More eats

My parents brought me to lunch at Foo House Cafe & Bar on Sunday (off 6 Jalan Pari Burong Picardy Garden) opened by an ex-Hyatt chef. They serve nice western and hainanese food at really decent prices and good portions. The must eats are the pumpkin soup (only $3.50 for a nice big bowl) and duck crepe (my mum had this!) I ordered the honey pork ribs...salivating...and Peiming ordered the Irish Lamb Stew with rice

Nice evening sky yesterday! The colours din come out as nice here, the clouds were reddish-pink!

2 funerals and 1 wedding

Attended 2 funerals and 1 wedding in a month...both funerals were for people who passed away suddenly, and i only accepted dats its for real when i attended the wake. Its knowing that for the years to come there'll be more and a wave of fear and sadness washes over BUT you'll also learn to not take the people around you for granted and accept that everyone has to die and that nobody knows when and how. Its hard when u see a face you know appear under the Obituaries section in the papers, i had 4 uncles and 1 aunt (on my mother's side of the family) and now with only 3 uncles. The last time we met together as a family was at my aunt's funeral...

Dinner & Dance 2008

My last D&D - Held at Goodwood Park with the theme "Pink & Blue" with gals in Pink and guys in Blue. The girls looked so pretty in pink but most guys came dressed in not so obvious shades of blue.

I won the 49th prize at the lucky draw, a $50 Robinsons voucher and a bottle of 2005 Celestial Bay red wine! (^-^) Can buy Xmas presents wiff it!

Here's a pic of the gals from my Department and Daniel Ong (Class 98.7 DJ), the MC for the evening and check out my colleague's pink wig!

My colorgenics profile - 24 Nov 2008

Occasionally i like to visit the Colorgenics site when i'm feeling a bit puzzled or confused.
Some parts are rather true for wat i'm feeling right now =)

You appear to others around you as a person who is simply 'laid back'. From time to time you shelve your ambitions and forgo the desire for prestige and recognition and you are often considered as mentally lazy. You have the ability and you are the first to know this, but you prefer to take things easy and indulge your longing for comfort and security.

In the past there have been - and maybe there still are - many things that you have had to do without. You have now decided to set your sights on a position or situation that could give you greater prestige and which will afford you considerable self esteem.

You are very demanding - and insisting on total involvement but you do not reciprocate with the same depth of feeling. However, it could well be that maybe an unprecedented surprise is awaiting you in the near future. For just as one whilst paddling in the sea, could flounder into a whirlpool, so you may be drawn into a loving situation that has high emotional demands - and you could well respond with a depth of emotion that you never even dreamed that you possessed.

Whatever you strive to do, something always seems to be holding you back. There is no subterfuge in you. You are a clear thinker and all you demand from life, in a relationship, is a partner whom you can trust and with whom you can, together, develop a foundation of trust based on understanding. You are your own person and you demand freedom of thought to follow your own convictions. You have no interest in 'two-timing' and all you seek is sincerity and 'straight-dealing'.

You don't like authority and you rebel against all forms of limitation. You are your own person and you intend to stay that way and to get on in the world simply by your hard work and determination.

My itinerary for today

My office closes at 3pm today for the annual Dinner & Dance this evening and to keep ourselves entertained during this time we have opted for:-

probably followed by coffee or tea. Its my first time going to these 2 places so i hope it'll be a real nice treat!
The secretaries are going out in full force to doll up themselves (^.^) whoee wheet!
Hope i'll get a nice lucky draw prize tonight!

CPR!

Was smooching a dummy y'day morning, ahahah...no juicy pics though. The Management Committee of my EC organised a talk and demonstration by the Civil Defence on CPR and the use of the fire extinguisher and i got to try CPR on a dummy! Well it was a female dummy and i had probably "killed" her by miscounting the number of pumps i gave to her heart (supposed to be 30 consecutive times in 1 set) and grabbing her throat. Gosh...wonder how i would react in a real life situation under stress and with so many steps to remember! Some important pointers:-
- Do not administer CPR unless the person is both without a pulse and is not breathing
- Before administering CPR check to ensure that the airways are clear i.e. no foreign objects lodged in the throat, remove any with your index finger
- 995 is for both fire engine and ambulance services - need to specify that ambulance services are needed
=D Was pretty happy that i finally got to learn this life-saving skill!

My husband's green fingers

Look! I got a little garden going on here =) Finally something sprouted and stayed alive...realised that once i start fussing around them they wilt and die on me. I left it to my husband and voila! We've got pandan leaves (real useful!), ginger, pomelo and Mexican Heather. Hee hee and we went to Daiso to get more pots and stuff to decorate spruce it up.

Catching up

Lots of catching up to do! Been busy for the past few weeks and couldn't find the time to blog...kekeke partly attributable to the new Nintendo Wii set in our living room.

Dinner @ Ma Maison at Bugis Junction, our all-time favourite restaurant. We had scallop carpaccio, beef stroganoff and a caramel pudding (no sharing of this one! had to have 1 each!).
Lunch with Evon at Canele Patisserie at City Hall =) we had tomato and crab pasta, seafood doria (baked rice) and a slice of Le Royale cake!
