Attended the family BBQ.

I love that chalet!

It was quite a waste though. Cause there were only a few of us, and nobody stayed over.

It's under utilised.

Met up with Valerie, after about 11 years.

She was my best friend in lower primary. Omg. Time flies.

It's good talking to her again. :)

20 January

Met up with Caili, Joanne, and Kaixiang after about 2 years.

Dinner at Sushi Tei, Paragon.

I like catching up with old friends. :)

Audrey's house for the FSV Gathering.

Went over earlier to help her with the grocery shopping.

We bought like 4kg of chicken wings, 5 bottles of 1.5L bottled drinks, 12 cans of beer, and some other stuff. And both of us struggled to carry it back!

So proud of ourselves, even though we had to stop a few times along the way. Haha.

The gathering was the usual, mahjong, poker, lots of fun, and laughter. :)

Watched Brothers with Marcus, Augustine, and Shibing at 3am!

We had the whole theatre to ourselves!

24 January

Dinner with the DTE Gang at Lavaedge, Oh Farm's new cafe.

The service and food is really good!

One of the waiter dropped the chicken wings on me, and it was freshly cooked! Haha. But the moment it dropped on me, about 5 staffs rushed to me with tissues and wet tissues. Good service. :)

Went to E!Hub to watch Tooth Fairy after dinner.

27 January

Timbre @ Old School with the FSVians.

Audrey's leaving soon. :(

31 January

Attended Spinning Singapore 2010, a mass static cycling exercise with upbeat music and tempo.

It was tiring! But quite fun and felt damn good!

Especially after not exercising for so long. Haha.

New Year, New Look

1 January

Tiong Bahru for Steamboat with Audrey, Gloria, and Samantha.

The food there is good! I love it!

And the best part is that it's air conditioned and not stuffy!

Will go back there again someday.

Went over to Audrey's after dinner to check out prices of the plane tickets cause we want to go on a holiday! Sadly, there are no promotions and it's all very expensive. Will see how it goes.

I hope to go on a holiday with them again.

As we get older, there are more responsibilities and it will become harder for us to go for a break.

We should enjoy life as much as we can, while we can. :)

2 January

Spent the day doing my hair.

Rebond, highlight, treatment, and cut.

I had my hair washed 5 times today!

My hair's red now!

After my hair appointment, Sun Tian brought me to Shangri-La for supper.

Then he brought me to Zouk to take a look. Haha.

It's my first time going to a hotel for supper, and first time stepping into Zouk. :)

4 January

Went to watch Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel with Alvin.

Super cute!

5 January

Pasir Ris Park with Alvin.

It's been quite some time since I sat on the water breaker, with the wind blowing in my face, the smell of the sea, and the sound of the waves.

It felt awesome.

7 January

Got woken up at 6am by my colleague, informing me that one of my staff passed away due to a motorbike accident.

It's really sad.

I hope friends riding motorbikes will be careful, and friends driving will be careful of motorcyclists.

It was my first time attending a malay funeral, and well, it's sad.

Had a mini birthday celebration in office for Nana when I came back.

Happy Birthday Nana!

8 January

Stayed over at Yvonne's house together with Robin to do Sean's birthday present.

I love stay overs!

Makes me feel very close to them. Haha.

12 January

TBT went over to Sean's camp to celebrate his birthday for him.

I hope he likes the present. :)

TBT is so close now! I like!

13 January

Met Wayne after so long. The last time I saw him was about 5 years ago!

We went to Thomson for supper and caught up with each other lives. :)

14 January

Attended the health screening organised by my company, and had 3 vials of blood taken.

I was so sleepy after that!

Celebrated Azza's birthday during lunch.

It was meant to be a surprise, but she was in a rush for a meeting.

When she saw the waitress bringing the cake, she went "faster faster!". Haha.

Happy Birthday Azza!

Hougang Mall for dinner with Alvin, Yvonne, and Kaihong after work.

Slacked outside after that and Yvonne realised Alvin's slippers was the ladies' cut. Haha.

15 January

VivoCity with Wayne to watch The Spy Next Door.

We then met up with Yvonne and Kaihong for supper, before heading to Henderson Waves.

However, we couldn't find the way up and decided to call it a night. Haha.

I love night rides.

Goodbye 2009, Hello 2010!

Today marks the last day of 2009, and in a way, I'm glad.

2009 was a bad year for me.

Relationship

I had loads of fights, both minor and major, with X.

For certain periods, I locked myself in my room, skipped meals, cried to sleep every single night, and cried myself awake every morning.

It was horrible.

I felt so depressed that I called my dad at 3am in the morning crying, I called friends crying, and all I needed was a listening ear.

For someone who usually keeps everything to herself, this means a lot.

After more than half a year of dragging, I let it go.

I knew things will never be the same again, and I really don't have the strength to keep up the fight.

Friendships

New friendships were bonded, and certain friendships were lost.

I tried my best to salvage it, but it takes two hands to clap.

All I wanted to know was why things had to turn out this way.

TBT started hanging out together, and we got closer than ever.

It's been 8 years, and we have come a long way.

I love them, and thank them for supporting me, loving me for who I am, and not judge me.

After going through one of the lowest period of my life, I learnt who my true friends are, who I can turn to for help, who I can confide in, and who I should not trust.

Got closer to a couple of others as well, and I really thank them for all the laughters and memories!

We can do our best for our career and studies, but if there's one thing we can't control, it's friendships and relationships. It's hard to control one's own feelings, much less others'. We can only be the best of who we are, and hope that people will accept us and love us for who we are.

I took one year to learn this. And it is time to step out and enjoy life.

For the first time, I spent Christmas eve and New Year eve with my family. No partying, no stayovers, nothing. Just a simple BBQ at the chalet, and a simple dinner at home, with my family.

My new year resoultion for 2010 is to be the best of who I am, and live life to the fullest with the people that matters.

Genting & Christmas Celebrations

16 December

Prawning with Alvin and Xena.

Is prawning alone for hours really that fun?

Selegie soya bean with Alvin and Sun Tian after that.

Sun Tian sent me home in his Audi R8!

Damn awesome feeling!

17 December

Attended FSV16 at Shaw Cineplex.

It was good to see all the FSVians! Miss them so much!

Besides, Avatar in 3D is awesome shit!

Photo Album. (Photos 7-15)

I was in a rush to get home after the event and the taxi queues were super long, so Sun Tian came over in his Audi R8 to pick me up. The looks on the passerbys' faces were classic. Haha.

Reached home and packed my bag for my holiday trip, followed by Xena's stuff cause Sun Tian will be taking care of her while I'm away.

Brought her over to Sun Tian's and stayed there with her while she settles down.

18 December - 20 December

Went home at 4am, washed up, and left for Golden Mile at 5am with my family.

We were taking a coach to Genting.

It was already noon when we reached there. Spent the day shopping, and it was so boring! The only things I bought were some small gifts for my colleagues and TBT.

Spent the second day at the theme park. It was raining and most of the rides were closed though. :/ What a waste.

Headed for home on the third day. I was so happy to be going home. Missed Xena so much!

Although we didn't get to do much during this trip, it was a good break. And it was with the people that matters, my family. I love them, and I thank them for supporting me and always being there for me.

23 December

Left for work at 3.30pm for the department's Christmas celebration at Breeks, Changi Airport.

We had this gift exchange thing, and Stephanie got mine and I got hers! The funny thing was, we went to buy the gifts together! Haha.

Photo Album. (Photos 1-16)

Headed to Liang Court after that to celebrate Stephy's birthday.

Hope she likes the surprise and presents!

Pasir Ris Holiday Flats for a family BBQ.

It was a cosy affair, with some food, drinks, and the extended family.

Simple celebration with the people that matters.

Saw a baby owl when we were leaving.

Nothing is better than lying under the stars, enjoying the breeze and the company of close friends!

TBT went to Wild Wild Wet to support Alvin's event.

Took lots of photos and had lots of laughters!

Photo Album. (Photos 43-114)

Headed to Qi Li Xiang, Boat Quay with Alvin, Jeth, Trey, and Shiyun.

Sun Tian came over to join us after that and he was pretty down.

I'm glad that he trusted me enough to confide in me, and I hope he will be strong. :)

28 December

Grapevine with Alvin, Yvonne, and Kaihong.

I took a bus home that night!

So proud of myself!

31 December

It was Uncle Gomes' last day of work.

He gave us each a stalk of rose.

Everyone crowded around the receptionist area to hear his farewell speech. He then sang us a farewell song. People teared. For a moment, it felt like I was at a wake. It was that bad.

He's very nice, and treats me like a granddaughter.

I hate to see him go.

I'll miss him.

The office will feel so empty without him.

Yvonne's 21st Birthday Celebration & The Break Up

1 December

Attended the 'Powerpoint Design for Business Presentations' course with Stephanie and Hazel.

It was cool! It also made me realise how awesome Keynote is!

Went shopping with Stephanie and Stephy after class.

This season's clothes are not catered for short people like me! Pfft.

2 December

Walked the whole of Raffles City and Suntec City after my course while waiting for Alvin and Yvonne.

We were supposed to accompany Yvonne to look for her wig, but the shops were closed! Fated!

Went for ice cream before heading to Boat Quay.

Alvin's friend, Trey, came when he went to the toilet. Somehow, I had a feeling that he was Alvin's friend and was thinking whether to say hi. I confirmed that it was him when Alvin's phone rang. Think he somewhat knew it was us and came over eventually. Haha. Funny way to meet someone. :)

3 December

Alvin walked me home, and we brought Xena out to West Plaza to wait for Yvonne cause she is coming over to do her work.

It's not what we do, it's the company that counts.

It's her first time at my current house, and I'm glad my parents still remember her!

4 December

Went over to Yvonne's chalet after work. That poor girl still got to rush her work during her birthday celebration!

It was a cosy affair with TBT BBQing outside, even though it may make us seem anti-social.

I'm glad she loved the presents we gave her.

It was also the first time TBT hugged.

It was truly heart warming.

5 December

Went for K Lunch with Yvonne and Elisa.

I love that cap! Haha.

Was really super tired by then, so I headed home for a nap before going to the chalet again.

The celebration was a success.

Lots of people turned up. Caught up with a couple of my secondary school classmates.

We played some games and I had to drink a lot. Felt like shit after that!

6 December

Helped Yvonne to pack up her stuff before heading home to recharge myself.

She got shit loads of presents!!!

I'm glad that her birthday celebration is a blast!

7 December

Watched The Twilight Saga: New Moon with Robin, Alvin, and Yvonne.

The ending is horrible!

When it ended, I turned to Yvonne and was about to tell her how retarded it was when I saw her tearing! She said it was very sad. Haha. Wts!

8 December

Chilled out at Changi Airport with Yvonne, Kaihong, and Alvin.

T3's viewing gallery is super retarded.

All you can see is your reflections, and if you are observant enough, the shape of the planes.

9 December

Dinner at McDonalds', Kovan with Alvin, Yvonne, and Kaihong.

Alvin bought me a catcus!

On this night, I am officially single.

To X, thank for the all the memories, good or bad. :)

10 December

I had a hyperventilation attack, and Yvonne was such a sweetheart.

She got Kaihong to rush her down to my place to check on me.

They stayed with me till I was feeling better, and had to rush off for their appointment.

Aww. Love her lots!

Alvin then came over in the evening to bring me to the doctor.

I am really thankful for friends like them. Loves. :)

13 December

Dessert at Serangoon with Alvin, Yvonne, and Robin.

I super love the sofa seats and the setting!

Perfect for photo taking!

Dinner with Sun Tian and Yvonne at Whitesands.

Haven't met Yvonne for ages.

I miss hanging out with her!

19 November

Did OT and had dinner with Stephanie, Cerina, and Pauline at Gelare.

Gelare is changing their menu, so sad!

There were not much choices, so we ordered sandwiches.

The portion is so huge, it's enough for 2 person!

20 November

Met Yvonne and her friend, Huileng at Bedok Reservoir for a run.

Ran 1 round, and I was panting like mad.

Super weak now man.

Xavier drove us out for dinner, before sending us all home.

I washed up, drove Xavier home, met Stephanie and Stephy, before picking Hazel and Alvin up to go to Changi Airport's Starbucks to chill.

Sent all of them home and reached home only at 4am.

Been a long time since I stayed out till so late, and it has been a long time since I felt young.

21 November

Woke up at 7am cause I was helping out at the nEbO event, The Quest.

Was stationed at Elias Mall with a group of Quebec part-timers, and my job was to check answers and sign their game booklet.

Xavier picked me up after the event and I headed home for a rest.

Drove out to Chomp Chomp to meet Yvonne, Elisa, Robin, and Sean at night.

Sent Elisa back and the rest of us went to Sengkang to chill.

Picked Alvin up at Pasir Ris Park, then headed home to pick Xena.

Alvin.T, Enjie, and Woon Kiat were at my void deck, so we went over to Alvin.T's to pick Leo up, and I drove all of them to Jurong Hill to chill.

Sent all of them back home and reached home at 6am.

22 November

Brought Xena and Xavier along too.

Went for dinner at Bedok85 with Xavier.

Was feeling really down after that, took a cab to Alvin.T's place and met him and Leo. Teared in front of him. :/

Sat by the river after to chill after that, and only left for home at about 5am.

Really appreciate them for being there for me. Love you guys.

Headed down to Downtown East to meet Alvin for dinner, while waiting for the HR girls to reach.

Second round of Kbox for me when they reached.

Went home at bout 2am.

28 November

Shopping in Town with Yvonne and her friends.

Alvin.T came over to pick me up, sent me to Tampines to have my haircut, then back home to meet Agnes and Enjie.

Went in to JB for dinner.

Ordered a lot of dishes, and the bill was only $20 for 4 of us. Awesome!

29 November

Took a cab down to Sentosa cause I was bringing Xena along in her dog carrier.

When we were reaching, she vomitted! I couldn't let her out, so she had no choice but to lie in her vomit. Eew.

She was dirty, so I planned to carry her to where the rest were before cleaning her up. But the silly me walked the wrong way! Walked past Palawan, and to the end of Siloso before I realised that I was supposed to walk the other way to Tanjong!!!

She was too heavy for me, so walked back and stopped at Palawan to wash her up.

Yvonne and Elisa came over shortly to help me.

It was cool relaxing on the beach, but it was really tiring taking care of Xena.

Thank goodness they were there to help me.

Bumped into Alvin who was there with his friends. Haha.

Took a cab to Kovan and had dinner with Robin, before he drove Xena and me home. :)

Movies and Drama I watched with Xavier this month.

Season 1.

Season 2.

NCSU D&D

1 November
I drove my family to my grandma's place for her birthday celebration.

After the cake cutting, I met Xavier and we went to Ubi to look at car accessories, wanting to buy blindspot mirrors, but there weren't any reuseable ones.

I was pretty amazed at the car accessories though.

Drove to Haji Lane, but it was so packed there, we went to Chomp Chomp for dinner instead.

I went to pick my family up after they were done and my relatives were so amazed!

Brought Xena to Bedok 85 to meet Shi Wei for a drink.

After which, Xavier drove all over the place till I fell asleep.

Woke up to find myself at Jurong, and I took over the wheel and tried to look for Henderson Wave.

However, Xena puked, so we rushed back home.


2 November
Received news that one of my staff passed away.

It's very sad.

Life is so fragile.


3 November
Headed to Tampines 1 with the HR girls after work at 4.30pm.

Shopped around before rushing back for NCSU D&D.








Halfway through the dinner, I went outside to meet up with Alvin for a chat.

People were giving us weird stares, like it's wrong for 2 person from different departments to talk. Pfft.


10 November
Met Robin for dinner at Whitesands.

We had a chat about our secondary school clique, and I told him how I felt about that group.

Hopefully, things will be better.

I look forward to a group of close friends who can share laughter and tears together.


12 November
Attended The Quest's briefing.

I was supposedly done at bout 8pm, but I waited for Hazel and Stephanie and we had dinner at Bedok Interchange after they both were done, which was about 10pm.

Had a long talk with Stephanie on the bus. :)

I love the girls.


13 November
Fun Walk this year was quite sad.

It rained and only bout 50 people turned up.

Nevertheless, to those who actually came to support, thank you!

Love you guys!


15 November
Dinner at Siglap with Xavier, Sun Tian, Wei Da, Kok Boon, Raquel, Lek Meng, Jovin, Pei Shi, Janice, Jeffrey, and Jack.

Next was actually dessert at The Cheesecake Cafe, but they have this rule that everyone must order something, even though they only have 3 choices of cake that day, so we left for TCC instead.

A little business is better than no business. Right?
