Nothing much to do

Ok.

So I've worked a little and played alot.

Today is just one of those days that are just plain boring.
We're not working, not studying, just lazing around.

The worst thing is that
you can't really travel cause you got stuff to do.
Just every morning.
Why can't we have social security, bike rentals, bank acc opening
all on the same day?

This is just beyond me.
Anyway. Hope my weekend starts real soon.
Then I can start working for real mann.
No more OJT. I'll be working unassisted.
I like the thought of that.

Hope its not too warm come monday.
You can kinda feel the weather warming up here.
Usually you'de freeze outside your blanket after a min.
Now u kinda start to feel abit warmer.
Just that you can't leave your house in shorts and a tee yet.

It seem the weather can get as hot as 40 to 45 degs.
That's just insane. But I guess that's Summer here.

I'm so bored right now. really.
Maybe I should go and sleep.
Oh wait.

I did that already.

Sarah.

14th May 2009, Wildwood - NJ

I'm exhausted after a day of shopping at Atlantic City.
We went from shop to shop,
particularly those plastered all over with SALE or CLEARANCE signs.

Went from COACH, to Nike, to Disney, to Adidas, to GAP, to Guess,
... and the list goes on...to Banana Republic, to Calvin Klein.

I told Farhan we girls would keep it under 4 hours...
But, who knew, even the guys couldn't! haha.
It's that exciting.

I think it can't get any better than 9.99USD for a pair of Ck Jeans.
Seriously.
I also managed to get a fleece jumper from Disney.
At the kids section. My jumper says: ages 10-12.

Hm. That's for the kid in me.
Bought some stuff at GAP.
Clothes were going for less that 6USD.
Basically... I like.

Got one for Dim and one for boyfriend. (:
Don't worry, didn't forget you guys.

Anyway, I got Moreyentation tmr at 3.45pm.
Better get some rest. (:

Still up.

Like a little child that's just been given a bag of sweets,
I'm enjoying every second of getting my laptop back from servicing.
I've missed it. Almost a good 10 days now since I last saw it.

Anyway, I'm rushing against time to load back all my programmes.
Wish me luck..!!

Oohs. Speaking of which I have a VISA interview at the US embassy tomorrow.
I hope I do OK. (:

Better get back to my stuff.

Finally uploaded my camera photos.

I finally found the time to transfer out the photos from my camera into my computer.
Unfortunately, this really isn't my computer. It's my mum's.
Mine's cranky and we sent it back to Toshiba for repair.

This is the cake that Ryan got for me on my birthday.


The little colourful hearts are made of chocolate. Nice to look at and nice to eat. Unlike the flowers. Goodness. It was more like stale wafer flowers on a pretty cake. Quite a killjoy. But nonetheless, we had a great time. And surprisingly, for non cake eaters that usually share a slice of cake for the formality of it, we actually finished the whole thing within 2 days.


Last weekend, my uncle pulled a pleasant surprise.
He bought the house a 40" plasma tv and a home theatre system.
Watching tv is so cool now. The living hall is like... voila~!

However, the old 29" tv is still in really good condition,
so it's been relocated to my parent's room, rather than throw it out.
We had to reshuffle all the furniture in the room to accomodate the tv.
Quality family time spent packing the house, again. :)
3rd weekend in a row to be precise.

Having had too much time today,
my uncle, Ryan and I made a little kennel for Tucker.

We cut up the home theater system box as soon as my dad said we could throw it out.
It's a more space saving option compared to the "landed property"
(using the plasma tv box) that my uncle wanted to make for Tucker.
We even added decorations to the front door.













Tucker looks annoyed. Seriously.











Well, that's all for today I guess. (:
Will post again sometime...

5 days past new year.

Funny how time flies.
It was a couple of weeks towards macau..
Then to christmas..
Days to the chalet...

Suddenly, new year celebrations are over.

Well. we had loads of whacky fun at downtown east.
Whilst waiting for the rest to come,
Frenny, Gina, and myself had TEA at Teasire.
Frenny and I shared this really interesting flower tea
and we competed to see who spilt less tea.

Actually the net worth of everything that Frenny and I shared would probably be loads more than the amount that we would have consumed had we not shared the food (in a bid to bluff ourselves that we would consume less food that way).

Later after Jian Qiang joined us, we went to the arcade where we won 2 tweety stuffed toys...
not by virtue of the fact that we got lucky, but purely because this machine guzzled our coins. We spent a good $90. Good old childish (and expensive) fun.

We waited for Yuan Ting and Yun Tong to turn up with the long list of stuff to pick up from NTUC. Only to find that none of the items in the list were bought. Well at least they brought the key entertainment. Lol.

Later, Frenny and I watched Wu Zhong Ming and Cao Ge onstage at downtown east.

Back in the chalet, we were admiring our prizes for the day.
Once Jih Huan and Melvin reached we played Bang! (card game) to the tunes of Ayumi Hamasaki in the background.

We started to watch 21 at about 1.45am but not without a bowl of hot cup noodles for the greedy souls. The show sparked off a sudden craze in the room where Yun Tong, Jih Huan, Melvin and myself were determined to uncover the gameshow host theory and tried to count cards.
It is difficult. extremely difficult. So we gave up after awhile and played rounds and rounds of bridge. Suddenly it was 8am. Just as Frenny got up, I went to slp.

Anyway, after brunch we went to the arcarde to spend the day. Topped up the arcade card with $80 but had $160 value to play with. Pure madness & bliss.

Went back to the chalet to watch Supersize me. Ironically doing so whilst sharing KFC with Frenny.

Had a cool BBQ with loads of satay and chicken wings, but a shortage of marshmallows.

Then they played cards, whilst I iced a less than desirable cake.
The lights went off and we watched a mystery drama series.
It was 30% lame, 30% scary and 30% mystery... 10% spoof.
So mysterious that the guys were hugging tweetys,
snatching pillows and looking away.

Well, it was one of those unusually inactive, unlively countdowns.
Such that everyone around: next door, outside, bbq pits
were excited and counting down. Everyone except for us.

Those were the highlights of the year end chalet. (:

Well Ryan just sent me a big bouquet of flowers.
Thanks for the wonderful surprise.

Pure bliss.

It has been almost pure bliss for 2 weeks now.
Except for falling sick for about a week,
I have had pure fun doing nothing.
Lazing around is rewarding. (:

I have also assumed the role of ahmat (slang for chauffeur),
other than that, the royal cook.

I like my holiday. Alot.
Been mapling alot though,
but I'll be away for awhile (from the 19th dec - 24th dec)
because I'll be on a short trip to China/Maccau.
However, I'll be able to pick Frenny up from the airport (18th dec)
and join my merry gang for the year end chalet.
Oooohs. Can't wait. Yayys.

So no blogging,no mapling then. (:

Also managed to drag myself out for a nice long morning walk with Mel and Tucker.

Recently went to watch a Russian circus act at downtown east with Mel.
It was "ohhh so cool" with trapeeze acts, clown acts, aerial acrobatics,
juggling, unicycles and pyrotechnics.

I also caught up with a crazy bunch of colleagues from M&C over lunch.
Did i mention that my sis now works there?
Anyway we had lunch together,
lots of laughs and enough fun
to last a good while before we meet again.(:

My christmas tree is up,
all thanks to the wonderful sister and Ryan.
No thanks to Tuck tuck. (:
Oh, but it does lack christmas lights.

Hugs and kisses to all my friends.

Countdown 13 days to Christmas...
