Oh hello November :)
Sunday, November 8, 2015
Hello world wide web! Budget season is finally over!
It's been so long since I logged into this space. And it's already November. I hate saying this but man the days are long and the years are indeed very short. Before we all know it, 2015 is coming to an end already.
Had a fabulous October because the boy flew back for 3 weeks. It's amazing there's still so many things to talk about when we converse almost daily via text and video calls. We also found time to head down to Universal Studios Singapore...
PSI 300
Thursday, September 24, 2015
Open your windows now and you will know what helpless smells like. It's official. We have hit the big 3 in PSI as of 7pm today.
Woke up to burning smell in the middle of the night and I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise!
Keep yourselves hydrated and stay indoors everyone.

It's September already?
Saturday, September 5, 2015
Time is flying by way too fast and before I actually realized it - it's already September.
Work has been extraordinarily busy these days with 2 new analysts coming on board. We had a fairly drastic turnover in the first half of the year and I'm just glad the team is now fully on track.
The month is already starting right with a few things on track:
1) The team is now functioning on full headcount;
2) I've been given full autonomy to coach the 2 newbies;
3) My training course on some skills upgrading...
Interruption
Monday, January 26, 2015
Please allow me to interrupt the avalanche of Myanmar trip updates with a piece of good news. Just booked my flights to Shanghai in May/June at a really cheap price. On SQ! =)
On another note, 23 more days to the boy returning home for Chinese New Year. Can't wait to spend one full week before he flies off again.
January is ending so quickly - we are already at the last leg of the first month of 2015! Brand new week, brand new day, brand new chance(s). Great Monday to all! :)

River Safari!
Sunday, November 30, 2014
Myanmar photos are going to take some time to tidy them up. So I'm going to take the opportunity to update some backlog :)
Finally managed to find some time to make my way down to River Safari a few weeks back! The company had corporate passes - which translates to free entry for up to 4 people, including the Amazon River Quest boat ride. Being the usual cheapo, there's no way I was going to give up that chance.
We lucked out as its the "off peak" period. It was still the exam period for...
Back!
Monday, November 24, 2014
I'm back from a 7D6N stay in Myanmar - with a lot of smelly/dusty clothes and a deep chest dry cough in tow. Bagan and Mandalay was much hotter and drier than I expected it to be - while I do miss the friendly nice local folks and the beautiful scenery, I most certainly do not miss the weather!
The BF is down with chicken pox and I'm down with a really bad cough - what can I say except that misery loves company. Hahahaha. Looks like my birthday (actual day) this year will be quiet affair. Will...
Mingalaba Myanmar!
Saturday, November 15, 2014
Counting down to my flight to Myanmar in less than 12 hours!
Can't wait to take plenty of photos and I will be back to update all the backlogs I have :)
Meanwhile, for those who still makes the effort to drop by - have a great week ahead!...
Friday

Decks of budget have been signed off (well except for 1 to 2 outstanding ones...) and the weekend is here!! Friday has not smell this good for a really long time.
Icing on the cake?
I've got a new blog header! :) It's like getting a new blog template and there is new found interest to update this virtual space more often.
Off to watch 'The Judge' with the boy and smell the first good (i.e free from reading all that budget memorandums and crunching financial statements) weekend...
Ermhmmm...Hello!
Wednesday, October 8, 2014
It's been so long since I last logged in that I almost can't remember my password. Almost. And obviously the first thing I did upon logging in was to attempt to change the blog template and now my header is gone. Booooo. Now I have to go locate back that header..
A lot has been going on at work with 2 new senior management folks joining us in early August - right smack in the season of the budget period. Madness will continue till mid October, which is about a week away!
I cannot wait for the...

Favourite secondary screen at the moment :)
Have a great Friday everyone! And yes I will be back to blog something more. Soon!&nbs...
LOTR - The Two Towers
Sunday, June 8, 2014
I'm a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings - although I admit that I tried (and failed terribly) at trying to read the great works of J.R.R Tolkien.
Went for the performance of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers orchestral performance by the Metropolitan Festival Orchestra, Vocal Associates Festival Chorus and Children's Choir yesterday.
It played the complete recordings of The Two Towers over 3 full hours against a big screen playing the movie with the same name. Magic. Pure...
Laryngitis
Tuesday, June 3, 2014
It's been a while since I've been so sick.
Over the last 8 days, I've visited the doctor 4 times and got 5 days of medical leave. The doctor finally gave up and gave me antibiotics after I developed laryngitis. Hahahaha. Love that exasperated look she gave me.
Now I sound like some out of tune machine that makes weird noises every time I try to speak. Nothing seems to work for me now so I will just have to wait it out.
Can't wait to fully recover! ...
Happy stuff

Weather in Singapore has been amazing these days - it has been a nice cool 24 degrees for most of the last 2 weeks. It most definitely has been putting me in a really gorgeous mood - stepping out to cool fresh air in the morning on my way to work. I quit taking the bus home in the last 2 weeks because the breezy evenings were just too hard to miss.
Guess what? It's gonna be 21 degrees this week.
I wish this weather could last all year long!
In other news, Chinese New Year is coming and I...
Oh hiatus
Sunday, December 8, 2013
Good lord. My last post was exactly a month ago.
I wish I could talk about exciting happenings that occurred off the world wide web which has made this blog space less enticing to log into. But....I can't because I have none. The past one month has been a whirlwind of gatherings, the mega office move and wrapping up a lot of loose ends to the budget for 2014. Oh and I finished the second half marathon this year :)
That's the brothers and I post-Standard Chartered Marathon 2013! Yes we swore never...
Lisa Eldridge
Saturday, November 9, 2013
Nothing says me time better on a Saturday than spending 2 hours at the salon getting some nice intensive protein hair treatment and a nice afternoon tea session with the girlfriend.
And of course, some quality time on Youtube.
I discovered Lisa Eldridge's channel through random surfing a few nights ago and I've completely fallen in love with her. She's like the Nigella Lawson of the make-up world! Absolutely love how detailed she is in explaining the make-up and god, she sounds amazing.
Not...
Yet another hiatus
Sunday, October 20, 2013
First up - a huge thank you to all those who still bothered to pop by for an update! I've been so busy at work that switching on my computer while at home is really the last thing I want to do.
So that pretty much explains the hiatus.
September flew by so quickly, more so for the first half of October! What do you mean it's already 20th of October? Last few weekends were spent trying to stay away from work emails (failed miserably) and fitting meetings with friends in-between. The end...
Mega hiatus
Tuesday, September 17, 2013
Yes everyone I'm still very much alive. I apologize for the lack of updates - work is really really hectic. I never thought covering my own duties and coaching 2 others can be so so taxing.
16 days since the last post, after the wedding, The Piano Guys' performance, another wedding, an amazing meal at Tim Ho Wan, Jiahui's birthday, a few more gatherings that I have fuzzy memories about... and clearly I have loads of photo backlog that I have yet to update on! GAH.
Woe is the budget season for...
Random musings on relationships
Sunday, September 1, 2013
It's midnight and I have a whole load of work to clear. This is such a workend - you like know working weekend. Hahahaha.
But nothing stops me from attending Hidayah's solemnization this evening at the mosque. First time in a mosque, first time hearing the prayers (I love how they make it so melodious) and definitely my first Muslim solemnization ceremony! I promise I will post more photos after the wedding ceremony tomorrow (we will all be in kebaya)!
I know I always end up NOT posting, but I...
Hiatus
Sunday, August 25, 2013
A friend reminded me yesterday I still have a blog. Why yes! This is what happens to you when you have a long weekend, a crazy work week and another insane 7 days of corporate travel - you lose track.
Came home on a red eye flight (I'm never doing this again) and landed in Singapore at some ungodly hour in the morning. Managed to unpack and crawled into bed at around 7am. Woke up a few hours to catch an amazing birthday lunch with the band mates at Mad for Garlic and caught the Night Festival...
Life and other things

Caught the Phantom of the Opera yesterday night with the sister and another friend in tow (he's already watched it 5 times in various parts of the world! Envious much). We had the centre stall seat and the view is amazingggggg.
Phantom sounds really nasal last night! Hahaha maybe he has the flu. Claire Lyon as Christine was still impressive though! The cast is moving to Shanghai in December - well I pray my work will allow me to jet there by end of the year and maybe I will catch it again. Watching...
