Aftermath
Of the chocolaty trip--Sick

Now, I've finally give in, and see a doctor. I can't talk properly now, as my throat is full of sticky phlegm. It's so annoying, it made me clear my throat like, every 5 seconds.

Spent the whole of yesterday mopping in the house, the medication made me groggy, worse part was, the more I sleep, the more groggy i became... Urgh, the vicious cycle. I long to go out into the sun to play, to breathe in effortlessly.

The only good thing that came out of it was the company of Yoyo & Hubby. It's been so long since I keep her company for a full day. Yes, I'm deeply ashamed & guilty. Sometimes I wonder if she's going crazy being shut up in the house the whole day, With nothing to do.. Poor girl.

And credit to Hubby too. Though all he did was to force medicine on me, then sleep himself (4-hour straight!) but I guess it's the thoughts that counts... We haven't been successful plying out elements of our jobs in our conversation ever since he joined me in the company. But yesterday, we managed to converse without getting work in the way, and it's kinda refreshing. =) Like way back in school days...

Well, it's back to work today. With the usual mountainous workload, and a irritating colleague... with a throat full of phlegm. 5/31/2005 11:53:00 AM

Chocolate = Food for Love?
It did much more for three of us... On Elyna's Birthday Bash...
-It took Mel's voice away (again)
-But cure Ely's sore throat (!?)
-Give me a MC today (yay!)

Now you see it...


Now you don't!

It's sooo yummy, you just can't get enough...
With just S$20, you not only get 3 choices of chocolate -- dark, milk and hazelnut. On top of that, ginger bread, mashmallow, bananas & strawberries! We ordered another serving of ice-cream to complete the picture. Now who can resist this!

-mental note to self: I shall diet diet diet-
Anyway, we also ordered another chocolate specialty -- Milk Suckao
How does it work?
Okay, the "pot" have a candle underneath it. First, you pour in the milk, and hold your breathe while the milk get heated up, then, scoop the chocolate chips into the milk and stir... Viola! Hot steamy chocolate milk drink transformed! The scoop double up as a straw as well. Hmm....
-mental note to self: Shall diet diet diet + skip dinner + 100 skipping every night!-

Well, where did I go?






HERE! Esplanade #1.. I forgotten the name of the shop next to it. But it's near the pushcarts.

Go on, try it. It send you into a choco-fenzy, screaming More, More!!!

Parting shot:
A sunflower for a sunny girl...

Holiday
The Bintan Episode




I'm so afraid of taking leave from work. Just 2 days (tuesday & wednesday) and my workload is frightening.. It's taller than me! They scream "We'll bury you alive!!!" Ok, just my imagination.

Some people might say, "Hey, why do you go to the same place year after year? Try other places lah, like Bali (scare bomb), Phuket (scare tsunami) or.. some say Batam (Scare PCK)"

I beg to differ, this trip, although all things remain the same (breakfast, the kelong food, buzzy television program...) we discovered so much more from Bintan.

~ We now know that all resort are intergreted, if you stay at Nirwana, you can go for suana at other resort (I had forgotten the name)
~ We can forget about snorkeling, 3 small fishes are enough to frighten the hell out of us
~ I can now proudly claim that i can drive a buggy car, although the trip send Ely screaming outta her skin, and chase me to the passenger seat... BUT, I'm a better driver than Mel. At least, I don't e-brake to send everybody flying off.
~ We paddle out to sea, all on our own... But all so frightened. But no one is admitting it.
~ We make ourselves the clown with party hats, and had so much fun!
~ We know how to play mahjong with just 3 person, and 7 pieces of playing cards. Genius! I won $$! =D

This trip was so much fun, it totally wear us out. With Mel & me falling sick... But hey, it's worth every penny.

I love u girls.
And Happy Birthday, Ely. You're a big girl now! *muack!*

There's so much pictures taken. But, not on my side.. It's all on Mel's cammy. Wait till I get hold of it, it hold so much yummy stuff!
Wait till you see the pics of seafood, and paddle boat and buggy car and so much more!

Hold your breathe everyone!! 5/27/2005 05:06:00 PM

Mood: Holiday, A Happy Day
So much good thing, I'm beginning to think if it's all real

-Giggle & dance-

Well, while people are looking forward to the long weekend, I have so much more:

First, irritating colleague is having her 1/2-day leave for wed & thur, then FULL-DAY today. It feel like heaven in the office! Lalala~ I don't mind more workload, and are more than happy to get the load in exchange for her NOT in the office to breathe down my neck & irritate the hell outta me all the time. Yay!

Second, on top of a very pack & long weekend to enjoy, I've got a Bintan trip at the end of it. Going on Monday, coming back on Wednesday. Yay yay! Bye everyone! *waving frantically*

Third, even as i come back to my workstation & irritating colleague is around, I only need to see the irritating face for.... 2 more days!! And for that 2 days, I'll be busy like hell & running about in the preparation of my company's mega event, featuring Adam Khoo, the youngest millionaire In Singapore. Can you believe it, he's only 26 when he made his first million! Insane! Unbelievable!

The fact that he made it through doing business and not by offering his backside (if you know what I mean) add to the unbelievable factor...

-Sigh-
As usual, this kinda guy is snapped up even before he hit the market. Bleah! Married to a insurance/property agent & living in a nice property, I don't blame you for turning green..

Back to topic, where was I? Oh right, ya, work for2 more days, and it's weekend all over again!!! Yay yay yay!!!

Oh, and did I mention my payday is on 26th? Yay yay yay yay!!

Now what can beat all these?
There's a spring in my every step, can you see it? ;)


Nice blueberry waffles anyone? I miss it!

Breathe In... ZAP!!!
And it's all gone now. I feel like a little girl... *blush*

But all these came with a price. Coz it's not one zap, but 7 mega one (With one sending me giddy in pain on that "dentist chair"(whatever you call it) and countless little one...

Now, don't you think that I'm those girls that scream at the slightest feel of pain, my threshold is quite strong. That's why when i was having Sakae sushi with Mel before my appointment, I was nervous, but confident that I'll go through it all without a sweat. Thinking, I've got my tattoo, what could be more painful than that?

Boy I was wrong.
First, I must tell you. My love & confident for my tattoo artist increase by ten-fold overnight. Everybody out there, if you wanna get a tattoo, go to Johnny2thumbs at Far East Plaza and look for Richard Yap. My hero!! It's not painful AT ALL.
Second, the "Zap" was 3 times painer...

My nightmare started the moment my theraphist started work, asking general question (that eventually lead to sales pitch) on my relevant experience... After the whole conversation, -I don't know is it that I flatly end every salestalk (I hate it)- she concluded that for my case, there would be more pain, and i must be mentally prepared for it.

Suddenly, I just wanna leave..... Help!

But well, I live through it all. With only one zap that nearly send me screaming for mummy.
That's for my XXXXstrip.



My second tatto design... Help me persuade Hubby please... He keep saying I'm addicted! I'm not! 5/19/2005 09:58:00 AM

Greener Fields
One more down.

Seeking greener pastures.

Employee turnover happened in every company. So why am I so affected by the most recent drop out? Are there really greener pasture out there? Or, are they, in the process of seeking greener pasture, did not realise that their pasture was a rich shade of green?

Am I blind to the obvious, or they overlook my view?

Maybe, it's because those who are close to me had ALL drop out. That's why...
Can I see the light at the end of the tunnel?

Give me the strength to hold on....

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Sitting around... Nothing to do....

What's that?! Oh my! Can I have one?

Yay!! Thank you, mummy!! 5/17/2005 09:32:00 AM

Finally, after 4 long years...
Start of course: Somewhere in year 2000
End of course: 14th May 2005

I took 4 years to learn cycling. You can't blame me, as i had only 2 lesson:
first was when i had a class gathering @ Sembawang Beach/Park, my classmate, Sayling -now known as Jennifer- took pity on me (everybody went cycling except me, left behind to tend the BBQ pit) and taught me. Second time was said date.

After screaming for half a day, a trip down the drain, nearly hitting half a dozen people, a split tyre after hitting a tree (And pay $8 for a new tyre), and a bloody knee, I could cycle. But only in straight line.

Please don't laugh, you don't know how it feels like...
It's as if you are hanging in mid-air, not coming down, can't go up!

And I didn't dare to cycle for the next 4years. Cause I couldn't seem to find a road that goes straight all the way. Duh.

Till last Saturday.
While in the bus to the Pasir Ris chalet, I awoke from my dream & announced to Hubby that I wanted to finish my cycling course TODAY. It's time I finsh what I started.

So against all wishes & a worried Hubby, that I took a "Twin-bicycle" (It's for babies! And I'm NOT. Bleah!) I insisted on a single.

When I got the bike (we rented it overnight) I'm quite relunctant to get on it. Many thoughts flashed through my mind.. What if, after so long, I've forgotten how to cycle in straight line as well? Then how to follow all my friends for mid-night cycling? What happen if I couldn't learn how to turn after all? My feet turn cold...

But, mind thinking was one thing, reality was another. I still hoped onto the bike, and started peddling naturally. Yay!! I remained in the clouds till the curve came into view, and panic set in..

WTF, just go!! With that, i tried to conquer..... *E-brake* I was throw off my seat, at the edge of the curve...

-Sigh-

But later, with alot of encouragement from all my friends, and my 2 guardian angels, Hubby & steven (they cycled behind me all the way, just so that they could look out for me *touch*) I made it! I cycled the whole 2hours with the whole group till the stupid rain came... urgh!

And now I'm hooked!!
So guys, when's the next bicycle trip?!
I don't wanna wait so long!! Wait I forget how?
How about 29th? I'm free that day!!! Date me!!! 5/16/2005 04:07:00 PM

Birds & Bees Story
Student: Teacher, I don't understand my Science.. *Digging through the bag*
Me: Okay, i'll go through with you

-Textbook found & opened to the said page-

Student: See, the teacher said, when the sperm & egg meet, fertilisation takes place & baby is formed.
Me: (Stunned, turnback the page to find "Chp 6: Human Reproductiv System *Horror*) Oh....
Student: Teachers in school are so wierd, they only say meet, but how they meet? One is inside man's body, another inside women's body.... Then when I ask, the teacher ignore me!
Me: (cursing the teacher silently) *clear throat* Let me think about this...

Damn all teachers to teach Primary 5 Science without answering students' question. I felt like a trapped animal. There was an awkward silence as my student waited expectedly for my answer. I don't know where to start, I can imagine 10 years down the road, and my own children asking me this question. Will I be able to tell my kids how their dad fuck me? I think it will freak them out, and daddy, from then on, will be the monster in the house. Talking about sex education... Duh.

Anyway, my answer to my student's question is --
When the man's penis & women's viginal meets, sperm will be able to travel from the men's body to the women's. (see how professional it is?)

-Blank expression from my student-
"What's a penis, and what's a vaginal?"

(-__-")

Okay, again, in layman's (i mean kid) term.
When the boy's "coocoobird" touch girl's private part, the sperm can swim over to the girl's body. When the sperm & egg fuse, fertilisation occured. And cell will be formed, then multiply, and forming the foetus. (Whew!)


My student let out an audible gasp, with a look of pure horror in her eyes.
Then how? I'm going to get pregnant!! -For a moment, i thought she's been sexually abuse without knowing it- When I sleep with papa, sometimes will accidentally touch! (seriously, i don't need to know this)

Me: But both you & papa are fully clothes right? (testing water)
Student: Ya
Me: Then it won't happen. Cause the clothes pose as obstacles to stop the sperm mah.
Student: Wa, teacher you frighten me ah...

Seriously, i feel like knocking out my student then go home & sleep. It's not my fault that she gets frightened by what I say. I'm just crossing my finger that the Science mid-year paper don't concentrate on this topic. If not, alot of students is going to fail.

Me: That's why, you must be sure that no one touches you down there. If there is, you must tell mummy. Because that person is committing an offence, it's something wrong. And that person must be lock up, in case he hurt some more kid.
Student: ok.

What a difficult class!!
My first sex education class. 5/13/2005 11:26:00 AM

I'm so Good, I'm a GURU!
Now everybody, this blog is full of praises for... Me, Me, Me (thank you *bow*)

Boy! I'm so proud of myself!
Come closer, if you look hard enough, you'd realise that my skin is changed. Ya, it's too pink, you'd say. But it's NEAT. At least all the posts are on one side, and navigation on another. Then there is my favourite marquee, showing snapshots of my simple life... Oh, and there's nothing wrong with pink too. I like pink! (And green, purple, red & black. Now you know)

The most important part is....
I build this skin ALL BY MYSELF. From scratch, with nothing but Microsoft Frontpage, and my knowledge of html from private limited (meaning limited lah)

Hail me!!

Okay okay, so the background is a loot from www.blogskins.com, but without my skills, I still can't use it! So, praise me! Generously please!!!

Let me indulge in this self-obssession, when I'm done, I shall tell u an incident that happened on Wednesday, while I was giving tuition class to my student.

Hail me!!! 5/12/2005 11:24:00 PM

Blogger's Block
Is there any cure?

New find -- Mr Miyagi
Ultra cool read. Spare a minute for this. It's worth it.
Like the writer of this blog, no air. Despite being very famous...
I give it -- FOUR thumbup!

Guess what, i have like a lorry-ful (ok, camera-ful) of pictures which i should upload, but too restless (read: lazy) to do so...

I wish I wish...
That i have a magic camera that will upload on its own...
On top of my all-time top wish -- a magic purse that hold CASH, cannot be emptied kind.

That's all folks. Be content. 5/11/2005 04:41:00 PM

Information Overload
I must be really lucky.

All around me, problems regarding relationship keep coming up. It's like an opened dam, and it's frightening. Maintaining a relationship is never easy. There's this sensitive balance which must be kept level at all times, if not, one would be placing the relationship on a rocky patch. (Hence my previous "Am I too Sensitive?" post)

-Since I'm on that-
For all concerning friends, my post do yield a certain amount of action. Not that he didn't know the problem exist, just that being men, they would wait till it can't be put off any longer, then lift their butts to fight the fire.

Thank you for all comments.
I'm very touched to know that so many people were expecting a happy ending for us.

I hope I won't disappoint any of you


Just learnt that another of my friend had just regained singlehood, not in a nice way though (Bah, no parting is nice, just ignore me). Sometimes people acted without thinking in the long run, thus hurting close-ones along the way. There were also some people who thought they could have the best of both world, i couldn't know better. Coz that's the precise reason why I chose to end my previous relationship.


-Sigh-
Where is the fairy-tale ending that we grow up listening to?
Actually, we should ban children from listening to fairy tales, I think it will bring more harm than good. 5/10/2005 11:10:00 AM

Frying an Overnight Dish
It's strange how human always choose to harp on things/incidents that irritate the hell outta them.

Like example, you have a damn irritaing/bitchy/back-stabbing (plus all the negative thingy) colleague. No matter how you force yourself NOT to take notice of the thing she do, you can't. And she will successfully continue to irritate the hell outta you. It's a vicious cycle that can easily be stop, if you can overlook the old whale, which is hard. Considering the large surface area.... *pause* ok, i won't be mean here.


-Sigh-
Easier said than done. (That's why i psycho myself with the same theory like ten times a day within the 8hrs spent in my office, coz it's easier to be talking :P)

But thinking back, it's not just me...
...Like if you get a yucky in-law, their every small move will irk you. (Like how they always leave the toilet seat down, and you can even see drops of yellowish liquid on them *disgusted*, they are actually "Mama Lemon liquid soap" Do you believe? I don't think so...)

...Like if you hate the teacher, no matter what he/she teaches, it make no sense to you. (He/She will be forever talking crap, or alien language that no one understand)

...Like if get a boss from hell, he/she will never be satisfied with you, and you will always think he/she is out to get you. (Like treating you as the stepping stone to that promotion)

...Like if you have a inconsiderate neighbour, small mistake will be magnify into something serious (Ya, and in the end, you lose your mind, and imagine them to be making sexual signal to you, and you shine them with spotlight, and show-off with diamonds.. Call the TV crew.. The list can go on! It's endless!)

See? If only we can control our emotions like a remote control... -Teet!- Erase the memory. -Teet- Switch to "ignore the barbaric/bitch/crazy-ass" mode. -Teet- Proceed to "happily ignoring" mode.

Our life will be better, we will be happier, and this World will be a mush better place.

But it will be damn boring isn't it? 5/05/2005 11:06:00 PM

Am I Too sensitive?
Or men are to dumb to notice?

Gone were the days where "I miss you" messages dotted the days. And the "what you doing now" phone calls. No more thoughts of leaving food as in case I wanna eat, it's "if you want, you'll just take mah". No more getting excited about eating new food and showing off just to get you mad. No more "wanna wake up with you", but soccer or tennis coz "it's a break from work" And sometimes, not even a sound till the nightly routined call.

The sparks is definitely gone. After 4 long years.
I feel like being taken for granted, and felt neglected.

I do admit that our lifestyle had definitely changed, and I know you are stressed up coz you are running for THE promotion this year. I tried to be understanding, but it seems so hard to draw a clear line between work & leisure now.

I'm starting to get more & more independent, and I could feel the way I feel many years ago, which spell danger.

Still don't get the picture?
The more independent I am, the more I can stand on my own. Then..where's your place?

I know this post will yield alot of shock & concern, but no, things are not so bad that one can see the end coming. It's just some hiccups that need some maintenance to be done. Just a matter of whether the worker has the time to fix it.

Am I being too unreasonable, maybe.
Am I being too difficult, maybe.

Or maybe a little absence might do some good. Hmm... I'm looking forward to the Bintan already. 5/04/2005 03:34:00 PM

Nightmare
After a frightful nightmare of a fatso (Don't misquote me, i have nothing against fat-people. Unless they are chasing me) trying to force me into marrying him. Chasing me with a bicycle, i hoped on another bicycle and fled. In my dream, I could cycle, straight road or curve, as free as wind. In fact, I would have enjoy myself, if I'm not being persued. The Fat-one chased me through a few streets, into a market, until it began to rain. There's no way to shake him off... And I'm filled to the brim with frustration....


Then the alarm came to my rescue. -Whew-


And wake up to -- PUFFY EYES.


Must be due to my rubbing last night before i sleep. But it's so itchy, it's hard not to rub. At first i thought i had sore eyes, coz i couldn't open my eyes. Then I realised it's two eyes. You can't have sore eyes in two eyes at a time. (Can I?)


Out came the chilli sauce. They are my savour.
Right up to my secondary school days, i had a habit of rubbing my eyes before i sleep, thus the puffy eyes when i wake. I read up from beauty magazines that tea-bags work wonders for puffy eyes, so, there was a time i made sure i had two cups of tea, so that i'd have two tea-bags for my eyes..

Then one day, my mother accidentally threw away my tea-bags. And that's a whole day of tea-drinking effort gone. Desperate for my puffy eyes to go away, I used chilli sauce in those little packets, which they used to give out at McDonald's.

Surprise!! It works as well, if not as good.
From then on, out went the tea-bags. And hello to small packet chilli sauce. Anyway, back to today, I used the chilli-packs again. It's been some time, as i've since forced myself to quit rubbing my eyes before my bedtime (By putting medicated oil on my hands before i sleep. I know it sounds perverted, but it works. So keep all the "Eeek" & "Yucks" to yourself.) and it works still the same. :)

So here's a beauty tip for you.. 5/03/2005 05:41:00 PM
