The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.

decided to note down the different tasks i have to complete. and seeing it in a physical list is attack-inducing. my goodness. now i know why the last few weeks have been so relaxed. dear agnes please start work.

these two days of work has been almost negligible. tons of meetings and tutorials. it's already thursday! it's a pity i'm working on sunday. but that gives me a little half day off during a weekday. ((: and i adore lazy weekday afternoons not spent at work.

i must have eaten the most mooncakes ever this weekend. went to a couple of mooncake sampling bazaars and the best mooncakes are the flaky skin yam ones from peony jade and the mixed berry nuts from shangri-la. off-side: greg told me one mooncake equals your calorie intake for the day. yep just one!

it's been a foodie weekend. mini picnic with car and andrea. no photos coz we pretty much gobbled up most of car's prepared food before thinking of getting food shots done. and my dad brought the family for scissors cut curry rice at geylang and some famous porridge place that sells raw fish platters as well. mmm i love them century eggs!

the weekend breezed past yet again. without any work done. have to start studying properly already. and my phone's officially gone. gonna get a new one the next weekend!

and to pharm ppl, the new bnf is pink! PINK! i want one!! just bought this year's march version though..so no pink bnf for me )):


more random shots from kl


while waiting for lians to come join us , we found a 'sorry i'm taken' sign on our table and kinda got carried away...random hilarious shots coming your way..enjoy!









met car and andrea for our picnic at sentosa. the curse of us trio is back all over again. surprise surprise it rained. so we had our usual stop at carl jr's and shopping. watched the time traveller's wife. which wasn't too bad at all considering we wanted to watch inglourious basterds initially. changed our minds at the ticket counters at the last minute.

and we finally managed to set foot on sentosa. at quarter past nine. when the sun had set and the stars have blanketed the skies. went there for jazz by the beach. it's nice just hanging out knowing the weekend won't be ending that soon.

bernice can attest to this. for the last few days, i've been telling her that i would start my piling work proper tomorrow. it's been a few tomorrows and nothing has been started. it's worrying me that my friends are all scrambling to complete their work and yet i've been pretty much doing almost nothing. owells. tomorrow i'll start. for real.

our next stop - sky bar at traders hotel. stamped a must-visit by lianss coz of its wonderful view of the klcc towers.



the bar had little booths surrounding the hotel's lap pool. my heart fluttered just having to walk on the wooden platform.


these were the sunken seating booths with a full-length view of kl's night scene


the bewitching view


then the martinis and margaritas arrived




haha the very first self-timer shot..major fail! haha but we had a good laugh over this.




so this post which was backdated to saturday originally started off bout me getting a haircut on saturday. a haircut for me is a momentous event. mostly because it's an annual event. but i guess it went pretty mishap-less because i held a tight rein over what the hairdresser was doing with her scissors.

just a few hours ago on a sunday night, greg picked my sis and i up and all of us headed to dhan's. in total he cut greg's, alex's and bee's hair while he dyed greg's and bee's. at the end of the night, i was really tired. and i was just standing around. i don't know how dhana must have felt working on three heads for four hours straight. but he looked really beat when we said bye. everyone's hair is their crowning glory and i wouldn't know if i'd end up doing a half-past-ten job when i'm really exhausted. so thanks a million dhan! i can't believe you're leaving again. back then, 3 months seemed like a really long time. we have to do the whole biscuit thing at popeyes again before you leave alright!

the weekend's over yet again. really glad that work's been alright so far. been struggling to grasp much needed tact as well as pharm knowledge but i guess i'm still afloat. alright it's 3am time for bed.

like emily says, it's christmas come early! headed down to comex on friday with niron and i got myself the new ipod touch and a wireless mouse that's fuschia. my favourite kinda pink coz it's not too girly.

decided to get the itouch instead of the iphone coz i still love my qwerty keyboard a whole lot more. not ready to settle for touchscreen.

but the itouch is still a whole load of fun! spent the entire night looking and downloading apps for it. for the first time in years, i didn't mind waiting for the bus because time just flies when you're on the itouch. me likey a whole great load!


car andrea and i spent thursday night at the quaint blu-jaz cafe down near penang st. food was awesome. and we toasted our beers to our trip to taiwan next year.

feeling rather woozy from the booze right now, so i'm heading to bed. had a great night out with the girls. had a little mishap on the way home. hope andrea's feeling alright now.


it's my dad's birthday today. our family decided to celebrate by heading down to the buffet at plaza market cafe. the food was so so good. i overate. prob had enough for ten x dinners.

at the end of the night, i could hardly stand straight. and i felt like puking at the thought, sight and smell of any food. there was a mooncake test taste right outside the restaurant. i quaked and ran at the sight of the sales person offering a titbit of mooncake to me.

i'm pretty sure there was something wrong with the tuna mayo coz it tasted sour. was nauseous all the way home i almost hung the plastic bag i was holding around my ears.

it's 3am now and i can't sleep coz my tummy's too bloated still. miraculously, nothing's came up top or bottom wise so far. maybe it's just indigestion. i'm crossing my fingers that it is cause i really don't want to take an mc. been enjoying myself a whole lot at retail right now.


since i can't sleep anywayss

parry entertaining himself while we girls were let loose at KL's forever 21. mel's pretty lucky i must say, most bfs pull a super long face while waiting for their gfs to shop.


my idea of a dressing room in heaven. accessories galore...


shopped at Pavillion and Sungei Wang...found a italian place for to rest for dinner.



we had calamari rings


and pizza...


and ugh foood. i can't go on anymore. my head hurts just thinking bout food. time to try to sleep.

these few days, as i run this is the question that's replaying over and over in my head. today more so than ever. because it suddenly dawned upon me how roaringly near the end of year runs are. so i dragged myself out after coming home from work and began the tortourous pounding on the pavements. cover the whole of simei i said.

and with every step that brought me further away from home, i agonised at why really was i subjecting myself to such misery.

'til i stepped into a porthole and twisted my ankle that is. it felt really bad. and so began the fervous prayers of pls let it be okay i want to keep running.

so there! somewhere amongst the whining and grumbling, i still want to keep on running. even though i'm tired after work, even though my knees hurt. so suck it up agnes!

is it okay to wish that it would rain sometimes though?

and this is exactly how i feel right now

saturday was interesting..if i had to choose any word to describe it. had to go on stage for role play. would have be terrified out of my wits if not for the fact that seconds before we were called up, i was dozing and nodding off all over joy.

joy cherie and i decided to leave halfway at lunchtime coz we weren't paying attention anyways. and on the way out, we were three sneaky people who were running skittishly out towards the entrance and doubling over in laughter at how we were such lousy escapees.

somehow instead of heading home straight, we spent the best part of the afternoon at alexandra market, talking bout the most random stuff like blushing and being preggers tgt nxt time so that we can go to pilates classes and shop and have tea together. all while having the best avocado milkshake and tangyuan in ginger soup.

well we went back in the end with our tails between our legs coz there was a second attendance signing. FAIL! so at the end of the day, we had a laugh over what bad absconders we were!

friday was spent celebrating shijia and cuis' bdae with the usual 5 gals. shall blog more when pictures are up later!


and here are some photos from posts in my archives. paintballing back in KL!


armed with our paintball guns!



haha some silly photos while waiting for the place to open up





trooping off into the battle area!


parry got hit...by mel!


yay lookee at me! my gun-welding shot! i'm a horrible shooter though...


parry got so many of his own shots we thought the camera man had a crush on him.


aww we were looking super dejected coz we lost horribly. it was bloodshed.


victorious grins from the other team...grrr...



happy sated us after it all


paint-splattered helmets



lianey brought us for bak kut teh after...was super!



after a shop around in the neighbouring outlet stalls, we went back to lian's place, washed up and got ready for the night out which would be in another entry coz i'm sleepy! here's a little something to whet your curiosity!
