Guess how old is he?

WAVES FROM MACBOOK!

I am blogging from my Macbook, like FINALLY!

The internet at home is up and running, like FINALLY!

The last thing is to get the photoshop into my computer and i will be really satisfied.

It has been a hectic week. Attended tastings after tastings, writing and blogging together. Everyday Im lost. LOL

I guess now the internet at home is up, I can spend more time blogging at home.

The new project launch is getting nearer and nearer, everyone was so excited and anxious about it.

BUT I HAVEN'T STARTED ON ANYTHING YET.

I hope i can get things done by Monday and start to work on it soon.

Life has been moving too fast. I need a breather.

Im gona slow things down a little from next week onwards, eat less, exercise more and clear my blogging backlogs. and focus more on the new project!

New Paper Big Walk

For the fun of it (how fun can it be please!), i pulled 6 other people to join me in the New Paper Big Walk. One couldn't make it in the end and the other flew aeroplane, so left with the few of us.

I know u must be thinking that im crazy, i think so too. Waking up at 6am to go gym is a torture (i slept at 11am). Imagine I had a tasting and a photoshoot the day before and by the time i lie on my bed, it was already 12am.

I frantically got up, brush teeth and left the house. No, i didn't take a cab. I took a train to Promenade MRT station. Thank goodness it was good weather to begin with, which makes the walk easier. If it was raining, i think im the next person who flies aeroplane.

Breakfast was sausage egg macmuffin! :D

This year's Big Walk is so messy. A 5km walk ended in 30 minutes. And when we were about to start walking, we already saw the "1KM TO END POINT" sign which was absurbed. The journey is definitely not 5km. OR was it 500m? :P

Then it started to drizzle and i caught a horrible cold. I think it was the lack of sleep. So we walked from signapore flyer to marina bay sands and marina promenade and THE END! it was damn fast can.

And thinking that it was no kick, we walked back to singapore flyer to collect the goodie bag. ok so that makes it 10km?

Headed for early ramen lunch then tuition. I practically can shut my eyes and sleep everywhere.

我很累！

婚姻是爱情的坟墓

我曾经想成为婚礼策划员，希望自己可以为一对情侣最重要的一刻变成难忘的永恒。

可是因为担心可能会为前男友策划婚礼造成心理不平衡而打消念头。

今天听到一名本来从事财经的男生转行成为婚礼摄影师，因为想为情侣拍下永恒的爱而追求理想。

可是踏上这行后，才发现婚姻没有他想像中的漂亮。在＂Bread＂和＂Love＂之间，现代情侣选择婚姻多半是因为＂Bread＂。

拍结婚照的时候，看不到彼此眼里的爱情，反而只有一大堆的责任和有结婚的需要。

拍完结婚照后，两人就分头离开。

这不禁让他在旁猜测他们的婚姻到底能维持多久。

后来，一位刚认识的朋友向我分享她的前丈夫，因为爱上另一个有夫之妇而抛下儿妻离婚。

孩子每天都泪汪汪地问妈妈为什么爸爸不要他们。

听了真的很心酸。

在教堂里许下一生一世的承诺到底谁还会遵守一辈子？

当彼此决定白头偕老的时候，是因为＂需要＂和＂习惯＂，还是爱真的存在？

婚姻是爱情的坟墓，可是，每个人都想进去八卦一下自己是怎麽死的，结果真的死了。

爱情让我们甘心情愿跟所爱的人一起跳进坟墓裡去，然后互相指责对方把自己推下来。

婚姻是爱情的坟墓，爱情是婚姻的牺牲品。

我这一生除了爱情之外，一切还真的风调雨顺。因为总是努力，爱对方胜过于对方爱我，所以最后吃亏的终究是自己。那又能怎么办呢，Who would settle for the less?

其实无论有没有婚姻，有些爱情也是会住进坟墓里去的。然而，爱情的坟墓终究是比婚姻的坟墓美丽些，没有赡养费，也没有抚养权。

中学朋友结婚了。请帖做得很old school，仿佛回到中学时期他们相识的那段日子。15岁开始已经十指紧扣，祝他们一辈子幸福。

Haagen Daz Cocktail Party

Taken a few days ago during Haagen Daz Cocktail Party. I ate the Pork Liver Mee Sua during lunch and had a bad diarrhoea for that day, so I didn't dare to drink alot of the cocktail.

But i brought Haagen Daz ice cream back for the family!

It's going to be a long Friday. Im heading down to Singapore FOOD Festival now, thereafter Inception movie with Andrew at 9.15pm in Suntec. I ask Ah Yi to join me for Singapore Food Festival! :D

Then tomorrow, Im dragged Fungie with me for cake tasting at Hotel RE! before meeting Michelle and Lishan for a modelling shoot at Sunset Grill.

Sunday Morning - NEW PAPER Big Walk and rest rest rest.

Goodbye Fitness First

It's with a heavy heart that Im going to announce this.

I have terminated my membership with Fitness First and 31 July is my last day. This is not a concern to majority lah, but Im just feeling sad myself.

I like just having to take a feeder bus to AMK Hub to do my workout without having to travel to far far away. But the classes are really too rigid that I have to drag myself to exercise everytime. I am feeling least motivated to go nor am I feelng satisfied after the workout. I knew exactly which song they will be playing and what movement should I do! FOR ONE YEAR, I HAVE BEEN REPEATING IT.

And, I don't want to pay $150 monthly anymore.

The manager gave me a horribly hard time during the termination when i have strictly kept to the "one month notice" rule. Maybe I was too easily being bullied?

As to where am i heading next? i don't know.

*****

Im sure you guys have realised that i have been constantly working hard to bring up MissTamChiak profile lately. There's SUDDENLY lotsa tasting sessions and overnight, my twitter just became so busy that i can hardly manage.

I have been on the surface of food blogging for the past 3 years and now as i walk further in, i just get to know more of the dark sides of the blogging world and how competitive things are.

What i can say is, im doing this for a hobby and not trying to snatch fame from somebody or anything. So i hope nobody is viewing me as "dangerous". if there's tasting, i will share and food bloggers can go together.

And of course, suddenly my facebook has so many friends, half of them I have not met. And 3 to 4 of them are just TI KOH LAO AH BEIs trying to talk to me and leave some horny comments.

It's scary. Im feeling rather terrified and trying to step back and hide in a corner.

Now that i talk to so many of them in twitter everyday, or meet so many of them in tastings everytime, I m started to look at each of them with skepticism and building a protective wall around me.

And ok, Im leaking abit of secret here: Misstamchiak is having a BIG BOOM coming August. Meetings, brainstorming and discussions have been going on. At first when the idea was brought to me, i was in a lost. because although im excited, but i dunnoe how can it be done and how can i make it good.

And finally, discussions yesterday have sort of concluded and things have become clearer. Im so glad that so many of them are so kind in helping me with this. Im going to make it work and make it good.

Stay tuned :)

Anyway, this was taken at home with my macbook. cannot surf net, so use the photo button and camwhore lor!

Sometimes, I really hate my parents.

And I really hate it when people keep pressing the reject button of my phonecalls over stupid reasons. I'm not going to call anymore.

whoohoo!

MISSTAMCHIAK IS ON HUNGRYGOWHERE FRONT PAGE!

有些话只能藏在心里

我口袋里 还有你给的温馨
我的手心 还有你吻的气息
低低的云 让想念的人喘不过气
而你的背影 会在哪里平静

跟踪记忆 我才能和你接近
除了可惜 眼泪没有声音
有一些人 容易动情也容易忘情
我爱过了你 心永远在那里

好想好好爱你
这一句话只能藏成秘密
关上窗外的雨
反覆碰触你爱过的痕迹

好想好好爱你
却没有权利 再把你抱紧
从今以后 如果你能快乐
就别管我想你

一个人累的时候会想看什麽？

小王子说：「你知道的，一个人伤心的时候会想看落日。」那麽，一个人累的时候会想看什麽？

会不会也是天边的落日馀晖？抑或是一片绿油油的山峦？一齣无聊的卡通？一条傻头傻脑的小狗？还是想见到喜欢的人？

LOST

Took leave yesterday to go accompany Meiling on her excursion to Botanical Gardens with the Primary 1 kids. These kids are just so full of energy that the whole bus seems like a market and I can't hear myself at all.

But it was a fun experience and despite Meiling warning me how talkative and naughty these children are, I still adore them quite abit. But to keep up the same energy level as them is totally impossible. Im sure super worn out after the excursion.

*****

I am lost, in many many areas of my life. I cant seem to draw a line between personal life and work anymore. There are certain issues which I am forced to face with and I can't seem to find a solution to it. I need to find some guidance from within :(

*****

Happy Birthday AH YI! Stay young, pretty & healthy always. I love you :)



My one blog post consist of so much different emotions. 我是多种情感的怪物。

MacBook LAI LE!

Yes. After procrastinating for one year, i bought a macbook last friday. it was a mad mad rush because SIM closes at 6.45pm and i only knock off at 6pm. Evelyn & Chris came together because Evelyn has to use her SIM card to get discount while Chris has to use her credit card to pay for me (i paid her LX3 for her the last month so she did a favour in return. but of course, i must return the remaining lah).

It was a girls night out and so enjoyable. dinner was at some farm eating some paper chicken, followed by dessert at island creamery.

Big plans on the way -> stress, stress stress. it's difficult trying to keep a balance and not crossing over the line between two sides. rah.

TODAY

ME in office today. Colleague took this of me using the review Sony camera set. No makeup on, I didn't dare to show how mesys my table is. My colleague just commented that I have the messiest table of all. Because after finish writing one press release, I don't bother to place it nicely on my table. Instead, I literally threw it at one corner. Wait till i have the time then I clear lah. haha

Im going to get my laptop tonight. FINALLY. After close to 1 year? But im starting to feel the pinch of seperating my hard earned money, well i guess it's a need. Thank you Evelyn & Chris for accompanying. Loves! :D

Time flies. It's already July, half of 2010 has gone by swiftly. And this week has also gone by swiftly. I keep myself real busy and occupied, going for tasting, shooting, tuition etc etc. Though at the end of the day i get very tired, but im happy.

I am happy at work and I am happy with all the hobbies that I have and im happy that i have time to make connections with my family and friends. yes i get tired but everyday i smile in my dreams. What about u? Do u have a hobby? If you have been feeling so shag everyday from work, so tired that there's no energy for other pleasures in life, then please think again. What is important you u? money or relationship? health or work? if you find urself not interested at anything at all besides work and money, if u find urself not able to last a conversation with a person anymore, if u find urself only talking about how shag you are, you are probably losing a life.
