Death Note Marathon
Death Note Marathon
On Fri, before the movie marathon, still managed to squeeze in a session of body pump. Haa... Fun leh. Haa....
Next is the Death Note Marathon at PS GV from 9.30pm to 2.40am.
The movies are great especially when both are watched back to back. It started of with Light found a notebook which happen to be a Death Note book. So who ever got hold possession of the book can write any name in the book and that person will die of heart attack within 40 secs. Every book comes with a death god, but then he does nothing. So Light goes around being the "justice" guy killing every criminal that escape through the law. He got so into it that he started killing everyone that knows his secret as well. The owner of the book can also determine how the person will die and when he will die by writing in the book as well. Pretty cool huh? So the police trying to find the cause of the death and got a master detective L to solve the crime. L being very smart and able to pinpoint who he thinks is the killer. The whole story jz becomes a game of Light and L trying to outdo each other. So in the end guess who won? Hmm.... go and watch the movie.
On Sat, went for body combat class and I went shocked when the instructor said "Welcome to the advance class". Haa.... I almost went crazy. Haa... the class was fun and packed with little breaks in between. have to admit that I done pretty well today. Haa....
Met up with Dan and Sk for dinner at Happy Pay Steamboat. Hmm.. the food there surprising was really good and had a good meal. We also chatted abt anything under the sun. Haa....
2molo is New Year's Eve. Hmm.... So what are my new year resolutions? M I going to have one? Haa....

Results are out and guess what?
I got the best results so far in my studies. Well I sort of expected the results also lah. Haa.... Although it came a bit too late but still late better than never. Haa.... So happy right now! This will give me the extra boost for next year studies! Haa... Come on! IT'S TIME TO PARTY!
Hmm.... jz heard that a used to be a fren of mine is being asked to leave and had to look for another job. (Erhh... Dunno he is lying a not, and hope that it is not true) This does not sound good at all. Wonder what had happen to him during work. Well I mean he is serious in his work but then it might be his character and attitude towards his work that caused him his job. Sigh... Hope that he can move on fast and find another job then. Advice to him: Dun think too far, jz do whatever you like or interested in.
Yesterday got the chance to drive in my cousin's "new" car, which is a Fiat, 2.5 litre car. Hmm... Siao? Y get such a powerful car? I was so stressful as it is a big car and I had not get used to it plus a lot for ppl in the car and it was raining. All complaining that I drove too slow and braking too sudden. Haa... Come on le, give me a break la! First time behind the wheel of the car leh, need sometime to get used to it mah. Jz a small press on the accelerator, the speed will increase like a rocket. Hmm... I think I am a much better passenger than a driver huh. So next time I am to get a car, it will jz be a simple car to get me from point A to point B.
2006 will be over by this weekend. It seems only yesterday when I was at Marina Bay squeezing with other people trying to look at fireworks. Haa... Time really flies! Some plans are firmed up on NYE and hope that a lot of ppl can join us!
Well will be going down to the gym later on and follow by back to back movies of Death Note 1 and 2! Haa.... looking forward towards it! Will give the review soon! I think I had been gyming to much and had been aching for the whole week. Haa...
A very HAPPY Polarbear

Funniest and Crappiest Movie of the Year!
Lucky Polarbear won a pair of tickets to the preview of the movie "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan."
The movie is abt this guy named Borat, a journalist from Kazakhstan is on a mission to America to learn their cultures and habits and bring it back in the form of a documentary. Overall the movie is crude, funny, brainless with lots of lewed jokes on the guys / gays as well. Luckily I did not had to spend $$ on the movie as I will be cursing and swearing after watching it. Since it is free, I truly enjoyed the movie and had a lot of time laughing and laughing and laughing. In fact the whole cinema laughed when he spoke the first sentence. Haa... So I will give the movie 4.5 stars out of 5 for entertainment and if you are looking for a brainless to laugh out and relax. If not, dun bother to watch the movie if you cannot take the silly and sexist jokes.
It has been raining for the whole day and hope that there will not be any major floods again here. Bought a xmas present for LLT since she kept complaining I did not give her one. Haa.... It is a small gift that I liked and the message on it was meaningful, I hope. So hope that everytime we meet we will remember the msg on the snowball ok? Hee...
A new year is coming, better start to think if some new year resolutions for next year. Haa... Got to look for a place for countdown as well. Haa....

Christmas Day. OSCAR 7th months old alr.
Christmas day is here and I can sleep until I wanna to wake up! Haa....
Today is a day to relax and rot at home. In the morning, went to bought a present for OSCAR. He got a lot of things or should I say presents. Haa... He got a new bed, new dog shoes, a frisbee and a new water bottle. He is still getting used to the new shoes. He looked so funny when he is walking in his shoes. Haa.... My neighbour even got OSCAR a present. So good! He got new tibits to eat alr. Haa... So after he got the present, he barked even louder when he saw them, like saying "Hey Thanks for the present!" Haa....
2molo going back to work alr and my RO is going back to work 2molo. Hope I can meet up with him and he can do some briefing to me. Haa....

Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas to all!
Christmas is here again. This time, it is a long weekend as Christmas falls on Monday. Haa.... So it is time to relax and enjoy the holidays. For me, after birthday mood, comes Christmas mood. Means no extra present, less fun. Haa....
Friday, started off with work. No one in office so it is very quiet. Haa... After which, attended a wedding dinner, the 4th one and the last one this month. Next joined in a grp of frens at St James Power Station, where 9 clubs are in 1. Nice place. Not all clubs I like. Out of 9 clubs, sad to say I only liked 2 of them. So to say, dun think I will be going to that place frequently though. The jazz club, Bellini and Movida, the world music club was nice. The place was damned crowded with a lot of uncles and aunties there. Cannot believe that. Haa....
Saturday, also marks the first day of my PF Gym Membership. However before that met up with HC and LC for lunch cos LC jioed us for lunch. Haa.... It is wonderful that from strangers, we turned into frens among the mentors. It is great to have formed this friendship with them. Hope that no matter where we are, our friendship will continue forever ok! Thks LC for the lunch. It was great.
Gym was next and met up with LLT and went to the Body Combat class. Haa.... Never never go with a full stomach. Haa.... It was fun and the class was full of energtic people. Haa.... I need to go and read up on the gym and fitness tips to work on my different muscles. Hmm..... So what do I need to work on leh? Hmm...... Weighed myself before the class, think I will need to keep track of it as well. Haa.... Not going to post it here though.
After gym, since both of us got no program, decided to watch a movie. This time the movie is "Charlotte's Web". This movie is between a piglet, a girl and a group of barn animals. Wilbur is the pet piglet of a young girl named Fern Arable. Unfortunately, when he grows into an adult pig, Fern is forced to take him to the Zuckerman farm, where he will be prepared as dinner in due time. Charlotte A. Cavatica, a spider, lives in the space above Wilbur's sty in the Zuckermans' barn; she befriends Wilbur and decides to help prevent him from being eaten. With the help of the other barn animals, including a rat named Templeton, she convinces the Zuckerman family that Wilbur is actually quite special, by spelling out such descriptions as "Some Pig" in her web.
The final word the was spinned was good. I must always remember that word. I felt a bit sad from the movie cos it also reminds me a lot of things going on in my life. So I must bearned to be humble and look things in the simple side. Sometimes by thinking simple, it might jz solve all the problems.
Sunday, xmas eve started off with going to True Yoga, or to say to accompany the gals to go. After which went to Stree Jazz class. It was fun and get to learn how to dance. Well go for it every week if can. Haa... The instructor taught us the grooves and the moves of the song "My Love" from Justin Timberlake. Check the moves int he video. Hmm... I got to master the cool moves leh. Haa....
Next. went to meet up with HW. It is great to finally met up with him, especially he had been so bz and we dun have a chance to meet up. Thks for the present. Haa... Even though it is belated. We watched 2 movies. Yes! 2 back to back movies! Haa....
The first movie is The Curse of the Golden Flowers. It is a chinese epic with great cast, great acting (except Jay Chou), great sets, in fact everything was great, only to be let down by a shallow story. It would be great if it coulod go into greater details. Haa.... Still I will give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
The next movie is a foreign movie called 20 Days and a Rainy Night. Hmm... it is quite a clueless show where jz plain sex and story telling. Haa... Not really impressed by the movie though. I will give it 2 stars out of 5.
This year I got the following birthday and xmas presents:
1. A pair of jeans, Thks dad, mum and sis.
2. A penguin water dispenser, Thks all mentors and mentees who chipped in.
3. A wallet, Thks Dan and SK.
4. A wallet and a key pouch (Yes the one I am using now),Thks LLT.
5. A bottle of perfume, Thks Pearlina.
6. A waterproof jacket, Thks HW. (I like it cos I choose it myself. Haa....)
Really thank for all the presents. They are all jz great presents, even though they are 2 in 1 presents. Haa...

Today is my 27th BIRTHDAY!
Yes I am officially getting old. Haa.... Now in the late 20s. Hmm.... Now getting old is one thing, but there is still a lot of things that I need to do before I reach the 30s ok. Haa..... So each year celebrations are with the same group of ppl, I am actually happy enough if people actually remember and send me a simple happy birthday msg can alr. Haa.... Still glad that people still remember my birthday. Hee.... ....
Yesterday met up with my grp of best frens, less one bz with work :( SK and Dan really happy that you still remember it. Haa... Nice present, which is a wallet. Haa... Guess that my current wallet is really CMI alr rite. Nice beautiful wallet. Thks for getting it after 3 hrs of shopping. Haa... Went to this place called "Carnivores" to eat. This place only served nothing but all types of meat from chicken to pork to lamb and beef. It was great although dun really like some of the meat. The beef was nicely cooked or should I say half cooked which is my fav! The next food that I luved is the grilled pineapple. I totally luved that and it is the only reason y i would return to eat again. Haa.... It is sweet and juicy, really nice. Even SK who dun wanna to eat it, after trying it he also got hooked on it. Haa.... After which, I brought them to "Loof" to chill out and talk. Thk god it was not raining so we can sit in the open air. The place is great for gathering and chill out. Luved the place! Opened a bottle of my fav Moet and Chandon champagne to celebrate my birthday! Haa... ... Thks guys! It has been a long time since we got the chance to sit and talk cock. Haa... It was fun and again Thks for everything. (Took some pics will post them shortly).
Managed to reach home b4 midnight and guess what I saw a cake in the fridge. Haa.... After the clock shows midnight, the whole family including Oscar was there to sing Happy Birthday to me and to cut the mango cake. Haa.... Before cutting the cake, made a general wish, blow candles and eat the cake. Haa... Oscar cannot eat so he got a cube of mango. Haa..... Next wishes started coming by sms. Thks to all those that wishes me, as usual HW u r the 1st one to sms! I will kill u if u r not the 1st one ok! So when going to get the jacket? Haa.....
This is the 1st time in 7 years that I need to work on my birthday. Haa.... In the past, I usually would have taken leave. This year, although I got leave to take, I did not and still got to work. Haa.... After a day of slacking, I am all ready for another round of celebration with LLT. We went to this place called "Tapas Tree" @ Clarke Quay for dinner. It serves Spanish food which was refreshing. Haa... we saw her fren there who introduced to her that place. Haa... Small world. The food all have weird names, actually Spanish names. The food was quite interesting especially all the garlic in the dishes, they are damned good that I eat them on their own. Haa.... Even though the food are soaked in olive oil, the food does not taste oily at all. Haa... Overall it is a great place to eat and got free entertainment some more by the "singing amigos". Haa.... We actually went there prepared to wash plates as we "dun have" the $$ to pay for the food. Haa... So guess what LLT gave me? Hmm... she mentioned that she thought that I will not like my present. Haa.... I wonder y? It turned out that she bought me a wallet and a key punch set. Haa.... This morning, I was jz telling her that I got a wallet as a present. Haa.... The same ting happened on her birthday as well when her frens gave her a watch and yet I also bought a watch for her as well. Haa.... So I was "forced" to change wallets and my key pouch into the new ones. Haa... Seem like I have to many cards in my wallet to make it as fat as I am. Haa....
Next, we moved off to watch "Night At The Museum" by Ben Stiller. It is abt a dad named Larry who thinks that he had a string of bad luck and thinks he's destined for something big. However in desperate of a job to make his son happy, he accepts what appears to be a menial job as a graveyard-shift security guard at a museum of natural history. After sunset, extraordinary things begin to occur: Mayans, Roman Gladiators, and cowboys emerge from their diorama to wage epic battles; in his quest for fire, a Neanderthal burns down his own display; Attila the Hun pillages his neighboring exhibits, and a T-Rex who likes to play fetch. Seems that the whole place comes to life. There is also a lot of special appearances by other stars, do keep a look out for them. It is a good comedy with some new and old jokes. A lot of special effects and it does makes a visit to the museum more interesting. Haa... Overall I gave the movie 3.5 stars out of 5. Dumb Dumb want Gum Gum! Haa.... I luved that statue. maybe I should start looking for one!
After which, it marks the end of the celebration and my birthday. The day seem to fly past so fast. So now I am officially 27. Still not old yet. Haa... But then I still got a lot of things that I want to do before I reach 30. Thks again to those ppl that remembered and celebrated my birthday with me. I will make sure all gifts will be put to good use. Most impt is to know that I had frens that still remember me as a fren and hopefully a good one. It really jz warms my heart up. Hee....
A very happy delighted excited... .... Polarbear

Rain rain go away!
Well coming into Nov and Dec, it will turn into the rainy season. This means more rain and less sun. :( For the past few weeks, there is sure to be a bit of rain here and there everyday. However, for the past 24 hrs, it had been raining non stop. Well the good thing is, it is very good to sleep in the night. The bad thing is have to carry an umbrella everywhere I go. Haa.... Well this morning finally stopped raining, and the sun is coming out. Nice change for a while. Haa....
Good news that most of the youths passed their N lvls and will be moving on to Sec 5. I am really happy for them! Hope that they will really work hard from now on and do their best in their O lvls.
Really looking forward to the start of my gym membership this coming Sat. Haa.... Going to had all the fun and not going to constraint by free passes any more and can go anytime I like. Haa... Going to try out all the classes, like Street Jazz, Step, Yoga (Yes, LLT for you!) etc. I hope make it a point to go down minimum 2 times a week and aims to lose 10 -20 kg in a year. Haa....
A few days ago, I had received an email from someone used to be special in my life and I am shocked when I saw the email. A lot was written in that email, not going into details here, but then the email had stated her stand pretty clearly to me as well. Hmm... as I was wondering if I should reply that email a not, I decided to do so and replied back with what I had thought abt it as well. Hmm.... What I got to say is there is no one at fault, as two of us are at fault at some point, dun be to harsh on yourself ok.
I hope that this week is going to be an exciting week for me especially it is going to be a special week for me. But seems like until now, there is still not much news from my frens yet. Hmm.... .... most of them bz with their work and seems to forget abt it. Hmm..... 1 more day to go ... Better start thinking abt my wish.

Weekend: Surprise and Wedding Dinner
Weekend started with a coffee bean breakfast.... Haa.... Finally not a mac breakfast but something I luved as well. Haa.... It was relaxing to jz sit there, eat breakfast, read papers and talk cock. Haa.... After which went of to PF Suntec for a tour. The place looks great, big and not crowded. the changing room also looked good and clean. So far so good. The membership will start next Saturday, jz wondering what I am going to do there. Haa....
Did some shopping after that and found out a place that sells DC comics clothes. Hmm... Too bad cannot find my size. Haa.... LLT bought a superman t shirt though. Haa.... For the gym session coming up, we bought new water bottles as well. I want to get a set of gym gear but could not get any. Sigh....
After which, on my way to meet up with the SP and rest, bad news came. The place we supposed to use for the meeting has no electricity and we had to find a place fast. Hmm.... Confusion sets in and things happen. Before I know it, we landed in a dance school named the O school. Haa.... It is a place where the youths learnt and do their hip hop classes. Quite a good place though.
After the meeting ending, a bit disappointed with how the meeting was conducted, went over to Bugis Junction, to meet up with Siti and Adam. Siti recently jz got her pay check and decided to treat us mentors ice cream. Haa.... kept teasing her to ask her how much is her budget and if I can eat this or that. Haa.... Having so much fun until she say I am going crazy. Haa.... Yah I think so too. Then I went off to the loo, came back and saw a "present" on my seat. Hmm.... decided to act blur and asked how come a xmas present is sitting on my seat, since before that I ask HC and she told me it was some xmas present for her frens. It turned out that it was my BIRTHDAY cum XMAS present. Thks gals and guys. Really appreciated it from the bottom of my heart. Glad that you all bought something not expensive but useful to me. I really luved it and will palce it in my office ok! Haa... They got me a mini penguin water dispenser. Haa... (Will post the pictures later) Thks for the wonderful and beautiful handmade Polarbear card by Winnie. U know what, this really touches me! Thks for everything.
After which, with a BIG present in my hand. I went off to met up with my long time fren whom I had not met for a long time as well. Had a nice time chatting with you. Haa...
Sunday morning supposed to went blading, however was cancelled due to bad weather. Instead, met up for a movie instead. Before that went to bought a ring for myself jz for the fun of it and I got one for my pinky finger. Haa... Tks for the "xmas" present leh, LLT. Haa...
After which managed to reached in time and watched Eragon, second row from the screen. Sorry my fault for not booking the tickets in advance. The movie was abt Eragon picked up a dragon egg and it hatched. Together with the dragon they went on to know each other better and to fight of the bad guys. It seems that the dragon egg chooses the owner. Which means it can go unhatched for a million years until it reaches the owner of the dragon. how cool is that! Hmm... The CGI for the dragon was great. I luved it. However the story is a bit too predictable and except for Jeremy Irons who acted as the mentor, then rest of the cast seemed pretty raw in their acting. For the dragon, I will give 4.5 stars out of 5, without the dragon, the movie is only 3 stars out of 5. Jz found out that the lead actor Ed Speelers has the same birthday as me. Haa... So can I be a dragon rider as well? Haa.... Must lose some weight 1st, if not the dragon cannot fly. Haa....
After which, went off to the main event of the day, Ozy and Jolie's wedding. I was the emcee and I was stressed out as I was still coughing like crazy. Before that, thks LLT for sending me to the hotel cos I dun have umbrella and it was raining like mad outside. Haa... The event went though smoothly, phew!. Saw the same few common faces again and going to see them for this Friday's wedding again. Sigh. Had a minor screw up on the stage, Haa..... but I am human after all.
I was tired out from all the activities from the weekend. Hope that next week is going to be an interesting week. Haa....

My First Team Building Event
Today afternoon attended my company team building event, Lion Trail and dinner at Jewel Box. Haa..... It was quite boring as first as I do not know anyone and they all seem to know each other and stayed in their same little grp. First, we did the Lion Trail with a knowledgeable guide, went to a few interesting places, like the Changi Chapel where they record all the military happenings during World War II, interesting place, I would want to go back if I had the time, to know more abt the history. Next we got to boat quay area, all Singapore River history came out. Last place is the most interesting place, The new Supreme courts, Yes! The spaceship building. I am quite impressed with the design of the interior and the courts. Now of course they are all computerised and looks very high tech. Haa.... maybe next time can go there and listen to some court cases. Haa.....
After which, we were being sent to Jewel Box, on top of Mount Faber. It is a good place to be there and be romantic. It is a great experience to be there and to have dinner with a group of ppl that I did not know. Haa.... There happened to have "snow" falling from the sky every night. Sigh... then it turn out to be fake snow which is foam. Haa..... Really disappointing. Cable car ride is next. It had been a long time since I took a ride in the cable car, in order to make full use of the free ticket, I took the ride to Sentosa and back to HarbourFront. Haa.....
Overall it is an interesting day, although a bit boring. Haa....

Time to help myself and others
Today met up with a group of ex colleagues for dinner and boy was fun catching up with each other. After which, went to meet LLT and fren, need to help to give some advice to her fren and hope that everything will be all right. I am not a love guru but then hope that my comments can help u to see the other side of the fence. LLT, thks for the bottle of the cough mixture this morning. U better take care as well and drink more water ok. If not I will send u an sms every hour to remind you to drink water. Haa.....
It seems that when other people need help, I will try my best to be there to help them out. However, when I need help, where are my close frens that are supposed to be there when I am feeling down and needed some help? Hmm.... ....
This come to a point of my "ex close fren", nothing big happen but now he jz treat me like a piece of tissue, when he needs it jz reach into his pocket and will find it. When he finished using me, he jz throw me away. I am so disappointed that how things turned out to be. I made so much effort to start and maintain the friendship yet it was destroyed by him and his lies, tons and tons of lies! He knew that I hated ppl lying yet he did that to me again and again! The thing is after this, he dun even take the effort to find out what is wrong and how come I stopped contacting him alr. This means that he dun even cared abt this friendship in the 1st place! Since then, I decided not to treat him as a fren any more. To me anyone who is not my fren are jz invisible to me. So am I the bad guy here? Hmm.... I dun think so! Going to see him soon at a causal outing, dun really wanna to attend but then still have to go for the sake of others. Sigh... ....
Weekend coming and got another wedding to attend this Sunday with me as the emcee. Hope everything will turn out fine.
6 more days to ... ...
10 more days to ... ....
Till then... ... Take care

Weekend full of weddings and birthday celebrations!
Fri is that day that I had spent a week in my "new" workplace. Getting boring as I am still "laptop-less", hated it, hope that it will come soon, really soon! Friday, is also the day that need to celebrate LLT's birthday, have to pre-booked this date like "years" ago. Haa....Haa..... Anyway bought the present long ago but then in the morning then she mentioned that her frens bought something similar for her. Hmm...... then I was like.... .... Neverthless, jz gave her the present and hope that she really like it. Haa......
Went to a new place for dinner, Giraffe, a restaurant in the middle of the park, nice looking chill out place! The place definitely did not disappoint us! The place is great, food great, service great, price is cheap as well! Started off with clam chowder soup and salad, next with Thai spring rolls (Fantastic!). Main course: Tandoori Chicken and Ribeye. Plates are big but food portion smaller. Haa..... It is a great place to chill out, I will bring ppl there as often as I can!
What is a birthday without birthday cake, so next went to NYDC for some OREO's cheesecake! Then followed by a 4 hr marathon of KTV session. Had the most fun even though only the 2 of us singing. Most amazing, still got our voices after that. Haa...... Happy birthday and enjoy ur youth and may all ur wishes come true!
Weekend also marked the start of the wedding dinners that I have to attend, 4 in total this mth! Today and tomorrow's dinner are my batch boys, this means I got to eat with the same group of ppl for 2 nights. Min 18 course dinner coming up and lots of catch up to do! Great! Due to some other ppl's reason, we are almost late for the first dinner! Haa....
After Sat's dinner, met up with LLT and fren and watched "The Holiday", by Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet. After going to the wrong cinema and rushing to the correct one, barely make it when the show start, I sat comfortably to enjoy the romantic comedy. The movie is a great change as I had not watched a romantic comedy for a very long time. It is about the 2 female leads get to exchanged their houses for 2 weeks and get to meet different people and get into a whole new different relationship with their new partners. So what does this mean? To me, it means that love can be anywhere and anytime. So when it comes jz go ahead and embrace it, dun shun it! I also want to do something like room exchange so that maybe I can meet someone new as well. Haa..... I also loved the BRITISH accent in the movie! I will give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
After the movie, went to coffee club with LLT to drink my fav morning dew tea and we chatted until 6am in the morning before going home in a cab. To her disappointment (I think), we had to forgo the blading session that was planned. Discussed a lot and had lots of fun chatting with you!
Sunday after jz 2 hrs of sleep, was "forced" to go KTV again with LLT and her frens. Ok lah, it is kapo on my part as well. Haa.... Did not sing a lot as friday 's session still very fresh in my mind. Haa... After which attended the second dinner, this was a lot of fun as I had a lot of fun catching up with a the ppl that I had not seen for very long time. A lot of dinners will be waiting for me to be arranged! Looking forward to talk to you all again! Haa....
Due to lack of sleep, I need to sleep a lot during the week then. I am going to sleep now! Till then... Take care

Finally out for relaxation... ...
For the past days, I have been jz going to work, go back home and back to work the next day. So boring. Today supposed to get my laptop, so went to collect it, then informed me that my access card which is required to use the laptop is not ready yet. Sigh.... so much for my short lived happiness. Still have to go laptop-less for the next few days. Sigh...
Since I led a boring life, got LLT to watch a movie with me, still have to convince that I am not sick first. Haa.... So we went to watch the "The Free Will", a german movie. It is a movie from the prospective from a rapist and how he dealt with life after he was released from prison. It is a very long movie, ard 3 hrs. Well german movies are like that, dun have much dialogue as well. It is an interesting movie as it is from a different point of view. I give it 3.5 stars out of 5.
Had been coughing and sneezing for the past few days. Hope that it will go away soon, had been drinking gallons and gallons of water since. Haa....Haa....

Tons of names and faces to remember today!
Something funny happened today in office. I did not have lunch today as SOMEONE asked me to be on diet! Haa.... Actually me lazy to go for lunch alone lah. At ard 3pm, I started to get hungry and wanted to go to the canteen to grab a cup of hot tea. I need some hot drink as I am still sneezing away. When I got to the lobby, out of all ppl, my boss was standing right in front of me and he then asked me how am I? Then he decided to introduce ppl, mainly impt ppl that could helped out in my work, to me. From there onwards, I met up with tons and tons of ppl and got tons and tons of names to remember. Haa.... If you all know me, should know that I am very bad with names and faces. Haa... Me going to have a hard time to remember all the names and faces. Haa.... Literally walked thru the building meeting ppl.

Down with fever! Wat a way to start a week!
Yes I am down with fever after a long time after my last illness. Haa... I think I spent too much time in the sun and did not drink enough water to fall sick. Hmm... Even then before I totally succumbed to fever, I managed to go to SITEX 06 with LLT to get my printer finally and at a lower price and managed to buy other things like memory card for my new phone, and multi card reader and we managed to get out of the place before it get too crowded and we get squeezed to death. Hee....
Since we decided to drop my printer home 1st, LLT got to meet OSCAR again and it seems that even he did not meet LLT for 2 weeks, he still remember her and did not bark at her. He even rather play with her than me. Sad leh for me. Haa..... After which LLT go to meet frens for dinner while i decided to go home and face my illness and go to sleep. By the time my mum came back, she was shouting at me cos I was burning hot. She asked me to pop in some pills and use an ice bag on me. After slightly 12 hrs of sleep, I think I m well enough to go to work, not so feverish as well.
Poor LLT had to wake up slightly earlier to accompany on the train ride. Hee.... Today at office I did nothing again, no computer and had lunch alone. Sad. However, I did finish the book "Devil wears Prada" within the day. A new record set for finishing the book within a day! Haa.... After work, met up with HW who I am supposed to meet up with yesterday! he is on a shopping spree again while I bought a BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR SOMEONE! Haa.... Now crossing my fingers and hope that you will like the present! If you dun like then have to blame HW alr. Haa.... I want to buy a pair of leather shoes but did not managed to find a design that I like, maybe next time then. Hee....
OK I think I need to go and sleep now as my throat is still a bit funny and painful. I am now drinking gallons and gallons of water and hope that I need not go and see a doc for this. I definitely dun want to fall sick during this mth! Cos I dun want to miss out all the fun! Hee....
Till then....Take care
