the Devil & Angel in eneri Devil: i dun think eneri can make it in this year finals. look at her! she hasn't passed 1 single of her kanji test. she also took ages to complete her composition assignment. let alone the oral part. Angel: No. i know she can make it. though has been slacking through the whole year, her preservance keeps her going on. Devil: she even flung her 1st test! Angel: but she did very in her 2nd one!? Devil: i just dun think she can make it. Angel: i believe she will! cos once her mind is set, she will preserve till the very end.

Two is better than one. one of the most beautiful & touching wedding video i ever come across.. almost moved to tears and today's msg from God wants You to know application was: that you've been talking to God too much, and not listening enough. Time to learn how to listen and hear, because God has been answering you. true.. i hv been asking Him every morning to listen & grant my prayers. and its time for me to learn how to listen & hear on what He wants to tell me
hadn't been updating for quite some time. thoughts of future & uncertainties flow into my mind everyday. work recieved the annual self assessment last mon which i have to give my future in this co for some serious thoughts. there weren't any push factors that made me want to leave. but at the same time, i need to bring my career up to the next level. efforts have paid off when boss told me that my name was bought up during her meeting at bangkok for my support rendered to reefer growth. i really felt comforted & never expect a small fry has her name mentioned! personal life life is still very much in control. i still do things that i enjoy. the worrying factor now is the jap exam in nov. in fact, the last 2 yrs of jap was easy peasy & the real challenge comes this year. REALLY hope that i can breeze thru & get over and done with (though i don't pay the sch fees). also time to go thru my 2010 resolution list to see if i had them fufilled.
Tokyo Dogs finished Tokyo Dogs last wkend. this drama has been pending for ages.. initially ditched this drama for Liar Game 2. wasn't interested as there's no drawing factors. i find Oguri Shun acting so uptight & Hiro looks damn untidy in this drama. have to admit this drama won me over in the end cos of the stupid arguments & acts by the both of them. the rookie character- Jino looks cool (though he's already 45). i wound't mind watching all over again.
19 days w/o HJP. life has not changed much for last 19 days. except i hv been lazy since back from HKG trip din go for yellow ribbon run & skip pilates/church last week. was dead beat from work. did my 1st conference call with Romania smoothly. met up with si mon for catch up session over dinner. but..... i still do go for my wkly jog & did some pilates @ home. that's what i did for my last 2 wks. . . plain boring. . .
steamboat session @ Le Le Pot 鸳鸯 laksa - scored high ratings in forums which did not disappoint me herbal -much to my surprise, i could really taste the herbs [cos most places herbal soups are bland]. good choice. wide selection of food this is only 1/2 we ordered. cos the table is almost filled. faves are dory fish (generous thick slices!)/ watercress (my top fave & not many SB offer)/ guo tie/ pork & mutton/ cuttlefish (very Q!) order lime freeze w nata de coco for my drink. good choice for digestion. i starting to miss the pork & mutton *drool* pricing wise, consider cheap (worth the money) - $19.80 [mon-thurs] $20.80 [fri-sun]
punggol waterway bto result Your queue position for a 5-Room flat in Punggol 21 is beyond 300% of the flat supply. Hence, you are deemed as unsuccessful in your flat application. You will not be invited to select a flat and your flat application has been cancelled accordingly. For first-timer applicants, this unsuccessful application will be counted towards the accumulation of additional chances for their future application for a flat in non-mature estates under the BTO exercises. to summarise: - total 3 failed attempts - 2nd failed attempt - 1st was also punggol (think punggol is a cursed place for me.. whahaha) - no chance to select buangkok vale even with the Q no - govt makes good money out of each bto exercise - accumulation of additional chances? 屁leh! doesn't seem to be happening to me.
giving a vision greater than you (me) i never consider to give myself a vision which is greater than myself to accomplish. neither do i want others to give me this. cos i do not want to feel pressured in order to fufill the given vision or rather mission. i'm contented to pass each day w/o worries abt tml. thats explain the reasons why i couldn't ans questions like: :: how do you see yourself in 5 yrs time? :: what are your goals in life? :: what do you want to achieve? these are the questions which i do not want think abt it. my ans will always be what if die tml? seriously, i never bother abt my achievements. but i hv to admit that sometimes i do envy other ppl's achievements. during 1 of the occasions, hjp pop a question abt what i hope to accomplish by the age of 30 cos he's hitting the number next year. a long pause sets in. i replied, perhaps to fully master the japanese language. based on the current situation, that was all i could thought of. i'm not career-...
a qtr of century celebration mama said cake cutting should only be done once on birthday. too many cake cutting sessions aren't good. but who cares abt the old wives tales :P with family with friends with HJP with colleagues (o.o)v from an anonymous friend sumptuous dinner @ al forno. Pizza Misto Funghi Spaghetti Cartoccio Merluzzo in Padella birthday trip to HKG next month. Yoo hoo!
HJP was out to KL trip last leaving me to pass my wkends alone. anyway, it wasn't really bad as i always have my own stuff to do. did my HKG itinerary. 3/4 done. left macau part. Sun went to church with his aunt for the 1st time. initally, i resisted the idea cos with my nature, i could easily say the wrong/lame things. hence, i keep "mum" most the time. even at work.. tsk tsk. that's explain, my colleagues have the impression i too mild (even to carriers). anyway, we went to kiliney kopitiam for lunch & then she gave me a lift home. received the package from DHL. still couldn't made out the 2 meanings behind the phrase.
"have ever consider to train yourself for a marathon?" was being asked by dionne during our catchup session last fri. the thought of training for a marathon never came into my mind. anyway, i'm not those hard-core exercise freak. after all, i only do it for 1 reason - tone & shape up. a yr of jogging had yet to cultivate the love for exercise in me. i'll only feel guilty if i skip it (at least, it still motivates me a little from time to time). YY's philosophy is 运动是为了吃更多食物 (agreed to a certain extend). my philosophy is 运动是为了让我尽情享受美食的当而中，但不会产生罪恶感。also came out with another excuse which is i can easily catch my bus whenever i saw it arrives from far.
i came across this article while reading Cleo this morning. The Great Escape (3 great reasons to skip town ) - pg 239 1. You'll sleep better A study in Psychosomatic Medicine has reported that people who take regular trips away from home enjoy better quality sleep. You dun have go far to reap the benefits. Even a wkend trip to a short resort in Bintan can deliever the beauty rest your body needs. My take: Yes. it really helps in delivering beauty sleep. surprisingly, you will energetic even though sleeping late & waking up early morning (with the fact you hv done of loads of shopping the day before) 2. You'll live longer Women who holiday twice a year are 8 times less likely to develop heart disease than those who spend their off days @ home, according to a study conducted by the National Heart, Lung & Blood Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, US. My take: Personally, i target to holiday twice a year. this gave me another reason (excuse) to support it. whether, i live long...
dinner with HJP - Part 2 Venue: Imperial Treasure Teochew Kitchen @ Suntec drop by for dinner on HJP birthday. usually, i went there to satisfy my chinese ramen cravings. but for a change in tastebuds, we decided to order the ala cartes. a wise choice indeed. tsk tsk. drunken chicken. HJP fave har cheong kai (i ate only 1 piece) a combination of my faves! Tofu with stuffed spinach & seafood gravy. a dish which i dun feel sinful eating even after finishing the whole plate my all time fave noodle - fried ee fu mee. this was only so so. other than ramen, the Tofu with stuffed spinach makes me wanting to come back for more. price is reasonable with decent food. i'll be back!
