Finally, after 4 days taking public transport, I got my car back. As predicted, after sending car to workshop, the interior sure dirty and dusty. So, had to clean up on Sat, I hope. Anyway, the workmanship is not too bad, is quite satisfy with the repair job. Seriously speaking, not much repair was been done as all parts damaged are changed to new ones. Furthermore, all the small dents had been mended. My car looks new now! Even sent for polish, wow haha..
I am just glad that I need not take the MRT tomorrow. The morning rush hour is really terrible. I rather stuck in a jam where I can be all alone to enjoy my radio programme. No need to face kiasu aunties who would kill for a place to sit...
Anyway, during these few days. We only took cab twice. One cab trip was pretty funny. This driver was commenting how lousy and poor driver ladies are. I TOTALLY agree with that majority of ladies aren't good driver. So, this cab driver was saying, female drivers would always do a sudden stop while on the road. This do happens but I am laughing inside my heart lor. Why? Because the cab driver is the pot calling the kettle black. Drivers will know what I mean. Cab drivers are the most dangerous on the road. Yap, even more dangerous than female drivers... :p

Dilemma.. dilemma... dilemma...
So, some of you should know that we (me and Yeok) had been looking around for a place to host our wedding dinner. Our two shortlisted hotels are Furama Riverfront (Old Apollo) and Orchard Parade Hotel. On Sat, we visited both hotels again, to view the actual setup of the wedding. Here how it goes.
Furama Riverfront
Nice nice nice.... it has it own reception area, a swimming pool by its side and a forest on the other side. The wedding theme is super nice, with nice PINK table-top. The wedding favour is very special and cute (I will not disclose the wedding favours here as we might chose this place). Both of us like this place. However, the minus point is that this ballroom got 3 pillars. Therefore, about 6-8 tables view of the stage will be block. However, there are two big projector screens to compensate the blocking. Food wise, we are allow to have more choices here. Able to pick and choose from a fairly wide list.
Orchard Parade Hotel
Not too bad, but not as nice as Furama. A topical ballroom with 2 thin pillars. So, little blockage if any. Wedding favours, not much choice. It is either the boring chocolate or a more unique postage stamps with the couple's wedding picture. The resturant is under Tung Lok, so food should be not bad. However, the food menu is more at least fixed. Depending on which price you pay, you will have to follow their menu.
Overall
We know that Furama offers a better deal. Nice and special place. However, the pillars put us off. Sought the advice of my big brother and big sister in office, I may just go for Furama. Got to make a decision by tonight. Orchard Parade Hotel wanted an answer by tommorow. They said that someone else has asked about the same date as us and willing to put down a deposit.
So, who is willing to sit at the tables behind the pillars?? :p

Phenomenon came true
Today, before I started driving, I offered flowers to my Buddha which is placed inside my car. When I was doing that, I had a bad phenomenon. I had a feeling that I would get into an accident....
This is the second time I had such a feeling. The last time I had this feeling was a few months back. During that time, I was closed to an accident. A motorcycle skipped just beside my car. Did not hit my car, such, avoided the accident.
For today, it was different...
I was about 200 metres away from office, when I was kissed on my rear by a lorry. Really kanna accident liao. It was just infront of the coffeeshop below our office. The damage is not too bad but still cost over $1.5K for repairs. The lorry decided to settle in private with me. Hope can get the full amount by tml.
Feeling darn suay and sian. Because I need my car, for work and for the weekend. Had some programmes planned. Anyway, it is always good to take the public transport once in a while....
My car should be ready by Monday. So, still need to take MRT to work on Monday. Sian Sian Sian... I hate the morning hour rush......

Great sense of achievement.
Today, I took my IPPT, for the second time for FY2007. Managed to get a "Silver" Award. To me this is a truly great achievement. Why would I consider this an achievement? The very reason is that for the pass few years, at least 5 years. I had always struggle to even pass my IPPT. For the last 4 years, I would only passed my IPPT on my 4th or 5th attempts. I couldn't blamed anyone else because I would never trained for my IPPT. Nevertheless, I made it a point to pass my IPPT every year. I took it as one of my responsibilities to do so.
This year, I told myself that I would train hard for my IPPT. So since Feb this year, I had started to jog regularly. Make it a point to ran at least 2-3 times a week. I have already come to the point that I will feel uneasy if I do not jog at least 2 times a week. So, a fairly healthy lifestyle I am leading now.
Back to the IPPT. Had actually attempted a test in July. My timing then was 13.26 mins, something like that. Was fairly disappointed as I had took pains in training for it. Anyway, told myself that maybe my training is not enough. So, had put in more training. The extra training did bear fruits. Today, my timing was a cool 11.56 mins. I even punched my hand into the air as I crossed the finishing line telling myself that "I had did it!"
My target was to achieve 12 mins. So anything less than 12 mins is good timing.
After this IPPT, I will still carry on my jogging. May try to train for the half marathon next Dec.
After personal target, for the year 2008 :)

Spiderman...
After more than 10 years of not touching the wall, finally managed to do so today. The last time I did rock climbing was in my poly days. Yap, poly days again. So, was pretty excited when my friend jio me for rock climbing at West Coast. Decided to take the beginners' course as I do not know how to belay. Anyway, it is good to learn the foundation all over again. Well, for the record, a belayer is the one at the bottom of the wall holding the rope to prevent the climber from falling.
Had a good time climbing up some walls. Rock climbing is both challenging and strenuous physically. A pretty good sport to take up IMO. Anyway, made two new friends today. They are friends of my friend. Both gals and still believed to be singles. Any takers?
Was really tired after the climb and came home early to watch Arsenal derby match against all time rivals Tottenham Hotspurs. A good match, Arsenal came from behind to win 3-1 to go top of the table. Hope their form continues....
Francesc Fabregas, scorer of 1 of the 3 goals. He got 5 goals already this season, all from midfield.Thursday, September 13, 2007
Sense of nostalgic, again
My sense of nostalgic kicks in again, today. Watch few games of 3-on-3 basketball games at office. I could almost felt myself playing on the court, back to my good old days.
The basketball court used to be my playground, eat, shit and sleep there. Let me think, that was at least about 10 years ago, during my poly days. During those happy moments, I have at least 3 basketballs, 2 hidden in lockers inside campus and the other at home. Well, the basketballs need to be hidden in lockers because we do not have any "official" lockers. We take which ever locker is empty and keep our ball inside. Haha..
Well, during that time, we will play basketball games every Fridays. Unspoken rules that the court belongs to us on that day. Almost everyday, we will play between classes. And being in a female dominated course, most of my playmates are, of course, females. Mind you, my female friends can play really well! Dribbling, chest-pass, overhead pass, ale-hoop and even dunk the ball! Well, the last one, I made it out.
Anyway, had some really good times taking part in games during my poly years. Can say that I was pretty much a sportsman then. Any ball games, I will be there. Street soccer lah, 3-on-3 basketball lah, 5-on-5 basketball lah, captain's ball lah and even Mixed netball! If you wanna play netball, please do not play in centre position. It is the most tiring position to play in. So was a pretty much recognise figure in campus.. hahaha... Always stands out among the gals because I will always be the only thorn among the roses.
Those were the days..... :)

I am 19!!
Had a simply birthday lunch yesterday at NYNY in Citylink. Had always like their food. However, was rather disappointed with their service yesterday. Was rather pathetic, given my high expectation of good service. Still, the food is good and enjoy our lunch-dinner there. Well, we did wasted some food, the mushroom soup. We ordered th BIG bowl and it was really darn big bowl. In the end, we only managed to take 1/4 of it. The soup was supposedly nice. However, it was so darn big bowl that we felt so disgusted by it. We swear to keep away from any mushroom soup till at least I turn 30!!!?!
After food at NYNY, went shopping for my MP3 player, my birthday present. Ended up at Creative in Marina Sq and wanted a simple player to accompany me during my jogging session. Decided to get the 2GB Zen V2 at $149. Sad to say the store at Marina Sq only had one color left, PINK! Yah, I always seems to have pink color in my life. The pink MP3 player does look girly and yah, gay. Actually, I dun mind the color as I am going to get a armband to hold the player during my jog. I would had gotten it if not for the armband which cost $45. So no pink MP3 player for me, just yet.
Anyway, got the color I wanted, black with green button at a cheaper price of $139 at Gain City near Creative. So, thanks dear for my present!!!

Count down begins...
The big count down had began, living the last few days of my 20s.
In a few days time, I will hit the big 30. No longer can tell people that I am in my 20s already. That is so sad. I know that once guys hit 30, 40 will come at a fast and furious rate. And before you know it, you are already in your 50s. Times really flies like nobody business.
But, however, got to add that, getting old is not a big deal. Like wine, getting older could mean getting better. At least, experience and maturity does come with age.
Ok, I am done with my self-console.
I wanna be forever 18.
I wanna be forever young.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Forever Young
Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the mad men
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true
We'll let them come true
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?

Its my life......
These two days could be considered well-spent. Had company's Dinner on 31 Aug and went to visit 3 hotel venues on 1 Sep. Must say that I am pretty satisfied at what I had seen today.
31 Aug
My company's D & D. Decided not to wear the normal boring office wear and opted for something different. I must say pretty gay-look huh. At least got comments saying I look gay.. Ha.. Anyway, we were sitted at one corner of the ball-room. Did not expect the emcee to come all the way to our table and picked me to go on stage. Was really darn malu. Lucky, the emcee had picked three other persons that I knew too. Well, decided to turn my embarrassment into fun instead. So, had a pretty wild time "playing" the PINK guitar on stage. We played to the tunes of Bon Jovi, Its my life. Overall, the dinner is fun, although I prefer the one last year.
1 Sep
Today, went to three hotels. Pretty like the one at Orchard Parade Hotel. M Hotel looks good too. So now, we had pretty cut down our choices to Orchard Parade, Furama Riverfront and maybe M Hotel. Will do some viewings of each hotels' wedding setup before making our final decision.
Also watched "Ratatouille". Nice show about a rat becoming a chief in Paris. Recommended to those who like animation like Finding Emo, Monster Inc etc.

The Bear
Waterbear is really sensitive to one's feelings. This morning, just after talking 5 mins with him, he can sense that I am down. Initially told him that I am alright as I do not really like to bring problems outside work to office. But guess that I can't hide my feelings from him. And yah, I DID had some problems. As you can see, DID is in past tense... so now I have no more problems.. Well, thanks Waterbear..
Anyway, today finally got my Royce chocolate. Had wanted to get a box on Tuesday lunch time. But did not reach our location at Suntec City. The rain kept us at Shaw Tower and we did not have any brolly with us. Today, I drove to Suntec City again. Darn it, Suntec car park is closed?!? Yah, I know that today is the start of Comex, but did not expect so many people on the first day. Gave up finding a lot at Marina area and once again returned empty handed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes, when you cannot achieve a goal by yourself, you need friends to help you. As Waterbear think I must be pretty desperate to get those chocolates, he volunteered to help me get it. He is doing some work around the area and he said it is easier to get a lot. And darn, thanks to him, I got the chocolates. Felt bad when I saw him coming back to office with a tired face. Anyway, big thanks to you. This entry is for you...
Anyway, for the record, the chocolates are meant as a Teacher's Day gift, for my dear.

ZZzzzZZzzzzz....
These few days, do not know why also, I have been really sleepy at work. I had skip my coffee on Monday. So I blamed my sleepiness on the lack of coffee. Yesterday, had a coffee right in the morning and even had a super duper early 2nd coffee break at 1030 am. Still, I can't last through the whole day. Darn sleepy at 3pm. Today is the same thing, by 4pm, I am half alive. Really bad these few days. I think must blame the weather. Today, rain rain rain the whole morning.... Then, after my lunch the sun is super BIG loh. What kinda of weird weather is that.
Now, I am getting sleepy. Think will turn in early tonight. But then hor, Arsenal is playing tonight at 3am. 2nd leg of t he Cha mp io n s L e a .......zzzZZZZzzzzZzzzzzz......

Call from the other side
Today while busy answering some enquiries at 1805 hours, my phone rings. It was a gal's voice, she is Irene. Well, WTF is this Irene? Ok, she said she is from the recruitment side and asking about my application for GPO. She said I missed out on my diploma transcript. She asked to fax her a copy tmr. To be honest, I was kinda of shock. Firstly, I always thought that our (I mean mine) application would just be sort of be collected and maybe burnt for the seventh month. And secondly, why would recruitment side worked OT for my stupid application?? ha..
Anyway, my chances remained low...
Finally, managed to meet my dear after more than a week. A happy reunion, at least. :) We missed each others so much...
Dun be mistaken, we are just too busy to meet up during the last week....

Fruity Friday
Had a rather fruity yesterday. Work was great. Completed my task before dateline and needless to say lunch was great too. Had BUFFET lunch again. Since I changed office, the amount of buffet lunches I had increased tremendously... haha.. However, I had not put on any weight, as yet. It must be due to the weekly runs and gym sessions I had each week.
So yesterday been Friday, was on relax mood after lunch when new assignment came in. I must say that we did a fairly good job, an eye-opener for both of us. In my line of work, I am always learning something new everyday. I really love what I am doing now. It is always good to love your job, isn't it?
After completing our tasks, the durians store lining along the street really makes me tempted to grab some. My parents love durians too. So in the end, bought 3. Wanted grade D101 but the season already over. So settled for the common D24 for the price of $20. Also grab 1kg of "lan sak", darn sweet. Waterbear also bought a pack of durians. Are we expecting some durian puffs next?
Enjoy your weekends, folks.

《旅行的意义》
歌手名稱： 陳綺貞
歌曲名稱： 旅行的意義
你看過了許多美景
你看過了許多美女
你迷失在地圖上每一道短暫的光陰
你品嚐了夜的巴黎
你踏過下雪的北京
你熟悉書本裡每一句你最愛的真理
卻說不出你愛我的原因
卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合我曾讓你動心
說不出離開的原因
你累計了許多飛行
你用心挑選紀念品
你蒐集了地圖上每一次的風和日麗
你擁抱熱情的島嶼
你埋葬記憶的土耳其
你流連電影裡美麗的不真實的場景
卻說不出你愛我的原因
卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合我曾讓你分心
說不出旅行的意義
你勉強說出你愛我的原因
卻說不出你欣賞我哪一種表情
卻說不出在什麼場合我曾讓你分心
說不出離開的原因
勉強說出你為我寄出的每一封信
都是你離開的原因
你離開我
就是旅行的意義
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The current song that is playing is 《旅行的意义》 by 陈绮贞 or Cheer Chen. She is a talented Taiwanese songwriter / singer. I super like her crystal clear voice and her lyrics are always meaningful. She is super popular in Taiwan but she seems to be an unknown in Singapore. Probably because she seldom do 宣传 here.
She will be coming for a concert next month, I think. If she had came two years ago, most probably I would had bought the most expensive tickets to her concert. But I guess she comes at a wrong time. This is the time when I am saving my money. So, sorry Cheer, can't support you at your concert. It is your lost, not mine. Wow haha..
Her latest "Live" CD 《花的姿態》is good too. Anyone looking for a nice album can consider this CD. Available at all major music stores, while stocks last!

Rot away
Today is a Sunday.
Sunday should be a family day.
But look at the weather, rain whole day.
Nice weather to sleep the entire day.
So let me rot, the whole Sunday.

Nice weather to sleep the entire day.
So let me rot, the whole Sunday.

First Viewing
Today went for our first viewing of venues to host our wedding dinner. Went to Furama Riverfront, a hotel in Havelock Road.
Saw one of the rooms, Mercury Room at level five. This is a new ballroom which can cater to about 30-33 tables. The bad points of this room is that it got low celling and there are 3 pillars inside the room. But they got projector screens to show 'live' the events that will take place on the stage. The plus point of this room is that it is beside a swimming pool. Can host the cocktail reception by the pool side. Seems to be not bad.
Furthermore, also viewed the bigger ballroom, Venus. I quite like this room as it had high ceilings, no pillars blockage and the space is so much bigger. However, the minus points are that we must booked a min of 28 tables and the price is higher for this room. Well, do not want to take the risk to book 28 tables although we may even need more than that.
Overall, is pretty satified with this place. The hotel also have some pretty nice and cute wedding favours. Still in the consideration list.
Ratings: 7.5/10 for Venus
7/10 for Mercury
In the upcoming weekends, we will be viewings more venues...

Donations to Charity
Come to think of it, Singaporeans are really a caring group of people. Every week, without fail, you will see queues of people lining up to make donations. On every Wed, Sat and Sun, the queues gets longer. In some hot donations spots like the 7-11 store in Yishun, the queue gets really long comes Mondays and Thursdays. Well, Singaporeans are a really kind lot!
I used to make weekly donations too. However, I believed I am getting more than what I donated. My luck is good? Nah, never had much luck so far in my life. Its just that I stopped at the right time.
At the last World Cup, I got more than what I donated. Yeah, I did won some. Stop after sensing my luck is getting bad, so still win. Well, I am a die hard fans of the underdogs, so my donations normally goes towards them. Higher risk, higher returns. Always my style of donations.
Come the new EPL season, not going to make much donations. But still on-off monitor the screen infront of the donation outlets or online. Hand abit itchy when I saw the odds for yesterday match, Spurs VS Everton. Wanna support the underdog Everton at an odds of $4.00, but did not. Dun think I should make donations since I am saving up for my big day.
The result? Spurs 1 Everton 3
Arsenal playing later tonight, Champions League qualifier. Will not be watching it, need my sleep for a long day at work tmr.... Sweet dreams....

The Wedding Plan
Here are the list of stuffs that we need to do prepare for a wedding next Dec.
1) Look for a fortune teller to have our ROM and wedding dates fixed
2) Source for restaurants or hotels to host our dinner. Got to book early. Got people already complaining that they can't get hotels for next Dec. This is freaking me out.
3) Book dinner venue ASAP.
4) Source for wedding packages.
5) Look for wedding bands.
6) Decide whether to go for honeymoon stright after wedding dinner.
7) Name list of friends and relatives to invite for wedding dinner.
8) Starts saving money!!
I think there should be more to be done. But at the moment can't really think properly. Planning a wedding can be stressful. Anyone willing to become my free wedding planner?

Kanna tagged? What the...
Got this from Miss Watson, kinda of fun, I think. However, rules are meant to be broken, so I will not tag anyone else.
Rules of the game:
Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks!
1) An open secret. I love pink color. I got pink T-shirt, pink polo tees, pink short sleeves shirts (i think about 3 I got) and lastly pink color long sleeves shirt. But please, I am no gay.
2) During Chinese New Year, I must wear new red color underwear. My socks must also be new. But, I dun insist on other new clothing.
3) This, my parents told me about this. When I was young, like a few months old, I once hold onto the feelers of a cockroach and swing it about.
4) My set of teeth is the best feature of my body. Also the part I like best. Can become colgate model. But please, cover my face, just show ny teeth.
5) I like the Hong Kong Band Beyond since I was like 13 years old. Went to their concert alone in 1995 when I was still in poly. I still collects their CDs, some of which cost over few hundreds.
6) Sometimes, I called my dear, brother. In return, she calls me sister. One weird couple we are, I must say.
7) My birthmark is on my right ribcage, just below my armpit.
8) I MUST drink orange juice while on a flight. Not other juice, just orange.
9) I was hit by a moving van while I was on duty, in full uniform, on a Christmas Eve 1999. Went for my Christmas dinner in a arm sling.
10) I got a two year old son.
All of the above are facts, except for number 10. Wow hahahaha... I crap alot.
