photos. A LOT of photos.

in a bid to simply upload all the photos from my phone...well, not ALL, but some, i've decided to just...do...this.

louis and his mint bone.

crab dinner with syl, jay, chriz and josh.

same dinner, but drunken prawns. yummy!

back to louis. and his new toy...a chipmunk (still known as bear-bear).

my sis...giving him a goooood time. heh heh heh

this needs to be rotated but anyway, this was yummy pre-ROM dinner for shirley.

my spicy miso ramen at parco millenia. GOOOOOD!

and the following were the girls' ones. can't remember which is whose.

and last but not least...

Congrats Shirley and Steven!!!

wassup?

a lot apparently.

and i don't even just mean in my life, although that has been a major bulk of 'excitement' - some nice, some not nice.

drama mama...

on the 'job' front, it has been quite nice. i'm getting the hang of it and it is only gonna get harder. it's only the 3rd week and already, more drama. managing different personalities and playing the mediator while really trying to help the kids. argh! looooong story.

on the 'other' front, things are moving. the countdown has not begun, but the info-gathering and administration is sooooo on the way. dates are almost firmed up. ALMOST.

on the home front, more stuff. but ah...too personal so :X let's just say i have been travelling to-and-fro a lot and surprisingly, i think the family has been coming together a lot more and that's something we never really did. at least we hadn't done it for a while.

so yeah. life's been like that. God's favour has and will see me through everything. And in all things, I have Jesus!

fishing for information

i'm sure i'm NOT the only person who uses facebook, twitter, blogs, and other online avenues to 'fish' for information. i mean, give me a break. i am QUITE bored. there is SO MUCH one can do when one is not doing anything concrete.

so, i recently found some very interesting information. one was particularly...curious for me. it got me totally confused, though it came close to "shocking".

then, it occured to me that i have been completely out of touch with certain people, certain places and certain events that i used to be in touch with. i wondered if they were deliberate decisions. i suppose if they were deliberate, i would know. yet, i'm not quite sure just how much of it was a conscious decision and how much of it was circumstancial.

hmm?

anyhoo, maybe it's for the best. :)

i *heart* my lappie

was looking back at my last post and i realised just how disorganised i am when it comes to my blog. i literally type what i think of. what happened to proper planning? *throw out of window*

so, my mum has returned all in one piece. she enjoyed her trip, and i think she is planning another trip in a couple more months. looks like it'll be hong kong with my aunt (her sis). hee hee...i overheard them talking on the phone when i was mock-asleep this morning.

so anyway, i wanted to say, i lurve my new lappie. although it's not very small, and it's been reconfigured (which i heard was actually unnecessary, but nvm....), i love it! a new laptop is like starting life all over again, because there is nothing in there. u have to download programmes and software and create new folders, etc.

and i like typing on it. it makes me feel...so...busy. hahaha. the lack of necessity to type has made typing a fun activity for me. isn't that weird?

ANYWAY, the weather is nuts too. one minute it's mad white hot, and the next minute it's grey and gloom. it's no wonder people are getting sick. i have been a little under the weather the last week or so. no big problem. just a little sorey throaty and a little flu-ey. i guess i haven't really made an effort to get better. i will i will.

yes, i really like to type on my lovely lappie. :)

hours before my mum flies off

my mum is going to bkk for a short trip. yes, amidst all the chaos there. she has balls. like me. hahaha. but worry not, for her god-daughter is thai and lives there, and will take good care of her. anyway, i think it's not THAT chaotic. not for tourists anyway. she may get some good buys out of it since i doubt there would be many tourists at this time.

and so, the sole responsibility of my dog lies with me for the next few days. i know, it's supposed to be my responsibility but i've been spoilt to the point that my mum is the one that wakes up every morning to bring my dog for a walk and feed and wash him. it motivates her cos she thinks she's losing weight by running with him. and i let her think that. :p

yeap, louis, you're stuck with me buddy!

sidetrack a bit.

i keep smelling this burning smell every night around 12 plus 1. i don't know if something is burning, or it's the haze. sometimes it smells like burnt rubber; sometimes like the incense my mum burns at home; sometimes it smells like a cigarette (i suspect one of my neighbours upstairs or downstairs smokes out of the window and hence, into my window. prob downstairs since smoke goes up. argh!).

so yah...it stinks. i feel disgusted and smoked out. yurgh!

alamak. i hear the fire engine!

*cross fingers*

it feels like...

had pepper crab over the weekend with some friends. and now, it feels like i'm about to get a sore throat.

and last weekend, i had jalan kayu otah - THE BEST OTAH IN THE WORLD!!! the problem was, i had otah for dinner...a bit too many sticks of them. ended up with an uncomfortable tummy the entire night.

so this wraps up another food item that i cannot eat in excess:

1. rice vermicilli (tung hoon)
2. otah

but the otah is really damn shiok lah!

while taking a break from training

i'm at a training session now for my new "job". it's day 2 of the 5-day programme and i'm having a lunch break now. so while waiting for the afternoon session to start, thought i'd just pop by to...ramble.

so...

it's great that i am only a 15-min walking distance away from home. i get to exercise and to reach work in a consistent time. 15-mins flat. no worries about traffic conditions at all. it doesn't matter. i just need my 2 legs. it's not a daily thing so i will not get tired of it...i think. haha

and i STILL get some free time. yay yay yay!!

alrightey. my post is really boring. aiyo. why like that?

toodles!

Rainy days

I'm pretty happy that it has been raining recently. I mean, it is TIME, please, dear God! It was getting soooo warm and humid, it was getting on my nerves.

In fact, I wish Singapore was cold and clammy and gloomy. Like London. Wouldn't that be great?!? :p

So today was one of those days again. Rainy. Just like I like it. And my poochie pooch, Louis, loves the weather. He's been lazing all day, enjoying the nice cold wind and even colder floor.

Look!

Cute right? It's the first time I've seen him in this position. And I think he propped the pillows up himself. Awww...

Bring on the rain!!!

MRT Annoyances

i'm quite irritated with the ppl on the very mrt that i boarded right now. now. this very moment. there is a dork who thinks he is the next best thing in the world when in fact, he is a dork. if i could, i'll tell it to his face how his very presence annoy me. then there is this girl who is holding a deck of cards and ONLY flipping the 7diamonds over and over again. arrgh...so annoying!
