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!

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:

- Drink sweetened liquid which includes my daily needed caffeine; I'm going to stick to plain water.
- Take the lift; Come on, 50 flights of steps a day ain't that difficult.
- 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!

My Mum is a Game Addict
A few years back, when we already had computer for some years. I decided to let my mum get over her fear of PC by installing her favorite game Mahjong. It worked good, way too good when she hurled nasty words at me coz she thought I had uninstall her Mahjong game. She thought I thought she was addicted so I wanted to wean her off it. BTW, my little sis who was 3 at that time had been the one to uninstall and I became the scapegoat.
Fast forward 6 years, now the craze is all pads, tablets and touch screen phones. Mum, once again, got addicted to some foodie games, thanks to my little sis once again. And once her addiction starts, she will find her way and mean to get hold of iPhone or iPad. Thank goodness my phone was Android, so it was spared from her. Jia was quite shocked when my mum just grab the iPad out of her bag and started playing games.
Well, kudos to her for being such a hype mum. =)

Harry Potter 7 Part 2 & Transformers
Watched these 2 movies today.
HP7-2 had not even ended and I already started my water tap. I had no idea why. Probably sad that I'll never see these 3 as Harry, Ron and Hermione again. Talking about Hermione, I wonder how many baby girls had been named this since the start of HP craze...
HP7-2 is not the best of HP that I loved, but I must say, it was at least so much better than HP 5 6 7-1. HP 5 & 6 too droning, HP7-1 focus too much on love. HP7-2 did focus a little too much on Hermione's neckline, especially when she was changed back to herself, but wearing Bellatrix's clothes. Was it necessary? I think there was even a close shot of it...
Still, it was great that there was not too much weird pauses, altho my sister disagree. These 2 hours were on the last few chapters of the HP7, so I think they did put in a lot more details and stick more to the original story, leaving just the important highlights which string everything together. But the breaking of the wand? WTF, it's magical! It's super powerful! I think they should do the part where Harry buried it with Dumbledore!
Whatever... It's still not so bad overall, and I might want to catch it in 3D. =)
Transfomers 3, well, for female lead, I still like Mikaela, the very garang lady. They tried to portray Carly as a little more heroine when she talked to Megatron, but seriously, I was like duhz. Megatron is not human, why would he be so bothered by what she said about he being a bitch to Sentinel Prime? As usual, Michael Bay can't resist close-up shots on her B & B (Buxom & Bum). As a VS model, she has pretty figure, but not the normal sexy pretty face. Well, she got Bay's attention and bam, she's in the movie. I missed biker chick Mikaela. That's the name I will name my future daughter, or my bitch (I mean she-dog), see which comes first. Ha ha.
As for the story, like all Transformers series, it was a chop chop hurry hurry BOMB! The links aren't very strong, but clear enough to explain everything. It was better than T2, where I caught no heads or tails. I can't even remember the story, except it was about the matrix. It was my repeat coz I fell asleep the first time I saw it, not because it was boring but because I was too tired from GE run + shopping. Heh...
Miss Kim and I had a date to watch HP7-2 in 3D, and she commented that the movies we watched together were always repeats. Well, good shows worth twice the viewing. =)
HP7-2 is going to be my favorite movie of this year coz... it was my first movie without my specs!!! heh heh heh. Not lame okay...

I'm an old fart
A few weeks ago, during my journey back home in 812, a bunch of sec school kids boarded the bus. They should be in sec. 3. Anyway, like all kids, they were fooling around. Then, there was this one kid who used his thick textbook and hit it on a girl, his friend. The rest of them just laughed and the victim also laughed it off.
I contemplated about telling both of them this was wrong. I mean, it was literally to hit on girls! I don't see my peers doing that when I was their age! Wait, did they or did not? I can't remember, but still, if my male classmates were to use a textbook to whack me, I would have whack them ten times back.
But then, who am I to tell them that this was not the way or blah blah blah. To them, I'll probably be the weird lady who told them what to do. Kids in those age don't take instructions anyway.
Considering the generation gap, I'm just an old fart.

I'm half angel, half devil
I finally went for a 5km run today! Three cheers for myself! Jia was so not used to me wearing sleeveless in public. As a matter of fact, I had to get used to such obscenity too, especially my running pants, so short, and I had to keep pulling it to prevent them from dropping. And this is what Jia commented about me wearing sleeveless.
Jia: So not used to seeing you wearing sleeveless, I mean, I didn't expect your arm to be so big!
Me: -_-|||, I know ah, that's why I always say your arm is not big compare to mine.
Jia: Heh...
*Pause...
Me: So, what exactly do I look wearing sleeveless? Obscene is it?
Jia: No, you look so tough, and so muscular, I wouldn't dare to provoke you lor.
Me: True, even when I just rolled my sleeves, I also looked very fit, that my team lead thought I went body building or soemthing. So not match my face hor?
Jia: *nod head*, yah....
Me: Haiz, seems like I have 天使般的脸孔， 魔鬼般的身材 (Angelic face, devilish figure) also.
Jia: -_____-|||||

PoSSE
That's the name of the one week course I'm currently attending. The trainer is a Vancouver native, but he looked more like he came from Santa Land. He's very round and jolly looking, like Santa Claus in suits.
Looks aside, he has very impressive background and he is the President in the company, well he founded it. And this company collaborated with some of the world's big companies, so, don't play play with him.
As much as I was super impressed with his knowledge and felt very honored to be trained by him, but I just could not quite keep awake most of the time, especially on Mon and Tue when Aunt Flow came.
I was so embarrassed to talk to him coz he obviously caught me sleeping everyday and when I bumped into him on my way back, I just said a quick goodbye and double my speed.
My first impression onto other people usually very bad, and my teammates probably think I was anti social coz I refused to open my mouth and contribute anything. Not I didn't want, I was just too lethargic to keep up with the coursework. By Wed, I was more or less back to normal mode and probably appeared a little bit too enthusiastic.
But then, the people in my team all very quiet, super ISTJ lah. There this guy who gave a lot of explanation but refused to do the presentation. But who am I to judge him when I'm worse than him. The course is very difficult and it took me a while before I understand the exercise.

Damn you Stomach Flu
I couldn't remember the last time I vomited so badly. In a time span of 20 minutes, I vomited 3 times and pretty much emptied my lunch. Bo pian, 2 more hours before knocking off, I called and asked if I need to take MC if I leave home now.
The ride home was pretty awful, I had to hold my urge to vomit in the cab. The moment I alighted, I wanted to vomit, but my first thought was, "Not here, no tissue". So I endured for another 5 mins while I made my way up home. Thankfully, the cab driver stopped just nice in front of the lift, so I didn't have to walk that much.
The moment I opened the door, I merlioned into the plastic bag which I stashed for a "just in case I can't make it to the toilet". My mum and little sister watched me like I'm a soap opera or something, barely just asking why I was home so early. Then my mum quipped after I was done with vomiting, "Ur daddy says this is San Kang Hur". I think it meant sick or something.
I got my little sister to throw the waste for me while I just concussed on the floor. It took me an hour or so before I wriggled myself up to my bed, and wrapped myself into my snuggly blanket. My room was like a oven and yet I felt cold.
The upside of vomiting and eating less was I could give my stomach a break and burned so fat.

A Chinese Ghost Story? A Story That Waste Money more likely...
I'm an easy going person, and I never think so much about a movie during or after watching it. The last show that I condemned was Twilight, coz the actors and actresses have looks no skills.
The new Chinese Ghost Story was just a little bit of winning the loser title from Twilight. It provided a few funny moments, which made not as bad as Twilight.
There were some movies parts knocked off, Pirates of the Caribbean: the villages had tree barks growing all over them. Looked too much like those Davy Jones' crew. Then there were the two snake demons, Green snake and White snake. Of all things, why green and white snakes? CGI not bad, but the fox a bit too fake lah. The female lead as Xiao Qian, innocent looking, but not sexy enough. Ning Cai Chen, what an idiot. Yan Chi Xia, handsome but love moron.
Some parts that I find it ridiculous. If they could be killed easily with the swords, why set up a formation to kill Xiao Qian? Yan Chi Xia asked Ning Cai Chen to free him (he was tied up) so that he could break the formation and save Xiao Qian. The reason he told Ning Cai Chen was only he knew how to break the formation. At this point, I tot there was a need to babble some abracadabra. Then came this side kick who switched off the formation, like a switch. What the? Then it turned out this sidekick was to babble some stuffs, to knock some sense into Yan Chi Xia, for not saving people but saving the demon instead. Blah blah.
It was so boring that I yawned throughout, although I'm not sure whether it was because it was 1am already and I barely had 4 hrs sleep the whole of last week. At the last part, I cried, not because the story was touching but out of boredom.
They tried to bring some signature parts from the old classic, but it looked kinda ridiculous. The song still nice, but totally not matched for this show. The saving grace was some lame jokes and the chief of the village totally stole the scenes with his act seh attitude and his tortoise. I had fun counting the parts which Green Snake had surgery on. Boobs definitely, lips plumped, nose maybe, eyes not sure coz too much eye makeup.
The had to name drop Leslie Cheung at the end during credit. For wat?
Totally not worth the money though, spend it on the old classic dvd instead.

I need clear and specific instructions
Been feeling moody, especially now that I am cleared to go sites. It is suppose to be a happy news, coz going to sites = money. I felt worse, because there's nothing I know if I really go and support them. For the past 2 years in my job, I felt that I am wasting time. Not just because they wasted my time with all these clearance issues, I myself had no idea what to do either.The 2 years could have been utilized well but I did not.
It seemed like ever since I went into this project, all I heard was how scary this project was, I don't know if that indirectly affect my decisions to a lot of things. Heck, my life seemed to go downhill since getting into university. Lousy grade, lousy work, lousy personality.
I know I decide my life myself, but I can't help but feeling all my decisions are lousy. Wouldn't it be better if someone decides for me and so if anything goes wrong, I don't have to shoulder that mistake. Mistakes are a huge burden. They say, "Learn from mistakes", but I never seem to able to. I made more mistakes. Even deciding which queue to join could prove to me how lousy my decision was. I always ended with either the slow auntie or a fussy buyer.
I sort of falling into places now at work, now with my clearance all passed and team lead throwing things for me to do, I should feel valued. Yet, all I could think of was, "No, don't ask me! I dunno!!!" I already have lesser workload and yet I can't churn anything out right.
I used to think I'm good in a lot of things, now I think I sucked at a lot of things. I took MC today not only because I was really sick and weak (damn the doc who scolded me for MC-ing), it was to avoid what I haver to face at work. I seriously don't wanna go to work, not because the work is freaking a lot, it isn't compared to my other colleagues, but because I don't want to do as I dunno if I could do it. Yeap, I'm a runner, I run away from harsh reality.
My last job, I marched right in with overloaded confidence of I know my stuffs, only to be banished to the lowliest level of a lousy support engineer whose technical skills aren't even as good as a newbie. I'm not sure if that really roasted whatever self esteem I may left in myself, I walked right into another job with the mentality I'm lousy and I can't learn tough stuffs coz I have a simple brain which work one way direction only.
"Don't just say ok ok to, prove to me you know how to do. I know you can one" was what my team lead messaged me after he requested to see the tasks by this week. He threw to me like months ago. Saying OK is so much easier than telling him "I not sure if I can complete". At least I will try to complete it since I have a deadline.
I hated going to work during my last job, and now for me is I really dreaded going to work. I felt so useless over there. I don't seem to picking up anything they taught me. And I don't know why. I can't face my boss and team lead without feeling a sense of guilt. I know they covered a lot of shit for me and I truly want to return the favor by showing my capability, but all I did was like making them regret for covering me up. The 3 Ps that my ex boss said I lacked is like finally showing out in full glory. Lack passion, lack pro activeness and very passive.
My post is suppose to be super emo, but it seemed like a joke after reading it. Maybe my life is on e big huge joke, with so many mistakes. Once in a while, I will google "suicidal thoughts/depression during PMS" just to ensure that I am normal to think like that during moody period. I guess, only when I really die, then will I know what cause it. It's either accident or depression.
I'm losing the zest for life.
It seemed like ever since I went into this project, all I heard was how scary this project was, I don't know if that indirectly affect my decisions to a lot of things. Heck, my life seemed to go downhill since getting into university. Lousy grade, lousy work, lousy personality.
I know I decide my life myself, but I can't help but feeling all my decisions are lousy. Wouldn't it be better if someone decides for me and so if anything goes wrong, I don't have to shoulder that mistake. Mistakes are a huge burden.

The stupidest sentence I ever said (adding to the hall of shame)
I was buying my favourite mango cake at Mangoesity yesterday, and the friendly lady, whom I presume is the boss, was striking up a conversation with me. She only asked, "So how did you find our cakes?"
And this is what I replied:
Wah, very nice, super nice. After I ate, I had withdrawal symptoms leh, has a craving for more gelee. It's almost like I had snuffed heroine or something. Very nice! BTW, don't start opening more outlets, k? Coz standards will drop!
Who in the right mind tells a boss who has huge plans for their business not to start more shops?
Me lah!

I am so pissed with myself.
For buying my camera far too early!!!
As a matter of fact, I knew the IT show would have a better offer, but little did I expect them to throw in so many freebies!!!
Sucks sucks sucks.
When I bought my camera in Jan, I received a free camera case, a battery, an 8GB card and free panoramic prints, for $399, $50 cheaper than the usual price.
And the package for the IT show threw in these other than the above mentioned: Sony tripod, another 8GB card and a DVD player, all for $329.
Yeap, you read it right, a free DVD player. And so much cheaper!
I should have know, you know. All along, I had always chose to purchase such gadgets during IT show, I really had no inkling why I made such an impulse buy. Maybe perhaps at that time, I thought the offer was very good already.
Argh...
Update: I forgot to mention, but they also included a screen protector which I bought for $15. -_-|||

I fell in love today...

| Mango Gelee Cake from Mangoesity |
This is by far the BEST mango cake I ever ate!!!
On my first bite, I thought, wow, this mango cake has very nice texture!
On my second bite, the mango slices was filling all my sensory nerves!
On my third bite, I had this warm and fuzzy feeling rushing through my body!
I finished on my fourth mouthful and lamented why did I eat so quickly!?!?!
I was high for the next 5 minutes.
My last 10 minutes was having withdrawal symptoms, craving for the cake.
I was telling my colleagues, that after eating the cake, I had a 幸福的感觉 (feeling of happiness), and when I looked the box later, the tagline was "The sense of bliss"!!!! How true!!! I swear I didn't notice the tagline before I said I was feeling happiness. For a moment I suspected they drugged the cake lor, making me craved for it. During my "five high", I was repeating to my colleagues how nice it was, and how happy I was feeling. Then one of them started to replay my inner struggle: The cake is obviously very nice that's why you didn't share. Or maybe you had wanted to share but you change your mind after the first bite.
Spot on, and I was giggling out of guiltiness.
Apparently, another colleague's gf had eaten before and was addicted like me. And she was pretty pissed off that he had neither brought her back there to eat the cake or buy the cake for her. See, the power of a delicious cake.
My very descriptive colleague said I was mourning for the loss of cake during the time I was having withdrawal symptoms. Ha ha, very funny. And as much as I tried to act cool afterwards, my face already betrayed my feelings: I was ecstatic about the cake.
Oh man... I just wished for a tiny piece now.
I had so much thoughts on my way to work...
and all I could remember was the cut queue incident.
And soggy biscuit.
I'm not going to forgive my colleagues who told me this really disgusting jackass prank among guys and now I have this horrible image stuck in my head.
He further elaborated a female version with red tomato pasta, before lunch. -_-||| and we saw a lady clearing the pad bins coming out from the lift. Double horror!
Argh... disgusting!
