haizzz....

i need zzz....

just me

Just the other day, after leo and I hung out with a mutual friend of ours, he commented: "You really feel comfortable with J right?"

I was a little surprised by his remark. But I knew what he was getting at.

I used to think that I was the friendly sort who could get along easily with most people. But over the years, I've realised how uncomfortable I feel in the presence of people I just, well, don't feel comfortable with. In fact, as leo pointed, I can only spend long periods with people whom I feel completely at ease with. And there are so very few people I can do that with.

I would prefer to lunch alone, leave early... so unlike leo who loves company, even if the company is superficial. I've also realised how much being in the workplace has bent this self of mine to be just part of the group. If left to myself, I'd really much prefer to be alone.

that crazy hen party for that crazy babe

THAT'S fy doing her American Beauty pose on the carpeted floor of Fluid room, designed by Wykidd Song for the New Majestic Hotel. As expected for a hen party held in honour of the craziest and funniest girl in the 4/6 gang, it was hilarious and wild. No need for a stripper when the hen herself is game to shed part of her outfit for our entertainment pleasure. Cameras clicked non-stop, and at points, the antics bordered on porn! HAHA. Can't show much here, cos all my photos are not very decent. But here's fy's blog entry with more photos - decent ones :)

I think the greatest part about the party, apart from the fun we had, was the process of doing the slideshow as a gift to fy, our class chairman forever. We saw photos of ourselves taken 11-12 years ago...doing stupid poses for English day in RGS, posing once again outside the then TGIF, standing outside Hard Rock Cafe where we had quite a few birthday celebrations....etc...

So nostalgic...

first the birthday, then up north

Friday: I finally remembered leo's birthday. And that means remembering the correct date. I don't know why, but I always think it's 5 Oct instead of 6 Oct. Ethan mummy has the same birthday, and her hubby (in jest) told her to "remind" me that the date is supposed to be 7 Oct.
So for the first time in five years, I arranged for a hot date for us both! Very hot ok... haha. First it was a present, then dinner at Wild Rocket, and lastly karaoke for 4hrs at Party World KTV!!! Woohoo!!! leo is fast overtaking me in his repertoire of Mandarin songs, all thanks to his frequent night outs with his cheena-type resellers. Darn.

Sunday: leo and I drove up to Malaysia. As we waited for his car to get washed, I saw Jay. No, not Jay Chou, but the Malaysian car number plate did make me think of Jay Chou. We should have more interesting car number plates in Singapore. More readable ones...

remembering taipei

was going through some video clips of my taipei trip this year. here we are at Taipei's biggest night market, Shi Lin Night Market. :)

hello? I'm stressed...

I'm on duty two days, to man the PSLE hotline. These P6 kids really call to say they are stressed. It's so bad for some 12-year-olds that they experience pain in their heart, headaches and sleepless nights. One boy today used the word "piercing" to describe his pain in the heart as he stressed out over his English paper. He felt that if he did not pass his PSLE, his mother would be looked down on by her siblings. I can't imagine a 12-year-old carrying such a burden. I think it hurts even more to hear him say that he's the weakest in his class, the worst class in school.

What's happening to our children? I don't remember feeling the least bit stressed over my PSLE!

them men

Maybe I should take a picture of my office table.

[Oh, my mum just called me from the living room to see my "cute boy" (in her words) on tv. How coincidental, I was just going to talk abt MP Teo Ser Luck. Anyways, he just appeared on tv with the other post-65 MPs who are doing a hip hop dance item for Chingay. I missed his dancing. Haha.]

Well, I just talking abt my office table. Yes, I've pinned up a Mind Your Body article of Teo Ser Luck, who was interviewed abt his sporting achievements. Cos I needed inspiration to live a healthy lifestyle, and his boyish good looks are a bonus. He's already 38 by the way!

To my left, I've leaned a flag, bearing Singapore Idol runnerup Jonathan Leong's face, against my CPU. My colleague gave it to me after she attended the Results Show at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. More eye candy.

And today, at NTUC, I couldn't resist picking up i-weekly cos Rain had made the cover! But there was a price tag stuck on it, marring his face so badly I decided I should head somewhere else to get one - sans price tag. And my colleague said "errr...you should act your age."

To that I say, is that necessary??? Haha.

trying for a new beginning

I have lofty ambitions of getting into shape.

Today, I attempted to jog all the way to the Punggol jetty and back. To say I nearly died is an understatement. When I reached the end, I crumbled by the side of the windy road and thought I'd never live to see the day again.

This is damn tough.

But it's even tougher when someone says you've put on weight. And when you take pix of yourself on your camera phone and you SEE that your face is as round as a moon.

Oh please, let this be a new beginning of more exercise and a healthier diet. I seriously think my perpetual lethargy is the result of a lack of exercise - and too much meat.

Yes, pls let me start all over again.

(psst...I'm onto a new Korean drama series. This time only 16 discs. But aiya, not as nice as Full House. Sigh...)
