To my dearest blood...

To my dearest blood,

I kept the distance...
But it didn't mean I don't care...

I kept the distance...
But, it didn't mean I didn't know or do not wish to know...

I kept the distance...
With all the hopes that you will realise how much I love you...
With all the hopes that you will remember what we all went through together...
With all the hopes that God will open our eyes to see what is really happening...

I heard so much on what is happening...
Some may be true, some may not be true...
It hurts me, it pains me...
But, you just refuse to listen... You hear the words I said... But, you don't listen...

If only, you'd listen....

Not so good Monday....

A Monday... always associated with Monday Blues... You can see the tired faces everywhere...

Today has not been a good day... Things don't seem to go my way... I left the house at 7 am so I can reach office latest by 7.45 am cos I had wanted to do some paper work before I head to the 17th floor to start training.

Upon reaching the bus-stop near the Tampines MRT Station, I saw a SUPER crowded bus stop in the opposite direction... Was wondering if there was a new bus route or something. Saw some buses with the "MRT Shuttle" plate.... Still didn't catch if anything was amiss.

Until, when I reach the entrance of the MRT station, did I realise that there was no train service to Pasir as well from Pasir Ris to Simei. The train service will only start from Tanah Merah MRT. Gosh! Ok ok, my mind was in a frantic rolling... trying very hard to figure out alternatives....

1. Take a bus to Tanah Merah, hop on the train to Raffles Place.
2. Take a direct bus to Raffles Place (which I don't even know what bus to take!)
3. Take the shuttle bus to Tanah Merah, then hop on the train. (But, looking at the crowd at the bus-stop, forget it!)
4. Head down to the taxi stand nearby and hop on to a cab.

I decided to choose option "4". But, when I reach the taxi stand at TM, the queue is unbearable. So, I decided to try my luck at CSQ. The queue was shorter but no taxis seem to come. Finally, I just couldn't take it anymore and tried calling for a cab. Called the SilverCab, was able to speak to a CS Officer but they were unable to find me a cab. Then I called TransCab, finally, they found me a cab within minutes.

The cab arrived and to my shocking astonishment... I glanced at the side of the window (you know the pricing guide they pasted at the side of window?) and was appalled at the cab fares...

Calling charge - $3.50
Morning Surcharge - 35% of cab fare
ERP Charge - $2.50

In total, I paid $26 for the journey from CSQ in Tampines to Battery Road. Gosh! IT is TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE.... And, it is of no fault of mine. Best part is, it is UNCLAIMABLE.... Arghhhh!

Ok, other than that.... the laptop we borrowed for the training just would not accept my password and got locked out. And, we had to resume our training at 12th floor in a cramped area near the DMT Unit. And... I had to stand the whole day... IN my 3 inch heels mind you...

At the end of the day, my feet were aching.... I need the U-Squeeze!!!!!

Okok, gotta sleep soon... another working day tomorrow....

Beauty or Vain?

Two weeks ago, I went for a full facial... A 1st time trial at $38 only. It was painful, because of the extraction but worth all the pain... All my white heads are gone. After the facial, I had a color treatment done on my hair... and changed my streaks to ash grey. My galfrens say that I am really indulging myself... hee! Think I really need it and I DESERVE it....

I am determined to rid my dark circles and eye bags and not forgetting my lines below the eye area... So, I decided to take up the eye treatment course (5-in-1 course for $190). Had my 1st session yesterday... I dun wanna have to wear concealer below my powder just to hide the dark circles... I wanna be able to wear just simple natural make-up in future. And, I will start going for facials once every 3 mths... Just to keep the vain side of me happy.

Oh! An introduction to the place... It is a small place in Tampines St 81. It offers facial treatments, slimming treatments (which I am so tempted to sign up for), hair spa, body massages, pedicure and manicure and make-up services. All in ONE! I loike.... The place is cosy and the owners are so friendly and personalised in the services. Maybe, because, they treasure regular customers.

I have never stayed loyal to a spa/beauty salon before because, I just hate it when the staff starts to hard-sell the products and packages... but, it didn't happen in this new place. So, I see myself going back to the same place again and again....

Can't wait for the next appointment on 25 January 2009 at 1 pm for my 2nd eye treatment session as well as pedicure and manicure... hee! Really in the pampering mood...

Well, I would definitely recommend this place to every lady....

Not forgetting....

Recently, I met up with a friend...
Who reminded me about some others whom I may have missed out in mentioning in my previous
blog...
In my previous blog, I thanked all who have sms-ed all the birthday wishes to me from 28th to 30 December 2007...
But, I missed out... To all who remembered... who sent their wishes via email, Facebook application, Friendster application.... You were not forgotten... I thank you all with all my heart....
To name a few.... Seha, Lysa, Vivian, Juita and some others.... To list down all will mean another long list....
But, I do appreciate it all...
Love you all, muahhhchkz~

It is a new year altogether...

11 days have passed...
Year 2007 have gone by, 365 days passed like a minute...
Year 2008 is here... another 365 days to go by...
Many happened in year 2007, sweet and bitter memories...
Sweet memories will be kept in the depths of my mind and heart...
Biter memories will be diminished to ashes to leave a place for new....
I do not wish to make new year resolutions this year cos I never managed to keep up to them...
Only 1 thing I would like to do this year...

To learn to take things as it comes....
