I always get really excited when the peeps from town council start hanging our national flags in the estate and yesterday I saw these! YAY!
I’m no patriot in fact I’m quite a narcissist! I’m counting down to the day of becoming a quarter of a centenarian!
I’m glad despite all busyness at work I manage to squeeze in some time for my favourite things, people and activity!
I love to…
(1) Share Whimsical Thoughts in SbR. I totally adore blogging despite failing to monetize from this pathetic site!
(2) Punch the old fart at kickboxing class and shake my booty at bollywood dance. Today’s lesson is the best lesson ever! I need to go shake some ass (more often)!
(3) Read a good book (currently reading “Eat Pray Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert)!
(4) Spend quality time with love.
(5) Keep myself updated with my friends’ exciting lives!
I love love all of them!

I’m on afternoon shift today. Love being alone. Dancing around in the living room with “500 Days of Summer” soundtracks playing in the background.
P.S. I was enjoying my “me time” until my granny came home from her checkup. Boo.
I have signed up for a 1.2k membership with Amore. He subsidized part of the cost and demanded my tummy be gone by the end of this year.
YAY. I am one step closer to my first Twenty Ten Resolution – To be lean and healthy. Procrastinator-self be gone!
If you see that I am blogging less, it means I am working my ass off at Amore. GRR.
I’ve never written a New Year resolution because I’m a major procrastinator but there’s a nudging feeling that twenty ten would be different. So breaking my no new-year-resolution-nonsense record, here’s one for twenty ten.
1. To be lean and healthy.
I won’t place myself in the “fat / obese” category but my flab in my tummy and arms are reminding me of my membership in the flab club. I seriously need to reevaluate my non-existing exercise regime and diet! I shall exercise at least twice a week and to avoid fried (my greatest weakness) food whenever possible. Anyone keen to join a fitness club? Kickboxing and Yoga sounds fun!
2. To put in extra effort in my dressing whenever I’m out of the door.
The industry I’m in doesn’t exactly welcome a fashionista at work but that doesn’t mean I need to look frumpy and all! As I announced my second New Year resolution – to put in extra effort in looking my best in twenty ten – the shopaholic in me cheered together with the cash registers in stores. This resolution can be challenging especially with my personal style advisor (Sista!) happily flirting with the Swedes somewhere far away from home! BUT, I will now have the full access to all her clothes and bags! HAHA.
3. To write compliment letters for praiseworthy service personnel.
Working in a service industry made me realize the challenges service personnel faced to please customer from hell and all deserving service personnel ought to be given praises to keep them going. Therefore in twenty ten, I shall put in effort in writing compliment letters / emails for service personnel who go the extra miles in improving our local service standards.
4. To stay positive.
To stay positive in life and in work and to deal with all challenges with a smile and arms wide open!
I was looking through the highs and lows of 2009 and here are the monthly highlights for the year 2009 in SbR and my life. HAH.
December: Sang and recorded a song at one of the “famous” recording studio. Nope, I didn’t cut an album. I was the background singer for our company’s new song. HAHA. WTH
November: Thrice a bridesmaid, never a bride. I was twice a bridesmaid in November (Cousin’s and Rachel’s) and was a bridesmaid (Maxine’s) in December. If my groom ran away from the altar, I know who I should look for!
October: Celebrated our fourth year anniversary with the launch of the Kissable Series by Serene & Hers coupled with his pretty gift and the awesome dinner at Shin Yuu Japanese Restaurant.
September: Farmville was such a hit among the FB community in 2009 and it wouldn’t do any justice to the creator if I didn’t feature them in my list. So in September I was a Farmville addict. First I ranted about it then I joined in the fun.
August: SbR found new sponsors (who are extremely kind) to host SbR on an independent platform. It was a pleasant surprise!
July: The beginning of the controversial post about Reuse, Reduce, Recycle of Proposal Ring which led to a string of hurtful comments and a lack of trust in freedom of speech. In addition to the controversial post, July is the month which marked the ending of my glorious educational achievements and the beginning of an exciting work life.
June: I signed my debt-free life to HDB in exchange for a debt-ful life.
May: Went on a mini grad trip with him to South Korea and it was awesome! Visited so many, many, many places!
April: I bought the Largest Asset of my life!
March: Handed up my thesis and welcomed Freedom with my arms wide opened!
February: The lowest period of my life and SbR’s while fighting a losing battle with the unspeakable devil of thesis.
January: Experienced the painful process of job hunting. It sucks big time!
My 2009 started off really lousy but I’m glad it became better! Now, I can’t wait for twenty ten! 2009 is a crazy year but I’m sure 2010 will be an awesome year! Happy New Year!

I can drive a manual car. Legally.
I cannot drive a manual car. Technically.
I played the GS (Goal Shooter) position in the netball match today. But. I did not score any points for our team. HMPH.
I know I know. What is a GS doing other than shooting and scoring?!
Luckily we had a strong GA (Goal Attack) who scored all the points for our team. We came in 4th. No. There were more than four teams. There were eight in fact.
What do I expect? To miraculously become a top shooter overnight with my dysfunctional body??
For once when I’ve decided to stop procrastinating and get my saggy butt moving this was the response.
Me: Ok I’m going jogging later.
Him: ?!!
How encouraging. But I totally deserved it. I merely jogged for 15 minutes and walked for another 5 minutes. Forget about the jogging stats (I know most people measure their progress in KM. HMPH.) and let’s move on to the less glamorous part of jogging.
Initially I was all dressed up to go burn the fats sitting on my ungrateful butt and thighs, but soon realized I look more like I’m going for a swim then a jog. I should thank the Romans for inventing mirrors in the 4000 BC (According to the all trustworthy source of knowledge - WikiAnswers )
I ended up looking like a middle aged lady all ready to burn her long-overdue-postnatal-fats. GRRR.
