it's all looking good this month...

I have concluded that May will be a good month for me.

1) Firstly, it means that one-third of the year is gone, and very soon, there'll be the new year to look forward to. I always 'wow' at how fast time flies by... and I really wish this year will be a better year than the last one.

2) Two sweeties were born in this month, and there's gonna be so much birthday fun!
planning to back to Top of the M for drinks, and gonna have a dessert party at zee's!

3) 24th will mark my one year anniversary with the firm. We've just got awarded three new projects! I'll be working on two of them. One of it is market sizing for breast implants in, where else... Asian countries.... Average cup size for Asians are reported to be 34C. okay! Cheapest surgery here would cost you $2000 plus, most expensive would be around $10,000!! I'm gonna learn about all the different breast implants surgical methods and do some 'mystery shopping' with the cosmetic surgeons (meaning, i will have to pretend I REALLY want to have a boob job and go find out more from the surgeons)ha ha, if u see me around with bigger boobs, just keep the secret to yourself. Ha ha.

4) Great Singapore sale is around the corner!! I always congratulate myself for working in town, cos I can still get to the retail shops without taking day-offs! muahahaha....
and I've just sold my canon for 189, which effectively made my new casio exilim cost 59 bucks only!! *jumps around like a mad rabbit*

5) Boss will be gone to Germany whole of next week, and then come back for one week, and gone to europe again for the next. China man will be gone to beijing for one week. Yipee! Although i'd really love to travel for work, i guess it's good enough that people at work travel.

6) and mr goh's booked the sijori resort!! I'm like how excited.. even though it is only to sentosa.. ha ha. I've looked at the sentosa website, printed out all their F&B outlets, the new attractions/places to visit in Sentosa and the map of Sentosa!! Haha, feel like a damn suaku tourist. looking forward to visiting the underwater world, butterfly park and the new imbiah lookout place! okay...i keep exclaiming! so yep, I can't wait for the next long weekend! Yippee!! and.. mothers' day round the corner too... will make it a point to tell my mum that i'm really proud of her and all that she's done for the family. (would be better if she's a bit less naggy though.. hehe)

more updates later!

may day weekend...

So, I didn't meet my project deadline last Friday and boss didn't text me or anything over the weekend, which is good... cos I really needed to get away from my new colleagues, or from work totally for that matter. I don't remember the last time I had a really good time, holidaying. Overseas work assignment don't count, cos although it's fun to learn this new, independent side of you while you're travelling alone, meeting up with new people, it is really ultimately quite lonely at the end of the day.

Saturday was k lunch with mr. peh, finally...after countless pang sehs. I'm not sure how i should be feeling about the way things turned out btn him and a certain girl. i just pray she doesn't do anything funny again, because karma really exists. Just read my entry in may last year -do you believe in karma.......

Attended yun's baptism on sunday morning. Really happy to see her take a step forward and commit herself to something which she truly believes in. It'll be a whole new way of living life and viewing things around us. :) happy for you, angela!
Eileen, post the pictures soon! better still, send us to our gmail accounts!

Lunch at crystal jade HV was another round of bashing irritating people in our lives, some politicky discussions and travel plans (fun places for some-like taipei and far away and scary sounding places-like karzakstan, not even sure if it's spelt this way)

and then off to my complimentary skin analysis at Kanebo! They have this machine thingy which will magnify your pores many many times!!! It's quite scary looking. Anyway, my skin lacks moisture!! People who work in the office, pls moisturise!!
The beauty consultant was telling me how everything will go downhill after 25 years of age. yikes.

The MUMMY returns!


Mr Goh took the pics while I had the face mask thingy on. I was trying hard not to laugh and just wanted to relax my face.

The MUMMY returns yet again!


I'm supposed to do this face masky thing 2-3 times a month on my own...... reminds me of the saying that goes, there's no ugly women in this world but only lazy women! I mean, I already have trouble keeping up to the 3 step regime every day and night. Cleanse, tone and moisturise. Now the lady suggests i put a UV protector sheen on top as well! That'll be 15 min of my time in the morning, which means I'll have to wake up earlier to do all these. really takes some effort to do all these religiously.

but the effects were wonderful!!

Pink, glowy, dewy skin. Need to do something about my eye bags though.

So, all in all, i spent quite a bit on my mum's cosmetics and my own. and since there was some promotional thing at metro (min spend of 400) and you'd be able to get the casio exilim at 49% off. so.... I got that as well!!



Not an impulsive buy... i hope (me and mr goh went to courts to check out the camera first) 49% off leh! and comes with 256mb sd card and free leather case!! Haha, yah, very auntie to mention the freebies, i know. So, we decided it's quite a steal and it's time i get a new digicam too. twice the megapixel of the old canon and so much cheaper!!!! Technology and its way of creative destruction. I love gadgets!

It's been a while....

it's been a long long while since i wrote anything. wonder if anyone still stops by to take a look. (gimme a shout out if you do).

Anyway, to sum up how I have been for the past few months.. i'd say EXCITING (starting with the Taiwan work/trip and typhoon-August) and then HOMEY (spent more time with family and mr goh's family-September) and then October was quite a MESS (fell sick and kinda fell into some kinda depression combined with neurotic mood and sleep at 10pm habit) and now, November started on a good note with public holidays and cooking/baking/laughing/hip-cuppping at gracia's (Thank you gracia and mum for hosting us!).

We're almost reaching the end of the year again. Christmas decors are already up along orchard road and in the shopping malls. Seems like only yesterday when my dad flew back from Australia and spent christmas with us....

Fullerton Hotel stay :)

The long awaited fullerton hotel stay is finally here!!! *courtesy of miss poon, of course* the sweeties are really a lucky bunch. instead of chalets, we stay-over in hotels and become tai-tais for the weekend. feels great to be with the girls again. no matter how busy everyone is, we'll all make our best efforts to be there. zee suggested that we do something out of the ordinary.....so here's a low down on what we did during the stay.....

checked in in the afternoon, lazed on the luxurious bed! gaped at the huge bathroom and tall ceiling! and made ourselves totally comfortable. so comfortable that mich and miss poon kept zao-geng-ing. but that was alright, we had a good laugh. :) so when everyone is gathered, we decided to be shopping queens for the day and do some shopping since it's the great sg sale season! me and huiru have been wanting to get some really nice shrugs! and zee has got one which does not look "ah-ma-ish" and is pretty nice! (but in the end, me and huiru still didn't see any we like). mich got some nice and comfortable stuff from la senza though. I was quite amused by the fluffy pink/black thing in store.

then....steamboat buffet at joaqium restaurant! ate all we can... and in the midst of our dinner....guess who arrived into the suntec convention centre?? Senior Minister GOH CHOK TONG! and his entourage. other VIPs and all the hunky chunky bodyguards. (think huiru associates them with dogs) so the out of the ordinary thing would be to stand up and applause when SM goh walked by or salute him or something... heh, but we didn't. But we did ate quite alot during the buffet. esp the cakes! and desserts! sweeties all have sweet tooth.

the conversation during dinner was wedding wedding wedding. and wedding themes. miss poon happily said that her wedding song would be the thong song since it's her fav song at the moment. *raise eyebrow* and we talked about what are the things to look out for during weddings and how we will all be the bridesmaid and tekan the bride groom and how everything should be planned perfectly since it is going to be once-in-a-lifetime thing and sometime amidst all the discussion, we got a bit teary eyed. i think we will definitely need water proof mascara on the wedding night.

and we went to the games place again!! and pictionary gets even more hilarious everytime we played it. yun drew an animal who somehow resembled a cross between a cattle and some worm or something and we still managed to guess that she was drawing a bull! and she drew something like a dome and zee could tell that it was an igloo and zee drew some stick man with long neck and yun could tell it was the hunch back of notre dome!! amazing how brain waves connect. we should really have kept our drawings. and tried another game huiru introduced too... TABOO! hah this one also very funny. esp for the verbs. and yun was hilarious as she improvise and came up with actions and sounds that just made us laugh and laugh and laugh.

the next morning, went swimming in the pool. *mich, pls upload the photos!* i realise i can hardly swim without my goggles and i kinda swam in a zig zag fashion, from one corner of the pool to the diagonally opposite corner. sheesh. well, we've decided that the next gathering would be cycling/blading at east coast! and dinner at the east coast hawker centre with its great food!

til then!

Batman Begins

Batman begins is really a nice show... esp when batman holds quite some significance for me and mr goh. and christian bale looks great in the batsuit! and this show is definitely 100 times better than mr and mrs smith (and their super over exaggerated invincible action moves, which i must say is quite badly choreographed esp the final shooting scene which made me want to stand up and shoot them dead instead).

went to emerald orchard food court for dinner. well, mr goh ate but i watched. and he had soem ridiculously priced bak kut teh $5! for a bowl of rice and 3 bak kuts. and he made me take a pic of his ridiculous bak kut teh....

went back office to collect stuff from the traffic counters.. the office is like a second home to me now... and i'm pretty glad it's in town...coz i get to meet people i know (sometimes), spoilt for choice when it comes to lunch time, and get to see what's happening in orchard road... (they put up fantastic 4 figures at the traffic junction at Heeren/Mandarin Hotel/Singapore Visitors' Centre/California Fitness over night! so I was quite happy that morning coz it's something colourful to add to my day in office.

overall, it's been a nice weekend... looking forward to the next....

Happening saturday

It was quite a happening saturday and i'm back in the office today on a sunday to meet the surveyors and pass them stuff. anyway, last night was quite fun filled. finished work at 8 and went liang seah zi char to have dinner with mr goh since we were both very hungry and didn't want to go anywhere far. so there goes the planned romantic dinner for the night. shopped around bugis after that but didn't manage to get anything. we were arguing over what kind of office wear is appropriate to buy for work. he insists i shld get like shirts but i told him that don't have to be so formal and can get some nice blouses instead. so, i've decided to do my own shopping today without him. :)

met Hianzee at hotel intercontinental! and the funny thing was, we were both there to use the hotel toilet. *grins* It's nice bumping into friends when you're out. coz i feel like, there's some kind of fate thing involved, if you know what i mean. not those arranged kind of outing, but just there and then we meet and have a pleasant surprise. ;) serendipity.

went to geylang to have supper after that with jem, eric, mw and ty. was rather concussed then but felt that i shouldn't waste my saturday away. Not that i enjoyed the company very much or that i was hungry but most importantly, coz i want to spend time with mr goh.

I guess when you're working, you'll really start to prioritise and decide how to put ur free time to the best use.

Lesson number 2.

It's friday... i'm in love

went for my first dental today (has been ages since i did)! comment: dentists should not hire grouchy assistants. totally irritates the already scared patient. the experience of visiting the doctor/dentist should be a pleasant one for the patient. hey, we're the ones seeking treatment here! To grouchy nurses: pls find urself a xin li yi shen if u're frustrated. and hopefully, the doc won't scream at you.

finally finished packing up my stuff! (thanks to mr goh who hastened the process) 3 years worth of notes and effort will be going to the paper recycling centre. can't really part with them but i know i must. i must be cold-hearted and not let such stuff/notes come back to huant me (esp when my mum screams at me to throw them away since i am unlikely to go through them again). So there it is.... two big bags of notes. the school should have some online lessons or notes which we can access anytime or some digital bank thingy where we can store our notes and stuff. save the amazon rainforest. :)

had a supper outing with mr goh just now. we haven't been going out to ah fang for supper for a very long time. still remember the first time we went there. we stayed awake chatting through the night and went there for breakfast. the prata there is really not bad.... one of the reasons why i put on weight since i entered uni too. heh heh. those were the days.....

it's friday...i'm in love!

my mind is a blank

I thought it was easy to create your blog. Just simply type whatever comes first to your mind and let them flow. However, it took me pretty long to start typing my 1st blog entry. what seemed like a pretty simple task turned out to be mind-boggling indeed. Perhaps I don't know what i wanted to share with other people... this is quite a strange experience for me. I have no lack of friends to share my thoughts with... yet... this attempt at creating a blog of my own was finally spurred by bigfeimao. Not sure if I would have the time and energy to carry on writing this blog... but currently, my mind is a blank and I feel lost.
