Received a complaint wrt the post about my dentist, that the ending seemed a little psychotic, with all the drilling..blah. . This reader gave an example on how my post resembled one of Roald Dahl stories ( I took that as a compliment..btw)..
..~The story was about a woman who was accused of murdering the husband and the police were trying to find the murder weapon. The weapon was actually a huge leg of ham. So when the police came to her house to investigate, she cut up the leg of ham and offered to the policemen to go with their coffee. .. yucks. Pukez. ~
Chotto matte kudasai… mine wasn’t comparable to this story lo.. definitely not so gross and psychotic. It was about a simple admiration for my dentist since I was young coz he actually eliminated my fear of going to the dentist and also how his charismatic personality captivated me.. period.
Would like to thank that kind reader’s feedback though. Shows that she had read through what I’ve written very carefully and actually seriously processed what she had read by coming up with a somewhat similar (in her opinion) instance. Heh.
Sigh…enough crap about my crush. Keke.

Zhe san just smsed that she’s leaving on a jet plane…to China for 10 days!! With the school… fully paid for.. shit. Lucky gal. The perks of being a teacher. A secondary school sensei that is. Wonder primary school sensei will get the chance not.. hehe. Fingers crossed.! But hor.. come to think of it…with a bunch of rowdy pri kids in hand, quite hard to enjoy also. but if it’s FOC.. who cares! Count me in!! yay. ‘
A sensei-to-be.. already fantasizing.
Fantasizing can be unrealistic but is a source of motivation.. for me at least.
…Makes me more optimistic about the future… an all-natural anti-depressant! (-_-)zzz ( err…the closest emotion I can think of to express the relaxed look.. sleep=relaxing.
Another day is about to end.
Ashita wa mo moku yobi desu ne… hayaku ka. Weekend is near! Did I just post a blog about the weekend was just over???
That’s how fast the weeks go by. In the twinkle of an eye, the twitch of an eyelid, a bend of your thumb, a flick of your hair…
Going to end the day with tuition.. this time only 1 kid.. much more bearable though I’d rather spend the time watching Sing Idol Piano Auditions.

No Singapore Sale for me..
What time is it???
It’s time to save save save.
n.b: Tamemasu means save.. if I never remember wrongly. Must save would be tama nake reba narimasen. Think it’s wrong. Haha. There goes the money I’ve spent on nihongo. My tomodachis only gets disappointment when they ask me how to say stuff in Jap. “ eh…you advanced level leh.. you dunno?!” ya.. I really don’t! haha.. Toking about nihongo… think I really should bring out my notes and revise again. So wasted that I’ve gone to advanced level but now stopped taking lessons liao.. must start studying again if I want to retake my JLPT 3.. confirm fail. try try try..never say die!
The month of May was a month of spending.
Not too much on my own stuff..but more for other people and miscellaneous. Mothers’ day, tomodachi no tanjobi no purezento ne (takusan….), koibito no purezento, coloring my hair. many many dinners… totally overspent. Realized only when I was free at work then started making an expenditure list… got a shock.
Aiya… always tell myself will save since next month not many occasions for spending. But somehow, an occasion will arise.
Like….. I’ll come across this bag..the perfect one I’ve been looking for.. Which, after discount, still cost quite a bit. Not worth the money I tell myself…hmm. But it’s nice.. And on sale! Haha...oops.. hope to keep such instances to the minimum. Heh.
Yeah. Talking about bags.. I’m in search of a nice bag. I love to collect bags.. different bags to go with different outfits. My bag collection had been stagnant for a long time though. So sad. Never seen anything nice. And those nice ones that I like are way too ex. Expensive taste.. can’t help it. Hah.
I’m pretty particular about bags. Gotta suit your character most importantly and also fit your overall dressing. Colors should go with the color of your outfit but now it’s the trend to mismatch colors. But it takes skill to mismatch colors…stylishly.
Anyway, I should stop this baggy craze.. 1) no more space to store my bags liao…
and 2) to save myself from okasan’s nagging.. “how many shoulders do you have huh?? Buy so many bags…. Aiyo. Must save money ah.. gal…money not easy to earn (in mandarin)…”
Then when I banish some bags which I don’t use anymore, to the rubbish dump, she would pick it up and say pathetically, “ see la.. I see these bags so wasted to throw.. so no choice have to use your 2nd hand bags lor.” The same goes for my old specs frame (she would remake them into long sighted glasses..).. Go green!

Rainy Thoughts
Delayed Thoughts of Rainy April
A sea of colors
Spot a rainbow
Sad are the faces
Slow are the paces
More colors come along,
Soon after you’ll see
Their tears uncontrollable, endlessly
Rays dart through the tears
With no signs of fear
Soon, they conquered.
Effortlessly, Unbothered
Colors hid in unity
Do as infinity
The above was meant to rhyme
As words I cannot find
To complete this literary piece
Hands put together
Masterpiece

go bananas go!
Weekend is over!! again.. if you run a search through all my posts with keywords “weekend over” , “weekend passed by..”, think it’ll trigger super a lot of entries. It’s just so precious that we have to remind ourselves that although it’s here, but it’ll soon be gone. So. Don’t waste it. I wonder if you count sleeping my way through my last weekend a waste of my precious weekend. Hmm. Haha.
Yesterday’s weather was too irresistible. Perfect for a nap… correction. For many naps. I was in my pyjamas the whole day just packing my room and clearing stuff on my comp. Then when I got tired, I ate a banana and took a nap. Yess.. my okasan bought my favourite Del Monte bananassss.
I love bananas. Bananas taste so good with anything. Bananas dipped in choc.. banana milk… banana split ice cream….banana milkshake…banana smoothie… banana choc fudge cake (the one at secret recipe..yummylicious.)… banana muffin… Goreng pisang… banana walnut bread…..
Talking about food… just watched Over the Hedge on Saturday. It was O…O…k. apparently naz found it hilarious, just like Ice Age 2. I was practically emotionless through out the movie except for 1 or 2 parts which I thought was ok funny. And the parts I found funny naz thought they weren’t the funniest parts. (-_-ll)
Conclusion: I really do not know how to appreciate animations.
Naz kept gushing over how the facial expressions of the animations express emotions way better than human actors… which.. I totally disagree. They just look so cartooned.. Luckily, we shifted our topic of conversation to food before we could start our debate.. heh.
Sing idol’s standard seems lower this time round. Nothing, no one really impressive. Watching it just for entertainment value.

secretly admiring him...
Made an urgent visit to my dentist on Friday coz I had sufficient evidence to believe that my tooth filling had came off.
First, when I was eating bread, I spat out a small white piece of stone. Then 2 days later, when I was eating gummy bears, I found a small grey stone. Couldn’t be the gummy lor. Shortly after, I felt an aching pain in my teeth. Putting the 3 incidents together in chronological order, I felt the need to pay a visit to my cool and hansamu dentist. Originally I had booked an appointment in July but I can’t wait any longer liao.
The nurse told me I gotta wait for some time as I’m a walk-in customer and there were appointments every 15 min. Took my name down and wanted to trick me to go shop around and eat my dinner first before coming back. Told her I’ll wait.
I was prepared to wait for 1-2 hrs when I was called in just half an hour later. yay.!
Always feared going to the dentist till I met him when I was in primary 6. He would chat with me while cleaning my teeth and he would play some soft jazz music, humming and singing along occasionally. So cool.
There would always be a guitar and some music scores lying against the wall..yess.. he plays the guitar!! So musically inclined and talented. I like guys who can play the guitar. Usually they can sing well too. Mesmerizing. ..
I laid there.. waiting for the moment. How come he’s not doing it? Be patient.
Halfway through the polishing, he started singing along to the music! The moment I was waiting for…. I closed my eyes to enjoy this moment. Though his singing was soft, but it was very clear amidst all the drilling sounds of the equipment.

typing test
2 min to knock off… trying to test on how much I can type in these 2 min… apparently I can’t type very fast… but as I’ve gone for typing speed test in job agencies, I know at least that my typing speed is considered average though not fantastic. It’s not healthy to be able to type very fast coz it strains our fingers and tires our wrist. Therefore, we should all be slow and steady like the tortise which would ultimately win the race. Slow is good but not too slow. Do everything in moderate pace is the best solution for anyone. Anything extreme is bad for us…
ok..it’s 5 mins already…! I did OT of 3 min!

___Walking then...walking now and will be still walking___
~***THE BIG WALK 2006!!***~~
Sunday was health and fitness day which nearly didn’t come true. Naz and me were contemplating on going for the Big Walk coz we gotta wake up at like 5 plus and travel all the way to kallang.. After convincing ourselves that we need the exercise, we decided to go anyway.
It was quite fun for an experience but the crowd was scary. Haha.. but with prior experience in organizing big walks, the shuttle service was efficient and orderly. Good ne! saw lots of cute doggies there too which temporarily distracted me from the headache I had. By a quarter of the walk, my fever symptoms were almost gone liao.. initially did feel cold but after perspiring, it was all gone! Yay.
7.30am we started off and we finished the 10km route at about 10am… ! sugoi! Headed off to the food stalls to buy food and drinks and to collect our goodie bags after which we discovered a new way to go home from the stadium. Short and comfy bus + train ride. The last thing we want to do is to walk.
~~~*** THE DA VINCI CODE***~~~
Washed up at my place and caught some sleep before proceeding to town to catch Da Vinci Code with sharon san and zhe san and zhe san’s sis.
Enjoyed the movie coz I like Tom Hanks. Heh. And also the book. The pace of the book was already very fast and to make it into a 2 and a half hour movie, you can imagine how things were further sped up. Not bad overall.. though I thought the movie’s ending attempted to make the book less religiously controversial. Movies are a more powerful form of media afterall, with visual and sound effects. Hence, the try to make the message alittle more subtle.
After the movie, I felt super sleepy… maybe coz also the movie’s ending abit draggy. . nobody felt like having dinner and so we all headed home. Got Singapore idol on. Watched it and totally wasted my time.. those contestants are just trying to behave stupid to gain attention. Eeks. Daniel Og sucks as well. Think he should jus stick to radio-ing.
Slept at 10pm.. tired but with a sense of achievement on what I’ve accomplished
The Ring...
Another hectic weekend just zoomed passed. It was packed but enjoyable.
~~~Sometimes I wish human beings have limitless energy so that I won’t feel tired… but then again, I really enjoy sleeping. Hmm.. but then again, if we start off not knowing the feeling of tiredness at all, we wouldn’t get to appreciate the goodness of sleep. Since I already experienced the goodness of sleep, think I’ll be happy to carry on.
TGIF.. met up with babu, maria and ahmad at Marche for dinner. My belated birthday celebration actually. Had my share of satisfying calamari and also yucky mushroom n cheese French crepe.. where’s my crabmeat n bean sprouts crepe!!! They took it off the list………!!! Without informing me!!! I’m the consumer lor.. shouldn’t they consult me before taking it off the list…
The all-agreed bloody expensive rootbeer always tasted exceptionally good in Marche.. they better.
A pic of the kawaii ring from swatch which the gals gave me for a gift.. thank u! babu worried I might accidentally kill naz with the ring which looks quite hazardous actually . haha.
nicey nicey....
Saturday crept in with tuition as the 1st ‘programme’… my kids failed almost all subjects…chotto matte… don’t point your fingers at moi first.. so many questions I spotted and tested them and they still got it wrong. The questions gave them 5 lines to write their answer and they can be happy just writing 1 line aka 8 words. I really wakaranai. They knew the full answer when I asked them but maybe some unspeakable force is stopping them from writing more than 8 words. They looked somewhat remorseful but I strongly believe it will not last long.
The 2nd programme was way more exciting..luckily.. hate to see my weekends go down the drain…they’re precious time.
Naz supposed to pick me up at Queenstown MRT then we will go gillman village together. When I reached, he said he needed to use the toilet and passed me the car keys so that I can wait in the car first. He specifically instructed me to press the black button and only open the door after I hear a “tu-tu” sound indicating it’s ok to open the door. How hard can it be rite.. with my MP3 still plugged in, I pressed the black button and I saw the lights blinked and thought should be ok. Pulled open the door and the alarm sounded like noone’s biz. Shit lor.. luckily the alarm stopped after a while and this time, I switched off my mp3 and I repeatedly pressed the black button but no sound also.
Forget it. Naz was surprised to find me standing outside the car and he showed me how to do it. And believe it or not, there was a tu-tu sound. Doshite I tried like 5 times all no sound.?! No fate with the car la.
After this little drama, we proceeded to gillman village. It was place weizhen suggested and I was quite skeptical about it coz I’ve never heard it before. But she said it was a place really quiet n close to nature with nice ambience… we wasn’t disappointed. As we drove into a small ulu lane from the industrial parks, a row of restaurants unexpectedly came into sight. Turquoise Room was the place we were suppose to meet at. Nice place. Saw “long-lost” becca lam which was really nice and exchanged presents since her birthday was near also… food was unexpectedly oishii as well though their appetizers were slightly overpriced. Their pasta was good.
We crossed the road to Bali Villa for a drink after dinner. It was a really cosy place with a bali-décor concept. Dim lights, soothing music and drinks were ok I guess..since I don’t take alcohol… mocktails taste all the same to me. Good place to chill out and gather with a few friends, provided you have a car.

Eat-ING , Fatten-ING
Going Pasta Fresca tonight with fushi san.. heard a lot about the food there (actually only from fushi san..hmm.) so am going to try it tonight. Will do a food review later on. Shit! Forgot to bring my cam! So no nice pics to go with the review.. hope fushi san will bring his.. no no.. I’ll have to remind him.. no hoping….high chance of disappointment.~
Think my posts nowadays sound outdated. I type my posts in the office but cannot upload. So can only wait till I’m home. Hence, kindly ignore the time of posts to avoid confusion. Haha.
Suddenly remember this saying “ if you cannot convince them, confuse them”.. okie. nothing to do with what I’m talking about.
It’s Thursday!!! Moku youbi ne!! ashita wa yasumi ne!!! yay! Put your hands up in the air~ Let’s dance a little dance…. Everybody~ rock your body~
My Malaysian colleague’s last day training in Singapore. Haha.. my other 2 colleagues plus me, had been bombarding her with oishii food places in Singapore. She’s amazed at how much we love to eat… good food that is. The lengths we go to to look for oishii tabemono. Haha. And our knowledge of good food places… welcome to the world of fooda-holics…Singaporeans.
Most of my friends enjoy just chilling out with some good food and desserts. Coming up with ideas for our next dinner becomes a super important part of planning.
Chotto matte!
Food review coming up! Not pasta fresca.. but Ling Zhi Restaurant at Far East square opposite Mr TehTarik.
Was a treat from my colleagues and it was a mushroom steamboat buffet..dim sum dishes inclusive. Can choose 2 soup pots so we chose Tom Yum and Yam soup. As it was a vegetarian resutoran, we felt slightly less † sinful † while taking an extra helping of veg or mushrooms. Hehe. Plus point!
This is solely recommended for pple who loves vege. Definitely out for fushi san. In for my mum!
Full and sleepy now………. Gotta paint my eyelids with fake eyes @@… eyes open big enough just to see the current line I’m typing.
I stepped into home at 10.30pm last night after tuition, face blanked with fatigue. About to bathe when I heard my okasan shouting my name and to report to her right away. Can’t let me even bathe first, I was thinking. Entered into the room and she kept repeating : gal ah.. mama die liao..must go court… got registered mail.. quick quick..help me see what is it about…
I sighed dam loudly and looked abit irritated (ok.. quite irritated). Some court letter for her not submitting her income tax return for year 2005… must pay some fine of $150 if she doesn’t want to go to court. Abit stressed up recently over this kind of shit so I began to explain to her in a frustrated manner and my face showed the word: impatience.
I feel bad actually coz I know I should help her willingly since she doesn’t know English and handle such stuff.. but sometimes I’m just sian. Why not my lazing bro?!! He’s only 1 yr younger ma.. this kind of follow-ups I must do..while he just shake legs and stare at his konpyuta.
Always thought it was unfair.
It seems like he’s only involved with his own business. Family stuff, not within his scope of concern. Super baka.
Well, managed to settle the issue without having to pay anything and when I told my okasan, she was happy.
Guess since I’m the oldest and being an educated individual, I have to take charge. Looking on the positive side, I should feel flattered that I’m thought to be responsible and dependable. No good, more work for me!!!
Just don’t catch me in a bad mood lor. Haha.

What makes a processor>>
Really started the day on the wrong note today. warui warui warui.
Wanted to top up my farecard then realized I forgot my wallet. .. dam. Was still thinking of what to buy for breakfast. Now… No need to think at all.
While walking to the pantry, my sandals broke. Fyi, my office is taihen chiisai. My seat to the pantry is about 5 steps away. How can it forsake me like that?! Wait for my day to end at least ma. I hate shopping for shoes during lunch time coz very rush. I need time to buy shoes coz blisters love me. Lucky my colleague had extra shoes to lend me first. She has at least 5 pairs of extra shoes under her desk!
Anyway, kutsu o kai ni itte during lunchtime. As usual, sharon san gotta leave me early to rush her never ending, everlasting work. Already told her… ming tian de shi, liu dao ming tian zai zuo. Processing is never ending.. trust me… and.. my 4 month (.. though short but long enough for me liao.. thanx but no thanks. ) experience as a high class processor. If you gan jiong spider like me, eager to finish everything single thing in a day, you’ll suffer from quite serious side effects e.g:
***Beware of such symptoms. If found, tender without hesitation. Hazardous to your health.***
Wanted to top up my farecard then realized I forgot my wallet. .. dam. Was still thinking of what to buy for breakfast. Now… No need to think at all.
While walking to the pantry, my sandals broke. Fyi, my office is taihen chiisai. My seat to the pantry is about 5 steps away. How can it forsake me like that?! Wait for my day to end at least ma.

Mission impossible 3
Mission impossible 3 was good. Think few would believe me if I tell you I didn’t watch MI-1 and MI-2. wahahah. That’s how ulu I am. Dunno how come I never watch also.
It’s difficult for an action movie to keep viewers at the edge of their seats. MI3 did it.. not even Jackie Chan movies lo.. some parts can be quite lame. Another reason could be because Tom is more eye candy than Jackie. Time seems to fly watching Tom walk, eat, talk, smile or flying from building to building. There’s this famous scene of Tom kena blasted off and the force of the blast caused him to fly up and hit against the side of a car. Sounds clumsy but he looked so super stylo.
When we left the theatre towards the exit, we saw an usher standing at a door, think is to prevent ppl from using that exit. And his eyes was closed. He was sleeping. A really good way coz nobody would dare to use that exit or even enquire if that exit can be used. Fool proof method with a tinge of mission impossible air.
Was shopping around for a jacket for naz. Was particularly looking at addidas jackets coz I think addidas carries very nice n sporty jackets. Browsed through the whole shop but instead we set our eyes on the one the sales guy was wearing. Super nice!!! Color, logo and design just gel together so nicely. But they don’t have it in the shop so asked that guy to help us check out which outlet has it.
The one he’s wearing was bought from Bangkok coz he thought Singapore wouldn’t be bringing it in. He told us the design just came in yesterday but sizes are running out fast. Which later I believed him. On the way walking from marina square to suntec for collection, we spotted 3 ppl wearing the same one. Ha. But it’s really worth it man though it cost a whooping $129 .. it’s the type of buy where it’s love at 1st sight. Perfect buy. Difficult to find something which matches exactly what you’re looking for. Heh.
Was making up an expenditure list including predicted future expenditure in the current month. Scary. Mothers’ Day Dim Sum lunch, plus many many gatherings and dinners up and coming due to watashi no tanjobi. This weekend itself I’ll be going for 5 meals liao. Wahhaha. I forecast my stomach is going to burst.
Wondering whether I should continue with kickboxing. Really like the classes coz can train my naturally weak arms and lots of cardio. I like. Cannot stand classes like pilates or yoga… slow until can sleep. But decided to give myself a break since zhe san and sharon san both dun want to continue also. ok la.. can save $65 also. was thinking of joining the Hip Hop class near end june. But the timings are shitty. Only slot is 9-10pm every Monday. When school starts, I dunno how I’m going to find the energy to wake up on Tuesday mornings. Urghz. Can’t imagine dragging myself to wake up at 6am every morning. Double *urghz* -urghz urghz!
Still pending CPT results. Fingers crossed. My gut tells me it’s not going to be good. Triple urghz.- urghz.. urghz… urghz!!!

in the Q @ subway
Had my 1st “real bread” in 2 weeks!! Ate subway Spicy Italian.. oishii… but tummy super bloated coz not used to eating a full meal and so much carbo. Errr. The free cookie was given to sharon san, courtesy of me. She apparently liked it a lot and I couldn’t stomach it liao.
Wa..must complain!! We spent 20min Q-ing coz of some stupid inconsiderate invisible customer who ordered like 10 subs. Invisible coz he wasn’t there physically. Must have placed his order and left to collect later. Inconsiderate coz .. it’s just so inconsiderate! Everybody was q-ing and wondering why the q hardly moved. Only when we moved closer to the panel then we saw 10 pieces of subs in preparation. But the staff also very slow la.. just putting in cooked food only and rolling the bread.. what sauce for you sir?.. How long can it take rite. And also, thanks to subway’s recent promo to encourage customers to toast their bread… more time wasted in toasting to enjoy the daily offer.
I think it’s weird. Why promote ppl to toast their bread? Why give incentive to only ppl who choose to toast their bread? Just doesn’t make any sense to me la. Yes. Maybe it taste nicer warmed. But it’s not like they’re promoting it coz toasted bread is healthier.
Simply wakaranai. If I don’t toast, does it make me a more worthless customer who’s not worthy of any promo? Weird ne. Normal gimmick would be maybe if you buy a sub and plus add a soup, you get a bundled price or a free cookie. That makes sense. Aiya. Don’t know la. The most logical reason I can think of is that maybe toasted bread kills the bacteria in ham and meat which they just leave out in the open so that makes it healthier. Okie. This weird discussion shall stop here.
Meeting babu, maria and ahmad later for supper… celebrate babu’s bday…belated. Heh. That reminds me.. TGIF!

miscellaneous
Much needed sleep.. where are you…
Woke up at 8am today.. horrifically late for work. Overslept but yet do not feel very energized. Not surprising.. humans need 10 hours of sleep everyday, on the average. Already tried and tested that this amount of sleep is the required amount conducive to all. Sighz. Just that most of us do not have the luxury of enjoying it. So one of my targeted daily accomplishments is to make sure I try to get as much sleep as possible.
Waa..the 8pm show on channel 55 is so good. About how an evil twin brother kill another twin brother so that he can assume the identity of the good and quite well-to-do twin brother. The scapegoat happened to be his own wife who followed him to the scene of murder and before she could see anything, she was knocked out by her husband and she was jailed for murdering her own “husband”. But actually the dead person wasn’t her husband. So she was wrongly jailed for 10 years. So the story goes on.. how this evil guy try to hide his true identity and make everything around him work the way he wants. Waiting for the day when justice prevails.!!!
Exciting ne. I love tvb!!
Elections are near and now all the papers are quite boring to read. All about elections…. Something which I’m not interested in. Politics and me just don’t gel together la. Sensitive issue here.. so shall stop here. Haha. Better go and read up abit so can exercise my right as a citizen! Perhaps can get some info from my dad who is so super dupa onz about this whole thing… super chase rallies…(cannot say who he support la… voting is secret!)
Just back from lunch and really regretted showing naz a pamphlet on Old Chang Kee. Besides selling the usual stuff, the one near Lau Pa Sat offers set meals like meesiam with drink… and he ordered the chicken curry bread pot… god.. its so yummy. Maybe coz I haven’t eaten curry in a long while. Just a reminder that I’m still on detox! Haha.. imagined detox la.. I already took loads of Msg , salt, oily stuff. Okie..just 4 days more…. Ganbatte natsuri san!!
Naz helped me by ordering the chicken curry pot.. my fave! So he dipped the bread in pathetically little curry sauce for me. And abit of chicken meat. And a bit of potato.. cannot..must control. I can virtually feel my saliva congregating at the side of my mouth when I saw him dipping..no no..correction: soaking, his bread into the curry sauce. Waaaaaah. Mi nai. Mi nai.
Then a supplier visited our office today and guess what he brought… 2 boxes of chocs from Chocz! My god. I ate 4 pieces. Yummy.

Swam through MayDay (a pun!!)
Went naz’s club to swim on Sunday, along with his sis n her bf.. ha. Her bf is like 3 years younger than her and looks so kawaii.. boy boy look.. his eyelashes…woaaahh. Hansamu. But it was a blessing in disguise that it was drizzling when we started off.. coz that drove all the kids out of the pool. Ii ne!
But no dun for tanning lo.
We tried to practice life saving skills in the water.. the dragging chin kind.. and I was so bad at it. think a life person would die faster if I went down to save him. No stamina and my leg power not strong enuff to swim all the way plus to drag a lifeless person with me.... dekimasen.
The whole group of us trooped down to cartel for dinner and I was supposed to eat salad for dinner. I did. I chose the chef’s salad.. my fave! Comes with chicken, cheese, ham and eggs…. Haha…. So unlike a salad.. and that’s what I like about it! and thousand island to go along. Yum. Plus..the nice soft bread with butter. .. divine.
Visited MS to help my colleagues buy another 2 e-dics… and our dinner was only truly completed with dessert at this Jap place in marina square.. Azaku Sabo. Desserts are oishii-ly divine.
Today was more boring. Started bright early public holiday morning with……. tuition. So sad. Then shopped around at watsons for toiletries and I really dunno what’s wrong with me today. I picked up a cranberry pack of ricolas and wanted to buy coz on offer. But being a ah-soh, I reached out to get the ones “inside” and just dropped into the basket. I picked up a conditioner and wanted to buy it… but being ah-soh again, I took the one “inside”.. and when I reached home, I bought blackcurrent and shampoo!!!! DAM!!! Ta. Ma. De. (doesn’t look so crude when I separate it out hor.?) …
I hate it.. Im a perfectionist when it comes to buying stuff.
