...belle is eight months...

Sis-in-law sent me her photos...so I better upload for those who have been asking how she's been. I noticed she has 4 little teeth already... The last photo was when Belle's barely 2 months old. That's how she change from cute to pretty... Sigh... I'm sure she is going to break many guys hearts ...

...Retreat @ Changi SAFRA Resort...

On Thursday, we started the first programme with a Franchisee Meeting. After which, we had BBQ and wealth building session like MJ, BJ, Hold'm...Wanted to go bowling but found no kaki...



























On Friday...We started with a feedback session and had lunch at Jumbo Seafood Restaurant. Then it's my turn to conduct the team-building session. However, it was raining and I had to improvise and made immediate changes. I made use of the upper floor and the main hall to conduct the games. I hope the group had fun and benefited from these 2 games.

...curiosity kills the cat...

For those who are still wondering how JANICE can ever = Mdm Pinkie...my new bowling balls' new home. Like I said earlier, not a matter of choice, cause no other colours...

Went to bowl last Saturday. It took me a little while to warm up...sigh...haven't seen my " 4 beggers" for a long time-for the benefit for those who don't bowl, it's 4X, which looks like XXXX continuously for 4 frames.

Tomorrrow, I will be at Changi Safra Resort for Franchisee Meeting & BBQ and on friday, it will be our Office Retreat...I will be conducting the Team Building section for 4 hours. Hopefully the weather will just be FINE cause it's going to be held outdoors.

...when someone bothers...

...when someone asked me, if I had a good day...

...when someone asked me, if I had my meal...

...when someone asked me, to really take good care...

BUT really...to get the full value of JOY of all this, I must have someone to divide it with.


It's so always so difficult to say the things we really want to say to person we wanna say to...

"Looking back, I have this to regret, that too often when I love, I did not say so..." Will I regret this time?

...my new bowling shoes...

On Saturday, went to Queensway Shopping Centre (QSC) with Kristine, to shop for her jogging and gym shoes...after 2 hours ( imagine, QSC can walk 2 hrs !?!), finally she settled for one after much bargaining. However, my search for my bowling shoes was...(no we don't sell bowling shoes here...it's at second floor...no we don't have, go peninsula plaza, no you can going bowling alley buy...) in vain.

After meeting Joanne for dinner, I persuaded her to go with me to Yishun Safra to try my luck...and I found this and a Bandung pink bag to replace my old (blue) one...sigh...no choice as well cause all others are for 2 more more balls. I really can't imagine, my 11 lbs blue with silver glitter ball in a bandung pink bag with a pair of white shoes...sala! sala!...Joanne said nobody will notice...but that's not me...total mismatch...hmm...

When I think it's ok to show you guys the pink thing, I will post it here. For now...just the shoes first.

My previous pair of bowling shoes rested in peace 1 year ago and I have left my personal bowl alone as well. Guess I have to pick it up again, since I can't do many other exercise, as much as I want to. If not, I will be more prone to more sprains here and there...

Gift of Friendship

Friendship is a priceless gift
that cannot be bought or sold,
But it's value is far greater than a mountain made of gold.
For gold is cold and lifeless, it can neither see nor hear
And in the time of trouble it is powerless to cheer
It has no ears to listen nor heart to understand,
It cannot bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand
So when you ask God for a gift
Be thankful if He sends
Not diamonds, pearls, or riches
But the love of real true friends
Helen Steiner Rice

...these accompanied me on my rest day at home...

Stayed in for the whole day to let my back rest completely... SALONPAS, DVD & CUP-A-NOODLE accompanied me...




Parents has gone to Jakarta again cause one of my brother's domestic helper got fired as she can't cook a decent meal at all. They can't cope with just one helper looking after Isabelle only. Immanuel will also be starting lesson in his new school again. My brother, being the Principal of the new primary school at the new premise (shifted 2 weeks ago) and also my sister-in-law has took up the new role as an acting Principal for the pre-school section, really have both of their hands full. Now, busy with the organizing and packing, all the shifting and cleaning up. With all that going on, my parents then volunteered to go over a month.

Then, my other brother is still on his attachment in Texas AirBase (RSAF). Everyone will only be back in SIngapore probably in October, hopefully to celebrate my dad's 70th birthday.

THEN, then I am HOME ALONE again... My strained back better recover soon, I really have plenty of work on hand to complete. Just finished 2 outlets renovation, now another 5 in the pipe line, July and August. Moon cake Festival coming, new outlets etc...

Ganbatte...

...frustrations I have with this lift upgrading @ my place...

Just came back from my KTV session and then can't find parking lots again...Have tried my luck many times and got fine for 3 times already for this year due to parking at unmarked lots or handicap lots. As if I got another choice, I am now waiting for someone to leave home at these kind of wee hours in the night. Will someone wake up...?

First was fines, next sprain back, now blogging while waiting for a parking lot...thanks to my new lift...so upload some photos we took earlier...or to put it this way...people who want to appear in my blog...

Kevin & Han - Lee Hom, DT, Jay Chou duet... Kevin & Cindy - Act cute?
Can't hit the note don't blame the mic...just stand like them...

Had a great time except...my back still give me problem and now still in my car waiting...finally got my lot at 0235hrs.

Better than $70/- fine...but gotta walk 2 blocks away...

...think I sprained my back...

After afternoon showers,
this was what I saw in the evening...(Bottom)

Who said Mary only had a little lamb...I saw 1 big one & 3 little ones...(Right)



My back pain was already present on Saturday, and I thought it was because I did not sleep properly...but today the pain became slightly worse. I hope tomorrow will be better cause I got so much to do.

Have been carrying my laptop up and down office. It can get a little heavy when I put the other documents together in the case. Now, I remember, on Friday, due to the lift up-grading at my place, I parked my car away from the new lift landing on Thursday cause there were some big crane coming over to haul the cement blocks up the flat. Then there was this inconsiderate motorcyclist neighbor parked his motorcycle right next to my driver seat door. When I went to my car, I could hardly stand next to my driver side door, and not talk about trying to struggle with my heavy laptop case, my 1 liter Nalgene water bottle, my bag and some files and get in to drive off.

And then...think I don't have to elaborate already...my sprained back. I do not practice yoga, neither do I practice squeezing myself into a square glass case and hold my breath under water as long as I can...so...now pain lo...and can't sleep...

...waiting for the ONE...

People whom I text often...may be you should just keep track of the number of I have included in my sms to you...if you think my sms to you have many 's then you may be the ONE I am waiting for...to make me laugh again...

Many of us, just rush through all our every day, every week, every month and every year without looking back if the beaches we have threaded on, we have left traces of footprints that is is there and still worth looking at.
Have been asking myself recently, the types of footprints that I have left behind me, to my family, my friends, my colleagues, people who have come in and out of my life...

The footprints may be vivid and clear for some of you and to some, it may be too light for you to trace exactly where it is. Well, then today may be the day that we should all start impacting people in our lives and to leave traceable footprints. Be it a deep or just a shallow print...we have left something behind...

For those of you who said my blog was nice...Nice...NIce...NICE...

Do you all like this green one?...looks like I am some pro-environment freak...please give you comments!

...will silence drift people apart...

"True friendship comes when silence between two people is comfortable." - Dave Tyson Gentry


How many of us can say this? So often silence will lead to a drifted friendship and it will come to a complete end in due course. However, I am thankful, I have a handful of friends who do not need to be in contact all the time but yet close at all times. It is the strong foundation that was laid for many years when our friendship started.

Whereas those many that we did not meet for too long and had to be left in silence...

People in this pix...we better meet soon else our fate will be...

I could write a joke book the last time when I asked you guys whether we should meet for some perspiration-less games like Pool, Bowling, Badminton in a Air Conditioned Hall etc. There came some creative answers like Ice Skating, Play Mahjong @ some air-conditioned house, indoor swimming etc...

Well, couldn't get everyone to meet the same day on Saturday(14/07). Can we meet at least for the easiest choice? Play Pool since at least 2 of you are interested in it excluding the 2 of us still in PFPD. Haha...guess who is the 2 who said "arh" to Pool...(be our cheer leaders or runners...ok? We need snacks, drinks, fingers massage etc sounds more like for wrestling ring...hee!)

...Heart Throb...Heart Beat...

Some things we go through...no matter who...no matter where...no matter what...it does not bring up our heart beat.

However, if the little important & precious person just strike the very little & right part of us, our heart beat just multiplies.

How long have we not experienced this?

Or have you recently experienced this?

If it does, usually we can't hide...it will be written all over us...

Hmm...you people must be wondering why I wrote this ya...it's a secret.

...Happy Birthday to me...

...I am one year old...

Started this blog last year...time flies...left it remote for almost 9 months. I think this won't happen again...

Friends keep reading then I will keep writing...haha...

...have to catch up my zzz...

Yup...went for my tim-sum as agreed and then got a call from my office, "we may have to report back to office, cause system is down..."


I was told that I will be updated on the status as to whether it is necessary to be back to office immediately...

Nevertheless...still ate my Peh Tan Chok, Soya King Fried Noodle, Cheong Fan with Char Siew...just to name a few, don't wish to make the people reading this salivate.

After much catching up and of course "photo-taking" session so that photos can be posted here, else 12 years of friendship, down the drain. My lovely God-daughter, Chloe will disown this Godma by her parents, Sean & Jamie.

Went back to Office at about 1500...and you all will not believe what time I reached home...0300hrs on 9 July 2007...12 hours flew...and all my tim sum I had in the afternoon kept my stomach from growling too loudly. I tahan till I grab some snacks at the petrol kiosk before I reach home.























Yup, like all of you will know, the workaholic me went back to work again the very day...and now still writing my blog...

Well, to prevent myself becoming part of the extinct mammal called PANDA in PRIMA for too many days, as some existing PANDA gets so excited, and exclaimed "Hurray" since he will see more PANDAs in PRIMA joining him...so I better "ketchup" on my sleep :) and still leave him to be the only one...(the only PANDA is more precious than having too many PANDAs in one place, right?...haha..."PANDA" when you read this, you should know who you are...)
