whole lot on my mind

full of surprises

16 june '09 was probably a day where i woke up on the wrong side of the bed. was 15 mins late for work even though i left house at the usual timing. delayed myself quite a bit at orchard mrt control cos i was fanatically searching for my ezlink card inside my bag. was outside the shop then realized that i don't have the shop key with me. didn't know if i had lost it or what. contractors were supposed to do some work at shop and they were waiting outside with their tools and ladder. had to get erika to get the other key from tet and we opened shop at 11am. apologized many times. bosses all came down and deadline to return stocks was brought forward. given a 4 hour time frame to do what had seemed impossible. drove me into such a frenzy that i took lunch at 6pm. right before i left shop for break, i did a half somersault. saw a cockroach crawling and in my anxiety to kill it, i stepped, slipped and landed on my butt and hands. had to work overtime and was not allowed to claim cab fare. almost trapped in wisma. sprinted all the way from wisma to orchard mrt just to catch the last train and think we caught the attention of many people. it was a day of much unpleasant surprises overall.

17 june : a trip to jb
meet up with ah yi at city square. haven't seen her and my 2 cousins for almost 3 years. so unbelieveable. and so we had our much postponed meetup. had lunch, tea break, few rounds of shopping and we took neo prints. haven't taken for sucha long time. then me and mummy went for body massage. enjoyed it so much and my muscles feel so much more relaxed after that. got it at a reasonable price too. more visits will definitely come.. =)

words of wisdom

hello wisma once again!

2008 v 2009.
while things on the surface looks pretty much the same, we know that it isn't.
being put the test once again whilst being transferred back to wisma.
not only do i have to deal with the challenges at work, those vivid memories that i had once built with those close ones will no doubt drift back.

i hope i can do it.

took some photos during last day at tampines. joy and maricel bought me a pair of earrings. touched =)

explore singapore

first day of gss. headed to town with mel for shopping. but we didn't shop much as we had too many things to do on our list. after a few rounds of malls-hopping, we went for yoga class at pacific plaza. first time attending class together and i would say that it was enjoyable, fun and hilarious. hilarious in such a way that we couldn't stretch in the way as we were instructed to. ended up in soft giggles. for mel, it was her first time trying yoga. for me, its a long long time since i went for classes. but nonetheless, it was fun.



































after yoga was dinner with xuan and yenting at dempsey. a place with really good ambience and i wanna go there again. we used to have the impression that food there was extremely expensive so that's why we postponed our plans till now. but now since we know that food there is what we can afford., so more visits will come. had dinner at dome. desserts at ben & jerry's. and it was yummylicious. thanks to my ben & jerry's cravings these days.



















we parted ways at dempsey and while me and mel were on our way home, we suddenly decided that it was still too early. and so we came up with the idea of going to timbre. the place was damn packed and there was a long long queue, as expected on a friday night. we had no choice but to give up and we ended up sitting by the river. it wasn't too long before we decided to head home.

dinner treat from mx at ding tai fung. my first time eating there. food was nice even though from the pics it looks kind of bland. healthy eating i would say. love those crystal buns with the much gravy inside. kind of feel as if we drinking soup when we bite into those buns. wanton noodles was nice too. and i shall not forget to mention the mango pudding dessert which was so heavenly tasting. i would absolutely eat that again on my next visit.




















































the yummylicious mango pudding







while we were still enjoying our dinner, weisheng did something that was really out of the blue.
he was tallying sales readings at the restaurant. omg! despite our efforts to dissuade him, we failed.

















he was also busy reading the papers before the food came. oh man, what a kopitiam style!

after dinner, we went to timbre. and yes, i finally got in. bumped into shihui while we were there. we were there only for a glass and just when they were playing nice songs, ws wanted a change of location. double-o again cos he was feeling high and had wanted to dance. barely drink much when i was there but it left me feeling real uncomfy. seriously speaking, the more i club, the more i don't feel like clubbing. its time to lead a more healthy lifestyle.


















supper with mx and jasmine at changi village last night. went for short walk at some kelong walk after that. looks like there's many places in s'pore that i've never been to.
