Its movie session again this Sat..



"Twilight" is an action-packed, modern day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother remarries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she's ever met. Intelligent and witty, he sees straight into her soul. Soon, Bella and Edward are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance. Edward can run faster than a mountain lion, he can stop a moving car with his bare hands and he hasn't aged since 1918.

Like all vampires, he's immortal. But he doesn't have fangs, and he doesn't drink human blood; Edward and his family are unique among vampires in their lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for her? Based on the Stephenie Meyer book. (extraxted from www.gv.com.sg)


Its pretty good (I guess all girls do wish to have someone like Edward loving her dearly) for me.. Its a different type of love story.. as the author depicts, this story is about life, not death and love not lust.. Edward's love for bella is indeed different from the love of humans because he's a vampire.. the cool thing I guess is that she's able to run off really fast & to climb up really high with aid of him.. terrifying thing is that you may ended up as a meal.. The vampires in this show is unlike the others we seen in "Kuang Tian You" type of story.. they dont have fangs & they shine like jewel under sunlight.. Its funny how he had to repeat his high school many times & having so many mortar boards display on the wall because of his immortality.. The vampires are really pale in the show except their really red lips.. but in real life, James Pattison isnt that fair.. he's pretty charming too... Haa..

realised that there are 4 series.. oh mine... It might take 4 years to complete the show if production is anually.. I do look forward to the sequel of it.. & looking forward to Will Smith new movie.. but in the meantime, I might get the book to appease my curiosity.. we chatted until 1am before heading back home..

Early rise for run today.. am dead tired now.. Looking forward to x'mas.. my holi!!!

Its remote working tml!! My first ever.. probably the last too?? office is under renov tml & we'll have a new furnished office.. Hope to have more storage as files are piling up on my table.. May I clear my work fast & early tml which will give me some time to slack around at home (secretly).. It's my first time working together with my MD, discussing a case together.. a total different experience.. hopefully I did understand what he wants & give him the report tml with smile on his face.. & of course to ease N's job when he's back.. as he said, hope I'll clear the case for him when he's back.. May I have the capacity to do that.. praying hard...

Over-indulgence today which leaves my pocket a big big hole.. was telling xm I seriously need to finish up my x'mas shopping but I ended up pampering myself.. went for pedicure & my legs just brought me to the doorstep of Gucci after I'm done.. I bought my first ever branded purse.. Yeah!! they didnt have a new piece for the model I wanted & I had to walk to taka to get it but happy to have it.. I'll have to settle for cheap hawker food for the next month.. broke gal for this mth..

I worked my ass off for the last 2 weeks but now I'm too free... haiz.. my work schedule is so unpredictable and irregular.. It somehow added stress on me as all my time needs to be accounted for.. guess my billable hours is gonna be pathetic for the next 2 weeks.. haiz... Fri gonna be remote working but wonder what can I do when there's nothing for me to do..

Last thurs was our co.'s x'mas get together.. we spend the evening at liliputt (http://www.lilliputt.com/) where we played indoor golf.. The scenery of the golf course was set at the different tourist attractions of Singapore.. It was really fun but my first attempt wasnt that fantastic so hope I'll improve my scores the next time.. we were put in 2 groups and I joined my MD.. heez.. he's a pro at it which would give us a better chance at winning the group chllenge.. Haa.. clever me, right?? he gave us pointers along the way which is helpful but given my strength, I always had difficulties at the first shot.. but I do have good shots too!! our team was filled with laughter as we kept laughing along the way.. we won at the end of the game.. yeppie!!

dinner was at an Italian resturant, Ristorante Da Valentino.. This resturant is highly recommended, even LYK was there to dine once.. Its always crowded and fully booked so do make your bookings 3 days earlier.. The food was great with lots of wine & chatters.. love my main course which is on their special list.. its my first time sitting opposite my MD but I did talk to him.. luckily N was beside me, if not, I'll not be talking too much.. the dinner ended with a shooter.. It was a pretty strong liquor.. luckily I didnt end up vomitting with all the different wines & liquor in my stomach.. the next day, we received a x'mas hamper from MD.. guess my mum is the happiest as there's 2 wines inside..

Its gathering on Fri for the four of us, yve, yan, jas & me.. finally!! Haa.. but again, my work wont allow me to go off early as last min work just flood in & I'm pressing for time as everyone needed their stuffs fast.. Haiz.. but we did meet up in the end & photoshots after dinner.. we had lots of crazy photos taken & lots of laughter taking each of them.. as jas forgotten her housekeys, the 3 of us settled down at chjimes for drinks.. its a long long long walk.... esp when I'm on heels.. but its a nice catch up from the time we last met..

met xm on sat for x'mas shopping but I ended up buying working pants as nothing catches my eyes.. hope the shipment for my x'mas gifts purchase will arrive soon so I wont have to do x'mas shopping to replace.. we walked to all the mng stores to look for xm's jeans but too bad, none fits her.. wanted to go to LV & gucci but she isnt interested so I forgo it.. will shop there myself over the weekdays..

Sun, we met again but this time round with wj & j as well.. movie session after ikea outing with xm..



"The Day the Earth Stood Still" is 20th Century Fox's contemporary reinvention of its 1951 classic. Keanu Reeves portrays Klaatu, an alien whose arrival on our planet triggers a global upheaval. As governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind the visitor's appearance, a woman (Jennifer Connelly) and her young stepson get caught up in his mission and come to understand the ramifications of his being a self-described "friend to the Earth." (extracted from gv.com.sg)

Wonder if the world is coming to an end.. seems like most movies nowadays depicts humans destroying the earth.. but no doubt that humans do bear responsibilities to the problems faced by the earth like thinning of ozone layer, accumulation of rubbish, etc.. its funny to see two Aliens talking in McDonald in Chinese when both knows how to speak in English.. Keanu is indeed charming in the movie but some scenes are so unrealistic and the beginning of the storyline made me so confused.. wouldnt be a movie that I would recommend unless you are a diehard fan of Keanu..

Hope this week will be good with work coming in and I'll get my bedframe soon as all I have seen are for single bed & mine is in the mid of queen and super single.. haiz.. most importantly, huge bonus.. possible?? Haa..

Its been a long time since I last blog.. It has been a hectic month with schedule packed to the brim..

Attempted my first shot at CIMA.. not sure if I'll pass but I tried all I could.. can only crossed my finger and hope for the best.. had been studying in school everyday despite the long journey to & fro but it feels great to be back at the place which left me great memories!! had wj accompanying me studying but all alone when she completed her papers.. xm spent her leave in school accompanying us too thou I know its really bored as there wasnt much for her to do.. the day I regain freedom after exams was a happy one.. met xm for lunch before she goes to work & dinner with wj & j..

its been bz at work.. ot almost everyday but happy to have tons of work to do.. I'm a workaholic & I can't stand not having things to do.. I'm self torturing myself?? & soon after that is to HK!! after comparing the costs for every place, decide on a cheaper one before exploring a further one.. thou its somewhere we have been to before but its a new experience with a new friend going.. its really fun with tons of eating & shopping.. love the weather which is so cooling & nice except for the cracked lips wj & I got.. we didnt missed our flight this time!! Haa.. xm even msg us to say not to miss it.. its still not a good experience with bad customer service from the personnel at the airport.. customer service is really bad in HK, exp at the shops along sports street.. Ocean park is the one which we all love & I love the dolphins!! they are so cute.. & the pandas too.. my favourite food is the dim sum we had at chao inn!! cheap & good..

its my first time staying at a guesthouse as I always stayed in hotels whenever I'm overseas but its not too bad.. the room was small but enough for the 3 of us to sleep on one bed to stay together.. the other bed ended up being our place to place clothes.. but the shower space was really small but luckily we are all small sized.. the person in charge is really helpful & recommended all the nice food to us.. love all he recommended.. not much victory goods but its the getaway thats important to me.. had been cropped up these days & a getaway is what I really need to recharge.. thanks to wj who asked if I wanna go together as my friend couldnt go to TW together.. but I still wanna go TW one day.. prob I can go backpacking there by myself in the near future..


Lovely gals of the trip..

I must say its much more fun this time rd as compared to the last time round.. its funny when j said our last trip is fun as well if not for XXX.. but looking forward to gg somewhere else..

its my SC run today!! my 3rd run for the year.. companion runners are wj & xm..


my runner bib & medal..

was sad that we ran for safra 10km but didnt sign up for the competitive category so there's no medal for that, so this is def a make-up.. to think that I always failed my 2.4km in sec sch days, I ran two 10km & one 5 km this year.. cant imagine myself running the 42km thou.. guess I'll end up flagging a cab after 10km or walk the rest of 32km.. looking at the guys after their run, they all walk with difficulties as lots has leg cramps along the way.. I salute the old people I saw along the way.. they are running the 42km with smiles but my leg ache running the 10km.. but I'll still be there next year!! next run... adidas sundown?? a different experience running in the night.. anyone interested??

looking to revamp my whole room but need to think over how I wanna do it.. hope to have a new look.. conceptualising my ideas for now..

had a gift from xm which is made to print diary from her workplace... thank you!! it was later that she know that she can have my name engraved on it but still love it nonetheless.. since I didn't get in, she got me something from there.. ML has always been the place I wanna be.. despite it being hit hard by the economic crisis, it has been my dream place to work since uni.. there's no specific reason why I like it, its a "love at first sight" I guess.. still working towards it even thou I know it may not even realise.. she always comment I'm crazy to even want to work there but its the realisation of the dream which matters to me.. wont give up until "been there, tried it"...

E mentioned abt Gucci sale... but too bz to go down to have a look.. Hope I can get a wallet from there.. or a bag?? the LV which I wanted is out of stock in France.. sobz..

Had a happy sat spent watching Wong Lee Hom concert!! Was initially feeling the pinch but I guess its all worth it.. bought the second expensive tickets & I should say its a pretty good spot.. all the people who bought the 198 tickets were standing all the way.. I would prefer to sit & enjoy all his song.. a concert inspired by superheros like superman, spideman, batman, etc which sees the birth of the theme "music-man".. applaued his perspective of achieving freedom and to just be yourself.. everyone has their weak side but others might perceive that you are happy or good but fail to see the imperfection of life that only we ourselves know.. "what others think are all crap!!".. thats the part I heard him said the loudest.. probably I'm subjective too, seeing only the perfect side of people's eperience..

anyway.. love the part of him playing the violin.. he is just as good with the panio but looking at how he is immersed playing the violin is just so dashing.. wasnt really a fanatic fan of his but guess I am now..



not all are perfect thou.. he has quite a few instances of singing the wrong verse or forget his lyrics.. but no one is perfect isn't it?? I dont even remember all the sentences I read in my textbooks.. hope there will be more encores actually but there's only one.. there's still many "must hear" songs!! with cool visual effects (except for the black sqaure right in the middle of the screen) & his melodious voice, I'm happy to make the choice to watch his concert.. & scenes of me screaming isn't something you will see often.. heez.. most importantly, suprise plan a success but not without some running & hidding!! looking forward to attending another concert which gives the "high high high" feeling..

anyway.. hibernation period now.. as days near, mood just slips to the bottom.. desperate call for a genie to save me now.. fatigue been hitting me hard & I can't wake myself up for run which left me feeling so guilty... SC run coming soon & I have yet to train.. gonna be a tough task...

Sunday, October 05, 2008

its been a pretty bz week.. its my first business trip out to client's place.. a total different experience but I do hope to get back soon as the journey to the destination is pretty far.. hope I get to learn a lot through this experience & in time to come (hopefully very fast), I get to handle my very first case by myself.. I'm really eager to learn all the necessary steps to completing a case.. hope this day comes fast before the deadline I set for myself comes & deciding its all over..

just back from shopping & movie with xm.. watched so much to watch ma ma mia but tickets are selling fast so we watched painted skin in the end..



Adapted from Strange Tales of Liaozhai, this film is about a married man who falls for a beautiful woman who is actually a vixen spirit, and her appearance the result of a piece of beautifully painted skin. (adapted from gv.com)

not too bad a show with laughter & sad part.. tocuhed by the love the general has for his wife.. besides that would say a typical ending kind of show..

I'm so happy.. going for my first concert.. watching Wong Lee Hom concert!!! Happy.. happy.. **would be even happier if I get my hands on jay's tickets the last time or gary's thou.. but at that time was pretty broke..** waiting for tha day to come!! but that would mean exams coming soon too.. DREAD!! wish time would just stop for me to catch up on whatever I'm unclear.. not confident of passing at all...

been obsessed with surfing watches website lately.. if not for my location at the client's place, I would be surfing the website every lunch break.. ever since the gang was discussing about watches, I've been looking out for new models.. love tag heuer watches but its too huge a indulgence for me.. I'm content to just look at the display window for now.. prob when the time I had a windfall, I'll step into the store!! currently, having my very first LV would make me just as happy.. probably I should buck up on my studies, passed the exams & give myself a treat.. **if only I passed.. would I?? Haiz.. everyone was shocked to know I'm crazy to take 2 killer papers together.. ya.. come to think of it, I'm really crazy!!

I must buck up tml & try to complete the set of questions he gave us.. "die die must pass" is my motto!! I'm happy that I drew good lots too.. hope things will all be good and smooth..

Realised that its been a long time since I last blog.. getting lazy typing down with life being so hectic.. wonder how I made it at times.. Haa..

been attending class for consec 4 days in a week.. a pretty blessed gal with really nice classmates who's wiling to share with me their notes & teaching me stuffs which I have doubt in.. & I'm finally done with all the extra classes & its now back to normal timetable again.. FINALLY!! I'm feeling so deadbeat that I need a week sleep..

let me think what happen for the the month..

watched Wall-E with xm, wj & j... its a movie with meanings behind it.. the rubbish that humans threw each day is accumulating at some an alarming rate that we should start conserving our earth before it turns into a rubbish cute.. the robots in the movie are pretty cute.. I wouldnt say I really like it very much but not too bad to the point I wanna sleep.. Its also the day which I lost my coursepack.. was in j's car when I realised my coursepack was missing.. haiz.. called all the places we went to but none has news of my book.. I'm so demoralised as all my important notes are lost & I have to buy a new one.. cost me 50 bucks & feeling "bu hao yi shi", I didnt put it under co. expenses thou I think I can claim it as my book fees.. anyway, as mum says "po cai xiao zai"..

Have been sick for a week, so sick that its been a very bad flu & cough but recovered now.. Hope won't fall sick again.. despite falling sick, I went ahead to meet xm for shopping after my class.. sneeze so badly that I gave up shopping further..

last thurs was xm's b'day.. Happy b'day to my dearest friend!! ate dinner with her for the night to celebrate her day.. a friend who tide thru with me in uni & befriending her group of friends who are now my weekly outing kakis.. been thinking a lot lately.. when we gain smthg, we'll lose smthg in return.. its probably very true & smthg which closely relates to me.. but anyway, I'm really happy to have friends beside me whenever I'm feeling down..

its been a hectic 2 weeks.. had class from thurs to sun.. that goes all my weekends.. after class on sat, went to my cousin's house for gathering.. its really nice to see all my cousins & do some catching up.. after dinner, had overnight ktv session with xm, wj, ej, j & jw to celebrate xm's b'day together.. oh gosh!! we sang all the way till 5am.. we were all longing for our bed.. we had bf at mac before j drives us all home.. decided to go for a jog when I got home.. I'm crazy right?? after my jog, went for class again.. I'm pretty dead right then.. but I survived thru the class & watched F1 race in the night.. its really cool!! xm & I made a pact that we'll def be there next yr if there is another race next yr!! I wanna see Hamilton & Raikkonen!! Haa...

will be down at client's place for probably 2 weeks depending how fast we finished the job.. hope we get it done fast..

yve - tts lazy lin's updates... heez.. life pretty busy, not with work but studies.. Haa..

My first run began on 20 Jul 08.. its my first ever run & a short one of 5km.. happy to accomplish it in 1/2 hrs.. its fun to be running in the open air, running ard the CBD area with all the high rise buildings ard me..

Completed my 2nd run of 10km - safra army half marathon.. its a diff one compared to the last with the distance being longer & a whole different bunch of pple.. went over to wj house with xm for sleepover so that j can drives us all there in the morning.. when we were abt to sleep, one of the unit at the opposite block was having their music so loud that we couldnt sleep at all.. the 3 of us sat by the window peering over looking for the inconsiderate people.. we tried our best to sleep & wj couldnt hold it longer, she called the police.. haa.. we sat by the window again waiting for the police to come.. its a totally thrilling & fun experience.. wj kinda tongue tied & said she lives at rivervale mall.. coz she always tell her friends she lives near RV mall.. the police walked ard the void deck for quite some time, not knowing where to head.. I nearly wanted to shout over, "Go up to the 4th floor la!!!" we watched the whole episode of the 2 policemen finally walking up the stairs & the music finally stopped when the police knocked on the right door.. its finally peaceful if thats what you think.. their voices were still so loud that I could hear clearly their laughter and shouting.. in the end, I didnt catch a wink, just closing my eyes waiting for the alarm to go off..

we had a fast washup, ate our b/f in the car & reach there ard 6am as j & WQ's flagoff is 6.30 for their 21km.. I can nv run tt dist at this moment when I nv even completed 10km.. the 4 gals then sat along esplandae trying to sleep while waiting for our flagoff time.. feel so happy to complete the run.. I conquered 10km!!! a distance I nv tot I could do it.. one discouraging pt is that I started walking after reaching the 7km mark, walked another 2 km then run again.. to show I ran hard, the soles of my shoes are on the verge of coming off along the run but I survived home thou.. while running, witness lots of fun stuffs & saw encouraging moments.. there's lots of thing in life which we would nv know if we can do it until we attempt it.. our treat for the day is dim sum at "Hong Sing".. ate to our heart contents!! then shopped ard suntec with xm b4 heading back home..

Looking forward to my next run in Dec- SC marathon.. still thinking if I should join NB run as its a tough one.. gonna train hard to improve my timing & to finish the run at one shot with no walking..

In this week, was so pissed off with XXX.. I'm trying hard but yet went unappreciated.. its just a total turnoff.. prob just as E says, friends are just sparetyre, remembered only when needed.. true?? guess she's the only one who knows how I feel & share my thoughts.. glad that I still have a friend who is willing to listen to my grumbles and a friend I can get consolation from.. just telling myself, people who's not worthy are not worth the attention.. anyway, just wanna vent off.. will be fine again when I cool down..

Sunday, August 17, 2008

My life now is all about eat, sleep, work & study with the first 2 being what I'm best at & the latter 2 what I'm worst at.. I had an unexpected little surprise too with an extra exemptions that I got.. but the bad news is I have to attend lessons on Sat & I'm TOTALLY lost.. who can save me in consol??

I guess I know what I love now.. as much as I hate economics in the past, but now, I love theories from smith, keynes, akerlof, etc.. rather than remembering accounting rules.. at least economics is smthg which revolves ard our everyday life.. well.. at least what I need to memorise is all the formulas.. its been some time since I last come in contact with a/cg stuffs & its taken a toll on me now.. with the benchmark set so high, I'm freaking stress how am I going to survive & achieve the results set.. I'm not Michel Phelps who can set WR even if his goggles were filled with water..

I'm crazy to be taking the 2 hardest & killer papers right for my start.. am I courting death, digging my own grave?? I don't wanna lose out when the race is not even done but I no longer have the old gang of friends who tide through with me together back in uni, with everyone of us working out solutions together.. its a lone journey here with everyone almost to themselves.. someone told me he's ASPD.. maybe I'm one too? may good luck be with me & i'll tide thru this..

its the olympics game now.. & people from my office is so engrossed in it.. its interesting that we all come from different countries & each of us has a team in it.. they'll be like checking out how their country did in the medal tally but I'm checking out athletes from other countries than my very own.. well.. at least for me, none of them fascinate me so I rather be going wooo & ahhh over someone else.. haa.. its great that s'pore finally getting into the finals after 48 years but its the sport which I dont have an interest in..

Tuesday, August 05, 2008

Have been sneezing away for the past few days & splitting headache.. but I still have to attend night class.. decided to give myself a break tml.. yeah!! sld I go for a morning jog tml morning (with my tissue??)??

Inflation has been hitting hard on s'pore with price hike for everything you can think of.. seen the doct & its a $4 increase in consultation.. if not for avoiding passing the virus to the rest, I would let it sneeze on.. anyway, I've zo-bo-ing now.. guess I wud study at home tml..
