after the gastric flu ordeal during the 1st wk of Aug, was down with chicken pox after only 2 wks. no idea y i keep falling sick recently. last yr i rem during july/aug i went to see doc for abt 3 times too, for cough and sore throat. Maybe its the "peak period", haa.


the few days of gastric flu was quite cmi, no appetite to eat and have to eat v plain n light. and was uncomfy until i couldnt stand straight on a morn.

chicken pox is worse. initially had fever on sun and went to see doc. doc said lymph node was infected which caused the fever. ate med and rested and was quite ok le and wanted to go back to work on mon. but on sun nite when i bathed, i saw a few red red dots on my body and arms and legs, with abit of water, like blisters. den panic abit n thought i cant be so suay ba?! asked mum to see and she also say seems like chicken pox n said mon see doc again. fever came back in the middle of the nite n took paracetamol again. see doc on mon aftnn n cfm its chicken pox. tue was really terrible. whole body ache esp my lower back and had no strength the whole day. fever also kept coming back n throat was damn pain, duno is it pox or sore throat. i tink the paracetamol i ate for tt few days is almost the same as wad i usually eat for a yr. very hard to bathe too cos have to be very careful and can only dab dry lightly.

now the blisters are starting to dry up le, n its itchyyyyyyy. soon will have many black marks and scars =(. worse thing now is many things cannot eat!

shall cherish the slacking at home before i go back to work soon =D

been staying at my ah ma hse for the past 2 wks, while hse is undergoing some quite major renovations, making it impossible for any human being to survive there overnite. prob gg to take 1 or 2 more wks before it can be completed, and den its time to move back. the thot of moving back scares me. not tt i m not excited or happy to have a "new" hse and room, but the thot of shifting and unpacking juz makes me wan to faint. let me stay in ah ma hse forever.

the wk before we moved out from our hse was terrible. spent wkends and wkday nites after work to pack the whole room. imagine packing 18 yrs of stuff into juz boxes. mission almost possible. had to be hard hearted n threw away alot of stuffs. was so energy draining.

so cant imagine how to unpack everything and shift back all the furnitures and things. i tink it will be a terrible month.

staying at ah ma hse is good, get to eat home cooked food every nite, no need to do much hse work, except to wash own clothes and plates. no parents to keep nagging at me (parents stay at another aunt's hse). i m so gonna be fatter after this short stay.

went yz concert on 11/7!! =D. missed her singing man. Concert was great, her voice still v power. got my all time fav songs like 同类，我不难过，我怀念的，天黑黑，眼神. n those fast songs like 奔，梦不落，绿光，第一天. but this time she sang more of those songs which are not so zhu da like 累赘 n i cant rem wad else. oh got 懒得去管 too! we sat quite front but it was at the side, so cant really see the dances well. she sang "cham cham bo" with a table dance. wanted to record video, but somehow the goonz side of me has to take effect at this time. i switch my phone camera to video, n held the phone up to record. arms aching alr after holding the same position for quite awhile. n towards the last 20s or so, realised that i did not press start to start recording. FAINTS!! wanted to bang wall! only managed to record last 11s of the finishing. n this was not the 1st time. prev wanted to take video of another song also 4gt to press start. i've got nth to say or defend myself. guilty as charged. hahaha.

n yz waved at us!! =DD n there were 2 encore! whole concert last for abt 3 hrs. the prev time i tink was only 2.5hrs. somehow there seems to be more interaction during the prev concert, or m i imagining things? aahah. nevertheless, i enjoyed the concert =D

too tired to blog now, more updates later.

-最想环游的世界就是你最内心的世界-

time for some updates!

had a first try at golf a few wks ago at CDANS with Tam, Mag and Byran. was at the 3rd level and the furthest i hit was only 50+m, hahah. golf is quite ok, dun really dislike or like it. still prefer killing ppl on the court =D. after golf, me and tam went to Holland V roof top terrace cafe 211 to meet winnie, nana and ying for dinner. Food was not bad, n the outdoor ambience is quite good too =)

met up with kx and kw recently at JP too. Long time since i last met them, was great catching up with them. had high tea at new town coffee, followed by some shopping. they managed to get their shoes, but i din get anything except food, HA. i welcome junk food anytime in the office =D. After tt, had korean cuisine for dinner. had seafood pancake, steamboat and ginseng chicken. din really like the seafood pancake, but both the steamboat and ginseng chicken were good! reminds me of the time when i went Korea. the ginseng chicken was really damn good. we even had noodles to go with it, n the noodles were really smooth and silky, like mee sua. rem we had lots and lots of steamboat at korea too, ha. n the stone pot rice was nice too. *pulls myself back from korea* after dinner, tg joined us and we went to bakerinz for dessert and more chat. well, 3 women = 1 mkt. the new york cheesecake was good!! usually will have some reservations towards ordering cheesecake cos i m worried that the cheese will be too over, and i will feel sick of it after a few mouthfuls. but this strawberry cheesecake wun make me feel sick at all =D. their cakes taste alot better den the main course. oh, the cheesecake reminds me of last time when mei make cheesecake for us. i rem she/we (i rem i went to her hse b4 to make cheesecake) made a cheesecake for someone's bdae, haha. n was it at sakae sushi? my memory is gd! hahahah.

met up with the JC gals last sat too. quite surprised that all, except KOK, can make it despite such a last min arrangement. shopped with winnie and ying in the aftnn b4 the rest joined us. winnie drove me from redhill to vivo (though its only a few mrt stops away), and i have to say this - she was driving up the multistorey carpark and there was a car in front of her which was quite slow. so i asked her to drive abit slower if not when she catch up with the car in front, she have to brake alot and engine may die. so she slowed down abit, and after reaching the top, the car somehow was v slow, and she had to slow down quite alot. heard a noise after she slowed down, but thot it was nth cos she was still driving like normal. 2 sec later we ended up on the kerb, facing a wall in front. the engine had stalled and the car was able to move cos it was downslope. luckily the slope wasnt steep if not i tink we could have hit the wall? conclusion: dun take car when its only a few mrt stops. or rather, best to avoid taking winnie ong's car. HA. dun tink she will see this. *cross fingers*

had big family dinner ytd to celebrate ah ma's bdae. went back to the hilltop garden restaurant at bukit batok CSC which we went last yr. But this time they booked sort of like a pte room with ktv. food was served at about 8+ and i was alr famished. and the thing abt skipping shark's fin, (which usually came as 2nd dish) - is that after the cold plate and feeding my empty stomach with some food, i have to wait until shark's fin is served and finished b4 the 3rd dish is served. when u r vv hungry, ur patience juz wears thin. maybe next time i can suggest to my ah ma, dun order shark's fin. order sth else like scallops or abalone instead =D. oh, and Jomond can walk alr! haha.

smsed the 2 butas ytd morn to say i wan sing k. 1 scolded me nonsense initially though i duno y she did tt. quite impossible tt she dun wan sing. hahaha. anyw, managed to fix a day for ktv. and juz duno y at times when u wan sth, no matter how hard u try u wun be able to get it, while at times u juz have it repeatedly. so, juz b4 i left office ytd, a col asked if i was free on 12th. say i alr put them aeroplane twice (defend myself: 1st time i alr told them i cant make it. 2nd time was i really only got to noe on wed that ah ma bdae dinner was on fri). and say they gg for dinner and ktv from 10pm-1am. ha ha. andddd, ytd after dinner my aunt asked if wan go ktv tml! Jackpot. HA HA.

well, most prob wun be joining col for k session though, hope i dun get scolded too badly, hah. and tml is not cfm too. shall see how, haha.

slpt at 2+/3 last nite, woke up at 8+ this morn and somehow cant fall aslp alr. but still rested my eyes until 10+ after feeling not so slpy.

gonna be Aminah for today. super hot and humid, zzz.

went Batam over the long wkend! spent 3D2N at Harris. very slack and spent most of the time in the resort. Almost the whole resort is occupied by singaporeans. cant find any place which sells food nearby and so had the 1st nite dinner and next day breakfast at the resort.

1st day went exploring ard the resort, den went back to swim awhile b4 heading to the cable ski park. First time trying it and it wasnt as easy as it seems, haha. Tried the kneeling down one, and i tink it was a wise choice. Cos its was already exciting enough and not easy alr. The pulling force was very great and have to grab the rope very tightly, keeping arms straight while being dragged around the water. Din get past the 1st turn the 1st time and landed in the water at almost the other side of the water park =(. Very tiring to swim from where u drop to the bank and have to push the board while swimming. keep kicking and dun seems to be moving and so used freestyle to swim. got quite breathless and had to rest a few times. no stamina, hahah. And the most gross part was the green and muddy water. and when i walked on the bank of the water park, it feels like stepping on shit (not stepping on myself). Initially thought i had to walk all the way back and told myself i dun wan to play anymore, haha. But after a LONG LONG while, a motorbike finally came and rescue me back, hahaa. 2nd time got past the 1st turn but couldnt get past the 2nd turn. Irritated, haaa. SO after swimming in the gross water for the 2ND time, decided i had enough. $20 for 2 tries. At least it was an experience cheaper than that in SG.

Dinner was buffet, including some bbq food, at the resort, with live music entertainment by the hotel staff. they even go from table to table to ask ppl to sing or dedicate song. and they noe all kinds of songs, ranging from Jason Mraz to Beatles, from Eng to Chi, cantonese, hokkien songs, though i cant really understand wad they were singing at times, haha. but generally the buffet was overpriced la, for the quality and taste wise. though the staff were really quite entertaining =D

Next day morn was v nua. woke up at i-cant-rem-wad-time, had breakfast at the resort again, cos i was really too hungry. not worth the price again la, but wad to do? need to feed my hungry stomach. slacked and took nap in the room after breakfast =p. aftnn took the shuttle bus provided to Nagoya shopping centre. basically not much there either. but at least there were better food. Had A&W for lunch, but it wasnt really v nice either. wonder where to have the nice original A&W. bought KFC back to resort for dinner and bread for next morn's breakfast. went for a 1hr foot reflexology which was not bad. But still feel like kicking the person in the face when he massage certain areas of my legs.

A very slack weekend. but time still pass very fast. sometimes I wonder, y is time ALWAYS in a hurry, cant wait to fly by, refuse to slow down and it will always have the last laugh at those who try to compete with it.

-我喜欢这样跟着你随便你带我到哪里-

and right now, the current song I am addicted to:

潘嘉丽 - 限时的遗忘
作词:易家扬
作曲:王爷斯禹

阴天的操场想你的肩膀
对著你的那个方向大声讲早安
往事像影片往后飞转
转了多少圈烦不烦
我想现在苏醒还不晚
也只能这样了我想

两人的冬天聊天等天亮
头发和永远原来都可以剪短
我也知道我可以生还
就算日子要天天算
但是我会很勇敢
会比你想的更勇敢

*限时遗忘让我跑过悲伤
他们不是说忘了梦好简单
那些年的一切今天一刀两断
离开时要把眼泪擦乾
我心里呼喊

限时遗忘不要让梦空转
要再次起飞就要更有胆量
站在起跑线上计算爱的能量
离开时要把眼泪擦乾
我心里呼喊

一个人看这一片天空
它慢慢的从灰色变蓝
一个人在这一片操场
跑赢了孤单流的汗
我为胜利鼓掌奖牌是阳光

like yi jia yang's lyrics too =D

went to watch If There's Seasons today, and really enjoyed the performance. The songs were v nice. most of which were by Liang Wen Foo and are familiar songs, and some re-composed for this musical. a few are xin yao =D, have always like xin yao. Muz say Liang Wen Foo is really good, esp his lyrics. beautiful. Shi Xin Hui's vocal is damn good too, had always like her voice, very unique and has her own style.

Nice songs with beautiful lyrics which suits the plot perfectly, plus good vocal plus the live band, and you will get a superb performance. Can immerse myself totally in the show. oh, bought the soundtrack too =D. but of cos it cant be compared with the live music.

Definitely gg to catch it again if they will have it again next yr.

one thing which reduced the enjoyment a little was the throbbing pain of my tail bone. Hit it against the edge of a chair in my storeroom this morn while i was squatting down to get sth. Thot it wasnt serious, cos there wasnt much pain when I hit it, and it wasnt a direct hit. But it juz got more and more painful towards the end of the day. Will even hurt when i am laughing or walking. Now cant anyhow move in my seat when I find a comfy sitting position. hope it gets better tml.

And I am very glad I have you beside me to enjoy this musical =)
