Sinful delights
6:18 p.m. - Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2007
I was helping a member do incline sit ups with medicine ball throws. Which basically means me throwing the medicine ball to him while he's on the way down, and throwing it back to me when he's on the way up.
As per above, except that he's the only one doing it and on an incline bench.
As I was throwing it to him, I must have miscalculated, cos I think I used my right thumb to push the ball outwards instead of using the whole palm, and thus spraining it. But brave me, didn't even whimper. Instead, I continued the exercise with him till the end. I waited till when I saw Dan, that when I started complaining and acting pitiful. Hehe.
***************
I had such good murtabak at North Bridge Road today. Zam Zam Restaurant or something. Extra crispy and extra mutton. Sooooo good. Apparently, it has such a long history that even our father's father has eaten there before. Lol. I'm going back there soon. =)
For desert, went to Raffles City Basement, one of the restaurants. Can't remember the name now. Had pecan pie with vanilla ice-cream and baked apple and rubarb pie (Am I spelling it right? Most probably not) with vanilla ice-cream. Haha. Pecan pie was alright, but OMG. The apple thingy was heavenly. Real apples and raisins in there! So much that I couldn't finish it on my own. The pastry so flaky and good. My god, such a mind blowing desert. I'm going back there again when I'm not so stuffed with lunch, then I'll be able to properly enjoy it. =D

Helped Dan out yesterday night with his school project. He needed me to model for him. (Ha! Me! A model! The irony of it all.) I wasn't a very good one. Lol. So stiff. But my god. Damn blardy tiring la! I had to wear my cheongsam and hold a nunchaku and glare at a spot above his head and act fierce. My eyes almost crossed from all the glaring. Actually, it did cross at one point in time.. My arms hurt from holding the nunchaku aloft all the time, and my feet hurt from standing in one spot for over 3 hours! and that's with me not even wearing any shoes! My my, so many complains. I definately won't make it as a model. Now I know it's not so easy being a dumb model. Hehe. I was so tired at the end of it that I didn't even want to look at the pictures that he took! I told him to show it to me another day when I'm not so tired. Then he told me that he would still need me to model for him soon. I almost passed out from the horror of it all.
Anniversary delights!
3:59 p.m. - Sunday, Aug. 26, 2007
We had a simple celebration. He brought me to M Hotel for a surprise, cos he knew how much I liked the soba served at the buffet there. But alas! We both got a surprise when we got there. Our reservation was not at the place we wanted, which was "Cafe 2000", instead it was at "The Buffet" upstairs. Since we have been to "The Buffet" before, and the food wasn't too bad, so it was alright. But to our further surprise, it turns out that "The Buffet" is a steamboat buffet at night! The last time we went to "The Buffet" was in the afternoon, and the food was a mix of continental and Japanese. Thus, we expected the same for dinner.. It was an interesting experience though.. Lol. Who else would celebrate their anniversary with a steamboat meal? Definately something that I wouldn't forget in a very long time.. Haha! Dan wasn't too happy in the beginning though. Complaining that there was a blardy big hot pot in between us and that he couldn't even sit beside me! Lol. So cute la.. Turns out that the mistake arose cos his mum who helped him to make the reservation got confused and booked at the wrong place.. But all turned out fine in the end. =)
I got him a tee-shirt and made him a scrapbook. He got me the last installment of the Harry Potter series. That made me a very very happy girl! Finished the book in 2 nights. Ahhh.. *Bliss*
Gret's Birthday!
6:15 p.m. - Friday, Aug. 17, 2007
Saw quite a few people that night. One of them is Chee Keong, he's working there as a waiter now. Been ages since I last saw him. Haven't changed abit. Saw Colin too! Ahh, Colin, Colin.. Got me drunk on my birthday didn't you? I should return the favor soon. That vain boy just got a naval stud. Was showing it off to me, and conveniently showing off his six packs too. Tsk tsk, you exhibitionist you. Lol. Saw a couple of juniors from SW too, but totally forgot their names, so I didn't bother going up to them. Zul, a former poly classmate from SW was there too. He quit shortly after school started in year one. Apparently he hated one of our course lecturer to the extend of quitting school. Hmmm... Anyway, now he's a steward with SIA. What a big jump, from sports to being a service crew.
Was at Zouk first, just as crowded as I remembered. Enjoying all the mambo music, brings back memories alright. Ahhh, those were the days when I was much much wilder, kinda miss them sometimes. So much energy! Now, after only just a while, my feet aches. Sigh. Phuture was just as bad as I remembered, if not worse. And now with the smoking ban in effect, the air is definitely much clearer. But I'm in two minds about it, the good thing is my hair smelling still as fresh as when I stepped into the club, but the bad thing is that I can SMELL THE B.Os!! WAH LAU! If I had to choose between allowing smoking in the club and smelling the B.Os, I would choose allowing smoking in the clubs. Urgh. I've never felt more disgusted before..
Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRETCHIE BABEE! Lol.
diving dreams

************
My grandaunt passed away on tuesday night. How frail the human life is. It got me thinking about my relatives and family, and I realized that I don't have very much time left with some, if not all of them anymore. Got me extremely worried and agitated. I vowed to spend more time with them if possible. But I know that when life starts getting hectic and all, I'll slowly start to backslide again.
The Purple Goddess is BACKKK!!!!

=( Lol.
Oh glorious diving!
6:18 p.m. - Tuesday, May. 01, 2007
Finally, a respite from all the monotony from work and life in general in Singapore. Going to Perhentian for diving, oh glorious diving! Was actually headed to Redang, with all its beautiful beaches but not so beautiful people, but alas! We booked too late, and dates which we were planning to go at, were fully booked. So next best thing, Perhentian Island. More secluded, but I guess that means more unspoilt reefs and corals to look at. Coolness.
I can't wait to take the 10plus hour bus ride, and then an half an hour to one hour boat ride to the island, all the way lugging my heavy dive gear and clothes, suffering from sleep deprivation and aching muscles, just so I can jump into the sea at the risk of never coming up again(diving IS an extreme sport in case you didn't know. Insurance doesn't cover it.) Oh the things we do for what we love. Will be gone from Thursday night and be back on Sunday night. Don't miss me too much ya'll.
Hello there you cute little clownfishes and boxfishes, moray eels and stingrays, trigger fishes and sharks. *Bliss*
To a CERTAIN SOMEONE
3:22 p.m. - Sunday, Apr. 15, 2007
Everyone lives their lives differently, with their own rules and own proprities. I don't force my rules onto your life, so don't force yours on mine. I do not respond very well to pressure.
So, to that CERTAIN SOMEONE,
If you want to give me your opinions and comments about me, fine. You can say anything you want, no matter how degrading and obscene, I would just laugh or smile it off. But don't take it as a sign of weakness. Push me far enough, and I am warning youyou are fast reaching the limit, I will fucking blow up. If you don't believe me, ask any of my friends. Though they might not have seen me angry, I'm very sure that they know what I'm capable of.
But towards people close to me, don't even think of saying anything degrading or bad of them. I WILL NOT STAND IT. You have not known them as long as I have, and you did not go through the things that I have with them. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO TALK ABOUT THEM THAT WAY. They are very precious to me, and I will do anything to protect them.
So right now is the final warning: If I hear anything bad about people close to me, I WILL FUCK YOU UPSIDE DOWN. I mean it. Even at the expense of my job.
Yes, I am that angry.
=)

You are longing for some love and affection at this time - not that you have been deprived of tender loving care - but there are times when everyone needs to try something new or to go 'somewhere' else to perhaps experience that little extra 'understanding'.
You don't really give in. You follow your beliefs and ideals to the bitter end. You are the personification of stubbornness and whatever may transpire, right or wrong, you refuse to compromise or make concessions.
You feel tired - worn out and listless. The last thing that you want to do is to be in an open conflict with those around you that are forever tormenting you. What to do? That's the rub. You are feeling that you are being choked - unable to breathe.
You pretend that you are a carefree individual and that nothing really bothers you - that you are so self-sufficient that whatever problems beset you they simply flow off you as water flows off a ducks back. You are experiencing considerable stress, trying to conceal yourself from the rest of the world. In actual fact - deep down, you are not at all happy. You feel lonely and you need someone with whom you can 'Let your hair down' and share your hopes, dreams and high standards. You are imposing unnecessary self restraint on yourself. You would like to demonstrate the unique quality of your character to all and sundry.
Sometimes one fears that its not worth formulating new ideas and projects because whatever you seem to have done in the past has never worked out and you are tired of, as they say, banging your head against a brick wall. No one seems to care. So now you are trying to get away from it all by withdrawing into a 'fantasy land' but unfortunately 'fantasy land' is just that and sooner or later you will have to return to reality so why delay the inevitable? When you do return, you will find that the situation is not as tough as perhaps you thought it was.

My my Gretchen, you're right in how close it strikes home. Scary..

Rules, rules, rules, rules
8:59 a.m. - Friday, Mar. 09, 2007
*phew* Ok, trying to calm down, getting pissed just thinking about it again.
I've got a new boss in the Sports and Recreaton Department now. She's called Candence Yap. Just came in this week. Has short boyish hair, wears specs, always in pants and shirt. Almost a week already, and that's all I see her wearing. Pants and shirts. Plus, she's quite stout. Plus... She always has a lady friend that comes by to take lunch with her. If that does not spell B.U.T.C.H, I don't know what does.
When I first met her, she seemed quite nice, but her face seems to be always in the stern expression. Even when she smiles, looks like it takes quite a bit of effort to do that. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I was alright with her. Until yesterday.....
Yesterday, when I started work at 2pm, my gym senior trainer called for a meeting. He told us that Candence implemented a new SOP. She sent an email to us in detailed points. Bleah.
*******************
Email from Candence:
Keith,
As the senior trainer, pls ensure the following:
1. All trainers on duty must be properly attired. All must be in jacket and pants and track shoes.
2. Strictly no long ear rings. Only studs for female trainer and freelance personal trainer. This is for personal safety reason and image to uphold.
3. Keep the counter clean at all times. Magazines, newspaper and all reading materials in place
4. "phone greeting" standard must be maintained at all times. This includes our freelance personal trainer
I am very particular about how a trainer should behave when on duty. We must be professional and look professional. No buts and no excuses.
Thank you.
Regards,
Ms Candance Yap
Sports & Recreation Manager
*******************
In the meeting yesterday, he told us of some more new rules, which is:
1. No heavy make-up
2. No coloured contacts
WTF????????!!!!!!!
Why do I feel that most of it is specifically targeted at me?! It not as if I wear heavy makeup to work. Geez! Most of the time, I don't even wear makeup to work because I'm not bothered to!
No coloured contacts? In what way does coloured contacts affect my work? I can't see properly or something?! Isn't HR supposed to be the ones who are more concerned about this kind of things? My god, I've had lunch with the HR manager before, and she commented that my coloured contacts were nice and ask me all sorts of questions about it before! Even the GM has seen my coloured contacts before, and he didnt say anything at all!
I don't understand Candence's reasoning behind the coloured contacts at all.
When I complained to another colleague from the Sports and Recreation Department, he said,"You should tell her, just because I look better than you doesn't mean that I have to stoop to your level." Haha! Maybe I should man.
*******************
When my senior trainer emailed her saying that he told us about the rules regarding the makeup and earrings already, she sent back another email saying this:
And coloured contact lens! I will excuse Lavina today for wearing it but from tomorrow onwards, i accept no explanation.
Every trainer must follow the SOP i have set and i will come after you if anyone breaks the SOP, Keith.
Regards,
Ms Candance Yap
Sports & Recreation Manager

Adeline is leaving for Aussie soon. =( One last clubbing session with her, one more chillout session, then she's gone. Haiyah, Ade, you go already, then who am I supposed to gossip and share all the sordid details *hee hee* with?! I'll miss you! =(

I've always thought that I was cursed in love. I might be changing my mind. =) Never been happier before. Valentine's Day is coming. Are you all as excited as I am? Hee hee.. Lots of love to everyone out there!
Jokes and stuff.
8:00 a.m. - Friday, Dec. 29, 2006
Two weeks ago was my 35th birthday and I wasn't feeling too hot that morning anyway. I went to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and
say "Happy Birthday" and probably have a present for me.
She didn't even say "Good Morning" let alone any "Happy Birthday." I thought, "Well, that's wives for you, the children will remember." The children came in to breakfast and didn't say a word. When I started to the office I was feeling pretty low and despondent.
As I walked into my office my secretary, Janet, said, "Good morning, boss. Happy Birthday."
And I felt a little better; someone had remembered. I worked until noon. Then, Janet knocked on my door and said, "You know, it's such a beautiful day outside and it's your birthday, let's go to lunch, just you and me"
I said, "By George, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go." We went to lunch. We didn't go where we normally go; we went out to the country to a little private place. We had two martinis and enjoyed lunch tremendously.
On the way back to the office, she said, "You know, it's such a beautiful day. We don't need to go back to the office, do we?"
I said, "No, I guess not."
She said, "Let's go to my apartment." After arriving at her apartment she said, "Boss, if you don't mind, I think I'll go change."
"Sure," I excitedly replied.
She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes, she came out carrying a big birthday cake, followed by my wife, children, and dozens of our friends, all singing "Happy Birthday."
And there I sat... on the couch... naked!
**************
Lotsa things happened. Went for barbeques, outings, spent Christmas getting sloshed, will spend New Year getting sloshed too(Ha!), steamboat.. Hmmm, too many to actually write down. Think I'll only upload the pictures when the internet connection is not so screwy.. Till then! Oh, and a Happy New Year to all! Try to keep your resolutions this time round.. Hehe!

I have a new nephew! My cousin just gave birth last month and yesterday was his first month celebration. Lil Shaun is soooooo cute! But I forgot to take pictures. Ha. But OMG, just spending one evening with all my relatives re-enforced my decision to never ever have kids. Those little buggers are so goddamn noisy! It seemed to me that everywhere I turned yesterday, I met with either a crying baby or a screaming kid. Got so bad that I had to escape the house so that I could hear myself think. I have nothing against kids, I really do find them cute and stuff, and I do love playing with them. But once they start crying, screaming, fussing etc.. I cannot take it and I will just dump the kid with someone who can take that sort of nonsense. So, for the sake of my sanity, and for the sake of not psychologically damaging any kids that I might have, I willingly choose not to have kids.
But lil Shaun is super cute though. Hehe. =D

A couple of my cousins are going Phuket this coming Monday for a holiday. Why is everyone going Phuket? No fair, I also want to go... *pouts*

I'm sick of being sick. Urgh.. It's been a month since I first got the damn tonsilitis, and it still hasn't fully cleared up, despite repeated visits to the doctor. Waste so much money and time and still not well yet. What kind of blardy doctors are they man. Sigh.. Well, if all else fails, I personally find that alcohol helps. Hehe. The more you drink, the better you feel. Ahhhh.. Such is the wonders of alcohol. The pounding headache that you wke up to is part and parcel. It distracts you from your ORIGINAL pain. Cool right? Now, if only I knew where to get some weed..
Alright alright, for the faint hearted.. A kiss from your special someone on whichever part hurts is always good too. If it doesn't make you feel better, at least you know that he/she might get infected with whatever you are having, and suffer along with you so that you are not so lonely. Hehe..
P.S.:If you don't have a special somebody, I'll be happy to stand in. *Wink Wink*
P.S.2.: APPLICABLE ONLY TO CUTE, STRAIGHT GUYS. =)

Lesson learnt: Trust No One.
No matter how close you become with the members, at the end of the day, they are still members and you are still the staff. If they want to turn on you, its all in the blink of an eye..
Geez.. What a way to start the day..

********************
The very next day, went extremely early christmas shopping with my family, aunt and grandma. But in the end, its only my grandma buying all the things, and its not Christmas presents. Its all her own clothes and *ahem* unmentionables. Hehe. And me, sigh, I ended up being the porter since my aunt and mum was helping my grandma, and my dad and brother didn't want to be seen anywhere near the lingerie section. So guys, if you are sensitive to pictures of *ahem* unmentionables, please don't look at the pictures below.
Bras!
More Bras!!
Look at the number of bags I'm carrying! 5!!
Poor me.
What do you do when you're bored? Cam-Whore!
My aunt says its too big for her..
Presenting the must-have fashion accessory of the moment! A BRA as a Handbag!
Yes, this is my lovely grandma who pushed me into the pool on my birthday, but I still love her.. Hehe.
