I'm having this horrible sore throat I just hope it won't turn out to be a full flown fever and flu what with the weather being so unpredictable these days.

Finally met my buddy, Ariff yesterday night for dinner and coffee. His treat of coz since I was utterly broke. And I finally got my souvenirs from him! He actually got me an FC Barcelona Lion mascot thingy!!! That's an inside joke since he referred to me as Madagascar Lion when I had my blonde brown highlights.Pfft. But geez, I can't believe he actually got me that mascot! And he got me the perfume that is not available in Singapore in Barcelona! Whoopee. I am so darn ecstatic about it that's one of the reason I couldn't wait to get them from him.

After seeing his holiday pix in Barcelona & Madrid in Spain and Marrakech,Morroco. I so can't wait to go holiday. All the amazing fashionistas on the Spanish streets were wearing what we here see in magazines. Gosh. How I wish I live there. And of coz since I was his info counter recommending him places to go and Jan was the sales period in Europe so of coz he went crazy shopping. I AM SO JEALOUS.

I still can't believe we're still the same as when we 1st know each other via IRC like back in 2001. It's so amazing, we will talk non-stop whenever we meet that the night is never enough. Despite the sore throat, I had a real good time. Oh but I am still darn jealous he is going to Bangkok again soon and prolly South Africa for the World Cup next year. The privilege of free tix.

To Yuyu babe, we'd iron out my Melbourne trip details next week. I am still considering if I should tag along to Bali with the colleagues...though Bali is not at the top of my list, but an all girls' trip sound fun. And Sherry suggested Egypt trip too since her bf used to study there and know the place well...gosh, can I just go travelling all year and not work? Or maybe I'm just working to fund holidays but at least it's making motivating me to go to work everyday.

Gosh, the last 3 days had been the longest after the 4 day Chinese New Year weekend.

Friday night (23rd jan) - went out for Karaoke with the colleagues all the way till night time. That was total fun, we had a theme of black and white ala The Coven of Cullens (supposedly). Pix on facebook as usual. That was total fun belting out my fav jiwang rock songs since it's been ages.

Saturday - went to J's wedding, congrats to J & Roman on their wedding and hope they have a great honeymoon in Turkey and I like the purple decor. And Hani, you were late, as usual! heh.

Sunday - watched Bride Wars. So totally made me miss my bestie, Yuyu babe. The movie made me teared up in the end.

Monday - was supposed to go to Sentosa with Has and Sherry but due to the PH we didn't really expect there to be so many people going there to, all the ways to go to Sentosa were jammed up. So we opted for Botanic Gardens instead and Sherry had  her day as our photographer with her SLR cam, love the pix she took!

Yesterday, watched Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Though Kate Beckinsale isn't in it since it's supposed to be prequel and all, I thought it was pretty good compared to the other 2 Underworld instalments. I prefer the old feud and all the gore and bloody fighting and all.But that's just me. Let's hope there would be a prequel for Twilight coz I'd really love it if they do a movie on the Cullens and how they came about.

the pain and cramps that come with your monthly period (applicable to women only, obviously). I just hate it when it occurs. I just feel so redundant. Pfft.

So I had to change the plan for my Dempsey Hill outing last night due to this irritating pain and that Mr GT had a last minute video assignment. But we still manage to grab dinner and went gift shopping.

On Friday, met Herman Slash for the treat. Thanx, Slash for the Ramenten treat. Yum! Gosh, I never had so many stuff laid on the table.I was a contented woman. *winks* While I was out with Slash for dinner, Mr GT was meeting Sarip for those 1-1 men talk or whatever you call it.

And Hani bunny was telling me the news on a certain someone's ex bf who is already moving on with a new girl. Well good for him that he's moved on with someone more cheery and smiley. You go boy! Contemplating on being friends again maybe...

Friday was not such a good day at work due to the bad news that affected a few people. But well I guess you just can't avoid this kinda things. It's part of life. Just thankful that at least I know my fate before that.

Mum just told me about this girl Khairunisa, well her name sonds so familiar and I remember she used to be with me in primary school and later in Cedar Girls, 1 year my senior. And she's gettng married. I'm sure Nurrul and Suraiya know who I am talking about, remember Cik Comel, that's her daughter.  I wonder why people get the name Comel and then till they are old they are still called that. It really bugs me.

Talking about Mr GT, he reminded me of the time when I was waiting for my O level results in 2000, and we chatted on IRC, of coz me being me didn't bother replying when he emailed me (hello, how many creepy guys were there pouncing on sec sch girls back then,I am not that naive).

And 2 years later we met again at SP's PHR (he insists it was love at 1st sight..i don't believe in love at 1st sight), and he remembered my email address as THAT girl whom he emailed and didn't reply. Oh well, maybe I tried to escape from him and failed huh. Karma maybe. *shrugs* Lesson learnt: always change your email address so these incidents won't take place.

Herlina (Elyn) and Shahrul (Ayun) on the birth of your little princess this morning! Yay, you have popped finally. Can't wait to see you and the lil princess! All the best on your journey as mummy and daddy, I am sure you both make great parents! *hugs*

On another note, I am still aching from that hike up Bukit Timah on Saturday. Mr GT's idea of a romantic morning walk/exercise. Let's see where shall we go next weekend, maybe Gillman Village or Dempsey Hill, since it's been some time since we went there.Hmm...

Ooh Sherry just told me about one of the French colleagues in the office being hospitalised due to the Santika Club fire. hope he recovers soon! No wonder I didn't see him around to bug him on some overdue stuff.

At the rate I am going, I think I'd drop flat out of exhaustion. This last weekend was the same as the last as I had no rest. Since I was on 2 days MC where I had high fever, sore throat and later lost my voice (thank god for MSN communication at work). I recovered a lil of my voice by Saturday though, phew.

Friday night - watched Madagascar 2. It was ok, but I still prefer the first one, more original. Oh on this note, can I say enough about the whole 2 white tigers killing that zoo cleaner at Mandai Zoo already. He clearly wanted to commit suicide hence why he go and jumped into the freaking moat in the tigers' enclosure. And with their natural predator instinct and feeling protective of their territory and having been in captivity since 2001, you can't blame these Sumatran white tigers for attacking that guy. Geez. Why should there even be a debate over the tigers having to be put down? Nonsense!

Saturday - first it was off to Hani's house for her engagement. Congrats to Hani and Wandi!!! Yay! Hani was looking gorgeous in Royal Blue, though Mr GT, Suba and I were all togged out in Hani's favourite green colour. Finally bumped into J and the rest, Zana and Shalina, but too bad I couldn't stay long coz after the whole engagement process and eating, I was off to another wedding.

Was off to Juli and Rajis' wedding at Choa Chu Kang CC (if I am not wrong,hehe). I thought we were going to Rajis side on Sunday but apparently Mr GT wants to go to Juli's side too since she was his neighbour back in his Jurong days. And Juli was a senior in NYP too, what a small world, but she was from the Engineering side. Furthermore, I don't seem to mix with the girls from the other schools in NYP. Oh well but I seem to know more now when I am not in NYP anymore. weird.

Then it was off to Mr GT's place as they had a small gathering thingy.

Sunday - I was supposed to go with Mr GT to Rajis' place but since I already went yesterday I so need a couple of hours rest so I asked Mr GT to go ahead without me since his DK group will be performing anyway.

Met up with Mr GT's frenz gang at Marina Sq's Seoul Garden for dinner. Then we were off to taking loads of photos, complete with an SLR camera and tripod courtesy of Mr GT's younger brother, at the new Marina Barrage all the way till midnight, as if we were all not working today. But it was fun....fun waiting for the water to come out so we can get nice shots and also of jumping up and down to get motion shots. Heh. I heard about another photoshoot coming up...

Juz some random pix I have been delaying in putting up. So here it goes, I shall let the pictures tell the story coz I am too lazy to type. =P

On my birthday, finally got to go on the Singapore Flyer. Whoopee! World's largest observation wheel at the moment. And of coz the gifts from my darling Mr GT - Elizabeth Arden perfume and my covered Canon IXUS 80 IS which I think costs around $400++. I've been wanting a new digi cam to replace my Panasonic Lumix which has served me well for like hmm 4 years.

Other random pix like the Biotherm products which I won from a magazine contest with retail value of $300 (seriously I have so many skin care products that were won that i don't have to buy them for the rest of the year), Redken hair products and the Fool's Gold T-shirt plus bucket hat which actually Mr GT won but he gave it to me coz I so love the T-shirt though it's damn big.

And pix with Hani bunny and Suba. Thanx girls for the lunch treat and the bouquet of white roses, arranged by Suba herself! Thanks to the many birthday wishes from friends and family too and of course my bestest babe,Yuyu and Mr GT. =)
