Showflats for Punggol Residences

Went to see the showflats at TPY HDB Hub this afternoon with Lubby.

We both like it.

However, the blocks are parallel to one another and thus we would prefer the blk outside.. facing the LRT. (LRT shouldn't produce much noise anyway)

The layout of the unit is not bad... simple yet cosy.

At night, we went to site recce.. act we just drove past and take a look dats all.. haha. The location is good, is just opposite the mrt.. and if we can get the blk we want, I think we jsut need 2 minutes to reach MRT station?

Looks Good

Received sms and email from HDB abt the new BTO flat at Punggol -- Punggol Residences.

Went to the website and checked it out.

It looks good.

Opp Punggol MRT/LRT/bus interchange. Located within the proposed Town Centre. Close to Punggol Plaza with retail and eating places, wet market and supermarket. Also close to Punggol Waterway and future education centre.

The units are with balcony and well renovated. Landscape deck is pretty . Every blk with direct lift access to the covered carpark.

And price is resonable.

Well, shall we?

Happy 1 Year 2 Months Anniversary

Got a very sweet surprise from Lubby at work. I was so happy when I saw it. Love it to the max. And can't stop smiling after receiving that. Well I shall not say anymore, let the pictures do the job~ :)

Pretty Pretty LCD

Todae went to SLS with Lubby to shop for somethings for my new pc... oh my new pc has been giving me super many problems ever since the first day it arrived at my place. Lubby tried to solve everything and when he is ard, my pc is so guai, when he went off, my pc throw temper. Going crazy liao lor.. And I was not able to blog for some reason or another with the blogger and internet problems, until now, finally...

Anyway my stupid IE cannot work, cannot display page and thus I'm using firefox now. However, firefox also wanna throw temper, always hang and gotta wait wait wait... but anyway will continue to use firefox and hope it will be guai guai!

Anyway back to SLS.. was walking ard when I saw this super pretty LCD! It is Philips white colour LCD and the monitor is actually surrounded by some blue lights..
It's so so so pretty dat I stopped and went over to touch it, admire it. And then I saw it at so many other shops. And moreover, the white keyboard with gold colour patterns are sooooo pretty and matching to the LCD! OMG!!! Lubby asked if I wanan buy.. well I love it, though it is not tat ex, quite cheap, but then... still.. money not easy to earn. To get the pretty screen + pretty keyboard.. might cost me abt $500. Was telling Lubby, I will get the pretty LCD when we have our own hse.. haha.. tat will be long huh...

Anyway I should not嫌弃my current monitor. Though it is from Lubby's place, no1 is using and is quite old and thus he just passed me.. but can save money so I should save! Anyway this monitor also dying.. but havnt died... so I will just use it first... until the day it says bye to me.

Anyway read up a little on the pretty LCD and it is called Philips Brilliance LCD Monitor 22. It is a lightframe LCD which are a feast for the eyes, designed for people who spend long hours working in front of a computer screen. So the blue colour frame has got its use.. I was thinking if it could be changed to PINK!!! wahahah.. anyway since the LCD is of such a gd use... there adds another reason to 'why-should-I-purchase-the-pretty-pretty-LCD' list...

Oh man.. I keep thinking abt it!!!! Usually this will only happen to bags, clothes, shoes, accessories... but now, this is something different! It is the first time that I am thinking an electronic items/IT gadget/computer related stuff after seeing it and didn't buy it!

New Hair Cut

After almost a year, it's time for me to rebond my hair!!! Couldn't stand my messy hair anymore, thus I took off today and went to cut my hair short and rebond my hair.

Very satisfied with my new hair cut.. Feel so much lighter and cooler now~~ WOO HOO~~

Batam 2D1N

Went to Batam for a wkend getaway on Saturday morning.

Lubby came to fetch me in the morning. Drove to Harbour Frt, parked the car and went for Mac breakfast there. Yup his car was parked at HF for 2 days coz after calculation, the carpark charges for 2 days are alrite, maybe even less than the total cost of us taking taxi.

After breakfast went to collect our tickets and then it was waiting time again. Finally we got onto the ferry and then off we went~ Didn’t eat the seasick medicine and heng I nv got seasick.

Reached Batam at around lunch time. Upon check in, the lady ask if we were there for a honeymoon or anniversary? And she said ‘if you are on anniversary, we will…’ and before she finished her sentence, Lubby said ‘no’ and she said ok nvm. I think we might get some mysterious gift or what if we were there to celebrate our anni! Should have said yes huh.. Anyway we got our room upgraded free of charge to Cabana room. And it was damn far away la.. it was the 3rd last Cabana along the stretch~

The room was quite big. But air con not strong! Anyway they have decorated the bed with rose petals. We even got 2 pairs of orange slippers. And one cool thing abt the toilet is that the roof is actually glass! U can see the sky~ and the bathtub was also decorated with petals…

Put down our things and off we went for lunch. We did not look at the menu and sumhow decided to get the buffet at S$14. WASTE $ LA! Coz the food selection was limited and not nice!! Should have just ordered their dishes or meals.

Then it was swimming time~ when we walked over to the pool it was raining! But we didn’t care and just went ahead with the swim and then the sun was out after a while~ And I didn’t put sunblk coz it was raining. Anyway we just swimmed, nua-ed, took photo with my new water-prove camera, played water basketball. It was relaxing and fun~ =)

Next up was our massage. Walked to the building and we were led to a small hut where there were beds and a bathtub. It was my 2nd time doing a massage and it was really relaxing. But Lubby was feeling rather uneasy coz he said he did not like to have other ladies touching him. Haha. And one funny thing is when he opened his eyes in the middle of the massage, the lady was wiping off her sweat! Haha. Lubby said that the lady was using all her strength to massage his big big body. Haha. And silly Lubby was in pain coz she massaged him so hard and yet he just gek his muscle which ended up more pain. Silly Lubby should just inform them ma. After the 1 hr massage we were entitled to 30min of herbal bath. Nice. =)

Then we went back for a bath before going for our candlelight dinner. We were allowed to either have the set meals or the BBQ buffet and we chose the latter. Though the food selection was more than lunch, but the food was still not v nice. There was live band singing and the singer kept walking ard to ask ppl to sing. There was this uncle who has got quite a gd voice and he sang a few songs! Haha. Then they called out some birthday boy’s/ger’s names and they were invited up and each given a small cake. With all of us singing bday songs, they celebrated their bday with so many of us. So sweet.
After dinner, time for bowling. We were given one free game each. But all the while I didn’t like bowling coz I always do not have any strength to throw the ball and thus it will always end up in the drain! And this time round it’s worse and thus I gave Lubby to play my game too.

And perhaps it was because of the massage or the swim, I fell aslp very soon. But the air con was damn hot that I perspired a lot and keep waking up. I even woke up in the middle of the night because I got tummy ache! And then Lubby also woke up and had diarrhoea.

The next day we went for breakfast, which was of limited choice of food and most were not nice again. Then we packed and checked out and took the free shuttle bus to Nagoya Shopping Mall. Heard fr HX that the tshirts there are cheap and thus made my way there and bought myself 2 tops only. Because the sizes are kinda small for the big fat me! =( Should have bought more because the tees are really super cheap. S$4.60 for 2 tshirt! But of coz the material was not good and I can forsee the tees being out of shape after wearing 2-3 times? But still it was a very gd deal! We then had A&W for lunch. Shopped around for more but Lubby was kinda disappointed because he thought he could get perfume there but everything was either ‘chiong’ or no brand and thus he was not able to get anything.

Went back to hotel and waited for the van to send us to the ferry terminal.

As I received an sms fr YT that she really got the C brand bag as there were really sales, we decided to go to the Raffles City outlet to take a look too. Saw one which is white and silver and original price was $600++ and after discount it was $400++. Tempted to get but the sales person said that it was not a everyday bag as the leather was sprayed with silver paint and it might drop due to wear and tear. And thus we have decided to go to the TAKA outlet and take a look another day.

It was a very fun and relaxing wkend and I wanna go for more~ =)

The Weekend

Friday night was KTV session with colleagues. Think coz drank a bit and din rest well, on top of my sore throat, and all the singing. The next day (Sat) when I woke up I was feeling warm. But after a while, I felt ok.

Lubby and I wanted to go cycling but the dunno-how-to-predict-weather me told him tat the sky looked dark and cloudy and thus we cancelled our cycling trip. Went to SLS to get sumthing instead. And after lunch I was feeling pretty warm again. And Lubby was worried coz I am feeling warm, having sore throat, coughing a little, nose dun feel well too! So we decided to go his hse and take a rest first b4 little Ryan's bday celebration at night. Took the fever med and caught a nap and I was feeling much better.

And then the bday boy arrived and it was our play time again. And this cheeky boy is sooooo noty. He was 'driving' and asked me to be his passenger. Then he went off to do sumthing and so I went into Lubby's room. Then he say where is my passenger? Then I heard uncle asked him sumthing like where and he said with a sulking face, at one corner of the living room, ' in the room'. And I managed to caught his expression coz I was already on my way out to play with him. Then he didn't let me this passenger off anymore. When he walked off, I will stand up and then he will say I'm done and come back to drive. haha. And there was one time I was in the kitchen and he screamed, 'Auntie Vivian, where are you????' He's VERY loud! Though it can be quite tiring to play with him, but I had lotsa fun. :)

Then it was time for him to open his big big present from his mummy. His mummy was bluffing him tat it was her dollies and asked him to help open. He was tearing the wrapper half way and then his mummy asked him sumthing and he said, it's not for boys. Then as he tore the wrapper more and more, he realised it's his toys! and he was damn damn happy.

And then, it was time for all of us to help him fix his toys.. haha. And because of that toy he was not hungry even after everyone finished dinner. haha. And he even said 'I dun need dinner'. Noty boy. And because the set does not come with cars.. so lubby and I went to the 7eleven and got him 3 toy cars to play with. :)

After dinner, it was a busy time for lubby as he gotta help set up a mini arcade car racing place! Uncle has this PC racing game and lubby helped to connect to the TV and after all the hardwork (really hardwork.. so much things to connect and settle and a lot of problems arised) we all can finally play the racing game! And of coz little Ryan love that game soooo much that he dun even wanna go home.

This morning after seeing the doc again as sore throat still yet to recover and yst having a bit of fever, Lubby and I went to shop~ I bought quite a lot of things. Bought 2 nail polishes and one concealer from Face Shop, themometer and bed room slippers from Watsons, belt from BHG for lubby, Moo Moo brand hse key pouch for lubby. And the main aim was actually to get myself another pair of shoes and we finally got it from Pazzion and I only paid 20cents for it! (thanks lubby~)

And I think my laptop is getting siao and dying soon.. but lubby said he will build a pc for me! :) but dat also means my $ willbe flying away again~~~ but no choice la.. PC is a need ma..

针灸

上次扭伤脚，还没有痊愈，按下去还是会痛。于是再去看多一次医生。而这次的针灸还得用电！吓死我了。针所刺下去的地方感觉到“脉搏”的跳动，加上那盏“热灯”，差点就有烧猪脚可以吃了。

彷徨

从小到大，我都没有什么伟大的理想。身边的有些朋友从小就有着想要当医生、老师等的梦想，而我，却没有。

中学上初院，选科目并不是根据自己将来的理想而定，而是看自己哪一科的成绩较好。于是就选择了高级华文。

考上大学，还是不知道自己想要做什么，于是又是跟着自己的兴趣，以及认为哪一科会让我能够读得上，考得到而选。就这样，进入了中文系。

大学三年级完毕后，无意间接触到报章，于是就三不五时地写写自己对某些事情的看法，提交给报章的编辑，希望能够在报章上看到自己的文章。一次次地看到自己的照片出现在报章上，我是多么地开心、多么有成就感。就这样，我觉得自己应该是做记者的料。于是在四年级的最后一个学期，就向报业控股提交上自己的学历表，想要做记者。成功通过了那难死人的笔试，到了第二轮面试。面对着大概十个‘考官’，开始时吓了一跳，但是后来反而轻松起来。也许是因为那是以华文为主要语言的一个面试，所以较得心应手。

本来是有机会当记者的，但是当时却刚好已经签了现在公司的约，从此以后，记者这行业就不再出现在我的脑海里了。

两年后的我，再问自己，我的理想，我的人生目标是什么？我想要做的是怎样的工？

说真的，我答不上来。我似乎对记者那行业已经不像以前那么热爱，但是我又不知道自己想要做些什么。

其实，我不是一个很有事业心的人。 对我而言，我不想要飞黄腾达，也从没羡慕过身边那些年纪轻轻却已有一番事业的女生。我要的，只不过是一份安定的工作，一份我喜欢、我热爱的工作。我只要三餐温饱、有钱逛逛街、去去旅行就心满意足了。对我而言，什么在几年内升上什么职位，都没关系。就因为这样，我要找到一份我很喜欢的工作，日子才不会难过。

过去的两年，我常告诉我身边的朋友，我很庆幸能够找到一份我这么喜欢的工作。虽然我还是希望能够放放假、偷偷懒，但是我大部分的时间都是带着愉悦的心情上班的。

可是，最近，我的心情糟透了，整个人就像是跌倒了谷底。我找不到了我曾拥有的那份热忱、对工作的那份爱。我真的好想把它们找回来，可是我不知道它们到底多到哪里去了。而每天都是托着脚步去上班。真得很讨厌这感觉。最惨的是，这感觉一天比一天强烈。

我该怎么办呢？真希望老天爷能帮帮我。

The Weekend Is Ending...

So fast... the wkend is over in 5 hrs time...

*omg! I looked out of my window and it's DARK. And now it is raining!*

This wkend has been a activities-filled one, without much time for me to rest.

Fri after work, met Lubby and went IKEA for dinner. Then walked ard for our food to digest before heading to Vivo to watch Ice Age 3. Well, personally I feel that Ice Age 3 is not as nice. Very expected plot. Oh well, what can I expect, it's a children cartoon ma.. But other than the storyline, it was quite a funny show with all the lame characters. Had quite a gd luff during the movie.

Sat morning wanted to slp in but sumhow auto woke up at abt 9am. Sianz. Watched 娱百 online. Caught the episode of 曹格听证会. Damn happy coz got my 2 fav artist -- 小猪and曹格! Luff and enjoyed the episode before prepared myself to go cycling at ECP with Lubby.

It has been quite some time since we last cycled. And thus I was quite tired. Oh, one incident to note. Before lunch at the hawker, I went to the toilet and when I came out, I heard a girl crying and screaming. And when I left the toilet, I saw a girl with bloody hands and legs standing outside the toilet, next to the tap. A lady (believed to be the mother) was trying to calm her down and then took some tissue and asked her to bite. And then a few more ladies rushed up to help. I saw that and was scared. I am scared of blood. If I see others bleeding, I will feel giddy and might even faint. And then I stopped myself from looking and went back to our table at the hawker. Told Lubby abt it and the girl was from our next table. Apparently she and her frens were 'skating' and playing at the slope and fell and I think her permenent teeth was hit and yah bleed. OMG. I was feeling weak already and just sat down, not able to move much. After lunch, I felt better. SCARY!

We cycled til abt 3+ and then went back to Lubby hse to bath. Watched a few movies on SCV and had dinner at his place. Korean Cha Jiang Mian~ Yummy~

Todae wanted to slp in too but woke up at 9am again! haiz.. Went online to watch 娱百again. Caught the episode of Wilber 听证会。It is DAMN funny. 小猪tried to speak Eng and made a lot of jokes and I luff til tears also rolled down. haha.

Then prepared and Lubby came to fetch us to lunch at Taka Imperial Treasure. Ate lots of dim sum and also ordered the high tea sets. Super full. But had lots of fun. Esp the last part when we played 终极密码to finish the french toast. After lunch, went to walk a bit and then home sweet home. And here I am blogging. :)

Going to watch 《华文 谁怕谁》 later at 8pm. Mayor will be dressed in yellow suit.. wanna see~~

And then it's Monday tml... SIANZ!!!

My Love

Decided to catch some episode of 娱百 as it has been a long time since I watched. Watched the episode of 曹格听证会。

I love this episode because there is 小猪who is always making the atmosphere so fun and alive and my all time fav artist, and the 特别来宾is 曹格who is also my all time fav 歌手!

Not the first time hear this song, but when I hear him sing live again, I was so touched all over again and even起鸡皮疙瘩。I just love his voice so much. Nv failed to touch me even once.

And thank you 小猪and曹格, you started my Saturday with a smile! :D Love you guys to the max!!!!

Our New Baby

I have nv tot of getting another camera. I have nv tot of getting a waterprove camera.

Until we saw it at best the wkend b4. And we tot it might be a gd idea to have one waterprove cam so that when we go to swim, or go to the beach, or just normal days we dun haf to worry abt getting it wet or bad weather.

Was at Parkway last night and it was a pretty good deal at Harvey Norman and thus decided to get it.

There goes our $ from the government~

Unclear Direction in Life

Feeling low morale nowadays.

Talked to my mum abt the changes. She said that if it’s too tough, and I dun like it, then just take my leave.

Talked to my lubby and he said he will support me no matter wat.

I’m very glad that I have supportive love ones ard me. Really. I really appreciate all these. I’m very touched that I have my love ones there for me even when I’m feeling down. Though I may be hot temper, though I may not spend much time at home, but my mummy is still supportive. She said that she has been out of the working society for too long and dun understand all these. But it’s gd enuff that she lent me her listening ears.

Will know the changes officially later in the afternoon. Heard a lot of different rumours abt it and I’ve been telling myself not to believe til the meeting. But I’m already affected by all the rumours.

Suddenly, I asked myself, is it time for a change?

Maybe I should start rethinking abt the direction in my life. I’m not resisting to changes, coz we should get out of our comfort zone and expose ourselves to other things in life.

Though I really do love my job. And I’m really happy that my first job is a gd one. And I haf been enjoying my work for the past 2 years. But with the new changes, things seem to be a different from what I been enjoying.

I told myself to take the challenge and see if I’m ok with it before making a decision.

But suddenly, I remembered what I’ve wanted to do when I was still in uni. I wanted to be a journalist. But now, I dun think I still want that. The working time is too unstable for me. I dun really fancy that type of working duration and timing. And I think my Chinese has become rusty overtime already.

Then suddenly I think of mediacorp. Yes, somewhere that I’ve been trying to get into when I was looking for job. But there were some prob with the online system and my resume can nv be posted and thus nv be able to get any job interview. Maybe it’s time for me to retry. I’ve always wanted to know how mediacorp work. Maybe to organise events, concerts etc. But seriously speaking, I dunno what are the positions available there though. Have to go take a look first.

Then I tot of kids. I love kids. But what are the job out there that are related to kids? That I can interact and play with them everyday? Childcare teacher? But I dun even haf the cert and I even haf difficulty attending the course coz of the timing etc and my job nature.

Then I remember how much I wanna do voiceover. I will always imagine how it will be like if I can do voiceover for TV advertisement etc. That’s like one of my dream too. But I dun even noe how to go about finding such lobang.

Then sumhow my direction in life seem to be a bit blur. I’ve been to comfortable in my current job for the past 2 years that I din really go think abt what I really want and if this is really a job that I wanna stick with.

Maybe it is time to explore?
