Skypark
Was at the 53rd floor of Marina Bay Sands Hotel on Sunday. Junior suite - very gorgeous view and huge room! Went up to the Skypark for a swim and an hour worth of tan. Absolutely heavenly! Amazing design! It was fabulous! Pics are not yet uploaded. Will post them when I'm less tired. :)
Went for a run jus now - 1st run in goodness knows how long. I've put on weight.. My whole family says so! :( So I decided to keep fit! Ran from my house to Bishan to Shunfu aka Marymount MRT and all the way home again. 1 big round though I'm not sure how long it is. Will find out later but the run feels good! My old injury acted up a little by aching when I was done with the run but I think it's ok now. Or so I hope! :p
Side note: Tried a very delicious Lavender flavoured mooncake at Taka basement but didn't buy it. Regretting now!!! :_( I think.. I wanna go back to Taka to get the mooncake for myself!!!

Pretty Face
Disgusted that some girls get jobs by looking pretty, know how to put tonnes of makeup on their faces, know how to whine and act sweet and pitiful or cute but are not that fantastic with their work.
She came for an interview. Main interviewer was a female. Main interviewer came out of the interview and the more senior guys started requesting to "interview" her as well. So the guys went in, saw her, found her pretty. After the whole thing, main interviewer asked for opinion. Guys obviously adore her to bits! Main interviewer commented "A girl need not know anything about her work, as long as she's pretty and knows how to doll up."
Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK??? If everyone thinks like that, I'm sure the company will collapse sooner or later!!!
And the more disgusting part is that after the interview, she came up to our floor almost every single day to suck up to the main interviewer and act sweet in front of the guys! *PUKES*
ARGH!!! Can't stand people who suck up and act pretty/sweet/cute in front of guys but treat other people like dirt! She showed me attitude but was damn sweet and nice to my ex-manager (guy of coz) when we asked the same thing! Gross to the max!
Office is not gonna be the same again.. I can only hope that when we have our restack (aka changing of seats) and when we move to the new office, pls pls do NOT let me sit anywhere near her or I'll jus die! Jus hope I don't see her much.. Bleah!!!!!!

Hoping..
ARGH!! Couldn't help it but lost my patience again!!! And this time, we bumped into someone from our office! And I was soooo pissed that I said something about her behind her back. Problem is, I might have said it a bit too loud (under the influence of alchohol) and now I'm seriously worried that she might have heard it!!! Damn it!!!!!!!!!!!
Super duper pissed with myself!!! What's done cannot be undone. Can only tell myself to SHUT UP and once again, remind myself not to lose my patience in public especially near office area! Damn!!!!!

Tolerance
Can't believe it - I woke up late for work today!! Or rather, I didn't wake up til Jacko (my mentor) sms-ed me at 7.45am to check if I was stuck on the MRT. How embarrassing is that?! I woke up with a start, called him to say I was sorry and that I had jus woken up, would be at work shortly. :( Rushed and thankfully, there was a cab available! Reached office at 8.15am in the end - almost an hour late! Luckily my team mates were really nice and didn't make a big hoo-ha out of it. :)
Was on the MRT on the way home jus now. Where I stood happened to be next to where a couple was sitting. Noticed that both their faces looked a bit black. As usual, I had my Ipod with me and my music was blasting. I secretly removed 1 side of my earphones and realised they were arguing/quarrelling about something. Felt bad to intrude and hence I stuck the earphone back into my ear.
But it got me thinking after that episode on the MRT. How many times have Eeyore and I done that in public - being pissed with each other and showing black faces? Too many times to even be counted, too many times for me to wanna remember or think about it now. And I realised how ugly it must have seemed to everyone. Now that I look back and reflect, it must have been awful.
So now I know, never ever to do that in public. It's really not a good sight to others, neither is it good for us. Learning to let go bit by bit - be more patient, less temperamental. Get used to his sloppiness and not nag as much. Learn to do things without his gratitude coz most times it means nothing to him. :) Gotta learn to be a lot more tolerant.
I'm working hard on it, be it with him or with family and friends. Let's hope I get to the stage where I can be what I really wanna be. ^.^

Sydney 13-21 Aug 2010
What can I say? It was an amazing trip!! I know I was bad to throw my tantrum on the trip a few times - he didn't help me but was helping my sis when we 1st went skiing, I was really too tired to even wanna talk to anyone. I can't help it! It was the time of the month and I was really tired out! He really tried his hardest to pacify me along the way and seriously, I haven't felt his love in a very long time til this trip! It's so nice to be loved again! :)
Can't remember all the things we did or saw but here's the gist of it.
13 Aug - The moment we reached Sydney, we checked in to our hotel (Travelodge Wynard) and headed out for lunch with Ting, Gin, Yinta and Carly. Dim sum at Chinatown! :) They were really sweet to buy us lunch! Walked around town for some sight seeing, met up with Kat and the rest again for dinner! Back to hotel to zzz soon after as I was tired from the overnite flight.
14 Aug - Rented a car and drove to Hunter Valley. Tasted lots of wine, bought 7 bottles of wine as well! Very nice day out~! :)
15 Aug - Went out with Kat and her bf, Kingston to Opera House, Sydney bridge, etc. Sightseeing for the morning til about 2pm. Then it was on to outlet shopping! As we didn't have much time to shop, all I managed to grab was a lingerie dress. Haha. Rushed back to Opera House to watch a performance by Raymond Crowe. 1st play I've ever watched in Sydney Opera House!!! :p Amazing experience and I enjoyed it lots! Dinner with Kat at an Italian restaurant and back to zzz.
16 Aug - Started our drive to Perisher Mountains for skiing!! But the drive was not smooth. Eeyore took his old car back from his friend to drive up to Perisher, but little did we know that the radiator was spoilt. Car became overheated and smoke was coming out thro the bonnet. Scary! Pulled the car over, topped it up with water and drove to the nearest town for checking. Had to leave the car there to fix the radiator and rent another car to drive up to the mountain. By the time we reached Perisher, we had wasted a day of our snow pass and weren't in time to learn how to ski. :( The only best part was, it was snowing when we reached!!! 1st time I ever ever saw snow! Beautiful!!
17 Aug - Ski lesson in progress! The ski instructor was ok but a little racist. Didn't focus on us Asians and simply went really fast with the Westerners. Sigh.. Sis kept falling down and injured herself everywhere but luckily, nothing serious. I had fun though and didn't fall at all. Woohoo!!
18 Aug - Sis decided to take 1st timer's lesson again. I could have gone for Level 2 lessons, that is to go on the ski lifts and gone up the higher and steeper slopes to ski more professionally but was worried about sis hence I re-took 1st timer's lesson as well. It's a waste of $ to have bought ski lifts passes but not go on it. :( No choice I guess. Sis did well and didn't fall!! The instructor this time, Matt Tomm, was really good and patient! I managed to climb up slope on my own for once! Woohoo!!!
19 Aug - Sad to leave Perisher but we had to.. Stopped by Canberra and visited the Parliament House. Nice!! Reached back Sydney, had dinner at Hurricane's and that was where I was soooo tired that I didn't know my face turned black. Oopss.. :(
20 Aug - Breakfast at Pancakes at the rocks. Very yummy!! :p Outlet shopping at DFO and that took us the whole day!! Went mad shopping til the shops closed at 6pm! But I was totally knocked out coz time of the month came in the morning and seriously jus drained me out. Dinner at Harry's de Wheels and back to hotel to pack and zzz. But it was a waste coz I couldn't meet up with the rest of the guys who went drinking with Eeyore. :(((((
21 Aug - Last day in Sydney. :_( Had breakfast at Queen Victoria Building. Back to hotel to check out. Kat picked us up and we went to Fish Market for lunch with Ting, Yinta, Carly and Kingston. We ate sooo much oysters and sashimi!!! Soooo fresh and yummy!!! I don't wanna come back!!!! The girls were sooo sweet to send us off to airport! I miss them loads! And time for us to come back to hot, sunny Singapore and no longer the cool and nice Sydney winter. :(
It was a fantastic trip, all in all. A much needed break from work and of coz, a very good break for my relationship. We're happy once again and I hope this time, things will work out better now. We shall see.. :) More photos to be posted either on Facebook or in a photo album. Will update again on that. Lastly, my favourite photo of the whole trip - I had to coerce him into taking this pic though.. Why do most guys I like hate taking pics??? ARGH!

Break / Breakthrough
Today is a breakthrough for me - I actually had lunch on my own in public, that is I didn't hide in the office or at home to eat alone. I ate alone at the food court with my trusty companion aka Ipod. :) Was kinda alright. Think I might be able to get used to this idea someday.
Thanks to everyone for the concern about the blood problem. Only happened that 1 time so I am refraining from rushing to the doc. I know, I'm jus plain stubborn but I feel ok for now. I'm eating a lot and since what goes in must come out, I have been going to toilet quite a lot too. And hence, I'm hungry quite easily these days. :D I promise that I'll see a doc the minute I feel that something is not right, ok? :) Pls don't scold me!
Finally, I am having a well deserved (in my own opinion only) break! 1st trip out of Singapore (not counting KL or Malaysia coz those are not that far away!) for this year starts tonite! It's a far cry from my 5 trips per year policy but it's soooo hard to take leave together with Eeyore that I'm really starting to feel annoyed. Sigh... I love travelling and this is torturous to me! Not having any trips til now has simply drained me out.
But I can't blame him. His job is still not secured after 6 months, I was dying to change departments then and had to stick around in Singapore to wait for things to happen. I only hope that this will be the only year that I can't travel as much. I need my little breaks from work here and there to feel recharged and full of life once again!!
Saw the lovely video of Sid & Stef. Soooo sweet and lovey dovey that I'm actually envious! It's such a beautiful video of them! I'm so happy for the 2 of them - to have found each other, to be getting married and starting their lives as a married couple soon! :)
And I start wondering about my own relationship.. Trying hard not to let sad and unhappy thoughts run wild in my mind!! I'm going to Sydney with him and Peg. We should be happy on the trip. I really hope we can be happy. It seems like a long time since we've been really happy with each other. Ahhh.. Think happy thoughts!!!
7pm already?!!! I better get pack to checking my luggage and all the packing in case I miss out on anything again! I'll be back on 21 August so the next update will probably be in more than a week's time (unless I blog at airport again as usual). Haha.
Til then, take care all!

Monitoring Myself
Something happened to me as I was about to leave office and head home. I saw blood where I'm not supposed to see it (not the monthly kind in case u guys are thinking of that). I'm not sure what is causing it and I'm gonna monitor my condition. I really dunno if it's a cause for alarm but I'm hoping that it's not. My initial reaction was fright when I saw it. Then I started to be worried and I actually teared a bit in office.
But I'm not gonna let this get me down. Much as I'm concerned about myself, I'm gonna stay strong and keep my fingers crossed, wishing for the best. This could be a sign for me to start being more attentive and showing more care towards my own health.
Maybe it's time for me to love myself more, care more for myself and to treat myself better. This body of mine is no longer what it used to be. Getting old with age and body parts might need some repair of sorts. Really have to take care of myself!
1 day of monitoring is what I managed to bargain for before I'm forced to see the doctor. Pls lemme be ok!!!

Friends.. Oh Pls!
I think I've finally seen the true colours of hypocrites and liars who call themselves my friends. From today onwards, I'll distant myself from such people who treat me like a fool. I have forgiven them time and time again, but pls stop mis-using my kindness and making me an idiot. I choose to close 1 eye everytime, but not anymore. I'm not going to be the nice and naive girl in your eyes any longer.
Sick and tired of such so called friends. Like what my daddy used to say, u don't need a lot of friends. Jus a few good friends is more than enough. I agree. Totally. Thanks for letting me see it so clearly today. I will no longer care nor bother about u anymore.
I'm sure my life will be happier without such so called "friends".
