Flu-Ed

It started with a itchy parched throat last friday... Not to sure if it's due to the popcorn I ate..

The throat hurts that much that I'd contemplated in not singing for S3 when I woke up last morning .. But couldn't juz MIA.. Glad I did went ahead and DR AR Bernard was awesome! 

Throat didn't bother me that much until late afternoon as it got progressively irritating and I drank as if it was a water parade session.. :(

Was slightly better this morning but the thought of taking mc crossed my mind but didn't materialized .. Limited leave left.. And piling workload..

Not much of an appetite today.. Seemed like a fluid fast day..

Home-made Chicken soup that soothes

But guess this more effective ..

Flu... Go away!! 

New loot!!

Though I probably can get the tix to the bc birthday bash if I wanted to, I gave it a miss cuz Dr AR Bernard is here this weekend!
Satisfy my shopaholic crave by attending the Agnes b presentation launch for fall/winter @ isetan Scotts instead. Admit that I was enticed by the goodie bag - which there was a $20 Agnes b voucher enclosed, that I didn't know of until my 2nd purchase when the uber nice staff informed me!
Can't resist the 10% + 10% + bro's 5% isetan card disc.. And added two more pinky items to my wardrobe.. Saw this dress but nah, decided against it since I haen't deal with wardrobe explosion problem yet.. Perhaps during the hari raya long weekend..


My loot!

guess what'sin the box?!

I've been abusing my black pvc tote whose lining has just torn... but it was more than a year ago... i guess fully depreciated.. :) so this pinky caught my eye when i entered the boutique.. ;)

Oh.. in the goodie bag, there's like some other vouchers for the beauty upkeep - like waxing, brows trimming.. i think i will use the avena spa voucher.. i can use a back massage.. but the aunty nature felt the spa facial that cost twice as much is more worthwhile.. oo and eye glitter tub from Mac - the blue which i bought last year was at most 1% used.. :)

oo.. happy day... it's a pink day.. and no pun intended.. (pink was the official colour for the gay thing last year rite?)

Ooo.. Did I mention I got isetan shopping vouchers in return for my purchase.. Think it's $5 for every $50 spent!! ;) so it's a great deal!!

i love my apple!!

3 weeks ago, I did something that I've not done in ages - trading in my old phones - ( i only did that to those beyond warranty repairs - the samsung & SE - but it appears to be working fine..)

in turn, i got my apple.. :) which i'd ironically named it blackBerry cuz it's black in colour and my gadgets are xx-berry (cuz i like berries).

Yeah, by visual strawpoll, more than 50% of the mobile phone users on board the train are iPhone users - as commented by e, on our way home last evening.. and that's excluding us.. lol. Still, i'm glad to be one of the limited few (for now) to be using the square instead of curvy!

Having the options of zillions of apps available for downloading, i was spoilt for choice.. :) And ever since I'd downloaded this calorie counting app - myfitnesspal.. it made me (even more) conscious of the food consumed (which had started since I resumed training with e).. oh well, which was good cuz i aimed to shed a couple of more pounds - but nah, not that i'm aneroix but lighter me = faster speed!

So which i've been bring my own healthy munchies for lunch for past week .. :)

had been consuming a tub of yogurt daily.. think it's helping with the bloatedness! :)


Popped by the gym to complete the 1 out of 2 20km (cuz i missed one 20km last week.. cuz of the FM conference..) Did an alright timing (which was not to e's satisfaction..cuz that was not my best to date.. gosh he has a good memory...which he threatened to nullify if i do not do faster 2nd run.. ) gosh.. it's a running spree from thurs to sun since i've three more runs to complete before next week comes.. :o

some camwhoring after the workout...

  some function that i tried with the iphone photo-editing software...

ready...

hmp...not working..

 smile!!!

If

If I have the remote control rite now, I would have push the >> button.

Zzzzzz

Some think it's cool... I've no comments to that !

Yay ! It's finished!

Unexpected

Bored ...

If I know, I'd have u-turned... Sigh! hope this ends soon.. Tired ....

Excursion!

Went on an 'excursion' last sat- the finale event of my company's annual Finance Managers Conference. Felt like a tourist going on those land tour - perhaps that's how the overseas delegates felt.. 

Was an eye opener to view the plants, as well as the green initiatives of these two companies - which are part of the 'sustainable living' arm of the group. 
sites!

Turning refuse into energy that operate the plant as well as supplying the excess to the energy market - cool!  

Smell was bearable and much better than the refuse collection area in our hdb estate!

Amazing fact is that the plant process like tonnes rubbish daily!! Make me think twice of generating wastage since we are running out of landfill sites!

Thereafter, we headed to the DCS plant @ Biopolis .. 

Didn't know that the biopolis plot's cooling needs was supplied by the environmentally friendlier means of cooling- cuz carbon footprint reduced.

The walkthru' of the processes made me sorta miss science lessons .. ( afterall, read science subjects in school until varsity days! ) perhaps life will be more interesting as an engineer? Lol. Beats cooped up in office all the time! 

无聊； 无奈

真的无话可说。
都没把哪当成一回事，难以致信的是这却成为某人的心结。
哎。无奈。没着。

Psst...

Strangely, even when other's minding their own business and just simply chatting in a lower decibel, one thinks that the whispering parties are complaining about certain acts that one has done... Weird. There is no need to wash all linen in the public right? Especially if it doesn't concern you, why would you wanna know what's the whispering abt? Unless.. guilt strikes?

Cat "gosh.. Are you talking about me?"

Please, I've better things to do than that... Oh well, i think i ought switch on the safe mode when processing conversations in your presence. (*.*)"

Work out time after two days of feasting.. Perils of attending full day seminar @ hotels... 
Love my hearts-filled casing for my 'blackBerry apple'.. ;)

Transformation of the witch

New outfit for my gadget!! ;)

Now witch is transformed to snow white!! ;)

New name

Random shot taken while on course.. My new name - mione Ong... lol

it's here (like a week ago!)

After much awaiting for the never ringing call from"心跳", I decided to pop by the Bugis Hello shop last Wednesday to check if my much awaited phone is here.. And yippie, indeed it was there waiting to be picked up. 心跳 must be short-handed, hence forgotten to call us who placed order for the 32G. It was a lunch time well-scarified!

Peek-a-boo

It's here!!

My blackAppleBerry!

B-o-r-e-d

The pantry aunty must think that we are lil children.. She ordered 'abc' Marie biscuits for pantry supplies..
Formed a word that depicts my mood...

Steamboat-ed

Had a great evening last nite with lovely couple Caleb & Jadyn..

U-turned a couple of times due to some disparencies in preferences, still ended up in the original intended dining spot. At least the other contingent seems pleased despite our brief appearance. And from the fb status, i think it might be disastrous should we suggested not to stick to plan b but either revert to plan A or head to plan C.

It's kinda hot and stuffy last night, and al fresco dining ain't that appealing, especially prior to getting a coveted table without prior booking and with no promise when that will crystalise, (judging from queue and prior experience, it will take at least quarter of an hour or so), and with the nagging irksome dripping feeling within, waiting indefinitely was not a preferred choice. But, since plan A was certainly inferior to plan B's proposed, pointless to suggest a possible reversal rite.

Oh well, it was still a fun evening.. And satisfy my craving since Monday. I guess the cold weather must have triggered the craving for hot soupy stuff! And food taste better with the right crowd! Not to mention plan A is healthier alternative to finger food plan B. ;)
