Recently, I found that I've a few VCDs which I bought a long time ago, but I din watch them at all. Today, I watched one of these "old" VCDs - a movie by the name of Lassie... It's a very nice and touching show. Towards the end, I even cried 3 times while watching it. "OT" in office for extra 10 mins juz to complete the show....
The story is about a female dog by the name of Lassie. She's a sheepdog, meaning she stays in a farm, helping to look after and herd sheeps. One day, they were transporting Lassie and the sheeps to another farm, when a tragic accident happened and Lassie's owner got killed in a car accident. At the same time, another family was moving to another part of the state and they witnessed the accident. The little gal of the family, Jennifer, got very attached to the dog but the daddy refused to take Lassie in. However, Lassie was fond of the gal and her family too and followed them all the way to the next town where they were resting. It was then that the daddy was persuaded to keep Lassie.
Jennifer's elder bro, Matt was a very defiant teenager, partly coz his mum died and his dad got him a stepmum. The dad wanna move the family to the countryside so that Matt will not b so defiant and hopefully grown up to be a nice man. Originally, Matt really hates Lassie but many instances made me grew close to Lassie and Lassie even saved his life twice - once from the wolves and once from the dam. The whole story is nicely written that towards the end, when Matt tot that Lassie died while saving him, he was so sad and crumbled into his stepmum's hug. But of coz luckily, Lassie, the strong dog made it home a few days later. There she stood outside Matt's classroom... These 2 scenes really made me cry like a waterfall. It's worth watching and very educational I'd say.
Anyway, I've been pretty down the past few days with no sense of motivation. And I was wearing sort of some "lok cork" shirts n pants to office, my colleagues commented that they feel weird seeing me in this attire.. Haha... Mayb I shld wear more of these, so they can get used to it... ;)

Tired...
I'm so tired... Been so busy over the weekend.... That I dun think my mind is working well... Haha...
Office & Work
Anyway, Friday, we finally moved down to the new office. The place is pretty nice and quiet but the aircon is freezing cold - just 30 mins there, you can feel the coldness to your bones. From what I understand, it's quite difficult for them to bring the temperature up. Others in various part of the same level 2 office are facing the same problem.
Suddenly, I really missed my previous helpdesk room, with windows and sunshine... Me & Jess started moving down first but as they forgot to install the "grounmet" in the table, there's no hole for all the wires to go from table top to the CPU at the bottom, so everything was practically haywire and damn messy. It took much longer to move too and I can only leave office at 5 plus.
Also, Carine called me this morning and kinda shocked me, coz she sounded that she was sobbing really badly. Turned out that while on the way to work, she felt giddy and somehow fainted "into" a tree. A kind hearted passerby brought her to the nearby clinic, so while waiting for the doc, she called to update me. The stupid doc juz gave her 2 days MC but as she din feel quite right, she went to another doc for a 2nd opinion and was referred to SGH immediately for an X-ray. The X-ray showed she had a fractured nose and it's pretty bad, so she gonna be hospitalized for observation. I pray for her that she will recover fast. :) Nowadays, visitation at hospitals are so strict due to H1N1 so we won't be visiting her... She sent me a pic thru mms and she's quite badly bruised on the face.
Exercise progress
For the past week, I've been going to the Contour Express gym with Apple for their trial and I think it's pretty good. For a nominal fee, you get your height, weight, BMI, body fat analysis, water level anaylsis etc measured and a set of exercise that suits you will be created to help you to lose weight and tone up the body. Tonight was our last trial and we find the package pretty good and effective. Too bad Apple's work schedule does not fit the timing, hence she did not sign up for it. For me, I signed up for a 1 year package and so the $19 trial is considered free to me. Ladies, can try this if u want.. I still got 3 "recommendation" cards here... Can go for free trial, effective till end Jul for the card... hoho...
Religious class
I did not foresee that I had to spend so much time over the weekend attending classes and helping out in classes. though very tiring but it's fruitful. On Sat afternoon, after I went to gym with Apple, we went to TM house. His mum cooked dinner for us and it's the lagi best "giam beng" that I've tasted. Very nice and amazing. Also, thanks to my dear Apple for the gifts from Korea - honey & a bag which I'm using now. After dinner, we took a cab to Marsiling for the religious class and TM was the speaker that night. I liked the topic very much - fillial piety. Very true. :) Great lesson learnt!
Then on Sunday morning, as the class did not have enough ppl to help out, I was asked to go help out. It was a long event. Met up with Zifang & her parents at Teck Whye for breakfast at 7am, then she gave me a lift to the place. From about 7.45 to 2.30pm, I was standing most day and sweating in the kitchen helping out. Though it was tiring and tough but I guess it's worthwhile. After the class, Baozhu-jie came to my home, coz she wanna find my mum and chat with her... Tsk tsk...
Father's Day Celebration
We also had FD celebration yesterday evening. Treated my family to dinner at a nearby coffeeshop. The standard is not as good as the first time we went. It's the newly opened kopitiam in the CC near my home. First time we went was a weekday and there were not many patrons. The food was nice and there was free ching teng as well. But yesterday was FD and everywhere was very crowded. We waited so long for a free table and then longer waiting time for the food to be served. But I guess it was nice to sit down like that once in a while to eat. Though most evenings, we eat together as a family, as least on FD, there's no cooking and washing needed. Haha... But seriously, I think if I did not go out yesterday, I'd have bought food and cooked instead. Healthier and cheaper and also no need to wait for so long.... :)
Lack of rest over the weekend and I'm feeling really really tired now. Was sneezing non stop last night and had to take medication before I had a goos rest. I'm going for my rest now again to catchup on my sleep!
"jiayou" to myself for being on track for my exercise progress. :D

Gosh, so bz....
I was so so so busy yesterday, I dunno how time passed... haha... After work, on my way home, mum called me and asked me to buy a printer as sis need it to print her homework. Went to Yishun Harvey Norman and saw the Samsung Color Laserjet not back... CPL-310. Decided to get it but transport is an issue for me as the printer is 14kg.... So no choice, asked them to call the BPP branch near my home to see if there's any stock and got one from there instead. Parents met me there and carried the printer back.... The cost is $268... Pretty stylo, haha...
Then after that, we came home in a taxi and as I was meeting Apple for an exercise session, I din have time to take dinner and went out shortly after changing. We met up at CCK blk 202 to the Contour Express gym centre for ladies. At first, we were rather skeptical and think the cost might be pretty high but Apple suggested going in to find out more information and to look around the environment, and so we did. The people there were pretty friendly and they talked to us a lot on the different aspects of a female body. Weight and height measurements were taken as well as our body analysis. Pretty cool, one little machine can take all readings.. Lol... we were there almost 1.5 hours. Then after that, Apple asked me if wanna go TM house, so we can drop our bags there and at least jogged a bit since we din workout in the gym.
At first I was pretty reluctant since it's already 9 plus. But in the end, we still went. Wow, the brickland route is so so so so long... and becoz I din not take dinner, I felt so giddy and walked mostly. Besides, it's so dark and late... I felt so lethargic. 10pm is my usual bedtime... Only at 11 plus, then we reach back to TM home... Felt so tired that I took a cab back home. Bathed and took dinner then went to bed, at almost 12am... gosh... What a rushed and long day.. Din expect that... :P
Then today, during lunch, my colleague suggested going to John Little to see see look look. So we went... in the end, both of us got a pair of pillow each. 2 pillows for $19 and I love the touch and quality of it. Personally, I dun like pillows that are too soft, coz the whole head and neck will practically "sink" down and there's no support, hard to rest well. After work, when I got home, I setup the new printer and then put my pillow to use... Heee, later go to bed will know if it's good... pretty it will, since it's a pillow of love. ;)
Ok, time for bed... so tired and restless now.
Nite everyone :)
P.S: Leon, it was great chatting with u that day on msn, though we din really chat that much. I'm so glad the motivational cards helped you and hope they will bring you further in life. :) Take good care of yourself there in South Africa and hope to catch up w u n Pete soon! Gambatte! 21 years old liao... big boy now.. :D

Koala koala...
Met up with my Shihua yesterday evening after work to catch up again. Thanks dear for the nice gift you got me from Australia as well as the McCafe treat u've given me last evening. heee.... :)
Before meeting up, I went to AMK to find my cousin Teck again. Need to pass him some medicated oil which my mum wanna give to my granny. Apparently Granny's been feeling sick again and she has very bad rheumatism. Hopefully she'll get better soon. After dropping off the medicated oil to Teck, I took a train back to woodlands, to meet Shihua. As she's travelling from her workplace in NTU and it'll take a while, I went to the pasar malam and bought 3 big packets of instant noodles.. Haha.. So heavy to be carrying them around... The whole shopping centre is so crowded.
Shihua is so cute.. when she arrived, she was trying to call me on my cellphone, but called my home number instead. She told me after meeting up with me... then when I came home after meeting her, my mum told me again. Mum was laughing all the way and trying to imitate how Shihua shouted out my name loud loud when mum picked the call.... LOL... so funnie... laugh till cannot make it.. haha... It was a nice catchup and we were talking on a lot of topics. I think the most interesting part is on adoption. Long story short, my dear friend's mindset think it's very easy for an adopted 2-3 year old kid (or older) to accept his/her adpoted parents... Haha... I still think ownself give birth one better lar... Unless no choice, then opt for adpoted ones.. We were chatting this topic in general, but it grew relatively interesting.. :)
Yesterday was also one of my colleague's birthday. It was Carine's first birthday in our helpdesk, so we decided to gang up and give her a little surprise. Together with Jess, Dharma and CL, we ordered pizza in to share among the whole team and I got her a small piece of cake. After the bday gal went to ladies, I got Dharma to hold the cake with the lighted candle behind the door and we expected to surprise her.... but that auntie........ looks so calm, I almost fainted.. :P Haha... anyway it was nice to have this "gathering and celebration" once in a while, coz it's never possible to have the whole team out for lunch at 1 go (we have staggered lunch time).
Tiring day today but it's nice and fun. I wanna sleep so much... :D

Indescribable feeling....
I din go work today.... :P Was out practically the whole day though I din predict it to be so... heee...
Had breakfast at Yishun MacDonalds and then took a bus downtown. Had a very nice and wonderful afternoon till about 2pm and then decided to go AMK find my cousin, Teck. It's been quite sometime since we last catch up, so I decided to drop by there since I'm not working and chatted for about an hour with him. Congrats to him... his unborn baby is a boy boy... He's so happy, hee.... Can see the happiness on his face the moment I mentioned abt the BB. Pretty tough on his since his wife is not working and he's not earning that much from his current job. At least there's an income and he's saving up. Jiayou, my biao ge.... :)
Had wanted to buy a pair of croc shoes like Shihua, after she told me how nice n comfotrable it is... Especially my pair of shoes broke last week and got thrown into the rubbish chute. Was in AMK today and walking around but too bad I din see what I want. Bought a similiar pair of "crocs" but it's not comfortable and it hurts a bit. My right leg even cramped several times though it's been a lot time since it last cramped. Sigh... Mayb my dear gal can tell me? :P haha... Due to the pain in my leg, I gave up the thought of shopping in NTUC Xtra in AMK Hub and took a train back instead. Dropped at Yishun and took my usual bus... Sigh, that timing also so many ppl... From 3.45, waited till 4.15 then the bus came... World class public transport... hahahaha... :P
Feeling pretty tired after a day's activities today. I guess I will rest early tonight... Hee...

The weekend
The weekend has been pretty fruitful for me. After a long long time (like more than 1.5 years before I started my degree course), I've not really stepped into the kitchen for any serious cooking except the normal weekend dinner for the family.
Last Sat, I decided to bake cakes and make agar agar.... It's been so long since I baked, I forgot all about my recipe. Luckily I had it pasted on my fridge and my parents did not throw it away... Hoho... I baked 2 chocolate cakes and 1 vanilla cake. Also made lots of mango agar agar with friuts inside. Took me almost the whole day... from buying ingredients to preparing, to cooking, to baking etc etc. I think I forgot to take my lunch that day. :P anyway, it was nice and satisfying.. especially ppl are telling me the food is nice. :D
Then yesterday on Sunday, I was rotting at home as usual.. Heee.... Was online in facebook when I spotted Shihua online... Tsk tsk... we chatted a while there then she logged off accidentally and sms me. So I asked when she's going for her honeymoon. Appears that she's going that same evening.. LOL... Such a coincidence.... This morning at 7 plus, she so cute... took 2 pictures in Gold Coast and sent to me... Hee... Gal ah, it's your honeymoon leh... You shouldn't be missing me there.... haha... :P Later Mr Lee jealous ah! :P Hope you enjoy your trip and come back as a relax person who enjoyed your holiday. :)
I'm feeling tired and restless and very warm... the weather is killing me... :(
