pms-ing

Ive been rather moody the past few days. criticizing myself. i blame my period for that. I'm usually myself when its my period and i don't know why this month I'm affected by the new moon.

anws. work has been okay. usual stuff.

life. okay as well.

love life, rather boring.

the confirm activities/events for this month are the following,

14th - Rebel w/ babyboo
15th - Alpha Cargo Chalet
17th - Sari hunting w/ Aruna.
21st - Cycling at Ubin w/ cargo peeps.
23rd - Gundoos Gathering, as stated in the group chat but still pending though
&
26th - Aquamarine w/ Suz and the usuals.

excited for each one of them. Pulau ubin the most cos Ive never been there cos I'm a deprived citizen that way,

good day world!

chilly tuesday

so far, November hasn't any surprises for me yet and I'm talking about the good kind. no way can i accept  shocking events on the month of my birthday. I'll be extremely happy if nothing bad happens for the remainder of the year.

the vacation leave i applied for has been approved. excited to have the whole week to myself. would be even nicer if i had someone to spend it with. heh.

a few activities lined up for this month itself.

there is;

Alpha Cargo Chalet at Costa Sands on the 15th
cycling at Pulau Ubin w/ Alpha Cargo Team on the 21st
Buffet at Aquamarine w/ Suz and the Usuals on the 26th

a few meet ups planned as well. i am looking forward to all of them.

and planning for the L.A trip are already in the works. damn sure I'm superfuckingexcited for that.

but first, i shall be excited to shop for my very own Saree which is for my Coy's annual dinner and dance. :)

a wedding affair

!Warning!
Photo overload. 

finally found the time to upload the pictures from Suz's wedding. i would have taken more shots if i wasn't busy being the bridesmaid. hard work i tell you but it was all worth it in the end. all the photos are sort of behind the scenes. all in all it was an experience i would never regret.

they do say a picture tells a thousand words. so i shall let the pictures speak for themselves.

supper and late night talks

i had a wonderful sharing session with Suzana after work yesterday night. we had supper together after a long while as well.

i now know things about her that i didn't and she as well. i'm very happy that she feels that she can trust me with the things she shared. i'll be damned if i ever break that trust cos i finally found someone at work i can share things without them eventually telling others. she's like a big sister i never had. i'm also sincerely happy that she wants me to be her bridesmaid. its my first time ever and i hope i do not screw that up.

secrets were shared and some unexpected news about work i never knew and can now clarify to be the truth. i never liked to involve myself with the workplace gossip. and i usually find out things only when someone tells me but even so i'll forget after awhile.

Suzana also asked me to go for someone, give it a try cos she said he's a good catch. i think so too but i have to get over the fact that i'll be dating a colleague first and foremost.

being born under the Sagittarius star sign, my freedom and independence is something difficult for me to give up. and for me dating a colleague means that my freedom will be threatened cos everyone will be up in your business cos news travel super fast at work.

i have done quite well keeping a low profile at work and i don't want to change that so soon.

but i still will give it a go cos she has given me her recommendation.

when that bass starts thumping, we start bumping!

Sara, babyboo and me went clubbing at Zouk yesterday night. it was after all a ladies night event and the perfect timing to go because i will be on night shift the following day. 

we had tremendous fun throughout the night. we got ourselves amped up first outside before entering. once we entered and heard the bass thumping we did our bumping on the dance floor. we started the dance floor cos when we came in every other clubber was milling around the perimeter of the dance floor. 

so we decided to just do it. 

cutting this blog post short, we had so much fun dancing together, though i was MIA for a moment cos i didn't know what compelled me to take a nap by the roadside till the others couldn't find me. guess i still do trip the same way when I'm drunk, even after 4 years staying sober. so far no sign of my insomnia creeping up on me. if it doesn't then alcohol isn't the trigger anymore and I'm no longer suffering from depression. i have been staying away from booze for 4 years just 'cause my psychiatrist told me to. 

the relapse was prolly due to me thinking too much. i feel all better now, as in less mentally disturbed. hehe. goodbye depression, you got a good 4 years of my life and now i'm breaking up with you. :) 

anyways, it is mosdef a night to remember. 

thank you Babyboo and Sara for making it one helluva night. :) 

Iftar with my Loves

its a tradition for us to meet once during the month of Ramadan to have our iftar session or in other words break our fast together. now that most of us are working its getting harder and harder for us to meet up. and if we do, no matter how brief the meet up is, we cherish every single second.

i wished i had filmed it at least it  would have been more fun to do a vlog post instead of the usual words and pictures. alls good tho.

before everything went down in the kitchen at my house, Nadd and me met up earlier to do some shopping because we all agreed to bake lasagna for today's iftar. dropped by NTUC but we could not find the pasta sheets so we changed our minds and decided to do steamboat instead. that was where the dilemma started. e know for sure Nana cannot eat prawns cos she has allergies of some sort and we were not sure what the other girls liked. Nadd and me are the only ones not picky about food i think. so we decided to just leave our basket of groceries and head on over to CWP's cold storage instead, this time with Nuruz.

Snap!

finally went to Snap w/ Suzana after weeks of postponing. it was fun. like the last time i went w/ the others. again, we did not know what to do after a few shots so most of it was pure nonsense but despite the lack of ideas we still had fun. these are my fave shots.

here is the website just in case some of you Singaporeans are still living under a rock and do not know what iSnap is. Snap!

first ever morning hike.

i can strike off another activity that i always wanted to do and that is to hike in a nature reserve here in Singapore.

sad to admit that despite living here in SG all my life, there are a lot of activities and places that i have yet to do or visit. Nadd fulfiilled this one activity with me this morning and we are going to make it a monthly activity, well at least after Ramadan and Syawal have passed. hoping as well to invite the # other babygirls to join us.

we hiked at Macritchie because i wanted to see nature in all its glory via the tree top walk and i was glad i did. feels so great that there are still places in SG that are away from the hustle and bustle of the heartlands and city centre. felt so free while hiking.

while on the tree top walk. 

felt like i was floating on air :) 

anws,
while on the tree top walk bridge, Nadd and me had an epic moment.
Nadd did mention that she and her bf came across a monkey problem when they were last at Macritchie and both of us encountered the same monkey problem.

while we were on the birdge, we did see monkeys in the trees around us but decided to ignore them. not until reaching the end of the bridge and wanting to continue with the hike did we get a shock of our lives. upon reaching the metal door to get to the trek again, we were greeted by a troop of monkeys, sitting on the hand railings.

i tried to be brave and tried to walk past them but as soon as they started to move towards me, my knees went weak and i turned around and both Nadd and me got back on the bridge and waited for someone else to walk in front of us. we cant help but laugh to ourselves 'cos of our slight foolishness.

after the monkey problem was over with we continued onward to Jelutong Tower. climbed up the spiral staircase which made both of us dizzy but we managed to reach the top!

the view from the top of Jelutong Tower

felt the tower swaying while i was on top and i actually thought i was the one doing the swaying. another fail moment. the breeze was nice though.

oh, we both got caught in the rain whil making our way back to the rangers' station but we managed to find shelter at a hut with a few others who were caught in the same situation as us.

all in all i had a great morning spent with Nadd. talked about everything and anything.

the next activity i have to plan is iftar with the babygirls. :)

swimsuits and chicken rice!

yesterday had a swimming sesh w/ the usuals. i would not really call it swimming per se because we floated around the lazy pool most of the time. well Suz and me did, the guys were more accomplished with the swimming part. it was fun even though i would have loved to be in the water longer. 

Suz is leaving team Alpha for PCDU when she comes back from her short vacation to Bangkok. i swear a lot of people are going to Bangkok lately. Sister is coming back in about 3 days time so that's all that matters. :) 

well anyways, Suz is officially starting on the 2nd of July. definitely going to miss her a lot. we have grown very close these past few months. she is like a big sister to me because i feel i can trust her with my secrets and now i am starting to get all emotional. jeez!

it is difficult for me to trust my secrets with just anyone with the sole exception of my younger sister and my girlfriends and if i do share my secrets it means you mean something to me. 

sidetracked again. tsk!

anyways, again,

after the swimming sesh, Suz treated us to dinner at Mackenzie Rex Restaurant (my first time eating there ever!). actually the guys and me should have been the ones treating her instead of the other way around. Suz has always been the generous type. 

dinner was yummy just cause its my first time eating there and i was hungry. the portions were not bad though. after dinner we chilled at Starbucks, the Cathay branch. i was already halfway gone and the fact that i have been wearing my contact lens for more than 12 hours did not help but thankfully i did not forget to have my eye drops on my person. 

Suz and me have planned a long list of activities to do with the guys (Shahrul and Adin).

-rock climbing

-iSnap

-ice-skating , just Suz and me have agreed the guys not so much. 

 and some more that i have forgotten. heh. 

okay bye!

updates lah!

the collective birthday celebration that my girls and i planned, came off without a hitch! so happy that we made it real. the exchange of presents, the picture taking sessions throughout and the supper we had together. we ended up at Zura's place. i so cannot wait for next year's celebration. even though the celebration this year was only a few hours, we still had loads of fun. sharing and updating each other about the happenings in our life. i still wish that i can share more about my personal life, i have been rather naughty this past few weeks. its just that their judgement are the only ones that matter, aside from my family. i care what they have to say about me and my actions. i basically could not give a damn about what others have to say about me, cos they don't matter.

except for my family, my babygirls and a few i call my close friends, what other people have to say about me outside of this immediate circle does not concern me.

well anyways,
tomorrow will be the swimming sesh w/ the usuals. bought a swimming suit w/ Suz yesterday after watching The Dictator just cause we feel that it would look weird wearing our bikinis in a swimming complex. bought almost matching pairs. :D

i also received a lot of good news this week. the one that matters is that sister is finally coming home in 5 days time! i am so excited for her return! been planning a lot of things to do when she returns.

that's all! :)

Zura's Engagement

on the 15th of January 2012, another one of my girlfriends' got engaged.

congratulations, zurabudakcutegilernakmampos ;)

the princess for the day :)

June :)

hey hey, just got back from breakfast with my colleagues after my night shift. another night shift to go through later on.

anyways, the past two weeks have been rather exciting. except for work that is. work suck as usual. clearing all those singaporeans, prs, work permit holders and foreigners can make me go berserk sometimes. such ignorant people, ignorant about border security.

enough about work, i do not want to get depressed at home because of work.

last Monday i visited USS to spend some time with my lovely siblings. it has been a long time since i spent any time with them what with me working shift and sister working as well. which lefts brother busy with school and his girlfriend. it seemed like a good idea 'cos i felt guilty not being able to amass the funds needed to bring brother along for my vacation in Australia. thus the special USS treat. pictures will be up on brother's facebook soon. :)

i must say that the time spent there was awesome. the rides were awesome. especially the Revenge of The Mummy and Battlestar Galactica rides. fucking annoying but awesome. i have definitely decided to bring the whole family down to USS on my birthday plus a nights stay at Resorts' World Sentosa. i have actually star ed to do my financial research. soo sexcited for my birthday which is months away. hehs

moving on...

my colleague and one of my girl friends' are getting engaged this weekend and i still have yet to decide what i want to wear to each of their engagements. on top of that this weekend boyfriend has also asked me if i want to go somewhere and eat with him. as if he needs to ask if I'm free for him. silly boy. this all means that i have a busy weekend. one i have not had in a long time what with the shift working hours.

i must not forget to take sick leave on Sunday for my girl friend's engagement. I'll be damned if i miss that one.

i still don't know what to wear, any ideas?

that's about it i guess. see ya'll later :)

random talks over hot chocolate

Met Khai yesterday after work. it was an awesome afternoon spent with her.

the meeting time was at 5pm but there is always some random event that will make her late, always. this time around she had a fight with a random malay guy while waiting for the train to meet me. after that all went smooth sailing for us, well as smooth as it can get when we're together.

we talked about almost anything and everything, bitched about anything and everything that caught our eyes. well the bitching came from me most of the time 'cos i'm always the one who happens to be the one who will see something worth bitching about.

well you won't understand what i'm talking about until you go on a date with us and just observe our interaction.

that's about it i guess, i have to get myself ready for night shift.

highlights and such

my December has been pretty eventful.

my girls threw me a surprise belated birthday celebration and boy, was i surprised. there is a video but i have yet to upload it 'cos, like I've prolly said a hundred times, my laptop and desktop do not want to read my camera's memory card. so it will take ages to upload the vid and them pics they took.

anws, my face looked like this in the video or close enough to it.

next eventful thing was getting my hair coloured, I'm happy with the colour. just the right shade for work, which is not too obvious but obvious enough that the colours 'pop' when exposed to sunlight. that's what sister says anyways.

oh yeah, my hair has two tones. a dark brown shade for the base colour which i kinda forgot the name to and a dark mahogany blonde for the highlights. it turned out really gorgeous that even now I'm still touching my hair every few minutes. ;D

i daresay that it's the best investment i made on hair to date, I've had a few bad experiences with hairdressers last year, so I'm definitely happy that the stylist didn't screw up my hair. :D

anws, I've yet to go shopping, this time not for clothes but for make-up stuff 'cos ever since i started watching XSparkage's videos online i have a new found love for make-up and beauty. sounds vain but i don't really care 'cos it gives me something to do at home when i'm extremely bored.

sadly, most of the stuff she uses like Inglot Cosmetics, Urban Decay and Too Faced just to name a few don't ship to Singapore yet. so far only Eyeko nail polishes are shipped internationally. so I'm gonna start investing money in clothes and make-up from now on. more so on make-up since i ahve way too many clothes combinations to get by

and so, imma do some serious damage to Sephora@ION next week. they better be prepared when sister and me hit their store. *insertevillaughterhere*

movie date and updates

caught this yesterday with Khai over at our usual spot. i won't comment on the movie just yet 'cos I'm waiting for the 2nd part to be released next July, i think. anywho, Doby the Elf was cute in the movie too bad it didn't get that much screen time.

anyways, Khai gave me an early birthday present and wished me happy 22nd instead of 21st. i actually didn't realise it until she told me 'cos i was touched that she got me a gift. coincidentally, it was the same body shop perfume i wanted to get for myself the day that i tried it last October when i went out with the boyfriend. i couldn't purchase it then 'cos i wanted to buy some stuff from our night safari trip. i swear she's psychic sometimes.

oh yeah, the name of the perfume is Japanese Cherry Blossom. it's uber nice smelling. i like.

other than that there's not much to update. work is work. life at home is as normal as it can get. looking forward to an intimate dinner with boyfriend and sister.

next month is another different story.

Date with the Minah Mengajar a.k.a Nuruz!

I had a fun time hanging out with my babygirl today. as usual we acted like complete idiots when we're together. always making way too much noise. always making too many unnecessary comments about the people and things around us. and talking about every conceivable thing we can imagine talking about.

i think it's been ages since we hung out together just the two of us. spazzing and whatnots.

it's kinda difficult to describe our day, you just have to be there and observe us. :D

anyways, way before all the spazzing and idiocy from the both of us. mother and me went out early in the morning, okay so not early, maybe around lunchtime, to go buy kain untuk baju raya this year. got it done in about one and a half hours. we're wearing light grey in different tones this year. oh, and brother got two more different colours. i'm a bit unhappy about that but nehmind, i'll buy my own kain once my pay comes in, i already have 2 different designs in mind and so i'll be buying 2 more different sets of kain.

do not mind the mix of malay words, i can't be bothered to blog in total english.

bye world!

Anxiety

I just found out that June leave results won't be out till mid-month. total bummer 'cos i'm totally delaying the plans. So sorry girls. :(

It just makes me that much anxious. well, anyways, i failed my BTT the other day and i have about another month to study for it again.

very short update 'cos my msn meetup with the girls is in session right now. next time then. :)

Update(s).

hello world, i'm back again. though i don't know when i'll be back blogging about my oh-so un-exciting life.

well anyways, i had a movie date with Khai. we watched Alice in Wonderland, in 3D! okay, ignore my excitement about watching Johnny Depp in 3D. it was my first time watching a movie in 3D. so, again, ignore my jakun-ism.

the movie itself was okay, the graphics were beautiful but in the end the plot just went dry. if it wasn't for Johnny Depp being n the movie i wouldn't have watched it, so yeah, i have this super big crush on him. now i'm sounding just a tad bit like a crazed fan girl.

i had major fun with Khai, we talked about almost everything. and we did alot of stupid stuff. and because of that, i'm totally excited to meet my girls this weekend.

by the way i watched Alice in Wonderland again with my siblings. not that great watching it w/o 3D. then we went to Popular to browse book titles. found a few titles and a few series of books to get my hands on with my next pay packet. I have this sudden need to read other vampire type books after and other than the Twilight Saga.

this is a heads up for those of you who want some other vampire related book to read other than the Twilight Saga, it's called the Hose of Night Series. i find it more believable than Twilight 'cos Twilight is more fantasy/romance based whereas the House of Night series to me is more realistic in a sense 'cos the way the authors included how it feels to be a teen and having supernatural powers like the main protagonist has.

I've read the first 6 books, in 5 days cos i'm a freak like that, and am waiting excitedly for the 7th book to be in stores.

so yeah, these are the books i'm talking about.

bye everybody. :)

I.MISS.THEM.

Azura- " Sorry to disturb u girls at this hour......its just that i miss u girls soooo much that i had tears in my eyes. Weird rite? Hehe. I'm so adorable kan? Have a gud rest n sleep tite k darlingss...muakz! I miss u girl so much!! "

I woke up to that message and it made my morning just like that. I have a stupid smile on my face since then. Knowing that someone misses you until they tear up is really something, huh? it's a wonderful feeling indeed to feel loved when someone says they miss you. i'm just damn lucky to be surrounded by kick ass friends.

i have nothing left to say here because words alone aren't enough to describe the friends i have with me. i can go on forever trying to find the exact words or sentences to describe them.

oh, Azura is forever adorable and my Favourite ladies are forever kick ass!

fyi, i may be changing my link soon. :)

random events :)

nothing much to update actually.

first i saw nadd and sul while working yesterday. and today i had the "good fortune" to be at the green channel the whole day. and at the motorcycle side of it lagi. wah, aku tkleh angkat die nye asap and habuk.

anyways, i'd like to share an old story, it happened a few weeks ago and only now i remembered to blog about it. okaylah cerite dah basi but tetap aku nak blog pasal itu cerita.




well this cat was loitering outside the clinic near my place when i went there to get my mc for the reunion event. while i was waiting for my turn to go and see the doctor, the cat came to me and sat by my feet. the most adorable moment of 2009. and it wanted to go into the room with me.

okay, so the story has lost it's excitement the way i told it but anywho, don't you think that the cat is adorable? i have a thing for light grey coloured cats. especially since Babylove's disappearance.

that's about it. :)
