eventful
Tuesday, September 28, 2010 |4:46 PM

While preparing for work, I was tuning to Yes 93.3 - 就是万人迷 and the DJ, Cruz Teng mentioned that over the past 2 months, Singapore was very busy as she hosted 2 important sporting events - The inaugural Youth Olympics and the Singtel Grand Prix. Both events were very successful and the organisers received much affirmation from the public. Being a Singaporean, of course I am proud of my own country. In fact, I was suppose to be a volunteer for the Singapore Youth Olympics but due to work commitments, so I wasn't able to take leave. As for the Singtel Grand Prix, I always wanted to be a volunteer but too bad, I reckon they prefer guys. (perhaps the organisers know that if females are involve, we will be busy taking photos instead of marshalling. :p)

Besides my home country being so eventful for the past few months, my life have also been quite eventful at least for the past few weeks. 1 significant change in my life is - I've not been shopping much for the past few months. Occassionally, I still do buy clothes, but mostly from online. The conclusion is that for 1 dress that I purchase from the physical shops, I can get 2 dresses online. Afterall, the price difference is to pay for the rental of the shop. (I suppose). So..where do I do my online shopping? For clothings, my favourite is this website: http://dressabelle.livejournal.com/ and when I don't know what I want to get but just want to look around, another website to visit is this: http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard. Of course purchasing online runs its own risk. So...1 key thing to note is..try to look out for comments/reviews from people who bought from the website :) And now...I shall showcase 1 of my proud purchase:

 Mini Hair Straightener and it comes in PINK! It costs only $10!

Besides ranting about my online shopping deals, I've also been meeting up with people. Remember the flea market that I participated a few months back with some friends? Last Monday, we met up for dinner. We were suppose to meet at Big O at Paragon but fortunately, we ended up at Ding Tai Fung. Phew..not that I have anything against Big O but eating there will ruin all my gym-ing efforts..I was so glad to meet up with Kelly and Anna. (the other 2 girls besides Ruth who joined in the flea market) At the very least, now Ruth and myself know more about what Anna likes to do..and can you imagine, the thing she likes to do the most is what I hate the most..but well the good thing is -> ruth is the middle man (cause she don't hates the activity but neither is she a fan of it.)

 Myself and Anna @ Ding Tai Fung.

After a late night out on Monday, which I usualy avoid due to Monday Blues. Tuesday was quieter as it was a "head straight home" day for me. Wed was my date with MF and come Thursday, I drove all the way to Parkway Parade for Hip Hop classes and finally came Friday where I met someone whom I have not met 1-1 for like 2 months? (It seems long because in the past I have to meet her everyweek). We met at Vivo and damn..I wonder why everyone likes to crowd at Vivo on a Friday night cause all the dining places have snaking queues! Sat came by in a flash and because it was the F1 weekend, the smartest choice was to avoid the Suntec Area. Together with some of the CG people, we headed to Singapore Art Museum for Digital Nights. Personally, I was quite disappointed by it as I was expecting more from it. However, on the brighter side, after 29 years living in this small island, I finally visited a museum.

 A Digital Experience - Sound and light interactive installation. It translates Visual System's representation of a city of the future, inspired by the artist's vision of Shanghai.

Ultra-Nature

All in all, we only spent about 1.5 hours there and most of the time, we were looking at other stuff such as paintings rather than what we intended to see. I think the best part was that there was a mini flea market happening outside the museum and it seems like many people were spending more time outside than inside the museum..No complains though, coz at least for now I get to say, I finally visited the Singapore Art Museum!

the exterior.it was nice but my iphone camera is just plain lousy to capture the beautiful sight.

Sunday came and gone in a flash. After a late night out on Sat, because I went to watch Wall Street (Money never sleeps) after the visitation to the museum, I woke up early on a Sunday morning as I wanted to visit the Hope Kids Service. My 2nd time going there to volunteer and oh man..it's enjoyable. After a late night out + waking up super early..the last agenda of the day was heading to Aloha Loyang for my secondary school friend's son 1 year old birthday party. 不认老都不行..even her older son is 3 years old and he's huge!

Marilyn said the cake was a disaster but I find it looks kind of cute. Make a guess how much this cake cost?

All these 小朋友 are all my secondary school friends children. They are like Do-Re-Mi...

长周末到今天,又追完了一套台湾偶像剧。。总共21集。7 天就看完。。品均是一天三集。。不错。 但不是 record breaking lah.

First got to know of this show sometime in February after watching 下一站,幸福. This show was premiered in Taiwan after 下一站,幸福 and it ended sometime in July. Oh well..when I first know of this show, it didn't really catch my attention simply because the actors weren't my favorites. But on a closer look, 1 of the actor is 温升豪 so I decided to give it a try. I mean the show is nice, the usual taiwan love story. But I was hoping that there is a twist to the ending.. Why must it always be a fairy tale ending? Why can't the male lead be heart broken that the girl he likes ends up with someone else..hahah..yes this is the twist I hope to see in taiwan shows. Oh yeah..after finishing this show..it makes me feel like going to Taiwan again...








Group Finance - Team Building 2010 - USS 9 Sep
|10:37 PM

Finally..after rounds of voting, months of discussion, endless changing of dates, 66 of us from Group Finance and also the ERM team went to USS on the 9 Sep 2010 on a lovely Thursday morning :). Most of us were hoping that the weather will be kind to us but it turned out to be a super sunny day and also because it was the school holidays so the place was PACKED!! For some rides, it took about 75 mins so some of us didn't want to wait. :(. But oh well..who cares about the weather not being very kind to us..we still had fun and of coz knowing the people in the team whom we don't work with often.

60 plus of us here on a bright and sunny thursday!
evelyn and myself on the bus to universal studios. Though both of us are very tired but we both are excited as well :)

me @ universal studios entrace. It's super cooling to stand here coz of the vapour.

the rest went for their toilet break and the 3 of us were resting and snapping away happily

*hiao-ing* my new sunnies.

Our team, Our theme for the day - Care & Concern! See the lady next to me? She's my new boss :p

Initially we wanted to wrap Poh Guan up as the "mummy" but when we saw the pathetic roll of toilet paper we were given. Our decided that Winnie was a better choice coz it will take lesser toilet paper to wrap her up.

2nd take. Winnie very 可怜 coz it was very hot

Various teams models. Besides the 2 "mummies", can you guess what are the rest dressing up as?

Cars are my favourites. Though not a skyline, but a vintage car looks good as well :)

While strolling to our 1st destination, we saw the 1st Hollywood mascot. Betty Boop! Her make up is super thick. But when Yaowei saw this pic, he commented "why Betty boop so skinny?"

After a short walk under Mr Sun, we arrived at our 1st destination and while waiting for our turn, its photo taking time!

This ride must have tactic one..don't look everywhere.look at a stationary item. coz will get giddy one. Me with - Whee Shin, Yen Ling, Jennifer and Sarah. 

and in another is - Idy, Winnie, Poh Guan and Cara

We reached our 2nd destination. It's called Ancient Egypt (if i didn't remember wrongly). The ride was fun, but only 4 of us dare to take coz its a high speed roller coaster.

We weren't allowed to bring our bags in. But thanks to Cara she brought her hp in and while queuing for our turn to take the ride. We suggested to cam whore inside.

yay! we conquered the "mummy" ride. strike a pose!

This ride only took us 15 mins to wait. It wasn't scary but it brought back child hood memories.

yap..the theme of this dinosaur ride is what you see above

2nd ride completed. Mission almost accomplished

Like this castle feeling? It's called the far far away land if i am not wrong. Shrek's hometown.

Shrek 4D.Can you see the queue? Just taking a quick shot before proceeding for our lunch. I am FAMISHED!!

This represents 真好吃. 说真的 when you are hungry, almost everything tastes nice.

After a satisfying meal in a air conditioned place and seats as well, we went to queue for the Shrek 4D show! Idy, myself, Winnie, Sarah and Cara.

and we proceeded to this. Winnie and I chose to sit at the "wet zone" while the rest chose the "not wet zone".
these people are really stuntmen and stuntwoman and I was quite impressed by them.

An act of love. The meimei was tired and the brother piggy back her. *sweet*

While waiting for the rest @ the Shrek Shop doing their purchase, I whipped out my camera and started snapping...

Mr Donkey and myself.

Whee Shin & Hwei Yen. Our management accounting manager and tax manager.

大孩子的玩意儿。。。
what else? 自恋
I could only manage to catch Puss in Boots from afar. By the time Winnie and Myself spotted him, the queue was already cut off. *sobsob*

But I manage to ambush Princess Fiona & Shrek together with Winnie at 1 corner!
I like to move it move it!

车是我的最爱 or it ranks as 1 of my top interest. Can they put the tokyo drift cars there?

Soon after Winnie and I decided to break from our team coz we wanted to "chase" after the mascots. So the 2 of us decided to stay near the walk way and "ambush" the mascots and I found Woody Woodpecker making its presence. So faster grabbed Winnie while she was shopping half way and we chase after Woody.

We were 1 of the 1st in queue for a picture with Woody. I always wondered how can a mascot endure the weather on our Sunny island but RWS really takes care of them and put them at places which don't have much sunlight.

A stall that sells ex Hollywood stuff. Includes Elvis and Marilyn Monroe.

giving a hug to Kung Fu Panda! 好好抱 wor!
this is the pop corn car..too bad we were heading for dinner. else i sure grab a bag. The smell of pop corn was alluring.

You know who is he? Mr Frankenstein. He super got attitude one. I wanted to imitade his pose and he beat my hand.

ok..another one with him.

The team headed for dinner at a restaurant located at HarbourFront and look at our tired faces.

After a tiring Thursday, I must admit 人不认老都不行. I can remember when I was younger for a day in the sun, it only took a night's rest to recover. But right now..after a day in the sun, I took like 3 days to recover.  But who cares about the tiredness and the sunburnt..it was great fun knowing people and reliving childhood :)))
