one before tennis!

about to run out to go for tennis!

had coffee with 2 friends last night. awesome night. slight drizzle…… cool breeze…

While walking around Siglap over the weekend:

Man on bike starts to wave

S waves back smiling

L: “who’s that? “

S: “im not sure.”

L: “but you waved and grinned at him!”

S: “well… apparently he knows me.”

L: “what?? so you dont know the guy?”

S: “… he looks happy?”

L: “@!$!$”

Funny quote that actually applies to some people i know! (depending on which season it is.)

Friends are like roses…you have to look out for the pricks!
-Krista

blunder…. (ala Verizon. :P )

in my quest to get BBBold, i was going on and on in the car to S about the existing plans in Singapore…..

it went somewhere along the line, “….!$#$%@#$^ i mean with 0.32C, then one day 1380 bucks!! wth!!! @#$Q@!$%!#$”

“wait wait… backtrack….. how much again?”

“0.32!!!”

“cents? or dollars?”

“0.32 cents for starhub. and $0.01 for singtel. isnt it the same?”

“0.32 cents is less then 1 cent.”

“ah?”

“so…… 0.32 times 4.6mb is…. about 15 bucks.”

i said 1380 bucks. HAHAHAAH.

it was so classic.

to make sure im not tt big an idiot, i went on youtube and searched for this.

Go and type, “Math for Verizon.”

listen to the tele-convo, it’s so funny. i mean i got it within seconds but the person at Verizon went on for the next 10 minutes or so debating still!

heh.

weekend’s over in a blink of an eye.

weekend is gone!

and i reckon Shelly is STILL in that position at home.

to blackberry or not…..

Phone with plan: 638

Starhub Plan (4mb) : S$31.03

Excess charge: 0.32 cents/kb

Starhub Plan (Unlimited):  S$63.13

Singtel Plan (7mb) : S$40.66

Excess charge: 0.01/2kb

Singtel (Unlimited):  S$63.13

There’s a one-time registration fee at : S$10.70

im sorry, but who gets only 4mb worth of emails in a month?

Just today at 3pm, WORK email, i already got 4.6MB. ONE DAY.

imagine if i have hotmail, gmail in it….. IMAGINE. oh my god.

at o.32/kb (say, the next half i get another 4.6mb)

tt means S$1310.72

TTS DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.

hmm…… imagine tt, if you’re out there to screw with people, just send 100 emails! yikes…

there ARE psycho ppl around….

then might as well pay S$63.13 per month for UNLIMITED data.

BUT, this is ON TOP of your voice data, i think mine is 35 bucks.

which means, AUTOMATICALLY, 100 bucks every month.

siggghhhhh…….. why does looking good ALWAYS comes with a heavy price tag.

blackberry bold is really begging to be picked up. tsk.

why oh why oh why.

Blackberry needs a fan(die-hard) to endorse the phone?

post-script: Nizar just told me that i can choose to only set my phone to ‘preview’, meaning i only see the first 5% or 10% of the email, which is abt 5kbs, so if i want, THEN i can choose to download the entire email.

actually with that 5% thingy, then the unlimited plan looks ok right?

meaning 31.03+35 bucks, which is about 66 bucks every month.

sigghhh…. i shall go ponder some more….

OR, i could just buy the phone and PRETEND i have pushmail activated.

told you there are psycho ppl around…

PPS: IVE BEEN THINKING ABT BLACKBERRY BOLD FOR MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!! S LIKES IT TOO!

quick post

Something i realised, at the end of the day, time is the only present you can give to your loved ones.

but some people fail to provide this over selfish reasons which i will not delve today.

in any case, shalyd’s been updated.

and i feel sluggish today because i spent the bulk of my three days churning out a mighty fine report meant for 4 people.

but it’s out of my way. one more. i have 3 days left.

sigh…. i need a break.

I met interesting people for lunch this past 2 weeks.

no time to share it with anyone, not even S! opportunity never seems to present itself.

i need time to dwell on this first. right now? 70-30, FOR.

adidas Sale!

got invited to shop at adidas sale before the public…. so blessed.

Although I ended up sprawled on the floor with 3 bags FILLED to the brim with adidas stuff.

i saw this awesome bare back top from Originals at only 25 BUCKS! original 92 bucks!

is that a steal or is that a steal? Ended up buying yoga pants (30 bucks) for Sassy, stretchy Comp pants (40) for mum, shirts for S (20 bucks each), tennis skirts TAYLORMADE (35 bucks each), some more tops (25-35 bucks)

WOAH!

CL bought tons of stuff too. We went crazy this morning! (imagine tt, this IS WORK for ME TODAY! )

adidas stuff is aweeeessssooommmeeee……….

we did almost 4 hrs of walking around, i managed to get Dave in too. He went crazy as well!

he was trying boots in the middle of nowhere, i was calling him to ask him whether S will fit a shirt, and then i turn, and he’s gone…. and then 10 mins later we’ll bump into each other again.

so hilarious…

well, so the sale is now open to public.

go to Expo hall 5B! NOW!

Nokia comes with music

ive been given the phone to play with till mid next week. heh. (ok fine, with other reports/interviews stuff that comes along with it. but still, not complaining!)

have i expressed the love for my job?the phone’s pretty bulky though but it’s light….

ok, let’s see… i have a while to play to my heart’s content.

Let’s see how good the phone is…………. dum dum di dum dum

Dear Manager,

Most of the time, when a customer walks in to dine at your restaurant, it is not very nice to bring her for a ‘tour’ to the end of the restaurant and then leave her standing there without directing her to a table.

Also, kindly inform your staff that it is not customary to clear plates on the table (unless permission’s been granted) when there is still food on it.

thanks,

LAL

service is beyond horrid!(and the food is SO expensive.)

Joe Ann and i had the shock of our lives last night. we were ‘abandoned’ twice, we just stood there like fools. the best part is, the manager was directing us when we first walked in!

a staff cleared plates on our table eventhough we CLEARLY have not finished it.

just things like these amazes me. and we’re in an English speaking community (or so i think), so why is it that when we placed our orders, we had to repeat twice and even then the staff still  caught no ball, we ended up jabbing our fingers on the menu.

oh my god! the horror!

never coming back there again. and such a pity since the place oversees the beautiful river and when the sun sets, it’s so magical….

ahhh…. beauty comes with a price.

ok. im going to get bubble tea and meddle with nokia 5880.

and dinner with grams, mum, ana, sassy and bibik!

the weekend’s here!

observed: On tennis 2 nights ago, i saw S rallied with Dave. When he plays with me, i think he goes a bit soft (ok, i admit, im very angsty on court. and i curse alot. too much actually. and i whine. oh wait, do i do that OFF court too? ) but with Dave, his shots were so monstrous. And i get all jumpy when i see his awesome swings and the sound when the ball hits the racket. oh, and when he runs and smashes the ball to the other side with that grunt.

mmmmmm….. yuuummmmyyyy.

PS: yes, he likes my after-tennis smell. cause he gave me a  peck (albeit a quick one) and massaged my sore shoulders.

mushy mushy couple things. what is going on with me!

i love my cat part 5346436

she likes to cuddle on S’s laps instead of mine. i think i move too much.

S can remain still for long periods of time. i get the pins and needles after 5 mins.

she sometimes thinks she’s flying….hiiigghhh..

she loves to cuddle especially when S is busy on the laptop…

or when he’s reading the papers…

Another for Tuesday!

Over friday and saturday,  spent testing my creative skills, which i sometimes think i lack TREMENDOUSLY. hahaha.

times like these i wished my mum was around to help me!

it was so funny cause there i was bending over the trays and nearly destroying the gifts, i had no idea how to make a bike stand still!

i tried blue tack, i tried double sided tape, everything! u name it. i was this close to puncturing the tyre with a pin but that would make a whole load of unhappy people……….

Tuesday catch up!

Riled with boredom, I found a nifty way to save money!:)

send sms via online!

I know it has been existing for god knows how long but it kills 2 birds with one stone!

1) Save money

2) Pretend you’re doing work on your comp.

Sniffles sniffles. On Sunday, I felt like I’ve been hit by a big yellow truck. My tummy was hurting and my nose felt like it had been banged up by a guy in Bombay.

Yikes! After 2 panadols, I was ever optimistic to drive out and pick S. flight was delayed. for so long.

But I brought along my handy dandy Sudoku book. (im hooked…. again!) Monday was not better.

Got an mc, S and shelly picked me up from work. such pure joys to see the 2 current loves of my life. Current cause you know, things are fluid these days. Ha ha ha. esp when shelly scratches me or scratches my bag (I cried when she clawed her way into my Rabeanco bag.)

Made a quick trip to the vet, Shelly thinks she’s a gangsta, been fighting with the neighborhood cats. her tail is infected by a nasty bite. We de-wormed her also. She was so well –behaved during the entire thing!

I should really take a photo of her cause the vet had to shave her tail so now she’s walking around like her tail’s half chewed.

We spent the rest of the days watching Shelly sleep, according to S she’s sleeping the equivalent number of days that S abandoned her for France. Heh. She must be tired frm being a cat. For someone who’s been sleeping for most parts of the day, she was really angsty though.

And we finally got back on track with House! Pretty drugged up though.

Had Steak for dinner! Nothing to scream about actually, ive tasted better. Although the mushroom soup’s yummy…

Im typing this out groggily too.

Oh, and exchanging dinner plans with S on the free online service thingy.

Im such a free-loader these days.

Sushi? Sweet potato leaves? Swensons? I am starving!

Finally, quote for the day!

“it’s an awful thing to live in darkness. Unable to see what others take for granted. But if we are lucky, the darkness lifts. And we can finally see the secret sacrifices made by our mothers, the surprising progress made by our other halves. Or the unintended consequences of our own actions. But there are those who prefer the darkness because there, they see only what they choose to see.” –Mary Alice

Have you ever thought how safe your secrets are with someone? Hmm….. because I think mine aren’t really being guarded with an M16.

Post note: S said yes to Sushi! Awesome blossom.

babies/photoshoot/more babies!

CP and i were so amazed by the photographer’s place/studio!

it’s off pasir panjang and the lift is so unique, i dont you think you can find it elsewhere in Singapore. it goes up on a ‘hill’ and it stops directly at the doorstep of the house.

how awesome is that? so so amazing.

and coooooooollllll…

here are some pics from the photoshoot.

heh. don’t ask.

the baby, Quince is SO CUTE. i wanted to kidnap him. but he kept slathering his saliva all over me.

Hopefully the other pics will turn out beautifully in the magazine!

fingers crossed!
