luckily my friday wasn't ruined at work..and i managed to get out of e office earlier than usual..so went to meet dear and his group of friends at Central for dinner. we had ramen at tis restaurant introduced by dear..then went over to The Mind Cafe for 2 hours' of games and fun before it was home sweet home. and i caught a pretty good sleep dat night!
next day, i celebrate my dad's bday in advance wif my family by having ala carte dim sum lunch at Fortunate Restaurant at toa payoh. e variety and quality of e food is nt bad, and glad my parents had no complaints but anyway they were e ones who chose e place haha. after dat, i headed off to meet dear for our movie - Love Happens, then decided on dinner at Food For Thought..tried their desserts e other time, so now tried their mains. i kinda like e place coz it gives me a homely feel..and their food is quite good! anyway after dat, we walked over to Coffee Nations, tis other cosy cafe where we slacked e rest of e night away..sipping on our ice-blended frappe, enjoying a warm lava cake and playing scrabble =)
as for today, instead of staying home e entire day..i headed out again..think i'm kinda used to spending my sundays out in e day..provided i dun haf dat much work to clear over e weekend. anyway coz i wanted to get my fringe straightened, so went over to e usual home salon at Jurong. dear accompanied me there and after lunch at JP, we went back to his house to do our work stuffs as i brought my laptop along.
i'm actually typing tis post at his house..so later when i get back home, i will haf dinner and probably catch some tv programme..and then head to bed! after being quite unlucky at work these few weeks, i seriously hope all tis bad luck will juz go away and leave me alone till e end of tis year!

friday and the weekend was somehow affected by work..but nevertheless, i still enjoyed myself..thanks to e great company from dear and my friends!
on fri, my mood was already ruined at work in e day and was worsened by e late afternoon..such dat it affected my chill out session wif maxine and edison. first of all, we had to haf a rushed dinner at Vivo's Burger King coz i was stuck at work till bout 7.45pm and maxine made a reservation at Bellini Room @ St James at 8.30pm. anyway at Bellini Room, due to my ruined mood and wif an urgent work issue to settle dat night (even though i've already left office), i really cldnt relax and enjoy myself much. feel quite bad bout it..but at e later part, i tried to relax abit more, especially wif maxine trying her best to cheer me up. i'm really lucky to haf such nice friends =)
on sat, dear & i actually made plans to go to Botanic Gardens for a walk and have lunch there as well. but last min i had to go to a supplier's place and had to cancel dat plan..so met dear straight at aljunied and we had dim sum lunch at tis coffeeshop while waiting for e supplier to provide his exact address so i cld go over..ended up it was a wasted trip coz of some reasons which i'm too lazy to elaborate. so dear & i decided to make a trip to e temple at paya lebar since it's pretty nearby. after dat, we travelled down to great world city for our movie - My Sister's Keeper which was really touching. after e movie, i went home for dinner coz i wanted to haf an early rest to prep myself for e Great Eastern Women's 10K e next morning.
i had by far, one of e most programme-packed sunday this weekend since i started working. the GE run started at ard 7am..and cand, hui & i had our "supporters" who accompanied us there so early as well =) i cld really feel e sense of accomplishment after completing e 10km coz i didnt stop alot during e run! anyway after dat, all of us went for mac breakfast and sat there to chit chat for some time before we went our seperate ways. i then went wif dear and his friend to raffles city to slack at gloria jeans for bout an hour before going over to a vendor's place to collect something..then made my way back to compasspoint to meet ling and min to buy stuffs to cook at my place. we were having an early celebration for min's bday and decided on picnic and kite flying.
so after whipping up a few dishes, we went down to e open field opp my block, laid out e picnic mats and started flying our kites. and then when jinx arrived, it was time to pig out on our homecooked food..yummy! =p we sat there till it got pretty dark, then packed up and headed home. so now i'm home typing tis post after doing e cleaning up. really maxed out my day today..feeling tired and muscle aches all over..but still feel a great sense of fulfillment =)
happy weekends make me put aside my worries and unhappiness for e timebeing..but then it's back to e crashing reality when e weekend comes to an end. well it's ok i'll juz look ahead and anticipate more happy weekends!

here's my weekly dose of updates!
fri - i was rushing a proposal till bout 9pm and dear was also held up at work..so after we left our offices, we went straight to meet dear's parents and their property agent to settle some issues for their new house..and dinner was settled at e coffee shop nearby. we headed home after dat since it was already quite late.
sat - i went for volunteering at Touch, as they were having a late mid-autumn festival celebration for e elderly. even though i was unfamiliar wif most of e volunteers (newbies frm uni), i'm still glad i went..coz it brightened me up to see e spontaneity of the elderly and hear their words of thanks and appreciation after e activities. having been so embroiled in my hectic work, i've realised dat i've almost forgotten how seeing the happy faces of the less fortunate whom i've helped in some way or another, can really make me smile with my heart.
anyway after e celebration, i went to meet dear at boon keng mrt and we headed down to sengkang..had lunch at MOS Burger before going over to my house to slack for a while, then went for our jog. it's been quite some time since i went for my weekend jogs *guilty*. after e jog, we went back up to rest for a while before going back downstairs to fly our kite. unfortunately e strong wind did nt last for long so we only stayed out for a while..then had our shower and took a straight bus to changi airport. dinner was at Sakae Teppanyaki at T3..we tried tis 2-person set meal which had quite a variety of items and best of all, my fav salmon sashimi! after dat, we walked ard e place for an hour plus and it was home sweet home. i love random visits to e airport..makes me feel like juz jetting off to somewhere! nvm my bangkok trip is coming up soon =)
sun - i went to tiong bahru's coffee bean to do my work instead of doing it at home. sitting there, typing at my laptop, makes me think of e times i used to spend having project discussions there..come to think of it, i actually miss doing school projects! at least it's a team effort, and everyone can help rack their brains together.
alright, now i need to relax abit by going to watch some tv..and start thinking bout wat to do for e weekend..though sun is more or less set already..i'll be going for e Great Eastern Women's 10k Run wif cand & hui and possibly be flying kite wif my JC pals in e evening. so weekend, pls come quick again!

i had a pretty bad week at work..met up wif some issue and it made me troubled e entire week. so ended up dat my fav day of e week was a black one. cldnt wait for e day to end so i cld go unwind. i left e office only at 8 plus, and went wif dear to meet his friend (e bday girl) for dinner first before walking down to e Wisma IndoChine to chillout, together wif dear's good friends. at least e company, drinks and live music helped ease away some of e lousy feelings in me. i left after midnight and cabbed home..e only thing i wanted to do then was to knock out on bed and sleep away e blackness of e day.
sat morning, i woke up feeling better..and went wif my family to my cousin's place for her baby girl's full month celebration. i now have another adorable niece =) after i left my cousin's hse, i went to Vivo to meet dear..we actually had plans to attend e opening party of tis new place called Wavehouse Sentosa coz some person i knew thru work sent me an invitation..but after slacking at Vivo for an hr or so, we decided to change our plans of going into Sentosa as i was feeling quite tired..and dear wasnt as keen as well..so we headed back to his house to rest before fulfilling our dinner plans at Founder's Ba Ku Teh..his parents came along wif us as they've nv tried e ba ku teh there before. went home after e dinner and again, went straight to bed coz i was feeling really sleepy..i guess e week has really drained me out mentally and emotionally.
today, i had almost 12 hours of sleep..though it still cant compensate for e lack of sleep during weekdays..but anyway at e last min, i decided to go to e temple to pray so asked dear along and we met in e afternoon to go to e temple at Si Ma Lu and after dat walked over to Iluma for ice-cream before i headed home and dear went to meet his ex-colleagues for his farewell celebration. yup my dear has moved on to a new job..happy for him..hope everything will go smoothly for him! dat's y i felt it'll be good for him to pay a visit to e temple today as well.
well..after last week's issue..though it's more or less resolved..i'm still feeling quite down bout e whole thing..but i will not let it get to me..and will emerge tougher!

simple plans for e weekend..but still enjoyed every bit of it =)
completed an event on friday..and managed to siam having dinner wif my clients..so went to tiong bahru to meet dear and his family who were going to view a flat in dat area..yeah my dear's finally gonna move out of jurong west and moving closer to me =p. anyway after e flat viewing, dear and i juz slacked at Coffee Bean, enjoying our drinks & dessert and surfing e net wif my laptop till it was time to go home.
had some family time on sat..wif for lunch wif my parents and sis at balestier area. then went to meet peiling and jl at katong..had katong laksa for dinner and desserts at Obolo. after which, it was home sweet home..one of e rare times dat i was home quite early for a sat!
anyway woke up pretty early today to meet dear for KFC breakfast at PS..then we headed down to Cine to meet cand and jer to catch e thriller movie - Sorority Row, which was suggested by cand..we were practically covering our eyes throughout e movie haha. after dat we did some shopping at Far East..and i got myself a working top at e first shop i stepped in..but cant beat cand who got herself 3 items at the first 3 shops she went into..haha. anyway after dat we spiltted for our own activities, and dear & i went to Border's Bistro for drinks and dessert (realised dat i haf been eating desserts e entire weekend..oops). anyway e waitress told us bout tis tea time special dat they had..we cld enjoy any cake and free flow of our selected drink at only $8! think it is really worth it coz their cakes already cost bout $8 per slice. anyway dear & i had 2 servings of our drink..was feeling so 'zhang' after dat..haha. we then went off to view another house at telok blangah wif dear's parents before dear sent me home.
i'm glad my weekends r really well spent..to compansate for my hectic weekdays where i simply juz cant afford e time to enjoy them. well it's gonna be back to another hectic week..i dun even feel like thinking bout it..i shall juz go straight to thinking bout e upcoming weekend..which i already haf plans in place =)

it was a hectic and stressful week for me..i really cldnt wait to unwind during e weekend!
on fri after work, i joined dear at a gathering with his colleagues and ex-colleagues. we settled our dinner at Miss Clarity Cafe, then went to the restuarant at the Mint Museum for drinks..e alcohol really made me feel kinda high..great for unwinding..haha.
on sat, it was our RP gals chalet which we had booked some time back. though our initial bbq plans and mid-autumn celebration didnt happen..i still had an enjoyable time! we met for lunch at Tampines 1, checked into Aloha Loyang at ard 3pm and started with playing texas holdem and mahjong. ard 6 plus, we left e chalet and headed down to katong for our ktv session at tis ktv place introduced by cand. we had our packed dinner in e room and sang till 11 plus..then dear and i with hui and xq returned back to e chalet for another round of mj..we managed to catch a few hours of sleep b4 checking out. then went to haf breakfast at BK and it was home sweet home for me..was still very tired so concussed for a few hours when i got home.

gonna do a quick update of e weekend..
fri i had an event at changi area so dear & i actually made plans to go to changi airport for dinner. unfortunately, after e event ended, i had to return to office to clear some work..so my understanding dear waited for me till 9pm and we headed to clark quay for dinner instead. we settled dinner at tis jap restaurant we came across which had some dinner promotion..e food was nt too bad for its pricing..dessert was Sun With Moon's lovely tofu cheesecake and we tried their chocolate mousse as well =) after dat, we spent some time sitting by e riverside before heading home.
sat, dear came over to my place for a morning jog and we had yummy mac breakfast after dat. i love saturday mornings spent like this! beats sleeping in late and wasting a quarter of e day away. our afternoon plans had to be changed as we were kinda behind schedule by e time we left my place..and we didnt noe wat to do before our movie booked at 7pm..so we did sth random (difficult to explain over here) and ended up at United Square..which is good..coz dear has nv been there b4. so we settled our lunch there..then went over to Square 2 for coffee at Tully's Coffee and did some window shopping before heading to Vivocity for our movie - The Ugly Truth - a pretty good choice of movie to soothe my frayed nerves this week. lastly, we grabbed a late dinner and it was time to go home.
today, i tried to get up earlier to do some work before going over to ling's place for mj wif e gals till 7pm then returned home. was glad i took some time off for e mj session with them..helped take my mind off work for that few hours..been feeling quite stressed over work this week..many events lined up for the coming weeks..and a few proposal deadlines to meet as well.
i really need e strength and energy to fight on during this period..and i need to stay positive!
