New Laptop!!!

YIPPEE!! I was given a laptop by my company...it's an IBM one.. my fav brand.. gosh.. 1.7ghz, combo drive, 512mb RAM.. i dono why im so happy also.. with a laptop, i now have to carry it whenever i travel, whereas in the past, i can jus say "oops you didnt give me a laptop so dont expect me to work when im travelling". my colleague rightly said that it's a status thing la.. when u get a laptop, it's like u reached a certain level.. and yeah.. i guess that's why im happy.. and of cos it being an IBM jus adds to the jubilation.. muhahahaha

here's a pic of it while im working on the bed with my own ibm at the back... they look damn similar

My Own Private Lift!!

After months of noise and dust, we finally have lifts on every floor... YIPEE!

Now i dont have to lug my luggage up and down 4 floors... or carry my bike up and down 4 floors!!!! that's a workout in itself...

the lift's soooo near my house that any closer it would be counted as a room in my house... muhahaha

here's how close it is to my house

Nerd, Geek or Dork???

Are you a nerd geek or simply a dork?? take this test to find out..

i think it's not very accurate.. it's says im a pure nerd... how can that be?? im so cool and cute...

" You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.

The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful. "

Army Half Marathon

I'll be running the 6km fun run tmr at the Sheares Bridge Run/Army Half Marathon... i actually trained for the 21km AHM during my army days until i fractured my ankle.. which was quite sad cos i was kinda looking forward to running it... yeah i was pretty crazy then..

but well, after a haircut and a facial today to prepare for the run, i went down to safra to register for it...gosh, at S$8, the shirt is so chio lor and it's made of the same material (feels like la) as the Dri-Fit in nike shirts which they charge a bomb for...

so nice right...



i hope i dun die halfway.. hmm.. no, i prob wont die la.. hope i dont appear too shacked in front of the other runners...

Stoopig Sony earphones

bleah.. got this pair of Sony Ex-71 when i got my new ipod a couple of months back.. but cos of its rubbery material, many sections of it got torned.. sianz... here's a pic of the sorry state it has become..


my dear fren Aaron, offered to sell me his brand new Bang and Olufsen earphones which he got for his bday for S$160.. quite ex leh...




so i went to SPUG (no need hyperlink la hor) and asked... a couple of brands came up.. shure, audio-technia, etymotic.. all cost freaking more than a bomb lor..

but then someone found this lobang which gets us shure in-ear earphones quite cheaply.. so thus, we have an MO (= Mass Order, geekspeak for ordering a large quantity of geeky items in order to secure a discount to have more money in future to procure more geeky stuff)

here's a pic of what im getting.. i cant wait...

Red Bomb

i got a red bomb from my primary sch fren a few weeks ago. bleah.. sianz... it was a dumb way that i bumped into him abt a year ago and then he got my hp.

apparently, audrey and i were walking along Orchard when we saw this gal we looked super duper like our uni frend, but jus a fatter version.. then we realised it might be her twin sister whom we have heard abt. so i was eyeing her when the guy she was with jus yelled " XX!!!(replace XX with my chinese name)" . I was like hey!!! oh wow.. such a coincidence hor.. wah.. her sister is our uni fren.. blah blah..

and now he invited me to their wedding...

suntec ballroom 3, next week..

i asked my dear frens in SPUG how much ang bao to give... seems like it's S$80 - S$100.... no prizes for guessing how much im gg to give eh..

i was told some sec 1 and 2 frens would be there...gosh... so so so long ago.. almost 10 years never see them liaoz leh..

i wonder what i'm going to wear... my blue suit or my black suit

Week of Buffets II

8 Sept finally came. i went to the gym in the morning in preparation of the sinful gorging we would have in the afternoon.

the lunch was booked for 5.. for the ple in the office who werent travelling. S couldnt go cos she had to make an overseas call. so H went.

Sashimi came hard and fast.. salmon, tuna, sotong, yellow tail, salmon belly, snapper..so much sashimi, so little stomach space.. then there was tempura, soba, japanse curry, more tempura..

in between the whacking and gorging and stuffing, H announced that he was leaving the company. it wasnt exactly new news cos we all kind new but jus not official... now that he announced liao then can talk abt it openly lor... i was kinda sad he was leaving cos he really really taught me a lot when i joined the company and the times we went to hong kong and bangkok on assignment were so fun.

*ok the last line sounded gay but i dun care*

back to the more important thingy...we jus whacked and whacked lor..haha.. but when it came to pay, H whipped out the company credit card and said " i made an announcement today, so this is technically an official lunch. so can claim".

WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i saved S$35!! hahahahahhha kio dio!!!

now we all wonder wat S would say.. cos she does the accounts and she'll certainly not be very happy that we claimed that lunch n she didnt go..

muhahahahhahaha

so great to leave on a bang like this (at least it was a bang for me). like ORD mood in army like that.

Week of Buffets I

My colleagues A and M were in a craving for some jap food and i suggested this highly recommended jap restaurant, Ioki in Miramar Hotel. i never went there before but i heard it's quite good and you have to book 1 mth in advance to book for dinner. so we decided to go for lunch instead. we booked 8 sept.

but on 7 sept, we felt hungry and quite sian at work. they asked me for a suggestion. i said how abt dim sum... their eyes lit up!! haha. bunch of greedy shits.. but where to find a lunch buffet for dim sum.. lo and behold.. i remembered my classmates and i went to this miramar restaurant (not to be mistaken with the jap one).. S$10+++ pax nia.. cheap cheap gam jia jui...

and so we went, with full knowledge that we were going to do some serious sashimi and tempura whacking thw folliwng day...

, ha gaw, beancurd skin roll, char siew bao, pheonix claw, wantons, and more wantons, beancurd skin roll, ha gaw, siew mais and more prawn paste chicken... gosh, we were seriously filled.. but wait, there was dessert.. mango pudding and watermelon sago.. choices choices..

i went for both.

at the back of my mind, i knew i had to go gym the next morning...

Gym-ing

after that aaron's mum, who has probably never seen me for 20 years, said i was fat, i just felt so... sian... (for lack of a better word).

i decided to be serious this time and get down to some gym-ing and toning and some semblence of a healthy lifestyle. And since i work such horrendous hours, i decided a good time would be to go to the gym early in the morning before going to work.

so there i went, for the last 2 weeks, i was in the gym by 7am on tuesdays and thursdays.. hitting the threadmill, then weights, then threadmill again and crunches..i duno if i lost any weight, since i dont have a weighing machine at home. but i do feel a little ligher. Maybe it's jus pyschological.. and well, whatever works eh...

harlow everyone

it's been a long time since i posted liao.. and i realised that there're more than just four people who know of my blog...

HARLOW EVERYONE WHO'S READING.. *WAVE*

i'll be careful what i say from now...
