domo and others;

new domo ring i bought in bugis street the other day. 3 for $10 or something.
it’s actually not very chio i know, kinda stupid even. but it’s domo!

slippers. bought 2 pairs of slippers recently. one to be placed at my house and another at fatbear’s. haha.
i still don’t approve of slippers as footwear when going out, but sometimes, slippers are just so comfy! take a break from all the heels, wedges, flats and all that.
feet need to breathe too!

domo camera pouch from fatbear.

lotso bear shoe clips. yet to use them because i realized that they dont clip very well on converses.
the head is too heavy! lotso always ends up looking at the floor in sadness. i need sneakers with fatter and more sturdy shoe tongue.

picture with me looking pretty shitty. but i just wanna show off my jacket!
niceeee. bought from f21 a longgg time back but didn’t wear it out at all. wore it on the last friday of work, just before cny.

HAHAHA oh yar, you can also spot the yellow brolly hanging behind me in the cubicle. redeemed it at wisma after some brokeaholeinmypocket purchase. it’s LIMITED EDITION F1 race brolly ok!

not like i care.
but since i spent that amount already, why not just exchange for the umbrella right. or not wasted.

#likeanauntie

my table is full of rubbish, seriously. i have oranges on the partition, nian gao on my cpu and lettuce (caught from the lions during cai qing) next to it. errrr.
i guess you can tell that i really wanna HUAT ah. HAHAHAH.

hurhur. one last picture of myself. taken in the office, just before work ended and the cny hols to begin.

time flies. cny is almost over.
so how was your visiting? did you take all the ang baos you can get?
for those giving out ang baos…don’t worry, you’re not alone. sooner or later, the rest will join you. LOL.

didn’t eat much during cny.
the goodies just don’t excite me anymore.

have loads more pictures to post, but honestly, i’m getting lazier to blog. =( opened this page in the morning, hoping that i can blog intermittently between breaks at work.
no such breaks leh.

tweet also lazy, you say leh?

byeeeee!

first marathon (and maybe the last).

okayyyy, so i’ve been wanting to update this space about interesting things in my life. but turns out that my life just isn’t that interesting.

besides, i always feel tired after work (signs of ageing). if not, i go out after work sometimes, and when i reach home, i’m too tired to turn on the computer again. i clock crazy hours every time there is an event, which is like…almost every month FTS.

i edit, resize and upload pictures, then i lose the motivation to blog. sleep overtakes me.

point is, i’m lazy.

ok next point and most important point…..*insert drum rolls*

i completed my first ever standard chartered marathon!!!!

ok fine, so it’s only 10km. but it’s A LOT to me! considering that i hardly ever exercise, and the only time my feet moves faster than the brisk walking speed is when i run for my bus or when a cockroach chases after me in the HDB carpark at fatbear’s place wtf.

so well, 10km is an accomplishment! plus!!!!! i didn’t stop at all! i managed to run all the way from the starting point to the finishing line! *thumps chest proudly*

only had about 2 gym trainings prior to the race. errr. clocking about 5km in each session. never tried 10km at all. oh yea, i ate macdees just the day before the race. #likeaboss

awake so early, feeling like i can conquer the world. lol. probably my lack of sleep talking. slept only 4 hours that night. above picture was taken prior to the race, on the way to the starting point.

you can go buy toto with my race number already hahahahah. but fyi, the number didn’t even get any prize for 4D or toto lah. lousy.

just before the race line. don’t know why would people want to waste their energy and start jogging even when the race line is so far off?

Obviously i was half-dead throughout the entire race so i didn’t take any during-race pictures. the above picture was after the race, at the huge field where you find the sponsors’ tents and all that stuff.

This was taken by my colleague who also went for the race. i didn’t bring my camera for this race. he ran throughout with his cam lor! hahahha.

err mandatory photo with the photowall.

bo bian. don’t take now, don’t know when can take again…doubt i have the guts, fats and energy to participate in another marathon. this one really killed my immune system.

right after this race, i came down with flu, headache, sore throat and fever…all within that same day. don’t even get me started about the bad body and muscle aches =.=””

and hor, my after race pics all damn ugly, so had to use mei tu xiu xiu. HAHAHAHA. what! who runs 10km at one go and still can look hot! don’t tell me about movies or celebs…*threatening glare*

i can haz a BMW balloon although i don’t have a BMW. HAHA.

say hello to my pink nikes! <3

so…..my race results! not the best, not the worst too! i daresay it’s pretty darn good for a first-timer and someone who never trained prior to the race!

actually i’m just glad i did’t die (literally) halfway or towards the ending point. my heart was beating so hard and fast in my ribcage. T___T close to seeing stars. even the thought of food didn’t manage to motivate me to run faster; the only personal goal was to NOT stop my pace.

there! i’ve blogged. transferred pictures from camera into hard disk. things don’t look that good HAHAHAH. wahlau eh, my TW pics from years ago never even edit finish lor. can die pls.

goodbye.

Christmas 2011.

Christmas eve 2011 was spent at work, all the way till the clock chimed to signify that midnight has arrived and that it was Christmas day! But I wasn’t alone. I had the company of some great colleagues as well as fatbear, shortly after.

In fact, all 6 days before Christmas was spent working like a mad dog/cow (whatever), to the point that I thought I was going to lose my sanity. But I didn’t. Thankful for that.

Received quite a lot of presents from my colleagues, clients, friends and the bf. Hahaha. Of course, one present from my mum too. I didn’t take any pictures of the presents I received this year. Didn’t feel the need to.

In fact, I didn’t even take the pictures of the presents I gave out.

Despite all that, I felt that this year’s Christmas was more heart-warming than the last. Just a vibe, can’t really place a finger on the exact reason as to where I got that vibe.

Anyhows, as I was saying, I didn’t take any pictures of my gifts this year…but this was too hard to resist! Hahahaha my mum actually got me domokun bookmarks hahaha.

Super funny can! The fact that she remembered that I like domokun is already very funny. I asked her how she remembered and she said it was ‘the teeth’ hahahahahahahahahah.

I’ll leave it at that.

In the office sending out emails now after I returned the loaned/sponsored items from my partners earlier this morning. Getting ready to leave the office and grab some quality time to spend with fatbear.

Have a very merry merry jelly Christmas everyone! Be happy and positive and don’t forget to love those around you, and to spare a thought for the less fortunate! Some of the best gifts don’t come with price tags. It’s always the thought that counts (:

Pink Nike Air.

And I wish I can fly. This way I can fly all the way from the starting point of the race to the end point. Hurhur.

Yup, I’m joining the standard chartered race this year, competing under 10km. Very minor to those pros out there. 10km. Actually would have been nothing a few years back. Now, it’s like chasing after the bus 635372826382 times.

Only joined because the entry was given free to me (one of the very few perks of being in my job) and I won’t feel like shit if I can’t wake up for the race in time. It’s not cheap lor!

#truestory (about the notbeingabletowakeupintimepart)

But my Nike Air trainers is pink so exercising makes me happy, so far. Shall post a picture of that bimbotic shoe some other day.

Anyway my pre-cramps are being a bitch so I’ll make this short. Shall post a picture of my part-time boyfriend Mr. D and one of a chipmunk.

Sorry if I scared you.
Nights! <3

Being thankful.

That said in the title of this entry, I probably have much more to learn about being thankful and grateful for what I have.

Everyday is a learning process. Learning to remind myself to look at the bigger picture and not to let small annoyances grow on me.

Just like the public transport.

Every morning without fail, my blood pressure skyrockets because the bus is not on schedule or because the train breaks down. In most instances, I fail to see the bigger picture. I get mad. Very mad. I mean, we’re talking about a 20 minute wait for ONE bus during peak hour! Actually, let me be honest. I still can’t see the bigger picture for this issue.

Let me give you another example: Being able to meet fatbear after a day of hard work, being in his warm embrace and telling me that everything is gonna be alright….I’m thankful for that.

But of course, our relationship is not perfect. It’s a constant effort from both parties.

But I guess the moral of this short (and rather pointless) post is to ask you guys to start appreciating people and things around you. Things you have. I’m not asking you to be contented. Just…grateful.

A simple smile from the cleaning auntie.

A grin and a few words asking about how you are recently from the security officer.

Even when a stranger thanks you with a warm smile for helping them hold the door open.

Because everything works in the law of parallelism, the more you are grateful for things in your life, the higher the frequency of things happening that will make you grateful.

Am I making sense? :p

Good night and good morning! Till then.
