the SCM'2010

The Standard Chartered Marathon 2010.

even though it's juz a 10km run, i muz be nuts to sign up for it. i can swim 10km, but i can't run! but oh well, since it's not how we started but how we end the race (literally), i have to put aside any "possible" reasons for not turning up, and to actually turn up for the race indeed. -.-

oh God, give me the strength to complete this race (literally)!

my birthday present from W378!

♥ yay! for my 21st birthday for the nth time, i am getting greater surprises from the CG!

well apparently, the Husband said he spotted angie at the artbox shop when i entered, but i was too engrossed with the assortment of schedulers to notice her... restrospectively, i reckoned she was the one who's tasked to get the cake!

yea, i got a green looking cake, even after i finished i still dunno wat's the flavor of it. so conclusion... GREEN = GREEN TEA. haha... (no pic, cos it was devoured v quickly by the Husband... i ate the macaron though!)

♥ and there's flowers! i lurve flowers! yay!

♥ and my pressie... tadah! (note: iPad not included). but i lurve it! cos it's PINK!♥ oh... and did i mention, it came together with my LV paper bag! hahaha tis is super hilarious! Thank God it was not spelt wrongly, else it would be "made in china" liao...

♥ THANKS w378! YOU GUYS ROCK! ♥

the day after a public holiday

i thought that a public holiday in the middle of the week sounded real cool. after all, it denotes a break from the FIVE day workweek.

i was wrong. it's thursday today and i'm in the office feeling like ''why are there 2 mondays this week?!"

and it doesn't help that two of my colleagues are at off-site meetings, while another one is in reservist. that leaves me to suffer the harsh cold from the not-so-smart air conditioning system.

nonetheless, i am indeed counting down to the end of the day. hopefully, the SMRT system will not be as crowded today than any other days. =\

CURRENT MOOD: VERY BLUE

JOY is BMW

managed to also catch the BMW World exhibition in its final moments on sunday!

registration itself was a pretty awkward situation...
staff: "would you like to schedule a test drive with BMW?"
me:
option 1: "erm, i have a driving license but i cant drive!"
option 2: "muz i pay for the car if i get into an accident?"
and i opted for option 3: "better not... ... (with a sheepish smile)"

~arrr! JOY IS BMW!~

~cars galore! they're selling the EXPERIENCE!
and a suspicious pram in the foreground. maybe it's BMW manufactured too...~

~my fav at the moment M3!~

~and this intriguing gotham city lookalike car, which i tink no one in their right frame of mind will ever get one of such cars....~

~even the backside looks weird~

~"i promise i will get a BMW for the Husband! this one..."~

~and finally, one of the street buskers, smarter than the ones at orchard road... after all MBS is sheltered and air conditioned. =)~

cycling at UBIN!

honestly, i havent been to ubin via the proper manner (ie the $2.50 ferry) before. the last time i went which was aeons ago, i was sabo-ed into thinking that a "leadership camp" was all about leading... and while the canoe ride the last time round was fun, it was easier to travel by ferry, ha.i was thankful that i still remembered how to cycle and to keep myself from falling. the skies didnt show favor upon us though and rained shortly after our wild adventurous ride. sought shelter at a nearby near-to-desolate exhibition room. played some games and entertained ourselves for a while.

food at ubin were also not v appetising... zzz. it's a whooping $8 for a plate of seafood (minimal) fried rice! but since we were caught in the rain. too bad. juz had to settle for food and drinks.

~the very garang ladies~

~the men!~

~a pic we muz always take when there are alot of us and when we have nothing to do~

the age old war in advertisements

There's another one from M1 (u know the one with the colors orange, red and green?) haa, there's no improvement without competition i suppose. gotta commend these pple on creativity!

happy birthday...

my first bday (e)card came a tad too early, a little insincere as im pretty sure tis has been sent to every customer, but it does cheer me up a lil today. =)

The Social Network

I have to say, the social network called Facebook has indeed changed our lives, in one way or another.

Boon or bane, u decide. :)

Carebears of the world unite!!!

You Are Funshine Bear

You are extremely playful and fun loving. You love to goof around and tell jokes. You don't take anything seriously, and you feel like most people are too somber. You remind others that life should be celebrated. You bring the party with you. You are hilarious and a kick to be around. Good times always start with you.

What Care Bear Are You?

说了再见。。。

天涼了　雨下了　你走了
清楚了　我愛的　遺失了
落叶飘在湖面上睡著了

想要放　放不掉　泪在飘
你看看　你看看不到
我假裝過去不重要　卻發現自己辦不到

說了再见　才發現再也見不到
我不能就這樣失去你的微笑
口紅待在桌腳　而你我找不到
若角色對調你說好不好

說了再见　才發現再也見不到
能不能就這樣忍著痛淚不掉
說好陪我到老　永恒往哪裡找
再次擁抱一分一秒都好

你的笑　你的好
腦海裡　一直在繞
我的手　忘不了　你手的溫度
心碎了一地　撿不回
從前的心跳　身陷過去我無力逃跑

說再見　才發現再也見不到
能不能就這樣忍著痛淚不掉
說好陪我到老　永恒往哪裡找
再次擁抱一分一秒都好

live with your fears!

dream a lil dream!

You are a Dreamer

You tend to have your head in the clouds. You love to be drawn in to a whole other world. You are a sensitive person. You find it easy to be emotionally effected by books. You are a person with many different interests. You are fascinated by everything in the world. You are a person who loves to acquire possessions. You can't resist a sale, and you own a lot of things.

The Book Test

I *heart* my mommy!

Went back home for awhile today... And mommy bought me THREE boxes of bird's nest! Bread for breakfast tmr which I totally forgot to bring back... And a Hello Kitty cushion! Yay!

friends at work

nope, i aint giving up the thought of looking for a new job (or being headhunted as some BHB ex-coworkers may put it). but it's juz that, while we are at the current job, it doesnt hurt to be friends with our colleagues.

I LOVE MY COLLEAGUES!

Lose weight? Sleep more!

Excerpted from the Straits Times:

WASHINGTON - DIETERS looking to shed more fat and feel less hungry while they do it may benefit from a few more hours in bed, according to a new study.

Dieters lost the same amount of weight whether they slept for a full night or fewer hours, but those who got more sleep lost more fat and they also felt less hungry while awake, according to the study, which appears in the Oct 5 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.

'If your goal is to lose fat, skipping sleep is like poking sticks in your bicycle wheels,' said Plamen Penev, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Chicago and the director of the study.

'Cutting back on sleep, a behavior that is ubiquitous in modern society, appears to compromise efforts to lose fat through dieting. In our study it reduced fat loss by 55 per cent,' Mr Penev added.

The study, undertaken by the University of Chicago's General Clinical Resource Center, tracked 10 overweight but healthy volunteers aged 35 to 49.

The participants had body mass indexes ranging from 25, which is considered overweight, to 32, which is considered obese.

See?! I'm right about sleeping more!!!!!

Note to The Husband: STOP waking me up prematurely!!!!
