Nothing much happening.. except that .. recently, i cleared my driving test on 6th March, after 40sessions of practical lessons. My 2nd attempt. Happy la of cos... don't have to step into SSDC anymore.. hated walking to the driving centre from Yio Chu Kang Mrt .. very far.. so very the lazy to walk in.. and i heard that SSDC will be shifting to Woodlands industrial park area... wah.. i can imagine that the place is going to be more ulu (faraway) ..

anyway... people say that at SSDC, it is easy to pass... or very fast can pass..
registered in late April but only started the practical lessons in May last yr.
Didn't go for any practices sometime in july for almost 2mths, and 1 mth in January this yr.. so basically, i took abt 7-8mths.

And now i got a driving license and started driving to work. But unfortunately, can't park at my work place as I am not entitled to have a parking space at all. Stupid rules says that only those ranks as the senior staff nurses and above have the privileges, while the parking lot stated clearly as " Staff Carpark " . Discriminating.. isn't it?

And it's none of their business ( the security officers ) .. that i have a car to drive to work. And they told me that i should take the public transport.. and they even questioned me why i need the car for.. I am totally angry with the whole hospital system now!!

So meantime, Kev took over after I reach the hospital..

Anyway.. i can't drive alone yet. Kevin needs to be beside me.. as i am not steady yet.

2nd Day CNY

Canceled trip to Sentosa as it was raining very heavily as we passed by the ECP Keppel.. We went visiting instead.. to Serene's and Kenji's place.

Managed to visit Mary's place at Hougang.. before heading home.. Very nice house.. i like it.. spacious, cozy and smells new too....

First Day Chinese New Year

style="width:400px;text-align:left;">

Phew..! I almost missed my usual 10am Korean drama on channel U , as i was busy mopping the floor and clearing the rice and soup bowls on the dish rack into the cabinets.

Immediately after the Korean drama ended at noon, went to cold storage to get some groceries to cook for dinner. Need not worry about lunch cos, papa decided to pack "sop kambing" from Jalan Besar Food Center.. very famous one.. nice.. i like..

Serene and Ak came with parents and grandma but left earlier.
Oh.. Gong Gong did not join us today..
Kev's cousins came with their partners.. and stayed till late afternoon. They like cats too..

Later in the evening, Mama rec'd call from Christine in NZ. Her time was close to midnight.. The family chatted over Google Chat .. including popo who has hearing problem..

Lastly, dinner was served.. Cooked Asam Fish Head, Water cres chicken soup, fried eggs with tomatoes and veggies..

My right hand a bit weak now... tired i think..
But i am not complaining..
i like receiving guests..
i enjoy cooking, even though i am not good at it and half of the time,
i got problem deciding on what to cook,
Overall... i like everything that i do for my family..
Everyone is happy today... and Kevin loves me, i know.. *wink wink * hehehe...

Me ...

Right now.. since yesterday.. kev been watching his chinese drama dvd.. trying to finish it and have it returned asap.

so i am actually a bit bored. i wouldn't know what to do, if we do not have wireless.

i have been reading about health matters, related to my patient's diagnosis.. but it's so difficult to remember what i have read... how ah... i think the grey matter in my brain a lot liao.. i am getting old i know... i got wrinkles .. so obvious that i don't want to smile too wide or laugh hilariously liao.. but if i don't smile and be like how i am, i looked troubled and sad.. and pple start to query.. i feel that i am looking so old and behaving like one too when i am with my new colleagues.. whom most of them are more than 7 yrs younger ..i am one of the oldest.. and i am older than my preceptor! Grey hair starting to be obvious too ... and..uhhh.. kev still looking so good... how ah...

lately, yf said that i am fat! OMG... i better do something... i have not been running since the ultra end last year.. better get back to running to shed some weight and start toning up .. got weights at home also never make use.. useless me.

Ok .. my resolution ... Don't be lazy !

A Quiet.. Chinese New Year Eve...

kevin said.. every time, on eve of CNY .. every where quiet... like ghost town..

The hospital is quiet too. My ward.. one room is closed.. no occupancy. But i bet, after CNY, there surely have a lot of admission.. diabetic patients especially.

tonight me and kev had our own reunion dinner... from left over food from the night before... a mini steamboat..

I am now thinking of what to cook for tomorrow... rice with dishes or fried bihun?

I think some of kev's relatives will be visit us.. since my inlaw will be at my place after church service.. and surely they gonna be having lunch over at my place... so what to cook ah? I have to be careful with my choice of food to cook.. as kev's dad is diabetic, type II. And lately his right big toe is injured.. so he has to be very cautious of his diet so as not to have his sugar level raised..

I hope i will be able to cope with my cooking and entertaining of guest come tomorrow.

Next year, i don't think i will be able to celebrate CNY like right now... away from work. Some of my chinese colleaques will be back at ward on 2nd day of CNY. My preceptor working night tmr, 1st day cny. In future, my work schedule will be so unpredictable.. i don't know how i am going to cope with the 3 shifts.

Reunion Dinner 2007

Steamboat cum BBQ for reunion dinner last night.

To all, Gong Xi Fai Cai!!! ... Wishing all a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year !!

High fever...

my sayang sick... spike fever few nites ago.. highest 37.9 deg- 2 nites ago. Tonight, 37.6 deg. Seen doctor 3x.. got mc for today and tmr.

Besides fever, he complaint of ache around his cheek bone and the doc mentioned that it cld be due to stuffy nose.. that created the pressure from within .. hmmm.. watever it is ..he is taking too much of different medication..from 3 different doctors. And i hate to see him taking those medications.. drug toxicity.. bad for the liver. To me, all he need is rest... good rest.

Life been stressful for him .. and for me.. ever since 2 yrs back.. when i started to go back to study full time nursing.. and followed by events... one by one, his family members were admitted to the hospital. First, it was papa with diabetic foot debridement at CGH, then.. Grandma ..in ICU for hypertension and Grandpa went for op for peptic ulcer at TTSH. At the same time... he had to juggle with his part time degree course.. All in all... he has been very occupied .. with work , family and other commitments and especially me! ON and Off, he will be down with common flu, persistent cough, fatigue and on top of all that ,stress has always been one of the contributing factor.

Today half of us were assigned to our respective ward for e-trolley and laerdal resuscitator skill competency assessment.. while some others at skills lab for resuscitation skills.

It is still too early to say how i feel abt this ward even though i have worked in this same ward during my PRCP. Though I blend in well with the ward staff, but i think they have some degree of expectation on me. Coming back to the same ward may not be a good thing .. i feel a bit pressured . .. i need to improve some skills, which may not been taught yet.. I need to be confident, they always mentioned abt having good critical thinking and patient management and stuff.. which is too broad and general.. which i don't think i can learn in one day.... and communication skills, especially. Cannot say anything nice.. don't say a word.. jUst be nice...

Be patient and do not panic.. and do not rush into doing things. Must think , think , think!!! Do things with rationale.. but must also work fast.. try not to be too helpful, else i can't finish my own things.. prioritize .. try to avoid silly mistakes .. and don't be clumsy..


At the end of the day.. must be able to smile and be happy with what i have done for the day.. get back to normal, enjoy the rest of the day with my love ones.. And start fresh the next morning.

oh yah.. surely got unpleasant things happening very day.. so what to do?

I hope my friends are doing fine with their new colleagues.. and things get better for those who are not comfortable and those who have not get accustomed to the ward style.. All the best to all and lets get through this together.. for next 3yrs and see how it goes from there...

Graduate Transition Program

Transition program, starting this month and will be ending around early May. Packed with lessons quite similar what we already had in school except that it includes the hospital's standard practices and work process. Just sitting to listen to the speakers can be a bit tiring and, at times .. i slept with my eyes open,staring blankly onto the powerpoint slides. We will be awake if someone asked questions.. awake because of their nonsensical question asked.. what a waste of time!

We will be tested throughout the program.. and truthfully, i am not prepared for it. My anxiety level is at the peak right now..i want to go to ward and start picking up things and learn at the same time, from the ward itself.. not in classroom or skills lab.

So meantime, right now.. I have nothing much to do .. except to read up certain things.. enjoy office hour schedule

Probation period is 6mths.. and will be required to do night shift by the 4th mth.

Again i have to say this.. the pay is miserable.

Since i'll be having some free time in the evenings, i will try to go for my driving practical lessons. Test date getting nearer and I don't have much time left, and financially not healthy too.. i can't afford to fail.


Update on past activities with friends..


We were at Sento on Sunday, 28th.. and we were there again the following day..
Went to the Airport in the morning.. Guessed it was monday.. and airport not busy.. not many planes taking off and landing.. Me and YF realised that we are not the indoor type.. cannot survive.. without the sun, sand and sea... And so, off to Sento again...



Then, the next day, Tuesday 30th... me, shiken and yf cycled at East Coast Park. Did not play with water.. jus cycle.


Then.... the following day..31 Jan,
Returning from Jurong East Swim Complex.. we took this pic at Lot 1, basement carpark lift lobby.



Then... the same evening .. Kev completed his ICT and, without any tickets, went down to the National stadium to the soccer! A kind couple saw us coming out for the ticketing booth, sold us 2 tickets for the same price.. but we gave him ten each. We were lucky. Sin 2: Thai 1.

27 January: Mum's place

Received sms early morning .. read as.." Raining here, got sore throat,hope to comeback to tonight to sleep..."

Oh yes, yes .. jus comeback .. late also comeback pls.. take cab!

And shortly after that, kev called. I have been alone at home most of the time, as he is away for reservist..(but almost everyday i also got go out hehehe..) the house is quiet and obviously got no one to talk to except, scolding the cats... or play "chak" with my cats.. other than that, self talk ..

It has been raining since yesterday afternoon while i was at my mum's. Spend half a day there, and the house noisy and out of control with my 3yr old nephew, Idris playing and screaming .. together with the rest of his sibling and cousins, while my eldest sister was having her computer lesson in another room taught by one of the SAVH (S'pore assoc for the visually handicapped) teacher, who is also blind. They had problems getting into the internet.. not able to dial up successfully, and they had been sitting and figuring why cannot log in... each time a window pops up, a voice will tell them what it is and instructions will be given to help in navigating. Actually it's not that simple. But these people are jus amazing... I realised that i've never nursed a sick and blind patient or came across any blind patient... (except for one who's at IMH.. this one different story)

Blame it on the weather or what.. everyone is falling sick.

I hope today's weather be fine.. no sun nevermind... but don't rain.. cos last night, me and YF decided to either go to the Zoo, cycling or swimming .... and it all require good weather... sunny would be best!

Well, see how it goes later......

28 January: Sentosa with YF





30 January : to the airport, sentosa again ..


Tomorrow : Cycle/Swim @ East Coast Beach

rain ? Not again....

Kevin sms-ed to tell me that the sky looks very dark over at Sentosa and it is windy over at his side of the island. Then, after that, followed by YF's sms saying that it's raining over at Hougang. I got up, looked out my kitchen window... could tell that it had rained earlier as the road was wet. But .. the sky is clear.. but when i went to look out from my living room window.. dark clouds passing over.. aiyah..
So how now? No plan B.. cos we thought the raining season has gone.. Yesterday weather was jus great.. each time we planned for something outdoor, the dark clouds want to be part of it.. what to do? We can only plan... the One decides...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyhow... Plan B: Little India.

YF brought me to one of the beauty salon at Little India for eye brow threading..
told the lady .. that it's my first time.. so hopefully she'll be gentle with me.
YF stood closely to take photos... luckily,did the eyes only, not the whole face. I can't bear with the pain, maybe it was my first time... can't wait to get out of that chair.. But nevermind.. then YF said something like ... "want to look pretty, want to look nice.... tahan the pain lor!" Yeah.. she's right... so now.. as she said.. the face looks freshier, less bushy.... hmmm.. less bushy.. hahaha!!




Back to Plan A : Sento

About 1 pm, me and YF left India for Sentosa.. and met up with the rest, Shiken, Laila, Karen and Cheng Gek. Both K and CG, were there earlier for sight- seeing, visited the Images of Singapore and CG seemed to liked it after listening to how she described the place with full of facial expression and actions. So i guessed the admission price quite worth it.

It drizzzled a bit over at Sentosa.. but that didn't stop us from playing..
It was a perfect day for all as most were happy that there's no Sun! Oh.. except of YF, unfortunately she couldn't get into the water.. for some *reasons...
so we had her to be our camera-woman! She really did a good job.. as it all turned out perfect as well :) Tango Yankee... YF, next time u hold my camera while i poise.. hehe

here are some of the pics taken... the rest had to be censored*

Play water.. again and again

Last Monday, the day we have been waiting for.. Good weather no rain.. Cannot waste this day!
So, off to Jurong West Swim Complex, we went. We didn't check the operating hours, but fortunately it was opened. The complex closes on Tuesdays as stated in front of the lift entrance.

The weather was so hot that when we took photo.. our faces were darken by the bright background.. we were already so dark ourselves.. the picture turnout dark dark also..

We should have just bought the water camera.. There were like less that 10 customers there.. and we were the only 3 with the giant float.. enjoying the lazy river.. all for ourselves.. it was like a private pool.



After playing.. then next best thing to do is Eat!
Pizza Hut has improved greatly, so we took this chance to go Pizza Hut to eat since we can't possibly eat alone. Must have gang to eat one.. 2 not enough.. 3 people better.. can order bigger pan .. not personal pan.. and wow! this I must say.. the sauce called the cool mayo .. was the best.. !!! not so jelak.. got sour-ry taste and it blends so well with supper supreme toppings, as compared to the usual tomato sauce. And, the cool mayo with seafood tastes so mayo-deliciousssss........

Oh.. kevin came back late evening.. again.. like before.. dump dirty stuff into the washer, and left for Japanese movie, Ghost Tunnel at Cathy, causeway point. All japanese ghost looks the same, they crawl and wears long overflowing hair..with big dark eyes, super big white face and super slim body.. like Juon, The Grudge..

eerreee.. eerie... i forgotten that i'll be alone at home.. ceh.. this kevin ah.. make my heart beat so fast liao.. somemore tonight i still cannot sleep.. don't know how come i don;t feel tired.. infact again today (tuesday), i went out to play at Jurong East Swim complex. This time with YF and Laila..

Laila smsed early morning to ask about the swimming stuff..It was my mistake for not calling her to come along yesterday to JW swim complex.

So me and YF, morning morning.. breathed out the word sianz...and we really don't mind the sun and playing with water.. we decided to go out!!! Wah we suddenly became so alive! Eyes open big big... say the word play wah.. no need to think twice. Pack and go!

And so we went. Kev left for camp. Me and YF met up with Laila at KFC, JE swim complex. Good weather too.. with slight rain later part of the day.
After we got changed, we saw the wave pool was already been activated.. Me and YF left Laila behind (she eating her kfc), ran like small children like never been to the pool before.. started to swim into the center to enjoy the waves and the water being prayed from above.. like rain falling into us. . and jus as we start to get excited, it all stopped.. it was over!!! oh we were so embarrassed... no wonder, some swimmers already started to relax by the pool.

Again, like as if, we owned the lazy river, with our giant float, round and round we went.. the wave pool was activated every top of the hour. So we stoodby the pool 10 mins into the hour.. making sure that we won't miss it.

And oh,yes.. we daringly slide down the circular tubes.. if only there's lift to bring us up.. we would have played the slide over and over again...making full use of the rented giant float. Anyhow.. the 3 of us were so damn lazy to climb up the stairs.

We ended the day by going to the IMM for lunch cum dinner at the Banquet. Then walk-walk at Daiso.. and then bye bye.

Tmr, as in Wednesday, i planned to visit my mother in law.
On Thursday, we planned to go to Sentosa
On Friday, we hope to go to Ubin.
Next week, we planned to go swim at Chua Chu Kang complex.
And also to Little India to do eye threading,
and also.. if got time, to go treat and trim my long hair..
then after that...
Get my uniforms ready for work by 1st Feb.
Then, there's where my new journey will begin.

play play play... everyday .. and still not enuf

15 January : Vivocity

The zoo trip was cancelled as most of my frens couldn't make it. Me and Shiken didn't want to laze at home, and since the weather was good, we decided to go to East Coast to cycle. But unfortunately, every time we are together, the weather changed. It started to rain when we were on our way there, along the ECP, U-turn at Fort Road and Shiken drove toward Vivocity instead.

Well, there's nothing much we could do there ... we could only think of eating and then, took some pics, and played some games at the Arcade.

Die-die before we start work.. must go cycling! Must make sure!

On this day too, we got to know the ward we'll be going to work start 1st Feb. I will be returning to the same ward. But my friend, HP and YF won't be. They tried talking to the person in-charge but they did not get a pleasant response. Some got lucky where they got to go to the specialized ward of their choice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16 January: SIM and Sentosa

Kevin booked out early this morning, given a day's off and to report back by the next day by noon.

Met up at Clementi, went to SIM to collect his course materials, headed back home asap as Papa coming over to collect some things. And once the washer ended, hanged his army uniform and other stuffs to dry, and then, to Sentosa we went. The weather was suprisingly cloudy, no rain.

Reached home in time to watch BlogTv which featured our friend , Haznita with her child, D , "who says my mum doesn't blog?" , i think that was the title.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17 January: SGH , Newton Food Centre

Left house with kevin. Bye bye.. he went back to camp.

I brought my mum to SGH for eye check-up. Very long wait at the clinic, about 2 hrs before she gets to see the doctor. We left the hospital at about 5:30pm and the train was so crowded, mum didn't get to sit. She complained her leg pain... must be after too much walking .. she really got no energy.. leg not strong also.. how to help her? Hmmm... i also don't know what to do.

then bye bye to mum at yew tee, i made my way to jurong east, meet up with Shiken for dinner. craved for chilli crab.. so we went to Newton Food Centre. YF joined us too after she had her spa session. So again.. eat eat eat... chit chat... chat abt what to do next.. ? Next activity: to the zoo, cycle at Ubin and swimming at the new swimming complex at Jurong West... Must do it before start work!!!

Shiken ordered gong gong... wah best!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

18 January : Juli's house

we spent the day at juli's beautiful baywater ...
supposed to make use of the facilities there,but we ended up eat, eat and eat... chat and chat ....
This photo taken in Juli's daughter's bedroom... princess's room.. so sweet and pink.




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

19 January: TTSH and movie


Early morning went for medical checkup and collect our scrubs at TTSH together with YF.
Laila met up with us later part of the day too.

Purple scrubs looks nicer than the usual blue.. but to me, the scrubs look like pyjamas.. and kevin said we look no diff from the patients. The scrub looks so baggie and it definitely won't look good with the free girl-girl shoe.. i feel like i wanna get that Nike all-black coloured sports shoe... but it's so expensive.. $1o3. Hmm.. think i want to go scout for other brands... so long the shoe look a little rugged and to last for 3 yrs.

After all done and settled, bid farewell to YF who left for weekend cruise and be back by Sunday. And before she left, she already can't wait to be back again to go swimming or the zoo as planned.

In the evening, Kevin came back from camp. Quick wash his uniform and dirty stuff, then left for that Mel Gibson movie ... don't know how to spell the movie title... very good movie.. or was it Pan Labyrinth... can't recall when we watched that spanish (i think) movie.. another good movie.
Watched a few other movies lately.. but can't remember when and what.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20 January : Sam's Wedding and Niece Khadijah 1 yr old Birthday

Attended Sam's church wedding with HP held at the catholic church opposite Mac at Toa Payoh Central. Simple and it was quite fast ah.. some guest came dressed up in retro as it was the theme for her special day. I came in my usual jeans and white top.

After the wedding, I called Gong Gong for lunch at Fork and Spoon, together with Papa since he wanted to come over to Toa Payoh, to fetch me home . i then, realized that .. Papa is Gong's son-in-law, and me, papa's daughter-in-law... and to grandpa, i'm his granddaughter-in-law... hmmm, it was like an "all-in-law' day ..

Late afternoon, i left home again to my bro's house at Bt Panjang to celebrate his 1yr old daughter birthday.



Reached home late and house so empty... couldn't sleep.. didn't feel tired at all. Been out for the whole week and yet still feeling restless.. i think i miss my sayang.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
21 January : Home whole day ...
Morning went breakfast with Elliot.. so long never see her.. and she is into her 8th mth pregnancy.. so happy for her. Congrats!

YF smsed after returning from the cruise, to confirm on tmr's activity.
To JUrong west swimming ctr.. rain or shine, must get out of the house.. die-die must play.. we got not much time liao!!!


Spend the rest of my Sunday at home.. alone & nothing much to do, jus laundry, bored. No one to talk to.. so silent at home. Waited and waited for kevin to call me.. so my mobile phone always with me 24/7, by my side or in my pocket .. my boredom was relieved when i received his phonecalls.

15 days left to go..

We are schduled to be back at ward by 1st Feb, but a lot of things not settled by ur HR dept. Initially, we were told to return to the hospital ion 2nd week of dec lastest, to collect our uniforms, our bagde, make payment for the nursing licence stuff and medical check up. So far no calls from them for such urgency.. Wonder if they got do their job!

Woke up early today about 0530hrs to see Kev off to Clementi Camp. Observed that, his cat, Alley itching all over.. scratching and licking.. bathed her, finally. After that,placed her collar so that she will not lick her body too much .. don't know why this cat has always got body itch... ( hmmm, wonder if there's piriton for pets?) Must remember to take the collar off, before i leave home.. so else,she will starve..

Going to the zoo with YF and Shiken. Last minute cancellation from Hankee as he's at the A&E- mum admitted for high fever. Hui Ping.. not coming.. So it's going to be the 3 of us again..

Anyways.. the weather is good today and hope that it will stay this way for the rest of the week..

Bring raincoat,jus in case!!! But ah.. do i have a raincoat?!? Hmmmm....

Kevin goes for 3weeks ICT ...

Yesterday, he left for ICT. Since he'll be away, I thought that it would be a good idea to follow adik and along with HP and YF to Malacca. The plan was to accompany Adik, drive to Malacca to send her grandma back to her hometown, and at the same time, to spend 1 nite there, sight-seeing and to play, of cos! And everyone was so excited for it.

Kevin was fine with it but my mum stopped me for going since Kev not around..and not to do extra-ordinary things... while he's gone.. aiyah, that's it.. cannot go lor..It was a bit difficult to break the bad news to her.. After explaining my situation.. that i felt 50-50 about going.. Thankfully Adik was understanding abt it even thought a bit disappointed.. but she has gotten over it when me and YF went to see her yesterday, for lunch at her place, followed by window shopping at Jurong Point and makan .. again ... at West Coast Hawker Centre. It was raining the whole of yesterday .. we didn't have much things to do but to walk indoors and eat.. which we felt that we don't really enjoy window shopping.. Nothing in the mall interest us.. well except for that stereo speakers fitted in a stuff toy found at Kiddy Palace.

So we talked about going to the Zoo anytime next week.. and if the weather gets better, we should go to Ubin as planed..

Time is running short.. with 2 weeks left .. there are still things needed to be done .. and a lot more places to go..activity to do..

Better write down what i really want to do .. in my iNote!!

Activity 090107: soakfeet cum bowling day

Last Tuesday, took my friends to gambas camp where the hot spring is to soak our feet.

It started to rain jus when we wanted to make our way to the camp from North Point Mac D. And that, did not stop us. We liked it anyway.. we didn't want too much sun cos we had enough of it already from the previous Sentosa trip.

It kept us cool and of cos, no sweat.. We had our umbrellas so, it was no problem at all.

No one was at the hot spring. Anyway.. who wants to come just to soak feet on such wet weather?.. only people like us who has got nothing better to do..

And so we had the whole place to ourselves.. we talked whatever we like and as loud as we want to .. relaxing in the open, having our feet soaked in that warm water, under the rain.. We spent about 2 hours there and, since the rain didn't stop, i invited my friends over to my place for lunch. We watched Scary Movies 4 and they were so OK with my cats.. Tabbie loves their attention..

Then, in the evening, unplanned.. our Adik, brought us all, to Marina South for bowling to relieve some stress. Kevin joined us too. My friends don't mind him coming along at all. They are comfortable with kevin around. and our conversations not limited to "girl talk" and there's a variety of other things to talk about not limited to school and work stuff.. And best when Kev and Adik meet face to face.. it will be like in the Arena.

Haven't been bowling for quite some time.. and i felt the strain on the whole part of my right hand, especially my wrist.. the ache felt like after the "pull-up patient" effect.

We had a great time and looking forward to ...what's next !

i-note or do nothing..

Supposed to have an ala- candle light dinner tonight but kev got to work till midnight.

While preparing for the lamp chop and stuff..., he called to tell me that. Not disappointed at all cos, tomorrow he's not required to be at work! So we have the whole day to do a lot of other things...

Need to do check list so that we will not miss out on anything. We can be very forgetful and then we "tai chi" each other for forgeting to remind each other of the things we need to do.

That's why i need an i-note!

I would write down what i plan to do the following day, the night before i go sleep.
Usually, before kev step out for work, he will ask what's on my list for today.. my agenda.. my activity .. quickly and sometimes excitedly, i tell him my itinery for the day..

I list down the things i need to do, places to go or things to get.. so as to get things going and done with.. if not, i would just laze, do nothing, roll on the bed from side to side, tv watch me, ... then the day wasted away. Things like : go somewhere, wash/iron clothes, wash toilet, tidy the kitchen, bathe the cats.. and then, i'll crossed out the things that i have done ...
Wah.. after that i will feel so satisfied.. and at the end of the day.. i update kev.

But so far, bathing cats... still not crossed yet and not even in the list already, .. they hate to bathe.. ah.. wait till they are really smelly...

Another thing on my list which i have to accomplish is to finish my oolong slimming tea... Difficult task!

To the Beach, Movies and Eat eat eat

Was at Siloso beach last Friday with some friends.. and we had lots for fun!
The photos tells it all...

Then, yesterday me and kev went for movie.. "The Last Dance".

Always feeling hungry.. .. so we went to Swensons' for apple crumble..to fill our stomach , before the movie.

Hmmm.. about the movie ..no too bad la.. but a bit messy.. confusing but ok lor..

My final verdict: Left the cinema.. no feeling of the movie .. but craved for chinese noodle.. cos, in one of the scene.. the officer ordered chinese noodle, wah.. the way he eat so shiok.. , and kevin felt the same way too.

So we headed to Far East Plaza for noodle.
Ordered Shredded chicken noodle for myself and Kev eat Fried Ee Mee...

chinese movies, i watched..

I am begining to like watching triad-themed Hong Kong/ chinese movies.
I have seen a few of such movies and other HK movies which kevin took me to but i cannot recall the titles..
Yesterday i watched Election and Election 2, loan them from Play!

Election” is the rather odd, but apparently true, story of how a Triad Society in Hong Kong chooses their new leader, or Chairman. Up for the job are Lok (Simon Yam), a seemingly mild-mannered, intelligent gangster and single parent to a young teen, and the explosive Big D (Tony Leung Ka Fai), who wants the job at all costs. Bribery, bullying, and other means of extorting votes from the elder Triads have commenced in full as the story begins. It isn’t long before Lok is elected Chairman, but to fully assume power and be recognized as the new chieftain, he must first take control of a token baton passed on from one Society chief to the next for over 100 years. To this end, both Lok and Big D send out their underlings and allies in search of the baton, even as the police, led by the stout Superintendent Hui (former kung fu star David Chiang) clamps down...

Lately we watched Confession of Pain.. good movie to catch too. Good acting by Tony Leung and Takeshi, and act-cute Shu Qi, made the movie fun to watch.



and also.. Curse of the Yellow Flower.. hmmm.. Not much artistic martial arts but has got pretty colours and sightingss...
Chow Yun Fatt.. good acting in this movie... i thought he is going to look awkward in this kind of old traditional movie..
GongLi is preeetty.. think she's the main attraction for pple to come watch the movie.. besides pop idol Jay Chou.. this guy got to take more acting lessons.. his facial expressions jus made the audience laugh... young modern looking man.. lost in the old time zone..

i think i better finish my oolong tea..
kev bought it for me late last year.. 25 sachets only and yet i couldn't finished it in a mth.
To encourage me drinking the tea daily, we went around different stores from orchard to chinatown, searching for a good tea pots and thermal drinking flask..

I brought a thermal flask to school and my friends watched me drink. I did offered them some, but they refused cos, the smell already made them go .. eeeee ...yucks. It was like drinking medicine.. bitter ..

In fact, it is a type of medicine..it has it's health benefits..

Oolong tea is good. Oolong (also spelt Wulong, or Wu Long) is literally 'black dragon' tea, but they say the name originally had nothing to do with dragons; rather, it was named after its discoverer Wu Liang.

Like other tea, Oolong is rich in antioxidants called polyphenols. These help prevent cancer, keep the heart healthy and aid general well-being.

Drinking good tea such as this, has other benefit like it helps to reduce the development of oxidized fatty materials in the bloodstream, such as low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the bad cholesterol, which linked to the formation of artery-clogging plaque and heart attacks.

It also help people to shed some pounds, which my frens commented that there's nothing left in me to shed.. But actually, have ah !!.. only Kev knows..

Since i got 1 mth break, .. will make sure by end of this mth, this oolong tea no more in the drawer.. I am left about 10 more sachets..
