Recently I was bestowed with this nasty cough that actually made me refrained from cold drinks at all cost. Can you imagine! And during this period of mine, I have learnt to appreciate the nice hot drinks that was around me. I had a lot of hot tea. I had hot honey (with garlic at one time none the less - yucks!). I had hot coffee with almond sprinkles. I had hot chocolate. And oh my, I even had hot Milo! And I must say, it is not that bad all =) I liked the feeling when the hot drink warms up my tummy. It's almost like there is a soothing to your heart. Maybe that's what it feels like when people hug hot water bottles. When you cough so hard and you have a hot warm tea, the feeling is such relief... It's like you are being served a cuppa' love! Cheers!

I am having this nasty cough for a month now. And it had got worse for the past 2 weeks. It is difficult to sleep at night and it's worse in the morning. I have seen the doctor and the specialist and the meds are not helping so I am going to look into traditional remedies that I am googling =S "Use of honey is one of the most common, traditional cough remedies. Consumption of 1 teaspoon of hot honey every one-quarter hour will help to relieve the cough symptoms. It will also give relief from severe spasms of asthma. Continuous use of honey is helpful for throat health." Hummm... I think I can try this one... "Finely chop a raw onion and extract its juice. Mix one teaspoon of the onion juice with one teaspoon of honey and keep it for about 4-5 hours. Consume this excellent cough syrup twice a day. Another home remedy with onions is to crush a raw onion and add juice of one lemon. Add one glass of boiling water to this mixture. You can also add honey for better taste.

You know... after years of proudly saying that I never watched Sex & The City, I finally did. Not only that - I got addicted and I completed all 6 Seasons completed with movie within a span of 1 month.... muahahahahahahaa! I love the characters, I love the setup (Oh I love New York too!), I love the humour, the reality of it, the ideal of it, the crew, the cast, the story, I love the show =) I was chatting to a friend earlier on and I was trying to convince her to watch the show (she is also going through this nasty long-distance-shall-i-break-up-cause-i-am-not-strong-enough-he-is-so-faraway melodrama), so I told her, watch the show and you will know that even good-looking-career-successful-amazing-wardrobe women has the screwiest relationships in the world and all these you are going through is so normal - parts and pieces of a full-lived life. So take a moment, have a cuppa and embrace life =)

I finally completed my resume after a procrastinating for 5 gawd damn years. But I still do not know what I want to do yet. Because of my upgraded lifestyle over the years, the new job would need to support me a little better and make me sleep better at night. Still want to continue with sales? I don't know. Something that is excel and system bound would be great. That is such a piece of cake to me. Perhaps could consider being a sexytary hahahahaha... I am good at that too =}

...it's one of those zhai evening I am having right now... sitting here in my office... browsing facebook... checking out everybody's picture and trying to imagine how life's is with all of them right now... now that we are all in our 30s... I am quite cool being in my mid 30s now... seems like yesterday when were still in school... and it's one of those evening... I am sitting here... with my three dots... thinking... reflecting... how life is with me right now... And seriously, the Sarah Maclachlan background song is not really helping out at all kekekeke... hummm... I miss writing... perhaps go home, have a cuppa and write =)

This is the 2nd week in a row I have been sitting in a coffee shop on a Sunday just to do brainless things that I think I like to do. Keeping up with Facebook and also playing games online... I have plans today. I want to make prawn salad with lots and lots of prawns... yum yum... and have nice mussels with thousand island sauce... It's peaceful sitting here. Open air with the lap top just doing brainless things that I think I like to do...

I have an obsession with painting nails lately. So I bought a lot of stuff to learn nail art. And this is the result. Not too bad for a beginner =)

Christmas EVe, Steph invited us to their place for a steamboat dinner also cum House Warming. It was a peaceful dinner with Squidy and 2 of her colleagues, Gin & Fergie (read Fei G). We have plenty of booze and food - what else could a good meal ask for! This is us in the kitchen preparing the food. And Steph "chopping" chillis with a pair of scissors =\ And this is the view from her 18th floor apartment which is quite nice: We had such a great time, we are going back there for New Year's Eve dinner though it would just be 3 of us. We are still looking for more participants but then again plenty food and booze, that would be all just enough... kakaka...

Years back when we were students, we could not afford to rent the whole apartment on our own like now. So we put up an ad for the 1 empty room we have. So my roommate Ah Har, who is also Mandarin illiterate picked up the calls. Caller 1: Room for Rent? Ah Har: Yaya... What your name? Caller 1: Oh... my name is Feng Yiu... Ah Har: Har? Wah! Minyak Cap Kapak??!! Me: Wuahahahahaha... Then came another caller: Caller 2: Room for Rent? Ah Har: Yaya... What your name? Caller 2: Oh... my name is Doo Shern... Ah Har: Har? Wah! God of Gambling??!! Me: Wuahahahahaha... Turned out caller no. 2 passed our interview with flying colours and we learnt that his name is actually Too Sheng not Doo Shern as he and his roommate Ah Boon guided our Mandarin better =) This weekend we are meeting up for dinner after 5-6 years we did not get together... Looking forward to that one =)

Most people who meets me and my mummy will tell me I will look exactly like her when I grow old cause we just look so much alike... so in 20 years time I will then look like this... And my mummy loves to surprise me as well... she sneaked in my birthday present into the office... a new coat with a pretty skirt =) Yeah... I love my mummy very much... kakakaka...

This is so uncanny that she looks like her father so much... This is when she just came out - just before the Ghost Festival ends... And this is her just merely 3 days old... Yes, those cheeks, literally and no pun intended, runs in the family =)

This is the last time I went out with Jac. And this cookie fascinated me cause it's so big. She is now living happily ever after in a country thousands and thousands of miles away from me =) I miss our Sundays =)

This is a proud moment. Solitary moments. And there is no place better to have it at the zoo. This so reminds me my trip back in Thailand when I was 12. It would be nice if I could scan the picture and compare. It's like a complete cycle =)

Yes... and this including soups... So I went to this not-so-posh place and ordered mushroom soup and it looked like this... Sedihnya... And I went to this quite posh place and ordered mushroom soupa nd it looked like this...

Yeah Yeah... it is way overdue liao... but it's the thoughts that counts... my anak-anak cucuk all 29 candles in the cake to remind me my age... =)

Oh Oh~ My brother is finally all grown up and getting married! Oh so proud of him... And this my dear Tshun-Tshun performing solo!! Wah lao! I never knew he is so gutsy and sing so well... This is a very proud sister moment. I was the one who clapped so loud... phewittttttt~~~ And of course, this is me with my pretty make up... Oh... who wants to marry this social butterfly now? Kakaka...

This is my new obsession currently... They are so passionate that is makes you brrr... And of course my Dr. House... Oh yeah...

Recently I am back into blog hopping... and it really fascinated me why do people blog and it fascinated me even more further when I read how and what they blogged... And recently I hopped to this blog which tickled me the whole day with his open sense of humour. Yeah, it did helped a little knowing he is such a romantic gay... And I find this picture he posted in his blog really sweet =) Cheers.

A friend told me that for this year, her resolution is to meet up at least one of her friends every month... and days ago when I was in Singapore for a business trip (oh finally, it's my turn to travel..), I managed to meet up with Ah Tzu. And I told her that, maybe like my friend, this year, I want to put in a little more effort to look for my friends... And meeting Ah Tzu is a very good start. She didn't change much. Still the same ol' sarcastic and cold woman she is... and knowing she is in Singapore for the past 7 years is not really helping that kakaka... We met at Takashimaya and she was patiently shopping around with me for my bb's belt. And after that we sat down in Coffee Bean and later Swensen's for ice cream. It was fun catching up with her and I do hope that it won't be another 3 years lapse that I get to see her again. And having dinner with Wye Yee and Jac is a great start too... now I just need to hunt where are the rests are...

You know, there are days when you wake up and you feel uncertain of your day. What are you going to do? Is the day going to be screwed up? What if the plans didn't work out? What if I am stranded? And these uncertainties will grow in you turning you into an insecured monster. Today, at this very naked moment, I feel that this day is such day.
