Up up and away.......

Today, petrol companies raised the petrol price by 6 - 9 cents per litre. But luckily I got wind of it and pumped full tank yesterday. At least can save a bit. Heh heh. But I travelled quite a bit yesterday to Ikea to redeem my Ikea friends points cos they going to expire by end of August. I managed to redeem 3 items. They are a rug, a vase and a cushion. Ok lah, not too bad. So now waiting for my new Ikea card so I can start to spend more money!

Going digital

Finally swopped to a digital top boxset for my Starhub Cable TV. The pictures looks clear! But only get to see local channels for the time being as they need 24 hours to activate my accounts. Hmm.... I wonder why they need such a long time! Any way, besides the clarity, digital one is better cos can get access to the program info with a touch of a button. Very useful and easy! But in order to waive the rental charges, I subscribed another group! My monthly bill going up by another $12.60! Sigh.... Money no enough!!!

Volcano exploded!

Today early in the morning at around 9.45am, my company director walked into my lab and asked how come me and my supervisor are in the lab. At first I was puzzled and then I knew what he meant. He was asking how come we did not attend the weekly presentation. He insisted it is important to attend the presentation. Seriously, I intend to attend but was late for work. Haha!! Any way, next friday cannot escape liao.

Then, the students in my lab dunno what happen made my supervior very angry and all kenna scolded. Lucky me not involved and I hide in another room to do my own work. Heh heh. This type of thing better not involved.

After lunch, me and my supervisor have to do a project presentation for my group manager. Although the demo result is quite rotten, but overall I think should be quite ok. Heh heh. What an eventful day!

Sinus....

I think my sinus getting worst. Feel like removing my nose!! It all happened when I went to my brother's house on last Sunday. It is so dusty and my nose is so sensitive. Feel so terrible that day. Now slightly better but nose still like very itchy!

Also very angry that day. Wanted to change to a Starhub digital box but went to 2 places and all out of stock!! Tough luck! Guess I have to try my luck again on this coming weekend.

OT OT

I have been doing OT for the past 2 days. Very tired! Always worked until 9+pm. Well, what to do? Too many work to clear. Lately, I feel very tired during the day. Dunno why. Always stone there and eyes half close. Very inefficient!!! Only until 4+pm, then I become more energetic. Wonder if this is due to my late nights for the past 1 week. Have to sleep early or else work output is low!! I think tomorrow I still have to OT. Left a bit more to go.

Diet

After coming back from Bangkok, I feel I have gained a lot of "meat". Although my weight did not increase, I just feel I am more meaty. So I have been hitting the gym room and increased the amount of exercising time. Last time I only gym on Saturaday and play tennis on Sunday. This is obviously not enough judging on how much things I eat per week!!

Hence, I swore to control on my eating habit. Now no more supper (unless no choice) for me and I have thrown in a jogging session on every Wednesday. Every day I will do some more excerise before I hit the shower. I plan to increase my jogging session to 2 - 3 times per week. Take it as training for my IPPT.

So far I think I am doing it quite well. Like today, I was out the whole day after sending my sister-in-law off to the airport. She is flying off to Penang for work. But I did not eat much the whole day. I refrain myself from eating french fries even though I passed by Mcdonalds and Burger King. Even as I am typing this now, I also hold myself to the computer and prevent from going into the kitchen. Ok, you all shall wait for my good news. Haha!

Very shack~~

Finally back from my 4 days vacation! Time flies when you are having fun, isn't it? I was in Bangkok with my family over the long weekend till Tuesday. Walked a lot! Shopped a lot! Not to mentioned spent a lot! Bought 4 pairs of sandals and shoes. Some pants and t-shirts. Nice and cheap. The weather is quite ok. Just like Singapore now: not too hot. I stayed at Siam City Hotel. A very nice and posh hotel. I think I will go back to this hotel again if I visit Bangkok. Come to think of it, I am planning to go again at the end of this year. Haha! Do some more shopping and I heard the weather in December is quite cooling. It can goes down to less than 20 degree celcius at night! My return flight home was delayed for more than an hour and I reached home at 1 am this morning! So tired and imagine I have to work today!

Any way, my supervior is flying off to China soon. He took urgent leave as his father is admitted to hospital but I heard he is ok. But my supervior wants to go back and take a look any way. I hereby wish that his father will get well real soon!

Sick!!

Today I had a terrible day. I was sick the whole day. Runny and stuffy nose. Sneeze a lot and a bit of a headache. I could not work at all. Whole day I just stone there and nursing my nose. Hope that I can get well soon because me leaving for vacation starting from tomorrow and will be away for 4 days. I took a one day leave on the 8th August and will be celebrating Singapore National Day in some foreign country.

By the way, remember my friend whose baby has passed away? His wife has induced labour this morning. I heard she is fine. Hope that they can pick up themselves and have a healthy baby soon!

A depressing day

Today, my friend broke a terrible news to me! His baby has just passed away in his wife's womb! Although I am prepared for the worst as doctor had told him chances of the baby surviving is slim, I am caught by surprise. The baby is due for delivery in 2 months time. It is rather depressing and I hereby hope that he and his wife will be strong.
