My lappy finally gave up and crash....
Almost everything is gone again...
Thank goodness i was tempted to get my external hard disk... Not all is lost.

Now i need to find someone who can tell me what's wrong with my lappy.
Anyone knows anyone???

Just as i was getting hooked on GG again....

Life is difficult as it is.
So why add more pressure to your body with all those unnecessary chemicals!?
If you've not heard, regular bottles may release chemicals into your water (whatever liquid) when kept in a plastic bottle for too long.

wiki on bpa
check out the bottom section abt bpa and obesity!

ST article on bpa

(read if you're interested)

Anyway,
D convince us that bpa-free was the way to go!
Actually i was sold when she mention leaving bottles over an extended period of time in a car in our crazy weather!
Kindda scared me a bit.
Plus all the other things abt it being cancer causing and all...

So....

Thanks to D...

Now i am bpa-free too!!

Didn't go for my conventional colour.
But as usual i couldn't help drawing on it
So here it is...


Happy just looking at it
*beam*

By now everyone should have heard about the crazy petrol prices over the last weekend.
SHELL was selling a liter of petrol for only $1!!!
And of cause kaisu me just had to get in on all that good deal!

So here's my $1 petrol adventure.

Mum informed me of this promo 2 days before, so for 2 days i drove baby-M around like there was no tomorrow!
With a little less then half tank, i was determine to get my $1 petrol!

Saturday:

10am - pump price switch to $1
Fiona was coaching...

Finish at 1pm.
Had lunch.

2pm - Left house for next class, hoping to get my $1 petrol.
Drove pass... Crazy madness long queue at AMK....
*sigh*
Went straight to for class.

Finish class...
Driving home... Super tired and drained from the carzy hot sun...
Thinking twice abt going to the pumps.
*slap* - kiasu bug bite
Drove straight the the nearest SHELL around my place.

3.45pm
Joined the queue.
Hmm.... It's not THAT bad....

Waited for 5mins...
Thinking of the many other stations around...
Contemplating whether to go there instead.
But decided that i'll probably have to queue there too...
So i stayed.

4pm
Creeping, crawling slowly along the line
Happy to be amongst my fallow kaisu countryman!
Surprisingly the queue was not as bad as i thought it'll be
At least it was moving

4.05pm
The entrance is so near yet so far!
There were cisco guards directing traffic.
No wonder there's no massive jam...


Part-time help
Carrying the sign walking up and down
in the bloody hot sun!!
Poor girl...

One the other side of the board read
"Only 95. 98 sold out"
(something along that)
But lucky me! The re-fill tanker came just as i was in the middle of the queue.
*beam*

4.10pm
Thought to myself...
"How crazy awesome it is that petrol is cheaper then diesel!! Woohoo!!"

By a full $0.181!!!
*feel good being in the queue*

4.15pm
Finally at the pump!!
"98 Full tank pls"

Payment - "That will be $22"

Happiness all over!
It's like being told you struck 4D!!
(ok... maybe not the big big 4D but definitely similar to winning 4D!)


4.15pm
Drove home happy.

It was almost a half hour wait. But it was also some good alone time. And i got $1 petrol out of it!
So it's all good
=)

That psycho looking monkey is getting a little too creepy...
So many it's time for an quick update!

Been busy with the usual.

Work and such...

Lots of chilling sessions after work, which is nice.

Lots of interesting conversations - definitely enjoying that.

Been trying to get my running fever back on track - so far i think it's been quite ok.
All that late nights makes it near impossible to get up early, so most runs are happening at night.
Night runs are fun! The air is cooler and there's lesser ppl.

Was invited to onedegreefifteen for a gyming session.
Run around the area.
It was really nice. Didn't feel like sg at all!
There was this easy breeze in that atas environment.
And i certainly enjoyed looking that the architecture.
Start of the run, the sun was blazing! Then there was a sudden downpour!
Don't think i ever ran in the rain like that before...

Well...
That's as interesting as my life gets...

And this is my current "Happy Pic"


Sept - Happy Pic

I thought i would have time to do a good solid post this week.
However...
I am terribly mistaken!
Busy with work...
Then fell a bit sick...
Then all that energy on preventing myself from becoming more sick!
Now i'm just trying hard to sustain and survive this weekend.
"Oh Lord pls give me strength"

If you're waiting for my updates i apologise.
(although i wonder who still bothers)

Sunday, September 6, 2009

This week should be easier.
But i have tons of errands to catch up with.

The occasional times when i do watch the EPL...
I will cheer on Liverpool!
(It's a family thing..)

"Splinter by chopsticks"

But never actually happening...

It's finally raining!!

Not just rain....
It's a massive downpour now!!
Woohoo!!
Hidden at home; I'm enjoying the rain!
Just staring out my window
I wish i could capture how heavy the rain actually is... strong the winds are!
Look so beautiful.

Thursday, August 20, 2009

Remember the times when we were young and oh-so-mischievous.
We use to run around with endless energy
Talk at the top of our voices so that everyone will listen and notice us.
Ask questions about everything
And answer some as if the world owe us something.
Oh yes. We were young, naive and sometimes really rude (if you think carefully about it)

Then there were the times when we will get into trouble for talking back or being rude.
You know the times when our teachers, coaches or parents will scream at us. sent us for time out or punish us in some way.

Then do you remember the times when you're getting scolded
The person scolding suddenly seems like he/she is rambling on
Points all over the place and not making much sense.

Remember what you thought at that point??

Well...
Yesterday i realise that scolding is an art!
(an art that i have yet to master)

Monday, August 17, 2009

Went shopping with my mum today, to help get stuff for my brother.
Sometimes i wonder why do i even bother when he don't even care...
Hmm...


Anyway... random talks somehow drifted to...

Mum: "Have you seen S's (my neighbour) brother?"

me: "Err... No. But you did tell me abt him that time la. Why?"

Mum: "Oh.. Nothing la. He quite good looking leh. You want, i ask Stella intro you la!"

me: " Err... No thanks ar... it's ok...."

Mum: "Serious la... He not bad leh."

me: " Got cuter then my brother not?"

Mum: "Of cause la! Tall and Big size. You like right!"

me: "Err............. Really.... Nvm la... It's ok."

Mum: "No la! I can ask for you .........................................

I stopped listening here

Oh man!! I think my mother is starting to be like other mothers!
Is she trying to tell me i'm getting old??
Or is she trying to chase me outta the house??

Die...
I think i'll have to live in Baby-M soon!

*start moving things*

Waiting for show to load...
Taking long... long... long...
Therefore i'm Bored... bored... bored...
Thus...
Random pictures of random happening with random words.

Random-ness #1

I told my dentist that my teeth ached sometimes.
She suggested toothpaste for sensitive teeth.
Lets see if it works.

Random-ness #2

Met some girlies for (late) lunch.
Tried the branch at Starhub centre.
The food tasted different.
The staff were impatient.
We didn't like it there.
Nonetheless, it's nice to meet up with the girls!

Random-ness #3

We went for an express medi and padi after lunch!
Scouted the whole of FEP to find one within our (ridiculous) budget
We were determine! And eventually we did find!
*Cheap Cheap*
Medi + Padi = $10 only!!!
But it was all cheena ppl... so you know...
But it's cheap!

Random-ness #4

Oh... some many months back, it rained... and there was a flood!
Class couldn't start... and i was bored.

Random-ness #5

I love this view...
Simply love to drive through wide roads, with trees and both side... and the sun was a nice addition.

Random-ness #6

I just wanted to buy myself something.
And i like the colour.

Random-ness #7

I couldn't find any of my (2 million) hair clips...
So i took notes from WGM Hwangbo and tied it up like how she do on the show.
Ha!

Random-ness #8

N came back bearing gifts!!
The packet drinks are soju... They really like their alcohol. It even come in convenient packs.
We still yet to have our fusion party though
Hmm...

Random-ness #9

Cute old couple on a cute old Vespa with cute matching helmets.
How cute!

Random-ness #10

For more then 10 years my trusty red clock never failed to wake me up!
Then it decided to retire.
I hope my new white one will work as well.


Ok. That concludes 10 random (almost) useless happenings in my life.
My show finished loading...
I'm off.

Thursday, August 13, 2009

*sigh*

Why is it that ppl never fail to disappoint?

Sunday, August 9, 2009

Had a good long chat with D last night.
Girly talks are always nice.
Coupled with super good gossips.
Perfect!
Haha..

Missed another D's msg coz of the phone call.
So right after morning class (and going to get breakfast)
I helped D out with her favour.
Did a bit of browsing of my own too.
Too bad all the ones i wanted was OOS.

"When the cat's away, the mice come out to play."
Well, that's what the mice usually does.
But this time, the mice decided to be nice and go out breakfast instead!
Oh man! It's been ages since i had such a "sinful" breakie!
But it was yummyliously satisfying.

Now... Back to my regular Sunday activities.
Ta



Happy National Day!

"Woohoo!! Long weekend!!"


"Err... So??"

sad...


Wednesday, August 5, 2009

There's really no mood to write lately. Not because there is nothing happening, on the contrary I've been kept real busy with the inflow of work!

You see... recently I've been really disappointed. By actions, by broken promises, by empty words. These can really drain a person emotionally, physically and mentally.
And that's how i feel right now. Utterly disappointed. Completely drained.
Until today, i don't understand how can people make promises so quick and almost at the same moment, make up their mind that their gonna break it? Is all promises now just lip service?
Why do something when you have no good reason to? Why do something when you don't have the guts to face it later on? Why do something then act all oblivious after?
Don't do things that you dare face.
Don't say things that you mean.
Don't make promises you don't intend to keep.

I know i should be the bigger person and just let it go.
But i feelings are hard to control.
It's so consuming that i don't even have the mood to make decisions. I don't feel like making any decision. It feels like every decision is wrong!
Drown myself in work (pun intended)
At least that few hours, i can escape any real emotions.

Sorry for all these emo-ing.
Too many unhappy happenings.

Tuesday, August 4, 2009

Friday, July 31, 2009

Taking the next step.
Making a change.
*cross fingers*
Starting something new
Unsure of where it will lead.
*scare*
Mummy said:
"Don't think so much... Just chiong first!"

Well... Like Sherm said:
"Think my mother is probably almost always right about me.. In her own weird maternal way."

So i am taking this plunge!
Wish me luck!

Happy Birthday!!

The little blessings

Life throw you many ups and downs. We all been throught shit loads. (I know that I definately had/have my fair share) But someone told me:
"You can choose to come out of it bitter or better."

What I'm most grateful for is the ppl that helped me along the way. Be it those that listen to my whining and complain. Ppl that advice. Ppl who share with me their personal stories. Ppl who help me be more aware of myself and my surroundings.

Most importantly for ppl who have become friends that I can count on!

Today,especially to you, for letting me do it. For being there beside me. For allowing me to get all my unhappiness resentment and last ounce of feelings out. For helping me come to terms and (maybe now) truely let it all down.
For all that you did, I sincerely Thank you!

For being "that" friend! THANK YOU!!

Monday, July 27, 2009

I received a package in the mail.
I remember enquiring abt it but have no recollection of actually paying for it.
I was quite upset and was looking all over (the Internet) for it.
Not much luck... So i kindds came to terms with not having it.

I went to open my mailbox yesterday and much to my surprise...
I got mail!!
I got it!!
A really pleasant surprise
And for that moment,
I was happy.

(taking pleasure in the simple things.)

Saturday, July 25, 2009

During break, I was randomly chatting with my students.

One started telling me how he has a gang in school. And how this other gang (from another class) wants to chase them and beat their "leader" up! (or something like that).

I ask how come he's the leader?

And he replied "Cause he very smart! Always top the class"

Then he went one to tell me that he has a girlfriend! And was describing her to me...

So i asked, is your girlfriend in your gang too?

He said NO! Only boys allowed but we are thinking of letting girls join too.

Then he relieved that the other gang were all girls!

So curious. i asked. Then why they wanna chase your leader? Because they like him is it?

His reply "No... They just want to beat his backside"

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

Gosh... Kids nowadays! Got gang... got girlfriend... and getting into "fights"
What kindda social skills are the schools imparting on the "country's future"

P.s/ Did i mention that this is a Pri 1 boy here

"Nobody"

So cute!!
I like...

Wednesday, July 22, 2009


Mr. Potter have been evaluated.
Overall it was ok for me. Not as visually stimulating as the previous few.
But still good nonetheless.

With the natural maturing of the cast (it's nice to see a better looking cast, compared to a childish looking one), the story line did grow with them.
The plot was thicker, the emotions stronger, and of cause there was the hint of romance as promise.

But after all the hype abt this latest installment, i was actually hoping for much more.

I, personally have not read the book.
Because i know that i would have been disappointed otherwise.
Much the same as every other book that have been turned into a movie, somehow the true essence will get lost.
So with HP, i've decided not to read an of the book before the movie. I wanna be able to enjoy the movie in ignorant bliss.

The half blood prince was watched with someone that have already read all the HP books. Thus know the story in it's original form.
In between the show, i will get comments like, "They just cut off a whole chunk!" or "There's suppose to be more building up to this!"
Of cause curiosity always gets to me... and i can't help asking tons of questions!
Thankfully my questions were dutifully answered and the person beside me didn't get irritated with all our whispering.
One thing good about watching with someone that already knows the story, there's someone the explain to me what's going on.

So, my conclusion:

Is it worth a second watch?

Not really. But it certainly make you anxious about the next installment!

Sunday, July 19, 2009

Run...
Running...
RAN!

Saturday, July 18, 2009



tickets all set and ready to go
