things to do for FY2007

was having lunch wif the man and suddenly, many thoughts were streaming thru my mind.

1. to start saving agreesively
- meaning no more extravagant lifestyle.
->if i wanna shop, make sure the things are on discount or i am purchasing them using vouchers
->no more ktv sessions
->no more redundant cab rides
->cut down on mj sessions

2. to finally learn driving
- hopefully, i can get my licence by the end of the year

3. to limit my holiday trip to a max of $600
-> this is for a greater cause man. wanna save up for the big fish. ha! perhaps a europe trip or aussie trip next year!

4. to not be a bum
-> actively make use of my gym membership esp since it is just below my office! no more tubby lard! ha..

5. to sign for stan chart half marathon
-> this year, the timing to beat is 2.5 hours

6. to read widely
-> first, i gotta finish my undercover economist and rachel holidays, i'm taking eons to do so!

7. to pick up diving
-> but of course, this will be the last priority since it is expensive

will come back and add in where i can think of more.
i need a palm top man! ha..to pen down all my thoughts..

happy new year!

ha! i know it's a bit late..but better than never.

spent the new year at ho chih min and i enjoyed myself over there, especially those trips to the cuchi tunnel and the war remnants museum. will most probably head back to the country later this year..but to other parts and hopefully pop by cambodia to visit the magnificent angkor wat!

well, the new year is here and i've make 4 resolutions so far:
1. to know what to speak and what not to speak as well as to who.
bascially, it's just to remind myself to listen more and speak less.

2. to start saving!
came across this article about savings when reading her world. was inspired..(hopefully not just this week) and made a promise to myself that unless i have saved enough in my cushion acccount, if not, no more luxury trips to overseas

3. widen my knowledge
to read and learn more. knowledge is a powerful too and it makes me feel more confident about myself. if time permit (of course my wallet), would like to pick up a new lang. either jap or french? still pondering.

4. better my own half marathon's timing
bascially, there will be 2 runs which i will be participating this year. the AHM and stan chart. did a 2 hr 45 mins for '06 half marathon. could have been much better but i chose the easier way out, and decided to give up by walking halfway.

alright...it's getting hard to maintain the blog. ha..

the neglected

it has been feeling really neglected such that it is haunting me in my sleep. loads of stuff had happened but i guess the more vivid ones are my trainings for the HM.

the BIG race is less than a month ago and i am so not prepared. to make up for lost time, the MAN had told me to run at least 5 times a day including a 2 hours run every weekend. the training officially began on thurs morning when i woke up at 530am but only left the house at 7am to run. ha! what a bum. fri was rest day and i ran another 20 mins b4 blading wif jean at bishan park. blading is soooo fun! opps. i'm digressing. heh..all the mini up slopes were killing me. i actually cheated by walking on the side grass patch. hah...but the down slopes were so exciting. really found myself rolling down.....

well, next sat we will be going to east coast to blade. but i will be doing my 2 hours run (hopefully!) instead of blading as we are gonna party at nite! ha..jean and our new fren are gonna bring us to either butter factory and attica. oooooo...now i have something to look forward to during the week.

oh ya, new year will be spent overseas this year, at ho chih min. i'm gonna miss the MAN =(

anniversary dinner at pete's place. i love the ambience and service there. 2 thumbs up!

sammie's wedding at chevron. congrats!

hanny was in town over the last weekend and together wif hx, we took part in the 10km run!

we did it!

ohh..one of the drinks station along the running route was actually the green man. ha...the MAN got worked up when he heard it. hah..and we saw some guys running wif their gf or wives. what's up man? i thought it's supposed to be a WOMEN'S RUN??!?!?!

after the run, we went to the movies wif nz. prestige is good! highly recommened show to watch..and i have decided to ditch departed due to the bad reviews which i have heard from my colleagues.

we went on to meet up wif hanny's frenz at ice cold beer before proceeding to the outdoor rouge for dinner. food was so-so but i'm a sucker for ambience. so i will be back again.

the programme ended wif ktv at cineleisure. ha..and meeting more of hanny's frenz. just so happened that one of them was jean's friend. what a small world!

retail therapy

wanted to do grocery shopping last evening. instead, i bought a satin blouse and a green skirt. ha..totally had no intention of shopping but the clothes just caught my attention. i think i got quite a good bargain. and during lunch today, bought a turquoise blouse for 23 bucks, 6 pairs of flower earrings for $1.50! and finally i got myself an accessories stand for 10 bucks to display all my earrings and necklaces. horray!

fantasy..

the bf recommended me a new blog popagandhi...he calls it the real shit to read..instead of i****'s blog which i have so religiously read. i mus say...this popagandhi writes with a different style. not all about her life...she really shares her knowledge on gadgets, and her thoughts on stuff...all kinds of stuff...but more of india. haha...whereas the former shares more about herself...and her training. called it narcissism then.

sometimes, i wish, i have a flair for writing and creativity. i hate the boring shitty me! esp when i'm stuck..and things aint within my controk..just like what i'm going through at work now. the thought of quitting is getting stronger and stronger...but i'll always rememeber this,
"pain is temporary. but if i quit, it's forever"

perhaps this is the transition period which i'm so trying to get used to...i need to definitely get my mind off work.. last weekend was fab! celebrated our anniversary at Pete's place and did lots of shopping wif him! and stuff which we have never tried b4...it has been a long while...and we talked and talked...the whole date was AMAZING! i wished next yr's will come soon...

and i finally went gym yesterday. did a 35 min run with a speed of 7.5-8.5km/h. nearly foamed towards the end. i really need to shape up for me 10km run.

painful

i paid to suffer today..all in the name of vanity and beauty.

finally went for facial today as i felt the condition of my face was getting from bad to worse. all the pimple outbreaks and black head. yucks! and the skin on my face is thining...muz be due to the differin gel which i used for my pimples. had this blackhead that was embedded near my nose area for a month! aunty squeezed it out and showed it to me. gross!

as if the facial wasn't painful enuff, i did threading too. pain again!

well, hope the pain and the money spent will pay off. results in 1 week's time?
