I pass my final theory!!! After so many hurdles & hiccups.1st attempt: booked, but was rejected by the officer as I only brought along the receipt of payment - naively thought they will allow me entrence. My IC was with the car dealer that time to process the car loan.2nd attempt: I booked & forgot to attend.Facing a mega crisis of my engineering program & completely slip it out of my mind. Yes,

Real life evidence that pasture is always greener on the other side: When in Lane 1, you think Lane 2 is moving faster. But once you get on Lane 2, Lane 1 seems to be the smoothest lane!

Recently there is a new push-cart stall being set up at Centrepoint basement. And they are promoting hair equipment; it’s either a curler, or a flat iron that boost amazing technology that won’t “damage your hair”.I’m perfectly fine with this.Except that this push-cart employed some ang-moh guy who doesn’t take “No” as an answer, and he just simply couldn’t believe his ears when you tell him you

The Sunday Times make a report of the aborted foetus.And the fact was greatly disturbing... I wished all these facts were made known to the public earlier. So people will not make abortion the first choice readily.read the story HERE

My latest obsession has been the iphone. Everyday i use it to surf net, check email, access facebook AND loading stuff onto facebook. I check for new applications, played new games...It had just opened my eyes to a new world of mobile technology.So for all of you out there, if you are considering for a new phone - get this!

Grumpy and I had yet another talk on the issues of punctuality.And amidst the arguement, a statement came out..."I had purposedly waited for you to knock off so I can fetch you home. Coz you told me you hated the taxi rides, they make you sick. And you can't rest coz the taxi-uncle keep talking toy you."I haven't count on him to remember such a casual remark. Especially since that I had said this

Isn't my time, TIME?How can I insert the word "PUNCTUAL" into your dictionary?I am just sick to the core...Just when my day is at it's worst, I still have to wait. Forever a 2nd-class citizen. I'm always there for support & care, but all these are always not around when I need it. Only the damn WAIT it around.

It’s not the sight of the big pool of blood on the road that affects me, but the bloody helmet that had dropped to the side of the road and had stopped by the traffic light. It sent shivers down my spine and a dread feeling settled at the pit of my stomach. I worried about the state of the cyclist’s head, since the helmet had flown off such a distance.One side of the motorcycle was totally ruined

Do you ever feel like you just don’t love your spouse anymore?The fact is, love is not dependent on our feelings & emotions. The fact is feelings come & go. None of us always feels intensely romance and loving towards our spouse.In a genuine love relationship, there are times of closeness and caring, but there are also times of distance and disinterest.And worst of all, there are times of apathy

I don’t even know that I am so affected, much more on the reason why.But when he mentioned about thank-you speeches on the way home last night, the sharp pinch I experienced is real. It’s been a month, and I thought I have gotten over it –Apparently not.Is it because he didn’t give credit when it’s due? Or the fact that he CAN lie with a straight face? Or the decision not to tell the truth, and

Level 3 typhoon warning has been hoisted for the whole day. But bring 2 ignorant Singaporeans, we still make our way to the peak. WITHOUT UMBRELLA. After a handkerchief-twisting ride up the hill (the train was going at an incline of 50 degree!), we both made it up there. The wind was so scary I have problem standing firmly on my two feet. I'll let the picture do the talking... Not all bad things

It's the Shopping at the Central today. So needless to say, the card suffered.The Summer-sale here put GSS to shame. Everything was going at 50-70% off! pow that's what I called a decent sale. 20-30% is nothing much really.And the suduction of 40%-off Prada items made us brave, taking a bus to HK's residential area to Prada factory outlet. The bus ride was a nerve-breaking 30+ min. But our lucky

Thanks to the "perfect weather for photo-taking", I now have a permenent T-shirt imprint on my body.Talking about souvenirs! :(Luckily, there's always another side of the coin, and that will be the mouth-dropping scenery from on top the cable car.

We walked the whole of today!!Scavenging the whole of Mongkok for Fancl House. Only to realised we got the instruction wrong. All the passerbys we asked for directions told us the same thing - the shop is in the train station (火车站）but we had circled Mongkok MTR station for several round and had not spotted it.It is actually at the Grand Central Plaza, the choo-choo train station, not modern train

If one hasn’t notice, I’m a fan of the “Focus on the Family” column in TODAY paper, which I get to read from the office. Today’s article is called “Look in the mirror” and it had strung an emo-cord in me… -sniff-Do you want to see what kind of men & women your children will grow up to be? Take a look into the mirror.A wise man once said, “The foot-steps a child follows are often those that the

Marriages that thrive are those where both husband & wife develop a servant mentality, looking for ways to meet each other’s needs.It doesn’t take a big expansive gift to thrill your mate.Just noticing what she needs & being willing to step in and help goes a long way towards making her life easier.Don’t wait for her to ask before helping around the house. Take time to make the bed, or put in a

Is such a disappointment.The story line doesn’t make sense – why is the father so much younger than the John Conner? My colleague said you have to watch the John Conner serial in order to understand.My point is - if the viewer has to do that, obviously it has failed being a movie. It’s more like a sequel to the serial.

I have not been using my Tivoli for some time. So yesterday, I dig it up to use, since I now want to bring a novel with me on train trip.While I was sitting by the bed clearing the bag for usage, I took out a stack of bill that i brought to the office the other time to clear and place it on the bed, ready to throw it away. Part of it poked Yoyo's leg. Irritated, she kicked the bills away and it

So it seems, Meimei is having a phobia of the pee-tray now. According to eye-witness (Mum), she was pooing a few days earlier, and the poo got stuck. How the poo got stuck, it’s due to the wonderful digestive system. When Meimei ingested hair accidentally, it got processed and come out with poo, but hair, being just a thread, will not get pull out entirely by the poo. So the result is… the poo is

Meimei had a spanking today.It’s been ages since I really raise my hand at her. It pains me, but what had to be, has to be done.Every morning, after I have changed & make-uped, I’ll have a cuddle with her before carrying her out to the living room. Out, she will say “Good Morning” to her teddy before heading to the kitchen to pee and wait for her morning treat.This morning, I didn’t carry her to

It looked like the strong gust of wind last night swept through the whole of Singapore. The Westerners (Jurong), Northerners (Woodlands/Yishun), Easterners (Tampines) and Southerners (Bukit Ho Swee) all experience it.For myself, I was doing the laundry when it struck. Suddenly I saw dried leaves flying outside my 12-floor kitchen windows, twister-style. Looking up, the whole sky was red in colour

I know it! it must be the slight shadow of facial hair that I’ve always got a thing for…I find him very attractive. Go watch it, girls. You all know I’m not a fan of chick-flicks.

Another episode that emphasize the poor fate of dogs.They can’t tell you that they are in pain; they can’t tell you that they are suffering. All they have is the faith & trust in you that you can make everything right again.But how many owners actually show enough attention to notice something is wrong? How many owners will not care about the money and just focus on getting their dogs healthy &

The sequence is all wrong.The correct order should be:1 – Hit the club2 – Order shots or order drinks and drown it all down3 – Get high4 – Hit the dance floor & dance the high away5 – Go home soberBut Saturday at St. James turn out otherwise.1 – Hit the clubBut there wasn’t much crowded, which lead to no mood to dance.

THEN, 1970sThe government encouraged couples to “stop at 2”. I am sure the advertisements of children sharing the food – the more children, the less food each gets – are still etched in most baby boomers’ mind.NOW, 2009The government is encouraging couple to “not stop at 2”, the more the merrier, baby bonus increase with direct relations to the no. of kids you have.THEN, 1970sGovernment

A lot of people had been asking me on the “new marriage life". Well being co-habiting for past 5 years had not made the marriage life “new” but “legal”.But talking on marriage life, I think the greatest assurance & happiness that one can have being married is that you start and end your day (and everyday from then on) with the love of your life.

Standing up there on the stage, trembling, face-to-face with 170+ colleagues that had turned up for the annual D&D, I could feel my legs slowly went weak... my smile was frozen on my face in an awkward manner (I think!) and I am so afraid my 4-inch stilettos would give way on the stage.Did I mention I was trembling? Just how the hell did I end up here!?As the emcee called out the names that were

He is loud, seeking every opportunity to be heard.Including irrelevant stuff to the discussion and confusing everyone, making senseless comments. When there is nothing to say, he make wierd noise so everyone in the meeting will know he is there.He is a classic model for people to use this line:-"Can someone shove a c*** into his damn mouth? He's too noisy!"

An exclusive Prudential event, I am truly impressed.Guests were treated to champagne, sweet treats like pastries & chocolates throughout your whole shopping experience. There was also the SANTA (early christmas?) and a magician who will perform randomly, sometimes getting the shoppers to assist... and ended up being surprised!A very unique experience as every Robinsons sale resemble a war zone,

I was back at my Granny's, a very green house with green gates, green door and window grills. In this house there was a black cat and I hate it, coz she will always bully my Princess.Then I heard the all-familiar half-growl-half-meow sound, and a hiss. I quickly went over to the living room to look for Yoyo. I only saw the cat, in one corner, hissing away. Was it my imagination, or was there

Juggling has been proven to sharpen the mind for more quick & precise decision-making. It trains the mind to multi-task and improve the hand-eye coordination. It reduces stress, and is fun (if you allows it).in short, it's supposed to turn you into a super-being, or something along that line.That's the new mission given to all the staff, we are to master the art of juggling, in 3 months.Believe

We are considered the "DINKYS" Dual income, no kids yet...Grumpy: DINKYS?.

Going Bangkok had been a yearly affair, but still, it holds much excitment for me. On this trip, we had tried a new hotel - Baiyoke Boutique Hotel. It's cheap, clean & comfortable, but it still have some way to go towards lavish. The decor within the hotel is modern & nice, but not of the top quality which we were used to. In fact, in the room, it reminds you of a normal HDB flat. The lobby:A

Is "You Only Live Once, Don't Live to Regret"It is this thinking that had set me on a different path from most people. I was being labelled "Rebellious" by my mum since a very young age, but that is because I stand by what I believe. When I get older, the labelled was changed to "Stubborn", cause I'll make my own decision, ignoring her rantings (and nagging).The first major decision I had made,

Yes, after the 2-year long wait, it's finally happening. :)Last Sunday, 16th March 2007, we attended a Wedding Fair by Carlton Hotel.It's there, I signed my wedding package from La belle Couture.In case you are wondering, here's the stuff. It's definitely not the cheapest in the market, nor is it the grandest. So far, the feeling

I hate the birthday celebrations in my office, they are so surface, insincere & SOP.Once the birthday song is over, the whole department will wack the food, leaving the birthday boy/girl to distribute the birthday cake. The time taken to distribute the cakes is the same for the people to finish up the most popular/delicious food. So by the time you are done distributing, you will be left with the

Every few months, the itch for SV stuff will creep onto me. And you will find me surfing feverishly on their website.Now, there's finally a channel to get the clothes! Saw this, love it to bits.But I think it's too risky to buy, just from this picture (with the model in sitting position) it is impossible to get a full view of the dress. I can't feel the material, thus, I won't know if the quality

Just like the splinter in the thumb, it's too small to cause any damage, or draw any blood.But it just drives you nuts with the annoying pain.丑人多做怪, it can't hold more truth than this.

I have received all the pictures!! And it seems like, if I'm going to go by day, I will have to keep posting till 2009, I'm going to shortlist, and post a few of my favorite!At the "secret bag shop", accompanying my colleague for their spree. The night scenery of Shanghai, marve-marvellous! Group dinner, by my ex-coll's client. he's some Operation Director in Shanghai, automobile company. Name?

Day 1: Shanghai, -2DegThe cold air hit upon my face like a block of wood the moment I step out of the plane. I'm amazed that there are air-port still using the "bus to terminal" service. And I'm not the only one, there's two ladies from Singapore who were just wearing T-shirt & pants, thinking the air-port should tunnels to terminal, and a heater to keep the travellors warm. Wrong twice.Well, the

Our Director has been very generous, to plan a early Christmans feast for the whole sales team.The feast, consisting of KFC, and Pizzas. The official door bitch, Director's PA Everyone, pigging out... Door gifts for everyone! Door gifts = Happy people CHEERS! And presenting, our very kind & generous host (No, i'm not bootlicking) He's really the nicest boss around, throughout my 5months here,

The Program Director of the University of South Australia, who is also my program's Program Director, was in town to do the induction on the Orientation. Together with him, is a senior lecturer as well.They are very nice people to work with. :) I'm so looking forward to their next trip already!

It all started with just one bout of diarrhoea when I wake up. It caught me by surprise, as I did not experience any discomfort, thinking it's the "cleaning" from the Organic Aloe-Vera drink my mum made me drink the night before, I didn't think much of it.By the time I was leaving home, the number increased to three. Still, I felt ok enough to go to work. Just to be safe, I went to Pharmacy to

I'm finally out, a big rock lifted from my chest. I sleep better, eat better & feel better.My student had officially finished her end-of-year exams.Now, I can put my focus on next week's event - jud's & amelia's wedding. They are just a day apart, and for both, I don't know how I ended up with the main co-ordinator role. Sigh. Well, so end up I'll not be at home the next weekend. Will be at Jud's

Human's learning process is a never-ending route. Especially when it comes to human interaction. I'm surprise the learning cycle for me & Grumpy hit a RESET button.But it's not back to square one, but rather, a new learning process on a higher level. Like how you graduate from high school & enter the University. It's a whole new environment, learning the same thing, but on a whole new level. It's

Saturday was the first time I saw Grumpy so high, he couldn’t walk straight (although he insist he can, but that’s what every drunkard said) he’s frowning & grumping & puking. Well, at least for the last part, it’s not so bad; he still able to clean up after himself. And that, is a big deal for me. But the funny thing is, after being so high, he still can puke with care, as he just wash the whole

Just finish the cartoon. And it triggers this post.In many ways, Remy & I are very much alike. We love fooood. Not the everyday plain bread & butter kinda food (That's Gabbage!!!) but good food, delicious food that's worthy of our tastebud. And we love combining food to create our own unique taste. Think french fries with vanilla ice-cream, tomato and cheese... Hmmmm....Food has always been my

I have so much stuff to blog. About my little brother, about work, about Grumpy, about me.But there's just too little time.Wanted to blog how my little brother had suddenly become a man overnight, me being tearful knowing that (I don't know why, what happened to the cry-male-baby?). Wanted to complained & grant about work & all the shit stuff. Wanted to report the wedding preparation for Jud..

A lot of people ask me why I choose to tie the knot so early. I haven't seen the World, have the fun, or have my fair share of men (to put it this way)..But my theory is, I don't want to walk through life only to find later that The One is actually the one I had left behind years ago. By then, he could be having his family.. moving on without me. And I could be still where I am, with herpes. I do

Quote of the Day:"These are just issues, the problem is you"J finally resigned...Was is those unsolved issue? Or was it the 6 rounds of talking to by our poor managers? Or maybe it's those complain letters by students? The not-friendly-to-her environment?No matter what it is. Alot of people are happy, and that's such a pathetic thing..

She just woke up one day to find herself unable to stand up, my Aunt, panicked, called for the ambulance.Her hip bone had cracked. Due to impact from don't-know-when.Now, after the operation to nail her bones together, she has to be kept in a home,

J had been breaking down frequently now.Guess there's a limit to everyone. Hers & everyone else.Now everyone just scream at her to get things across, and her-crying.Kinda poor thing, but if you are in the picture, it'll look natural.

I have a new colleague. Let's call her J. (I have 9 colleagues whose name start with "J" in our 15-men team. Not counting me & the other girl, who's the support.)Initially, I found her very poor thing, as it seems like the whole team was rather impatient with her. And it's kinda obvious that she couldn't gel with the people there, and stick out like sore thumb. Her dressing, the way she talk..

-Environment (checked)-People (checked)-Job scope (checked)-Superior (checked, ok, except for one)-Culture (checked)So far so good. I like what I see, but it's still too early to say anything. So I'm still keeping an open mind.But have a feeling that there's danger in the air. Danger of getting FAT!So many dinners & luncheon, plus the snacks passing around.NOOOOOOO!!!!!!
