MORE PRESSIES

Xmas, the season i love. To receive, share and give. Surprises, lotsa food, carols, jingles & wishes. Keep those pressies coming. *evil grins

the bad day

The whole of last week was absolute gloomy, dull and moody.I was stuck in whether to go to my boss house anot. And that is so not me. If i dont wanna go somewhere, i would say ‘No!’ or give some excuse straight away. But this matter seem to be bothering me.Only Monday was good as i went for my 2 hours combat.

Thats it.
So on that day, i actually went and it was suppose to be POTLUCK.
So happily, i went down to Da Paolo to get their pizzas. I dun wanna get Pizza Hut as i wanted something special. and they were huge and delightful.
One major issue is that, there are too many food, especially the huge ham fromgoodwood park- order by one of the director. and nice-c mash potatos, pomelosalad, XO dumplings, foudue, crystal jade treats, durian puffs- from goodwood park,and dozen more.

But no one ate pizza.
except me and someone.
it wasnt really my fault..so in order to ‘Reuse’, they brought it to office the otherday for lunch. i was on half day, hopefully they did ate them.
and do u know what i enjoy the best that night?
the star awards show. i simply got to block out the rest and watch my TV.

another trip to ann siang

i explore the much re-vamped asylum. they have a lot of design icons around this time to align with the design festival.
the first time i stepped in style:nordic. scandinavian designs. clean cut and designers paradise.
the upper floor. this time was filled with design furnitures that are award-winning.

Front row. Tempted for their cup-cakes. But only spot dean and deluca candies. and their designer apparel were on sale. woods and woods..blah blah blah.. but unfriendly staff.

ann siang hill- the hill where surprises u with some therapy and nice gourmet. (da paolo was there, seven on club, jerry's..) and also (wild child, venue, vanilla home...)

retail therapy

Last week i went to Haji lane for some serious retail therapy.
In search for something quirky and out-of-the world.

Despite having my ulcers, i was still hugging onto my triple chocolatecrunch from Marks and Spencer. i boarded the bus and i was all the way munching onto my cereals. the crunchy oats and dark chocolate really get me going.

I decide to stop the thrill.
i went straight into the lane and pass by some shops which were not my kind. seriously look at every stairway that might be a good hunt for me.
I went in collage. Just to see what stuff have they been stocking up.
This time the ppl in there were quite friendly. and immediately this nice cutting- tulip dress caught my eye.
They have it in white and red.
i try on the red and it fits in size M. i thought i might have to go for a L instead.
But they insist that i shouldn’t be wearing too loose. sloppy! i was still pondering.. just then, they took out theturqoiuse color. NIce..!
i try that on as well. and happily looked at the price.
$89. still affordable, but in haji lane like not very worth it hor?
but was told that it was their house collection.
ask them for opinions. in the end i opt for the tur. and demand for discounts. but since they said that it was their new product, i shall not insist.
next, i went up to soon lee.
they have nice edgy tops and dresses which are quite oddy-cut.
i always like their designs, the shopping experience, and nice things to look at.I tried on a straight-cut top/dress.
Can be wore in both styles. but apparently i find the cutting weird.so i left there with nothing.
And also to some shops, the assistants were quite quiet. maybe it near dinner time.

Salad is not bad as well. nice household and apparel.
Then there was also ducti-fly, pluck, 3, flowers and plants...and i notice that most of the shops
there adopt/own cats.

Meow..

i left the pace feeling satisfied. Even thou with only 1 buy, i get myself update on their styles and trend.

Haji lane. i see you soon.

its a race of motivation, endurance and fulfillment

Yipee!

I have raced myself to complete the 10km women's standard chartered run. It's my first attempt and i am quite satisfied myself.
5.30am- wow! woke up with excitement. did a bit of dilly dally stuff and was too excited to talk
6.10am- hopped onto bus 133 and me and my sister was on the way to meet yihui and belinda at city hall mrt
6.40am- once we alighted at the bus stop. many look-alikes were found. all dressed up in the classic marathon tops. like one big family. hah!
6.45am- meet yihui and belinda. kindly put on our tags, adjust our timer at the shoe-laces. was told that if we lost it, got to paid like $50? crazy man!
7.00-7.20am- was going round and round for the baggage deposit area
7.25am- we head for a light breakie and some water to hydrate ourselves
7.50am- we were already lining up for the race. you can imagine the people. But the atmosphere was truly fun and motivating!
8.00am- we are still walking towards the START point as there are a lot of people there, we could not even start to run. Its running at the start point then westarted of jogging. I had my friend, Yihui with me all along. we are quite constant with our speed and it feels great to run with so many people as well!
Fabulous!

The run started and we din stop till like 7km and we stop for a drink.
the location at that time was- Marina South. The place where the Superbowl is or where people usually have their steam-boat and food.
I never imagine myself being able to run that far.
Gosh...
And the rest of the road back was inspirating as well. We did stop for drinks at certain points especially for 100 plus cos all the previous stations were serving mineral water only!!
and at last we reached the 100plus station and guess what? Diluted 100plus.
Just as i threw away my cup and starting running again.
Me and my friend overheard: “ Ee.. Diluted one!’ and we both laughed.
The last 1km was great. Lotsa cheers, noisy shout outs and man i completed in 1hr 30mins. I think the results was satisfing as i am not a frequent runner.
i love it and we collected our medal later and head to a delicious bon-appetite breakfast.


see you next year, standard charter.10km women;s run!
