ah siao has mutated

trust me, i've already tried feeding him with diet cat food. according to THIS he is not an overweight cat - but an OBESE one.

1) Ribs and backbone not easily palpable under a heavy fat covering
2) Abdomen rounded; waist barely visible to absent
3) Prominent flank folds which sway from side to side when walking

black or beige??

so what does a nude colour bra mean to a black woman?

black? or beige?

amazingly, this topic of discussion kept the BB girls going all afternoon.so the answer is BLACK lah!

ah siao's arm was chopped off!!!

OMG!!! this morning i had a dream! i dreamt that one of ah siao's (my fat cat) arm like fell off.. being chopped off. don't know how the arm came off but the dream was so vivid - i remember i grabbed an ice box (it was blue in colour) and sanitized it with dettol (my best friend) before filling it up with ice, so that i can put ah siao's chopped off arm in the box. in the dream i didn't have enough ice and i panicked. lol.

then i held ah siao's broken arm and like tried to wrap it up with a clean plastic bag for transportation to the clinic. in the dream i even determined that simei pet clinic is the nearest to my house. hohoho...

anyways it was so traumatizing!! the first thing after i woke up was to find ah siao and examine if his arm is still intact!! i hugged the fat cat so tightly, until he bite me. #$%^&* -- but i still went on to tell him i will continue to take care of him even if one day his hand kena chopped off for whatever reason!!!

anyways -- SCARY DREAM LAH!!!!

chef at large

chicken wings with 'special' marinadetop shell salad with thai style saucebaby asparagus wrapped in bacon.me and my table of food. i like cooking for friends and family. somehow i feel that cooking's therapeutic and alot of thoughts actually go through my head whilst cooking.most importantly - when friends are generous with their compliments and enjoy the food i prepared for them. it's a great sense of satisfaction to have. i dream to have my own place, where i can invite whomever i like, whenever i want to my house for dinners. work towards that dream!!

the taxi man and his 4D strategy

i was in this cab other day and the uncle striked 4D whilst i was in his car (halfway through the journey the 4D result was out). the uncle even showed me his lottery ticket, hah.

the uncle went on to tell me how often he strikes lottery and the biggest winnings he ever collected was over a hundred thousand dollars! he then imparted his 4D strategy, saying that he derived this strategy from his many years of lottery buying experiences.

i'm going to go with his 'strategy' - hohoho....

qix's kindness movement

believe me or not, i'm always thinking how i can be more considerate to the people around me starting from the things i do in my average Singaporean life. i feel the compelling need to be more considerate as i grow older - it's like when you are young you feel the whole world is about you and have this "as long as i happy can liao" kind of attitude.

apart from the usual stuffs like not cutting queue, letting people alight from the train first, not hogging escalator 'lanes', holding the door etc..(which i am already a proud practicioner) here's is a list of what i do (or at least consciously TRY to do):

1) clearing up the table after a meal at a hawker centre or fast food restaurant -- this is very much influenced by the dad. he always clear our plates for the next person waiting to sit at our table - i think it's a very nice gesture which i have taken on. his take on this is simple: "you dont find it disgusting if you clear your own plates, but if other people have to touch your plates then very digusting right?" .. i love the dad :)

but i find it difficult to keep to it all the time especially when i'm eating with my friends because i always get weird stares from my them and asking "huh you clear the table for wat?" (-_-)" .. or "huh must ownself clear table one meh?" (-_-)"

2) be more generous with saying "Hello", "Thankyou" and "Please"

3) not talk or laugh too loudly in public places, especially indoor places like restaurants or cafes. -- dude, i am WORKING on this. haha, i have to admit i still have lots of room for improvement. but it doesn't help when i am surrounded by equally loud friends :p

4) chit chat with taxi drivers - ok you might find this strange. but seriously, these guys are LONELY. it's like whole day in the taxi - if passengers don't talk to them then they have no one to talk to. so sian! i ALWAYS chit chat with taxi drivers, unless i am super konked out and wants to sleep in the car. i love to talk to them - most of the time it's very interesting cos taxi drivers quite 'ba gua'. even though sometimes the topic is boring, i'm still happy to keep them 'entertained' for a while so that they don't feel so bored mah! hahaha.

singapore kindness movement

apparently Singa the lion is now seen around the island reminding people to be kind -in conjunction with the Singapore kindness movement. actually it got me a little confused - isn't Singa the mascot for our courtesy campaign? so is the courtesy campaign same as the kindness movement? are we saying courteous = kind? hmm... maybe lah. anyways someone told me before that Singa the lion is not that courteous himself cos he never wear his pants. hahaha!THIS PAGE shows a poll of what should Singaporeans do to improve their level of kindness. have a look at it!

so many slippers but only one pair of feet

i need to STOP buying! (and this is after tossing out a couple pairs)but presents are welcomed :)

of coming to work late...

me and the dad woke up late this morning. both of us overslept cos we were erm.. dreaming. i was supposed to be at work by 7 but we woke up at 645. i would have slept on if he didnt come wake up.

he was so nervous and rushed to get ready, he didnt even go by the nearby coffeeshop to get his daily dosage of kopi-O because he knew how important it was for me to be on time. on the contrary, i was quite nonchalent about it - and i don't know why? i used be be damn kancheong spider if i were to be late for work. hmm.. is this a sign?

to be honest, i was very touched by his actions. he didnt need to send me to work every morning but he did - everyday without fail. and he was even more concerned than me when we were late... this is the way he show his love to me.

there is no way i can love him like the way he loves me...

but i really should do more for my family.. i really should.

love bleeding

phine and i went for lunch at MOS burger today. lunch was peaceful and happy cos we had the whole place to ourselves since it was only 11am. after some time i realised the stereo in the restaurant had Leona Lewis' 'Love Bleeding' on REPEAT mode.

so assumming the song is about 5 mins in length and we were having our lunch from 11 to 1150... i'd have heard the song for like 10 times! hmm..

i knocked off at 5pm and felt hungry so i walked back to MOS again for dinner on my own. yeap, you've guessed it - Leona Lewis is still in the restaurant. for another 30 minutes of dinner time i was listening to 'Love Bleeding' on REPEAT mode.

now the song's stuck in my head. grr...luckily it's a good song. heh.

i sent phine a text message:

"fin... i went back to MOS and ate the same thing i had for lunch. i've learnt how to sing 'Love Bleeding' whilst having dinner. i sing for you tomorrow in office ok?"


hahaha.

my first iPod touch experience

am writing this entry with my new iPod touch at airport terminal 2 starbucks. brought the iPod here so that LL can show me how to use it. (say hello to an Apple idiot here, thanks) afterall it's like my first time using (and owning) an Apple product. i was pretty amazed at what an iPod can do!! - but LL told me to calm down because the technology has been around for a long time •_• whatever...

looks like I still have a long way to go when it comes to Apple. but i'm still standing by Microsoft, that's for sure. ok shall end my entry here as LL is getting a lil restless here cos I spent the last 45mins writing this.
