debrief of my new year resolutions

the year is almost ending....and i realized i did set a list of new year resolutions at the beginning of this year...here's my list of resolution:

1. To go on a diet and lose 5kg: aiyoh, this is my EVERY YEAR'S resolution and every year i never keep them...sighz..this is bad sia...next year must ensure that i lose at least 3 kg...hahahaha...since my uncle bought me the uzap from osim..i shall use it diligently and see if i can lose any weight....*laughs* i must eat lesser and exercise more...i try ah....must really really try....

2. To have more financial control: i actually develop a spreadsheet which tracks my monthly expenses..then i lost that spreadsheet when i change company...*mutter mutter* now i have to start all over again...but never mind, shall start a new one for 2006... but i must say, i am quite a spendthrift....my next year's resolution is to spend less and save more....*laughs*

3. To get a boyfriend: hahahahaha...this is something not within my control sia....not that i was actively seeking...but then i was keeping my doors open in my own opinion...but somehow, i have no suitors at all sia...so damn sad...the guys that i actually met were kinda duhz...and the guys i like are all taken!!! *sighz* but no fears, i'm sure God will truly provide..think i must pray harder...hahahaha...but most people are surprised that i dont have a boyfriend...hahahahahahaha...but it's true..I DONT HAVE A BOYFRIEND!!!

4. To attend church regularly: for the first half year, i thought i did attend rather regularly..but then somehow, my schedule changes...then i couldnt wake up for the earlier service and for a while i wasnt actively attending church...very horribe right..but i have decided...no matter what, i have to attend the 11am service...heeheehee

sighz..it seemed that i never keep any of my new year resolutions for 2005....but then again...do i look like i would keep them? *laughs* BUT i did 2 things which i have always wanted....(1) i got myself a tattoo and (2) i went windsurfing and wakeboarding!! *laughs*

I like Narnia...

another very hyped-up movie of the year...when i watched the trailers in theatres, i've fallen in love with it....because there's a lion...the lion is one of my favorite animal...i simply love lions...i thought they look really majestic with their manes and all....so i told princess mel that i MUST watch this show and made her promise to watch it with me...hahaha! anyway, manage to catch this on christmas day....

i must say, i kinda enjoy this movie...although there were some moments of boredom....the graphics were fantastic...there were so many talking animals...talking horses, talking beavers, talking wolves....so interesting...and there were all kinds of mystical creatures...giants, unicorns, centuars, etc...and so much snow and mountains...very niceeee...

basically, there were 4 characters...and i love the eldest brother - peter...he's so cute when he's seriously at war...he's responsible and brave...the elder sister - susan...not really cute, can be quite irritating at times but alright lah....the younger brother - edmund..hated him, forever so selfish and so stupid, a traitor...irritating brat....the youngest sister - lucy..a very cute girl...nothing much to say about the 4 humans of the show...am not really into them...

for me....i looooooooooove aslan - the lion...he's so handsome...so nice....so wise....and he's used to signify Jesus... aslan sacrificed himself for one of the traitors...just like how Jesus sacrificed himself for us....and when they actually killed aslan, he was whipped and they shaved off his mane..just like how Jesus was whipped and stripped naked...at those scenes, i couldnt help but sob because it really reminds me of Jesus and i felt so sad....

however, i am still unsure of a scene in the movie...i seriously am still puzzled how did the queen die? did aslan kill her? or did aslan spare her? why did aslan ask peter if the war is over? mmm...very vague that portion... and also, once the 4 kids are out of narnia, who's going to rule narnia? another 4 kids? so what? the whole story will repeat again with another 4 kids? mmm.....but no fear, i've gotten the books and am going to read them!! *yeah*

wonder if the other books will be produced into films....ooh...am looking forward to 2 movies in 2006....The Da Vinci Code and Mission Impossible 3....Toms are the main leads for these 2 shows...but am only interested in the latter tom...as for the former tom...dont know why he's casted as the main lead....

Merry Christmas

*singing* Oh holy night...the stars are shining brightly...it is the night of our dear savior's birth...now long lay the world in sin and error pining...till he appeared and the soul feel its worth...*sighz* this is my favorite christmas carol.....so nice....=)

anyway, MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!!!! hope that all of you have a blessed christmas.....

well...as usual, i spend my christmas eve with my family...every year, my family will just gather for a dinner and exchange presents...last year, we had our party in sentosa and we actually danced till 1am and exchanged our presents in our hotel rooms..so it's the dancing christmas...this year, we had our dinner at jumbo and because we booked one of the private room, we had KTV and so this year was the KTV christmas....*smilez*

everyone took turns to sing!! it was my FIRST TIME hearing my mum sing...and my uncle...hahahaha...although they cannot sing like super stars..but i wouldnt say they suck....well, KTV happens to be one of my auntie's favorite hobby and so she was happily singing away...all her old melodies...the food was great...we had prawns, fish, 2 plates of crabs, fried rice, dessert, shark's fins and a cold dish....was so full and satisfied....*smilez* after dinner, we exchanged presents....and it was done in a haphazard way because we sang too much and the restaurant was closing....*laughs* and after the gift exchange, my family "refused" to go home...*laughs* we proceeded to coffee bean and sat around and chit-chatted and drank coffee..although all of us were very full...anyway, finally we all got home around 1am...

last year, i bought presents for all my uncles and aunties....7 presents because i have 3 aunties and 4 uncles...this year, i change my "strategy"...i only bought presents for my cousins.....3 presents because i only have 3 cousins..and they were kids and i just had to ponder over what toys to buy....unlike buying gifts for adults, i have to ponder WHAT and WHERE TO BUY...a big headache...and after this change of strategy, not only did i save $$$ but also lost lesser hair....*laughs* man, i'm such a cheapo...mmm...feeling guilty...because i got presents from all my uncles and aunties...think i shall buy for all next year....*laughs*

ooh, these are the presents i got from everyone:

1. red packets = $300 (good!)
2. 2 perfumes: burberry and clinque (yeah!)
3. a set of books: The Chronicles of Narnia (cool!)
4. a handphone holder (amazing, have the intention of getting one)
5. a wallet (nice!)
6. u-zap (fantastic, can use that to zap way the fats around my huge tummy!)
7. 3 candles: 2 perfumed ones and 1 with a holder that contains my name
8. wired piano decorative piece

i loooooooooooove all my presents and THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! actually i thought i might get a digicam for christmas...but dont have...but my uncle PROMISED to get me one for chinese new year....*laughs*

new job rocks!

this week was my first week at my new job..in fact..today was my 2nd day....and i must say..it has been a very very very very very great experience....although i must say the working hours are very long...8am to 6pm...can die ah...but i know i will survive...*grins* everything has been awesome...

(1) People
the people here are simply great..everyone's so friendly...although it may seemed that they are over-friendly..but i reckon they are really friendly..everyone's so willing to help me...in every other way...even to the point of telling me there are grapes in the pantry and even telling me where the bowls are located....awwww...i am so touched....everyone's so nice....actually it's everyone on my team...the other side...they looked kinda arrogant..but i dont really care..hahahaha...

(2) Pantry
my new office has the BEST pantry of the whole universe...it's amazing the things they maintain in that pantry...you name it...the pantry has it...apple juice, orange juice, chocolate milk, pure milk, carrot juice, vegetable juice, soya bean drink, mineral water, coffee, tea, green tea, diet coke, etc etc...slurrrrp...and there's potato chips, biscuits, cereals, cup noodles, sweets, marshmallows, apples, bananas, grapes, etc etc....slurrrrp...i think when i'm trying to save on my pennies...the pantry will be of a great help...*laughs* the pantry was so famous that after i reached home on my first day..my brother asked me this question.."how's the pantry?" duhz...what a question!!!! talking about the pantry, had chocolate milk this morning..and had tummy ache which caused me to poo a few times...hahaha...good way to shed the pounds? *grins*

(3) Work
basically, i havent really started any work...for these 2 days...i spent my time reading things...getting myself familiarize with the system...because it's a totally different system...shadowing my team mates...nothing much here and there..there were moments of boredom...and i almost dozed off at my desk..hahaha..but i had to look busy..because everyone was really busy...*grins* had a conference call with the team today...and my manager said that he doesnt want me to plunge too fast into the job....he wants to ensure that i get myself settled down and familiarize myself...which he said will take at least 1 month...*laughs* not a bad idea..and this manager is going to personally train me in whatever i'm going to do...cool...

thus far, everything has been good..except that i got to wake up at 6am every morning....*yawnz* my mum asked me..." do you have the feeling that your previous job is better? " and with much confidence i answered her..." NO WAY! " *grins*

all i want for christmas is MOS...

MOS - my latest indulgence...not exactly indulgence..but my latest interest..not really also..cannot put words to it...but this is something i fairly desire...but alas, was pissed by it last friday...so damn bloody pissed that nothing could make me unpissed...

it was my first time queuing willingly to enter a place....for 3 freaking hours..i stood with the crowd...beads of pespiration were rolling non-stop from my whatever...it was so damn bloody hot and stuffy..but for the sake of MOS....i willingly queued with my pals...the queue seemed to be moving...but it was a false impression...many with priority tickets were also queuing and when they were called to enter..the queue shortened..and they only let a few from my queue in..if any at all....in the end, they told us they are stopping the queue..and gave me a discount card...so damn pissed...i queued from 915 to 1215..and all i got was the discount card...and to make matters worse...had a friend inside who fed me with smses such as.."this is an awesome place"..."this is freaking huge"...."the drinks are cheap and strong"..."mos rocks"..etc...*mutter mutter*

anyhow, saw a few "celebrities"...if you want to call them that....saw glenn ong...he was tall and not bad-looking..didnt now he was lanky....saw bernard tan or was it bernard lee or bernand xxx..anyway, he's the radio dont know what....he was with glenda chong...nothing much to comment...saw tanya chua..not too bad...that's about it..hahahaha...very few in fact...but i must say, there were many nice cars...saw quite a number of bmws, a few ferraris, a few lamborghinis, mercedes cls, etc...

after the "sorry, better luck next time" by the people of mos....me and pals head over to club momo...i wanted to go home...as my mood was so totally spoilt..but becaues another friend just arrived..we decided to try our luck at momo...no queue...everything was normal..rather crowded inside...but alas, i was really in no mood to party anymore....all the disappointment and pissnes..just kills all my dancing and drinking cells...*mutter mutter* went off after a while...sighz...

actually recieved an sms from mos saying that it's ladies retro night on wednesday...but i think i shall give it a miss...what if i went and i couldnt get in again...cannot afford to stay up so late...need to wake up damn bloody early to work the next day....think i better go mos when the hype dies down...but then again....I CANNOT WAIT!!! *laughs*

now am making an appeal....whoever has access to mos...please message me...please email me...and try to contact me in whatever methods you can....i will pledge allegience to you...and your wish is my command...*laughs* think a friend of mine might have the chance to gain membership....think i better start sucking up to him...*laughs* oh my god...where's all my integrity and all....*sighz*

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS MOS!!!!!!!

genting highlands

isnt this view beautiful? okay maybe my photography skills are not that fantastic...but i thought it looks like we are somwhere up above the clouds....so romantic...just imagine i have a three carat diamond ring and i can put my hand up against the sky and it's like one of the stars...*laughs* anyway, this was taken from my hotel room...went genting with my whole family - 16 of us over the weekend...quite enjoyable but yet...there were moments of unhappiness...*shrugs*

(1) First cable-car ride: this trip up is my first cable-car ride up...havent taken the cable-car for a long time...i think the last time was in 1995 when i went to HK...*laughs* anyway, i think taking the cable-car is much faster and more fun...usually, my dad will drive us up...and i will get all giddy...breathtaking scenery of the tropical forest....although frankly speaking....i dont really know how to appreciate flora and fauna...*laughs*



(2) finally had the chance to take the rides...bought the outdoor theme park tickets for 34 ringgits...but only managed to play 2 rides..*sighz* the queue is so damn bloody long...took 1 1/2 hour to queue for each ride...and the ride only lasted for 10 seconds...damn bloody sianz...but the rides are very very exciting...was screaming all the way...not out of fear..but out of fun..because when i'm really afraid..i wouldnt be able to scream...*laughs* took it with my auntie and my bro's girlfriend...as the phobia for height runs in the males of my family...these 2 rides gave me the feeling of being thrown off the seats...which is fantastic...*laughs* too bad didnt have the chance to ride on other rides...

this is the rollercoaster which has a weird name...

not sure what you call this..but this is damn fun!!!

(3) because there are 16 of us...it's rather difficult to coordinate our meals...everyone has different opinions on what to eat and where to eat..but most of the time...uncle b will decide for us...not that his decision is not good..but somehow, he's rather stingy...he will order very little food and complained that we are all gluttons...but for goodness sake...as what my mum always say...there are 16 of us..and each plate only have 4 pieces...obviously 2 plates are NOT ENOUGH... and if we didnt follow his "instructions" on what to eat...he will be damn bloody pissed and complained that the food is horrible and it's so damn bloody expensive...frankly speaking...it's spoiling EVERYONE's mood...bloody hell...my mum always say..." he's too full of himself..making himself irksome.. " which i agree to a certain extent!! anyway, here's a picture taken after one of our meal...we made the napkins into rabbits...*laughs*



(4) oh went gambling at the casinos...*grins* and played at the table instead of my usual jackpot...but i tagged along with my uncle s and used his money...*laughs* he had 300 ringgits worth of chips and we lost ALL OF IT...actually was on a winning streak..but then i guess our luck went out...but it's alright..my uncle s said it's ONLY 300 ringgits...actually he's right..to him..it's only SGD150...this amount is nothing to him...given that he will buy his wife a LV bag almost every month...*jealous* but uncle j is really lucky..he won 1000 plus ringgits at his first try... so in other words, this trip to genting is FREE.... lady luck loves him...but my uncle b took his 1k and refused to let him continue playing...*laughs*

(5) one thing sad is that we did not manage to take a family photo...everytime we wanted to take picture..uncle b will be very anti-social...if not...we stopped for a while..uncle b will get irritated and say we are wasting time...if we dily-daly, uncle b will simply say we are a bunch of ignorant idiots...put is simply, he's simply the spoilt-sport...everything he said and suggested equate to FUN...and everything else equte to SILLY...this is so damn irritating...and if i were to rebutt him..he would tell my granny that i have become very rude and blah blah blah....*sighz* actually didnt take much pictures of people....just took rubbishy pictures...so sad...*sob sob*

in summary, i think we spent 50% of the time on the coach...20% of the time in the hotel room and 30% of the time loitering around...i wouldnt say that i totally enjoyed myself...but i wouldnt say that i totally hated this trip...i think i would say...it can be better...but anyhow, it's an enjoyable experience...

this is my naughty cousin, always hate it when i touch him....he's so damn bloody cute..couldnt resist not to show him off to people....when i took this picture..i went..."Keafe....1, 2,3" and he simply posed and smiled for me...

bye bye..

a group of colleagues organized a farewell lunch for me...my last day is next thursday, 15 Dec 05 and this group of collegues gave me atreat at this buffet restaurant - vienna, in united square...there was a wide variety of food....free flow of sashimis,meat, soup, dim sum, prawns, oysters, etc etc...so niceee...food was good, fellowship was good..and we took some pictures....


clockwise: ronald, me, jill, melissa and yi lin...


clockwise: ronald, me, yong soon, melissa and yi lin...

can anyone spot the difference? *laughs* basically, we change the photographer!! *laughs* kinda funny, forgotten to get someone to take picture for the 6 of us....think we were too happily laughing away at each other...we were chatting about movies, books...about ronald owing me a rolex...about yi lin giving us a treat because she's late...about me spreading the flu to everyone...mmm...we are all not young anymore, but it seemed that our conversation is kinda childish...*laughs*

after lunch, ronald went home as he's going to sentosa to moontan...and mr lee went off to his swimming session..dry swimming...*laughs* guys...they really do funny and interesting things right...then it's shopping time for us ladies....we proceeded to novean square....because yi lin wanted to buy shoes...and she did buy 2 pairs...and i bought 1 pair...*laughs* couldnt resist the temptation....and then we proceeded to the addidas shop...and my dear friends bought me this:



this is my VERY FIRST pair of sneakers...so pretty right...just like meee......*grins* this pair of sneakers came in at the right time....am going genting this weekend..would need this pair...and then my new job allows me to wear casual on fridays...and so now i can wear this pair!!! *yeah* need to get more white tops to go with my sneakers...*laughs* sighz..this is how i shop and buy more and more and more....tsk tsk...

and next on my list is a pair of levi's jeans...tried on 3 pairs...and one of them fitted me so snugly and beautifully...but i didnt buy it because i need to look around more...heh heh heh... then i tried this princess cut version of levi's jeans...before i tried, the salesgirl said that not everyone can wear this pair as there's some gathers at the knees area and if the legs are not long enough...the gathers will not be at the knees...and lo and behold!! my knees fall right into the gathers...which concluded..i have long legs and please call me PRINCESS HANNAH...*laughs*

small chicken

this little thing here seemed to be the most popular now... kids, parents, adults seem to be very very keen about this...especially after the cute trailer or rather advertisement on switching off all mobiles..where chicken little dance to the most irritating song of the season...*laughs*

anyway, got free tickets to catch the movie today...courtesy of the bank that never sleeps...*grins* and comes with free popcorn, drink and a lanyard...although i would prefer nacho with cheese...because am not really a big fan of popcorn...anyway, the theatre is at GV grand...and it's damn huge...amazing...

although this little thing seemed to be quite cute..but i didnt have a good impression of the movie because of channelnewsasia...their movie reviewers didnt not give very good reviews..so i wasnt expecting too much...frankly speaking, it's not fantastic..but it's not as bad as how the reviewrs had graded it...the graphics are really really really really good...as for the storyline...it's rather lame but entertaining...at least it got the the children laughing non-stop although there were times..when i laughed..NO ONE was laughing...but when eveyone was laughing..i kinda dont catch the joke...*laughs* for example, there was this scene when one of the duck shouted something like..." we are being invaded, just like war of the worlds"..this i found it rather hillarious..but NO ONE was laughing...and when chicken little did funny stunts like using soda bottles to help him to "fly"...all the kids laughed and clapped...*shrugs* guess the kid is in is a rather mature one...*laughs*

talking about chicken, why is it chicken little? this thing is supposed to be a male..shouldnt it be cock little? *laughs* but then again..cock little sounds a bit rude in some sense...and funnily, i didnt see any horses in the movie...maybe horses are too big...difficult to fit into the neighborhood...the songs of the shows are kinda nice...i likeee...and the pig loves to sing...so cuteeeeeee.....

however, my heart still belongs to harry...although am rather disappointed with the movie, but harry is still my favorite kid...*smilez*
