Backlogging

The thing about procrastinating and delaying updates is... either you don't have the 'heart' to churn up the past happenings, write and post anymore, or you forget.

In my case, it's both.

But I'm bored. So I'll try to dig..

• My bejeweled eye

All I did was to give it an extra hard rub. And in ard 2-3 days' time, I was presented with a red ruby:

Disgusting eh... it was damn itchy and painful too. Looked like a total freak. Went to doc's, he gave me antibiotics to eat and a cream to apply. But it doesn't subside at all. 2 days later, went back to the same clinic but this time it was another doc. He said I had 2 options: to do a small surgery to remove the pus or continue to take the medicine, but it could take as long as 6 months to heal. 6 months!!!! So I decided to do it the painful but fast way. So! What happened next was, I had the without a doubt the MOST PAINFUL jab of my life - on my eyelid. Couldn't control my tears, broke out in full cold sweat and felt faint right after. And then doc made a small cut in the inner lid and squeezed out the pus. At one point, I looked down and a teardrop fell on my lap. It was RED can.. meaning I was like crying blood. The whole process took only about 20mins. I went out of the room like a pirate - I was one-eyed, this little kid was looking at me in super wonder. And the mum was like, jie jie injured. Thanks leh. -_-"

Then voila! Immediately, it became like this!

Then 1 day later... this:

Glad I did it.. once again I'm amazed by my courage haha! Was on mc the whole week.

Ok... just as my writer's block was unblocked... I have to leave for an event now.

To be continued...

??????

I have many things to update. But now, I'm feeling down right sucky and somewhat insulted. And I have even more ?s than before.

Don't ask me what or why.

Can You Name The 7 Dwarves?

On the way to work this morning, my colleague asked me this question. Wah, I could only remember Dopey and Grumpy. So, googled in office and here they are!

Dopey: the youngest, sweetest, and silliest of the seven, and the only one to be completely bald and beardless; wears a too large lime green tunic and purple cap.

Grumpy: the grouchiest and most curmudgeonly of the group, though even he is supremely devoted to the beautiful Snow White; wears a red tunic, long white hair and beard.

Doc: the only one of the dwarfs to wear glasses (so presumably the most intellectual); wears an orange-brown tunic, long white hair and beard.

Happy: the most rotund of the dwarfs; wears a brownish two-tone tunic, yellow cap, long white hair and beard.

Bashful: evokes his bashful nature through a classic pose of shyness (hands clasped behind back, shoulders slightly raised, eyes upturned).

Sneezy: frequently shown with one finger underneath his nose, as if trying to stifle a sneeze; sometimes difficult to distinguish between Sleepy and Bashful; wears a yellow-brown tunic, long white hair and beard.

Sleepy: perhaps the most difficult to differentiate between Sleepy and Bashful, though he wears a perpetually sleepy looking, heavily lidded expression on his face; wears a brownish tunic, green cap, long white hair and beard.

But I prefer this!!

Fruits Day!

In a bid to promote a healthy lifestyle @ work, all staff were given a personalised box of fruits each. I thought it's very nice!

Not Everyday is Saturday

After a couple of busy months, now I'm bored again. Damn bored.

My job's momentum goes like this:

However, the x-y axes are not so evenly spaced out. It's a slow period for me now, but it's not fair to say I have nothing to do, coz my dept (3 pax, considered a dept?) is perpetually bogged with projects and we are like forced-kpos of every other dept; It's just that I have no urgent deadlines now.

Ha, if I were you, reading my blog now, I will be seriously bored by it too. The title also quite tak-link. And I might not wish that everyday is Saturday too.

@ 2am

What was I doing at 2am on 29 May?

Eat dessert. @ holland V.

Geddit?

Anyways, we checked out this dessert bar after hearing about it here and there. Quite one of a kind I would say, with the setup and ambience. We sat at the bar, though there were sofa seats to lounge about.

The menu wasn't very extensive, but it was exquisite though. And for each dessert, there is a wine recommendation to it. As usual, Yours Truly ordered the warm chocolate tart.

Verdict? Absolutely FANTASTIC. See the flowing chocolate lava? Bittersweet chocolate with a tangy spize to it. The strawberry sorbet was very nice too!

Ain't enough, we ordered another one. The Araguani H2O

This was quite special, the choc cube was actually frozen, and we were asked to wait for a while before cracking the top open with a spoon. Oh by the way, upon serving each dish, the server will explain the dessert to you, which was quite professional.

See the dots? Each dessert is craftfully decorated as a masterpiece of its own.

How it looked like when it's cracked opened.

Verdict: Nice. If you look carefully, there is a caramel core within. The white white sorbet is yummy with a slight pomelo-ish taste too.

This was a perfect sweet ending for my Saturday. Well not really but *zipped*. Watched SATC 2 which I absolutely loved. Not so much of a plot but the lines were witty and the fashion was extravagant, exaggerating and yet interesting. It was a great day (and night). =)

The Little Boat Vs The Mighty Aeroplane

Rocking to and fro in a little boat on the vast ocean

Looking at the airplane soaring across the sky above
Wondering when will my turn come
But, do I really want to be flying?
Is it really all high and mighty in the skies?

Ain't in the mood to be a poet, happened to come across this picture which was taken @ Nice.. Boliao inspiration.

Clueless

About what will happen (But of course).

About what is happening.

About what has happened.

五月.天(and 夜)

1st post of May 2010... when May is already half, eh no, almost gone.

Have been pretty busy @ work for the past few weeks... After a long period of preparation, my customer appreciation dinner was finally over and done with. It was held at the show gallery of Reflections @ Keppel Bay. Thought it was a weird place to hold a function initially, as it is after all, a 'showflat', but after recce-ing the place, it was actually quite a classy and nice place. Great view too... and if you've been to Marina Keppel Bay, it's even nicer at night. On the whole, as far as the flow and execution of the event are concerned, I'm pretty satisfied with it. The whole place was done up nicely with the ambient lightings and we brought in a 2pc live band, which also plays at Timbre. In the middle of the event, the cruise ship which was docked at the far end went pass right in front of us. Ain't sua ku, but it was actually pretty spectacular. Ain't in time to snap it though.

Took part in the JPM Run for the 4th year... Have not run at all since last year's run, really thought I would just drop dead on the track. Timing was 47.53mins this year, I'm very happy with it liao haha. As usual, Xin came over and passed me a glass of champagne. Really can't comprehend the either idiocracy or buay paiseh-ness of some people. We were at our designated tent, despite the VERY obvious exclusivity and a VERY big logo, these people still came IN and tried to take drinks and food. They were all shoo-ed away like flies by us man. The next thing we know was, just as we were leaving, some people came streaming in to help themselves to the leftovers and one auntie came very equipped with tupperware and went from tent to tent to dabao. Thumbs up to them. Middle fingers actually.

Had a talk with a friend previously, regarding the skill of closing one-eye. As usual, the min-boggled me came out with this - "To open one eye or to close one eye? Go figure. Neither is easy to master." It's not the same you know. Am not sure if it's self-denial or making life easier though. Still, go figure it out yourselves.

Somehow I think I'm becoming more n more boring and stale.
