New Year Resolutions

Gee..I'm right on time. I promised a friend that I'll post my new year resolutions on my blog, just to make it official. Been busy & tired the past week that I almost forgot to ponder & wonder for my resolutions. Hmm..let's see...

1. Find a job.
-Maybe a different industry, different environment, different people. I intend to step up my efforts in landing a new job next year. I hope I get THAT job though...

2. Healthier lifestyle
-Excercise, detox & eat healthily! I think I need to lose a couple of kilos or I won't look good on my 23rd year..

3. Upgrading works..
- Superhero pestering me to learn driving. I may need to take some courses too..if I have the time & money that is. Whatever it is, I must do some self upgrades..if i don't wanna be left out!

4. Bring out the Good in ME!
-I wanna be nicer, happier, more patient, independent, treat Superhero better, prettier...and the list goes on.. :)

Happy New Year everyone! May 2006 be a good one for everybody...

Dinner At The Bistro...

I felt like being a romantic girlfie today, so I planned to have a cosy dinner with Superhero. I read about this new dining place at Mount Faber, called Faber Hill Bistro at the Straits' Times. When I called up to make enquiries, the staff was like unsure of the menu & range of prices. My call was transfered a couple of times but anyways, decided to give it a try.

We took the cable car to Sentosa and then to Mount Faber. It's so nice to be up in the air for awhile, to calm our nerves down. Superhero was already stoning coz he was getting hungry! He didn't know where I was taking him of course...

The bistro's location is nice but before we even sat down, I was bitten by a mosquito. After we ordered, I was bitten twice again! Now, I get very irritated by mosquitoe bites & I hope it won't spoil my evening! Superhero ordered a Salmon Platter & I had Spaghetti Bolognaise. (When I'm in a new eating place, I'll go for the basics, you see). If you ask me, the food was just okay. Nothing out of the ordinary. I guess the staff are new coz they don't seem to be familiarised with the menu or the surroundings. I noticed that the patron was teaching the service staff on how to serve wine at another table! Goodness.. & we are paying for service charge worr...

Superhero & I finished off with a serving of tiramisu. Interesting one, coz we were expecting a cake kind but it came as a crunchy bowl-like cone with tiramisu flavoured ice cream & some sweet stuff in it. All for $13! Hmmm...it's hard to get a decent tiramisu up on a hill yah..

Well, go Mount Faber for the walk & if you feeling-feeling Genting Highland in Singapore. But other than that, skip the meals up there & just proceed to Liang Seah Hawker Centre for good Indian food instead...

Sleepless in CCK (Part 2)

Hmm..it's 3 am local time. I'm still stoned in front of my computer screen. I don't know what to think, what to feel or what to do. The best thing of all, I can't sleep! Even if I lie on my bed, I'll be tossing & turning so much till I see the so called stars sparkling from my celing.

Hmm.. I heard a story from a friend just now. She's sad. Work is already so tough & she's trying to spend time with her loved ones. But too bad, things are not exactly going her way. She thinks she's strong enough to pull this off, but in actual fact, she's only human. At the end of the day, she just want everyone to be happy.

Hmm.. I want eveyone to be happy too, really.

Still walking..but down the narrow corridor. We are good at "feeling-feeling". :) 

Walking up the long & winding pavement.. 

We and the Musical~

This week, myself and Superhero got 2 off days from our work! He's nice to plan to watch a musical, since we have not watched one together before. He chose " Oi! Sleeping Beauty! The Wake Up Musical". Honestly, I don't really enjoy musicals coz I don't like the idea of singing and acting at the same time but, this local production is very good! It's funny, witty and entertaining. Especially with the likes of Selena Tan, Pam Oei & Chua Enlai..they are hilarious. Superhero was laughing throughout the musical.. :)

After watching the musical, me and Superhero also got a lil artsy fartsy. Haha..just look at the pics above...

We watched our first musical together! 

Chilling with THE Music and THE Book.

Superhero has came back & he bought me a CD compilation & guess what..a BOOK! Goodness, it's been ages since I read a book until the fact that whenever I read one, I feel sleepy! Haha..but since he bought me one, i might as well cultivate reading again. It's "Memoirs of a Geisha". I can't wait for the movie too...

Sighs..Superhero lost his Ipod the other day! He left it in the cab. Whatsmore, I was the one who bought him the Ipod. We are both sad larr.. coz the Ipod means a lot to us. There were good memories & he loves the gadget.. :(

We went to Gramaphone just now, fishing for something cool to listen to. I decided on "Too Chilled". It's a compilation of those lounge/electronica kinda music. Superhero bought something downtempo, a mixed of fusion & oriental they call it. We thought it's really 2 for 1 price of a CD but soon, we realised that the 2 CDs in each compilation is the same! It's like, Disc 1 and Disc 2 contain the same songs but different remixes only!

Chey..our feelings are cheated AGAIN...

Sleepless in CCK

I don't think I can sleep properly tonight. It's not exactly about work. My day, though started off busy, it went okay still. What made me excited today was that someone is coming back home..after being away for only awhile. I thought we could meet up for a bit so I tried to finish my work as fast as I can. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out the way I hope it would be & I ended up walking around Bugis St by myself. Retail therapy helps I guess..

Honestly, I feel that what some people have thoughts about me is that I'm one who's bad, unreasonable and not understanding. I'm quite sarcastic at times, but my weakest point is that I'm sensitve. Kinda sad when I'm very sincere about things, the other party thinks that I'm just..paranoid? I don't ask a lot, I just want people to see where I'm coming from. But, well.. I often got misunderstood AGAIN. They think I'm forcing them to do things my way... I just hate THAT feeling! Why can't someone so close to me understand even if the whole World don't?

There's this song by Kasey Chambers:

"Am I not pretty enough? Is my heart too broken? Do I cry too much? Am I too outspoken?
Don't I make you laugh? Should I try it harder? Why do you see right through me?

I live, I breathe, I let it rain on me. I sleep, I wake, I try hard not to break. I crave, I love, I've waited long enough. I try as hard as I can".

You know, maybe I should just ignore what others think of me. It's sad, hurtful and frustrating, but I believe that I've done my best. But..hhmmm..sighs~

Boring Weekend....I NEED A HOLIDAY!

Yesterday was my off day..after working for almost 10 days consecutively. Superhero is not in town so I decided to spend quality time with myself. :) Went for a body massage & scrub with my best friend at a Balinese spa along Arab St. It was good..I mean..since when a massage isn't good, right? I wish I could just stay at the spa the whole day& pamper myself silly. Hehe..I also went to Raffles Hospital to do a chemical peel on my face before that. Now my face is red from the peeling & I can't wear make-up for a week! I look real ugly now..

Like I said, Superhero is not in town till next week. And he hasn't call me even once since he went away..Sad sad sad. Wonder what he's up to over there...

My favourite Assistant Manager is flying off to Japan tonight for a 6 month cross-exposure at one of the Hotels there. Aww...when's my turn?! I do not want to be stuck in Singapore forever! But I love my home. Keke~

Still actively plotting a short getaway early next year though.... :)

Little Updates~

New Year is just around the corner! Well..it's actually in a month's time. Anyway, it's those time of the year which I'll really sit one corner, pondering and wondering for my new year resolutions. For next year..I think....hmmm...I may share just on the new year itself! But one of the resolutions, definitely, to earn more money!

I wanna go on a trip! I feel like celebrating my birthday early next yr somewhere out of this island. Some of the places I dream to go are..Phuket..Phi Phi Island..Bali or some beach in Malaysia. I wish I can go to CAIRNS though.. but have to save cash for that. I'm planning to travel with my girlfriends from Poly soon coz' one of them is getting married next yr but looks like the trip has to be postponed again coz' I can't get away this yr. Tsk..SUCKS.

My Collegues..in our happier moment at Work 

The 5 BIG Stresses..For Me (at least)

Stress 1: I'm sooo glad it's end of the week! Very tiring, frustrating & irritating week I had. I'm just done with 1 big corporate group & yet..more to come when I was doing my group arrival forecast for the next 2 weeks! In addition, I made a blunder on my cashiering and had to top up an amt from my own pocket. I deserve it coz it's my negligence and I was so mad with myself. I work about 10-12 hrs daily & my stuff just kept piling. I think I'm going bonkers soon...

Stress 2: There are people like gossipers, rumourers & kaypohers around me! I just hate it when they ask me things which I don't like to be asked & it's none of their business in the first place. I try to ignore them, but I can't help it being sensitive. If I don't bother these people, why in the World must they bother me? Get lost larr....

Stress 3: Money no enough! I mean, it's NEVER enough. Humans are a greedy & not easy to be satisfied lot so maybe I'm one too. Wanna save but sooo hard to save. I like to shop but must not shop a lot! Many wants than needs.. Cultivate cultivate...be a good saver.

Stress 4: I think I'm putting on weight..or is it just becoz I haven't excercise in ages. Hehe..if my memory didn't fail me, the last time I hit the gym was last year! Ok ok..I try to cut down on fatty food (which is even harder than saving money) and excercise often. Must maintain...

Stress 5: Find another job! I'm choosy but I want a job that fits my needs & wants. Like working for Company X. Though pay not that high, I won't have to worry about full-house situation all the time. Or working for Company Y, where the money is fantastic, can go round the World & I won't be so stressed! But all is easier said than done..I shall put in extra extra effort to find THAT job!

Though I'm like sooo stressed, I know there're others who are in a more dire straits than me. So, at the moment, I'll just listen to my good lil' Nano & cross my fingers that it will be a better tomorrow...

Me, Birkenstock and...NANO!!

My Superhero gave me an Ipod Nano!!! Advanced birthday present he said.... I was so touched that I almost cried. It's white and the size is 4GB! Now, I can walk in my Birkenstock, listen to my fav songs & read a good book! Haha..sounds kinda chic. Superhero's a great boyfie, & not because he gave me a Nano..but he really stood by me, giving me all the courage & support that I need.

Can't wait for next Feb! That'll be the end of my cross-exposure of a group co-ordinator. Stressfull worr! Stressful means, I'll eat more, frust more, tired more & won't get to see Superhero often. But.. I believe I can endure!

Went jalan raya with my friends & Superhero today. There's a good meal at almost every house. Lontong, mee siam, pizza & hokkien mee...Yummy!~ Just that I couldn't visit HIS's place.. Anyway, I try to upload the cute pics..provided my best friend willing to send me via email...

So..till then..it's a Monday tomorrow, a brand new week..I pray that it'll be good!

Retail Therapy Day!

I have a serious prob.. I can't seem to hate shopping! Well..though I'm getting broke, it DOES feel gd to own things dat I always wanted to get.. I only feel the pinch much later..like the nite after all that shopping..

Went out with my best friend. My initial intention was just to accompany her but in the end, I spent as much as her! I bought:

1. A MAC Lip Glass in Viva Glam 4. (Price: $26)
It's a nice lip gloss, natural and lasting! Make me feel & look gd of course...

2. Birkenstock- New Sundays Earth. (Price: $129)
Finally..they have my size!! I luuure the sandals..make my dull feet looks kinda cute. Haha...

3. Birkenstock- English Garden (Price: $99)
I just couldn't resist buying this pair as well! It looks classic and sweet..My best friend was like.."Can't you wait till next month?!" Superhero gonna scream at me!

************************************

I ordered MacDonald's delivery and decided to have just plain cheeseburger. I was eating half-way & wondered how come something seemed to be missing...and I realised..NO CHEESE! I flipped the wrapper, thinking that it was a hamburger instead. But..no...it's a cheeseburger wrapper indeed! Hmmp...MacDonald's cheated my feelings...

The cheeseburger WITHOUT the cheese! 

Then came English Garden..so that I can feel like a gal next door! 

It's called New Sundays Earth..colourful as a rainbow..to brighten my days! 

The proud participants of Hari Raya Marathon... 

The Marathon of Hari Raya!

It was definitely an enjoyable outing yesterday. Went from house to house with my colleagues..a total of 6 houses! Started after morning shift at about 6pm with Tampines, then down to SengKang , AMK, Woodlands, CCK & ended at Jurong East. There were 8 of us..We cracked lotsa jokes and said something cute about each house & rm. The most neatest one will be..Nassir's! His rm is as neat as a newly-wed's rm! Very cosy and clean! Nicest living room goes to Faizal's...Kinda authentic and a feel like Bali ya know.. Lastly and unfortunately, the messiest rm belongs to Helmi! Gosh..It's really really like a BACHELOR'S pad no doubt! Haha..my colleagues said my rm is neat and nice too.. Well, thanks to my my mom's nagging lorr...

I like to sing to my Superhero these days..feeling feeling..haha :)

**************************************

Let me share a dumb conversation at work today...

Me (calling the porter on the phone) : Gd Afternoon, the guest in Room #1222, needs help with the luggage. To bring it down to the Concierge.

Famous Blur Porter (sounds blur..as usual) : The room number?

Me (louder, clearer & slower) : Room 1-2-2-2

Famous Blur Porter (sounds even more blur) : So where're the luggage??

Me (rolling my eyes) : Obviously lying in the room!

Famous Blur Porter (agitated) : Oei....so fierce for what???!!! Who's that ah?

Me (sweetly) : It's NO-RA-IN

Famous Blur Porter: Oh okay...thank you.

Me: Duh!!!~!!! Pls let me forgive and forget these people....

Super Holidays..

Wishin Superhero Gal and all Muslims Selamat Hari Raya Eid...! and also not forgetting Happy Deepavali to all hindus.... Happy Holidays All...!

Work Slogger

Hmm...Work sucks. Nothing new. Gonna suck even more by end of this week when some of the trainees are leaving. Kinda sad coz they're really a bunch of nice kids & just when we start to have the work chemistry, their attachment are over. Plus..they are from Temasek Poly, my ex sch! Sighs.. All gd things must come to an end..

Nowadays, I ponder and wonder on what I wanna achieve, what are my goals etc.. The other wk, I went for an interview at XXX Co. They had job openings but I failed during the interview. *Dissappointed* I wanna try again next time, but maybe..it's not meant to be..

Any kind soul out there to help me?

And Maria is always so excited to snap a pic with dear Me.. 

The 3 meenahs on a dinner cum gossip session 1 Saturday evening...Say "cheese".. 

Date with Superhero!

It was a busy day to start with..heavy departures and arrivals as well. Gosh...I was on my toes non-stop and couldn't wait to get off work to meet my Superhero. By the time I met him, he was all bored coz he waited like some time for me.

Broke fast at Thai Express Paragon. I tell you..it's the best Thai Express outlet I went so far. Service is prompt and I mean real prompt. Staff is friendly..I'm impressed! Had Thai jade green laksa, while Superhero had soft shell curry crab. He didn't quite like Thai Express food before, but nowadays, he seems ok with it. :)

I couldn't believe we walked from Wheelock Place to Plaza S'pura. So shagged but I enjoyed every date with Superhero. Took cab home and guess wat...I slept on him..AGAIN. Sheesh..he's left to enjoy the night ride by himself..while I dozed off on his shoulder..

All My Life.......

Geylang Geylang....

As the title suggests, I went to Geylang today! I managed to convince my Superhero to come with me though he detest the idea of shopping in a crowded place like Geylang. But c'mon, it's not often and it's one of those times where we can get in touch with our Malay Society. I need to "survey" on the baju kurungs, kuehs and hmm..men as well! Hehe..

There're lotsa setbacks for me these days, some of which made me really depressed. Thank God, I have my Superhero with me and that's all I need actually. He gave me a tight hug just now and for once, all the troubles seem so far away... :)

On the way to Work

I was on afternoon shift today & as usual took the train to City Hall at about 1pm. I hate it when there're no seats for me coz dat means I have to stand all the way..not forgetting the 8 hrs at work. Anyway...as I was standing, my eyes roamed ard the last cabin. And there were this Indian couple dat caught my eye. The boyfren had a passport in his hand, kept pointing to it & flipped thru the pages for the galfren to see. Seems as if the guy was trying to convince the gal something but the gal just ignored him. Sighs...fancy arguing in the MRT. A while after dat..I saw the guy CRYING! He shook his head, spoke Tamil to the gal and there were tears in his eyes again. How glam was that!

Lotsa ppl ard Suntec..being a typical weekend. I decided to take the overhead bridge to cross over from Suntec to Millenia Walk coz it was soooo HOT. At one corner, near to Suntec's Starbucks, I saw a lady ranting at her son & the son cried so loudly. Aiyorr....and THEN, this man walking in front of me just shouted "Oei!!!" to the mother & son! I was like.."Whoa..cool". Everybody ard stared at the man but anyways, he just act blur.

My oh my...what a Sunday afternoon. Work better be good....

Me, myself and I

Sushi & Birkenstock

It's girls' day out! My Assistant Manager (AM) is sweet enough to plan me & my fav colleague, Sue on the same off day. Since fasting month is coming very soon, we decided to eat to our hearts' content. Sushi buffet @ Sakae Sushi. Gee..the moment we sat our butts down at the booth, me & Sue grabbed the sushi plates on the conveyor belt. FYI, Sue is a HUGE eater & before I knew it, she started calling the waiter for sushi dat's not on the belt. Salmon, unagi, fried maki, fried tofu were some of them. Our seats were just opp the Apple store @ Wheelock Place. So..we were eyeing the Ipod Nano & the hunks, of course. Besides dat, we also plan to buy the famous Birkenstock sandals.

After 2 hrs, we had enuff of the Jap food. Headed to the Birkenstock store & tried everything that caught our eye. Sue almost bought a pair..if not for the staff who obviously not interested in serving us. He looked frustrated and was choosing customers to serve. I feel like slapping his so not cute face! Anyway, we decided to check out the prices online & not buy from the store right away. Honestly, the staff really put us off. Duh~

New Blogger on the Block

Hmm..Hi..It took me some time before I decided to do this. Haha..ever since I got a new comp and a brand new broadband connection, I'm like in touch with info technology all over again. All these talk and articles about blogs did not interest me UNTIL now. So..I hereby taking a risk to share with the rest of the World about me, myself and I. :) Let's get started!
