Home

Tomorrow is holiday!  I am so happy. 

My mum called me this evening and asked if I want to go back home and stay till Wed.  My plan is to do washing of toilets, bedsheets and clean the house tomorrow.  However, I decided to stay one night.

In fact, tonight we can watch a movie since tomorrow not working.  Too late to book and all show times were full.  Shall wait till this Friday lah.

Glad to be back in Pasir Ris.  Did not bring my ipad hence borrowing my sis laptop tonight.  :)

Prepare for the trip

I took out my two luggage and tried to sort out things that I need to bring for my coming trip to Europe.  Most of my clothing needs washing as they were kept in the luggage and quite smelly.  Going to bring home and wash them tonight.  At least have sufficient time to dry them.

Nothing to do much at home.  Tried to watch PPS but in the end did not do so.  Kind of tired hence just want to be lazy and sit down doing nothing.  My niece did not come today as my brother-in-law needed to complete his painting of the house.

My mum cooked a lot tonight and I ate a lot.  So sinful lei.  Due to need to bring home 2 luggage, my dad sent me home together with my brother.  Next time, I will go home on my own by taking bus.  Don't really like my dad driving at night.  He almost dash red lights and I shouted to him to stop.  He was following another car and did not realise it is already red lights.  So dangerous.

Reached home and started to unpack my winter clothing that need to wash.  Also mopped the floor (dry and wet) as I did not do so yesterday.  Better do it tonight else it will be so dusty.

Will watch at least one epi of J-drama tonight.  Tomorrow going to work and glad that Tuesday is holiday.  My plan is to wash bedsheets and see if still have time to go to Pasir Ris house.  Otherwise, shall stay at home to watch PPS lor.  :)

Back to Pasir Ris

This morning, I woke up rather early at 8.30am.  Completed my clothes washing and tried to cook a bowl of instant noodle for breakfast before leaving house for my haircut appointment at 11.30am.

I took almost 30mins to cook the noodles as I was figuring out how to use the cooker.  That made me very late and I quickly settled the hanging of clothes, packing of my stuff, washing and left house.  I was worried that I will be late.  Luckily, I managed to get there just in time.

After the haircut, I went to Chinatown to meet up with my sis and mum.  We went for the tour briefing at 2pm.  The briefing did not take too long and we head to Far East plaza as my sister found a good deal for samsung tab.  However, did not manage to get it as the last piece was sold out.  Need to reserve lah.

I tried to find the hard case cover for my ipad but the prices were too steep so I decided to find it in GMarket first.  Went to Takashimaya.  Just had a quick shopping and had our dinner.  After the dinner, went to Plaza Singapura as we need to buy mattress from Seahorse.  Otherwise, I had to sleep on the floor tonight.  This time round, we bought the cheaper one which is not too hard.  The piece I bought for my sister at my house is too hard.  Its like sleeping on cement floor....

Finally reached Pasir Ris home and is so good to be back.  With my parents there and I can talk to them.  Not like at my house, I am alone facing the laptop every night.  Home Sweet Home :)

Our dinner :

Nice movie

Today we went to Maxwell market for lunch as my colleague was there to collect cakes ordered from The Patisserie.  Ordered them last Friday and finally we managed to try it as my boss bought one and gave us a treat.  Ordered the famous fish noodle soup as the queue was not too long.  Enjoyed the lunch.

This evening, we watched movie "The Raven".  Saw the trailer and it was rather bloody.  Hence we decided to avoid those scenes by covering our eyes.  Overall, the story was good.  After all it was not too gross lah.

I was mentioning to 小珠 that I found the inspector and Emily's father were familiar.  Cannot tahan and made a search.  The inspector was the actor acting as Zeus in Immortal (which I quite like him after I watched the movie) and I guessed correctly that Emily's father was "Moody" in Harry Porter's movies.  Yippy!!! But no prize for guessing. 

Tomorrow I need to do ironing and wash clothes and bedsheets.  Cannot sleep too late.

Thursday, April 26, 2012

Had lunch today at Pasir Panjang hawker centre and I ordered the char kway tiao with lots of vegetables. Have not been eating vegetables and I suddenly felt so "healthy".



Left office a little bit earlier than yesterday and reached home at around 10.20pm. Original plan is to do some cleaning but hor... too tired liao. I have to schedule one day to wash my bedsheets uh. Aiyoh like so many things to do.

Change look

Good news!!! I managed to sleep well last night again. I am so happy.

Woke up and mopped the floor before bathing. Since I am working late quite frequently and too tired to do the sweeping and mopping at night, I have to do it in the morning. Just a simple mopping lah. Just don't want to step on sandy and sticky floor. Spoiled by my mum who sweep and mop everyday. Cannot tahan if the floor is dirty.

NOR for leaving office was 9pm but was delayed due to my boss called my colleague to prepare some data for him. Hence delayed a little bit and left office at about 9.30pm. Reached home at about 10.30pm. My sister staying overnight today after her shopping with friend. Tonight I have accompany.

Cannot get use to the new format for blogger. It is so different from the previous version. Have to slowly get use to it lor.

No time to eat ice-cream!!!

Yesterday, I managed to get to sleep after about 1 hr on the bed. Finally I could have sufficient sleep. :)

Today we were busy with the same stupid task and we wasted so much time for such thing that in the first place should not exist. Had lunch at Great World City as my colleague and I gave a treat to my another colleague whose birthday fell on last Sunday. Initially we queued at Ichiban Boshi restaurant but was told that the waiting will be at least 25mins. In the end, we decided to change to another restaurant. Walked passed a Thai restaurant and decided to try the food. It was very nice. No regrets. Next time can go there again. 

Still worked late tonight and managed to leave office a little bit later than yesterday. Reached home at 11.10pm and I am so tired now. Have no chance to go home earlier and I don't even have time to eat my ice-cream. Just ate an apple as I was too hungry just now. Hope I have another good sleep tonight.

Staying on my own journey starts

Today, staying on my own journey starts. Worked till quite late tonight and reached home at around 11pm. Too lazy to walk from NEX hence took a bus back.

Kept my clothing that I hung up this morning after machine wash. Few pieces not dry. I think I will take one of the bamboo stick down and place it between my window grilles and the table top. Believe that my clothing will dry faster since I have afternoon sun at the kitchen area.

Hope I can get use to staying alone and have sweet dreams or no dream but can sleep immediately after laying on the bed. :)

So so tired

This morning, had a rest first before the big event. Painting!!!

Started at 12noon and we had to dismantle our old wardrobe first. It took some time to do so and I carried the heavy wood planks down to the rubbish chute with my brother. It was so hot and heavy. I was sweating like waterfall.

Next was to stick newspaper on the window grilles to prevent paint dropping on it. Then my father started to paint. I was helping the trimming of those corners with a small brush. Passed to my younger sister when she came home.

The painting was completed at 6pm and I accidentally broke one piece of mirror. Out of 3 now left 2. The broken glass spilled all over. Ai yoh... Made us more busy uh.

Tonight, my sister accompanied me home. I will start to stay on myself from today onwards. Now my only concern is to find a way to prevent 小强 in my house. Saw a few small died ones (really mini ones) yesterday when I came to the house after 1 week.

Saw another bigger than the mini size one just now in the toilet. Siao liao lah. Hope that will be the last one...

All the best to me in my new house :)

Saturday, April 21, 2012

Another busy Saturday

This morning, we started to pack our stuff into the new wardrobe. Yesterday, it was installed and my sister started the packing last night. It was too late for me hence I did not do anything.

In fact, I did not have much things as most of my clothing will be moved to my new house this evening. The packing was quite fast and we need to emptied the old wardrobe as tomorrow we are going to paint the room.

My dad came back very early today and he helped to send my clothing and other stuff to my house. Now, majority of my things were moved over. Not much left behind as no place for me to keep any more. The wardrobe was already filled with all my sister's stuff and clothing. Poor me... I cannot stay in the house liao. :(

After moving the things, we went to Katong 112 for early dinner. We settled at TGIF restaurant and ordered few dishes for sharing. Ai yoh... for the pasta, it was too cheesy for me until I almost wanted to phew out on my first mouth. Told my sister that I need Tabasco sauce to cover the smell. Surprisingly, my mum said she was ok with it. We still worried she could not take the cheesiness. Or maybe the spoonful I took was the most most cheesy???








And end the day with a dessert plus drink at O'Coffee Club.

Very the busy


This morning, went to office earlier as my boss needed us to extract past documents for audit purpose. By right, we need not do until this extend but due to "some people" whom doesn't know the business model and anyhow explained to auditor. Auditor then wanted to question us as they believed that there was something wrong to the process. .

Did not go out for lunch and my colleague tabao for us. Due to this last minute task, my daily work are all having backlogs. Cannot finish and has to continue on Monday. Worst still is that one of my colleague is on leave last minute and I have to cover her. Hope next week will not be a too messy week for me.

Watched movie "Lockout" at 9.20pm. We bought a burger and had it before we entered the theater as there was still some time. The movie was very fast pace and although the beginning was very animated, overall it was still good. Glad to have this movie to forget the tiredness. :)

No mood

This morning, it was so warm and I already started to sweat before I left house. The temperature was so high and I hate this type of weather. Made me so tired after perspiring.

Meeting cancelled in the morning hence I had more time to clear my emails in the morning. I was still very tired and did not feel like working.

Went to VivoCity for lunch and after that, went to visit a new customer at Raffles Place. It was raining and I could not get a taxi. Finally called for one. Luckily I was not too late for the meeting.

Had to leave office earlier today as I need to help out in the clearing of one of our cupboard and to shift our study table and the cupboard out of my room. Tomorrow, the contractor will be installing the made to measure wardrobe.

I had to pack my clothing and move them to my new house by Saturday. So sad... I have to start doing my own ironing and cleaning of the house.

MRT down again

This morning, received sms from my sister that Circle Line down between Bishan and Caldecott station. Since it did not affect the stations I usual board and alight, I proceeded to take train at Kovan station to HarbourFront station and transfer to Circle Line to Labrador Park station. At the same time, I sms 小株.

The train a bit slow at HarbourFront station and I got to know that there were no train service between Bishan and Buona Vista for Circle Line. 小株 was affected as she had to take free shuttle bus to One North station and transferred to Circle Line to Labrador Park. Luckily we were not very late for work.

We bought a slice of cake from The Patisserie at Ann Siang Road. This was their Signature cake and it really tasted different. I like its texture although it was a bit sweet. But... all cakes are sweets mah.



I got a surprise from my colleagues today. They bought ipad3 as gift for my house warming. I thought I never will own an ipad and now I am. I can carry it around when I go back to Pasir Ris home from own house in the near future. It is an useful gift but pai sei to let them waste money. I will make it useful. :)

Tired

Too tired.... No strength to write. Anyway, no special thing to mention today except a very ordinary Tuesday.

Just waiting for Friday to come...

Monday, April 16, 2012

Prawn mee

This afternoon, we went to Telok Blangah hawker centre again. As usual, I ordered the prawn mee. This time round, dare not buy $3.50 portion. Just normal $3.00 was enough. Last Friday, we ordered $3.50 bowl and it was so big portion.

Kind of in Monday blues today. No mood to work at all. Now hoping Friday to come soon.

Very tired today and don't feel like doing anything. Just laze around is so good...

Choa Chu Kang

Today, we went to Choa Chu Kang Columbarium for Qing Ming. We were caught in terrible traffic jam last year and this time round, we went on the last Sunday of the period.

Was glad that there was no jam at all and with a lot of carpark lots available. Finally no sweating in the car (as my dad's van need to off the aircon to prevent overheat). Met up with my aunt's family there.

So coincidence, met one of my colleague there and of the 3 places we need to visit, he was also visiting at the same 3 areas.

After we were done, we went to West Coast Plaza Sushi Tei for early dinner. It was rather hot this afternoon and it made us so tired. I was rather sleepy and hope to sleep earlier tonight.

There is no time for me to watch j dramas uh. Backlogs liao.

Saturday, April 14, 2012

Sleep

Stayed at new house last night. My sister slept in separate room and both of us decided not to turn on aircon to try if we could have better sleep. True enough, it was better this time round.

I slept at around 1.30pm and managed to sleep through the night but woke up a bit earlier before alarm rang. My sister though could sleep better but the sleep was affected by the hardness of the mattress. We bought the hard Seahorse brand foldable mattress and it supposed to be of better quality than the compressed foam one. However, it was too hard.... I better buy the compressed foam one for my Pasir Ris house after throwing the current bed.

Went to Chinatown to have our lunch with my mum. We met her at Serangoon Mrt station and took train together to Chinatown. After that, we went to OG to shop.

My sister finally bought the Corelle plates for me. I finally can cook at Serangoon house. Hahaha... But the plates are now still in Pasir Ris house.

Bought some items we need for our trip next month. I spent money again. Bought one windbreaker. Red red one. I can wear the National Geographic pullover together with this windbreaker and believe it will be enough for my May's trip.

We were rather tired hence went home earlier at 6pm. My dad went to buy crabs for us (I am craving) from nearby coffeeshop. Yummy dinner.

Exciting movie

This evening, we watched "Battleship". I was unaware of the storyline for this movie. Initially I thought it related to war kind but when one of my colleague told me a bit of the story, I realised it was not those "battling" in a war etc movie. It was more to it.

Managed to be on time today as we bought sushi again. It really saved us a lot of time. After movie started for about 20mins then knew that it was about fighting against aliens story.

Quite exciting and although the story was very unreal, it did make us nervous and scared. A good movie and most important was one of the actor was Liam Neeson. I like this actor. He has that charisma that makes me like him. Same type of feeling as I like Richard Gere.

Today is Hiro Mizushima's birthday. Happy birthday to my idol no 2!

I want to complain

I was so angry..... What happened to SMRT????

Took train from Buona Vista station tonight and I was very very very sure that the train was heading for Pasir Ris station. Double checked in the train that it was light up that the train will end its service at Pasir Ris station. Happily sat and took a short nap but was so shocked to hear the announcement that the train was terminating at Tanah Merah station.

It was the same as what I experienced 2 days ago. I thought I made a mistake in seeing wrongly that day but I am now very very very sure that I was correct. The train last minute changed to terminate at Tanah Merah station. Today same thing happened. Why the planning was so bad??? I hate to wait at Tanah Merah with so many people. I hope this will not happen again.

Must say again... so angry uh!

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

Poor planning

This afternoon, my colleagues went to see my new house. It was a last minute decision when one of them asked if could go to see my house. I brought my keys so no problem. In the end, total of 9 of us went there.

My colleague recommended one lor me stall at Serangoon Ave 3 but it was closed when we reached there. Business must be very good. Next time I can bring my mum there to try.

Left office at about 9pm and my colleague drove us to Queenstown station. I waited for more than 10mins for the train. After 小珠 board train towards Joo Koon, I waited so long and her direction trains kept coming every 2 min. By the time I board my train, 6th train came for Joo Koon direction. 小珠 saw many trains on my direction and it looks like very poor planning on the trains schedule.

Another scene at Pasir Ris station : The board reflected train not for boarding after we alighted. A bit of confusion there as many passengers still get in. No staff chased them out. Next... announcement came to ask passengers to board the train as it was a service train. ??? MRT getting worst?

Sleepy

I am feeling so sleepy since morning. Did not want to wake up. Initially, I still wondered if today is Saturday when my alarm clock rang. I really thought today is Saturday and no work. Too bad... it's just a dream.

Met one of my ex-colleague for lunch and we talked about Japan trip. 3 of us planning for one in 2nd half of the year. Targeting 3rd week of October.

Made a mistake when I took train home from Queenstown station. I thought I did see it was bound for Pasir Ris and the next one was to Tanah Merah only. However, when I got in, I realised the train will terminate at Tanah Merah. Too late to alight and wait for next next train. In the end, took a cab home from Tanah Merah as the station was so crowded while waiting for the next train to Pasir Ris.

Home now, still feeling sleepy... zzzzzzzz

Lunch at Akashi

MRT wrong

Look at this photo. So cute nail works. It's my colleague's.



Today left office earlier and my colleague sent us to the nearest MRT station. I took the train that was not so crowed. However, I realised that the announcement was 4 stations lagged. I think the driver realised it and amended the announcement when train reached Bedok station. No wonder I was wondering why I could see the houses etc when it announced station was at Tanjong Pagar.

Although it changed, it was still wrong. When I reached Pasir Ris station, it announced as Tampines. There were quite a few passengers still in the train and I think they thought they just reached Tampines and must heading for Pasir Ris station. This was the 2nd time I experienced it.

Today is Yamapi's birthday. Happy Birthday to my fifth idol!

No laptop tonight

I am now sitting on the floor of my new house. My sister sitting besde me. We just finished sweeping and mopping the floor. No laptop tonight to surf net. Only can depend on my phone.

This afternoon, I finally found a three seater sofa that we like. I invest a lot on my bed and sofa as these items will allow my body to relax after a day workind and walking. Whole family agreed on it. Delivery will be end Apr or first week of May. No stock for the colour I chose.

My sister finally bought her bed and we bought one set for my parents too. Hope they can have better sleep as the bed comes with individual coils and no disturbance when one moves.

Raining day

Woke up quite late this morning and got another scolding from my sister. She said I was so lazy. Wanted to go out yet still woke up so late. I was so tired mah....

We went to NEX for lunch and reached my house at around 2.30pm. I need to reach before 3pm to wait for my study chair. Unpacked my stuffs brought over yesterday and my sister helped me. My mum watched TV program.

The delivery man came at around 4pm and my aunt & uncle came to visit my new house. We stayed until 6.15pm and went for dinner at nearby coffee shop. My sister had to reach her church by 7.30pm.

Back home rather early tonight and I just did some filing of my documents. The day passed so fast.... Is it really better for me to wake up earlier so that the day will be longer??? I will try to do so.... one day. Hahaha.

Friday, April 6, 2012

Good Friday

Holiday today. I set up alarm clock for 9.30am but was scolded by my sister when my alarm rang at 7.15am. I forgot to de-activate my daily alarm set up. Oh dear!!!

I was initially blurred that thought it was already 9.30am hence intended to wake up but when I saw it was just 8.30am, I went back to sleep until 10.30am.

Went out for lunch at nearby hawker centre with my parents and sister. After lunch, went to the shop that sells pails/kitchenware/accessories to buy some items for my house. It was so hot until I my sweat was dripping.... It was going to rain hence the weather was so so so hot....

My sister needs to go for church event and my mum needed to cook dinner hence I went to new house with my dad. He helped to ferry some of my stuffs over. I packed them in 2 luggage so that it would be easier. Left the items there and did not unpack since I will be going over tomorrow.

Reached home and my dad suddenly asked me if he did switch off the ceiling fan. I could not remember and in the end, we went back to Serangoon for the sake of re-assured that we did not leave the fan on for the whole night. Had our dinner and drove there.

Found that it was not switched on so we went home lor. After parking the car and on our way back to our block, my father asked me if he did off the headlights of his van. OMG!!! I could not remember. So... he had to walk back and check. Ai yoh... so scary that he tends to forget so often. My sister actually said that she wanted to remind me to check his car headlights as he has this habit to forget. He goes home rather early daily hence usually no need to on the headlights lor....

Movie on Thursday

Wow... I love today! It's just Thursday but I watched movie tonight. Reason due to tomorrow is holiday and we will have a long weekend.

We thought there would be not much enquiries this evening and we could leave office earlier but it was always the opposite. I worked until 8.30pm then left office. We left with less than one hour to travel to VivoCity and hence no time to have our dinner.

I suggested to buy sushi from Giant and "ta bao" in to eat. Was few minutes late when we entered the theater but was still ok as to we did not miss out a lot. We watched "Mirror Mirror". It was very fun show and although the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs changed, the story was still good. I like the ending song with Bollywood song... Hahaha....

Oh yah. Not to forget... It's Haruma's birthday today. Happy birthday to my no 4 idol!

Wednesday, April 4, 2012

Happy

This evening, I was very happy as I managed to close some deals. Hope everyday can be like that and will be closer to hit my sales target.

Went out for customer visit this morning followed by lunch with colleagues at VivoCity. I managed to take some time to Self Fix store to buy some bumpers for my bed and fridge door. Also managed to do duplicate keys for my new house. Went to Daiso after lunch to buy some items too. I really very aunty liao.

Came home and am so tired. Slept in the train as eyes too tired to play Draw Something. Need more rest uh! Luckily tomorrow is holiday eve. But... weekend will be busy for me too.

Raining

Raining day. Simply dun wan to wake up. Had a very good sleep last night.

Rather busy today and left office quite late. Have to re-adjust my timing to have more time at home.

Monday, April 2, 2012

Tiredness

Did not have a good sleep last night due to unsuitable pillow. Also woke up many times due to the heavy rain. Tonight has to recover my sleep.

The M1 contractor came at 11.15am to install fiber broadband. I asked him to help me to set up the router so that I could connect to wireless surfing. However, after about 30mins, I asked him if he was having problem with the router and he said he could not activate the wireless. Not sure what happened but he could not do much. Hence I said ok and just ensure that the land connection has no problem.

After he left, I tried to do the installation myself. He did not install using the CD which I tried. Though made mistake initially but I managed to get it connected. Little genius (hahaha).

Left house at around 1 plus and took cab to office. Had lunch with colleagues who were waiting for me. Thanks to them that I need not eat alone. :P

Staying overnite at new house

Here I am in my new house. To stay tonight with my sister as I need to wait for the M1 guy to activate my internet connection tomorrow morning. The slot is 9 to 1pm so hope he will come earlier so that I can go to office without taking half day leave.

This morning woke up at 9am and took bus to new house. Did the unpacking and my elder sister came to look at the new house. They stayed for the whole afternoon till I finished and we went to Changi Citypoint for dinner. Joined my parents, younger sis and bro there. Had dinner at Japanese restaurant again. It was at Ootoya. Good food and desserts were good too. :)

Made a fast trip to Ikea Tampines to buy something and rushed home to pack things for my overnite stay. Cannot surfed too long tonight as I did not bring my charger.
