Wheee.. end of May!

Argh... such fine start of June
it must be psychological, but june
gives that empthatic feel that makes me feel so console
someone/something notices just how hard May is 
Thank God it went by.. 

This morning i text some of the people i so cherish, 
sending well-wishes & offering some luck for the good ol'june
PaperStop in particular, offer no condolesence as she advise how
she detest the month of june, only to look forward to July 
The irony... we women refuse to grow old , 
but we cant wait to finish a year either!

The past weekends has been fun-filled
thou i cannot put into words the elements that had made it so fufilling
i spend the entire week within inches from the boyfriend, 
who have notice how i am such a major huge fan of his fanclub.. (
i am the only member too)
We spend friday playing tennis with his workmates
whom i have now seen as friends that are real fun to hang out with
Tennis wasnt as successful as the other times, 
and my back-hand... man that needs some serious tuition
The atmosphere at The Swimming Club was really cosy, 
So much so we are hoping someday in the near future
we can join membership with a club equally fun, 
just chilling the weekend away playing sports, eating delicacy & utlizing the facilities available
The kids are equally amazing, 
there were at least 3 failed attempts to keep the balls within the court, 
and each embarressing moments sees a kiddo running up to the court, with a ball in hand and smiling through their empty teeth brackets, 
with the heartwarming "here's the ball you've threw out"
At one point a kid, with his crowd of "hide-n-seek" friends cheering him on
ran into the court while we were playing, 
gets on his feet & uses a tee he was holding to grab a frog that was leaping around... 
man.. i was terrified of frog, but i am attracted to watching him catch the frog too... 
childhood... i bet they had their best. 


We spent the friday night at my place, grabbing supper,
feeling guilty over eating supper then falling asleep immediately
how not to get fat?!
The next morning we left my place early to town
cos bbbb was dying to catch a movie and so he book F&F6 the night before, 
for an unearthly 1pm (unearthly cos it was saturday!) in The Cathay
really amazed by his planning thou, 
we aint the couple you see spending $$ in town on a regular weekend, 
most time we are too petrified by the crowd
and too embarress by the past-fashion pieces we were wearing, 
did you even see those trendsetters dress in Scape? 
man.. those kids, where do their money came from?

Weekend in town is rather refreshing for a change, 
we had a little argument during mid day, 
resulting in our overlook of carpark timing, 
by 6.01pm bbbbb suddenly muttered "shit", took out his iphone
saw the timing, and said "let's grab dinner in town"
haha.... owning a car in Singapore is difficult,
imagine trying to leave by 6.01pm, only to realize any timing passed 6pm is consider "per-entry" charges
so in short, we spend saturday evening walking from Doby Ghaut over to Bugis street to grab some amaze-balls Thai food at Purvis Street
Then doing some random shopping at Bugis Junction, 
before grabbing some Rocher Beancurd 
then walking back to Doby Ghaut to head home. 
All that in a day, with the big-shot car just sitting nicely in the carpark, 
and that seat cost us $8.12, more than regular cinema ticket. 
... car have a better live indeed. 

Then come Sunday, we were awake bright & early to head over to Luminous Dental for my monthly review. 
This time bbbb had fix an appt to get his basic polishing & check done. 
My time with the orthodontist was shockingly short, 
i took about 1 minute running out of the room to seek bbb's advice on the band colours... 
then running back in & almost running into Dr. Kevin (who turn his back to realize i was missing from the dentist chair.. haha)
2 minuties & his amazing skillful job later.... i present my new color band.. 

i do really like this set better than the previous one... 
bbbb prefer this better, it makes me look happy most time
we had both agree to do a red/orange the next time round... 
perks of looking like ugly betty. 


Did i also mention in my attempt to resemble Ugly Betty i have also set on getting my full-perm done finally
here's my inspiration
i love love love Linna Li's hairstyle and haven't stop adoring them since finding her instagram. 
i wish my perm would turn out half as good as hers
and that would also meaning the current hair reconstruction will have to be doubled up (i am already on :-
- hair mask once a week, 
- hair condition everyday, 
- hair leave-in condition every morning
- hair serum after blow dry every morning
- hair oil after serum every morning
- hair night leave in condition
and can now foresee myself doing more than this lot after the perm... 

Sunday afternoon was spent running errand with bbbb's family
helping his sister prep for her wedding of the year.... 
everything's almost set and her planning are coming into place nicely. 
this is a properous year for bbbb's family as they prepare for 2 weddings now & next year.... 
they are likely to be busy at least till the next wedding is over. 
Once we were done helping out... i drag bbbb out to the multi storey carpark *(against his strong whining).. 
and we spent a good hour washing & scrubbing his car.. 
very satisfied with the result... now all's left is to spark his interest in car wash.. hahahaha.... 
we were dead beat by the time it was done, 

 i really really really like resting on his chest listening to his heartbeat... i dont remember much of our afternoon nap but bbbb told me i refuse to let go of his hand, even when he wanted to get up for a quick relief.. In bbbb's word, when he return from his pee trip, "your hand was searching through the empty bed for my hands and i stood there watching adorable you look" ...  

Looks like my sub-conscious has found her other half too :) mad happy... !!

Apologies that my weekend hasnt sound like the best you've heard... i had so much things to recall & recollect as i rest on my bed after heading home yesterday. The week ahead looks promising even before it begun last night.... 
It's going to sound boring by now but i am going on a road trip 
to malacca (again!) with bbbb but this time, 
i have my entourage of The Chngies (my brother, sister, mum & dad) with me.... 
it's bbbb attempt to introduce the land he always visit to my family and i cannot wait for it to come soon!!!!

Here's to 5 more days of weekday before the weekend i look forward!!! Cheers!~!

Bak Chor Mee Pok

Phyllis a.k.a Mee Pok finally had time off her busy flight schedule to meet me for brunch one sunday, 
we've been talking about planning all the time, 
it's hard to date an Air-Stewardess

We've decided on brunch since i'll usually put up at bbbbb's place over weekend 
so it's more-or-less like a weekend-for-the-boyfriend thing,
 but bbb knew how much the date meant to me especially
 having not meet Mee Pok for so long so he excuse himself & 
went off to badminton with the Laos!   

Brunch was arranged at The Canopy,
 a new place i've been dying to check out after having read about it on numerous blogs. 

I arrived there really early after googling for the journey, 
it's a easy bus ride from AMK and to locate the place simply get off at the bus stop that oversees
a open space of carpark by the Park, 
The Canopy is a stone throw from the carpark. 
i love cafe with a unique getup, a pet friendly cafe is a bonus too! 
We chatted the whole of the morning away, 
dining on prawn salad (real fresh, remember to grab this if you see it on the menu) and egg benedict
Got too engross in the conversation that i didnt capture anything. 


Then i suggest we walk the filled tummy away over to snap some pictures together, 
the sun was beaming hot but the idea of brunch in a theme cafe totally makes up for it, 
we settled at a sheltered granite bench where it was much much cooler

Mee pok, giggling away cos i had practically climb onto the granite bench and stood above her
aiming the camera straight down at her face.
Thank you for being the same old you 
like you said you will when you first started flying
You promise to be genuine and i dare say you are as 
humble as you always am since day one :)

Thank you for being the gutsy one among us both and taking
up the challenges throw in your way
listening to what i would do had i face the same situation.
i've said this before and i will say it again 
You help me live my dream, thank you and love you Mee-pok!!~

We kinda got hooked on playing with the different effect on my camera
and started a series of shots that i now laugh-out-loud 
whenever i look back through each pictures, 
really, its hard to find another girl who dares to embarress 
herself when she is out with you because she knows you are doing everything to make her laugh
I have alot of friends who receive the laughing juice (not that i am complaining, i had alot of jokes really) 
but finds it hard to do the same to make me laugh
dunno how we got started on this but i was literally begging to play the calefare... so i did... (spot me!)


( you MUST spot me... i am the striking calefare doing the "walking")

and then it was Mee-pok's turn
This time i had to play the lead while she plays the calefare, 
so knowing how i might lose the attention because she is way hotter
i've decided to play the kawaii japanese tourist who twist with her crooked fingers... 


.... and... i bet you still notice my calefare (without her face EVEN!!!!) first...  #MajorFailedLeadActress

Having meddle with my camera, pushing all the buttons
and selecting all the options i dont really understand, 
we soon learn my powerful digital cam comes with mode that changes the environment as we'll set them.... so we played with them
-Sunset mode-

-sunrise mode-

-gloomy sky-

As i walk back to the self-timed camera i accidentally press the self timer once again, 
not wanting to waste this chance to snap a caught-off-guard pic of Mee Pok i quickly bring myself 
to a pose so unglam, it made the toes in my socks struggle to wiggle
Major fail on my part really i kid you not, 
i am never gonna admit that was Kristal (of Bak-chor as i am affectionately called by Mee Pok)

The worst was that Mee POk wasnt even caught off guard lah, 
this girl camera-ready one!
and check out those hair! Act yi-ge swipe to one side shampoo commercial only..... 

And then came the part where i had the best idea of doing a jump shot,
but we gave up after one attempt because the picture was BEYOND practice-makes-perfect.. see for yourself
Seriously Mee Pok, we are really getting on our age.. why!??!?!?



oh in case you like to know, Mee-pok's romper's from LoveBonito, i absolutely adore the cutting on her
here's her OOTD shot, 
i didnt post mine because it was badly represented (next time u'll see my burberry polo in a differnet light!)

Which 2 girls cannot enjoy some polaroid moments together? Mee POk & i surely did, 
thankful that she was super generous with her instax... we finish a box that morning

We'll also capture alot of pictures on our mobile phone, imagine the image overloaded on camera/phone/polaroids, 
the guys will pay to shun waiting for us if we ever get started on phototaking
dont you just love the lighting of my camera, 
man those background are portrait-worth

Summing up on our rare meetups, the little camera there is a split camera by the way, 
my favorite toy from Cuzzie Ray&Viv for my birthday years back
really precious instax all proud displayed on my office desk now, i love the colours of them all. 


We later part ways so i could head back to bbb while Mee-pok went on to visit some cute babies. 

I miss our meetup now, we are already arranging for our next, 
cant wait :)

The sunken feeling

Been feeling rather out of sort today, 
mainly stuck with toying the idea of playing the business out of the box. 
I've been knocking my skull so hard trying to figure out what else i can do 
to make SS work, to make it better, to make SS glow. 

It's the budget i've been trying to keep within (not the cost price of the stocks dont worry)
All that extra budget needed to advertise is like a stone throw right into face (more like my pocket)
Sigh, perhaps i should explore finding more ways to fund this dream i am building. 
Gotta keep working, saving & pulling the strings tighter on other stuff. 

and then there is the problem of the medication i am feeding, 
the unneccessary weight gain that ive been keeping to myself 

i am really thankful about the consolation everyone's been giving, 
and i am not sure if it's really the medication that has attribute to the weight gain. 
BUT i'm pretty sure i've been exercizing more than i can ever do (and eat way lesser than i ever did thanks to the braces)
i wouldnt want to accuse Mercilon, afterall the side effects that were rumoured to take place did not happen.
Perhaps it's really the excess food i've subconsciously fed on while sleep or sleepwalking... 

Been texting besties alot more than i did, 
glad to be keeping in constant contact thanks to the variety of communication network. 
She's a real doll to hang out with, 
and her endless supportive cheer-me-on keeps me going strong. 
So thankful to have the friendship going strong for the past 13 years, 
i must have been lucky to have been rewarded with so much goodness this life :)

And there is the man who is ever ready to hear me talk
i could go on for days on the same old topic that he never understood (think shopping, woman obsession with shoes, politics at work) and he will nod in agreement, understanding. 
Though he will never be good with words to cheer me on
This man is a gem, because he thinks and sees what i am trying to say, but he cannot translate his response to them in a way we can both understood. 
But he never stood me down, he could jump his thoughts straight to the summary "as long as you dont regret what you are doing"
and that was all i really need to hear, someone to stand by me when i feel like i was ready to jump off the cliff, 
this man, this gem, is mine:)

I know my mish-mash of thoughts is getting harder and harder to put into place,
i'll never stop for a second to take a breather, 
the brain just works all day long. 
I want achievement, i crave for it so badly. 
and right now i have all the backing i need, 
that is all that i will need to keep me going on. 
all i can say is, with bbb's acknowledgement, 
my family's silence support, 
my best friend's constantly checking out on my progress
my cousin's supportive backing
i have nothing to fear, absolutely nothing. 


well... except for cash, i need cash support, so i am exceptionally glad to be working & working in an environment i can accept, 
where the colleagues are especially nice, 
and their partners are equally cool. 

i'm tempting to leave the buzzing city for a while, 
and i cannot wait for the long vacation in October 
bbbb and i will head back to the very place that tested our
endurance for a lasting relationship
we will explore new places in the old town we use to stay together
i am praying so hard that SS will see the light by October, 
because deep down i am pretty sure i cannot spend
fifteen days away from this red dot & completely leave the business alone. 
i do want to give myself a break, especially with this vacation i so craved for, please let SS work by October. 

sigh.. all that sunken feeling is back here again... i', signing off..

Today i feel like blogging, thank you for reading my aimless blog entry :)

I've always been a fans of silly, unrealistic romance novel where the male lead went through all odds to win the female lead's heart, and they live happily ever after. Whoever thought, that at age 26 i'm only a self proclaim fresh-working adult who had only bid goodbye to graduation last year?

This year has seen me passing each day barely realizing the night is falling, i have been picking up on my running regime in preparation for more line up of runs happening past mid-year. The most significant run will be that of the Race-Against-Cancer, of which i'll be taking part with the support of the next man i lookup to  apart from Dad.    i dont see myself as a survivor but i want to preach the feeling of having gone through  the torment of living in fear only to face up to it so boldy & confidently, that it no longer matter :)

Perhaps it was the luck i had with me that day, after sharing with the running team at work about my intention for the upcoming race, i have alongside me, the precious support of 4 more colleagues who will jointly race against time on 24th july to compete for the company's team race.    It all started with something so small and insignificant, and now i can look forward to the race in july to celebrate "against Cancer" and to share some bonding moments with my colleagues who are so supportive towards my "mission".

Also in the thanksgiving line (everyday is thanksgiving cos i'm cool like that) is the special support from the friendship that had stood by me for the past 13 year. Few days back we celebrated Sharon-besties' 26th birthday and i was caught dumbfolded after counting the years with my finger/toe nails and finding out we've been the best of friends for half our lives.     It's never easy trying to make a relationship last since both parties have to make the effort, so i find making a friendship last much much more difficult, as with all other more important things in lives like our life partners, our family and our goal/target/achievement. I wanna do a shoutout to my bestest friend Sharon for being amazing at 26, for being my listening ear and always assuring me it's us two against the world.    Thank you for making the world extra special by standing alongside me, for braving my health when i needed support, for putting aside more imprtant things in your life when i needed you more than anything else.  Thank you for assuring me times and again that i matter still, when i had crazy thoughts that there were someone else in our special friendship you replied & encourage me not to think that way, and that you know and feel the special bond that i felt towards you too. 

Thank you for including me in your future plans, for allowing me to reserve my slot in your business plan, family plans and life goal. I wouldnt be telling you confidently that you are my bestestest friend, if you didnt gave me that courage & permission to do so!

This period of the year really wasnt my best, i blogged about how i hated may, in 2006, 2009, skip a few years in between trying to lie low because i couldnt face them each time it happened. I still hate May, no denial, but i know better than to wish for the bad to come, i only wish for it to be subtle, and if some miracle allows, to have may the most amazing way i could have hope for.   So far it had been pretty happy, having divert my attention on things that does not concern myself/

Maybe, just maybe, the month of May is for me to care about the others? If so that i am glad to say i have been doing good :)  There are many good news in line for alot of people around me, and to protect their interest i can only send my well wishes in silence :)   you have no idea how happy i am for all of you

Sometimes, a small part of me still think about the people who should no longer matter, how is she doing? does she remember the past sweet past we use to share, i still have her to thank for the lodging i so desperately need when i was studying for my university, we love talking over booze at her room just planning our future. Some friendship are so vulnerable calling quit is easy. 

All that mish-mash of thoughts are bombarding me right now, and writing them out on this blog will be irrelevant especially if i cannot tell you in sequence how they should be sorted out.


Today i feel like blogging, thank you for reading my aimless blog entry :)
