Last Day of 2008
The whole office celebrated the last day of 2008 by having cycling for half the day at ECP.
I think I have never cycled as early as 9+am b4 and it's good I will say. The sun is not THAT hot yet and ECP is kinda empty. We had the road all to ourselves. However, we were tired (leg pain, butt pain) after cycling for abt an hour plus and thus we settled down at BK to rest and chat.
And after all the chatting, it's time to return the bike. And after which, everyone of us was provided with a box of mixed fruits. Healthy day huh.. exercise and fruits.
Just as we were having fruits, one of our colleagues went to try out Jumping Jack. I believe it's some kinda new sports which you have to wear a shoe with some bouncing "sticks" attached so you are "taller" which Lub Lub commented that it's stupid the other day. haha. Anyway you got to pay $5 for 10 min and it looks tough. At least on my colleague. After he tried, we saw some other kids trying out and they were STEADY man!!! They managed to go on their own after a little while. Wow...
All of us were dismissed at 12+pm and here I am, home sweet home.
Going to my uncle place for gathering tonight. Hoping to catch all the firework at his place!!
Anyway, I would like to wish all of you a very happy new year and may you be healthy, wealthy and happy always in 2009~~

2009 resolution
Previously I have blogged abt what are the memorable times and achievements I have done in 2008. Was chatting with frens and realised I have yet to think about my new year resolution.
I guess it’s time to do some thinking.
1. Better relationship with family members. As I started working and being in a r/s, the time I spent with my family is lesser. Will try to spend more time with them and try to understand them more and build a better r/s with them.
2. Healthier lifestyle. I started to snack more and exercise less. It’s bad! Time to go back to my healthy lifestyle. Stop snacking and exercise more. Since I have my foldable bike liao, I shall cycle more. Lose some weight and fall sick less often.
3. Travelling. I love travelling. I’m glad that I travelled to quite a number of places this year and I hope to be able to continue my adventure next year. Aiming for Australia and maybe Vietnam or China. And of coz will still go for my short getaway trips to beaches.
4. Do better in work. I love my job and I hope that I will continue to love what I’m doing and have more achievement.
5. Save more and spend less. Though I have been saving an amount every mth. But somehow I started to overspend. Shall stop spending on unnecessary items and save more. For our future.
6. Improve my r/s with lub lub. Though our r/s is quite stable already but I still wish for more improvement. Hope to have a better r/s with him. Hope my family can accept him totally too. And well… see if we are ready for the next level then. :)
7. Happy. Happy. Happy. And happy.

Emotional
Was chatting with yeek last night on MSN, realised that somehow we were facing the same problem.
Feel that she can really understand my unhappiness and 无助ness, just like in the last post.
I guess you can only fully understand a situation and feeling IF you have experienced the same thing before.
I do love my parents. I do love my family. And I know that they love me too. Just that, perhaps, their way of showing love is something which I can’t accept at times.
I knew that when she threw cold water at me, she is just worried and being concern or simply naggy. But no1 loves to be thrown cold water at. I can try to control and ignore, but every words she said still hurt me. That’s because she mean a lot to me. If not I wouldn’t even have cared.
Generation gap. That might be the reason.
I don’t think I’m asking for too much. I just want her moral support in the things I do. I don’t need all the cold water. I just wished that she can share all my joy with me and not giving cold and negative comments.
Yes, I know her thinking is traditional and different from me. But now we are no longer living in the 60s or 70s. Time has changed. And so we have to adjust our thinking too right.
You guys may not know it, but I do have restrictions made by her. I’m not having as much freedom as you all are having. And I never rebel to all these restrictions which I do not agree to. I just quietly accept and obey. But deep inside me, I need the freedom. I’m not a kid anymore. I’m already 25 years old. I’m an adult. I can take care of myself well enough. I want to lead a life like the other 25 years old can at times.
I wish that I can go out as often as I wish to. I wish that I can go out as late as I wish to. I wish that I can do whatever I want. But I still will make time to have dinner at home, spend time at home. (That’s what I’m doing now)
Seeing the difference between her and grandma, I can see the same thing between her and me. Seeing the way she got 气煞by my grandma, it’s just like how I feel at times when I talk to her.
Whatever it is, I still do love my parents. And sometimes I even feel that I didn’t do enough, though to others I have done enough. But, I just wish that they can be a little more supportive.
And I’m really happy that I have a supportive lub lub who is always there for me when I need him. He shares my joy and sorrow and speaking to him always makes me feel better. Thanks lub lub.

Can you spot what's wrong with this little card? (no prize for those who guessed correctly though..)
圣诞收获
从小，就没有怎么庆祝圣诞节。原因很简单，家里不是信耶稣，父母认为圣诞节没什么值得庆祝。就因为如此，父母也很少送圣诞礼物给我们。（只记得小时候好像收到一两次而已）很奇怪的，身边的朋友也没有特别庆祝圣诞的习惯，所以就没有所谓的gift exchange。
自从上班后，有些同事就会在圣诞节是准备一些小礼物送给其他的同事。而今年我收到了一些“我并没有expect他会送礼物给我的同事”所送的礼物，还真的有些意外。
1. Irene – Precious thoughts 的小盒子兼摆设。很sweet很美。
2. Lay Keow – Flower from Children Cancer Foundation。
3. Yanting – crunchy toffee shortbread。没吃过，也还没开来吃。哈哈。
4. Naj – Body shop 的strawberry soap。香香的。
5. Sha – cute little sheep with santa hat and scarf hp chain。已吊在我的手机上。
6. Hwee Keow – 亲手做的可爱的猫猫磁铁。
7. Cass – body scrub。昨天开来用，还蛮不错的。
8. Laura – forever friends note book。可爱~
9. Steph – Chocolate spoon。很特别！在喝咖啡还是其他热饮时，用choco spoon搅拌，choco spoon会溶化，咖啡或热饮就会有巧克力味道啦~
10. Nur – Sins Chocolate。似乎Sins就是她的代表，因为去年也是收到同样的礼物哦~
11. Noor – towel cupcake。有创意~
12. Jean – 熊猫钥匙扣和巧克力。Reminded me of sumone. Wahahaha.
13. Khairul – 豆腐coin bank。很可爱~~~
14. Alex – hamster (?) hp chain.看过这动物好几次，但一直搞不清楚是什么动物。哈哈。
今年的圣诞我觉得特别温暖。虽然以往家里没有gift exchange的习惯，但是今年我似乎有了第二个家。收到了熊熊和家人送的礼物，感觉很温馨。
1． 熊熊 – foldable bike. I’m loving it more and more.
2． 熊熊父母 – Radley的皮包。很sweet。
3． 熊熊姐姐 – body lotion。还没用呢。
4． 熊熊其他亲戚 – 红包、文具和耳环。都很美。
谢谢以上的每一位，也谢谢其他sms我的朋友，让我过了一个温馨的圣诞节~

Back from Korea
Couldn’t remember exactly where I went for each of the days I was in Korea. I was not as hardworking as HX and LH who recorded down where they went everyday in sequence, as well as what they buy and how much they spent.
Anyways, it is a fruitful trip I would say. My tour group consisted of 27 people and most of the people are nice, except for the pinky family.
We went to Jeju Island after we touched down at Korea. Went to a few places like the Mysterious road and Seongup Fold Village where we met the 2second artist who acted in 大长金. Some of the places which I like are the Teddy Bear Museum and Seongsan Sunrise Peak. The Teddy Bear Museum has a lot a lot of teddy bears. We were kinda disappointed coz the famous LV bear was not wearing the expensive LV leather clothes and pants. Instead it is just wearing some casual clothes. And also we didn’t manage to find the 4.5mm bear. Perhaps it is too small for ‘blind’ people like us. Seongsan Sunrise Peak is a nice place with nice scenery. The wind there was quite strong and we were quite cold when we tried our best to take photos at that area. We also tried the abalone porridge. The abalone is different from the one we always eat during CNY. The abalone there is fresh and yummy~ hehe. And of coz there was shopping too where we visited the most popular shopping street in Jeju – TopDong street.
We then flew to Daegu where we visited Dongwahsa Temple and DongSeongRo Shopping Street. Nothing impressive there and the only thing I could really remember is that my boots was opening its ‘mouth’ when we visited the temple. And also the weather was very windy and we had to use heat pad to keep ourselves warm.
The next day we went to YongPyong Dragon Valley ski resort for our skiing~ it was FUN~~~~~~~ It was the first time I try skiing. Though it was quite hard to stop after skiing down slope but after practicing for sometime I could somehow control my movement. Though the weather was about 0degree yet we are perspiring due to the ‘intensive exercise’ we were having. Not the skiing part but climbing up to the higher part of the slope so that we can ski down. The weather turn colder at night (-2degree) when we went out for dinner.
The next morning before we left the ski resort, our very nice tour guide brought us to sit cable car up hill all the way to the winter sonata place where they took the cable car. That place was at an altitude of about 1400++m. The weather there was the coldest of all! It was snowing too. But it’s just simply beautiful. I really love that place a lot. All you can see was just white colour trees and ground. We took a lot of photos there and took cable car down to ski resort and left the place.
After which we went to Decksan Spa Castle. This was the first time where I have to be naked for spa session! Some of the girls in our tour group got culture shock when they saw naked women walking around in the changing room and decided to leave the place. But I was ok and just quickly took my clothes off and bathed and then spa~ it was quite an experience for me I guess and I enjoyed my spa session. And perhaps is due to the better blood circulation after the spa session, I felt more tired at night during bedtime.
After breakfast at hotel the next morning, we went to Yongin Everland. Many have warned me about the cold and windy weather there and thus we wore more and thicker clothes on that day. And who knows I ended up perspiring and had to take off one layer of clothings. As I was a timid person (if you know me well), I did not dare to take all the scary and adventurous ride. ( I think lub lub will love that place and may take all the rides.. haha ) So we just went around taking photos. After which we went to watch a Korean performance. The first half of the show was quite boring coz other than hitting the drum there was no1 talking at all. However the second half of the show was more interesting when they start to perform and even asked some audience to join them.
As we all know, Korea is famous for kimchi and ginseng. Thus we also went to try out kimchi making. After which we got the chance to try out Korean traditional costume and took photos. We also went to some ginseng showroom and cordyceps showroom where some tour mates bought their products. We also visited the Amethyst factory. The purple gemstones can help to block away all the evils and bad things coming our way. And thus I bought a pair of earrings for mummy and one for myself.
Our tour guide also brought us to the face shop where I bought a lot of skincare worth $200000++ won!!!!! And what was scary was that everyone who was in the shop was just sweeping everything they saw into the basket in their hands. It is as if everything is FREE though the things there are abt 1/3 of the price in SG. And I was just one of them too. Haha. We also went to Dongdaemun Market where we did not manage to buy anything. And we conclude that it was not a good place to shop, at least for us. Shinchi ladies market and Myongdong were better place to shop where we bought quite some things. Too bad we did not have enough time to walk the whole place.
Lotteworld Adventure was another place that we visited. As we went there in the evening and it was a Friday, thus it was very crowded and we didn’t manage to take all 3 rides. We only took the monorail which we could have the view of the whole Lotteworld. We also took a lot of photos at this beautiful indoor and outdoor theme park.
During the last day at Korea, we went to Piccosa street which was the filming site for ‘Coffee Prince’. HX who has watched the show said that the place was not as nice as what was shown on TV. At the local product shop, I bought a lot a lot of food for my family and also lub lub family.
Overall, it is a happy and enjoyable holiday. Although I spent about 3.7k in total for package, cosmetics, skincare, amethyst jewelry, local products, photos, meals, shopping… it is quite a lot of money I would say, but I think it’s all worth it!
If I have the money and the chance, I would love to go back to Korea again. Maybe during autumn. =)

Happy 200th day to my one and only Lub Lub
Everyday we have been counting.
And then suddenly, it's the 200th day already!
Part of me feel that wow time has past so fast! We have spent 200 days together.
Another part of me feel like we have known each other for soooo long and have been walking together for longer than 200 days!
Whatever it is, I am happy to have found u 200 days ago. And thank you so much for all you have done for me for the past 200 days.
I hope that the number will continue to increase and never stop.
Love you so much! (Hm.. is this the first time I say this in my blog...)
Muacks!!!

Happy Birthday to Mummy~
Todae is mummy's lunar birthday. My parents wanted a chinese restaurant for lunch and so I suggested Pu Tien at Tamp. I have been to the one at vivo food republic and I quite like their food. Kinda special... esp the lor mee. And since they wanted to go to Tamp as CH was supposed to go for chior at Pasir Ris in the morning, and Tamp is nearer and thus more convenient.
Lub Lub came to fetch us to Tamp. The food there is not bad and the service is quite good. We ordered a 4 platter (pork belly, duck, seaweed and pig stomach with 8 treasure), some deep fried fish, shark fin, fried oyster, steamed prawn with garlic, fried chicken, vege, sweet and sour pork, lor mee and dessert. And we have bought tropical mango cake from four leaves and we cut the cake after our lunch. The waitress there asked if we wanted them to sing birthday song for us and the daughter and sons just said yes yes!! hahaha... and then they gathered around our table and sang both chinese and english version. It was funny to see my mummy looking a bit embrassed and yet happy.
After lunch, Lub Lub drove Mummy, Grandma and me to my uncle's place to try on some winter coat. Daddy and Mummy saw the big coat I borrowed from LH and felt that it would not be enough for Korea (negative temp wor!) and said that I should get a down coat. Naj also mentioned before that I should get a good jacket and then will not have to worry about what to wear inside. So yah, checked with my aunty and so made our way down to try. But turn out that one was too small and the other not suitable for negative degree.
Grandma then decided that she wanna go down to Chinatown to buy cloth to make pants and thus Lub Lub drove us down. Then Lub Lub and I went to OG to look at the winter clothings and in the end we just got some heat pads. But Lub Lub managed to get some Christmas presents for his parents and himself. And then Daddy called to tell us that there is a cold wear shop at People's Park (I think?) and so we went to take a look. Bought a down jacket and a pair of gloves in the end. Spent $201.60! But well, as long as I maintain and keep my down jacket properly, and provided that I don't grow fatter and fatter, I can wear that down jacket for life! So now, with the down jacket and gloves and everything else, my parents and Lub Lub should not be as worried for me, I hope.
Then, Lub Lub drove us home. Mummy invited him to come up to eat mee sua with chicken soup and egg but he wanted to go home. However, Grandma said that he should come up to take a rest coz he has been driving the whole day! And I can see that Lub Lub is kinda tired too. So he agreed and rest a while and ate some mee sua before leaving for home.
Thanks Lub Lub for driving us all around SG. But I guessed it was a good chance for him and my family to interact more. And I hope that there will be more such chances to come and hopefully my family will accept him sooner. :)

Friend on road
If you see this on a car on the road, it's Lub Lub's car~~ say hi to him ok? and do look out for me, I might be in there too~
Saw this at 7eleven yesterday while Lub Lub sent his car for washing and vacuuming. Lub Lub likes it a lot but I said that it's a waste of money. But I could see that he really likes it a lot so yah we got it in the end.
Isn't it cute? hehe...
Looks like i'm starting to like squarrel (ever since we got squee squee) and hamster (rhino in Bolt!)... come to think of it.. both are brown and fury and look alike in some ways huh?

又是另一次的失败
我不知道为什么会那么紧张。
甚至比第一次还更紧张。
考官一眼就看出了我紧张的情绪，一直告诉我放轻松，还慢慢地guide我要怎么走，几时该转等等。
但是，我在curcuit的第一项挑战就困难重重了。进了circuit这么多次，从没遇过这样的问题。我真的不知道昨天发了什么神经。就因为第一项任务花了很多时间和精力去完成，所以之后我就没有什么心情去完成其他的任务了。
然后，在下雨的情况下，又一辆van没有signal也没有什么，突然慢下来，然后转进小路。而我记得我是有立刻慢下来，可是考官觉得我没有。Well，如果这是他的看法，我说什么也没有什么用。
Well, as expected, failed。
我对自己非常的失望。我并不是因为没有pass而伤心，而是对自己非常的失望。为什么我在考试时总会那么的紧张？为什么考试时的表现和平时完全不一样？
昨天的我好想放弃。但是，我不会的。因为我要证明给自己看，我是可以的。更何况，考到驾照后，我就能借用熊熊的mistress了。哈哈~

Wedding Lunch
最近的一份报道说到了现在越来越多的情侣选择wedding lunch。
我本身并没有出席过任何的wedding lunch，也没有听说身边的朋友有这样的打算。但是，我觉得这是一个相当不错的idea。
大多数的喜酒都是在晚上，从8点多到11点多。如果你observe身边发生的一切，你应该会发现到了晚上10点多11点时，有些出席婚宴的嘉宾会开始离开。因为第二天要工作，又或者太晚了，想早点回家。而当晚的主角送了全部的嘉宾离开后，自己还有一大堆的事情要settle，然后洗澡休息。最后，能够真正休息时已经是半夜两、三点了。
但是，如果是wedding lunch的话呢？12点开始，两点多三点结束。不怕有人会因为明天要工作而早走，更不会有人说不要太晚回家。新婚夫妇送嘉宾离开，处理一些事情，大概傍晚时分就能休息，好好享受二人世界了。这不是更好吗？
但我想，也许有些比较保守或思想比较traditional的朋友或家人会认为wedding lunch不够大方。但是对我而言，如果wedding lunch就如同wedding dinner一样有一定number of tables，邀请身边的亲朋戚友，有“切蛋糕”仪式、“yum seng”仪式等，不就也是酒席吗？
Wedding lunch，越想越喜欢这样的idea。

Peeing matters
Was reading an article on someone’s blog about Prince William leaking in public and den ganna caught and taken photograph. Now the whole world can see the little Prince William.
And then I remembered two incidents.
A few years back when I was travelling on the MRT in SG, this mother took out a red colour plastic bag and placed it on the floor, asking the daughter to pee into it. Then the 4 – 5 year old girl pulled up her skirt, pulled down her panty and peed into the plastic bag. Yes, right in the middle of the MRT carriage, with everyone staring at her and the mother. After the little girl had finished peeing, the mother tied the plastic bag and put it under the bench. And she LEFT the plastic bag of URINE behind when she reached her destination.
Alright, the little girl might be too urgent and might wet her pants any time. Then please toilet train your girl well, if not please just let her wear diapers ya? It’s very disgusting to see a little girl in the middle of the MRT carriage peeing you know? What if some tourists visit SG for the first time and that’s what they saw once they stepped into the train? Will they have a good impression of SG? And please, being an adult, you should know that you HAVE TO THROW AWAY THAT BAG OF URINE INSTEAD OF LEAVING THEM BEHIND FOR THE NEXT PASSANGER!
During my tour in Taiwan, when I was at a theme park, I saw something which was just as disgusting. About 10 steps away from the toilet, a mother took off her daughter’s pants and panty, carried her and let her pee onto the MIDDLE OF THE PATHWAY.
Hello, you are only 10 steps away from the toilet. And moreover there was NO que in the toilet at all! Alright, if you really hate the toilet so much, please bring your daughter to a corner or some grass or bushes, instead of the middle of the pathway where people are walking past you every second.
I remembered my parents holding plastic bags for my youngest brother to pee into it when he was very young. But they do it secretly at a corner and threw away the plastic bag after that.
Yes, it’s not easy to bring a child around. Especially when they are still not very well toilet trained. So perhaps we could just let our babies/children wear diapers first until they can really control? By letting them pee in public, not only is it shameful on the parents, but the children too. And germs and bacterial will be everywhere. We have to be considerate to everyone ya?

25岁生日
今年的农历生日，在香港度过。晚上回爷爷家钱，买了个蛋糕。看着糕饼店的橱窗，决定要买那个粉红并可爱的hello kitty蛋糕。这是否证明了我虽然年长了一岁，但是我的心还是个小孩？
今年的农历生日，在香港度过。晚上回爷爷家钱，买了个蛋糕。看着糕饼店的橱窗，决定要买那个粉红并可爱的hello kitty蛋糕。这是否证明了我虽然年长了一岁，但是我的心还是个小孩？
阳历生日的当天，使我刚从香港回来的第二天。妈咪煮了鸡腿加红鸡蛋面线给我。吃了午餐后，便开始准备出门了。一上熊熊的车，他就给了我一束红玫瑰。本来要看电影，但是因为时间的关系，我们只好取消这年头，而改去了Marina Barrage。那地方相当美，但是非常不适合穿着裙子与高跟鞋的我，所以我们逗留了一下子就离开了。
由于晚餐已经订了6点多的位子，所以到了乌节路走走，打发时间。当晚的晚餐是在hyatt hotel的pete’s place。当晚可说是和朋友的聚会，并同时庆祝另外两位朋友的生日。就这样开开心心，在欢笑中度过了3个钟头。然后我和熊熊便去买了一小片蛋糕，到了东海岸庆祝生日。
这是熊熊第一次为我庆祝生日。听着他第一次为我唱生日歌，心里有着说不出的甜蜜与感动。就这样过了一个简简单单，却非常开心与温暖的生日。
今年的生日，收到了好些朋友的祝福以及礼物：
1) 爸爸、妈咪、婆婆和爷爷给的红包。
2) 熊熊的blink blink、玫瑰花、晚餐以及陪伴。
3) 熊熊妈妈的very intelligent pocket 和sms。
4) 熊熊姐姐的红包。
5) HX和LH的红包 – 用来买一个白色的手提袋和黑色的shawl。
6) Smurfies, Staries和Dearies送的speakers和USB port.
7) Renee, HJ, Agnes, Sophia, muzi和juli送的“不知道什么礼物”（拜五才会收到哦。）
8) 当然还有其他朋友的祝福。
那些还没有送我礼物的朋友，应该知道怎么做了吧？！ 哈哈~~
