Hello

Just completed my workout for the day. It went something like this:

5 minutes stretching
10 minutes 'dance'
40 minutes on Kettler Cross trainer (at average 6km/h)
3 sets of bicycle crunches, 15 reps
5 minutes stretches

TIRED! But feeling damn good with myself now. Seriously, is there a better feeling than this? Ok, there is. Haha!

Wondering what to do now. Hmmm. It's getting boring at home. Can kor arrange a dinner date? :) Dying to get out. All there is to do is workout, blog, FB(boring!), Youtube. Maybe I should go to the library again. Read some books. More alone time! Maybe tomorrow!

I wanna watch the new episodes of Glee! Shall get Mark to download them for me. There's an episode with Neil Patrick Harris. Matthew Morrison and NPH sang "Dream On" by Aerosmith. Watched the Youtube video. Holy shit! Nice screaming. Love it. Love Glee! Loving their cover of Lionel Richie's "Hello" too! Best song. I think I've listened and sung it at least 20 times since waking up today.





Hello

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, and my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

HAIYOOOOOO. So sweet... (:

Extraction

Woke up bright and early (8:30am) to get ready for my beauty regime. LOL. Facial time. Last time I had a facial was before the company BBQ I believe. It's a real stress-buster. Shiok TTM! The facial lady's name is Mary. Can you believe she changed her name to Mei Rong?!?!?! She must really love what she does. And it shows. She's really good. You wouldn't expect much from a little shop under a HDB block, but you will be pleasantly surprised.
Face, neck, shoulder and back massage. I can really K.O lying on that bed. Actually, I did fall asleep just now. Hmmm. Until extraction time. Horrible extraction. So painful. Lukily I got high threshold for pain. If not sure cry. Haha.
Last time, I was too lazy to change to sarong. Then I learnt that I get extra treatment if I do. So I always change to the sarong now. And the shoulder and back massage is just perfect for my aching muscles from yesterday's workout. Have no idea what I did though. Haha. Glad to say that recently, there is not a single day that my body isn't aching at any one spot! (:
Can't wait for this coming weekends' workout with my very own personal trainer. Lol. Think I will die, but I shall push through it. Cannot disappoint anyone, including myself. Build lean muscles, no more cellulite. That's the goal! :D Curse you cellulite!


Checking out yoga/pilates studios now. Might consider someplace nearer, maybe at Woodlands Civic Center. Hope Andrea considers joining with me. It's always nice to have her company! Awesome friend. She is also my exercise buddy now. We have both gained some weight since after the A levels, so it's time to do something about it! We have plans this Thursday. CCK stadium. Maybe swim (for me, attempt to). Can work on my tan at the same time. But haiyooooooo... Swimming costume tan line also pretty retarded. I remember after swim PE one day, it wasn't even that sunny, no one really got any darker except me. The tan line on my back was so funny, cos there's a cut out at the back. Haha! So it's a racerback tan and a circular tan on my lower back. Funny. Can't imagine if I was a school swimmer, how bad and interesting my tan line would be! Itching to go to the beach again! Andrea, let's make a date there too!!!! (:


Using Mark's awesome MacBook Pro now. The keyboard is fantastic. Absolutely love typing on this shit. Haha! Nice. I wanna fix my laptop. Mine's pretty good too. HP Limited Edition Entertainment laptop. Ok, maybe not so good. If it were, it wouldn't be out of order now huh. Anyway, I miss having my own laptop. I can sit in a corner and do whatever I please in privacy. Not porn hor! I don't do that. Hahaha. More like, having conversations and not having to worry that some pesky people are reading my whole conversation lor.


Some of the family is over now. Love spending Sundays with them. Awesome family I have! Time spent with them always makes me happy! With you too la (: Haha :P
Till next time people (:

6 chickens

Woke up late again today. Like 11am. That makes it 10 hours of sleep. Best thing, I got my double eyelid back. YAY! (: Damn happy. Smiled at myself in the mirror (:
Breakfast was Nestum with a glass of oat milk. Mummy brought back some Peking duck from her Min Jiang dinner last night. Ate 2 pieces. Was good. I don't really eat duck, I think it's a little too... stinky. But this one was pretty good. Had a quick shower afterward then off to CWP to buy kitchen appliances for a house that I am longing to move back into! ARGH! Can't wait to sleep on my beautiful queen sized four-poster bed again. HAHA! Like a princess huh (: Shiok sleep every night. Alone with no snoring, no one sleeping at my armpit. Haha.


Walked around CWP. They were selling Japanese stuff at the atrium. Bought some. Awesome stuff. I still strongly believe I have Japanese blood in me. I'm sure Tata is Japanese. That would make me 25% Indian, 25% Japanese and 50% Chinese (: Rojak.
We walked into Mayer and my mum said really loudly: "Which is your biggest oven?"
So embarrassing. Haha. Their biggest oven isn't big enough for her. She wants industrial kind or what? Ordering from overseas now. Supposedly able to fit 6 chickens. Wow. Wonder what's the volume on that one. Can start baking loads of stuff once I move back (: Invite everyone for a meal (:


Lunch at Siam Kitchen today. Wanted Lerk Thai instead but mummy was too lazy to cross the road to Civic Center. Haha. It's just an additional 100m or so lor... Anyway... LOVE THAI FOOD. Tom yam clear seafood soup is a must have for me. For Jeremy is chicken green curry and my mum, anything with rice. Ordered green papaya salad, honey chicken and mixed vegetables with tofu to share. I am proud to say that I did not over eat. My tummy is still nice and flat, even at 2110 hours. Haha! Happy happy! Did eat some junk today though. Had to sample the soft baked chocolate chip cookies. Had 2 spoonfuls of strawberry cheesecake with oreo crust (OH GOD SAVE ME!) and a bite of rose macaroons from Mezza9. ARGH. It's ok... Moderation. Haha. (I'm just trying to make myself feel better!)


Headed for a workout with Jeremy. Initial plan to climb the stairs was scrapped. We went to RP for a run. It reminds me of Cross Country. Mmmm. That slope ah... Killer! All that lactic acid in your ass. SHIOK. Haha. My brother was like... "OH GOD!" damn loudly. I swear people were laughing at us. But it's ok. We're just having fun.
Instead of turning back (should have), we decided to run through the park then take the path into the industrial park back to RP. I don't remember it being so far. Had to pass that prison (creepy), workers' quarters, some orphange and then back. Another uphill path. My brother was really suffering by then. Had to walk with him. I thought he was just kidding when he said he was feeling a little faint. Towards the end, decided to do some sprints. Realised my brother was missing. Ran back to him. He said he was gonna puke. I still didn't believe him. Oh man, I feel so bad ): While crossing the overhead bridge back, he puked. Had to hold onto him till we got home ): His test is next week. He's not gonna pass it for sure. Haiyooooooo. Don't want him to suffer in NS ):





Hmmm. If you've realised, I'm ignoring you. I'm sorry but I am not interested in hearing anything you have to say to me. Call me heartless, call me anything you want. I'm just being true to myself. I deserve that.

I smell something NUTTY

Yesterday was the last day of work for us guards a.k.a Operations Control Officers. Got to work at 7:30am and left at around 12:30pm (but got paid full day!). Was another bittersweet day for me. Bitter because no more visits from my dear guys, sweet because I can now pursue whatever I wish to. Met WJ kor before leaving just to say goodbye and talk a little, cos it's obvious I won't see everyone as often. So it's sad. But I promised to meet up every now and then. Hopefully it will happen. Ok, it will happen! I will make it a point (:


Felt pretty bad cos PY had to stay back while the rest of us left at 12:30pm. They released some of the guards cos we were completely redundant. Supervisor Mao had to choose the lucky one person to stay back and wait for the KFELS or DSL guys to return, then for big boss to return from taking photos of the rig. Sya and PY were in the toilet so Supervisor Mao said whoever walks into the office first will stay back. So PY was the one. She said it was unfair cos Sya was having big business. Sya was nice enough to accompany her. I would've, but the pump room just doesn't feel like my place anymore. Been spending way too much time in the office slogging that I just feel like I don't belong at the pump room. SIGH. It's ok. It's over now. Although the rig has left for Phuket, we guards still have the obligation to return any time between now and the 3rd of June if they call us back cos officially, our contract ends on the 3rd (meaning we get paid till the 3rd, even if we don't work). Of course, I will be the first one to be called back since my mum is there. We will need to clean up the registration post before handing it over. Mum says PY cannot escape. We will wait for her to come back from Langkawi then clean it. So we have another week before it happens! Till then, time to diet, work out and catch up on sleep!


Last night was dinner at the Mezza9 which is on the second floor of the Hyatt. It was all Henrik and Knut's bright idea. So wrong! One is twice my age, the other is MORE than twice my age. Imagine these men trying to get a date with me. Argh. Of course, my mum wouldn't let them 'date' me so she said if there was gonna be dinner, then she would be there too. When Henrik asked, I remembered saying no, I wasn't free, but eventually got forced to go ): She pulled PY into it too. Since she's 'in love' with the nut. Hahaha! At least we had each other to feel bored and awkward with. The food was good though. It's an international fare place so we had lots to choose from. For starters, we had bruchetta, garlic bread, crab cakes, an assortment of sashimi (YUMMY!) and salad. I was full by then but had to continue eating my main course. Shared the Seafood Platter with mum. $138. The platter consisted of lobster, alaskan king crab, prawns, salmon and tuna. It was worth it! But we couldn't finish. There was just way too much food. Knut and Henrik each took a piece of alaskan king crab and they really really loved it. You should've seen how they devoured it. HAHA! Funny fellas. Of course, no meal is complete without dessert. We ordered two dessert platters to share. It had cherry sauce with liquor, lemon tart, chocolate lava cake, ice cream and rose macaroons which my mum ordered specially for herself. ARGH! Felt sick after eating it. That was officially the last meal that I would allow myself to indulge in. Started my 'diet' again today. Had oatmeal with banana and peanut butter for brunch (woke up at 11am. SHIOK), scrambled eggs with cheese on toast for lunch, a glass of milk, soup for dinner, a glass of soya milk, one cup of carrot and orange juice, some green tea, a few strands of pasta (like 5 just to try) and mushrooms. This is seriously quite little. Hmmm. And sounds like a lot of fluid. I am a little hungry now, but not going to sleep yet. Waiting for something to happen soon (((((:


Decided to try working out twice a day, for 20 minutes each time. This way, you fire up your metabolism twice! I really need to expand my energy expenditure. I am hoping the 3kg extra is the gain from muscle and not fat. My maid says she only sees the weight on my face. AHH! Chubby face! Only good for pinching. But try it, and I will get aggressive. Haha. It's ok... I have the determination to get into better shape (:


Got a call from Mee Mee, telling me that my contacts won't arrive for another 3 weeks. I don't have supply till then! So pissed. I can't be wearing my spectacles around! Firstly and most importantly, I am extremely vain when it comes to this (exceptionally so). My degree so high sia. Look like nerdy shit. Hahaha! Ok another reason, which is another good reason... I get dizzy when I wear my specs for too long. Really not used to it anymore. Next, I can't work out in my specs. They get fogged up and they slip off my nose cos I perspire like hell. I remember fencing with specs. In that mask... Always fogging and I couldn't push up my specs when they started slipping off. Had to stomp my feet and wave to the ref for a time out. So stupid. Then came squash. If I didn't get contacts, I had to wear the over-glass goggles, which are huge and ugly! Once again, it's vanity. But but but... since wearing contact lenses, my eyesight has stabilised. Just got them checked a few hours ago. 500 and 600. The disparity in my astig is pretty bad. One eye is 175 and the other is 50 only. So... I don't know! My eyes are weird. Haha.


Oh! Hello there! (:

Sick & Tired

It all started with lunch at The Pump Room. Downward spiral. My diet, gone. I can feel myself getting fatter with each mouthful of junk food. Main kind of food yesterday at the Naming - dessert. YES. But oh god, did it feel good! Now though, not so. I feel miserable. Now, not only am I getting more sick, I am getting more fat. GREAT!


Preparation for the ceremony sucked. Had to stay in the office the entire week to work on office work and prep work for the Naming. Tiring. Most days, I knocked off after 9pm (remember I start at 0530). I'm sure this is against the law by the way! Preparing T cards, folding napkins, buying stuff, faxing this and that, calling people, ordering stuff, carrying stuff, arranging blah blah blah (never ending crap). It is exhausting. Mentally too. SIGH! No wonder I'm sick. I don't get to workout (SAD!!!!), eat home cooked meals, slack. It was a horrible week. Thank god it is over now...


Yesterday was a disaster. Maersk working committee got the first boat, kenki 26 (damn fast), at 0630. Of course, people were late, so thank god we ordered the water taxi. When we reached the rig at approxiamtely 0620, the brouhaha started. The cage wasn't down and we had to wait for 15 minutes. My mum started making a big scene and panicking. Argh! Sucked.

Going up by cage is shiok! Man, I love the height! And Crane op Shag is so funny. I like him! He is the only one who calls me beautiful. Haha. Thank you! But I shy la. He said that over the speakers. Paiseh!


We were behind schedule so we had to rush. Plus the people in charge of certain tasks on the rig didn't do as they were told. It meant we had to do our tasks and theirs as well. FULL OF SHIT. I had to run like a mad woman between the decks despite being sick and extremely exhausted. We didn't get to eat breakfast as we planned. Luckily, I always pack food with me and have 2 breakfasts (:


Heng I didn't have to be flower girl. I vehemently refused to be. In the end, one of the Keppel girls handed the flowers to the Ambassador. The ceremony was pretty disappointing. All the preparation made me think it was gonna be damn fancy and stuff. But it seemed very small scale. There were so little people and the applause was so sparse and inaudible. I only enjoyed the breaking of the champagne bottle. NICE. After the ceremony, the girls had to wait outside the galley for the guests to arrive and hand out wet tissue after the rig tour. Waited for over half an hour. Legs really worn out by then after running up and down with safety shoes. The new safety officer is hilarious! Such a good sense of humour. James. Haha. He was standing around pretending he had knew what he was doing. Nice guy. Better than the previous one :/


The food. Evil. Had first round in the rec room and the second round in the galley. Realised there wasn't lobster in the rec rooms. Discrimination! The food was alright... Nothing special. But somehow I was gravitating more towards the dessert. Tried almost one of everything. And I had flavoured drinks, which I never have. So I feel terrible. All that sugar. Argh... Had a real upset stomach after eating everything. But that wasn't the end of the indulging. When we got back to the office, we saw all the Delifrance pastries that we ordered in case of wet weather and the boats had to be held back. We get them of course, since the weather was beautiful. I had one of almost everything too. Eclairs, tarts, chocolate mousse, madeleines... This still isn't the end. The whole team went out for dinner and beer at Raffles Marina. Had fried chicken, deep fried onion with mint dip, terriyaki chicken sandwich with fries, satay then 2 types of ice cream. SIN. Gluttony. Shit, I feel bad.

On my detox process again. Having soup for dinner this whole week. Just chicken, tofu, cabbage, peanut and CHILLI PADI! Must have chilli padi. If not no kick. Mmmm. Had to put more into my soup today. One chilli padi per bowl. SHIOK. Pedas. Plus, chilli padi is goooood. Can burn more after eating chilli la. And it's clearing my clogged nose. Haha. Thoroughly enjoying my soup now. Yummy (:
Planning my diet. 4-5 small meals. Green tea is a must after each meal. One thermos a day in total. Nestum/oatmeal for breakfast with a glass of oat/soya milk. Second breakfast should be either tuna/scrambled egg/peanut butter sandwich. Lunch will be either one of those sandwiches plus yogurt/fruit. Next meal either yogurt or fruit. Dinner will be the same soup. Hopefully I will recover soon enough to continue my workouts. I hate being sedentary now. I can feel fat accumulating. SIGH!





There's just 3 days of work left. I gotta say goodbye soon ):


Missing you...

Sitting here counting the hours,
Waiting for the sun to kiss the sea.

Nacho Cheese!

I spent 40 minutes at Subway, ordering 18 6" sandwiches for the meeting. I smelled like Subway after that. No more floral smell. Attending the meeting wasn't my idea, I protested, but it doesn't work like that with my mum. She is sooooooo evil these few days. Just torturing me. SIGH! 3 days in the site office and I have a pimple breakout. If you "join the dots" on my face, you will see a very nice 4 letter word! ARGH (not the 4 letter word)!!! So pissed. So stressed. Just not my week. Bad week! But ending each day nicely! (: So I don't hiam ok! (((((((((((((((((((((((:
Conflicting emotions. Very odd.
Don't know if I should be smiling or whining now.

Yesterday was lunch with the crew at The Pump Room (coincidence?!). All that booze. OIM had 10 hard liquors. NICE. Double tonic! I can't even finish 5 glasses of water and he can finish 5 double tonics. That takes skill! Was also really reluctant about going. I just find it so awkward. I don't know this people. They are more than twice my age. What the hell could we possibly talk about?! They were also aware that I was feeling out of place, so they tried to entertain me. Key word "TRIED". But gotta admit, OIM is a really nice guy. Could see he was trying his best to make me comfortable (: Thank goodness safety guy wasn't there. PHEW! Spent $1031 on that lunch. Really sinful. Enjoyed the indulging. Amazing self saucing chocolate pudding. I gotta have that again in a few months! (((((: Anyone interested? (:

Work is ending soon! I've got that bittersweet feeling again. I get more rest, more time to myself, more control of my diet and exercise. Basically, more time to do what I wanna do. But but but!!! I miss the guys! I already do ): I will remember all the fun times slacking in the pump room. All the drama, I will remember too! Ah fond memories! I'm becoming more emotional. Haha.

I'm pretty sure more shit is gonna be hurled my way tomorrow. How I wish I could throw someone in front of me to be a human shield! AHHH! But SIGH! Guess I have to take all of this as a learning experience. Work in future is never gonna be this easy. I have to prep myself to be Managing Director someday! YES YES! I can do it! *Forced smile*
HAHA! Oh my... I must be losing it!!!

He took Evan's Doritos today! His comments were really interesting (:

Shit happens

Oh well... It's probably big news now. It's pretty F-ed up but it's ok. I will deal with it somehow. Everything is just being blown right out of proportion. It's so sickening. I know it's my fault though. I cannot shirk responsibility. But if I lay hands on that bastard, I swear I will KEEEEEEL him. Shit!

She's not home yet. Don't know what's going to happen later. Pray things don't blow up.

Can't say it was a horrible day though. Sigh. Really bittersweet kinda feeling.



I know it isn't easy for you. But you don't have to go around saying nasty things about me to everyone just because you are angry. I will not stand for this. You want me to fuck off, now I want you out of my life too. It's much easier that way. I hate your sarcasm. I hate who I see now. Guess my decision was right.
