Just got home from Cycle & Carriage 7th Month Dinner. We bidded the following items:
IONA Typhoon Fan @ $150 (Item No.: 2817) Laughing Buddha @ $500 (Item No.: 2871)
Bidded amount need only be paid next year. In fact, if you don't pay, they also won't chase but supposedly it is bad omen if you don't remember to pay. Well, I must definitely remember!
Oh, by the way, the item numbers of both items have the same digits. Lucky number eh? Think I will ask Mummy go buy IBET tomorrow! Hehe!
Food this year not as good as last year and I had red wine this time round. Our president went with my boss and a few other colleagues. Quite a fruitful session as we got to rapport with our partners.

New guy, Joel, coming in tomorrow. Bad time. We will be super busy tomorrow. Think our secretary got to help settle him down tomorrow while we battle away.
Was supposed to meet uni folks Cheryl and Zijun today for dinner but was postponed to next week. Cheryl was not feeling well and Zijun had a last minute meeting. Cheryl called and asked more about Roy while Zijun was sms-ing me amidst her meeting.
It was so funny. My friends are all super concerned about my love life. Perhaps they are worried that I will be left on the shelf. Haha. Throughout both conversation and sms exchange, the underlying question was clear: Why do you wanna date Roy instead of the rest of the other guys who were going after you?
Zijun bumped into Roy and me at Cineleisure on Sunday and earlier on over sms, commented that he does not look like someone I would date. She is right. My reply was, "The rest of the guys whom u think I would date also end up being ex-boyfriend, so someone different may not be a bad thing." Of course, it is not just about him being different. There are also certain traits.
Cheryl was cute. She asked if Roy was cute. I really don't know how to reply. I think he is average. However, the problem is, my friends are always chiding me when I say whichever guy is so-so when they find the guy cute. Oh well, maybe I can't tell what's cute. *SHRUG*
Anyway, end of the day, what's most important is who I am happy with, and I am happy with him. I can't say for how long but at least for now and the past month, I am. As I mentioned before, It still feels like a "First Date", even till now. Am basking in the sweet innocence. :)

The inside of my long-grown nails are quite dry and in fact, I have been applying cuticle oil then using cotton bud to massage. Decided to buy manicure bowl to soak both my hands upon applying cuticle oil (twice a week) for moisturising purpose too. Am even contemplating getting the orange wooden sticks to help push my own cuticles. This also means I have to buy cuticle remover.
Because I do my regular manicure and pedicure every 3 weeks, I don't think I need to trim my own cuticles. Argh. Not sure yet. I am so fascinated with my nails of late! Anyway, was just mentioning to Cheryl that I wanna get Nail Tek products from USA and was asking her if she wanna get OPI nail polishes. She seems keen. May order soon! :)
Other than nails, I have been obsessed with Avocado Juice/Milkshake too. 3 weeks ago, when my colleague was at Bukit Merah, I asked him to help me buy back a cup of Avocado. So yummy. Then 2 weeks ago, I insisted on having the Avocado milkshake from Four Seasons at Ang Mo Kio Hub. It was not so nice. Last week, while being Cheryl's nail model, I pestered Roy to search for Avocado milkshake for me too and finally after an hour, he returned with a cup for me. Unfortunately, it was still not as nice.
So, finally, today, I went down to Alexandra Village Food Centre at Bukit Merah Lane 1, to have my Avocado Juice. Amidst the afternoon downpour. Although I was freezing, I ordered a cup. So tasty! And then, I bought a cup back to office too. So, it's like 2 cups in a day. Haha. Felt so satisfied but kinda bloated.
Geesh, hopefully both fascination with nails and obsession with Avocado will end soon!

Today is my company's Family Day. Held at Sentosa's Palawan Beach from 9am - 2pm with an Amazing Race Challenge, Telematch, Tug-Of-War, some game stalls, food and drinks, I arrived with Roy at about 11am. It was freaking hot when it suddenly drizzled amidst the afternoon sun at about 2pm.
Was heading for the Sentosa Beach Station.
Cosy sitting arrangement huh?
Were waiting for the Tram to Palawan Beach.
Did not take any more pictures after that as I did not bring my digital camera. Pictures were taken using Roy's Nokia N95. Resolution not bad huh? Hehe. Actually, we were quite bored at Palawan Beach since we were both not participants. Well, it was quite an experience though, since I did not get to attend last year's Family Day as I was in Bangkok on holiday.
In any case, our team got second and Roy and I left after results were announced at 2.30pm. Had some dim sum at Food Republic before going for Ben & Jerry's at VivoCity. Was really tired though we did not do much. Must be the sun.
Anyway, rushed back home, took a short nap before going for Subaru's 7th Month dinner. Exhausted now. Good night!

Although I did my lovely manicure and pedicure on Saturday, I sacrificed my nails today to be Cheryl's Nail Model. Cheryl used to be a salesperson and currently quitted her job to learn this nail course.
For the past 2 weeks, she was asking me to be her nail model and I was rather sceptical. But since it was her exam today and she asked me, I obliged.
Very amateurly done but well, I know she did her best.
Some of the nail polish was seen outside the nail.
Simple Nail Art done but err, the flowers very big leh!
Actually, not too bad. Just got to get used to it.
Think I will let this stay for a week before my next mani and pedi session!
Cheryl passed her exams. Of course. Haha. Actually, there wasn't much for her to do anyway as I just had my nails done on Saturday. Not much cuticle, she need not trim and the shaping was easy. Even her teacher commented that she got not much work to do with me as her Nail Model. Haha.
By the way, my nails are real. Weird that so many people thought that I did extension for my nails. Booohooo!

Went to Mercedes-Benz Center with Boss and his Regional Boss, followed by the other C&C showroom. By the time I got back office, was 12.30pm. Busy preparing some documents then went for late lunch with Charmaine. Not much appetite.
My facial appointment was scheduled at 6pm but I was asked to attend a meeting at 5.45pm. Argh. Only reached Beauty 21 at 7pm. Thank God Mary was nice enough and did not chase me off though she was fully packed.
Felt so much better after my facial. Went to meet Charmaine at Centrepoint Macdonald for dinner after that. Her facial appointment was at 6.30pm and ended before me. We were both tired.
Tomorrow's gonna be a tiring day. Sensitive discussion topic to be raised at work tomorrow. Need to prepare myself. Sigh. To make things worse, I am feeling more depressed cos still fat.
Wanna go swim tomorrow but with a 3.30pm external appointment, by the time rush back office to clear work, the pool will be closed. Hopefully can get to do some crunches tomorrow. Was tired earlier so did not do. Boohoo. Yah, I know what you thinking... it's no wonder Jane is a pig! *OINK*

Went to office, cleared some work then met Roy at Sim Lim Square for lunch and to purchase some items as sponsorship prizes.
Got a JVC Home Theatre System with 5 Speakers and Subwoofers, 1 2GB ZEN PLUS Mp3 Player and 1 Canon IXUS 70. Decided to lug the items back to office before we went for coffee at the nearby TCC.
Was initially sitting here but Roy got giddy after a while.
We shared this but still could not finish.
Think there is some sweet sauce inside the filling too.
Cripsy!
It was pouring while we were having coffee at TCC and we finally managed to grab a cab back home to have dinner with Mummy.
Dammit. I am FAT. :(

bbq chicken quarter, served with baby back pork ribs and king prawns.
10 oz. of New Zealand imported tender prime rib of beef, slow roasted and served with Garlic Herb Butter.
Medium Rare. Yummy.
Side dishes are Coslaw and French Fries.
Another surprise awaited me. After the date, he just sprung me with "I know I said I was not ready but now I am ready. To be with you. Give me a chance."
I was like, "Huh? You drunk or what?" Then, I kept quiet throughout the whole ride home. When he was at my door, he just said for me to think about us and he would see me again soon.
I was a little disturbed. Did not see it coming. And honestly, since some time ago, I already did not expect us to have anything going. Argh. I am in trouble.
On a happier note, I did my nails this afternoon at Ang Mo Kio Hub Nail Palace. Pretty colour! :)
Bright colour huh?

The doc mentioned that there was an abscess on Roy's tonsils and the doc actually removed that abscess. In any case, Roy was so much better today and ate quite a bit. The doc said that he may be discharged tomorrow if his headache or fever does not attack tonight.
Strangely, amidst my busy work schedule today, I thought of JM. Not sure why but he just crossed my mind. I miss MSN chats and lunch together with him. As I have been rather busy of late, I do not even have time to log on to MSN. He used to sms me more often but not anymore. He said it is because he is not familiar with using Blackberry now. Oh well, perhaps it's out of sight, out of mind. *SHRUG*
August gonna be busy, especially on weekends with Jeff's birthday this Saturday, Family Day and Subaru's 7th Month Dinner next Saturday and meeting ex-colleague the Saturday after next. Since there is no Tango this and next Sunday, I may consider going inline skating or swimming. Gonna try to exercise and stop being lazy!
Speaking of Jeff, he has been sms-ing me daily for the past 2 weeks. I was surprised and sms-ed him to ask why but dear Jeff got all defensive.
Me: Err, you have been sms-ing me daily, which is so unlike you. Why so huh?
Jeff: If you don't like it, then tell me. I won't bother you again. Friends should not be keeping each other at a distance. Unless you don't want to be my friend.
Me: Woah. Cool it. Why are you so defensive? That's not what I mean. Was just genuinely wondering why you are sms-ing me all of a sudden. Don't be silly. Who says anything about not wanting to be friends?
And his reply totally stunned me.
Jeff: Yes, I am silly, all for you. You said before that I can start sms-ing you when I know what I want. And now I know what I want... I was just kidding when I asked you to intro girls to me but you always saddened me by saying that I only know you just so as to know other girls.
Me: Well, if there is an opportunity, I can intro you some of my friends. Just that most of my gal friends are attached.
Jeff: Attached also can get to know what. Just friends only mah. Not like I must go after any girl I know. Someone like you is more than enough for me to handle!
Me: Duh. I know attached can get to know but problem is, I myself hardly have a chance to meet up with my gal friends who are attached.
Jeff: Oic. I understand. Let's chat on Saturday. Really want to see you soon.

He had his tonsils removed (tonsillectomy) this afternoon. The way he described the surgery to me sounded pretty painful. Ouch. The doctor mentioned that he needs to be warded for at least 3 days in case of complications. Poor thing.
What Is Tonsillitis?
Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils. It is caused by either a virus or a bacterium (usually the bacterium known as streptococcus - the same bacterium that causes "strep throat"). Tonsillitis mostly occurs in young children.
What Are Tonsils?
The tonsils are a pair of small almond-shaped organs located of the mouth on both sides of the throat. The adenoids are similar to the tonsils but are located in the upper portion of the throat behind the nose, where they can't be seen.
Facts About Tonsillitis:
What Are The Symptoms Of Tonsillitis?
The main symptom of tonsillitis is a sore throat. It may develop either suddenly or gradually. It may be either mild or severe.
Because the tonsils are swollen and enlarged, you may have trouble speaking and may even experience difficulty breathing.
What Does Tonsillitis Look Like?
When tonsils are infected, they will look redder than usual and swollen.
The Procedure: Tonsillectomy
In children, removal of either the tonsils or the adenoids requires a general anesthetic. In adults the tonsils often may be removed under local anesthesia.

My tooth continues to hurt today and I have been taking the prescribed painkiller and antibiotics. Not much of an appetite for lunch today and ended up snacking on chocolates after lunch. This is bad for me. As it is, I need to shed about 3kg and now with the additional 2kg gained from my Bangkok trip, 5kg seems so impossible.
Speaking of Bangkok, I got really good value-for-money bargains.
- 10 dresses
- 5 tops
- 5 pairs of shorts
- 3 bags
- 3 chain belts
- 3 necklaces
I love my dresses. Of the 10 purchased, 3 of them more casual in floral print. Suitable for beach or shopping. 5 dresses are for work. Smart chic. The last 2 are more appropriate for dinner and hugs nicely on my curves. Lovely.
Did not see any nice undies in Bangkok and was surfing VS webby again. Now, I am so into brazilian cut panties. Oh, so pretty.
A sheer beauty with contrast lace trim. Imported nylon/spandex.
Show some cheek in soft, smooth microfiber with cross-dyed trim.
Low-rise. Imported polyester/spandex.

Apparently, there is an infection on the gums at my wisdom tooth area. The dentist said that she would extract for me if I want to. It is the wisdom tooth on the bottom right. 90% grown and she said that it is very likely to be fully grown but not sure time frame. She gave me 2 options. If she extracts my lower wisdom tooth, she would have to extract the fully grown upper one too. If she does not extract my lower wisdom tooth, she would prescribe me antibiotics to treat the infection.
I chose the latter. Cos I know that my bottom right wisdom tooth has been growing for 2 to 3 years and I have endured the teething discomfort since the beginning. Just that there is an infection now and I need to get it treated. Dentist mentioned that there was food around the area which caused the infection and reminded me to brush my teeth all the way right inside so as not to neglect the wisdom tooth. This sure is a valuable advice. Got to ensure my teeth is thoroughly brushed.
Amidst the scaling and polishing today, the dentist noted a cavity on my upper pre-molar. Had it mended too. Was prescribed 2 types of antibiotics, painkillers and a bottle of antiseptic gurgle wash. In fact, just took my medication and tried the mouth wash. Now my mouth feels a little numb.
So, I was given medical leave today to rest. Have an important lunch meeting tomorrow. Hope that all will go well. The lunar 7th month starts today and gonna be a tough month for the car market. Car dealers are having their annual 7th month dinners as usual. Well, just hope that this month will not be too slow least I will be stressed out on production again.

Further Information:
The King & I is a musical by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, revival and winner of 8 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Score is known for its well-loved songs Hello Young Lovers, I Whistle a Happy Tune, Getting to Know You and Shall We Dance? The King & I, features a stellar cast with a wealth of Broadway and theatrical experience is Directed by Bobby Garcia, Hong Kong Disneyland's first Live Entertainment Director and an award-winning multimedia director.
Its script is based on the book Anna and the King of Siam by Margaret Landon. The plot comes from the story written by Anna Leonowens, who became school teacher to the children of King Mongkut of Siam in the early 1860s. Leonowens' story was autobiographical except that its objective accuracy is questionable. In Thailand, the possession of anything related to Anna and the King of Siam or The King and I is illegal, because of what the Thai government says are historical inaccuracies about the King of Siam.
The musical opened on Broadway in 1951 and was the fourth hit out of five collaborations for the team of Rogers and Hammerstein. It ran for 1,246 performances, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical, among other awards. It spawned numerous revivals and a popular 1956 film version.
My views:
Honestly, I am surprised by how good this musical is. The sets are lovely and I can really feel as if I am in Siam. The little princes and princesses are so adorable and the cast is not only professional, but funny too. This musical is really worth every cent. I can say that it is on par with Phantom of the Opera which I caught in April this year!

Yes, it's the new Lancer, with its shark-nose front, with a 2.0L MIVEC engine that will unlease 155 horsepower. It comes in 1.5L variant too.
Went for the launch at Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza. Cycle & Carriage cordoned off the area and it was very cozy inside. The new Mitsubishi EX was finally unveiled at 4.45pm. The red colour is the nicest. White is not bad too.

Was busy trying to work out this month's production budget and it certainly did not help that I am projecting a $3 million shortfall. Boss would not hear of it but I just could not get the $15 million he wanted. Argh.
To make matters worse, I was asked to do a Strategy Paper for Boss just this afternoon. And because he just learnt that I would be on leave next week going overseas, he just came over and told me his presentation is on 13 August 2007 and for me to give him the Strategy Paper before I go on leave. Geesh, this means that I have to complete the paper for him by Friday and I have absolutely nothing to work on.
Was burying my head in churning up production figures after he broke the bad news to me once more. We had department meeting at 6pm. Not too productive. I was so stressed and kept thinking about what Strategy Paper Boss wanted me to prepare. Sigh.
The underwriters left for Sabrina's farewell dinner after the meeting. I did not join them. Was trying to finish up the production estimate. Not too optimistic. Finally left office about 8.30pm and had dinner about 9pm. I know I am stressed. Because I headed to Cold Storage after dinner and bought lotsa ice-cream and chocolates!
Eh, wait, what did Boss say again? Strategy Paper... What?!?!
1.30pm:
Seafood Broth, Sirloin Steak (Medium Rare), Tea and Chocolate Ice-Cream
9pm:
Prawn Bee Hoon Soup and 2 BBQ Chicken Wings
