A few things on my mind.

-

OT seems to be coming back. With the list of issue hanging around, holiday

seems impossible. But December i always in holiday mood. Cold weather makes

me wanna hibernate. Why can't we just like animal and work for 3 seasons to

store food for winter and just stay at home?

--

recently i took up knitting thinking that work has calm down. Just when i

start to get used to the knit stroke, i started to have issues at work. That

day i went to hougang where one of the teacher stay to get my knits removed.

But that day i found out that the other teacher stays in bishan. Dumb me.

---

As of last monday, i have about 300 open cases to settle. less than a month

i have, means i need to close abt 100 cases a week. Assuming that some cases

may come back as re-open, it is safer than i close > 120 cases a week. means

about 24 cases per day. This sound kinda tough man. Some lucky cases can be

close within half an hour, but some may take half a day.

new help have been enroll in. but i do not know if is blessing or not. some

things need explanation means will take time.

On friday, before i go home, i did a count and still have a total of 227

open cases. seems like i better work harder.
----

I finally get my Paul & Joe Loose Powder a few weeks ago. Despite my love

for clarin loose powder, i have to admit i lust for Paul & Joe's packaging.

I started to see the base of clarins, so it is soon i can puff PJ on my face

=)

-----

Don't blame me for the lack of updates and pictures.

I have been very tired recently and can't wait for the xmas weekend to rot

at home. i dun mind for once, being called as a himono onna. but just once

pls.

------

i have been to st regis twice this month to eat. sasuga 6 star hotel. Food

is good and service even better. I started to dream about wedding there..

hehe...

-------

xmas shopping finally ended. i did all my shoppings in a few shops at ion.

last night i wrapped all baby xmas pressies for his co-workers and finally

done and ready for him to bring back. next is my pressies. 20 over to be

wrapped. *fainted*

if everything is ok, maybe i should ask baby to go see xmas deco this

friday. yesterday while at st regis, the carol was so good that i can feel

it is xmas!! =)

--------

i'm thinking whether to go back ikoma for my japanese lesson. i wan go for

JLPT next year. hmm......

blue xmas~

青いxmas欲しい～

その青いな木好きです。

i'm thinking if i should go down to orchard and see the xmas deco. The last time that i went ard to see the deco was probably with yan. i'm not a fan of it, but having someone to go ard taking photos is kinda fun.

i'm starting to grow to be a boring person. i need excitement in my life.
sianzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Nov @ C => Bowling

i think i never bowl with other people apart from maximum 5 since after poly. i never bowl with my uni friends, and the last group that i bowl with during school days should be eddie etc. last night, i went bowling with my office kaki and it was fun!! even though it was a real nail breaking session for me, it is worth it~ =)

round 1, i score 99 pts, which was probably better than usual... i was rank 2nd from the top. round 2, i score 71 pts and i was rank 2nd from the bottom.. haha~ everyone is so good!! but it seems like they are suffering from backaches and hand cramps today. hime-sama? cho-genki desu~! =)

i'm so looking fwd to dec outing~ snooker or bowl again?

Random

is random something that we learn in maths? if not, why do we have maths.random in java and .net?

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

recently i'm into manicure & pedicure (thanks to evadne).
after the expensive mani-pedi, hand mask and leg mask @ bishan, this time i went to some place in tiong bahru for a cheap and good one. $18 and u can do nail-art, gradient or any design u wan~ lovely~ anyone wants to go with me? *wink* i need my pedi soon~ =)

becoz of this, i'm regretting to organise a bowling for next monday, this means that i may break my beautiful nails. Any smart person know how to now break nails during bowling? i need this info badly!!

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

marutama is still good~ last night i went for the daikon and it was just what i wanted. i love my veg soft and daikon should be as soft as it can be~ best when melts in the mouth once pop in~ =)

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

christmas is coming and i'm thinking of gifts gifts and gifts. coz it means shopping shopping and shopping~ i want my new clothes~ haven buy any in nov~ (i'm so guai)

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

i need a cash studio refil session badly~ who is free to go with me? i have alot of leave to clear, so i can even take a weekday leave to sing all the way~ o(^@^)o

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

i gotta start planning my schedule and hit the gym, $$ is spent yet i din go. Chris is right again~ it is just a few months passion. I haven been going since after my boxing class has ended... gotta see my calendar and start planning.. then put plan into action.

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

anyone wants a meetup? sms me k?

1st christmas present of the year~

coach poppy wristlet~ i'm using it today!! =)

thanks da jie!!

whooooppppppp~~

how i wish i'm part of them~ so cool~

mum's 60th birthday - food

super tired yet it is a big success!! a big applause for the main organiser ms serene ng and ms jasmine ng~~ *clap clap clap*

talking about this event mean a post is never enough. shall have part 2 though~ no worries~

we was wanting to book hiang suar as it is good for its suckling pig and braised shark fin, but too bad it was on reno. however, pershaps it is a blessing. Roland Restaurant gave us the best support in the event, and the food was really good today.

a small breakdown on the overall cost. the dinner per table cost approx 600, however, with the upgrade to the best shark fin, we had to add 330 per table. we add two more dishes wasabi prawn and yam basket to the 8-course meal (thus now 10 course), makes the basic price per table close to 1k. as usual, there are the corkage fee, towel, drinks and small dishes charges. therefore the meal itself is much more than 3k.

we thank sis-in-law 3rd uncle for calling Roland and got us some discount =)

baby thought red wine is free flow. No way man. we order 18 bottles and got it sent to the restaurant. we thank alvin chai from Roland for giving us the best support in chilling the wine as well as making sure everything goes right.

the 3kg black forest cake from pine garden was heavenly. despite that i dun really like prunes, but i had to argee that their black forest is great. the $15 delivery charge is really reasonable, and i thank the lady-in-charge for accommodating the delivery despite the last delivery is at 7pm. $33 per kg for the heavenly cake is really worth the $$.

of coz, other expenses including halloween deco for each table (pumpkin) + door gift (halloween chocolate from cocoa trees and marks & spencers). mum's manicure & pedicure which makes her freaking elegant & the little big sweep ang bao that we have for each guest to thank them for coming.

As hime is busy with entertaining the guest, the amount of pictures that i can take is really not too many. thank baby for helping out with the entertaining, photo-taking as well as baby-sitting.

the yummy food from Roland, and cake from pine garden.


free for the birthday ger

the birthday ah-ma is so happy to see this. the small ones were really yummy and the big one is super interesting.


starter: seafood platter

i never like oyster but this is freaking good. the cheese and mayo is not too thick, yet it taste just nice. (i'm drooling~)


shark fin

sharks-lover may hate me. but i hate to admit my love for quality shark fin. i refused to accomodate and eat the shark fin soup with the little shark fin and i think using chopstick to pick each piece up is the best.


a closer look~


suckling pig

i had to admit my love for hiang suar suckling pig, but Roland's isn't bad. the crispy skin melts in my mouth, but is it such a pity that the portion given obviously is lesser than the size of the pig. dun try to cheat the daughter of a butcher. i know pigs better than u do. =D


teochew steam promfret

i always believe that a good promfret(sp not sure) should be steam and you will be able to taste the freshness. i had little of this dish due to entertaining so i can't comment much. but looking at the bones left on the table, i bet everyone is enjoying like how jill will do. =p


wasabi prawn

i burst into laughter when the one who say the wasabi prawn here is good is a person who dun eat prawn. it is really good, though not the best i had. the accompanying rock melon was fantastic though~


usa roast duck

this is heavenly!! i'm not a fan of duck but i think the roast duck is good!! the skin is crispy yet full of the sweetness of the duck. the sauce is a heavenly match with the duck meat. hime's favourite part is definitely the breast~ *thumbs up*


abalone w mushroom & spinach

if not for the 10-course meal, i would have finish up all the mushroom. it is soft, tender and really taste very good. i felt so sad whenever i think that the mushroom is gg to the bin. wat a waste!!


yam basket

i love this! i love this! the prawn is good (i probably prefer it than wasabi prawn), the yam is freaking delicious. i think if i even go back, this will be my top order!


ee fu mian ~ hime fav!

i will choose this over Royal China~ sorry for the change of heart, but it is so good that the 4 of us (siblings) were fighting over the left-over to bring home~ next morning, sis even called to ask me keep some for her~ best of the night!!

the yam paste was distributed and eaten before i can take any pictures. by then, the alcohol goes to my brain and i couldn't remember clearly how it taste. but definitely good, since i finish mine~


3 kg black forest cake

it is huge and hime was in charge of cutting in. the guests were super full by the cake-cutting session, and having cake and yam paste at the same time, the guests couldn't really ate much. but mum insists on 3 kg. she wants bring home, and she was her kids/guest to bring some home too~ i thank the staff of Roland for giving me boxes to bring home the cake.

The food is fantastic~ Bro & Sis~ when shall we go again? i wan my yam basket, ee fu main and oysters!!

Coffret D'or

i'm lusting for this~~

good food no longer taste good.

i think i gotta starve myself for the saturday dinner.
the amt of goodies that hime & co has been eating is over-doing!!
we seems to nv rest our stomach sia.. and our wallet~

i'm planning for a penang trip end next month with no-p-trio etc. i'm all for it, but the price of the air-tix seems abit steep~ need find some alternative. like-wise, maybe a trip to malacca sounds good too~ time to spent my genting jackpot winnings!! they are still in my drawer! =)

therefore i gotta tighten my wallet from the month of novemember onwards~ moreover, alot of christmas pressies to go ard!! gotta plan my budget properly!! i think in oct, i basically spent > $50 everyday!! i think there goes my bonus!! luckily i have paid my insurance and no more gym-

installments to be paid after this mth~

mum's 60th bday mean a hole in my wallet~ i'm expecting the total damage to be about $4K!! T_T Guess my november resolution is to eat mug noodles and drink packet soup for breakfast. maybe i should really cut down on cab, but i'm super lazy!!

今日、私は解る。　絶対負けました。　

Updates!!

Finally some time to sit infront of my pc for some updates.

this week seems kinda busy. I think i din even browse through any blog during working hours. i have just finished reading our logs and send out after organising it. suppose to be done on friday, but the lazy me decided to eat snake and go home rather than OT.

end of the month is suppose to be happy coz pay is coming!! but mama's bday may incur quite some $$. i hope it wun break my wallet too badly.

now i'm all crazy over atsu-hime and i shall not nag too much abt myself here and spend more time watching~ =)

ja mata ne~

オルトロスの犬

It been some time since i get so excited over a show. i got so woke-up at the last episode that i think i almost go crazy!!

i practically drool for ryo @ the end of the drama~ i think i'm gg to be his fan!! yamapi~~ どうしょかな？？？ and to think that i can only remember him as a chibi-ryo in wink-up mag.

takki also kakoii!! but then i can feel he is aging sia~ so kinda sad... maybe no longer the baby face boy? but i can't help feeling ... when that woman comment abt his chest.. hahahahah

i start to think about ryo in last friends... DV ka... i think i already drool over his at last friends, but the ryusei no kizuna spolit his image in my heart.

i think i will have sweet dreams if i can dream of ryo tonight~ best if takki comes along!! hehehehe~ i think i gg crazy, i keep repeat the bridge scene to listen to ryo say

「アンタの愛は深すぎる。」

ryo~ pls come and tell me　「僕の愛は深すぎる」。

i dun mind to die under your 悪魔の手。 幸せそう！！

i think not enough sleep really will go crazy~~ hahahaha

btw, ryo, please dun smile when u come to my dreams. give me the "i'm in deep thoughts/trouble" look.

P.S.: shall persuade 紀様　to watch this =p

F1 - part 2

F1 is something that i dun really understand...

if not for miya explanation, i dun even know what is safety car~ hahaa

anyway less word here, more pictures...

quite alot so i have to split into few time to post..

crazy 4D lovers, u may be able to find some number to buy























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

my skin

is never the flawless type. but some ger friends of mine envy the following facts abt my skin

1. no dark eye rings so matter how late i sleep. everyday i sleep from 4am-7:30am. weekend are the only time i sleep more to make up to my body
2. no out-break even after bbq or eating heaty food.
3. no oily nose or foundation melting issue (i'm dry skin, haha)

small things that i do to get my skin in proper, though not perfect, condition.

A. FACE MASK

gers who really knew me well know that i'm a face mask queen. i at least have more than 300 face mask in my room. and at highest peak, probably 1000 pieces. i believe that face mask should be applied everyday. especially if u are a lazy person, then i think face mask is the easiest maintenance step. it definitely take time for you to realise what type of mask is most suitable for you. but once you find them, u will be on your way to better skin!!

B. SUNBLOCK/SUNSCREEN

i have strong belief on becoming fair and white. Though i still go under-sun without umbrella, but i nv leave my house without a minimum of SPF 30, and go work without a minimum of SPF 50. By having the protection on your skin before you go out will seriously help you block away >50% of skin problems

C. BIRD NEST

This is probably the most expensive among the 3 items i have mention but this is the most worthwhile item. i take bird nest as a weekly skincare supplement, and sometimes during the bad skin time, i will take it for 3 days consecutively.

As mention above, i have no dark eye rings no matter how i lack of sleep, this is because is uses under eye-mask every now and then. i find them super useful, but then i cannot promise that it is the reason for no dark-eye-rings. after all, i never had this problem in my life.

prevention to outbreak of skin.
i realise what you drink will help to prevent skin outbreaks etc
for one whole week i drink at least
1. 2 x 250ml of fruit juice (usually starfruit green apple)
2. 1.5 liter of barley tea
3. 500ml of barley water
4. 500ml of floral tea
5. 500ml of cooling tea

i do drink water too. but all the above help to reduce heat in my body. or even lower sugar content.

i dunno if the above info will helps you.. but it what i usually do. =)

F1 - 2009 part 1

yes~ i suppose to put up everything abt F1 here~ but i'm really tired becoz of last night race (and i fell asleep halfway) + i just want to watch finish [triangle] so maybe if by the time i finish triangle it is not too late, i will consider post part 2.

i bought the jacket as seen above. i really love it~ (though my pose abit weird).

it is make of super light material and i finally dun look like a old tai tai~~ hahaha~

*betsy : ask clement send me the photos!!
*miyabi : sashin sashin!!

F1 race!!

tml night i gg F1 race~ so happy~~

as baby has wedding dinner to attend, my original plan is to go with ah boy and jill. but ah boy rather have concert then F1, so the plan got called off, and i'm gg with baby.

i have 3 tix!! so who is the lucky one?

.
.
.
.

miyabi-sama~ omedetou!!

tml will be a fun day!! $1800 worth of tix is in my hand now~~ hahahahahahahaha

it is padang k!! not any standing area! we got seats!! =)

i'm so excited!! =)

Random matters

i envy ppl who are simple-minded... ppl who are simple minded tend to assume things to their own way and thus be happy coz they believe that what they assume is the truth. But that's not true. These ppl are called innocent when young, however, when age shows its foot-step on their faces, i feel that innocent becomes naive.

sometimes i get irritated by such ppl. just random thoughts

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

aging is a very scary thing. when i look at faces that show symptoms of aging, i started to wonder if i also have the same problem.

this week i started to drink de-tox drink to remove toxic from my body. and mind you, it is home-made without preservative k!!

then since yesterday, i decided to start my one-month intensive mask application. i have neglected my mask since the OT get horrid and drama every night after OTing. now i shall put mask while dramaing~ for one whole month!! starting from yesterday!!

aging does not only show on face. my legs are starting to show aging symptons too~ i think i need body toning and lotion to firm and smooth my skin. every night after mask, i shall apply body lotion, alternative with toning lotion. shall not be lazy.. also need go gym to do toning exercise!!

talking abt gym, i have not been there for quite some time liao. Gotta go over soon before my membership expires~ and before i grow fatter!!

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

i missed everyone~~ i know that i haven been meeting up with many ppl.. the last person that i have met should be boss on 11 sept. he says to gather soon but i dunno when and no one seems to have time to organise.

i haven seen miya since she started her new shigoto. must arrange for dinner and beer soon!! *hugz*

neither have i met up with shuhan since july/august for my bday~ =(

of coz, to talk abt worst case, grace who nv see me for a few years nag at me that we nv meet. and then i have meet mr chua, my best friend since like june 07 till now? oh mine~

i apologise to ppl who wants meet me and i couldn't. unless you are willing to meet me like at 9pm or 10pm for dinner, then it is probably do-able.

mayu & yan, cfm with me earlier when you coming back. i'll try take 1 or 2 days leave ard that time for a meet-up. =)

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

ppl who are taker and not giver makes me mad.. they keep asking things from ppl, but not as if they bring to share. this type of ppl irritates me too.. can they stop asking things from ppl till being offered? when such ppl exists, i felt i became ugly and reluctant to share. coz i'm not happy to share with such ppl.. maybe i really have a ugly and selfish heart.

a luxury weekend

the 3 days holiday was a super fattening 3-days for me...

saturday went royal china.

sunday went shin kushiya for a super late brunch at 2:30pm, then went sakae sushi @ night.

monday night is chang korean bbq!! ate wagyu and kurobuta!! yummy!!

my body is full of toxic!! and full of mooncake too!!

this year....

.. i think i ate alot of mooncake...

normally i dun eat so much.. but this year i like keep eating and keep eating sia

after raffles hotel's, st regis yan ting's, royal china's, ncs's, now i'm eating majestic, which is the well-recommended mooncake by 8-days.

and i actually wanted to eat peony jade's yam with pumpkin as well as durian mooncake.

tonight is the day to finish 薔薇のない花屋。

thanks hidemi for teaching me why is not 薔薇ないの花屋。

and today i learn a new word... chinois..

Happy Birthday BFF!!

Happy Happy Birthday~~

You may thought i have forgot~ but i purposely schedule this post to 23:59.

like what chang pin say, if i cannot be the 1st to wish you happy birthday,then i wanna be last on this day~

The 1st time we never had a chance to meet up to celebrate your birthday~
this is such a pity~~ but i hope you are having fun there..

as far as i know, at least you have a work-life balance, which i'm really happy compared to what you had in singapore~

take care~ and i hope to see u soon

TGIF

refer back to the mooncake post and u probably find this familiar.

evil 竜様 and naughty jill came up with the idea to put this outside.

i suggested to put on top of the card scanner...

and today is was removed out of embarressment... hahah

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

last night was a funny dinner. vincent went home and took his car and pick jill and me. we planned to go chomp chomp, with last min changes to macpherson for ngoh hiang. the ngoh hiang, as expected, was closed. and we decided on bedok to makan.

and then? we turn round and round in bedok and couldn't find the food we wanted.....

turning more rounds and rounds, and we finally got it~~

the stalls that we order wun marvellous, but at least much more decent than lau pa sat etc.. =)

this week's dinner, my favourite will be daikon from marutama ramen~ good reco by 紀様.　maybe shall eat again this sunday... hohoho..

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

every friday we should be happy... becoz weekend is coming..

however, my happiness always come with abit of dissappointment and sadness...

i dunno how to describe... but that's the problem....

i wonder issit the thought of having tons of work to bring over to the following week makes me upset..

or pershaps other reasons?

or pershaps there wasn't even the happiness at the 1st place....

i'm thinking if i should go back to work this coming monday holiday..

Welcome our new member

mizu-san

he shall provide the lvl 3 with 10 liter of water everyday.. save hime from gg up many times per week. =)

it is light and foldable!!

just 7 bucks from challenger!! so cheap!!

Mooncake

i obviously dun work in a company that produces mooncake. But coporate orders always works. Never did i expect to see the logo there... oh mine~

Lvl 3 has a box. Lvl 4 too. But think that there are like > 10 ppl at lvl 4, and only 6 ppl at lvl 3, we had a bargain. However, no one touch it. Seems like the spolit brat (cem) needs to be served.

i still prefer the raffles hotel one. it is not like i fancy snowskin over baked skin, but the lotus in the box above is not that yummy. 紀様 will probably say is becoz of alcohol... haha



shall look fwd to peony jade one =) yam with pumpkin!! Though i nv fancy yam mooncake, but i love yam!! heehee~

office desk~

yes, this is what you will see if u walk to lvl 3 this week.. the table full of hikaru no go manga~

23 books and i'm down with 5, 17 more to go.. thanks vincent for lending me~~
