Chilling out with the Babes...

I can’t wait to meet up with the pretty babes later… Especially so when Hazelyn suggested going for the Ladies Nite buffet deal at “くしんぼ”. The huge spread of sumptuous dishes kept popping out in my mind…My all-time favourite Sashimi, piping hot paper steamboat, crispy tempura, sushi… *Drooling* The more I think of it, the more hungry I feel…

“Guruu..Grghh…” humm… That must be my stomach calling out for the yummy food although I have just taken my lunch.

When we finally reached Sky Garden at Suntec City, my heart dropped. A queue was forming outside “くしんぼ”. There goes my buffet dinner…In the end, we satisfy our craving for Japanese food at our usual Japanese restaurant, “いちばん” by the Fountain of Wealth.

Our sumptuous spread~

While we were waiting for our food, our Dearest Fangster brings out her pretty Victoria Secrets paper bag. I was surprised that she got gifts for us! It was actually bought during her Chicago trip weeks ago. Hee... It was so long ago that I nearly forgot she had “just” came back from Chicago! Well, nothing intimate from Victoria Secrets. *Grinz* For a moment I was wondering how she could figure all our sizes. We got a pretty “skinny scarf” - which could be used as scarf, belt or anything that our creativity allows, and a tube of “Very Moisturizing Hand and Body Moisturizer” from Victoria Secrets. And since I will be going to Japan soon, I was asked to deliver the gifts to Yingster.

Right after our sumptuous dinner, we headed for our chill out session. The walk was really tiring with my heavy notebook. We were turn-off by the presence of huge pack of wolves at Balaclava, and we proceeded to our usual hideout at City Space with the scenic night view of Singapore city. We kick start our night with our favourite drink- Tequila Shots. We tried ordering something different that night. And poor Hazelyn ended up with a champagne flute of grouse smelly “Hamburg”. Even when I tried holding my breath before drinking it, the strong pungent scent would sting my throat before I could taste the bitter tasting fluid. “Argh...” Three cheers for our brave Hazelyn who managed to finish up the drink! Other than the nice couches and beautiful night scene, the company was great! We even has fun snapping away with Fangster new toy… Hee… Our favourite sport.

Giving our "Bird" face~

One little Enlightenment

One day while I was having coffee with a friend, he shares with me some thoughts about love and relationship from his perspective. He was trying to explain to me how a guy can start loving another person when he professed that the previous girl he was seeing was the love of his life.

“…She will still be someone special in my heart although we’re no longer together…”

Initially, I was skeptical and couldn’t understand how one move could on so quickly and find a new love when he had supposedly lost someone so special in his life…

“Mars are from Mars, Women from Venus” ~ How apt…

But, soon I began to understand and even starts to appreciate that this could actually happen.

无缘成为终生伴偶, 换回一世知己; 这也不错。

Zest in Life

I don’t know when or how it started... I realized the passion that I once had for my work has been fading gradually… The energy that I once had towards life is dipping low…Is it due to the lost in Hope? Or is it due to the sudden lost of directions in life?

I have been trying to find the answer…searching for a new direction in life for months to no avail. I tried hard to inject some zest in life, so that I can look forward to each new day…

I finally found it today ~ not a new direction in life, or a new love to spur me on, but I finally regained the kind of passion that I would like to have in my work! I feel that I’m more in control of my life. Hopefully, this will continue.

From tomorrow onwards, I want to feel the morning breeze caressing my face as I travel to work every morning, no longer do I want to melt into the softness of my bed~ *Get out Piggy!*

Hopefully, I can regain my zest towards life~ starting from my work! Let there be sparkles in my eyes again!

Little gifts in life

I have been trying to look for the perfect pair of shoes for my gym and sports... Can’t seem to find one that’s multi-purpose (Cross-Trainers). When I finally found one at Queensway Shopping Centre one week ago, my sizes were all sold out! So I tried to search for one again on Sunday, this time round asking my Personal Trainer friend to help me find a suitable pair of shoes. Only then, I found out that not every pair of branded (like Nike, Adidas, etc) shoes is good. You got to check whether there is enough support at the sole and ankle so that it could prevent any sprain during workout. I also learnt how to choose the right pair of shoe for every activity based on the markings on the sole. With these new knowledge equipped, I realized that it’s even harder to find one with a nice design and yet suited to my needs.

But I finally Found it! Today! Yeah!!! And I even managed to go for my gym workout after delaying my visit for so many weeks after my previous pair of shoe was spoilt. So, that’s the gift for me!

I also got some nice chocolates from a friend today. Yummy…

A cute little bunny from my mum (which she won during the game she played at the Mini-mart near our house)…

Some cakes and pastries from my cute little brother who has finally completed his tedious 3 months training at Palau Tekong… Yeah, I will get to see him more often now!

Simple things in life that makes me happy… *Grin*

I hate rainy days no more...

I hate rainy days. I could no longer bask myself on the warm sandy beach or soak up the delightful sun shine, while cruising down ECP in my 4-wheels boots. There goes my weekend, lazing at home - once again, catching up on my sleep and spending hours rolling on my cooling bed; refusing to open my heavy eyelid to the numerous tasks that is waiting for me.

In the end, I finally dragged myself out of bed and spent some family time before I rush out to meet my friend for dinner. When I walked past the TS VCD Shop, I saw the VCD of the movie that I didn’t manage to catch when it was screened!

“Be with you

いま、会いにゆきます"

I was so excited with my new “Prize”; I had to watch it immediately after I reached home. It was a romantic and touching story that happens during a rainy season in Japan. (For the benefit of those who have not watched it before, I shall not disclose the story here…) From then on, I no longer detest rainy days… I started looking at rainy days from a different light.

The movie is something about love – so simple and yet so endearing… How I wish life can be so simple. How I wish people in this materialistic world would just stop competing in the rat race for money and power and starting looking at what’s really important in life.

I believe Love brings meaning to life. Imagine what life would be without love? Be it rain or shine, love will brighten up a gloomy day; or will there be any gloomy day at all?

Perhaps, I’m being idealistic. I understand that any relationships would have it low time and obstacles. But I believe if one is not so caught up with the material side of life, give their love ones the due respect and love with their heart; I believe that there’s no obstacles in life a pair of lovers can’t overcome.
