The first watch I bought for myself
My First Watch
Last sunday, I went to bugis to have a walk around to do some shopping on my own. I am beginning to search for watches as I wanted one badly. Haha... Then I got to see this very nice Empori Armani watch. I liked it a lot but the price was way too ex. It was slightly more than $500. The uncle then offered me a discount of 20% and I wanted him to furthur round it down. I got it for about $400 in the end. So he said okay and I bought it. Anyway it's the very first watch I bought for myself in my life. Wee!
This whole week I was particularly busy with things. A lot of changes and a lot of things to sort. It just keeps me at work from morning till the end of the day. I felt this was rather great. I detested the days where I just stare into the blank air. It just sucks after days and days like this. Trust me. Haha... But this also gives me no proper time to rest but I don't mind really.
Looking forward to my nice weekend. Tomorrow its staying in because I am really tired. Friday I am going out with clara. Shall have a nice rest on sat but still can go out if there's anything. Hopefully can play mahjong. Lol... Sun I am going cycling with geraldine. And it's back to work again on monday. Lol...

Happy and enjoyable evening
Went out with clara yesterday. It's always happy to see and talk to her. Time really flies. It already nearly half a year since the day I attended her wedding dinner. The best times were still the days when I was a trainee on course where I had so much company. Well the life now is good as well. I satisfied and contended.
Went to have dinner at Crystal Jade first. Had spicy la mian, xiao long bao and a soup. Honestly, it wasn't very good. The la mian was very spicy, even worse for clara. The soup tastes like water and the best was the xiao long bao.
Went shopping for a while but didn't get anything as there was nothing in mind. Then we went to catch a movie. The show times at cine was very late and we went shaw. Wanted to go suntec but I thought the traveling time isn't worth it. Caught the 9:15 pm show P.S I Love You. I wanted to catch it as the online ratings was very good and I liked the story plot as well. Then we had coffee at starbucks.
So I briefly summarise the show for you. It's about this woman Holly whom is married to an Irishmen Gerry. When Gerry dies of brain tumor, it takes the life out of Holly. Holly simply couldn't find it hard to find on with life as she needed Gerry with her. But her loving husband somehow knows of it and plans her life by sending letters to her in an attempt to move her out of her grief stricken state.
Overall, I would give it a 4.5/5. The show is funny and there are a lot of emotional parts that makes me wanna cry. I really encourage my friends to watch it as well as the Gerry takes great effort and superb timing to plan everything out. Lol...
Had a lot of thoughts after the show and chit chatting. I thought that it wasn't easy to treasure people around you till you lose them. And a stupid mistake I done in the past is that I neglected my friends too much in the past. I realised friends are important, probably even more important than your girl. Lol... I just wanna lead a simple and contended life. =)
Anyway, took a cab home after the show ended. Reached home pretty late. When I was reaching my house, I realised that the uncle forgot to give me midnight charges. Lol...

Makes my think back at my POP
Our old SAF uniform
Singapore Discovery CentreToday morning was a disaster. Woke up pretty early today and cleared my mail. When I went out of the house and locked the house, I dropped my key chain. It broke into half and so did my heart. Sad... then quickly opened the door again and used contact glue. =.='' Luckily it looks almost the same again except for the crack behind which is so visible. Decided to keep the thing away and not use it again. It is so fragile.
Mdm was late so we had to change plans and skipped breakfast. Nothing much interesting in the Army Museum as everything is a refresh of my history lessons. Worst of all, I was feeling super hungry. there is no mood to listen anyway. There's a buffet lunch at Discovery Centre, the food was good but i thought it was too expensive per pax. Had 2 rounds of food as I was so hungry. Practically stuff all the food in.
Then continued our little tour around. Slightly more interesting things there. Lots of fun little games there also. Was particularly impressed with one which allows you to build your future city. The sounds and effects are very good as well. Then went home straight after that.
Think I am going to rest for a period of time. my legs are hurting pretty badly. Maybe I injured them some how. Got to give it a one week break.

Short update
Just what I have been doing recently. Last sat, I went to glen's house to bai nian with mar. We were late so his mon left and left ang baos for us. Lol... Lots of things to do if you are crazy about comics because his room is full of them. Went out for have duck rice at a nearby store. was really nice but it was a bit expensive though. Read the whole series of "魔帝" when we came back to his house while mar & glen watched videos. Went home at 4+.
Went to shopped for shi xuan's gift at orchard. it's always a headache to buy gift for ladies. There are just too many things to choose from. Got a hand moisturizer and a body moisturizer for her from crabtree & evelyn. I really liked the smell in the shop and the assistant is friendly as well. A hole in the pocket though. Lol...
eWent for my 10km run yesterday. Couldn't run again today as my knee is hurting badly if I run continuously for days. So I had to run alternate days instead. Went to develop some recent photos and update my photo album. So long since I added photos to it. Haha... te album must be feeling so lonely.

It's still my name whether u put it upright.....
or even upside down! Valentine's Day gift from yaxin
Happy and enjoyable dayReceived a call in the morning from Clara! Haha... I was pretty surprised because she rarely calls me. She is coming to my camp during afternoon for an event. Waited for her outside and her cab lost the way. My god! She finally reached and we chit chatted a while. It's always a pleasant feeling when I see her. I feel so at ease. Been friends with her barely for half a year but we can get along well. =)
Had lunch in canteen with her and shi xuan. Shi xuan is overstressed by work. Really pity her sometimes. Haix... Then waited for time to pass for the whole day. Clara called me then we share cab to go out of base. Dropped me off at Jurong Point. Feeling eager to meet her up nx friday. =)
Went to pass yaxin some things. I hate LRT, I can't differentiate between Petir and Pending. Got off the wrong stop. Ass... I was wondering why I never see her when she said she reached. Simply I got off the wrong stop. Went to her house to put things first and then go out to bukit panjang plaza to have dinner.
Had dinner at 避风塘, my treat because she helped me recover and won money. Lol... The food was okay only. I hate the noodles. I liked the duck meat, shark fin soup, scallops. The rest of them was a disaster. Don't want to mention it any furthur. Sian... Haha...
Then went to develop photos with yaxin. her policy of developing photos is that she must look good in it, don't care about others. LOL... How can like that... So bad. The developing is very cheap, I wonder about the quality. Maybe I will try someday. Went to watson and got laughed off for using shampoo that is supposed to be for "woman". I thought it was unisex? Lol... Suan le...
Then send her home before I go home myself. So freaking tired now. Haha... Sleep...

Me & my best buddy shi xuan
The gift's wrapper... Lol...
My present... Fragrance from Salvatore Ferragamo
Valentine's Day
Happy Velentine's Day to all my friends! But this year's valentine day means nothing to me. Just another day which I have to go for work. That's all. Went for a run yesterday's evening again. The weather was very bad and it drizzled when I was running.
Was very busy for today's morning. Thurs are usually like that. I had so much to do. Started off with breakfast with teck liang in the canteen. Then had to entertain a few people here and there for their requests. Quickly finish all my work then rush off to have lunch with shi xuan. It's always either one of us have time to spare.
Had a pleasant surprise. She had a gift for me. Didn't have time to shop during weekends. Haha... so I didn't have one in return. Probably next week okay. At least someone did bother. Lol... Touched lo... I think it's the only gift I will receive for this year's valentine, I really appreciated it lots. Was thinking of changing my perfume anyway so I guess this comes in handy. Friends are really more important than your partners, took me the hard way to realise this. Sometimes, there are just no words to describe what a friend can do for you. =) Thanks for making my day.
Anyway back in office, I got laughed as I didn't know what the brand Salvatore Ferragamo was. Didn't care anyway. Lol... didn't bother as branded goods are out of my reach at the moment. Finished work late today. Idiot lo. So just waited for shi xuan since she's going home anyway. Too lazy to run because it's already late. Just wanna slack off today. =)

Shagged out
Have been feeling tired for the past 2 days. Perhaps it's because of chinese new year. Very lazy to go back to work after my long break. Because it was such a nice breakaway from all the stupid work. I enjoyed it totally. Lol...
Work was boring yesterday. Was messaging yaxin the whole of the afternoon simply I was too free. Thanks for spending time with me for the afternoon. Lol... Because the office was still so quiet and nobody was around. Hence the reason why work haven't started. Haha... Went for my 10km run after work. Feeling a bit heavy and slow after all the eating during the weekend. It's always such a torture to burn away what you ate.
Today didn't got any better. But the morning I was helping someone to get some things she wanted. I didn't realise there was so much of it. Haha... but I still managed to get what she wanted. The whole lot of it... Lol.... Was lazy to run today, perhaps turning into lazy bones. Went for a hair cut because it was getting messy and unsightly. I always looked better with shorter hair. =)

Blackjack at my uncle's house
Very reluctant to go my uncle's house cause I am so tired that I just wanna sleep. But I still have to. Oh well.... the best thing is he lives in pasir ris. Lol... Had coffee with my family before we went over. I helped myself to the food when I reached. There's bee hoon, curry, chicken wings, dessert. I loved the curry. Lol... So long since I ate curry. Lol...
When all the others arrived and they started gambling, I also joined in. Lost bout $40 in the start but managed to pick up after a break. Thanks to someone's luck! Her ba zi must be get along with mine. She msg me and I kept winning. Haha... In the end, I won bout $70 in a row. Woohoo... my mom won bout $300. Ownage. Lol! I am just lucky not to lose.
Then there's lion dance. Very noisy. Lol... And everyone was trying to see what no was being left behind. Lol... This is so typical of adults. Haha... Played a while with my cousins before I went home. tired. Zzz...
6:26 PM
I know my face looks stuck up! Lol... with yaxin at pool!
Mahjong at my house
I went to Sandy's house on Friday for CNY celebrations whom was my ex supervisor. Met up with all in cck mrt station because going in a group was better. Looks nicer. Lol... But a pity is that I didn't know most of them so I didn't have much conversations with them. Lol... Mei mei is still that naughty after all, so playful after not seeing her for 2 years.
Then had a great dinner and ate a lot of CNY goodies. Great! Then I joined in and played Blackjack. "Daddy" was the banker whom was Sandy's husband. We always called him daddy. Lol... I won $16. Woohoo.... It's always better than losing. Lol... Then talked a lot with desmond and kok wei before we left sandy's house for e last train. Walked Pei Jun home aka the "pokka girl" last time because she lives very near from me.
Yesterday invited yaxin, mar and glen over to my house for mahjong. We ordered pizza hut and had hawaiian and bbq chicken pizza along with hcicken wings. We played for a while and mar was the big winner for "dong" feng. Cool for her since she doesn't really know know to play. Lol...
Then the pizza came and we watched Mindhunters. It was a nice show I would say. The way in which the killer among them twisted all their minds into suspecting one another after serial planned murders. The killer was very precise in his timing to kill his victims which I would say was the catch of the show. It's always a wonder to see how the murders were carried out one after another.
Followed by mahjong again till we finished all 4 rounds and a new round of "dong". Yaxin was the big winner. Lol... Congrats mistress. Haha... I drew level with my own winning only nearly a dollar. Went to clementi central to have dinner. Everywhere was down. Sickening. We had no choice but to go Sumo House.
Went to play pool after that at recreation centre. It always fun to play with them cause they always give in to me. Cause I super sucky at pool. Lol... Haha.... But it's great since I always managed to clear a lot of them before I lose. =.= Doesn't matter, as I always say, it's the fun that matters. Accompanied the 2 girls for wait for their buses before I went home. I watch Guess Guess Guess but I fell asleep unknowingly. Lol...

My steamboat yesterday along with other ingredients which didn't feature because they are already in my stomach!
Chinese New Year
Firstly happy chinese new year to all! Last year I would say was not a very good year for me because a lot of things happened. But I shall forget them all and move on into the new year. Hope that good things will come one after another.
Had my reunion dinner with my family yesterday. Had steamboat which was the usual fare every year. I liked it anyway even though I had ate a lot of them in the past few weeks. it always a rare occasion to get together and have a meal together.
Went to my grandma house this morning. Got ang baos from my grandma and my aunt. My cousin Dick had grown up so much since I last saw him. Kids really grow fast nowadays and he has such a cute tummy which I like to squeeze. LOL...
Then went over to my grandpa house. Have not seen him since last year because he lives very far from me. So it's not convenient for me to visit him really. His dog keeps wanting to play with me. So obedient. Haha... followed me round the house. Lol...
So here I am counting my ang bao money again. Wee!

Tired week
Yesterday I went to Soup restaurant with joanne and kok wei, my ex colleagues. Very long since I last saw them so since I had time I met them up for dinner. Ate the chicken with ginger sauce, sliced fish, spicy tofu and lotus soup. It was great. I loved the chicken with ginger sauce very much. Haha...
I also bought quite a bit of tibits. I bought fish crackers, BBQ ruffles, sour & cream lays, spicy potato chips and prawn crackers. Haha... Yaxin, mar and maybe glen will be coming over for mahjong so have to get a bit of food to entertain the "pigs".
Today work was equally boring in office. The air con was down again. I think they should really do something about the air con system. To improve them or something. Or life would be like a sauna inside the office.
Went for a short shopping trip after my work. Went to orchard and ran into koh on the train. By the way, he's my upper study. Miss his company lots man. Cause I am so alone in the office. Talked a lot before I went to shop around for valentine's gift. I also bought something for myself since I will be getting nothing for valentine's. LOL...
Went home after that and my dad ate up all my peanut cookies without leaving a single one for me. Fed up... Why can't people spare a thought for others? I only wanted to eat that one and only goodie... Zzz...

Wonderful Day Today
Look at the spread!!! Yummy!!
Today was a wonderful day for me. At least I felt super happy today. met up with geraldine at 12:30 pm today. Went for lunch at Ocean Seafood. I loved the curry fish head there. It has a yummy good taste which I never forgot. Ordered abalone mushroom and cockles to go with it. the taste makes me want to go for more!
We then took a bus to marina square to catch The Mist based on the novel By Stephen King. It was a good triller and full of suspense. I loved the way the director put the story into life. But what disgusts me was the ending. I always loved shows with nice endings. So this kind of ending puts me off.
Met up with shumin and keng kai after the show for dinner. We went to mankansutra for our dinner which was slightly after DXO. We had satay, fried hokkien mee, carrot cake and chicken wings! Really ate to my maximum. Felt like a big pig today. Tomorrow have to start my run again. Otherwise I will celebrate CNY with my tummy.
Went shopping after. Me and keng kai bought a V necked brown shirt each which was exactly the same design. 2 for $29. Cheapskate us. Haha... but it's cheap and nice. I needed the shirt anyway. And that's about it for the day. =)

Moody and Tired
Sad to say, I have been in low spirits these few days. I don't know what's come over me to feel this way. I am also questioning myself what am i feeling this way. Chinese new year is just next week but I seriously don't feel anything about it. To me, it's just another holiday. Not much point to go out bai nian, just a waste of time to me. But I still have to. Totally sian.
Didn't run today. My body has been feeling kind of weird lately. All the things of the past has came back to haunt me. So I decided to let my body take a break and rest up for a bit. Shall continue this Sunday hopefully.
Shopped around in IMM today to just relax myself a bit and to get some ideas for valentine's. Unfortunately there was none really. Just got myself a small glass cup.
Been thinking a lot lately about my present and future. Lots of things are swirling in my mind. Somehow I can't stop thinking of it. Guess I am stressed up. A bit emotional too. Honestly, I wish I could turn back the time... to the times where it was happy and easy.
