happy week

it’s monday!
no monday blues for me.
other than the fact that i had so much trouble trying to scan a few photos and until now, i’ve yet to get them scanned…
tonight, tonight.
maybe i should really invest in a scanner so that i can scan anything anytime.
roarrrr.

but whatever, i’m excited!
i love my schedule.
gonna be busy busy this week, starting Wednesday, with xmas celebrations and all :)
and then i’m gonna be flying off to shanghai on sunday.

actually i’m a bit sad that i’m gonna be away for new years, and the trip is a bit too long for my liking.
been hearing that there isn’t much in shanghai to stay for 8 days.
shall go do some research now…


by the way, i’m very proud of my creation. :)
only two copies in the entire world.
glad you love it! :)

in other good news, i just heard today that my paycheck for some freelance work is coming in within a week. woohoo!
just in time for my trip.

wen’s a happy girl :D

paycheck makes me happy!

Trekking is :D

Lazy to blog.
Lazy to type in proper sentences.

I loved the trekking trip.
I love the serenity in the middle of nowhere, far away from civilisation.
Total absence of human, other than the few of us.
Love it.

Only downside to it is having to bathe in not exactly clean and very cold waters- the river, though Tony had a blast doing that.
That crazy fella showered and brushed his teeth 3 times in 2 hours.

Outdoor cooking is funnn!
Chopping down a tree is even better. Haha!
And then there's the campfire, that lasted the night through to morning!

I'm definitely going trekking again :D
Any takers?

Genting after trekking.
Proud of my shopping loots!
2 spag tops, 1 tank top, 2 tees, 2 boxer shorts and 1 shorts at only SGD$100!
Hohoh, I love cheap and nice stuff! :)


And I finally got my very belated birthday present (unclaimed yet) from xt.
My perfect-for-driving shoes:

Keds Jetty Mule in Navy

Now I think I need to get socks to match them... :p

Looking for a watch now. Something sporty and slim. Any suggestions?

Cheap goods make me happy

Macau

Trip booked for 26 - 29 April.

I love this spontaneity.

The girls are now planning for BKK in May. I sure hope I can fork out the time!

Holidays make me happyyyy!

Happy 2009

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Well, I just wanted to show off that:

1) I've been to Cebu, Philippines and back

2) I've got my HTC Touch 3G for about a month now

3) I've got a projector in my room now - halfway to my room theatre system! Now I'm thinking whether it's even neccessary for a 5 piece sound system at all, or just a handy 2 piece speaker will do...

4) I've been to a wedding that I actually got a personal invite! I think that indirectly reminds me that I'm growing old...

No pictures cause it's my offday and I do what I want = being lazy :)

Cebu was fun. Canyoning was super! I love jumping into water although my ass really hurt from the jumps...
Not too happy coming back to work, but oh well, that's life.
And I don't like being oh-so-busy and oh-so-popular. Phonecalls keep looking for me but it's supposed to be a good thing! But it's hella annoying alright : Especially when it's my offday...

Another couple of new year resolutions:
1) Lasik
2) Get hold of all seasons of Desperate Housewives! So that I can watch them all in my room :D
3) Travel when I can!

Okay, I'm gonna take an AFTERNOON nap! Haha!

New Toys makes me happy :)

Fly N Dive

Philippines tomorrow! Flight in about 20 hours, and I haven't start packing at all. Let's hope I have everything I need at home!

Heh. I can't wait to dive :)

And I just realised that it's quite fun hanging out with my girlfriends and their boyfriends, talking about Lizards and any-riders. Hmmmm.

Wala Wala with the Combat Crew was fun too. Check out facebook for proof.

Oh. Life is great. :)

Play makes me happy!!!

Lonely Night

It's a lonely night in the office! and i'm really not used to being without you..
Spent hours preparing for the busy tomorrow, and I can't wait to get it over and done with.
Am staying in the office tonight because it's an early day tomorrow, and I don't have a car, and I'm simply too lazy to bus home and back again tomorrow morning.
And now, I'm facebooking. Got into the craze the day before yesterday and I'm starting to get bored of it again...

I wanna get a home theatre system in my room!
And I want to make a real photo collage on my wall!
I should really clear up the mess in my room and start working towards all these otherwise it'll never ever happen...

Okay, I'm already feeling sleepy, but I've yet to shower! Yes yes, I'm gone now.

Philippines in January makes me goddamn happy.

Tang Dynasty, Singapore

Paid Tang Dynasty a visit a couple of weeks ago. I've never been to Tang Dynasty while it was in operation.

Seems like they're in the process of tearing it down, and what I've heard is that it'd be gone come March 2009, 10 years after it's closure.

So before it's gone, here are some pictures to remember it by.






Super torn down and dilapidated, as you can see...
Can't imagine being in here on a thunderstorm night. *shivers*




The signs that were still lying around after almost a decade

On a side note, my goodness. The things Singaporeans complain about. Nothing better to do sia.

I'm sorry that I'm stereotyping and I'm sorry if I offend fellow Singaporeans. But I'm not sorry for blasting this idiot who posted this on STOMP. What is the point!?


A pay rise makes me happy... Heh :)

BORED

Ok. I'm sick of doing work. I just suddenly decided to click on the X on the top right corner of my screen and quit working.

And I'm utterly bored.

No incoming mails reminds me that it is Friday night, and I ought to be out, but no, I'm at home, feeling bored after getting sick of work.

Looking back at it, it's been a rather sickening week of buring myself in work, to keep myself occupied so that time would pass faster.
And no, this is not the reason imu. iluimyht.
Suddenly my Mini dream seems to have drifted further away again.

And suddenly, September feels like its going to come too slowly but go too quickly. I can hardly wait for eternal peace, rest and bliss. Ok, this sounds like I can't wait to die, but no, I just can't wait to retire. Yes I know you're thinking, aren't you a tad too young to be thinking of retirement already!?

Maybe it's PMS.

Should I sleep? Or should I watch something on DVD? Tomorrow is looking like a day with no agenda. Ah, I dunno. Sigh.

My name is Superbored. Hurhur...

A time-machine would make me happy......

Oh, I quite recently discovered how great Picasa Web Albums is.

1) You can actually download a whole album, so it's really good for sharing photos with your friends, unlike in Photobucket or Facebook. (I mean, Facebook is just for showing off your glamourous life to people who don't know you personally. You still end up having to send the entire folder to your friends over MSN or something.)

2) Not to forget that it allows you to upload massive amounts of photos at one shot, unlike Facebook, which only allows you like 56 photos, right?

3) Plus, it's so convenient to insert captions to your photos, and it automatically saves the caption when you click on the next column.

4) It even provides you with the coding to embed a slideshow of an album! Just like what I have to the right of this column!

Picasa's proving to be pretty impressive too. It's really easy to browse through and locate pictures.

I love the collage tool! Saves me so much trouble and time of collaging all my photos in photoshop, and it's so easy because I can just select the photos from the Picasa library, click on the collage button, and there you go! A collage!

My only complaint: The BlogThis! function seems to be buggy. I can only post 4 photos, even though I selected more than that, and the 1st picture doesn't even appear properly. I upload my photos through Blogger itself, which can be rather messy, because when I click 'Done' after uploading the pictures, they appear on top of all the text that I've typed. Plus I really hate paragraph tags (< p >)!! Doesn't < b r > work much better? Argh, I really hate messy HTML codings.

-

Ok, I think I've wasted enough time and I'm starting to feel sleepy. Great! Good night and I'm glad Friday has ended! :)

Days of my life, Cheeky Chocolates

Combat Skirmish Super Heroes party @ Dempsey
Too cute for words!

It's been a rather hectic week, and I'm more than glad that it's Friday and the week's coming to an end. I can't wait for the new week to start!

It is ironic that I love working on an offday because I get to work out of the office. I'm slowly turning into a workaholic, I think...

So far, my favourite locations are McCafe and Cheeky Chocolates!

Cheeky Chocolates = great service, nice ambience, free wireless access. Great place to chill or work alone!
Best thing, is that it is on Upper Thomson Road, super near my house. :D

Cheeky Chocolate's version of Dark Devotion (it's called something else, which I can't remember). I personally think it's even better than TCC's. It's crispy on the outside!

Anyway, I bumped into this random girl yesterday and she looked at me with a very weird expression. She noticed that I noticed, so this was our conversation.

Wen: Why're you looking at me like that? (I know it sounds a bit rude, but
actually I said it in a laughing manner)

C: Er... You look like a friend...

Wen: Oh... I see.

and I thought ok, look like only lah. And that was going to be the end of the conversation. Then she continued.

C: Your name is not Yiwen right?

Wen: HUH? Yes I'm Yiwen!! Who are you!? I don't recognise you at
all!

C: Kua Yiwen? I'm your primary 1 classmate...

I'm damn amazed that her memory is SO GOOD! I don't think I look very much like myself in primary 1 now, really. She even remembers my full name, can you believe it! Hahaha... Her name sounds quite familiar though... But just quite. Hahaha...

-

Girl talk with the aunt and cousin couple of nights ago. My aunt's real skinny, and she was describing this one time years ago when she fattened up.

Man, I had BOOBS! And they were BOUNCING up and down when I walked!

LOL.

Thinking about September makes me happy!

I CAN SMELL MY MINI DREAM

I found this FUCKING GORGEOUS CAR. It's the perfect colour, perfect design.

I was tempted, until I saw the registration date. Then I told myself, I've GOT TO GET THIS.

Tell me this car is simply made FOR ME. The registration date falls on MY BIRTHDAY. Isn't it made for me!??!

Bugged my dad and he finally agreed to consider. He's going to get his friend who's knowledgable in cars to go with me to take a look at THE car.

OMG... I'm fucking excited!

-

In other very pleasing news, I'm going to Bintan in September. For work. :D

Today is a GREAT DAY!!!

TODAY makes me FUCKING HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dream

Had a strange dream...

Singapore and France were in the finals of the Guinness World Book of Records, and I somehow ended up with Xt and Ikhsan (wth!?) at the competition ground. We were put on a ship and we were sitting next to each other, holding each others hands because we were very excited. We were in for a good show.

The show started and Singapore's underwater underground Disneyland was first to be featured. What got this into the Book of Records is that it was the deepest construction ever to be built. The ship rotated sideways like a roller coaster ride, transformed into a submarine and submerged into water in seconds, and started to descend at an alarming speed. I wanted to equalize but noticed there wasn't a need to.

We travelled through lots of impressive architecture and stopped at this area where we were allowed to roam about for some time before we moved on. I was intrigued by this movie screening where we were put in a room that makes you float, like in scuba diving. Everyone has a screen right in front of them and you're supposed to hover at your spot in order to watch your movie. I stopped there for a short while, then left to get on to the next place that we were going, but then I remembered that I had to buy souvenirs for my friends. So I went to the area with all the shops, of which many were book stores. Happened to meet Vivien, Abby, Pris and Weiwei there. I found a pen with Disney logo, and shortlisted it as one of the possible gift.

And then, the phone rang, and I woke up. Too short!

-

Mj tournament going on right now. I was the big loser of the first round, but whatever! Hahaha... Let's see who's the big winner by the end of the night. Heh.

Crazy colleagues make me happy... Hahaha

The Best Memories. all mine.

I just spent the past 4 hours picking out the best bits of my photo collection from the past 4 years or so.

It's been damn nice reminiscing and I'm thinking that maybe I should be somewhere else. Not here in Singapore. Maybe Europe, maybe USA, maybe the Maldives. Not just holidaying, you know, but living there, having a job... Something like that.

I'm still young eh, but not for long. (Reminds me of the Britney Spears song that goes "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman..." LOL.) If I wanna do something different, it should probably be now.

I actually wanted to post the slideshow on my blog tonight, but it's gonna take over an hour to upload. And look at the freakin time now. So you shall watch this space (watch!) while I go get some snooze.

Off day tomorrow :)

Travelling makes me darnnn happy :)


Oh yeah, another thing. ZOVB is having a Public Roll-down Session this coming Sunday the 10th, so if you're curious and you wanna try it out, drop us a message on the website :)

Me time

Took a long walk from Bishan back home.
Reckon I had already missed my last bus, and I wasn't in a hurry to get home, plus I'm always reluctant donate my cash to cabbies.

Found out that there's wine tasting just 5 minutes walk away from home!

And checked out (from far) the new MRT station at my doorstep. Marymount Station!
I'm excited. I've never lived so near a train station before! Can't wait for it start servicing...
Takes me a step further away from my Mini Dream.
Hahaha...

I need a new sudoku book.

It's a bit early for PMS, but people are like taking turns to annoy me. Rarrr...

Ok, I'm super sleepy. So its good night.

Me time makes me happy :)

Happy Offday

Soaked in the sun for close to 3 hours
and I think I'm only like 20% darker.
Haha... Oh well, better than nothing!

Today's been great so far:
Met up with the babes for dimsum brunch (it was nice reminiscing), went home and swam then played sudoku while tanning :)
Feels like a healthy lifestyle huh.

Looking forward to the rest of the day...
I like off days where I'm occupied with happy things to do!

Actually, I was planning to finish up some overdue work, but I left my laptop in the car! I swear I didn't do that on purpose, but yeah, it's a good thing. Haha. At least I'm enjoying myself instead of burying myself in work again.

On a side note, I'm hopelessly addicted to sudoku.

And I really cannot wait to dive. (Yes, I know I've said this more than once!)
Babes, please go learn diving soon and let's go diving together someday!!!
See ya'll on Friday :)

Tanning makes me happy!

Another dream

Okay, I've decided to work towards something else that I want, other than my Mini dream.

This one is much more affordable and achievable, and I'm really looking forward to it.

I want my own home theatre system in my room! Just imagine lying in my cosy bed, watching DVD on my projector tv with the curtains drawn. So enjoy...

But I really need to pack and clear up the mess in my room before I embark onto it. Man I wish it wasn't so hard (emotionally) to throw things away.

-

Today didn't end on a very good note.

Work ended a little late for everyone else, but super late for me! Almost the entire PIE was jammed and it really sucked that I had to travel from West Coast to Changi Beach. And it really didn't help that the van was running low on diesel so I had to waste time to go pump it up.

Missed sending Sean off and I don't know when I'll see him again. Sorry dude.

Tomorrow WILL be a better day.

Sudoku makes me happy!

Honeymoon

Ever since I could remember, my ideal honeymoon would be a backpacking trip.
Those who know have said I'm crazy, but let me explain myself.
I find it perfectly sensible and meaningful even.

I dunno, but I'm guessing for majority, a honeymoon would be a laidback and chill trip to somewhere like Maldives or Bali, or something along that line. Somewhere more to the resort and beach kinda place, so that you can spend loads of time with your honey doing nothing. Or something.

But I imagine going to places like that every year, not just for my honeymoon, so that doesn't make my honeymoon special anymore! And how many times in your life would you go backpacking, considering the amount of time you'd have to fork out? Not more than 3 times, I reckon, but I've already gone for about 3 of such resort-ish trips. I really think a backpacking honeymoon would be a fun start to a marriage.

Ah, I miss diving! So sad that I can't go this time round. :( Everytime I look at the old photos I miss the past, and then I start to look forward to the future and I cannot wait.

September Bali makes me happy!!!

Off day

I AM SO BORED!!

It's off day, and I'm at KAP Macs like a secondary school student.

Contemplating whether to head to Sentosa for a tan alone, but going alone is so boring.

MacD's brekkies makes me happy!

Quiz

Yep this quiz is rather accurate, so take it if you like: http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

Those in red are accurate, what I bolded in red is super accurate!

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

I'm about to be super random.

I WANNA GO DIVING.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY HAIR TO GROW LOOOONG.

I just saw a quote from bonnie blair and I really like it:

Winning doesn't mean being the best, it means that you're doing better than you've done before.

That's all folks.

Good food makes me happy :)

t i r e d

Oh man, I'm so tired!

It's been a busy week with today being the most hectic!
Some last minute work to rush, and I'm finally done.
It seems like I haven't stopped being busy since starting work. Hahaha...
Yesterday was a fun night out with the new staff though.

I'm super hungry right now, but I'm defintely more sleepy.
Thank goodness it's my offday tomorrow!

SLEEP makes me happy...

______ makes me happy, to find joy in simple things in life.

I decided to think of one thing everyday that makes me happy.

Today:
Off-day makes me happy! :)
