A really expensive lesson

I'm really suck at planning. Why can't I just endure another week?

I really shouldn't had set my last day of work as 24th!!! Coz this week I only work 4 days! If I continue to work till end of month, I could have get my last week of pay and the allowance!!! Which is a 4 digits amount!

Stupiak right?

Instead, I encashed my leave for that pitiful $100 plus.

I'm an idiot!

Stupid stupid stupid.

Spring cleaning 3 days are enough, what for do I need 10 days!!!

Roar.

Something that cheered me up a little, heh... Guy no. 3!!! Apparently, there is another shirtless guy!!!

Another one to the collection!

yes, my hand is at the waist again. he asked me to!!!

then came his hands... 

just eat lah, ha ha! this one very onz!

Now I just need Esther's cutie to complete a set of three.... I regretted not taking with the ang mohs!

Merry X'mas!!!

I said: "Dear Santa, pls send him to my bedroom on Xmas. I will prepare a big sock. Thank you very muchie."

This was the conversation I had with Miss Gwee when I posted this picture, that I wanted him for Xmas.

And on Xmas Eve, which I was wearing my reindeer ears shopping around in Orchard, we paid a visit to Abercrombie & Fitch again, since Miss Gwee had never been there before. Of course, I wouldn't let a chance like this slip! I was there on Fri but couldn't take one as there were far too many people!!!

Santa did not send him to my bedroom, but send him on duty again on Sat at A&F!

And it's the same guy again! Can see that I'm very happy. LOL.

Damn you Eteract

I joined Eteract full of hopes.

The first guy who messaged me is my own friend welcoming to the community. -_-|||

The second guy is an American is his 50s. -_____-!!! And seriously I suspect he's fake!

The third guy was a British, younger and totally different from my criteria!!! @____@ Fine... he's dark skin.

The fourth guy was a man in his 40s and told me he's a crane man and has immense wealth. You think you rich big deal ah? And he said he like fat women, as said in his profile. Fuck you, I hate pple say I fat.

The fifth guy is Chinese-Malay 27 year old guy. Finally something's looking good. But he looked nerdy and reminded me of the bespectacled pervert ex-bf of my friend, and something just so wrong about him lah.

Shit.... Seemed like I'm really picky... But I'm not looking for someone like the A&F hotties!!! Like this one below... haiz....

I gauge his waist wrongly, hence the hands on the arms. -_-|||

 I seemed to attract the wrong guys, why???!!!???

I'm a VIP

Had my palm read by a master on Friday, at Clarke Quay. Just gonna summarize what he said to me, in point forms. These are what I remembered.

1)Before he started my report, he told not to be angry with whatever he said. Then the first thing he spoke was, I'm very sexy. Men knows it... Hmm... U say I sexy while I was wearing jeans and sweater, how to be angry??!!?? :P
2)I'm always misunderstood by people
3) I have a tai tai life, although when I'm old, I 劳碌命. So contradicting, when I asked him, he replied, play mahjong also work mah.
4) I have one of those trident line, he told me is trade secret when I asked for it's meaning. So I googled it, it means I have be happy, wealthy and healthy. He also mentioned my palm lines are VIP lines, so I am a VIP in the future.
5) I will make my mark.
6) 27, 32 and 35 are the ages where I will have major changes: married, migrate, change job. Score one for 27.
7) I will either be very petty, or can't give birth. Okie... this is a bit depressing.
8) I'm a detailed person. And in a way true, coz I asked the ages of major changes, happen in lunar age or solar age. He pek chek replied,"see u r so detailed! It makes no diff"
 9) I'm a born therapist, and I like to help people with their trouble. Kaypo that is. But I can't help myself.
10) 1,5,7 are my lucky numbers and light blue is my lucky color.
11) I have to avoid water, e.g. puddle of water. Weird
12) I'm a good writer, or good talker. And no secret is safe with me, coz I'm loud mouth.
13) I have to marry someone who is like me, like a twin. No woodblock for me, coz I like to talk! So my other must also like to talk and siao on!
14) I appear gungho and happy-go-lucky, but I'm actually timid, and pessimistic.
15) 越老越好命
16）Avoid carbs, might get high blood when I'm older. -_-|||
17) I don't like to study, I study for the sake of study... >_<
18)...
 Update when I remember more details. That's a lot stuff for 10 mins.

SCMS 2011

I still can't believe I completed a 21km marathon!!! The adrenalin is still flowing!!! So much that I registered for 3 marathons that night! lol!

Anyway, the route for 21km was very interesting!!! So many slopes!!! Really taking my life siah... anyway, when we were in USS, we were greeted by their mascots! And when I saw Puss-in-boots, I quickly ran to take a picture with him!!! And because Shuhua couldn't operate my phone, I had to ran 3 times to him before finally one decent photo!!!

This was taken by Stacie.

The good one taken!

So, I took 4 hrs to complete 21km, not exactly my ideal timing, I had aimed for 3.5 hrs... apparently, I'm still not mentally well trained yet... must push myself harder next time!

There were a few times I felt I could go on, but I just didn't want to, I also dunno why. Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's the energy drain. In fact, after many cups of 100plus, I felt like my energy was recharged!!!

Nvm, I have 3 marathons to redeem this 遗憾. =)

I'm really blessed

I really do think I'm super blessed.

I had for months, trying to wriggle out of my current situation, that is, my tough job. I ashamed to say, I really can't take the technical load, and furthermore, I really feared the standby work.

I kept wanting to find a job before I get started on standby, and my prayers was answered. It was really a wish came through.

My friend Jensen recommended me this job, not only was the job scope something I was used to doing years ago, they could match my current pay! That was really blessing!!!

I wonder if the people upstairs had anything to do with this... coz recently, while my whole family was in Hatyai, the huat cake was mysteriously cleaned up! It was supposed to be there for a year, hence a lot of ash fell on it.

I must really pray harder now...

从韩国到合艾，我旅途畅快!!!

Omg, what a traveling month, kinda feel how a jet-setter is!!! Got to say, I love it!!!

At Korea, we travelled on our own and I'm really impressed with their subway stations. It's freaking big!!!  I didn't feel this awesomeness when I was in Taiwan. Somehow, their trains system felt very similar, like they got the trains from same vendor.

And their food is so delicious everywhere! Except for a restaurant opened by a celebrity with the initial J.C. Total waste of money.

Even their road stalls tasted very good.  Damn, missed their kimchi.

Hatyai trip was my virgin trip to Thailand. We went to a lot of places to pray, had Thai massage, which was shiokingly painful and shopping!! I also watched the ah kua show which I placed too much hope and ended up disappointed. They looked so glamorous on stage, altho some lipsynced really badly, a few really made an effort to put up the best show. Once show was over, a lot of them, especially those who danced and lip-synced badly but super pretty, were out to grab our money. Little left of any self-respect what a true performer should have. Only one truly bowed and shook hands without showing the money face.

The real main aim was the shopping!!! I bought 2 bags and freaking 4 pairs of shoes. No more place to store them liao. Gotta 乾坤大挪移 the stuff  and 横扫千军 the old items! Really have to be firm and throw away old thing.

I also got really suay, bitter by bees during the praying trip and had diarrhea on the last day. Face was so pale and body was so weak. Jia and Min had to let me rest. So we went Sizzlers and I really slept, on the chair just like that.

I hoped whatever bad things stayed in Hatyai and have a smoother days ahead.

I miss Korea already~~~

The weather, the food, the cute guys!

想你， 心是那么的痛。

I'm back to square one...

This is a good thing, after 3 months of sheer hard work, I lost 6kgs and that brought me back to my lightest since 13yo, 74!!! You all had no idea how pleased I was and how much more determined I am to shake 4 more kgs off by end of year!

My face is sharper, my pants are looser, even my feet is getting slimmer! I had a great sense of satisfaction when I pulled my belt, seeing the marks shifted in more the right every month! Shiok to the max!

I'm so in love with my body right now, but I know I can do better!

While in Korea I can't really jog, it is a good time for my body to relax a bit before making final dashes towards 21km in Dec!!!!

30", here I come!!!

爱干净是美德，超洁癖是特意功能!

It dawned on me when I was vacuuming the floor. Being clean, anybody and everybody can do it, but to be OCD in cleanliness, it's definitely a superpower, coz only few gets it and it's sometimes awe-inspriring or awe-irritating.

This is my super power, coz I know no one will ever thought of cleaning the floor in this way: Vacuum, mop, and then use magic-cleaner to test for squeakiness and to trap any flyaway dust. It's something I enjoy doing, and recently, exercising had gave me an energy boost and I'm starting to clean the house again. Hadn't been doing coz I was always tired after work. Now I even washed the dishes for my sis which I used to hate coz I felt that one should be responsible for their used dishes. And I'll wash the sink, clear the rubbish and wipe the table. Isn't this saving people's (trouble)?

Now that I'm back at housework, the happiest is my mum la!

It's been a long time

Met up with Shennon and Hanxiang last night. What a reunion, the last time I saw them was ten years ago! A lot had definitely changed, like both of them are married, their hair length are swapped, hx is the one with the longest hair between us now, and we also lost our baby fats.

The things that remained unchanged is our personalities, our youthful looks and our craps. Lol. It was fun to reminisce our fun JC life...

Catch up soon babes!!!

I have a free gym instructor

I have really helpful friends! A guy was giving me tips on how to slim down my frame, train my stamina and reduce the size of my carrot legs!!!

To slim down frame: Circuit training. Dash 100m, rest 1 min (cool down), and dash 100m again. Repeat 4 times (That is 800m)

To train stamina and expand lungs for more air intake: breathe in through nose twice quickly and let it out through mouth.

To reduce my carrot legs: Need to apply a certain cream to convert the muscle to fat, and do leg raising exercise. Need more info on this and I'll update soon.

I believe this will work coz he used to be a trainer!!! Yeah! Free consultation!!!

Every km is a revelation

I believed it was my virgin 3.8km. The last long run was only one round that's all. Now I managed to pass the 3km milestone!!!

 The 1st km, it was a breeze for me now, as I anticipated the ache.

 By the 2nd km, I was trying to keep my breathing constant and make sure I don't pant too much. That way, I could really focus on my pace. My trick to keep myself breathing constantly was to breath in thru my mouth, and breathe out thru my nose. I could gulp more air this way.

 When I reached the 3rd km, I told myself, the ache won't go away even if I stopped, so I just pushed myself to jog even more. I already reached my goal distance, but I want to run more. So I kept jogging, keeping at constant pace, until I reached the other entrance of Yishnn Park. By then, all the aches were like part of myself, and I could run jog further. However, i decided to stop, so that there's room for improvement. I don't to demoralise myself in the next run should I unable to attain the achieved record.

I am just so happy now, I love exercise!!!

Yen is out

I don't mean the Japanese Yen, I meant my brow artist, Yen Yen had left Benefit @ Tangs. The lady who did my brow has good skills too, but when it comes to attentiveness, Yen is still better.

I hope she had left for some place better!

Paramore!!!

What I can say, I'm a convert!

I can imagine myself kickboxing to your high beat songs!

More updates to come! It's late, time to sleep!

Help!

That's the scream of my legs, back and arms. The Mega Combat is definitely one event I'm so gonna join again and again! It's so fun to do a mass workout with so many people!

The instructors were so energetic, and instructions were very clear, even a 70-yr old could follow! Because they try to do mirror image for the first timers, but I used to follow the same side, hence I was on diff sides with the rest most of the time. It wasn't until when they shout "Right" then I realised I was on the wrong side.

It was my first time joining Mega Combat, but I knew the kickboxing routine quite well, so it was quite similar except for the Taichi part, which got me really blur lah. Just any how water melon cut and catch my breathe at the same time.

I definitely going back again!

Denise Keller and the Manhunt winners joined us too, and seriously, the Manhunt winners were to pacify the ladies, coz 90% of the participants were ladies! Denise was the eye candy for the guys lor...

The emcee is cute looking too, but I forgot his name and I lost the brochure, oh well... [update: his name is Paul Foster].

Even before I start the combat, I was already half tired out by rushing from True Fitness to The Body Shop Sale and back to True Fitness to store my things. The walk itself was already 15 mins and I only had an hour. But it was good buy! Although I was still shocked at the amount. I thought it was going to be less then $80 lor. =)

Next is to train for my 21 km!!!

A healthy start!

I finally embarked on a jogging plan! So far, I've run 3 times and I am clocking more distance. It may not be much, but for someone who hasn't been moving much, I think it is a good start! If I be hard to myself, I think I will give up more easily.

As for now, I'm not focusing so much on my weight loss, but rather how much distancxe I can cover. I'm training for my 21km, so stamina is my utmost concern now. Losing weight is a bonus, although now I try to cut down my carbo to aid a little, hee hee. Still sticking to the 3 don'ts tho, 'cept that I broke the no carbo rule. It's too difficult! I have cravings during my period and I ate more than usual! So instead of depriving myself, I decided to input a little carbo during breakfast and lunch, rather than starving myself from it. Contradicting? Yes, but I think it's the best idea for now.

Anyway, when I jogged last week, with my colleague at Yishun Stadium, I ran like 3 rounds and then I gave up and started walking.so a total of 2.4km took me 30mins. -_-|||

Then on Wed, I went jogging with Min, and we covered Yishun Park. For once, I managed to pass the 4th corner before I stopped at the main entrance and started walking back. it also took me 30 mins, but this time round, the distance was a little bit more, think I ran 2km and walked 1km. Much better than the Yishun Stadium!

And today, I ran past the big drain before I stopped! That's like running for 2.4km straight! But if it was really 2.4km NAPFA run, I will fail the test coz my timing was 18 mins. Still, it was an improvement! And I even managed to drag myself to the exercise corner and did some sit-ups.

So, in conclusion, I'm definitely improving in baby steps!

Customer Service

So, as usual, I went shopping, with an ex colleague. I dropped by my favourite Topshop, the outlet at Knightsbridge, where I met the warmest SA I ever had.

After she directed me to my changing room, she just popped this sentence, "U very sexy, like me" with the matching action of showing off her body. I was amused, thought she was just being funny, u know, coz both of us were bah bah, altho I think she was sexier.

When I came out of the changing, room, she gave me a hug. I was seriously appalled and amused and happy lah.  It was not a tactic to make me feel good so that I would buy anything, coz I already decided to buy the tank top after trying. She just felt really warm hearted.

This got me thinking. While most of us repelled at the ideas of foreigners infiltrating our job industries, but then, even if a Singaporean was a SA, I doubt she will be that friendly, you know. Probably only polite and attend to my requests, We do need such people to boom up our retail industry, which in turn boomed the tourism industry. They are such a joy to be with and seriously, they are super patient!

BTW, by foreigners, I mean those who do not had Mandarin as their first language.

I might look for Rosemarie when I'm back there again. =)

Clean slate

It's 1st of August.

My status as a permanent employee officially started and it's also the start to a healthier me.

I've been bullshitting many years that I want to lose weight, yes I did, but not for long, I will put back twice whatever I lost in a quarter of the time I took to lose. This time round, I'm not going to focus so much on my weight, the number, but more of the quality things I'm going to do to make myself healthy.

A strategic plan is needed to keep me focus and I'm going to do it in baby steps. Every month, I'm going to change 3 bad habits that would jeopardize my aim of of healthy me. For this month, these are the three things I'm not going to do:

1. Drink sweetened liquid which includes my daily needed caffeine; I'm going to stick to plain water.
2. Take the lift; Come on, 50 flights of steps a day ain't that difficult. 
3. No intake of fruits; I'm so going to be an apple murderer, like Jamie.

My aim is to squeeze into the 34 inches skirt I bought donkey years ago. I'm not going to set any deadline, I'm just going to let things run freely. Goals had never been my ally, so why not I try something else.

Still, it would be nice to check on my weight once a while, a little lost is a little encouragement right? But I'm not going to dump my weight here, but my BMI is 32. =(

A lot of work to be done to reach the healthy 25!
