Days of Lull

A lot had happened these several weeks so much so that I missed out on all the blogging.


Fun stuff include..


Participating the Standard Chartered run. I only had capacity for the 10km so I'm not going to show-off much around here. Also I got caught on those running paparazzi pictures looking super duper ugly. Aghh I am disappoint.


Here's some nicer shots for the good memory.

Baws brought a live Christmas tree to work and designated it to be seated next to me. Everyone helped dress it up. I'm learning to like talking to it since no one else's interested to talk to me. They don't have the capacity to deal with my witty-humour tsk tsk. I've liked it as my new friend ever since.

My team also joined forces and leveled up the office decor for Christmas. The social committee then got inspired by us and decided to conduct a best-decor team competition. So much for originality.


We won anyways. Not surprising since we totally had to work OT to put all these together.

And while we got busy in office, I thought I began to hallucinate when I saw these dancing mobile phones and had to do a double-take. The phones were bobbing to the groove of the dance tracks blasted on nearby speakers. Then they stopped and hugged each other. Lol infinity!

And then we had a team luncheon buffet-style at Carousel. On the same day we gathered round the Christmas tree and exchanged gifts. It was done earlier since there were people taking holidays over the subsequent days before year end.

In the midst of all these office action, Pushy and I attended a really entertaining wedding lunch on a Sunday afternoon.


The theme was Alice in Wonderland.

Also I attended Owl's wedding dinner. So many weddings occurring towards year end I wonder why? Owl's hubby was a funny chap. Cute couple.

Congratulations to the lovely couples and I wish them good blessings.

Rabbid ♥ You

My best impression.

Yes my right eyebag CAN fold.. Woot.

I'm a Rapper

I meant Wrapper with a capital W.


Spent my Monday sorting and wrapping Christmas presents while finishing up the K-drama series Oh! My Lady. The ending... wasn't as fantabulous as I'd expected it to be but it was alright I guess.. At the very least there was Choi Si Won from Super Junior starring as the male lead. 
(These days I'm really INTO K-pop.. so there.)

At this moment let us close our eyes for 4minute until 2AM to pray for Peace in Korea and the World. For those already asleep let's just catch up later at about 2PM. Special exemption applies to audience below 2NE1 years of age but we will not Miss A single individual beyond that age group, you better follow the rules otherwise fear retribution.


May everyone make war, not love ahem, make love, not war.
-*=*=*=*=*-


Yeah so in anticipation of a sarky workload and absolutely-trying life routine the next couple of weeks, I've decided to begin preparing for some upcoming Christmas gift exchange meet-ups. 2 weeks ago I had even planned to hand make Christmas cards for colleagues, friends and loved ones, but regrettably 2 weeks later I found that I had unconsciously splurged my precious 2 weeks on K-drama, dance practice, running practice, a boring holiday and meeting people for F-O-O-D! 
So no cards this year.


Nevertheless, I spent much effort on the aesthetics of the Christmas gifts. To the lucky people who will be receiving these presents and also read my brog entries, Please Open Them With Care and Please Take Time To Savour My Sincerity in wrapping the gifts.


I really really enjoy giving gifts and receiving nice gifts.. Really really must bear in mind to give me really really nice gifts. Sharing is a bridge between your heart and mine.. And her heart and his heart and mine and her heart and her heart and his heart and mine.. 


Hope these little pichas make you a wee bit excited!

Family portrait!

 And of course.. the colourful wrapper for little Vitamin-C, gingerly topped with a Gingerbread Man sticker holding candy cane.

 And then we have one for a Dec baby

Close-up on the details

I'm still lacking some suitable gifts for several sweet persons. But I'll take my time to prepare those because wrapping the above gifts has very nearly rendered me blind. My eyes! My eyes!


Ohmigosh its way past bedtime. How oh how would I be able to adjust my bodyclock to boring work hours.... That is beyond me.

Popiah my Bundle of Joy

Popiah from Wiki:

Popiah (Hokkien: pȯh-piáⁿ) is a Fujian/Chaozhou-style fresh spring roll common in Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia. Popiah is often eaten in the Fujianprovince of China (usually in Xiamen) and its neighbouring Chaoshan on the Qingming Festival. It is sometimes referred to as runbing (潤餅) or baobing(薄饼) in Mandarin. In the Teochew (Chaozhou) dialect, popiah is pronounced as "Bo-BEE-a",^[1] which means "thin wafer" (also in the Hokkien dialect).

Basically you can put anything in the popiah skin, which is made out of wheat flour, roll it up and call it a popiah.

The ones commonly seen over here are made out of soft-boiled turnip filling, beansprouts, lettuce leaves, slices of hard boiled egg, lined with a chilli-prawn paste-garlic-peanut mixture and rolled into a Bundle of Pollie's Joy! Some popiahs contain thinly sliced prawn too.. but with the prawn so thinly sliced, I can't feel it when I chew anyway so prawns are optional.


Today's breakfast..

My popiah came in a packet.

Cross section of the popiah..

Yum yum I love it!

I feel broke

My pocket is broken!




Sigh.

My heart beats for...

You...

Continental by Thorntons

You...

Kinder Happy Hippo by Ferrero

You...

Various flavours by A Lot of Chocolate

And You!!!

Pushypanda, artist's impression

Not forgetting the fact that my heart beats to pump blood to carry oxygen, remove carbon dioxide, carry nutrients and fluids to every single cell in my body.


Maybe my heat beats faster now because of the amount of bad cholesterol I have in my blood stream from the excessive consumption of Thorntons & A Lot of Chocolate.


On this note I bid you good night.

DIY fringe the sequel

I have been informed one time too many that my fringe looks unbalanced.

SO WHAT ITS SUPPOSED TO BE UNBALANCED TO MATCH MY IMBALANCED BRAIN.............

Well ok, I'm glad that's all sorted out then.

And here is another DIY thing done. By yours truly.

Cheers

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Wedding Blunders

Goodness me I managed to make a very embarrassing mistake today.


November and December are popular wedding months and I have back-to-back weddings over this weekend. All this wedding excitement is too much for my puny pea of a brain to handle and resultingly I mixed up today's wedding invite!


It was a wedding lunch, not dinner!


The story went that I was happily watching tv and trying to get Pushy to bring me out for lunch, when I decided to check the venue of today's wedding. And it's good I checked because at the time I checked, I was already 40min late for the wedding lunch!


Well I turned up eventually, but was very paranoid that the guests would already be leaving by the time I arrived, so I kept checking with another friend, Merow, who was also invited. Disregarding the specs (I wanted to put on contact lenses), makeup-free face and wrinkled dress, I dashed out of the house and brisk-walked all the way.. Think that was many calories burnt!


Merow was really nice and she kept a portion of each dish for me so I had food to eat when I arrived. But I realised that everyone knew that I mixed up the wedding lunch/dinner thing so I had to explain and repeat myself like 500 times!


Ho hum. 


Sorry for being so uber late, Woonie! But.. Better late than never! 
Wish all the good things that everyone wishes to you!
♥

Excuse me, I space out.

Back home from a close friend's wedding dinner. Bride was fabulous. Groom was... ok bride was fabulous. Anyway the couple really are made for each other! Wishing them all the best..


My eyes are exhausted because I wore my coloured lenses the entire day. My eyes are the kind that grow lethargic from wearing contact lenses so despite the lenses being removed, they are still yawning...


I look desperately in need of sleep in every picture taken today. How do you permanently remove eyebags?




Want to be pretty.

Italian Beauty

I mean the gift I got.. It's a beauty.

It's handcrafted and is supposedly unique in the Whole Wide World... like a url coz each www.xxx.etc has to be unique.


Well it should be unique.... by virtue of being handcrafted. Shaky hands shaky hands will not allow each piece to be made identical.


With that ending Pow-Wow I would like to thank Hoochie for the expensive-looking gift. 
Also I bid each of you goodnight.
