The end of zhanie's fujitsu lappy
i don't know if im heng or im sway. just after i sent in the cheque to clear my PC Loan,
我的电脑罢工!
it just keeps restart by itself. and a blue screen keeps popping out for 3 seconds which say: "physical dump of memory, please contact ur administrator..."
the service technician say i MUST bring it down for service. there is no way i an fix it at home with the helpline.
the warranty has long expired... and alot of photos are inside which i havent done backup.
and if it's hardware problem, that's it.
i will be forced to get a new lappy. and it also means i won't be online till my old lappy has recovered / i get a new one

The wonders of Make-Up
Some of you may have seen it in Facebook, but i thought it's interesting and i should share it with you guys.
就像世上很多事情,也是一个未知数。 尤其是工作。 我喜欢好玩的工作。可是好玩也有分很多种。Serious fun 算好玩吗? I shall not comment. 不过在这种拿不定主意的状态下,也会有点讨厌自己。
女人的心情像天气一样变幻无常,谁又可以完全不受天气影响?最近老是下雨,冷冰冰的,只想睡觉。
可能决定暂时停止blogging。就这样。

Orchard is pretty
Julie & Julia movie at Great World City with Brad yesterday. It was a show that we can closely relate to, especially for the younger actress Julie, who started blogging her daily experiences cooking each of the 524 recipes in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
Rather lengthy show but it's related to “food” and “blogging”, so quite interesting for both of us.
We had a Cedele carrot cake before going in to the theatre and bought sushi from Ichiban so that we can have a sushi picnic while watching the show.
But we dumb dumb forgotten to put it in our bag! -_- so when we arrived at the ticketing counter, the guard told Brad that he would confiscate our sushi cuz he has seen it! -_- I think we are real stupid. So in the end, went in to eat the air con.
Whenever I am at Great World City, I always crave for zion road’s prawn mee. Brad was craving for Fish n Co, so we had them all.
First to Fish n Co, then to zion road Char Kway Teow & prawn mee.
He finally bought his D700, it was too heavy for me.
Orchard road has lighted up with all the Xmas ding ding dang dang. Pretty sight.
I am working today. What a good way to spend my Saturday. But I think it’s much better than spending it in town. At least by sitting here, I can earn some money. The only sad thing is, Mediacorp’s canteen closes super early and there is no dinner for me. =( Have to buy dinner after I knock off.
This is taken during the Music College's graduation ceremony with Mr Eric Moo.

HOTCAKES!
1st day of work, I received these amusing phonecalls.
Siao Aunty (9am):"你好。现在报道本地新闻。新加坡最近一直下雨,请大家不要喝雨水。水有分雨水和垄沟水。全世界的 curry 都有毒,请大家不要吃。。。" (and continues for 15 minutes)
Siao Aunty (9am):"你好。最近金隆风暴,经济不好。请大家要买日历。。。"(continues for 15 minutes)
ME: -uncontrollable laughter- i just 狂笑 into the telephone.
On my 3rd day of work, I was expecting her call.
Siao Aunty (9am):“Today we talk about the economy. All Singapore power stations has been sold to Japan..." (continues for 5 minutes)
ME: ???
Siao Uncle 2 (12pm): -hokkien- 你看电视机!看电视!播 SIMI LAN JIAO!
ME: O_o
At least now i have the time at work to get amused by such lil things. At least now i have time to take a breather and surf net occasionally. At least now i can stick my butt in the chair for hours. AT least now the responsibility isn't that great.
I like the work environment here. Because i can wear the most tattered t-shirt and jeans and slippers to work. Because i get to feel the immediateness of a newsroom. Because i see how each of them has their own specific job scope allocated. Because it's all about teamwork. And most importantly, because it is in a perfect mandarin atmosphere.
You are forced to speak proper, fluent and perfect mandarin. 每一个音调都非常讲究. I can't like rojak english and chinese together because it will be classified as alien language. LOL
Note: it's perfect proper mandarin. no malaysian accent nor china accent.
and everyone there has a perfect voice, it's scary man.
But i like the working time. just have to get used to waking up earlier. but i end work at 3pm and after which i can go home and take a short nap, or go gym or go home shower and meet friends at night! and im able to eat dinner with grandaddy!
just like today. i went gym after work and bought some ingredients back home to make hotcakes!
i didnt buy those original ones and just put in oven. i mix with flour, milk and egg and stir for 15 minutes. there were lotsa of bubbles at first cuz i didnt stir fast enough. so it took a longer time to get a smooth paste.
and and and, grandaddy was so afraid that i mess up his kitchen that he just sit at the kitchen table and see me do. and he keep telling me to get a bigger bowl, do more and put oil in the pan etc etc.
but i refused to put oil. i wana try a oiless hot cake! and my gosh, it works! :D i think i had a bit of lady luck here.
it tastes exactly the same as mcdonalds hotcakes, i assure u. :D
and i enjoy such carefree moments :)

我怀念你的温柔、讨厌你的冷落
I should have went Science Centre to celebrate Halloween on Saturday. Instead, we went Far East for shopping. But it'a alright, the whole street is full of ghosts that day.
We had a early dinner at Cream Bistro at Pacific Plaza as we are heading for massage later on. It was raining so heavily. At that moment, I was hoping that i was hiding under my blanket.
Seafood Spaghetti Goreng. Abit of local spiciness. Yummy!
Cod fish.
Then went to Aramsa Spa in Bishan for massage massage. It was raining very heavily and the bus took a long time to come, so we were late.
The place is supposed to be very pretty but guess we went on the wrong weather :( Everywhere was darkness.
I haven't been to massage for a long long time. The aunty thought i couldn't take pressure, so she was merely rubbing my body.
So i requested her to be harder.
哇!她用了金刚神功!
我的手差点断掉!-_-
Basically spent my Sunday working on the powerpoint. Then went back Music College on Monday to teach the new manager before going to Singapore Chinese Chamber.
Thank you Mr Ian for giving me this opportunity to share with the restaurant management students.
Guess what, I am the youngest! -_-
Jang Jang!
Then met Ade for dinner at a not-yummy korean restaurant in Bugis. Ah Yi accompanied me before that and I bought this bag!
It costs $18 only. I concluded that I cannot get expensive bags because no matter how good quality the bag is, it wont last more than .. 6 months? Perhaps I should save money to buy a real good LV bag. But that is my two years goal. HA!
I went for 1 hour Nike Training Camp after work on Tuesday. Nearly DROP DEAD when the instructor want us to do interval training.
狼狈!
Im super free this week, and I guess for the rest of the month. Im seriously lacking human contact.
"I had a dream. Which I almost thought was real. It was simple, just having you ask me something mundane. You see, it’s not the question you ask. It’s the act of asking."
