A Series of Unfortunate Events

2011-12-09T16:42:00.004+08:00

The past few days had been one hell of an emotional roller-coaster ride - feeling high and low all at the same time. Being the crybaby I am, these mixture of emotions got too overwhelming thus the floodgates opened at some point of time.

I fell down and sprained my right ankle big time just the night before. How's pig trotters for a leg? :o

p.s. I think the sinseh was kinda traumatized by my howling cuz I cried so bad (from the 1st min till the end of the session). FOL.

Nothing short of physically and emotionally draining period but I'm ready to leave everything bad behind and revert back to my happy-go-lucky-self again.

Keep Walking, Johnny Walker says. ;p

My Kid Bro All Grown Up

2011-10-31T00:50:00.003+08:00

We agreed to go jogging and swimming till our arms and legs give way tomorrow and then we'll head down to Hyatt's Straits Kitchen for a hearty brunch... Local yummy food, accompanied with great ambience and awesome service rendered... what's there not to like? ;p

Though you'll never get to read this, I just wanna say I'll miss you, not-so-little-anymore kid bro! Can't believe you'll be enlisting to serve the nation in a week's time.

I'm gonna miss all the impromptu but fun and crazy times but two years will be over before we know it. Hang tough soldier!

Hey Dad!

I like it when you take time off your busy schedule to bring us out for a nice dinner.

When you smile, I light up inside.

I'm happy when we go grocery shopping earlier and you remembered to buy me my favourite kind of bun for breakfast tomorrow.

I wished we could go kite-flying together again like we did when PK, YR and me were much younger. We had such a great time together having a nice little picnic, chasing after the magnificent kite in the sky and basking under the sun's warmth.

I'm delighted simply because you are there with us and for us.

Thank you Dad.

Happy Father's Day! I love you. :)

Binge Baby Binge!

THREE Rochers(!!!) and a mini bar of Hersheys... so today was the binge/cheat day of the week!

I couldn't get over the overconsumption of chocolate treats so I went out for a run tonight.

Ran and ran and ran until my legs almost gave way before I gave up.

I feel a major muscleache coming up in the next two days but tbh, the sore secretly feels good. ;)

We're all unlucky in love sometimes. When I am, I go jogging. The body loses water when you jog, so you have none left for tears. - Chungking Express

What's with the BLUES?

2011-06-13T23:13:00.004+08:00

I'm quite appalled to see the number of people complaining about Monday blues on Facebook today.

It then struck me that I haven't been experiencing Monday blues for the longest time(thank god) and I hope I'd made the right choice to join this young vibrant team. *cross fingers*

Training was a killer today (as first days always are). Information-overloaded ALERT!!!

The jobscope seems a little dry but the company's culture and benefits appealed to me very much.

I'd a super candid(in a good way) leader and two cute partners for company today. *grins*

Let's hope things work out perfectly.

I want to stay. :)

I never once stopped believing. :)

We are halfway through the year so it is time to review the resolutions that I made at the start of 2011. I will do it the next time round as I have to sleep earlier tonight in order to wake up to a glorious week ahead tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow marks a new chapter of my life. How exciting! I hope this will be worth my while. :) More exciting plans ahead but that'll have to wait!

2010-12-28T02:12:00.002+08:00

Too much stuff to blog about, too little time! I shall update again when I come back from my last trip of the year.

So long beloved homies in Sg! For most of you, I shall see you again next year!

xx

p.s. Thank you dad and mom for getting me the ST550 & a spanking new lappy for my birthday!!! Two things off my wishlist! whoopee... love birthdays!

Merry Christmas!

2010-12-25T11:02:00.004+08:00

Today, I am going to enjoy myself. It's only once a year, so what the hell? Tomorrow, I will worry about it, but not today.

Hope Santa's good to you all!

Merry Christmas, everyone! I wish u nothing but the best! May God Bless the people whom I care about richly today and always.

Santa, can you leave me one this Christmas? ^^

2010-12-23T01:14:00.004+08:00

I love Christmas!

But the food is freaking me out!!!

I hate that my way of coping with stress is by eating the stuff my co-workers are constantly bringing in...

I attacked bowls of rice balls(tangyuan, one of my weakness) like a maniac when I reached home from a dinner party just now and I'm down with tummy runs now.

qwwwwwahhhhhhh >:O

Golden Mile Thai Steamboat @ New Udon Thai Food

2010-12-22T10:50:00.002+08:00

Bff, MLM, MLM's bf and me finally went for our long-awaited Thai Steamboat dinner at Golden Mile.

Different kinds of vegetables, straw mushrooms (fave!), vermicelli, eggs, lard.

Super fresh pork & chicken meat, pork liver, squid, prawns, crabmeat, fishballs and meatballs.

Their potent chilli sauce kept me wanting more (we requested for them to remove the pungent raw garlic though)… add in the chilli padi which makes the paste super spicy and shiok to the max!

Interestingly, we were provided with slabs of lard to oil the pan in the middle instead of the usual oil or butter.

Surrounding the charcoal BBQ is chicken broth for steamboat and the "juice" from the lard and bbq meat drips into the chicken broth making the soup super fatty yet tasty!

BFF reckons that the Thai steamboat she tried in Bangkok tasted better but I had no complaints as this was my first time trying Thai-style steamboat.

It was a yummy eye-opener for me and I will return again soon!

Last prawn standing!

Total bill for 4 of us (1 round of ingredients) and 3 cups of Thai Iced Tea(from the opposite shop) added up to about $45.

Food: **** (thumbs up for the freshness of the ingredients)
Ambience: ***/5* (I like it that the place gives me the feeling of eating at roadside stalls in Thailand given the amount of Thais patronizing the place. Tables were set side by side and the cozy eating place was full by 6pm. A rowdy yet happy eating experience for me!)
Service: **** (Prompt and friendly (smiley, i like! :D) servers.)
Affordabilty: *** (Slightly over $10 per person for fresh seafood and other ingredients is pretty affordable though you might have to order a second round as the ingredients’ portion given might not be enough for big-eaters.)
Recommended: For steamboat lovers who have yet to try the unique Thai-style steamboat in Singapore.

Address: Golden Mile Complex, 5001 Beach Road, #01-55 (you cannot miss it if you walk in from the entrance where the four faced Buddha statue is.)

Opening Hours: Mon.-Sun. 11:00-21:00

Joy to the World!

2010-12-20T09:08:00.005+08:00

I’ll be kept busy with last minute Christmas and birthday presents shopping this week! It's the time of year where I'll be completely broke yet extremely happy soaking in the infectious joy of the merry season.

"Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la, la la la la!"

Hungry Monster

2010-12-17T11:46:00.009+08:00

My plan was to fast all week to make up for the amount of eating that is expected next week - Christmas, holiday, birthday and whatnot - except that I am gorging more than ever.

It's like the hungry monster is unleashed from within and starts attacking me with a vengeance the past couple of days. The amount of food consumed is insane. I'm 24/7 HUNGRY and if I don't get the food, I get super edgy and ANGRY till the extent that even though my pants are bursting, I continue gorging. My (protruding) tummy thinks it's very amusing (NOT!) when it pretends that it is a freaking bottomless pit. And then when it finally decides that it is satisfied, I beat myself up for it because I have zero self-control and I can't stop eating. I freak out.

And the cycle repeats itself.

Like what's new right?

Time of the month?

It's a curse I tell you.

I Can't Believe It's December... Again!

2010-12-16T17:14:00.008+08:00

It has been a while since I last blogged... A little over a year to be exact and everything has changed.

What was once so comforting seems strange and unfamiliar now, even the blogger layout has changed!

I've decided to start over on a clean slate simply due to the narcissistic reason of wanting to leave a trace of the young me when I look back years later. haha! Damn, I didn't realize how much I missed writing... Let's see if I can do away with all that procrastination and keep this up... ;p

I will try to catch up and fill you in with all the random ramblings of my not-so-random life.

and... I'm happy to be back. :)
