I've never fall sick for quite some time. However, there are some indications now, stuffy nose, heavy head. I remembered my worst flu was back sometime back in March where I was fevering and managed to score an A for a quiz during lectures. You could say it was out from luck but I was sure that I had studied well enough for it.

It has been almost 1 yr, work in URA is currently quiet and pretty peaceful cos due to some interim handover to another section. Sad to say, I was quite reluctant to really pass on the project(s) to another person. I had spent so much effort in it. From nothing ... to something. One of my "baby" was an identity node! I remembered the times when I made site visits consistently few days in a week, even when the haze was strong. Took pictures, did some site measurements, explored the ground. And back to the office to put all these info into the plans. And I fell sick due to the haze....

I wished to blog about him however he mentioned he felt "naked"... thus I was thinking of having another blog somewhere. Dun worry, I'll touch a little here.. :-)

We had our breakfast at Tiong Bahru market on our 1st mth anniversary, exactly 1 mth after his birthday. Well, it was Live Earth day as well... 070707, what a day to remember, where 777 couples were married in Spore. A middle-aged man was playing harmonica and asking for donations in the market, just next to the table where we were sitting. KK gave the man some money and described to me that it was romantic as well, like sitting in a high class restaurant while the musicians were playing their instruments just beside your table.

Some random photos for the week... not many photos taken... sorrie.



Taken from some website of someone cosplaying "L"... really had some uncanny resemblance of the primate character.


Some transformers toy displays outside Cineleisure after watching the movie
It's really cool! Go watch it!



Mccafe's cappuccino, $2.50 at AMK with galfriends. We were having steamboat buffet last Fri. (Highly recommended buffet, shall introduce the place to u guys next time)

I dunno wat I was doing, probably I just missed him too much. Sometimes I find he doesn't even care.

Childhood Cartoons

Hollywood has been doing remakes on our childhood cartoons, like TMNT, Batman, Spiderman, Xmen and the most recent, Transformers. This show really brought back alot of our childhood memories where we got up early to watch the morning cartoon during Sundays.


The Transformers Movie, 1986

Not forgetting, the lyrics are pretty gripping too!

"Transformers
More than meets the eye
Transformers
Robots in Disguise"

Plus the transforming sound created!!!

My most unforgettable characters are basically, Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee, the car which can transform into a yellow Volkswagon. I still find it ridiculous to believe that Megatron can transform himself into a gun... and do u know when Optimus Prime transforms himself into a robot, the truck behind him was not actually attached??

Before u watched the new Transformers, why not spend some time watching the cartoon instead? Pretty nostalgic leh... There was a female Autobot too!!!

I refer to the article on "Some chaos is good"

I totally agree to this article. If every city is perfect, with too much of proper planning, there will be no uniqueness in it. Every city will become the same with the same characteristics. Let the urban villages form its own style, let locals take charge of its surroundings. Sometimes a little chaos make a difference.

Chaos leads to creativity, dun it?

Do you know...



Better migrate all yr photos to a safe place now, dun say i din warn u....

JUMP - A Marital Arts Comedy



I always love comedies, in fact comedies are the best shows for dates. I've booked 2 tix to watch JUMP, a korean martial arts comedy this Sunday with my dear dear. Will be anticipating alot of jumping, rolling, kicking, flying... oops, haa, not really... haha... it's just a light-hearted action play abt 2 stupid thieves who broke into the home of marital arts family.



"JUMP" The Grand Finale

At my new place.

The place is abit old, but after some major cleaning, it turned out to be slightly much better.

There isn't any much usable furniture around, scared that we might damage those from owner which are already in not so good condition. So, I went over to IKEA to get a bedframe and wardrobe. My brother told me that during that night after handing over of keys, the ex-tenant came back and managed to open the door. (with the fact that we are using the owner's padlock)He also complained to us that the owner threatened to forfeit their deposit for damaging her stuffs, which includes the window panel, the rattan chairs, the TV... blah blah blah.

We changed the padlock immediately.

I wasn't showing any pics cos they are nothing good to look at, except those defects we spotted and will be sending to owner for her rectifications.

Extremely glad my aunt, uncles and my dear Guoqing and his bro helped out in the moving and cleaning... :) must really thank them alot.

Britain's Got Talent

Yes, another Idol Show. Be amazed by this person's voice.


thanks toh min for sharing this clip~

ATTENTION!!!!

I'm moving house on Sat evening. Meantime, I'm giving out free comics. Some with full volumes. If u r interested, u can meet me at my place's mrt in the afternoon.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

An animation (character designed by the creater of Nadia and Evangelion,Yoshiyuki Sadamoto) another piece of great work which potrays a 17-year-old Makoto Konno gains the ability to, quite literally, "leap" backwards through time.

She immediately sets about improving her grades and preventing personal mishaps. However, she soon realises that changing the past isn't as simple as it seems, and eventually, will have to rely on her new powers to shape the future of her and her friends.

Bjork's song ~ Pagan Poetry



I love him.. I love him.. I love him.. I love him....

Bjork wrote this to show her lover that she wanted to give herself to him. She wore a Alexander McQueen's wedding dress... the beads are sown into her skin and she was topless. Although the footage was done by a model, the MV portrays strong graphics of sex and piercings. It was rumored that the sex bits were from her private video footage.

Speechless~


We celebrated his birthday. Time seemed to be frozen when I was with him.


We visited Clarke Quay the next day.

Sitting by the steps, chatting, watching the bungle jumps across the river bank.



I wanna be with him :)



We are together now..

I'm back.

Yes, broke but happy again.

Summer in South Korea was hot in the afternoons, but breezy in the mornings and nights. Air was generally fresher at the mountainous regions. I loved the resorts near the north and east parts especially, not forgetting the SPA facilities at the basement which would help to rejuvenate yr body after long travels.

Korean Airlines was better than SIA!! The air stewardess were prettier too.

3 more days to South Korea Trip and a perplex mind~

Well, so much things happened lately. I felt all these came in too fast.

The renting of a new place, forking out extreme amount of money for the commission and deposit, coming tour, have to spend again. When live in new place, have to fork out money for home equipment. utilities, rents.... and incoming school fees. I feel the whole world is on my shoulders now.

Met up a friend lately, he brought me to visit farms in Lim Chu Kang and I brought him to the National Museum as a return. Well, we are apparently dating. (blush) But it seemed that I do not really understand how he is feeling, seemed to have a complex mind in deciding what he wanted. He wanted a change of job but could not let go of his current pay. So he made alot of friends online to find out how it is going on in the outside world as he is working in a govt job. He was lazy. He would sleep the whole day at home.

He kept on talking, I was listening. He loves to eat but exercises alot. So he has this beef-like figure which I do not really mind really. I like his character, innocent, caring, trying to crack a cold joke. He was a few cm shorter than me thus I dun have the difficulty of looking up at all times. Could be very obedient at times, a kampong boy. He described himself as a kampong, docile cat, always meowing for food, esp fish. He took the below Quiz, and his type belongs to physical touch and quality time. But probably he was just testing all out of gaining an experience to go out with someone.

I still ain't too sure if he was the one, I could be loving with my mind again. I need more time. In fact I think he needed more time instead.

I feel loved when...

Never Date a Scorpio

Jealous, paranoid, and possessive - deep down, your Scorpio will never trust you. And even if you are very trust worthy person, Scorpio's paranoia may drive you to act out. Instead try dating: Aries, Gemini, Libra, or Sagittarius

What Sign Shouldn't You Date?

Found a 2+1 unit like this in Tiong Bahru


It was one of the SIT built in the 1950s. Post-colonized style and laid back environment. Across the street is the famous rebuilt Tiong Bahru Market.




And across the road is my grandma's place. I'll be glad to visit her and join her for dinner after work too.


Manage to capture quite a good price of 1100. I'll be moving in June btw.

28 years old this year!!!!

I am desperate!! Haha.. desperate for money now.. cos I am moving out soon.

Spent a nice afternoon with friends who came to celebrate my birthday at Sofra Turkish Restaurant. Qing baked me a cake too, so touched. However, the cake was abit too tough, ended up we all have difficulties in swallowing. However I really appreciate very much, finished 3/4 of it too. I really look forward to your next successful cake, Qing, so dun forget to try harder for the next one. * Wink


One of the best dishes in the Menu ~ mashed potatoes wrapped with Dory fish skin


A heavy 2 kg ( I think) Black Forest cake


(Click on above pic for more pics!)

So glad that most friends came, even Felix came during his revision week for exams! The staff over Sofra are so friendly and helpful and served us throughout the session, serving drinks, helping us take pictures and even setting up the cake for me. (putting in the candles and happy birthday slogan on the cake).

That was not all, celebrations do not end in a day. I got a surprise cake from one of my colleagues on the actual day.

DD(PS) promised to treat us breakfast after our whole team's participation in the DPIs, which happened to be my actual birthday too. With all the glorious food in the morning, I also contributed curry puffs into the exciting menu from Old Chang Kee. It was a splendid morning and I was really thrilled by the kind efforts from my colleagues.


Heee.. I think I am the tallest among the ladies.



Yor, my boss. DD(PS) inside pic too. And Mr Elite. :(

I think I will be shifting house soon, hmm I mean move out into Tiong Bahru area with my bro. I was getting alittle petrified on the idea of living away for the first time and forking out such a large sum of money for a home. But thinking abt the privileges of staying in a place which truly belongs to u and with yr close kin, I started to realise that having a family nucleus is truly important. So shame on those rich working adults who still live on their parents and complaining abt them, you dun deserve anything but a tight slap on yr face.

I'll be updating.

no joke. I am turning 28 this coming 9 may.

Yet, there are still some others who are treating me as a young girl. I dunno why, prob it was due to my dressing. Casual cotton shirts and jeans, with sneakers too. Anyway, I am still a student.

Probably it is really time to step out of my comfort zone. I have been staying in my aunt's place for almost 7 years. My cousins need more space as they are growing up. How time flies...

Recently, I am also sourcing flats for rentals with my bro, who is also going for his part-time degree (aka datang) in July in SIM. It is really impossible for him to stay on in grandma's place with no room and he is forced to sleep in the living room most of the time. Having a place for him will be more ideal as he will be able to concentrate on his studies better.

But how ridiculous the rental rates nowadays are getting into! Well, I was going to ask the MP for his help whether we could rent from HDB which would be much cheaper.

2 more years to slough on.... and 2 more years before I reach 30.

Spidey rules!!!!!!!!





Who needs Superman, Batman? My favorite Superhero is still Spiderman! Watched the 3rd installment yesterday and was contented as before. (Dun worry, no spoilers for you)

Loved Tobey's new black suit but hated his hair. Why does he have to comb them down to show his aggressiveness? He looked even more nerdy. I see no purpose of Gwen Stacey's presence in the movie, I guess it is to let people do comparison between her and MJ. At least she wore a bra (push ups too) , not like the saggy and booby MJ. She acted more airhead than MJ so that's why guys loved her!

Bec the movie was in high definition, there was a close shot of MJ's arm hairs when she reached out for Spidey. Hairy girls are hornier, I guess...

Loved the villians but hated Venom the noise maker who was making hell lot of noise during the fights. He spins out black webs too, btw. Dun intend to talk abt Sandman bec he is not very yandao. I also fell in love with the Green Goblin Junior liao... haha I think he is pretty cool with his flying skateboard and retractable mask, reminded me of "Back to the Future".

In Spiderman 2, we learnt a catchy phrase, "Great powers come with great responsibilities". This time round, Spiderman spun his own phrase, "You do have a choice .... " kind of thing. Well, forgot the actual sentence, anyway, go and catch the movie yourself la.

The Mickey Mouse Club

M.I.C.K.E.Y M.O.U.S.E

Found an old clip showing nowadays stars like Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. Christina's voice is totally amazing and Britney is good in making backflips. I have no idea who the black boy is, but he did seem to have a good voice also.

Notice the blond boy, heard from someone he is Ryan Gosling (guy from The Notebook). What a hottie!!

Favourite scenes of my favourite movies.

The 5th Element

Can anyone recall the hot perfect human girl, Lilo from 5th element? The diva's singing performance and Lilo's aka Bruce Lee's fights really kick some asses. Costumes designed by JPG.




Dirty Dancing

The last dance between Baby and Johnny captivated me the most although I love all parts of the movie



Band of Brothers

This scene really drew me into tears. A soldier by the name of Albert Blithe who was fearful of death, stuck in his hole and refused to fight. Eventually, he pulled out his gun and shot down a German soldier from far, walked to the fallen and picked the Elderwiss from the German's pocket. Elderwiss is Germany's national flower, btw.



Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring

Gandalf's battle with Balrog is the BEST!!! I dun care abt other battle scenes anymore after seeing this. However the clip attached is kind of stupid, shall replace a better one if I found it.

Concept Plan of the Mass Rapid Transport by 2020.

Terrorism + Buildings of the 1970s

I was curious over this question. Why do buildings, especially shopping centres built in the 1970s have a huge fleet of stairs to its 1st storey, which is way high above ground? There are several observations which I derived after asking some of my colleagues.

1) Because Singapore has serious flooding problems, area tends to flood when there is a heavy thunder storm( there is no proper drainage during that time) <-- provided by a colleague

2) Shopping centres want to create a grand entrance for its patrons, could be related back to the colonial times (City Hall). <-- provided by colleague

3) Due to site conditions, could be on a higher terrain, or they wanted to create natural ventilation for the basement. <-- provided by colleague

4) A deterrent to terrorism; if terrorists wants to create a 'jihad' using vehicles, they may choose to ramp into the 1st storey if it is of the same height level. Take note that during that time, Singapore was facing threats from communists terrorists. According to MHA, terrorism had occurred even before Singapore's independence. A bomb planted by terrorists took place in Mcdonald house in 1965 Singapore.

I felt ridiculed when my colleagues laughed at me when I told them it was terrorism. They said they never heard before, they mentioned it was simply "layman". Another colleague of mine "slapped" with a comment, "NONSENSE, you watched too much channel 8!!!"

Just because I sprout in Mandarin and Hokkien sometimes does not mean I am ignorant. I felt I do not really belong to these group of jokers sometimes. What they heard is filtered news by the Government and media, have they really thought through of what is the true story behind? Take a look at all those shopping centres built in the 1970s, Shaw Tower, Tanjong Katong Shopping Centre, they are similar in the way they are constructed, a fleet of stairs to the entrance, not handicap friendly.

Could anyone agree more to this?

Mr Elite pretends...


This morning, i woke up feeling very grouchy and tired... so I decided to take 1/2 day off to sleep alittle more. Went to office at 1pm, saw them getting busy for nothing, went to my workstation, on my pc (damn, getting slower each time I on it) and cleared all those non-value-added emails which tend to flood my mail box.

Saw Mr Elite heading towards me, I looked away, pretending to be busy clearing emails and having lots of work.

He asked me, "You're not feeling well this morning?"
"Yah........" I answered without lifting an eyebrow and without a smile.
"Then you should have given me a buzz or something...." he replied with a comforting tone, as if I was a little girl. Btw, he is my reporting officer.
"I was not even awake to reply the sms I sent out to XXX ( our section coordinator), thus too tired to inform you also."

As usual, he came to me with a purpose. A purpose to fulfill what he wants me to do for him. Like a boss's son, he wanted me to "do these do that"... da da da...

Why is he being so patronizing? Don't he feel tired acting like that all the time?

"Hairy" Harry

There'd been alot of news from our Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe. One of them is the upcoming 5th and 6th installment of Harry Potter. The other is the publicity photos for the controversial play, Equss which showed a topless and buffed Radcliffe being hugged by a naked woman. Another shows him leaning against bales of hay as he stares up at the topless woman. A third has him posing in front of a white horse.














"..............................."


These photos have raised adverse feedbacks from his fans, where parents of these children wrote in,

"We as parents feel Daniel should not appear nude. Our nine-year-old son looks up to him as a role model. We are very disappointed and will avoid the future movies he makes," one parent wrote."

Honestly speaking, I think these shots are a breakthrough from his Harry Potter's image. However, I still miss the little boy's looks of dear Daniel.




Not really a die-hard fan of the Harry Potter's books, I've watched every episode of the Harry Potter's movies, seeing how the boy has grown up. Looking at his new tough looks and hairy chest... dark body hair...oops... I am not sexually attracted to him.. mind you..!!!! And dun accuse me of being a paedophile. But the mentioning of growing up just entwines in my little mind for a while.

How fast kids grew up into adults these days...

The problem with child-stars is even when they have grown up, people still think of them as children and sometimes hard to accept them as adults.



Christina Ricci in "The Adams Family"



Kirsten Dunst in "Interview with the Vampire"

The images of young Kirsten Dunst and Christina Ricci are still captivated in my mind and it is hard to shake them off.

i hate financial calculations. Can anyone teach me how to use the financial calculator in getting the IRR? How come I keep getting negative IRR?

The continued story of Mr Elite...

Mr Elite is back from his study trip in France. He looks like he quite enjoyed himself helping to carry luggages, shopping bags for CEO and the rests of the ladies. It is surprising that he bought some expensive sweets and chocolates back for us, well... bought in small containers so he can share them among the rests.

This morning, he saw me and asked "New hair?"
" Yeap, I've cut my hair, but it was century years ago. "(actually 2 days le la), I replied.
"Feeling too stressed, so I cut my hair."

He is still the same, same email goes out from him, requesting for these and that... pushing all the work whoever he can, which he is supposed to be doing himself. surprisingly, he was lamenting to another planner when we are having a discussion on a certain project that his ex-gf is working nearby and she wants to meet him for lunch. Ex-gf?? hmm.... trying to tell the rests he is now single and available? I thought such stuffs could be relayed to his present gf if he has one now.. I dunno. With so many pretty single planners out in PPD, it wouldn't be too difficult to grab hold of one, if he intends to not to remain single.

i've cut away my tresses...


Nothing.. just feeling stressed lately. Been losing hair, saw fallen hair here and there, in my bedroom and next time in the living room. I guess cutting them away is the only solution.

Well, they'll grow back anyway. Meantime, I'm able to save my shampoo for the next few weeks cos less hair to wash mah..

Evonne was suggesting me to join her family members to Korea, will be visiting Natas fair this sat to see got any cheap packages. Will be updating.

COACH BAGS LOVERS, MAY I HAVE YR ATTENTION PLS!!??

A friend managed to get COACH handbags from US in a very reasonable rate, it is definitely cheaper than you get in Singapore or any part of Asia... Seeing it a trend to carry COACH bags in US, Japan and Singapore and a favourite brand of famous celebrities like Halle Berry, Nicky Hilton and Heidi Klum and many others, this hot wave seemed to have reached our tiny, little red-dot of Singapore. It is getting pretty common to see people carrying the little small "Cs" bags around.




Here's the price list and photos of Bags if you are interested.
http://www.swanbaggy.blogspot.com

I just feel COACH bags embodied aesthetics and functionality, not so tacky like LV, dun u think so?

It has been 6 months in the new place I worked in. Recently, I've gained some courage to tell the DD that I really wanna concentrate doing the projects assigned to me thus can't really be his PA. You can't be having a staff doing planning and a secretary at the same time unless you pay him well. Mr Elite was supposed to be doing most of the report and analysis but as usual, he did nothing much giving excuses like he was given alot of projects, was part of the other project team, etc, thus I was the only one driving the project.

Should I stay on in a place where they recognise only scholars or honours students? This is a typical sight in Govt bodies where fresh grads are normally degree holders with good honours. Recently, there has been a high turn-over of planners; which shows how competitive the private sector is. It is not unusual to hear a planner quitting after only staying for 1 mth.

Actually, I wanted to watch the show "Just Follow Law" which describes the working life in Govt sector. But most of my friends have watched it during chinese new year and I am pretty busy to catch it after the festive season. Guess I'll wait for the dvd instead.

been sleeping late again and can't seem to have a good night sleep. Keep getting up in the middle of the night and having difficulties to sleep again. Due to stress perhaps. Ups and downs in work, projects, assignments from my studies. Took a day's leave to rest at home last Tues before I really break down... or even nervous breakdown. Spent a good day at home, slept until 12pm, dyed my hair black ( I looked tanner) and managed to chat with my sis (thru msn) and aunt abit.


u rarely see my smile nowadays...

I'm planning for a holiday getaway and shopping spree to Taiwan or Hong Kong. Anyone joining me? Bring an extra pair of legs along if u wanna join me.

Sick during Chinese New Year


Even a cup of white chrysanthemum tea dun really help to cease the flu I had recently

As usual, I went to visit Chinese Doctor and had the usual tcm dosage. Western medicine tends to make u groggy so I wasn't taking an MC. Rested a whole day at home by taking leave but sadly had to travel to NUS to take the GEK quiz. I wasn't too prepared for it and I was having a fever half-way through the lecture.

It was Valentine's Day so I couldn't get a cab back, took mrt, traveled 3 hrs in total as a result of this auspicious festive season. Happen to see couples with the female counterpart carrying bouquets of roses and chirping away. It was a sweet scene and it is amazing to see how high the price of flowers shot up this day.



sick and tired...


Time is ticking out, so are the timelines for the assignments and projects! My group members seemed to be slacking again and I am really tired to chase them to work. Seemed to be stuck in the wrong group again, I hope there are more individual projects in future so u won't be working with free-riders.

I was back to work the next day and everyone was concerned abt my health condition. I was really glad to have helpful colleagues nearby. Also helped to arrange a photo-taking session with our Senior Adviser, Mr Foo. C.S who is retiring on fri... I am so sorrie that I could not join the whole section for lunch as I was not feeling well. Hmm, here's the photo.




The Directors in front looking so tired... and sad..


I was somehow "forced" to stand beside Mr Elite... hmmm :-(



Well, have a fruitful Chinese New Year btw, it seemed abit too short!

new target?? :D




cute bor? (almost fainted by his overdose of cuteness)


sorry la, Ah Lun, now my new focus is on this boy, Jiro Wang from Fahrenheit. Actually, I do not really like the boy band but this boy really captivated my heart from his top-notch comedic role in Hana Kimi, a Taiwanese drama inspired from a Japanese comic.




looks like yr regular boy-next-door having dinner at yr house...





or yr stupid friend who made fun of the food u cooked...





or simply looked nerdy like yr senior who gives some private tuition @ yr place






our dear boy boy seemed to have matured too...







"Be my valentine, ok baby?"





An early Valentine's Day greeting for everyone. :)



Jiro looks like a hybrid of Edison Chen and Jimmy Lim if u observe closely. He also seemed to be the most chatty among his group of four members and certainly knows how to "make friends" with the media. He tried all ways to gain attention; making monkey faces, cute girly shots... which i feel all are really unnecessary. He has good features and great physique (although I've been trying to search for his pic with 6-pacs... but failed to find any =P) and certainly looked photogenic in all angles.

Being a comedic role in most of his tv dramas, I felt he is also suitable for Tamaki, the handsome but stupid male lead in Ouran High School.






He was featured in this MTV by Tank and it seemed he has a taste for elder women. :P


Did I mention that he has a blog too? I love guys who write blogs !!! :)







sorry la Jay, I know u r cute too, and I will always love the songs u wrote..
