I think I drafted this very long ago and got too lazy to blog about it lol

I drafted this like 10 days ago or something.

wilson n I went to tao payoh. he made an appointment to get a new haircut.

nice eh? at least it was something refreshing for all of you who has seen him in his older hairstyle.


on our home

i thought he look kinda cute n younger.

my boss brought this to work and showed us.
might've been a gift from someone.
what is it?
a thumbdrive.
and a "humping dog" one.

works only for laptop (cos of the way the insert is positioned)

how it works is pretty hilarious.

once you insert it into the usb, it'll keep humping non-stop.

abit irritating over the long run.




developed nearly 200 worth of photos and had some of them framed and added to my "wall of friendship".



anyhow, after developing those 200 pics which is pretty much a mix of photos like family, friends, colleagues or just me n wilson, i normally will have a separate photo album to keep photos that has only me n wilson.

soon i realise that photobook is full.

so i went to scout for a new one and found this one that's relatively big and sweet.
at least can hold alot more pics then don't need to keep buying photo album.

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

two days in a row i've met situations that blew my mind and had my froze on the spot.

yesterday while waiting for the green man to turn up at the t-junction between parkway and marine drive with gu n my folks, it was lights up for cars to move upwards to parkway and a STUPID malay (not bcos they're malay that's why i say stupid yea) couple decided to test fate n RIDE a fuckin bicycle across a starting traffic, thinking they can beat the traffic and cheat death.

well they did cheat death but not without the scare.

WHAM!

and an on-going vehicle slammed right into the rear tyre of the bicycle. thank got it just got started so it wasn't at a max speed but it did manage to twist the bike and slam the couple onto the ground.

everyone who witnessed that scene was frozen on the spot with shock. that includes me and my family.

my mom tot they were gonna die. they would've.. if it hit them directly.

the girl hurt her knee.

today, a near 10 cm long centipede got into my house.

well, to my knowledge, centipedes are poisonous and i definitely would not want it wandering around my house. god knows where it'll go.

can you imagine having it turn up in your room and just wiggle across your body while you sleep or something? it went into my toilet. even worse. imagine u wanna shit.

DAMN!

so me n my mom camped outside the toilet waiting for it to show up.

we're SO NOT GONNA LET IT GO so easily.
it's like a must-deal-with-or-we're-in-deep-shit kinda situation.

once i spotted it going up the back of the toilet door i had mom give it a full dose of sheltox. my mom sprayed at the door like no ends meet.

we tried everything from spraying shiteload of sheltox to slamming the door against the wall for it to drop into sight. it didn't. so we waited.

soon i saw it glide out the toilet n into the kitchen floor.

mom sprayed another full dosage till it finally stayed still and wiggled on the spot, positively intoxicated.

then we waited for damn long till it's dead before disposing of it.

gawd.

2ND YEAR ANNIVASARY



surprised my dear with this handmade (hugely oversized) card
and even placed it in a frame! LOL
placed it in a frame and left it on the bed.

countdown to the nxt milestone - third year annivasary!!

long time no blog. been delaying it for a while.

this year's hong bao collection is not fantastic. even though economy is supposed to be getting better, ang pow's are getting slimmer. what used to be filled up with red notes are now left with purple and of a undesirable denomination (i'm superstitious).

anyhow, it's the time of the year where ppl ran out of things to ask you and can ask one question. even if it comes differently phrases from different mouths, it's the same damn question.

"when can i stop giving u ang pow"
"when my turn receive ang pow from you"
"when getting married"

at least my eldest aunt has more sense.

the rest are being typically the "crowd".

for pete's sake i'm only 23 years old.

you wanna sponsor my wedding and care for my kid issit?

hearing such things during the sweetness of your relationship, this can bring slight thrills running down your back and a flush of warm glow up ur cheeks but no, we have more things in our mind to think of. the real deal about marriage.

i just got a dress and settled for it to be my CNY dress.

glad ppl agreed with wad they saw at the gathering.
i had a few nice compliments here and there.

mix and match of unhappy events with bored moments, i seldom had much fun during CNY other than a typical gathering of relatives whom i do somehow miss seeing. but after that few hours of gathering, it's back to woodenly going ard visiting ppl but not enjoying the company much.

then i realised. i really am too solitary. i had close one-to-one friendships but i belong to no close knitted group. thus gatherings seldom involved me.

then i'm thrust back into the past where i recall bitterly those mid-year and year end holidays where i'll stay home doing nothing for few weeks straight.

but at least i have him around with me always and that's comforting enough.

there is however, something left to have me feeling bitter about future gatherings.


in carpark in wilson's neighbourhood

this was another day. we met up with zhiwei and his gf.
but before that, we had to wait in suntec for zhiwei to finish work.


smile.

my dad's turn to show his cooking skill w/o my mom stopping him. heh
and.. dad can get abit extreme. in terms of overfeeding us.

just look at the amount of golden mushroom he thrown into the soup!



but actually, i like golden mushroom alot heh.

another project.

made a crystal angel keychain for helen.
now it's hanging my her hp. heh.

wilson never fails to surprise me and what more a surprise totally unexpected but very sweet nonetheless.

it's quite an amusing sight seeing him half hiding behind a pillar grinning from ear to ear.



lol so that's the sweet surprise.

i know he is awkward about stepping into a florist haha and since it's valentines day and prices of flowers are outrageous, the way he described the florist looked as if she was sharpening her knife when he stepped in was hilarious. like another sucker paying big bucks for flowers lol.

couple of colleagues saw him holding the flowers waiting for me and told me when i returned to the office.

lol



hehehe

Have been busying myself with a few tiny projects lately.

Ever since I bought those new books I've been sucked into a vortex of obsessive reading. Anytime I find myself with a moment to spare, my mind wanders to the story I last read, my hand reaches out to the book which will not be too far away from me and soon, I find myself engrossed in reading until I tear myself away after much reading to only go back to reading it in the next moment.

even so, i still managed to find some time for some handiwork projects... and erm work of course.

soon it'll be my 2nd year anniversary with wilson. yes it's been two years and time does fly. the official date of our anniversary falls on the 25th which will be a sunday, and already, wilson thought of what he would like me to cook for him.

besides that, i launched into a mini-project to make a card, or rather, display card for him as a gift. it will be framed up in my room once it's done but still, a gift from me to him.

it's not quite completed yet. i still need the frame.

here's just a sneak preview for you of what it SORT OF looked like.



you'll get a better look once it's all done. wouldn't want wilson sneaking a peek from blog to know what i've made for him. i'm quite happy with how it turned out actually.

besides that, i've had two colleagues with their birthdays coming up. one is next week so i've not made a gift for her yet.

as for the birthday girl who's birthday so happened to fall on the valentine's day EVE,

i made her two stuff.
one i made her chose a design and colours.
the second was impromptu but it turned out great.

the ring

ok this is the impromptu one

i took two shots.

one with the new owner's hands...



she's the same height and about the same size as me to i used my fingers as the guide for how wide my ring should be and it fitted her fingers just right!

AND, i took another shot on its own and played with this technique sano showed me from an online professional tip. turned out really nice.



...and the phone strap.

i took quite a while to finish this up. it's not toooo easy but it's not that hard either.

since i'm using a nylon wire, it's a little stubborn and warps in direction less than desirable and i had to sorta twist it into shape and FINALLY, and thank god, i managed to pull it off.

i did learn alot about what kinda beads would be right, pro and cons, techniques to use and avoid and why it is impt to choose the right beads of the right sizes or it'll be a waste of effort and money when you can't finally complete the project right.

it's all the more frustrating since though i'm not a perfectionist to the core, i'm a perfectionist nonetheless when it's gifts from the heart that should be totally sincere. one wrong twist or a wrong knot or missing a bead is very intolerable. i often find myself cutting up the wire in frustration (3 times in total) when near completion and simply re-do.

but in the end it's all worth it i guess.

Dear Heizai passed away at night on Feb 3rd, 2007.
It has lost weight drastically for the past few weeks and though besides its weight loss, there's no visible signs of illness, we've lost Heizai.

So I did up a collage of Heizai.

Still remember the time when I first bought it, it was really tiny and small. Could hardly fit into my hands cos it's so small and in over a year it grew and grew and filled up my hands.

byebye heizai.

love,
ur mom n dad.

muahaha 2 plastic bags worth of books. crazy shite.

the girl from the bookstore was super fast with the wrapping of the books! she was helping me a wrap a protective layer. had helen help me carry the 2nd plastic bag of books hahaha we went to the info counter to redeem wadever that's redeemable... end up is red packets. cheh.

Sano's eyes are so gonna pop out from these!! *points below*

Death Note Merchandises!!!!
sadly, it's not mine to keep shucks! but oh well I get to flip around and take a look at them before scanning every single one of the postcards to send to sano. tsk. such a gd friend i am.

YOU OWE ME MAKAN K BOY!


Death Note Merchandises (CLICK TO ENLARGE)

So... what's available?

1. Death Note Note Book (with all the rules and scribbles of Light)
2. KeyChain
3. Postcards! Or rather... cards with drawings and rules behind.

The drawings are all pretty neat.

I bought a pair of black velvet heels for $19.90 from Century Square to go with some of the dresses I have. It's a very nice pair of heels that's very flattering to wear with BUT, my poor feet don't really suit pointed tip heels of ANY kind and even though this pair lasted really long on my feet w/o much pain but after many hours of walking, my feet is crying in pain man.

Conclusion: can only wear for max of 3 - 4 hours.



I walked and walked and walked in these and wah lau. wanna die. hahahaha but! it's not as bad as when i was wearing my white hush puppies strapped heels. that one, the heel super high, my feet, pain like HELL. like.. almost tempted to just take out my heels and walk barefooted. I is damn stupid also actually, shld've known not to wear that if I'm going to walk loads.

Kelv kor's gonna go INDIA again for NS. another round of curry. But he did promise to cook for mwe before he flies off hehehehe something to do with chicken so I'm gonna standby my camera to take lotsa shots! talkin about camera, I lent my digicam to burger (wilson's friend) cos he's going for S.H.E concert. hope it's safe n sound my dear camera!!! and when he returns it to me to upload the pics I can get a sneak peak lol

ok and I digress. back to kelv. what about kelv? oh yea, and he also promised to bring us to try out some makan places when he's back and I'll bring him to International Plaza to try the korean food soon. *wide grin* ok i need to diet lar!

i brought kelv to makan botakjones on sat. actually is jio him join me n gu cos the two of us wanted to makan there.

besides our main dishes, i ordered Jalapeno Chilli stuffed with Cheese for Wilson to try!
$6 bucks man! wah lau. the seeds were removed so I guess that tones down the spiciness by alot and wilson is mad lah. say not hot. to me, mildy spicy. but it's not the kind of spicy u'll get from eating our normal red chilli. this one is a tad more pepperish but oh god the cheese....


Jalapenos Chilli stuffed with Cheese
(CLICK TO ENLARGE)

...and I was saying THE CHEESE....!



just take a look inside! white portion is cheese, a tad greenish stuff on the lower part is the chilli.
kor say it's not easy to get these from random markets. must look ard. he was mentioning jason's market or something. the cheese was really soft and nice.. and sticky-ish. i like.

oh yea before we head out to kelv kor i actually took a shot of our carpark's fat cat. this time, we threw in gu's feet for comparison.



funny thing is, it meowed at us then came over to headbutt our legs again before... plopping down on the ground like that.

we got an uncle here who always takes care of fat cat and feeds it. then we notice how everytime fat cat gets too dirty like... not so white, it'll MIA a few days and return all sparkly white!!! we suspect...the uncle bring fat cat home to bathe.

must be!!!

but damn funny to think about.

i'm bidding my time to find the chance to take more pics of the cats in my neighbourhood. there's a chocolate coated munchkin at the kopitiam there. it's very cute n fat. choc fur but white paws and chest and uber short frontlegs.

so far always too many ah pek there so... yes i must bid my time for the right moment.

i've actually managed to achieve some of the items i placed on my 2007 wishlist!

..i'm gonna get my terry goodkind books today!
..I got FMA the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa!

more to come more to come!

i went shopping 2 days straight and i still cant find ANYTHING i like.

my colleague got married yday and i went for her wedding dinner at
Chef Chan's Restaurant (click name for link) yesterday in the afternoon. it's an afternoon banquet. The restaurant is located in Odeon Tower. In between CHIJMES and Bras Basah Complex. The food is not bad and the interior decor of the restaurant takes up a very traditional air. The menu is slightly different from the usual (at least no ee-noodles or wadever).

We had shark's fin, prawns, roasted chicken this is very good, steamed sea-bass i don't eat fish so i don't know if this is good, mushrooms with vegetables, glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leave can't really taste the lotus leave as well as the ones i had in tea chapter, glutinous rice balls which was super soft and once you bite into it, it almost melts away!, and century egg puff which was the chef's specialty but i don't like century egg so wilson ate it all up instead.


all ready to go

most of my colleagues came and i was seated with the group of colleagues whom i'm comfortable with so the dining experience was fairly enjoyable. but i think one bad thing about having a wedding banquet in the afternoon is there's almost this lack of closure. like after the last dish is served people started leaving and you almost don't notice it's time to go. unlike when dinner is at night, it drags on for quite a while and you feel the ceremony ending when it does end. there was this little hiccup earlier on when i arrived and there was no one in the reception area to take names or the red packets wadsoever so there was this confused mob including myself standing around for quite awhile before knowing what's going on.

i liked the decor but there was the down points as well. the waiter/waitresses don't really check on the cups of the guest to refill drinks. we either had to self-serve or call for them before we get our cups refilled. some of the plates n chopsticks wasn't clean and had stuff stucked!! my HR mgr was like QC-ing all our plates n chopsticks and cups after she found stuff on hers. lol

i overhead them saying that the restaurant might be closed down soon cos the Chef's retiring?? not sure how true this is but kelv kor say he'll still do private functions. heh

the last time checked, kelv hasn't updated his blog yet about our makan trip at botakjones (he said he will) so i'll check another time and post a link here when he does.

Check out Kelvin's write-up on his makan experience @ botakjones!

Wish List 2007

• The other 9 Terry Goodkind books.
• Thumbdrive
• Graphic Pen
• Try out Stone Grill restaurant
• Go Hong Kong/Taiwan
• Make a beaded necklace for myself
• Make soup for gu (lotus seed soup)
• DVD Drive
• FMA the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa
• finally develop my photos... like few hundred of them..

Been a really long time since I've last blogged man.. things to talk about are starting to pile up with all those photos to share. think can't drag it any longer =__="

My back muscles are slightly aching from the work out (or rather, lack of it) at bedok's gym with gu. woke up pretty early in the morning to get there but once i was there i'm abit stunned by -

first - the crowd,
and second - all the beefy guys (eee...)

i don't really erm.. fancy guys with over-developed muscles. looks very unproportionate. O_o

been eating a lot lately especially korean food haha just last friday I've met up with my ex-colleague and a colleague to go try out the korean restaurant located in International Plaza (nxt to Tanjong Pagar mrt stn) and it was good!!! actually three of us reached earlier but the 4 makan-steer was late so we walked around but seriously other that the super exaggeratingly long corridor with 10 lifts (i'm serious!) there's nothing much to see. it's a very old building with rather auntie shops BUT, there's gramaphone haha so that's where we stayed to kill time. when we were outside the restaurant there's only one group of customers inside and the staff wasn't able to converse in english (cos from china). lady boss was korean of course. we were led to a private room (woo!) and sat there while flipped the menu pages around excitedly. LC quite kanchiong (i bullshit la) cos she keep poking menu while ordering frm the staff LOL think the staff very stressed le. we took quite awhile to order cos there's quite alot of selection... only thing is that it's pretty pricey We order quite little but the serving is quite a lot so we were all pretty stuffed. We had korean rice cakes (damn chewy) and steamboat (with ramyeon in a big bowl of soup, 6 side dishes and rice for each and every one of us!)

i like my stuff hot and spicy so when i tasted the soup i was like "wooooooo.." hahahaha then when i had the rice cake i "woooooooo.."-ed again lol and so my colleagues were all asking me if it tasted good and all i did was woo and asked them to try. the kimchi was quite a killer. much stronger tasting that the normal kimchi i've tasted in terms of sourness and spiciness but it was good.



gu was the first one to throw in the towel and surrender. there's too much food and we were seriously stuffed.

but it was good food lah. we spent around $66+ in total so that's around $16.50 per pax. decent enough for restaurant lah i guess.

oh yea, one note, we used wooden chopsticks instead of the typical metal and flat one. i thought that was kinda weird although we did use the metal spoon with a longer handle like we would commonly see on korean dramas.

if you guys r interested to check the restaurant out, here's the add:
Koryo Jeong Korean Restaurant

TOGI on another hand, was a different story.
This restaurant is located in Katong area. I don't have the add except I know how to walk there (cos near my area) heh.


metal chopsticks

They had metal chopsticks!!! actually... it's not so easy to use cos it's FLAT. took quite a while to hold it right and grip my food properly.


Chicken Bibimbap

Can you imagine you got all these for just ten bucks!? alot can.

i ordered beef ramyeon. so sad!!!! no yuh gae jeang!!! wah lau!!


beef ramyeon

xxxxxxxxxxxx

actually just couple of nights ago wilson won a soccer bet and had to treat me n CL chicken wings + teh peng... HE LOST AGAIN AHAHAHAHHAHA so now we won yet another round of chicken wing + teh pengs. life's good man. *smirks*

i've bought a beaded jewellery making book lately and was trying out one of the designs.



...and tada...!



actually it was pretty fun to make. think i'll try the other designs soon..erm.. after i get a fatter paycheck.

oh well for the new year i DID accomplish some stuff.

1. i finally bought a decent compartmentalized box to keep my jewellery parts.
2. i finally washed my hamster tank after 2 weeks (they stink like hell).
3. i finally brought feng to botak jones and i think she loves it!

What intend to do is...

bring kelv kor to try the tanjong pagar korean food!
cos he's so sweet he said he was gonna cook for me n wilson over this weekend!

i had a CNY dinner with my aunt earlier last week along with my other cousins. i'm mildly surprised that they don't know any dialects at all. not even cantonese cos that's the most common language spoken in the family although our family's dialect is hainanese. we had the dinner in crystal jade and OMG i think the bill was like SGD400!? depending on the size of bryan's eyeball when he peeked at the bill.

his eyeballs were pretty big at that time.

I also did realised that since i have telepark pass... i can get 10% discount from subway woo!!

hehehehe

last but not the least....

i'm sooooooooo excited abt pam's wedding dinner in jan and jamesy's in feb!

Hohoho is over but I had a splendid weekend not with hoo-haa celebrations but the very fact that it was both Christmas itself as well as my annivasary with wilson (1 yr 10 mths!).

being able to spending time together is gd enough for me but my dear suggested us going out.

bcos of the random downpour/drizzles, wilson know i'm gonna grumble alot so he got smart today. suggested we take bus instead and truly, that minimized my grumbles down to zero! hahahahaha something to shield you from the rain is always better.

initially our plans were to go eat botak jones BUT, it's both a MONDAY (they close on all mondays) and a public holiday, so we had to scrap that plan and head for plan B. so what's plan B? A random trip to marina square that is! havent' been there for quite awhile so we decided to go there instead. but before that we headed back to wilson's house first to grab a letter, brainwashed his brother into driving us to go visit his mom and subsequently sending us back out to a nearby bus stop (bro so sweet aye?) and from there we took yet another bus to suntec city. didn't really walk ard in suntec at all cos we've been there pretty often so we head straight to marina square instead. walked around window shopping, i actually cant remember much of what i did. haha! maybe just happy walking around and rambling nonsense with my gu. think we talked alot of cock. i remembered us having walked into bearyhip and there were all these cute soft toys and a door knob cover!!

everywhere else is starting to have sale and of course, BALENO too lah! so gu bought a pair of jeans there hehehe $25 only! so now wilson completed task 2 of year 2006. what a splendid day.

me? i accidentally *ahem* let myself into ZARA and impulsively bought a dress.


i bought this!!

Having spare cash around is dangerous for my erm.. wallet's health so i decided to surrender my money over for savings tonight to my mommy.

How can we not have taken pictures together on a christmas!?
yea!?

so here goes lol.



we took this shot from level two. we were previously @ level one just right below those dangling purple balls you see in the background. wilson was looking up and walking left and right. he say the ball might fall down and hit us and since he's taller (abit) than me, he'll get hit first. or mebbe he'll slam them towards me. wah lau.

anyway, i'm probably gonna meet up with yifeng for botak jones this weekend and shaikha to teach her EXCEL. i still wanna pass iman and lijun their presents. haiz.

sunday wilson and i watched movie with sano n nadiah.

taiyou no uta aka midnight sun.

not bad but i prob won't buy the DVD/VCD to keep. I like the songs though. They're pretty gd. Not implying that it's a bad movie. Interested ppl may still give it a shot. the reason why i won't buy the DVD for keepsake is probably cos i didn't think the story was strong enough.

with my kino vouchers *bdae & xmas exchange) i bought up quite a no. of stuff (that i wanted of course. calculated purchase yea.)

• Organizer for 2007
• Beaded Jewellery making book
• Fantasy book by Terry Goodkind

met up with chingling at night to claim my chicken wings and teh peng lol. they decided to bet once again and we went up to CL's hse and this time the match was a draw AGAIN and so i won another meal of chicken wings LOL!

i swear they don't dare ask me go along when they bet already. i keep winning for nothing hahahaha

i intend to get mushishi sometime next week cos i didn't have the chance this week. the rain is not making things any easier.

Here's what I've gotten for xmas from my sweet sweet colleagues!!!

wah lau. lotsa movies i wanna watch.

HOW NO MONEY! lol or rather, i'm spoilt with choices and i don't know which to watch on the big screen! (i intend to watch some on rented VCD/DVD instead...)

1. Taiyou no Uta aka Midnight Sun
2. The Holiday
3. Eragon
4. Curse of the Golden Flower (I'm just curious...)
5. Confession of Pain
6. Babel

Dec 16 - XMAS PARTY @ ATUL'S

On a Sat we had a xmas celebration cum dinner at Atul's condo.

But before that, I had some issues at work and got woken up by a phone call at 10AM (damn!) and had to subsequently rush back to office to deal with it. poor wilson had to wake up along with me and so i pacified him with Helen's lollipop stash as well as a chrysanthenum packet drink from our pantry *hehehe*

Finally what I can do is done, we had out to visit Wilson's mom and afterwards we left to go to upper east coast rd's Beach Road Prawn Mee and had our long-time-no-eat hokkien mee as gor pang (aka. 五香 or basically some chinese food lah)

i forgot what we did afterwards. probably went home to rest for awhile before heading out again at around 5pm or so to buy some pastries to bring to the xmas party. oh yea i remembered wrapping presents at home. there's supposed to be a gift exchange.

when wilson and I got to the condo not many people arrived yet but there was our editor and his cute cute dog!!!! i don't really like flat muzzle dogs esp shi tzu. always thought they're quite ugly but this dog quite cute! like... furry and fluffy hahaha then it hardly barked except on a few occasions where his owner walked away for awhile. it's super attached to its owner. whenever the owner walks away slightly it'll whimper and cry and eventually bark once.

it has the IKEA heart-shaped cushion wrapped round its collar. haha



there was then Atul (duh!), and basically there was around 8 of us who's there (including me).

The rest came slightly later but there was the roast turkey and roast beef and roast lamb and roast ham hahahahahha then there were my pastries, wayne's sushi, curry, birthday cake (someone's bdae!) and etc etc

played some simple games and then came the gift exchange. wah lau i got toilet seat cover lor! hahahaha pengz. another producer of ours kena toilet cleaning brush. lol!



around 11pm - 12am some of the ppl left but there was still some of us who stayed on so we played some card games. I LOST ALL MY COINS BASKET! hahahaha anyway, by the time we got home it was around 2am. (die lah!!!!!)

why die?

cos i'm supposed to meet LC and her friends for the Tree Top Walk.

I'M SUPPOSED TO WAKE UP AT 6.30am!!!

i DID wake up at 6.30 to give Min Hung a wake up call but me n wilson soon fell back asleep lol! then we took turn jabbing each other but continued lying till a phonecall from LC send us flying hahahaha by the time i took that call it was 7:10am!!! she was like, "we're on our way".

i jumped out of bed and chiong to the kitchen to brush my teeth.

shockingly, we made it to dwnstairs to get into the car on time wahahahaha

so we are heading to the reservoir. Helen was supposed to come and join us BUT she got home late last night so end up cannot come *ceh!*

but actually hor, think even if she came also cannot make it. damn difficult to walk.


reservoir

it started to drizzle a little but we walked on without any umbrella. it was a pretty long journey but you could see lotsa senior citizens jogging and families having their day-out. as you get further along the trail, there's less people in sight and it gets pretty tiring and tough to walk. it's worse than pulau ubin. from what i've heard, there's only 3 years left before HSBC stop sponsoring for the maintenance of the Tree Top Walk. Thereafter I think it'll get kinda run down and perhaps even dangerous. the slopes we tiring and some areas started getting muddy because of the rain. for me, it seems like an never-ending walk with the gravel sound behind you while we crapped and chatted along the way. didn't see any animals or wadever.

Here's the suspension bridge!!!



actually we took lotsa shots here but it was with LC's friend's camera. i took the above 2 shots with my handphone instead.


one bite from it and that's it.

towards the later part of the walk it started raining CRAZILY. serious. crazy downpour. we had to start walking with our umbrellas and what's worse was that me n wilson, we were wearing slippers all these while!!!

but then again, besides having the sand going btwn our feet and the slipper that caused much discomfort, it's all in all that bad an idea cos imagine u're on trackshoe then end up it gets soaked and your socks are wet. u're link is so gonna stink man. we walked for damn long and still the trail has not ended and i'm getting damn tired and couldn't think straight anymore. had to hang on to wilson for support to drag myself and keep walking.

when we finally FINALLY got out, it was 3 hours later.

then we saw monkeys. well, at least that's something! the monkeys are smaller than i expected! the babies one are damn cute. then saw some mother monkies carrying their babies.



darnest things these monkeys do. they were like digging the ground for insects, checking out each other's butt. grooming and all and i was about to move forward to get a better shot of the monkeys and two stupid china teenaged girls just rudely came into the picture and were posing for their own photos. idiot.

we went for bah kut teh @ eunos after we left the reservoir. after "lunch", wilson and i took a bus home from the interchange and after a bathe, we went to nap immediately haha

I caught sight on a RAINBOW in Bedok Interchange!!!!

It's not a lot but it's something and it has been awhile since i last saw a rainbow. rainbows are nice to look out and as i stood staring at it i can see it gradually fading away so i decided to take a pic to capture its remaining moment.



i met up with karen on thursday. it's been quite a long while since i last saw her or even chatted with her online cos she's been busy with exams n all for the past month or so.

i met up with her right after work for dinner and to chat up and also to give her the tomato keychain i made for her. to me it's a tomato lah but to her she calls it apple lol so.. apple lor!

my keychain has been raising debate in my office about whether it shld be tomato or cherry.

we had a long chat but before that, we had our dinner at plaza sing in long john and i was given this belated present heh



it's supposed to be a pencil holder.
the keychain was a mini-lighter. karen say it was supposed to light up but there were only sparks. wilson was asking me to put some kerosene on it. O_o

i took it to put in my office liao along



i thought it was abit too troublesome to be putting my stationery inside so i decided to put sweets instead heh cos if not the photo frame will like "block" me each time i wanna grab a pen or something.

xxxxxxxxxx

We had a xmas lunch celebration on the 15th of Dec and it was quite a spread but i only liked the chicken breast meat hahahahaha

couldn't like take a pic of the trays open with all the food cos by then all the big bosses are around. very malu. then all the hungry ppl started crowding around already.



we had a gift exchange shortly after and also some announcements (BONUS!) WOO! and also that the company's gonna give us an extra off day on the 29th so it's a super uber long weekend for me!~!

i requested for a kino voucher so that's what i got for my gift exchange heh. i knitted a tomato keychain for a colleague of mine and intend to do one for a few more other colleagues.
