Diet Mission

20th January 2009, Tuesday

Seriously, I need to go on diet..

Should i say, i am glad that i have wonderful friends, that being so honest to tell me that i look like dumpling (粽子) when i wear fit clothing (suppose to be fit, but apparently it became tight), and i look like ~pregnant~ when i wear loose clothing... sigh.. Should i be happy??? Hm~~~

I know i have to go on diet.. this is my mission & vision for year 2009!! but.. can i wait till after cny??? argh.... so stress.. stress of work, stress of diet.. stress.. stress.. life is never easy!!!

Btw, to share little joke of mine today -- After working hard half day, I went out happily, hunting for food during lunch hour. Ok, decided to have malay food, restaurant next to my office.. While queuing for my turn, my boss came into the restaurant.. smiling at me, ordered his food (ordering fried rice/noodle no need to queue up).. Couldn't be bother him so much, i was purely attracted by the food in front of me.. Yeah!! is my turn!! hm... ordered vege & egg, should i choose fried chicken or my favorite sotong?? and suddenly from behind i heard, "don eat too much.." IS MY BOSS!! Not forget to remind me on my diet!! Argh.... stress again!!!!!!!!! until i don know how i finally decide to settle with the 2 dishes only!!!

This is my lunch ended up to be... Sigh..

But tomorrow is always a brighter day.. I am going to my auntie's company annual dinner tomorrow!! muahahha.. at jumbo restaurant!! haha.. ops.. not to forget my mission.. Diet, diet, diet!!

Frustration?? Not again....

18th January 2009, Sunday

Here I come, the complicated one again... Do not know what is wrong with me.. Combination of complicated emotion & feeling.. feeling gain, feeling lose, excitement, disappointment, happy, frustration... Argh... Not again..

Spoken to my colleagues this evening.. seems like i really got the rental for bishan unit extremely expensive.. Actually I knew it was expensive, but i think i would rather to pay more for the convenience.. I mean, i am far from home, why not stay with someone that i know for long, and i can trust? well.. or i just shouldn't think so optimistic on this friendship.. But, why not?

Aiks... many consideration been taken into account.. i know the main problem is because i have been pampered in family and just cannot bear with certain restraint.. So, it seems like I just have to bear with it!!! To lower down my requirement to work within my budget? Hm.. have thought of it though.. but still.. I just cannot get over it.. I need the secure feel!!! Staying with stranger?? Hm.. NO NO NO...

Is this the only way out?? Certainly not.. But this is just the consequnces of my decision that i have to complete.. One make the decision, no matter what are the consequnces, one have got to bear with it, right? Further more, this is just the process, the fruits has not mature. But who can guarantee on the fruitful outcome? I do, and I should.. I better hang on with it.. Coz I am suppose to believe on my beliefs.. haha..

Is getting confusing.. But also getting relief on my emotion.. I am glad that i have a place for shouting out.. Argh.. I deserve what i have done, dont i??

Cheese Naan, Plain Naan, Garlic Naan...

16th January 2009, Friday

This evening Alvin brought us to West Coast For dinner.. Honestly i have no idea where is the place.. The restaurant is "special" as it is hiding at the "backlane" of another row of restaurants.. Another word, it cannot be seen from the main road..

Honestly I don remember the restaurant name.. haha.. But the food that they serve was surprisingly delicious.. haha.. We had the crispy biscuit (looks like appalam), with mint & chili source as appetizer, then the main courses are chili chicken, tikka fish & naan.. The basket of naan consist cheese naan, plain naan & garlic naan.. yummy!! The chili chicken taste bit spicy.. but still good..

The restaurant is behind these buildings

Return of Mummy Cat!!

10th January 2009, Saturday

We had the Spring Cleaning in office today. It was a tire day, spring cleaning + so many days of not enough sleep..

Alvin attended a wedding dinner and i thought i can update my blog and rest early.. Uncle slept kinda early, auntie watching TV at living room and me blogging in the bedroom. everything seems peaceful and fine.. until late night.. Auntie screamed like 2 days ago!!! the mummy cat is return!!! back into the house!!

My goodness, I dare not to step out from the room at all, keep thinking -- is she coming to take revenge? or is she coming back to get the kitty?? Hasn't she brought away the kitty from backlane (the kitty is gone)??

The cat ran to upstairs and tried to get into the room, the only room with door opened was David's room. So auntie was quite sure that the cat is inside there.. but she couldn't find her. When she almost give up and rather to go back to bed, she suddenly think of David's goft set.. And the cat was really there!!! Another chase and run..

Uncle got no choice but to wake up again to do the men's work.. haha.. Finally... Settled the case. but we were kinda worry that the cat will come back again.. As she might think that her babies are still inside the house.. But we were also curious, who will took away the kitty if it was not the mummy who came and bring them back??

Sign.. Another night......

Visit to Asia Pasific Breweries Pte Ltd

9th January 2009, Friday

I was invited to a trip to Asia Pasific Breweries (Tuas) organized by my uncle, Wee Kiat. The big group departed from Raffles Boulevard but me from Tanjong Pagar after my work.

When i reached there, the group has gone for briefing. While waiting for them, i took some photo.. (not sure if we are allowed to do so... hehe..)

Pic 1: The famous Tiger Logo


Pic 2 : Pipes running all around the factory

Pic 3: Steel Structure supporting the pipes


When they came out from the briefing, we were lead to the bar, I drank 3 glasses. The first must be the tiger beer (their trademark ma..), second is a beer named Barons which contains 8.8% alcohol level. It taste good le.. And my third glass of beer, which I think is the niocest one.. is the Erdinger.. I don know what is the best word to descibe its taste, but i really find it smooth..

Pic 4 : Erdinger


We originally planned to leave the factory @ 9.30pm, but the last call was at 915pm, and everyone just ran to the bar counter to grab their last pint of beer, excpet me who keeping asking for water (to prevent de-hydrate the next day).. Then everyone got so happening and started the karaoke session. End up we left at 10pm.

The coach bring us back to Raffles Boulevard. It was so near to the Singapore Flyer, I tried to take the photo but my phone camera just refuse to cooperate well with me.. haha..

I am suppose to attend the birthday gatehring for my little cousin but we reached home very late and the kids were alsleep. Felt so guilty.. but, couldnt think so much already.. coz i am having spring cleaning in office the next day, so better sleep ASAP!!

Three Cats inside the Wardrobe!!

8th January 2009, Thursday

After few days accumulation of insufficient sleeping hours, I told myself :No matter what happen today, I must sleep early tonight!!! ------- However, things always do not happen as per our expectation.... sign...

Alvin had meeting in HQ and hence we went home bit late. But I thought i can check some mails before i go to bed.. and suddenly, we heard Alvin's mum screaming so loud, just outside the room... She saw a cat inside her wardrobe!! She got so shock and cant help herself screaming and screaming.. asking Alvin and David to chase the cat out of the room (house). The 2 big men just standing outside the room, looking at each other but not stepping even one foot into the room..

Luckily the real man of the house came home at the right time and chase the cat out from the house.. before i have time to settle myself, another scream that i heard.. this time is even louder.. The cat actually gave birth to 2 kitty inside the wardrobe!! my goodness.. clothes inside there were contaminated with cat's blood stain.. aiks.. Alvin's mum got really panicky with the kitty.. and i really cannot do anything at all too.. coz i myself is so afraid of cat.. Again, Alvin's dad bring the kitty out of the house.. sign.. that's call a night...

Take Care..

My uncle Keith is leaving to Abu Dhabi for work on 7th Jan (next Wednesday).. Today we went out for tea as farewell for him.. It was a simple gathering, with my be kor, Keith, joanna..

It has been too long that me and keith have not sit down and talk.. Probably most of the time we chat via msn.. So we don really talk that much in the short gathering. But i really feel bit of upset for his leaving.. Though, knowing that he is leaving for his brighter future, I still cant help myself with that hard feeling.

We have grown up together since very young. We spent laughter and tears, fun and fights together in our childhood. However, time flies and all of us grown older, busier, and further apart.. Everyone has to proceed with their life, fighting for their dreams and achievements..

Keith is always someone that i respect. Like he always says, he is not from wealthy family (which i hardly can agree with him).. He is the person that always know what he wants to be in future and really do his best to achieve his goal. I cannot understand why he would choose to leave his home, abort his career in hometown (he has actually achieved the level that many people dream to be), starting his new life at a place which is totally different with what he experiencing now!!

No matter how, Keith.. Wish you all the best, and do your very best for your goals..

You will be blessed. We love you. Take care.

Can i say that i have made it? AT LEAST... i have successfully upload the baby picture as the main display of my blog? haha.. this is the thing that i have been trying to do since last year la.. i thought i can do it myself but seems like i really cannot le..

My first intention is actually to change my blog skin to some special one la.. thought is easy to do it.. just follow step by step nia ma.. tried and tried but still fail.. so i give up but to add in the picture only lo.. i just love this picture la.. blog skin? i will not give up la.. will keep trying..

Today i woke up real late in the morning (last night slept at 2am, shit) -- 7am. Almost late to "work".. to be more precise; the "pre" spring cleaning duty.. Fortunately there wasn't long queue at the checkpoint into Singapore.. So i still managed to reach office by 9am. :) but i was really so blur on my way to office.. blur enough to buy myself an espresso cost S$4.30!! yet i thought i have heard wrongly when i pay the cashier S$2.00 and waited for her to give me back the change. argh.. blur lilie...

Oh ya!!!! i must tell all of my friends here!! PLEASE BE PROUD OF ME!! Today, i have won beautifully in a war! A war between me and myself!! Yes, is ME and MYSELF!! The story goes like this ------- Today i went to Orchard Takashimaya Burberry Outlet to check out the price of a bag for my friend.. After that, due to my "hiao-ness" and "feet ichy-ness", i go walk walk around in the mall..

%$@%$%*^*@#... what came into my eye are -- COACH 50% Sales, DKNY 50%, Long Champ 30%, Kate Spade 60%, Gucci Further Reduction ... .... .... and i really aimed on a Gucci tote that only priced S$740!! Buy or not buy? Buy or not buy?? Struggle............. my heart fighting my mind.... and end up.... .... ..... I RAN AWAY from Taka!!

Hey hey.. since when i have become so down to earth and started to think logically (or have i out of my mind?)? My friends.. please praise me if u think that i am doing the right thing, if not, PLEASE WAKE ME UP!!! DO NOT LET ME DROWN!!

Happy New Year 2009!!

I am trying very hard to do something... Argh... There is no way that I can do it myself.. but this is my 2009 first vision.. and i still stubbornly believe that i can make it!! Aiks.. headache...

Well, till now, my 1st January 2009 mission is "still in process".. hm.. should i be more honest? I have no idea how to do it up at all!!!! argh...........

Review of Year 2008
The happiest occasion for sure is my brother's wedding ler.. Beside that, my good friend, Charmaine & Yin Nee's wedding.. Aiks, just too many wedding to attend this year and occupied most of my annual leaves..

Also I have pick up some skill in structural design.. well, not much but at least my friend say got bit of improvement.. haha..

And I have created my own blog.. this is simply awesome.. haha. because i have never thought that a computer idiot like me can create own blog. haha. (i think most of my friend will agree with me!!) yaya.. must not forget to thanks my friends, who patiently guide me on blogging.

Of course, there are some unhappy memories too.. but i'll rather not to list them out here.. They will simply make my life more complicated!! Argh..... STOP THINKING!!!

Vision of year 2009
I determine to lose weight!! I have been saying for years!! but this year i must really do it!! Those who read my blog, please close up your mouth and stop laughing at me.. Coz I am really serious about it!! haha..

Dream of year 2009
The economy has dropped dramatically due to the global recession last year. Hopefully this year will be a better year.. Just get to know that many people got retrenched or on forced leave due to the quiet market. It is indeed very upset and worrying.. Hopefully the market can slowly pick up this year, so that more people can rescue their rice bowl, and have better living..

Hm.. is getting drowsy already.. probably is because of the flu medicine.. Better go to sleep now.. The incomplete task? May be i can do it tomorrow?? hehe..
