Brunchie Munchie Recap

Spent Saturday at Dempsey Hill at Jones', Ben & Jerry's, Far East Plaza with Za & Hooch.

Full of food, fun and friends!

FFF FTW!

Here's a picha recap!

The usual suspects...

Brunchie to warm the insides!

Followed by coffee - the essence of life - to soothe the soul..

Combination d'ultimate!

Cheesie room

Dessert to follow!

The cute faces... which... failed..

The wrong side tongue.. 

Entertainment on the outside!

And finally for tea time..!!

♥

This tickles me!

I know some people are totally against colouring dogs.. But this picture really tickles me!

Bamboo plants in the background some more!
These dog owners are crazy!

The Grapevine

"If offices had vines I'd be expecting to see grape bunches clinging on the walls."

If China offices had these vines that would make... 
The Grape Wall of China.

Happy 100th entry to me.
Send me an Awfully Chocolate cake with a single candle so I can make a wish and blow it out!


Just let me say to the world what I would be wishing for - 
I wish everyone could be truthful to each other. Unrealistic it may be but a wish, is a wish!


Cheers.

What kind of mind do you find?

What kind of mind do you find
Behind those mocking eyes?


How many dreams broke in screams
As you slowly let him die?


What is the pride that you ride
That makes you grow so bold?


What kind of mind do you find
What kind of mind is that?

Why take a life with a knife

When you can heal with one?

Whom do you blurt this hurt

To him or to your soul?

What type of friends are they all

If they should let you fall?

What kind of mind would you find
What kind of mind is that?


Saddened by mindless hurt inflicted on Man by Man.
No one has the right to do this. No one should be doing this.

Hip Hopotamus

Ok first HH lesson today since a very long while. 

Instructor was the same as before, a girl who teaches really well. She looks disheveled today in contrast to her sporty look before. Eyes embodying the aura of insufficient sleep and face break-outs. Teaching HH so tough one?

Still I'm glad to have the same instructor cause she's really detailed in teaching and she doesn't embarrass people who dance like hippos like me (some instructors tend to point out the ugly moves people make to use as bad examples).

Teacher doesn't recognise me, but just as well because I feel embarrassed to tell her I've attended her lessons in the ancient past.

Warm up was the subject of today's class.

Stretching routine was:

- head isolation (damn tough)

- shoulder rolls

- side bends

- forward bends

- leg stretches (she does very power leg stretches)

- chest isolation

- hip isolation

- hand wave (super damn tough, tougher than head isolation)

I was wondering why 'hand wave' and not 'hand roll', since the move looks like any other roll only with hands. But well.. u know.. Handroll...

I prefer california maki.

After the basic isolation that was damn tough, the warm up follows.

Warm up routine was:

- bouncing to beat 

- above move adding side steps

- body rock fore and backwards (isolating from hip and above)

- above move adding alternating bent & straightened knees

- alternating shoulder shrugs

- above move adding side shuffle

- and some other moves i can't recall despite having tried for 5min.

I think the crowd was good, a majority of girls and 2 guys in class without aunty looking people. Everyone looked good in gym wear with the exception of myself who looked like a bumpkin pumpkin. 

Mental notes for next lesson:

- practice head isolation

- practice temaki - handrolls

- if socks no three quarts, if three quarts no socks. dressing properly is only the basic manners to the clothed mankind.

And now... Let there be music!

Strong brew

Moody, reflective day. Quart-life crisis introduced something stirring in my heart. A sense of discontentment brewing inside. 

Discontented with what I've achieved so far. This awakening shakes my fragile self-contentment within and collapses it, leaving an unexplainable hollow in my heart. Like a sink-hole so deep and empty. 

Greedily I grasp and claw at the days and moments gone by. I want more out of life. More, more, more!

Maybe it's the caffeine from the many teas I had, maybe it's me?

* = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = * = *

Struck by abrupt pangs of impulsiveness over the last few days. Perhaps I have had more time on my hands to think about things, various things. 

Did stuff that make me feel alive.

I ran the Great Eastern 10k and damaged a toenail. Despite the poor timing, I'm happy to have completed the run. Anyways check out the cool tracking functions available on the GE website! By the way I took out my name and runner ID to avoid prying audience..

I boldly designed my own fringe and executed the cut. Glad it turned out fine otherwise this will be an embarrassing mistake I would have to live with for the next 1.5~2 months.

And.. I signed up for Hip Hop dance class. Again! I like it uh huh uh huh!

Class starts tomorrow night. Crap I forgot about my injured toe! Yikes.

My toner smells nice

And it makes me happy. 

I'm a sucker for things that smell nice. Of course I have stringent requirements for 'things smelling nice'. They can't all be nice.


Bad smells really affect me and 'turn-off' is just an understatement. Bad smells are traumatic. I remember bad smells longer than I should, and they give me headaches and mood swings.


I hope you smell good.
Wish you a bright smelling day ahead. Try and stay on the nice-smelling side.


Cheers.

PoserPuppy Bunny

My goodness the WoW patching is sure taking it's time. I feel compelled to ensure it installs proper so here I am to continue with another brog entry before bedtime while the auto-patching works its magick.


See a friend of mine, Mane, is getting to wed soon and has a themed celebration lunch so we can all Eat, Pray, Love. Ok I think maybe not the Pray part because this is not a religion-ish wedding it's just a simple little gesture by the couple to have a get-together and something fun for the guests.


The theme for the wedding luncheon will be Alice in Wonderland, something really exciting to dress up to coz there are so many individual iconic characters to imitate. 


Due to popular demand I will be dressing up as the White Rabbit.

"Oh dear, oh dear! I shall be too late!"

The reason I was nominated to be the rabbit is because my friends say I look like Raving Rabbid when I pose in pictures with my fav buck-teeth look. I happily accepted this comment as a compliment.

I think Raving Rabbids are super cute.

I've already went and bought a pair of bunny ears. the ears have inlaid metal wires and can be bent to any shape you like - which is something I like. 


To dress the part I think I will also need to consider getting coloured lenses, a romantic cuffed shirt and a pocket watch. Also thinking of buying suitable pants but not sure where to get them yet. Think I'll be borrowing GooeyGecko's waist coat to complete the look.


Tis' really fun!
I'll go shopping tomorrow after guitar lesson and see what I can find!

My Weekend.

My weekend, mine all mine!

Bwahahahaha...


I slept as much as I liked, I dated as long as I wanted, I shopped wherever pleased me and ate whatever I wanted and even bought home a bagful of snek snek snek!


Pushy accompanied me the whooooole day then had to go home do work. Hmm I do have some work at the back of my head also but I think today I won't bother my pretty little head with these.


I'm so happy with my loot. See which snek u like?

Muji Kimchi Ramen?

Lotte chestnut cream dessert cakes?

Lotte caramel cream dessert cake?

Meiji matcha acorn cookies?

Or this?

Kanikko chillied baby crabs?

Actually I feel a little bad eating them coz it's like I killed so many babies...

But they taste rather good.. Anyway I feel guilty after eating them I think next time I won't buy this again..


I can always buy all the other goodies to eat!


Heehee..

Doggie-bag It: The Faceshop Vitamin E mask

Continuing to loiter online while waiting for my The Faceshop Vit E face mask nutrients to be osmosized into my skin. Note osmosized is wrong in spelling/grammar because there is no verb for 'osmosis' which is Quite Interesting to me. You can try googling it if you refuse to believe me. 


The mask smells nice and feels nourishing. I don't know how to define 'feel nourishing' but I just manage to feel so. I think it might be due to me liking hard boiled eggs in my salad. Gah I'm feeling hungry now talking about hard boiled eggs.


This is how the Vitamin E mask looks like on the packet.

Tip on applying face masks - refrigerate them before use coz it's really a nice feeling to have something nice smelling and apparently nourishing and cold on your face. Feel relaxed now. Well even if it's not as nourishing as marketed, at least it smells nice and makes me happy,


Tip on applying face masks II - after you put the mask on try to lie down and not walk about too much. You want the nourishing fluid to be evenly distributed and not pulled to your chin by Gravity eventually dripping on to your t-shirt. Less you want a very nourished t-shirt.


Other tips on applying face masks can most probably be found on the back of the face mask packet so I will not bore you with the obvious details.


Cheers & time for bed.

Cabbage Grudge

So I've been heavily consuming vegetables these days for various reasons. Nagalot's been awfully patient with me, making my salad every night so I can bring it for lunch the next day. I'm wondering if she will let up anytime soon? Coz she's been really hardworking in making my salad and I wonder what's her motivation!


Nevertheless I love my Nagalot for pampering me with the salads. It's really good because she knows what I like and she makes them pretty too. I like all Nagalot salads............... except the one I had today which was made from shredded cabbage leaves...........


I bit into the stemmish part of the shredded cabbage leaf, and guess what, it's curved end attacked me in the nostril. No kiddin' it did. And it got stuck in my nostril for some seconds while I guffawed in disbelief and showed it to Timtam who sat right next to me. It didn't want to fall out and eventually I had to use my hands to pry it out of my left nostril.

Really stwange but awesome things cabbage leaves can do. You better believe cabbage can do funny things otherwise risk facing their wrath.

Copy and Paste into my ♥

My bonnie lies over the ocean,

My bonnie lies over the sea.

My bonnie lies over the ocean,

So bring back my bonnie to me!

The PushyPanda has landed, bringing fantabulous surprises back from the land of kimchi and bibimbap! 


Sifting through my beloved sack of loot, my fav surprises are BoA's new Copy & Paste album and the little pwetty card holder from the Kitty Kat Korean brand Princess ChooChoo! How apt muaha this is my treasure. Pushy brought me many many nutritious face masks for my OT-drained skin, and bottles of serum and creams to make me look and remain chio!

Someone's copying & pasting happy little feelings into my ♥. Sweet, sweet, sweet! 
Happy clam I am.

Every end is a new beginning & new Doggie-Bag It topic

That totally didn't make sense.


Did you know - I have recently discovered the FTW-ness of the Esc key. The Esc key is so powerful and wonderful my little left hand pinky will never feel the same without it.


Esc is a quick and convenient way to exit a Windows function window or drop-down list. Conveniently located within reach of my left pinky, I realise it saves me the time and effort to reach for my mouse and locate the X button to close windows that I accidentally open up or need for quick reference. 


Linux users.. Not sure if it works for you, maybe you can feedback and let everyone know.






And did you realise the Poser blog lull is tapering to an end?
Hurrah for sanity! 


XOXO

And now for a quick Lunch Time update.

Yeowwch no more!

Yeah the pus has all decided to come out, sparing my eyelid from all that suffering!
Antibodies FTW!


Attended a dear friend's wedding dindin today. Pretty pretty bride. No pichas to show yet. I wish I could be pretty too!


Bah.. Am not totally ready for the heavy workload starting tmr.. I need a holiday right now right here.


Zzz..
♥

Yeowwch.

The pain in my eyelid has decided to reveal itself, transforming into a gigantic swelling. With the left eyelid now double its regular size I'm left with 1.5 eye power to see the world in its 0.75 glory. 

And so it goes...

Blink (ouch)

Blink (ouch)

Blink (ouch)

Blink (ouch)

Blink (ouch).... Blinking hurts

Such a pity I wanted to practice my eye makeup for a wedding dindin tmr. Looks like I'm in no condition for wearing any eye makeup. Ho hum.

Maybe with one half closed lid, everyone will think I'm winking at them tmr?

:DDDDD

It's way past Bedtime...

But I'm excited about learning to do this!

Hehehehehe. I win.

Thursday is a Rhyme

Head is a ache, throat is a pain.
I take a medicine, panadol again?


2 days m.c., took only one.
So many meetings, totally not fun.


Work is a busy, emails aplenty
Hourly I receive, almost twenty.


Hair is a greasy, feet is a smelly
Work till my brain, turn to jelly.


Cough is a starting, blood is a tasting,
Looks like my blood cells are gone to wasting!




Happy Thursday.
♥

Soldier Down!

Wow, totally knocked out today from a fever brought on by an infected throat. Back and neck and shoulders and hip and arms and thighs ached all over. Behaved like an invalid. Tried to work in the morning but had to visit the clinic for medical leave halfway coz of the sore throat and bodyaches. 


Doctor gave me 2 days medical leave, but I think I'll try and go to work tmr if the bodyaches are gone and my temperature is ok. See I am such a dutiful employee. Boss please raise my pay!


I need to get well quickly and fight fight fight!
And now, time for more sleep..

Bob Geldof - I don't like Mondays

I don't like Mondays.

Now apply this to Tuesdays too..

Gah!

I need more holidays.

Don't think about the work, think about the money.

"Don't think about the work, think about the money."

Quoting words of wisdom from Nagalot.

And now for something completely unrelated. Today Pushy and I went to watch/hear the vroom vroom at the F1 race site. We didn't buy tickets so we walked along the fenced area to catch a glimpse of the vroom vroom zipping by. I like the red ones. And by the way, the sound they make is totally not vroom vroom but they sound more like they are shrieking. Shrek with eye.

I was starving and we couldn't see much of anything from behind the fence, so Pushy suggested it was nourishment time. We combed the rows of quay-side shophouses and ended up at Riverwalk Tandoori. Buffet was still on at 9.45pm, the last grab for buffet food was 11pm. So buffet was what we had. My nourishment palette consisted of a pile of poppadums and mutton chunks and mushroom/spinach mix and bryani rice and tofu thing and chicken bhartar.

Very satisfying indeed. And I totally reconsumed the calories I burned at today's run.

Awesome.

Colour trial - smokey

Oct, Nov & Dec months are speckled with wedding dinners and other celebrations. I tested out brown eyeshadow today to see how it goes so I can decide if I wanted to present brown shadowed eyes to members of my social circle.

I'm half hearted about this look, don't really think it suits me. Just wanted to put up a picha and collect some feedback.

And by the way every time I put on make up I find great difficulty in hiding my eyebags. Have digitally removed the eyebags from the picha because I feel very embarrassed to show you my gigantic and coloured eyebags.

Anyone an eyebag pro around here?

Blog Piping Unclogged

These days I find myself actively finding topics to blog about. This I believe is a good habit for me so I can be more aware of things happening around me and pen it down (minus the pen) in words. Hope by doing this I can remember things better also, else Pushy will say I act like I suffer from brain damage.

People who don't blog usually say they have no time or have nothing interesting to blog about. I agree with the first point but disagree with the second. No regular human will have nothing to blog about. In fact each day and experience is a blogging opportunity. I can blog about the point that people claim they have nothing to blog about and make this go on for as long as the text box allows - and this is something to blog about.

I believe the reason people say they have nothing to blog about is because they are of the opinion that an entry is worth blogging only when you have nice pichas to show. Pichas of places you go, people you meet, stuff you buy. If there are no pichas to post means life is boring means no point blogging about it.

Well I never.. no doubt pichas play an important role in capturing attention, they play only a supporting role, illustrating the content in the blog.

Like this.

The thing is if you were just wanting to upload pichas to your blog, it'll be much simpler doing it via facebook, and you can reach out to a wider audience.

Thus don't be shy to post entries consisting of words, words and more words. You might actually come across being very intellectual to pen down (minus the pen) your thoughts and opinions, putting in a lot of detail showing the high level of thinking you have put in on the subject.

And so, may the world blog with love and joy. May each and every blogger learn to appreciate the wonders of language and communication.

Cranberry juice gives you bad breath

So I've been having some problems with my little pearlies these days, and spent quite a bit on dental visits. I'm now very paranoid about dental hygiene.

One thing is for sure - there is no getting away with not brushing your teeth at least twice per day. Especially so if you like to snack on Pringles, nuts and muruku.

Hey by the way if you haven't been introduced, here are some awfully cool teeth.

Their names are ickle and Lardee. Did you hear 'bout their fishing trip? Sounds like they had a lot of fun. Didn't manage to get any fish though, poor guys.

Earlier in the evening where I had been there was a jug of cranberry juice. Those who partook in it developed bad breath after that. Hm, I'm not suggesting that cranberry juice be boycott. I think we should drink cranberry juice with a straw and wash down the cranberry traces with water. Drinking sweet stuff with straws protect your teeth ya.. Sipping water after cranberry juice also helps prevent bad breath and washes away the sugared saliva which again protects teeth.

So there you have it. All 2 cents worth.

Ending off with another cute picha (actually a series of cute pichas). G'night.

Totally not worth my leave

Totally been spending half a day doing work while on leave. Compounding excitement over the upcoming Qtr end delivers many emails to my humble little inbox.

Please make it stop!

Either that or increase my pay!

Beary Fascinating

I've been rather hooked on Nat Geo Wild over the past 2 weeks with Poppadum spending more time at home than before. Poppadum (Y) documentaries coz he is a dude and doesn't like dramas. He also doesn't like the cynical type of comedy I watch coz he is not a cynical person. So Poppadum watches sports and documentaries.

I like watching bears on Nat Geo Wild. Grizzly bears are my fav segment now, simply because these bears look so cute when they stand on their hinds.

Bears are omnivores and most bears eat lots of fruit and roots (like i do) and are only opportunistic carnivores - which I believe means they are lazy to hunt because hunting is a lot of work.

If bears were humans.... hibernation months will most likely be a national holiday. Cheers.

Whose line is it anyway V QI

Can't decide which is better for watching on the train on the way to work and back. QI is more informative but Whose line is more funny. I could watch these 2 all day everyday (for 1 day) and not get bored!

Only thing is I feel a little wistful when watching vids on train cause that will mean I'll have to watch it on my badly cracked phone. Looking at the phone makes me sad because I will always remember the joy and excitement it's pretty little AMOLED 16M display had brought me........

Alas, it has all become a distant memory!!

Romantic bath

Our bathroom light was out since Saturday night. It antagonized me the whole Sunday because I was holding out as much as I could to avoid bathing in the dark. Naturally I couldn't go to bed without a bath after a whole Sunday's worth of activities. So eventually I bathed in virtual darkness except for the hint of artificial night-light entering through the little gap by the door slightly left slightly ajar.

I'm no fan of darkness. I like being in bright places. I can sleep with lights on too. This little bathroom light, or the lack of it, has caused me a fair bit of inconvenience.

Returning from work today, I was distraught to learn the light remains inactive. I made a racket and Poppadum came to my rescue. Poppadum did a little magic and made the bathroom seemed like a cosy little place to hangout.

Battery operated push-button lights were hung up on 2 opposite walls and a torchlight hung above the sink to facilitate teeth-cleansing. The bathroom was glowing in a gentle, cheerful manner happy to greet me. I was, too, genuinely happy to see it with cute little lights hung up. It was a little like bathing by the moonlight. Only this was enclosed. With doors. And a shower. Not forgetting the toilet bowl.

I was so intrigued by the bathing-in-the-moonlight that I was happy to groom my brows afterwards. Hurt like hell it did.

Happy to have a new blog template and restore the life to this little space.

Time for bed.

Neu look Neu me!

Yeahbah I have a new brog template.

the day facebook was down.

the day facebook was down, birds hushed and flowers wilted.

babies wailed as the tears of the sky fell from the clouds.

the day facebook was down, mothers sighed and fathers drowned their sorrows.

the waves crashed upon the shore as lightning struck across the velvet sky.

the day that facebook was down.

the day facebook was down, my pimple popped and computer hung to its death.

the copier ran out of paper as emails get bounced back to my inbox.

the day that facebook was...

hey wait, its up again woot!

Back @ Ironforge

After several months of money wasting on my WoW subscription, I decided to suspend my subscription. I think to the date I suspended the account, I chalked up at least $300 of wasted subscription charges because I paid but didn't play.

So I suspended my account. Then I told Pushy, "sekali I suspend already then our guild members decide to start playing again".

All was quiet for a week. And then Pushy received a call informing that we WOULD be playing again.

(=__________=)

Haiz.

Sometimes in life it's better not so whammy yourself.

By the way, everyone, meet Chicchic, my new ugly warrior noob.
