every bit helps, do a good deed today. =)

addiction, boos!

im so hooked by typing maniac on fb, dammit.

updates!

26062009 Da Vinci Exhibition

How should I put it? Leonardo da vinci is definitely an amazing man with great intellect and ambitious vision. The entire presentation showcases his masterpieces in science, innovations and arts. Of course, his most famous piece being the painting of Mona Lisa. In fact, there were plenty of replications of his ingenious concepts of science (in my term, mechanical engineering), all the instruments of measuring wind stuff and physics and all. obviously, this section bores me as my poorest subject in school has always been the irritating science. ha.

i love his art pieces, especially the painting of the last supper. do you know that he has amazingly represented jesus' halo by the light behind him and the man actually 'measured' it so that it's centralized from the different angles of the painting? yes, i can keep on talking bout it.

bottomline is, the exhibition only reaffirms that he's a damn smarty-pants and all the big, noble stuff about him is real. it doesn't really have a takeaway at the end of the whole walk which takes around 1.5-2 hours. it's pratically:

'wow, he's good. ok, that's it. yes, we've been here.'

oh, i say the ticket is a lil' pricey. however, lookin at the digital images of the paintings, i will really love to go to the louvre and checkout the actual stuff.

ps: the roomie, shall we? haha.

pps: to the gang, the kang xi exhibition is over as of 14 jun (according to ACM's website) is there any extension?

27062009 Range at the Fairway Club & Lovely Steamboat Dinner

it's very near my place and yes, another lok-kok range. haha. and the bloody 100 balls cost me $7.50 on a saturday morning. bleah! however, i found out that the same 100 balls will only cost me $1.80 on a weekday from 8am-2pm. sweet revenge soon. =)

dinner was steamboat at ms wong's house! as usual, the girls love pictures.

we had a little more food than we can finish but overall, the mini-meetup was great! we were super efficient can, we bought, travel and prepare the food all in less than 1.5 hour. unity is strength! simply love these kinda gatherings among friends, super cozy and all yah. and we ended the lovely evening with a couple of rounds of phoebe's current favourite game - saboteur, grins.

28062009 Home alone

my folks and little brother went to my aunt's place over at the other side of the island. as for the other brother, think he's having a superb time with his friends over at KL still. i decided to rest for the entire day after the morning activity. thanks to the viral attack at my throat, i missed the brooks run this morning, i missed a lot of things and latest update, it still hurts. think im goin back to the cute doctor again if it doesnt heal by tues.

however, my boy (despite his tiredness) came over to hangout with me late in the evening. grin, i love to use the word hangout these days, i always ask if he wanna go hangout with me that particular day, way cool! haha, in my own little world.

yes, we did hangout for a while at jp and it was my first time at old town white coffee. verdict: quite good, better than expected. i love the honey lemon, nothin fantastic of course but it soothes my throat so much that i just have to love it.

i say, thanks sweetie! =)

alright, it's time to take my medicine and have a good night sleep. got to fight the monday bluuueees tmr. oh btw, i'll be out of town from this thur-sat, will be back on sat night itself. in case some of you are thinking, what?!? another holiday?!? rest assured, it's not. it's just the annual mid-yr goal setting. haha.

*drey, stop it! i can see your subtitles man!*

good night world!

finally.

took a picture of warren's range yesterday and ta-da, here's it.

it is neat and green, better looking than cdans one of course. the set lunch is pretty decent and affordable too. and i finally realize what's wrong with my swing for the driver. yay!!! the next thing to do now is to make sure it crosses the 100m mark, by hook or by crook. bleah!

ps: im still stuck at 50m and occassionally, it will roll to about 60-75m. my iron is much better than my driver. irritating!

Goodbye, MJ!

the most shockin news that i woke up to this morning.

while i flipped the papers, my brother simply announced

'jie, michael jackson is dead!'

and with my coarse and manly voice, i brushed him off and said

'dont joke with me early in the morning'

my mum then said

'yes, he's dead. no breathe.'

it was then i realized it's true after all. life is so unpredictable. no doubt his eccentric behavior and an unusual interest in young kids(boys), he's a man in his music and i remembered him as a mega-star back in the 1990s. sure enough, his music accompanied me through my primary school days and my all time favourite piece from him is heal the world. guess now that he's gone, people are finally back to appreciate more of his music than the scandals and all. in a way, life's sad isnt it?

No matter, RIP, M.J.

>.<

shucks, i sound like a man now. that is, with my low and deep voice.

bleah!

go away you virus!!!

sick again.

bleah!

i felt a discomfort in the throat yesterday and true enough, the body aches came later in the evening. that was the first night. tonight, my throat hurts even more. i guess i need to go look for the doctor for some antibiotics soon. shakes head.

while most of us are cursing at the hot weather, im wearing my adidas as i typed this entry. brrrrhhhh, cold.

i is so poor thing!

...

the roomie had been busy all day and neglecting me. yes, im complaining because im bored. in fact, i know i've no grounds to complain because i left him spending his time alone too when i go partying or mahjonging or hanging out with my budds. haha. anyway, i could have gone with him to the event but since today is father's day, i thought i should stay home and be my daddy's girl instead.

i believe the above illustrates the simple rule of life about personal space? or does it just speak of mutual understanding, communication, independence or all of the above?

relationship is such an amazing yet complicating part of our lives. most of us cant handle it and most of the times, we screw up and we want to give up. but as time moves on, we gather more experience, we give and take, we learn, we become better. the roomie and i screwed up too, but we found the light in the end because one of us is still hanging on each time. hopefully, this good habit continues, haha. still, a lot of people cant survive because of character, culture differences, background differences, etc. i say inevitable.

but somewhat, we realize it's the same shit all over again each time we start a new relationship. perhaps, why even bother? or because mankind are too complicated these days as well? flaws of a modern society? i say simplicity and innocence are way too far gone from us.

no shit, im so profound tonight.

btw, my MX 308 is sold.

grin, thanks chris! =)

GSS

it's killing me and my big time savings plan!

i hate it when clients are late; partially because of disruption to my schedule and thus the dominos effect but more importantly, the delay gives me time to walk around the malls. it's an especially dangerous period now that GSS is on, I practically see the vulgar 4-letters word 'S.A.L.E.' floating all around me and everywhere i go. I was at taka this afternoon (note: 230pm-430pm) and there were so many people enjoying the GSS, shopping, buying, shopping, buying; i was at tampines mall at night and there again, people shopping, buying, shopping, buying, WHERE IS THE RECESSION???

anyway, i've kinda thought of 3 NONOs when window shopping to save our pockets:

1. NO trying

2. NO communication with the sales rep

3. Just tell yourself NO!

im gonna clear my credit card bills and leave my cards at home. they're vulgar too.

alright confession, the only thing that im looking forward to is the upcoming zara sale.

*crosses my fingers and all*

updates!

let's start with what i can remember.

first up, warren golf & country club. went to the range with phoebe on tues and ta-da, was kinda disappointing that it's no better than cdans. neater field but lok-kok baskets, so same same but different, yada yada yada... didnt manage a pic as i forgot bout the camera and i was kinda lazy to walk back. the set lunch was alright though, quite yummy in fact!

and nope, i have not gone for the da vinci exhibition due to some miscommunication. and the kangxi display @ ACM is on the cards as well. let's be arty farty, it's the singapore arts festival now anyway. =) i see lots of people goin to the museum and places we seldom go, when was the last time you've been to the museum?

i thought i have lots to update. but guess what, my brain is failing me early in the morning, no shit. or perhaps, i can only remember my super early birthday present which the roomie got me yesterday. it's pretty, chic and it's what i have been longing for.

need i say more? it's totally gorgeous, weets!!!

grin, im goin to keep it until i cannot stand not wearing it. haha. whhhhheeeeeee!

do you know? i wake up to this almost every morning. it's part of my little unwinding ritual at night after a long day of work. i love throwing everything around and it will be cleaned again when im off to work. reason being, everything's thrown back into my bag. whaha.

super random post, i hope you didnt get lost. have a good day people!

cheerios. =)

upcoming events!

first up, the republic run on 28th june with the gang.

then, the bay run with ms chua and ms wong on 16th aug. grin.

in fact, i missed my adidas sundown because i overlooked my schedule and went for the sunny island holidays instead. guess the biggest event of the year will be the year-end stanchart run and of cos, do watch out for Run for Hope 2009 on 22nd Nov. Some background, run for hope is a fundraising event for the national cancer centre yeah and they do have fun run of short distances. if i can do it, so can you. =)

if you prefer to walk instead, no fret, come join us at the 'Walk for the Children' at chinese garden on 26th jul. in fact, it's also a fundraising event but for the singapore children society instead.

do your part for the less privileged.

awaked.amazed.

hi world!

yes i'm still awake at this unearthly hour and im indeed amazed by my capability of surviving with little sleep. am i cool or what? i think im nuts. guess the roomie has said something correct about high metabolism rate at night vs sleep patterns; both have kinda an inverse relationship. yepps, my bf's an engineer; always technical and all. urgh.

anyway, i got my golf shoes today at a real steal of $59.90 and coincidentally, it's exactly the same as ms wong! we bought the shoes a few hours apart and she apparently told me she got the last pair. guess it's the last pair for her shoe size la. still, happy cos i have 10 bucks suntec vouchers from my bro. effectively, i got my shoes for $49.90, whaahaha. we got the Driver Isabelle series. i've left the shoes in the car, so here's a glimpse of it from the website, except that our stripes are in black instead of blue.

damn, 322am already. i think im going bonkers soon if this trend carries on. before i say good night, some of the commuters who i've encountered on the smrt this afternoon are some of the most inconsiderate human forms i ever seen. pui. where is the love?

my sunny wednesday

tried out my new clubs at the golf range @ cdans this morning with steph & her beau. our pinkies are fantabulous! light and smooth, grin. i heart my new clubs! the place kinda stunned me though. this is my first time playin golf outside of marina bay's range and man, it was way too different. see picture below!

goin to play golf more regularly these few weeks as we're going for our handicapped in july. i is excited! =)

i wanna thank my daddy too for 'lending' me his new car. in a way, he helped made my transport more convenient for work and leisure, esp when my driver & iron 7 are always in the car now. in fact, i have a mini sports corner in the boot where my swimming gear, running gear and now, golf gear are always on standby. im still thinkin if i should import my blades as well. what say you?

and yes, you're right. it's the time of the night when i cant sleep again. damn!

perhentien vs bali!

i know it's crazy, but i really want to go holiday-ing!!!

when is my next holidays going to come?

now is a good time for all the sea activities and nuahing by the beach. =)

laoda, are we still going to bali?

(on behalf of all of us, haha)

help!!!

it's the time during the night when i cant get to sleep, despite me really wanting to get into sleep mode. urgh. tomorrow's gonna be a long day yah, i need my beauty sleep.

all i can think about is sleep, yet i cant. this syndrome has been on-going for a while already; it's always very tired-want to sleep so much-prepare to sleep-clock hits 130am-wide awake.

damn it.

Kasco pinky!

it's rare that i purchase stuffs in pink; it's simply too girlie and too much a softie, or so i thought. however, my new kasco golf set is in pink; grin, so are the clubs! i've a hunch that our coach will faint upon seeing 3 pinky sets. haha. did i mention that my quite new gloves are in pink too? got that few weeks back though.

with the new additions of my golf set, pinky and the silver sunday bag, coolie. my little bedroom has officially become a storeroom. btw, im lookin to sell off the brand new canon MX308. need to clear my room, any takers?
