Woke up this morning with a bad stomachache and was so bad that I could not get to work. Basically answering phone calls and liasing on today's business operations before heading to see a doctor. Was quite annoyed today as a colleague of mine totally doesn't know his job scope at all and does not want to make decision. It angers me that he doesn't take ownership of his work. ARGH!
Anyway, skipped Latin classes again and very upset with myself. Have already skipped for the third week and next week will be the final lesson. Now, I am not sure if I wanna go as my friend Aileen sms-ed me to inform that the dance syllabus already finished and now is just practising. Will see how things go next week I guess.
Did something surprisingly today. I messaged JM on MSN. Did not want to initially as I was thinking that if he wanted to talk to me, he would have messaged me. Maybe because I am still missing him lotsa, I chose to initiate the chat. Hmm, we chatted quite a bit and as usual, it was relaxing and comfortable. Nonetheless, I would have preferred him informing me if he were leaving the chat and not left me replying to his MSN messages only to be ignored. He mentioned that he missed me and much as I wanted to believe him, I tried to keep my emotions checked. Am constantly reminding myself not to care too much least I get hurt again. Did feedback to him to be more sensitive towards my feelings and hope that moving forward, he would really try to. Anyway, we would be meeting for lunch tomorrow and I am actually looking forward to it. :)
Since my swim yesterday, I have been feeling very motivated to swim more. As such, am also contemplating getting new swimwear. Since I am too fat to look nice in my bikinis now, will be getting myself a new set of tankini.
Trying to choose from either one of these two sets of lovely tankinis from Victoria's Secret. The tribal print looks so sexy but much as I love it, I am concerned if my fair complexion can carry it off. The summer lace tankini in black is simple yet elegant. In a dilemma on which set to get now and I have to make a decision by this weekend. Somebody, help!

The 3 Victoria's Secret tops I ordered arrived. The most gorgeous is the Tie-front Bra Top tank in Red although I love all 3 tops. Now that I know the size fits, I will probably be getting 1 or 2 dresses and perhaps another set of bikini this weekend. Hmm, pretty clothes make me so happy!
Today marks my virgin swim after my LASIK. I have not felt so good for a long time. Went to Delta Swimming Complex today as it is near my office. Gave up on hotel or club or condominium pools as they are not as clean and I always have rashes after that.
Although public swimming pool is more crowded and not as private, I must say the public pools are much cleaner, probably because they filter the water every minute due to the high utility by the public. Note that this is just my point of view as I have very sensitive skin so don't start going on about how nice your club pool is and it won't rash me!
Oh, by the way, ate quite a bit today but well, at least I exercise. :)
Breakfast:
2 Oranges
Lunch:
3 pieces of Sushi, 1 cup of Chawamushi, 6 slices of Salmon Sashimi, 4 slices of Maguro Sashimi, 3 pieces of Octopus & Hot Green Tea (a.k.a. Ocha)
Dinner:
KFC's 2 pieces Chicken in Original flavour, 1 cup of Whipped Potato, 1 cup of Coslaw & 1 cup of Hot Tea
Exercise:
30 Crunches in the morning
15 Swimming Laps at night (After dinner)

After attending endless meetings in London and Doha, Jake finally touched down today and sms-ed me. I was surprised to receive his sms in the evening. This is so unlike him and I realise that he has been contacting me everytime he gets back to Singapore.
What puzzled me more is that throughout the sms-es exchange, he was trying to find out if I am dating any guy now and if I miss him. He also commented about how his addiction to work can be reduced (i.e. less travelling) if he can be addicted to me once more. I was pretty amused by him. The reason why we didn't work out was because he was forever travelling and I only got to meet him at wee hours at some hotel lounge after his conference calls. Either that, or he would be calling or sms-ing me from some red eye flight. Honey, I know you love your job but I don't wanna be always waiting for you! Boohoo!
Anyway, I have resoluted not to date workaholics and I intend to abide to it. And so, darling, you got to try harder!

Since I declared myself officially fat, I really decide to do something about it. I mean, it sure doesn't feel good when your ex-colleagues told you that you did not used to have tummy and now you do. And now, I am determined to shed some pounds.
Spoke to my mum and my colleagues today on not snacking and also not eating excessively. Had wanted to reach for my Meiji Yan Yan in my drawer at late noon but both my underwriters stopped me, reminding me that I was not supposed to eat chocolate. Woah, they are really wonderful colleagues.
So, for the first time in months, I did not have chocolate! Well, it is quite a feat cos for the past year, I have been eating either chocolate or ice-cream everyday! Yah, I know you must be thinking that explains why Jane is such a pig now! *OINK*
Now, let's see what I have eaten or done today.
- Skipped breakfast as I was in a rush.
- Lunch: Prawn Bee Hoon Soup
- Dinner: Yong Yau Foo (before going facial)
- Had 2 oranges at about 10pm
- Did 30 crunches at about 12mn
Seems like a healthy day and I hope to maintain. Yes, gonna stop whining and act on it. One golden rule is to NOT eat after 8pm. Wish me luck!

Slept at 6am and woke up at 10am to prepare for Tango lesson. As usual, lesson was quite fun and had lunch at Sakae Sushi @ Wheelock Place with Francis and Qiumei. Valerie was supposed to join us but didn't due to her skin allergy and wanting to go home rest. I was so full from lunch and ate so much!
Went shopping after lunch but only managed to comb Wisma Atria. I got myself a pink overalls from Southaven and a belt from Mango @ Isetan. Unfortunately, nothing caught Qiumei's fancy. Anyway, we decided to shop again another time. Honestly, there were lotsa clothes I could have bought due to the sale but in view that I would be going Bangkok soon, I really stopped myself. Was constantly reminding myself that I could get this or that in Bangkok! Haha!
As Qiumei was heading home for dinner, I met up with some ex-colleagues for dinner at Glutton's Bay @ Esplanade. Glutton's Bay is the brainchild of Esplanade CEO Benson Puah, who first discussed the idea with Mr Seetoh, chief executive of Makansutra, over a meal of beef kway teow at Katong. Anyway, here's what the 6 of us ordered to share...

Roti Toast, to be dipped in Kaya
Sambal Kangkong
Fried Hokkien Mee
Chicken Satays
Ketupat (rice cake) & Onion
Fried Oyster Omelette
Stingray
Chilli La La
BBQ Chicken Wings
We were really amazing as we finished almost all the food. Now, I feel like a real glutton! Glutton's Bay is quite breezy for a hawker centre but I reckon it's because it's near the river. I like the open air concept and is not stuffy like Lau Pa Sat. All the food ordered was quite decent except for the satays, which we feel that the sweet peanut sauce is not so nice. Afterall, it is the peanut sauce that will determine how delicious our local satays are!
After dinner, we walked to Marina Square's Coffee Club for coffee. I had a pot of rosebud tea and felt better now. That is, at least not too bloated now. Haha. Seriously, today has really been quite a glutton-y day for me having ate so much at Sakae Sushi during lunch then such a widespread dinner at Glutton's Bay.
My ex-colleagues commented I gained weight and I really think I should start doing something about it. I don't wanna keep whining and not do anything about it so I decide not to get started here. Will just try to plan my schedule amidst my hectic working life now to fit in swimming and inline skating again. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Mummy is not working today and I am finally able to go with her for the postponed spa session today.
The massage was so relaxing and I could feel how stressed I had been for the past weeks. Even my masseuse commented on how stiff my neck and shoulders were. I certainly felt more rejuvenated after the hour long massage followed by body scrub and ending with jacuzzi. Mummy truly enjoyed this experience and felt her limbs were more relaxed now.
After spa, I brought Mummy to Courtyard @ Rendezvous Hotel for dinner. It was BBQ buffet dinner with quite a variety. The main draw was the barbecued prawns, cray fishes and crabs. The sambal belachan there was so good that we dipped almost all our food in it.
There was this cute chef barbecueing the food and was chatting me up. He basically asked if I was local since I am so fair. I told him I do seasports and inline skate, which he found unbelievable. And guess what? Mr Cute-Chef invited me to go scuba diving with him. He even recommended me a supposedly good diving school. I just thanked him politely and told him I would check out the diving school and probably see him there. I quickly scurried to my table after that.
Rendezvous' Courtyard is pretty cosy and I kinda like it. Had wanted to go for a drink at the Palong Lobby Bar there but Mummy was tired.

Palong Lobby Bar @ Rendezvous Hotel.
This bar looks like a nice chill-out place.
Will check it out soon!

Because we were so full from the dinner, we walked to Plaza Singapura to shop a while before calling for a cab. I got myself a pair of brown capri pants from G2000 at a steal. Usual price was $43 and going at $19 now. DBS cardholder has additional 15% discount and that makes my capri pants to be $16.15. It was so cheap that I was tempted to get more than a pair but Mummy was waiting for me to make payment and err, glaring at me. So I decided to just purchase one pair!
Hmm, I am such a good girl ya. And of course a very happy girl now after a relaxing massage, a sumptuous dinner and a good bargain from shopping. What more can I ask for? :)

Had dinner at KimGary restaurant with the underwriters before catching Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer at Vivo City. The food at KimGary was surprisingly decent and all of us enjoyed the food. Charmaine had an event and only joined us for movie.

The two supportive underwriters I work very closely with!
Meiyin is Charmaine's underwriter but we do hang out sometimes!
We were both in pink!
法兰西多士 - SGD2.80
We shared this. So yummy!
Thumbs up! Typical Hongkong style.
Ordered this and you will not regret!
芝士鸡翅 - SGD4.90
Definitely worth ordering!
Am surprised a chinese restaurant can blend cheese so well with the dish.
The grilled chicken wings tasted so cheesily wonderful!
火腿蛋辛辣面 - SGD6.50
Sok Hui ordered this and was mediocre.
The noodles tasted like instant noodles.
I like the spicy soup though.
密汁烧炬排骨香菇饭 - SGD7.50
This rice oozed such mushroom fragrance!
Ai Hwa did not regret ordering this.
The ribs tasted pretty bland though.
Should order mushroom rice with either chicken or pork chop instead.
避风塘香辣排骨面 - SGD8.50
I ordered this and regretting it!
The pork chop inside was not too bad.
But the spicy soup was ladened with lotsa garlic.
For anyone who wanna order, please tell the server NOT to put garlic!
瑞士芝士炬咖哩鸡扒 - SGD10.50
Meiyin won best-ordered food that night!
The cheese was so yummy and the chicken chop so tender!
So, chinese restaurants can indeed produce superb cheesey dishes!
A Must-Try!
Mango & Coconut Milky Lure 芒果椰子奶露 SGD3.90
Fresh Milo Milk Ice Blended 鲜奶Milo沙冰 SGD3.70
Yogurt Blended 优格沙冰 SGD3.70
Fresh Milo Milk Ice Blended tasted too rich.
Yogurt Blended is so boring!
For my friends who would like to give this place a try, here is the restaurant's information.
香港金加利茶餐厅
Hong Kong KimGary Restaurant
#02-128, Vivo City

Finally got my accomodation confirmation at Centre Point Service Apartment Petchburi in Bangkok. Air tickets and travel insurance are ready too. Oh, I am so looking forward to my trip.
Work has been so crazy and I am so tired. Will be going Bangkok with Mummy from 4th-8th August. This time, we will relax (i.e. massage, spa etc), eat, shop and do nothing else. I am tempted not to bring my mobile phone there but doubt it is possible. Sure hope that I don't end up checking and replying to emails during this trip. Still keeping my fingers crossed.
Yet another Bangkok trip and I have every intention to shop lotsa there. It's the Great Singapore Sales now and I have been refraining from buying any clothes for the past month. I shall continue to endure and save up now for my Bangkok shopping. Sighz!

It has been a stressful day. It was work non-stop till 8.30pm since I stepped into office in the morning. Had a quick lunch today and did not even get to sip any water till I left office. Missed my Latin Cha Cha and Latin Samba lessons and feeling damn sour over it. I could not help it as I needed to finish up the presentation slides for tomorrow discussion.
I was really exhausted, especially since I only slept two hours last night. Had lotsa on my mind and could not sleep till nearly 6am. I felt so much like tearing my hair while in office earlier. *SOBZ*
Well, at least I know my boss better now. He is very particular about punctuality. His face was so black when he came to my workstation at 2.15pm asking why had not started on the meeting. I then told him 2pm and his face immediately darkened and he said, "You arranged for 2pm and now you tell me 2.30pm?" I quickly scurried out of my seat and to the meeting room with SH whom I was discussing on how to present for the meeting later.
In fact, the Boss was the one who suggested 1.30pm meeting but I thought it was still lunch time so pushed to 2pm. I did not arrange 2pm! In any case, it was partly my fault for not being fully prepared. After the meeting, he was emphasizing on how he wanted to start meetings on time too and to give ourselves some buffer time in between. I know what he meant and so, yes Boss, we will work towards that and hmm, I am sorry I was late.
Interestingly, our department is gradually starting to know the Boss. Managing his expectations and working well with him is absolutely crucial. I do hope to have an amiable and fruitful working relationship with the Boss afterall. I never like a hateful working environment and it is so far so good now with my great bunch of colleagues.
Had a full dinner earlier about 10pm. This is really bad. I mean, late dinners are really bad. I do dance and inline skate now. But the problem is, late dinners will still make me fat. And yes, I am oh, so fat! As what Tiffany said, time to exercise! BooohoOO!!

Wine last night with Peter was nice. We had Montana Sauvignon Blanc, a New Zealand white wine. Peter prefers red wine but he readily suggests white upon reaching this wine place at Dempsey Road. Very sweet of him.
Unfortunately, Peter hates seeing his picture(s) anywhere and forbids me from putting up our picture on my blog. *SULK* Anyway, enjoyed the wine and both of us had a nice chat. I shared quite a bit with him and he did not criticise or comment much, just listen patiently. I really appreciate that. Hmm, that's what a pal should be like. Thanks for the evening my dear friend!
Err, please IGNORE my elephant thighs!

Decided to blog while lazing around now before preparing to go out later. Meeting Peter for drinks. Feeling upset and told Peter to take care of me in case I get drunk later. Sighz.
Lotsa thoughts are racing across my mind now and my heart aches. I hate fights. Generally, I am not exceptionally nice to guys but I have been exceptionally giving towards him. Now, it really hurts when all he can say is that he has had enough of my BS.
I have never faulted him for not being able to promise me anything, simply because I really enjoyed the time spent.
I have tried to be as understanding as I can, simply because I want him to be happy and it makes me happy to know that he is happy.
I have been as cheery as I can and not let my emotional turmoil affect him, simply because I do not want him to feel bad or lousy when with me.
But now, I realise, amidst all that I have tried or done, as long as anything makes him uncomfortable or distressed, it will become my fault. And suddenly, I am so intolerable and detestable.
The feeling of being abandoned is so overwhelming this time, when he chose to walk away once more. Without proper talk again. Without listening to me again. I know what he will say later. That he needs to cool down so he rather stays away. What he doesn't know is how terrible I feel whenever he chooses to turn away.
Perhaps this is what humans are like, to only care for their own emotions and neglecting others. Taking matter in their own stride and thinking that, what they think is always of the best interest. Without noting the other party's thoughts at all.
Well, everything seems clearer now and I am more calm. It is painful to know that someone whom you genuinely care about only have thoughts of you anguishing him. It is especially more agonising when you know that all you have ever tried to do is your best.
No, I am not in love with him. Perhaps, like what he said before, he would never allow himself to love me. Neither will I. We both know that it's gonna end one day. We just don't know when. Well, maybe it will and should end now. I never like inflicting any pain on people or have people accusing me of doing so.
Life is beautiful and I have been a very fortunate girl with wonderful friends. Like now, I gonna go shower after this and Peter gonna be fetching me for wine. He has always been by my side when I need him. Thanks dear! And lucky me has many more of such friends, whom I definitely will cherish.
Thank you, all my friends, for caring for me the way you do and never faulting me deliberately. I know, I will never be abandoned by all of you...

Since I still can't get to sleep, just thought I will pen about people around me (whom I have met or spoken to recently) currently.
Anthony is down with sore throat and fever. The bad throat has persisted for weeks. Poor thing. Hope he gets well soon and his business picks up soon too. He has been kinda stressed out the past 2 weeks. Good luck ya!
Charmaine is going Bangkok in July and both of us are still as busy with work. I gonna have hell covering for her when she is away man! Nonetheless, I still love this babe. Oh yah, and we are going clubbing this Wednesday! Haha!

Dave is going to Los Angeles this coming Sunday for a working trip and he promises to get me nice babydolls, chemises, v-strings, tank top and boxsies from Victorias Secret! He invites me to go some beach resort together for a weekend getaway when he is back. Now, that got to see if our schedules can gel together.
Francis is going Tioman sometime soon but not confirmed when. I gonna miss this Tango and Inline Skate buddy when he is away. :( In any case, I hope he enjoys himself with Linda during this short trip.
Ken's birthday is coming but he is still in Korea. On Independence Day. As July approaches, I am starting to miss him. Two years ago, while he was away on an adventure holiday in Burma (he did ask me along but because it was too last minute notice, I could not), I could only email him to wish him Happy Birthday and when he got back to Singapore, I promised to spend every birthday with him. But last year, he was still in Korea. This year, he will probably be in Korea too. Sighz. Am kinda sad as I have not been hearing from him recently.

KTsold his Mercedes-Benz CLK, at a loss of at least $150k. But he is going Milan next week for holiday. Lucky dude. He suggests going with him and his friends to Bangkok in mid-July but I am going Bangkok on early August with Mummy. Hmm, will see how when he is back from Milan. I don't mind going Bangkok twice actually. Haha!
KW is away in Australia now after coming back from Kuala Lumpur last week. Must be enjoying himself while skiing away in Down Under. Oh well, he is sorta my movie kaki now so got to wait for him to be back before catching a show together. Oh, perhaps he may get me a Koala bear when he is back!

Peter is having his holidays now and we were supposed to meet for drinks last week but did not get to. Must try to catch each other this week for drinks! We had wine the last time we met and I kinda enjoyed it. Been a while since we chill and I really wanna spend some time with him since he is free during the school holidays now.
Phyllis is starting school soon but I will still see her every Sunday for Tango. I will miss partying with her. The next time we can party together again will probably be 6 months later during the December school holidays.
PW is off to India to attend his cousin's wedding. I had meant to meet up with him before he flies off tomorrow but he has just been too busy. He is just saying that he will get me a nice pashmina shawl. Hope he remembers! I love cashmere or pashmina shawls from India as they are all genuine and feel so warm.
Sam has been working 16 hours a day and 7 days a week and I have not heard from him for a few weeks. Got his sms just a few hours ago on meeting up for dinner after his super peak work period. Looking forward to it!
Yanling just got back from Hongkong with her boyfriend. Am so glad that her bf finally find time to go on a trip with her. This means a lot to her and I am sure my dearie here is a happy and blessed girl now.
Zijun's birthday is coming and we will be celebrating for her on end June. She would like a working bag for birthday present and wanna have japanese food. Hmm, time to start shopping for dear Zijun's present! Also, does anyone have any nice japanese restaurant to recommend?

That's all I can recall for now. Well, actually there is someone who has been on my mind but I am still upset at him this very moment. I have never been of such low priority in anyone's life before, at least not someone I care so much about. So, I can't blame myself for not getting used to it. In fact, I don't really want to get used to it. The time spent during dinner or lunch was short and I truly enjoyed the company.
But now, I realise that it is not just about the short time spent or company enjoyed. If someone really cares for you, his action will tell. But if this person does not care enough to remember anything about you, why get yourself upset? Right. That should be it. I won't be upset. I am sure there will be others who will care for me genuinely. Life goes on and need to protect and love myself! :)

After dance yesterday, I went for lunch then back to office. Stayed till pretty late and went Geylang for Beef Bee Hoon, Butter Prawns and Dou Miao with Charmaine. We then headed to The Cheesecake Cafe for tea and blueberry cheesecake. Was so full but it was nice to just pig out and relax after work, especially on a Sunday!
Today is not much better. Finished work late too and Charmaine and I decided to go Lavender Food Square for Wanton Noodles. We shared Oyster Omelette too. So freaking full after that. Haha. Guess both of us got to agree that good food after a hard day work makes us happy.
Oh, coincidentally, during the meal, saw an unprofessionalbitch ex-colleague with her lover whom she was having an affair with openly. Was just telling Charmaine a little about them and one reason I left the company was due to unprofessionalism in people like them.
Anyway, back to us, both of us have been pretty stressed lately and I have a sinking feeling that the stress just gonna mount up till God knows when. We both agree to start swimming again and in fact, intend to start tomorrow! Currently, I still have Latin Cha Cha and Latin Samba lessons on Thursday, so we decide to swim every Monday and Wednesday tentatively. But because we are thinking of clubbing this Wednesday, we decide to swim tomorrow instead.
Well, think I will gauge my mood tomorrow morning then decide if wanna swim or not. Thinking of starting swimming only next week actually, but Charmaine is like so enthusiastic about it. Haha. Hmm, heck care, will just think tomorrow! Meanwhile, thinking if I should take full day leave on Thursday or just morning leave since I am partying on Wednesday. Now, after all the rattle, I just realise that these are nice distractions from my actual work problems! Bleah!

It has been about a week since I last blogged. It is amazing how the week just flew. It has been an hectic week with lotsa meetings, interviewing candidates for the account management position and most importantly, my performance appraisal.
My appraisal was on Monday morning and I took the whole night before to prepare my appraisal paper. Apparently, what I wrote did not seem to be what my Marketing Manager wanted and after my appraisal, I had to do quite a lot of amendments. Because I was so busy the next few days after, I only handed in the final appraisal paper on Friday, and that was after burning midnight oil till 2am to complete!
The only highlight of the week was partying with Phyllis on Wednesday. Florence was supposed to join us but she pulled disappearance act on us and only sms-ed after midnight on why she could not turn up. Well, she had wanted to come down after that but both Phy and me thought it was no point. Actually, both of us were quite tired before heading out but because I thought Florence was keen to join us so we decided to go ahead anyway. This was very bad for me as I had a meeting the next morning at 9am. Nevertheless, we enjoyed ourselves very much.
Arrived at The Clinic @ The Cannery slightly past 11pm and the music was not bad at first but changed later on, which Phy and me were kinda bored. There was a bunch of Prudential agents (all guys) next to us and kept talking to us. I did not really want to elaborate more this always happens when I party. I just can't emphasize how much I want the guys to leave me alone!

Anyway, we eventually left for Zouk about 2.45am as we were craving for retro. Got there at 3am and partied till 4am. Shared a jug of Purplehaze with Phy while we danced away. It was really nice and coincidently, there were some transvestites there and hmm, they did put up some erotic dancing on the platform. Strangely, many people seemed awed by them and kept looking at them. Phy too kept looking and happily snapping their pictures! Haha. We managed to take pictures of ourselves at Zouk too though.
By the time I got home and showered was already 5am and I only slept 2 hours before preparing to go for my 9am meeting. I was so tired at the meeting and by noon, I looked horrible. My colleagues kept asking why I looked so tired and I told them to try sleeping 2 hours and see what happen. Bleah!
And so, because I was dead beat on Thursday, I skipped my Latin Cha Cha and Latin Samba and had dinner with someone, whom as usual, I enjoyed the company with tremendously. :)
Friday was the usual at work but I finally caught Shrek 3, with my colleague, Sok Hui. Had dinner at Suki Sushi at Cineleisure before going for our movie. Shrek 3 is hillarious. I think I enjoy funny yet not-so-meaningful movie too. It was still early when the movie ended but Sok Hui wanna go home so I met up with a friend for drinks. Went to Cuba Libre at Clarke Quay and the latin band was great. Enjoyed the music but did not dance as we just sat and chatted there. Managed to have Haagen Daz ice-cream for supper at 1.30am before he sent me home. It was a sweet Friday.
Was slacking at home the whole Saturday and later on, going for Tango lesson. Had stopped Tango for 2 months and am so glad we are finally starting again. May go back office join Charmaine clear some work after Tango then have dinner with her. May shop a bit too. Hmm, I am looking forward to it already!

It was Jenny's birthday on Friday and she sms-ed me pretty last minute to meet up. We ended up having dinner at Station Kitchen then going directly to Movida. Her friend, Jef, who just got back from overseas, was with us too.
Had a real filling dinner and finally danced it out at Movida which was super crowded. Although we managed to get a table (all thanks to Jenny), it was like hijacked by some foreigners when they requested to put their bottle of whiskey on our table. Before we knew it, they were like occupying the whole table!
In any case, am just glad Jenny had a fun birthday celebration. That is most important.

Saturday was a colleague, Gina's wedding dinner, held at The Oriental. It is quite a nice hotel and she invited quite a number of colleagues too. Food was not bad but dinner started really late about 9pm. I was famished. Nonetheless, it was an enjoyable occasion and I am so happy for her.
Dinner ended slightly after 11pm and I felt kinda bad to make my friend, KT, wait outside for me. He arrived about 10.45pm to pick me up and was pretty patient about the whole thing. We had wine by the beach after the dinner. Cool breeze and I loved it there. Chatted till about 3am before going for a quick snack at Hongkong Cafe then he sent me home.
Really enjoyed the company. I am glad I did not shut myself out by refusing to go out with him. My friends are right. It is only when I try going out with someone new then I will know if I can enjoy going out with the person. Well, I certainly did enjoy KT's company tremendously. Can consider going out more often now. :)
Anyway, got home about 6am and slept about 7am. Was woken up at 12pm but went back to dreamland till about 2pm. Haha. I feel like a pig! OINK!

Had Latin Cha Cha and Latin Samba today. Could not get to leave office earlier and was 15 minutes late. Was kinda busy today. Also, Latin Samba is just so tough. I can't seem to do the 3-spot turn well enough. Got to try harder next lesson.
On a happier note, Anthony was sweet enough to come pick me and bring me to Rochor for "tau huay" before sending me home. In fact, I called him after my dance and he rushed down. Hmm, I do appreciate the nice gesture there! Haha.
So, had "tau huay", went home and ate some food too. Feeling so full now! :(

Cleared some work in office before heading for a business lunch at Al Dente. The food was quite nice but as usual, I am not really thrilled about business lunches. Really got lotsa to follow up and work on after that lunch meeting!
The day was slow after that and I left office early about 5.30pm to go for my manicure and pedicure at Flaunt. There were 2 manicurists today attending to me and I was done in an hour. It was so relaxing for me and I felt happier. I tried to do my nails every 3 weeks but this time round, it has been 4.5 weeks. What with work on weekdays and inline skating on weekends for the past month, I really could not squeeze time to pamper myself into having pretty nails. The fingernails were a nice shade of mute pink and the toenails dark bronze. I love them!
Next was meeting my ex-colleagues for dinner at Vivo City. Had a belated birthday celebration for Grace and we caught up lotsa. It was nice meeting up with them. The last we met up was my birthday celebration in March. Anyway, Grace was really happy that we gave her a belated birthday celebration although there were only 5 of us this round.
It was indeed an eventful day and I felt that I had done lotsa. It's gonna be a fresh new day tomorrow and I am looking forward to it already. Hmm, hope that the dinner appointment after department meeting tomorrow will actualise. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Oh, by the way, remember I did mention about starting swimming. Well, have not done so because I have been so busy. Yes, yes, I know this is an excuse. I will try my best to pack swimming into my schedule ya. Meanwhile, let me hanker after these lovely bikinis from Victoria's Secret.

Worked whole of Saturday and slept till 1.30pm today. Slacked around at home before going for Inline Skating Evaluation at 5.30pm. Err, did not clear my Evaluation.
This time round, the instructor did the Evaluation at the park instead of the Skating Rink. Did an A-Frame Turn and was supposed to Heel-Stop but because it was a slope and I could not stop in time, I actually fell. ARGH!
So, the instructor said this before passing me my orange booklet, "You know your mistake right?"
I laughed. "Yah yah, I promise to brake in time k!"
Headed home after my failed session and had dinner with Mummy. Has been a tiring weekend.

It is Friday today and should not be too busy, especially since production closed. However, the problem is, today is the day after a public holiday! It was Vesak Day yesterday and I basically slacked at home whole day, nursing my hangover from Wednesday. And today, going back to office, I was expecting the day to be slow. Unfortunately, it was not the case.
My handphone kept ringing since 9am and the moment I stepped into office, I was working non-stop handling cases. I did not even have time to sip a drop of water before rushing off for another meeting at 7pm which ended at 11pm. Yah, just got home and freaking tired.
Tomorrow is gonna be a long day with Latin Cha Cha in the morning then rushing for work again till night. Was feeling a little bad that I got to skip my Inline Skate lessons because of work but well, I hope that I can clear my Evaluation on Sunday.
Hmm, sure hope this weekend will pass soon so I can look forward to next week. Well well well, ENDURE!
