Praying Hard

I'm praying hard for something to materialise.
Its a major step, and I just hope this time, it will be successful.
Pls let me have it my way this time.
If the deal works out, I believe this can be considered a new chapter.

The Interlace

This is an iconic development near Alexandra called The Interlace. I really like the design, and the whole concept of it. Based on the artist impression, the whole place is surrounded by greenery and where it is located, it should be a pretty tranquil. The size of each apartment is also generally bigger than the other condo units too. But whilst I mention about the supposedly tranquility, this entire development has over 1700 units, so its like a village on its own. So not sure how serene it would be really once developed and people start to move in.

No, I can't afford. I'm just intrigued by the design. Something different from the run of the mill condos that pepper our island.

Udders

Just tried Udders over the weekend. I think I went a little too crazy with their alcoholic flavors.

It tasted alright when I sampled but it was a totally different experience when I had 2 scoops of the Orange Choc Bitters & Tira-miss-u.

The ice cream was so not enjoyable after a few scoops. It tasted too bitter, too alcoholic without the sweetness that should accompany ice cream. Anyway, I had to struggle with finishing the ice-cream. Actually, this is the very first time in my life when I didn't enjoy my ice cream.

I shall stick to the usual flavours in future :P

Rich & Good Cake Shop

My sis bought me a box of this cake when we met up for lunch ytd. I was soooo excited coz I've read about their swiss roll from many a food blog since way back. She got me a box of kaya swiss roll. Ok actually she didn't get me. Her temp staff came to office with BOXES of this cake to give away to the colleagues and so my sis bought a box over from him to give to me.

YAY!!!

I have to say the cake is really nice! It has to be kept refrigerated. The texture is really soft and not too sweet. Simply heaven.

But the shop seemed pretty out of the way .... between Muscat & Kandahar Street

Yummy!

Swim!

A very good swim this mrn. Pool was quite empty, and swimming under the early sunlight does make me feel good.

To many more good swims!

Training ?

Some guy asked me this mrn whether I'm training for a marathon. Huh ? He said he sees me every day at the gym swimming etc. Errrr ... the only thing I'm 'training' for is to burn off the FATS ...

marathon cannot be further from my mind :P

I can hardly run 4km now I think ...

My Latest Fantasy cum Wish List

Am I the only one who is so restless like 99% of the time ?

Lunching in today ... so daydreaming a little before I start the 2nd half of the day ....
Its these things that keep me going really .... (what else?)

1. Piaget Possession













2. Rolex Datejust pearlmaster







Yes, this is definitely a fantasy because no way will I be able to afford this! Or at least to fork out good hard earn money for these. These are way out of my league. But doesn't mean I can't drool over them. Just like how I drool over a Porsche or a BMW 6 series. Haha!

3 more

Its only Tues, and I'm counting down to Fri ...

Tired

Lunch @ Saizeriya

Was looking fwd to this get-together as I haven't seen the gang for over 7 months. Think the last time we met was in 2009!!!

I've been MIA for way too long!

We met up over lunch and surprisingly the place was quiet and not at all crowded. Happy to see the familiar faces. Everyone looked just like before but Tz lost quite a fair bit of weight due to his 3 weeks of indigestion. A diet of bread and porridge sure helped one lose weight! Am i going to try it ? errr ... nope! I'm happy being fat !

I was so shocked to see A coz she also lost a lot of weight and she looked even more fabulous than before! Good for her! She definitely looked happier and more confident! *thumbs up*

The 2 happy couples still looked very loving together (good!) and Bitch & I still got loads to bitch about together hehe.

It was a very good catch up. We loaded on food (pizza, focacia bread, spaghetti, soup, drumlets) and free flow of drinks (can't imagine the cups of mocha, milo, juices) that we downed!

Our conversations were also free flowing and wide ranging, from races, events, world cup predictions by Paul & Mani, air tix and budget airlines to local news like the recent tragic case of the widow, flood, property prices etc. From C I got to know that there are organised tours to the local cemetries for desperate folks to seek lucky numbers for gambling! Really ?!?!?!?!

Very happy to catch up with this fun gang of people. Thanks so much to T for organising and THANKS everyone who turned up to celebrate A & my birthday in advance!

:)

Yay!

Corrinne May singing at this year's NDP!
Wow!! :)

Spam!!!

Some of u might have received spam from my hotmail acct. In fact, I think ALL in my address book would have received.

SHIT. Problem is I dunno how to resolve it. And .... it was likely sent out from my IPHONE!

Monday Bluezzz

Thank God Monday is almost over!

Been a rather productive day.

Ran a short 2.4km on the treadmill. Did an RPM class followed by a short 25 mins swim.

The swim was tough today. Somehow the arms felt like lead and hurt with every stroke.

Work was surprisingly busy in the afternoon with discussions over IM with three separate colleagues. Two on design discussions, while the other on documentations follow-up and audit. Not to mention my own work. I was typing away furiously on my keyboard. But it was a good afternoon and I felt good that things are progressing. *thumbs up*

Not looking forward to tomorrow though. Mtg at 1pm (darn that organiser !). Interviewing a candidate with boss at 6:30pm. I don't even find this candidate suitable! Sigh, don't understand my boss. Waste time.

Heard another tragic news just. So sad. May she rest in peace. Finally.

Waste time

Why waste more time if situation is NOT gg to improve?! Kid urself not. The frustration just manifests.

THIS is just a downhill slide. The descent is surprisingly fast n steep
