I love KIDS!

My friend's kid had just sang Kiss Goodbye to me! So cute!

I want to have a kid too!

A weird day

My wonderful handphone had played a trick on me this morning! Apparently, when the alarm rang at 8am, the phone hang. As such, I did not hear any alarm. When I woke up, it was already 9am! Luckily, my office is very near my house. If not, I would probably be late for work! But I guess, I had the most wonderful sleep last night. It was so wonderful that I had slept all the way till 9am with no distractions. =p

Celene had just called me, telling me that she has NDP tickets for the NDP preview this Saturday! Oh man! I would really really wanna go, but I'm going Kukup this weekend. =( What a pity... ARGH!

Anyway, I was feeling quite down when I left office today. I had made some mistakes at work. Sigh. Though it's easy for people to say that it's okay to make mistakes as long as we learn from our mistakes. But, I'm still very angry at myself. Hence, I had to burn all my anger into energy by going for a short jog. Thankfully, I do feel much better now after a short jog along a new route.

Today is finally the last day to register for SCM at a discounted price... Hmm... And I still cannot make up my mind to take part half marathon or full marathon!

Why am I such a typical Librian?

It has been confirmed. I would be going Kukup this weekend with my branch people! The van will pick us up @ Punggol Plaza and we'll head straight to Kukup after work on Saturday! Exciting!

Mushroom Park

My Cluster Manager, Chee Leong treated us (all the NE CSMs) to Mushroom Park last night! It's super YUMMY! I had enjoyed the dinner a lot and I would definitely go there again! What's so special about Mushroom Park is, all the staff there are very friendly and helpful. And most importantly, it's all about MUSHROOMS! The mushroom sashimi is super nice! It's amazing to know that there are so many different kinds of mushrooms!

A typical "class photo"

After the dinner, I was really happy as I had finally apologized to him for my childish acts back then. =p

Some random thoughts...

I wanna buy a new pair of sports shoes! In fact, I had already found "my love", but I just wanna wait for a good opportunity to buy that pair of sports shoes. Hopefully, I will feel rich on my next pay day and I could bring home "my love".

I'm having a strong craving for DURIANS! I wanna eat BITTER DURIANS! Yummy!

I wanna go on holiday! But, looking at my leave schedule, I doubt I can travel to anywhere this year other than going for those short trips.

I had been having weird dreams for the past few nights. Is that a sign? Hmm... And yes, I had been dreaming of driving as well.

Last of all, I'm going back to work tomorrow. And so, I will sleep early tonight!

Good night to all!

Have a fantastic week ahead!

Fear

I am currently reading the book, The Five People You Meet in Heaven. As I am reading the book, I realize my greatest fear is not death.

My greatest fear is seeing my loved ones leaving before me.

But, the truth is, we have no control on this, isn't it?

This is life.

A Busy Saturday

Celene's company has organized a walk to Southern Ridges yesterday and I was excited to join in for the walk when she mentioned to me about it last weekend. It was indeed a good walk, though I think that the whole route doesn't seem to be 8km. It seems to be shorter. Or maybe I was so mesmerized by the beautiful scenery that I had forgotten about the distance. Perhaps it's a good idea to go there for a jog someday though it would be quite torturing to run on the metal bridge.

Anyway, we reached HortPark at about 10+ and we were super hungry! However, we had to wait quite some time before the bus finally managed to find us at HortPark.

A nice view of the neighbourhood... When the residents are still in their dreamland on a Saturday morning, I'm on top of Mount Faber, taking photos...

Some of the highlights of the whole walk are featured in this map...

HortPark

The lovely couple, Celene and Alvin

Sisters in PINK!

Can you see the bee buzzing in action?

------

Our dear Andrea would be going Israel to do her PHD soon and so, we had decided to meet up before she flies off in August. Oh well, it was supposed to be a JC outing, but unfortunately, there only four of us as most of them couldn't make it due to work commitments or personal reasons. Neverthelss, four of us had fun and laughter!

I was tasked to make reservation at Pasta de Waruku... Know what? I had called the wrong number and had made reservation at Waruku (upstairs) instead! Oh man. Thankfully, the staff was nice enough to give us a table. If not, I would probably be killed by Kee Chung for not accomplishing my simple task. Oops...

Anyway, my Eel pasta was quite okay, but I find the portion to be kinda pathetic. Thankfully, we had also ordered desserts to complete our meal. And after our meal, Colin was very insistent to walk around Central before walking over to Settlers' Cafe.

Andrea & me

Kee Chung, Colin, Andrea & me...

As usual, Kee Chung would always win in all the games, and when Colin finally won him in this particular game, he was so happy that he wanted us to help him to take this photo! haha.

We played until 11+ before leaving Settlers' Cafe...

Thereafter, I went to K Garden for Simon's birthday celebration!

And do you know what is the MOST IN card game now? It's BRIDGE! I simply love this game!

For once, I did not touch any alcohol as I was not feeling too well.

(Oh my god, my face looks so fat and big beside the 2 skinny girls in the photo!)

After the party, some of them went to Boat Quay for 2nd half. I was simply too tired to go.

After enjoying for one whole week, I got to go back to work tomorrow. Oh man. Though I was on leave, I was really busy. I didn't really have time to have proper rest. In fact, I was so busy that I felt that it was more tiring than usual working day.

Really hope that tomorrow will be a great working day for me!

And I'm looking forward to the next public holiday! Yeah!

A relaxing morning jog

I just had a short jog in the morning. The weather is super cooling and it's really nice to jog in such weather. It would be a good weather to run long distance, but I was just too lazy. =p I had decided to go for a short jog instead. It's a good warming up exercise early in the morning. Besides, who will wake up so early (except me) to run in the morning?

And now, it's back to packing my wardrobe. Seeing the big pile of clothes on my bed, I'm really horrified. But, I'm determined to finish packing my wardrobe today! Hopefully, I can proceed to pack up my table and cupboards over the weekend. If not, my room will still be in the mess after going back to work on Monday. The reason why I take so long to finish packing my wardrobe is because, I like to multi-task. When packing my wardrobe, I will tempt to do other things like blogging or surfing internet. I guess if I wanna complete the task more efficiently, I should just focus on one task at a time. Oh well...

(Latest Update: I had just finished packing my wardrobe! APPLAUSE!)

I would be going to Southern Ridges tomorrow morning! I believe it's going to be a fantastic morning walk. Though I have to wake up at 6+ to go for this walk, I'm sure it's going to be worth it. Fresh air with birds chirping, coupled with beautiful scenery. It's definitely going to be a refreshing morning walk... =p

Tomorrow is Saturday and it will also mean that my leave is going to end soon! Argh!

Full marathon or Half marathon?

It's time to register for SCM 2008. I would definitely sign up for the race, but the question is, should I sign up for the full marathon or the half marathon? Hmm... I would really like to join the full marathon, but after my previous full marathon experience, I was kinda hesitant about signing up for the full marathon. Impossible is nothing, but full marathon is really a LONG LONG distance as compared to my usual 10km or 15km race. Oh well, I shall consider it carefully before signing up for the race.

I'm currently on leave, and I am simply enjoying everyday. It feels good to be able to take a break and settle some of my personal stuff. There are so many things to do with so little time. And in a blink of eyes, it's time to go back work. Anyway, I started packing my wardrobe yesterday and it was chaotic. My wardrobe is exploding with too many clothes, especially with me inheriting so of my sister's clothes. It seems like I have so many clothes, but why is it that I still keep wearing the same old clothes? I probably have to take another day or so to finish packing everything. My god...

Nowadays, the weather is really weird. In the morning, the sun is bright and sunny. But now, it seems like it may just rain any time. The weather is getting more and more unpredictable, just like life. =p

Disappointed

I had screwed up my driving test badly today.

Normally, I had no problems with parallel or vertical parking, but somehow or rather, my mind went blank today and I could not do the parking properly. I tried my best not to let that mistake to affect my driving, but I was just too nervous. I was so tensed out that I was not thinking properly. I also made several silly mistakes. The worst thing was, a motorcycle just ZOOMED past me when I was filtering to the left lane. Sigh. I knew that I did not do well, and I ought to fail this time. But, I was still very upset.

Sigh.

Maybe the taxi driver was right, I should be happy that I did not pass this time as even if I were to pass this time, I won't be able to drive safely on the road. And I shall treat this time as a learning lesson so that I would do better on the next attempt.

I will definitely do better the next time!

------

Anyway, thanks to all my dear friends who had sms-ed me before my driving test. It was very encouraging. =p Thanks. Special thanks to my dear sister who had came all the way from Jurong to Sengkang to console me. She's the best sister. I love her lots!

Getting really stressed out...

My driving test is drawing near, but I feel like I am super not ready for it. I simply sux in circuit. Sigh. It's really getting very stressful for me. I guess I just got to try my best on my test date. Jia You!

My brother has officially moved out of the house. The house seems so empty without his voice. So, there are only my parents, my granny and me in the house. It can be really lonely at home when my parents are out while my granny is sleeping. Suddenly, I really miss having my sister and brother at home. On a happier note, I'm looking forward to my brother's housewarming in August! =p My sister and I even planned to go for a swim and KTV at his new house! I'm sure it's going to be a fun family gathering.

If any of you have yet to watch the movie, Red Cliff, I would strongly recommend you to watch it. It's REALLY DAMN GOOD. It's so good that I probably will help my parents to book the movie tickets so that they can enjoy such a good movie too. And it's also the first movie that I simply can't wait for the second part of the movie to be released. So guys, please go and watch Red Cliff. It's a movie which you won't want to miss... =p

Shape Run 2008

I had just finished Shape Run 2008. Despite that it's a Women's run, the registration would always be closed before I could sign up for the past few years. And I had finally signed up for this popular race successfully this year. Haha. All in all, it was a great run with good weather and good running buddy, Celene. The official timing was not out yet, but my reliable Swatch watch told me that we took about 35 minutes to finish the race. =p I truly enjoyed the run. Though it was tiring that I had to wake up at 5+ to get ready for the race, I must say it was worth it. This run is a good warm up for the coming army half marathon. I have been running leisurely, but I guess, it's time to intensify my training to prepare myself for 21km.

I'm in good mood today as I know that I will be on leave this coming week! I only have to work one more day and then I can enjoy my break! Yeah!

Home Sweet Home

I'm back! It was totally a great short and relaxing trip.

Though I had to rush to the ferry terminal on Monday, and rushed back to office today the moment I reached Singapore, the trip was worth it.

As my sister and Alan had checked in on Sunday, they came to fetch us at the Bintan terminal to the villa.

We're staying at Banyu Biru Villas...

and the unit number is Belatara 10!

Our chalet!

It's a semi-detached villa with kitchen, living room and 2 bedrooms. The kitchen is well-equipped. As such, we have no problem cooking IKEA meatballs with sauce, tang yuan and re-heat any food that we want! =p

On the first night, we brought Pizza from Singapore and after dinner, we started to play board game, Atlantis! It was my favourite childhood board game. All of us enjoyed the game and I'm glad that the guys did not find this game to be too childish. :)

The next morning, we woke up at 9+ to go to the beach! As our villa does not come with the buggy, we have to call the reception to ask them to drive us around!

And soon, we reached the main pool!

Sis and I posing in front of the beautiful garden

Isn't the pool so beautiful that you just want to jump straight into it?

For the past 2 days, I am the cook, taking care of all the meals. Though I must admit, it's tiring to cook, I realize it can be a pleasure to cook for your loved ones. We had a relaxing holiday at Bintan and I really enjoyed myself with wonderful company...

Me with my dear sister and brother in law

I was really tired when I came back home today. It's amazing that I could still bring my tired body to office to do end-day balancing...

I guess I'm going to sleep early tonight.

Good night to all!

An Ordinary Saturday Night

It's a Saturday night, and I'm at home because of my swollen eyes. Maybe my eyes are going on strike to complain to me that they're tired and they need a rest. As a vain pot, I basically wear contact lens everyday. I guess it's not really good for my eyes. Whatever it is, I guess I shall be a good girl and stay at home to accompany my grandma tonight. :)

It had been a bad week for me. I'm so glad that it's finally weekend! I was feeling quite down for the whole week, but I should forget about all the unhappiness and just enjoy my weekend now. And the Bintan trip really comes at the right time for me to sort out my thoughts and when I'm back, hopefully I'll be feeling much better. As for now, I simply can't wait for Monday to come!

I'm feel kinda bad that I have not been able to meet up with some of my dear friends. But I had been really busy lately as my weekend has been packed with driving lessons. Though it can be tiring at times, I enjoy my driving lessons. I love to drive! I think it's very fun to drive though I tempt to do silly things at times and my driving instructor will always scold me. Sometimes, I also cannot stand myself for doing such stupid things, but I guess it's just so me to do silly things at times. Oh well, I'm Angeline you see. =p Nevertheless, I really like my driving instructor and partly because of him, I really enjoy my driving lessons. I hope I can brush up my driving skills so that I can graduate soon!

It's Sunday tomorrow! Yeah!

2008是结婚狂的星座

「我们结婚吧」，这句话每个人一生大概只会说一次，但是有几个星座的朋友，在2008年超想结婚，可能会把这句话当作是口头禅，在情人耳边不断的灌输我们结婚吧这样的魔咒。
什么星座的朋友在2008年超级想结婚，有可能变成结婚狂。(要看太阳星座和上升星座)

第五 天秤座：由于事业不顺，所以想找个长期饭票嫁了

如果你的太阳星座或上升星座在天秤座，在今年你想结婚的理由，恐怕是非常另类的，相较于其它星座的朋友，他们是真心渴望婚姻才结婚，而天秤座则是把「婚姻生活」当作是逃离现实的出口。由于今年天秤座今年的事业运不顺利，导致他们有了回归稳定家庭的想法，在他们的脑海中认为，既然事业发展没有起色，不如找个长期饭票嫁了吧。所以天秤座在今年对于婚姻的期待，比较像是一种消极的逃避。

第四魔羯座：渴望能够在今年五子登科

如果你的太阳星座或上升星座在魔羯座，在今年可能会经历许多人生中的重大阶段，例如升官发财或是娶妻生子。今年一开春的时候，魔羯做就可以清楚的感觉到，2008年的个人运势旺到不行，似乎身边总是会有许多好事情发生，例如在今年升官、在今年买车、或是在今年调薪等等，由于好事接二连三的出现，让魔羯座的朋友也动了「五子登科」的念头，因此单身的魔羯座希望能够娶个美丽的妻子，顺便生个白胖的儿子，那就心满意足了。

第三 处女座：为了想要小孩，所以今年超想结婚

如果你的太阳星座或上升星座在处女座，那么今年只要看到跟婴儿、小孩子有关的商品或是玩具，就会让你联想到结婚生子的愿望。因为受到行星能量的影响，单身的处女座特别渴望拥有自己的小孩，当处女座看到电视专题中介绍跟「婴幼儿」有关的商品时，也特别能吸引处女座的目光。为了能个生了可爱的娃娃，就算是工作狂的处女座，在今年也动了想要结婚生子的念头。

第二 狮子座：在酒醉的情况下，有可能向别人求婚

如果你的太阳星座或上升星座在狮子座，那么今年你开始会对婚姻生活会充满美丽的幻想，但是婚姻生活必须要有所计划，你除了考虑是不是要买房子之外，也会着手布置一个属于自己的小窝，同时你也开始减重，以期许自己可以在结婚的时候有最好的身材。虽然你有了想结婚的对象，但是你还需要一点「勇气」，因此狮子座在今年有可能在酒醉的情况下，大胆的向情人求婚。

第一 巨蟹座：把「结婚」当作是2008年的首要目标

如果你的太阳星座或上升星座是巨蟹座，恭喜你今年有非常好的结婚恋爱运，单身的巨蟹座在今年一定会清楚的感觉到，身边突然出现许多可以谈恋爱的对象，而且这些新的情人，似乎都透露出想要结婚的念头，这一点刚好跟「想结婚的巨蟹座」一拍即合，所以巨蟹座今年终于可以把结婚当作是2008年的首要目标，而且非常容易实现喔。

Haha. My horoscope is in the TOP FIVE. What does it mean? Hmm... How accurate is this? You decide... =p

A great jog home

After talking about it so many times, I finally jogged home this evening! It was a great jog though it would be better if I don't have to run up the slope in the first part of the route. Actually, I guess it's really a good idea for me to jog home given that it's super frustrating to wait 15 minutes for the bus everyday. The only thing is, I feel rather "naked" without bringing my bag home, as I would only bring my keys and hp home when I jog home. Oh well, we'll see how it goes...

Anyway, Lina and I had found a really cheap package to go BKK! But, the problem is, she cannot take leave during that period. What a pity. It's rare that the departure dates actually fix nicely to my leave schedule. I guess, god is telling me that I should just save money and stay in Singapore instead. Sigh.

I shall not complain so much since I am going to be on leave soon!

I can't wait to go Bintan! Yeah!

Bintan, here I come!

Thanks to my boss for his help, I can finally go Bintan with a peace of mind. =p Yeah! After enduring for almost a month, I can finally go for a break next week for a few days and then, I will be having one whole week of break in the third week in July! Yeah!

I'm looking forward to my short retreat next week!
