I can't really remember the sequence of event so... I just blog what I can remember first? Heh
Singapore Discovery Centre
Can't remember when exactly this was, i remember it as a 'boot date',
both of us were donned in our Timberland boots
I remember that day i was feeling fat, end up most of the pics were unsatisfactory,
despite the hot weather i put on my not-so-thick cardigan and took the shot
thus this face:
Our original intention was to catch a movie there : Iron Man 3, which was AWESOME!!!
But since we had nth much to do for the day, and the movie only starts at 6,
we toured around Singapore Discovery Centre
In the beginning it was quite interesting, but I got bored too easily.
Feels home though, like really SINGAPORE!!
Since Dearest is a NSF, we also get to go to the Army Museum
FOR FREE!! they can bring in up to 4 guests I think,
Interesting, but no pics taken...
the army terms they use can be quite funny
There is also a 'shooting range' if you are interested... Need to pay though,
Coincidentally, the period we went, Dearest has just gotten his marksmanship
that is $200 extra... CONGRATS!!! :D
Long time no take zilian pictures so here it is....
Cui complexion as always... the pimple on my nose is as stubborn as I am.. LOL
We were wearing boots that day so I TRIED the SOC!! Dearest says its the 'old SOC'
can't remember the diff but I rmb it was quite fun with the balancing thingy and the ladder was...
when you reach the 2nd highest you just stop and don't know how to cross to the other side!!
If you haven't been to discovery centre, the movie is very cheap, compared to the normal GV, Cathay
of course... because it is so economical, expect lots of families, kids especially...
but ok la!! WORTH IT!!
anw, prior to the Iron Man 3 movie, there was a free in house movie, smth abt aeroplane,
which was so long and draggy, in 3d summore. but cus the seat was too nice, aircon temp just right,
and not much ppl, both of us FELL ASLEEP!!! LOL ok joke...
BANGKOK 17TH-19TH MAY
Went for a 3d2n really short trip with my colleagues, short cus we are all in the same dept and...can't take too many days of leave at the same time >.<
We got an extremely cheap deal at $300, SQ flight and staying at novotel platinum
(which is just above platinum mall)
end up lots of payment problems, although at the end of the day the payment went through,
but caused lots of unhappiness and MONEY cus have to keep calling...
Will think twice before booking again though the deal is ridiculously good!
Won't really recommend to friends....
Anw, our flight is at 7am, so we had to be there by 5.45am
I OVERSLEPT!! i woke the time they whatsapped and it was the time
i was suppose to leave home!! i was like OMG!!! rushed like anything
cabbed with fellow Jurong-er colleague...
Cab driver ask why my luggage so light, I only brought 2 sets of clothes. hehe
Lucky we reach ZHUN ZHUN 5.45am.
Flight was too short to enjoy entertainment, but the food was good (Y)
I didn't even finish watching my Taxi Taxi!
We were onboard A320 which was newer, theres a usb port to charge samsung phones also :D
too bad the plane we came back in, was the older one...
anw, we reached there, bought sim card, ding dong,
by the time we settled down and head out for lunch+shopping was abt 12+ already
oh, we stayed at the executive room, so there was this executive lounge that you can slack in,
for free!! but we didn't quite utilise it anw, we were out most of the time...
This trip, not sure why... dunnoe isit too short, doesn't seem to be as fruitful as my usual trips.
in fact, my loots from chatuchak like more than platinum mall :( sadly...
One thing for sure,THE HOTEL BREAKFAST BUFFET IS REALLY GOOD!
The service and variety is (Y)(Y)
Overall, its clean and convenient, will stay there if i have the budget!
The whole time we were there, we only had 1X authentic Thai food! HAHA. SAD RIGHT!
MK STEAMBOAT WAS GREAT!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE DUCK.
my colleagues were very considerate, cus i don't take pork so...
they didn't order any pork to be cooked in the steamboat.
I appreciate it when we dine in a meal, they would always look out for me
AWESOME COLLEAGUES!!
MANICURE + PEDICURE!!! was there for at least an hour!!! HAHA LOVE IT LOVE IT!
i totally need no Gelish nails cus... I don't do housework...
still in good condition after 3 weeks.. HAHAHA
except the nail growing part...
On the last day, there was a 'annual gathering'(according to the letter from hotel),
Saw lots of ppl in red, Thaksin and Yingluck,
But wasn't any protest, peaceful gathering? Ppl just seating around, vendors were selling things...
Dread coming back but oh well... all holidays have to end...
We landed around 12+, i slept at 2, woke up that same morning for WORK!!! HAHA
River Safari
The same day we went to sign our 2nd HDB appointment in the morning.
anw, 2nd appt means... 5% deducted from CPF, lucky for us its covered by our grant.
big headache now is the reno...
River Safari is not fully completed, so not all animals are ready to be exhibited.
Therefore, the entrance ticket is sold at a slight discounted price(still exp imho)
Because its the RIVER, many are fishes which i don't find as engaging as live animals from the zoo.
maybe its just me. haha
but at the end of the day, I was so intrigued by the rivers that I would someday want to fly to
a country bounded by Amazon river and see the animals! SO INTERESTING!

I am not a fan of panda, but they are cute when I saw them,
I have seen pandas in Hong Kong back in 2007 when i visitied Ocean Park in Hong Kong,

But that was a closed glass enclosure whereas this was open...
The spread the leaves at different location so the Pandas,

anw, we didn't really get to enjoy the food since we were rushing for time
worth another try!
My ex boss came back from Japan and SEE!! THE TOKYO BANANA SO NICE LEH!!!
plus the uniquely flavoured KITKAT!
This TOM YUM NOODLES TASTE REALLY GOOD!!! HAHAHA
The JOKE NIKE SHERUNS 5km was a total failure,
My and sy ended up walking >5km than doing the actual run.
I wont join Nike runs anymore!!!!
its overrated, overpriced and the shirts this time aren't that nice imo.
Sundown last week... had the most comfortable night run but I had a timing worst
than my first 10km last year, not sure why- the route or the people?
nonetheless, happy i completed 10km because i have procrastinated running for so long
in fact, when i reached the 4km mark, i told myself, this was the furthest i have ran in 2 months!!
i am amazed how i always manage to finish 10km during races but during trainings
3km can be a chore...
My next race is in 2 weeks time... toughest race every year - MOUNT FABER
since exams are over now, i need to double the runs and intensity
Jurong lake run in July and probably break in Aug for hari raya...
its like the fats are there and no way the abs muscles are gonna appear on those fats
so... looks like i need to do hell lots of cardio >.<
Ytd i ran at 10am, didn't even finish 2km, i stopped, i was tired, the sun was scorching hot
My legs were jelly, don't feel like its mine, though i ran with an empty stomach this hardly happens.
Told myself today i must do justice...
So i forced myself to finish 5km, i ran in the evening though..
So yay, completed 5km today... can't rmb when was the last time i finished 5km.. grrr
Met my girls ytd for gossip session and great food! love the food there!!
but i had fish overdose, had it for lunch and dinner ytd
this morning my mum cooked FISH AGAIN~
Planning for a trip overseas....
Exams are finally over!!!! This sem seems to be very distracted with work, family and me- just distracted. hate it!! anw i took 2 modules this sem which I think I will fail, pinning hopes on audit though, initially I wanted not to attend Financial Management cus I did not study for it
But realise i should not be a loser, I went, did whatever I can, stoned for 1.5hours...
For my 1.5years of ACCA, there was never one paper i completed EARLY!!! haha
the whole 3 hours is fighting war with time... but this time i guess i just wasn't prepared enough.
I will try harder next semester.
On a side note, ppl think I am not appreciative of them? Oh really?
no one know nuts about working, studying and managing your passion at the same time
I admit sometimes I just don't have the time, I may forget things...
If there is smth you are really unhappy abt, TELL ME, we could work things out.
I have to prioritise and i can't please everyone!
grrrrrrrrr
can't wait for 3.5 years to come asap, i can escape from all these...
