7-11 cup and more
Watched the 7-11 cup on Saturday... Quite interesting and exciting games on the opening day - BBAXN All Stars vs Home United. I was rooting for Home U, what with their mainly local and extremely skilled players... BBAXN consisted mostly of Caucasians actually... It's really quite interesting how sports can draw people to become more patriotic.
Anyways, BBAXN won in a tough fight against Home U. And the only rationale I have for that? They won because of their height advantage. A major height difference, might I add. The lack of rebounds set Home U back. But they managed to hang on tightly and only lost by 2 or 3 points. Amazing team...
Oh, Dan was supposed to play tht night - Tong Whye was playing against the Philippines team, but their opponent came late for the game, so it was a walkover. An easy 20-point win for Tong Whye then. Lucky them.
The next exciting match scheduled for the night was SAFSA vs Eng Tat Hornets. I've actually always been a supporter of Eng Tat... one of my fav bball players are in the team- Da Kang! He used to be a superman on the court, doing everything - from rebounds, to fast breaks, to killing the opponents in the paint. But I guess he's kinda toned down since then, and isn't tht much of a superman anymore. But he's still one of my favs. :{P
Anyways, Alan was playing for SAFSA... another one of my fav players :{P Can't let him know that though. His head would bloat soooooo huge. Haha! Well, he is one of the better controllers I know. Anyways, another of my fav is in SAFSA as well - the superspeed Ah Liang. Within the first few minutes, or seconds perhaps, of the match, he managed to to pull off an amazing steal. He was so fast that Weite's comment when he saw Ah Liang going for a fast break was "Wah! He was so fast I didn't even see him make the steal!" It's true though - it was a 'blink-and-miss-you'll-miss-it' moment.
The final result? SAFSA won by about 10 points.
On Monday, I received a phone call at work that distressed me quite a lot. It was an immediate job offer for AP... but it was a project-based job and it was an immediate opening. Knowing that opportunity is knocking yet I am unable to answer it and grab it... it was such a painful experience. But knowing how I can't take on this job, I had to let it go, reluctantly. I did email the person my resume though and expressed my keen interest in future opportunities. I hope that move has paid off though... haiz...
My colleague whom I mentioned the dilemma to told me not to be so stressed over that as she once heard that one's immunity level drops by 80% when stressed or upset. I was a bit skeptical at first, but by late afternoon, I was a believer.
My whole body started aching and I was shivering in the cold. I really fell sick then. Went to see a doctor and got a MC for the next day. Stayed home on Tues, and it was such a great feeling to be able to stay home on a weekday. I missed that feeling sooooo much. Kinda reminded me of how I used to stay home on days when I didn't have to go school. I really miss school!
Dan came over later and spent the day napping on my matress. Haha! But I did appreciate him coming over though... so sweet of him.
Well, just a few days and I'll be off in KL! Really can't wait for that trip! Hope it all goes well then. I really need a break. Time to think about what I really wanna do.

foreign staff
Forgot to mention this in my last entry. During lunch yesterday, I actually went into the staff quarters at my workplace. Since the home looks pretty much like a resort in general, I used to think that staying there must be really cool. Such a big 'home'. But when I went into the room and saw how 8 to 10 of them had to squeeze into a room that's smaller than my living room, I kinda withdrew my previous thought.
But I can imagine, it'll be really cool to stay in such a place for a while, perhaps a few days. Stay a couple of days with some friends in a resort like place... so nice. I think my next destination after KL and Bangkok next year will be Bali or Redang. Ah... lovely beaches with cool blue waters. Should be amazing...

chinatown & commando
Had a chat with Brendan today on MSN. He told me more about podcasting and about Podeejay - sounds real interesting. Plus, he's going to make some changes and revamp it. Do check it out! I can't seem to enter the new website though, cos it's been redirected. Will post the webbie once I get it.
A commando came into SWAMI today. In Dec, the whole home will be swamped with 80 commandos. Haha. They're coming to do some community service and interact with the elderly and all. Should be interesting; plus it's half a day out of the office and spent outside with the volunteers, my favourite. Yipee!
Went down to Chinatown after work to meet Dan. Had dinner at his Dad's workplace, an eatery. Great hor fun - but due to the black bean or black pepper can't seem to figure it out), we helped each other remove bits of the food from each other's teeth after the meal. Haha... Plus, had my fav chicken feet! hehe... yummy...
Went shopping in the area after that - went to OG (or Old Girl, according to Dan) and the street stalls. Saw a bag in OG tht I really like. But I'll be going to KL to search for a bag too, and if I can't find anything, I'll prob come back to get it.
Went for a snack after the shopping - the old market food centre. Had some not-so-nice ah balling and not-too-bad yam cake. Then went on to this pet shop near the food centre. Saw this really nice fish tank with pump and light, but it's about $50+ for a tank abt the size of half a Nike shoebox.
Then they had some guppies (really nice colours) and prawns in it and some coloured stones placed at the base, with some coral look-a-like rocks to the back of the tank. Looks great but after the deaths of my terrapins, I've been a bit reluctant to take on a new pet since. Plus, I felt so depressed seeing so many dead or half-dead fish in the shop. So sad! Such beautiful creatures dead, or about to die. They really should remove the deceased fish asap so that it won't affect the customers that much.
There's this goldfish in there that doesn't have a left eye. Not sure about the right side though cos didn't get to see it's other side. So poor thing. Pet shops should really take responsibility for the lives in their hands.
Still disturbed by the images that are still swimming in my head... argh... hope I don't get nightmares tonight.

cool breezy nite
It's a cool breezy night today... been so long since I've experienced such a weather. I've always loved cool days - the wind blowing past, brushing against me, enveloping me in its cold embrace. The wet air feels so nice - so welcoming and so relaxing, just enough to send a minor chill down my back.
Went shopping again yesterday with Dan, Charles and Aiway. Went to Bugis this time and we all bought something, except for Aiway. I bought myself another new top for CNY; an orange button-down top with a flower brooch.
After parting ways with Charles and Aiway who went to Orchard in search of a white top for Charles, Dan and I continued to shop in Bugis before deciding to make our way to PS to watch Harry Potter. Charles and Aiway came over to watch the show with us as well. Before the show, Dan and I had the Indonesia BBQ chicken (yummy! love the lightly charred grilled chicken thigh). After which, we proceeded to the 2nd row of the packed cinema theatrette.
Sure, it wasn't a great seat but at least we managed to watch the movie; the 2 and 1/2 hour movie which gave me a butt cramp after having seated there for so long. A few scenes were abrupt, but overall, the show was good. More mysteries unfold and the story thickens, with more characters coming in and more surprises taking place. Never did read the book, though I really do enjoy the movies. Am looking forward to the next one already.
A few seemingly good movies are coming up - Memoirs of a Geisha, The Promise, The Chronicals of Narnia. December looks set to be a good month for movie watching.

spooky dreams
Speaking of spooky dreams, here's another one I experienced recently. I dreamt that my new spects (those half-frame type) had cracks on the parts where the frame held the lens. And when I woke up that day, guess what?
No, my spects did not crack (thankfully!) but when I went to put on my contact lens, I felt a pain in my right eye after putting the lens in. I took out the lens and there was a crack on the contact lens! Plus, it was the first time I even had my lens crack or split. Gee... scary...
Went to ACS (Barker) today for the Citibank-YMCA Youth for Causes 2005 prize presentation. Dr Vivian Balakrishnan was there as well. He's a great speaker actually. He can give a speech without having to look at the written notes and his points are poignant and meaningful too. Really enjoy listening to his speak; plus, he does has a good voice as well.
Glenda Chong was present at the event as well. I noticed her even before she took her seat, but I didn't recognise her then. I was thinking, "Wow, who's this lady? She's so slim and svelte, and so pretty, even though she was adorned in a simple pair of drawstring white pants and a gray long-sleeved top with a white spag/tube inside. And her smile, wow, so stunning and so pretty!" I guess stars really have the x-factor that emits from them oh-so-obviously, the aura that instantly makes people turn their attention to them. She wasn't wearing any make-up, just like Sharon Au when we met her. Perhaps artistes don't like to wear that much make-up, especially when they have to constantly put on so much thick makeup for their job. Makes sense.
One of the participanting group of the event was this group of wheelchair basketball players. I managed to speak to one of them and made a donation for their cause as well. He told me how they have to make their way to a public court to train and how inconvenient it is for them. Plus, it also deprives the public from playing there as well. So they have come up with an idea to build a basketball court nearer to the Handicaps Welfare Association.
I learnt from the guy that they actually play at a normal sized court, height and all. It must be very tough for them though, having to shoot so high. It's already so tough having to shoot while standing. Imagine shooting while seated - so much arm strength needed! Gee... really inspired me with their keeness on playing sports even though they're physically challenged. Amazing spirit...

dreams to reality
I was dreaming, of how the skin near my eye was injured and there was a stinging pain near my left eye.
Then this morning, when I woke up, I realised, I did have a stinging pain near my left eye. And I found my own finger positioned near my left eye, with my nail digging into the skin, as I awoke.
Spooky? Perhaps... sometimes dreams can become reality, no? Ai yai yai... Be careful what you dream of now...
Will be working for almost an entire day on Saturday. I have to attend a prize presentation in the morning, a meeting in the afternoon and an event in the evening. Haiz... looks like it's gonna be a looooong day.
Am so looking forward to KL... can't wait to shop, eat and chill in good company. Not mention I don't have to work then. Haha!

so full!
Went shopping on Sunday with Dan. Finally, a day when Dan gives up bball to go shopping with me, to spend time with me to say the least. Was so happy on that day. Plus, had a pleasant surprise when Ai Way and Charles suddenly popped up. Yes, Ai Way's back from Aussie! Haha... shopped around while the guys tagged along. Bought 2 new tops for CNY! One's a jacket and another's a pink knit top. Looking forward to buying more, esp when I go to KL! Yes, my leave has been approved so KL, here I come!
Oh, back to Sunday. After an entire day of shopping, we went to Newton Circus for dinner. As the old food centre was still under renovation, we have to manouvre over to the temporary one where to much touting was taking place! They'd have someone from the store sitting at an empty table (the popular and cooler seats outside of the food centre) and they'll promote their food to you while you walk past looking for a table. Despicable... but oh so clever.
Had so much food... kinda felt like how I feel now - so blardy full! I think I'm abt to explode from my heavy dinner earlier on. But the food was so good, who could blame me for taking so much? Haha... plus there were my fav dishes - my mom's cream of the crop dishes: (crudely translated) yellow ginger chicken, pork chop in tomato sauce, and my fav (what some pple call 'ABC soup') potato and vege soup! Ah... my lovelies! Too bad I had to fight with others for the food... haha... my bro and his gf. Too bad Dan was not here to help me fight for the food. Hahaha!
Baked cookies the day before. Dan and Weite came over to my place. We also cooked pasta for dinner. Yummy but so expensive! Even though it was DIY, it still cost about $7 per pax! Yeowch!
Cookie baking was fun, and so much easier with my new oven, donated by Dan's mom. Haha... But tragedy did strike as I burnt my fingers while baking the first batch. Here's what happened:
I took out the first batch of cookies with the tongs, then the grill then the cookies at the bottom. Then as I was putting in the grill once again, I forgot that it was hot since it was placed outside and I used my bare hands to hold the grill. I didn't even feel the heat till I heard the sizzling of my meat on the grill. Then I looked at Dan and my mom who were in the kitchen with me, wide-eyed. I opened my mouth and a tiny "Ouch" escaped my lips. My mom then went to get some power ointment. (I call it power ointment cos only 1 of the burnt spots blistered whilst the other spots healed within 1 day!) Well, it's actually nut meg oil; try it if, unfortunately, you get a burn one day too. One thing I've learnt - never ever put ur burnt skin under cold water! The blister will appear immediately.
Anyways, despite the burnt finger and immense pain, a lovely batch of cookies was produced, thanks to Dan and Weite who persisted on with the baking.
And cos of my injury, I can't climb tmr! Oh man... to break a 5 or 6 week streak... gee... so sad! But no worries, as the Chinese pronoun goes: to rest is to prepare a longer journey (xiu[1] xi[2] shi[4] wei[4] le[4] yao[4] zhou[3] geng[4] yao[2] yuan[3] de[4] lu[4])!

climbing
Yesterday was not agood climbing day. I guess I was too burnt out from work to enjoy and have the energy to climb. As Saiful put it, "Where's that monster in you we saw last week?" I was wondering the same thing too. So discouraged. Couldn't even climb the normal easy walls and it felt so freaking hot and humid. Maybe it was cos it was raining. Maybe it was cos we were tired. Maybe cos the chalk didn't get on our hands as much and we had clammy palms. Maybe, maybe, maybe... blame anything but ourselves - that's our theory and motto.
I maybe going on a trip to KL with Maz, Liza and Hafizah. Never been on a trip with them before. Kinda am looking forward to it. The only thing in the way now - whether my leave has been approved. Need to buy new clothes for CNY, plus we're getting a good deal on the hotel. Met up with Liza just now, chatting over coffee and stuff. Really miss secondary school days. The good times we've had; so much fun and laughter. The best time of my life, really. Good company, great age (willing to try anything, young and with lots of potential and not to mention, time).
Really hope I can go KL with them. Pretty please.......

aw, awesome lovely! another pose pls!!
the model polar bear
the ever-so-eager mongoose
the camera-loving pony
'nany nany poo poo!'
Dan & me at the entrance of the zoo
the slap in your face raccoon... middle one to be exact
update
A trip to the zoo has brought about
1) lots of fun
2) lots of sun
3) lots of aches (esp in the feet)
4) lots of exhaustion
5) 385 photos
Haha... nevertheless, I still love visiting the zoo... all the animals... so adorable... the model polar bear, the photogenic and attention-seeking pony, the food snatching and a-push-in-your-face-just-so-I-can-get-my-peanut raccoons... so many many interesting and amazing animals! Looking forward to my next visit already.
Am watching Tab TV now... some new show abt taboo issues in the media and in society in general... this week's is on China women... study-mom's, student prostitutes... well, the topics are interesting and their graphics more daring than usual, but something tht brings the show down is the commentator's voice. Not Evelyn Tan, but the guy's voice. So irritating! So inadequate! Sounds like Crimewatch - geee. Oooh... and the 70-year-old man who bedded 50 China girls... powerful man!
Siti just asked me if I wanted to goKL with her, Liza and Hafizah... sounds tempting... but it'll be 2 more days I have to take leave for... and I'm still on probation! Haha... I've already taken 3 days... if I take another 2, then I'll be left with only 7 days for next year! I think tht's how it works anyways... I still wanna go Bangkok! Ah! Dilemma...
