It's all because of what?

Had a busy week at work, till I couldn't find time to go online. -_-"" Almost dropped dead by the time I reached home everyday. And finally when I can have a good night sleep, something came about and upset me. Shall spare you guys the details, but honestly, it was a rough night for me to sleep.

3 hours of sleep before I woke up late for the Great Eastern Run. No choice but to cab down again. Throughout the whole run, the mind is preoccupied with lots of stuff which I can't figure out. I admit I'm at fault but I don't deserved that kind of attitude from you. At least don't sound so sarcastic. And yes I did apologize but apology not accepted.  

You kept on saying life's contradicting, but isn't us that caused it to be contradicting? And if I had the chance to turn back time, I would definitely want to go back to the old times. At least I would be more comfortable around you.

A moody girl for the whole day, but then the run clear some of my stress. And tomorrow's another working day. 

:) Us right after the run, on the way home for some napping time. And yes this is the 1st picture in my iphone 4! ^_^!!

Definitely excited about the phone! :) And I need to learn how to take self shot with this new phone.

Hopefully tomorrow's going to be a better day. :)

I did it! *beams!*

1 month ago, I asked myself whether I'm ready for the final stage. My answer: No, I'm not. But everyone asked me to just book a date first. And so, I booked the date and from then on, I spent more and more time at BBDC, clearing all my prerequisites. 

In the meantime, more practices await for me :)))*Vooom!!!*

1 month later......

^_^!!! *Wheee!* *Jumping around!* /giggles!

I got my driving license!!! On my first try! Hehehe! I'm quite proud of myself because I wasn't that confident about the test at all. Believe me, even though I had revision classes (more than enough, till the driving instructors say I'm crazy! =.=||), I would make some silly mistakes every lesson.-_-""

For the passed week, I get very nervous out of the blue about the test. But I didn't dare to tell anyone because no one (except my instructor, and it's all my own fault =.=||) knows when my TP is. Yesterday night right before I sleep, he knows I'm quite scared so he called and remind me where are my silly mistakes and inform me where are all the blind traps to look out for. 

And because he promised not to tell anyone about my TP, so he has to be discrete about posting anything on FB. HAHAHA! :))) And I have to be careful too. HAHAHA! :)))

All thanks to him for his guidance throughout these 3 months! And of course his bet with me. =.=|| The bet that put some pressure on me. If I were to fail my TP, he will resign straight away. o.O!!! What a way to scare the student.

My tester isn't that scary as what I thought. While waiting for the results, I was quite scared because I saw him tap something on his PDA while I was on the road. *Bleah!* But the moment he said "Congrats on becoming a driver", I gave him my mega-watt smile! HAHAHAHA! I even burst out laughing. -_-"" Who wouldn't be happy right? HAHAHA! The last sentence he gave me just make me fly into the air.

"I enjoyed sitting in your car. You know what you're doing. Good job!" ^_^!!!

Although I only spent 3 months at BBDC, I was feeling 舍不得 when I left. This place brought me lots of sweet memories (some scary ones) and I made some good friends! HAHAHA! :))) /giggles! The money I spent to learn driving is all worth it. *YAY!*

PS: Should I go try bike? hehehe! I wanna have a pink scooter! HOHO!

N.E.R.V.O.U.S!

One word to describe what I'm feeling now. NERVOUS! Damn, I thought I wouldn't be but I'm wrong. It's even worse than going for my first blood donation. I need some support on that day. Seriously!!!

Counting down to the day.

S-day! Shock! Stunned! Sad!

It's past mid-night and I have trouble sleeping (maybe it's the toast I had just eaten or because I'm getting more and more nervous!). Guess I'll be a grumpy Sarah tomorrow again. *Bleah!*

Recently, something been troubling me. Something I have yet to find the answer. Sometimes, a little help might help, but then on the other hand, if there's help, I wouldn't be so troubled. :'(

The BIG question is: What have I done wrong? :( No answer to it.

Maybe someday I'll have more than just a "Ok" for an answer.

PS: One-word answer sux! I hate it! But that's you, and I can't change anything about it. :(((

Anyway, dad gave me a scared during lunch time. He told me he's in NUH waiting for the check up. o.O!!! Who will go to a hospital to check up out of the blue. So I thought he fainted somewhere. *SCARY!* He told me what happened, and yet I couldn't go down to see him.

:'( Damn sad, but lucky kor kor went down to see everything's alrighty.

I'll promise to watch over my dad's diet from now on and be a good girl. No more 小姐脾气! :)

A bet that I intend to WIN!

Last night driving lesson was quite out-of-the-box (maybe till the last part). And I made my first bet with the instructor. ^_^!!!!

I got this really "dao" instructor that I never seen before. When he was walking over, I tell myself, surely I'm not so lucky to get a young instructor. I mean for the last few sessions, I always got the same 2 super-fatherly instructor that tells me lots of stories on their job. HAHAHA! I'm not complaining, just that I need some other chit-chat topics.

And I'm damn lucky, because he walked over and say "149?" Who else but me (since I'm standing beside the car). =.=||| Anyway, I got the key from him and I went over to put my bag in the passenger seat. But, I couldn't open the door, and we looked at each other (standing opposite each other). *weird!* And I realized that he's waiting for me to unlock the door. >.<"" My fault since I have the keys with me. HAHAHA! Super 不好意思, but what to expect since the door is always unlock for me beforehand. ^_^!!!

The first part of the lesson was super quiet. The only sound in the car is my stomach growling, his SIMPLE instructions (Turn left at 12, right turn at 28, Parallel parking in front, etc) and my 1 word answer "Alright". I was quite moody, mainly tired from the long hours at work and now this instructor can't even cheer me up a bit.

After the 1st round of mock test, we went back into the circuit and I can't take the quietness anymore, so I told him:

Me: We didn't do the vertical parking just now. So it's not a complete test. 

Him: Ohh, is it? Never mind, we can do a double vertical parking now. There's double fillet-o-fish burger, we can have double vertical parking. 

Me: =.=||| (Didn't expect this lameness from him)

2nd round of mock test over, and it was still early before the lesson is over, so we went on with parallel parking. :))) I managed to park the car within 30 seconds. HOHO! I was quite 暗爽 because the car is nicely in the slot and was smiling to myself. ^_^!!! My legs are tired so I parked the car and rested for a while. Just when I was about to turn out, he said:

Him: How can we do some corrections?

Me: (Looking around and see what mistakes I had done) What mistakes have I made? Why need to make corrections? 

Him: You didn't make a single mistake for your courses. So how to show you what are the corrections in case you need it during your TP? 

Me: Ohh, so this is considered a praise? HAHAHAHA!

Him: Not really, I'm just bored that I can't talk much for the whole lesson.

Me: =.=||||||| (Totally stunned by him again, so I decided to make a MAJOR mistake and let him talk)

*Hit the kerb!* 

Me: Ohh no! I did something wrong, and it's immediately 10 points gone!

Him: Wah liao, it's so obvious you purposely turn out without reversing first. Don't try to bluff me.

Me: HAHAHAHAHAHA! 

And guess what, he was smiling away! HOHO! :))) We made a bet while waiting for time to pass driving around the circuit. If I get 0 demerit points for my TP, he will have to pay for my 3 meals everyday for the next 1 month. 

HAHAHA! Quite a nice deal, but a bit hard for me though. But who cares, I intend to win this bet. ^_^!!!!

Careless me *_*

:) Had a good laugh right after work.

I was complaining to my "private" instructor that during my previous lesson, the PDA in the car showed my TP date and thus the instructor (who was in the car at that time) knew when I'm having my test. I remember quite vividly that the date doesn't appear on the screen till I went to update my PDL into the school system. -_-""

And while complaining this and that, I "accidentally" say out the date again. *Bleah!* And I didn't even notice until he says (with a cheeky smile) "So you're having your test on ******." 

o.O!!!! OMG! I went frozen (and I meant it, I literally stopped breathing!) and go @#!$!%^&!*!!!! HAHAHA! Of course, I didn't say all those words, just keep on "OMG!", "URGH!", "SHIT!". HAHAHA! And all the while, he just keep on laughing. Kind of evil, but I was laughing at myself too. ^_^!!!

I got my stylus back! Hehehe! So happy now that the stick is hanging back on the phone! HOHO! Thanks to "private" instructor and the person that picked it up and bring it to the counter. ^_^!!!!

Time to catch some sleep! :))) Off to bed, and my mickey mouse! *Nighty night!*

Bleah, pms for guys? NO WAY!

No offense, but sometimes I feel that guys also have mood swings, aka PMS. *Bleah!* I thought PMS is only meant for girls, and only girls?!! -.-""

Doesn't matter, cause it makes me moody too. I need to find some way to relieve some of the workload inside me and have some peaceful sleep. Mr Lin says I keep on mumbling "Thickness OOC, temp tuned, OCAPs signed" when I'm sleeping. o.O!!!!

Urgh! I need to do something dangerous! And risky?

Short getaway! (Part 2)

:) :) :) I'm back with Part 2 of my short getaway! HAHAHA! It's always fun to be away for a day or two just to relax and have tons of fun, but when you're back in Singapore, you got to spend time updating the blog which can be a hassle! ^_^!!! 

On our way to the Batam! :)) Bad hair day though, super messy in the morning! -_-""

I shall start with the room which we're allocated to on the 3rd floor with a view of the sea! Splendid! ^_^!!! HAHAHA! But it can gets really hot in the afternoon because there's the 夕照 but it's good to dry our wet clothes from the water activities! :))

Twin bed room, with the essential toiletries and a view of the beach from our room! :) Ohh, not to forget the 贵妃 chair which is super comfortable! But not recommend to sleep on it for long hours! =.=|| My tor tor enjoying the air-con in the room after a long day out! ^_^!!!

Right after lunch was some sun-tanning at the swimming pool! HAHAHA! It's super hot and I barely can take the heat so we decided to go to the beach and see whether there's any nice water activities! HAHAHA! I had another first time! Banana BOAT! ^_^_^_^!

All ready for the banana boat! ^_^!!! Super excited! Till I asked the captain whether there's sharks in the sea (in case we capsized!) and he hesitated before answering me "it's safe here". In a way, he didn't really tell me whether there are sharks, so I decided to take the last 2nd seat on the boat because from the movies, the last person is always eaten up by the sharks. =.=||

We're still quite dry from the ride, but in a while......HAHAHA! All inside the water! I drank quite some seawater when I landed. :)) But the feeling of getting tossed in the air for that split second is really SHIOKNESS! :))))

Heex! Quite a candid shot! The water is really blocking all my sight and I can barely go the boat. LOL! 

Seafood Dinner along the roadside @ Nagoya, was told the shopping mall there is the biggest in Batam. And it looks really big because we didn't manage to finish all the shopping! ^_^!!! We went to have a look at their supermarket and all their prices is so high! LOL! 

Their refrigerator can cost up till 2 million! HAHAHA! Imagine going there to buy a fridge you need a bodyguard to protect you! HAHAHA :))) And their french fries is packed as much as you like. HAHAHA! It's Mr Lin's favorite that I can't helped but to snap a shot of him! Lots of varieties of food (similar to our hypermarket in Singapore) and things are cheaper as compared here. 

A Magnum Almond ice-cream to end the night! Delicious! ^_^!!! 

Alrighty, shall continue the updates for the last day @ Batam tonight! Off for the family portrait shoot! EXCITED! :))))

Just trying out the different effects in my Omnia 2 :)) HAHAHA! Have a great weekend ahead! :)))

Photoshop works wonders! :)))

:))) I'm totally amazed by the great job done by the photographer (CT and his lovely wife!) for Miss Wu's wedding @ Seletar Country Club! HAHAHA! The effects are great and they have this dreaming feeling to it. PREFECT! :)))

Hehehe! How I wished I really have such white skin! :))) Ohh maybe it's because I'm standing besides the "black" guy! HOHO! I ♥ this shot lots!~

A candid shot? Hehehe! Was preparing to gather all the guests for the "opening champagne" ceremony. *YAY!*

Anyway, it was a great experience to be the emcee for a joyous occasion. You will definitely immersed in the happy and fun-filled atmosphere. I was quite nervous, but still I managed to say what I wanna say (maybe in different sequence). Hehehehe! I welcome any one of you to hire me as your emcee! *Wheee!* (Don't worry I don't charge high ^_^!!!)  

A personal shot! :)) The greenery is making everyone happy and lucky it was a super hot day. Quite breezy actually. But I came prepared, hair all up in case the weather gets too HOT! ^_^!!!

How I wished I have good photoshop skills too! ^_^!!!

A great monday to start off a great week! :))))

:))) What a day! My first visit to the Bird Park! Yes yes yes, I know I live in Jurong for 23 years and you must be wondering why I haven't visit the park since it's so near. HAHAHA! Reason being I wasn't interested in looking at birds. Especially they can fly which makes me super nervous.

Super convenient! Just take 194 from Boon Lay Bus Interchange to reach right outside the Bird Park! :)))

Imagine walking halfway and suddenly you got "bombed!" *URGH!!! HAHAHAHA! But I was lucky today since I didn't get bombed! :)) Had lots of fun feeding the Lory and the Pelicans. But these birds can be quite noisy when they have a big group coming to you and only one cup of food for them. -_-""

The hungry Lory birds feeding on the cup of honey and a bunch of Pelicans suntanning in the sunny afternoon! ^_^!!!

Anyway the day ended with private driving lesson! :))) *YAY!* I drove myself home all the way from Bugis (of course, I skipped all the expressway roads! HAHAHA!) Appreciate a lot for letting me drive your car home! :)) Ohh, and it's a PINK car! HAHAHAHA! Who wouldn't ♥ it? ^_^!!!

P.S: Detective Dee is quite a nice show! Go try!~

Short getaway! (Part 1)

:))) Just loves all the short getaways! Away from work, from reality and just concentrate on getting drunk with all the fun and food! Of course, the MOST important of all, the company! 

I decided to celebrate my Children's Day this year overseas! (I haven't celebrate for so many years! -_-"") Destination is Batam! :))) Heex! And happen that there's a promotion for Passion Card members. It only cost us 50SGD per room per night at the Batam Beach View Resort. The rate is inclusive of a breakfast, to and fro transportation from the ferry terminal to the resort. ^_^!!! *CHEAP!* Of course, we had to get our own ferry tickets from Tenah Merah Ferry Terminal (TMFT) to Nongsapura Terminal @ Batam. A 2-way ticket cost us 46SGD. :)) So, in total per person is around 71SGD.

The room I was allocated at the resort. :))) 355! HOHO! :))

I have never been to TMFT and honestly, the place is super wu-lu! Lucky, there's a bus in, and while on the way there, I realized that I actually cycle past the place before! LOL!

I was early and while waiting for my colleagues, I decided to snap some photos. So I went searching for my camera in my super big bag (even though it's only 2D1N trip! But I'm a girl! HAHA!). I found my camera but it doesn't work at all. And guess what?! There isn't any battery inside! o.O!!! I brought an empty camera with charger but no battery! -_-""" Who can be more blur than me?

Anyway, no choice but to use my Omnia 2 camera! Hehehe! :))) While waiting for my ferry to come, Mr Lin snapped a shot of me! :))) A self-shot to start the ball rolling! HAHAHA! :)))

I always think that Singapore provides good services and directional signs for tourists. HAHAHA! Look at those big words, who can miss it? :))) And our tickets are booked through New Century Tours. I was extremely excited because it has been a super long time since I took a ferry! And I ♥ ferry ride! The 遥遥遥 feeling never fails to calm me down and make me sleepy! ^_^!!

Arrival at Nongsapura Terminal and I'm a happy girl! But Mr. Sunshine is super big today, barely able to open the eyes if you're not wearing a sunglasses. My first shot upon arrival (and I haven't check out yet o.O!!)

For passport holders listed in the list, they are required to do their visa on arrival. It's a simple application process with a 25USD application fee. I was told that the visa will last for a month. That's quite short considering that it's not that cheap to make the visa. =.=||

Right at the ferry terminal, we didn't have to check out the custom because there are people from the resort helping us clear the terminal. HAHAHA! So it's like we just walked out without stamping our passport. LOL! There's a resort bus waiting outside for us and by the time we reached the resort, it was packed! o.O!!!

.......

Shall stopped here for part 1 :)) Heex! Going to prepare for another of my 第一次s! Bird Park, HERE I COME! :))) HOHO!~~
