There are still many 琐碎 things to do in the house:
1. Remove the 'console' meant for the DVD player from the master bedroom. Shorten it and fix it in the kitchen for the oven.
2. Install another nicer looking and longer 'console' in the master bedroom.
3. Fix up the lights for the dinning area.
4. Install shelvings for bomb shelter.
5. Tidy bomb shelter so that we can utilise it.
6. Clear stuff from bedroom 2 when bomb shelter is ready. Bedroom 2 has become our temporary storeroom now!
7. Clean up bedroom 2.
8. Re-wipe the wardrobes in master bedroom and bedroom 2 with antiseptic solution.
9. Clean common bathroom.
10. HDB will fix the new doors (main door, 3 bedrooms and 2 toilets) on saturday.
11. Another round of cleaning for WHOLE house because it will definately be super dirty after they fix the doors.
12. Last round of touch ups - painting, false ceiling. Hopefully won't have to do much cleaning after they touch up!
13. Buy crockery, utensils etc.
14. Rejected bedroom 2 curtains due to defects. Jimmy Textiles only have stock in August so have to wait till August for my new curtains.
15. Jimmy Textiles also need to change one of the blinds for my master bedroom because it came in the wrong color!
That's all I can think of for now.
Wa..come to think of it...it's not 'a little bit here, a little bit there lor'! It should be 'many bits here and many bits there'!

Really?!
Chanced upon this --> http://www.vervestudio.com.sg/home.html
''Our 45 minutes work-out sessions are highly effective and fuss-free. Clients are able to enjoy a session in any attire, be it a business suit or evening gown, just kick off your high heels or dress shoes, hop on the Power Plate® machines and in 45 minutes with our Acceleration Trainers coaching, you will have the equivalent of a two and a half hour intense traditional gym workout minus the sweat. No more gym bags or after work-out showers.''
After subtle senses I have my reservations about all these stuff. 还是 GYM 比较好!

I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE EURO FINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Argh!
Though I have not been following the season, I was intending to watch it after Candy mentioned it at Choo's house.
Walao!!! And I remembered it when I came home!! I set alarm for me to wake up to do report but not watch Euro Cup!!
I can't believe it!! I think I got early and very serious dementia! >_<'''

Housewarming!
First 'feeling' after viewing Choo's house - luckily my house not so big lor, if not clean like siao. As it is I am already cleaning like siao, and no matter clean how thoroughly it is still not clean!!
Had steamboat! As usual food and company was good!
Unfortunately it's back to work today (my off day somemore!!!!). I'd rather clean the whole house again, in replacement for work. Ya, possible only in my dreams.

Finally! Tickets have been booked!!
I tried to book the tickets (READ) but by the time it was at the payment page, the $19 tickets were sold out! Damn pek chek lor, because I had already typed in everyone's details! Decided to do the booking at Choo's house the next day since all of us would be there and it would be easier to discuss and make final conclusions.
We tried for the longest time at Choo's house to get on to tigerairways and jetstar websites. The internet connection was >.<''' lor! We gave up after a looonnnggg time and Candy volunteered to do it at home at night.
Ta da!! We finally succeeded!!! WE ARE GOING TO BANGKOK!!! The next task would be to book hotel and wait wait wait wait for the date to arrive!!! Excited! 5 gals - Kat, Candy, Wendy, Jinny and me!!

Kevin is so cute :)
Few days back I had buttoned my cardigan wrongly. Kevin, me and another person (cannot remember who!) were chatting at Kevin's work station. While we were chatting I suddenly remembered that my cardigan was buttoned wrongly and hence was adjusting it.
Kevin suddenly pulled out his small cushion and covered the side of his face and said: 'Aiyo 玲姐don't do this in front of me leh.'
Haha..this kid is funny la...

Bloody tired!
Been cleaning the house for the past 2 days. Can't seem to make the house clean at all! And the more we clean the more defects we found. Left the house at 12am, went to eat supper at Jalan Kayu and only reached home at about 130am.
It's cleaning day again after Courttomorrow later. Darn took leave but still have to go Court. And I need to wake up at 10am latest for gym.
And why am I up at this hour? To vet my intern's learning agreement. Really want to zonk out liao. Think can only sleep in another hour or so. Argh, why is it so different to vet her learning agreement? It only took me 1 minute to blog this lor.......I am starting to sprout nonsense.

I want to eat cow!!!
I am missing the tenderloin steak at Punggol Park! I want to eat cow cow cow! Hopefully this saturday can go / got time to go eat after cleaning our house.
The normal hawker sirloin steak I had a few days back cannot satisfy me!!
I have become a cow eater since I first tried the tenderloin steak at Punggol Park during Des' farwell party!! And thus far only the cow at Punggol Park can satisfy me!

Hardcore fans

I have 2 problems.
The problems occured to me when I was preparing for work and on my way to work this morning.
Problem 1:
I realised I have forgotten the numerous handbags that I have. I just digged out 2 from my wardrobe this morning. I have forgotten that they existed because I have not been carrying any handbags except for my laptop and gym bags. I am sure there are a few more lying around in the wardrobe, waiting to be unearthed.
Solution:
I came into office and tried to squeeze my shoe bag and gym clothes into my laptop bag. Ok everything fitted in nicely - laptop, adaptor, a PSR, my shoe bag and my gym clothes. So next time I shall carry my super bulky laptop cum gym bag (I hope it does not give way on me) and my handbag.
Problem 2:
How am I going to sustain my gym routine after I moved to Punggol? Sigh. Once move to Punggol don't think I would have so much 'freedom' liao. So sian. -.-'''
Solution:
Have not thought of one yet.

Peek-a-boo!
Marcus had a sneak preview of our new house today yesterday :))
Just downloaded some new and interesting songs on my ipod. Hopefully the more 'lively' rythem would motivate me on the treadmill. Otherwise I always feel very bored. :((

It's a new week...
Ya the tittle does not sound very interesting nor makes the writer look very enthusiatic about the new week...
But nevermind I'll try to be optimistic for the following reasons:

2. Chemical wash for our new house would be on this wednesday. Which means we can start to do our own cleaning from thursday onwards! Then next monday all the furniture would be coming in!
3. Calvin is back in action!
4. I'll most likely ask Alvin to buy the neverfull LV bag for me since he is going Europe!
5. July's coming and so is the 0.5 month bonus!
6. We're partying this friday!
7. Choo's back! More lunch kakis, free snacks during lunch, housewarming, gym, and ya she's my new 'neighbour' etc etc...haha...
Alamak why did I wake up so early this morning? Ok moi's going back to sleep then head to the gym at noon then to my new house!

My 2nd attempt at Body Step!
Well, it was my 1st attempt alone. Luckily I did not stick out like a sore thumb! :)) Nearly wanted to back out as initially there were only 5 people in the class including me. Thank goodness people started to stream in later.
Overall it was a good workout!

My gym story again!
I think I like Christopher's classes too. He stood in for a few of Calvin's these 2 weeks that Calvin is on MC. However, strangely he only has 2 pump classes and is not scheduled to conduct any combat classes at all. So sad...
Ok I have to start washing my gym clothes, otherwise no more clothes to wear for the coming week!

Is it really so?
A few people had commented that I looked slimmer. Su even said I look much slimmer today.
Hmm..how come I do not feel it leh? I only felt that my stamina is slightly stronger and that I seemed to be abit toner.
But I am still a loser at treadmill and tricep push-ups. Actually treadmill depends on my mood. I usually can do 20 minutes on a good day and 10 minutes when I feel lousy or super tired. Sigh....when will I see more results leh?
But I must continue to control my food intake again, especially the past few days, been snacking abit at office and eating dinner quite late. :(
Then again, with the amount of exercise I am putting myself through, it is 'injustice' that I have not lost much weight; and that it is not that I am binging because I am exercising. I still eat the same. I snacked even more and on more sinful food in the past lor. The equation just does not work out leh. :((
S-I-G-H
再接再厉吧!

Off Gym and Massage; On Shopping
Cancelled my massage and took off from gym to go shopping today! Went far east plaza with Elaine.
Bought a dress, a top, a cardigan, a pair of shoe, a pair of jeans capri and a tee shirt. Total damage about $160.
Tomorrow onwards must 'eat grass' and gym regime to continue. :))
Yeah, Calvin would be back next week!

Telok Blangah Hill And East Coast Park on 01/06/08!
The bunch of us - Ame, Heng, Spencer, May, Poh Poh, Shane, Connie and the kids went hiking at Telok Blangah Hill Park! We started at Harbour Front and ended at the Horticulture Park.
Hmm...the walk was not as interesting as the one at Pulau Ubin. Guess it was because we were just walking and walking and walking and it got kind of bored as the route was not as 'challenging' as Ubin. Well, looking forward to out trip back to Ubin again. We want to join the guided tour as we want to go to the Chek Jawa Wetlands during low tide!





The day ended with BBQ at ECP - yeah Bachelorette Party for Choo!!

Everything is just so ex!
Bought a sliding mirror cum storage cabinet, kitchen sink mixer, rain shower, 6 racks to put toiletaries, toothbrush and cups holder, standing mirror (the one that has magnifying effect on one side) and spray pipe (those small one to wash backside after poot poot) from Hoo Kee. All these cost $570 after discount.

I am in pain...
I think I can understand the pain of losing one's child.
My heart is in pain because I have to transfer away every one of my own cases. In return, I have to handle other people's cases. I feel just like a step-parent. Unfamiliarity because I cannot even connect their names to their faces, pain because of losing my own 'children' and frustration. Alot alot alot of frustration.
I am just going to be so unhappy and busy at work for at least the next few months....

I have 2 shadows
I have another shadow on top of the intern from SSTI. She is a new colleague.
Just found out today from other colleagues, as usual not from the horse's mouth (or rather bosses' mouth). Ok I wasn't around in office on Monday and Tuesday, but at least it would be much appreciated with just an e-mail notification from ANY one of them? Very difficult meh?
I wonder how I am going to squeeze 2 more persons into a room to observe me conduct an interview. If I were to let them observe 2 different sessions, then who should be given 'the honour' first? Does that mean I have to repeat myself twice for everything? I think I will have no problems becoming a teacher after 'buddying' so many people lor.
Nevermind, I am just going to squeeze everybody in and repeat myself once. No time to do so much....

So glad! :)
On the other hand, so glad that everything went well for Choo's wedding last night! She looked pretty and most importantly VERY HAPPY! Congrats to you and William, my dear friend. :))
Haha..Nancy came and saw the few of us at the reception counter and commented 'Wa! It's like coming to a PSB event hor?!' Haha....because out of the 5 'receptionists', there were 3 PSB and 1 ex-PSB staff. Stepped into the ballroom and the 2 emcees - 1 PSB and 1 ex-PSB staff. Hee....
Also, I am glad that my part of the RSVP list was very 准! 100% attendance! :)) Yeah!
Ok pictures to be posted later!

Calvin injured himself this morning. So he's going to be out of action for the next 2 weeks. Darren will be taking over all his class. :((
Also suddenly realised that the shawl I took to Choo's wedding is missing. Must have dropped it when I alighted from the cab because Yimei said she did not see it after I alighted. :((

!
Reading AT's blog has made me super upset. Have decided to cancel my full day time-off and return to office to work for half day on tuesday. Do the things those people want me to do and let them pile more on me.
Really shit. They had like how many months before AT told them she is going off to clear the shit, identify people to take over and they do so only now (ok 2 weeks ago). And expect me to do what? Take up the shit and eat it immediately. Then when they realised I am not the sort to keep quiet they go pile the shit back to AT. Now it seemed I am the one who sabo-ed AT because I dared to speak up. WTF.
It's ok I will 忍.
