Usual Hangout...Renovated!

Was an enjoyable nite... did not really control amt tt i drank. but somehow din get too high. Just tired now though. going to wash my face and sleep...

Velvet changed its deco.. some chairs were shifted to another area...

*The above was written in the wee hours...Time now is 10am, juz woke up...*

Last nite really cldn't write anymore...was dozing off in front of the PC...anyway they renovated the place last week...we were quite surprised when we got there...2 weeks is such a short time to have a place renovated! Tink they prob did the place over the days that they dun open for business.. but even that's fast... cuz they only close for 1 or 2 days in a week.

Somehow cuz the deco has changed, the feeling of the place changed too.. din feel it was as fun last nite... and seemed more crowded at the area that we like to hang around...

All in all, was an enjoyable..with lotsa laughters as usual... and lotsa weird weird pics! haha.. so so funny.. =)

Pretty in Pink...

Couldn't find the kind of top I will be wearing tomorrow... but the theme is pink..so juz anyhow chose 1 pink top! =)

dun look THAT suitable for clubbing...but oh well... make do la...

Looking forward to Friday (43 mins away)...to the end of the working day (18hrs 13 mins away)...to reaching home - 2nd home la (22hrs 43mins away)

Quite nice tots... =)

Sidetrack...On the work front, it seems there really is going to be big news coming up...but not sure when the actual announcement will be... before that happens, i am actually losing hope... Gonna go through recruit this weekend.. me and boss been getting on each others' nerves way too often. quite tiring to work like that... Maybe there would be some interesting jobs this week..

Hope it will be a happy day tomorrow! Peaceful and happy...

Cheers...

Bday coming...

Exactly 4 weeks to my bday...

Unhappy today though... not only having PMS but some people trying to piss me off...

It's a tough life...

Weekend Update

Fri... Went out for dinner at Chinatown, met up with a photographer that we might engage for Actual Day of Wedding (AD). He was quite serious at the beginning..but I tink we warmed up to each other after a while... Compared to the previous 2 that we met up with, I preferred the pics that this one took.... I think they have more emotions... can feel more from seeing the pics. But I think should still arrange to meet up with one more before finally deciding on the ONE.

After that, nearly wanted to call for urgent AA meeting..but decided not to as really should rest!!! So went home...but din sleep till 1am... went thru some old bridal mags and realised I have quite a few decisions to make for the wedding... I have forgotten about... I think I'm really out of touch!

Sat...Gym... then went to meet Ame and gang at Vivo for dinner.. Went to this place call Shin Kushiya... Quite expensive place. Nice ambience, nice food, polite service but expensive... Most guys wouldn't be able to fill their stomach without spending a bomb! haha.. After that, was off to Sentosa on the Sentosa Express...to Cafe del Mar... The place is only so-so...din really live up to the hype... The daybeds were wet, perhaps cuz it rained during the day...drinks were sub-standard... service was nothing fantastic...

Sun...MJ day... that's about all I did for the whole day...

Something I must write about... EAT and EAT and EAT the whole weekend!!!! jia lat... eat so much plus eat so late on sat nite!!! 12plus am!!! Need to work harder at gym this wk!!! =(

Recovering...to Me

Today I realised that I am laughing a lot more...and louder....than I have for a while...

In fact recently...I think I have been described as feeling quite high by friends and myself...a result of getting more exercise and thus increased endorphins in my body...

But I think it is also a result of me letting go of work stress...

Work stress has been bothering me since late last year... the peak was during feb/early mar when I was preparing for an event... it was a real torture... although I had so much help from many people around me... it was still tough...

Anyway...it's now over...

I probably have to start working on letting go of the irritation I feel towards someone...and try to be more patient...although I still get really frustrated with the kind of work I get sometimes...

It's a pity I dun like yoga... nonetheless maybe it's time to give it a try again...

To be concerned or Not to be concerned..

Had not planned to blog...but...

Was on msn and saw a friend with the nick "Lost"...naturally i was concerned...and asked why lost? then...he was like saying he feels like he dunno wat to do... and i asked...wat area... and he said everything... So i tried to help by asking leading questions like...was there any triggers? anything he heard, saw made him felt tt way... any incidents...? But I felt my concern wasn't that appreciated... maybe i'm juz being nosy... but i juz wanted to show concern...

This is a fren whom I was close to for a while... recently I felt it has cooled off... why, exactly, I am not sure...

I mean in the end, he did say he's grateful for the concern... but well... okok... maybe i am juz too sensitive la... and nosy at the same time...

how to decide whether to show concern or not... really? =(

My world's been a little strange recently.... dunno y...

sidenote: I was thinking when's payday juz now...and it seems quite near... happy at the thought..somehow... influenced by someone in office who's always counting down to the next payday... 9 more days...!! =)

It's Friday again...Almost...

This week went by real fast... although was a tiring week....

I have a temp come in and help me with my work oredi.. It's nice to have an extra pair of hands definitely... but work is never ending... plus he actually gave me some extra work too.. got to check some of his work... I dun normally do that.. but cuz he made a few mistakes... so hv to start reminding him and checking his work... Still, I am glad to have him around.. Coincidentally, he's also from RVHS and was from the badminton team too! hehe...

gym on tue was quite fun... body combat is always fun... might be even btr if i have a real target... well...alrite...maybe not! haha

wed was bf's bday... since it's a wkday, we juz went for simple dinner and juz do some shopping. simple bday... nonetheless he was happy! can see in his eyes! =) Although i did wonder..was it my bday or his... haha... cuz dinner was sushi tei, my fav...his too! and i did some shopping of my stuff, then we went looking for things for my office...ended the nite wif ben & jerry's...my fav at the moment! haha...all abt me! hehe.. =þ But i know he enjoyed the nite... really....!!! Please believe me.........

thu, tt's now... din do much.. some OT...to finish up some work... Wasn't a v pleasant day cuz had some problems wif someone at work and i was left trembling with anger... wonder how long more i can hang in there before hanging myself... *shakes head*

And another thing...does alcohol affect brain? it does rite? I find tt i dun write as well as i used to recently... either cuz i stop reading or really drank too much!!! :( have to buck up....

nite everyone... tml's gonna be a better day than today.. I am sure! =)

The weekend...

It was a long weekend..and it passed by as quickly as a normal one though... :(

Friday, went for 2 hours body combat... going to the gym has become my fav pastime recently... partly cuz i feel i getting very un-toned and partly cuz my photoshoot for my wedding is coming... have to slim down/ get toned... do watever is necessary to look better in pics!!! OK..anyway.. after that ran around town, trying to get some things done before mtg bf and his frens for pool and dinner.. was quite a bz and tiring day. I tink i was still feeling the adranalin rush the whole day...so was alittle more chatty then usual...

Saturday, was quite a big day... the day when the ultimate surprise was planned.. One of the task for friday (day before) was to print this Tee for my bf.. to further convince him tt he wasn't getting any big surprise for his bday.... NOT the jolin concert... when in fact HE IS GOING...of cuz wif me. AND sitting in the premium seats... first time for him (and me too)! this surprise was planned since Jan, before all my work frustrations got the better of me... Thankfully I had this planned early...!!! This tee i was toking about...it's a tee with a collage of pics of jolin printed on the front...and it's supposed to make up for the concert. We agreed that we werent going cuz we wanna save up for the wedding... when in fact i oredi bought the tickets... but had to tell him tt iwanna save up and dun wanna go.. haha... So was quite exciting...that I had to make sure everything flows properly...slight panic when it rained in the afternoon as the place we going for dinner (Cosy Bay) is an alfresco place near to the concert venue (indoor stadium)...Thankfuly the rain stopped...although it drizzled for a while after we got to the place... When we were leaving, the rain stopped again! hehe.. Everything went smoothly (rather smoothly) and he got his nice big surprise in the end, when he finally gave up hopes that thr was going to be any surprises at all! haha... funny... Although his first words were.... 你骗我！ but i knew he was ctually very touched! =þ

On to the concert... it was nice... very entertaining... Jolin danced very well..and the songs were nice, though she din do very well in terms of singing... i guess singing and dancing at the same time is really quite a feat! The 2.5 hours concert passed VERY fast.... :( soon it was the last song and MY FAVOURITE SONG! I always sing it at KTVs.... Good times always passes very quickly... so gone was my hard-earned money but a nice experience gained... and definitely a memorable one for my bf! ;)

Sunday...today... GYM again. haha... Told you it's my fav pastime now... Had planned to go for the body combat class but couldn't make it in the end... flew plane.. and Nic had to go on her own for that class! Went for the class after the combat, which is Hi-Lo...This is an aerobics class which involves lotsa jumping around etc... Which turned out to be quite nice too. I have tried aerobics before and the class wasn't that difficult for me. Nic was already out of breath after the combat class. haha...So she took it easy during this class...! =þ

After gym, went to Elena's place....LONG TIME since I went there... tink the last time was NY eve...if I am not wrong. have not met them for very long actually... cuz of work mostly.. they did pasta and chocolate fondue... So i had abit of pasta, and lotsa fruits w/o chocolate cuz I dun fancy that! This group of frens were the ones who started me on regular drinking sessions... They do light drinking though... opened a bottle of white wine to share among 5 of us... Was nice. but maybe cuz I din have much food the whole day... is feeling bit tipsy... but maybe I'm tired from the gym too... shall sleep early tonite if I can...

So there goes my weekend...and the new week starts tml... No more short week till May.. :(

How was your weekend?

Super Idle Day...

I wasn't really in the mood to work today... :(

Most of the day was spent lazing... doing small tasks like filing...etc...

In fact, watched some videos on youtube near the end of the day..

Last nite was another crazy nite with the AA sistas.. We really go mad when we have a camera with us! The photos we take are so ridiculous sometime and drives some of us to tears when we view the pics the next day...

But the fun nite resulted in 3 zombies today... me and sharon more zonked...while nic was still feeling ok. Maybe age plays a part...haha..

That's all I can managed to type now... Feeling very sleepy but wanted to keep my promise to myself... to blog more often, if not daily... Cuz this year i have't really been blogging... have to start again... and brush up my writing skills again...

I might be my own biggest fan.. haha.. cuz when i read my old entries... i tink i write quite well sometimes... haha... =þ

Cheers to long weekend.... Tml's friday and it's supposed to be a good one... ;)

Raindrops keep falling on my head...

Have I blogged about this before? I'm not sure....

Was reading a blog by a friend juz now and a word caught my eye...

Raindrop...a word that i am very familiar with...it is my nick online...most of my identities on many websites is linked to this word... was my userid for singnet acct. now the userid for gmail... wat's so special abt this?

I have been using this nick for the past 11 yrs or so... since JC days... it's funny how i acquired this nick. really.. amazing...and i actually stick to it all these years... i guess it shows how high an inertia i have.. or maybe if you prefer, you can say i am very sentimental... :þ

This nick was given to me by my net-parents in JC times.. crazy ya? haha.. i used to have a cyber daddy and mummy... madness... I think I ran out of nick one day and asked them to name me! they came up with raindrop, from where i dunno... but i tink it's nice... so adopted it ever since. now everytime i see this word, i feel it's referring to me! hehe... quite funny...

so ppl who tried to chat me up on the net used to go 'raindrops keep falling on my head'... bad pick-up line..haha.... :þ but i am nice, and normally will entertain them... and say hopefully i'm not tt heavy :þ damn corny... haha...

somehow the contents in this blog feels familiar... like i have recounted this before... dun care.. i am old and can repeat everything i said for a million times... hahaha...

What I wanted to blog about today are the thoughts i had after seeing the word 'raindrop' in my fren's blog...

~ raindrop is a very simple word...actually... essentially meaning a drop of rain...

but depending on the strength of the rain... the droplets can be small or huge...dense or sparse..fast and furious or slow and gentle...

and somehow i feel they relate to me too... I am so changeable... i wonder if anyone really knows me inside out... i mean how i will react to things and behaviour, maybe alot of ppl can guess.. i agree that my actions r predictable... but my tots...i tink they aren't as predictable... haha...

Very complicated...

It's late and nonsense comes late at nite.... it's time to sleep... ZZzzZZzzZZzz...

P/S: AA chief having alcohol withdrawal symptoms...Calling all AA members to gather at Dbl O later this evening for a meeting... THIS IS AN ORDER! =þ I'm sure they are glad to obliged... hehe... Cheers, girls!

Lucky Colours for Different Days of the Week!

Something I learnt during my BKK trip...

Depending on the day you were born, your lucky colours will be as follows:

Monday = Yellow/Gold
Tuesday = Pink
Wednesday = Green
Thursday = Orange
Friday = Blue
Saturday = Purple
Sunday = Red

And that explains why I am in yellow today, in case anyone's wondering...

Sharon commented that it's the first time she sees me in yellow too... BUT to be more accurate, I have another yellow top which is a paler version...but no others liao! haha... guess got to get more yellows into my wardrobe...

Just not yellow eyeshadow hor, Sharon? haha... She says it looks like I have iodine solution on my eyelids.... HOW RUDE!!! haha...

Well... I will still stick to my reds and pinks i guess... Except Monday... Yellow/Gold day... ;)

Temporary Shutdown of Blog - Nothing much to say..

It's a low period for this blog...the owner has nothing much to say...

It's the same old complaints with no immediate solutions...Owner gets more irritated if she keeps on repeating the unhappiness... Owner's attitude at work is getting from bad to worse too...esp to a certain someone... something that the owner does not like herself doing but can't help it... :(

Owner needs a break from work... recent trip to BKK was nice but NOT enough... Needs a longer break... like 1 week off work... a total break so as to re-adjust her frame of mind... to retain her sanity...

Owner is still feeling out-of-sorts..........
