For the first time, I went to the IT roadshow as a patron and not a salesperson. That’s coz I avoid going to such a crowded place if I’m not working there.. I know how noisy the place is, how squeezy and sometimes getting to the ladies require half an hour to move through the buzzing crowd. The last time I worked there, if i’m not wrong was 2 years ago. When I saw how the salesperson from each booth enthusiastically go towards you to serve you, it reminds me of those days when I just grab anyone, trying to gauge who seems to close a deal for me with higher potential.. commission issues, camera usage issues, free-gifts issues, attitude issues, etc..

I ALMOST got myself a panasonic camera which really seems pretty good. But coz Sis made me so pissed that we have to step out of the Halls and in the end I decided I should not buy on temptation, impulse..and shall spend the money on somewhere else!

Dinner on friday night plus with sis is especially troublesome. She wanna avoid queues, wanna avoid places that serves lotsa meat, of average range in terms of price, dont wan pasta, dont want ramen…ZZZz. Hence we walked all the way from Marina Square to Millenia walk when she finally semi-reluctantly agreed to Mushroom POt…which I haven been there before too.

The sisters

Indeed, MUSHROOMS.

Apparently the places serves steamboat and ala-carte as well. I had the Sweet and Sour Monkey Head Mushroom and yes…it’s all MUshrooms…rather than what I thought…(Sweet & Sour Pork).. It was nice but given that there are so many mushrooms, in the soup as well…can get quite sick of it.

Sis’s Pork Ribs of course cant be made of mushrooms. hahas. So instead of the VEG salad that I have, hers was a mushroom-based, which tasted pretty nice…tasted kinda japanese. And the Soft-shell crab look alike dish with wasabe mayo was ALSO mushrooms.

Indeed, MUSHROOM POT.

14 June 08-Saturday, CAC Dry-Run

After days and days of considering whether to go for the dry-run or not, I dragged myself out of the bed at my usual time that I woke up for work only to see a gloomy sky. I could have have a wonderful sleep at home.

Disappointment beckons the moment Jeff, Qiuhan and I reached Palawan Beach. Instead of a large group of people whom we expect to see, we saw only a small group of about 10 people. Sad to say, we were the only 3 councilors out of the five in total. It certainly brings about the thought of ‘ I shouldnt have come ‘

While many of the games seem familiar to last-year’s one..SOME of the games are still quite fun.

And I almost didnt remember the wonderful memories up in that little hut months ago until I saw that again. Miss it, despite the sucky humid weather..

Fluffy CLOuds

Dry-Run in action

After the dry-run, the few of us began to buy with our own beach volleyball w an ultra light ball…I wonder is it coz of that that I’m having the aches on the hand. If not, what else?

Lunch

Guys just keep getting hungry yea? Jeff just had breakfast at around 10am yet at 1pm…he’s feeling the hunger. While Jeff and I were rushing for some other places after that, we gotto have a semi-quick lunch. Jeff’s hot and spicy noodles, my sweet corn soup and qiuhan’s fried rice.

Meeting with ‘!!!’

We began our shopping all the way from Far East Plaza, to Tangs, to Wisma, Taka. All of us had something to buy in mind! I wanna get jogging shoes, bags, clothes, dance shoes, flats and many more! While the less greedy goey wanna get a pair of high heels…and sis wanna get the korean-style clothes.

Unlike the past when I have frequent trainings..nowadays I cant shop for ONE WHOLE day…partly due to my back too. I cant walk too long as I cant stand properly after walking too long a time. BADBADBAD.

CHORE

Dinner on a Saturday night is an insane chore. Imagine long queues everywhere and in the end, we spent like 2hours for dinner including finding and queuing. From our carve of soupy stuff, we had limited choice and so we gave in to Fish & Co, which is of TOTAL opposite..

LOVE this ‘!!!’.hahas

And this is the winner of the night, in my view. They had to act more than once before i took it sucessfully coz I just couldnt stop laughing….

And I got myself a bag and a Yellow sandals..wow! Goey got her heels which im so in love with too….but no, too many heels recently. hahas.REfrain!

While sis, got herself a green scarf…and a ultimate comfortable white flats.

17 June 08- Much of a Rest day

Despite being my only rest day for the week..or rather my sleep-in day..I have to wake up early to see the Doc for my back since he closes at 1pm.

The rubs and the crackings were bad. It’s was so painful that I started yelling..as he rubbed from the lower back to the butt and the sides of the hips..(which was the worst!).. And then he pulled my legs up and cracked it and said…the bone kinda went off the position…arghs.

After which he used the cup-like thing to suck onto the back and it HURTS like HELL when he moved it across the hips and butts…terrible pain. imagine…when I dont usually yell bout pains..

And now… I’m left with circles of blue blacks on my back and butt…still hurts though..but i think its the blue-black pain, well hopefully.

I’m advised to swim more, at least twice a week..(once is fine..twice may be a lil hard)so that the back can be stronger and to balance the position of the bones. No Cold drinks. Better not to jog (nono, dont think i can really do that) and i’m on some weird medication now..stretch more…

Thank you Dad who brought me to the doc..
I got my nike jogging shoes..
And once in a while thing, Dad said he’ll pay for my expensive doc fees, and my relatively cheap jogging shoes!

Back home, I web-cam-ed with Jer..!! Woo…I almost gave up waiting after sitting before the lappie for 2 hours..thinking he has probably went to bed…BUt just as I brought my laptop to be put on the floor beside my bed ( I haven give up totally…just hoping that in case he logins and i can still hear the alert in my nap) And just as I was gonna close my laptop’s LCD, an alert came and he came online!

Chatted w him for like 1.5hrs and got my updates on the cheeky!!

Xiang said..I must be smiling like an idiot ..hees. Well..yea, yes, yuppss. ;p

 

Love you the most!
its difficult to be obsessive and non-sticky, but i am. ;p
