Was chatting with Irene and I realised I've got LOADS of perfumes!

My FIRST perfume was Gucci Envy Me.

Then I cant remember the 2nd and 3rd onwards. HAHA.

Just to share what I've got.

1. Gucci Envy Me
2. Hugo Boss
3. Issey Miyake
4. Marc Jacobs Daisy
5. Polo Ralph (red cute thing)
6. Sexy 212
7. Paris Hilton
8. Jennifer Lopez - Love at First Glow
9. Versace Crystal

I think this is all I can remember off hand.

Won't finish spraying for the next 3 years. So dont give me anymore perfume! :D

Beautiful nails
If you do not know yet, I am a huge fan of manicure and pedicure!

I signed up my first package with my first ever bonus with Ladyfinger at 17years old.

Since then, my nails were taken care of by manicurists because I am so clumsy at it.

But the past year my nails were not pampered that much. $60 for a classic pedi and mani is hefty!

However, there are always cheaper alternatives. :p

Went for pedicure in JB on Hari Raya and had this done!


Classic pedicure + nail art(black base and silver "prints") for RM60 = $27SGD.

For $27, you can only afford a classic manicure with NO nail art.

I'm going back to Holiday Plaza to get bling nails before Christmas! :D

The near future..
I'm gonna go through another transition very soon, in fact it started few weeks back.

It's not convenient to reveal more on such a public place as it concerns others.

However, I do hope that I will grow in the next stage of career and step onto the first step to success.

*****

Dec is a quiet month therefore bosses are overseas.

My boss went New Zealand for a good ten days and when she's back, my VP headed for Gold Coast, another 14 days.

One day I will be soooo rich for Paris and go on Chanel and LV shopping. HAHAHA.

Standard Chartered Marathon 2010
Every December comes the highlight of Singapore! Especially for the health conscious people or those who want to be part of the fun!

It was my first race of 21km!!


See our morning faces!


It was terrible because there was NO training and the sun rose really early that morning.

Free tanning session.

HIGHLIGHT of the entire 21km.

#1 The run into USS at 6th km


I didn't regret signing up for 21km instead of 10km JUST because of this. HAHA.

#2 Photo with this tall creature!


He was the only one without queue. Bu take bai bu take ma. HAHA.

Other characters who were there are Shrek and Princess, penguins and etc. LONG queues!

We began our loooooonnnnnggggg walk from 11th km.... :s

At each of such banners, we just got happier because we are nearing the ending point. There is NO u-turn or whatsoever. Once we start the 1st km, that's it. Just gotta finish TWENTY-ONE by hook or by crook.

Imagine those on 42km...... :/

Finally after FOUR long hours.......


It was truly an experience to get tanned, sit along the expressways and talk non stop for HOURS.

Conclusion : I will NEVER go for 42KM because I am still sane. At least for the coming 1 to 2 years.

But I'm quite sure to go for another 21km, and make it a serious run next SC Marathon.

Now.. to train for 10km at Sundown in May 2011! :)

Lonely ride, not really..
On 15th Nov, I drove the car ALONE from the east back home.

It was kinda memorable because I realised I didnt want to die so young.

With 2 other passengers in the car, we almost got into an accident with a SBS bus, head on to my "head" too.

Thank God for the vigilant bus driver otherwise we'll cause a huge jam, and probably my life.

Although that LOUD horn made a huge impact on me, I managed to make it home safely after the errands.

Phew, speaking in tongues and playing P&W songs help alot alot to calm me down.

Now I have more confidence to drive alone. :)

With the COE rising and rising.... hopes of getting a car next year is drifting further. :((

Lazy
I have not updated my blog for a long time, almost forgot it existed!

Know why?

Because I'm so caught up with Godfinger on my new Ipod Touch 4. Finally, an Apple belongs to me!!!

It was bought to help with my practice and recordings of songs, to also play music lah duhh. Mainly for vocal purposes.

But.......

I have been sick and Laoshi fell ill 2 weeks back, no lesson for 3 weeks alrdy!

Can't afford to lose the momentum if I'm going for LCM's exam next year!

********

Throat infection last Thu and it was hell for me. I havent been so sick that I had almost ZERO activities, which includes going to the office because it's so inconsiderate to pass the bacteria around.

I'm lacking on social life, deprived of nice food for TWO weeks.

However, God is still good. Managed to lose 1 stubborn KG like finally! My face became sharper (Esther's feedback) and I saved LOTS of money! Homecooked food, of cos I cheated a little by buying snacks. :p

Saved on contact lens because I dont put on if I dont leave home for anywhere further than Khatib.

Gosh, I spent $70 on the GP. ARGH, how could I forget this?

That's why, a healthy body is so important.

Can't wait to get back to running. 5km is fine, I'll be super happy about it!

It's a wordy entry.

Sorry, but I've become so boring. :(

*** No entry on the food blog because I haven't been eating nice food ma! :(((

Success
If only I have the discipline to stick to this...

7am - morning run
8am - newspaper + breakfast
9.30am - 6pm - office and work
7pm - dinner
8 pm - choir prac, vocal lesson, cgms, dinner catch ups
12am - sleep

And it becomes a routine..

I will be fit and healthy with daily runs, regular meals and full of energy during the day with enough sleep. Achieving my goals and doing what I like without neglecting God, family and friends.

I need this kinda discipline.

Sorry..
To a friend who's always there, be it ups or downs..

I know you care a lot for me, I appreciate that yet I do not acknowledge because of my own reasons..

Thank you for going the extra mile even if there are obstacles.

Don't think anything will change though.

God bless. :)

Food blog
Set up one blog to record the food I've tasted since alot of my friends think I have awesome food all the time!

It could be helpful if you need ideas where to go.

I am not professional so dont expect DSLR pictures and perfect words to describe the food! :D

Check out my humble www.yanthefoodie.blogspot.com

Date?
Definitely not something I look forward to..... :(

I think I'm too used to going out with girls, that I find it weird to have dinner alone with a guy.

Maybe its me who's weird.

If I carry on like this, its will be true why I'm single, just because my social circle are mostly girls!

I'm straight!!

BBQ at Dam
Sorry for quite a harsh entry yesterday.

Back to talk about a gathering my Cousin Da and his friends organised for me! *loved* they did the BBQ because I had a crave for it, and I did not have any food during my 21st party. So sweet right? Sorry girls, they are all married. :p



Weather forecast showed that there would be a passing shower, which I prayed for it to NOT be accurate!

We used simple stuff to set up the BBQ, all are disposable so we didnt need to bring stuff home!


And the shower really came, for like 10mins, just big droplets! Not even SHOWER! PTL!! God answers prayer!

The pit was more important than ourselves. Hehe.


To our cleverness and convenience... we ended up with this!


Melted stool! FUNNY! LOL.

Anyway, because of the 2nd "shower", camera gotta hid herself in the car to avoid being drench with me. :D

It was an awesome time, because weather was good, no more droplets and MONOPOLY deal! Kept all of us occupied! :))
