RED like Lobster... due to RSAF 2008

I'm not totally burnt today after the whole morning in the hot sun... visiting the "RSAF - Republic of Singapore Air Force Open Day" today. (30.08.08) They were celebrating their 40th anniversary and provided free shuttle for public at a couple of bus interchange. I didn't expect so many people to turn up at the event. It was pretty interesting though...

This is how I look like now... super RED like Lobster... didn't realize till I took my bath. =p

Initially, thought of tanning myself a little... to get rid of my white chicken wings arms... BUT... it turned out to be cooked chicken wings... a bit overdone.... kekeke...

We spent about 3-4 hours there during the morning... though a bit BURNT but we enjoyed ourselves with the activities.... Aerial display.... Arming display... Aircraft display... played some kiddo games and won some li'l prize... Too bad, just didn't have the luck to win the lucky draw in order to sit in the flying 'Air Balloon' and 'Air Craft'...

Had FUN taking pictures though... the SKY was very BEAUTIFUL.... = )

Here's some of the little gifts won... by playing the kiddo games.... hahah... BIG KID...

* I asked this guy friend of mine to join us.... His response was: Not interested in Air Force... they are SHOW-OFF... haha... maybe he jealous or really no like Air Force at all..BUT lucky he no come also...else will complain like MAD under the HOT Sun...kekeke....

Lovely ~ANGEL~

Bought this 'ANGEL' figurine while shopping at Takashimaya with my mom when she is in Lion City. Don't you think it look so LOVELY?!?

It's not the SHOP but the individual's ATTITUDE...

Today, I went to another "Better Vision" optical shop at Compass Point, Sengkang. There's really a BIG difference between this shop's services and the other one at Novena Square. The services at NS sucks. I booked an appointment at this shop about 2 weeks ago. When they wanted to change my appointment, they actually called to inform me in advance and asked which time is convenient to me. When I reached there, I was served pretty well with the courtesy and patience. They didn't even show me unhappy faces when I didn't buy anything from there but told me that I can come by anytime and just give them NRIC number and they can find my records easily. Now, that's what I call good service and great attitude. The optometrist was also a very nice, sweet young lady. Will recommend my friends to go there...


At last, I got my FREE 5 pairs of 'Aqua Comfort Plus' Focus Dailies contact lenses. Gonna try it out tomorrow to see how good it is. The current normal lenses actually can get very dry when you wear for LONG hours and sometimes it's pretty hard to take it off. Let's see what had been enhanced in these new lenses. = ))

Reverse Crunch

picture source: http://exercise.about.com

Lately, me and my gym buddy keep going for abs classes:- Ab Fab, Bodylicious... and other classes such as Body Pump and Aerobics, which also work out on our Abs.

My gym buddy trying to get her 6 packs... hehehe... and she wants to get Jolin's arms... =p

Usually, we will do the sit-ups, crunches... and also 'REVERSE CRUNCH'... which I find it very difficult... always end up cheating.. by swinging up our legs in the air... hahaha...

The correct way is to lift up your legs high up in the sky without moving other parts of your body and using the core muscle at your Abs. Trust me, it ain't easy... you can try it out! If you can do this for 10 mins everyday, I'm sure you will get a flatter tummy... = ))

BUT still a looonnnng way to go for us... maybe in our dreams. kekeke...

Mooncakes in a creative way...

My friend forwarded me an advert the other day... think it's pretty interesting... so I'm sharing it here... mooncakes in a creative way... pretty interesting to market it this way... kekeke...

'Pat Yuet Sat Em'... in cantonese... it means 15 Aug but sometimes they also use it for 'butt'....haha... round butt like the moon.. coz on the 15th....it's full moon.... = ))

KL is so not SAFE...

Just back to Lion City after having a short break in KL...

Boy.. KL is really not so safe... Went to church with 'Froggie' this morning at PJ and after mass, while walking towards her car... her bag got snatched by this motorcyclist.

It happened so fast and she was really shocked to response. By the time, we realize it, it was too late to check out the bike's license plate. It was real lucky that 'Froggie' didn't get hurt but still she was very sad coz she lost her fav handphone and all the important cards are inside the bag.

I hope this incident will bring all the BAD luck away from her and all the good ones will follow soon... Cheer up, Froggie!!

So, you all out there... be careful with your bags... especially the gals slinging the bags at the shoulders... you might get hurt if they snatched and drag you along...

Today's Horoscope = )

It's definitely important to keep a balance in your life, but don't beat yourself up if you just can't do it, today. Sometimes you get into phases where all you want to do is relax -- and sometimes you get into phases where all you want to do is work. It's not the end of the world. You can't force yourself to mix things up if you just don't feel like it. Cut yourself some slack and don't try to be perfect. No one expects it of you, so why would you expect it of yourself?

* morale of the story... just live life simple and don't expect so much... think sometimes i just expect too much and get myself so stressed...

Really worked out 2day

Initially, today planned to go for 3 gym classes: Body Balance, AbFab & Step101 but ended up going for the later 2 instead coz suddenly auntie just come visiting without informing. No wonder these few days bit moody and keep feeling hungry and tired. Hahaha..

The AbFab class was really good... really worked my abs today BUT some of the moves still cannot really do and it's not easy. Really admire how the instructor does it... like with no effort... his abs is so strong. Guess need LOTS of practise... time and hard work.

The Step101 was good but can't really follow. This is the 1st time going to this instructor's class. Gosh, really not like 101... more like 201... seriously, he was doing it so fast with so many turning and changes, a lot of people just can't follow. He does it continuously non-stop and never really show you the steps slowly step by step. BUT if you can follow, the steps and workout is quite good. Felt so damn tired after the class or maybe coz it's my auntie in action...

Tomorrow hopefully still have the energy to go for my Aerobics class. = ))

Y need APPOINTMENT?!?

Today, I got really pissed off by this guy at the Optical store. I made an appointment at 5pm to claim my FREE 5 pairs of latest new 'AquaComfort Plus' Focus dailies contacts as I got this voucher from 'SHAPE' run. The condition is I must make an appointment and have my full eye consultation before I can claim it.

When I reached there with my friends, nobody came to entertain us at all... leave us waiting there for quite awhile. When that guy walked over, he didn't even say sorry to keep us waiting and ask us to come back at 5:30pm. Helloooo?!? We made an appointment at 5pm and you never even inform us earlier that we have to wait another 30 mins.

Some more... he dare to tell us... 1st come 1st serve... those people in the room book 4:30pm. And he added that even if you go clinic, you also have to wait. Wahhh... really wanna box him leh.. I guess he don't know what is an 'APPOINTMENT'... if you cannot finish giving consultation within 30 mins, then why schedule appointment every 30 mins. Else, if you need people to wait coz of uncertainty in the time, then please inform over the phone of such thing. Some more, the person who took the booking told me it can be just a short consultation. If it is 1st come 1st serve, at the 1st place, why bother to ask people to book appointment. Then, might as well ask people come and wait.. and wait... and wait... to have this kinda service. =p

My friend tell me... FREE stuff is this kinda service... Well, if don't want to give, then don't sponsor and give voucher offering the free stuff right... Hmm.. BETTER VISION huh... sure or not... definitely NOT better service or better attitude... I'll make sure non of my friends or people that I know go to that branch, which is at Novena. And the guy's name is 'Edwin'....=p

With this kinda attitude and service, I bet you will not have BETTER SERVICE ok.

Everyone rushed back to watch but I left office late... so not in time... anyway, my hommies both watching different shows on TV, one busy chasing Korean series and another watching 'Ghost Whisperer'... so I end up online here, blogging. Hahaha..

My colleague send me this path from youtube... to cheer me up...

Chipmunks singing 'Ji-Pa-Ban' -- u will need to understand Hokkien in order to listen to this song... "If I had 1 million..." quite a popular song.

Then, I found some funny videos of the song in different versions... Hahaha.. so funny...
Check it out! Some even got lyrics... kekeke...

She said if she kenak the '8 million' toto, I can go hols with her... hahaha... Now in SG, they have this 8 million draw toto... Well, that's sweet of her. Then, I tell her... I never even buy TOTO coz I don't have such luck...


*** I think every time I do certain things... then sure some things will happen... I'm not sure if it's just coincidence or it's just destined and cannot be avoided... That's life I guess... Next time, I just don't simply say or do things...

Chicken Wing Arms = ((

Today Body Pump instructor said we all have 'CHICKEN WING' arms when doing our triceps push-ups... so = (((... must work extra hard to get 'STRONG' arms... and hopefully can do proper triceps push-ups... No wan 'CHICKEN WING' arms!! = p

No Turning Back...

Just registered for my JLPT- Japanese Language Proficiency Test - Level 4 today. So, there's no turning back for me but just to study and pass the exam. Hahaha... Mrs. 166... let's do it together! With the power of your 166 & Vit-C... =))

I didn't know the registration was quite cheap... about SGD35.00. I wonder how much is it back in MY... must check it out with my Jap kaki back in KL. So 'kan-cheong'... it's only about 4 months away... My exam is gonna be on Sun, 7 December 2008. Gambatte!!

Guinness 9 Ball Tour

Last weekend, Guinness had a 9 ball tour at Novena Square. It was pretty interesting... but I did not go watch the event. I just dropped by to watch the function they have... for public to challenge their 2 Guinness ladies... and some pro showing their skills of pool-tricks and game.

If NOK is in Spore, her hands would be itch-ing and she would sure want to challenge them. The 2 gals were good. Actually they are trying their best to let the opponents win... haha.. they always make sure that the balls were right in front of the holes for their opponents... but some of them still missed the shots... guess it takes some skills and practises. I like to play but I'm no good at it... haha... good at shooting the white ball in the hole. = p

KFC Variety Meal

Few days ago, I went to KFC with my housemate for dinner. We ate the Variety Meal which is under promotional price $5.95 with usual price $9.70. It tasted quite good for the price but I wonder why it looks so much different from the picture in the advertisement compared to what I've eaten... Haha.. maybe my photography skills suck that's why... My hommie said this is not available back in Msia.. not sure bout this... will check it out when I'm back in Aug.. = )

This is how it looks like on the advertisement... GOOD right?!? heheh...

And this is how the actual thing looks like with my small digital camera... Hahahaha... looks so much different right?!? =p

Last weekend was like just yesterday...

Time really flies...

Last weekend was like just yesterday. Before you realize it, another week just passed and it's weekend again. And as usual the best part, which is the weekend always passes very quickly, double the speed of weekdays. hahaha...

Last weekend was a packed one for me.... tiring but it was a really GOOD one.

It started out with FRI nite, I went for the SG flyer for free due to our 'IT-Nite'. It's like the 'The Eye of Malaysia' but I never even went for a ride there, just took some pictures. If you ask me to pay and go for the ride, I don't think I would... coz it's SGD29.90 for 30 mins ride and there's nothing much to see...


After the ride, my colleagues and I went for a Durian X-pedition. We went to eat durian at 'Four Seasons' famous for it's 'Mao Shan Wang' (some durian grade... like D24, etc... dun ask me how to differentiate coz I only know how to eat durian.. haha...) BUT it was damn X-pensive ok... the 2 durians costed SGD80++... and it was not that good. I was shocked to hear the price...

Then, we headed to another place in Geylang... it was much better... but I still think it's expensive... That night, we ate about 5 big durians and costed about SGD100++... I think with the same amount of $$$ can eat lots of durians in MY. Hahaha... But it was FUN. Anyway, no more durians for me now... Enough for the time being...

That night, after durian... reached home almost midnight... My bro came to SG that night... so we end up sleeping around 1am++... The next morning, I had to wake up at 6am... to go for the South Ridge Walk... I almost fainted... My bro supposed to join us but could not wake up at all. Hahaha... The walk was pretty fun. We took about 3-4 hours strolling slowly, taking pictures and ate breakfast along the way... It was about 9km walk with interesting sights... We walk through a few different trails... i.e. henderson waves, alexander arch, faber walk, forest walk, floral walk and hort park. I wanted to do some tanning of my uneven tone shoulders/arms that day but there was no sun the whole morning... how disappointing...

Basically, I was out from morning 6am++ till mignight that day.... I went Jap class in the afternoon... After that, I met up with my bro and some friends for dinner before heading to this 'Night Festival' function at the National museum. It was quite an interesting event with the light installation of the museum and we get to visit the museum for free... My camera battery was flat by then... so not much pix taken... = )) My bro had fun as well...
