quickie

Chop chop one before i collapse in exhaustion.

Weekend events are for the young and sprightly. Seriously. Am getting too old, need weekends to allow my body to recuperate :( 

Singapore's Punggol By-Election was held today - interesting stuff. Not gonna comment too much seeing how i probably have nothing useful to contribute on this already extremely hot topic.

Finally finished major purchases including bed, table, shelf and drawers for my room which I've wanted to redo for AGES. Refusing to let the fact that I simply have too much demands and stuff to fit into my room (which is slightly larger than a shoe box), I actually managed to configure everything in a way that everything FINALLY has its place. Yay.

I may now be poor BUT AT LEAST I CAN MOPE IN MY AWESOME ROOM AND FEEL BETTER.

Next week is gonna be another mad rush.

SO FREAKING TIRED.

Apologies for totally fragmented post.

Must be synapses slowing down cos of age and wear and tear.

and so this is how it ends (again)

Wow that was fast.

Ha, didn't even last 3 out of the 21 days.

And on hindisght, it is probably for the best that I shouldn't blog everyday cos I'm really not that interesting.

Case in point  :

Friday night - Mj, did a sweeeeeet ban se pong pong (zi mo sommore!), but still somehow managed to lose $60, had a nice conversation w the normster otw home whom I haven't met in AGES

Sat - work (where i almost died on 2hours of sleep), rewarded my own perseverance with awesome baja fresh burrito and guacamole and crashed by 8pm

Sun - work, bought pink lipstick, rosti and les mis

Nonetheless I guess the reason why I'm still bothering with an online account of my pretty standard, meh life is so I am finally accountable to people who actually read (hi Laremy! hi leemster!) vs. private diary entries which probably wouldnt see past Day 1/21. And seeing how one of the greatest regrets thus far in my life is not remembering half of it :( so yes, heres to more pictures and daily (ok fine, bi-weekly lah) recordings of my life.

Some other random musings

Men are like apps - its near impossible to find one that has the EXACT specs that fit your lifestyle. Sad.

To combat my ridiculous inability to get out of bed, I will thus forth embark on the R&D of

a) The Bed Tipper - where the bed tilts at the pre-set time so you are LITERALLY forced to roll out of bed

b) The Timed Coffee Machine - which actually is already in existence (but for a ridiculous price), so my plan is to do one cheaper using some hacks i found online - will update if it works hurhurhur.

Am going to watch a rollerderby training session soon - looks like a pretty epic sport to get into.

Ok yoga time.

Strike 1 of 3

That has GOT to be a record, failing a resolution on the day it was mad. 

Nonetheless, Day 2 of 21

Decided to give myself 3 chances before calling it quits.

Strike 1 of 3.

So yesterday I toyed with the idea of why I'm blogging - why not just have a diary? Generally since my posts are largely boring and day to day rather than provocative, thought challenging, or even informative posts. Neither do I have a gazillion photos to share. And I came up with zilch. We'll see how it goes. Perhaps simply cos typing is easier than writing. That and the backspace button is SO much more friendly and fun to use than blancko (I just googled how to spell that and for something that was absolutely an essential in every childs' pencil case back in the 90s, its extremely strange that I can't find it online).

Yesterday was ok I guess another one of them average days. Woke up late and panicked upon realising my Apple adaptor stolen by the boss to Myanmmar. Presentation with a new adaptor which colleague had to sprint to Vivo and back to buy. Work. Gangster Squad (good stuff, ridiculously fun), gym and grass.

Recently decided I better learn to start cooking before the mother moves out of the house. Googling how to cook mushrooms at this very moment. Gotta love google. Gonna make myself a healthy wrap with mushrooms. Heres to it being more yum than it sounds I'm hoping.

2 days down. 19 left to go.

21 DAYS TO FORM A HABIT

DAY 1 of 21

aaaaaaand.... im back!

After an extended hiatus (so much for resolving to blog diligently ha), partially stemming from technical difficulties re passwords/usernames etc other unexciting problems, and the rest from my laziness to solve it, I AM FINALLY BACK YO.

Read an interesting article about how it takes 21 days to form a habit, so, as of 15 jan 2013, i will officially test out this theory. 

as with every other hiatus, first things first : UPDATES! (as of aug 2012)

Sept

- Involved a truckload of work related emotional crises 

Oct 

Finished my most dreaded event of the year on a fairly satisfactory note

Finally made it to Australia (Sydney --> Blue Mountains --> Melbourne --> Gold Coast) for 2 awesome weeks.

- Except that Scoot managed to lose my luggage for a whole week and i spent 500AUD on a brand new wardrobe WHICH I AM STILL TRYING TO CLAIM FOR

- Except that I had to end up tying up loose ends and dealing with insane anxiety and anger issues brought about by sucky work matters for a whole week

- Except that total phone bills solving both these TOTALLY AVOIDABLE PROBS : SGD750

Nov

Finished another major event, re-evaluated work life, decided things needed to change, got all worked up and upset again, decided to "Keep Calm and....

Dec 

Visit Shanghai!!!!!!"

Epic awesome impromptu trip cos of the company, despite having to take no-paid leave and already being in debt after Aus. 

- Except that I was pickpocketed of an iPhone4. At that moment, finally realised that its happened TOO MANY TIMES for me to get too upset over already.

Finished another pretty good event - realized that am getting quite good at these. Took me long enough -_-

Zoukout

3 nights of non stop (AND SUPER EXPENSIVE) crazy fun, but more due to my crazy beautiful colleagues.  To be honest, don't remember the music AT ALL. First ever zoukout i have really really thoroughly enjoyed.

Christmas 

Despite my yearly promise to myself that i will put more effort into celebrating this, it never seems to work out. Only thing i did that was even remotely Christmassey was buy a mini tree from IKEA which i'm planning to keep alive until next year. Only if it survives will I consider my life long wish of getting a dog.

NYE 

Was at a setup till 12.15am, meaning i essentially spent the stroke of midnight with my clients/contractors (which wasn't actually as painful as i thought it'd be).

Impromptu sour plum shooters at Zouk with my favorite friend (48 shots shared by 2 over 2h) followed by crazy happy barefoot running around chasing cats (or so claims the friend) and randomly screaming "Happy New Year!" to everyone we passed at 4am in the morning. 

Jan 2013 thus far

Woke up to realise that I had acquired an unpretty bruise and an equally major abrasion from tripping and unglamorously sprawling in the middle of a traffic junction (also according to my friends' probably inaccurate account) the night before. Memorable bits for the day, finding a nasty chicken claw in my herbal soup, "Madagascan Chicken Sandwich" vs "Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich". And theres one funny moment which i swore i wld rmb, but more which i forgot. GREAT THIS IS WHY I NEED TO BLOG MORE.

Made some resolutions.

Broke a good few all within the first 2 days.

BUT.

Thus far still a pretty good year. Finally made the time to get my life in order. Resolved some unresolved issues. Admitted to myself some not so pleasant truths. Finally decided to let go of some other bullshit. ACTUALLY MAKING IT TO GYM!!!!!!!

Finally starting to feel more adult.

2013 is gonna be a good year.

(Even my horoscope says so! Power of positive thinking!)

1 day down. 20 left to go.
