Lunar New year....woof woof

Well well how's the ang bao collections?! Is the amount subsential or barely enough to cover the losses at cards/mahjong? hehehe. New yr came alittle early this year. Seems that there is not enough built up of the mood . Most of my friends and I thought that the mood isn't that cheery this lunar new yr. Another surprising thing is I didn't do the usual this new year, that is going chinatown. I suppose it would be nice to be there...jostling with the crowd, soaking in the festive mood. It's alittle too late for that now, though I should be dropping by the Hong bao river at Marina . There will be fireworks at 9.30 pm ,every night till the closing of the event! I just caught it along my corriodor :P It lasted appox 3mins. So what are u munching on right now? Pineapple tarts? chococlates? peanuts? or love letters? Which is your favorite new yr goodie? Mine is pineapple tarts! Ok. enough writing. Enjoy the photos :) What we feast on for reunion dinner = ) Card mahjong session Grandma, brother and cousins :) *click on photos for bigger image *

Have a very very Doggy New Year!!

Have a wang wang woof woof Lunar New Year!!

Near drowning situation

yeah..as what my title suggested... I was in such a situation today. Went swimming with my friend Chong wee, at Toa Payoh pool. The incident occurred after we swam for 35 mins. I kinda adjusted my goggles and little did I realised it didn't fit firmly on my face. Water seeped thru and my vision was clouded. I can never be like some people...they are able to open their eyes in the water. With that ..i started getting all panicky. I wasn't in the deep area yet, but kinda lost it. Tried to swim my way to the wall, and was gasping for air, drinking in lots of water in the process. It was terrible, I can feel myself losing it. I kept reminding myself to hang on and I am not too far from the first lane. Those few mins (couldn't have been more than 3 mins) felt like eternity. I was relief upon reaching the wall. What surprised me was no one seemed to have realised what has actually took place. I suppose I appeared normal to them. But no one was around me when it happened. There were about 4 lifeguards around!! They must have been skivving. I am not sure if I could say I had a close brush with death. The instinct to survive was strong at that moment. I wouldn't want to think of the consequences if I didn't manage to swim myself to the wall. It's time I really take charge of my life and not waste time on frivolous issues and things beyond my control. A good friend reminded me that I should take this Lunar New yr to spring clean my heart...and detox my life. Let's all do that and trash out all the junk and unhealthy feelings we all have!!

PMS days are here

Listening to---Michael Buble*HOME* Been having the usual monthly PMS these few days. Jaded, moody, cranky, crappy. Not much mood to blog as well. ------------------00000000------------

Sunday morning entry

Just discovered 2 blogs. Thought it would be nice to share with u guys. Do take a look. The photography's great. Well..at least 100x better than yours truely. http://blog.sleepydays.net/ This is in japanese. Doesn't matter coz the photos in the blog captivated me. It's more or less about daily life of 2 japanese kids with their mum (in spore) http://www.chubbyhubby.net/ Interesting updates on food. It's a food blog. He takes awesome photos as well.

hmmmm...i just made myself a nice mug of ice milo!! Saw a new tin of milo in the kitchen-- australian receipe!! Don't get the other one. The aussie one has a richer taste. It has a similar taste to hot cocoa :) Ah...realised I haven't been updating my blog for a few days. U can say that I have been eating and eating... there goes my diet plans. ------------------------*****---------------------- Thursday Nite Venue-Liquid Kitchen Seragoon Gdns Chrissy called me for drinks when I was about to go home (was at bugis village). She was so sweet..picking me up at bugis. Anyway..she suggested Serg. gdns. Quite a few cafes have mushroomed in that 'lil area since I last went there. Quite sua koo..its my first visit to liquid kitchen. The ambiance was okay, plus it wasn't crowded. Ah, it was quite coincidental that both Chris and I wore the same black top :) ------------------------*****---------------------- Friday evening Venue- Carl's Junior Suntec City This sure is a week of first time for me! First time eating Pepper lunch, first visit to Liquid Kitche, and here's yet another first time! First time eating Carl's Junior. hahaha.. yah yah.. i know many of you out there have eaten Carl's . I am kinda behind times ya? As usual, it has been awhile since i last shopped at Suntec. Carl's junior took over Fish and Co at the basement. Fish and co is now located near the fountain area. Lots of restaurants there were given a facelift. I had the Charboiled Santa fe chicken burger, while my friend ate one of the bigger burgers. Carl's junior and Burger King kinda put the burgers at MacDonalds in a bad light. *no meat for the next few days * Feeling really fat*

Pepper Lunch

that was my dinner...@ pepper lunch.. nothing fantastic. I had the chicken and hamburger combo. :] -------------------------~~~--------------------

Yawn

I realised a lot of female bloggers love writing about their love lifes and men issues. I refrain from such entries coz it's just too close for comfort to be writing about such issues . I don't think I would like u guys be it friends or strangers to be reading about them hehehe. I don't kiss and tell that much. ------------------------------------------------------------- I enjoyed my weekend.. someone showed a certain amount of attention on me . That kinda warms my heart :) Though somethings he did irks me slightly hahahha. Caught the movie Blood and bones last friday nite. It's a japanese production and it's not your typical feel good movie. Kinda perverted .
