Spam me

Here's one of the cutest food packaging i have ever seen at the super market. Guess what are they selling? Your all time favourite(ok not everyone) Luncheon Meat!! Before someone even says PORKY, check out its packaging. How does cars and operator girl relate to lunchie? Go figure :)

Met up with Jassie and Fai earlier, been months since i last saw them! Jassie i dined at Sushi Tei. Tried the ice cream waffle. Think it's the nicest thing there hehehe!

Yes dinner is a gd time to pose too.

My twin Jassie :)

And of course, my rumored gerfriend Fai :P

Spokeswoman for Macs :P

Trip down memory lane

Went Toa Payoh earlier to have breakfast with my Si Mei(Yumin). She live in a pretty old estate which reminded me of where i used to live(Serangoon). Had what she proclaimed as the Malaysian style Wanton Mee at her neighborhood market. It costed only 2 bucks! Cheap and good :) I can't really taste the diff between local and JB stlye..... just that they added shredded chicken into it. YUM.

Was taking the bus home when it passed by my old neighborhood, Serangoon. This blue building used to be besides my school(St Gabs Pri). My mum used to work there as an operator. There were times when some school mates and i would head to their canteen to makan illegally. Well, school rules state that we are banned from going in, but obviously no one cares lol. I remembered how we sneaked in once to eat and when we were leaving, the security guard tried to catch us! We ran like clumsy little pigs, heavy bags and files threatening to spill, but luckily, that old fellow couldn't ran far :)

bits n pieces

These days there are so many HK cafes sprouting out. I still prefer Xin Wan though. Well, partly coz the manager at one of the branches saw my colleagues and i dining there so often... she gave us discount!!! Yes, i'm the discount queen remember :) Heres the prawn paste chix and pork chop burger... gd!

Theres the other new HK cafe opened at Bugis. Try their desserts and buns, not badz. Somehow the staff there makes you feel like you are in KL watching a cantonese serial :P

All eat and no play is no good! HAha So Vance gave us a brief intro into yoga basics. Sounds good, feels good, doing it really made me realized i need to stretch more! Well, we are growing :) Interested parties let us know!

Some nice pics i took around CBD area. These performing arts school has been around for a long time. It was rather quiet when i went in the other day. Wonder if they are still operating.

tick/tock


People sometimes contradict themselves. I believe you do too, even me. I guess it's a process to counter-balance our thoughts and desires, like a swinging podium. Don't blame me, i'm a libra after all. I always love to hear both sides of the story.

I'm part of the team that's never satisfied with life(proud/shame?). Why am i working so hard? Why am i not earning enough? You know, feeling disowned and unhappy, trying to pull fur outta fur coats. Constantly worrying what to wear, what shouldn't i wear, whether eating that extra piece of fry will kill me. Most of us, i guess, are totally covered with this buzzing thoughts, like mud slide 100 times over.

Time and time again, rain comes and clears the mud away. But are you aware? Well, usually we don't. Sooner after it rained, we are covered again by.. yes.... dark, choking thoughts of mud. The other day, i headed to Bugis to pray pray with my colleagues. Where most of us pray for good luck in work, exams, relationships(or some hot dates), i noticed one of my gal mate was closing her eyes, concentrating hard like she's reciting a verse.

I could almost see a break in her eye when i asked her what's wrong. Lets call her Ang. Ang is asking God to give her a positive feedback from her clinical result. As i have learnt, she used to have some kidney problems. But recently, it seemed to have a relapse again, after her check with the hospital. Some symptoms seemed to be showing, like bloatedness and urine colour. It's not the same anymore. I felt totally helpless when she started to cry. Ang, always so cheerful and beaming whether i see her, suddenly seemed like a withering being. All of a sudden, i wanted to become the tiniest living organism in the world.

Yes, that's right. Do we look broader than we should? Does earning brownie points get you that "ching" in life? I guess we are too busy to rethink again. Too busy deciding on who to dinner date with, how to buy that gorgeous tote that will make all envy. Stopping on your tracks now would be impossible. Any lag time and you will be left behind. Nobody waits anymore. I have yet to know Ang's results. I'm praying with all my heart that she will be fine. I want to see her smile that would brighter the moodiest weather.

The rain just fell. Mud clouding down. Will you remember?

know thy nehboor

Funny how everyone says the world is getting smaller, with all the technology. Yet it's getting more isolated. You might be chatting up with your new net friend from the other side of the world(maybe Japan? I love Jap boys!), who shares the same movie digs as you, yet you know nothing about that neighbor living 2 doors away. All worse, just opposite your front door.

Earlier i was taking the lift, and this friendly indian lady held the door for me. When i pressed my floor level(i live in HDB btw, apartment blocks), i was surprised she lives in the same level as me! Ok, there are about 6 families living in each level, and i only know some of them :S Shyness notwithstanding

En-Light


Something snapped while conversing with my colleague today. I realized something about myself that i tend to brush off.

Though it's more about self-awareness.... this little point made me the way i am now, have been and probably the future. Why am i quite(or pretty much) a control freak? Why do everything doesn't seem to satisfy me? And why, am i never really happy...

Since secondary school, i have been making independent decisions. I meant, i believe i'm not the only one doing it. I'm not blaming my parents, i truly appreciate them and love them. Somehow, they couldn't really provide me with what i really need to move further up. My colleague was telling me, whose mum is self-employed(who are usually willing to face death and risk), how sometimes she gets little pieces of advices.

Sometimes, i wished i had an older sibling, so that i can seek advice, and possibly shelter. This realization somehow made me stronger.... and i know i will be. At least i know i'm not afriad to live alone.

Im a Water Pig

What i read from facebook :

Water Pigs go with the flow and usually trust people before they truly know them(quite true). This, of course, can get them into trouble because they are often to trusting for their own good. Water Pigs are quite easily influenced; yet, can be very persuasive when it comes to getting what they want. These people love parties and social situations and enjoy giving of themselves to help others.

Sun sand and see

banana, papaya and watermelon

Yes, these were the fruits used to play captain's ball in my company agency's retreat. Hahhaa.. together with 2 equally (in)sane colleagues, we planned out a series of games for our fellow members to tackle. The funniest would have to be the Captain's ball. People were throwing and passing around. People were catching and avoiding the fruits, which were easily smashed(we sunned them earlier to make them extra soggy!) Seeds were flying, people were having second thoughts of grabbing the fruits as they came midway, contents spilling everywhere. I was surprised the girls were quite active, even though they were screaming and yelling while holding whats left of the fruits! Cheers to us!
Hi to Joel and Kunny. Woke early to prepare the games. Another game involve alot of sticky starch whereby members have to apply it on their body.. while others would throw items for them to catch. Bean sprouts, oranges, cherry tomatos were used. Not your typical salad :P

Joel dividing the market buys :) aunt-in-the making!

Sunning the papayas! Hehe note the matching yellow lines.

Everybody! Throw! Catch! or Hide!

No kidding! Thats the watermelon! Yummy never felt that scary.

Wonder were they running towards or away from the "ball" ? Hehe!

Met with some mates earlier... Chris and Andrew(Jia you on M9!)
