Picnic at Vivocity
at first, i wondered..vivocity can picnic meh?very resourceful of the NIs to find a picnic spot at the rooftop garden..we were most identifiable with a huge 'stolen' giant trolley besides our 5 picnic mats...we ate for the first part of the picnic, sharing all the food though we can't see very well what we are eating as the garden is dimly lit. the haze was not so bad, hovering just below PSI 100, so was quite all right. the hazard was kids running around the wading pool, splashing water on poor ong mei mei...
latter half of the picnic, we cut the BD cake (creamy kind which i love!) and sang a 'fast forward' song, cos the wind was blowing out the candles at the same time..and guess, what..second BD cake we ate using spoons..delicious..we talked and gossips... we talked through the night til the security officer chased us away at 12mn...wish we could talk some more...
i like the design of vivocity, and some of the art pieces they placed at the rooftop, reminds me of gaudi's work..
Hazy Days
The haze is so bad these days..i seem to be working among clouds the moment i look out of the window. Everyone around me seems to be either having dry cough or having throat irritation.. and not to say, i'm affected by all these ailments too since 2-3 weeks ago, so my marathon training and stamina have been affected so badly....now i'm so worried!!! when marathon is just under 2 mths away!i'm so nervous abt jogging, half minded to whether shld i push myself but so worried cos i dunno what's my limits...now i try to avoid venturing outdoors unless necessary at least when the haze is not that bad
i had a good workout with Meiren Extreme, both of us set up a mini circuit at our office gym!! so impress with ourselves...kekeke...
and yah, shy rainbow finally made the trip to china, now among the terracotta warriors & so near to jiuzaigou.... but of course, how can she be without the usual adventures that happened to her...and at an unearthly hours of 1230am at T1, she was told that her name was not listed in the flight..wahlau, both of us just stared dumbly at the counter girl..speechless...and yes, luggage was overweight(with food & bak kwa) by 7kg, tho they were kind enough to waive almost half of it...anyway, they FINALLY gotten her back on the flight from SIN to Guangzhou BUT then were told she has to settle the domestic flight tickets from Guangzhou to Xian.. after quibbling a bit with them, they hurriedly took another 20 mins to FINALLY FINALLY confirm her on the domestic flight...phew..otherwise i cant imagine her lugging her very-overweight luggages around in guangzhou's airport... and yes, then she FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY reached MCK's house, yay! her adventures dun end there, as china's season turned colder, think end autumn now, and she being so afraid of the cold ...gotta do w/o the heater for a week cos they house heater is down for maintenance in prep for winter AND she gotta go bathe at hotel every other day! She should be having fun there lah, with her cooking and all..
Women's Day Out 2006
PSI was 130!! another 2o more, every outdoor activity have to be stopped, 200 everyone have to stay at home....and its WDO...to have this smelly haze on top of this event...
We met at SSC Booth & there we have 4 non-alumnis manning a ssc booth, so ironic hor..
Aerobics Marathon started at 2pm w/o a hitch..we looked lost among the most 'heong' women who needs maybe 5m circumference for them to swing and step energically into our spaces...i was practically panting every half an hour..but surprisingly manage to survive better than i expected!

A Month's of Work
Officially, i'm into my job for a month already...think getting used to the pace in Shenton Way, lunch crowd and the office culture there..i no longer mind the quiet of the office, welcoming the peace sometimes...still like the view best...I can see the haze from my office, quite bad..cant see the sea and boats when we used to be able to see quite far out...
Think my life getting quite boring cos realised i have less than 5 articles in the month of Sep! hmm....the most happening thing to me now is i got sore throat from eating too much mooncakes, developed into a hacking cough then now slightly asthmatic...made worse by the haze.. :/
