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. :)

A Day @ Sentosa~

I got 5 days leave, including my off day till this Sunday! Gosh, I'm envied by my colleagues who have to work during this period. Hehe..but then again, I have no plans to go overseas whatsoever, so I thought hard to make full use of my 5 off days. I went to Sentosa with my colleagues today, shopping & running errands for myself tomorrow, spend Fri & Sat with Superhero (it's for our anniversary!) & Sunday is for my family. Hmmm..sounds splendid enough. :)

My buddies at work: Sue & Sadiq. Sue just ended her night shift & Sadiq & me were on leave! So..we made our way to Sentosa. :) (I heard that it'll be busy at work place though. Hehe~)

Scorching hot!!!! But great weather...

Sue was trying to sleep & tan at the same time. Quite successful though...

We walked around a bit while Sadiq & Tanglin took a dip. Sighs...how we wish we were at Maldives instead...

They looked like some illegal immigrants! Sadiq & Tanglin had to squat for a bit coz they were dripping with water lar...

My arms & back are aching now from all the sunning today. Hmm..I'll be visiting my dermatologist tomorrow (he gonna flip when he sees my red face!) , gonna buy some stuff & maybe go for a massage. Cool! :)

Picturesque

Superhero was at my place just now to check on my internet connection. Apparently, I couldn't log in to MSN Messenger or even download songs properly. He did some tests & ..voila! My computer problems are solved! It's good to have someone who knows a lot about things which I don't. :) Thanks a gazillion, Superhero!

I was along the road at Aloha Chalet. Feeling-feeling like traffic warden. Keke~

My cousin, Aisyah & I!

My sis is ALWAYS hungry, like 24/7. See the number of otaks-otaks she has eaten & still dare to open her mouth wide for this one!

I like this picture. Hmm...I seem to look just so better than ever. Talk about confidence!

Updates & Updates

I'm sorry I haven't been blogging the past 1 week or so...I hardly have the time. Daily, it's like work, sleep, eat & work again. I try to watch as much tv though, so I can feel that I have a life. I don't even have time to remove my nail polish so I brought the liquid remover to work! How ja-gung. :)

I went to Aloha chalet with my cousins the other day..So fun! I didn't stay overnight of course. Took a few pics..will upload later. When I'm free. :) My cousins were talking about boyfriends (for God's sake, they're only teenagers!) & they were attacking me with questions about Superhero. Sighs..kids these days~

I gonna spend next weekend with Superhero. Most probably we gonna watch World Cup matches. How exciting! Our 2-yr anniversarry coming up. Any idea what should I give him? Hmmm...

"Murder" On The Dance Floor

I went to M.O.S again yesterday with my colleagues & I got in for free! It was R&B night at the main arena & thank God, it was cooling. Not so packed like the last time I went. Met 2 of my friends who work at Starbucks too. Dancing was great till there were these 2 kids who kept going our way. Me and my colleagues moved to the other side a bit, & they followed too!Frustrating! I wonder if they need the whole dance floor or what..

Then we went to Spice at River Valley to have our supper/breakfast. We were starving! I had a Milo Dinosaur, which is just a glass of milo with lotsa milo powder on top of it. Yummy...& I had Roti John with Chicken & Cheese. The food was okay(especially when you're hungry), very spicy though. That's why the coffee shop is called Spice. Haha.. There's a wide variety of food, good enough to satisfy our after-clubbing hunger.

I reached home at about 6am & my dad glared at me from the kitchen. I just smiled sheepishly & excuse myself quickly..Better run if I can't hide...Hehe~






Fizah's wedding turned out great! Nice to meet up with my ex-classmates that I haven't seen for so long. Some since graduation 3 years back. And Fizah looked beautiful..:) May you have everlasting bliss!

Finally!

Fizah is getting married later today! I'm soooo excited! Geez, I'll get to see my poly mates after such a long time. Lotsa catching up to do. Too bad Superhero may not be able to attend the wedding. He has some family gathering to go to. Shucks...and I miss him so badly. :( I only get to see him once a week now coz we are busy with our work. Wait till he starts his part-time Degree.. Sighs..

What should I wear to the wedding later?? Should I wear my kebaya? Can I do my hair at the salon too? Hehe...

The Graveyard

Sighs..I'm doing night shifts like every other week. This time around, I'm lucky to do 3 nights with my pal, Sadiq, but the last 3 nights will be with everyone's most "favourite" colleague! THAT's kinda depressing..oh well, I will survive! It's good that Sadiq is around to entertain me so that I can conserve my energy for the last 3 nights this week. :) May patience be with me~

I just read Helmi's blog on Friendster. It's so funny! He was talking about this "brotherhood" thingy that he's a member of. Actually, it's just another term for the ABC (Alligator-Buaya-Crocodile) Corporation. The girls at my work place don't act like females & some of the guys don't seem to act like males too. The straight men, like in particular, Helmi, preys on women like how wolves prey on chickens. We girls got used to that fact though...& it adds variety to our more or less mundane jobs... at times.

The boys from The Brotherhood fellowship had their gathering last 2 weeks. See how confident they looked...

The remaining SGSAs at Conrad. We are like siblings, sort of. Haha~

Retail Therapy & Body Works

I didn't know about it UNTIL my sis filled me in. The Great S'pore Sale has spread around the island & I think I got struck by the shopping mania! My motive when i stepped into Far East Plaza today was just to get a bag. But..I ended up circling the whole mall, trying tops, bottoms, necklaces...Hehe. IF not for the thought of saving for my trip to Australia, I would have bought more stuff! But..oh well..only 2 things made the cut.

My sis & I chipped in to buy this bottom. Luckily, her size & mine are similiar...I've been wanting to buy this kinda shorts..

The actual price of this bag is $27 but I got it for $20 coz it's the last one at the shop. Whatmore, it's a little dirty on the back side. I like it coz the length of the bag is adjustable.

I went to get my dose of body treatment after my night shift ends yesterday. My round of nights this time wasn't that terrific. Sighs... Anyway, I chose to go to Wayan Retreat at Bussorah St & had a "Ratu Jongras" treatment. Basically, it consists of 45 mins Balinese massage, a Javanese Lulur (a heavenly scrub that contains spices like tumeric & rice to exfoliate my skin), Yoghurt masque ( to stimulate collagen production & deep moisturise) & lastly, a coconut creme hair massage for my head! So shiok! I just feel like doing it again..soon! Haha~

I met up with Fizah & Maria for dinner at Ambrosia. It's a Mediterranean cafe along Baghdad St. Ambience & service was okay. Food was so-so only, as most of the appetizers are not available. Our drinks were far too sweet...Hmmm...I'll consider going there again.

The food that we share....

Fizah is getting the pre-marriage jitters! Her wedding is just next weekened... :) But she's going to Gran Canaria for her honeymoon of 16 days! Whoa..

Maria got a new Creative video camera that can play mp3 too. The price is pretty reasoonable. Meanwhile, I'm happy with my Nano. Hehe~ I shall see you girls again at the wedding! Yay~

Railed By A French & A German

So, I just came back home from my night shift. It wasn't that busy but it sure wasn't an easy night either. First, I was scolded by a French guest. I could understand how angry he was becoz he could hear drilling sounds from his room & it's like almost 2 am! There was a mini construction at Suntec area (which we weren't aware of) & unfortunately, the guest could hear it from his room. French man was ranting at me: " What the f*** is that sound? What kinda f***ing hotel is this? Why is a country like S'pore has this kinda noise at night?" He was yakking non stop & I couldn't say a word. Sighs..& it wasn't my fault.

Then at 6am, a famous German guest known for disputing almost anything came to check in. All was fine AT FIRST & we were well prepared in case he dispute his room charges. We had his reservation correspondence on stand by. And guess what..he's smart enough to play around with the correspondence. Apparently, the correspondence wasn't stamped by his company, so, he dispute about the room charges. Sighs...& again, it wasn't my fault.

I hope...tonight will be better worr~ Argggh!

Aras Is My Survivior!

I tell you, I have never watched any Survivor episodes before this. I didn't find anything interesting on the show. But..the last few weeks, when I was bored on Friday afternoons, I actually watched Survivor (live via satelitte) & I began to follow on the show! Especially, when one of my favourites, Aras, is so cute (despite the so much unshaven hair on the face). Last night, I watched the full 3 hrs of the finale & reunion show on tv. Superhero is surprised that, I would watch it coz he knows how much I disliked Survivor before. Hehe~ Anyway, congrats Aras! Yay!

Went to watch a Korean movie called "Voice" yesterday. Now, I'm not a fan of horror movies & the last time I watched one was like... last year? Anyway, the movie is not THAT scary but I still shut my eyes during a few scenes. It was rather sad though, & I cried when one of the schoolgirl dedicate a song to her dead friend. Sighs...

I'll be starting my night shift again today..with Helmi & Cindy. Gonna get some sleep later.

The Da Vinci Trail - "Im No Da Vinci"

Hi Y'all!

I have a story! Haha. My Saturday Story.

As the title suggest, I was on the Da Vinci Trail held by MediaCorp ArtsCentral at The Cathay earlier today. Running around Spore in an oversized shirt and a Da Vinci lanyard was beginnin to be a bad idea. Not mentioning stares and weird look from commuters. Our only transport available to us was train. No others, lest u want to be disqualified.

Well we gathered up at 1030am for registration and rendevous back at 0100, givin time to participants to change up to the correct attire(the Da Vinci Tee). At 1pm, me and another fren, Ben, was all geared up. Little that we know our first clue was our first and costliest mistake!

The First clue. "A known phoenix rises from this station..". Actin all gungho and rather confident, we headed to CCK..thinkin that phoenix LRT station will rise to Bt Panjang Station. Yeah RIGHT..!!! While travellin from DG to CCK, we were thinkin..Damn this is far!. We were already at Jurong East when suggestion to callup a friend proved otherwise. "Its Somerset! A phoenix hotel is located opp!" my friend on phone informed. We suddenly felt the overcast dark gloom as it dawned upon us that CCk was too far for a first clue. As they say, the rest is history...

Total of 1hr lost to rectify the mistake and we managed to solve another 3 clues when we realised its time to head back to The Cathay. Total clues to be answered - 8. Total Solved - 4. Sigh.....


With collection of the rewards pack, a pair of painful tired legs that developed a mind of their own, we dragged ourselves home.

Oh yeah..we played pool first to take our minds of our SADDDDDDD mistake. Dinner at our hometown coffeeshop and off to home....


There goes the trip to Paris.....sigh..




Lil Superhero Guy.



ps: sorry lil girl. didnt meant to speak to u that way. :(

Going "International"!

So, like I mentioned, I went to watch movie with Superhero at the all new The Picturehouse. Seats were comfortable & there's an usher (complete with the formal shirt & bow) IN the theatre itself. We watched "L'Enfant", which means "The Child" in French. Superhero & I love watching international movies & we have caught lotsa French ones in particular. :) The language of love, I guess. Haha~ Anyway, Superhero was happy because..he has a new pair of shoes! (Finally!)

And who chose the design? It's me, of course! I'm his style advisor, what..

I met my colleagues for dinner at a Japanese restaurant called Kushin-bo (or something like that). Farewell dinner for Gen. *sob sob*

Norman & Helmi love to pose for the camera & enjoying the food too..

The restaurant is buffet-styled so we all ate to our hearts' content! My colleagues asked me to try the fried "pregnant fish". It looks yucky & tastes like..salted fish worr..

Cindy, June, Suelyn & Sue decided to have this challenge on who gobbles the sobe the fastest....

And Cindy was so excited that she choked on her sobe! See what's that in her mouth? Tsk tsk...KIASU!

Sue & Cindy were trying very hard to peel the crabs. I just ate what they offered me...Hehe~

Suelyn gone cranky with all the peelings. Gen was going to grab the Chawa-mushi..

It's the first time I spent so much on Japanese food, but the company was great! How often do we get to sit & eat together for hours, right? Geez, I was so full that I afraid that I'd get nightmares. Haha~ No Japanense food for the next 1 month at least. Please!

When I opened the letter box just now, I saw a mail with my name hand written on the envelope. I was wondering..who could be the sender.. Ahaks! It's Fizah with her wedding invitation! She invites Superhero as well. I'm getting all excited for my friend's wedding! :)

T.G.I.F.

Thank God it's Friday, a public holiday & I'm not working! I just came back from M.O.S this morning & now I'm about to get ready to meet Superhero for movies. After which, will be hanging out with my colleagues for dinner at some Jap restaurant. It's a farewell dinner for Gen actually..who left us, hopefully to find the greener pastures out there.

M.O.S was soooo crowded. Tsk, I was sweating profusely from the crowd, not from the dancing! Music was good lar..but the next time I wanna go to M.O.S again..I'll better think twice about the heat & people...

A Week's Updates

Heard of a makan place called "Chomp Chomp"? I only got to know about it a few days ago. I had a craving to eat "roti john", so my sis & I decided to go to a Serangoon Gardens Hawker Centre where there's a famous roti john stall & I believe..where the "Chomp Chomp" is. We are not very familiar with Serangoon area but..we still managed to find it! By the time, I already felt giddy from the mrt & bus ride..& the hot afternoon sun.

Then, I went for a Javanese massage & Ginger treatment (some kinda body scrub) along Bt Timah. Gosh..it's good! I think I'm addicted to these indulgence..need to get a dose like every other month. I know I've to save for my holiday but..I just can't resist the temptation! Hmm..I'm starting to plan for my next treatment already..hehe~

Let's talk a bit on my work. Everything seems normal, but of course, there're some glitch too. Everyday, I tell myself to think positive...be happy, you know. But, today, SOMEONE had to spoil my day. Again, it makes me wonder...why the hell I'm back? Hmmmm.. I hope that SOMEONE will get out of my sight though. The world will be a better place then. :)

Pay is in! Progress package is in! I got my new contacts & specs! I look good in the specs, even Superhero thinks so. Hehe..I like that~

The Owl In Me..

I just came back from my "graveyard" shift...Still have one more night to go. Pretty tired but I enjoy this round of night shift! This is made possible coz I was working with one of my fav people, Nini. She's always been a good worker, full of initiative, helpful & we can crap the whole night long. Haha..I hope I'll be working with her again the next round.. *cross fingers*

I have a major, major break out on my face! I haven't seen my dermatologist for almost 3 weeks now coz I'm so broke. But I can't take the pimples anymore!! Hmm..maybe I'll drop by the clinic sometime tomorrow.. I just made a new pair of contact lenses and glasses. Kinda excited but that will also mean that more money needs to be forked out. Sighs...where's my progress package???!! (Oh yah..I keyed the wrong account number. Shucks~)

Sue & I talked about our possible trip to Cairns just now. We wanna go sky diving, ride the hot air balloon & visit the Greet Barrier Reef. The thought of it already is so shiok! I hope I can save enough money to go though..Hehe~

Gonna go to bed now...Will be busy at work tonight. Bring it on, Conrad!
