gonna need to take a break...

yes, i am gonna have to take a break because i have too tired recently. i seriously don't know what i am up to. or rather, what my body is up to. i have been suffering from headaches and neck aches and all. so i've decided, on friday when i help run some errands for my family, i will also totally rest. i don't know why my neck and my back of my head is so tensed up. i think i will take some muscle relaxant to help reduce the tension in my body. and of cause i also need to pray.

i really wanna thank God that, on saturday and sunday, at church (St John's Chapel), SHINE performed really well!! i was so glad that jon joined me in church and heard me sing for the first time (and of cause watched the show we took so long to prepare)!! and he say i sang really well!! and he was so surprised! i am so happy too. really, i was too nervous! i cannot do this well, if i am in it alone. only with the glory of God and the love of my friends, all their support, i managed to do this well. :) and to think i was really ill prepared! as in, i didn't have much time to practice! only once every other wednesday.

wah so i am so happy we did well. and on sunday, i am very glad, a long time friend, xiting, joined us for service. i haven seen her for such a long time and i heard she was having some problems but when i see her smiling and being so happy, i was really glad as well. :) i had a great lunch with her and eunice yee and then we went for ktv together. yes, i was really exhausted. but i was really glad to spend time with good friends too.

by the way at work today, i managed to clear most of my paper work. and i feel great. it's good. i wanna complete as much as possible and on friday, rest and relax for a better future! earn more money for me and my jon! :) jiayou jill!! :)

absolutely drained

Recently I feel super drained. Like my whole body's mechanism failure sia. I can sleep everywhere, anywhere and super deep sleep that kinda feel. On the bus can sleep, lie down on the bed can like sleep immediately, at Zouk also can yawn! Oh and while I am at my desk during work time, wah, the sleepy monster TOTALLY kidnap me sia! I think coffee is just the way to go for me man. More care americanos PLEASE! :)

On monday i met jon for dinner, because he wanna take me to pasta fesca (after all the complaining on sunday that we dun hang out anymore, heh heh heh) and some ice cream. really baby, i appreciate your effort! And i really LOVE U! Muacks! :p After dinner, I laid on the bed and like knocked out for ONE WHOLE hour without knowing. I told jon that he has to wake me up in like 15 mins, as I only wanted to nap for 15 mins. End up, one whole hour went by! He told me he came to nudge me and talk to me and hug me to try to wake me but I think I didn't stir at all.

I dunno what's wrong with me. I always associate this kinda tiredness to too much toxins in my body but cannot be ey! I went for body detox treatment and massage on Saturday! Supposed to clear my body ey. I think clear too much ah, even more tired. HAHA! Anyway, it's almost 1230am now. I think i should try to get some sleep before it's too late and later today I really suffer! Good night!! :)

Happy birthday Singapore!

Hello! it's me again!! it's Singapore's 46th birthday today. it's been a long time since i watched any NDP shows. even though some people might feel that the NDP might be kinda silly, i kinda wished i have a chance to catch it though. or at least catch the fireworks section. however, sad to say, i have not been able to watch NDP for like, ever.

This year, as usual, I missed the NDP. I am at work in my dad's shop. :( tired ey. I really super tired already. I am not only tired with work and all the hassle and bustle in life but also I am very mentally drained emotionally. Tired physically can just go home and relax and sleep, or go for a massage to untie the knots in my body, but this other aspect of tiredness I feel, cannot be quench with just pure sleep and rest. This other degree of tiredness probably stems from jon. Perhaps somehow, in some ways I am feeling impatient with having to wait for things to happen. Or perhaps just for this week, I feel really uptight or something. I dunno why but I feel kinda horrible.

Why ah? It feels odd ey! Anyway it is not in his nature to be petty about most things, so I think I better not anyhow think lor. He said he is just bored n restless at camp. Ok lor. Haha. :) so be it. I just ate a whole load of stuff in the shop! Porridge, cakes, magnum! All the sweet homely foods to make me feel good n supposed to be better. Jiayou ok Jill! Fighting! Tomorrow is another long day at work! :) i am about to fall asleep at the shop now. really not used to working so long hours anymore.

So so tired n unlucky!

So tired these couple of days! I think it is cause I am PMSing. And lotsa unlucky things happened! When we were having dinner on Sunday (we, as in jon, me, his neighbours, like 9 of them) at peperoni's, we saw a car run down a lil kitten! Thank God a plant was in my direction of the wounded animal so I didn't exactly see the blood and all the gore. So poorthing! The mummy cat and his/her other siblings were so sad! They were all meowing by the dead body. :( the staff of peperoni was very nice. We suspect they were taking care of the kittens for awhile already. One of the male waiters took some newspaper n wrap up the poor fella. They also poured detergent filled water over the bloody area to rid the smells of the dead kitten to prevent the other kittens from gathering around the area n kanna bang down as well.

Another unfortunate thingy happened. My hamster died. :( I dunno how it happened but the hamster jon bought me for valentine's day died! :( so sad! Bacon died. Dexter called me to go home as he found out that bacon was still n she was already bloated. Now I am only left w cheese. Ok cheese I will love u more and buy u lotsa treats! No more dieting k! Haha!

Sunday night was really an unlucky night. Even jon got the first parking ticket in his driving life. This really sucks! Hope the start of august will be much much better!

Dear God I commit the rest of the month to you! I pray for knowledge, wisdom, strength, perseverance n self control. Amen!

Hokkien Mee!

i just cooked hokkien mee! just because 2 weeks ago i ate the hokkien mee cooked by jon's mum and it was SUPER DELICIOUS! so i decided to cook a batch of noodles myself. of cos i picked up some tips from aunty. :) oh by the way, it is for sure that her noodles are MUCH more delicious than mine because she is super experienced and super GOOD in cooking and her noodles included a whole load more ingredients! hers has prawns and sotong and a lot more veggie and fried onions and of cos some pig fat. :p mine only taiwan sausage, fishcake, bean sprouts and noodles. but still as shiok because she taught me good tactics!

ok i am gg to feast now! haha. TATA!

ZOO TRIP!

i brought my children to the zoo!! :) i had sooo much fun with them, especially at the fragile forest! weeee!! so glad to have went out of the way and volunteered to bring them around. even though it rained like mad and i was pissed with jon for some reason that is too childish to even disclose now hahaha. (sorry dear!*) thank you God for everything. for making nature this perfect and for showing love on every living thing. :)

my kids at the pygmy hippo enclosure :) so cute right, see the way they stand. haha! so tiny. 

my fave lil cute small baby pygmy hippos! look like pig trotters right!! :) 

some (ugly) lizard :p

baby baboon on mummy baboon's back! 

a whole LOT of them FEASTING!

feasting time for turtles as well! :) 

so cute, but so stinky. 

i touched this lemur! :) 

me me me!

greedy!!

i have been soooooo greedy lately! omgosh! i have been eating so much! wantan mee, la mian, dumplings, carrot cake, har gow, siew mai, nasi lemak, all the rice and fried chicken, chicken legs, fried rice, curry puff, cheesy chicken balls, all that. oh and the day before i met jon at brinjal park, and we ate the usual hot and sour soup, coffee pork ribs, butter squid and rice. wahhhh really totally went all out and gorge man. i think i put on like, 5 kgs already lor! and i am SUPPOSED to lose weight some more man! die die die... fat till die man. :(

i think i am PMSing. because of the darn onsite assessment, my PMS is so delayed and now i am so bloated and always hungry. :( haiz! all this stress is coming back FULL CIRCLE! and my MOOD! so horrid lately!! ok to all my friends whom i have blasted at some time or other this 2 weeks: i am soooo sorry for being in such a bad mood and for being rude, so sorry and thank you for being so tolerant! :) i promise i will work hard and keep my temper down! :)

YAY! it's the END!

YAY!! i'm so happy! the onsite assessment from the gahment is finally overrrr.. :) 3 full days of torment, omgosh. hahaha!!

Sincerely, all the assessors were pretty nice people. Especially the nice Indian lady who was in charged of my section. Of cause i really dreaded the times when she comes to ring the bell to ask me for information because that just means more stressful moments for me!! But i am sure she is just doing her job and the same goes for everyone else. we really wanna PASS THIS and get LICENSED! I hope we have been a great host to them and they like everything we have provided in the room for them to assess us well.

That being SAID! after 3 days of audit and only God knows how many hours of toiling in the office (my very pretty and kind boss, made sure we all got fed and got enough support), we are finally done and me and Sin Yee will be off for 2 days, to rest and relax and chill!!

I realised it was a LONG time before i went about my regime. Because i was so tired out and demoralised and worried for the last 2 weeks or so, I hardly followed my regime for my beauty and stuff. So today i treatment my hair, masked my face, serumised everything, lotioned everywhere. haha. and of cos, i will aim to sleep earlier and wake up later. I want my body to replenish and heal from all the stress. :)

I was so nervous during the closing presentation they did for us, my heart almost STOPPED. Ok, i think my heart DID stop a few times really.

Anyway I am hungry now, I just made some dumplings but cannot find the vinegar so i am eating them blind. so TATA! :)

death

today feels like death. it's the morning of the 2nd day of our audit with the gahment. yesterday i was feeling the strain already. was under fire for a whole load of things. feels super shitty. however i was able to like talk my way out and i have good colleagues that kinda like... helped me turn the situation around.. it's 840am. i am sitting alone in the office because i came early to prepare the office and the school for the... whatever. everything. students and audit and this and that. i hope everything goes on well later. DEAR GOD! PLEASE!

Dead tired lately! *yawn!*

Things in the office has been going on at a very quick pace recently. We are all actively preparing for the onsite assessment. However, there were some rather 'cute' things that happened along the way that, I should say, made the relationship amongst colleagues much better! :) Lately we don't really have much chance to sit and chill and catch up over lunch because, we are so busy and high strung that we all rather lunch in and take the time to do our work. On Monday, Tuesday I stayed in the office until like 1045 then go home! so tired by the time i reach home, i just shower, blow dry my hair and lie on the bed to sleep. Oh of cos I watched a lil bit of NCIS, Bones and some other show like White Collar along the way. :)


Sometime cute happened on Tuesday. In the midst of all the tension hanging about in the office, our office experienced a BLACKOUT! we were all like, WHAT THE FUDGEEEEEE... NOW??? are you SERIOUSLY KIDDING ME?? We didn't managed to get all the lights back on till like an hour later, so we effectively sat around and wasted like one hour, listening to music and eating Yami Yogurt. We ate that cause the fridge was, obviously out of electricity as well, so we might as well eat before the thingy starts to melt. We also took the time to catch up, chill and like, talk and laugh. To get some of the tension out of the way. :) After the electrician got the stuff fixed, we went back to work for about an hour before heading home. :)

On Wednesday, me and sin yee stayed in office till like 1230AM working on our stuff. Actually for the last 2 hours, I was helping her with her stuff. I simply have no more brain space for my own stuff already. TOO DRY! The lift went off at 12, so we had to take the stairs. While climbing the stairs down, and reaching level 10, there were no more lights! We were terrified and had to use sin yee's phone to light the way down .Mihwa and Feng were very nice to come pick us up and give us a lift home. :) I went back, slept and before i know it it was daylight. SHUCKSSSSS.... back to WORK JILL!! -_-"

Thursday... What about Thursday (today!) we had life drawing session. I did all the prepping of the class with Fai and she bought us century egg and pork porridge (super niceeeeee!!!) and we toiled thru the day. I met jon for dinner. it's was so good!! Sushi Tei!!! i had my uni sushi! i had too! i was too stress to scrimp! we spent good time together, had coffee and i had green tea black sesame frap and a long long walk and talk. jon  has totally made the effort recently. :) thanks sweet heart! :)

gonna sleep now. BYE!

kill me now, audit. kill me.

I bleed my heart out on this pappppeerrrrrrr....

I'm ALL IN for life. :)

I'm ALL IN!

full blow monday blues on sunday night

btw, today, now, i am experiencing the blues like, 100%, POW! BAM! right in my face.

i did my revision on all the policy manuals, operation manuals and SOP, KPIs for all work related stuff earlier in the day. i studied the notes like 3 times over. i hope at least 90% of all i read up on, went into my head. i purposely did not take a nap so that i can like, sleep well at night. it's quite a feat i must say, cause i woke up at like 630am to leave the house together with jon. it's only like 9pm now but it feels like 11plus. i think it is supposed to be good.

i had some bread for breakfast. shiok. and then i took a long bath, treatment my hair and went to run some errands at Watsons. :) Bought lunch  (steam chicken and rice) and went home to watch tv (and revise more). i catch up with Sweet Love. she come back from Bangkok liao. :) i think we will meet up in August for a meal; after my auditing madness and her crash course thingy in school.

THEN! i went to Forever21 to spend money (JIN JIALAT!) i dun wanna say much because i feel very damn guilty liao. i stayed in the store for more than 2 hrs, trying and choosing and deciding and calculating and still spending a lot of money at the end. jon called me crazy. hahaha.. TMD. never die before.

anyway, that being said, now i am at home watching new series on FOX: Detroit 1-8-7. first ep. try ah. if i get bored i will change channel to AXN to watch CSI. :D my FAVE!

the weekend is (almost) over!!! :((

time really flies. especially time that is relaxing. so sad. i'm feeling the Monday blues already!!  WOOOO :((

this weekend i did not get to spend much time with jon. he booked out on friday evening and he has to book back in on Sunday 830am. we met at novena square and since we were early, we had yami yogurt and a ham and cheese crepe. since we kinda had a minor argument on thursday, during our meet up, he was exceptionally nice. :) i supposed it's all good.

we went to my dad's shop to have dinner together with the family. it's my mum's birthday is on Saturday so we went to like have dinner and spend some family time together. my youngest brother cooked some really delicious soft shell crab and baked chicken for all of us. it was yummy. :) then we went to a newly opened creamery to have ice cream nearby. i wasn't feeling quite well because i think i was really dead beat with stress and whatnots for the whole day (or week rather).

i dun think i was the only one who had a bad week. jon too. in camp he told me he had a lot of paper work to handle and this and that heavy things to carry. he doesn't tell me much, and i will not disclose much as u know, camp stuff, classified la. therefore, i think this week, we were all too stressed up and too high strung. that's why after dinner and after taking a cab home, all i wanted to do was to take a long hot steaming bath and lie down in bed. jon too. we put a movie on and bearly 15 mins in, we both fell asleep.

jon's brother, jeremy, and his sister-in-law, joyce, were on their way back from Switzerland. their plane touched down at singapore changi airport at 630am? or sthg like that? for me i continued sleeping (too tired!) but jon woke and went with his parents to the airport. he misses his brother a lot. so sweet. :) when they came back from breakfast, i was introduced to jeremy. this will be the first time i've met him. i've seen joyce before the last time she was back for a break.

at night, his cousins and aunties and nieces and nephews held a BBQ party at their place at pasir panjang area. the food was delicious! i think i ate too much! too much beef, thai-style tung hoon, fish, sausages, salads, chicken wings, ribs... it was sooo good. :) i am thankful that i am received by his family. i know it is not easy to like, be receptive to everyone. so i am really happy and glad that his family members are very nice people and we get along pretty okay. i try la. :) anyway, when we returned home, we were still tired out from everything and had an early night. i was a lil sad cos he has to book in at 830am the next morning. :( but ok ah. i can get used to it. he can still call me at least.

before i end off my entry, i just wanna note that, i really wanna thank God for bringing me thru for my career and my work. i was really unable to focus and i am so glad for this rest, this clarity. i wanna thank God for wisdom and all the knowledge He has given to me to make this easier. i am so thankful that i am well received by my bosses and my colleagues and He has really given me so much. i know i am not a (book) smart person. therefore i am very happy that He helped me gain and learn so much. dear God, i also wanna thank you for jon. i don't why and how, you have made everything so smooth and so right that it feels so complete. God, please be with us, and guide us along the way in our lives. may we walk closer to you and get to know U better day after day. Jesus name, Amen. :)

Jin Jialat!

Hello I was so so angry just now! Omg! I mean my anger has to do w no one's fault. My sweetheart pretty colleague Sin Yee was very kind n accompanied me for dinner after a long hard day at work. It was quite tough! We worked till abt 9pm. It was okay though in a way cos she was waiting for her bf, Jason too. I wasn't waiting for anyone and I have no date so I decided to complete more paper work in the office. We had amazingly shiok prata. I was so hungry. N I am sure I am so fat too now. Ok ok before I digress too much, lemme get to the point: after dinner I was so tired n i couldn't get a cab for sooo long n I was so urgent! Yes! I really needed to pee! Aiyoh! Jin jialat! Hahaha!

My fave phase of the day is jin jialat! Today kingston n I went to source for a tower fan for our certificate room n we couldn't find one for sooooo longgg, so jin jialat again! Called some supplier n couldn't understand his Japanese accented English, so jin jialat again! Didn't buy my fave honey glazed chicken from bugis street n ate so much of Tze Wei's portion so jin jialat! Everything jin jialat! jon also jin jialat! Everyone got off day tmr he stuck in camp, he also jin jialat! Kor lian man we all! Bad day! :(

lighters in the sky

this one's for you and me

i love this!

:)

our 6-yr promise.

jon says, 6-yrs. when he is 28 and i am 34, i think, the wait will come to an end. i will be patient. he will end army in like 2012, his uni, 2 years more, 2014. he will then be 25. then he has to work like 3 years in the industry, 2017, when he is 28. then i think it's it! i hope by then we will still be together. :)

mini curry puffs and friendship.

I did so much today! woke at 930, went to make a couple of phone calls to get my hair appointment done. I've decided to like do a treatment and to leave some highlights in my hair. :) nice. i look very ah lian now but i think i can use some ash colour over them like about 3 weeks later. :) and i booked my gel-lish nail appointment. i had my hair done, my nails done, everything, and i am looking nice as hell and i went to church.

I met Esther for church, then we went to Holland V for dinner at NYDC. I love NYDC. I love their pastas. But today i had baked rice. Esther had baked rice too. I think Esther and I have a wonderful friendship. I mean, we are like 9 years apart (I am 28 and she is like 19) but we can communicate like we are of the same age. We have the same mentality and the same mindset. :) Wonderful. In anyways, after dinner we went to Cold Storage to buy some Ant Kill cause my room is like infested with ants from my Ham Ham cages. I wanted to buy some Roach Kill too because that day there was this damn HUGE cockroach in my room. But I didn't because I wanted to save money. HAHA.

We went our separate ways later. I took bus 165 back to church then 153 home. The whole time I was on the phone with jon. My sweetheart. When I returned home I had some mini curry puffs papa bought and left in the freezer. YUMMY! Simple comfort food. :D Oh I can't wait to see my darling tomorrow morning. Miss him so. :)

Now I will wait for jon to call and I am gg to enjoy my Criminal Minds 6. :p TATA!

oh well well. :D

Actually you know, because i was so stressed lately, and with Fai buying breakfast (that actually when i actually have time to eat, it will be lunch time) for me everyday this week (vegetarian beehoon with cabbage and beancurd) and that i dun go out to actually eat other kinda unhealthy food, i lost weight.

I mean like without any other effort made, i lost like 1 kg. Oh of cos I dun eat unnecessarily in the afternoons (close inspection from control freak Fai) and when i am really stress i have Yami Yogurt. I know every morning i run to and fro class, from class to class to the office and i clean the white boards in each class, I actually work out quite a bit in the morning. OK even though this is unhealthy and spastic, i really wanna lose a bit more weight. :D

I think i might work out more during the weekends. I really pretty enjoy running and swimming and like gg to the gym to use the weights and the rowing machine, the cycling machine all. i really like sports! oh and having said that, i miss jon. i wanna see him now. hahaha!

stressed!

I was so so stressed for the last few days! oh my gosh i hardly even had any sleep! i think i was really like stressed up and like, all over the place because of the up and coming gahment audit my office is supposed to go through during mid-april. the tension of the entire last few days was really thick! at least for me! i felt so like incompetent. at night when i lie in bed all i can think about is the work i have to do in the office, the work i have YET to complete in the office and more follow-ups i have to do in the office. :(

Actually i thought things MIGHT have been better if i had more time to spend with jon. However, my boy had to do some kinda army duty in his camp for the whole of this weekend. :( he'll only be home on Sunday morning. i am so sad and i am like, got no one to like throw tantrums to! :(( double whammy sad!

However, that being said, let me recount the recent happenings in my life. :)

We have a class of 16 new students. All bubbly and very cute! :) They all started out pretty shy but as the days pass i can see them gelling and getting to know each other, fitting in in Singapore and in the school. I am very happy. I would like to see all 16 of them excelling in school, learning new things everyday and basically, have fun while they are pursuing an education in our school. :) I hope to see them really just being happy. This is all I want for my kids. Really. Sometimes i get really bogged down at work, but whenever i make my rounds, they will never fail to tell me some lame joke to make me happy and make me laugh. :)

Besides caring for them and answering all the questions they have about the school and the course, i was bz with the current students. :) they are all still cute and still having that energy. I hope they too excel! All the best my babies! I was also bz with the ADs. Making sure they get what they need for each class, making sure all the documents are in place. Today, i am so HAPPY to announce that i am FINALLY done with the bulk of the work in office! So happy when i was checking my tasklist and everything is DONE. :p JILL, JIAYOU! FIGHTING! :)

Today i went for KTV with Bobby and some friends. I enjoyed my walk back from Ah Hood Rd to home. I love walking at night. In the cool night air. Clears my head. Just finished my shower, just had my Yakult. Now i am gg to enjoy my NCIS Season 5. Love yyaaaaa BITCHESSSSSS... :)

great break and weekend! :)

last week was crazy! but i had a great break and a great weekend.

it started last Wednesday. that was the last day of the work week for me. YES! i was on a 2 day leave on Thursday and Friday. but i wasn't feeling that well actually on Wednesday itself it seemed. i woke up ok and all but then on my way to work i actually felt realllyyyy nauseous. i knew it has to do with my PMS and stuff. nowadays my body is a lil odd. i am lessening on the cramps but increasing in the vomitting-feeling dept. i hate it. makes me feel, unfunctionable. dun even know if there is this word but i dun really care. cos i think i old already, body change. haha.

anyway, i hobbled to work then tried my best to finish my day productively, trying to finish up as much work as possible before my break. after work, i was ready to like relax and enjoy my time off. (i know when i get back to work i will die with the work load but hey, at at i had a break right?) jon came to pick me up at the same old place, sunshine plaza car park there. i was really quite dizzy by then but i was v v determine to like, really enjoy my break. we went for dinner at wilkie edge. at daebak. i really like that korean restaurant and i have been telling jon all abt it for the longest time so we decided to go check out the place. i usually have the korean miso soup and noodles but on Wednesday i had the hot stone bibimbap with pork. jon had the beef one. :) it was delicious and he likes it as well. he told me this is the first time he is eating this dish. i was like, are u kidding me? haha. anyway, that being said, we went to return the car to his parents at tanglin club and then we went to zouk to meet leroi and shawn and this other friend. :) i dun really remember much about zouk, only that i think i was super smashed and i couldn't find jon at one point and i made shawn bring me around the club looking for him. i think i suck tons at drinking now. i should just kill myself. i dunno how many times i actually puked and i think i did it EVERYWHERE. yes i should go die now.

ok the plan was we were supposed to go to sentosa to enjoy our day off (jon was on break too, for a week.) but on Thursday, we were so like, going to die, we stay at home the whole day and watched Hawaii Five-O, which i must add, is a DAMNNNNNNN SHIOOOOKKKKKK SHOWWWWW. the entire show made me wanna like join the special force or sthg amazing like that. We had damn shiok bak kut teh for lunch at brinjai. i couldn't walk cos i had the MOST MAJOR headache. i think everyone who has seen me hobbling ard knows i had a super hangover. Friday we went to Sentosa. WAH the sun damn hot, i got super burnt. and i ate so much. i think i put on all the weight i tried to lose in the last 2 weeks or so and more. We were at Azzurra. nice place. jon's first time. :) it was a superb experience. i love my weekend and my break.

That being said, all of that, we went to Hup Choon Seafood for dinner again, and we walked home, laughing and cheering and disturbing the neighbourhood all. and the poor guy guarding the possibly minister's house must be wanting to throw the walkie talkie he has at me. we went to play with the monkey bars and this and that and run around. i wished the weekend can last FOREVER. i love my bf. he is the best. i love everything about that silly fella.

now i am back home, a lil melancholy. hoping the weekend is still here. and hoping i have more time with the boy. i miss him already and he is in camp. i think i better log off and go sleep. :) nitez!

Busy zooming week!

This week I have been really busy! Omg! There is some garment assessment going on in our school that I have to take charge of together with my art directors. So time consuming! But I really wanna thank them for their help cos I know usually the admin works on this and they're really being too kind, so Tze Wei, Kingston, this is my thanks to you. :)

We have a new colleague who just started work on the first, her name is Fai and she will be with us for about 3 months? Yes, then she'll be heading off to UK to further her studies. She's thai and she's pretty.

Recently I'm having problems with my energy level and problems sleeping so I think  I might go on a juice detox diet. Ok, ok, it's not exactly a diet but I feel I might just eat more fruits and vegetables, soups and much less processed stuff.  I think it will be pretty easy to manage on days when I am at work n much more tough during weekends or when I'm with Jon. But I'll try nonetheless! I wanna detox enough to look nice in a swim suit come the 23 & 24 June. I'll be taking my annual leave n I wanna hang out with Jon at the beach. At Auzzura maybe! With beers! :) I can't wait!

My school is holding a graduation show for the seniors who are graduating on the 10 & 11 June. Do check us out! More details can be found on our school website: www.fzdschool.com :D

Ok I think I'll go on to bed now! Catch up soon!

jon's love for me :)

he told me, this is for you. It's a little sad, but I supposed that's the point. :)

Avenged Sevenfold - Dear God

IT'S SUNDAY!

Today was fun! I went to Watsons and bought myself this pearlie white tooth paste. I want whiter teeth! And a.. whatdoyoucallit, a digital weighing machine. More accurate ma! And i realised I lost weight. The last time i had a weigh in at the doctors like 2 weeks ago, I was like 1 kg more than now. This is not so bad la, I wanna be slimmer. SOOOO FAT -- for what! HAHA! Take up space only! HAHA.

Oh and I bought Koi. Green tea honey with Pearls. I bought for jon too. He loves it! Apparently (or so he says), he has never drank Koi before. I mean like seriously! Which planet are you from man, boyfriend! Never drink Koi before? Hee hee! We met for some shopping and get together time in Ion. And... I BOUGHT A NEW BAG! this makes going to work a little better! haha! CAN bring NEW bag to WORK! WOO!

Sadly, our fun day kinda ended there cause I had to go to work at moi papa shop! No choice! Since my dad dad needs help, I will go help him. When I was there, my boyfriend msn me, WHERE IS MY PHONE CHARGER? -_-" boys! :) Ok la, nonetheless, jon is really a very nice bf. I know he tries to give in to me as much as possible. THANKS baby! Oh yes, I tried to help him 'FIND' his phone, online. Tell him places to search etc. After which, he found it in the spare room. We both think the maid took it to charge her phone and forgot to put it back thereafter.

Aunty Annie was at work today too. She introed me to watch this HK drama, Only You. Quite nice! I am a sucker for HK dramas. Keeps me addicted. Very addicted. :p We had char kway teow and hokkien mee for dinner. Not so delicious the Whampoa hokkien mee today. Taste very bland. Sianness. So I worked. Then I left at about 10pm. Papa gave me a lift home.

I went home and showered. And watched CSI. :) nice. CSI marathon. I just spoke to my baby on the phone. He just booked in his new unit. Now i am gg to SLEEP. :) Niteee!!

fast forward.

Seems like everything is moving forward and along side super quickly all of a sudden. At first, it was just me trying very hard to like, run the school, i was busy like everyday. Then when my colleagues and boss were back from Taiwan, we were all just really busy trying to prepare all the relevant documents for a government's audit and then, wooshh, it's over. just like that. i hope we fared well. i mean after all the hard work we've done, making sure all the files are in place and everything is crystal clear all, please don't tell me we won't be getting the 4 year pass. i will be like super duper upset. And i think all my pretty colleagues and bosses will be too. and then suddenly, again, it's the weekend.

time really flies. i know i know, i know i have used this phase a lot and very often, but i totally really think so! earlier this week jon was still having and enjoying massively, his one week break from being a trainee, to his move to a (more permanent - we hope) unit. He started the week really happy and ended the week, like a bit stressed and sad, depressed. i know it is not easy to be posted to one camp, fit in, start making tons of friends, start liking and bonding with everyone and then have be to separated and start afresh in another. However, i supposed, this is all part and parcel of army life (actually all LIFE is somewhat similar), so he just really have to serve and f* off. All the best my darling! :)) U can do it! JIAYOU!

On Thursday, after spending darn lot of time in the office, sorting out documents, at 8pm, i finally could leave and meet brother bob at nandos for chicken.  i ate sooo much chicken. half of it. as in, half a chicken, and rice and grilled veggies. i think i ate the same amount of food brother bob ate! and perhaps even more, cos i ate more rice! it's scary!

Friday, it was our gahment audit. The whole day, we were super jumpy. The tension in the office was so like, thick, u could cut it open with a butter knife and spread it on toast for lunch. SCARY! After all the big hoo-haa, the gahment people left at 5pm. We continued life as normal. SY very kindly gave me a lift to sommerset to meet jon and bobby. we were to go to 360 bar at Mandarin Gallery. The place is not bad, quite nice, but the service is really, thumbs down. I won't go back again. Never, NA-DAHHH. I won't go back and spend decent cash on drinks there. After which, my poor bf was so tired, we took a cab home and slept almost instantaneously.

Saturday!! WOO HOOO!! We had breakfast at Macdonalds, shopped at Cold Storage, went to Bukit Timah plaza, bought a delicious watermelon freeze thingy, went home, napped and stuff and did our thang. Late at night we went to watch Pirates of the Caribbean with Tye Wei, Leroi, Hanjie and Raymond. We first had dinner at Carls Jr. Oh and we saw Claudia and Daphne! :) Claudia recognised jon first. NOT ME! wah lau. Pirates was realllyyyy nice!! I totally ENJOYED the show! like major! I think i might wanna watch it again! :) Anyway, after that we all went for Starbucks at Cathay. Nice. I shared a hot chocolate with my darling. After which I went home, jon went to watch soccer with his neighbours. THENNNNNNN...

... It's SUNDAY. Sometimes i feel that Sunday is kinda sad. It just means the next day is Monday and have to jiayou at work again! Wanna know what I did on Sunday? Read the next POST! :)

happy birthday to me!

Woah I realised I haven been writing because I have been really busy at work!! So much documentations and people to talk to, logistics to handle and this and that. Really stressing me out! But I must say, the buzz really kept me going. :) Time flies by when you are busy handling all your work, yes? :) 

And before I digress further, TADA!! yesterday I celebrated my 28th Birthday!! WOO HOOO!! Jill you are soooo old man. One day you'll be as wrinkled as a prune. Nobody can tell you and a grandmother apart! Heh heh!

Firstly, I would like to thank all that celebrated this day with me, my family, my jie meis (sabby and gang), my brother bobby, my sweet love Karene, my darling jon and everyone in the office! my colleagues are awesome! i love everyone of them! :) oh yes, and my bosses. Really! I don't care how many (crappy) edutrust forms I have to do, I love my company. :) Oh yes, and my students too! they are soooo awesome! Thank you!

My students bought me some sweets, one of those skeletal-hanging-hp-strap from Cheers, a box of po chai pills and made me a birthday card! Why po chai pills? Cos every morning I complain to them that I got tummy ache. heeheheeehee!!

Bobby ordered some flowers for me! It came with a box of chocolates, a box with a necklace, and floaty Happy Birthday balloons! SO AWESOME! Lanmay bought me a box of donuts. I must really try to finish it by tomorrow, if not, it's gonna go bad. My sweet love gave me a small pouch that I can use for coins and office keys! Very useful! And a very cute pink lip balm from etude house. :)

LAST BUT NOT LEAST! I am so happy with the gift JON gave me!! OMG! He bought me the necklace and ear ring set from Swarovski! I had my eye on it like forever! My darling is the best! and he brought me to a super nice place for dinner! Fish Market Bistro at Greenwood Ave. The food was awesome! I love my threadfin and the greens they serve with it. Jon really surprised me. :) thank you dearest, love yaaaa.. oh yes, Jon's mum bought me a dress from mphosis. Pretty! :)

Thank you everyone!! :) many love!

with you

awesome dinner with the boy - delayed

~ WOAH i found this entry in the draft section, just noticed that it wasn't published. so long ago la! ~

wah i totally overate for dinner man! i met jon at brinjai park after work and we had zi char for dinner. :)



we ordered butter squid, hot and spicy soup (both his fave) and my VERY ULTIMATE ULTRA LOVE: COFFEE PORK RIBS! i love coffee pork ribs, not because it taste like coffee, but it's somewhat crispy, coated with a slightly thick sweet black sauce! the coffee pork ribs the zi char store at brinjai park serve is exceptionally delicious (at least according to me, because i love coffee, the love for it extend to my main meals), much different from the other stores i've tried before. other stores are not as awesome as theirs!



BUT (! - there is always a but right, haha) we always have to wait VERY long to be served! usual waiting time is about 30 to 40 mins! :( On some days like today, i wait until i sooooo hungry already, keep seeing people around me being served first! SO SAD! i like glutton like that keep eyeing their food and like keep complaining to jon. whine and whine, where is my food! i'm STARVING! haha.


i still love to eat dinner there despite the waiting time cos they serve awesome fare. worth it to wait a lil longer, esp on lazy dinner days like these. today we had the liberty of eating slowly and enjoyed our time together (unlike usual Sunday nights where we have to rush dinner so jon can go back camp on time). that being said, i really enjoy chatting with friends and loved ones over meals. i find chatting (and eating) stress busting! haha!



after dinner, we took a slow walk back home, relaxed a lil and talked about our future (more like daydream about nonsense) then i took a bus home. no rush, just took my own sweet time. it was really relaxing. :)



i long to have more nights like this.

birthday celebration w the girls! :) -- pics

The scenery from 1 Altitude! SO PRETTY!

My best friend Sabby. She knows everything that goes on in my pretty little head. Amazing shit.

 

The butterfly prawns are soooo delicious!

Me. Trying to act 'not shy' from all the attention. :D

We are at Cyclone. Listening to the small white-haired uncle singing SUKIYAKI.

I like this Pic of me and Jon. :)

LAST BUT NOT LEAST! My bunch of VERY IMPORTANT FRIENDS! FULL HOUSE!

happy early birthday to me!

ytd was GREAT!

my gfs arranged to meet me and jon at 1 altitude and we went to celebrate my birthday tgt!! :) WEE!! actually this is almost the first time i get to like really celebrate my birthday after all these while. i am already 28. birthdays celebrations are like a thing of the past. not so much into it already.

and seriously speaking, i dun really like to plan for such things. ask Sabby. she almost had to co-ordinate all our meet-ups for the last couple of years. think 7 girls, from all walks of life, each doing different things (claudia is a financial advisor-cum-chicken chop seller, viviann now not working, evie gonna start school, anthea in sales, mel a mother of one and sabby holds some really senior post in the beauty and hair care industry and of cos me, in the private education sector) really makes arranging for meet-ups quite a massive task! but thank God we all managed to make it ytd! omg! we had so much fun! and this is also the first time jon met the girls. he is of cos the 'xiao didi' and all of us, big sisters. :) 

our first stop, One Altitude at UOB Building. we took the lift to the 65th floor maybe? WOW the view at the top was amazing!! pity it was really crowded ytd and we couldn't get a table but i supposed if we could come on another weekday it should be very quiet and nice! a lot of photo taking opportunities! but we left for Hooters shortly :D at some point, sabby panicked cos she thought we left jon at the top when we all got into the lift. haha so at the end of the night, Sabby has a god-son. haha. jon, a god-ma. So FUNNY! 


oh at Hooters we had SOOOO much to eat! the girls ordered chicken wings, onion rings, prawns, oysters, curly fries, and beers, root beer floats, coke! and the Hooter girls even sang me a birthday song!! so cute! jon was sleepy some point in the night but i think he enjoyed himself to! i am very happy. after Hooters, we went to Boat Quay. Some of us were not so used to the sleazy Boat Quay place so we only went to the pub (called Cyclone?) for a couple of minutes then we left for home. ALL TIRED and SPENT! 


I really wanna thank the girls for this amazing birthday meal and time spent tgt! WOOO HOOOO!! let's have more of this! :)


-- i'll try to post some pics in the next post! :P 

hardROCK CAFE!

woohoooo!! i realised most of my post are about food! haha!

Today, it seemed all i've done is eat. milk and bread for breakfast, mee siam, stewed pig trotters in vinegar (so soooo duper yummy!), chicken wings, all cooked by jon's mum, his cousins brought cupcakes, fruit tarts, bread and butter pudding. what a spread! everything was delicious! i knew i cannot eat so much so i really controlled my food intake la. if i really wanna gorge, i would have taken like, 2 or 3 helpings of everything. haha. instead, i only had a tiny morsel of each and every tasty item! :*(

in the late afternoon we met his friends, the same bunch of guys less the girls, for a movie: Leroy, TW, HJ and Truman. we watched 'the priest'. i thought the show was quite... nice. as in the fighting scenes and all, not so bad, but the story line is somewhat odd and a bit confusing.

We went for dinner at Hardrock Cafe! CAN U BELIEVE it, it's my FIRST time at Hardrock man! HAHAHA! The potions are soooo huge there! omg! i only had like 1/3 of my salad! AND i was soooo full by then! we sat and talk for a long while at hardrock cos the boys don't have to work tmr but me and jon have to. We left at about 945 and jon gave me a lift home.

i am not like, terribly missing jon and parting with him for the night and not that bad, it's just that i don't like the fact that, i have to be alone and face work tmr. :( not that work is bad, cos i actually do love my colleagues, bosses, my job and generally everything there, it's just that, i wished for Sunday to be MUCH MUCH LONGER! if i were to spend the night at his place, i wouldn't feel this, crappy, because with him, it always seems like the weekend! :) having said that, i chose to come home and spend some time with my FOX and AXN. haha!

WELL, MONDAY BLUES STARTS ON SUNDAY NIGHT!

Prawning!

i joined jon and his cute friends from poly for prawning last night! it was such a wonderful experience. i hardly do such... 'not so clean' activities. haha. we went to this prawning farm (do you call it prawning farm even?) at Bishan (601 Sin Ming Ave) and the place SURE was CROWDED! there were like 8 of us and there weren't any visible space for such a big group but we very thickskinly squeezed ourselves at some side of the pond area, beside this damn skillful uncle (ok TW calls him Ah Pek). we dragged a lot of chairs to our side and some how or rather blocked up the walk away a bit but do we reallly care? not, so much. haha. Then! we started catching our prawnssss!

we had 2 rods and shared amongst each other. MAN it was FUN! but since it was so crowded our line keeps getting tangled with other people's bait and hooks and such. at first we only caught like, 4 (like really slowly) and watched the damn skillful uncle catching the prawns like every other minute! so demoralised! when we catch like one, we were all like, YAY! SO BIG or YAY! SO CUTE! but the uncle sitting beside us have like no feeling like that. he had lke 2 rods and some other special bait. season one this uncle. respect.

anyways, i think i caught a total of 4 prawns? jon caught like 5 or 6? huiting caught like 3 or 4 too, cos she only prawned for awhile. not bad for a first timer! I think HJ caught like, 4? :) the rest of the catch, credits goes to TW. he is the pro-master! At the end of 3 hours, with total catch count at 41, we went to skewer our prawn with satay sticks then BBQ them at the pits provided. Oh yea, and we sprinkled the prawns with salt! So YUMMY. i had like, 3 prawns? there were like 6 of us at the end so i supposed everyone had about the same number. :)

but i must say, i am quite grossed out by the condition of the place. not that there is ANYTHING wrong with the place, it is a prawn pond/farm la. of cos it will be wet and dirty. but i a bit cannot stand it. i know it is just me, and my hygiene problems, nothing pretty much to do with the place. everyone seems to be enjoying themselves! haha. Leroy very kindly gave most of us a lift home and the first thing we did was to BATHE! i used like damn alot of dettol body wash sia! so freaked out about the dirtiness of the place! haha!

next time i must prawn again! and catch more PRAWNS!

I love facials!

After work yesterday I went for my facial at bliss spa. I always go for the 'Youth-as-we-know-it' package deal. Heh heh! Cos I old already ma. Like seriously! Later this May, in fact, in abt 10 days' time, I'm gonna be like, 28 years old ey! Wah lau can die! How sia? I'm always paranoid abt my age n wrinkles on my face n looking old because, sadly, my dear bf is only like 21. He will only be 22 like at the end of the year. -_-"

Anyways, I digress, my facial at Bliss. I love going for facial n having my facial done by Shareen. Oh she is a very interesting n bubbly individual n she can keep me company n we can talk abt anything at all for that 1.5hrs that I'm lying on the warm facial bed. Even though it may seem like nothing, but this ability to be able to communicate n voice out, but I really find, being able to put into words, the things u are thinking of, ur inner most secrets, to be able to tell an almost-stranger really amazing.

She let me in on her family problems, her own personal problems, her general views on the country politics, and everything almost. Her son, his day at school, her friends, her eating habits. Everything, spilled out to me for the last 90mins. I hope I was able to be her listening ear. :) n that she might find some solace in talking. :)

After my damn shiok massage n facial, feeling completely barefaced n balmy n oily n sticky, I took a bus to jon's place n we had macs for dinner! Did I say the hot n spicy nuggets are like, damn awesome maxed out? Sooooo hot n yet sooooo delicious? I had like 5 of those n collapsed in jon's Gordan. Wonderful bliss! :D

early birthday card!

so pretty!! :) 

Church Choir!

Jamming good times!

At church now, watching my friends Ben, Vince n people practice the songs they would like to sing for guest Sunday that will be happening in less than 15 weeks! Yikes!!

Eueu n I sang "Here and Now" in parts. It was quite fun! I think I am gg to be really nervous when the day comes! *tremble!!* haha!

I am testing out this new app Eueu introed me to write my blog. So let's see how it goes! :)

ME!

Always into piercings!

See the straight hair! :X don't like it much.

Haha! Orange for TEETH!

FOCUSED and feeling great!

wow i must say i am really focused today at work and i am glad that i've decided to take half the day off yesterday to get well. today i am doubly as productive. beats feeling down and out for 2 days right!? :)

i've decided to skip heading out for lunch with the girls as the weather outside is really hot and i can SOMEWHAT feel a headache coming on. hmmm, i asked SY to buy some honey glazed chicken for me. Heehee!! SO MUCH FOR MY DIET!

well gotta head back to work now. and hope the girls have a wonderful lunch! :)

A starbucks a day chases the blues away!

I stayed over at jon's place last night. :) please to say all irritation has been resolved. Yes I know at many times I get really anal about many things! Yes I am a control freak n I know it la! So sorry ok, to people I sometimes push my way or force to get things out! From today on I will try (try la) to be more understanding n patient to people who are more relac in life. Hahaha!

Anyway that being said, usually if I stay over at jon's place, I usually turn up damn early at work lor because he leaves the home at 730am n I will naturally leave with him. :D so I will park myself at Starbucks plaza singapore for my fave cafe americano grande before hobbling my fat ass to work at say about 855am? Actually I feel it's quite shiok la, this, about 25 mins or so of 'me' time, just drinking coffee, listening to radio or some gospel music n thinking about my work for the day. Good preparation la n I can pray too, talk to God! :)

Okay la I need to walk Liao, tummyache a bit too (must be the coffee) haha! Talk later!! :D

sometimes i don't understand why there is no sense of urgency. it's already so late. and i am so tired and yet i am still waiting for you to call me, to come and find me. every time you just take things for granted. i hope one day i will disappear from you. don't come around for me later.

sometimes i feel that some friends take better care and notice of me than you.

my bacon and cheese :)

jon's Valentine's Day present to me!! :) TWO LIVES!
Meet Bacon, my girl :)

And Cheese, my boy. :) - FATSO like anything!

hair woes

ok. since i am like, free today, because i am on medical leave, i think i might just update more stuff. :)

i have problems with my hair. my hair's like really dry and rough and scratchy all. seriously, i kinda like it this way. having, slightly damaged (ok, it is a lot more than slightly) hair kinda gives my hair more.. volume. i am a victim of really limp and fine, flat hair. so anything that can make my hair more va-va-voommm kinda makes me really happy.

i envious girls with naturally wavy hair, hair that is wavy and like, cascading down their backs. even if the hair's damage and dry, is quite nice too right? haha. well i know people with naturally wavy hair or big hair will not agree with me! my pretty boss, who has naturally slightly wavy and poofy hair (she recently got it straightened again) dislikes her wavy hair. but i will KILL to have some volume and some... curls in my hair!

it would be easy if i can get it permed but sad to say, my hair, is weak. and it does not hold curls well. i've gotten it permed before. day one, it's pretty and nice and two days later, it's straight, flat out and ULTRA damaged from all the perming chemicals. so sad! so i supposed i have to be contented with straight hair. :(

i think i might just get hair extensions (again) and this time, i will extend with curly hair! :) i go to angel xin at chinatown point to get my hair extensions. very time consuming but the outcome is very pretty. :)

here it is: www.angelxin.com check it out!! i do my eye lash extension there too!!

desserts!

We went to Canele on Saturday. Yummers!! 

my fave macaroons! i love them even though my girl pals all say they're too sweet! but they're perfect with peppermint tea!! :)  

Jon, drinking my peppermint tea. Muahaha. THIEF!
