My late night.

I just came back from a jog to Clementi Woods and then to supper at the famous 24hrs PRATA place near my house. The last time i went jogging was really sometime back already, so thought i might as well go for one tonight. Went jogging with my elder sis even though like half the time i was alone and she was far at the back.. see.. the reason why smoking is bad for you. I'm quite disappointed that she has went back to that killer habit, could smell the odour on her. Oh well.. but glad that we had this mini activity together as we seldom hang out or even get to see each other much due to our working hours. This streanous week has indeed worn me out, waking up at 630am for the past 3 days.. and hating my job for 9hours a day. Phew.. it is finally weekend. I'll be going Sentosa with new-formed family, know it's gonna be fun.. looking forward to it. I miss volleyball like so so so much, think i've forgotten how to play even. Sadly pei pei couldn't join us, she's my best volleyball training partner.. really missed those days we used to train together.

Our supper!! YUM YUM!!

Waiting anxiously for food.

Sis looking patient.

get me out of here

Today is my second day at work at Luxasia. It's so boring here i can die of boredom. And my job scope.. it's horrifying. I've to rush to diff depts, look for diff people to get their approval for this form that form, arrange delivery dates for products deliveries, call up outlets etc etc.. even changing the photocopy machine ink is also part of my job scope. I'm the only admin staff in the department so whatever sai-gang is also my job. There're 2 other division other than mine in our company so my division is just in charged of a few products such as Davidoff, CK, Marc Jacob, Chloe and about 5 others. I'm so sick of the job i have no idea how long i can hang in here. I miss those days where there are people i can chat and laugh with at work. There's no one to talk to here at all, my desk is like in a corner with another marketing exec, so i stare at my com she stares at hers. I miss those days where i can go out for lunches, here they don't have a habit of eating out, they jus get someone to go dapao and everyone will just eat in. We don't have much choice too, the nearest place where food is available is miles away. This place is ULU. Yes, i know i'm very whiny but i seriously am super troubled and feel cheated in fact. So what if i got a Dip in MCM, look what i'm doing.. a blardi admin job that a secondary school leaver also can do. I met a MCM graduate at my dept, knew her from the ARC competition i took part in some time ago. She's working as a Marketing Coordinator loh.. and me?? Sales admin.
God.. if this is a job you lead me too.. please show me some signs that it indeed is a blessing from you. I can't even bring myself to smile here. If you know me well, you'll know that i'm one who laugh at simple things and isn't usually sulky.. but here, i have forgotten how to smile.

UBIN TRIP!!

On Sat, we had a retard family outing to Pulau Ubin. We had a splendidly fun time together, cycling, coconut feasting and cam-whoring.

As always, i did fell down.. though not as bad, just some scratches on my knee. I could have had a really bad fall as i kindof lost control of my bike down a super steep slope. Three of us were challenging down this slope, and i was a little
gei-kiang and decided to peddle even down the slope when all of a sudden after this hump my bike started to shake terribly.. i couldn't even control it at all. I couldn't even scream at all cos i was dead frightened. As my bike kept shaking uncontrollably down the slope, i kept screaming for God in my heart, i have no idea how i managed to stop the bike in the end. But by His grace, i did not fall, thank God. Realised i'm getting clumsier and clumsier, never fail to injured myself every time i do some sports. Grrr.. it's time i should be more careful. Must protect my met tui. XD

Here are some pics of the trip:

Pregnant MAN!!

As a child, I used to wonder to myself why does only woman give birth.. why can't it be man instead? Or like maybe both man and woman.. then we can share the burden. Well, in US, a man has given birth to a baby!!

YES!! NORMAL MAN GAVE BIRTH TO BABY GIRL!!!

Extracted from Yahoo online:

A US man who was born a woman before undergoing gender realignment surgery has given birth to a baby girl, US media reported.
Thomas Beatie, who is legally male but decided to keep his female sex organs during chest reconstruction surgery and testosterone therapy, attracted worldwide attention in April after revealing his pregnancy.


The 34-year-old gave birth to a baby girl at a hospital in Bend, Oregon, on June 29, People Magazine reported Thursday.

"The only thing different about me is that I can't breastfeed my baby. But a lot of mothers don't," the magazine quoted him as saying.

It said the girl is Beatie's first child, and he had given birth naturally, not by Caesarean section.
Beatie, who sports a beard, was dubbed the 'pregnant man' after appearing on Oprah Winfrey's television talkshow to discuss his pregnancy.


"I feel it's not a male or female desire to have a child. It's a human need. I'm a person and I have the right to have a biological child," he told the chat show queen.
Beatie's unusual situation first became public when he wrote an article in the leading US gay magazine The Advocate in March, entitled "Labor of Love."


"To our neighbors, my wife, Nancy, and I don't appear in the least unusual," he wrote, explaining that his wife was unable to have a child after undergoing a hysterectomy.
So he chose to become pregnant by artificial insemination, he said.
"Our situation sparks legal, political, and social unknowns," Beatie wrote, adding the couple had experienced opposition from health care professionals, friends and family.
One doctor refused to treat the couple, after consulting an ethics board.


"How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am," Beatie wrote.

Seriously i'm deeply amazed and applaud him for his courage. Both he and his wife must have went through a lot.

Rabbits and Dimsum!!

CHECK OUT STAR AND DAZZLE!!

These 2 adorable rabbits are the new addition to the Lin family. I'm the fostering parent of them which means i'll be their caretaker untill someone adopts them. Fostered them from the House Rabbit Society of Singapore who takes in abandoned rabbits just like SPCA. If you are able to foster or would like to have a rabbit as a pet, why not adopt them from HRSS instead of buying them from pet store. Many of these rabbits are abandoned by owners and are then found and send to the HRSS who will look for a better family for them. Most of these rabbits found are very young, Star and Dazzle are a pair of sisters, they're just over a year old. Anyway if you're interested in fostering rabbits, HRSS actually provides everything for the rabbit, the playpen for them to wee n poo in, hay for them, fence, pellets and will pay for their grooming and medical fees, all you need to do is to devotedly feed them with fresh greens twice a day.

They do need quite a big space though, well preferably.
This is their area i have for them, the size of a single bed.
Munch Munch
Both of them look identical except for the size of their eyes.
This is Star who has big bright eyes. This is Dazzle with small sleepy eyes. Nope, her eyes are not closed.. it's just like that. (:
Star is more outgoing and active compared to Dazzle.
Star who never fail to pose for pictures.

That's all for my 2 lovely rabbits updates. They're so so adorable and i just look forward to going home earlier with them around. Please do help if you're a pet lover. HRSS is urgently looking for more fostering or adoptive parents, do visit their website to view more rabbits up for adoption/fostering, Star and Dazzle are up there too. BUT.. please don't adopt them yet, i still wana have them!!


Ok.. this is like a massive update since i've been pretty tied up these few days.

Anyway, i went to my favourite Dimsum restaurant AGAIN!! Went there on Mon and today for lunch. I have no idea why their business is so bad. We were there for lunch today at like 1230 and we were the ONLY customer in the entire restaurant. Their food were delicious as always and with the 50% on, it was just about $11 per person again. If you wana have afforadable and yummy dimsum please do go there!! I don't want them to close down cos of bad business so i'm doing free publicising for them!!

PLEASE GO EAT DIMSUM THERE!!

In case you're moved by my appeal, here's the address of the restaurant:
Zi Yean Grand Central Restaurant (Somerset MRT, beside Centrepoint)
22 Cavenagh Road, #02-01, Hotel Grand Central
Tel: 6737 0468

This is their 50% discount off Dimsum hours:
Weekdays: 11am - 3:30pm
Weekends: 11am - 530pm

TUCKING IN!!

Actually finished all my bills, but that girl siting beside me, Sharon Yeo.. who is forever so jealous with me having nothing to do in office.

Farewell lunch.

I just came back from a scrumptous Dimsum lunch with my Hubbers colleagues. Today is two of my colleague last day at StarHub so we had a mini farewell lunch with them. We went to this Dimsum restaurant at Hotel Grand Central, which is just beside our office. They have one of the best Dimsum i've ever tried.. and oh so affordable!! They have this permanent Dimsum promotion, everything going for 50% off!! This offer is also valid on weekends from 11am to 5pm.

We only spent $11 each inclusive of drinks, food and desserts.. really good ones somemore. The place look really grand in fact, a typical Chinese restaurant in hotels, real good service.. excellent food. They even served us complimentary desserts. What more could i ask. I'm gonna have my farewell lunch with another Hubber clique next Friday - my last day at StarHub.



Me with Christina, she's going to a engineering course in NUS. With Jing Xuan, super smart girl who's going on to study Law also in NUS.
Chopstick holder.

Three of us at Dimsum's place. Me, Christina and Cindy.

Christina, i'm so gonna miss you talkativeness.

Look at the spread and we had more not included in the picture.

The pretty looking fried ice cream which tasted equally yummy.

Retards and agar agar attempts.

I went for dinner on Monday at Vivo with a bunch of monkeys whom i see at least twice a week. Shirlene Lim Wee Cheng, Jasmine Wong Khang Ping, Wu Wei Wen and WW's friend Wilston. We were attempting to see who can blow the biggest bubble gum so had some pretty ugly funny photos.

Me attempting to blow one, but can't help bursting out in laughter.

Know what's this?? This came out of my mouth. Mmmm.. what does it look like??

Professional bubble gum blower.

Then we played Zong Ji Mi Ma to see who was the unlucky one to finish the last cone of ice cream in one mouth. I was the game master and came up with the number cos apparently the last 2 time i played with Shir and Jas i got the right number in just 2 tries. Imagine number 1 to 99, i was the second one to guess it and got it immediately. Initially i still thought the one who guess the correct number is the winner, apparently no..

Wee Cheng looks so ugly here. (ok, not just here. XP)

Chocolate Vanilla anyone??


We shot a video of WW attempting to gobble down the ice cream too. Check this out:



Anyway, i've been attempting to make agar agar these few days, failed the first two times. Finally succeeded during the third attempt, produced some almond jelly which i ate 20% of it and gave the rest to Jenn- My ex-hubber colleague.

Flower, heart and star shaped almond jellies.

This is the fourth attempt, second successful attempt. This time i was more daring and decided to make mini cups double layered coconut milk agar agar. I gave them to my Hubbers colleague as my farewell gift to them. I'm so glad all of them said it was yummy. I thought it was not sweet enough as a agar agar but my sis felt that it was too sweet.

This is the coconut milk layer.

Topped with longan and red agar agar.

Next week i'll be making sago agar agar, this time with more layers. Thinking of doing a rainbow colored one. Please pre-order if you're interested. Agar Agar SPREEEEE.. XD
