Has something similar to this occured to you before? ::: ::: ::: ...... I had to walk back to my office with the right half of my body soaked wet! Thank God I was wearing dark brown! FREAK!
Well, so much for my luck earlier on this evening... I GOT SPLASHED!
You see, I was working late at the office today so headed out to grab some dinner. It's been pouring the entire evening. It just makes u wonder if the Gods up there are bitch fighting or something. Maybe zapping each other with their powers! *Neat*
Back to the unfortunate incident... so naturally the roads were pretty flooded in the area I was working at. Was walking along the pavement back to the office after grabbing dinner in one hand and hanging on to my umbrella in the other. Suddenly, this stupid idiot CR-V comes happily zooming down the road, drives thru the huge ass puddle or should I say POOL of water ..... and u know what happens next....
Saturday was like the attack of the killer calories day! I think I ate ate least 2 day's worth of food, all within the timeframe of 9 hours! Yikes! Had to force myself to swim and run it off today. Clockwise from the top: Squid in tomato sauce, deep fried squid, their menu, red milk tea with perals, menu, salt and pepper chicken and BEEF NOODLES! The Coffee Connoisseur Uni maties - Min, Sharom, Isaac and Me! So much for food! Made myself swim 40 laps of the pool this afternoon just to make myself feel better! Hah!
But yea, aside from counting calories, I had sucha good weekend just hanging out and shopping with my sis and catching up with good ol' friends!
Went for a swim in the late morning with my sis. I swim pretty regularly, but I haven't been to the pool with my sis for close to a year! So u can imagine, after some hard work at the pool, we were starving by the end of our 90min swim session. We were craving for Jap food, so headed to Ajitei @ Bugis to fill our tummies. The both of us really like the place alot, one of our favourite mid-range priced jap restaurants. It's a good place to go if u just wanna have like a tea-time/light snack, coz they serve small portions of a decent variety of jap dishes. Our favourites have to be the Tonpei Yaki (cabbage& egg omelet), soft shell crab and fried curry squid. 
Clockwise from the top: Tonpei Yaki, Ajitei's Logo (they are a branch of the Ajisen Ramen Restaurants, Fried curried squid, soft shell crab, lotus chips and Nagoya style chicken.

Shopping @ Bugis with my sis was awesome....not to mention that we spent quite a bit, guess some retail therapy does help espcially when the past few weeks haven't been that great. Got myself some pretty accessories - a necklace and a ring. Also got 2 dresses for a good deal... yes dresses, u heard me right indeed. Hello feminine me! Went shopping at Muji as well and got myself this funky pen that I'm so gonna use as my 'work' pen. Was also a good time to walk some calories off considering that I was due to meet my other grp of friends for dinner in less that 3hrs.
Next sinful stop to pack the calories was Lai Lai Family Restaurant where I had dinner with Min, Zac and Sharom. It's a small Taiwanese restuarant along Liang Seah Street just opposite Bugis Junction. They're pretty popular for their Taiwan style beef noodles.... I bet those army guys who have been to Taiwan know exactly what I'm refering to. It's pretty yummy especially when it goes along with the chilli! *Shiok* The 4 of us ordered their 'Value-Set for 4 paxs' which entitled us to a set meal each - a side dish, drink and a main dish of your choice. Kinda added up to about $11 each which is really worth it if I might add (decent portion!). But yeah, all of us had the house speacial - standard taiwan beef noodles. The pics below will elaborate on the side dishes we had...easier than me describing!

That was not the end! The guys wanted to go somewhere to chill out so Min suggested TCC - The Coffee Connoisseur @ Bugis. I was so stuffed by then. Had myself a nice hot cuppa Cafe Latte. The rest went with the cold coffee drinks. Sharom who was eyeing their lovely desserts gave into temptation and got himself a nice sinful platter of their 'Dark Devotion'. The name itself gives it away! Of coz being the good friends we are, whipped out our forks and helped attack the helpless dessert.

Having just read Chels' blog has kinda promted me to realise that I haven't touched my blog for a really long long time. Sigh, kinda feel that so many of my friends are leaving the country, either to study, work or migrate! Most of my closer uni friends have all gone back to Aust after the summer break and have already started their semester, so it won't be at least another year till I get to meet up with them. Others have gone on with post-grad studies which makes me come to think of what I really wanna do next...Masters degree??? I think I've become a pretty boring person, haven't been going out much as I used to. So need to get back my life! So friends, do call me out ya. Gosh I sound so pathetic!
But yes, the past 2 months at work has been pretty hectic and stressful. Learning alot but it can get pretty crazy at times. Anyway, I shall not bring work into the topic of my post... it's the long weekend afterall! Thank God!
I've finally got down to painting my room a pretty shade of plumish purple. Contrasted it along with another lighter lilacish colour. I love it! Proud of the final outcome considering I did it by myself. Actually choose the lilac a shade too light coz it looked more like white when I first painted the wall... in the end decided to do some colour chemistry of my own. I'm still wanting to do a mural of this black/white fairy-like abstract portrait on the wall above my bed. Took quite a bit of time to select the perfect picture... now is just finding the time to do it. Might post a pic when I finally get down to it. Hah!
Here's the room before...stripped bare! 
This was where colour chemistry had to come in coz the whitish purple didn't turn out the way it was supposed to be.... took me some time to figure out mixing to achieve the right shade!
Ok I know I look spastic with the shower cap. But hey, it's like the best way to prevent your hair from getting splashes of paint especially when painting the ceiling! 
Fooling around while painting...
The room after.... 
Anyway, I'm getting so freaking fair from being stuck in the office it's really quite scary! Especially for people who have always known me to be a little tan, that's the first thing they realise about me nowadays when they see me! I hate being fair, and since I have been down with this prolonged irritating cough for the past 3 weeks, haven't got as much sun and exercise as I would have liked to. Nvm, tomorrows gonna be the start of my mission to get back my tan!Swimming!
