Tea with colleague

Nothing beats having a short chat over ‘tea’ with a fellow colleague. I ordered cookies&cream milk shake from the canteen’s cafe and also had chicken sandwich. Never knew they actually sold milk shakes here. :X

It’s nice to have a listening ear when one needs it the most. This female colleague shares many of her pregnancy experiences and it’s nice to hear that you are not the only lonely pregnant soul in this world.

Just hope days will get by real soon.

Goodbye Michael Crichton.. forever

My favorite author Michael Crichton dies at age 66. According to the Yahoo news, he died of cancer he had been battling with privately. I was totally devastated when i saw the news.

I must really thank him for bringing out the interest in reading in me.

Why devastated?

I really love his books and had finished reading all the current available series. Though most of the stories are more of the fictional nature, they are closer to reality than you think. Not all authors could write books as “real-like” as him. It’s a waste that the publisher has stopped the publishing of his new book indefinitely.

Last but not least, may he rest in peace.

GroWord Best Score

Have you ever seen this score in GroWord? Hubby had gotten a score of 88 just by entering the word ‘TREATS’

My Wawas

Sometime ago, under the influence of a colleague, I was very hooked on Viwawa. As my work gets busier, i got less and less interested in playing such games. Just like those Yahoo games, once you start a new game session, you can’t just leave halfway; unlike RPG games where you can login or logout as and when you like it without being considered a spoilsport or rude.

However, even though you seldom see me actually logged into Viwawa, you will still see my avatar as online. Why? My cute hubby has recently get himself addicted to GroWord. He is too lazy to create a new account, so my very first account was used by him. It’s kind of weird of him to use my girly wawa for his game, but who actually cares who the player is at the other end right?

In the end, I have to create another new avatar for myself so that i can restart as a beginner if my playing mood is back. My the other avatar is almost becoming an ‘expert’ in most of the games.

Nice Rainy morning

I woke up at 530am this morning feeling cold yet refreshed. It’s yet another morning where I have to wake up extremely early to prepare to go for class. The sky was still dark and it was drizzling beautifully on the outside. My full windows in the living room highlighted the effects nicely.

i loved to hear the pattering sound of the rain against my window panes. And usually I will make myself a cup of hot coffee and snuggle into the cushions that were on the raised platform beside the full windows. This morning, however, I have the sudden urge to go back to sleep, to snuggle beside the sleeping hubby. Time is simply too short for me to really relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I have to be out of house by 6.40am.

I missed those days when i was overseas. Those were the days where I could really enjoy and relax, and to reflect on what I have achieved or done in life. I wonder when my next overseas trip will be.

Perhaps 3 years later.

Addicted to entrecard dropping

Ever since I’ve downloaded the Entrecard toolbar, dropping entrecards on sites has never been easier. It’s more convenient to surf around the different websites with the Firefox add-on installed, just like Stumbled Upon.

I loved to surf around for new blog contents and blog designs. Usually I will stop longer at a blog if I find the blog content much more personal and have a pleasant design. I personally do not like blogs that are too commercialised, overwhelmed with ads and paid reviews. My main aim of dropping cards and reading blogs is to make new friends from all over the world, hoping to share different life experiences.

Do you have an Entrecard widget installed too?

October Updates

We are finally moving towards the end of 2008. Yes, it’s October now but it’s hard to picture clear blue sky in the next couple of months. I guess by now, everyone can start to smell the air of the impending recession. These two months have never been good for everyone and for me as well.

1. Electricity bill rising. Water bills will be next i think.

2. Phone bill rising. (Think must use MSN or VoIP phone more)

3. Transportation fees increases. (Walk more? No way unless i start work at 4pm)

4. Newspapers price increase. (I started to rely more on tv news and online news now)

4. My favourite chinese titbits got affected by Melamine.

5. Banks going bankrupt or merged. (Of course this affects me –> greatly)

6. Me getting sick on and off. (Can’t be help and yes, this does affects my work performance to some extend)

Everything seems to change all around me except my job responsibilities and salary.

Good days

Yesterday was one of the rare good days for me — almost free of nausea and vomiting. It’s a day which i finally got to eat harmlessly in a public food court with ease, and to shop an hour in Ang Mo Kio hub without having to stop and rest. I missed those good old days in the past where I could shop and eat non-stop. At this time, i should have been in Bangkok, shopping cheerfully with my two close friends.

Mum-in-law was so kind to make tom tum soup for me for lunch, this satisfied my cravings for spicy foods every meal, and in return, i actually managed to eat more than my usual amount in the few months. *Satisfied*

I’ve lost 3 kg for the past 2 months, more than when i used to go on diet. What an irony. I think it’s also time i try to gain some weight.

I will always cherish the good days which i might have once in a while.

Byebye BBK

Due to unforeseeable circumstances, we have to cancel our Bangkok trip this weekend. It’s so pretty sad but what to do, some things cannot be predicted. The 6 of us took months to prepare for this trip and was full of enthusiasm till so many things happened over the last two months. Now, only 2 of the group managed to proceed with the plan.

Hope we will have more travel opportunities in the future.

Year 08/09 semester 2

It’s the beginning of the new semester. Dragged myself to bed at 11pm yesterday despite having taken naps in the afternoon. Set two alarms to wake me up at 2 different time intervals in case I forgot. Having the need to wake up at 530am on class days is no joke for me. Why so early?

1. Scared my MS strike at the wrong time. Need time to settle it in.

2. Scared couldn’t get seats on bus/trains. Simply could not stand on long journeys.

3. Scared late for class.

Time has come a point where my endurance has been stretched. What happen to my passion and interest all of a sudden?
