It was an awful rainy day today ; ( (Best time for sleeping, yet I am in here working...) Earlier on, I met up with King Kong for lunch. As I was craving for prawn & pork ribs noodles, we headed to Boat Quay to have my fix : ) Immediately after we left the cafeteria, it started pouring and we had no choice but to run to the nearest building to seek shelter. However, as lunch was only an hour (and he needed to travel back to City Hall), we dashed from buildings to buildings before we reached Chevron House and I lent him a brolly so that he won't be so drenched : /
Yesterday evening, I met up with Fat Boy at Chevron House before heading to Toa Payoh Central to meet up with his family members. It was his mother's birthday (and I must say I didn't want to go initially, but since the latter kept asking me to go, I found it hard to reject) and we had dinner at a coffee shop before heading home to catch my drama serials : )
Just fixed my sugar rush - Sneaked out of the office with Adeline to buy fruits (I had mango, watermelon and pineapple ; ) ) I guess it's very important to have short teabreaks, but unfortunately, it was not in the company culture (We are not robots, Boss)
Anyway, who cares? The time now is 4:32pm. Another hour and a half and I am out of here, whether he likes it or not!

23 May 2008
It had been a wonderful Friday because I was on leave (which gave me the chance to snooze the whole day! : )) Met up with Adeline and the rest at Chevron House before going for an ice cold at Timbre along the Singapore River to commemorate Chris's post-last day with the company : ) As we were meeting Rightie for dinner at 7 pm, we gulped our beer before rushing to Mosque Street (Imagine the amount of gas released from our bodies : P )
It was a tiny Korean restaurant tucked in the corner - I would not have known the existence of this place if not for Rightie's recommendation : ) We were lucky to get a table after 15 minutes : ) (It could have been 30 to 45 minutes : /) Had the restaurant's specialty of BBQ pork belly, crispy pan cake, nian gao with maggi mee and ginseng chicken soup. I must say that though the dishes tasted not bad, they were not suited to my tastebuds. Bring on the steak~!~! : D Hahaha...
We proceeded to Barfly and I had my usual strawberry margarita : ) Just when I was least expecting, I was thrown into a big surprise planned by them - A birthday cake from Nectarine
: D (I am so grateful to them for all the groundwork!) After all the singing, chattering and gossiping, we left the place because Veggie Gal had to meet her boyfriend : / We accompanied her to wait for him and I was taken aback when the latter wished me "Happy Birthday". Didn't want to accept his well wishes, but for the sake of Veggie Gal, I thanked him with a smile (Argh!)
As the night was still young, we decided to head to Lunar, which was a stone's throw away from Barfly. On our way there, Veggie Gal's boyfriend caught a glimpse of Sunshine Boy and became berserk - He screamed and shouted at the latter, who remained nonchalant (Wow, I didn't know that he was so cool!) Veggie Gal intervened by standing in between the two guys and pacifying her boyfriend. As I was afraid that she might get hurt during the tussle, I grabbed and pulled her by the side, as a result, her boyfriend unwittingly stepped onto my poor toes (which he later apologized) : / Anyway, the showdown ended abruptly when Veggie Gal's boyfriend was pulled apart by his friend..
As planned, we went to Lunar and had a great time of our lives by shaking our booties (Yes, only Adeline and Rightie : / ) to the Cantopop, English, Chinese and Hokkien numbers : ) Left the place at about 2 am when beauty sleep started to call for attention : P
Fat Boy sent me home and when we were about to reach home, I broke news to him that I wouldn't be able to spend time with him on the eve of my birthday (which is today) He turned silent and later asked who I would be spending the day with. I mumbled "A friend". He sent me up and left, which made me feel...lost. I really have no idea what I should do now. To call or not to call? That's the question. Even if I call, what should I tell him? Will we get entrapped in the same old vicious cycle again?
Lost.

Going Mad
The time now is 2:13pm. Oh my god..another 4 hours to go before I am released : / Due to the foodtaster project, I am overwhelmed! There are phone calls looking for "Joanne" every single minute and I have to repeat my lines of "...this is a 2 year contract which you have to taste all kinds of food like pork, beef, mutton, seafood..." (Argh!) It didn't help that I wasn't feeling too well (My nose was runny : ( and I felt like an inferno )
Met up with Rightie, Adeline and Veggie Gal for dinner at The Secret Garden in Middle Road yesterday. It was a good all-girls' gathering with good food (I had medium-rare ribeye steak washed down with Heineken : ) ) Guess what left my tongue tingling was its specialty dessert, Hot Date - a warm and toasty dark chocolate brownie accompanied by a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream (Wow wow wow) We had a heart-baring session regarding love triangles, guys and sorts. I was indeed touched to know that they are willing to be there for me, share my problems and be good listeners (unlike my Sworn Sista : ( ) I promise to be there for them should they come across obstacles too : )
Last Sunday, after an oily lunch of chicken rice and oyster veggie at Margaret Drive, both Fat Boy and I went to Bugis to purchase goodies and toys for the ritual in the later evening. Reached at about 6:20pm and the moment I placed the goodies and toys by the side of the tablet, I couldn't help but sob : ( King Kong tried to console me, but to no avail : / Performed the ritual of carrying the tablet while walking the self-made "bridge" and it was wrapped up by burning paper houses and joss paper (I think I am still feeling sad :~ ( )
Right now, the phone calls continue to bombard me..oh my god...I am dying.
Help.

Cold Shoulder
Met up with my university mates for my pre-birthday dinner at Jack's Place in Marina Square after losing some pounds (from water retention : P) through massage and cold wraps : ) Pleased to meet up with them, especially Skinny Bones, once again. Got to know that the latter has been fretting about his hair-thinning problem and is contemplating professional help; he asked for my advice and I was telling him to go for it if it posed as an hindrance to his confidence level : / Guess each and everyone of us here has an image problem and many a time, professional help (which also means money) is the only solution : / (I wish I were richer)
During dinner, received an SMS from King Kong that the tablet was up and running, which gave me a nagging feeling that I must go and have a look. Excused myself after a hearty dinner of garlic steak and lobster bisque to purchase sweets, marshmallow, strawberry milk and chocolate biscuits from Carrefour before catching up with them for coffee session : / As usual, we spoke about matters of the heart, weddings as well as friendships - Shared with them my disappointment with Sworn Sista and they tried consoling me with the rationale of "everybody's busy with their work and other half; it's unintentional" : ( Regardless, nobody or nothing can change the fact that I am truly disappointed in her. However, it was great to let out steam by having them as listeners..
Parted ways earlier as Zhaoxin was feeling unwell. Lugging the heavy bag of goodies, I took a cab to Pasir Ris Drive 1, where the temple celebrations was held (The fare was 20 bucks : ( ) Saw King Kong and gave him the cold shoulder (Actually, I was quite happy to see him, but I just couldn't bring myself to show it on my face) Walked to the area where all the tablets were placed and he pointed to the one with my name. At that very moment, I felt like bursting into tears because I had been feeling tremendously guilty all along. Fortunately, I was able to control my emotions and I placed the goodies on the ground before offering incense. As I didn't know what I should do after that, I stood by the side and wondered if "he" was present (Even so, is there any chance that I can see "him"?) Sensing that I was in a daze, King Kong brought me round the place and I guess I just didn't have the mood to stroll around and be fascinated by the bustling of the other temple helpers : /
Decided to leave after a short while as I didn't want to be engaged in any unnecessary argument with him. Guess the earlier SMSes which explained how disappointed I was when his hands and legs were tied last Monday (I didn't make any mention about how unbalanced I felt during his absence) sufficed - No further explanation was needed. I guess it's too exhausting trying to make things work...It might be easier for the both of us to remain as good friends.
Anyway, recently, maternity instincts seem to kick in - I want to have a baby boy to love and care for. I do not mind the hardship and such...Could it be that I am getting on age, hence, the longing for a kid?
I don't know.

The Last 2 Days...
Guess time passes faster this week (I was on MC on Monday : P) Went to JB with Fat Boy (Yes, Fat Boy) - Initially, he did not want to go because he said he was "tired", but after much persuasion, he agreed! Yay! (I must say that I was very pissed off because it was planned; I gave in because I needed that haircut and pedicure! : P ) Ultimately, it was worth it as I had my pedicure (I had my dark blue toenails paintwashed to beautiful fiery red : ) ) and my "Different Lengths" snipped to precise equal length : D (It has been a long long time waiting for it to grow) After a mini-revamp and a good aromatheraphy session, both Fat Boy and I watched "Ironman" - Initially, I had qualms about watching it despite hot reviews from Adeline, Sunshine Boy and the rest, because I did not quite like Robert Downey Jr (He was so-so in Ally Mcbeal : /) and I believed that it couldn't be better than Spiderman and boy, I was absolutely wrong! He was superb in the show and his acting was so smooth...He was practically Tony Stark...(Damn! How could I not love him in the first place?!) Reached home at 1:30am and I was almost dead from fatigue from the traveling and the lack of beauty sleep..
Tuesday was a disaster when I went back to the office. Feeling feeling frustrated from sleep deprivation and lonely with Adeline's absence (She was on urgent leave)
: ( I just wanted to go home and every single minute to stay awake was a torture. It didn't help that calls were flooding in like nobody's business and I couldn't recall how I brushed each and every caller off : ( Finally, I left the office on the dot and headed straight home. Doggy-packed mixed veggie rice home and nearly got into a tussle with the hawker - She refused to increase the portion of braised cabbage despite repeated requests (as if I wouldn't want to pay for that extra portion : ( )
Had my dinner of mixed veggie rice consisting of braised cabbage, braised beancurd strips, curry chicken and soya-sauced beancurd, washed down with Yeo's chrysanthemum tea (Life's so wonderful...) Watched TV and flipped the newspapers before deciding to nap for a while before watching the 9pm drama serial (As you have guessed it, I overslept : P )
It was fantastic to sleep for almost 12 hours : D Feeling refreshed and energetic, I woke up before the alarm rang and got ready to work in tip-top condition : ) (Best not to do it too often, I still have a life, you know!) Anyway, I am still very bogged down by that incident..I really have no idea what I should do..Time is running out; there is no way I can continue to drag..(It's too unhealthy for me)
The time now is 5:32pm. Another 30 minutes more I knock off! I am so happy...

Hanging On...
It has been an eventful week. After attending the last minute facial at Aunt Helen's, I met up with Fat Boy for Scissors Curry Rice. Though I noticed that he had been quiet and slightly unhappy, I did not ask him (I guess it must be due to last Wednesday's appointment which I postponed) Proceeded to Downtown East after the reticent dinner and while strolling around the building, he hinted that I was a liar a couple of times; I snapped and insisted he give me an explanation. He did and as expected, it was due to the complicated relationship between King Kong, himself and me.
Both of us flared up and I got angrier and angrier when he increased his sarcasm level >: ( I demanded that I wanted to collect my bag from his boot and go straight home as I had no mood to stroll around. We got into his car and ignoring my request to stop his sarcasm, he continued his yakking. I reached my boiling point; got out of the car and stormed off to hail a cab. He gave chase and attempted to pull me back to the car. Feeling extremely lost and angry, I got hysterical and cried loudly (in public, oh my god - I think I even threw my bag on the pavement ) He had a hard time persuading me to go back to the car and finally, he pulled me by my hand and together, we walked back to the carpark (During the process, I guess I saw a couple of passersby throwing brief glances at us. Oh my god!)
He sent me home and during the journey, I couldn't stop wailing :~ ( I felt sad as I couldn't understand the existence of the issue - Had I been too willful to the extent that I couldn't get back to the right track, or that he was simply not the one I had been looking for, just that I couldn't let him go?) All thoughts raced through my mind and the more I thought, the harder I wailed :~ ( He mentioned that he could no longer tolerate the existence of King Kong and I had to consider carefully before coming to a decision: To be or not to be with him (Yes, he threw me the ultimatum) I told him I would give it a serious thought and get back to him once I had come to a conclusion. We parted and when I called him on his mobile phone, he refused to pick up and I got nervous. After the 20th missed call, he finally picked up and said he was fine; I almost died of anxiety : / (Can you imagine that my swollen eyes looked like fishballs stuffed with meat that night?)
Seriously, I have had no idea what I should do right now. One is a guy whom I have spent 6 years of my life with. Visualized him to be my hubby, but due to certain issues that cropped up during our wedding preparations, I've lost all faith in him - couldn't see any future with him. However, I believe if I were to untie the knots in me, he would be a very good and stable Significant Half despite our differences in thinking, characteristics and the way of doing things. He is somebody whom I look up to and I always take his advices and opinions in serious consideration (Just that there are taboo topics, like our future, that we try to avoid)
Another one is somebody whom I have known for a year. He has what I have been looking for, in terms of physique and characteristics, except money, which I placed great emphasis on. Initially, during the period when both Fat Boy and I separated, I visualized him to be a good boyfriend who loves to shower all his love on me with his fuss and cooking. However, due to some monetary issues, I decided that he was not for me as I wouldn't want to lead a life full of financial issues. Though he has tried his best to fill up the financial gap by working part-time after office hours several days per week, he has no time for me : ( However, I also believe that if I were to lower my financial expectations, we would be quite happy together. Unlike Fat Boy who gives me the impression that he is always a step ahead of me, the former is walking alongside with me. He is somebody whom I can yak non-stop; just that I cannot mention anything about Fat Boy (He would be angry)
Argh! Both are good..what should I do?
God help me.

Friday Blues
Met up with Sworn Sista for dinner at Sushi Tei in Takashimaya yesterday evening. Had not much of an appetite; not sure if it was due to the pending anger during 20 minutes that I had waited for her, the bowl of soupy bee hoon I had for lunch or just simply, the fear of putting on weight : / Anyway, had a good time catching up with her and I am so happy that she will be having her customary wedding this coming September : ) (It has been 3 years since she signed the papers)
Had a slow walk in the shopping mall after dinner and I was stunned when she asked me when would my turn to don on the wedding gown. I told her that I was not at all ready and it would not be fair to my other half. Frankly speaking, it would definitely be nice to start a new chapter with somebody you love and want to spend the rest of your life with. It would also be so exciting to attend wedding photoshoots and come up with all kind of cutsie poses and facial expressions in front of the camera, try into all kinds of colourful and beautiful day and night gowns just for the big day and of course, be the centre of attraction when you and him march into the ballroom during the banquet. However, these are nothing if either one is simply not ready to do so. What's the point of going through so much hassle only to go back to square one? Not for me.
Glad that she understood my point and she agreed to my thoughts. Somehow, at this single point of time, it's very important to have somebody to fully understand your predicarment : ) Anyway, time is always short whenever we meet up; her husband drove to pick us up and we parted ways, promising to meet up for dinner in the next few weeks : )
Gee, the small dark patches on my nose refused to disappear no matter what I do :~ ( (Guess I had hurt the outer skin when I exerted too much force in trying to purge the bloody blackhead : ( ) Frustrated and feeling impulsive (once again), I bought a small bottle of SK II treatment essence for 96 bucks (Had a 50 buck Takashimaya voucher, so it was not so tough on my pocket : P) Tried it and wow, it was not called "miracle water" for nothing; my face looked and felt smoother and it was more hydrated : D However, the dark patches refused to go away and I believed they needed time to do so : / The thing is that I needed to turn up for a SPI event at St James tomorrow and I heard of news that the gang would be celebrating my birthday (I need to look pretty!)
Exasperated, I have cancelled my dental appointment for facial at Aunt Helen's. I must make sure that she purge all the dirt from every single pore and remove the dark patches on my nose! Just as well, I realized that the longer the dark patches remain, the more I would touch them and the longer they would heal. Forget it! I intend to clear my pores before applying the "magic water". In this way, my money would be put into better use : D
Damn! Tomorrow, I have to go to the Branding Workshop in Ann Siang Hill at 9:30am.... : x

Itchy Fingers
I hate my itchy fingers : ( Last Saturday night, after a refreshing shower, I looked myself into the mirror and saw clogged pores on my nose and cheek. Feeling uncomfortable and worried that they might morph into moles if I left them be, I decided to squeeze them out, which is a big no-no (and yes, ultimately the skin around the area broke and I was left with dark red spots
:~ ( ) Nervous, I applied loads of pimple lotion on it and hoping they would disappear in no time (I was wrong - When I woke up the next morning, they were still there. God help me!)
Feeling unpretty and sick, I met up with King Kong for lunch at Kim Gary HK Cafe in Vivocity and when he said that he needed to report for his valet job at about 5:30pm, I flared up (Yes, my bad because sometimes I am not even sure myself for whatever reason I get upset with) He suggested calling in and said that he would not be available for that evening, but I decided that it would not be nice to do so. Window-shopped, went for ice cream at Swenson's before he sent me home : /
Currently, the red spot on my cheek has somewhat subsided (Yay for Oxy!) Now waiting for the red spots on my nose to disappear as well : ( Initially, had the idea to quickly rush down to Aunt Helen's to fix the problem, but I guess it's time to resolve it myself, else I would be broke in no time : / Besides, from what I've heard from Adel; having facials on a constant basis may cause the immunity level of the skin to drop. Gee, perhaps, I should not touch it in the first place : /

Dark Circles
Was caught in a severe traffic jam on our way home on the Causeway last Thursday (Yes, I went to Johor Bahru after blogging : P ) Both Fat Boy and I were almost dead with fatigue (The time was 1am) despite having a wonderful time wolfing down chicken nasi bryani, enjoying foot massage and watching "The Forbidden Kingdom" : ) By the time my head touched the pillow, it was almost 3am (Dead)
As I had only 4 and 1/2 hours of beauty sleep, the moment the morning alarm went off, I contemplated MC (You've heard it right - MC) but decided not to as I thought I had to deal with candidates who would be offered by clients (Critical eh!) and the best part was....Boss was not in the office! Hahaha...he had gone for his holiday in Maldives, presumably with his girlfriend (Lucky him!) However, there were some critical issues like late payroll and delayed Employment Pass application that required his immediate attention : ( Fortunately, Sharon mitigated the situation...(Heaved a sigh of relief) : ) Left the office on the dot and met Fat Boy for dinner. As I was so sick of pretentious food once again, we went to have my favorite Scissors Curry Rice : D~ before proceeding to Orchard Road for shopping - Bought a pair of silver patent ballet flats for 25 bucks : )
As for today, finally, I went for my 2nd treatment - Tried the hot blanket treatment (that literally melts my fats away) and my favorite cold wrap (Wow! To think I actually loathed it earlier on)! After an hour of luxurious treatment, I met up with King Kong and we strolled around Marina Square and Suntec City before having tunch at a Hong Kong cafe. The food that we ordered were not fantastic and I believed that would be our 1st and last visit : / Met up with Wynne for dinner and King Kong stayed for a while before he left for his part-time job (Argh!)
After settling the bill, both Wynne and I went to Bugis Junction for shopping (She wanted to buy a white top for her friend's wedding) Ultimately, she bought a white and black racer back top...While waiting for her outside the changing room, I looked myself into the mirror and realized that I had severe dark circles *Flabbergasted* Nervous and sick, I pulled her to the beauty counters and asked for SKII samples, as I had heard Fat Boy's colleague singing praises of the brand during the BBQ. Unfortunately, they had run out (I suspect the beauty consultant lied to brush me off so that she could use those samples on her own face : ( and the worst thing was that she tried to use pressure selling by saying there was a 15% promotion that would last till Monday) I walked off as I wouldn't pay 150 bucks without trying how magical the essence was : / Wynne agreed and she recommended Bio-Essence to me. Feeling receptive and hopeful, I bought a 24K Anti Dark Circles Gold Essence for 34 bucks : /
Have already applied a small amount around my dark circles and I could see that the area is not as dark (Come on, that's psychological : P ) Regardless, I will continue to use it and see what happens... @_@

Happy Labour Day
Feeling very wide-awake now (How not to be when I woke up at 12 noon? : ) ) Had a small bowl of angel hair with bologinaise cooked by Aunt Maddy before she left for work : ) Gee, it's such a wonderful feeling to slack at home and being paid (Yes, public holidays are paid)
Went to a BBQ party with Fat Boy yesterday evening. It was organized by his colleague (another sales director from another division) and I thought since I had met her and the rest in the last Phuket trip, why not? (Besides, I knew Jennifer would be there too!) Her 3-storey house was located in Jalan Adif and I must say it was so beautiful! (It's so nice to be rich) Anyway, had a great time tucking into the generous spread of tiger prawns, chicken fillet, satay and sting-ray as well as indulging in hot topics like wedding, sex, men, religion in our sharing sessions : D Just when we had such a great time chatting while sipping Jim Beam and coke, one of the colleagues' husband arrived and the atmosphere changed - He was slightly drunk, spouting nonsense as well as poking fun at everybody. Feeling pissed, both Jennifer and I excused ourselves and went to the washroom (to discuss our "exit strategy") Went back and witnessed him poking fun at Fat Boy. Shot him back and had a brief bicker before I left, feeling victorious : D Hahaha...
Last Tuesday evening, I met up with King Kong at dinner and drinks. It had been a week since I met up with him and instead of feeling pissed due to certain issues that occurred the previous Monday, I felt kinda happy, but worried at the same time (Was unsure if we would have arguments again. Anyway, decided to storm off if that happened : () Had dinner at the nearby coffeeshop before making our way to Loof - Nice environment to chat and absorb the atmosphere : ) Ordered potato wedges and 2 rounds of Heineken (Dammit, no wonder I feel so fat) Though we did not talk much that night, I fully understood what was going on his mind and I guess he felt the same way too. Left after a bunch of gays arrived and we strolled to the bus-stop before hopping onto Bus 51.
What an irony - Sometimes, I want him to have all the time in the world for me yet just leave me completely alone; just like how I want him so much, yet couldn't see any future with him; equivalent to wanting to get married to one yet still want the both of them by my side forever. Dammit. What am I thinking?
