NAMA chocolate

went to the Singapore Flyer today.. hahaha.. not bad ehh.. but seriously, not tat fantastic.. okay only.. i was there with a bunch of aunties and seniors.. was there on a tour with the ppl from my workplace.. enjoyed the company more than the view though..

dinner afterword with WP at the Borders Bistro.. wanna have the cheese cake there.. but was sold out when we were there.. totally disappointing lah.. *sigh* the pasta was not bad too and according to WP who likes pork so much, the hotdog was not bad.. i still wanna have the cheese cake!! hmmm..

and off we go to taka to get the NAMA chocolate that WP likes so much.. from Royce.. not cheap eh.. S$15 for a box of 20 small pieces.. but i must admit, it was good!! ohh la la.. the smooth chocolate with the subtle hint of champagne and the slight bitter of the cocoa powder.. shiok!!

managed to catch Year One too.. it’s a movie, if you dont know.. not bad.. funny.. laugh from beginning to the end.. but got a few stomach churning scenes though.. *spoiler ahead* the part where the guy ate the shit and the rubbing of chest hair thingy.. arrgghh.. almost vomited..

and now here i am back in my home to blog.. tired.. and gotta work tomolo..

on a side note, i dont know wat went over me.. i agreed to take up another tuition assignment.. i’m seriously so tied up lah.. weekdays are fulled of tuition and night classes.. not i agreed to another tuition, i burned my weekends too.. so guys, dont expect to see me much from now on.. occasional dinner or movie is fine, just dont expect too much yeah..

#PS – i cant find the cable to transfer the photos, otherwise u all can see some of the views from Singapore Flyer..

Audio Book

2 days ago, i went to the NLB and borrowed this audio book.. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow (audio book).. interesting.. i had tried audio book before, but those are instructional audio books.. this time is a story audio book.. hahaha.. very interesting..

you see, this Harry Potter audio book was read by a guy.. and funny things happen when it came to the dialogue part.. cos this guy try to pretend to be girls when it came to female part of the dialogue.. and it was super funny.. and i kept “am-chio” when i’m listening it in office while doing stuff.. and my colleague tot i’m crazy.. hahaahah..

but hor, audio book really super convenient.. i think i fall in love with it oledi..

things at work are partly smooth partly not smooth.. certain projects are going on well, some are not.. *sigh* and i got this intense urge to start my own business etc.. and it is not helping at all.. torn between staying and pursuing my dreams.. and i think i will one day quit, but i just dont know when.. and i hope it will be soon!!

been emailing a certain someone.. if you are reading this post, THANKS!! uplifting and inspiring..

you3 de2 bi4 you3 shi1

golden advice from my long distance friend at Beijing.. thanks for the listening ears.. life rocks!! so lets live it to the fullest..

i missed out the NLB book sales.. darn.. and i tot tat i can get lotsa a few books to slowly read and enjoy.. guess, i’ll have to be contented with borders or just have to wait for the next NLB book sales.. hahaha

sometimes, i wished i have the courage to do the leap of faith.. or hope tat someone push me from the back.. well, one of these days (and it should be soon), i will have the courage to do the leaping..

getting a little sluggish and slow at work.. being suddenly pushed to be the ‘leader’, i need to quickly master a lot of things.. motivating others are very important.. so is leading a discussion/meeting.. and how do you work with stubborn ppl who resist any new suggestion??

TOTO 3 million jackpot

yesterday TOTO was 3 million jackpot!! and i spent S$13 to buy and i didnt win anything.. bohoo~~ and i tot i got this feeling tat i will win something.. hahaha..

okay, before u all say i’m a gambler, i must clarify.. i’m not.. i only buy if there is like big jackpot.. cos like my father say, “buying a hope”, why not? if really win, then good.. but if didnt win, it’s okay too, cos just a few bucks.. not tat i spent my entire savings or something like tat.. haha..

kinda scary that day after day, week after week, month after month, time just passes by.. without me realising it, i oledi worked for 7 months!! tat is so scary.. and without me realising it too, i will be in my 65 years old oledi and ready to retire.. arrgghh.. i dont want!! i still have plenty of stuff to do!!

how do i slow down the time?? another quest of mine, together with pill of immortality.. hahaha..

I Love Spontaneity

a spontaneous night.. just when i want to stop ponteng and go back to school, it was cancelled.. oh well.. then off i go to wheelock to go to my favourite place!! BOOKSHOP!! Borders..

originally intending to go to the Borders Cafe to enjoy my cheesecake and write my review for the food blog.. but ended up walking around and reading books here and there.. hahaha..

wanted to buy a few books.. but i bought 2 books yesterday le.. so cant buy anymore, if not my whole house will be filled with books.. hahaha.. i dont mind having a mini library at my home.. LOL =)

put this at my MSN nick today:

which type are you?

(i) want to follow your dream, or (ii) want to want to follow your dream, or (iii) you dont have a dream?

if you are (i), then you will be doing something to make your dream come true.. just like if you want to eat, you will be cooking something to eat, or going to tabao food, or getting something from the fridge.. similarly, if u want to follow your dream, then u will be doing something, like planning, or making small different, taking first step, etc..

if you are (ii), then u merely have a dream.. u are wishing that u can start doing something.. u are just wanting to “want to follow your dream”.. basically u are not doing anything to your dream.. you merely lament, moan, complain about starting to follow your dream.. but you are not doing anything concrete.. it maybe due to a lot of reasons.. but i dont blame ppl for being (ii).. i think it is caused by the society pressure.. study hard, get good jobs, tat’s it.. society dont really encourage following your dream..

if you are (iii), i dont think i need to explain anything..

which one am i? i’m somewhere in between (i) and (ii).. and moving towards (i).. hopefully moving to (i) at a faster pace!!

Dunlop

tucked in the corner or Dunlop Street (near Little India) is this nice bar.. cool..

Fir birthday celebration yesterday at Zsofi Tapasbar was indeed interesting.. interesting place.. nice cosy ppl with partial zionites ppl and not to forget Fir’s brother interesting performance.. hahaha.. the part on the drunken guitarist was hilarious, but i think tat was purely spur of the moment, not rehearsed..

3 glasses of shots, 1 glass of beer and 0.5 glass of mixer.. had a bit of hangover and i need all my concentration to walk back from the bus stop to my door step.. first time being so close to getting drunk.. hahah..

there are still lotsa things tat i haven finish or get to start.. *sigh* i wonder when i’m going to stop procrastinating?? my food blog, my parents’ biography, learning my chinese, start my restaurant/cafe, travelling..

ppl are simply so busy nowadays.. cant really catch them.. and they are all perpetually busy at work.. not tat is a bad thing, i just not used to it..

Make Peace

whee~~ finally my Acer desktop was fixed.. oh gosh.. within 2 years, i called the help desk like countless times.. changed RAM, changed motherboard, changed the CD-ROM.. i cant help to wonder wat they are going to change for me..

work wasnt so smooth this week.. bumpy ride.. i even consider quitting and be a full time tuition teacher.. i seriously wanna do so.. but every time after i had a talk with my VP, things seems to be brighten up.. but i still considering being a full time tuition teacher.. just not now.. maybe a year later.. or a year and a half later.. seriously i cant be in this job for forever..

and i tot i’m over it oledi.. but it is still a thorn in my heart.. i’m still very bitter about it.. and i dont know wat to do to make peace with it.. *sigh* if you all know wat i’m talking about, just dont mention it in front of me..

keep ‘ponteng’-ing my psychology lessons.. oppsy.. but the lecturer is really boring.. cant stand it.. hahaha.. last semester result was okay only.. not too fantastic.. hope this time round can get a distinction.. hahaha..

oh yeah, phuket trip anyone?? in october.. i’m calculating the cos now.. surely less than S$300 for accomodation and air tickets.. anybody onz?? can still lower it if we choose a “not so good accommodation”.. onz?? in october.. probably second or third week of october..

Frog Porridge

supper with our rare guest mr. CL was unsuccessful.. oh well, can do it again when v-jie is back.. hahaha..

got a replacement of supper gang when CT called.. hahha.. frog porridge at geylang.. ohh~la~la~

i really cant remember when was the last time i was there.. 2 years ago or is it 3 years?

anyway, is delicious!!

received a surprised b’day card from my maid also.. very ‘gan dong’.. and being a bad sir, i cant remember her b’day.. tat is bad.. must go to the maid employment agency and ask my maid b’day.. hahah..

Phuket, revisited

just back from Phuket.. but without a tan, souvenir or even ice wine.. but got a Davidoff fragrance.. haha..

short get-away with my cousins and sisters over the weekend.. short nice trip.. with some highs and lows though..

the trip kicked-off at early Saturday morning where everyone woke up at 4.30am to prepare for the flight at 7.30am.. arrived at Phuket very early and the trip start with some cruising around in charted van to various places in Phuket.. and those places were places that i didnt managed to get to go on my first trip to Phuket with CT, TT and XXY..

visited the big buddha statues and this “Wat”.. then had some shopping done.. i think i spend most of my time in hotel room watching movies.. hahah.. watched 4 movies continuously from this channel that shows only movies, without advertisement also.. hahha.. fantastic 4, ninja turtles, hitman, behind enemy line.. wohoo~~ shiok siah..

something bad happened when i went to swim though.. dislocated my shoulder again!! *sigh* and made a big huh-hah for everyone.. but then again, i told them it was okay de.. they themselves wanna made a big huh-hah.. not me.. oh well..

the seafood spread on Sunday night was so-so only.. i think the previous trip with CT, TT and XXY had a better seafood spread..

didnt really go to the beach though.. mostly spend the time in hotel, around hotel or in the van travelling from places to places.. and cos the girls wanna do shoppping, so most time was spent on shopping..

missed the drinking sessions also.. cos i was too tired and went back early to sleep..

when coming back, i’m so excited to get my ice wine at duty free prices.. but my excitement was crushed when i was told that if i transit from Malaysia i cant get the duty free price.. so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so sad.. shouldn’t have transit at malaysia, should have flown back straight away, save time and can get my ice wine.. *sob sob*

but oh well, gotten my long dreamt of fragrance.. Davidoff Adventure.. gotten my sis Chanel Chance also.. spent kinda a bit on those two.. but i think worth it lah..
