Wednesday is the bluest day.

And here I was happy about not having serious Monday blues at the start of the week, Wednesday turned out to be a bad day after all.-.-"" I just hate the feeling. It's even worse than feeling sick and still have to go work.

Early morning, I was the wooden block for the "boss". Got "arrowed" till crazy. I spent the day clearing all the "arrows" and in the end I didn't even get to do what I wanted to do. I don't mind helping, but at least be a bit more appreciative. Don't just ordered people around. 

And the mood is already at the bottom of the hole. And I was told I had to work on Monday, when I had my plans all out nicely.

What can get even worse than this? Maybe another round of quarrel? In the end, I rushed home for nothing, because Mummy thought I'm not coming home for dinner, and she gave all the food to neighbours. And I totally lost my appetite. So I kept myself in the room. Naturally, the tears came again. :'( 

And here I am, hungry in the middle of the night. Wondering whether I can take a day off. I just wanna be alone for the time being. 

I still wanna eat my 汤圆!!!! 

If only Aiko is here, she will listen to all my sorrows and nagging. And she will keep me warm, sleeping besides me at night with her paws on my face. :))) I missed her. Terribly.

:))) She's a beauty, isn't it?

:) Monday isn't that blue after all

:) It's the start of the week, feeling tired from coughing the whole night. *bleah!* And bitter medicine awaits me.-_-""

But dinner was FUN! :) hehehe! All thanks to 王爸爸! 

And he's really observant. Brought me to dinner at a Japanese restaurant because he thinks I need some hot soup (which I really need, was feeling cold). ^_^!!! Lots of chit-chatting, including choosing his baby's name. HOHO! :)))

Once again, 破费了. Someday it'll be my treat. Don't argue with me. HAHAHAHA! 

Bride of the World 2010

Have you ever seen how a beauty pageant is recorded live in a real studio? How many people are involved in creating the whole production? :))) 

Well, neither do I until Mr. won tickets to the preview of Bride of the World 2010! *excited!* 

:) I would definitely say this pageant is 打开眼界 for me, cause I haven't seen so many beauties at one go before. HAHAHA! And imagine how Mr. is feeling. The eyes are practically glue to the front. *LOL!*

1st category: Cultural costume. :) The ladies are dressed in costume that best represent their country. Very colorful with some wearing some very 夸张 head accessories. I bet they are duper heavy on their head.   

As I mentioned, this is not live on TV, but recorded first. Thus, once the first category is over and results are out for the top 15, we had to wait for quite long before they resumed the recording. To get the ladies prepared and dressed for the next round of competition. 

And while waiting, we have to entertained ourselves by sitting there, doing nothing. -_-"" Yeah, quite boring and both our stomachs are growling madly. Mr. didn't managed to get a half day off, so I went over to fetch him from work and rushed down straight. 

Most of the audiences are delegates from individual countries. Some are family members there to cheer their ladies on. :))) As for the rest, mostly are members from People's Association (PA) so that they can create lots of cheering noise. HAHAHA! And we managed to mix inside with them, so we can get to make lots of noise too. ^_^!!!

The clappers to make lots of noise!!! (^_^!!!) And to save our hands. If not I'm sure the next day, our hands will be super sore. HAHAHAHA!

2nd category: Sport wear. HAHAHA! I was kind of expecting the ladies to wear swim wear out and was disappointed when it turned out to be sports wear. -_-"" Hey! I also know how to appreciate good figures OK? :))) But then, they looked gorgeous with the attire on. A tint of sexiness and gracefulness. 

And once it's over, top 5 is reviewed. :)) These top 5 will move on to the last category which is the bridal wear. Hehehehe! Usually the last category is the evening gown, but then this is the Bride of the world, so the last category must be bridal wear. And I must say they looked stunning! hehehehe! 

I ♥ the Peru's gown the most!!! :))) Hehehehe! I always like a white gown with some other colors on it. A bit of red or black will be the best. ^_^!!! Hers was a long white gown, with a red ribbon (I'm describing it in very simple words. There are more details to it!) 

After the Bridal gown, the last stage is the Question and Answer. Nothing surprising, usual questions you will hear in these beauty pageant. :))) And finally, the moment awaits, the crowning of the Bride of the World 2010. Hehehehe! We were told not to say anything about the results until 24th December. And I intend to keep the winner a secret first. Hehehehe!

So till then, be patient and wait for it to air on TV. And maybe you can spot me in the audience. ^_^!!! HAHAHAHA!

*I'm already starting on another post. A summary of year 2010.*

What can be more true than this?

I saw a picture on Karin's entry and definitely couldn't agree more.

"No one ever gets tired of loving.
But everyone get tired of waiting, assuming, hearing promises, saying sorry and all the hurting."

Isn't that true? :) And this is what we called LIFE.

His first time!

Last Saturday, I went over to Raffles Studio to collect the family photo! :)) Definitely excited about it since it's our first time going to a Studio for a shoot. :)) The photos are great, and is now proudly on display in the living room! ^_^!!!

Waited for Mr. to come over to fetch me (^_^!!!) and because he didn't eat his lunch (all because of work, -_-""), I decided to bring him to.......

HAHAHAHA! I have been telling him how much I enjoyed myself whenever I go into this restaurant. My brother recommended this place to us, and I totally ♥ the food there. :)))) These are only just some dishes that we ordered. There are more, just that we're busy eating and totally forgot about snapping the food. /glutton! 

Supposed to  be an artistic shot, but turns out to be quite a failure. HAHAHA! Will try to improve on it! ^_^!!! 

Anyway, while eating he was complaining about eating in such expensive restaurant. Hehehhe! Usual nagging about spending these unnecessary money. But then I managed to convince him that it's only once a blue moon. ^_^!!! I was enjoying my dinner, but he wasn't that huge a fan of PT. Seems like some of the dishes doesn't suit his taste buds. *bleah!* 

Off for some bowling session. Both of us got a bowling tournament this week, so we decided to have a head start first to brush up our skills. And gosh, I totally spoil my reputation there. HAHAHAHA! Even the kids are laughing at me. Can you imagine how ma-lu I am? *blush!* 

:)) A long day outside, and thanks to him I was smiling throughout the 2nd half of the day. 

This shall be my next post! :) Shall tell you guys more during the weekend! ^_^!!!

******On a side note******

“第一次跌倒，感到非常疼。 为什么还要让自己再次跌呢？” The only console I can give myself is that the 2nd time is not as painful. Because I got myself into this mess, so I need to clear it away myself. Some people are not worth the tears anymore.

Am a happy girl now, finally I know the importance of The one whom I should care about.

Guilty, am I?

Guilt is like a parasite, that will eat you alive.

But only if you let it. Live with it, what's done already been done.

Can I convinced myself that?

Baoling can bowl? No, she can't -_-""

Our first Christmas tree @ Safra Tampines. HAHAHA! :)))

Must be wondering why we're there. Well, not for swimming nor for their gym.

But to train our bowling skills! *shaking head*

Ohh man, I'm seriously thinking of getting a MC this coming Thursday now.

SCMS 2010

5th December 2010 marks my first run in the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore. And no, I didn't had a good experience. -_-""" Maybe it's my first and last time joining this run. *bleah!* 

Why didn't I enjoy the run? Very simple! Just imagine this crowd.

And it's only a small part of those that is running the 10kM. o.O!!! We had to queue slowly to go up the starting point and we are 10 minutes later than the flag-off time. And no, this is not the worse part. We had to wait an hour before we passed the start point. It was already 0840. The sun is up and strong, running in this condition is even more tedious. 

Look at the crowd behind us! Man, this is one huge event. Too many people, too little space to run. 

Anyway, once we started the run, it was quite messy. Some of them is not even running (even though it's just the start of the run) so we had to zig-zag here and there to move forward. And the 1st water point is at 3k point, but it was super crowded so I decided to skip it, and move on. Dehydrating like mad running under the super hot sun, and I can't wait for the next water point. 

Finally, at 5k point, it was another water point. I managed to get a cup of 100 plus (100 plus never look so delicious to me than at the moment). ^_^!!!!

And, when I was about to take a mouthful of water....BANG! The cup flew off my hand and landed on the floor. =.=|| Someone didn't look where he is running, and knock that cup off my hand. And he totally ignore me and just kept on running. WTH! Can you imagine how much I wanted to chase after him and kick his ass?! *_*!!! 

I was just too lazy to go back and squeeze with the others for another cup. So no choice, but to move forward to the next point (which for your information is at the 8k-point *damn far!*) I was literally losing water like no business. *>.<""*

Good thing is that the route was alright (compared to GE and Nike City) because we get to see more buildings and landmarks. But of course, more slope to conquer. And when there's a slope, usually people don't run and just take their time walking, which is alright with me. But then when the Full marathon and half marathon people starts to come in, it was so crowded. And honestly, very dangerous. I heard that there's quite a number of people injured.
 

"We pay to suffer." HAHAHA! Quite true isn't it?

Right after the run, waiting for to go makan. And replenish the H2O I had lost. :)))

I waited for Mr. to come back from his full marathon. He looked damn shag right after the run, till I almost wanted to call for medical help. LOL! Anyway, poor him because someone told him the wrong directions for the baggage counters. -_-"" So no choice, but to slowly make the way back to F1 pit and I made him sit there while I go collect his bag. (^_^!!! I'm so sweet, HAHAHA!) 

I'm proud of him for completing the whole run, and coming back in 1 piece. But I already warned him, no more FM. HAHAHAHA! It's so not good for the legs, especially the knees! And the shag look I see on him, makes me feel..........

And he let me wear his finisher T (for me to 暗爽, =.=||) with my medal. 

Ohh, and his friends made it back in time from the run. But they are equally shag, so I went on to collect their bags too. ^_^!!!

:)) This is the last run for Year 2010. I managed to complete 4 runs this year. *YAY!* And I already registered my first 2011 run. HAHAHA! 

*がんばつて!*

Fairytale is never real...but I got one :)

"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair"

:))) This is the golden hair girl I mentioned in the last post. ^_^!!!! Rapunzel!!!

I'm totally envious of her super duper long hair! HAHAHA! Maybe it's a bit too long, but how I wished I had my long hair back now, cause I missed braiding them. *beams!*

It was a impromptu movie. We were just loitering outside the cinema, and happened that this girl caught our attention. So we went ahead, and with 3D effects! ^_^!!! *YAY!* 2nd time! HOHO!

Anyway, I didn't quite know what's the story is about, just that this girl has long hair. Mr. updated me a bit during the advertisement so I have an idea what to expect. :))) And the moment the movie starts, I was smiling away like a kid. It's totally a kids' show, but really, 大人 like us should watch such movies to bring back some kids' memories. 

You can expect lots of musical, and some "can't believe it happens" stunts. Well, it's a Disney show so it's only right that there's magic in it. ^_^!!! This isn't a typical prince saves the princess show. The "prince" is actually a bandit that happened to chance upon this tall tower and thus, met the long hair. :))))

And the best part is this guard horse, Maximus. He can't stopped making me laugh like crazy. ^_^!!! It was a bit touching at the end (I cried, -_-""), but lucky it was a happy ending! I just ♥ happy endings. And it's back to reality when you step out of the theater.

But another surprise awaits me. ^_^!! Hehehehe! I was totally caught off guard by it.

See the happy me? *beams!* A new Minnie mouse for me and she's PINK! HAHAHA!

Thank YOU for everything you've given me. YAY to more of happy days ahead! ^_^!!!

Another weekend just passed with the blink of the eye

:) Had a fulfilling weekend! I believe it's well-deserved since it was such a long week of endless work. Kudos to my colleagues, Mr Lin, and of course the Blondie girl! :))) HAHAHA! Shall tell you guys more about them! :)))

Friday evening, we had our section gathering at Feast @ East (Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel) right after work. It was super last minute (I only made the reservations on Wednesday) since Boss requested to have it sooner. And due to tight budget (-_-"" Imagine each person only has less than 30 bucks for a decent buffet?!), we had to settle with Roxy (the card promotion, 1 dines free with 3 paying adult). :)))

The food wasn't that great, just average because I had tasted better than that. And the variety is SO little!!! Really, I had no idea what to eat because a lot of the stuff are raw which I can't take. That leave only those cooked food, which I can count with my 10 fingers. =.=|||

I was told that they are famous for their Laksa and so I went for it on my first round! HAHAHA! ^_^!!! Alright, I can't deny that it was good, and I enjoyed it. Usually the first dish that goes down your stomach will determine whether you will be able to enjoy the rest of the dinner. *HENG!* 

 

Sashimi is not for me! *>.<""*

The cooked food for my 2nd round. Like I say, the variety isn't that much, so I can't be too picky either. Wasn't that bad, but I think my mum cooked better. *thumbs up!* And the bread, I didn't eat it, just thought that it will look nice if I take a close up shot of it. ^_^!!!

Ohh, and this shot is just trying to show that my camera is wide angle. HAHAHA! Not too wide angle in this picture though, I guess I got the wrong angle. I worked better with my right hand. Hmmmm........

The guys (both process and equipment) enjoying a beer or two. ^_^!!!

The group photos! :) And yeah, I'm the only lady there. -_-""

The so-called 司机 who saved me from tons of cab fares. HOHOHO! ^_^!!!! *thank YOU!*

The Process (x3) VS Equipment (x1)! HAHAHAHA! And for the first time I see a playful sight of CM! LOL! Quite candid, and I'm loving each shot. ^_^!!!

Home sweet home right after that. Ohh, and I was still hungry. >.<"""

It's just me

I'm someone that is always open to ideas, and willing to accept them if you convinced me. Which is why I consider myself as a not-so-stubborn girl. ^_^!!! (Ain't that a plus point?)

If there's a time when I don't agree with you, it means that I'm not convinced. I don't care what's your reason, I just don't accept it. And the reason is simple, I just don't want to or I'm not ready for to accept. So either you listen to me, or forget about it. 

BUT don't force me to do something that I don't want to do at all. When I say no, it means no. Friends who understand me will know that. Unfortunately, some people don't.

That's just me, so for once, listen to me when I say no. Don't make me go through it again.

Just some complaining and nagging. I feel so much better now! HAHAHAHAHA! ^_^!!!!

Now, I really do own a car. With my name and number on it. How cool is that? ^_^!!!!

   

A song that says a thousand words

I know it's been some time
But there's something on my mind
You see, I haven't been the same
Since that cold November day...
We said we needed space
But all we found was an empty place
And the only thing I learned
Is that I need you desperately...

So here I am
And can you please tell me... oh

Chorus:
Where do broken hearts go
Can they find their way home
Back to the open arms
Of a love that's waiting there
And if somebody loves you
Won't they always love you
I look in your eyes
And I know that you still care, for me

I've been around enough to know
That dreams don't turn to gold
And that there is no easy way
No you just can't run away...
And what we have is so much more
Than we ever had before
And no matter how I try
You're always on my mind

chorus

And now that I am here with you
I'll never let you go
I look into your eyes
And now I know, now I know...

chorus

Meaningful song, and the lyrics do say some of the feelings.

BMW World 2010, Singapore

Honestly, I am seriously thinking of buying a car, just for the sake of practicing my driving skills, and at the same time to wake up a bit later every morning to get to work. You know, always sms-ing the colleague to get a ride can be quite maddening. Feeling 很不好意思, yet don't want to spend the $ on cab fares.

And while considering through the available cars, Boss Han invited us to go for the BMW World at Marina Bay Sands (MBS). HAHAHA! I'm not a huge fan of BMW cars, they are just too damn big and heavy. -_-"" But on the other hand, it will be a nice exposure and I haven't been to MBS before. So why not? ^_^!!!

Right at the entrance, we're greeted with a huge "Welcome" signboard. :)))

It's free admission for everyone, and we had pre-registered ourselves online before the show started. :) Each and everyone of us is entitled to a lucky draw (to win a trip to Germany! To visit their factory?) when we registered, and we are given this lanyard where our pass number is shown. 

It was quite crowded that day. Probably because it's the 2nd last day of the show, and everyone is coming down to have a look so as not to miss these "hard-to-come-by" car shows. I was greeted with a row of RED cars. Man, you've no idea how high I was. HAHAHA! I mean, the red is so pretty (Yeah, I ♥ red more!) and so seductive! ^_^!!! 

Don't ask me the specifications of individual cars. I know nothing about it. HAHAHA! They're too alien to me and the only specs I can understand is the fuel consumption. BMW cars do have high fuel consumption from what I see. -_-"" And the oil prices doesn't go down at all now. *Bleah!* 

I'm definitely not those "showgirl" type. Look how rigid I look in these photos. =.=|| HAHAHA! But then, the focus of the pictures is not me. :)))

This is the only car that I think looks cool, and smaller in size (as compared to other BMW cars) and it's hatch-back a.k.a no 屁股! HAHAHA! Making it easier to park! ^_^!!!! If only on display is a red one ~ *giggles!*

^_^!!! :) They have this iphone-look-alike camera for me to take shots with! *Cool!* Just too bad that there's too many people if not the background will be full of cars! HOHO!

New arrivals! ^_^!!! Both QL and MZ joined us after attending their friend's wedding! YAY! ^_^!!!!

By the time we left the show it was already 7 plus, and I was complaining hungry since the last meal I had was my breakfast. LOL! Carl's Junior we had and Cafe cartel's dessert! HOHO! And I concussed right after I reached home! (Maybe after an hour or 2 of surfing the net) -_-""
