Mad Travel Rush

2009-07-16T00:54:00.001+08:00

Off to Taiwan in a few hours time and only just packed my luggage. Goodness. Haven't read up on Taiwan yet, all I have is a guide on my iPhone. Come to think of it, I was the same last-minute-no planning girl for my trip to Penang. Very very different from my preparation habits last time...I would do research, print out maps etc waaaaay before.Now? Hahaha. Now just be spontaneous and go travel

Red and White

Got the tickets to the National Day Parade preview! Thanks to Nick!I'm very happy because the ticket gets me a goodie bag.This year's goodie bag is a copycat Crumpler-like bag. Alot of colours but you cannot choose. The NS men (or boys) kept shouting, "NO CHOOSING...NO CHOOSING auntie...I said NO CHOOSING." So normal people will just take whatever colour they are given.I wanted pink colour.When

Jet Saver Light Challenge

2009-07-06T23:42:00.009+08:00

Wooohooo! To start off our Penang challenge, all the teams have to take an 'official' team photo. The Jetstar folks gave us a piece of A4 paper with "Team 3" printed on it and ask us to anyhow pose. Wah, I started to feel stressed. I'm sure it's a test. How can it be that we just anyhow pose? Where got so easy one? Must be a test to see how creative we can be. I started to signal by telepathy

Thanks to Jetstar!

Special thanks to Jetstar for flying Marianne and I to Penang for FREE!!We are so proud that we made it to the top ten. And once we got hold of the good news that we are in, we applied for leave from work immediately.Play first. Overwork later.I haven't blogged for ages but this competition got me logging in to blogger again. Oooh the sheer joy of typing nonsense onto my very own blogsite, how I

The Lasik Experience

2009-02-19T23:56:00.005+08:00

Here are some photos from my Lasik experience last week.That's me, smiling at the ceiling with Dr Theng behind me.I know it's really weird but the nurse actually snapped this photo of me pre-op without telling me why.I kept thinking about it and thought that maybe Dr Theng will give me a souvenir t-shirt with the photo printed on it or something....OR that he is collecting the photos for some

Lasik-ed and Got the T-Shirt

2009-02-17T11:29:00.004+08:00

No, it wasn't painful. But it was scary all right.10 minutes of fear was all it took. Now I need one month to recover. Corneas are still "unglued" you see, so I musn't touch my eyes one bit. Sleeping with goggles now and I scotch-taped the goggles to my face. Haven't been sleeping well but what to do? I'm very scared that I might rub my eyes and scratch out my corneas accidentally!!Night vision

Face Threading...Ouch!

2009-02-10T21:17:00.004+08:00

One thing I don't understand is...why must I have hair on my face? Ok wait. Not the gross manly type lah! Fine facial hair!! But still, I don't like having hair (no matter how fine) on my face.I also don't understand why we must have hair on our legs. Doesn't serve any biological purpose right? My mum used to bluff me that hairy legs are sexy because she didn't want me to shave my legs. But I

Stop Twittering

2009-02-10T15:59:00.003+08:00

I decided to stop syncing my tweets with my FB. For awhile. (But will still put up nonsensical tweets via mobile!)Didn't want people to think that I am skiving when I am in fact doing research and experimenting with "new media". Who would understand the personal hours sacrificed to make sure that I'm up to date with "new media"?? Who sees me doing spot checks on my website in the middle of the

Tweet Twitter

2009-02-09T11:52:00.003+08:00

YES! I did it! I added a nice twitter box to my side bar.I'm not such a tech idiot after all! Wooohooo!

Tweet Twit

2009-02-09T11:28:00.003+08:00

Ahhh. Made some progress in my attempt to get in touch with all the web fads.Signed up for twitter. Joined twitter.sgAdded this twitter thingy on the left.<----Added it to FB as well.Now! I just need to figure how to neaten the thingy on the left or add in the original widget. The thing is I don't think my template can add widget. So...hmmmm. Will see how. Maybe I'll change to blogger layouts.

Realised that I'm doing one post a month now.Blame it on Facebook. Photos and updates are all up there so didn't really have the urge to type on blogger.In the middle of the Chinese New Year now. Had a spring cleaning session where I put away old photographs, threw out old university texts, and put away some clothes in my "flea bag". Felt strange to do all these, especially the old photos and
