Excited! Excited!
Hee. just back from the Israel Briefing. I guess there wasn't much being briefed about. But it was still a good evening. The Israeli Ambassador was there. And he gave Pastor Kong a Israel's flag collar pin! So cool! And we presented him a token of appreciation before that. He's rather funny. Said he dun like to owe debts. And hence the collar pin. Hee...

Oh..watched a video clip as well.. Sooooo nice.. I can't wait to go there right away. I guess I won't really be working from now till I set off on Sunday! Haha.. will still go for appt.. but I guess my heart would have already been in Israel. Most of the people shown in the clip were really glad that they were there and most weeped!! Oh man! I can really feel the kind of presence of The Holy Land. Phew.... Breath-taking! Hehe... :D

I guess I have to start preparing and packing my bag, else I'll bound to forget something here & there. No checklist this time. We are all dealing with adults.. So just bring what you think you'll need.. Mmmm.. :/

But I'll be fine. :)
Oh! Just realised that my UOB Debit Gold card can be used worldwide as well!! Hehehe.. so happy.. Just a few clicks away! Soo good.. just like a credit card. Except that I need to have the money before I can use it! Thats good as well.. Then i wont overspent! :)

Okie.. need to sleep now. Tomorrow another day! Happy! :D

Nothin...
Had a good rest.. or at least I suppose. Rotted around at home. Checked my mails, sent out mails, checked out friend's blogs.. Feli is single again.. Mmm.. does that tell anything? Had something happened between her & Ric?? I dunno.. and I suppose I shouln't be bothered as well.. Mmmm... Just being a little KPO here. Heh.

Had 3 appts today supposedly. And didn't go for all of them. Sigh.. Too lazy, or was the injury an excuse? Mmm.. nontheless, I have to go for the briefing at 730pm at Hyatt Hotel tonight. Briefing for my Israel trip.
So excited. And I hope all things would go on smoothly.

My feet looks much better now. Not as red or swollen. Just a little painful. Mmm.. Thank God.

*yawn* I'm tired again. And I thought I had almost 11 hours of sleep earlier? Mmm.. what a way to rot at home. So unproductive! Haiz...

Its only 1.36pm. I'd better finish up the papers from Saturday till today. And thats the last of the delivery of the papers. Mum's complaining of the bills and since I'll be away for a good 2 weeks, Mum suggest that it'll be better that we terminate the subscription. Maybe that's better. I can start reading my books again. But I'll be missing out on the news. Maybe I'll just grab a copy on my way to work...

Well... see how things goes.......................

Close Shave....
I was burnt. On my feet. Phew. I really thank God it was just a slight burn and it could have been worse! We were happily tucking into our food, and I was happily cooking when suddenly there was a huge flame right in front of me!

I thought it was just a small burst out from the stove. But it got so near to me, and I was feeling hot! Then I realised that the fire was ON me!!! And then it spread to my feet! I ran away from the table and then there was no more fire. When I turned back, the hose was still burning. Coz of the gas cylinder, there was a rather big flame. The workers then came and switched off the fire. Wah.. it was real scary. Emily, Max, Huizhen and Andy just stood there shocked and dumbfounded! They wanted to say something, but nothing came out of their mouth.. Heh.

Then they came over and asked if I'm alright. I thought I was fine initially, till suddenly I feel that my feet was burning hot. It was then that I realised that my feet was burnt! Emily helped me to put some ice on my feet, which wasn't too wise a decision, as it'll cause blisters, but yet it was more cooling. Then we called the supervisor to come. He asked me to remove the ice and asked his worker to get a can of condensed milk. He then pour the milk on my feet and spread it out evenly. He said that'll prevent inflammation.

Before we can even really sit down and enjoy our food, everything was spoilt! Sigh.. So we negotiated with them and managed to get a refund. And he said that they'll pay for my medical bills. So we went to Raffles Hospital, which was nearest to Marina South. Guess what? The bill was $122.36!!! Soo expensive. The doctor prescribed some cream, antibiotics and painkiller. But thank God they said that they'll pay for it. Thank God for Max as well. He'll help me to bring the receipt back to them and collect the money for me. :D

I would have been burnt throughout. And thank God my face was not burnt! Phew.. it was a rather tramatising experience, but I really thank God for His divine protection. Phew..

After leaving the hospital after like 45minutes, we walked to Bugis for dinner. Huizhen they all wanted to eat Sakae Sushi. So we went to Sakae at Bugis Junction, or was it Seiyu? Dunno. The one with Mos Burger. After dinner, I took the train back with Emily & Max. Just got back and bathed. And guess I'm sleeping soon. Tired.. and I think the medicine'll cause drowsiness..hahaa... Nitez... I pray for healing in the name of Jesus........

Luggage Bag
Yay!! Got my luggage bag from God-ma. Went out the whole afternoon today. Got up at around 10plus. Changed bedsheets, vacuum, mop and washed the loo. Took a bath, iron my clothes and then took bus to Suntec with Mum. Supposed to meet cousins there. It was about 230pm when we left the house, and we were supposed to meet them at about 445pm! Haha. Well, the bus journey would be long, so its better to leave earlier, and besides, nothing much to do at home liaoz. Heh.

Shopped through the whole of Carrefour and parts of the shops in Suntec. And I didn't get anything! Amazing huh? haha.. can't bear to part with my money leh. Gotta scrimp for my Israel trip. No choice. Sigh. Its not everyday that I get to go Suntec with mum, but still, I need to put my Israel trip as top priority! :D

And then went to look for cousins and God-ma at the foodcourt. Shared a plate of duck rice with mum, and then we went to the Book Exhibition. It was almost 6pm when we were there I guess. And we left that place at about 7pm. Then to Carrefour, yes.. again. And we grabbed food and grocery, and left the place at about 8plus. And there were 7 of us. So we took 2 cabs, and went to God-ma's house at AMK. Had some seaweed chicken,(fried by Yati), and then french toast with ham & cheese in between! Heavenly! *slurp* :p

Then had a look at the luggage, same size as the one we saw at Carrefour earlier. Cheap cheap also. Only $29.90 I think. But mum said that I dun travel all the time. So just make do with one from other people. So... happened to get it from God-ma loh.. Mmm.. Not too bad. But seems a little small.. Haha. Must learn to squeeze and not to bring too much rubbish! haha.. Mmm.. I'll be leaving next Sunday. Suddenly I feel so excited! Heh. Awaiting more news and preparation on Monday, where we'll be having a briefing at Hyatt Hotel. Mmmm... So exciting!! :D

Ok.. time to sleep soon. I'm so tired after a day's shopping.
Oh ya. Bought 2 pairs of Giordano's cargo pants. Not too bad. $33@ though. MMmm... for my trip. Coz I ain't any pants thats not so formal. Most of what I have are black pants. Those that I wear for work! Hehehe... Good to add something else to my wardrobe! Hehee... :D

Cell Group.
Just back from Cell-Group. Took the train today. Bro Jon wanted to talk to me. And it was just a small matter afterall. Just telling me what we gals should do when we gather in small groups and to take note of our conversation. MMm.. well well...

Finally its Friday!!!!!!! Yaaay!! My favourite day of the week MOST of the time.. Firstly, there's cell group, and secondly, tomorrow'll be Saturday!! And thats my only rest day..... phew.. :D

Not entirely rest day as well, its also household chores day. But its ok. At least I get to sleep in. No appts tomorrow. So I can sleep till probably 8 or 9am.. or maybe I shall make it 9 or 10am. As long as I get everything done before mum comes back, it'll be fine. Don't like anyone to be around when I'm doing housework. Especially when they walk around like nobody's business and soil my floor!! Hahah.. abit fussy here, but thats me! Hee.. :p

Oh ya.. Emily and I finally managed to think of something to prepare and We got:

- sushi
- watermelon
- bananas
- Pokka Green Tea

Hee.. At least something new.. but looks like Bro Jon don't really like that. He didn't even finish his portion. Or I was just being too sensitive. He had sushi for lunch today as well. So maybe he was just sick of the same thing. Hee.. Anyway, I think everything was finished. Sushi was the fastest. Gone in 5 minutes. Heh. The watermelon was the last to be finished. Heh. It was a BIG watermelon we had. Cheap Cheap. $2.50 only. :)

Okie.. for once in a few weeks, no birthday celebration this week. Guess they'll celebrate mine next week. Haha.. They were writing Bro Keith & my card today. And I wonder what I'll be getting for my present.. Hahaa... I'd like to have a Nike Shoe Bag though. Or a good sleeping bag. Just in time for me to bring to Israel for my one night stay in the desert. My existing sleeping bag is abit too small. Wanted the pillow that came with it back then. And ignored the fact that its only meant for people 1.7m and below. Yes. I'm not 1.7m. But the length of the sleeping bag is only 1.7 and it just can't fit me! Only half-bodied. Hahaha.. And I guess I have grown a little taller or bigger since the last time I used it. Back in NUS days.. hahaha..

Mmmm.. I'll like a LV wallet as well.. Hahaha.. thats wishful thinking. But its really nice to own one. Heh. Mmmm.. don't know what else I want. Oh!!! I think I quite like Nokia 7200, Samsung E700A is fine too! Hahahha... All these are just my wish list.. and a wish that I doubt anyone would be able to fulfill!! Hahaha.. rather unreasonable to want anyone to give it to me as a birthday present.. So.. I can only work for it myself! Mmmm.. when I'm back from Israel then. Heee...

Alright. Have a early night tonight and catch up on my one whole week of beauty sleep!! Ciao!! :D

Going Crazy!!!
I think this is crazy... neber touch or edit your template too much. Better still, be satisfied when you have got it done. Thats when you are still a dummy to HTML..

Well, I'm not really a dummy in this area. Took the module when I was in Year 1 in NUS.. Nah.. that was like 4 years ago!! Wah..thats a long time! :p

I've forgotten all the essentials I guess and all I can do now, is just to copy other's webbies.. hahahhaa... not that bad lah.. at least I think mine is not too bad now. Heh.

Had a good day today. Went to NYP, back to office, had lunch with Shanice at... City Plaza.. changed some Thai baht for Cindy, and changed $200 of USD. Need to pay for my extra 2 night's stay of hotel fees on Monday. :/

More money gone. Sigh.. Guess I really wont have enough to spend there now. *Tsk Tsk Tsk* Wished I had a S$1000 to bring there to spend. But looks like the maximum I can have as of now is about $700. Sigh.. more money to drop from the sky please..... :/

Gotta go now.. its late.. 2 appts tomorrow... and cell grp.. preparing refreshments with Emily tomorrow.. dunno wat to buy... sianz... :/

Fruitful and tiring
Had a rather short day today. Was rather blur though.
Went to office at about 10am. Made a few calls. Mostly unanswered. And then did the PFR for TYL and then packed up and left for NUS.

Met with Ng Wee Seng, delivered his policy, then had my quick lunch as TYL said that she'll be down later. She came at almost 2pm. Talked to her till about 330pm. And closed the deal. :D

Took a shuttle bus to Engin, met with Dr Lim. He was in a hurry to go for meeting at 430pm. So i ended promptly at 430pm and had another appointment made next week. Thank God. A very rich guy. So much money that I really don't know what to do with it. Just give them all to me!!! That'll be wonderful! Heh.. :p

So it was rather early.. Took my own sweet time, met up with Cindy and her colleague.. and accompany him for dinner at Mac.. and after he left to pick up his wife, we shopeed around awhile before dining at Siam Kitchen. Don't think the food was fantastic nor great. Just normal. Don't really like the tom yum soup. Mmm... Sakura's better.. *slurp!*

And then we shopped a little more.. and realised that Causeway Point ain't got much things that we want. So we took a train back t o Yishun, and then got the stuffs at Northpoint. That was already 930pm. Most of the shops were closing, and we left pretty soon after that.

Checked out the exchange rates for US$. Northpoint's leading at 1.72 now. Asked Ivy to check for me and see if Change Alley would be any better. Heh.

Oh ya. Happy happy. Finally got my water bottle. Been thirsty for many days.. 2 weeks to be exact. Since my bottle committed suicide and died, I didnt have anything to drink... sob sob.. :~~(

$13 for a Nalgene Water bottle. Think its a branded one. Can tahan up till 135 degrees boiling water, not susceptible to throws and drops. Guess its a good bargain after all. hahaha.. :D

Alright. Gotta go rest soon. Another long day tomorrow. Mmmmm... :/

Happy!


Mmm... in a happy mood today. Heh.

SL sent me back earlier on. She was having an interview with Annie and bf from 330pm. Well, it was scheduled to be 330pm, but they were a little late. I guess around 4pm latest, and they talked till 7pm! SL commented that Jeremy was a little disruptive. Kept interupting her. Mmm.. And that he's a poor listener. And Annie might have been a better candidate instead. Hee..

Well, didn't really get to know her that well in person, but guess she's a rather good friend to have, according to the testimonies in Friendster! Hee. Would be good to be able to work together with her. Fun I supposed. And since now that she's a believer, I guess life would be different for her now. Heh. Pray that she'll grow! :D

So after they left, I met with SL to discuss my case tomorrow. Guess I'm putting alot of emphasis on it.. but I don't want to sound too pressurizing nor too pushy. Hope I won't. Though I badly need some business now to sustain my Israel trip and the time when I won't be around. Mmmmm.. I pray for God's wisdom to be upon me, and that I'll be able to speak normally and calmly! Don't be too stress, and don't be too nervous! Haha. Not a big case, but afterall, its something that's good for her. If she don't start saving now, she'll take forever to start. And the later she starts, the more she has to put aside to reach the same amount... Mmmm.. guess I'm getting the hang of it. SL repeated 3 times for me. And each time, she said different thing. Amazing.. Haha..thats called EXPERIENCE.

And it was almost 8pm when she was done. And she offered to send me back. Really so nice of her man. :D I'm really so blessed. Heh. God's blessings to give me such a good manager and friend. Someone I can talk to, and confide in. Good manager and listener. Heee.. Thank God for her! :D

Reached home at about 845pm. And I guess she would reach home at about 9plus then. Mmm.. Really feel so blessed. :D

Oh ya. Last night, SL and AO were interviewing Max. And it was 745pm-11pm. Another long hour man. So.. SL offered to send me back. As we were leaving the office, AO asked if I wanted a lift. So SL asked if AO wanted to send me back. AO was rather cute. He said,"Yishun right? ok.." hahaha..

So we parted at the car park and I went off with AO. He send me back home and by the time I was home, it was 1145pm. Sooo late. Thank God for AO as well.. hehehe.. I guess I'm really blessed to be working here and having such nice superiors. Praise God! :D

Hehe.. feeling happy.. gotta do QT and time to sleep.. I must try to get up earlier tomorrow. Have to make more calls. Havent been making calls for 2 days liaoz.. Jialat... And I'm going away next week... this is bad.. have to make it better!! :D

East Coast Costa Sands!!

Tired. Super duper tired. Just got home from our cell group chalet. It was in fact only a 11am-7pm thingy. But I stayed over at Lilian's place last night after cell group, and then we stayed up till 245am. We were cutting and preparing the food stuffs for today's picnic. I would think that its a buffet instead.

Probably not that up to catering services kind of standard, but we do have a good variety, or at least I think.

- Fried Bee Hoon (my FIRST attempt! usually I WATCH how mum does it. heh.)
- Fried Rice (Lilian's style; really tasted better than I expected.. hehe :p)
- Sandwiches (Chicken Mayo, Ham & Cheese, Tuna Mayo)
- Seaweed Chicken
- Sotong Balls
- Prawn Balls
- Hot dogs
- Fruit Salad
- Fruit Punch (Mixture of Orange and Rose Syrup)

I think both Lilian and I really put in our best to prepare and cooked the food. We really used LOVE to cook it. It would not have turn out this well otherwise... :D

Really glad. Was with Lilian since I "knocked off" from work at about 12pm. Met her at Clementi after my appt in NUS. Went to NTUC to get the ingredients and stuffs, then went to her place to leave the food, and then to my office, I had to leave my files in office. They are just far too heavy for me to cary all the way back to wherever we are going.

Amazing thing happened at the office. Lilian & I were discussing on how we could actually go to East Coast from Paya Lebar and if we take a cab, it might cost a bit. Hence, we decided to take a cab. Since there seems to be no other way out. Had we taken a bus, we'll have to walk a long distance. I was also telling her that it might be possible if my manager happens to be in office and that if she happens to drive, we might get to get her car. It was a really last minute thought that came to mind.

Upon reaching office, I asked Shanice if SL was around. She said she just went into AO's room for interview.. Sigh.. once in, she normally wont come out for quite some time. However, amazingly, she walked out just as I thought that all hope was gone. I was delighted to see her. And upon seeing me, she asked.. "why?"

So I asked the important question! "Did you drive today?" and yes! She said yes. I asked if I could borrow her car to East Coast for a while and then return her later, she simply asked, "now?" I said yes and she passed me her car key from her bag! Amazing! Praise the Lord! :D

I jumped for joy and I ran to the locker room and showed Lilian the key. We were both simply too rejoiced for words! Heheheh.. it might sound somthing silly or nothin much, but to both of us at that moment, we really were very very happy! Hence, without further delay, we jumped to our feet and make a rush for the door. And bid Shanice goodbye as well. Heh.

But something stupid happened again. As I was making my way out of the car park, the wheel hit the cashcard kerb, where I was supposed to exit, and some of the paint came off and stuck on the the rim of the wheel. Sigh.. I had a bad scare man! I thought something else was being damaged. It was not until we reach East Coast that we had a check and realised that it was just a wheel. God's protection! :D

We checked in at the chalet, had a good number, K3. Very near to the reception and we have a K3 brothers in our cell group as well.. (Kean, Kenneth and Kelly) So it was rather easy for us to remember, and the most important thing is that its so near to the main entrance. Made it easier for people to come. Heh. We settled down a while, said a little prayer in the place and then we went to rent some tables for our food and drove back to Office.

Returned SL the car key and bought her Teh-Si from the coffeeshop at Eunos. But then, she was in a hurry, and I think she don't really drink take-away drinks as well. She didn't drink that. So sad.. but nevermind, there'll be a chance to repay her! :D

So glad to have such a manager like her. Words can't describe how much I really like her and I'm really so touched and blessed. Hahaha.. it might seem a silly and small thing, but to me, it really means a lot! hee.. :p

Lilian and I then made our way back to Clementi, had our first meal of the day, we fasted fully from 6am-6pm. But in fact, I haven't been eating since 7pm the previous day. So it was almost a 23 hour fast for me. Hehe. We had Pork porridge at the famous hawker at clementi, and then head off to get the rest of the stuffs that we need and back to her house again, left the stuffs and then to Normanton Park for cell group meeting.

Had a good meeting. Went back to Lilian's place again, prepared all the necessary ingredients till 245am as I mentioned earlier, and then take a short nap. Yes. I call it a nap. Cuz we only closed our eyes for 4 hours. But we were all deadbeat that we all really fell into a deep sleep. Huizhen was at Lilian's place as well.. we had a pretty good time sharing and fellowshipping. Guess we should have more of this, but maybe not all the time. Heh.

We started cooking again from 7am... all the way till about 1030am. It was rather rush as Jonna, Keith & Wai Sum came at.. I also don't know what time. Maybe it was 9am then? No idea. Too busy cooking then. Hehe.

But we managed to complete everything, had a bath and head off to East Coast again, in 2 separate cabs and then we had a waiting period. Supposed to start at 11am. But we reached at 1140am? Waited till about 1plus before we really started to have our lunch, and then to play the games. It was rather fun. Think we had about 4-5 games, and I guess all of us had fun. Hehehe.. nice nice.. :D

But I'm soooooooo tired now. And I'm amazed by the amount of things that I've typed out. I can't even think properly to reply a good sms now. Just got a sms from Lilian, thanking and and telling me that she really enjoyed the 11/2 days we had together, and getting to know me better. Heh. It was fun. Got to know her pattern also. Hehe.. I think it was a really good week for me.

Tomorrow wont be too easy for me as well. Gotta go church, and then come back to do what I was supposed to do today. Yes, vacuuming and mopping and changing of the bedsheets. Sigh.. gotta go hang the clothes now. Mum didn't even wash the clothes while I was out for 2 days. What I wore on Thursday is still in the pail. Threw all into the machine earlier, and I guess its done now. Gonna hang the clothes, and then ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...................... :D

Saturday night
Mmm..woke up at 10am this morning. And I think I'm satisfied. Heh. Changed bedsheets and vacuum and mop the floor, took a bath and left home for my lunch appointment with Sarah & Melvin.

Think we had a pretty good time, talking about how my work is, how church is, and other than that, I think we didn't talk alot? Did we? But we were at City Hall's Cafe Cartel from 130pm-3pm. Thats like 11/2 hour and I guess I talked the most? Or it was a rather fair share between me & Sarah. That should be the way, I guess. A more relaxed atmosphere, rather than just work. Hee.. Happy. :)

I had the Ribs, as usual. And it was rather cold. Don't like the outlet at City Hall. Prefers Suntec's. :p

They serve warm bread as well. Unlike City Hall's. Cold hard bread. Hmm.. I paid for the meal. $30 over bucks. Mmmm.. am I supposed to pay? Maybe. I asked them out for meal. But they didn't even ask if they need to pay me back! Thats funny. Haha. I didn't expect that I had to pay for this meal. But then, ok lah. Since they are my clients, and Thank God I had the money. Last sat, I wouldn't have this amount in my bank. Haha.. :p

Oh yah. I forgot to mention that we were supposed to meet at Suntec. Sarah got the place wrongly. I was at Suntec while she went to City Hall. And it was when she asked if I'm there already that I told her I'm inside. I looked out and there was nobody! I had the idea then that she must be at City Hall. I called her, and she was at City Hall! And she requested that I walked over. Alright. When I was there, Melvin was late. Not there yet. But he came pretty soon. Probably 5 minutes after me. And I walked a long 10 minutes from Suntec's one end to City Hall. And to think that I was early at Suntec, roaming around man. Sigh..

So I took a train back home, walked home, talked to mum a little. Mmm.. very difficult to talk to her nowadays. Dunno what to say and I feel that I'm restrained. Shouldnt be the way. But, I just don't feel safe telling her things. You don't know who she'll tell. I guess I keep a lot of things to myself. Or rather, I'll tell more things to other people. Than my mother. Don't really get to talk to her as well. I guess I'm either stick to the TV, or the computer screen. Sigh.. Dunno what to do man.

We went for a facial. And almost fall out again. Coz of money. Sigh. God created money for good. Money's original intention was for us to use. Why did we all become slaves to money? And the power of money is just so great that it can cause families to break up, relationships and friendships to turn sour. What has the world become? Horrendous. Eeekkss...

Had dinner and then back home. Watched the 7pm show on Channel U. I don't normally like Channel U's show. But I like this show. One of the lead actor is a wine-taster. But not a normal one. He only gets to taste the leftover wine. And he and his mother are the lowest level of people in the GU family. Gu Family is rich and they are a family of wine-maker. Many levels of people in the family. Even the maids and servants get better treatment than Ah Chun (leftover wine taster). I know right from that start that he won't remain that low forever. He'll strike it big one day. And true enough, he was recommended to be the Fire Master today. To watch over the fire, and ensure that the best wine is produced. Production of wine depends alot on the fire. How dense and how hot it should be, will determine how the wine will taste like. Having worked in the wine factory for 20 over years, Ah Chun had worked in all the different sections and has learnt pretty much from the previous Fire Master.

This set me thinking and I had a revelation from the show tonight. Never underestimate those who are of a lower level or may not be as good as you. As long as you are willing to work hard, you'll surpass them one day. Hard work always lead to promotion. Someday, somehow, someone will regconize your efforts. I know that my reward will be great in Heaven. God sees what I'm doing and He'll reward me accordingly. I live to please God. Not to please Man. So why should I work so hard to please everyone? :/

I think there are many issues in my life that I really have to deal with. God is moulding and changing me everyday. Let the Creator redempt what He has originally intended to! Hallelujah! :D

Thank God Its Friday!!
Hehe.. been a long week. Had a long week. Was really sort of looking forward to this weekend. Been a long time I can really sleep in... or at least I felt so.. and I can do that tomorrow! Latest till 10am. Then I'll have to clean up the house, normal weekend duties, and then to meet Sarah & Melvin for lunch at Suntec's Cafe Cartel. Heh. :p

And guess there isn't anyone that I can think of to go out shopping with me. Really no one that I can think of. Most of the people are spending time with their boyfriends, or family. Sigh. I'll like to go walk a little, and meet up some people. But, who? MMmm... Probably I'll just go to Grandma's house after meeting my clients. Missed grandma's place last saturday, coz the fridge was spoilt and gotta stay in to wait for the delivery man. Guess mum'll be going tomorrow. I shall make my way there then. Hmm..

Been almost to the east & west today. TP in the morning, NYP's appt cancelled, so to NUS to deliver policy. And NWS actually wanted to take up the PruLife that I proposed previously. I had forgotten alll about it man. heh. totally. No impression at all. Heh. Bad. Guess I don't have a good record. Mmm.. too lazy and too many things to do at times. Hee.. And went back to office after that. Reached at about 2pm? Then unpacked some stuffs, made some calls, sent some emails, and then it was 5plus liaoz.

Went to buona vista to meet Emily, then had dinner at the hawker near Dover. Oh ya. Today's meal includes:

Breakfast: -cheese and ham wholemeal sandwich + daisy milk.
(don't ever try daisy..Eeeeeeeekkkkkkssss....)

Lunch: -3 slices of bread with sardine, cheese and egg mayo each, + packet of milo.

Dinner: -Muesli bar, luxury biscuits, hot milo.

Mmmmm.. looks pathetic eh? Hehe.. guess thats the way to go to a slim figure.. hahaha... way to go!! Hehe...

Gotta get going now. Its pretty late. Better sleep early to enjoy my long sleep before I'm gonna lose it again till next sat. Heh. Oh. Next sat got chalet.. gonna stay at Lilian's place next fri.. MMmmm.. yaya.... :P

Tired
Had what I'd call a good rest? And woke up at about 9am I guess.
Its been a long long time since I last got up this late. Heh. Good life huh? The advantage of being in this flexible line. That'll really allow me to serve God. Heh. :p

Went to office and reached at about 11am. Slightly earlier. Hee.. :P
Did lotsa paperwork. Or at least I thought so. And wasted precious time away. I ought to be making calls! Urgh. :/

Anyway, talked to SL a little. She was asking me about the coffeeshop. She actually went there to take a look. And she was going back to take a 2nd look. Heh. They are really interested to take over the coffeeshop man. Hee.. :D

Good food.. No worries. Heh. I really hope that I can be a part of them in future man. Heh. Business. Good business. Heh. But I wonder if they'll allow me to. Keke..

Before I knew it, it was 1230pm aka LUNCH TIME! heh. Went to the industrial canteen. Had Yong Tau Foo soup. No rice or noodle.
Back to the office, and I don't know what I did back there. Mmmm.. more paper work I guess and then when I finally sit down to make calls, it was like 4plus already. Heh. Bad. Didnt do much today. Met up with Clara. A rather short meeting. Dinner at Northpoint foodcourt and I had fried bee hoon with a long fish cake. Yum yum!! :p

Then to my appt at 293's Mac'Donalds. Waste my time again. This is the 3rd time I'm meeting him and he still want to consider. I really wonder what he wants and what he's after. Haiz.. But he said that he'll let me know tomorrow. So immediately after that, I packed up and left. Wanted to leave at 845pm for my 9pm show. Ended up left at 920pm. I took a cab home. Reached home at about 930pm. Finished the last bit, and then took a bath and here I am again. :)

Tomorrow's gonna be a much longer day. I'll have to go TP, then to NYP, then to NUS, and then to Cell Grp at Normanton Park. At least, the final destination matches. Hee. 4 appts tomorrow and then cell grp. Lord, strengthen me and give me the energy to last through the whole day.

*Yawn*... time to do my QT. And then ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz..........

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......
Its 233am and I'm still in front of my flat screen.

In fact, I just came back at around 2am. Had overnight prayer meeting in church. Left at 1am. Shared a cab with Emily and I passed her $15. I wonder how much it'll be by the time she reached home. :/

Rather sleepy and tired now. But had a good time in church. To know what Pastor Sun has been doing, and all the good things that had happened. Heh. That was real nice and encouraging to know. :D

Gotta sleep in tomorrow. Won't be up till my eyes open automatically. I've decided not to set any alarm for tomorrow. Had 2 appts today. Rather good I think, or at least. And I guess I can't continue this way for long term. Too tiring. I need to take a break. But it really satisfies when when you have a fruitful day. As long as you don't meet people, you'll neber have a case closed. Hee.. OKokie. Cannot be lazy.

Gotta work work work! And enjoy what I'm doing. Thank God I still do. And I pray very hard that the enthusiasm and discipline will neber go off. Hallelujah! :D

Mmm..
Hee.. this is real chim.. I guess i can just stick to this format...till i can manage to have the time to really sit down, and take a deeper look into this thing.. and see if I can actually get a better blog skin somewhere. I dunno when. Heh. :D

Had a long day today. Started with Gym at 8am in the morning. Genie picked me up at our usual place opposite the Community Centre and off to SAFRA. Had a rather long work out today I guess. Started with the trendmill. 25 minutes. Many times I really think of giving up. But I guess i did better today. Not that many times in fact. Better than last thursday. Heh. Then some stretches. Then the biceps, triceps, abdominals, then to the lower body. As in, the lower calf and thigh. Phew. Really quite alot. Hee. Think we ended the toning at about 10am. (That was from 8am!)

Then it was a relaxing time! Down to the jacuzzi,I think we stayed there for about... 30minutes! And oh yes! I get to swim today! TWO laps! hehe. Didnt had my goggles with me. So no choice. And there was NOBODY at the pool! It wasn't opened officially yet actually. But because I enter thr pool through the Gym's sidegate, I managed to enter the pool. Heh. Really enjoyed the short little laps... hehee.. havent been dipping in a long while. The occasional jacuzzi didn't help much. Keke. :D

After the work out, its work time. Went to NYP and met up with a prospect. Showed her the stuffs and she needed to discuss with her husband. Okie. Gave her the information. She'll get back to me again next Mon. Hee.. And then back to office. Oh ya. Genie called when I was in the train. She had to go back to Office and she offered to bring me sandwicheds. She prepared them herself! Hee. so nice of her. Really appreciate that! Make me paiseh.. heh..;D

And made some calls in the office, talked to the new gals from AIA. They really don't look like 27. But they are. And one of them is getting married on the 5th Jun! Oh man. Can't believe it. Heh. And made a few more calls. And I left at 6plus. Had appt at Tampines at 630pm. And I was late. First time I think, that I'm late for so long. 15minutes. Usually I'm early. Or should I say, all the time I'm early. And if I'm late, usually they'll also be late. This time round... Mmm.. take people for granted. Sigh. Just cause she's younger. Mmm..cannot. Must change this kind of mindset ah.. :p

Oh yes. Think my diet today was pretty well as well. Hee..

Breakfast: - Nothing

Lunch: - Seafood sandwich with Iced Milo at NYP,at 1230pm. And Genie's black pepper ham & chesse sandwich with lettuce and plain water at about 230pm.

Dinner: - 2 cheese bread with a glass of milk at home at 915pm.

Guess that was a little too late for dinner. But then, I was a little hungry. And looks like I had bread the whole day. Mmm.. Didnt take any rice for 2 days liaoz.. Let's see how long I can last. And tomorrow gotta be stricter liaoz. Heh.

Getting late. There's gonna be a overnight prayer meeting in Church tomorrow at 1130pm. So, gotta come home and bathed and change, and then to go church at night. heh..sounds interesting. Keke. Been having little sleep this week. Sleeping at like 1am and getting up at like 6-7am. MMm.. can't go on like that. Have to learn to sleep earlier. Hee.. Nitez!!
:D
