A 'sour' sunday

My shoulders are aching like shit. So sour.

We girls decided to go for our aerobics class today since we missed it on thursday. stupid amara staffs, so 'attitude'. but i felt very song that we also gave them attitude. hehehe

We headed Suntec after the aerobics.
Lynn went for her foot reflex, qoo went for her pedicure and i went for eyebrow trimming. Wanted to do pedi but i just had it done 2 wks ago.. wanted to go mani, but i just cut my nails last week.

Qoo and i went to this mini IT fair at suntec and she was bioing the red samsung laptop.
$4k sia.... chio indeed, but definitely not worth it.
I hope she won't buy on impulsiveness.

And after everything, we went harbourfont to meet up with labbit and the guys who went sentosa.
It's been quite a while since i last saw pple like joho, spear and weee...
Nice to meet up with the usual faces sometimes.

And my aching's getting worse..

no more pms!

Pmsss

PMS. PMS... and still PMS...plus sibei sleeeepy..

Met up with labbit after work to expo for the food fair. Wah, indeed 'lotsa' food...
We tried the laksa and sharkfin's soup.
Labbit suggested going to marina parade for my foot reflex since we were already at east side.
Ok lor, since mine was delayed for a week, it's time for some massaging.

This time round was a torture. The stupid uncle seems to use all his bull force on my poor feet. And the guy who did a great job the other time was klkking in front of me.. sob..
Besides using all the force, he even told me how handsome he was when he was young...the job he was in, the women who were interested in him, his late marriage, his wife, his children, etc etc etc.. *pengz*

Now i wonder if i still dare to go back there again...

Bangkok - Day 4

Sigh.. time to pack and go.
We did some last minute shopping and get more gifts.


Us at thailand airport.... bye bye!

The darn flight was delayed for an hour..

And of coz, we need to take a bus before we can catch our plane! All the kiasu pple were standing at the door of the bus, waiting to get off first and catch the best seats.
Ooops.. we 'accidently' stood at the door.
heng we were at the front door. The back door wasn't open. Poor them.. really poor them.

~~~~~

Misc.

I miss baiyoke sky most. And the river tour! haha.
We have our meals 3 times at baiyoke's cafe....with 2 times on the same table.
And during the 3rd time, the waiter came up to us and said "Same table?"
We chose a different table. I like the pianist. Was really enjoying to his music while having my dinner.

The traffic. Really pei fu those drivers. They can drive thru any small lanes. ANY. And pple were walking like nobody's business... the car wheel can run over their feet anytime man.
The zebra crossing is transparent to the thais. Never trust the zebra crossing.
Often heard how tuk tuk ride was dangerous.. but I thought the ride was fun!

Some misc pics....


I purposely took this pic for lynn and qoo..... outdoor aerobics, with the instructor in blue!!



I'm driving a tuk tuk!!!! (ignore the background)
ok, this is at the observatory level of baiyoke sky.... think it's on the 77th floor.



The penguins i bought!
i bought 2 tshirts, 2 tops, one blusher and 2 face masks. hahahaha.... a failed shopping trip.



The gifts i bought...
and i also bought t-shirts for ma and di.. and a belt for pa.


Thanks labbit for the trip.......
I'm gonna miss thailand!

Bangkok - Day 3

Time to move hotel. It's a shopping day! And labbit wanted to stay in Pathuwan so much, we decided to change hotel to accommodate the shopping trip too.
Pathuwan Princess is so popular becoz of it's accessibility to MBK. It's another 4 star hotel but... but.. but....... it really is a downgrade as compared to Baiyoke sky.

But then again, we were staying in a standard room in pathuwan. The deluxe room could have been better. So, it's unfair to compare too.
Who knows, baiyoke's standard room is the same as pathuwan's.

We stayed on the 27th floor, and it took longer time to get up than we were on the 66th floor in baiyoke. See how slow it is!!
Hehe.. but nvm, i love the bed and pillows!!


Our messy room...


And i can see baiyoke sky from my room!! ahhhhhhhh!! baiyoke...
Besides baiyoke sky is the colourful baiyoke suite hotel.


The swimming pool. There's even 2 jacuzzi which i didn't have the chance to try. sigh..


And this is their famous poolside restaurant.. "Loop" which is pool spelled backward.

Today is basically shopping and shopping and more shopping. And i think i'm buying more gifts than buying the things i want for myself.
The shopping centre in town isn't really that great. I think i prefer Pratunam shopping centre.

Labbit brought me for a walk down the road to almost the Novotel hotel area. We went in this cow cafe... It's a cute cafe. kekeke.. esp the signs on the toilet. Damn! Why i never take pictures!
Then hor..... at nite we realised MBK also have the cow cafe. hahaha.. make me walk so far. (ok lah, not really that far) :P

We went to the Noodle bar for dinner.. Noodi.
Their mee with soup are very nice. My spaghetti errr... yucks. Maybe i'm not used to the cheese there.
And our supper. KFC! so so nia.. nothing special. It's the same as singapore.
Think malaysia's KFC is still the best.

Another tiring day. I need a damn good foot reflex!

Bangkok - Day 2

We went to a lot of places today. River tour, Grand Palace, Chinatown and see ah gua show.


But before that, we had our nice buffet breakfast at the 76th floor.
And again, nice view!


Nice food! I had a healthy breakfast of eggs, ham, bacon, tomatoes, potatos, soup, salad.... etc etc etc! I simply love their vege... so damn crispy.




We booked the river tour trip thru the hotel. They diam diam want us to take floating market tour instead. Tmd.... 1/2 hr travel to and fro the market plus 45 mins of shopping there. Kns. Out to earn their commission thru our shopping!!
Heng we stick to our river tour... it was really really nice. And here's longtail boat we took..






The Chao Praya River!

Some of the pics we took during the tour - typical house and floating market on the river. We also saw quite a few temples along the river.



There was this point where the boat will stop and tourists can purchase bread to feed the fish. So many of them..... and man, they are big! We got splashed a few times by them. keke..
and here's labbit feeding the fish.

---

The Grand Palace.





It's the major attraction in bangkok.

All the buildings are a lot a lot a lot more beaufiful when i look at them there. I hate the weather. It was so damn hot when we were there. And we have to observe the dress code...
There were a few halls in the whole compound and all exquisitely decorated in gold.

We also went to the museum where we saw the thing used in the palace. They were all in gold! Be it plates, bowls, belts, handkerchief, etc etc.. everything has got gold on it. The amulets which they bring to war consists of various gems and gold! gez.

---

We never take any pics at chinatown but we had a delicious lunch there. keke
After chinatown, we returned to the hotel and rest before we head for our ah gua show!


The Calypso Cabaret @ Asia Hotel


The geisha show is the funniest!
I never expect such a small hall.. i had expected it to be so much bigger. But then, it's good lah.. coz i can see each and everyone faces clearly! kekeke...

It was a tiring day.... Went back hotel room and slept like a pig.

Bangkok - Day 1

First time taking budget airline! haha.. was quite an experience.
The plane was really small... no food provided of coz. They do sell.. well, cup noodles. keke..
And becoz it's free sitting, everybody's kiasu mode was on. All can't wait to get on plane asap to get the best seats.

After alighting the plane, we still have to take a bus to the right terminal. hahahaha... simi sai!

First day was light. We checked in hotel and went chatuchak. It was drizzling.. but i kinda prefer that to the hot weather. There was really a lot of things to see... even pets! Those cute, little poor puppies.. how i wish i can buy all of them!

We've tried quite a few transport mode today. Taxi, MRT, skytrain and tuk tuk.
And boat tmr! kekeke..
We ended the nite with a walk around the hotel and rested early.
Just can't resist staying in the room moreeee!











Thailang Thailand Tallest Hotel! (mistake spotted by drey)
Our room! I'm sooo happy! It's really a big deluxe room on the 66th floor.
I didn't really expect it to be so big and nice, esp when the pics suck at the website itself.

It's so comfortable, i can stay inside the room whole day!


Our spectacular view from the windows/glass panels.
The whole wall made up of 8 columns of glass panels from ceiling to floor makes me almost faint when i stepped into the room.
I only rem i kept saying "Hao mei ah!! hao mei ah!!"*drools*



Labbit's coffee corner. hahaha.. he basically sat there for coffee and smoke break every now and then..


We had a fun time just to take a nice pic of this pose using the timer. hahhaha
We tried at least 6 times before we got it ermm... right. kekeke..



Revolving Roof Deck on the 84th storey! I'm glad we went up. sibei nice de outdoor view. heng the wind wasn't strong enough to blow me away.


And i took this from the deck..

Most of the pics were taken on day 2.

Staying in Baiyoke Sky is my wish come true!
Thanks labbit!

You Ni Jiu You Wo!

Today's aerobics sucks. Lots of turning ard, making me giddy.... plus no mood. So, not much jumping or sweating. Wasted my one hr.
Qoo was totally the opposite of me. First time see her sweat so much wor! Heh.
Lynn still the same... forever the same.
i want the male instructor!!

Just watched Superstar.
Voting for the contestants is always something i find extremely bo liao, waste of money and utmost childish!!!



But i voted Kelly.
Love her sm:)e
Love her singing
She's the only one i find with no difficulties in controlling her voice at all. And she always sing thru damn smoothly.
I hope she will win the superstar title!
Her points sibei de high.. i wonder if anyone will still vote. argh...
go go go!

Expected case

I've guessed as much.

I'm not sure how to contact her. Her emails are not working, i lost her HP number, she's forever not online in msn. Maybe i should try ICQ?

I see this day coming. I know i'm bad. But the 2 brothers are so alike that this is inevitable. I had my taste of it and i know how selfish they are.
I was heartbroken when he said he wants to go overseas to work... without me.
I was heartbroken when he told me that he wish to study more.. or rather, forever, so that he doesn't have to work. Think he prefers to live off his parents.
I was heartbroken when he said marriage is never on his mind.
I was even more heartbroken when he said he will marry me 5 years later if i agree to patch back.

I remember clearly on the conversation i had with her in MSN last year. She's 29 last year... approaching the precious 30.. which marriage seems to be a must!
Career, money.. none. He had none. I told her to consider carefully if she still wants to be with him and told her not to hang on to the r/s... There was no security at all.
And I believe his selfishness has caused the breakup. 5 years.
Ok, it's hard. I can't even break up with him when i knew i had no future with him. I held on to. Holding on to an inconceivable relationship.

I knew she will ended up like me making a harsh decision.
The 2 brothers think the same.

I'm just glad i'm out of it.

Induction week

After so many months of work, hard work.. it's finally the induction day. Registration was not as difficult as i thought. The way they described, it seems that we are so much more organised this year. Finally can get to meet all the students... all of which we have correspond for months.
Though it's only 1/6 of them.
From a full time working adult back to full time student.. and they must have felt excited too meeting their classmates for the first time!

~

Cat is forever so busy. Nan de can meet her, and she's late for one whole hour!!
And that one hour of waiting means $100++ of shopping damage :|
I decided to start queuing for sakae. And i even finished one chawanmushi b4 she finally reach!
-_-!

Need to work!

Sigh... saturday leh..
still need to go EC and help out the waseda thing. I was actually looking forward to Prof Shlomo's speech. But ended up leh? The room was too full and i had to be outside working. Argh! wasted...
And i can't stand it when i hear them laughing inside the room. Grrr...

And all of us panicked when the caterer came late. The food are supposed to be setup by 4pm... but he reached at 4 instead!
All of us helped him out to set up the table, place the trays, food, coffee, sugar, etc.

Labbit came.... he's so nice. He came early and passed me the coloured name tags. *muacks*
My stupid printer had to run out of ink when i needed it. kns.
He came again when the speech ended with refreshments. I was damn hungry and told him to get food for me.
"i want the round round one ah... the tray in the middle.. round round one"
In the end, he came back with all the round round food on the plate. -_-""
Labbit: I don't know which one u want.. all are round round one.
hahaha... i couldn't help laughing. sibei de cute....

After work, we headed down to One Fullerton.

A lot of pple sia! And many are watching and 'listening' to the national parade rehearsal.
We managed to catch the parachutes high up in the air... We sat a while near the merlion and it began to rain. sigh. Time to head home!

Spa pedicure

It's friday!!!
But labbit has got a company dinner to attend.... and bo lang wanna date me out..
I decided to go back to my manicurist for a visit (shun bian visit all her 5 hammies).
Ahh.. they are having a nice promotion. Spa pedi with free 2 nail arts!
The leg mask is fantastic. *touching my soft and smooth legs and feet*
The whole session took 2 hours!! but it was worth it (plus, i have nothing to do anyway).

The other girl and i had a hard time choosing the nail arts. Just tooo many of them!
In the end, i used the one she chose.. and she used the one i chose. :|

Ta da!


Going back for other designs next time!

A bad day (for all?)

Long day. Early in the morning kena buttered. sigh...
Although she did make it up by chatting with me for 45 mins... it totally spoiled my mood.

Seems like qoo and lynn had a bad day too.
And some others......
I feel for all my frens and yet, there seems to be nothing i can do.
sigh.

Aerobic's the only goood today. I felt so energetic... guess it's to make up the lost for last week.
A male instructor today.
First thing qoo said was "He's very gay."
kekeke...

Marina sq nite-out

Met up with lynn and qoo at marina sq again last nite. Going to be our new hangout place instead of bugis liao. keke.
Had our supposingly motivation talk to qoo but i think it doesn't work out too well. :P
Acc lynn to Royal Sporting House and shop for aerobics wear. Seems like nothing much there although it's a big store. The service is bad!
Continue our shopping with shoes and clothes.. and it seems that all the service there are bad, bad, BAD!

We went starsucks for a drink after shopping. After telling them the terrorist bombing dream i had the nite b4, they starting sharing their strange encounters. Normally the stories won't have much effect on me. But since they personally experience it... well..... sure sounds scary.

Lynn woke up in the morning to find her pillow on the floor. It was nicely placed on the floor align to the sleeping position of her head on the bed. She stepped out of the room and found her dad with her late grandma's clothes. Think he was washing or ironing or something and he had to do that every yr.
Stunned... lynn brought her dad to her room and show him the pillow....
HMMM... ok... think her grandma 'returned' and slept with her tat nite? :P
*shivers*

Qoo's story
It wasn't that scary reading it. But after she explained the whole scenerio, i was like..... O_O
Seeing the shadow is ok... but not the rolling ball!! It's really extreme liao!! argh.

After closing my bedroom and switching off the lights, i jumped onto the bed..... and tot of lynn's story.
Tmd. I dare not look on the floor. I imagined someone pulling my pillow..
I shut my eyes real tight...
Then i imagine qoo's story on the shadow. tmd....
I dun dare to even open my eyes.
Had a hard time trying to sleep.
I even woke up in the middle of the night and turned to look at the floor as if i will see a pillow there.

simi sai.

Journey to the east

Labbit and i decided to head east today. Parkway and marine parade!
Sibei long de journey.

Nothing much there. still pretty much the same. hehe.. i tried the foot reflex! Was already very interested in the place after reading xiaxue's blog.

chio...


chio chio...


comfy chairs..


hot herbal water!!


and man!!!!! it was very very very shiok. Definitely the best best best reflex session i've ever had! going back for more! kekeke....
but then, it was too damn far. maybe can only go like once in every 2 months :(

We headed east coast park after that. It was really very nice sitting down there enjoying the sea breeze. Total relaxation!

sob sob sob :(

and i have to skip my aerobics.. wat the..

MC!~

Finally.... i got my MC today! yeah!!

I was very awake in the morning that i thought it will be such a waste to get MC. But then, i felt that it's ok since i can acc labbit to the hospital.

Meet up with labbit for his Alexandra appt. That buay gan eh doctor was playing with her pen, scratching her head (at least 3 times) and looked damn blur. I'm wondering if she knows how to read labbit's xray.
She suggested hwee sio therapy for labbit.

Next, we headed to rehabilitation centre where labbit spent one whole hour there on his hwee sio therapy. I went 7-11 and bought Dare magazine to entertain myself for that hour.

The 2 MC pple dun wanna head home so early and we decided to go Ikea and shun bian redeem the free drinks as well. heh. Time really flies when u're not working. damn...

We headed home and finally made our online booking. Baiyoke sky and pathuwan! kekekeke....
2 more weeks! 2 more weeeeks!

War of the worlds

I know labbit waited long enough for this show. Wanted to watch last wed but i wanted to catch superstar :P



It was quite a tense show. Think i was grabbing labbit's arm most of the time, holding my breath, almost to the extent of closing my eyes on certain scenes.
Rachael was sooo cute.. makes me jealous and wonder why i didn't have such a cute younger sister.

I'm sure it ended with most pple opening their mouths "ah?" or scratching their heads... but i expected it.... and i'm one of them. Read from forums and heard from william and jingli that the ending sort of sucks.

After listening to labbit's explaination on the ending, i finally understand why someone wrote "moral of the story is to eat more vitamins". kekeke

Ok.. monday's over..... how to get 2 days of MC? TWO!
