Gender of my brain

Your Brain is 80.00% Female, 20.00% Male
Your brain leans female
You think with your heart, not your head
Sweet and considerate, you are a giver
But you're tough enough not to let anyone take advantage of you!

Hmmm...I think its 80% true for me. :)

Too bored!

Today is a public holiday and why am I still sitting infront of the PC at this time?? Hai...hui is back at work today. We dun meet during wkdays anymore. Sometimes find it hard to discuss something with him as he is usually in the office when he calls during wkday night. I'm also in the IT line, so I can understand how life is when a project is close to going live. Hai...Is this a good industry to work in??!!

Just got my new LCD monitor. As least now I can see colorful pictures instead of only one tone (blue) with my old CRT monitor. I've change a new layout for the blog. My third layout! Give comments pls? My colleague says the previous was so pink. Well, I did that during Valentine's day period, so wanted something that look sweet. Now Feb is over, it's back to the reality.

This layout suits my mood now. Wanted so much to get out of singapore and throw all my work aside. Go to a beach resort and have my spa. I need a good massage. Same goes for hui. He really need a good break, a well-deserve break!

Green Bean Vs Bean Sprout

My company is having its D&D in May. Every year, there will be a Green Bean event where all new employees employed within a specified date period will be involve in performing something during the D&D. Well, my conversion does not fall within that specified period, hence was not involve for this year event. However, most of my colleagues in NHG was involve. My colleagues kept persuading that I should join them this year so that we can 'malu' together. They also said that if I join next year, I'll be the bean sprout among the green bean! Hmmm....through persistant persuasion from them, I finally made up my mind to be a green bean so that I would not be alone with strangers next year if I'm still in this company.

Last sat they had their first briefing. I was not there because I had only made the decision yesterday. So today, I attended the first rehersal. There are 4 parts in the musical play: Acting, Singing, Dancing and Video Taking. All my friends joined the Dancing. Well, needless to say where I had chose to go to right?

There are few parts in Dancing. Group 1 (Slow and fast dance). Group 2 (broadway dancing). I was in the former. For slow dance, they need 2 girls and 2 guys. The girl must be small in size as there are some "flip and carry" stunts. Phew, I was not chosen...Slow dance was not my type. In addition, that also means less body contact if I'm not involve in slow dance, so my ears can be spared from a pool of Hui's theory on Man and Woman! Imagine myself doing ballet dancing with the 'Tian Er Hu' posture??!! *shake head*. I was involve in the fast dance..Something more hip hop and aerobics kind of dancing. In Group 1, everyone will be involve with 3 separate dance. So the 4 person will be dancing 1 slow and 2 fast, and the others will be 3 fast.

Today we just had our first round of simple easy dance steps. More to come as the D&D date is getting nearer. It was quite fun though embarrassing.

Reach home around 3pm. Hui today is working whole day. Took a 2 hrs nap and wake up for dinner. Meeting Hui and Seh Choi soon for supper and movie (Hitch). Guess you readers must be pretty interested about the elements of the musical play right? Well, I shall not let the cat out of the bag so soon! Will feed you guys bit by bit. That'll keep you readers consistantly coming back to my blog! Hehehehehe....^_^

Life will never be the same again

There will be another company joining us next week in TTSH B2 and we had a new seating arrangement so as to accomodate the new group of people. Heard they are from Siemens company and is helping NHG on another project.

The only group of people affected by the new seating arrangement are those seating in the middle and last row. I happened to be in the middle row. I'm having the heaven seat currently. Situated in a corner with Shirley, no one can easily see what we're doing unless they walk past a long stretch of people to reach our seat. Those seating in the middle row are a bunch of funny people and they make me see some light when I'm stuck in a darkness.

Next week onwards, life will be different. Today is Shirley last day with ACN. I'll have no one to bicker with me anymore during office hours. Worse is I'll be shifting to a seat where everyone can easily see what I'll be doing. This means a major decrease in surfing of net. Another minus point..The new group of colleagues near me are those work more, talk less kind....So, I'll have to keep my mouth shut and work more! Life is so boring without chit chatting during office hours right?! hai...Life will never be the same again........:(

The Scarlet - a boutique hotel

On sat (12/3), we went as plan to The Scarlet hotel. Reach the place at abt 1.45pm. We were greeted by a dracula look-a-like male staff. The hotel was decorated in a way that it look like a dracula's mansion. Black and Red are the primary color of the hotel. Staffs are wearing costume(actually it's their uniform) that look like dracula and the female staffs put on black lipstick. Indians and Malays forms the majority and I could hardly see chinese staffs there. But I must admit it was indeed a vivacious, bold and sensuous hotel. Very different from the others I went so far. It do deserve a rating of a 5-star hotel. Just by the service and the uniqueness of the design and layout..*thumps up*

We were escorted right to our doorstep by a female "dracula". She briefly went through what and where are the restaurants and facilities they have. Before she open our room door, she actually press the doorbell first. Hmmm, never know they do follow such traditional practice.

Okie, after she left us alone and greeted gdbye, I started exploring around the room. It was smaller than what I expected despite it was already the premium room!
Well, it was built above shop houses, can't expect it to be too big anyway.

Rested awhile in the room and off we went to Suntec. It's a mistake to go there. Because of the IT fair, it was so crowded like nobody business! Everywhere you go bound to knock into someone. I wanted to get a LCD monitor to replace the faulty one. Hoping to get a good deal at the fair.But looking at the crowd, we turn and walk out of the hall before heading in too deep. We have decided to come back tmr morning instead.

Hui suggested The Soup Restaurant for dinner but as both of us are coughing, it would be better if we avoid chicken. Samshui chicken was their speciality dish so if you are not going to have that, you might as well not go in. Just by drinking their soup is not filling enough. Hence, we had our dinner at Yu Jiang Zhuang.

Went back to the hotel at around 7+pm. Bubble bath time! Apple flavour bubble bath from Bodyshop. It was so relaxing....the new flats nowadays is just too small to accomodate a bathtub! Guess I can only do it in hotel even if I have got my own house next time. :(

Sun (13/2), had our breakfast at the Desire restaurant. I would rate 3 out of 5 for the breakfast. It was just average to me, but the appearance does look appealing.
Check-out at 12pm. Headed towards Suntec again hoping the crowd would be much smaller compared to yesterday. Indeed, it was. We manage to walk around the hall quite easily. After a long long decision, finally decide to purchase this silver 17" Samsung LCD monitor @ $499. Specification was quite good. BUT...things just doesn't seems to be the way it is! They only left black color, silver is out of stock!!Argghhhh....finally manage to persuade myself on the $$ matter and with great hope that this time, I'll be able to get a LCD monitor home, I was disappointed again..........*sobsob*

We left the place and went to sim lim, with the determination of getting a monitor back. Sim lim seems to be highly promoting Phillip instead of Samsung. The same model I saw at simlim is selling at a higher price. Phillip is my alternative but the price is higher than Samsung although they have the similar spec. Feeling disappointed yet again, I headed home emtpy handed.

At night, sister msg me stating her friend has lobang for buying Phillip 17" LCD monitor @ $488. What a coincidence! Without much hesitation, I replied 'Ok'.

Still waiting for my LCD to arrive. After LCD, it's high time to change my whole hardware! It's all about $$$ again!...Anyone got lobang?

A celebration with Pills!

I was having very bad cramp on tues midnight. It was so pain that I can hardly sleep! I flip and turn in bed till the sun rises. Enduring the pain, I went to work. In the afternoon, started to have block nose, feeling abit giddy. Continue working and knock off at 5.30pm sharp! Reach home, bathe and pop to bed, cover blanket and watch TV. 10+pm I was fast aslp.

Next morning(10/3) wake up, the head was spinning badly. Had running noise and slight cough. I knew I was sick. Tested my temperature, it was 37.9 degree celsius. I waited till 8.45am then went down to visit the clinic. The clinic opens at 9am. I was the 8th person there and waited for 1hr!! Almost fainted at the clinic man! *Ting Dong*....calling for num 218. It was finally my turn!

I told the doctor what's my illness and the bad cramp that night. She ask me to lie down and check on my tummy, at the same time taking my temperature. Ok, it have gone up by 1 degree, its 38 degree c. now. Guess what, the doctor ask me something which shocks me.
Doctor Chong: Are you married?
Patient: No.
Doctor Chong: Do you have intercourse?
Patient: No!!
( Well, for a normal thinking, even if I have, I will also deny since my status is still single).....BUT...I'm still telling the truth lor...ans is NO!

Doctor Chong explained that usually when a lady have menstrual, body resistence will be lower, hence easier to catch virus from people around you, and will fall sick easily. It's common to have cramp for the first 1 or 2 days. But if it carrys on for 1wk, then will need to have a body checkup.
She gave me pills for fever, running nose, pain killer and cough syrup + a 2 days MC! She ask me to come back if the pains still goes on......

Went home, ate a piece of bread, took my medicine and lie flat on the bed. The whole day I was awake for few mins to take my medicine and str back to bed to slp. Whole body was so weak like jelly!
It was only hui msg me at 6+pm asking if I had knock off then I told him I was on MC. He's so busy at work now, just dun wana bother him with such thgs. :)

Slept the whole day, fever was gone, wash up myself and meet Phyllis, Peiyi, Limei at blk 328 for claypot rice at 6.50pm. We had earlier plan this dinner gathering to celebrate jenny and my bday. How bad if the 2 birthday girls are not ard right? Then this dinner will deficts its purpose. And Jenny had tuition that day, she cant make it. So if I cant make it too, then......anyway, its been along time since I meet them...and it's just downstairs, so I think I shld make a trip there.

I just drank a can of soya bean while they have their dinner. I just had no appetite. We sat there for 1hr+, chit chatting away, discussing abt marriage stuff. Limei is getting married this yr. ROM on 16th May, banquet on 26th Dec. When we get older, the topic we talk are also different.
In sec, we will be discussing which singer is good now, which guy from which class like our class girls, who to team with in project etc. In poly, we will talk abt which guy in which class is yandao, A wana woos B, A & B are together, exams, projects etc. When we just step into working life, will talk abt how work is so different from sch, wana go back to study, complain abt boss, abt work etc. And now.........marriage. And after marriage?? Will we be discussing abt sex and babies??

Reach home, sleep at 10+pm again. Next morning(11/3) I went back to work altho I had 2 days MC. The aircon is just so cold. I didnt had breakfast and lunch. Endure till 5.30pm and left the office and head str home. Took my fever med and lie in bed. hui say he will arrive at 8pm. So we waited for him to cut cake. He arrive 10 mins early. Nothing special at all, just cut cake, eat cake and went back to watch TV. As a person gets older, really dun have the mood for any celebration. Its just a normal day to me.

My next timing for medication is 12am. hui say he wanted to feed me before he goes home. *touched*. So we are in our room watching tv....and gradually, I fell aslp....11.45pm, was awaken by a birthday greeting sms. 12.05am, he fed me and made me drink plenty of water. Abt 12.15am, I sent him out to the door and then str head to bed again......

Today (sat, 12/3), I'm feeling so much better, but no voice to talk. Going ahead as what was plan. A belated birthday getaway at scarlet hotel. Update you readers more when I get back....Meanwhile, enjoy reading...^_^
