vesak day...a day off work..sigh..

Woke up late today...gonna miss doing that for the month of June..since my work schedule shows I have to work like a dog..lol...goin to Manhattan with my family later n just blogging to past time...

Which reminds me of yesterday, after work I met my bf aka hubby...we went to Vivocity to walk around n just chill out and....we got ourselves seated in Earl's Swensen with a very nice view of the Harbour n Sentosa....it was simply a relaxing moment for us to enjoy dinner with a beautiful view of sunset...we enjoyed the clam chouder, fries, pasta set n finished off with a chocaholic's sundae...( read: it was dark choc n wasn't really my fav...so u guess who's the choc-crazed person here...)


After dinner we dragged our feet around the whole place in circles...moving with the crowd..just window shopping...like what my hubby suggested...but ended up buying a beautiful blouse for myself at RED...sigh...nothing beats retail therapy n food therapy...hehe :)
Something unforgettable happened at the end of the day in the car...we were joking n arguing over crazy things when I offered a challenge over who can sms faster ( me doin the manual version while he use the dictionary )...since my hubby was adamant it was stupid n slow to type the manual way...when I won hands down...n shouted..( read: I know it was very immature...)...my hubby laughed soooo hard he just puked on me!! I went home after that smelling like sticky chewy choc....sigh...I was too shocked to be angry...(sorry dear...i made u laugh so hard)

sigh...what a way to spend my last day of holiday...

Spent the whole afternoon in the library with my hubby reading my current read : Angels and Demons by Dan Brown (my current fav author)...went to Harbourfront and spontaneously decided to try riding the whole glass cable car, something we had in mind n wanted to do for so long..(read: the journey takes you to sentosa, back to harbourfront, then to mount faber n back to harbourfront center)..and suddenly found ourselves caught in the crowd in Sentosa..( cos I suddenly decided to collect my Islander card since Sentosa is along the way..)...
The whole cable car ride was exhilirating!!( The initial part of the ride consist of me consoling my hubby, but the nearing the end of the ride was vice versa...cos our car kept swaying n making creaking noises due to the strong wind!! )yikes!!And it doesn't help either that my hubby decided to share with me a past fatal accident involving a cable car snapping off midway n dropped into the sea...during the ride itself!! grr...

The crowd in Sentosa were mainly made up of Indian nationals on holiday, probably it's summer holidays for their kids back in India...I personally find most of them quite aggressive and rude...shoving n pushing n making lots of unnecessary chaos here n there...it was truly an eye opener for me...n I may think twice before going to India in the future ( in addition to the stories I heard of groping incidents in their public transports..)


To end the beautiful day, we went shopping for my Ipod nano accessories and settled for a baby pink leather casing for now...as well as bought a pair of perfume for both of us from Adidas..(read: gonna have to buy David Beckam's eu de toilette later...cos the scent is smoldering hot!!) Back to work tomorrow...sigh...time really flies fast when ur having fun...

a video I chanced upon in youtube tat made me drool....

This guy created a very nice video that let me ogle at my dream car in different angles....check out the sound...thats a Beetle VR6 Bi-Turbo for you....awesome babe...only diff is my dream car will have pink flames streaking by the sides...n they're definitely not going to be mere stickers..*wink*...turbo-charged...wingless...and cabriolet-style...hot pink wheels...*drool*

One of my fav pastimes nowadays is carspotting...(read:my hubby knows my taste..) Mercedes SLK, beetles, skylines and lamborginis will be the main ones that can make my head turn n ogle...

my holiday so far...

Sigh....life has never felt any better than this (read: aphrodisiac)...before, it had only been a fantasy but now it's reality!!! muahaha!!( read:but only for a week ) waking up later than usual..not having to go to work or worry bout anything work-related...basically lazying around either with my hubby or the cats @ home...

Read my fav comic strip Cathy (I can relate very well with her), watched Spiderman3 with hubby (it was fantastic, I love the fact Peter's not marrying MJ..hehe), tried making my own gold-leaf embedded brooch clay but failed...read more books...became a game maniac..( tried almost all the latest minigames from BigFish..recommended: FAIRYGODMOTHER TYCOON)...ate out with my hubby at cozy restaurants like Manhattan (aww...not again)..and Delifrance...and the best of all...I got a latest baby in my life!!! (read: it's actually more of a gadget that I've been dreaming of having my whole life..) My sweet bro bought it for my birthday...with my name carved at the back!! :)


FAT..FAT..FAT...is how I feel for the month of May...so much eating n celebration...not to mention celebrating me n my siblings' birthday nxt week @ Grand Hyatt with a few of my close uncles...been discussing with my loved ones regarding making a major career change which takes a whole paradigm shift in my life which definitely will affect all of my loved ones...but if it's confirmed then only will come the revelation....

great weekend!!

Even though I worked full day on last Saturday, I still went out with my colleagues to celebrate me n Syari's birthday, at Manhattan Fish Market in PS (Plaza Singapura)...the weekend crowd was crazy! Everyone almost looked like ants walking in swarms! Lucky for the 3 of us who came from work, Sya n Lijing arrived an hour earlier there to queue up for seats since reservations were not allowed on wkends...


The food....was fantastic! We especially love to ogle at the flaming sets...lol...It was very pricey, yet the whole place has an informal, upbeat n cozy atmosphere to it...simply put...the food was served in a posh style..yet the place sounded like a fish market..ppl chatting n laughing wildly..n we were the main contributors to the noise that day...I decided to bring my baby by tis week to celebrate my b'dae cos we've never actually went to a posh restaurant that allows us to feel at home...

It was actually my first time goin home so late hanging out with friends just basically doing nothing..it was quite sweet of them to abort the idea of a movie since it will be too late for me to catch n they wanted me to hang out with them longer... We were a crazy lot...laughing hysterically now and then making such a din wherever we go...n we actually stopped by a timezone, where we were so amused by the fact that adult couples are spending hundreds of bucks to play a candy scooping game, to win a prized soft toy for their loved ones..(when minitoon sells for less than 20 bucks..) we felt like puking everytime they won the jackpot n still continue to change 50 dollars worth of tokens to try their luck for the next toy..my god! are they too rich n free to be true or are they just plain stupid..!!!??? grr...it was pure heartache looking at these guys wasting money like water..well, maybe some of it was courtesy of the hypnotic children's song on the background tat can set anyone in a trance...I applaud the Japanese makers of this machine...I might want to buy one of those machines for myself one day...just for the candies!! lol...

Will update on what I did for the whole one week of holiday I took off work....

MAY...a memorable month for me...

Yesterday, my family and I went over to my grandparents' house to hold a prayers' ceremony (with the rest of my relatives) in respect to all our beloved ones who have passed on...as well as a celebration for all who are declared mothers n also for all who shared their birthday on the same month as me--MAY!! The food were fabulous, some catered, some pot luck-style...all in all there were so much I didn't really eat everything....we ended the evening watching horror movies--a passion (ALMOST)everyone in the family shared...lol

The cake cutting event was followed by a 'sabo' session-- whereby all the birthday ppl have their faces creamed!!...lol..can't wait for the next big family hangout fun this coming December possibly..barbecuing in a haunted chalet in Changi!! yeah! I'll be taking lots of pics for tat event..for a chance to glimpse into the unknown world..lol My sis gave me tis sweet pillow in the shape of a 'book'..hehe..guess cos I love reading.. :)
Actually, I was supposed to hang out with my friends aka colleagues in the evening to eat out n celebrate one of my friend's birthday...but it was postphoned to nxt Saturday after work...cos some of us couldn't make it...work is as stressful as usual but much more currently...especially when patients diagnosed syphillis (sexually transmitted) positive come back to fight for their dignity...adamant to fight for their innocence...wen all we did were follow protocols n diagnose ppl according to the results of our experiments...sigh..looking forward to my one week holiday to spend time doing stuffs with my family n loved ones!! keep up to date!!

great week!

My hubby n I spent the entire day together hanging out-- watching the horror movie I was looking forward to 'Jangan Pandang Belakang',( the show was great n quite freaky sound effects!) went to Geylang (something I've been wanting to do for so long..) to shop for new headscarves n clothes...there were so many beautiful choices to choose from!! Sad thing is, my body is too small to fit in the smallest sizes they carry...so we ended up buying clothes in Joo Chiat instead where this lady carry clothes for petite ppl like me...lol


Went to survey for my hubby's toys (those things guys love to buy..car related things..etc) n enjoyed lunch at one of our fav hang out place, Harbourfront Banquet, n went to Queenstown library just to enjoy what we both love doing.. reading...( read: I was actually busy playing downloaded games in hubby's lappy!! someting I haven done for soo long!) We ended the beautiful day watching sunset whilst having ice-creams @ Yishun dam..just enjoying the people n the beautiful scenery before saying our goodbyes...thank you dear for the great day on Sat! muah!


We will go watch 'Spiderman 3' by this month..since my hubby already accompanied me to watch my horror movie..which he doesn't really fancy from all the noise n grunts he made throughout the movie...lol...call me a nerd, but my current read this month is forensics-related...n is gonna be my life goal...

Life as a medical technician in a clinical lab..

Nowadays, since our 2 housekeepers have left, we medical technicians have to be our own maids at times, since the new housekeeper is having trouble coping with all the cleaning workload...added with the increasing number of samples we get from hospitals...I feel like a mad woman at work..anyway, this pic shows the urine samples that arrived, ready to be analyzed...



Everyday, we have to order for more n more stocks...top up anything that needs topping up...By now, I would have been working for almost half a year, n can do urinalysis, all the miscellaneous urine n stool tests, reading fungus plates,culture processing,reading gram stains,afb stains,fungus smear,trichmonas screening, mycoplasma plates, reading blood cultures n calling up doctors for serious cases, an expert for all serological tests which include vdrl (syphillis screening),RA (arthritis factor),WIT/WWF (screen for salmonella n brucella esp for food handlers),ASOT,mycoplasma antibody (esp for babies),TPPA (test for past infection of syphillis),AA(amoebic antibody)...everything learnt except bacteriology..the reading of plates to identify the diff types of species of bacteria infecting our patients' bodies...that may be learnt next year...

On Saturday evening after a hard full day at work, I went to 'The Banana Leaf Apolo Restaurant' with my boss n some colleagues to have dinner with our past housekeepers...the fish head was what everyone was looking for..everything was fantastic..n the ambience of the restaurant was the most informal one I've ever been in...everyone feels @ home...

To top it all up, my best weekend is on Sunday, cos that's the only day I had last week to spend value time with my loved one...we went to his friend's wedding...it was beautifully lavished with golden decorations n some fresh flowers..n the variety of food they had were great...Of course we couldn't help ourselves admiring the whole event..lol..cos I forgot to take any pics of the place... All in all, I am looking forward to my one full week of annual leave as well as my birthday this May!! Will update on that later...
