a lot of weeks ago, i caught the very 1st episode of Villa Wellness and saw all the ladies going onto this special machine that can measure the amount of muscles and fats that are in your body. I thot to myself that time, "I would love to try that machine out and find out exactly how many % of my total weight is made out of the sickening FATS!!" And guess wat? i got my wish yesterday, for free somemore! hohohohohoooo...
It was really quite amazing, that piece of thing. Its like a weighing machine, just that you need to grasp onto a joss-stick-lookalike thing in each hand and not allowed to move any part of ur body except your mouth. Then the most magical thing will happen. The machine will tabulate your weight and then break it down into how many kilograms of muscles and how many kilograms of fats. Once done, it will print out a chart and with more detailed measurements like which arm or leg stronger or how much proteins u have in ur body etc etc.. What i dont understand is, just by standing onto the machine and holding onto the things, how can it calculate out such detailed stuffs??? thats why i was really amazed by that machine.
It was real fun to try it out, but the results damn saddening can.. ahahahahhaa.. As the saying goes, the truth always hurts aaaahahahahahaaaaa... I didnt know im catergorised under OBESSED until ytd. Thats why when i tell people that im fat, I REALLY MEAN IT!! hohohohohohhhh... I find it funny when the trainer was going thru the chart, explaining to me that i need to tone here tone there.. But at least now i noe i really need to buck up and burn some fats!!!! All i need to do now is to keep telling myself GO AND RUN ARD THE ESTATE YOU FAT ARSE!!!! But alas! the mind is too weak for the body.. the moment i reach home from work, too lazy to get out of it again.. hehehe.. Somebody help me!!!!

im supposed to have quite a lot of things to blog about, but everytime i want to post something, nothing will come into mind, and in the end, i always close the window without typing a single word. I guess im losing the mood to blog already. Ok, lets see wat to write about...
im still deciding whether to go for STOMP this week. 110 bucks, should i save or spend? My fren is real eager to go, but its just going to be the 2 of us, like so dull for a noisy performance. And now if i were to turn it down, i wonder if he will bash me up.. haha... Worse is, i just spent 128 bucks on Mayday's concert tix without flinching a muscle. And to think that i wanna save up some money.. things never go the way i want them to be.. in 10 mins, 128 bucks gone, den 110 bucks also seem prepared to leave my bank account.
My hopes of buying a iPod mini soon is going down the drain also. Always not enuf $$, how to get the things i wanna get? And now with the iPod Nano out, Apple seems to have stop mini's import to singapore so that more peeps will get the nano. Which means, if i dont get the mini soon, those that are left in the in the shops might just get snap up, and i cannot get it anymore!!! Oh sharks.. y am i suddenly in such a dilemma? just when i decided to get the mini, so many things have to happen..
Im so tired having to watch over my savings so carefully, and every month end, having to calculate how much i will be left with after all the necessary payments and allowance to give. Im so sick with being financially handicapped. But who can guarantee that i wll get a better paying job next time? no one... This really sucks.
And i took 3 hours to finish typing this post.

this entire week was hectic man... for the first time, i stayed in the office till 8pm to do my work.. and i still cant finish it, had to carry it to the next day before i can clear everything on hand. Luckily now everything is back to normal, and i can go home when to the sun hasn't go to bed.....
Ytd, some relatives of mine (my granny's brother and his whole family) came to sg from Hong Kong! So long never see them, the last time they came to town was in 1998 (7 freaking years ago!!!!!!) I always like it when relatives from afar come to visit coz they will most definitely go FEASTING!! So im like a leech, tagging along where ever they go, and just EAT! That was wat happened ytd night. Had dinner at my youngest uncle's house, den we went out to find my eldest uncle (he has a hawker stall ard telok blangah area). Over there, we eat again, and it was MASSIVE. 2 plates of cockles, 10 chicken wings, alot of otahs (all courtesy of my uncle's stall), 1 big plate of satay bee hoon w/o the bee hoon but just with the sauce and ingredients, tapioca kuehs, and 6 bowls of desserts. The only thing we spent money on was on the desserts. Hahaha... And its only the 1st night!!!! i cant wait for the following days till monday. Eat and eat and eat and eat.... Life is starting to be good. we are going to have buffet and BBQ tomorrow at my uncle's house.. AAHAHAHAHAHAaaaaaa... slurpppppp!
Over dinner ytd, i was talking to my granduncle's son's wife who is my father's cousin's wife. I call her auntie. Heh.. Okok... So we were talking talking, den my granduncle's daughter who is my father's cousin whom i ALSO call auntie, came over to join us. She looked at me and said in cantonese, " your nose very pretty, next time will be rich." I was delighted to hear the "will be rich" part coz i so need the cash all the time! ahahaha... But when i heard the "your nose is pretty" part, i said out loud, "No la, my nose so big and flat, so ugly.." Seriously, i never liked my nose and ytd was the 1st time people say my nose is nice.... I wonder if its real or are they just trying to be nice.... BUT WHO CARES! I GOT A NICE AND WILL-MAKE-ME-RICH NOSE! muuhahahahahaaaa....

mid-week blues... not sure if thats how i feel anot. I have been wishing that the time in office will pass like breeze (but its not), but when i realised that we are hitting the weekends (again) in 2 more days, it makes me a little scared. I felt like the past weekend hasnt left me completely, and now, a new 1 is coming. Kind of like changing boyfrens ah, before you can get over the previous one, a new guys comes along. Erm... ok i dunno how these 2 topics link, but watever. Point is, when wednesday come, i get a bit frighten coz another week is about to pass again, and what have i achieve or gain in this week? Thinkin back on how i spend the weekdays make me angry with myself, coz all i do is sit in the office for 9 hours everyday, spent about 7 to 8 hours sleeping, 1 and a half hours travel from home to work back to home. with the remaining 5 and a half hours left for myself, its just toooooo little to make anything out of it except eat dinner and watch tv. and thats a rough guide how i spend 5 days just like dat.....
why isnt the hours per day round up to a full number, like 30 hours per day instead of 24? If it is 30 hours per day, i will have 11 and a half hours for myself (instead of 5 n 1/2 hrs from previous calculation), which means i can do more things with that addition 6 hours. Its ALOT of extra hours man... Like dat, days will be longer and weekends will also stay for a little while longer. a little note here, WORKING HOURS WILL STILL BE 9 HOURS INCLUDING LUNCH HOUR.
Now all who agree say "Aye Aye Sir!!!!!"

the whole of today, my msn had problems logging in. Felt so handicapped without it, like i lost the powers to type anything... lets hope that everything will go back to normal tmr.

10 Sept 2005, Sat
Was one of the most fruitful saturdays in recent weeks, even tho i woke up in the afternoon. Heh.. Went down to the zoo ard 4pm to get ready for our DOCENT BASH!! Exciting coz it was the first time that i ever wore a Saree, and its really no easy job man. The tying of Saree is quite profound, coz have to fold here fold there den stuck the cloth here n stuck the cloth there... its amazing how such a long and very heavy piece of material can be put onto someone without any tying aid. Y were we dressed in Sarees you may ask.. the theme of the night was Bollywood Affairs, so Bollywood = indian = Saree. The programs kept us laughing, and everyone enjoyed it. And im now an offical Docent, complete with the Tee SHirt, the BADGE and the FOZ card!!! ahahaha...
After the bash, headed down to Izwah's bday BBQ at Pasir Ris. Was a nice get-together with her and Farhana and Jurana and Kashari. So long never see them, glad that they didnt change much. Lingered for a while, den headed down to Bedok Mac with PJ, Wendy n Kash. i think due to the late timing, the topics were all nonsense. But we had a good laugh.
I have to mention this. Im loving my senior (from Zoo)........... 's car! He was really kind to tompang me and another fellow docent all the way from the zoo (Mandai) to Pasir Ris interchange. This senior of mine, from his appearance, you would think that he is ard 27 yrs old, still striving to make a mark in his career, and maybe drives a Honda Civic or something in that line (thats my impression of him la). So, my fren n i were following him to the car, den i saw a red Peugeot 206cc (convertible) at the roadside. I was like "whoa nice car!" in my head, den i saw my senior opening the car door. I tell you... i was stunned!!!!! I look at my fren, my fren look at me, den we look at our senior, and then to the car. it just doesnt link at all. Becoz we were at the car of the back, i saw the words "Edition Limitee" (supposed to be French ah) printed at 1 corner, i was more surprised! It must be expensive.....
And so we entered the car, and i have the previleged to sit in front coz of the applied rule " THE SHORTER ONE SIT BEHIND". Haha, i was abit taller den my fren.. heh. The back seats are really small, so thats y the rule apply.
This is the best part. B4 we drove off, my senior opened up the roof and I WAS SITTING IN A CONVERTIBLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY 21 YEARS OF LIFE!!!! Bloody exciting can... muuhahahaha... Cheap Thrill i call it... some more i sitting in front, ahahahaaaa, the feeling damn shiok sia.. If only 1: I was the one driving it, or 2: The person driving is my other half, it will be lagi better. But too bad, none of the above will come true...
Oh, that senior of mine is actually 32 yrs old and is an architect with some govt board. Looks can REALLY be deciving.
11 Sept 2005, Sun
Met Joz and Andrea for dinner at Holland V, coz we were going to a musical by NUS LawIV (meaning, my brother was acting in it). Had lots to catch up with Andrea coz it seemed like forever since i last saw her. Went for the play, Roses & Hello, at University Cultural Centre, NUS. This play was a little different from those that my bro acted b4, its more serious and i have to say, all the actors were damn good. There was this part where they really made a few audiences cry. It was refeshing, mainly coz my bro acted as a 62 yr old lawyer who owns two buildings of law firms (duh!) and have a grown up son. 1 funny thing was, his "son" is actually our childhood fren.. who would have tot that they will become "Father and Son"... ahahahhaaa... oh well..

Yei! Another week down!
My boss recently ordered a damn huge map to put up in the office, and it came today, all nicely framed and laminated. And you know wat? the map is positioned right in front of my desk. How nice. He knows that i totally suck at my geography, so he said that the map is a "gift" for me, and he will give my supervisor and me geography test whenever he is around. I am so going to die man!!!! No matter how big the map is, its no use for someone who just cannot remember where is where..... Be glad that i can spot where Singapore is man, and its no mean feat ok, considering that it is a small tinny whinny dot on such a giantic map. Y so i put myself into such shit, just whyyyyyyyyyyyy...
Just got news that my boss decided to let our office close on the 1st friday of november! hehehehe.. Coz my colleagues all suggested of going up to KL over that week (from Hari Raya Puasa till Sunday) and shocking enuf, after negotiating with my boss, he agrees to close the office! I didnt wanna go with them at first, but hearing that we have to come back to work alone if any of us choose not to go, i seriously rather go man.... So happening so happening.. Some more i have planned to take leave on that monday coz might be diving over the weekend, which means, if everything work out as plan, i will only be working on wednesday!!! muuuhahahahahaha... Tat is super duper ultra long weekend man... HA HA HA!!!!

why must there be a term call "MONEY PROBLEM"? and why must i face that term now? how do i solve this problem? why cant i be making more money? why do i still feel so broke during mid month when i didnt even spend anything on myself? why must there be a word call INSURANCE? why are they sucking up my money when they are supposed to be a SAVINGS ACCOUNT? Why must everything in life be surrounded by money? Why are the standards of living in Singapore so expensive? why do we people have so many WHYS? why why why why why....

this is a very significant post, coz this is my 100th post!!!!! erm ya watever...
heh.. nothing to blog about.. lets blog about MOONCAKES!!
mooncake festival coming ah, and everywhere u turn , theres mooncakes all over.... i have one next to me at this very moment, and its HUGE... has mooncakes all grown bigger since last time when i was still a kid? Last time i remember i can finish 1 mooncake by myself, now, i can only eat like half of it... And there are all sorts of funny flavours.. the most gross one that i have seen so far is that of WASABI flavour.... Bleah double Bleahh triple Bleahhh.. Bleahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....
who in the right mind will buy????? yucksss... Im still a very traditional person. Only eat the one with brown skin and filled with lotus, but no yolk please. Nice....
The packaging for mooncakes now are also damn freaking pretty la.... The one i had at home is packed in a long rectangular box (actually cant call it box la, since its not a square). So pretty!! like those acient box where women will put their fans in, but this 1 is a bigger version, and inside is mooncakes!!! It really brings out the art of ancient China, and i really really like it.

i need to find time to sleep in man.... dun understand y i still need to wake up early during weekends. i want my beauty sleep!!
sunday was fun, went down zoo to clean our docent room. from a cleaning session become a screaming n running session, coz there were 2 big fat black lizards hiding under the sofas. So funny, we (mostly the girls) were tired not by the mopping and sweeping, but by the running away from the 2 lizards.... thats the thing when its at the zoo, u never know wat will appear from dunno where also. Somemore it was raining damn heavily... lagi worse. all the creepy crawlies coming into the room to seek shelter... ahaha, no la i just bluffed.
had a little gathering with the ruggers. after such a long time of not meeting up with most of them, we were still as noisy and loud and camera- whoring as ever. while waiting at orchard, take pictures, while eating at SAKURA, take pictures, den at coffee bean, also take pictures. At the end of the day, took over 100 pics in that few hours. power sia.... Take until both my batts left nothing... ahahahhaa...

today, just because i stepped into the office a little later than usual, my supervisor asked me why am i so late today... like helllo!!!! wat do you know abt the irritating bus when you drive to work every single day!!! and ok i may be in the wrong for being late for work, but at least i stay back and dun leave on time or earlier!! And do you know that when she said that to me, she was totally NOT DOING WORK LA!! Happily chatting away with the other colleagues when she is supposed to be in her room doing work!! Ya, i noe you come into the office at 7+am every morning, but dont u also spend more than half the time talking, eating, watching dunno what on your com (dont think i dunno ok) rather than working???? She is just so narrow about everything.. so damn blardy inflexible.. chey!
` stenged @ 1:40 PM
*YAWN*
bloody sian ahhhhhhh.... y must i force myself to wake up damn early every morning just to waste 8 hours away in the office.... seriously i dont understand this logic man. This routine is making my butt damn big and sore, and i dont like this kind of life at all!!!!!
I have tot about what i would do if i quit this job next year. Think the Zoo for me is not an ideal option because of several reasons. First, and the most obvious, is that the pay is just too low to keep me alive. Even tho i would so love to work there, its just not realistic. Im sure Ching will agree to this. Second, now that im already a docent (volunteer) at the zoo, i should just keep it that way for now. At least im doing something that i like, but just not being paid la. Third, hmmmm.... cant think of a third reason yet. Heh.
So my final option would be to go into the hotel line. As a wat i have no idea, but im quite sure that i can find something that is paying better than my current job, has better benefits than this current job, has space for some job advancement, dont really need me to sit in front of a computer for 8 straight hours, will allow me to meet more people, can let me see daylight every now and then, has more than 1 bus service to the workplace, the people working ard me will be more than just ladies in their 30s and 40s (I neeeeeed some teens at the workplace to keep me young!!!), and i think thats about all.
i have proven to myself that a desk-bound job is really x1000 not my cup of tea. Half a year more to go, and i can proudly tell people, who kept insisting that i CAN do a desk-bound job just that i didnt try, that i have been there, done there and am OUT OF THERE for good.
Im wishing i wont fall back into the old path.
