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.)

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.

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...
