i'm back and already feeling tired. sheesh. i'm missing the laid back life there but it's time to get back to business.

this trip is diff from the rest of my bali trips. we did not set foot on kuta beach. instead we did what we learnt from chiang mai. get on a day tour. haha. it's weird that we never knew such things existed before chiang mai.

finally got on atv solo this time round. due to ome bad experience heh, i didn't dare go fast but the view was great. the slopes were a killer at some point but we just whacked it... white water this time also was kinda fun. had more drops compared to chiang mai.

other visists were to uluwatu and nusa dua. zums went scuba diving!! hahaha. was so proud of him.. him having this fear of water.. and i was the one who gave it a miss as i wasn't feeling too good with my cough and phlegm still going on full blast.

k nvm.. getting tired now. i'll just wait for the memory card from them and i'll upload the pics soon..

**crosses finger for some happy sunshine**

arghhh!!!!

bloody hell. something wrong with my camera. the whole batch of photos couldn't be uploaded properly. all the nice pics of our prize presentation down the drain.. arghh...

arghhh. it has started again. 3 classes a week and 7 assignments lined up.

on another note... pollyp's are champions!!! weee!!!!

"bloody brilliant"

this was delivered to my desk today...

i'm a mush now....

all my coke zero peeps.... maybe you can try your luck..

i picked up a the book "ps, i love you" today. i have no idea why. i've heard about the movie as well. so i thought since it's been some time i've had a good read then why not.

40 pages into the book and i've felt like bawling my eyes out 3 times. dammit. and i still wun put the book down.

maybe i should get the dvd as well and have my crying over a movie session soon.

maybe i should get sherman to watch it. that'll be the day....

repeat mode...

I don't care what you might think about me
You'll get by without me if you want
Well, I could be the one to take you home
Baby, we could rock the night alone
If we never get down, it wouldn't be a let-down
But sugar, don't forget what you already know
That I could be the one to turn you out
We could be the talk across the town
Don't judge it by the color, confuse it for another
You might regret what you let slip away
Like the geek in the pink, do-do-do...
Well, like the geek in the pink, yeah
(The geek in the pink)

some people just have no idea how to keep their mouth shut.

a simple hello and how you doin would have sufficed. but no. they have to go on and on and on.

ya lah. i know. you the best!

pi dah!!!

game on saturday and stayed home on sunday to paint my room. which was quite a big mistake. considering i have no time to recover for work. waking up this morning was just plain ass toturous and i kept giving myself 5 more minutes which resulted me finally waking up at 7. took a slow shower and sat on my bed then contemplating if i should rush.. calling in sick was a no no as i need to save up some few days of leave for prob a short holiday with the family n december. in the end, tiredness won me over and i got out of the house at 8 taking a cab to my office.. $34 down the drain.

seriously feeling kinda fcuked up cos of some issues. sheesh. with my ankle still hurting and swollen. and my body aching from both sat and sunday, i am so not in the mood to face this.

sigh.. oh wateva..

so farnee. i can post a blog but not view my blog from work..

not going swimming after all. visiting man's cousin at nuh.

training on Monday was good. everyone was having fun doing their thing with no worries of getting screamed at. the field was sucky tho with the mud and all but with all the fun going on, no one minded getting down and durttyy.

I'm supposed to go swimming today but silly ol' me just had to forget my goggles. even after reminding myself while packing my bag this morning. to think I reminded myself cos I was looking at my goggles while packing my bag. oh and that includes my swimming cap as well. damn. I knew something like this was going to happen. last night I dreamt that I went out without my costume and the dream was like on a repeat mode or something. when I finally woke up I was so glad to pack in my costume but now this.

arrrggghhh!

the office is freezing cold. with my cubicle being windowless, I have no idea if it's raining. maybe it's just me. with all these fasting, I kinds lost some fats to keep me warm. heh.

anyway happy birthday to me mum. we got her a new hp to finally replace her held together by scotch tape one.

had a relatively good game today. the girls did superb. i think i managed to do what i was aiming for. that is not to run blindly and pass off the ball fast.

our jerseys look good! even sherman asked if he could get one. without the pollypockets of cos.

caught wall-e after that. cute movie. only sherman didn't want to call me eve! he kept calling me mary. idiot.

maryyyyyyyyy!!!!!

I feel relieved.




Cos I just had the crap I have been waiting for.

I had to resort to typing this on my touch cos it has wireless. So I'm feeling ala my jajaba typing with only two fingers.

Anyhows Penyu won the diet losing a total of 10kg plus plus and her butt as well as her boobs. Heh. For me, bleargh just managed a mere 4 of as of today. But with the fasting month here, it's nicely moving down a bit more. I want to lose another 10 can?

Work has been ok. Things have slowed down a bit so I think I should get my arse down to MDIS to settle the paperworks for my Degree. I finally received my graduation letter for the Adv Dip after almost 4 months of waiting. Oh yeah and I recently also just got a promotion at work. Sweet.

Swimming has taken a short holiday now since it's the first week of puasa but I'm already missing the water. Will prob pick that up again very soon. Started to touch again and it feels nice lay. Only that I'm like super lost on the field nowadays, haha. And the kids these days are like superhumanly fast. Like can die lah playing with them!

K gonna catch some nap now. Insanely sleepy. Oh ya and my backside pain when I sit b'cos got pimple!!!!

Monthly update

Bloody hell.. My blog becoming like a monthly newsletter. No time lah. Everytime tired to update. Atwork also cannot update because they block blogspot.

Haiyah. Oklah now I tired again. Blog another time. Prob next month I guess. Hahaha.

Is it the weather?

I haven't been feeling superbly fit since I came back from Korea. Always tired and well... just not fit.

Finally got back to the gym yesterday and hit the pool today with Alina. Feels good to be sweating it out. Hopefully the exercise will do me good.

Many things have happened and I'm glad to say they are good things. Just got to move on from here eh?

Wow It's August Now

I was supposedly itching to post a long blog.. But by the time I entered the title, I got tired and lazy and I'll just forget about everything now.

Next time then..

Uploaded...

Korea 2008

I'm Back Home

Well.. I'm back. Reached home about 3am this morning after supper. First thing I had upon reaching back was meat. Black pepper steak, which was a disappointment!!!

My room now is in a mess with all my bags strewn all over. Korean trinkets lying on the floor. Dirty clothes here and there... Shit. Post trip is always a chore.

Pics are up in my Mac but also in a mess. And some are still stuck in his laptop. Technical glitch there. Will properly upload once all in order.

Just some preview here:

This is me when we have just reached Incheon and waiting for our bus to Seoul.

On our first walk along Cheong Gye River. It's more like their drain but they have just conserved and filtered it so the 'drain' has clean water for the people to be able to actually have their picnics there.

Firt touristy trip to their DMZ border of North & South Korea. Photography rules were very strict here so we missed out on taking pictures at the border viewing point and the 3rd infiltration tunnel. This station was where they have to go through immigration to get from South to North.

Later at night, we visited the Seoul Tower.

The next day we visited Lotte World. Wheee..

This is us at the Boryeung Mud Festival over at Daecheon Beach.

The 2 hour train ride back to Seoul. Where we did not buy tickets in advance and had to stand. Well we ended up sitting on the carpet floor of the cafeteria coach. Then everynoe else who had standing tickets followed and started to sit as well. Hahaha. Typically Singaporeans of us.. Just settle your bum anywhere as long as you get to sit.

This is during the cruise along Hangang River.

Group photos:

During the exhibition opening.


Group dinner at Sejong.


This is the group of student volunteers from Seoul National University.

The Malays.. from Malaysia and Singapore.
Us at the hostel area.

Us during one of the meal time.

Last group photo at the National Art Museum which was in the middle of a forested area and right beside Seoul Land which was much2 better than Lotte World. Damnit!!


Ok that's all I could compile at the moment.

Anyway, we also received THE letter from HDB. Well we got it.. Yeap yeap. Queue no 41. We'll probably receive the invite and letters all that in August. Ngoi!!! We're gonna be neighbours after all.. Hehe..

Been eating non stop la.. I so so need to get back on my diet.. Shit Shit.. hahaha. Ok gtg get ready for my co D&D now.. Urghh. Need sleep....

Day 10

Cruised by Hangang River, finally had proper Korean meals and moved in to the Seoul National University hostel. Met friends from Malaysia, zumsteg23's opening went well and now I'm blogging on my iPod touch in the seminar cos they're presenting in Korean and I'm falling asleep. Bleargh 2 more days and I have to say bye to the Kimchi land! Sadness...

Day 8

Lotte World was super fun. Pics will have to wait when I get back.

Yesterday, we made our stop at the Boryeoung Mud Festival at Daecheon Beach. Hahaha.. We painted our whole body in mud and the water was superbly cold and totally crowded.

Anyway off to KEPCO to set up zumsteg's artwork now.

Laters dudesss..

Day 5

I haven't had a proper poop. Hahhaa...

Yesterday we went down for the DMZ tour it was quite interesting actually. You get to learn so much about the Norh and South Korean history. Had a trek through the 3rd infiltration tunnel and we ended up 74m below ground level. Natural aircon workng at its best.

Had another short hike up during the night to Seoul Tower. Worth the walk and worth the money. View is superb as compared to our Carlsberg Tower in Sentosa.. I think cos I have never ever been up there actualy.

Anyway, heading down to Lotte World now.

Day 3

Day 3 in Seoul and my diet plan went down the drain. Well I don't think I overate or anything but it is so difficult to find food that I'm comfortable with. The next best thing to halal food... seafood.

Everything here is mostly written in their language and quite difficult to converse with them in English. Well, day 3 down and 9 more to go. Heading to the border tour tomorrow like Alina suggested, then prob Lotte world on Friday and maybe the Mud Fest on the 12th!!

Ok goona get my shower. Had a long day today shopping and that was only 1 shopping centre...

Alina.. I found your Hard Rock. It's in Itaewon. I'll try to get you the guitar magnet ya!!

Signing off.... Aien in Korea!!

It's Sunday

Well well well.. Finally Sunday. Checking in my bags tonight and flying off tomorrow. Woweee.. No proper itinerary yet but we'll have 2 days there to settle down and get our bearings rite..

Today is also the weigh in but I might have to give that a miss. Shucks. So much to pack. But I think I may have lost 5kg now.. Unless the weighing machine is spoilt. Just hope I didn't pile on the weight I have lost.. Ok lah.. got to continue packing. Will try to drop in again before I fly.

Week 1

Well we had our first official weigh in. And all of us succeeded in losing some weight.. Congrats everybody!!

On my part I lost 2.7kg. That is such a nice feeling and motivation for me to go on losing all these fats.

Well Jac now wants us to keep a food diary for the week and we are allowed to have one food indulgence and 500ml of sweetened drinks for the week. Hehe. And you know what.. I'm like so lost on what to indulge on.. I crave for a large pack of french fries but I also have a pack of 3 piece rochere which I have been staring for the past week in the office.. My friend give me la.. I not that pathetic to go and buy but not eat..

Ok.. Week 2.. Here we goooo...

Only 5 days

Wahlau eh. Yesterday I had my promotion ceremony. Then they served us a buffet dinner. Guess what did the cook?..... Out of 10 types. There was only 1 veg dish and 1 pathetic salad dish. Win oredi lor.

Finally..

Got to wake up at 11 today. Yeay!!

Did my laundry!! Fresh clothes!!!

Booked the tickets!! SQ Sweet Deals offer.. Flying off from T3.. Yipee..

I Need Sleep

Been stealing 2 hour naps after my events the past few days at any spot I could get. One of them being an empty office with a flattened out box as my mattress and a cut out bubble wrap as my pillow.

Wear and Tear

Been going around with a sprained pinky. Usually it heals in a few days but this time round it took too long. More than a 3 weeks, almost a month... Got it checked out at a nearby clinic and it took the doctor less than a minute fiddling around with my little pinkie and saying I've torn a ligament...

Bleah.. No wonder it is still swollen.. Anyway, he cannot do anything about it... So I've to practically wait it out and look after it for months before it completely heals.. 

One little pinky and so leceh to look after... 

And some people can still say the pinky is useless, even self mutilating themselves to remove it.. Let them try and then realise how important the pinky is.. 

Ok got to go ice my PINKY!!!!!!

The Dead Terrorist

A friend recommended this.. Hilarious...

Well we're looking at the new BTO flats now.. So I guess it's either Punggol or Sengkang eh..

Ok, we'll go ponder over it for a while and see what we decide on..

She eventually won second. First was this opera singer...

Anyways, heard she already recorded her first album and she even sang a cover of Bob Marley's Three Little Birds.. Haha I'm so gonna find that song...


---- Update----

Found it..

Tired

Presentation went ok. Managed to pick up my gym routine again this week. Had a run during lunch and hit east coast after work. Tired but I feel good.

Gonna have a long weekend. Study leave on Friday. Get to rest but also to hit the notes. Exams next Friday. Stupid school almost screw up my whole adv dip when I'm into my last module.

Threw me in to the wrong GP group. Rushed me through my whole GP in 8 weeks when everyone else supposedly has 12. Then when I was done and 2 days away from my presentation, told me I was in the wrong group and I was supposed to start on 26 April instead. Rite.. Well that's finally over anyway. One last paper before I prob hit the degree part in June or Oct..

I feel like playing some touch soon. Anyone??

Come What "May"??

Let all this be over soon. Let July come early so I can take my 2 weeks leave and fly off. I've finally handed in my GP and assignments. Now is his turn to dash for that last stretch and then I'll be having my presentation for my GP this Sat.. My last stretch will only end in May after my final exam for this adv dip. It's been crazy for both of us. Very crazy. 

Work is also piling up with events coming up in May and June. Everything is bound to have a curveball. No straight route. Sigh.. 

Amidst all this, I managed to squeeze in 2 good reads. Finally read the Kite Runner. And if you think that book is good, then better start on A Thousand Splendid Suns. Khaled Hosseini is just amazing. Truly. 

K lah. I need to get a move on with my presentation slides. I'll try to dust off the cobwebs again soon..

Ok ok..

Yikes.. A month since my last post.. Busy like kerrazzyy.. What has happened since then.. Let's see..

Had a bbq and chilled with my faves...

My little imp no 1 celebrated her birthday...

Went to a friend's wedding at Lagun Sari..

Visited some friends in KL..

Another wedding at Serangoon and Simei..

And all that amidst my kerrazzy work and me rushing to get my assignments and GP done.. So I'll try to update again next month ok.. Heh.

Surprise is...

1. A dinner date while watching Fools Gold in GV Gold Class.
2. Being served a birthday brownie which comes along with a personal card and
3. Topped off with an Oakley Grapevine served to you on a cool shiny red dessert bowl.

Lovely. Thank you babes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Just One of Those Super Loooong Day v.2

The past few months have been whizzing by. Work has been terribly hectic. Been super busy since I have been transferred to my Div HQ in T2. There's always something to rush for everyday. Been going home past my knock off time this past few weeks. I'm feeling lethargic all the time and I wish I could have a super looong holiday. I don't care if that holiday is in Singapore. I just need it to be a looong one..

With the passing of my grams last year. The birth of a new cousin. The advancement of my relationship with him. Things just keep on coming. Class starts next week. One last module for my adv dip. My graduation project. His assessment in April. My exams in May. Where are we to squeeze in time for a getaway? I'm not even sure if I'm up for it to continue with my bike prac but they've been pushing me not to just quit when I'm already at prac 5.

Anyway we're waiting for the ballot results which will come in April. Dunno why but I can't help feeling excited. I guess it's just one major thing to happen when you decide to buy a house with someone. We're really hoping to get it. Cos it' a great location and it's sweet of him to rationale that we should find somewhere easy for me to get to work. We're just keeping our fingers crossed and hoping for some good luck.

Turning 26 in 2 weeks. That feel kinda weird cos the last time when I really took notice of my age was back when I'm 19. 26... Sheesh.. That means my batch of TPiranhas are all 27 and 28 and Nina!!! Hahaha.. She's 29!!! Goodness.. It's been almost 10 years that i've known them.  God I miss playing with them during those times. No politics. Even if there was, I guess I was just oblivious to it. Things can never be the same I guess.

Hahaha.. One of my random post and it turned out longer than usual.. 

Time of the Year

Hi Babes,

We spoke, so this is just reminder ok...

I want something like this.. Wellll... What I mean is I want it exactly like this.. Thanks!!!!

Huh?

You say I did what?

It's weird.

Plain weird.

I just don't get it.

I can never get it.

Just one after another.

I'm on a roll.

I love the sound of Rain

Today I woke up feeling tired. Had to cramp myself up on the sofa cos when I got home last night, my little cousin was already asleep on my bed.

Then just as I was lazing around watching tv in the afternoon, dozing back to sleep... Blardy mat rempits of a convoy pengantin arrived for the wedding that was a few blocks away.

Bad enough they were blocking the small of a little 2 lane way in front of my block. They had to make a whole lot of noise too with their mini bikes. And there were like more than 50 of them. so imagine the air and sound pollution they were making..

Some bikes make nice noise.. Some bikes just don't!! And theirs don't!!

So then.... after like a few mins later, some noise started and it was a welcome to my ears.. Lovely I tell you. Just wonderfully orgasmic.

Woooohooo!!!

Just One of Those Super Loooong Day

Like finally.. Wahahaha...

Got the results of the last module I took and I must say I'm pretty surprised. But thank you. I'm ecstatic. Just one last module and I can jump onto the big one.

Don't watch Cloverfield cos I had to actually puke halfway through the movie. It was that bad.

So much for leaving my house at 8 to watch Sweeny Todd. Thanks eh.

Well time to plan my next move. One last module. Waiting for the results of another important phase in life. Sheesh..

Decisions Decisions.. At least I no longer have to decide on my own... Buahahaha...

Thank you all who helped and yes to those who gave me your warm wishes. ;-)
