Mooncake festival

No more sgforums outing this year. hehe..

The haze is terrrrrible!!!
Jingli and i took a walk down esplanade and within a few mins, our eyes got itchy, throats dry and i was trying hard to catch my breath.

The small small moon....

Lanterns at Esplanade

jingli trying to take a shot of me,
she hates me.

After that, we went Marina sq and decided to go for shoulder massage.
Went kenko. Shiok.
and there's 15% discount somemore. keke..
Way better than the chinese medical hall who tried to cheat us!

Haze's terrible.. even citylink looks hazy.
my god.

Expo again

Went Expo 4 times in a month!
Wasn't fun... so crowded!

Met up with drey and jingli. Drey suddenly became clever and suggested lunch b4 heading to the crowded place. So, we went din tai fung @ tampines. First time see jingli eat so many bao. Like first time see her eat so much also..

Went to the Women expo.
BORING!
It's the expected pushy sales pple.
And i am NOT interested in ur simi free 10 mins facial ok!

The poor insurance agents also kena a few times from me.
"Insurance? Not interested"

Free thai massage? That's the only thing that interest me. But i dun wanna be shiok for 10 mins and kena ear and mental torture for the next 15 mins.
So, we skipped that too.

The only things i bought there? What else.. mask again!
Hahaha... I did a count. Have about 30 mask sheets at home now... and more to come..
Overall a boring fair.
Yawn.

Next: Natas fair
After paying the $3 and before stepping in, i have already collected a bag almost full of brochures. It was not as crowded as i thought. Maybe we were still consider early. Hehe..
I've collected lotsa brochures, for inspiration on my trip. But think most are useless.


The buses at Natas..
We took fiakstars before.. where got so nice buses leh...

After natas really buay tahan liao. We needed somewhere quiet......
We went changi airport for a drink.
Kan! Even that place is so crowded!
Everywhere was full and we have to settle for swensens. And we had to sit next to a table of noisy kids.
Happy children's day hor!

Adrian came and joined us for a while..
it's been a long time since drey and i last saw adrian.
Jingli is right.. he's still the same. no change at all lor!
cheem. How he bao yang..

--

It's finally october.
Sept has been a terrible month. right from the start of sept, health is like shit.
recurring illness, shoulder-ache, backache, fever, cold, cough... cough non-stop!
the last 2 weeks were damn stress.. it seems like i'm in another world, i dunno what i'm doing or thinking.. only negative thoughts.

*pray* that things will get better.

T13 long time no meet outing

Not bad! We didn't take long to organise this outing.
There were some last min. changes to the location for dinner..

We went Ichiban Boshi at wisma. Very full.
So very full!!

After dinner programme.
We can't decide between Goodwood and Mandarin.
"who wants to go goodwood, raise up ur hands?" i asked.
bo lang raise.
"so mandarin?"
mandarin lah.

Can't believe i still have to use primary school method to decide a location.
So, Meritus mandarin we went.

It's been like.. ermm... 4-5 years since i last went Observation lounge i think?
We took the wrong lifts! (not the first time for me...)
38th floor!!

Taken with drey's camera phone..

that's me besides me

*pop out* I want to be in the pic!~

MUST be able to see me ok!

Labbit came over and joined us after his dinner with whale.
Lovely whale bought me godiva chocs again!! :D

The start of another round of seminars...

It's going to be another round of seminars once a month from now till next march.
We started it off with a joint seminar with CNI at Raffles city convention hall.
Terrible leh.
We did all the setup, all the registration, all the clearing up...
what have they done?

Tea-break for the guests.. usually will have a lot left for us to eat lor! kekekeke.

oops.. caught Est on camera adjusting her pants.. keke

I think the speaker gained more attention than anyone else. hahaha! It was a great turn-up!! Everybody's interested in IR!

Was damn tired after this whole thing..

Went labbit's colleague's place to collect our 2 speakers. SO damn heavy. Almost 5kg each box. Makes me lagi more tired...

Quite disappointing...

Harry's bar @ Esplanade...

it's not the same as before anymore...

Awww.. fantastic goal!

What a spectacular goal!

Scored at his half! So damn far...

My Alonso is simply fantastic!!!!!

J's Salon

Finally hor... it's one of the shops in my list, for like a few months liao.
Wanted to try out Snails today, but it's so fiaking ex! $42??? No wonder it's a taitai's place.

J's!!
We thought it's at goodwood itself, simi sai.. make us walked and walked.......

Just nice huh, 2 comfortable pedicure chairs.
I must say the pedi is so damn good, but.. (why is there always a but????), the massage so so only lah. Besides that, every other steps are thorough and simply fantastic.
Good good....
*notes down in little black book*

Now, where's next on the list....

Sakae

Met RB and Joseph at west mall and this is the 3rd time i'm eating Sakae in 4 days!!!

Bugis Beatles on TNP

Click to enlarge!~

SPOT THAT FACE!

It's on TNP today page 70!!
Upbeat Beatles sia...

Brought the paper to my temps... "see any familiar face?"
Both point and laughed.
LOL.

Pretty interesting article.
And the last part is fantastic.
Was stunned..
ninpeh.
HAHAHA!!

Singapore Dreaming

from the creators of Talkingcock.com...

Isn't funny like their first movie lah of coz, this is a more serious show.
simi lunchbox...
makes me feel like watching "talkingcock the movie" again!
chao cheesebun!
*chirp chirp*

A very typical singaporean style of show. All about the family drama on buying lottery, owning debts, family quarrels, maids, poor jobs, lousy overseas degree....

But it is not easy to buy toto every week and win 2 million so easily lah. And win liao must donate at least 20% ok... or else will kena mishaps. LOL.
I was expecting a series of bad things to appear in the movie after the toto but never expect him to die instead.

And CK needs to brush up his mandarin lah!! Can die laughing just by listening to him talking. HAHA!

To me, i like the ending lah. Each of them deserves what they get in the end.
Guess it's a happy ending afterall, to suit every singaporean's taste.

Expo

Went Expo with mom to the food fair and John little sales.
SO damn crowded. Expected lah.. but mom wanted to go leh, bo bian..

We were in the food fair when we heard the sibei loud thunder. Everybody goes 'woah' and stare at one another.

But the walk from hall 5 to 3 is terrible. Raining heavily and human jam. faint ah!
We decided to use our umbrellas and braved thru the rain. Was almost half wet when we reached hall 3. KNS.

The John Little sales isn't as crowded. Heng ah.
Didn't buy much.. except.. what else?
Just 2 more masks to my 'collection'..

Photoshooting with TNP

Their once in a lifetime experience ok...

The NewPaper is going to feature labbit's team, Bugis Beatles on next fri's paper! Hurhurhur!!
Going to be 2 pages long i think.. must buy and frame!!

So, most of them went down today, fully geared for the photo-shoot..

The photographer in pink.. hehe...

All abt Liverpool... and England..

Watched a few matches these few weeks..

Chelsea Vs Liverpool
Shefield United Vs Liverpool
Everton Vs Liverpool

and... euro qualifier one..
England Vs Ahlankuku Andora: 6-0

I tot this match was pretty ok liao lor.. coz England's match was always boring.
But Andora never attack, watch liao also sian.
And BTH that Crouch. He seems to perform anywhere except Liverpool.

wah lau! Liverpool has been kan suay recently.
Risse injured again! He really very poor thing lah. What can i say.

Funniest thing was Orlaylio kena the ball hit on his face twice by his fellow team mates..
HAHAHHAHAHA!! Joker leh!! I just couldn't stop laughing after the 2nd hit..
I dun really like him leh.

Aurelio Vs Zidane

He has got this dreamy cum blur look (zidane also have dreamy look, but zidane more handsome leh). Kena hit on the face and still the same blur look. BTH.

Just wasn't liverpool's day. What a frustrating match.

TCM

I still HATE ACUPUNCTURE!!!

should have insisted on tui na... argh!!

and again...

Can't believe i kena it again! Twice within 2 months!

PUI!!

Toto also never so zhun....

The Devil Wears Prada

Andrea is so sexy in that show. Woo hoo! *drools at her figure*

I love this show.

It really reminds me soooo much of lee! I guess all bosses think and act the same way.

The way Miranda talks, the way she gave orders, her impatience, everything is just so much like lee. They talk the same thing! They dun wait for you to listen to your explaination... they will cut you halfway while you talking... they will complain on why everybody can't seems to get things done. You dun argue back. Becoz if you do, things will be worse for you in future.
They will remember only the bad things you've done and drilled you dry.

Office environment is always tense with them ard.

Another similar thing.... they always think everybody will want to be like them.
To be successful (in career).
But they dun seem to know that they are neglecting their family.
Hey, lee also huh! i mean.. her whole family is in aust now except her!

And oh, they will always know what is happening around them. Even the darkest secret.
Best of all, they will always know how to tackle the problem.
Ain't they just great.

I whined a lot too.
And i am still surviving... at least for now nia.

Janice Tan's quote: If you can survive with this kind of boss, you can survive with any other boss elsewhere.

Comex 06

hurhurhur!

Going to this kind of fair always qi si ren.
Everything is just cheaper than those i bought last yr! KNS!
Always the case.. always leh!!!
Now with the same price and even lesser, i can get a chio chio LG monitor lor!

And of coz, the heartache is..

T10!!

- Its cheaper than T9.
- ISO up to 1000
- Double super steady shot, which i've tried..... wah lau... of coz better than my T9.
- improved menu, slightly nia lah... with text.

duno wat else... but the super steady shot is steady enough.
not as if T9 doesn't have... but it's not as steady lah!

Why can't Sony do a trade in huh!!!
I want to trade in T9 to T10!!
Booo hoo hooo!!

IHFEC

uh huh... it's a healthcare fair.. yah...
NTU is having a booth there... uh huh..

But why the heck must we be there too!!
Sibei out of the place.
But come to think abt it, i can skipped work in the morning... also not bad lah.

Our ugly booth.
Co. like Hyflux, etc.. so chio ok..

It's the opening ceremony lor. Nothing much to do really.
We even went to watch the ceremony.



And omg! RI's chinese orchestra rockz!!!!! Indeed is award winning band. Dun play play.
Esp the wang fei hong song... fantastic!

Balaji came and shook hand with all of us at the booth..
and I went off 1 hour earlier than the stated time.
Dun care lah. Boring.

Nail Palace

Newly opened branch at JP. I went to the one at Bencoolen years back and tot it was pretty ok...

Wah lau!! Dun see from outside like very small hor....
I went in and got a shock.
I did a count and there's 20 pedicure chairs.
20 leh!! Never been to such big one b4.

But i was damn suay lor.
The pedicurist was talking non-stop. Others were doing their job quietly..... why mine so talkative!!
Kept pushing me products to buy!!! NON-STOP!!!
When i said no, she kept going on and on.... on why we should protect our toes, etc etc.
I said i've tried those creams for cracking heels but they were useless. She dun get the hint and kept saying theirs are different.
Then she pushed 3 boxes of cream to my hands and asked me to choose one.
WTF?
I put all the 3 boxes on the other chair.

Till a point where i canot tahan anymore..
i said "hey, ur pedicure is very expensive leh... $36 with no exfoliation??? All the others i went have and they are only $30 or $33."
she kept quiet....
a few secs later... she said "we uses O.P.I and not some cheapo brands"
I almost burst out laughing "ALL the places i went uses O.P.I"
she kept quiet again.
KNS LEH!!

Still not over ok.
When i was waiting for nails to dry, she came over "Let me introduce to you our packages"
*faint*

me: I dun wan packages. i like to go ard visiting different places.
bitch: yes, i understand... but we are having opening promotion. you buy 5 times now, we give u 2 times FREE!
me: thanks, but i'm not interested.
bitch: *took out calculator* see, now ur pedi is $36 per visit, if you buy this package, it's only $25!
me: i still prefer to visit different places.
bitch: oh, we have 7 branches for u to choose from!

me thinking: kan! really damn cheap! but i dun like the service..... so i replied..
me: BUT u dun do exfoliating
bitch: oh.
me: i dun wan. thanks.
bitch: but for $25, no exfoliation ok mah.....
me: how much is ur exfoliation?
bitch: oh, u just need to top up $10.......
me: HUH! $10???? Isn't that as expensive?????
bitch: err.. ok lah! still cheap la.. buy 5 get 2 times free leh!
me: i dun wan.. thanks
bitch: can lah! very cheap leh! buy lah
me: dun wan, thanks.
bitch: buy lah.. *POUT LIPS*
me: *in shock* but i dun wan!!!
bitch: *stare at me with pitiful eyes* can lah... buy lah

simi sai!! BTH!!!
i banged the tables and shouted "I REALLY DUN WANT!!!!!"
at this pt, everybody turned and looked at us.
bitch: ok...
and she walked away

FIAK!
Such a nice place with fiaking bad service!!!
Such a waste!!
Not going to Nail Palace ever again!
7 branches so wat!
NOT GOING TO ANY ONE OF THEM EVER AGAIN.

The Balcony

Jingli and i checked out the balcony bar today. We head straight to the 2nd storey for a drink. It was still pretty empty with lotsa seats for us to choose.

We sat somewhere near to the whirlpool. I have heard so much abt it but it was quite a disappointment. so small nia! You can sit at the edge of the pool and bio bikini babes if any. No luck for us.

I have heard of how bad the service there was and warned jingli abt it before we went.
I thought it was quite alright leh..

- The waitress greeted us with a smile and politely asked us our preferred sitting area. (+5)

- Someone came over in plain clothes asking us the drinks we want. Not waiter hor! Could be the boss or wat... he even patiently explained to us the mixture of the drinks and made some recommendations. (+10)

- he came with the drinks overspilled on the floor and kept apologising. (ok lah, at least got apologise) (+5)

Ok mah!! What's with all the bad remarks abt their services leh..?

We were enjoying out drinks and chicken wings halfway when the waiter came over and showed us our bill. We stared at him and jingli said "but we didnt ask for the bill".
He stood there, dare not looked at us with the bill still on his hand.
Kan.
I took out my discount card and voucher.... and he asked "what is this?"
*faint*
(-20)

but hor... it was still a nice place overall lah.
plus, it was a windy night... damn shiok.
will be back again some time...

Random thoughts

I have been so lazy to blog. By the time i reach home every nite, it's just enough time for bathing, masking, surfing and sleeeep..

Getting old and seriously can't recall what i've done for the past week. Shall post whatever came to my mind first..

Dvds which we've watched
- scary movie 4
- date movie
- 16 blocks
- shallow hal (on tv)
and i think there's still 1-2 more.... cannot rem leh....

~~~

labbit and i went pepper lunch last week. Argh.. i find the food still as bad.
Not going to step inside there ever again.
We also went for the baby fair at taka and bought gift for his niece's bday.
I bought a duck.
BTH lah!! The mouth was soooo cute, i will laugh whenever i looked at it.
The duck is on top of my webcam now so that i can look at it every now and then at home.

~~~

had a small promotion and increment at work....
but it doesn't turn out to be a happy event... esp among colleagues.
felt much better after a talk with rachel.
still stress though.

~~~

Met up with lynn, rb, joseph, jingli and back to Asian Kitchen.
I had my pork ramen as usual and boy! It's still damn delicious!!!
I love the soup!

~~~

Went Starhub centre's Waraku with labbit.
Had my nabeyaki udon..QQ de mee.... but overall, so so only. Not the best i've eaten.
nabe.. hard to find one nice nabeyaki nowadays.
Labbit's one looks more appetizing though.

Greatest joke of the year by Mr Brown's production - Mai hum
It was hilarious!
I laughed and laughed and laughed......was almost out of breath.
I was still laughing after the 2nd or 3rd time listening. BTH!
It's been a long time since i laughed so hard.
hmmm... not too long lah. The last one was labbit's 'clean clean' magic.

Jingli and i love my humps lor. hahaha!! recalled the nites where we used to listen this song again and again and again........ and even to and fro work, my ipod will always be this song... till i decided to use it as ringing tone.
A lot of pple have been asking me when my phone rang "eeek, why your ringing tone so funny one?"
HAHA!
Have stopped using the tone ever since i attended the coldplay concert.
And now, i'm listening to it again!!!!!
Zapit!

The Jurong Lake Park

We decided to go to the Lake park today to check out the kayaking! Woo hoo!!
We blur blur took the MRT to chinese garden and realised the entrance should be at lakeside.... so, we took back another stop.

It was a long walk. Along the way, there were nice views of the lake. And to my amaze, there's a lot more things in the park.

Some which i can rem:
- children's playground
- senior citizen corner (labbit's corner)
- adventure sports zone (not as expected)
- open ball field (what a BIG goal post!)
- pet's corner (no see any pets)
- fishing jetty (which we didn't go... too tired liao lah!)

Wheeee!

Climbed very high ok!! I have to zooooom in to take the pic!
And yeah right. How come the background of the tree maciam very ground level as labbit.....

He cannot resist the webs.....

He say very painful on the feet wor.. but still can smile till so happy..

We walked and walked and walked.. in search of the kayaks till we reached Chinese Garden!

The twin towers!

Confucius statue

wanted to see the tortise, but there were closing soon and we still have to pay $5 each. Dun want! Hmpf.. !

It wasn't really a planned trip. All we want is just to find the kayaks.. Sob.
We can't find them but found lotsa other things in the park.
When we are finally out of the park, we are at Yung Ho liao!!
From lakeside MRT to Yung Ho... *Sweat*

Happy Birthday mom!!

We had our steamboat dinner at home as usual. Labbit came over and we ate with the newly bought steamboat by labbit!

The national day parade is boring as usual. Labbit fell asleep while watching..
I fell asleep while watching that every year too.
After the parade, we went westmall for movie with RB and Joseph.


It's funny! The dogs and the duck are cute.
Of coz there wouldn't be such a remote control in life. But if there is, will i want one?

If only i can fast forward just once a day. Or the remote which states "for work only". How nice! Then i can skip all my time in the office. I thought it was quite a nice and meaningful show though not practical.
It's gets a bit sad at the end of the movie.. i nearly shed tears even though the ending was damn expectable.

Not bad and quite entertaining for a movie which does not require much brain juice.

ONS

Decided to take the day off.
Went Suntec for my foot reflex... and on the way there, i saw the DHL balloon again, damn upclose.

I have already taken so much pics of this balloon!

Acc labbit for his quick dinner before i went off to meet jingli. We decided to go One Nite Stand. We reached clarke quay, just in time to 'listen' to the fireworks at marina bay. The buildings blocked the view, argh. Can listen cannot see... what a terrible feeling.

Went in ONS early and found a great seat, just in front of the live band.
The live band was great lor! Great songs and they got the crowd going and going... plus, the lead singer is humourous too. I also bio-ed the pretty female singer the whole nite. keke.
The crowd was mainly black-skinned and angmoh. But i must say they are really the entertainment of the nite. We see all kinds of funny pple on the dance floor, great dancers, funny dancers, drunkards..

A great nite for 2 boring ladies. Heh.

Fireworks - Italy team

was damn tired and slept like a pig....

had to wake up... labbit's gonna work today.
so, just nice lah.. we can see the fireworks at nite at tat area too.

We went up marina sq's foodcourt and was damn lucky to find one outdoor seat!

The Italy's team.

It's not really that fantastic.. rem that the France team were better.
It was soo damn crowded lor! Even going toilet is troublesome. Last yr's boat trip was better... money spent, but without crowd. Tot it was stupid last yr, but now, i think that's fantastic.

Heng going home wasn't too much of a problem.
