New Toys

Last night, I companied my friend 'Li'l Buddha's wifey' to go buy shoes at Queensway Shopping Centre and we dropped by at IKEA for dinner. Yummy... the meatballs were nice but I like the chicken wings. Will bring Piggy, Chicky and wife there one day.... sure they will like it.

I ended up buying a 'NEW' toy for 'Cutie Pie'. It's a Giraffe in a 'Strawberry' vehicle. It's KAWAII though it's just a simple soft cushiony toy. I call it 'Ms. Spotty'. I hope she will like it.

Today, I bought some 'NEW' toys for myself. It's the 'Mr. Men & Little Miss' collection that is selling at 7-11. Not sure if they sell this back in Malaysia. I just want to get 'Ms. Notti' and 'Ms. Sunshine' BUT I don't see any of them even after buying 4 capsules. = ((

One capsule is $1.80 and there's 2 characters inside. You will need to purchase something from 7-11 before buying the capsules. Maybe I will try my luck again tomorrow... Remind me of those days when I so crazy about 'dan-dan' (capsules) with pooh inside. hahaha...

Now I have 2 Ms. Shy, 2 Mr. Greedy, 2 Mr. Small, 1 Mr. Nosey and 1 Mr. Happy .

OMG... ppl at 'Lion City' are really 'X-treme'. I just try to google on this 7-11 promotion and I find out some of the sites below...

Now, these 3 are the most popular and wanted characters. People are willing to pay $10 for any one of these characters and up till $15 for Ms. Notti.

Mr. Strong

Mr. Bump

Ms. Notti

And there are people who bought more than 60 capsules. Oh no... does it mean that I will not get my favourite Ms. Notti... = ((( Or maybe this promo is just a hoax... there's only 1 Ms Notti out of millions out there... It's like trying to win lottery. And I'm always never lucky. Sigh...

Lovely Cutie Pie

'Cutie Pie' is getting cuter and cuter each day. Now she is so FUN to play with. Her hair just started to grow back after the shave couple of weeks back. She's with her new buddy, 'GOOFY', a new toy I got her when I went back for the weekends.

She's now 4 months plus and she's about 7kg. My friend's baby is only coming to 7kg nearing 1 year old. She's really growing fast.... so chubby and so nice to hug. She loves it when you sing her songs or tell her stories.

Seeing her really makes you 'HAPPY' even when you're dead tired. = ))

Potato in Japan taste better?!?

My colleagues all trying to place orders to ask me to buy this potato snack above, which is the french fries sold in small packs in a box of 10s. Ain't that cheap also... I think it's about 400Yen per box, which is about RM12. Everyone like it so much, saying that it's so yummy and tasted so different from other potato chips. For me, I can't really differentiate it. It tasted very potato and quite fresh only. Hahaha...

My boss was telling me that it's pretty hard to get this snack. He only managed to find it in Chitose Airport, where everyone was rushing to grab a box of it. Hahaha... so funny ya... Well, I'll know when I'm in Japan. = p

Swim VS Run

Last night, I went for a swim instead of hitting my usual favourite GYM... coz of my poor knees are still not fully recovered...

Swimming VS Running.... I prefer swimming than running but I'm lousy at swimming. At least I can run 10-15km but Swimming... ahemm...ahemm....I'm still learning the correct techniques for my breast strokes and freestyle. I can swim but it just doesn't seem right and does not move fast. Hahaha... now learning from my friend, Ms. Sunshine for free. Thought of signing up swimming classes but bit pai seh. :p

I felt so tired doing the laps even for such short distance. It's worst than going for 2 to 3 gym classes continuously. I feel that I can run for a long distance without feeling tired but swimming such short distance make me so tired.

Ms. Sunshine said she didn't feel a thing. Of course, she can swim like a mermaid. She thinks running and swimming is the same. Well, for me definitely is not the same. I got friends who can swim like a fish but can't even run 1km and some who can run 42km but can't even swim.

I guess I gotta train more and practise on my strokes. Maybe when I get my strokes and techniques correct, I won't get tired that easily. Anyway, I still prefer my gym classes. I miss STEPS, PUMP and ZUMBA!!! = ((( I hope my knees recover quickly....

CARE BEARS

CARE BEARS!!! They are as popular as 'My Little Pony' and 'Transformers' last time. Not sure if all of you still remember all these cartoons. I love to watch 'Care Bears' and 'My Little Pony' last time. They all look so cute with their own special characters, which can be identified through the symbols on their tummy, also known as the 'belly badges'. I always love watching them playing in the clouds and when I was li'l kid, I imagine myself floating in the clouds.

There are so many 'Care Bears' characters created and there were even the 'Care Bear Cousins' range created. I still like the original characters such as below:-

Bedtime Bear: Blue with sleepy moon on tummy, always feeling sleepy, helps everyone have a good night sleep and sweet dreams.

Birthday Bear: Golden yellow with candle on cupcake on tummy, always waiting to celebrate everyone's birthdays.

Cheer Bear: Pink with rainbow on tummy, always trying to make everyone more cheerful.

Friend Bear: Yellow with 2 intertwined smiling flowers on tummy, always a friend to everyone.

Funshine Bear: Yellow with smiling sun on tummy, always smiling and ready to have fun all the time. (*just like Ms. Sunshine)

Good Luck Bear: Green with 4 leaf clover on tummy, always bring everyone good luck.

Grumpy Bear: Blue with stormy cloud on tummy, always feeling grumpy. (*just like Ms.Bad.. haha..)

Love-A-Lot Bear: Pale pink with one red heart and one pink heart on tummy, full of love and affection for everyone.

Tender Heart Bear: Brown with big red 'HEART' on tummy, helps everyone show and express their feelings. (*this is GUY friend's favourite bear)

Wish Bear: Turquoise with rainbow and smiling star on tummy, helps everyone makes a wish.

I just suddenly recall on it when we were laughing at one of our guy friend who spent his whole night chasing after 'Care Bears' cartoons. Hahaha... not gonna mention who else I will 'RIP'. Just can't imaging a guy liking 'Care Bears' huh... Anyway, it's not wrong. How come girls can like 'Transformers' and guys can't like 'Care Bears' or 'My Little Pony' or even 'Strawberry Shortcake'?!? It's rare but possible... = ))

Check this out if you don't know what is 'CARE BEARS'

Trust me... some people really don't know and never heard of 'CARE BEARS' before... guess different generation.... hahaha.... at least they are cute NOT LIKE 'TELLY TUBBIES'!!! :p

Weekend Outing: Kangxi Emperor Exhibition

This weekend's hommies and I have an outing to the 'Asian Civilisation Museum' for the 'Kangxi Emperor - Treasures from the Forbidden City Exhibition'. We all thought that the exhibition's last day was today till we reached the entrance of the museum. Hahaha.. all the rush today but the exhibition was extended from 14 June to 28 June 2009.

The exhibition was quite interesting though I'm not that well versed with China History. Kangxi Emperor is the longest reign emperor in China.One of my hommie said that everything mentioned by the museum is good thing on the emperor... which is pretty different from the movies filmed. Maybe in movies, there are twist and turn here and there. We spent about 2-3 hours there as hommies rushing to next stop, PC FAIR at Suntec City.

After the exhibition, we went for lunch. My hommies keep trying to get me to go to the PC Fair along with them but I decided to go to gym instead BUT.. BUT... BUT... how forgetful I am... I forgot my house keys!! Today really Ms Forgetful... And I just realized it when I reached home... Arrghhh!!! Luckily, my gym mate came to rescue me... go collect the key from my hommie and rushed over. Went to gym class so late today... break record, went in class about 25 mins later... lucky instructor never scold... maybe coz regular... hahaha... *phewww....

After all the rush whole day, towards the end of day... Piggy made us some nice pasta with her own 'secret recipe', despite being so tired after fighting her way in the CRAZY crowds in PC FAIR. Hahaha...TQTQ PIGGY!! =@>

Life is like 'non-stop' races...

"Winning does not always mean being 1st...
...Winning means you're doing 'BETTER' then you've done before"--- Bonnie Blair---

Checked the timing for the SUNDOWN run... Timing not that great but at least got slight improvement compared to the last 10km I did during SHAPE run. 4 mins faster... haha...

Last year's SHAPE Run I took 1:21:02.10 to complete the 10km. This time I took 1:17:19.89, using 37 mins to run the 1st 5km and 40 mins to run the remaining 5km. I think I could have done better if there's more water points and my knee is in good condition.

Next run will be SHAPE Run on 19th July 2009. = )

Hiking@Bukit Timah Hill

Another weekend outing with friends to Bukit Timah Hill for hiking. It's actually the tallest hill in Singapore standing at 163.3m at the summit. The hike was NOT tough at all though we took the difficult route. Even Piggy thinks it's 'sup sup water' and always walking so fast and ahead of us most of the time. Hahaha... BUT we did enjoy ourselves. At least, we've all been to this part of 'Lion City'. Next outing will be another place we've never been to. Hahaha... Soon, there will be no more new places to go to...

We spent our whole Sunday morning hiking and leisuring at the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. After the hike, we pig-out at the mamak store nearby. There goes the effort in losing calories.. kekeke...=p
