I need a BOOST

Whenever I took a cab, most of the time the cab drivers would complain to me that it was hard to get a passenger nowaday. In addition, newspaper reports would also feature cab drivers pouring their woes about high rental coupled with lack of businesses.

BUT now I don’t quite believe these stories! I waited for more than 1 hour at one (BIG Shopping centre) taxi stand for more than an hour, but there was no available cab in sight (ALL are on call) ! Tried my luck by calling a cab, but apparently the cabs were fully booked. Mind you, fully booked! So it means, business was good rite? Argh! The waiting queue was long, and there were people (not in the queue), who actually flagged some (available) cabs when they are driving towards the taxi stand, and you know what? The cab driver actually stopped and ferried them! So PISSED OFF!

Sigh..really regretted waiting + taking cab, because I could have reached home 2 hours earlier (one hr of waiting + journey)..but then, I have to fetch Mr. Lim @ depot road, which was super duper wu lu, if not, he would have a hard time going home too. Blame my (our) luck then..

I would think that when I reach home, I could wash up and sleep..BUT, in the end, I have to mop the kitchen, because it was simply too OILY!!!! What a good Thursday!

So today, I am kinda of cranky – lack of sleep!

I need coffee for energy boost! I need sweet stuff for mood boost!



TGIF!

Call me “mountain turtle” or what, but I am so impressed with the services of DHL (and of course the online site which I ordered my book). I ordered the book on 18th April 2010 via the website, and because the book would only be launched in Taiwan on the 23th (Friday), and the next day was Saturday, so my book was only “flown” into Singapore from Taipei airport on Monday, and I got it yesterday! DHL personnel actually delivered the product to me around 11am on Tuesday, but I was working, so I scheduled a time at night, and they are most happy to accommodate my schedule! So if I didn’t consider the weekend, it meant my order could be delivered to me within 2-3 days from overseas! WOW! I seldom bought stuffs online, and the last time I tried, my order took almost 1 month to reach me (from Taiwan too). SO so so, this time round, the services by DHL and the online site really exceeded my expectation! Thumbs-up!

And and and, I love my book! It is a book on various makeup tips by the famous Taiwanese make-up artist – Kevin 老师。Kevin 老师appears on the show "女人我最大" frequently and he has excellent makeup skills! I am sure xiang ge knows who he is =P. The book that I bought online was Kevin 老师’s second book (the first one was also very good, with many make up tips!), which provided a lot of tips, and also, how he transformed 20 素颜 ladies into very stunning ladies! It is so ironic, I seldom make up, but I like to read such books! Haha – But I am very selective lor. =P

I'm super pissed off now!! I am made to stay back to do some work, but the person who asked me to stay back is NOWHERE TO BE SEEN!!!!

He still dare to tell me it is only for a while!!! WTH!! It is now near to 7pm, and today is Friday, can!!!

ARGH!!! is it because 我好欺负?!!!!

真是气死人了！！

Sigh I must have been feeling the stress from the piggy period - if not, I will not have agreed to share that sinful mudpie (@ coffeebean) with Shaffaan!! Sinful la! There goes my dieting plan.

SOBZ

My weighing machine says that I have put on weight. 0.6kg! But Mr. Lim says it is due to my "fat" becoming “firmer” = heavier after all the exercising lately. Nonetheless, I just believe what my eyes have seen.

It is Monday A.G.A.I.N and it is the piggy period. Busy busy and busy. But somehow, I prefer to have things to do, then to slack myself all the way from 8.30pm to 5.30pm, and coupled with nothing to charge on my timesheet =(

Glad that I had a good weekend, starting with last Friday. Met Xiang ge for a dinner @ Sushi Tei, and I realised that I have never been to the third level of Raffles City Shopping centre. =_=iii Japanese food is my favourite cuisine though I don’t eat Sashimi – weird right? So I am pretty happy when Xiang ge “jio-ed” me for a Japanese dinner. Hehe.

I like the ambience and setting of this Sushi Tei outlet. Very cozy (though the whole place is similiar to a maze) and the services was pretty fast too. Must go again!



My dinner



Golden roll ( with Mango, prawn) - Quite nice =)





Xiang ge's Sashimi



Even though it was considered a quick dinner, and lack of the fun element, I still enjoyed my evening having dinner with Xiang ge. Oh, and Thank you Xiang ge, once again for the treat =)

I am pretty delighted that I have managed to clock a distance of 10km last week in preparation for my 10km Passion run in May. Even though I have been jogging regularly, it is my first time participating in such event, so I have to train my stamina to the max! So this week, I have to increase the distance!

I remembered I hated jogging when I was younger, and as you can guess, I never passed my 1.6km / 2.4km NAFA test when I was in primary and secondary school, and I always have to do the re-test, but still failed in the end. I guess I just didn’t have the determination and perservance to continue. Don’t know what comes into me, I began to like running in my JC days, and of course, I finally passed my 2.4km run. =)

I am glad that Mr. Lim likes jogging and introduces me to go for small “marathon” – guess, it is a good form of hobby which both of us can do together. =) I like the after effect of finishing a run – feel happier, feel lighter, feel not-so-stress, and increasing the bonding with Mr. Lim. =)

I think I have to encourage myself to go for a jog tonight, especially my mother in law made me tonic soup last night, which seemed very oily =( Sigh..why good food = fatty food?

Simple happiness

A Banana walnut muffin + a cup of coffee = my lunch for the day.

Simple sweet stuff always makes my day no matter how sucky I felt earlier.

Good Friday

It has been a while since I last updated my blog, not because I am busy, but because I am lazy + nothing interesting about me to blog. It is April already, time really passes fast. I hope June will come faster, so that I can go for my Hokkaido trip! Can’t wait! Haha.

Anyway, on last Friday (Good Friday), Mr. Lim and I went for a one night hotel stay @ Intercontinental hotel. It was a colonial style hotel, pretty nice, however, personally, I feel that their customer services can be improved. I have encountered much better services lor.

Nonetheless, I like their Olive Tree Restaurant. Their breakfast buffet was very sumptuous! As breakfast is my most favourite meal of the day, I am very delighted to see a wide selection! (so sad that I was unable to take alot of pictures, because there were too many waitresses/waiters around =p)

I like the feeling of waking up early, have a nice cup of coffee and have a nice nice breakfast – without the need to rush to work. =) Even though I don’t eat a lot, I like going for buffet meal! Haha.
