Run, ran, running! :)

And after so many years of acting, he's still running as fast (at the age of 49!). *thumbs up!*



I just can't help but to admire his works.

Finally, after a year! :)

12th December 2010 was my last try to donate blood. And I failed. Because I didn't get to have enough Fe in my system. 

A year later, 16th December 2011, I sat there nervously waiting for my Fe results and praying that the value shown will be >12.5. If not it's another wasted trip and I got poked for nothing. LOL!

And there it was "13.6!" HAHAHA! I jumped up and went straight to find myself a chair to sit on! It means I can donate blood! WAHAHAHAHA! I guess those Fe supplements works and yeah, I'll continue eating them because I wanna be a regular donor from now on! :) 

:) And that's me with my blood flowing out and right into that duper big bag (It's 450mL btw). And looking good after the whole process. I'm kind of worried I'll feel faint since I haven't had my breakfast and lunch. *YAY!*

On a side note, many people had the wrong concept that donating blood is painful. I had the first hand experience, so let me tell you, the pain is just like an ant biting you. I won't deny that there's pain, but trust me, the pain is short-lived and seriously it's much lesser than if you knock yourself into the wall. ^_^!!!

So don't wait anymore, bring a smile to someone and save another life. :) It's just an hour of your time only, but you can give the person another chance to see tomorrow.

MI:4 is damn awesome! *^_^!*

:) 1 week ago I kept looking out for tickets to the premier of MI:4, and yes there was a special sneak preview at selected GVs! :)) 

Gotten my tickets right away to secure a good seat! ^_^!

I was so looking forward to the end of work so I can rush down for the movie! HAHAHAHA! And when I reached there, I was surrounded with "black people". First thought on my mind: Did I went to the wrong theater? And then when I see it's really MI:4, I thought maybe it's because tomorrow is a Black people's public holiday, which is not true. *Kept wondering why*

Show started and all the way I was kept occupied and right on the edge of my seat! :) Not going to tell you guys much about the plot, because I want you to go watch it yourself! ^_^!!! Those stunts that Tom Cruise did in the show is definitely worth your ticket price (and he's already 49!). 

One of my favorite lines from the movie:

Benji Dunn: (From trailer) [Showing a glove] Now remember: "Blue is glue!"

Ethan Hunt: And red?

Benji Dunn: Dead.

Alright, it might not sound funny here, but if you combined with all the funny expressions from their faces, you'll laugh.

And almost through the end of the show, I finally know why there's so many black people. It's because the last part of the show is filmed in India? Just a wild guess. HAHAHAHA! And after this show, I totally have a different mental image of India. You'll understand when you watched the show. WAHAHAHAHA!

Don't wait, go buy yourself a ticket. (If you guys need someone to accompany you, I don't mind watching a second time. ^_^! I'm a BIG Fan of T.C!)

Here's the trailer for you:

And not to forget this show is doing advertisement for both Apple and BMW! Now I know that iPhone can do more than just whatsapp and facebook-ing! And all those BMW cars are just too gorgeous to crash into one another! HAHAHA! Quite wasted!

Last night was a great night! ^_^!!!

SSMC Carnival cum Family Day 2011

It's true that just for the 4 hours of event for people to enjoy and have fun, will require 10 times more of your time to plan and prepare for it. But I'm really glad that the event turn out to be a success and everyone went home a smile on their face. ^_^!!!

This is just a short Thank You post, for everyone that has helped me in one way or another throughout the 2 weeks of planning. (Bear with me, it might get nag-gy!) 

1) SRC Team (You know who you are!)

Without you guys I'm pretty sure the whole event will not even get approved by the MT. HAHAHA! Each of you played a different part to make this Carnival so successful and memorable. And also through this whole process, I get to know each of you better. And that's the most important 收获 for me. 

2) My Diffusion peeps (Shu Fen, Wei Zhong & Keith)

Many thanks to Shu Fen for agreeing to be the Stall Manager and planning the details with me right from the start. The ideas for each stall to the allocation of prizes to going to Giant to help me carry all the stuff back to company. You've been a great help (Truly!)

Wei Zhong, for helping to tend to the Game stall and keeping all the kids so entertained that they came back again and again to try and win all the prizes. HAHAHAHA! You're really good with kids, and of course at the last part of the whole carnival tending to the Drink stall.

Keith, for sponsoring so many EXPENSIVE gifts for our stalls. Man, I think those prizes worth up to $500? (or even more!). And not to forget, sending me around to get my logistics done. Appreciate your help!

3)  Mr Lin

Short and Simple: Always there for me! :) Alright, to elaborate more, he send me to Giant to get all my supplies back and carry all the heavy stuff for me. (Not enough?) For every night that I worked into the wee hours, he volunteer to drive me back home (which is like the other side of Singapore). And also to sleep in the car when I worked till 2am in the morning the day before the carnival before driving me back for some 2-3 hours of sleep. And all these are not part of his job, he's just doing them from his heart. :)

4) Everyone

For everyone who turned up for the event to support us, I really hope you guys had fun and enjoyed it as much as I did.

:) I'm glad the carnival is over, but yet a part of me still 舍不得 those weekly meetings where everyone gathers and discuss the smallest details.

Pictures will be uploaded at a later time, when all the official photographers have submitted their copy. I can't wait to see them! :))

Quote from a friend: It's through your hard times where you get to know who's really your friend. Now I really know who are my friends and who I should appreciate more.

Melting Pot Cafe

:) So here's what I promise you guys, an update on last Monday! 

Had to rush down to The Melting Pot Cafe (Holiday Inn Atrium) because work ended so late that day. Anyway, I left in the middle of the meeting, as Mr Lin is already waiting outside for more than half an hour. :( 

Took a cab down and was just nice in time for the reservations.

I was ravished and just started attacking all the food! LOL! I would say the food is just so-so only, have tasted better. But there's this beef stew that keep me very satisfied, and the amount I ate made me felt as though 我吃了一头牛! *LOL!*

Here's a shot of us playing with the Satay. ^_^!!!

Who says girls can't have a moustache? 

Rounds after rounds of food, and finally a cup of hot tea to clear our gastric.

 Of course, we can't leave without having some desserts right? :)

We went to explore the hotel and found that there's quite a number of function rooms. Among these rooms is their Atrium Ballroom. Not as big as I thought to be.

The one thing I super like when I entered the hotel is the super long columns where the lift operates. I would love a shot of the whole lift all the way till the roof top. But of course, I need to lie down on the floor to take such a shot? :)))

We played with the camera for awhile right in front of the hotel reception area (hoping that no one is looking at us).

 

:) I have been busy with the all the Carnival stuff that I don't get to spend much time with him. Gotta make up all the lost time when it's all over. 

3 events during the weekends (Total shagness!):

Saturday 3rd December - SSMC Carnival 2011

Sunday 4th December - Standard Chartered Marathon (Morning) and Wedding dinner (Night)

Can I choose 2/3 events to attend only? :(

Photoshoot in Sentosa

:) Here's a shot from the Photo shoot done a few weeks back in Sentosa. Of course, it's already edited with iPhone (as you can see). Shall upload the rest when I have edited them. LOL! ^_^!

Thanks to Ting, he's really great with cameras.

It's true

:( Couldn't agree more.

But then what can I do?

November, sweet November........

:) Now I can't wait for Monday to come, a mini-celebration! ^_^!!!

It doesn't have to be something grand, just a simple quiet dinner and I'm more than satisfied!

Maybe a little something sweet?

Tell you guys more next week! :)

October ended, November started

:) I missed blogging and it's been ages since the last post! October was a long month, packed weekends and never ending work.

Getting my schedule book all filled up is great, but then too energy drain! HAHAHA! Get down to business, a short summary of my BUSY OCTOBER! :))

First cycling trip to Changi Village - 1st October 2011, East Coast Park, Changi Village

Alright, I know you must be thinking " Are you kidding? This is the first time I cycle from ECP to CV?" HAHAHA! I'm not kidding, this is really my 第一次. I tried a few times, but always half way till the duper long runway, I turned back. That road is endless but my legs are so tired. 

It's an achievement, and it was nice just cycling with my colleagues. 

Will & Rita's Wedding - 8th October 2011 Fairmont Hotel, Singapore

I'm the Emcee again (3rd time?), and this time round it was under the scorching sun besides a swimming pool! :) Lovely day and scenery since the suite is at a high level and the room is BIG. HAHAHA! 

Lighting in the room is great, but then too much till I couldn't take a shot with the beautiful background. -__-"

MSE 20th Anniversary - 14th October 2011 Intercontinental Hotel

It's MSE that I met all these great friends and we could use a dinner gathering with them since everyone is so busy with work nowadays. 

We run Nike SG & Real Run 2011 - 9th & 16th October 2011

  

2 consecutive runs for 2 weeks is total shagness.

2nd Phuket trip - 16th - 19th October 2011 Amber Residence

Traveled by Silkair was quite a luxury as compared to other flights I have taken the past year (Not counting Taiwan trip). HAHAHA! And yeah, the services is good, and in-flight meals ain't that bad. ^_^! 

Stayed in Patong area, so much more convenient to travel around and save a lot of time. Hotel was simple, but clean (most importantly) with good breakfast. Spent much more on this trip since we did more activities this time round! Another first time for me: ATV! ^_^!!!

Super cheeky me, trying to find a spot in the photo when someone is trying to take a self-shot! *LOL!*

The rest of the photos are uploaded in FB.

Chun Teck's Farewell - 21st October 2011 Paulaner Millenia Walk

Simple dinner, just chit-chatting around the table. Quiet. 

Discovering Scuba Diving - 23rd October 2011, Safra Mount Faber

It's just a short course providing you with an oxygen tank to swim under the swimming pool. HAHAHA! But it's a new experience since I haven't carry an oxygen tank before, and it's really different swimming with the flippers and carry the tank.

A side view of me.

Kang Hua's Wedding - 30th October 2011 Suntec City Convention Center

Another Uni friend of mine got married! :) It was like another uni gathering with all my dearies around. I guess wedding is another good way to gather all the so busy friends! ^_^!

That's sort of summarize the whole month of October minus away the non-stop work! :) It's November now, and I can't wait for month end to come, because we're going to celebrate something special. ^_^!!!

Up in the Highlands :)

A picture says a thousand words.

Though it's only a 2D1N trip, we had lots of fun "shooting" one another and enjoying the greenery around! :) And getting freeze at night running around in shorts and a thin jacket! :)

Best of all, we talked a lot, to catch up on our daily life. LOL!

Up and downs is part and parcel of life. I guess facing death is just part of it too.

NEX-5 is my new toy! :)

:) In the mist of editing so many photos.....HAHAHA! Lots of Cameron Highlands shots coming up! *YAY!*

Favorite shot of the day:

I super love my NEX-5 now! HAHAHAHA! It might cost me a big hole in the pocket, but it's all worth it! :)

张学友 - 人在雨中

A good friend just told me that you don't need a reason to love someone. Come to think of it, I totally agree with it because I can't find a reason to prove her wrong. *HAHAHAHA!*

I'm hooked to another song of Jacky Cheung! ^_^!!! Now I'm waiting for it to rain, so I can dance along with the song (of course it's under the rain!)! :))

P.S: 2 long hideous week finally passed and he's safely back in 1 piece! ^_^!!! 

:'( :'( :'(

I don't feel appreciated at all. :'(

Giving and taking is always never a balance. Some people choose to give more, while others choose to be on the receiving end. Me? I always hope to strike a balance between these two. But still, sad to say, it's not easy at all. 

I guess that's the reality of life. Ups and downs. I just need to learn how to 看开点. 

Besides, I know there's someone who will truly appreciate who I'm really is.

私はあなたがいなくて寂しい

You're M.I.S.S.E.D! Come out quick and we'll be able to go learn how to use the NEX-5 together! :)

大头贴!!!!

:) Still trying to figure out and familiarize myself with the new camera. Just need to go out and start to snap some fun shots! ^_^!!!

Packed with pictures!

Finally I had the time to get all the Taiwan pictures from my sis. HAHAHA! I think it's duper long ago, but then with all the trips and work going on, getting enough sleep is already a big problem.

Just some random pictures because the sizes are too big and I'm too lazy to upload them 1-by-1, wahahahaha! ^_^!!

Alright, gotta admit once it comes to shopping, I'll be super 精神! :)) 

Still in Singapore, and I had already spend over a hundred bucks! -____-"" Feeling slightly better after the retail therapy! HAHAHAHA! Maybe it's all in the mind only.......

On board Cathay Pacific, on our way to Hong Kong first to before transiting to Taipei. All excited because I can't wait to watch the movies available. :) 

Mum N Me, waiting for the plane to take off :)

But then in the end, I slept throughout the whole journey. Was running a bit of fever, and keep running to the toilet due to the huge amount of water I consumed on board. *shaking head*

Sister N Me :)

While waiting for our brother to go get the train tickets to 花莲 the next day, we took some self shots at 台北车站, which is sort of similar to our City Hall. Interchange for us to change to the different MRT lines. :)

Made our way to 台北101 to have a look at the tallest (?) tower and to have our dinner. *stomach growling!* Passed by the 星光三月 (similar to Takashimaya, but much more atas) and was amazed by the amount of branded you can see in Taipei.

2nd day breakfast in the Hotel :)

On our way to 野柳 :) 

Lots of stone of different shapes and sizes. And the most famous being the "Queen's Head". HAHAHA! :) Super hot day, but lucky the stones are out at the sea so it was super windy! ^_^!!!

There's this one thing I feel that Singapore should practice such service is that they have a person on duty to help control the crowd. He will give instructions to tourists on queuing up to take photos and also to make sure that no one actually cut the Queue. This is good as the flow is very smooth and it's much faster. And it also help to create some employment opportunities isn't it?

Shall stopped at here, cause the photos sizes are real big and it's a bit hard to upload. LOL! Will upload more again! :))

Side note: It's funny why I'm having some mixed feelings now. I thought I convinced myself already, but then it's not true at all. *Sob* I want the old times.

Hard Rock! *YAY Baby!*

Pretended to be a tourist to Sentosa for a day. *LOL!* A bit "sua-ku", but we really didn't know our way around Sentosa. So much changes in such a short span of time.We alighted at the Imbiah Station and found a Sentosa Map in order to find directions to the Desperados and the Cineblast ride. A short walk and along the way took some pictures. As though we're really tourists and this is our 1st time here. *shaking head!*

 Snap a quick shot with the Merlion! :) Colorful parrots. They know how to strike a pose.

The Merlion statue, which I went up before! HAHAHAHA! But I remember not much view from the top either and there's a separate admission fee. Anyway, we found the directions and along the way saw this photo booth where there's lots of parrots hanging around. It's F.O.C to take photos with them and the crew also help to use your camera to snap a shot too.

We queued for 3 rides (main purpose of the trip): 

Desperados - Shooting game where you get to sit on a horseback and start shooting at the screen. Interesting because you'll be shaking around and holding the gun trying to aim at the bandits. But for 12 bucks? I don't think so. *LOL!*

Cineblast: Extreme Log ride - Sitting in a cabin (6 persons each) with a safety belt and a handler for you to hold on. Just imagine rushing through the deepest valleys, and flying through the air (with no sense of directions) and floating on the water with crocodiles in it. Yeah, that's about it, except you don't really need to hold on the handler because only the chair that you're sitting on is moving. (Try the Cylon and Human roller-coaster in USS and I tell you, that's what I called a real RIDE!)

4D Magix - A short movie with 4D effects. Lots of water spraying onto your 3D glasses. And those huge fan (use as dryer outside shopping malls when it's raining) hanging around the theater to create lots of wind which is so damn cold. I'm just wearing a short. I prefer the 4D Shrek in USS though. LOL! Anyway, it's free tickets from some Taiwanese tourists. They're in the rush for dinner so they decided not to waste it and let us watch the show for free. :) 

I think the highlights of the day is the dinner (no candlelight though) at the Starz Restaurant @ Hard Rock Hotel. HAHAHA! :)

The tables there are super long. You got to talk a bit louder across in order to hear what your partner is saying. -_-" Varieties are quite limited (a bit disappointed), and the Laksa is the only dish I thought of snapping a shot of.

In order to prove I am really at Hard Rock, 

Me and the H.U.G.E Guitar! ^_^!!!

Anyway, we didn't spend any money inside, except for the admission fee and also bought the 2 photos which we took with the Parrots! HAHAHA! -___-""

Long day, and it's back to a working week. I can't wait for the long weekend to come. I wanna get back my well deserved sleep!

M.E.D.Z.S!

:) My next favorite hangout place: Medzs, Simply Mediterranean. This new food and beverage outlet is part of the Food Junction Group, located at Orchard Central’s basement 2.

They serve Spanish, Moroccan, French, Turkish and Greek cuisine, in a open dinning concept. I was first introduced by my secondary school friends, and was pleased with the services and food. Best of all, they served all day 1-for-1 beers! ^_^!! It's not just local beers, but beers all around the world. ^_^!!!

Fruit beer, cider beer, and normal beer (as defined tastes like Heineken). That's the South Africa, Savannah Cider. There's the Dry and Light Savannah Cider (5% and 3% alcohol respectively). Very light beer, tastes just like apple juice. ^_^!!!

 :) More beer to come along! USA beer and Belgium beer!!! HAHAHA! Look carefully, they have some really interesting names for their beer! /giggles!  

:))) Besides beer, desserts is another must (who doesn't drink beer and eat something sweet at the same time?).

Some of their desserts are self service. Just take whatever you like! :) They served different desserts daily, so you won't be bored by their varieties. ^_^!!! The puffy waffles (with ice-cream) is delicious! ^_^!!!

Medzs is a cashless dinning place. You'll be given a card to use whenever you order your food and all charges will be credited into the card. At the end of the meal, you can just use the card and make payment at the exit. Easy and convenient! :)

:) Our little gathering, to celebrate National Day and also to have a beer! 

Hurry go down and try out! :) They're currently having a promotion with DBS/POSB Credit/Debit card. 25% dicount! No service charges too! *winks!*
