Relaxing Weekend...

Another week has almost come to the end, time flies by so quickly!!!
Spent most of my weekend resting at home and spending time with my family. :)

Saturday, I met up with my sec sch friends- Grace, Mel and Wenmin. We met and had lunch at Cafe Cartel. We shared a platter n salad together and the amount of food was really huge! So, we spent time eating and catching up with one another... Sadly, Lihan couldn't join us. We plan our gathering rather early and meet up only once a month so all of us were really looking forward to the gathering... I'm sure Lihan too, but things cropped up last min. :)

It feels great to keep in touch w good old buddies... talking abt our lives and things that are happening around us. About work and all... it's rather different than before... I mean the things that we talk about. :)

Mel and Wenmin went off for another gathering while Grace and I shopped around Junction 8. :) We left around 5pm and by then, we were both exhausted... but did some good digesting of our food. :D

Sunday was spent at home... Early in the morning, ba, ma & I went for breakfast and Sheng Siong Supermarket to do some grocery shopping... Bought some 'hello panda' biscuits for myself... ;) Wanted to buy chocolates too, but didn't. Cos I shouldn't be snacking too much. Trying to lose weight and keep fit! :p

Yup, we bought so much stuff! Rice, noodles, seafood, vege, fruits, bread and other stuff like Ribena (our fav!) etc... After getting back, we packed up our groceries and also prepared for lunch. Mother's not working today, so she wanted to cook our fav food- Chicken Rice. :)

Lunch was really sumptuous, but we also worked hard preparing it! :) All the food was finished up! Hee hee... really really yummy!

After lunch, we watched dvd together- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. :) A dvd which my colleague lent me. Nice movie, but I think I've watched it long long time ago before. :)

So, that's my weekend... Week after week, time goes by really quickly! Hope to make the most of our lives and live each day happily and fruitfully. :D

Here's a link to share, my brother sent me this link. The song is not bad. :) Enjoy...

Happy Nov... :)

It's been so long since I last blogged. Been really busy lately... Just submitted my 2005 appraisal to my boss today. It's really tough writing my own appraisal and giving myself grades. Basically A means there's exceptional performance. B means exceeds expectations. And C is actually- meeting target. Hmm... but C sounds like a really low grade... dialema... Well, it's tough filling the paper up. Anyway, I'm only 4 mths into the job so there isn't too much to write or grade... ;)


Last week, there were 2 public holidays. Didn't go anywhere, but was staying at home and resting most of the time... During this period, I watched some movies on TV, some movies I taped as well as some dvd movies my colleagues lent me. Basically, all these movies I watched wasn't really v wow... so it was quite a waste of time. :p Hmm... Anyway, what did I watch... 'Pleasantville', 'Bridget Jones II: Edge of Reason', 'How to lose a guy in 10 days', 'School of Rock', 'Initial D', 'Ong Bak', 'Swordfish'... ranked in order of preference... nicest first. But will give the nicest only 3 stars... hee hee...


A really nice dvd I watched was a documetary, not a movie. It's this dvd Zonghe sent back from USA about Hearst Castle... It's a really wonderful documentary, depicting the story of how the Hearst Family accumulated wealth and the process of building the castle.. How he worked hard and only built up his dream castle when he was old enough, mature enough... He wasn't in a hurry to build it. He took his time n gave it special planning and design and all... So the bottom line is, don't just dream, build on it... But resources play an impt part too... I guess it's about determination and also hardwork and living your dream. :) I really enjoyed this documentary. Thanks dear... :)


On Hari Raya Puasa, I met up with Pei Yun... We went to Chinatown for dim sum and also some shopping. :) Been such a long time since we last met and it's really fun to spend time w her! :) She's all the way in Japan now, attending a Tourism Conference... representing Bizad and after she's back, she'll fly off to South Africa for almost one month! :) Wow! And congrats on securing a job, Pei Yun. Well done!!! :)


The last weekend (Sat), I went for Bizad 40th Birthday Anniversary Dinner with Hong Jin, Janice, Hoiki... V fun filled dinner and the food was not bad. The highlight of it all was winning this lucky draw prize. Totally cool... Before we entered into the ballroom, we were told to drop in a name card into this fish bowl for a lucky draw later. So I did... Really didn't expect to win! The price was a Nokia hp and I gave it to my youngest brother. :) All my 3 brothers loved this new phone and all of them wanted it. But since Gor and Drrsk both got new hp q recently, decided to give to Bibsk instead. :) So, Bibsk's happy, we're all happy! :)


I've been doing some exercising too... Playing badminton on Sunday morning and jogging about twice a week after work. Trying to lose weight. Put on so much weight after I've started work...

And.. sadly, my computer sort of died... It refuses to start up... Could be the motherboard problem or could be the CPU... Hopefully we can get the parts replaced soon.


Hence, once I get home after work, I don't come online much anymore... I've to borrow other's computer... And somemore, I've been starring at the monitor the whole day, won't wanna sit in front of the comp anymore. ;)


That's why I've not been blogging for so long now. :) Hope to blog again soon...

When will I see you again (3 degrees)

When will I see you again
When will we share precious moments
Will I have to wait forever
Or will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through

When will I see you again
When will our hearts beat together
Are we in love or just friends
Is this my beginning or is this the end
When will I see you again

Are we in love or just friends
Is this my beginning or is this the end
When will I see you again...
