I am a Very Happy Girl Today

Yes, because it's the weekend and i can tear my silly mask off and be all ME!!!!.....Didn't have class today so decided to spend the day with Gabbie before the pause as i get on with my mugging.....We had a line of activities for the day. It may sound boring to you but it was a really fulfilling and exciting day for me already (Tks Gabbie, this is all i ask for).

We began our day at 8am with Gabbie picking me up from my home.....had breakfast with me at Suntec (coz i got work, half day)...and we had

Ya Kun Kaya Toast

which i have a craving for so long.....

Gabbie had the french toast set and I had the kaya toast set..

(Gosh, i look so pale....sorrie.....)

After which, we parted. Gabbie went to run his errands and me off to office. Meet back at 12pm and off to catch 'Imagine Me & You'.



Rated R21, Matured Theme. Coz it's about lesbian. This gal who married a guy and later fell in love with another gal. Gabbie felt so bored the whole and i felt so bad asking him to watch this show. Hmmm, it's not recommended to watch coz i also felt it was quite boring and most importantly i don't British accent. So it's a no no for me. 2 out of 5 popcorns.

After the movie, we went to have late lunch. Nothing would miss our mind with Wasabi Tei....as we were at Lido for our movie so why not.....without hesitation off we go.

What we had today


Salmon sashimi is the usual....we added Swordfish this time....it was nice too....the feeling was crunchy though.....felt like as if you were eating water chestnut and pork...haha....main course i had Saba set and Gabbie had Tempura Udon.....the soup was maverl-deli-cious....

After dinner, we kinda went on a hunting mission.....Mission to locate the Project Shop cafe (PS cafe) at Harding Road which i get to know of from Nick's blog.....As i was so in love with the PS cafe in Paragon.....this one is a die die must find mission.

This pic taken off Nick's blog....(Nick sorry i kapo-ed your pic, hope you don't mind...hey it's the first time im trying something that you put up in your blog!!)

First off.....we went into the road which says 'Ministry of Foreign Affairs' (as directed in Nick's)


went all the way in and we finally found the place...

but Gabbie was too quick to make a turn and i couldn't a clear shot of the cafe.

Gabbie and I decided to have dinner here for my birthday since i like PS cafe so much.....yay!...till then i'll take more pics of the place when the time comes.

On our way in and out...

Top 2 pics are warehouses....now unused....bottom 2 pics....looks like a church so i took a pic of it....

And finally we are out of that bumpy and winding road....the cafe is quite deep in....so i guess driving is the only transport in...


All good things have to come to an end......and it's time to go home....

As Little India was having a slight jam.....and i spotted something....

Nah!...it's not some UFO or what....it's that DHL hot air balloon at Bugis there....so i was trying to take a snap of it.....

and there are more decorations at the other side of Little India....


Finally, Home Sweet Home.

Thanks baby for a wonderful day today....and sorry for scare-ring you 3 times while you were driving today.....I promise to be a quiet-ter passenger next time okay?....... :p

I am a Happy Girl Today!

Yet another Wednesday

Another Wednesday has come and gone......third day of the week....i'm coping along and getting the hang of my observant behaviour......Observing is a good habit to develop....it enables one to know thy enemy.....Sometimes i feel bad wearing this mask but i have no choice.....the reality is harsh to me and so i have only this way to protect myself.

Some points i gotta take note:-

no matter how unhappy i am, i still gotta smile as if nothing has happened. (Though im a straight forward person, if im unhappy i simply juz can't smile, can you?)

blend into the topic juz to earn points for PR-ing. (I can chat up with anyone, but if that person have some attitude problem, that's it.....don't expect me to joke with you.)

blind leading the blind. Just do as told coz one thing is for sure, do the right is wrong, do wrong thing is also wrong. Whichever way, just do it lah. (I just want to do things right, but whatever i do is wrong, even if it's instruction taken by you.)

That's so much for my observation for the past three days.

Arrr.......

Walked over to New Park Hotel for dinner this evening with my parents, i was standing at the traffice light so tried to take a pic of the deepavali light up.



There was a jam on mon while gabbie was sending me home after work...


Eyes closing. Swimming tml. Gotta head to bed soon.

Ciao.

Mask-es

Sometimes i really wonder how many mask we wear in our daily lives?....It really amuses me by the number of mask one can wear to wriggle through life.

Last whole week been a really really tough week at work.....some may know the exact 'story', some part of the 'story', some don't know anything.......now i really understand the true meaning of being backstabbed, not in a cruel way but in a hurtful way.....it's always hurtful to know the truth not from the origin but from other source....there's nothing i can do at the moment...just wait and see....

Today i came in to office with a weary heart.....i try not to be so believing but be on guard.....i do more observation on each and every persons just to protect myself.....i tone down my talks, laughters, jokes and lameness.....they asked me upteen times if i'm alrite.....i juz answered "yes" quietly.

Friends around me. Please tell me if my interpersonal skills is bad. I want nothing but the truth.


How do i survive to put on different mask from now on?

HuH

My mood haven't been up to my optimum lately....been bloody(excuse for the use of words, i felt this best describe me now) moody this week......yesterday was absolutely not my day.........i was super pissed with wat my mgr said to me......but i still gotta put up a brave front in hjer presence.......it's so diffcult for me to even smile when i see her.....

coming up with some strategies to deal with it.

Some retail therapy shall help a little....goin to check out some swim suits later for my constant swimming lately.

When the path for me will be cleared?

Rules for Being Human

This caught my attention in a bulletin so decided to share.

Here it goes:

1. You will receive a body - You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.

2. You will learn lessons - You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to have experiences and learn lessons. You may or may not like the experiences and you might even think they are irrelevant or stupid.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons - Growth is a process of trial, error and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the experience as the experiment that ultimately "works".

4. A lesson is repeated until learned - A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learnt it. When you have done this, you can then have another lesson that challenges you.

5. Learning does not end - There is no part of life that does not contain lessons, even if you have forgotten this is human. When you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better place than "here" - When your "there"has become a "here" you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here".

7. Others are merely mirrors of you - You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself. That is illusion.

8. What you make of your life is up to you - You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie inside you - The answers to Life's questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

10. You will forget all these.

Does it means sense to you?......some doesn't to me.....

------------------------------------------------

On saturday conincidentally Mingli is in sch with Ash.....so we decided to head on to have dinner together.....and guess wat!?!?!?.....Ash agreed to have Wahsabi Tei.....hahaah......

Mingli and me is like 2 bangala sitting at the back of Gabbie's van and ash took the front seat with gabbie as the driver.....

We waited quite long coz the pple inside juz took ages to eat......but it was worth the wait...as always.....ash and mingli share a salmon sashimi and me and gabbie too......after which mingli and i decided to have another plate of salmon sashimi......that was heavenly......

after dinner we went separate ways as we have other errands to run....

That's about it......there goes my weekend.......

Sometimes.. ..

Spending some time alone isn't a bad thing afterall.....

For the past two days been swimming alone, yesterday and today.....did 20 laps yesterday (which is a great achievement for me) and 14 only today coz i wasn't in a good mood.

Strangely, while i was swimming....many thoughts went through my mind....weird~!

Anyways, my exam timetable come out. Will have to start mugging early this sem. I got no time to waste.

Leave you with me, after today's swim.



I'm not trying to act pro....i wear a swimming cap becoz i want to protect my hair.....hehe

I think i gotta get back with my yoga too.....been wasting my fees for the past few months.

Random

Once again it's wednesday again.....nothing much to talk abt except that going to work is so troublesome this week.....coz if the IMF thingy....causing road blocks and stuff....im slightly affect only on the days where i don't swim coz if i swim i'll reach suntec around 6.50am, traffic is still slow then.

Heard from the radio on cartunes with Jean and Rod:

R: Ask me how am i?

J: How are you?

R: IMF

J: What's IMF?

R: I M Fine

J: -_-", i thought I M Farting.

Hahahahahahaa!!!!

Anyways a quick update on food.

B: Steam Soon Hock, Asparagus with mushroom

Quite nice decor....seems classy....

Sorry is a little bur coz my hands shoke quite a bit.

The 'seafood' displays




After lunch's joke:

I was at the pantry, felt like eating bananas. So i plucked 1. My colleague, Christina, called out to get 1 for her too.

At my desk, i peeled off the skin of the banana right to the bottom, and my banana fell apart. 3/4 of the banana fell on the table.

i went... ...

M: My banana broke!!!!

C: WHAT?!?!?!?!

(Turns and look at me, started laughing out loud.)

C: I thought what happened la.. ..

M: It's too soft.

C: -_-"

After dinner we went on to The Cheesecake Cafe at East Coast Road....

we made our way there with the help of Mao's GPRS in his car......and can you believe it....it hanged halfway through the journey....so we paused for like 5 mins waiting for it to start up again with our hazard lights blinking at the side of the road.....




While waiting for our desserts....

The 3 ladies


Raymond amusing us again

It's Mid-Week

I insist on using the title i allocated for yesterday coz blogger died on me.....juz wouldn't let me post my entry......i'll have my go today again....

was trying to say that i like wednesdays too coz soon i'll will be the weekend once again....tomorrow will be meeting wendy and clique to have a belated birthday celebration for her.....at least one thing to look forward to and i can still squeeze my time out.....

Yesterday was in a dressy mood so i was juz brainstorming of what to wear on friday and wat shoes to match....therefore search through my shoe rack for matching shoes.....and i come across a old shoe box.....opened up and saw my beloved ballet shoes still kept nicely over the years.....and i start taking it out one by one.....

Here's a snap shot of it...


Now here's prove....hiak......when i tell people....they seem to give me a stunned look.......im not kidding okay!...it was my dream actually but my dad stopped me when i was to reach the stage to put on pointed shoes.....took some time to recover at that time....but i got over it.....

Anyways, what's past is past.....today i resumed my swimming and only did 14 laps today.....slack.....

Im gonna turn in early tonite.....to await war in the office and battle at assignments....

Coming back Slow

I'm recovering from some mental retardation-ness.....gosh!!!....i don't know what am i crapping too....but im glad i've handed in my audit project which i worked on for 1 WHOLE week....rush home like mad every evening to work on it....and took mc on friday to have the whole day to complete it.....Thanks to my parents and gabbie....and other pals who supported me and tolerating my moody-ness the past few weeks....

finally have a sigh of relieve yesterday as i throw my completed assignment into the piegon hold at the ground floor of the school.....

after my lesson i went down town to catch Monster House.....initially i thought it was a comedy.....but end up i find the storyline quite lame......Overall experience: 2 out of 5 popcorns



After the movie, gabbie and i spent some quiet time Secret Garden.......we had apple crumble and ice tea......i still like the ambience of the place since the last time i was there.....but i kinda hate the music they play and the price went up a little....hmmm.....so i may not go back there anytime soon.....

Was scanning thru a site and saw Linsay Lohan's new hair colour.....was like tempted to have that too......


Brunette? Hmmm.




I'll be back for more....

Stay tuned.
