i have the urge to take photos of all the lunches and food I had lately... been eating so well I feel like a puff from papabread well filled with sweet sinful sugary creamy vanilla!


but i din. i tend to remember to take the photos only when the plates are clean. oh well.


and i had a sudden infactuation with rings... it started from that dark crystal and metal ring i got lately from helen... and i'm beginning to design my own rings!!! gosh... more money spent.


just came back from a movie by the way. regretfully harry potter dunnoe number wat is totally boring. I give it only 0.5. for the 3 hour+ air-con for the same price as other movies.

Prayers

A monk came to the office this morning and they are all praying behind me right now... mainly the bigger bosses. I'm so tempted to take a picture but I dun wanna be disrespectful and rude too.. =P

The monk brought in longans and ferrero rosche... maybe they will be distributed later. I hope I dun smell of joss sticks and temples later since they are just right behind meeeee...

They have been standing behind the monk and praying for quite awhile now...

An hour later - THE POOR MONK HAD BEEN =CHANTING FOR THE 2ND HOUR NOW AND POOR HIM LOST HIS VOICE!!!! the next chanting took extra long coz he had to constantly clear his throat and force his voice out!

that was like three weeks ago...

.... and as i mentioned previously, it was somehow magically filled up =), so that explained why I did not blog for the whole week - I was soooooo Busy!

Monday - 29th June
Mahjonged with QH, XP, ZX and NK till the wee hours of the morning, had an hour or rest before going straight to work from QH's house. The rest headed for the airport with QH's mom, and XP was there to send. How I wished I had taken an off!

I was supposed to have hall production in the evening but I skipped that as I felt spongey and had sore throat. I do not think its the result of the overnight mahjong however, as I do that often back during hall days and I was still strong and good. Must be the working hours... 8am - 5.30pm, thats like way off my normal 'alive' hours!
Tuesday - 30th June
Finally had a scorpio outing! With Khalis and Yina. Khalis needs to dinner halah so we choose Thai Express. It's not exactly halah, but the way they prepare and serve their food is halah methods, just that they serve alcohol. Khalis is fine with it, but I think the next time we'll go back to Swensens again, been a long time since we last ate there.

Being with like minded people is sooo much fun, especially when we dun get to go out together often. Both of them got attached since the last time I saw them, (which was like a year ago!) and so the topic of the day was bfs and gfs. Not surprising, since it was our favourite topic all along. =D
Wednesday - 1st July
Subject registration day!!! Camped at my com since 9.30am hoping everything goes right and getting ready my wushu fingers to rapidly hammer the mouse once the clock strikes 9.59am. 90% hard work and 10% luck got me my stuffs when the screen refreshed at 10.00am. Then its back to bed =P. It's tiring you know!
Went to Little Bali for dinner with DY and WQ. My brother was suppsoed to join but he had to OT so in the end it's just us. I had cramps to I had to miss the cold specialities...which I'm glad I did not decide to order as DY's Avocado drink wasn't pleasing at all. The Hot Tea that I ordered was like the one I had at Coffee Beans & Tea Leaves. Makes me wonder why can's they just put Lipton into the menu since it's a sure pick. MY dinner was good ( Prawns stir fried in Basel Leaves served with rice) and I really liked the balinese , relaxing ambiance. An inspriation for my room revamp. We took a corner and was by ourselves, blocked behind a huge foldable screen, but since it was a corner and 'blocked' we felt kinda missed out by the waiter and waiteress. i was so difficult to catch their attention and make them come to serve us!!! It was a pain in the ass to feel as though we were thrown somewhere and not served. DY had Frangi Pani Pizza or something like that, though it was kinda weird since we were taught since primary school that the flower was supposed to be super poisonous. Fortunately I did not see any Frangi Panis on the plate, (and we are all still safe). It was a OK thin crust pizza, nothing really special about it. Thank you DY for the pics! I've found reviews from other people in case anyone decides to try out this place.

Thursday - 2nd July
There was a UOC GL AGL meeting that involved the GLs and AGLs of my year ( last year) andthe current year. The aim of the meeting is for GLs and AGLs of last year to share their experiences with the current batch. Dinner is at Botak Jones and I had Fish and Chips - will never go wrong with this at Botak Jones. I kinda didn't like the setting though, with trees and birds flying above us, feels as if a worm or some bird shit is gonna drop on us anytime. It was a humid day too and I wished they had picked somewhere air conditioned and more hygenic given all the H1N1 and food poisoning cases around us. Moved to Hong Kong Cafe (Which was air conditioned!) after dinner.

Comment of the day - S is really a pain in the ASS!

Friday - 3rd July
Rushed down to TJAC after work for a vlunteer's meeting. Somehow Kor was cold to me. Maybe coz I was dressed in formals, was in heels and had a blazer.... hmmmx..
Saturday - 4th July
Baking at WQ's house! Please direct yourself to WQ's blog at http://weiqinn.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html the 6th July Entry. Firstly coz I don't have any pictures, secondly coz the whole day was spent with her anyway =P

I was freaking cold and sneezing like Steam Train up there at Marina Barage, I highly suspected that some irresponsible soul passed the H1N1 virus to me! Or maybe its just the wind and my body was weak... hmmm....

Sunday - 5th July
X-trial Challenge. Had only 2 hours of sleep at I had to reach the place by 7 and I was only back home near 4am. Guess that didn't help the flu. It was terrible, having to address 50 over people and be in charge of the stage while having to constantly ensure that no one sees the things that are flowing like a tap out from my nose. I was like the attraction of the day, as hard as I tried not to be in close contact with anybody, everyone in my circle was trying to get as clsoe to me as possible. The might of a 7 days quarentine that can give the army boy a break, working dudes a holiday and school boys off from school. Talking about irresponsible people =P

Slept till the next morning, was like dying.

Monday - 6th July

Finally! After three months of planning, we met! It was not the innitial idea of K-box though - just dinner at Shokudo. Had Tofu Cheesecake and Omelette rice with grilled chicken. My flu had turned into a super blocked nose and a super phlemy throat and I could not taste anything except for that saviour green-tea ice cream that I had for dessert there! It was fabulous, I keep thinking of it everyday! I'm thinking if I can actually go back there tomorrow just for it before hall prod practise!

The next time I go Shokudo again, I'll make sure I order more Nippon stuffs... after all the service charges and +++, the bill turned out to be rather ex for a simple rice with egg and chicken. Could have spent the money on more unique and tastier stuffs, like cheesecake tofu and green tea ice cream!

Tuesday - 7th July

Fever finally hit, after like 3 days. Makes me think if my body is as retard as my head. The doctor gave me a 2-day MC. I guess it's not H1N1 then! Had to miss Hall-production again as my voice was totally gone. I was like " arughaaareeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrroooooarggggarrooo" the whole time.

Wednesday - 8th July

Was better, and I had better be since I'm supposed to meet Shifu for dinner at Kenny Rogers with Shimu anf Stephanie. I dread it when Shifu asked to go out with us. We had to pay and the bill came up to 50bucks each. No more comments here.

Thursday - 9th July

WAS FUN! Went out with shawn and had dinner at Cafe Cartel. Fortunately I could taste much better already and the spagetthi was good! I had meant to ask Shawn to try my food before i poke my fork into it and plauge it with my flu virus but I've forgotten all about it when the plate was placed in front of me =P We talked alot alot.... happy stuffs, sad stuffs....

We had some ice cream at TCC. Here, i'll let the pics tell the story.

My Orange inspired Ice Cream. It was wonderful! Just that I did not like the overly sweet biscult bits.

Shawn and his super long almond nose =P


Which one should I poke my super long spoon into first??!!

A close up
Friday - 10th July
Was fun too!! Wen Zhong took me out for dinner and Salsa Social Night. I was totally amazed at the dance moves named Zouk! And the dance instructor whom I thought was only 25 or something, she is actually 40 already! I was like OMG!!!! She's my inspiration to live young and active!
Saturday - 11th July
Ok my entries are getting shorter as I'm running late for training! Basically it was badminton with my BAT colleagues at Woodlands CC in the late morning and afternoon then lunch at pastamania. Some of them were gambling overnight, so about 4 of them pang sehed -.-. Should have choosen a better date.

Wee Li, our HR head, and I headed to the company chalet in the evening. The company had booked two chalets over the weekends and guess WAD, they had chefs in white hats to do the BBQ!!! It was the first time I've seen such things... should have taken a pic of it! It rained abit but fortunately, for not too long. I also had a game of mahjong.. it was my third time playing and first time playing without someone behind to support me..and guess wad? I won $25!!!!! But it could have been a loss of $95 bucks as I Zha Hu-ed and Xiao Xiang Gong. The rules of the game says that we have to pay all players the maximum winning for a round, which is 20bucks for that game, but my colleagues were nice enough to let us off. We cannot Hu for that round then.

In the end I used that $25 bucks to pay for the cab fare back =P
Sunday - 12th July
Please refer to the Bye Bye post. That was my Sunday =P

OT OT

7.48pm
Today is the latest that I have stayed around in the office... apparently there is some big meeting tomorrow but I'm glad to be helping out. I was kinda awed by the bosses, being able to keep up and stay through the meeting since it started at 2pm. Actually I've kind of expected it. Luckily no outings or dates today....it's just a break now so I'm going back to the meeting soon!

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder....
how come I'm feeling further...

Sunday, July 12, 2009

bye bye

it was just like any other Sunday... sleep till late... then be late for wushu... then dinner at some place with wei zhong and buddy.

Both of us (wei zhong and I) were feeling down, down with flu, stress, and tired. It was sweet of WZ to try to cheer the both of us up.. he took us on a little ride around woodlands and kranji area, and both of us were totally amazed at the hidden treasures that awaited us. We had no idea such a place exist in Singapore! The tranquility, the wind, the sea breeze, the cool grass and the bright lights across the sea... it was amazing to be able to find such a place which was actually only afew kilometers behind my house. I promise myself I'm going back there again, and soon!

As WZ drove off, both wei zhong and I started shouting silly stuffs at the sea.... =P

There is also a bistro near there. I wonder if wei qin and dong yue would wanna try out that place =) The only downside is the place is so inaccessible, someone have to drive to reach the place. But that's the same reason for the peacefulness that one will definitely enjoy there.

http://www.gardenasia.com/ - one of the place we drove into
http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/petals_leaves_bistro/ - I wanna try out the food here! anyone on for it?!

P.S. Thanks for everything buddy!!!



your voice sounded distant, but I know its just me...should I make my waydown now to see you at this hour?
