Gaz's recommendation!! So cute!! Im so inspired to do a video myself! hahahahaa..

Store wars.......

this is a bo liao post cause my boss told me to download photos from her canon digi cam but for some reason, there were no photos inside!! So i decided to be bo liao and took photos of the office instead. haha...


here is a shot of our new office from the entrance. im already cramped up in this corner of the door.... hahha..

turn left from the entrance, and you will see our pantry. where a lot of ants like to walk on the table top.

this is the view from my table. that blue door is the main entrance....

this is ah meow's table and dunno why she is so happy here. she seemed amused that i was taking photos of our office. see all those books behind her?? that is our library....

last but not least, the toilet!! it looks very clean here because i think the cleaning lady just cleaned it. and see that red pail hanging on the tap?? There is no sink so we have to hang that pail there to prevent water from splashing onto the floor.

just came back from east coast macs with Longan Gang outing, and feeling so tired out. Went for Sarcastic Guy's degree show at Laselle and had to listen to this boring Indian guy talk about how design was not very accepted in India then during his time. So boring and all the food in front of me but i could not eat it! Anyway, the food was lousy. the bee hoon tasted like rubber bands but the chicken wings tasted a little more like normal food. Before that, we were walking around, scrutinising and bitching on everyone's models and work. I think i was really hungry or something cause everything seemed to remind me of food! Especially this carpet sample that looked like some waffle. It had a pattern similar to a waffle's impression mah... what to do....

Walked around the whole campus as well, the graphics as usual was better and we went around collecting beautiful namecards!! Hahahaa.... and later proceeded to Macs at East Coast where i had a 4 piece nuggets Happy Meal. When was the last time anyone of us had a Happy Meal??! It came with this free toy, which was actually a stamp of some weird cartoon character which i have never seen before in my entire life. The rest of the Longan gang were happily stamping their marks on each other's hands and tissue papers.

This group of really young children who were surfing the net behind us were staring at a porn site!!!! We were horrified and they just kept staring at the.... erm... motion screen?? So Ah Zai went over to see if they needed help to get out of that page and it turned out that they just clicked on the History tab... accidently i hope. Cause they were at some Spongebob Squarepants website after that.

Oh yar!!! I broke 2 mirrors today in the office!!!!! Brought a mirror to the office cause there is none available there ever since we moved [ i'm talking about the toilet.] and i decided to clean it since it was super dusty. After i cleaned it with Mr Brasso, I placed it on my lap and suddenly, one side of the mirror dropped out! [it's 2 mirrors on opposite sides, just glued together] and it landed on the floor!

CRRRRRAAAAASSSSSSHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In shock, i stared at the floor and while the first one dropped onto the floor, the second piece fell out and landed on my lap. As I tried to retrieve the only mirror left, it fell to the floor and CCRRRASSSSSH!! Again!!!! 2 mirrors broken in less than a minute!!! Oh My God!!!!!! So freaky lor..... Im so depressed now.

On another note, i managed to get a pair of slippers that i have been eyeing at Mphosis for a while now.... for 50% discount!!! Yes!! Walked into the shop, took the shoe and just asked for my size. They took my shoes and told me to pay at the cashier. So after walking around the super jammed packed store, i decided to go pay for it. So i started queing behind this long queue. After a while, one of the staff asks everyone in the queue to move more to the left.... And after standing in the queue for a good 3 minutes, i looked around and realised that that was the queue to the fitting room! and not the cashier!!! So malu ok! See lar. dunno why so backfire recently.

Ok, going to sleep now... I hope one of you will adopt Pen Pen!!! I miss her dearly and I hope to be able to see her again.... Boohoohooooo... Everyday i look at her pictures and think of how cute and sweet she was..... minus the scratching anyway. So if one of my friends adopt Pen Pen, i will still have a high chance of seeing her again! Correct?? : D

i dunno why my entries have these weird symbols appearing... any idea anyone???

Seems like I have not blogged for the longest time… but anyway, my long weekend was burned out with work… have been sooooo busy since Saturday and super tired after all that… So wanted to go out on sat night cause I didn’t really feel like doing work, but no one seems to be free. So no life lor!!!! Haahhaha.. anyway, I was stuck at home all the time and we only managed to finish up our presentation work by 5 plus on Monday… and of course my time was also nicely taken up by the new “refugee” in my house, as you can see on the left, is a picture of the cutie pie… apparently, miffy’s friend found this almost 1 month old kitten outside his house and she is fostering it for now. Until she finds an owner. Then she remembers that she was going to Hong Kong for a holiday with her mum over the long weekend!!! So, guinea pig and kitty was at my place till she came back…

The kitten was super adorable but it’s claws were super sharp!!! Bunny came over on Sunday afternoon to see it and she thought it was cute but was so afraid to play with it cause of its sharp claws!! Overall, this cutie got many ooohhss and aahhhhss especially from my mum who never used to like such animals. I found her talking to the kitten occasionally and kept asking me to take photos of it!! But kittens being kittens, its so hard to get a picture of them!! So I resorted to taking videos of it. Oh, and i named it Pen Pen. But miffy doesn't seem to like the name... :P

My chinchillas and the guinea pig seemed irritated by its constant loud meows and for some reason, when I was feeding the chins and g.pig, the g.pig made this loud squeaking noise similar to the chinchilla’s squeaks! Shortly after, the chins also started making the same noise! Both the kitten and I were in shock for a while, and I didn’t understand what was happening!! Must be some secret code… or they were attempting to talk to each other… hmmm…

Anyway, managed to meet up with Moustache man and Backfire King for dinner last night. Was a last minute thing, so Bunny and Chinki could not make it and I met up cause I needed to go out badly!! Civilisation man!!! And for some weird reason, both Backfire and I drove to Orchard, leaving Moustache man cursing that nobody offered to pick him up. Had dinner at Sakura at Far East Plaza, and it was pretty crowded… Backfire asked the waitress to clear the table in the front for us and we stood outside talking about his ex girlfriends/scandals/crushes. Dunno how we started the topic but we ended up talking and laughing for a rather long time before we realized that we were still waiting for our table. Backfire was angry that the waitress didn’t call us to let us know that our table was ready, so he asked in this rather ah-long tone, “Can sit already or noooot??” So funny to see him act tough, when he is always so backfire…

After our very filling dinner, we played pool at Parklane. Me, being the super hopeless one at pool decided to try learning it again. My boss taught me with Chinki before but I totally forgot how to play after so many years. The 2 of them were really good teachers I must say!! Which resulted in me winning 2 games… but that was only because both of them had super bad luck in the games and I kept getting the ball in hand! Wahahahaha… I also had to do a super bimbotic action where the cue stick totally missed the ball!! I thought I was going to die of embarrassment. Backfire on the other hand, kept hitting the ball outside the table.. leaving it to bouce happily away.

After 1.5 hours of playing pool, Backfire decided to retreat home while Moustache Man and I went to Esplanade to hang out for the night. And…….. behold, I saw a suspicious looking couple holding hands!!! Turns out to be someone in IAD and he dropped his girlfriend’s hand the moment he saw me walking towards him!! If I was 2 seconds late, I would not have seen them holding hands lor!! Anyway, I kinda knew it cause they were so obvious about liking each other. Hahahahha… He looked suuuuuuppppeerrr sheepish and looked like he was going to faint from embarrassment any time. His girlfriend seemed oblivious to what was happening until he said hello…. I really thought I was going to die laughing at his sheepishness so I decided to leave them alone and said bye. But I was still laughing at him for the whole night…. Kekekekkee…

Just came back from lunch with Gaz at his office, and I kept asking him what buses to take to his office but he said he wasn’t very sure. So I decided to be clever and took bus 143. But after one bus stop, it turned left and I ended up at Toa Payoh Interchange!!! Super backfire I tell you. Lucky I don’t meet up with Backfire very often. Otherwise my life sure turn upside down one. Ended up taking a cab to his office and lucky the nice taxi driver found a short cut there… Gaz’s office was super huge and I could not find him despite asking 2 of the staff for directions! Bumped into Bao and she looked really shocked to see me. Hahaha… I still ended up waiting for him at the lobby while he finished his work. I updated him on who I saw last night and he was very angry!!!! I thought his blood pressure was going to shoot up but he was smiling all the time so it was alright lar. Heheheehe… so I guess I was quite happening after all?? :D

Here are piccie of Pen Pen.... so sweet...

Thursday 19th May 2005

what a tiring day... had to rush some stuff at work in the morning and went to print our new namecards at bras basah.. went to basheer to look for some new books, because our new presentation requires a "Modern Tropical" theme.... Very few suitable books and didn't manage to get any books at all. Bought a Detailing book for retail shops for myself though..... So ex... but it looks good!

Somehow or other, i managed to rush down to Tanjong Pagar MRT station by 6.30pm to meet Bunny for our Cycling class at the gym. She has finally made her decision and decided to sign up with Fitness First! After many months of thinking it through.. hahha... We managed to change quickly and by the time we got to the group cycling room, it was super filled with people. and there were only 2 empty bikes RIGHT in front of the instructor. The instructor was sweet enough to get off his bike and helped both of us adjust the bikes to the correct height and strapped our shoes into the pedals. As usual, i think i started off the class a little too fast and thus, making me feel like throwing up all over the floor. i mean, i threw up halfway through the very first cycling class i went to, because i was clever enough to eat this stupid bread from breadtalk, 10 mins before the class.... i learnt my lesson hard enough.

So Bunny and i were struggling with the class and i think i was trying too hard to catch up with the rest! I was thinking, wah, that girl beside me go so fast! Then i will push myself harder.... but actually i was going very slowly lar. The class seemed to go on forever and i could not find the stupid clock. When the class was finally over, Bunny told me that she also felt like throwing up! Must be 2 of us try to hard to be too garang la.... the super trim instructor talked to us for a rather long time and taught us how to cycle properly so that we don't get thunder thighs [read : beyonce!!!] and so that our thighs will have nice sculpted muscles instead. And apparently, he said that this class could burn up to 600 calories = a bowl of laksa. [i didn't know that!] but if u didn't put in 90% effort, then you would probably burn off about 400 calories = a bowl of fishball noodles! I learn new stuff everyday! :D

what a hazardous day. Today, Ah meow was extremely accident prone and nearly got into minor accidents every few minutes. I feared for her life for like....... the entire day. During lunch, she nearly fell off the step just right outside our office's back door. Then, she opened the umbrella when i was standing behind her, and it narrowly missed my eye by half an inch! As we walked with the umbrella, she nearly jabbed the end of the umbrella into my eye again! I was so scared of her that i decided to walk in the drizzle instead. Harzardous meow!

we walked around balestier area during lunch today and finally decided to eat ba chor mee at this corner coffeeshop. Which costs a hefty $4!!! for that sort of coffeeshop condition, i was shocked to see them charging $4 for a stupid bowl of noodles! And guess what, it wasn't that great. But it gave both of us a stomachache.

i think my body pump class the other day is killing me..... still. My left arm seems to be so stiff... the muscles there seem to have tightened forever or something. Stretch.......... stttrreeetttchhhhhh................ pain paaaiin...

darling beigey's eye seems to be getting worse! looks swollen now! But dunno if that is so because the eye cream sticks to her fur around the eye... mummy will be bringing her tomorrow to see the vet..... one more time! at times like this, i wished i had studied harder in the past during school, and gotten into the Biology class in Sec 3 and pursued my dream at that time to be a vet! then i can cure all these problems!! Anyway, too late. : D

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........

i am convinced that the water in the new office's toilet is not very clean. i know i am a little biased against the toilet in the new office, and it will probably give me future bladder problems because i will not use it as often. even after i wash my hands SUPER thoroughly with anti-bacteria handwash, my hands still felt dirty! like.. there is this layer of dust on them. I thought i was imagining it, but ah meow said that she felt the same! ahhhhh!!! shall bring bottled water to office from now on. or buy evian to wash my hands in the office... so diva yeah. hahahhha!

bunny says that maybe i am too princess. well, maybe i am. hahaha.... i keep telling her that the office is running on ONE aircon that doesnt seem to be working, and 2 ceiling fans. that look like its going to drop down any moment. Thank god for the giant air-circulator fan that our boss bought some time ago for their room, but Meow and i hijacked it. Plus meow and i have our own mini fans for ourselves. And i still felt so hot! I was so tempted to go to my gym at Paragon after work to bathe cause i felt sooooo sticky! anyway, met Bunny at orchard emerald and brought her for her very first eyebrow threading!! She was so terrified that she kept asking why i was walking so fast! Stayed with her in the room while she was being..... threaded. i felt like i was the husband in the operating theatre, holding the wife's hands while she is giving birth! hahahhaha... anyway, she did fine and i was so scared that she was going to slap the girl! Cause she said that she gets violent when people inflict such pain on her... aiyoh. scary lor........

got dinner at sakae sushi at heeren, where our ordered sushi took eons to arrive and by the time it came, we had taken a double plate of what we ordered! so i was super filled with spicy salmon sushi.. which wasnt very fresh. had to peel off the seaweed first. Bunny's salmon skin handroll was..... pathetic. the salmon skin was like.. disappearing to the bottom. but nonetheless, it was a rather cheap dinner, only $20. so cannot complain so much lar.

Brought her to the gym at George Street and she is thinking hard about whether she really wants to join. She seemed amused at the idea that the CBI was teaching Body Jam too. We sat outside drinking our free drinks and admiring the view. I can't remember why but she wanted to push me into the ankle deep water pool..... violent bunny on the loose! And i had to do something bimbotic like..... pretending to "fling" myself onto this huge patch of grass next to George street and Bunny commented how funny it will be if i fell and sprained my ankle then. Which is actually quite possible.

I took a photo of the cute cat that hangs outside the Clarke Quay MRT station's bus stop! There is a round black patch around one of its eyes, so it looked like someone boxed it, but its like... a birthmark. So adorable! Will post pictures of it soon!

By the way, this new picture was taken by beloved Bunny with her baby lomo.... and she insisted that i do not adjust the colour or photo in any way because she likes it this way... hahaha... so there you are folks.......

stupid blogger is in mandarin again... which is the reason that i keep clicking on the wrong tabs to get to the "post entry" part.

Took Beigey to the vet yesterday in the morning, and turned out that she didn't have any fungus infection. just a simple eye infection, probably caused by certain dust in the air, or she scratched herself. So no cause for panic there.... The vet seemed really young, and looked "Butch". But at least she treated Beigey alright. Still prefer my usual crazy vet... Dr Ly.

As i was about to take a short nap in the afternoon, i received a weird sms from someone who i know, will not send me a message in such a format. it went something like this, "Hi Dee, Bunny is dying in my hands now." R.I.G.H.T. So like him to send me something like that... turned out that Bunny and Baba met Moustache man in the bus and took the same train down to town. Where both of them irritated each other to death in the train, and i am very surprised that the CSI has not been sent down to the stationary MRT train to check on the DBs. Anyway, Bunny proudly admitted to Moustache man that i have commented that she has been... erm, rather bimbotic lately and he said that he could see that. One incident was when she stepped on his brand new track shoes. [Who also happened to ask me the other day if it was alright if the glue was visible on his shoes.] He had crossed his r.i.g.h.t foot over his left and after Bunny treaded on his l.e.f.t. shoe, he bent down to clean up the mess. And she asked, "Why are you cleaning your left shoe when i stepped on your right one??"

....................

Well done, Bunny.

Anyway, went for eyebrow threading after that, and waited for Ah Zai at Orchard Emerald's bus stop, where i bought a small iced milk tea from Mos Burger and was super tempted by the roasted chestnuts. Decided not to buy it cause it will look very unglam eating them and sms-ed Ah Zai to hurry up so i wont buy them! He turned up shortly after and i could not miss him... from his big hair. Dunno where he can go to get a decent hair cut... for curly hair. So took the bus to Laselle SIA where Ah Zai's good friend, Matty's boyfriend was having his Media Studies Degree Show. Ya, i know it sounds cheaaaaaammm. The catered food was terrible and the fruit punch ran out so fast! i did not even get to drink a 2nd round! We then sat through the graduating cohort's videos and i have to say that i really liked one of them! This guy was writing a story on people that he sees at the bus stop. The characters, Abang Goatie, Mina Tudong, and the Gangsters were hilarious!! I have to say that the person did a fantastic job on the casting and the only thing that was spoiled for me was that the subtitles were at the bottom and i could not read them. [the film was in malay.]

We waited for Gaz to come to Laselle where we walked around for a while and we took a super long time to decide where to eat. In the end, we took a cab to Siglap. That was our intial plan at first until i had a sudden inspiration to go to Simpang Bedok instead... which i thought was rather near Siglap but the drive was quite a distance! Anyway, by the time i got there, i kinda lost my appetite to eat.

When i got up to go to 7-11 to get some panadol for my irritating headache, i walked past this really interesting item on the shelf.

Vibrating condoms.

What the.......... So i went back to our table and reported it to the Longan Gang. Ho and behold, CMI confidently announced, "Come........ let me explain to you..."

Waaaaa... i was thinking, of all people, H.E K.N.O.W.S!!!! hahhahaa.... turns out that there is this ring that is to be attached at the bottom of somewhere and apparently that will do the vibrations. Piangs..... scary lor... By the way, he knows this because he did a packaging design for a local company for... erm, one of these products.

poor beigey [mother chinnie] looks like she has fungus. or rather, i think she has. A small patch of fur around her eyes have dropped out and she had an eye problem since Sunday.... On Monday, she looked fine, so i didn't bring her to the vet. When i came home today, the area around her eye looked kinda bad! Not going to take any chances, and will be bringing her to the vet tomorrow, so gotta take leave... Lucky i have tons of leave left. Haiz.... The poor dear..........

Today was relatively un-exciting. Went to the gym for class, saw Mascara woman's boyfriend pumping weights there, but he didn't recognise me. So it was just me and poddy on the bicycle for a while before the class.......

Feeling kinda sleepy, but don't know if i should watch my CSI discs... or sleep. Hmmmm....

New skin!!

Yes! I have finally changed my boring blogskin.... to something new..... FINALLY. Haha... though it is quite chinchilla-infested.... hehz

naughty chinnie!!!

met up with azzie, who was back in Singapore for like... 2 days?? and i only knew about the meeting one hour before! so here we are... at coffee club outside cali fitness....

azzie and jacq...

one of the chinnies stretching it's hands out.. damn hot lar the weather.......

cutie twin brothers...

my famous chinnie who is always trying to make his escape. now, he seems comfortable sticking his head out and enjoying the breeze or something!

naughty boy.....

The 3 Bunnies night out....

Yes, here i am, ready to write about the 3 Bunnies night out........ Met at orchard MRT and walked to Taka with Bunny for a KFC dinner … we eat what we crave for… and Bunny said that BaBa has been eating too health-ily for her and she can only pig out when she is with us!! Chinki and I went to order our food from this auntie who was quite sweet and patient with our additions and trading up nonsense…. And exchanging the potato for the coleslaw…. And having 3 entirely different drinks. AND requesting for certain parts of the chicken only…………There was a bunch of CJC kids sitting behind us and they were quite noisy.... Made me wonder if I was so noisy when I used to hang out during our JC times.

Anyway, when I came back from washing my hands, Chinki informed me that I had missed something exciting while I was away!! Apparently, the CJC kids behind started a mini food fight, and started throwing coleslaw at each other… and it landed on this guy’s head! As in, a stranger, not one of them!! And that guy didn’t even scold them!! So good tempered ah!! Lucky they said sorry otherwise it would have been terrible. I, on the other hand, feel strongly that throwing coleslaw on someone's head……….. is a totally unforgivable thing. If that had happened to me, I would have scolded them BIG TIME and made such a big din…. So scary. I always scold people one.

It was also Mother’s day present shopping as well. Bunny had an idea of getting nice matching PJs for her mummy cause she would always ask Bunny if her matching PJs were nice………. And Chinki wanted to get a bread toaster for her friend…. I had no idea what to get……. So we wandered around Taka for a while, before we decided to go to Women’s Secret and Mphosis. Bunny had a sudden inspiration to get a small cute bag for her mum cause she is always holding her wallet and hp whenever she drives somewhere. I decided to look for a top in Mango for mummy… Saw a cotton material blouse which I think looks very comfy but it was $49!! I didn’t feel that the price was justifiable for that material so I kept that as an option. By the time Bunny decided to get back to Mphosis to get that bag, it was closed! By then, it was 9.30pm and no where seemed open so we walked over to Swensons at Crown Prince hotel.

While waiting at the halfway traffic light to Crown Prince from Taka, this girl was laughing loudly and walking backwards……… while playing some stupid game or god knows what action with her boyfriend……….. walking backwards mind you, while crossing the road. AAAAANNNNNNDDDD….. she stepped onto my left foot!!!!!!!! She was wearing sneakers you know!!! SO PAINFUL!!!!!! It was so horrendously painful that I yelled really reaaaaaallly reallllllllllllyyyyyyy loudly….. “OOUUCCCCCHHHH!!!!!!!!!!”

My yell was so loud that Chinki and Bunny turned back with an extremely horrified look on their face, and of course not to mention everyone else on the street who heard my OUCH. The girl turned back a few times to apologise and ran far far away from me. I was in so much pain that my face was just a permanently upset for the whole night or something. After we crossed the road, B and C said I still looked very angry and tried to console me………. Chinki then joked that she should have said, [ in her best Ah Lian impersonation ]

“Wah!! You HENG today our Lao Dai in GOOOOOOD mood ok…… She let you off today arrrhh!!!”

We laughed about that for really long until we got into Swensons. But it was only after we got into Swensons that we forgot our intial plan was to go to Chinki’s house to see her 2 dogs!! And her spanking new toilet! So after our dessert, we were off to Chinki’s house… Oh! And at Swensons, I reminded Bunny of how she tried to tell me about her first crush……. Back in Secondary 2, when she used to irritate me everyday…… no lar, not everyday….. LOL. Anyway, she traumatised me for an entire week by telling me that she had something to tell me!! And when I try to get her to tell me what it was, she would say, “No!! I cannot!!!” Pek chek you know. SO she resorted to writing her usual filofax to me annnndd… attaching a small piece of note to it, saying that she liked XXXX!!! And in small print below, to destroy the note immediately. And for some reason, Bunny just totally erased that memory off her mind when I reminded her about it.

Chinki’s new toilet turned out nicer than I thought!! Quite big, and there was an additional sink outside the toilet…. And a mini pantry area!! Complete with a toaster and all the usual tea bags and food!!! Waaah!!! And her sleeping area with her TV and new expensive treadmill!!! Which I did not dare to use in case I fell off. Her old bed [under an existing air well] was completely removed and her study table sits there now….. Pretty cool if you ask me!!

The 3 of us just squeezed into her not queen, yet not king size bed and just lied around like…………. bunnies on the grass. We talked about nonsense and about moving out as well! Then I gave Bunny my power massage and taught her how to massage on the arm as well…. And Chinki and I had a sudden inspiration to write a song about Bunny too!! [BaBa wrote a song for Bunny for their 3rd year together……. Awwwww…… and of course with that silly Gap bag that took so much trouble to get to Singapore!! :D ] So here is our song…. Please tell me if you like it….

Song title : Bunny

Buuuunnny Bunny Bunny………..
Why you so funny….
And you are so holy mol-y……..
And do the Hokey Pokey…..


BABA Loves you!!

Yes, that is our beautiful song for our dear friend of more than a decade…….. Bunny!! We love you!!!!! Keekekekekekekkeke…
Just watched Save the Last Dance’s DVD….. it was not bad, and the show was also more than just dancing. My brother fell asleep halfway through it though…

Oh ya! i got my mummy's gift already! Went back to Mango and found a nice simple blouse for a lower price too.... and some flowers!!! Hope she likes them!

mother's day, CSI and stomach cramps.

this morning, i told my brother to go to the fridge to dig out the flowers that i so expertly kept the night before... and give it to my mum when she was in the kitchen... when he passed it to her, she looked so happy!! Because she thought that my brother bought them ok. Then when i passed her the present, she was like, "Aiyoh!!! Got flowers already... don't need lar!" I was thinking, i buy already le... then u expect me to take it back??? Anyway she opened it and the Mango blouse fits! Thank god... otherwise have to go back and change it.

My new CSI season 4's dvds do not have SUBTITLES!!!! The most important thing for CSI!!!!! AAAAhhh!!!! My life is ruined!!!! So i asked mummy if she has any headphones... and she did!! Wireless one somemore.... But.... after trying to plug it in, we realised that we had to charge the headphones for at least 16 hours!! So i offered to send my brother to school where he was going to study and when i came back, it worked. But halfway through, i had these really really bad stomach cramps!! I was rolling around the sofa again.... and warm water did not help me! So i swallowed my painkillers but it did not help either. So i went to my room and tried to sleep. Still was in a horribly painful stage........ so i decided to sit on my chair and tried to huddle up into a ball. helped for a while, so i went to the kitchen to get some camomile tea. [bunny calls camomile, camimomo for your information. i nearly died.] it definately helped and i managed to sleep for 3 hours!! waaa... crazy lor...

i was just telling bunny that there was something that happened almost 6 years ago around Mother's day that i can never forget. It has been deeply etched in my mind for the longest time. I was with BF No. 1.... also known as..... "Crappy king" because all he did was talk crap 24/7. dont ask me how i liked him. But anyway, we were out 1 day before Mother's Day and i was telling him to get something for both our mums. He agreeded and we saw these really cute mini cakes for $15 [i cant remember where we were though!] and we bought one each for both our mums. When he brought the cake home and gave it to his mum, she was sooooo happy that she hugged and kissed him! Something that she seldom did. And he probably seldom bought or gave his mummy anything too. haha... Anyway, for some reason, i could never forget what he told me. So i concluded after that, that all mummies really love it when their baby sons get them a pressie... be it for Mother's day or whatever occassion. They just get this joy from it. Just like my mum when my brother gave her the flowers... Mothers! : P

What an inspiring Sat afternoon.

The "Terence Conran" book that i bought 3 years ago, never fails to get the creative juices in my brain going... Was stuck with designing a feature wall with ONYX [haha] marble again, and i decided to flip through my old books... After looking through this book, i will always have this sudden urge to design a residential project... re-invent the space and design the unique details..... which i feel i do not get to do in this office. And today, i have that sudden urge again. It's the magic of this book... I dunno why. Love the projects in this book... they are not the typical modern "shiny" designs u see everywhere in books or magazines nowadays, but designs that i will still appreciate after 20 years or so. Others may feel nothing when they see this book, but i just imagine the spatial quality in these projects, and it gets me excited to start designing again. I have always felt that my passion for design has disappeared over the years, and i will forget how wonderful designing can be. Certain distractions or events get me away from designing and now, i truly hope that i am getting back this passion that i have lost over the years...... slowly. I guess this is something that i have not come to terms with, about my passion. for designing and other aspects of life. i feel i waste too much time thinking about wu-liao things in life and i forget to ask myself what do i really want to do in life. YES!!! I feel the magic coming back to me!! What an inspiring Saturday morning!! Afternoon i mean.................

Ok, maybe most won't understand what i am talking about in the above mentioned, but i think it's something i need to write down, so that when i lose my footing again later, i can always have this post to remind me. : )

Today i have no Grand Plans to go out anywhere with anyone, despite being a Saturday, so it's going to be some "Me" time which i do enjoy once in a while. I do like to go shopping alone, with no restrictions and being carefree... truly happy. And do some reflection on the bus rides with my poddy blasting away in the background........... I think that's what Sag-gies enjoy the most. Their freedom. Without it, it's like.................. a chinchilla stuck in a cage. So, after this, im going to get a cheap manicure [waste money i know but i like ok!!], go to city hall get some flowers for mummy for mother's day, and her present. and hopefully hit the gym for body balance at 4.10pm. With no one to go to class with me, i tend to be lazy and not go...

I MUST NOT LOSE THIS PASSION!! It cannot slip through my fingers again!!! Wahahahahahahaha............. oh, and i must remind myself to write about the 3 Bunnies outing last night. So classic our outings.....

Longan gang outing again.....

Last night I met up with the usual people from the Longan gang… Ah zai asked if anybody wanted to meet up but we could not decide where to go. Ah Zai was sick of the usual expensive and boring food in town, so he was open to suggestions. Even to go to Tampines to find CMI, who was in TP’s library. I didn’t know that you can sign up to access the TP Library… In the end, CMI told us to meet in Siglap. I refused to take the super long bus ride from my office alone, so I went to town to meet Ah Zai first. The bus journey was rather cold and he was telling me that he wanted to get a nice $90 jacket from NUM at the Hereen, and dunno made up of what stylo soft material… And dunno why he didn’t get it in the end. The bus ride was a little unfamiliar to me as the windows in the bus were all fogged up and it was very misty outside. Thought we were going to miss our stop and end up at Bedok Interchange ok.

During the bus ride, Ah Zai whipped out a small packet of Famous Amos cookies… while both of us were munching on a cookie, one of the nuts inside his cookie rolled out and fell to the floor…. To which he said, “Oh no……… I lost a nut….” I was trying so hard not to laugh too loudly… so I offered him some water to drink. He nearly spilled the water on himself because the bus suddenly jerked… “And now, I nearly wet myself…….” I think the person next to me must be controlling her laughter so much…………

When we reached Siglap, we met up with CMI but we again, could not decide what to eat, so we walked around and we finally decided on Canadian Pizza……. Which was across the road. I tried to lead the rest by jay walking but I decided against it as it was too dangerous. As I walked to the traffic light, I told them, “I don’t want to die before I eat!”

I realized shortly that I was talking rubbish, then CMI and I tried to re-phrase my sentence in the correct way, but it turned out even worse…. Felt quite bimbo actually. It turned out that the Canadian Pizza across the road was only for deliveries and no dine in…. So backfire. In the end, CMI made a rather good suggestion to eat at a nice quiet North Indian fast food style place. Except that the waiters will serve us the food. For some reason, when the 3 of us walked into the place, most of the patrons turned to look at us! I think we look weird??? Dunno… anyway, a nice friendly waiter gave us the menu and asked if we needed help. We felt HERO so we said no thanks and that we will order later. But in the end, the 3 of us just stared at the menu and didn’t know what to order! I only saw the Naan and the chicken masala…. Wanted to look for the mashed spinach with cottage cheese, but it wasn’t on the menu… [actually they have it lar, but must ask for it. ] So the friendly waiter came back and asked if we needed help again…. This time we were too happy to.

So our dinner consisted of :

Chicken Masala
1 Butter Naan and 1 Naan stuffed with some food
Chicken Briyani
Some crispy thing with yogurt sauce

CMI, Ah Zai and I shared all that and I had my mango lassi of course… heh heh… Taste just like a super thick mango flavoured Vitagen… CMI kept stating the obvious last night for some reason… first, he pulled out a carpet sample which had some lines…. Then he said, “This carpet is very nice…….. because it has all these lines running across it…..”

Ah Zai went, “Isn’t that obvious?? We can clearly see that for ourselves, Susie…..”

Later on, his orange juice was overflowing out of his tiny glass. After looking up from his work, he did it again……..”Oh! Oh!! My orange juice is overflowing out of my glass!”

I just slapped my hand against my forehead. Waited for Gaz to appear and when he did, he ordered a platter of kebabs and a butter naan…. And he ordered that dessert which I had at Riverside Tandori… the one that tasted like some condensed milk dessert…. And the bill came up to $40 including Gaz’s share!! Which was pretty cheap when you divide it 4 ways…

Our next destination was “The Cheesecake Cafe”… I’ve always wanted to go there but for some reason, I never get there. But we had to sit outside because someone wanted to smoke…. Hmmph! :P I was too full to order any cakes or even drinks so I just sampled everyone’s drinks and drank water. We yakked about everything again and I suddenly asked them about their PSLE aggregate… Everyone kept saying that their aggregate was very low, but mine was the lowest!! Ah Zai had an astronomical amount of 267 or something along that line…….. While mine was 200… Why har???? Why is my PSLE aggregate so low… hmm…

Mr Bedok came to join us halfway and both of us went to the toilet at the same time. On the way to the end of the shophouse, Mr Bedok spotted 2 of his friends and went to chat with them… On the way back, he was holding his laptop and walking back to his friends. I was thinking, Har?? Thought u wanted to go toilet?? Heehee… By 11.30pm, we were contemplating how to get home and took a cab with CMI and Ah Zai. When Ah Zai told the cab driver to go faster on the Nicoll Highway, he just commented something about the speed limit at 70km/h. Then when asked to go to City Hall MRT station instead of Dohby Ghaut, he nearly overshot!! Haiyoh….. Lousy…

Going to meet Bunny in a few hours to get a Mother’s Day gift for our mummies and of course…. My free entertainment for the week.... *winks*

Rain rain....

Office is now in pieces…. Literally. Because the workers has packed and dismantled most of the built in cabinets here… These workers are apparently from Burma, and they seem to work fast with a good work attitude. One of them, who we co-ordinate the moving with, is called JoJo. He speaks and understands English very well. However, on the first day when he came to pack the things, I instructed him to help us pack our stationeries into these bags. But he started telling me that I have to call my boss, to tell his boss who will then, in turn tell him what to do. I got blur halfway, and I tried to ask him whether he needed to rush off. Again, the same thing, he just kept saying something about calling my boss to call HIS boss. Hahahaha… Meow and I were laughing and we found out that they will only take orders from THEIR boss. Ahhhhhhh…. I see. Cheeeeeeeaaammmm……….

Yes!! It is finally raining!! After such a long time!! And luckily im not caught in the middle of it. Happy to be indoors, with rain outside. Hee….

Had a super funny dream last night. About my chinchillas. I dreamt that I woke up and went about doing my daily morning routine… and feeding the chinchillas after I brushed my teeth. When I went to their cage, the bars [stainless steel bars!!] were bitten apart and they have escaped! I then saw 2 of them sitting on top of my piano [which is next to the cage] and one black chin still in the cage! The other one [aka the one who likes to try to escape] was running wildly around the house!! After which, I then woke up and realized that it was just a silly dream… when I went to their cage to check, the one who likes to escape was lying flat next to the porcelain boxes… looking very tired. My air con must have been a little too cold for me to get such a dream.

Ah meow just ran to me to say that, “I just realized that today is a VERY special day!!!” Her eyes as wide as a goldfish.

“And why is that so???!” I asked back as enthusiastically.

“BECAUSE! Today’s date is 05-05-05!!”

…………………….. ahhh… I see….

I think these workers moving the furniture to our new office are the same workers who did Chinki’s new toilet…. Super contractors. Haha…

Today meow was very clever.....

finally went to the new gym outlet at One George Street... The view by the pool side was just breathtaking....... will definately go to the pool there to hang out and drink tea or something... provided got kahkis to hang with lar...

Decided to ask Miffy to come along to join me for the Pilates class at 740pm, but as usual, i forgot to bring the guest pass. so i had to call the gym to tell them about miffy. When we got there, it turned out that there was a new policy that a consultant has to talk to my guest. But after sitting down for barely 5 mins, i told the poor guy that we had to rush off for the class... as we walked past the workout room, i saw the cute butt instructor on stage... and i whispered to miffy that he is the cute one and to look out for him. After we changed and walked into class, it turned out that CBI [Cute Butt Instructor] was taking over the pilates class instead, and replacing with body balance class! cause the usual instructor went for some course in Sydney... woohooo! hahahha.

It's been so bloody long since i went for any sort of exercise, and i think my sense of balance also went haywire as well! Anyway, just tried my best and felt a tight sensation through my injured ankle but luckily it was nothing..... and for some funny reason, 3/4 of the people in class were wearing the free t-shirts from the gym!! And all i saw in front of me was a white sea with the words, "Fitness First" flashing at me!! Both Miffy and i were pretty amused by that, and we both insisted on taking the pretty pink yoga mats. hee.

CBI made us do some "stunts" that didnt seem to be possible but it turned out alright in the end..... we also tried the steam and the suana... the suana was super hot and i felt so breathless, so i hurried out cause i thought i was going to die of dehydration. so we went to the steam bath next. after sitting in there for a while, this huge burst of steam came out and totally covered the entire room! Again, i felt like i could not breathe, so we went out for a while. when the mist died down, we went in again. i think the girl inside thought that we were mad.

So after our bath, Miffy was enquiring about the prices to join, and in the end, she enquired at the counter as well. The receptionist pulled out the sales guy again and explained everything to her... and to my pleasant surprise, she joined on the spot! Now i have a new gym kahki!! heeheeheeee............

Today ah meow was very clever. She has this habit of putting her handphone holder NEXT to her drinking cup, and she superbly "dunked" her beautiful Nokia phone right into her cup!! I dunno what is the handphone model, but its the one with the 1.0 megapixel camera in it. And it was happily soaking in there for a good 5-10mins... before she realised it!! I heard this shriek from her table and i walked over to see her dismantling her phone apart....... sounds familiar?? just like that time when my gameboy went "swimming" in my waterproof interior bag. haha.. she was clearly traumatised for a long time and her phone could not be switched on.... or rather, the only thing that appeared was the NOKIA logo....... poor thing........

I saw my chinchilla trying to make his escape last night!! His whole head was sticking out of this 3.2cm x 10cm gap in the cage!! When i screamed, "What do you think you are doing?!!" the guilty fella just squeezed his head back quickly and scurried to some corner of the cage. I tell u ah, this guy is forever trying to make his escape. Dunno where he want to run to.

The other day at work, my boss told me to set up a perspective, cause Meow was on MC that day. When she told me that, and that is was urgent, i was like, "No shit....... I have not drawn a bloody MANUAL perspective in years!! How am i going to survive this!!" So i was staring at the blank piece of butter paper for a while, before i decided to look through some of meow's completed perspectives. After staring at it for a looooonng time, i searched through the dusty archives in my head for that time she taught me how to draw... using the scale ruler and by the correct proportion. I was drawing the set up.... set up only from 2-6pm...... yes, thats a damn long time, but its been......... 3 and a half years or more since i did any manual perspective!! When i was fnally done with it, i felt a little accomplished. I know, its nothing to be feeling good about, but i have conquered the stupid hurdle!! Siao......... Meow was half expecting me to call her to ask how to draw, but she felt that i could try to figure it out............. hehz.

heehee

Dildo song!! hahhahaha!!

Blink Blink.......

What a weekend… On Saturday, I decided to go for the Finals of Mr Singapore to support Mr Bedok and pay a wonderful $25… since I had no exciting plans for the weekend. So I asked Gaz if we should get flowers for him, and guess what?? Gaz made 1 A1 and A0 size banner for Mr Bedok! So sweet right…

Had a free High Tea with my parents at Hotel Phoenix’s coffee house [so Tai Tai right, high tea… haha] at 3.30pm. Our whole family was starving till then because all we had before that was a bowl of fishball noodles at 8.30am!! The high tea was not bad…. Lots of people were queing up for the prata, and I managed to grab one piece only and lots of curry!!! Hhahaa…And for some reason, the fried bee hoon was not bad… the food there somewhat made me feel like I was in some friend’s house… as in, like party food u know?? The chocolate cake dessert was gone half and hour after the high tea started…

We went back to the carpark afterwards and apparently, my mum took the cashcard out of the cashcard machine and placed it on the pull out tray, so that my dad could take it when he reached the barrier downstairs. However, when we reached the exit, the cashcard was gone!! So there was a frantic and chaotic situation where all of us were practically pulling the car apart and checking under the carpets. After 10 mins of that, the missing cashcard was no where to be found. I think my mum dropped it outside the car, but my parents didn’t think so. Luckily my mum had another cashcard and we managed to get out of the Specialist Centre carpark. She even asked the security guard if she could use her EZ link card!! I so wanted to throw myself off the 3rd storey.

Anyway, Ah zai was supposed to pass me his Mr Singapore ticket cause he realized that he was supposed to watch Film Fest with his tall friend, Matilda, as he had mixed up the timings for both the events!! But………. It turned out that Mat, had mixed up the date for the event! The film fest was actually the day before!! So poor thing… so Ah Zai had to re-instate the property of his ticket and I had to get mine at the door.

The event was held at the Glass Pavilion at Far East Square, the same place that Uncle Ariff held his wedding many years ago. Apparently, their wedding was the first to be held there.. The pageant turned out to be quite formal, and I was super casually dressed. The heat was killing me and I refused to wear jeans or anything longer than short sleeves. When the event started, we were killed by an overdose of the advertisements from the sponsors. The Clear White advertisement was horrible too.. although Sylvester endorsed it.

Poor Mr Bedok did not get into the Top Ten at all… We were so sad, despite none of us wanting to hold up the banners. I wanted to leave when they announced the Top Ten, but cannot lar. Waste my $25. The MC, was terrible. He was purposely accentuating certain words and had zero sense of humor. When they showed a close up of his face on the big screen behind, his face looked really oily! The sarcastic guy suddenly nudged me,

“Eh, Denise, you got tissue or not??”

“Huh...... Why??!”

“His face very oily lar… must wipe…”

On my other side, Ah Zai and Gaz were saying that his face looked like a kwali… [correct spelling??] I thought Mr Punggol was a sure to win, but it turned out that he didn’t even get into the Top 5!! You could see how shocked he was when they did not announce his name… When he did his catwalk, he had a super cocky face that said, Im going to win this….. YEAHHHHH….. Mr Bedok not in the Top 10, so we all bitch about the rest lor……. Mr Hougang was looking very good and I didn’t even realize it was him because I could not recognize him!! I thought he looked really bad in the Mr Singapore website!!

After they announced the winner, we could not stand the MC any longer, so we hurriedly left and took photos with Mr Bedok behind the Glass Pavillion. Walked to Lau pa sat for a late dinner [I could not eat.. still full from high tea…] and Mr Bedok was very upset over something…. After he cooled off, Gaz forced me to go for Karaoke at Apollo Centre! I was fine with it, as long I did not need to sing or dance. Hahahaha… And we walked allllllllllllll the way to Apollo Centre!! Lucky I was not wearing my heels.. if not I sure kill him one.

Everyone was such a good singer and only me and Sacastic guy did not sing.. Looks like Saggies are bad singers. Haha! Ok, anyway, Gaz could really hit the high notes man... Watched a lot of music videos and extremely cheesy ones too. So porn star the models! Nearer the end, Donovan came and sang a few songs… He sang this malay song very well!! So impressed. So fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese… and now can sing Malay songs!! Waaa… and now… I think Jay Chou songs are not bad… provided its not Jay singing it. Also learnt a new word, “Cinta Kita” I think!! Which means, Our love…….. Cinta being love. And Kita is our… Whenever I kept seeing a word or phrase being repeated like, 10 times in the song, I will ask my translator next to me…

Mr Bedok could really sing the super emotional Malay songs man……. And he was also the extra backing vocals for some songs…. Ah Zai and CMI tried to irritate me with Mariah Carey’s songs [they know that I hate her!!] but luckily, they chose “One Sweet Day” which happens to be a song I like actually… hahaha… And one other song, which I cant remember… CMI chose Beyonce’s Crazy in Love for Ah Zai, but it turned out to be the music video which I apparently have not seen!! So hopeless me… And I was shocked at her dance moves!! So scary! I thought she was going to break her leg or something ok! Then she looked like she was wearing just lingerie in one scene… wooo… Ah Zai ended the song by dancing to the last dance sequence of the video for us……. Kekekkeke…

I got hungry halfway and we could not find any place for supper still open then…. So we walked to this place opposite Bras Basah!! Nearly died when I reached there…… Turned out that there was no food available, so we walked to this 24hr place opposite Sunshine Plaza… I thought my legs and stomach were going to give way halfway…… The food wasn’t too good but at least I had something inside my stomach…. Ugh.

Poor Mr Bedok said that he lost 6 kg in 2 weeks just for this pageant!! And he had to be a little dehydrated so that his muscles will be more defined!! Oh my god….. I now see them in a different light…….

Just collected my new free trial of Toric soft lens… It fits fine… but my eyes dry up very easily… so its getting blur now…. The optician told me to blink my eyes more often!! Ok…. Blink….. Blink……. Blink……………..
