I Heart Zee Avi!

I bought her CD a month back and i oh so love her voice! Bitter Heart’s been playing non stop on radio now but i like this fun one… cracks me up everytime i hear it.

one more time: I heart Zee Avi!

before work kills my mood tmr.

Are you Men’s Health Enough?

Got invited to see the finals of Are you Men’s Health enough.

Hahaha, truth to be told, the tag line should have been enough to warn me, or us girls.

“We are not looking for models, we are looking for role models.”

HAHAHAHA.

cannot make it. There was only one guy that i consider man enough.

Last contestant, number 10.

I found a photo, feast your eyes:

I didnt stay throughout but i think the winner was the canadian dentist.

look who i met!

Jonathan!! we were squealing from across the dance floor!

feature writer with asian geographic. You’ve done well! mighty proud of you!

We ended up at Indochine but my eyes cldnt take it anymore. so oldddd….. eeck.

Guess who went boarding???

Hello!!!

stuffed myself with chicken rice and a whole basket of wanton after with S.

and then dad bought singkong from Batam so guess who ate more after that?

It is of little wonder why i can’t fit all my clothes from last year.

the good news is, i get to buy new ones!

I just started my Saturday!

I spent my Saturday sending dad’s baby to the workshop. I think he’s not happy i scratched his new car. eeck.

but really, which is more impt? Daughter’s safety or tiny weeny meeny scratch on Merc’s rims? I kept telling him i love him so so so so much. Dont think it worked.

When i have to go incur his wrath, ill put on my puppy face.

note: Puppy face is an expression you put on to get things your way. Most of the time when you use it correctly, it works. Sometimes not, which leaves you that awkward few seconds to change it quickly  to another one that works.

And then i spent the other half sleeping. I only woke up at 11 to go have dinner with S at Newton. Plan to go to the arts thingy at Bugis failed cause it was raining and i think the whole event ended earlier.

Daddy’s birthday! stuffed with so much food i thought i was going to die frm overeating. as always…

MJ Tribute @ Zirca

Got an invite to the tribute. I tell you, the public queue was oh so long! i wouldnt have bothered really.

even after i left, the queue was still looooonnngggg!

hate goodbyes

Im going to miss her.

im already missing her.

we were such sms buddies. meh.

I really should be sleeping cause i need to be up in a few hours to go boarding!

god, it has been so long, i am oh so excited.

and i am certainly not looking forward to Monday cause i have tons of deadlines to meet s0 guess who will be flooded with work again?

siggghhhhhh….. i wanna go on a holiday!

PS: if you must know, Shelly is really cranky these past few days. her whinings are really starting to annoy me!

note to s: FEED HER MORE FISH. AND STOP GIVING HER THE CHICKEN BISCUITS!

Lyd

Weekend’s almost over. :(

Hello from Hard Rock!

It’s been eons since i last stepped into this place, if i can recall i think the last was with the starbucks crew watching Kumar in action.

hmmm…..

i think the place is overpriced as with all other places. HA HA.

Aurick is such a big boy now it’s crazy! i tell you babies grow up faster than you can say i made a baby!

Daddy enjoying the attention on stage. heh.

Mio just flew off to Japan today and she was busy smsing me telling me what we’re both gonna wear (with Yuki) for d and s’s wedding.

She’s gonna hunt for a piece for me in Japan! :):)

i just pray it’s all covered up because i stood in front of the mirror yesterday and i look like a sack of potatoes.

And S has clearly been desensitized because he pinched my roll of fat and excitedly exclaimed, “muffin top!”

he thinks it’s funny.

Tennis

We had a good round of tennies yesterday although i still cannot slice. i cant even hit the bloody ball! i wonder how murray/venus can do it so easily.

Serena won! unbelivable. i was banging my hopes on Venus. but she gives me hope. At least ‘big’ girls still can play well on court.

Cat Show

Went to a cat show @ simei yesterday. I want to have a Bengal. It is oh so pretty. Can i dye Shelly those colours?

Robinsons sale

Last day today at Expo! go! bought knickers from La Senza. cheap cheap!

stuff from Esprit, Nine West, Fcuk. Guess who had to buy new pillows because the pillows he attempted to sun on the roof deck got drenched in rain water?

Past week @ work

It’s been such a painful week if you must know. It is filled with you know what and you know who. It is so frustrating!

Daddy’s dinner

i have an hour left to go get ready before we whisk daddy off for dinner!

giving face

People don’t do this very often anymore do they? almost saddening.

Run

Dawn and i are running for a race we have not registered for! i have unsuccessfully persuaded Sha to join us. She said she will stand on the side to pass us water. -.-

SHA! RUN WITH US.

Vicious Cycle

How do you get out of a vicious cycle? anyone knows how to without killing someone? Let me know.

In need of a holiday

Guess who misses the fishies underwater?

which reminds me, i have still not uploaded the HK pics!

but right now, im too busy hunting for a dinner place.

Talk soon!

PS: Ayam penyet at Bugis doesnt come with rice. You need to add additional 60 cents on top of the 5.50 if you want rice. what? that’s like ordering Fishball noodles with noodles! or chicken rice with rice! or Kebab with pita! ok, u get me. but seriouslllyyyyy………

5 in the morning

i can’t sleep. ugh. mind’s too occupied. bleargh.

colin made it to the news and im so so proud of him. Although having ppl i havent heard from for AGES text me after seeing my picture is pretty startling. hahahaha. 

let me go find the expat magazine with my face on it as well. i dont know where i chucked it………

P2 Dictation

“The white cuckatoo likes it steamy and hot.”

do you?

Samuel’s bday @ Hard Rock

Went to Hard Rock on Wednesday. i have to say i like the female singer that night! she’s goooodddd…

Hong Kong

which reminds me, ive yet to upload pics for this.

Brewerks

With Dawn on Monday. Chairs were oh so not comfy. me no liikkkeeeyyy.Guess who’s joining a run in september??

hungry

me. sobbbsss….

Team.

A team comprises a group of people or animals linked in a common purpose. Teams are especially appropriate for conducting tasks that are high in complexity and have many interdependent subtasks.

A group in itself does not necessarily constitute a team. Teams normally have members with complementary skills and generate synergy through a coordinated effort which allows each member to maximize his or her strengths and minimize his or her weaknesses.

Clearly there is none in my sight.

Can’t wait for the weekend to release all these pent up frustrations!

i am sitting on my bed exploring options on how to inflict maximum pain without leaving behind a single fingerprint.
this is not good.

i shall go burn my essential oils and massage my throbbing temples.

in the words of Serena Williams: Ai Yi Yi!

PS: but if you have any idea at all, feel free to let me know.

3 things:

1. maximum pain
2. no evidence behind
3. the longer the duration, the better.

arigato kozaimas.

Wimble

Tomorrow’s matches are hot.

Williams vs Ivanovic

Verdasco vs Karlovic

the latter’s going to be very interesting. Karlovic is 2.08m TALL against my 1.88m.

no prizes for guessing who im rooting for.

Morning Shenanigans

Every morning after breakfast, Sassy and I will spot a father with a baby strapped in front of him (baby Bjorn) walking pass mum’s shop. And we both melt. What a nice sight! He’s probably off to drop his little bundle of joy to a nearby care centre before going to work. Sigh, the sacrifices parents do for us kids!

After breakfast this morning, dad was humming to Boom Boom Pow next to me. Tickled my heart silly.

PS: I spoke to a Fitness Instructor today. HE TURNED ME DOWN. *GASP* ok, not quite that drama. But he said, “ I think you should try running 4 -5 times a week first. Start with 20 minutes, go to the gym and start on Steps, Row Machine and Bicycle. After 3 months, ill (attempt) to tone you up.”

Do you think I can be that motivated and determined?

My Exercise Regime?

Tennis once/twice a week (more like stress reliever….. WHACK!)

Hot Yoga (once a week…. TRY. )

Drive to Changi Village, walk up the stairs, ta pao nasi lemak/ayam penyet/oyster egg

Climb up the 3 flights of stairs to play with Shelly at home.

5 mins morning walk on the Rochor exit/flyover to office.

Don’t judge.

the swallowed Ls.

have you met people who cannot pronounce words properly? They can’t speak to save their lives!

I have my own english police and he annoys me to no end. you know who you are spidey. -.-(Once in school, i pronounced Men as Murn. and up till today, he never fails to remind me. -;-)

getting back on track, have you met people who cannot pronounce words like:

1. Halal (haaa-laaaa – i love this, this is the best! haaa-laa. is this haaaa-laaa? heh. i use it ALL the time and crack myself up silly.)
2. People (peee-puh – all the pee-puh in this world must eat haaa-laaaa food. HA HA HA.)
3. Ball (boar – of course you have to say it without the ‘r’, swallow it in! it’s the trend!)
4. Doll (door – swallow!)
5. Call (caw. caaawwww police ah! caaawww! quickly caaawww! heh. classic)
6. Children (chuu-lurn – chuuu-lurn ah, come and eat eat.)

which brings me to my second point, parents who add an extra word when speaking to their chuu-lurn.

“come and eat-eat, food still hot-hot.”

“what is that? shoe-shoe!”

“this is your nose-nose!”

“what is that on the river? duck-duck!”

“baby want to sleep-sleep?”

“the sun-sun so hot-hot, mummy melting-melting. “

WASSUP parents!

-.-

SPEAK properly.

Ok, i shall go down and get coffee-coffee from downstairs but the sun is so hot hot, i can die-die.

how how?

Do you know that unlike Coffee Bean, Starbucks not haaaaa-laaaaaaa?

Sisters’ Dream

I honestly think the past week just flew by. Again i had to endure many childish adults who are really just asking for it.

im thhhhiiiisssssss close to snapping but im nice that way. ha ha.

why is the world filled with so many bitter people! i cannot comprehend.

i played tennis twice this week! tried to slice but obviously that failed miserably. S kept screaming, “Chop Tree! Chop Tree!”

and everytime he yells that in court, i literally picture a tree trunk in front of me im about to chop. it’s all too comical.

Course 92 6th anniversary

Food at Crowne Plaza and post dinner at East Coast. food was so-so this time round.

Sisters’ Dream

There’s this place off Bedok that sells knick knacks and furniture stuff. S’s been wanting to go eversince our last 2 attempts failed (the shop operates on their own kind of business hours. can never comprehend.)

Anyyywwwaaayyss, we were casually browsing through their stuff and there was this friendly cat saying hullo!

such a manja kuching! ((:

she guards the front of the shop with her life. HA HA. The owner told us she sometimes lies down on this table with other nonsense on it, making herself one of the centrepiece. so cuuuuttteeee.

Random house pics

Shelly- scared of the new cat model we bought from Sisters’ Dream. heh.

Shelly smelling the shop’s cat on me. dont think she was too impressed i was socialising with other felines outside.

new spot! under the stairs.next to our 5 dollars red basket from Sungei Road.

My candle/aromatheraphy/diffuser alter. Bought the aromatheraphy set from Body Shop and the scent from Bangkok. the aromatherapy set suuccckks, too many gaping holes that the thing doesnt get heated up evenly.

bleh. shall go scout for a new one.maybe in hong kong. dum di dum dum.

Waraku Pasta

We tried that tonight at the airport. i ordered the wrong things. in fact, come to think abt it, i ALWAYS order the wrong things, it’s no wonder my dad thinks im not adventurous enough. my ‘adventures’ always turn out to be misadventures!

S pasta was really good, i had a scoop but he stuffed the rest of the entire plate himself, which left me with cheese tofu and cheese rice. i felt so sick after. why oh why.

Shall bring Dawn here one day. dawn? how? onz? and stop calling me in the middle of work asking me how i brush my teeth. ha ha ha.

i honestly dont think i was paying any attention to you. my answers might be unreliable!

running out of new places to eat.

any recommendations?

bringing home work

i try not to bring work home. I want to practice the no work at home policy. and so far so good, i dont remember the last time that happened. i finish everything up at work. if i have to stay in then so be it.

Because im flying off next week, i had to resort bringing work home.

I am grouchy. work now is at the back of my mind and i can foresee my weekend burned.

now my tummy’’s aching cause im oh so hungry!

i shall go blog about desaru on shalyd.

you guys have a fantastic weekend!
