LOLLIPOP

dress hunting!

Was in the midst of doing research - (It can never be a solid few hours of pure research, because.... distractions, they are always around ! ;p)

Sth for D friend:

When you cannot make up your mind which of two evenly balanced courses of action you should take - choose the bolder. It rained the almost the whole morning and noon. Woke up at 7.33am this mornin, it was crazy, i thought i could allow myself to sleep more but it was hard to go back to sleep once i got up. I felt so tired laa. ARRRRGH, hate feeling like this.

Late morning, sis txt me bout bringing mom to OG to hunt for dress (for sis's wedding! i'm supposed to shop for one too. ) At the end of our dress-hunting day, mom got herself a really elegant nice purple dress, er hem, it cost nearly 300 bucks. 0_0

I didnt see any dresses i like cuz.. we were in the wrong venue for shopping- Outram OG. Haha, i suggested there cuz it was more of a shoppin place for older people. LOL. ( at least mom got her dress! not at OG, some other place.. in chinatown. didnt take note of the name of the shop)

Had so much for lunch. Shall explain why...

We found ourselves a seat, Sis wanted to try guo tie ( fried dumplings from this particular stall just a few tables away our seats) the hawker centre was packed but there aint any queues at the stall. I realized i was short of cash, so.. hurriedly went to find the nearest atm to withdraw cash, but it took me ten minutes long. As long as i was done, i went straight to the stall to get the Guo tie.. to my surprise, sis already got a place of dumplings.. lol.. The one she got was steamed one tho. HAHAHA. We had like.. a dozen to finish.. I didnt feel like eating just dumplings for lunch! so i got myself a bowl of chicken chop noodles. ;p

It's quite sick to eat so much guo tie in a few minutes.. !

Had a good 4 hours of nap. I feel refreshed now! but still abit dreamy and sleepyy la.. lol.. I love today, it was so cooling the entire day!

P/S: i love going out with sis :)))

(Back to my research now.. i cant wait for the day to FINISH IT!!! )

10 Tips to beat Procrastination

sSomething to share.. for those who procrastinate :p

1. Let go of perfectionism

If you're putting off starting a job because you want to get it perfect, set aside this goal and forge ahead as if your aim is to do it imperfectly. You can always improve it later

2) Visualize the outcome

Picture the benefits of completing your task. Imagine how good you'll feel once it's done

3) Just do it for 10 minutes

It's usually far easier to start something you know wil only go on for 10 minutes.Then, once you've started it, you'll tend to work on for longer.

4) Turn off the TV and internet

These are two of the greatest time-wasters. Unplug them until you've finished your task.

5) Constant reminders

Set a timer to go off, say, every hour, as you're working, so you can stay aware of how fast time is passing

6) Make it fun

Do the most fun (or the least painful) part of the task first. This will get you into the swing of it.

7) Catch yourself procrastinating

Watch for the moment when you first put off a task. If you can resist that first impulse to delay, it's far easier than trying to fight it later. Resisting procrastination can also become a habit.

8) Do you secretly like procrastinating?

Are you addicted to the adrenaline rush of completing a task just in time? If you are, try giving yourself just a little bit more time by creating your own deadline, which is ealier than the real one. so that you hae a margin of safety. Get into the habit of starting a project as early as you can, rather than as late as you dare.

9) Accept mistakes as inevitable:

Fear of making a mistake can deter you from making a start on a new task. Remind yourself that mistakes are a natural, imavoidable part of life that could ultimately teach you how to do something better.

10) Should you really be doing the task?

Sometimes procrastination can be a subconscious sign that you want to avoid the activity altogether (beyond sheer laziness) Re-access whether you really want or need to peform the task.

chz-luncha

Head down the library later, feels so lethargic since i woke up, it is the body tat feels tired. Not the mind. I guess i do too much OT these days.

Expecting more OTs this month as it is the fast-ing month for our fellow malay colleagues. Good time to earn more, but there's cons too la, my body will have to bear the tiredness.

Just made myself a good lunch. Pasta! i named it chzz-luncha ! (why? cuz i used cheese and herb sauce and leftover luncheon meat for my ingredients! lol)

Enjoy cooking alot, i try to cook whenever I can. Will make it a point to cook more often from now, and if possible, try out more receipes :)



Before that, i was browsing through stacks of newspaper, cutting out relevant articles for my capstone as well as articles that interests me. It's very time consuming man... I have got quite a big stack to finish through but I guess I will resume another day. haha! Reseach work in the library is more important. ;p

Off for a nap now.

1:15:30

Do you call this telepathy? :)

Moments ago, i was still thinking when to meet him up before he flies off!

Next, the call came! haha!

I can hate and like this guy for some strangest reason which i wish i explain!

Anyways, this time, i was so glad he called to get him to give him advice on his overseas study matters. And somewhat, i was more at ease chatting with him this time, more relaxed and stress-free too. LOL! :p

P/S: I got my shape run certificate today! woo hoooooooooo.. 5km run: 33:13 secs. can be better huh!

Another thing, thanks huey for her yummy maple flavoured cake and leather wristband! she's so sweet!!! :)

Doshite - The word of the day!

I dunno why i feel this way since i woke up, the feeling is like i never slept for so long. It's very sucky, it refrains me to get my 'engine' started. Definitely not an excuse to be lazy, but when times like this happen, it really is hard to get myself moving. Gotta cleared my junk, do some tidying before I leave for JB for half a day trip.

2 JB trips this week :)

Highlights yesterday:


1) Was Captain Gravity's Assistant: Raz is one great partner!

2) Met up with QY/Jega for our catching up session. Decided to check out Saizeriya at Central. Bun, Wx and me had wanted to have a meal there on the day of the Safra run few days back but because we were there too early, the restaurant wasnt ready for business! Yea, that explained why this time, I was there, savouring the food!

The dish I ordered was REALLY GOOD, I had hamburger steak and pork.
We shared a spicy sausage pizza. Everything was good, even the drinks. I had Chu Hai Grapes, which has 5% of alcohol content. Lately, the body hasnt been getting enuff rest, therefore the 5% alchohol content felt like 15% to me. LOL.

Definitely will patronise again! Hopped over to Okinawan Dner Nirai-Kanai, a very cosy japanese restaurant located at the basement of Liang Court. The Japanese lady who attended to us was really friendly! Did i mention before that i love JAP people? Love the setting of the restaurant it made me feel as tho I was in JAPAN. The feeling was totally different from dining in at Jap-theme restaurants like Genki Sushi, Waruku.. etc.
We only went there for drinks, and we decided to have dinner there some time!

I tried Choya Ume, love the drinks to bits! HAHA, a pity the serving was small! Almost didnt want to leave the place. HAHHA

Doshite? (Love the place laa! )

Had a loooooong day, and.. another one today. :P

twitter's down!

I cant survive without twitter. omggggggggg!

Wanted to twit since noon!

Jas: I almost died at the tracks. the 3.5 hrs of sleep wasnt sufficient for me to do a good run! haha!

My body feels like tearing apart now.

Head out to ION to find hairul to be part of the people in his 25th birthday collage! Yess.. I persuaded myself to go despite the exhaustion. Also, need to go GC to look for Azan! :)

I drove at 100km/hr on my way home. I think I'm going crazy. haha..

P/S: I signed up for the Pink Ribbon Reebok Run! This time it was bun's idea :)

Safra Run 2009

Safra Run 2009

Was at YQ's 21st last night. It was great meeting HIGH once again! Was surprised to see Huiyu there too! The party was well organised by YQ/her friends/her bf and her family & relatives! She has a theme for her party. "A sea of blueeeee in aranda conuntry club #2213" Hee..  I even got a little 'gift' from her party!  Was near to colaspsing on the ground when i was findin my way to the place, haha.. i didnt know work would end this late! By the time i got there, it was close to 9pm alreaydy! 15 minutes before everyone start singing birthday song for her :) 

Got home at 1am+, slept only around 1.45am?

I knew the next day is gonna be horrible. And indeed, feeling terrible, like the body complaining that it needs more sleep! But a pity I have to get ready to leave house by 530am.

Didnt check the time for the first bus to arrive at my place. When i got to the bus stop at 5.40am, i realized the first bus only comes at 6.03am! Since i had time to spare, I walked 20 minutes to West Coast to take 78 down to Clementi to meet up with the lovely bun and WX! It was Bun's first marathon! I was really happy that she took her first step to take up her first 10km. It takes some courage to do that! Many fear even before trying!

My third 10km run, and my 5th mass run, more confident now in terms of 'experience' lol. The only disappointin part was, i knew, i wouldnt be able to complete the race with the timing I set for myself. I will ensure I have ample rest the night before a run to avoid disapppointment. (Very wish i was a superwoman! )

Took pictures at the Padang field, I love my flying jump! haha!

Would like to thank Wx for picking me up and treating me to a sumptuous breakfast, subway and mac hashbrown! Thanks to Bun for giving herself an opportunity to prove that she is able to do a run like this! I'm proud of her! ")

 

Money can never buy an experience like this! :)

As I approached the 8km mark, i saw several inspirational phrases being put up to motivate the runners to push on.

Like this one particularly, "Pain is temporary, but the pride is forever"

 

80.

10, 20, 30, 20 = 80 laps


My will can be so strong when it comes to achieving something to satisfy myself. Haha! Certainly agree with the saying "When there's a will, there's a way! "

Will work on my exercise regimen in a moment. I'm like so drained now. Need a sleep to get my brain to work properly!

loads to do

OFF DAY.

The weather is very humid these days. I hate the sticky feeling! EWWWWWWW!

I've got less than 2 months to be in a good shape. Hasnt been too hard on myself when it comes to food. I still eat quite alot of junk. This is disappointing! HAHA! I need to work harder to shed the fats off, seriously. Because if i carry on putting all sorts of junk down my throat, I will never reach my targetted weight.

This month, I'm busy with working on my capstone project. Expecting to do more PM SHIFT since i need not go for classes anymore. Would be doing a lot of running and swimming, I HOPE. I have to be discipline la!

Haven been visiting the library for the longest time ever, I will make an effort to visit the library later, i need some reading materials to work on my capstone too.

Safra run this sunday, so looking forward to the additional of one marathon medal to my shelf. HEEE.

Needa spring clean my room too, my floor is collecting dust, so does every other place in my room! The list goes on, etc... LOL

O"k, gonna wash up and get ready to head out for a good swim! CIAO!

so random.

SO RANDOM.

Gine, i hope you wil be okay. You really got me a scare today!

Happy birthday brother! :)

I hope you enjoyed the dinner the other day.

The pizza and drumlets we had today

The shorts and the tee i got from Safra...

Some times, when things dun go as plan, it may not be a bad thing afterall.. :)

off on a public holiday!

Back from a game of Poker with my cousins at my sis's place.

Luck wasnt with me today but nonetheless the game was enjoyable! The company was great! Ah xin was just lamenting on the number of gatherings that i've missed! Yea, I very much wish that I can turn up for all family/relatives meetings. But sometimes it's really hard when I have work on hand.

Made up for my sleep debt. Rest the whole morning till 1400hrs.

Cousin Ah Xin called to gather at Sis's place to play poker. Played for a while before heading out for dinner at New York New York @ JP to celebrate bro's birthday.

The mall was forever crowded.

There were a total of 9 of us, my family, bro-in-law, yang, weilin, er xuan. :)

Dinner was great! This was only the 2nd time patronising New york new york! I ordered my fav pasta, Alio Olio.. looked very plain but everyone commented that it was good.. haha! Helped dad to order roasted spring chicken, and mom.. her usual fish and chips.

Bro is one weird person, we called for the waitress to deliver him a free birthday mudpie but he ran away upon seeing the cake! But, didnt matter la, since he didnt like it, i thought it was his loss that he couldnt hear us sing birthday song to him. lol.

Back to sis's hse for another round of poker! This time with the additional of Er kai joining in the game! Zhen Yu, was as usual.. always the watch-er. haha!

The game tonight was 'fierce',everyone played big. haha!

It seemed that we were all gettin hooked!

Expecting to see more poker sessions from now!

P/S: I got my nike pants! Regretted only getting one pants.. I'd love to have their shoes too!

Happy Birthday SINGAPORE!

Working on a public holiday has become a norm to be since i started working in the service industry way back during my poly days. Dun get the misconception that I never get my off days on ALL the public holidays, i do get them, like.. once in a long while? ;p

Many of my love ones around me tried to persuade me to switch job because they think my workin hours are odd. I must say, non office hours has its pros, like.. i get to rest on weekdays, which i so much prefer, cuz if i were to head out , that means lesser people on the streets. Going to the pool without vying for space to swim. But of course, that also meant that I have to sacrifice some other things like, not able to spend time with my family and friends. More importantly, I enjoy my work despite the the rotating shifts. :)

Let's talk about National Day spent at work.

I was on PM SHIFT.

The night before was spent with the sg gootoes, met a few new ones. (nt much interaction tho except with caroline? She's sucha young gootoe! ) The time flew so so fast... it had been almost a year since i joined them for gatherings like this. Must thank HOCC for bringin us luck. Boss won a 200 voucher in a scratch and win card while we were dining at TCC. HEE.. YAY! Which means, we can meet soon to have a feast tog! :)
I almost collasped when i got home! too tiredddd.. and good thing I swopped shift with Sub to work Pm the next day.

One reason why i love working on PH, I get to work with alot of my colleagues, o yea, Rayner is back! 3 ppl at top is so fun! :)

(Went for nike factory sale at WCP just before work, it was so chaotic man.. haha.. a pity i could only stay for 10 minutes! but then again, nothing really catches my eye except for one pants :P)

Oh yes, i finally got to be Captain Gravity! I was the MASCOT of the day for 1.5 hours. IT was soo suffocating, lol. But managed to survive it la.. haha, my assistant was RYAN!

Met a few lovely kids.. and one particularly brightens up my day, got a kiss and a hug from him despite that I STINKED! LOL. was soaked with perspiration man.

After work, i joined gine, huey and rab at THE QUEEN AND MANGOSTEEN. Even tho we may be working same shift but hardly any moment to sit down to talk! Gine and Rab busy watching their soccer match while I was busy playin with Huey's blackberry, with her assistance of course! haha!

HAHA. Was there only like an hour, after which i headed hoome to sleep. My body needs a GOOD REST!
