Forgive and Forget??

Forgiving and forgetting aren't actions that come naturally to you. You're loyal to those you love, and you can be unyielding as rock to those you think of as foes. In the end, though, does it help to hold onto a grudge?

Though that’s the daily overview of my horoscope for August 01, 2006 (tomorrow's), but I can say it now that it’s -

"Oh, so true"

So near yet so far...

I was so close to getting the $96 tickets to BKK for Sept.

I thought I’d be going to the Land of Smiles again after sooo many months of "planning".

I'm still very disappointed that the tickets got all snapped before I could click on the "purchase" button.

:(

I need to be more disciplined!

I'm no longer on a low carb diet now as we suspect that it might have some negative impact on my complexion.

However, it seems like I’m eating more than usual now. I'll always be snacking when at work and I want to eat food which are "full of taste" - nasi biryani, tom yum, minced pork noodle etc..

Previously, it was ok to have sliced fish soup twice a week, but the thought of having it now bores me.

Previously, I'll gorge/crave for certain food only when it nearing that time of the month, but now, it seems like I'm craving for different food almost everyday.

Previously, I was so disciplined to the extent that I did not touch eggs, cheese, and potato chips etc due to my complexion. But I had those forbidden foods during the past few weeks.

My skirt feels tight

My weight is going back

My arms are getting bigger/flabbier

My face is getting rounder (as compared to only last month's);

I call it the donut face :(

Disappointing dinner

Went to have ramly burger at Tanjong Pagar railway station after reading some good reviews online.

Sadly, I do not have any good reviews for the place and the food. Firstly, the place is not very clean and we chose to sit outside. We ordered a plate of Indian rojak and roti john to share 1st as we were still waiting for another friend to arrive. The mutton roti john was drowned in mayonnaise and tomato sauce while the Indian rojak doesn't taste fresh and the ice milk tea was too milky. Shirlyn’s luke warm mee siam tasted like rubber band. *roll eyes*

Surprisingly, we were quite full after the "starters" but we still got the ramly burger, after all the purpose of this outing was to try that. Sadly, we felt that the ramly burger was not worth coming down for. Though the food was disappointing, we had a great time gossiping, talking nonsense and cam whoring (Janice and I).

Seeing that it was still early to head home on a Friday night, Janice, Sock Huan and I went to Suntec for coffee at Olio. There came another disappointment, the ice mocha with gelato tasted so different from what I always have from Dome. It was so not right that I did not even finish the drink (-.-")

Sun House de Boneless Chicken Rice

Initially, our plan was to have lunch @ Wasabi Tei, however as it was rather crowd, we went to have our favorite chicken rice instead. And we’re glad that we did so as it was their last day of operation. Heard it has something to do with the rental issues, therefore, the uncle is still looking for another location to continue their business. Many people came to have their “last” plate of chicken rice and took pictures of the premises too.

Hopefully, we don’t have to wait for too long to taste this delicious chicken rice again.

Dinner @ Mezza9

Dinner was @ Mezza9, Hyatt Hotel to celebrate Jeremy, Nicholas and Vilma auntie’s birthday. They’ve been going there for dinner for the past few years to celebrate as Auntie Sally is a member with Hyatt. As usual, they’ll always order same old dishes.

. display of seasoning . foie gras . sashimi (salon & yellow tail) .
. lobster noodle . fish (soon hock) . vege (kai lan) .
. grilled lobster . stir fried black pepper beef . chefs .

I don’t really fancy the food there, as to me it’s just a place where chi chi people head for to have some zhi char dishes. Of course, Mezza9 offers other variety of non zhi char food too, perhaps it’s just me as I don’t really feel comfortable eating there.

Shopped & Dined in Japanese

Went to Daiso with Lx on Saturday and spent 1.5 hours there. After taking out a few stuffs from my basket, I’m glad to say that I bought only 5 items. Friends know that I like buying cute/interesting stuffs that I might not even use. Therefore, 10 mins was spent deciding which on stuff I should get/place back to the shelves :p

Rushed down to Orchard to meet Sis for dinner and I was super late as we missed the IMM shuttle bus and I reached Orchard only at 7.30pm. Dinner was at Ichibantei as we wanted to grab those half price sushi at the nearby Mediya. keke

Think Through It

I knew I should take what I heard on Saturday with a pinch of salt

But somehow, I've been thinking about it since 9am today.

Someone reminded me that I've been feeling vexed most of the time when working here.

But 1 week into this job (about 1 year ago), I’ve already known this was not for me.

What do I really want in life?

I've been putting off this question for almost 2 years.

It's time to seriously think through it now.

I'll move you

Yes, I'll do just that if I see anyone reading the newspaper in a super packed train.

Imagine, everyone is squeezed like sardines but there'll still be people who just cant wait to read what's going in the world on their free newspaper which is distributed in every train station. I fully understand that reading the newspaper on the go is common and it's perfectly fine with me if the "environment" allows it.

Just to share what I encountered today:
This lady stood in front of me and she has not much space to move, but yet, she is still very interested to read the news printed on the corners (dog ears corner). Seriously, how much of news could you possibly get from that pathetic corner??? Regardless of me pushing her (intentionally and unintentionally), she's still determined to read it. *argh*

Then, another guy who stood diagonally behind me was also reading it so I PURPOSELY move my way nearer to him so that he won’t have space to open up his newspaper. keke

I may sound mean but if everyone were slightly more considerate on public transports, others would be able to board the bus/train when it is only 3/4 full.

Interview, food & manicure on Saturday

Went for the interview on Saturday, in short, I did not pass the interview again. But this time, I was not as nervous as delivered the intro pretty fine. What led me thinking was, if I were to touch on why I want to join SIA, my personality, Daddy working with SIA etc, will I've a better chance in getting through?

Anyway what's over is over, I won't want to harp on it. Shall just move on planning for my studies, which might be early next year and my holiday trips (Shanghai/ Japan/ BKK/ Redang).

After the interview, I met up with Lx and we headed to Chin Chin for lunch. Haha, we ordered mixed vegetables, Hainanese pork chop and mutton soup, which was too much for the 2 of us, but we still managed to finish it. keke. We then shopped around Marina Sq before going to Kembangan for our manicure - French for us. It's actually my 1st time doing it and I'm liking it ; )
