Sassyjan

is Day 1 of my bi-weekly French class!

Was suppose to meet Jas for Christmas cum New Year dinner,
but turn out to be an impromptu gatthering with some of the rest of the gang.

us girlies!

Introducing our retard babe…

What should I order?

wah. sibei act cute!

me & my favouritest earl grey vanilla

i said something shitty when i was taking this photo. haha

happy us

Jas’s boiboi was away and she was happily long distance call chatting.
So I decided to take a photo of her talking but…

Look like I’m digging her nose & she’s happily laughing away! hahahah

Ben rushed down to meet us the moment he got back to Sg…

all us us minus jiel and chris!

our funny face…

yay-ness!

It’s been a long time since I got acquainted with it.
The feeling of it creeping up to me was frightening.
And then soothing. In a cold familiar way.

We were good friends once.

This loneliness. Or rather emptiness.

This hollow feeling of loneliness after a cheery night out with friends,
and returning back to a cold empty room with nothing that speaks to me.

- - - - -

I miss you, happiness.

Why do you elude me so?

After Martini at Morton’s and dinner at Waraku,
we made an impromptu decision to do mahjong at Jeffrey’s brother’s place.
As we all are not gamblers but treat mahjong like a game/sport…

Sweets as chips!

Barf was the overall winner of the night.

Here’s to a sweet 2009 ahead. Quite very literally!

Love, Peace & Joy to you, you & You!

Jan

As per every other year, I’ve decided to have yet another resolution list
that I will try my utmost best to not Not fulfill it yet again and again.

After having put Driving & Diving license on my resolution list for the past 4 years,
I’ve almost given up and decided this year I’ll drop the diving & just sought the driving,
among many other things that I’ve been planning to do the upcoming year.

I’ve pretty much expected business to be slow and decided to put aside some time,
to upgrade myself and learn some new skills whether for work or for leisure.
I’m also trying to put a more concrete plan in for my ‘Health & wellness’ prog. haha

And so here goes, My New Year Resolution for 2009:
(you can get this spreadsheet here.)

P.s It’s Meet 1 O’frnd every fortnightly. Just realise it looks like 10. Hahah

On top of that, I’ve signed up at TheDailyPlate,
to track my daily calories intake and my exercise output to help me keep track
of my own health and wellness and hopefully reach my ideal figure come 2010!
I love their database that so conveniently churn out everything.
I’ve just tried it for 1 day and am loving it already!

P.s There’s alot of miniature 0.3/0.5 servings coz I’m trying to take less of everything.
Oh… and the Table tennis… It was actually wii boxing & tennis, but yea… hahaha

I’m pretty excited about the year ahead and can’t wait to get started on my classes.
Really just hope that my year ahead would be smooth sailing with zilch tidal waves.

Hope you all have a great planning for the rocky year ahead too!
Don’t forget to look around you and appreciate the people and things that are here,
when the tough gets tougher in the year ahead. *Smile!*

I swam 50 laps today.
(Dy did 28. She’s steadily increasing her laps.)

FWAH! I’m amazed with myself sometimes.

Strangely, I am not tired at all, and am feeling rather randy. Ooh La La!

i love christmas. i love people wishing me merry christmas.
i love hunting around for the best christmas goodies. i love preparing gifts.
i love meeting my clients for something other than plain o’work.

this year lucky me had the help of Jeffrey to go collect the goodies and do my rounds.
after must deliberation, i settled on my fav marmalade pantry and the new canele.

Moét Champagne & Canelé Profiteroles!

Canelé Chocolate Banana Log Cake!

Marmalade’s Christmas Cupcakes!

My mouth’s watering just thinking of the goodies!

Check out how we had to strap up the profiteroles in the car!! haha

Christmas preps had been crazy this year coz of how last minute my plans were.
Even the prezzies for the kids were only wrapped on the day of the party itself.
And Barf’s present is stuck somewhere in between shipping. :X

December had been a rather slow month for me at work.
Much slower than any other Decembers I’ve encountered.
Looks like the economy downturn is hitting much harder than expected.
Besides events that had been budgeted way before the economy took a dive,
almost everyone is keeping their purse strings tied. *sigh*

But there’s still things to be happy about la… like my BBFs… hahaha
we actually did the unthinkable the other day while waiting for a movie to start.
I LOVE OUR WEEKLY DATE NIGHTS TOGETHER!!!

Kawaii!!!

While Maby’s preping for his busy start of 2009 ahead,
Getting his visas and new passport… (Blardy unfair! I want to travel too!)
I’m just tuang-ing here wondering about the upcoming year & keeping things afloat.

Looks like the grim and gloomy Happy New Year/2009 I’ve been wished,
is really becoming a reality. *sigh* GOD, I WANT MORE WORK LEH!

toodles.

I would love to post up the Christmas party pictures,
but Maby have made off with my camera before I could upload it.
So till he’s back on Monday, my blog would still be pic-less.

Hope you all have a great celebration all the way till the end of this 12 days yea!
I’m gonna try to meet up as many friends as I possibly can,
to make up for all the lost time (or rather the time I’ve not spent with them)!

What about you? How are you closing this 2008 and stepping into a new year?

This is way overdue. Barf & Jeffrey had been chasing me for quite awhile.
But since Christmas is just 2 days away and will last for another 12 days,
I figured… Better now if not it would be NEVER! hahaha

• New Hard Disk (Bought by Barf & Jeff!)
I misplaced the hard disk I bought abt 2 yrs ago at the IT Show 2006,
after my mom did a major clean up session in my room.
Had been refusing to buy a new one knowing it’s somewhere in the room.
But I really do need a hard disk. aughhhh!!

• New Blackberry
My Curve 8320 is in quite a bad condition - Scratched and cranky,
but warranty is over coz I procrastinated sending it to the service centre.
I’m deeply in love with the new Bold & would (almost) DIE to get my hands on it.

• Tiffany Teardrop Diamond Ring
An updated version of my Sterling Silver ring. SGD$11,500. ‘Nuff said.

• Vouchers
From any of my regular haunts would be great coz it definitely wouldn’t go to waste.
Essensuals Toni & Guy Hair Salon, The Ultimate Spa, PINC or Good Earth Nail Salon,
Leonard Drake Skin Care & Health Spa, Kinokuniya or Zara.

• Beauty Products
I’m a face mask junkie, any good mask for hydration or pore refining is welcomed.
OR Dermalogica’s Multiviamin Power Recovery Masque, Gentle Soothing Booster,
Solar Defense Booster, Clearing Mattifier, or anything from ChromaWhite range!

• Food
I’m missing alot of friends. And perhaps let’s just meet up and do lunch/dinner!
Nothing like a good o’catch up session over some glorious food!

Okie Dok. The above is a I-WANT-THESE-THINGS list,
and not a PLEASE-ONLY-BUY-ME-THESE-THINGS list.

It’s up because friends want to buy what I want/need so it doesn’t go to waste.
I’m really not the soft toy/photo frame type of girl.
And me ‘half-living’ at Maby’s doesn’t really give me much space for ornaments.
So yea… if absolutely have to get me something, get me the above or yummies.

I’ll stop my healthy diet plan for this festive season. HAHHAHHAHA
