Finally I'm going to cook....

After reading newspaper a few days ago about the chollera that was caused from eating hawker food in Bedok Area, I decided I want to avoid eating @ hawker. But now can not "tahan" (read:stand) anymore, so I decided to cook.
Finally my cooking soul come back. I wanna try Ayam Cola from Ika and Astri Blog, after reading Yuliana also tried this one *sigh* I always hear different version of Ayam Cola, but let me try our blogger recipe first.
But I don't feel quite satisfied with my cooking as I asked Nuniek to fry the chicken tomorrow morning first (you know lah...who not lazy to fry, huh?). Well I'm a perfectionist though, my best friend should know me best.

KFC

Today lunch menu was KFC, it was caused by yesterday inside the cinema, the girl who sat next to me was eating KFC during the movie (doohh jadi inget Agnes ama gue menyelundupkan chinese food ke George St cinema, dan pas kita buka, semua orang pada melotot ke kita *blush*).
KFC is having a new promotion, called Tom Yum Chicken, so out of curiousity, I wanna try it out, but nothing spectacular, not even taste Tom Yum *grinned* But now my stomach feel quite hot *gulp*
My head is quite pain *cekot cekot*, anybody wanna lend me your head? *nyengir*
I'm doing my work, accomponied by this song Dibalas Dengan Dusta by Audi, that I got it from my friend.
During the first few time, I don't really like it, as it's ummm quite how to say it in English,..."mendayu2" But when I tried to enjoy the lyric, then I find out it's quite interesting. The title means "Paid by Lies" and it's about somebody is always hurt by the same mistake over and over again, while she had given him full of love, but yet she doesn't regret, as she is the one that choose the guy....
Well, quite cheesy, huh? Hmmm but I always feel this is the fact that often happened in our daily life, well, I dunno about yours though....but I see quite some happenings around me....
I guess, it because love is blind?

Hmm...Sunday....

Today is the last day for Robby in Singapore, I woke up quite late, and didn't go to church, as we wanted to bring Robby lunch before his flight, and he had to have 3.45 pm flight.
So we picked him up from the hotel around 12 past, then we drove to East Coast Seafood Centre as per his request to have another crabs. But out of expectation, everything wwas closed for lunch *surprised* only Gold Coast restaurant opens for lunch *sigh* We have no choice but having lunch at Gold Coast, the food is not comparable with Jumbo or Red House of course, but anyway, better than nothing though.
After lunch we went to the airport, and what a surprise me and CC received another beatiful gift from Him, which made me very touch *sobs* After he left, I feel something missing from my heart, well...it's such a beautiful weeks that I had so far in here, with Robby presence here in Singapore....*hiks...srottttt*
Anyway remembering we still had 1 left over movie ticket from last time, and it will be expired on 19, so we decided to go for a show at Lido. We intended to see the New Police Story by Jackie Chan. Unfortunately it was almost full house, then the next things that came to my mind is Yesterday Once More, the movie by Andy Lau and Sammy Cheng. But after I got the ticket, suddenly I regretted why I didn't choose Wimbledon instead *sigh*, coz Yesterday Once More is still on Sneak Preview, so still have plenty of time to watch it.
Well, it's not too bad at all lah, quite refreshing, besides Sammy Cheng also so cute and adorable in that movie (anyway it's my first Sammy Cheng movie *blush*). But the finale a bit bland (baca:ngegantung).

Patch Test

The last 2 times I coloured my hair, I got irritation on my skin, so I decided to go to National Skin Centre to get it checked. The dostor said I had to do patch test, that supposed to be done on Tue, and I delayed untill thursday *blush*
So now, I have this tiny2 little plates, total 47 pieces contained of different chemical stuck to my back, due to be opened today by myself. The nurse told me if it itch I have to asked somebody to "sayang2" (read:pat2) my back. Unfortunately, it never itch during day, only in the middle of the nite, then itchy (mo nyuruh sape coba? bangunin si nunik masa?)
Then I'll see the doctor on Monday to see the result of which chemical I'm allergic to. Let's see
Last nite I went to Karaoke @Kbox, as Robby, my friend from oz, liek to sing very much, and we used to go karaoke together back in Sydney. I didn't realized that we'd been there for 3 hours (we book all you can sing session plus buffet dinner, but we only ate once, what a waste) till I ran out of voice. It was really crazy, I didn't care to lower or higher the note, I just sang and adjust my voice, which of course made my throat suffer so much. And I found out that probably it's true, the older you get, your voice will become lower, as I'm struggling to sing Tata Young, I Believe *sigh* Aging...*haizzzz*
Then now I'm furious with my blog template, I just change a few weeks, then now you can see the star on the top goes missing *arrrghhhh* Wait till I have time to change lay out again *cemberut*
Till then Happy week end everyone....

Taking MRT

After so long been absent from taking MRT, yesterday I did it *yay* (norak banget ndak sih? *blush*)
I went from Plaza Singapura to Tanjong Pagar. Started with I didn't bring my Ezlink card *sigh* coz I lent it to my Roby who's here for this week. Then I opened my wallet only found $50 note *sigh again*
For you who stay in Singapore, must know very well how "teruk" (read:troublesome, Singlish) is the position of the entrance gate, the station control and the ticket machine. So I saw there is an UOB atm machine there, I withdrew $10 then went to the ticket machine next to it, and found out that the machine does not accept $10 notes, then I had to walk all the way to station control and changed my money to smaller amount, then bought ticket, and proceed all the way to North South Line MRT *sigh*
On the escalator down, I met 2 girls that are inconsiderate enough to block my way, so I missed the train *gondok* and I had to wait for another 7 mins. I heard the alarm sounded, and just curious why it was so. Then I took a seat then sudddenly I felt the construction work underneath the station, and made me stunned, reminded me of Nicoll Highway. So I assume the alarm sound because of this construction work lah...
Then not long after that 1 auntie approach my sit, then said," The train had just left ah?"
"Ya loh..,"I answered.
Auntie,"Why the alarm keep on ringing ah?"
I said,"Probably because of the sontruction underneath."
Auntie,"Wah so scary leh..."
I answered,"I feel the same way to, and the train still long some more.."
Auntie,"Anyway it's fate lah.."
So I smiled smiled loh....
Finally the train came, I feel "shiok" (read=comfortable, Singlish) inside the train, I don't know why, I always have this feeling everytime I take MRT in Singapore, some kinda feeling touristy or something which I can't explain, seeing the students with the uniform reading The New Paper and plug the walkman in their ears....
I had to change train at Raffles Place interchange, when my MRT door opened, then the train on the other side left me out just like that *sebel*
I was just wondering why they can't make both the train arriving and leaving at the same time, so it's easier for people to change train, just like Bangkok BTS *think very hard*
Luckily I didn't need to wait so long to get the next train arriving. When eraching Tanjong Pagar I still had to figure out which exit should I take to go to Peck Seah St, lucky, the sign is very straight forward *phew*

The Story Continue

On Friday, Takashimaya having a redemption program, if you spent $500 in 5 combine receipt of the day or if you're a member you only need to spend $400 instead, then you can redeem this collectible Rose Chan.
Just happened that we had to donate door prize for 1 of our clients, so we went to buy Takashimaya voucher, then I realised that the customer service had already prepared lots of stacks of invoices for people buying the gift voucher. So now I know the trick, usually for this type of redemption, people will buy gift voucher, while they don't need to spend the money for unnecessary thing straight away, on the other hand, they could get this collectibles.
Before hand I used to think, may be just buy gucci or LV or Tiffany or something that is very expensive then it would be settled, but yet have another brilliant way to get there *amazed*
The redemption went quite fast I guessed as I was there about lunch time, and more than half (from 1000 available) had been redeemed.
On Sunday, I didn't go to church as I had a throbbing headache, but yet I had to have lunch with my friend, and continued with picking one of my friend arriving from Sydney on the way back to Malang. The flight arrived 30 minutes earlier than scheduled, so i was panicked as I arrived there about 10 minutes late from the original scheduled *sigh*
But finally I still found him browsing at DFS inside *phew* I was quite histerical seeing him, as he's my shopping buddy, karaoke buddy, cafe buddy, loittering buddy, photography buddy when I was in Sydney. Then I was more histerical when I saw his mineral water bottle, Mount Franklin, it made my heart throbbed (so dramatic huh?)
He gave me Cosmo magazines. wow Cosmo, a very rare goods that you could find here in Singapore. Even though the censorship law has already been loosened, but yet till now it's still a hard thing to get. So far I only found Cosmo UK Edition or Indian Edition, but yet nothing better compared with Australian edition though...
So that day we ended the nite by having dinner at East Coast Seafood Centre, Jumbo of course...
That nite when I arrived at home, I was reading the newspaper (basi banget ndak sih? dah malem baru baca koran *blush*) suddenly I felt my nose very funny, then I touched with my finger, oalah...blood mannn....blood....I became panicked of course, grabbed tissue, plugged to my nose, then asked CC to get for a wet tissue (by water of course) to be plugged to my nose...wow....I've never been like this when I was a kid, but after grow up so long then I got this type of thing *sigh*

Arrghh Monday

Due to my busy schedule, today posting is about my last week end activity *sok formal*

Friday, finally I dued to see the show that has been talk of the town for these pas few weeks, Mamma Mia @ Esplanade. The story line is based in small island in Greece, where a young lady is preparing for her marriage. As she was raised up by a single mother, so she is longing to see her real father on her wedding day. From her mother's diary, she found out that there are 3 candidates, so she invited those 3 men whose one of them might be her daddy.
The show is fantastic, and at the end of the show, the cast sing some of the ABBA hits song, and some of the audiences starting to stand up, clapped and dance....wow... it's really a fantastic performance.
Eventhough I regretted that I bought the circle 3 seats, and I just realized that it's not so comfortable, and felt a bit afraid of the height *kampung bener yak gue*
2 rows in front of my seats was totally empty, but quite surprising no body tried to move their seats *shocked* Remembering this is Singapore man....but anyway I was quite annoyed by the whole group that seated at the back of me, as they kept on talking at the beginning of the show, until the whole audience shhhhh them...aiyoh.....

Saturday, it was a very hectic day actually, started with working in the morning, and had to go to Biotherm X'mas party (which finally I skipped). Got scrapbooking class at 2.30pm (I tought it was 3 pm class, and I was having my lunch when they called me asking me where were me), then I rushed down to that class. It was a very exciting class, this time we learn how to do beads and photomat. Talking about beading...wow...it took a lots of effort and patience to do it, until one of my classmate said,"I have to put somebody photo that i love most in this paper.." Then I replied," As I love my self the most, so I would put my own photo in this paper..." *grinned* The class supposed to finished at 5.30, lots of them hadn't finished their work and just "ta pao" all the beads to do at home, while me and the other friend still stucked there until it finished....phew...what a determined people we are *proud*
Actually as I mentioned in my posting a few days ago, I have to attend the Tiger beer B'day Bash concert, after the class i felt very tired and decided not to go *sobs* So I have to find a nother crazy event to do, before I turn old....*sigh*
to be continued...

Real life drama

Last Tuesday I was at 1 of the well known beauty centre to do treatment, then in the middle of treatment suddenly 1 of the counter staff went into my room, then said," Hey flona, I would like to see your progress after the treatment so far, as you're due to treatment check also. So can you meet me after the treatment later?"
So I said,"Yes, I will..."
I was wondering, hmm it was quite funny because my record is not under this girl, but with another one, which is my checked also had to be done by the usual one...
After the treatment, I went to see this girl (Ms.J). Ms.J said," How's the treatment so far?"
I answered,"So far so good lah...okay. "
By The way where is Ms.W(the one that in charge of my program)?", I asked again
Ms.J,"Oh, she's on leave today."
Then she tried to offer me some more other treatment program, which I denied by saying that I needed to discuss with my parents first. but then she said,"If you could confirm now, I can arrange for the program to start next week."
I still insisted I had to discussed with my family...then she gave up...
Wow...what a real life drama is happening here, how could she try to back stabbed her own coleague by trying to persuade me to sign up something when Ms. W not around, so that she could earn the comission, that actually by right should be earned by ms. W...
Moral of the story are:
1. welcome to the real work life in Singapore mate!
2. Friends, don't try this @work, but if you didn't do this, then you'll "kena" this!

Showering Max

This morning during breakfast after I took a bath, suddenly CC said," You go later lah...let me go first..."
Luckily I hadn't changed my clothing yet. So I decided to bath Max...then I regret. Now I smell Max' shampoo....*blush* Don't know whether it could be covered with perfurmed or not *anxious*.
Max after shower photo will be uploaded soon...
Anyway..as I said for those blogger who stays in Singapore we would like to invite you for "Kopi Darat", as those who stays in Europe can meet each ohter, why can't we?
The time and place that I've thought of is:
* Saturday 17 Oct '04, dinner at Marche ---> easier to pay the bill
* Sunday 18 Oct '04 picnic at Botanical Garden ---> pot luck
You have to choose either one, but so far, Jo can't make it, so I make another choices:
*Saturday 22 Oct'04 or Sunday 23 Oct '04, place, the same as above...
Feel free to contact me at my email flona@yahoo.com lah ya.....

Oh no it's Monday

I would like to say thanks a zillion for those whose been concerned about my hand...It's okay now...Thanks a lot for your care....
Last week was a very busy week for me, and it will be increasing day by day up to Chinese New Year *arrrrrgggghhhhhhhhhhh*. I read from the newspaper we can redeem the tiger birthday bash party with 300 hereen points started on Friday 10 am @ hereen. I've never been to a concert like this before, I mean pop or rock concert lah...coz I don't like pay money for crazy crowds, but yet now I can get it for 300 hereen points which means I don't need to come out any money at all....but i was busy the whole day...
So on Saturday afternoon I was around Orchard, then I wanted to try my luck, not really put high hope on it, coz you know...thi kinda things in S'pore sure snapped out within minutes one lah...but to my surprise they still have the ticket *yayyyy*
But my points not enough *sobs* so I browsed HMV, and ate my dinner @ Marche, and finally got the ticket *yippeeee*
Frankly speaking I don't really looking forward to it untill now, even when I got my points enough, @ the customer service counter I still asked CC," are you sure we're going to redeem for this ticket?"
Well....this the things that I thought may be I should do before I'm getting old lah...even though I feel I'm old enough to be in the crowds *blush*
Anyway there will be Michael (still) learn(ing how) to rock, then Palmy, then some of Chinese singers, surely lotsa youngster (ah beng and ah lian), especially this ticket not for sale I believe. You have to redeeem with certain numbers of tiger beer's bottle caps...so let's see lah yah....
My first pop rock concert......

Cultural Erosion

This evening I did a bit of self assessment, then suddenly I realised how impolite I am now. Today we had guests from Malaysia, and he is much more older than me, CC calls him by his name, and usually I've never referred to his name when I was talking to him. But yet today as we brought them around, so I had to comment on the place that we were passing thru, and I also called him by name.....*blush*
Then now I feel very uneasy remembering about that tragedy...well...may be next time I will call him with Mr followed by his name lah..probably he will feel weird....
Remember my story last week about that cute doctor as well? Nah...that one also I didn't call him by doctor, but called his name instead, oh no...what kind of human I am? *sigh*

View from Menara Kuala Lumpur

Mine is Blue

HASH(0x88adc8c)
You're the color blue. You have the three c's in
life--you're cool, caring and confident.
Trustworthy and honest, people are naturally
attracted to you. You're unusually optimistic,
but that makes life all the better. You're an
imaginative person who loves sleeping and
dreaming. Hard-working and determined, you
excell in school. You're everybody's favorite,
and this is because you have this undefined
richness in your personality and attitude.
Mild-tempered and stable. Not to mention very
intelligent. Along with the fact that you're
conservative, you're worried about the
environment. So basically, you're a generous,
dependable and devoted--just the kind of person
everybody needs. Wouldn't it be great if
everybody in the world were like you?

What color are you? (Amazingly detailed & accurate--with pics!) brought to you by

What a day

Around mid day today, the rain started to fall, then I tried to open up my umbrella, but it couldn't be opened. I gave up, used my half open umbrella, when suddenly I realised my finger covered with a lot of blood, and the blood still bursting out from my finger.
I didn't feel pain at all during that time, then I ran to the car, to get a bottle of water to wash my hand, then quickly dried my hand with tissue. Then when I turn my head, I saw a splash of blood on the side of the door *sigh* I got stunned and terrified with the amount of blood that bursting through my finger....
Luckily not far away from that place there is a gas station, so we quickly drove away and bought the band aid, and forgot to buy Betadine though...
After I put the band aid, I started to feel pain on my finger, then CC said to me to just wait and see whether the blood would stop or not, before we proceed to the hospital...Luckily the blood stop *sigh*
We supposed to have business lunch, but yet the other party forgotten about the appointment and also been busy for these 2 days, so lunch delayed until next week.
After work, we went to Takashimaya S.C. the traffic was quite bad...but yet when we arrived, the Takashimaya itself closed from this evening and tomorrow thourgh out the whole day, and will be back for business on Friday...But all the remaining shop still open for business.
So it felt rather weird, like Chinese New Year period, quiet and weird...not in the sense of quiet no people, but there still quite a number of people, but yet like something missing...
Anyway my purpose is not going to Takashimaya, as we decided to handmade our company Christmas card for this year, how artistic we are, huh?
Hopefully I can manage to finish this project......

SP2 again

My life is still revolving around Windows SP2 issues...as a hectic days that I have to face, then too many files to be backed up, so I have to bear my self to deal with the stupidity of my PC which I found very annoying *sigh*
I couldn't afford to re-install my PC as well, time is so precious to me these days....
Moral of the story Bill Gate is very aiyoh....

Still about Computer, these days I feels tired easily, especially when I work in front of computer,
I think partly also because my computer is not placed properly, so I have to twist my body and head.
Anyway I've ever read from the article, which suggested to use mouse with left hand, but I always fail to do so, may be because of my left side also full of things as well...I don't know....

Starbucks

For those who knows me well, you'll be surprised that I've quit drinking coffee for ages (even though started about end of last year, but for me it's very long).
But today, we were having our breakfast at Starbucks (sorry Jim, not Mc Don Don), and I saw coffee of the day is "Anniversary Blend". As an avid coffee drinker, and a true blue starbucks' fans, of course I was very tempted to try this special flavour. So I asked CC," Will I be okay if I took coffee today?"
He said," Yeah, sure, why not?"
So I was happily ordered one short coffee of the day. As I enjoyed my breakfast nothing happened, and It made me very happy, but in the middle of the church service, suddenly i felt very ill, started with very bad stomach ache, followed by panick attack I guessed, which made me wanted to black out.
As soon as the preach finished, I rushed out, and went to hospital. Then that doctor was on duty *ngelaba* then we talked and I found out that He was Indonesian....wow what a small world..He is Australian now, and working here to avoid the huge tax cut back in Oz...hmmmm what a coincident...anyway not bad lah...even though I'm still ill now, but a bit happy.....*licix*
Anyway I still attended my scrapbooking class in the afternoon, and feel ill again now, don't know whether I'll be well enough for tomorrow or not...I just hope so....
About last posting....I forgot to write down, that one is the twelve apostle in Melbourne. Reading all the confusedness of the comments, made me laugh, anyway I just feel sad because I miss those good old days when I was still in Oz though, surrounded by awesome and fabulous friends...haizzzzzzz.....
Last but not least, forgot to mention credit for Jimmy, who's very kind to teach me how to upload the music to my blog. Thanx a zillion hor Jim! *Singlish*
The song title is I will fly, sung by mm who ar...I forgot, let me check tomorrow then I write down *blush*

Moral of the story is I think Bill Gates is no longer care about his product, until he could deliver such a product that makes everybody's life miserable....
