back to office today

@1145am!!!

i bet my neighbors muz be wondering y they have sucha slack-ass neighbor :)

had a hard time waking up in the morning cos the weather was so cool to snuggle back into the covers..bt i had a lunch appointment w the tomato team which was arranged well b4 i was forced on toil since tues..

bumped into *beep* while i was exiting the gantry. he juz had an interview at my company. Jumping from one shithole to another. haha
but my shithole is better. culture here is gooodz :)

met a coupla peeps in office n chat up qt abit while emailing and waiting for the replies...

bot a sweeet n heart warming hot chocolate cos the weather was coooooold today *winkz*


had a long but good n fulfiling day yesterday. kickstarted w badminton from 1-3pm, followed by sakae buffet, countless barbie Uno games and a scary movie to end the day :)

tt din scare the shit outta me cos i slept well the whole nite. ok. not reallie well. cos i had some weird dreams of me quarrelling w someone...
:'( :''( :'''(
those tears reallie flowed while i was still sleeping.. n i woke up w a reddish right eye this morning n was bespectacled the whole day..

**bad dreams go away**

toil toil toil

yes..

i seem to be forever on toil. and tts cos my stafftrek is empty n for every monday each week til the peak arrives, my RMT will pick out a few lucky (or unlucky, depending on hw u see it) ones to FORCE them to go on toil~!

i wldn hav felt sooo unlucky if not for my near NEGATIVE toil balance!! (FYI: toil balance is earned frm OT hrs clocked in during working days ie peak, so every time we take toil, we r deducting frm our toil balance)

:(

the worst thing is the fact tt we were FORCED to go toil frm today til the end o this week.

n not to mention tt i had already booked toil for whole of next week. (FYI: toil tt r booked by us is WILLING toil. not FORCED toil)

so effectively, i ll be rotting for 1.5 weeks!!

YAY~! :)
but was forced... !!! :X

well, to the good part ------------------------------------------->

THREATENING email came at 10am.... so J & I went for breakfast (bf) break... n it was YAKUN frm ~10am till 12pm :) :)

then we hit town for some strenuous exercise, SHOPPING!! :) well, if u are thinking how lucky i am to be able to go on toil AND breakfast AND shopping AND stil get paid, think again. My pockets r screaming for attention!!

**sees 2 wings kiaped to my dollars flying away**

these r the new additions:
4 tops
(1 pink, 1 brown n green, 1 blue, i brown. i AM seeing a VARIETY of colors now, so its NOT ALWAYS pink n purple ok??)

1 skirt
(white n brown. now i nid to get a YELLOW top to go w it)

1 adidas as present for a leaving colleague
(shared purchase. gift somemore. so not counted)

1 (ANOTHER) pair of shoes :)
(cream)
i know i KNOW u GUYS stil do NOT udst why girls nid soooo many pairs of shoes!! i can try explaining to u, bt i cant triumph over the ONE trait tt nature has generously bestowed on men: stupidity. SO, i shall not TRY.
plus understanding wldn change anything. you will stil hav to accompany e girl to buy those shoes. ;)

gamed for: a bad. tomoro afternoon w the KNS n JB gang :)

**i think our gang name sounds cooool**

off to sleep
nitezz

sthg interesting from my Dongguan trip awhile ago (beginning of July, on way to guangzhou airport) :)
one lorry carrying 10 lorries on its back!!! 

the left n the right side of the table. we were playing TYPO and rat-a-tat-cat!!!!! 

along the singapore river... 

the cassata siciliana, pannacotta, tiramisu, baba, preziosa, weili, dia, sq, cyn, qian, ling n serO 

wife's glutinous balls

the 3 days of toil got me the following:

Wednesday
a red n black m)phosis top

Thursday
a set of adidas running wear (actually was reserved on monday la)
met up serO for a plate of char kway tiao MAI HUM (mai hum mai hum mai hum.... if u DO NOT know wat i m humming, pls visit MrBrown's webbie for HIS latest podcast~!). OK. this 2nd part is rubbish cos i JUZ CANT get the song outta my head~!!!

Friday
a dress for Zan's wedding

:) :) :)

and a few episodes of AH WANG XIN ZHUAN

it's a goood thing cos i got inspired by AH WANG's lao po tang yuan (aka mango tang yuan)
and hence bought my mango juice and mangoes earlier for making my mango tang yuan tomoro :)
shall do a post if it turns out gooooood... if not, DON'T ask

it's a bad thing cos i ll have to find guinea pigss *hiak hiak*
but shdn be a BIG problem cos i have no lack of those @ home!! :)

friday

My FRIDAY = ENG ie FREEeeee =)
My accomplishment so far:

room is half packed...digged out old clothes to throw/sell @ flea mkt (if it ever happens)/sell to garang guni

i think 1 and 3 sounds more feasible... =)

new lil twin stars bedsheet went into the washing machine this morning n is currently out in da sun... been kept in the cupboard ever since my hk trip... n i juz realised, after i took it out today, tt it might not fit cos it looks like a freaaaaaakin single instead of the super single tt i had asked for. and the quilt cover cant be machined cos the cover n the cotton r sewn together!!! this wasn what the lady showed me when i purchased my bedsheets!! the cover is supposed to be removable frm the quilt so tt i can wash my cover~!!!
tt evil business lady... haiz... i shd hav chked my purchases..

watched the last few episodes of AH WANG XIN ZHUAN...
in the xin zhuan, ah wang's family sells tang yuan (instead of lao po bing in the gu dai version)
and he made a xiang4 yue4 liang4 yi2 yang4 da4 de4 LAO PO TANG YUAN - mango flavor~!!! (instead of the xiang yue liang yi yang da de LAO PO BING~!!)
ahhaahah!!! so funny~!!

made a reservation for KTV tonite... =)
2 schooling, 2 working... so left the eng me to do the booking... =)
this ktv was pushed fwd frm last sat after JB trip... cos J n I were too tired.. n KK's attempt to trick us there failed =)

a lil blue note chucked into e wallet unknowingly cos of the burst hp bill
which revealed its existence when there was nomore cash to pay for the cable car ride back to mainland.. =)

a sidenote: i still prefer the ocean park cable car ride cos of the longer distance n the steeper slope

sentosa on friday was BAD cos of the passing showers. so we had to pack everything to move into the shelter when it rained, n return back to the sand, open up the mat, settle dwn when the shower passed only to pack up AGAIN when it rained. this happened TWICE. bth

BUT juz when we decided to head for sakae buffet, it became SUNNY all over again. !!! BUT tummy was toooo bloated after all the food n wasn in a verrrrrry pleasing state to be seen in a bikini again.. grrrrr

luckily the buffet n 'pirates' at the 4D magix cinema made up for everything =)
was almost 'blown away' by the wind when the ship started sailing... n was 'bitten' by some crabs on the sand... n got the whole face splashed w water as the baddie captain was dragged down the sea!! COOL~!

way cooler than superman at omni theatre. but its more expensive tho. 16 bucks for 20 min of entertainment =)
islanders get $4.10 off tho =)

fri work was GRRRREAT~!!!
i msn-ed
numerous emails were sent to my jiemeis to organise sat's bdae celeb for ws n wl, i decided to bring them to villa bali =)
checked out the i/r for the diff banks
went for teabreak w 2 fave snrs - i ordered ONE FULL yakun meal while my TWO snrs shared ONE meal. n they asked me why i was so different frm J (who had teabreak w them the previous day n who ate v little). so i decided to offer them 2 pieces of my beloved toast =)



went to the ai qing hai on friday night n checked out the menu.... according to somebody, the drinks there act kind of like hints to the other party..

n i juz checked: a passion drink means FOREVER FRIENDS

so in case u go ai qing hai w somebody who READS TOO MUCH into tt drink menu, PLS order ur drinks carefully. you DO NOT want to mislead him/her~!!

=)

likewise, if theres this person whom u realllie like n u wish to drop hints to, can bring him/her to this place n order sthg like strawberry n lychee which means tgt forever or sthg
provided tt person has a high EQ =)



brot my jiemeis to Villa Bali on sat nite... cool place w nice ambience.
they offer Indian, Thai and Italian food.

the pasta we ordered was nogood.
but the thai food was GREAT~!!
a pity we din get our satay tt nite... we were only told tt chicken satay wasn available TWO HOURS after we placed our orders!! bad service! but they offered a replacement on the house. so we did. and had breaded dory fish. it s nice.... but its stil NOT satay..

of cos, the best thing was the company =)
nth beats tt =)

looking fwd to monstering @ ws hse and/or a sentosa b4 the 19th.
dear girl jetting off then =(
for ano 5 yrss..
