peeling nose

31 08 2008

 

i was juz telling marie tat her nose is beli dry and peeling when i noticed tat my nose was peeling too while on the way back from comtech

omg!  dun tell mi the intensive moisturiser i put on my nose day & nite is still not enuff?

and i thot i m using way too many products on my face tat i haf to change from day to day juz so tat i get to use all the products.  no, i can’t imagine layering on everything, products overload

sweet potato powder

31 08 2008

 

seems to haf gone up in price!  it’s $31 nw.  i rem it to b $20 plus, mayb $21 or $23 when i last bought

anyway, though i made a detour on fri juz to get it, i decided against it

y m i paying so much for korean brands when so many other brands in the mkt?

so i went to robinsons and tested a few pressed powders.  for mi, the key thing is, mi is not going back to 2 way cake which is reli bad for my skin

in the end, i fell in luv wif the bourgois one.  onli $19.60 after 20% discount, wat a steal !  i luv the name of the shade i got too, sable rose

and the case is beli pretty,  yes, mi is superficial, packaging matters a lot to mi

i tried the best seller aloe bb cream from skinfood.   i tink the foundation is too thick for my liking.  especially after my toner, moisturiser, surface optimising cream and sunblock.  so end of bb cream for mi

i oso tested benetint and posie tint from benefit.  luv the packaging and names of their products, truly ingenious.  the tint is reli natural.  and one bottle is supposed to last 8 mths….wow!  but it’s $62 in sg and hkd280 from sasa so cheaper to buy from hk.  i tink it’s USD28, even cheaper from states so mayb i can order online next time.  next time coz i still haf 2 new CG rose silk which is my all time fav rouge

i need more lipstick, from rmk…hehe…luv the shine and texture and smell of tis brand

beansprouts kiddos

29 08 2008

 

QQ has grown 3 cm within the past 2 mths.  wow~!

since we took dwn YY’s height chart for repainting 5 yrs back, i haben been actively tracking their height

one day in jul, we decided to mark their heights on the doorframe

when i measured QQ tdy, she has grown a full 3 cm…reli like dao gei sprouting up, skinny and tall

even YY has grown taller from his previous height of my underarms…hehe…gross rite





yapper

29 08 2008

 

yes the misspelling is deliberate coz i dun wana generate more leads for the actual site

i was searching online after the spa scare and saw some complaints abt it on yapper

good thing i used my skip tracing skills and managed to find their new branch as well as make an appt for the next day

i haf posted the tel of the branch for reference by others

den i did a review of rustic and my review got rejected by the admin

wah liew, since when do my views haf to b censored?   and it was all good

pui ~  i can post my own reviews on my own blog.   stoopid yapper





spa scare

29 08 2008

 

mi got a new spa package when they were able to match my rustic package and better it

onli been there a couple of times since coz i thot the location was central and great when i signed up till i started driving

parking and erp charges put mi off going to town

when i tried calling for an appt tis wk, the calls went unanswered for days.   mi got worries tat it has closed dwn

so i skip traced other divisions of the establishment and was given the tel of their new branch at cuppage

mi is cut out to b a collector, tis kinda small matter do not daunt mi

i got an appt the next morn and was pleasantly surprised by the new branch

though most of the rooms were not ready yet, i got a preview of the couple/VIP room

it comes wif a hydrobath tub for 2 and glass shower cubicle, the room is big and cozy.  perfect for relaxation.  the new place is supposed to haf 20+ rooms when ready next mth.

the massage was great, as usual.  i tink the facilities and services is of higher quality den rustic.  the towels r warm, the massage bed is heated, the room comes wif hydrobath tub and inbuilt shower cubicle.  my room even haf a walk-in wardrobe wif shower cubicle and full length mirror

and all these comes at a lower price den rustic

i shall use my package more diligently tis time, at least on a mthly basis

so folks, dun fret, the tel of true spa’s new branch at cuppage is 62359555 and u see it here first.  their website is not updated wif details of tis branch, probably since it’s not ready yet though i saw lotsa therapists walking ard

and the irony is, it’s located at the same row of shophouses as rustic…mayb i should use my rustic package here too.  cantonment is abit out of the way to get to from office, unless i got direct bus next time





decluttering

29 08 2008

 

there is an article of wardrobe springcleaning in elle

the writer went to a personal shopper and did the extreme of clearing out her ENTIRE wardrobe

her newly functional wardrobe has onli 20 pieces

$ not enuff 2

29 08 2008

 

whole family watched liao

kerri’s first movie and she was so well behaved !

watching intently at the beginning den slept soundly halfway during the show coz we caught the 10pm one

the theme is more abt the social prob of elderly care and the situations where one haf to make a choice bet children, parents and lifestyle.  good idea to watch wif kiddos

very sad yet very touching

and YY enjoyed it a lot

the storyline is not spectacular but it’s nice to see a lot of everyday situations captured eg. youngsters not speaking mandarin, the sms culture etc

wow! impressed sia~!





log

27 08 2008

i realised tat the last time i used bro’s old lappy was when i was dwn sick and left my adaptor at a client’s

it’s funny how events r interlinked

i did my exit questionaire tdy and one of the qn asked was how long ago did i consider leaving the company

i wrote 25th jun den realised tat it’s multiple choice so i picked 1-2 mths ago

from the time i first entertained thots of leaving to now, tat i haf taken the plunge…haha…isn’t it amazing how seemingly unrelated things/events can be so inter-linked!





elle

27 08 2008

karen beli sweetly got mi the elle issue wif lotsa goodies, got fruit jellies, 2 elle pouches and a waterproof tote, all beli useful coz i was juz complaining tat YY didn’t check his bottle cap which leaker water into my ikea carryall

i had a quick flip thru the mag but doesn’t look interesting

and i was hoping it’ll occupy mi while i get my car serviced





eye masks and YY

27 08 2008

i gave YY 2 pieces of my eye masks for his panda eyes coz tis boy always sleep so late, he’s like a cockroach at nite

definitely takes after mi lor

but he keeps toking and opening & shutting his eyes tat there’s lotsa air bubbles and the masks dropped off after a while

he was totally tickled by how he looked





chinese horoscope 26th aug

27 08 2008

Passion and great love might knock at your door this time; you’ll feel exalted sentiments, and you’ll be under the spell of a person recently met; however, remain lucid and realistic after all! This astral ambience will allow you to bloom and to develop your capacities to the fullest. You’ll establish complicity ties with your near ones, and everything will go for the better. In society, try to control your aggressiveness and your critical mind. Don’t be surprised if some unexpected money comes into your pocket today!





wall-e

26 08 2008

 

reli reli good show~!

if mummy 3 got 2 stars, tis is a five stars performance

i luv the CG and how humanlike the feelings bet wall-e and eve r

and wall-e’s persistence in cleaning up earth as the lone machine left, in his pursuit of eve is so touching

good show!





last min panicking

26 08 2008

 

not mi, but her

so obvious!  tat explains the exclamation marked emails i got on mon morn

and the comment abt NOT doing the employee survey on a fri after a long wk is juz plain bullshit.  they haf no statistics at all to back tat up so stop making such baseless remarks~!  as a leader, pls get ur facts rite before commenting

wah liew!  i haf zero respect for ppl who ignore email invites to meetings, especially for the biggest win in the region tat she is supposedly so concerned abt.  pls lor, walk the talk else talk is CHEAP!

it is fated tat the client cancelled both meetings.

all tis goes to make mi even more convicted tat i made the rite choice.  dun wait till the ship is sinking to jump ship, disembark wif dignity at the nearest port of call.  tis is no longer the same ship as the one i boarded nor the fleet the same tat i joined.

i cannot believe i m tis happy to leave my company of 11 yrs.

“ppl dun leave becoz of their jobs, ppl leave becoz of their bosses”

famous quote tat has been proven rite time and again





YY passed his chinese CA!

26 08 2008

 

and he got 34 out of 50~!

wow!  i m so impressed !  his reading skills has improved by leaps and bounds !

and he got 8 out of 10 for his last chinese spelling

yea!  my son’s chinese is finally improving

more reasons den one to celebrate tdy !





last day

26 08 2008

watever has passed has passed.  yes i was pissed yest but u r onli as pissed as u allow urself to b.

it is time for mi to move on.  YEA!





hk trip planning

25 08 2008

 

it’s been such a wet day tat i couldn’t keep my eyes open after lunch

had a long nap till 5 b4 heading out for dinner

decided to spend some time planning the trip wif YY

 

http://bonbon78.wordpress.com/2007/06/05/good-food-in-hk/

i luv the mid levels, soho area but the roadname hollywood rd didn’t ring a bell…till i see my own fotos, good thing i was so trigger happy coz mi is growing old…memory failure!

Mooncakes buying trip

25 08 2008

 

had a great day trip on sat to get mooncakes

i luv the many flavours we got : cranberry, water chestnut, low sugar, pandan lotus paste, green tea (QQ’s fav)

and the kiddos down-ed 1.5 mooncakes tdy

also luv the food at the hk cafe at holiday plaza and having teabreak at season’s/lavender

i luv the packaging at lavender.  the tins make storage so space saving.  i can’t understand y the mooncakes r most in old fashioned square boxes in sg

oso had a relaxing time doing foot reflex and back massage, much needed!





swamped

24 08 2008

 

by work after i handover,  gross!

i m trying to help as much as possible

i feel reli bad tat my team is so much busier after i leave but tis is nobody’s fault except tat of mgmt coz they are in charge of resource planning

as a leader, tat’s wat u r paid off, it’s YOUR job, not the team’s

of course the team suffers from work overload when the leader can’t manager resources effectively

for a one mth notice period, it means tat HR is confident a person is replaceable within a mth or so

i muz learn to switch off





DL

22 08 2008

 

 

need i say more?  i m in a DL mood

‘the one’ or not, i haf been serving and i tink i’ve done enuff

leave it to fate or destiny bah

i m grossed out by men in general…eeks!

no, it doesn’t apply to any of my good frens hoo r male





lame!

22 08 2008

 

i tink wat i juz heard is plain disgusting and revolting

i haf deleted tis person from MY contact list coz i dun tink he is worthy to b my fren

for all the bs abt ‘the one’ and portraying himself as being decisive in luv, omg!   he again made my specs drop

pls lor, u can’t hold a candle to mi at all

u r so lame i feel sorrie for u

and i m so glad my gf so heng not to waste any more time on tis loser

good riddance

it’s nuthing to do wif our men sense coz it’s entirely wat bs was excreted and wat we trustingly believe

go stuff urself in ur own bs and drown in its vileness, it i nbr wana see tis loser’s face again

the onli thing i feel like doing to him is to thank him, for not wasting my gf’s time.  thank god he has f off on his own accord

the worst part is he doesn’t even haf the decency to leave a person alone





执子之手,与子偕老

22 08 2008

 

i like tis line too but the first time tat comes to mind is the song

亲爱的那不是爱情

i like tis part

你说过牵了手就算爱情
但亲爱的那并不是爱情

it means tat expectations of both parties r different and level of commitment is not on parity too

 

and i muz translate tis line 执子之手,与子偕老 : hold ur hand and grow old wif u

 

 

 





babies and kids

21 08 2008

 

i luv babies, especially nb coz they’re so soft and adorable.  miniature copies of daddies and mummies yet their own character is so strong

i was surprised to see kerri wearing QQ’s top and it looks juz rite on her, not too big at all.

gosh!   when did she grow up so much?   i see her everyday and her size seeems constant to mi yet she has grown taller.  she’s 85 cm nw

i teased her tat she muz haf secretly grown up while sleeping

and i liken kiddos to beansprouts, skinny and tall

monotone

21 08 2008

 

i tink tis is a common prob for ang moh, even the bananas

wif all due respect, i noe my counterpart had a lot to cover but the monotone of her voice reli makes it hard for mi to concentrate for long.





consistency abt passion

21 08 2008

 

i was searching thru my mail and found tis mail i sent to Joc on 15 Aug 2006, 1 yr 7 days after I started in my current role
to b honest, my passion is still in risk mgmt and credit.
i miss working on more technical aspects of projects too.
u noe how much i enjoy writing reports and looking at systems.

 

i surprise myself by how consistent i haf been in my pursuit.  though i had a 3 yr stint in corporate cards, i nbr deviate from my intended course.   risk & IT were on my dev plan 3 yrs back, not relationship mgmt.  there was nbr any doubt in wat i wana do

things happen for a reason.  mayb my stint was to gif mi exposure & benefit mi monetary wise.   and make mi realise wat i dun wana do.   true passion can withstand the test of time and $

neopets

14 08 2008

 

YY always tell mi i m too rich on neopets

Your current balance and interest rate allow you to gain 19,117 NP per day (it’s rounded up)!

Account Type: Ultimate Riches!
Current Balance: 55,821,080 NP
Interest Rate: 12.5% per year
Yearly Interest: 6,977,635 NP

it’s reli not tat hard to earn 10,000 nps from playing games.  takes less den half an hr to achieve if u play the rite games

and stockmarket is one area u can get beli beli quick once u build up a portfolio.   of course the restriction of buying 1,000 shares a day means it takes some patience to build up a diverse and substantial portfolio.  my guiding principle is simple.  buy at 15 or 16np per share and sell once it passes the 40 np mark.   i can usually sell at least one lot everyday

i dun bother wif the shop coz i hate the hassle of updating the inventory and prices.





handover handover handover

14 08 2008

winningest phelps

14 08 2008

 

13th aug

Michael Phelps swam into history as the winningest Olympic athlete ever with his 10th and 11th career gold medals — and five world records in five events at the Beijing Games.

After a six-gold performance at the 2004 Athens Games, Phelps needed only five days in Beijing to surpass Spitz, Lewis, Soviet gymnast Larysa Latynina and Finnish runner Paavo Nurmi as the winningest Olympian ever.

Phelps is now all alone at the top of the career golds list, with three more chances to stretch his lead before he leaves China. He’ll swim in the 200 individual medley, 100 fly and 400 medley relay.





k 歌

13 08 2008

 

long time no sing k

the best part abt driving is having a mobile ktv room

and i haf been saying and planning to go k to and wif everyone…haha

date fixed for mid sep..wah, sing k oso needs to plan > 1 mth in advance?

and i luv my new mp3 cd so much.   zc, lj et moi were singing 暧昧 on the way to burke.  the lyrics r so meaningful

and of course i luv ah mei’s songs esp 人质





creature of habit

13 08 2008

 

tat’s marie’s assessment of mi coz we discussed who is the first person we wana break news to

and according to her, can make effort to place a person at front of mind by making a habit

sounds chim and quite deliberate…it’s like 101 ways to cheat urself…haha

i agree wif the creature of habits theory.  and tat explains perfectly y i can become fast frens quickly but dun keep close frens for long

nuthing to do wif attraction or chemistry, juz matter of habit

but it’s a trap coz if it’s tat easy to assume tat u r in luv, u will fall out of luv juz as quickly

m i too distant?   tat’s deliberate coz i dun haf much interest in getting to know new ppl and ‘entertain’, gif mi old frens anytime.   new frens tend to b too high maintenance for mi and i’m getting old.  not so much energy and time anymore.  after a long day at work, i juz wana go home and recuperate.  catching up is fine, not meeting new ppl, it’s juz too much effort.  and i haf been AS on cyberspace for the longest time.  been there, done tat

of course, there’r exceptions when 2 birds r killed wif one stone.  read karen and her efforts.  thanks buddy!

i oso can’t bring myself to exhibit my friendliness and affection for friends in the way marie suggested and uses.  it comes naturally for her and it’s oso a deliberate move on my part to maintain a ‘healthy’ distance. 

i noe myself too well so i won’t let my guard dwn

i suspect tat’s y s has survived for so long coz i noe there’s no risk.  happier to luv character at work.  sounds abit boh liao but tis is the safest r/ship one can haf





msn msgs

13 08 2008

 

 

i can see from yahoo….woohoo!

finally!  mayb i can stop using meebo liao.   didn’t bother to move everyone from my contact list though…too troublesome





of massage

13 08 2008

 

not so long to go…i even dreamt tat i went for massage days b4 my appt

my aching neck needs some tender loving hands to knead and unknot the tension and smooth away the stress

i could haf got it wif my haircut but ah bao, i will support u ok!

jia you!  my hair is like grass nw, overgrown grass

and i m looking forward to my foot reflexology from happy valley





the mummy 3

13 08 2008

 

now i didn’t watch the first 2 mummies but ZC said the wife was prettier

i like michelle yeoh and jet li and ling was beautiful

but the 3 headed drake and horned monster tat jet li transformed in as hideous creatures dun do much for the storyline

since it’s abt qin emperor, should b chinese dragon and 麒麟 den more interesting.  ok, too much fengyun

and the crappiest part is when the army of the dead was fighting.   reminds mi of LOTR.

anyway, they were skeletons and one soldier knocked off the skull of another accidentally.  guess wat happens?  he went ’sorry!’, picked up the skull and fixed it back on going ‘Your head’

wah liew, super lame lor.  pls dun inject humour at the wrong moments.





farewell pressies

13 08 2008

 

mi is gonna start clearing out stuff

for the teamie, the IM was a farewell pressie

i hope i leave everyone better off in terms of knowledge from the farewell pressies

i feel worst abt leaving work coz everyone is so so stretched





chocolat overload

13 08 2008

 

we made chocolat molten cakes as team building exercise

quite simple to follow instructions but of course i dun rem how to make it

the chocolat centres were melting as we piped the cake batter so i licked lotsa chocolat

we oso beat egg whites till frothy and folded in flour which was hard work

we had the cake wif vanilla ice-cream but it was so rich tat all of us suffered from chocolat overload

we were beli quiet in the cab from fatigue and chocolat indigestion

tink i’ll skip brownies and ice-cream for a while





tired

12 08 2008

 

 

like hell

same sentiments as teamies

how come boss’ boss in town, we r so so tired?

haben checked emails for 2 days…stressed!





nice korean food

12 08 2008

 

at furama city sq

the korean ginseng soup and bimbibab was excellent

bbq meat was not bad too but abit troublesome lah to DIY the bbq

better food den the seah st one where karen celebrated her bday at

i wouldn’t mind visiting again





basketball

12 08 2008

 

tis morning, was toking to ivy abt basketball

so sad tat china lost

3 points shots were good at the beginning but once the gap widened, momentum and game was lost together wif the accuracy of the shoot attempts

and the US did slam dunks most of the time but so hard for china to block.  onli way to win seems to outscore them instead of juz defending





getai

12 08 2008

 

i was juz mentioning to some ppl lats wk tat i haben watched any getai tis yr

http://getai.stomp.com.sg/getai/season3/index.jsp

so shacked tis wk wif work and schedule, tink i’ll bring the kiddos next wk





skinfood

11 08 2008

 

i need my sweet potato powder,  not much left liao

and i painted my nails using the yellow glitter nail vita from skinfood tis wk

better coverage and easier to use den elianto lor

even beauty credit is not bad and i using their top coat, super cheap too!





of zodiac signs, horoscopes, age, chemistry & interests

11 08 2008

 

as we get older, we r more and more superstitous

mayb it’s from experience tat we see the element of truth and wisdom in the stars and readings

so i noe which zodiac signs r compatible wif mi

and i’m most attracted to aquarius , gemini and libra.  tis has been true for as long as i can remember.  being wif the wrong signs won’t haf happy ending…tsk tsk

but is age impt?   well, to mi, as long as not younger, tat’s good enuff.   at 30, i can’t stand the thot of a younger man who’s 20 something.   mayb i’ll feel different once i’m 31 coz 30 yo men sound quite mature

and toking abt chemistry which to the guys is the all impt factor instead of the age coz the maturity level can b gauged form the chemistry during conversation

for a while, i tink common interests matter a lot too

but somehow if chemistry is not strong enuff, den i tink we can at best b activity partners

so ‘the one’ theory still stands for mi.  it’s scary to imagine wat if u dun meet ‘the one’ if there’s onli one who’s meant for u.   or is tat part of the plans too?

but timing is still everything.  u muz meet the one at the rite timing for both parties.  it’s always abt meeting the rite person at the rite place at the rite time.   mayb tat’s fate at work!





yahoo mail messaging (windows live)

11 08 2008

9 aug

11 08 2008

Despite billions pumped into money markets by US and European central banks, credit conditions have improved little since Aug 9 last year.

That was the day the European Central Bank injected 95 billion euros (S$203 billion) into credit markets to keep them from complete collapse. The unprecedented amount was bigger than all the funds the US Federal Reserve pumped in after the terrorist attacks on Sept 11, 2001.





China vs US

11 08 2008

 

YY was complaining he’s tired when doing homework (not even assessment books lor!) and made a getaway to bed.  i asked him if he wants to watch China vs US game and his eyes opened wide and he sprang out of bed in no time.

he was suddenly all energetic even b4 the game started.

YY was so happy when Yao Ming scored the first 3 pointer against US

yea!  3-0!

16-20 : 1st quarter 

29-29 : 5 mins into 2nd quarter…come on come on come on

29-35 : omg!  shit!

32-35 : another beautiful 3 pointer!

32-39 : shit!

32-43 : y is the china team starting to miss their 3 point shots?  so many wasted chances to close the gap.  biggest gap so far in the game

34-47

36-47 : Yao Ming scores free throws

36-49

37-49 : end of Q2 (21-29 scored in 2nd quarter)

37-51 : oh no!

39-53

39-55 : wat is happening to the china team

41-56 : Yao Ming breaking the scoreless streak

43-56 : yea!

43-58

43-60

45-63

48-65

59-77 : i almost can’t bear to watch when i noe the outcome

70-101 : so sad





archery

11 08 2008

 

was watching females archery in the afternoon and saw the korean team break world and olympic records wif a tally of 321

the korean ladies were brilliant and the grouping of their shots are so nice!

so many 10 points bullseye, they r reli impressive! 

the italian team tailed behind from the first 3 shots and the game was lost from the start





IM status and messages

10 08 2008

 


sametime allows current status msg to b edited and i set mine to ”这是个死胡同,走出去就有路”  1.5 mths back.  so far, onli a colleague in hk noticed and asked mi abt itfri afternoon, i updated my msg to “我要走出死胡同了” and shortly after i got a msg from the same colleague asking mi “ready?”

i had no idea wat he was referring to and thot he was asking mi if i’m ready for the olympics opening tat nite…haha

but he saw my update and knew wat’s happening.  looks like my hk trip is turning out to b a farewell trip

as i explained to ivy, a lot of things r not wifout 前兆。  i oredi declared my intention openly.   it’s like writing a story and 埋下伏笔。

 

 

 





loving and being loved

10 08 2008

 

marie told mi her observation and analysis of a few ppl’s chars and i agree wif tis theory
 

some ppl are happier when loving while others need to b loved to b happy

i belong to the former and the traits r beli strong which means tat my happiness is more self derived den dependable on wat is given

so i luv tis song for the lyrics

柠檬草的味道

我们都没错 只是不适合
亲爱的我当时不懂得
选择是我的 不是你给的
明天自己负责
给昨天的我一个拥抱
曾经她不知如何是好

我们都没错 只是不适合
我要的我现在才懂得
快乐是我的 不是你给的
寂寞要自己负责

Gemini
May 21 – June 20
You are apt to get the feeling that the grass is greener on the other side today, dear Gemini. Try not to get too hung up on this concept. Either make the effort to cross the bridge and go where the landscape looks richer and more fruitful, or simply stay where you are. The key for true happiness is to make sure that regardless of where you end up, that you are enjoying the spot where you currently are.





chit chat

7 08 2008

 

surprisingly strangers can get along and chat so much

mayb part of the reason is there’s no perception or bias in a new friendship

certainly a fren worth having

good to b able to haf such an open conversation and feel being understood

guess maturity level and wavelength matters too





i dun mind

7 08 2008

 

as if !

wat i haf to brush it off lightly to save my worthless pride and take the pressure off u

i hate getting let dwn time & again and having to make the initiative ALL the time





admiral bar grill

7 08 2008

 

 

i like the place, ambience and all

though the ribs were onli average

good place to catch up wif frens definitely!





bumper crop

5 08 2008

 

tis yr for durians so the prices r real low

kiddos n i haf been to geylang to feast on $1 and $2 durians

the $2 ones r of not bad quality

so lucky the bumper crop is pushing prices dwn so i can afford to eat more durians

tis is one of few items not affected by inflation yet and has its price set freely by mkt forces of supply and demand





four seasons cafe

5 08 2008

 

is a upmkt durian cafe, opp still rd crabs.  yes, it used to b a malay kopitiam

they haf the usual outdoors tables and seats outside but they oso haf nice cool air-conditioned seating indoors

i went there wif the rec club and got my fill of D24 and 猫山王 for 10 bucks

they served coconut wif the durians which i find a tab weird

after the durians, the coconut was tasteless

and i grabbed a husk for washing hands…not onli mi auntie and do tat hor, other ppl oso do tat !certainly beats using hand soap!

i tink it’ll b even nicer if we get to drink salt water out of durian husks which is wat i teach my kiddos at home





weather forecast

5 08 2008

 

from my desk tis morning :
i can see the sky turning dark by the minute from my window seat…scary!

OMG!  as i type tis, within 5 mins, heavy downpour outside!!  windows all blurred
 
in another 10 mins, 雨过天晴!  大地经过大雨的洗礼, 显得焕然一新 !

 

and it was scorching hot in the afternoon

sat was even worse, i was outside and felt like i was burning up in the heat

we finished all the water we brought and had a nice icy cold grass jelly each.  tat was when i finally managed to cool down and cool off

kiddos eating pho

5 08 2008

or did i juz make it worse?





dinner and catching up

5 08 2008

we had an impromptu dinner last nite but tonite’s turnout is great

so good to catch up wif old frens.   it sounds simple enuff to gather for a meal but considering everyone’s commitment for work and family, it’s reli a huge effort

and glad tat all of us r willing to mit somewhere convenient for ah mun

wif so many babies in the group (ok, onli 2 but still, it’s the most we had so far), good to see the bbs’ growth and get a chance to cuddle them abit

i luv little bbs, totally irresistable at tis stage





soulmates

5 08 2008

 

r there reli soulmates?

well, i m a believer
