finally got this video up.. decide to upload to my almost-forgotten trusty photobucket instead.. =D wonder if i shd upload all e rest of e videos as well..
anyway went to Wonder Girls music showcase last last fri @ MBS, all thanks to ning.. cos din even know tt they are coming to spore.. lolz.. it is free standing so both of us were like 'oh no, our poor legs' end up e performance is shorter than we thought.. & too little performance time by the wonder girls!! granted, its not supposed to be a concert but kinda expected more! then e sound quality is not too good/inconsistent as well hope next time e organisers can learn from e hiccups..
& ning was mentioning tt their dance steps are quite similar to those tt we saw in pubs so she wants me to learn them.. *the* like i got any talent in dancing.. & next time dun sabo me to dancing again hor.. if realli wanna dance, it will be a grp dance =D
thanks to ying who booked a ultra good table at Mac!! tts why watch till e end..
then 5 min before e match, ying was asking me wat's my prediction.. duno why i din say who will win (perhaps cos we both support netherland ba?) & guess e match score instead i said 2-1 then she said 3-0
then in e end, e veri 莫名其妙 penalty kick makes my prediction hitting e bull's eye! but i din bet!!
however, even if i bet, i will onli bet win, lose or draw.. cos probability higher.. which is wat i did during e last world cup but end up i still lose quite a bit such tt i dun bet on soccer afterward liao..
now i feels so tempted to bet on tml's Spain vs Portugal match.. but then hor, scared when i bet, it become not zun liao.. which happens not once before.. & i so wanna watch it!! =(
hmm let's see if my 6th sense is still as accurate.. i guess tml match score is 3-1 (Spain - 3, Portugal - 1)
first its germany vs england.. now i realise all e European countries tt make it to e round of 16 are facing each other!! jus their bad luck?? & not optimistic tt european countries can make it into e final.. e opponents tt stand in their way are unfortunately Brazil and Argentina.. my hope of a showdown btw south america & europe in e finals r fast vanishing..
then finally get to sing KTV in a long while!! though things were not off to a good start initially, all in all, hav a great day with frens! =) have fun + good food! ;p
will also like to take this chance to thank all e frens who are by my side during this time period.. u know who you all are.. =) all e words/actions & even jus simply being present for me makes me feel so touched and fortunate.. heartfelt appreciation ^^ 因爲我自認我還蠻粗枝大葉, 若儅別人的朋友, 我不會是一個理想/體貼的朋友 塞翁失馬, 焉知非福 讓我領悟到,有時失去反而能讓人了解自己所擁有的 其實我不是真的一無所有
& while uploading photos to FB, i realise my face shape somewat changed over a course of 4 mths!! alr noticed a vast difference btw me now and 3 yrs ago when lookin thro my japan trip & graduation photos a while back.. but over jus 4 mths?? is there something realli wrong with me??
finally one grumble: how come e upload speed in FB is so damn slow??!!
later got portugal vs brazil! ^^ then round of 16 looking forward to germany vs england.. =) although its kinda cruel tt both teams nid to meet so early into the competition..
first France is out.. then now its Italy's turn to go home.. really makes me go 'HUH'??!! they are the finalists of last world cup leh!! does european countries realli dun do well when they travel out of their continent?? or they haven wake up to reality that other countries are catching up in terms of skills until they are now 逆水行舟, 不進則退??
anyway was at outram earlier on.. & since im there and knowing tt e blood bank is in nid of blood donation, decide to pop by cos i always wanted to donate blood since a few yrs back but din get to do so due to various factors.. anyway i knw i veri random, but tts how im behaving recently.. also dunno if its a good sign..
then when e medical examiner ask me "do u know ur weight or wld u like to measure it?", i of course stand on e weighing scale & tts when i got a shock.. 44.4! to think tt im 45.6 2 wks back!! which im alr quite alarmed cos my weight has been hovering at 47kg since Aug last yr & also of all things, giv me 3 '4's.. zzzz so now my BMI is onli 18.1 =.=''
e medical examiner is kind enough to giv me a food redemption voucher though i cos of my weight cant donate.. she was saying "gurl, u go eat more and fatten up urself" how nice of her!
high time tt i shall be lazy and not walk so much.. & can eat all kinds of food without worry.. in fact, i went to buy KOI milk tea afterward.. lolz..
oh ya, found one more ultra nice flavour from KOI which is highly recommended: milk green tea!! & oolong milk tea is all along my top fave then passion ai yu and hazelnut milk tea + grass jelly also good choice.. now i feel like trying out plum green tea and coconut milk tea.. =P
first time hear tt orchard can flood one.. & e flood is realli jialat, till knee cap!! lucky i went orchard last night & not tonight.. =P but heard tt not jus orchard rd affected, the usual susceptible areas like Bt Timah also kena.. later i going bt timah leh.. hope things will be fine by then..
but why does it rain every morning?? when im jus about to wake up, e weather is jus so conducive for me to go back to sleep.. haiz.. then it jus wont rain at night though nw its not tt hot until i must on the fan la..
then dunno if its e erratic weather fault or wat, e first time in mani months tt i hav a bad outbreak on my forehead.. sianz..
become Koi milk tea order taker liao.. next time shdnt try to be so hao xin.. carrying 7 cups (3 big, 4 small) cups of bubble tea in one plastic bag from chinatown to raffles place is no joke.. but then hor, if im jus buying my own share, not worth e queuing time and waiting time leh.. nearly fainted when i saw e queue.. how come the more outlets it open, e longer e queue?? zzzz....
then for f1, realli excited tt Hamilton is first again! yay!! ^^ he finally got his form back and i realli hope tt he can retain his current lead.. jensen button n alonso also doing not bad.. but whatever happens to massa? not physically tip-top yet or haven find his style in e new car?? nw i contemplating whether i shall get tix for spore f1 tis yr..
& i also feel like going to Suju's upcoming concert! =D
last yr this time round is spend on clothes, accessories & spa packages..
this yr is spend on IT gadgets (laptop & speakers) and shoes!
okay la, laptop is i nid cos office pc tend to hang and at home got a sis fighting to use pc with me.. but dunno why i itchy legs go wander to Creative booth during e PC show and end up buying a set of speakers.. yet another case of accompanying fren to shop & end up with my own loots. dots... on my wanted list la but din intend to get it so soon.. however im now loving e sound quality.. learning how to appreciate the finer things in life.. lolz.. but prob is its realli loud.. next time nid to close door so as not to disturb my family liao..
then lemming for 3 more pair of shoes n im pretty much done with e shoppin liao.. enuff damage done to my wallet.. nid to earn much more back.. haha
saw quite alot of ppl wearing a black top and jeans today.. & im also one of them.. lolz.. kinda feeling lazy so wearing this way so din realise great minds think alike for many others.. thought today is fri ppl going out later so may tend to dress up??
anyway today is the start of e world cup!!! teams tt i support?? spain & brazil! argentina n england also okay.. =P let's hope this yr world cup wont end up like last world cup where all e semi finalists are european teams.. i prefer south america vs europe.. haha
first a 33% pay rise, then followed by another 66% pay rise.. first time heard of such a good deal leh.. lolz.. i guess this is in response to the Foxconn dun-seem-to-be-ending sucide cases ba..
but how far will e pay increment helps to increase the happiness of the workers??
beyond a certain point, monetary rewards is not going to be e solution le as humans hav different types of needs which quite a num of them cant be fulfilled jus by having more money..
& due to my uni major, i cant help but thinking will this leads to exportation of inflation to e rest of e world??
china gains its reputation as the world's factory due to its cheap labour cost.. but with one major co in shenzhen upping e pay, e other co will be pressuried to follow suit in order to retain their respective talents.. this will inevitably increase the cost of production..
will china nw then lose e edge of cheap labour?? guess it depends on e % of labour cost to total production cost n how e co can increase e workers' productivity ba.. maybe it can also 'force' china to move up the value chain of manufacturing?? then does it implies more competition faced by other asia pac countries eg msia, spore??
Don't let the past hold you back, you are missing on the good stuff.. Life is too short to be little How can you expect others to love you when you don't love yourself??
injured my toes when climbing a overhead bridge today n kena scolded by my mum n sis for being so careless.. =(
& seems like e wound is realli veri bad..

need an low heel open toe shoe although it is an open toe pair tt causes my injury.. zzz...
