High Sugar Intake Alert!

I met Tini for dinner after my shift today. She's such a bubbly gal. She's younger than me by 2 years but she talks like she's older than me. We have lotsa things in common & she can be so hilarious with her antics. Haha! I feel sad that she has left the company but I'm glad that she's much more cheerful now. :) We walked around NTUC, fishing for something to buy (my pay is in!). Went to the frozen stuff area and guess what I found?! My favourite Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavour! I was half hoping they won't have it coz that will mean that I'm not "fated" to buy. Tini kept looking at other ice-cream tubs happily. So...in the end...... Hehe~




I love the Oatmeal Cookie Chunk flavour coz it's kinda different from your regular chocolate or strawberry ice-cream. It has the cinnamon taste that lingers & of course, the chewy oatmeal & delicious fudge! (Now I sound like the spokesperson for Ben & Jerry's) Superhero & Nickole said that it taste weird but...well, nothing can change my "feelings". I'm beginning to take a liking to cinnamon-ny stuff, for e.g. Starbucks's Cinnamon Raisin bagel & they used to have an ice blended cinnamon syrup drink. (Which I forgot the name!)




Joy for the BELLY & SOUL. Soul..yes..I agree. I feel like I'm relieved of stress after having just a spoonful of the ice-cream. But for the BELLY??!! Definitely NO!!! Maybe they should mix some Xando tummy slimming powder into that tub! :)


There's this new American food joint at Citylink Mall, called New York New York. I went with Nickole & Sue 2 days ago. Decor was superb. Hmmm...food was oohh-kay & service was allll-right...Nothing out of the ordinary. The food reminds me a bit of Billy Bombers+ NYDC. A nice place to hang out with your bunch of friends (Must be a BUNCH if you want that comfortable sofa seats), & come earlier if you don't wanna queue till the Godiva shop. And try the hot chocolate drink with mashmellows. Yummy yum!

I'm getting the vibes of becoming a gourmet. Hmmm~

Sweet Sins

It's the 3rd day in a week that I committed sins. What sins I'm talking about? You see...

Tuesday: A scoop of Ben & Jerry's Oatmeal Chunk ice cream

Wednesday: Durian roll (A durian-filled crepe, basically)

Thursday: A slice of Dark Chocolate Truffle from The Royals

Gosh.. and one of my goals this year is to shed some pounds! Blame the food festival at Lot 1 & the huge pasar malam beside it larr. Tsk, tsk, tsk... :)

Singapore Idol getting more interesting. When will Joakim be out? I can't wait!! Sighs...Will it be tonight? I hope so..

Bimbo!!! (And She Was Me)

It was my first day of the cross exposure as an Assistant Manager. The day was ok, busy as usual. The "mistake" that I did last week has been resolved BUT my manager said that the guests may complain about me. Heck...I wasn't rude to them. It was just a miscommunication. If they want to complain, then I have nothing else to say. It's their words against mine. I just have to be extra careful next time. I'm not gonna apologize coz it wasn't my fault. Anyway, I felt that today was also one of those days that I got kinda dumb. One of the guest was trying her luck to dispute her charges with me & she "slapped" me with sarcastic remarks about the Hotel's procedures. I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say. I just replied, on & on but in the end, she told me, "I don't understand what you're saying". I turned to my colleague & whispered, "Neither do I". Haha..I was really like a bimbo. Duh~

I got my dose of Ben & Jerry, finally! Had a scoop of the Oatmeal Cinnammon Chunk & ate it happily by myself. I was satisfied & hmmmm...all the troubles seem so far away. Met Superhero after that & he sent me home. :) I like that.

Hope tomorrow will be a better day. *cross fingers*

BIG Mistake

I did something wrong at work! This is so crappy. I thought I was being kind but seems to turn out that I was being dumb. Arrgghh!! I just hope & pray that everything will be all right. If not, then..I shall wish myself the best of luck. :(

The Things I Want To Have & Those I Had~

I finally got back my computer! Not that anyone borrowed it, just that my CPU wasn't working properly. As I wasn't free the last 1 1/2 weeks, I couldn't find the right time to call the vendor. I'm excited now that it's back to good working condition, without jeopardizing my stuff IN the computer. Phew~


I spent my off day at home today. Wanted to go for coffee with Kartini but she wasn't free. Thought of going shopping but pay isn't in yet. In the end, I rented "Rumours Has It" & watched it again with my sis at the living room. I'm just so lazy these days....Anyway, I plan to buy my Papillio sandals next month! Haha..at least I'm trying to SAVE for it. Hmmm, let me think which one should I get...






This one....




or this one? If I get both, Superhero will nag at me for months!



I've been craving for Ben & Jerry! Nickole told me to get a tub when we went grocery shopping last week but I didn't. Sheesh...my favourite flavour is like out of stock at the NTUC. Maybe I'll get a scoop before work tomorrow at the Suntec outlet. Hehe~ My sis bought a cup of bubble tea & I got one too!



My peppermint milk tea looks express & delicious but hygenic? Hmmm..


I love the Godiva Chocolixir! I've been walking past the Godiva shop at CityLink, wondering when I can savour that drink & I finally had the chance the other day after dinner with Nickole & Liah. There are 3 flavours & we chose to try the Dark Chocolate Decadence. Lovely & heavenly!


I'll be cross training as an Assistant Manager next week, for 3 months. I can feel the stress coming back again, the same one that I had earlier this year. Can more Godiva drinks help me overcome the hurdle??? But then, I don't wanna stress over my weight too! Haha~ We'll see.

Mid-Week

I love Papillio sandals, especially the Florida range! And I noticed that the Madrid ones are nice too. Sheesh..I'm crazy over Pappllio! Should I buy them?? I'm the only one in my family that own lotsa footwear. My mom threatened to give them away if I don't start wearing them. Haha!

Met my friends for dinner before my night shift just now. It's so hard to meet up these days coz we are always so busy with work or studies. :( I'm just glad we can still keep in touch till now.

Spoke with Superhero on the phone & I got a little sensitive with the whole conversation. Didn't have a very good ending. I feel bad after that, but still sad. It's just..me, I guess.

2 Years With 2 Days

I just came back from my "getaway", Singaporean style. It's like to celebrate my 2-year anniversary with Superhero. Spent 2 days with him & had dinner with our friends on one of the days. We are trying to introduce Superhero's buddy, Ben to Sue. Something like double dating. It turned out okay....for a beginning. Haha!



Superhero & Ben. Amazing how their characters are quite alike. :)


We had buffet dinner at Oscar's. Seafood was great, but dessert even better! Look at my banana & strawberry filled crepe, with caramel & chocolate ice cream. The mashmellows compliment it all. Yummy!


It's Tini's last day at work & she happened to have dinner at Oscar's too. Honestly, WE looked like the ones on double dates. See how the boys are dressed sooo green & we girls in sooo black. Hehe~



My gift to Superhero: Daviddoff Echo set. He doesn't put on any cologne but I guess it doesn't hurt to use once a while. Glad he likes it. :)

Let me tell you briefly how we met. I was working for a while at John Little as a sales promoter after my O' Levels in 2000. He was covering his cousin duties (also a temp promoter) for a day. We talked a bit & coincidentally, his course mate was my friend too. We lost in touch & then somehow, we met again online. It's funny that I haven't met or talk him for almost 2 years & then suddenly, we are communicating again. It's fate I guess. We were friends for 4 years before being together. :)

Hmmm, tomorrow marks the end of my leave. Monday will be back at work. My ex-colleague, Sammi, is flying to Australia for further studies. I maybe sending her off. If not, I'll just laze around at home. Shall decide later. :)
