Bright, Bright Tuesday!

It's very rare that I update my blog twice in 1 day but well, this is MY blog. So..I shall update it when I feel like doing it. Hehe...

Went to my skin doctor for my facial extraction today. Oh gosh, he used laser and some kinda tool to take out the clomodones (that's what he calls) or blackheads from my face. It's not that painful but the session made my hair stand! Everytime I hear the sound of the laser machine & felt that my skin squeezed tightly, it's quite scary. But if I want to look good, must willing to endure!

Met Superhero for a movie. We watched "Rumours Has It" & the movie is funny, sweet & a bit emotional. One of the best movies I watched this year. Jennifer Aniston is beautifully crappy & the movie has some parts that make me cry. Yes, I cried..& Superhero smiled. He knew I would cry. Thanks for the tissues though. :)

Brought Superhero to Tambuah Mas for some Indonesian food for dinner. He was shocked to see a big fried fish (it wasn't big at all for me). I figured..either he eats lotsa rice or he hardly see fish. Hehehe~

Sleepless Again In The Morning

I couldn't sleep again! It's my off day today & I'm awake since 7am already..Kept tossing & turning but still couldnt get back to dreamland. My feet is aching from all the standing at my work place & I'm getting hungry too. So, I decided to order breakfast from MacDonalds.

Me : Hi..I would like to order breakfast.

MacD : Sure, your phone no. please?

Me : ******** (I told her my home no.)

MacD : Just a moment, just a moment, can you repeat again?

Me : ********

MacD : Just a second, Ma'am. (She put the call on hold)

MacD : Sorry Ma'am, my system hanged. Can I have your no. again?

Me (Slowly) : Oh ok... It's *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

So, I ordered for myself, my mom, sis & maid too.

MacD : Sorry again Ma'am, we don't serve hotcakes because the machine is spoilt.

Me (Astonished) : You mean the entire Singapore has no hotcakes??!!!

MacD: No Ma'am, only your area don't serve hotcakes right now.

Me (Still astonished) : Nevermind, I'll get something else then.

MacD : Oh sorry Ma'am, it's actually not the hotcakes. They just ran out of maple syrup.

Me : Ok..it doesn't matter. I'll still get the hotcakes then.

MacD : Sorry again Ma'am.

I should have just walked to the malay stall & buy breakfast myself...

Sunday Morning ~ Out Of The Ordinary

I just finished my round of night shift yesterday. The last night was a hellish one. My colleague pissed me off BIG time & I couldn't wait for the night to end. It was very busy too so..it was definitely not a good night.

Anyway, I woke up extremely early today. It was 5am! I couldn't sleep anymore because I was doing night shifts few days before. I heard my dad getting ready to go to the market. (Yes, my dad's the one who goes to market every Sunday). He asked if I wanna come along, so I was like.."Why not?". He took me to the market which is near our old place. It's VERY VERY rare for me to follow him to the market. So rare that he said he's not surprised if the fish "might jump to the plastic bag itself". Haha...

Gosh..I'm getting all the deja vu feeling. Lotsa things have changed.. I saw my sec. sch. & I miss those days when me & my classmates would go out for lunch & then came back again for remedial lessons. My dad even asked me if I remember the path around my sch. that I ran for my fitness test. It's been 10 good years since I was in Sec. 1. Maybe I should pay the sch. a visit one of these days...

Let's sidetrack a bit..I had a weird dream last night. I remember that it was a sad one..concerning my love life. Till now, when I think about it, my heart aches. Hmmm~

Handphone Is New!

Well, someone from Nokia Care Centre called to say that my handphone is "beyond repair". I couldn't believe my ears at first & thought that it sound funny. But anyways..I have no choice but..to get a new handphone! Actually, I'm VERY broke, especially after my shopping trip in Thailand. I have no choice though, coz I need a phone badly.

So, just before my night shift, I dropped by Nokia shop to get my old phone back & buy a new one. The guy at Nokia shop willing to buy my useless phone for $30. It's better than bringing the phone back & keeping it for my grandchildren. Haha.. Let's talk about my new one. It's Nokia 7360. It's kinda "fashionable" & chic..so different for me. I wanted the N70 but my budget is super tight this month. Superhero said that I don't need such a high end phone. Should have ask him to sponsor me a bit. If I look good with my new handphone, he'll be proud of me too. :)

Surprise, Surprise~

When I met Superhero after his work yesterday, he surprised me with a small gift. It felt light, so I thought it might be a box of chocolates. He gave a little clue in the card that he wrote & I have a feeling I knew what it was. But anyway, I only opened the gift when I reached home. It's an I-Dog! Gosh..now I have a speaker for my Nano & somehting cute to play with. Haha.. Superhero is really nice. :) I'm thinking of giving the I-Dog a name..maybe.."Dodol" or "Chibo". Only Superhero understood the meaning of these nick names. Hehe..

My handphone is spoilt! Gosh..I was drinking coffee at Starbucks & it just went blank. I sent it for repair at the Nokia Care Centre & I was just told that I need to pay about $150 for all the upgrading works. Gee...Should I get a new handphone or repair the old one???? Let me wonder & ponder about it over the weekend...

Went for my ex-colleague's wedding at Chjimes this morning. It was a very simple fare, & yet a romantic one. I haven't attend a church wedding before so this one was a real eye opener. When the bride walked down the aisle, she was glowing with happiness so much that she had tears in her eyes. I feeling emotional worr..so I amost cried too! Haha! I wish the bride & groom a lifetime of happiness & joy. :)

"Shop Till I Almost Drop" Trip

The Long Awaited Holiday

Yay! I'm finally going for my vacation tomorrow! When I cleared my stuff at work today, I already started feeling the vibes. It does feel good to be away from work for a while. Come to think of it, this is my first time applying for a long leave. It's 8 days in total. I wanted to clear the entire week next week, but unfortunately, Hotel's gonna be busy soon. So, I'll be back next Sunday. In the mean time..Thailand...here I come!

The Big Day

Oh well, after the 3 months wait, I'm finally passing over my cross exposure to my colleague. I felt quite overwhelmed on my way to work today. It's like..something that was on my burden list gonna be relieved. But I believe I'll miss my group co-ordinator days. You know, the flexible hours & the somewhat privacy in that little room at the back office. I won't miss the long working hours though!

I'll be going on my vacation in 4 days time! How exciting.. :)
