Went for cgm that day @ Potong Pasir. Played a word-puzzle game:


"I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu, kept people looking so hard for facts and for other it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books were not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. To others, it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. YES, THERE WILL BE SOME REALLY EASY ONES TO SPOT. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. One little lady says she brews a cup of tea, so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now for there are really sixteen names of books of the Bible in this story."


Good luck & have fun!

The answers will be revealed next week =) GO TRY!

Had our annual family chalet on the 17th-20th June @ the ultra-ulu National Service Resort & Country Club.

Sadly, I had to reach there late on Friday midnite, leave early in Saturday evening & rush down on Sunday afternoon after giving tuition. It's no wonder the adults were a tad miffed that their daughter/niece/granddaughter cant take a day off from her activities when they sacrificed a 4day leave for the lot of us. My bad =p

Enough talk. Here're the photos to document the activities...


3 beautiful pwincesses: Brenda, Stephanie & Sara =)
(Author's Note: I accidentally dunked Stephie b4 she had time to take a deep breath. Poor girl almost cried. *oops*)


Interesting Fact No. 1 About My Family:

Everyone will gang up against SanJiu *yes, he's the arrogant-looking one in the right* in water-fights... of which, we'll all lose. Dun ask me why close to 6 grown ppl cant take down one middle-age-guy... Mayb the answer lies in the powerful (& blerdy painful) water jets he propel.

1 word: XIAM!

(Author's Note: Thou this year, they managed to pin his arms down & attack... then again, it's not really attack if he said it's just like a jacuzzi rite? Diaoz~!~!)

Interesting Fact No. 2 About My Family... isnt that interesting after all...:

Everyone else avoids us in the pool.


Well, as the rest are beating one another senseless in the deep pool, Aunt Michelle went sea-shell picking with my mum & grandparents. The entire stretch of sand was littered with little pink seashells that the laydees found irresistible. Apparently, Grandpa scooped the whole lot of gravel + shells & dump them in the shade for the 3 women to pick hahaha!


The loot, courtesy of Mother Nature... Just check out the quantity to be shared between Brenda, Stephie Sara, ShuPei & me! All these after 6 whole hours of squatting in the gravel *I aint gonna sit on the gravel & grind my bikini bottom to bits, u noe* 2 days... & the other 3 girls already took theirs so all these belongs to Princess Sara & me muahahaha!!!


A closer look: Mother Nature may be our fallen sister but she sure does make some pretty shells, eh?

(Author's Note: Save for the few that look like *cough* pink-tipped ribbed dildos, the rest are pretty decent looking. & no, I'm definitely not taking a photo of them & posting here.)


Introducing the woman who made it possible: My Er Jiu Mu aka Aunt Michelle-Picks-SeaShells-At-The-SeaShore...

(Author's Note: I wonder if I'll be as zealous as her in collecting stuff for my future daughter's arts & craft project...)


...... & her rapping husband who failed miserably to be a percussionist, succeeding instead in irritating the hell out of his siblings bwahahaha


Interesting Fact No. 3 About My Family:

The KTV gang: EVERY gathering will have the KTV set on... Dun ask me why. Kan lai lian chalet ye bu fang guo....
(from left: Daddy, XiaoYi, ErJiu, Mummy, SanJiu. Lying unconscious on the couch is my brother aka the defective water-warrior bwahahah!)


The Original XiaoBuDian with 2 whistling sparklers


OOOOO!!!! Go catch Batman Begins!!! It's darn good!!!

(Author's Note: I'm still tickled by how that droolsome Christian Bale said "WO BU SHI FAN REN!".... BWAHAHAHAH!!!)

(Author's Note Again: I'll show the mobile charm another day muahaha! Working in Life has its perks!)

It's already my 10th day @ ST Life! as temp admin ass asst & I cant believe this entry isnt up yet. Too busy lah... after work, I'd usually zip down to fellowship & last week, we had our Emerge conference *it's totally empowering man... missing the atmosphere =(* Also, dinners w frens & family... What can I say, it's great to be busy =)

Really must thank the Lord for this financial blessing man... Jade called saying they need someone urgently in the editorial department & in less than 12 hours, I start work liao. 1st day only & I've been given training for Coyote_3 & Lotus... I can see the urgency liao.

Currently, I'm happily keeping my calves *I'm wearing heels everyday duh* toned everyday. And why they cant just settle with 2 printers side by side, together with the fax machine & the stationary cabinet, is lost on me. I guess it's their perverse pleasure to make ppl stomp on the horrid carpeting *I feel like a blerdy fat rhino everytime I had to walk past this gorgeously yummylicious intern with the creaky spot beside his desk*

Then again, I'll always look busy to Sumiko & her secretary, PatHee,... So I guess it's good? =P

As of date, I'm in-charge of

• Filing photocopied faxes & passing the originals to respective staff members
• Photocopying layouts *they call them dummies... the layouts I mean, not the errand-girl... I hope lah!* of Life! & Urban to all 15 editors... instantaneously
• Printing & filing emails (Gawd... THE EMAILS!!! ARGGGH!!!) from the STLife inbox
• Keeping the place neat & tidy
• Printing & updating the weekly & daily TV listings for channel8, 5 & U, suria, central & cna.
• Settling Urban & other Life! contests
• Manning the phone-lines... with a smile in my voice *cant let them know how chao-bin I am rite =p*
• Clearing ours & KohBoonPin's in-trays *apparently, he has his periods more often than us gurls in the office, groan...*

...... & something tells me there's more work on the way... BRING IT ON!!!

By my 4th day, I've already used up more paper fulfilling my job scope mentioned above than I did in 3 years of NUS. To top it off, I was informed that after 3 mths, everything filed is going to the karang-guni... They sure love their trees man...

It also turned out that my fellow colleague, Laiping, is also a CityHarvester! WOOHOO!!! That meant I was able to share a cab w her for all evening svcs for Emerge Conference =D PRAISE THE LORD!!! & there's a pool/billard room in the bldg too!!! WEEEeee!!!

10 days & counting... Only God knows if I'm extending my contract after the 15th of July.

Thou shalt end off with a pic of my dearest sisters in Christ =)

The sisters of W328... GRRRRRLLLLL POWERerERerERerER hahahaha!!!!!
That's ElioraJoanna, Isabelle, Liru, Eva, Hazel, me & ElyseMavis for u! Took this @ Suntec while celebrating Isabelle's 22nd bdae =)

Went to IKEA that day... They've got some pretty new & neat stuff there!

Which makes me all the more eager to get my own apartment one day.

In fact, I'm envisioning a small 3 or 4-room flat where I can fit all my precious barang & have as many wall fixtures as structurally possible so I dun have to worry abt the floor *Mum popped in her head some time during the entry of this blog to tsk-tsk @ my room floor... in disgust, no less*

In some place where the cooling breeze dun get obstructed, some time in the near/far future... with perhaps someone who can help make the house a home with me hahaha... *No, I'm not referring to the bhangla construction worker, u dimwit.* (Author's thoughts: speaking of the devil, a nasty image of EugeneTing flashed across my mind... hey, he DOES look like a bhangla wat!!!)

OOOhhh... Then everything will be dark-wood furniture & I'll have pale walls & wood-panels for flooring. & I'll have a fully equipped kitchen with an oven *somehow, the idea of baking someone something using his/her kitchen doesn't sound right*

Of course, I'll grab stuff from said Swedish store & throw them around so they'll end up:

here...

there...

and

everywhere... *broad grin to self =)*

Tired from all that fantasizing... Or mayb it's just early Saturday morning. whatever.

Later!
