to patronise again. Everything back to bad services, food not served, everything lack here & there. Seafood not fresh. Everything so different from the first time i ate. Disappointing, i decided to bill & leave. Conclusion: Last time & no more coming back!!!

Worse still, my flat spoilt & i have to walk over to MS to get 1 before the shop close. Well, i can only say it's pro: cos i can change new flat, cons: i need to waste money moreover walking over from Esplanade to MS to get it! That's it. we called it for the day & meeting agenda next day!! No need to say you guys should know what again.

Monday (Happy birthday Singapore) :- Destination: West Coast Park, Nicoll highway

Was planning to watch NDP fireworks at Duxton but apparently heard there is a need to ballot for the tickets which was already sold out for long. So we decided to head to Marina barrage how to catch a glimpse of it. Luck do play a part. When we reached Nicoll highway expressway at 8.15pm, the traffic was moving slowly & suddenly came to a stop. Next thing, we heard *boom* & saw fireworks displaying on the sky. Wow!!! so sparklers were so beautiful! The most exciting & lovely is we were sitting inside Mr.Seng's car enjoying the whole thing without the need to squeeze with people or whatever! The whole thing last for a bout 10-15 mins. After the whole thing, we decided to call it a day as tomorrow we still need to crawl ourselves out to work.

All i can say this weekend is so fulfilling & i love it so much. Be it the fireworks or the sun tanning. Everything plan so nicely & enjoyable!!

Happy birthday Singapore!!!

Dinner + The Era world 2010 concert Jay Chou

1 word to describe my mood today. HAPPY!! This is the 3rd time i attending his concert. Thank god that i managed to buy the ticket despite 3 days of 30 mins sold out sales. That's crazy, isn't it??

Jay never ever disappoint me in every of his concert he had in SG. Before attending the concert, dear, me & our friends went to Kallengleisure to have our Nihon japanese food for dinner. As usual, i will order my favourite soupy food:

Sabu Sabu - Pork

After our spread, we had our chat for another 30 mins before walking over to my destination to meet my colleagues. We went in at 7.30pm & went straight to the Starspass lounge to have a R&R before moving to our seat. Definitely, not to forget to have a group picture * cheers*

Yvonne's friend ( Serene), Yvonne & ME!

These are the things that were given to us during his concert.

The 2010 ERA World of Jay Chou

The balloon clapping when we will " bong bong" all the way through his concert.

Not to forget me taking a pic with my super idol before the concert start.

The whole concert was very entertaining with special guest like Lara, Cindy, Gary and Lang Hua brothers. We were all jumping, dancing & singing our way out till the end of the concert. Jay is always full of surprises for everyone of us here in the indoor stadium which all of us left the place with a big smile showing on their face
Here are some glimpse:

Jay, hope you will be back to SG to have another concert again. Hope next time round i will be there to shake ur hands.. Awwww!!!

Tone up!!

I still remember the last time i wore my swimsuit which is 10 yrs ago & my jogging shoe which is during 2009 Standard chartered Maronthon.

After all these years, i decided to go back exercising after dear commented about my weight & figure. I always look at the mirror & asked myself. Am i that really that fat? Well, exercise ever come across my mind every now & then but was unable to take action on it due to my lazyness, tiredness and most importantly determination. I totally admit all these.

In order to push myself 1 step further, I have bought a swimsuit since i have thrown away mine long ago & decided to swim on the following week. First attempt, swam 10 laps. Feeling so exhausted & breatheless, this indicated the impact of long period non exercising which leads to my stamina dropped as compared when i was in my teenage year ( Eca: swimming & life saving). This made me more determinte to overcome these more. Indeed, after 2 frequent session, i slowly increased my swimming laps from 10 to 12, 12 to 15 laps. I felt so energetic & toned & fulfilling.

Not untill when i attended a relative's wedding dinner recently. My aunt who is seated beside me in commented that i have grown fat. I was feel weird cos i have been excersing much recently. It was the arms that make me looked fat. Big, fat, flabby arms!! Actually, she is not the only one who comment on this. My colleague also did told me the same thing too.

I started to reflect on this. Maybe becos swimming lead to all these flabby thing going on. Instead of becoming tone, resulted in otherwise. ARGH!!! I decided to hit the track again. Started myjogging just now & managed to ran 3km which i, myself was amazed by my stamina. I did not have any cramps or show of tiredness or breatheless except for the sweat and heatness inside me. Maybe the swimming did indeed help me much on my heart pumping. =P Great!!

My determination grow for more & i have decided to run often as i can. =)

Overall, i still may prefer swimming more than jogging cos i do not love sweating but to achieve my result i am willing to forgo this mindset and go for it.

Hopefully, lazyness will not come to me & more determination in order to fulfill what i want.

加油！

New start for the month June10

It has been 4 months since i updated my last post. Have been quite busy with my work, problems which occurred during these months. I was quite surprise to find that there 191 hits into my blog these few months. Never did i know someone out there are reading my blog. Thanks to all my dear friends out there who have read my blog to update on my life happenings =)

Well, work have always been exhausted for me for the past few months. While trying to get it all over, I have been trying my best to strive a work-life balanced. Things have moved on quite smoothly except for a few hiccups which i will always tend to get over or look at the other angle to overcome it.

I am happy that there is a app "iBlogger" which allow me to blog anytime, but i do really hope that they will further enhance some function such as allowing posting of pic instead of current simple new posting or updating of post. =)

Life have been quite peaceful and enjoyable for the past 1.5 months. Keep it up Jas!!! Gambanteh!

P/s: I will try to update my blog as frequent as possible. =)

Insomina night

I never have this problem for a past few months but now is coming back again. Now, is 3.22am. I am still staring at my monitor screen & writing blog.

Is it due to a presentation which i need to do today morning? When i received a call from my boss on regards to this, i was a bit worried. Not becos of not knowing my work but is the fact that my new big boss & lots of others will be involve. I scared i will tongue tied when i start to present. Understand from my colleague that my new big boss is a questionnaire lady which expect u to know everything u do at yr fingertips. A lot of people assure me that i will do a gd job while others are afraid that i will be unable to handle the questionnaire.

Cos the work that i do is not everyone could take a glance at it & understand straight away. Sad to say this is apparently not what i suppose to take but in the end it has become my baby. I actually did not really understand much until 1 yr plus of doing & understanding.

Have not been doing presentation for 3 yrss. In order to prepare myself for the worse, i went to look for my ex boss which has been transferred out to understand more just in case. Knocked off at nearly 11pm to get a better rest in order to have a clearer & better mind for tomorrow. But i am still unable to get to sleep. Ex boss told me to try my best to answer but if i really got things unable to explain & gotten arrow on it just endure!!

Whenever i close my eyes, my brain will start to think of the presentation tomorrow. I not really sure is it becos i am over worried or stress over this. I hope after finished up this, i will be able to meet zhou gong...

Tomorrow, will determine if it will be victory win or condemning for me. I am going to try to have a rest now. hopefully i am able to keep y mind clear from everything

Hope my presentation will run smoothly as planned cos this will affect how people reflect of me & future job staking..

Wish me luck!

Lost of a lunch kakis~

One of my lunch kakis told me that she has tendered her resignation letter today. I have known this all along but is still a bit to sad to know she is leaving us.

I am happy & envious that she is moving out for a better prospect. This keep me prompting me when miracles will happen to me? Getting an offer of job at this economy time is not easy. Hopefully, god will lead me by creating a path or a hint to me?

In the meantime, i am sad abt it cos i will be losing a nice kakis soon. I will no longer be able to find someone like her to squabble with me, angry with me, giving me opinion & advices. No one to gossip, sharing my anger etc...

She may looked a bit xiao nu ren but then she is always being there to comment with a open heart. Oh gosh! I think i will miss you deeply esp. yr auntie nagging which i am still be able to hear from u for only a mth =(

Gal, you know who you are. I wish you all the best endeavours for your new job. Do not forget us when u leave. Stay in contact through sms & msn. Keep us update!!

Lastly, remember to pray for us for better luck & miracles. Cos we need that a lot!!!! =p

A day office offsite

Monday. Is a day when i will feel blues always due to over outside activities esp. with CNY ard the corner over the weekend. Apparently, i do not feel it in this way today. WHY?? Normally, i will be at my office typing away but not today cos i am out of office for off site @ Orchid Country Club for my dept team building after 1 mth reorg.

Whole day session was mostly games & food. Games are more of an interaction & ice breaking session with my new fellow team mates & bosses. Enjoyed most of it since i am dealing with people but not figures which i am a bit sick of it. You get to see people who are gentlemen, shy, introvert, friendly & also split personality. Things still went on smoothly although i am in the same team as my VP. It's kind of gd experience for me to know more of the other fellow colleagues from other section.

As for the food, summarize as below:

Breakfast: Soon kwek serving with coffee & tea.
Morning tea break: Soon kwek, samosa serving with coffee, tea & plain water (hot & cold)
Lunch: Buffet ( Understand from my colleague that the soup taste bland which was then replaced to mushroom soup & honeydew sago tasting a bit weird due to the coconut.) Overall, food was bad.
Afternoon tea break: Sandwiches, spring roll serving with coffee & tea.

The best part of all is that we get to go home early at 5pm instead of usual knock off time.

Just hoping the interaction will pull us in & communicate better for the sake of the future work. =)

Communication & Respect

COMMUNICATION can be perceived better as a two-way process in which there is an exchange & progression of thoughts, feelings or ideas(energy) towards a mutually accepted goal or direction (information).

As i read the sentence, it linked me to some thing which happened today @ the office. A lot of problem are being mistaken due to miscommunication or no communication at all.

Being a straight forward person, a lot of people could not take the things I have said unless u are the same character as me. Some people will feel that i am being defensive while others may feel that i was just being offending or having attitude to them. Regardless of what, I always feel that communication should always be part of your life every min & seconds. Cos this is the way how thoughts & feelings could be expressed.

Politics, bias always happened everywhere around us. Sometimes I just feel how come things will turned out in this way but not talk it out openly. Some people take things easy while others feel so unappreciative at all.

RESPECT can be a specific feeling of regard for the actual qualities of the one respected. It can also be a conduct in accord with a specific ethic of respect.

I always respect people who show respect to others rather than taking advantage of it. This is a specific feeling of regard which should be gain using the correct way instead of gaining it in another kind of channel.

Frankly speaking, I do not show respect to people who take me for granted or hurt me in some ways, showing me things which should not be the way & I hate when people throw temper at me just becos they are having mood -swing on the day. Cos I do not deserve these if u are unable to control urself emotionally.

I was being indicated as a chilli padi who give attitude to people. Well, i only reflect according to the situation but not the person. Treating things fairly is better than getting things away just becos of the biasing.

Do not ask me why i have such thoughts cos it just happened in this way.

1st 2010 resolution of mine being completed

iPhone! iPhone! iPhone! No matter when or where, you will see everyone have 1 on their hands busy clicking, playing, surfing.

Ever since StarHub & M1 joining their competitive company in the iPhone sales, every one start to have a hoo ha on it! Lining up for more than 3 hrs just wanna get a hand on the handset which everyone longs for.

I. As a normal human being, also wish to own 1 for myself too but due to some constraints, i am unable to do so. Sad. =( Dear know that i want 1 badly, so he decided to early re contract his plan to get 1 as a birthday present for me.. OMG~! So sweet, isn't it?

We headed down to IMM to purchase my phone & dear also gotten one for himself from those outside dealer at TPY. In exchange for these, we sold our hand phone ( coz we did not need 2 phone at one time).

We met our friends up for dinner, do some shopping & headed home from our friend's house at Punggol. By the time we reached home that was ard 2am. Feeling exhausted but dear just want me to help him with his phone setup.

In the end, I slept at 4.30am & feel so exhausted & tired when i woke up today for work. Just 2.5 hrs of sleep.. OMG!

Overall, i am still happy to be the owner of my iPhone. =)

Last time gathering lunch buffet @ Carlton Hotel

Every year after the year-end closing, my boss will give us a treat to buffet lunch. We had our lunch early this year due to re-org & my boss is transferring to another section. We settled our buffet at Carlton Hotel with the inventory colleagues. The food were fabulous. The atmosphere were good & most of all we enjoyed ourselves when we filled the whole session with laughter & jokes.

We seated together not as colleagues but as friends even with our bosses as we chatted & laugh in all our conversation. The feeling was relaxed & unofficial.

Look @ the oyster!! OMG!! & i have down with 6 of this. =p

My Sashimi set..

Enjoying my foodie!!!

Our last group pic

Boss, thanks for your guidance, tolerance, shielding wall for me for the past 2 yrs. I will miss you & take your advice seriously.

P/s: Thanks for the buffet lunch treat. We enjoyed ourselves very much!

Lucas Yeo

Today is a hot & sunny day. When i walked out of the air con area, i feel so uncomfortable & irritated. Accompanied dear & friends to Watch Arena to check out Rolex design & prices. Either the price of the watch is too steep else design were not the one we are looking for.

We headed to Pasir ris farm mart to check out for Yorkie. We saw 1 male yorkie at one of the mart. He was cute & small. All of us love it at first sight! My gf got the urge to get it but unfortunately he got ringworm in his body. Ringworm is a disease which can be cure after consistent apply of medication daily but it will come back if cleanliness of the dog is not taken care properly. And worse it will spread to human beings. She put a halt on it & decided to look around before making final decision. Cos Yorkie is not cheap at all lor! need more consideration..

We decided to head to one of the pet shop at Thomson & saw a tiny little 3 mth old boy which capture our attention. After much interaction & monitoring, my gf decide to get him.. And there, they have a new member in their Yeo's family.

Isn't he cute????

New hairstyle for 2010..

OMG! My perms are all in the messed. Unable to tolerate of all the messy & unnatural style. I decided to go back to my hairstylist to get it straighten. I am totally regret of getting the perms cos it made my dry look & feel dry. Argh!!

Made an appointment & went down to the salon at 1pm. May, my hairstylist for 8 yrs shake her head & say " Why like that??" I just gave a smile & replied," Maybe i not fated with perm stuff??"

Finally, my hair is back to neat, silky, straight hair after 5 hrs of stay at the salon. My bf was waiting at his home for me & nagged why i need so many hrs to get my hair done.. Well, my dear you cannot blamed me cos your dear have lots of hair which was why more hrs are needed.

My new silky straight hair after 5 hrs!!
