A Girl's Love

Come check This out!! Really Must check this out

It indeed is a girl's love.. Filled with many colourful stuff.. Bags, cosmetic, accessories.. It is a wonderful collaboration of great minds.. Hee!!

Enjoy the site..

Come fly with me, Let's FLY, let's FLY away....

Come fly with me to a land where the weekends last longer..!! I wish.. I wish that the dreadful work week won't have to start so soon..

Had a wonderful day today..

Went around Chinatown to get stuff for those creative juices that had been spilling out since long ago.. Just that i only get off my butt now to make a point to get the resources to start up. Then zipped off with Jude to cathay for a movie.. Monster house.. an animation.. the children in the show was cute but the show got a bit scary at some parts and then stupid near the end of it.. But overall.. an exciting show bah..

Then begins part II of the shopping spree.. I wouldn't say it's a shopping spree.. but there were end products from today's trip on the wet, sunny, humid Singapore.. Now i'm so tired and my legs are aching from those walk from shop to shop.. Haha..

Before we went into the cinema, we sat down on those huge, red, comfy couch outside the cinema.. Then i face to jude tell him something.. and i realised suddenly that it feels like we're in a steamboat.. You know, those charcoal kind hwere my grandmother still uses during CNY... And i felt like the fishballs or chicken that we dumped into the soup to cook them..

Here.. the evidence to my sudden realization....






..The STeamboat COuch..

I like..

Yes.. i like the tree and how it is rooted there majestically.. anyway.. i'm done for now.. eyes popping out liao.. Hehe.. Night night!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The green is making me sick..

Too much kueh lapis.. abit gelat..

The green is making me dizzy...

time to hit the sack.. Night!

pictures.. and more

Work has been kind of crazy for the past few weeks.. New at it.. Even though we had had those 5 weeks of training.. It just doesn't seem enough. There are still plenty of things to learn everyday.. Plenty of different kinds of passenger we hear everyday.. Plenty of questions and the all time favourite of passengers is "Can i extend my stay?"

What can i say? You are on a promotional fare and there are rules that apply (but they usually are willing to pay the change fee) and the seats that are available are usually limited.. So it's really difficult to find a day where you can get back to the place you want during this summer peak season.. And so we have to coax (hong3)/persuade them to call back again to check for any seats available.. Haha... Tough..

cos you need to do this in mandarin.. Multitask and do things fast.. which i got a few complains from the passenger i was talking to.. Haha.. Sometimes some customer will just speak their mind and those are the times when i feel most like shitting.. It gives me this wierd feeling.. and i just feel like going to the toilet right then.. Haha..Don't why too.. But i've learn to not take to heart what they say now..

Right.. here are some pics of my colleauges



Super agents group..


In the trianing room..


Four Pretty Girls on the last day of training


Debrief at the conference room

It's another week...

The last day of training has finally arrived.. Hahahaha!! We had pizza this time.. and some goodie bag. Was suppose to get my employee pass today but they weren't flown into Sin yet. Scheduled to arrive 2 weeks later.. From US.. haa.. It cost USD$100 for a lost pass.. And so does the headset they've given out. Oh and i'll get a certificate for completing the training course.. Yeah! It's self satisfying. Knowing you accomplish something.. The 5 boring weeks of "survival course and passing every assesment there is.

Was supposed to take calls by now but now think there's a change of plans.. Got other trainings to go through.. Some of the others took real calls and made a sale already... The thought of taking real calls seems scary.. I can see myself fumble through the call, really slow in searching for the details and really really slow in typing..Multi-tasking sucks! I think, though i haven't really tried taking real calls.. The first step would definitely be difficult. I'll do my best..Hee.. Some pictures taken...

Next time maybe.. Haven't got them all..

the school days

It feels like going back to school again..

One week of training down.. Left 4 weeks to go. It seems so long even for this week to past. But it was all good.. Though the long session of sitting in front of the computer all day plus taking in lots and lots of information but at the end of today, we all had sweet treats..

Haagen-dazs ice cream.. for eveyone!! Cool eh! Haha..

i guess this work environment is much less stressful with the laid back people around cos it's an american company but still will have the stressful side once we are actually taking in calls and keying in the details and stuff. plus some of the people there kind of competitive la so the stressis still around. We have quiz everyday and a graded assessment at the end of the week, which is today.. It was alright, i passed with not too bad grades.. haha.. Wish i could have those kind of grades for my assignments in school.. haha But anyway.. What i enjoyed most todaywas...

the ice cream treat!!

That's all for now..

Specially Dedicated To my BelOved BrotheR

We've moved house!! Moved on Sunday. Got the movers to help us with the work.. Part of it only. Why?

Because our dear mum don't trust the movers with her beloved porcelain plates and pots. Hence we went there on other days to remove all those stuff from the house. So far, the daily neccessities have been moved to our new house except for those unwanted stuff that are still left there. Going to make a trip down another day to get that done, beautify the Hougang house again for another viewing by the buyer and also to sign another appointment then it's done deal!

So enjoy some of the pictures here...


The living room.. with the 'I think they are the not so bad-looking lights' well lit up


Pardon the messiness of the house.. We're still in the midst of unpacking..
That's the dining area


I think it was a good buy on this TV set.. Was a good deal.. Comes with the home theatre..Though there's some defect with the TV but will check it out with the owner soon


Daddy's piece of Jungle out there on the planter.. Haha.. So much greens on the tiny platform!!


Your room just after the movers moved your stuff over.. Roomful of boxes!!


Room now.. AFter mummy unpacked some of your stuff into the wardrobe and cupboards


Master room.. Looks kind of empty.. But now it's better with the head board mounted on. Looks more complete..


My room.. Look empty? Cos all the stuff are right behind from where i was taking the pictures.. Haha.. Kind of remind me of my room in Australia.. A small cell.. cosy enough to live in.


Lastly.. the pool.. I've used it a few times already.. haha.. It's not too bad..

Oh.. and to update you, i think W. Hoo or someone asked dad to sponsor soccer jerseys.. Cos Schneider having soccer tournament.. So they printed this..



Here comes the STar Player of the year...

It's Mummy Kwek!!

Alright for now.. Going to let my ulcer heal and to stop my runny nose..
Weather here is terrible!! Just like living in a pressure cooker.. Haha..

Do You Know..

I read these somewhere and just wanted to share it.. Haha..

1. Turmeric, a spice that lends curries their yellow tint, can curb mental decline and even slow the effects of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers.

Researchers find it can effectively fight oxidation, the process behind a variety of bodily diseases. In the brain, oxidation trips up communication between brain cells, impairing general mental functions such as memory.

Over time, all the bodys organs undergo cumulative assaults from oxidation. But the brain is especially vulnerable to decline brought on by oxidation because it has particularly weak antioxidant defenses.
The brain has a built-in toxin mopper-upperthe gene hemeoxygenase-1, or HO-1but it must first be activated in order to do its job. Here is where turmeric pitches in. A research team from the University of Catania in Italy and from New York Medical College has found that curcumin, the key ingredient in turmeric, strongly induces HO-1 expression in the brains of animals, thereby rescuing neurons from oxidant destroyers.

2. Blackcurrants aid in the combat of oxidative stress too!!
Antioxidants contained in these berries could fight the oxidative stress that damages the brain cells and leads to Alzheimers and the oil of these blackcurrant seeds is shown to be effective in relieving arthritic pain.

3. Elevated glycin (an amino acid) level is good!!

Science behind it:
It acts as a muscle relaxant and a hippurate (a mild anti-inflammatory) which could soothe uterine contractions during your period. Glycine could be obtained from Chamomile Tea! A clinical trial showed that volunteers who drank at least 5 cups of chamomile tea daily, for 2 weeks, increase the glycine level in their urine samples.

So down Ribena and eat more spicy stuff to keep your brains in shape! Im drinking the ribena right now but not the spicy stuff.. Not at the moment as there is this extremely painful ulcer on my inner lips.. It has been there for days, almost a week now, and it is really, really painful! The pain feels like a thousand needles jabbed into my lip and also feels like it is bleeding profusely. Furthermore, the more painful it gets, the more numbed my lips feel.. It is just terrible! Right.. so that;s all folks. Till my next post. See ya! ; )

My Day

Alright.. So I got a job. Not related one.. Yup.. The job seems interesting so far. Will eventually know how it's like when I start on it. It's a Reservation Sales Agent. Sales? I’m not that sure how it all works. Wait till the training to know more about the job scope. I plan to work on it first while looking for what I really want to do.

So I was on my way to sign the letter of offer. It's just that. I guess things were quite clear in the package. Maybe just summarize it will do. But there's this uncle whom when we came to the benefits part kept asking lots of questions regarding that area. The benefits weren't too bad but they are actually deducted from your pay so is that a benefit? Maybe? Cause you could check the availability of seats and such.. Haha. So his intentions were very very clear.. He's just after that part of the benefits la!

Anyway we talked after the session and he confessed that he is really after what I've just stated. Hee.. Well I dare to complain about him because I'm not that into it. But maybe when time comes and I need that, it will be useful.

Alright for now. I'm going to memorize some stuff for the upcoming test.

The cock and Bull Story..


Someday this week, Someone messaged me.. Said I was a nice and pretty person (Well, thanks for the compliment. Im flattered) and wanted to let out a secret.. Then Someone went on to tell his problem, which was the secret, about part of his life story. I am glad to know that Someone is rather an openperson, willing to share about himself. But the thing is, if you are somebody I know long enough, it is good thing to update. Apparently, I do not know Someone that well, who also did all of the above. Furthermore, I really cant help Someone in anyway so
Why do you need to tell me all those extra information?
So superman was with me all these while. He saw what went on and came to my rescue. Hence Superman called Someone to ask him whats the problem with all these stories. Someone got defensive on hearing Superman's voice hence kept on chattering, not giving any chance for a counter. The last thing superman said was "Anymore of these and the police will be notified. " Haa.. And the line was cut off.
After awhile, Someone messaged back to warn me not to believe in any nasty rumors spread about Someone. So here are some conclusion to this case study:
1) I do not know anyone from that industry and how are they going to get my number to tell me all these
2) I strongly believe that no one would be that free to do all those things on Someone unless they are after all your property, which could lead to reason 3
3) Someone was just being paranoid, or suffering from the aftermath of a depression (I dont know how that works, but it could be the reason)
4) Or maybe Someone was just lonely. A lonely person spends much time to think about everything and anything or even plots to do something up to no good (Taken from the story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife)
5) Lastly, I feel just like the lonely person with much time here, sitting in front of the computer, typing all these nonsense to update past events.. Haha.. But at least I'm clearing the cobwebs away..

On my way to doing something useful out of this long session in front of the com. Night!

Choked by ThouGhts!!!

aRgHHH..

Finally got myself to sit patiently in front of the computer and update some stuff that happened.. Hee...

Firstly, the previous Sunday, was St Paul's Day.. The church 70th anniversary where Sheena and I were also in it together with another cell group mate chrissie.. Photos were definitely taken. However, almost all the photos were in pretty bad shape. Haha..But nevertheless will still let you have a glimpse of it.. I tried sharpening the pics and this is all i get la. More pictures to come i guess.. hopefully the photographer caught the other pics in Chrissie's cam.

Before the dinner, we had plenty of time to kill. Hence these happened..




Sheena's Partner in the middle


Choir with their angelic Singing


The children and their action song


Before the performance..


Chinese dance..


The final formation.. Yeah!!

Then it was last sunday where the 3 of us went to Sentosa.. On the way there, met Ailin's friends so we played volleyball for a while.. Bad choice but was quite nice.. Bad in terms of the oconsequences after that. We got bruised hands..






Where's the Buggy


There it is!!



Mushrooms:





Hiking up the Jungle trail..

That's all for now.. I'm Hungry.. Will go hunt for some food... in the house. Oh.. and thanks Eiko for the pressie.. So thoughtful of you..

A note for All Pedestrains!!

Haha.. SOunds like a serious warning but.. Pedestrains.. Please wera white or bright coloured clothings when you know you'll be staying out on the streets till late.. I'm being serious..


Just last night.. I couldn't see these two ladies crossing the road. I was turning right from a junction and they just popped out of nowhere suddenly. Didn't see them waiting to cross the road.. I braked immediately and also thank God they didn't walk that fast If not I oculd've knock them down. I think they also know that they shouldn't have dash out onto the road suddenly that's why when i say sorry, one of the lady mouthed "Mei Guan Xi" Hee.. Really is God who showed His mercy on us..

Clifford Pier is Closing today..

So sad.. though i don't go there often.. But it has a nice structure .. The oldie kind.. And it just happen that i was near that area a few days ago before i got news that it's closing. So i manage to get a shot of it.. Haha.. The picture wasn't clear cos these days i keep forgetting to bring my camera out.. I took it from a carpark, got the top view of the pier.. haha.. A funny angle..


Clifford Pier from the top..

The pictures from the tennis session:


Zz with a backhand


Jude jumping for the ball


Xz just finsh her shot


And Sheena preparing for the appropriate time to whack the ball.. Hehe.. Fun!!


Oh and for those who aren't in SIngapore right now.. It has been raining daily in the afternoons.. A thrunderstorm.. Well maybe not a major one but pretty bad cos for those driving on the road, you can't really make out if you were in your lane or not. Just had to depend on the lights from the cars in front of you to gauge. And there were slight floods at certain areas.. I witnessed it.. Haha.. Saw cars partially sub-merged in water due to over-flowing drains.. And roght now, the dark clouds are accumulating again.. looks like it's going to rain again..




And i got to eat at Boon Tong Kee..

I haven't been there since they upgraded the place.. Air-conditioned the place, and did these arty-farty crafts to their utensils, tablecloth etc.. And they even give us ferrero roche as dessert.. Service has improved hence pricing of the food increased too..

WorkOuT Day

Finally got to play tennis with sheena, xiuzhen, Zz and Jude yesterday. I realized that everytime we were supposed to play tennis, it will definitely rain. Thank God that the rain stopped by the time they got there. However, dad and I had to play in the drizzle. Haha! But we enjoyed it though we lost quite a few balls to the construction site. Another thing I realize.. was that it is so much easier to play double than singles.. Had to run 3x more in a singles game. Hehe! Think I’m exaggerating a little here.. But you get the idea. It is just really tiring to keep running left and right, to try cover as much of the court as possible. After like 15mins you feel so unmotivated to continue. Oh lastly.. I think my dad is an all-condition man.. Haha.. He went along with me for a short game of tennis in the drizzle even though he wore long sleeve shirt, pants and leather shoes yesterday. That's why an all-condition person. Anytime, any attire andy game.. He will be up to it.

Things that happened!

Haven't been posting anything.. though saw quite a few interesting things the past week.. Was busy with work in the office, work after office hour(which was an eye-opener) and also the dance practices and costume.. Pictures will say it all..





The amount of stuff that arrive on Friday!! It filled the whole office.. Had little space to move and to re-pack to reduce the number of boxes then wrap them properly for shipment..

Bad weather in Singapore.. The wind-less.. Humid hot weather.. Yucks!.. Complains.. complains.. Because after staying out for awhile.. i sweat so much and thereafter sweaty.. Eeewww..

Oh and then I went to 'help' Anthony... He's working at Singapore Fashion Festival.. Media stuff.. So he asked me to mingle around then collect name cards.. I dislike working for him. Will not do it again.. But this was an eye-opener.. Never been to such events... Never really like this kind of event.. Maybe for those journalists, fashion mag editor, designer crazed people.. I feel that some (or most) of the clothings can't really be worn on the streets... Maybe a few.. This Spring's collection is something frilly, light fluffy material like chiffon.. Haa.. Bright colours like orangey-gold.. yellow.. Good..

Yup.. So according to Anthony i should report to wirk by 7pm.. I was a little late cos of the traffic.. But then i got there and the registration staff told me he wasn't there yet. So i went in to wait for him.. I was given a pass and was guided towards the media waiting corner.. And i had champagne by myself while waiting.. Haha.. It tastes sweet.. Hee.. There are more pictures to come when i receivve and email from this reporter i met there..










Went for a little adventure on someday too.. Saw these little airplanes parked there.. Don't know if we went into some prohibited place.. but there wasn't anyone who came to shoo is out.. so we explored.. The planes parked therer just reminds me of this cartoon where the airplanes were able to talk to each other. And it seems like to me these planes in the picture can communicate with each other too.. Haha.. Don't know what they were saying when we got there..



An Eyewitness of post accident..
SCDF were there, a man on the stretcher with bandaged arm.. motorcycle overturned, ruined on the road


Don't know why it appears this small but i did zoom in while taking it.. Is there a problem with zooming?

Went to watch a movie today.. Failure to launch.. Not bad.. Not bad.. Then we took a Bus Ride home!! hee.. Jude wanted or thought it could be the longest ride.. Haha.. But we got AMK from Orchard in bout 35mins according to him.





Apple CrumBle

Made this together with Sheena for the previous cell group.. It tasted great.. Not too bad actually.. Though we had some comments about it.. Haa.. The rest enjoyed it.. Hee.. The same day we made choc pudding too.. But was a failure i think.. After that i baked it for almost an hour and it was rock hard initially but soften with days.. Haha..
