Last week was certainly an interesting one ... mainly filled with eating ... eating ... eating.. :)

Met up with Pock Hoe & we had a good dinner @ Crystal Jade Shanghai. Did really enjoy the time catching up & walking around .. tot was really sweet of him when he actually accompanied me to buy my exercise mat, waited patiently while I deliberated over my choices & carried it back for me to his car. Before we headed home, we discovered that the night scene from the 10th floor of Shaw Towers car park is G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S! The clouds hung low that night & reflected the beautiful lights of the buildings lining Orchard ... really awesome!! I was just amazed for quite a while! :)

Funnily enough, spent quite a bit of time with Da Ge last week .. lets see .. we went Great World Ichiban Boshi for lunch & yakked till way past dinner without realising it, only to head to Orchard for ice-cream afterwards..we also had lunch @ Holland Village Crytal Jade (yup ... again!) .. then prior to the BBQ some colleagues had organized on Friday, we had lunch together @ Parkway.. it was sweet! :) So last week was filled with spending time eating, exercising, talking & MARKING exam scripts!! :) Do appreciate how great a listener he is, fun to be with & always looking out for me! :)

Oh! Did I mention I've been exercising quite a lot for the past couple of months? Its been really enjoyable .. love the adreline .. & sometimes even the pain I get from the workouts & strength trainings ... golly, i sound masochistic! The mental & physical endurance is unbeatable! :) I want to keep fit & healthy, go trekking, scuba diving & hopefully one day participate in a trialathon soon! :) So recently am hooked on two things - fitness & korean songs.. haha .. :)

Attended my first two meeting for the China trip .. do like my team mates so far! :).. getting to go on a trip with my kids will be quite something too ... truely looking forward to the trip! :)

Listening to: "Lovers in Paris OST"
Reading: Exam Scripts
Mood: Simply Happy

Am actually feeling a little lazy ... but decided to do a little updating anywaz ... a little discipline always does wonders i believe... :) Lets see .. this weeks ... fabulous. :) Feel really healthy & happy.. special events would be going jogging with my "Da Ge" @ ECP & Dining out with Shi Qi @ Billy Bombers ... wonderful times! :) Also, am confirmed going to Zhang Pu, China with 3 of my GB girls & other people from TOUCH to do some humanitarian work in Nov ... yipee!! Am so looking forward to it!

Things have been terribly trying at work this week ...shed quite a bit of tears but God has been good ... He sent wonderful wonderful people who helped created good memories for me & stood by me in the midst of the painful time. Thank you guys ..

::Highlights of this week would have been >>

1) Graduation Ceremony 2005 -
Thoughts of having the Sec 4s taking the "O"s soon worries me but thinking of them leaving saddens me .. there are quite a no of students in the current batch whom I will definitely miss. Played the keyboards alongside Said on the guitar in accompaniment with the Sec 4 form teachers who sang the song "A whole new world". Stayed till almost 5 plus during rehearsal despite having high fever even when the form teachers singing had left way earlier, leaving only Said & me behind .. but for the Sec 4s .. guess it was worth the effort. Will always cherish the times I get to play alongside Said .. such opportunities might be non-existent soon but I will never forget such a very talented, passionate, funny & earnest colleague, friend & musician.

2) Gym visit & 211 dinner with "Da Ge" -
Spent a good time with my "Da Ge", whom for confidentiality sake shall not divulge his name, hitting the gym together & having a great time dining @ 211 in Holland Village. Time with him is always full of laughs, encouragement & gossiping.. :) So very glad to have him around ... thank you Da Ge! You've been the best!

3) Me tying up my hair in school -
I know this sounds totally ridiculous ... but having me tie my hair up in a ponytail seemed to have created a totally unexpected commotion in school.. everybody .. & I mean everybody .. from the admin staff, to colleagues, to science lab tech to students are commenting & enquiring why I tie my hair .. which is wierd .. because .. doesnt everybody tie & untie their hair from time to time? I was rather bewildered actually ... but think shall stick to it for a while coz kinda of like the way it look on me for the moment.

4) Time out with my best friend-
Finally got to spend quality time with Ping Ping .. haven got to spend time together since our trip to Hong Kong together in June .. in about a months time she will be married & chances of us meeting will be even lesser .. so I cherish our time together very much.

::Interesting Observations/Overheard this week>>

1) The Sleeping Coffee Drinking Lady
Was at Tekka Food Court when we saw a lady sleeping in a sitting position, with a cup of coffee which is already half drunk. Presumably she fell asleep while drinking coffee ... hmmm ....

2) Bad Walking Posture
Was people watching when I observed many ladies in Singapore have bad walking posture.. they either slouch or look like they are terribly uncomfortable in their shoes .. makes me wonder why women have to put up with bad shoes - even if the design is good ... self destruction mode?

3) Motherly Love?
Overheard a mother saying to the teenage son "Everytime I bring you out you always spend so much of my money. Next time I wun buy anything for you." The son replied, "Its called motherly love, mom." I was speechless. Maybe I should try it on my mom next time ... yeah right.
