Botanical Gardens excursion

when we reach it was blazingly hot! but i had fun.. at least now we're doing 'healthier' stuff. no longer mj all day or slack n dvd all weekend hee.. i'm glad i got him a camera.. even more so now that his buddy oso got a new camera!! like tt can go out together, tk photos together and compare and learn together! hah.




more photos on fb.. too bad monkey forgot to charge his camera batteries.. halfway thru his camera died.. and we used matt n shermin's camera thereafter..

now.. where shall be the next stop? zoo? east coast? sungei buloh?!?!?!

no more portugal

From Mr Ng:

CRISTIANO RONALDO is OUT of Euro 2008!!!

hahaah

Bee: T^T

Hort Park excursion

we started from alexandra rd.. 'hiked' and 'photo-take' our way to henderson waves..

monkeys spotted along the way.. there are signs on the bridge not to feed them.. but still we see some ppl feeding them sweets!!! no good no good.. next time they expect visitors to feed.. and then if you don't.. they may scratch lei!
i look so cui3 in the photo above, but monkey insists it's 'photo of the day' cos of the effects and 'feel'.. *slaps forehead*

we stopped at henderson waves for more photos and some rest.. before turning back, walk all the way to our starting point, where the car is parked..

tiring.. sweaty.. but feels good lei! all the photo-taking.. hee. i want more!

by the way, thank you monkey for my adiddas running shoes! i love them! and shall use them often hee~

Angela's Live @ Singapore Expo

Courtesy of SY's aunt, i get to watch Angela's Live concert.. my first time watching concert @ Expo!

i didn't know they were invitation tickets.. i didn't know where section AA3 is.. i didn't know i could actually bring camera into the concert!!!

My gosh! I'm like sitting at AA3 row C! That's middle stage 3rd row from the front!!!!! freaking near can?!?! apologies for the lousy photos. that's all my pathetic hp camera could do -_-"..

i must agree i'm ridiculously lucky.. just about a month ago i got free tix (courtesy of qian) to watch David Tao's Live @ Indoor stadium..

now Angela's Live @ Expo! puiee was jealous, but guess she shouldn't be..

cos the concert was okay only, not fantastically great. i mean yeah, Angela's got good & powerful voice.. but no stamina. can't blame her though, could be cos she's still recovering from her condition..

the whole show lasted less than 2 hours.. there's 范范 and 郭静 as special guests, who each sang 1 solo. minus the dances, intervals for Angela to change costumes.. minus the time she was speaking.. do your maths and you could guess roughly how many songs she sang..

for me it was okay, since i din pay for the tix, and i'm anyway not an avid fan of hers..

now now now.. let's see.. will i get to see another concert for free? =P

--counting my lucky stars--

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian...

was the movie we watched over the weekend..

the guy in the photo above is a friend of monkey's satrring in: Chronicles of Narbeh: Prince Casper..

We are the Champions!!!!!

It's a pity I missed the Champions League finals, missed Ronaldo's 26th minute goal, missed Lampard's equalizer, missed Drogba-Vidic drama, missed Ronaldo's penalty miss, missed JT's slip, missed Van der Sar's trick on Anelka.

My goodness! I missed (maybe) the most exciting match this season! *stamps feet*

Then again, thanks to my live commentary frm puiee, dapig and AT..

3:13:40am Ronaldo scored! - frm puiee
3:20:52am 1-0 to man u..26min..ronaldo scored! - frm dapig
3:34:33am Nabei.. 1-1 - frm dapig
5:02:09am So results? - frm bee
5:04:13am into extra time.. - frm dapig
5:22:08am Omg penalties.. - frm dapig
5:35:15am Yes! - frm AT
5:38:29am Fuck yeah! Shootout win! - frm dapig
6:52:44am Haha..Man u won.. - frm monkey
9:14:36am I know. I got live commentary throughout the nite frm sean n alan n jasc haha.
9:29:59am Wa, thanks for e updates lei. Made my sleep so interesting haha! Yeah!!!
10:10:19am Ronaldo miss in the penalty shootout lar.. heng terry hit the post then van der sar save anelka's shot..

Champions of Europe! *wootz*

and i hope Ronaldo's not going anywhere!! He should be staying.. he shall wait for me to GO watch him live at Old Trafford!

super huge Nici Monkey!

from Raffles City Cards n Such @ $129. i couldn't resist it.. so adorable!! there's 1 or 2 more to go to complete the whole set of sitting monkeys.. (they have the lying-don series too).

by the way, that's a real banana.. it's to show the size of the monkey.. =)

yeah. i know. it's quite big. the largest one they have is 2 times bigger.. and costs a BOMB!

I'm going to KL to look for monkey!

Hee, my first time checking in alone, boarding plane and take a flight alone, reach terminal figure out how to take shuttle bus alone, go KLIA then buy train ticket alone, then take express train to hotel alone, check into hotel alone, stay in hotel alone, until monkey comes back from work! then when he goes work the next day, i shall wake up alone, have breakfast alone, explore the hotel/ area alone, go out shopping alone, eat lunch alone, go back hotel alone, then dial room service alone, watch cable tv/ dvd/ work alone, until monkey comes back from work! haha.

i plan to finish some work (no choice if not when i return i'll be stuffed with work), update my blog (esp Beijing trip entries), read up on stuff (eg economist/ country report - aiyo, for work again), do some spa (maybe manicure), SLEEP EAT and SNACK to the fullest!

David Tao Live @ Indoor Stadium

陶喆123我们都是木头人世界巡回演唱会

I'm so lucky! 2 years ago when he came to SG, i was invited to his concert by a friend.. until now, i still think he treated me cos he liked a closer girlfriend of mine, and on my girlfriend's mention, decided to 'ask' me along.. i bet he was hating me for being the light bulb the whole night, not to mention burning a hole in his pocket!

anyhow, tis time round i got to know availability of free tix from qian approximately 2 hrs before the concert! and since monkey was playing mj with matt, shermin and i went to the concert instead!!

we were seated right at the top, second level (S$98 seats).. but were not disappointed at all..

cos he's simply AMAZING!!!!!

really powerful voice, and his RnB techniques.. oh my GOSH!! listening to him sing live makes me so touched! especially songs like 爱我还是他 寂寞的季节 月亮代表我的心 makes me melt lar!!

definitely worth every buck (if i paid for tix).. for the full 3 hours.. i'm so gonna blast his songs on my player!!

looking forward to his next concert in SG!

wHaT tHe FUCK?!?!?!?!

i'm so fucking disgusted with the reasons.. whatever happens to the we're keen to grow you, we want to retain the younger??!?!?!

mOnKeY's company dNd @ Shangri La

70 prizes in the lucky draw.. with top prize of travel voucher over $4000 (i can't remember the exact amt, it could be more)..

great food! esp the "公保蝦丁". free flow of champange, red wine, white wine, beer..

and this is only 1 out of the 3 dnd monkey's company has.. cos too many employees lar.. haha..

definitely much better.. much much better..

You think, I thought, Who confirm?!?!

this 'army term' popped into my mind couple of minutes ago..
how apt.. sometimes i'm sianz of all the you-should-knows..
and then sometimes i expect the whoevers to know..
人就是这样犯贱咯~

BJ trip posts coming up! =P

Monkey makes bee very sad

... (lost for words)

nEw cHaLLeNgEs aHeAd

Ha.. today is a good day.. finally things have come to light. *grinz*

new challenges ahead, excited yet lost at the same time.. just wanna take note of today.. and how i feel about it..

will be taking a short break in Beijing next week.. before diving into it la..

加油加油 我可以的!

Sony H9 - His nEw tOy...

My nEw dEbT.. haha!

Lots of freebies! we bought it at the IT fair..

First semi-pro camera.. so monkey can use the manual functions, while bee uses the auto function like her previous cameras lar! it looks bulky and heavy, but it's not.. hee..

the initial ideas was to get a canon semi-pro or ixus.. budden.. haiz.. the power of IT fair.. so many brands together.. walk here walk there browse here and there, end up buying somehthing else lo..

used ocbc card to pay (interest free instalments).. abt $65 per mth for 1 year.. hee.. participated in the 'wheel of fortune' draw.. and got a $100 spa voucher.. not bad lar.. =)

now monkey ignores bee.. cos he's so happy with his new toy he THINKS bee can wait..

mY sis dReW a mArcH cALenDar fOr mE

she's so sweet hor!

it's now restng nicely on my office calendar.. hee..

i hAvE mAn U jErsEy (finally)

i noe in another 3 mths or so it'll be 'outdated'.. but still.. i love this away jersey alot la! nice design.. and it's a gift frm monkey teoh!

can you believe it?!?!?!? the avid arsenal fan has painstakingly made the effort to visit queensway shopping centre.. and 'shop' for a man u jersey for me! hee.. no number 7 on the back, but it's okie.. i shall imagine there is the 7 and name there.. keke..

the sleeves abit too long, the jersey too, cos it's men's size S la.. but still looks cool lor.. hahahahah i'm so gonna wear it soon!

Anyhow, happy thinking day!

mY fiRsT DoOoDoLL

moa's really sweet.. she bought this 'virgo' dOoOdoLL for me! mr muscles has one too.. but i think mine's so much cuter lar! hee..

i did inted to use it as a mini voodoo doll, using those pins and needles on it.. but currently, it works fine as a key chain! i don't have anyone in mind to use the 'voodoo' on anyway.. heh..

welcome to the family!! learn to live in harmony with my eeyores okie! v(^o^)v

Happy Valentine's Day

lavish gifts? big bouquet of flowers? sumptuous meal at an atas place? nopey nopey.. so commercialized.. any day can be v-day for any couples yeah?

but well, you may also see it as a day slightly different frm the rest, so you can look forward to it amongst the other boring days.. like working days, school days, exam days.. etc. heh.

work is as usual.. but lunch a lil different. met up with ned and wh for lunch at mana korean restaurant, telok ayerst (opp pwc building).. mr muscles recommended the place and okie.. we decided to give it a try lar!

we ordered too much food tho.. each of us ordered a main course and we chose another two side dishes (rice cake and unagi), without realising the complimentary side dishes will be too much for us to bear! hee, so in the end we couldn't finish all the food lar.. but i'd love to gobble them up to the last bit if my stomach has space heh..

**********************************************************************************

as much as i think the occassion is too hyped up by all those business-minded people who want to reap as much moolah as possible on this day.. and that prices of roses inflate like nobody's business, monkey teoh still sent flowers to my office..

from his favorite florist la.. fareast flora lar.. well, i'm touched... and felt abit paiseh la.. but then hor.. if on normal days rite, the flowers will be of much better quality.. either the delivery man didn't take care of the flowers, or overwhelming orders causes the absence of QC.. as you may see, some of the petals look 'squashed'.. like someone pressed on them til they turned a little black..
nevertheless, the fury fury stuff around the flowers compensated for the not-so-perfect roses.. hehe.. quite special la, the design, apparently that was the reason monkey teoh chose this.. different design from the others that he saw.. hmm..

anyway, the flowers came in a box (see pic above).. and i tot it's a pretty good idea yah? can kinda protect the flowers rite.. prevent it frm 'falling' during transportation.. and the bos can be used to keep my stuff in office lei! hehe.. i dun intend to bring the flowers hm.. let it dry in the office and then i'll see where i can place it.. the previous bouquet monkey teoh sent in oct 2007 stil stitting nicely in a corner of my workstation lei..

after work, no sumptuous meal.. number 1. cos too many ppl, too crowded, too overpriced. numbr 2. wanna save money. number 3. i have to work late. number 4. monkey's mama cooked dinner for us liaoz!

end of story fullstop

i noe this is so incoherent but i'm dead beat now. K.O.
