Monday Blues
The day didn’t start well, with me waking up late.
Seems like the shampoo I’m using now isn’t suitable, despite washing my hair on Sat, woke up today with an itchy head. Running late for work, but I can’t stand working with an itchy scalp.
So by the time I left house, it was already 9.45am.
Thankfully it was relatively fast to get a cab. Reached office by 10.10am 🙂
Somehow, the bluey bug hit me. Very moody throughout the entire day, that I was on the verge of taking PM leave to go for a walk. Sigh.
Not wanting to waste my leave, which is private limited by the way, I endured. 30 mins before the office day ends.
But it’s raining outside now. Forgot to bring my jacket, forgot to bring the umbrella which I brought home from office last Friday.
That means.. I’m stuck in office until the rain stops.
Or
I shall take the train to Bugis, buy an umbrella from Giordano and go for a walk at Bugis Village.
Shall see how later.
Doing a fair bit of research today, on a bluey Monday.
More complaints
Found another reason of not going town on a weekend. The bus to orchard/bugis is ALWAYS packed. Frequency is much lesser compared to a weekday peak-hour, that means longer waiting time if you can’t board the bus.
Waited 10mins for the bus just now, which was quite reasonable given that the bus practically stops at all the stops from CCK interchange to my bus stop. While boarding and waiting for the other passengers to move in, this lady behind me kept pushing. What’s the hurry? U used coins to pay your bus fare, there’s no hurry in getting your bus ticket mah, since you’ll get to the ticket machine soon. But no, she pushed and pushed and pushed. Nearly fell because of her. Haiyos. After the journey through BKE/PIE, people alighted. And she pushed and pushed and pushed to get to the vacant seats. Wah lao.. Stand a bit will die meh?
Cannot take it. I am going to enjoy bag shopping with Lee Wei in the terribly-packed orchard. Then meeting the photo-khakis for Circle Line shooting!
Being random
Always forgot there’s a reason why I don’t like taking trains. During peak hours, it’s worse than travelling on buses. You feel like a sardine jammed in a sandwich. Trains that do not bring you the whole journey, or you had to change 2 trains just to get to your destination. No idea why I got on the train that terminated its service at Yishun when i’m heading towards Bukit Batok. I swear the display board said Jurong East when I boarded!
Alighted at Yio Chu Kang and waited for the next (second in fact) train that goes Jurong East. Feels like being in outer space, surrounding looks so alien.
I think I’m still a bus person. Despite inconsiderate passengers who do not move to the rear, despite the irregular arrival timings. Despite having to tolerate traffic jams.
🙂 it’s a happy day.
Boat ride on the Singapore Clipper
When Benjamin from STB told me about the boat ride, I was like “huh what boat ride? what’s singapore clipper?” Asked uncle google, and he told me it’s one of the boats that’s currently in a race – of which they are called Clipper Race. Singapore Clipper is (partly?) sponsored by the Singapore Tourism Board, thus we had the opportunity to step on board.
I actually video-ed the process of raising lowering the sail. 😀
Photos tell more than a thousand words. Check out my FB album for the other (selected & cropped) photos! We sure had fun!
Also on flickr.

This post took a long time to complete ‘coz I got too lazy. The trip happened in January, that’s how lazy I got. 😀
爱
看了《就想赖着你》，想不通为什么一个人能自私到不让喜欢自己的人爱上别的人，自己却死者不放现在的感情。
自私的爱，我也看到了伟大的爱。为了让对方得到幸福，自己在一旁不停的支持他。
这伟大的爱，会有结果吗？
Updates!
Looks like it’s time for some updates again!
Changed blogskin! Doing housekeeping at the same time. Then a question came to my mind.
What’s the difference between category and tag?
Frankly speaking, I have no idea too! Probably that’s why I have a messy list of categories and tags :p
Alright.. Am still working on the blog layout, while working on the post on Singapore Clipper. Soon.. yes soon..
Chingay 2010
Been involved in Chingay as a helper/motivator for a few years now. This year was different, I participated as.. AUDIENCE! =D
Got excited when I received invitation from STB. Almost had to reject the invitation due to family gathering, thankfully the gathering got postponed!
Surprised that our seats were pretty good ones, first row in the last sector. =)
Our emcee for the sector. Sorry but I have no idea who he is :p
Seems like.. Starwars have been appearing at quite a few events recently
Let the photos do the talk.
Weirdest CNY ever
Started without a reunion dinner with the immediate relatives, something which we had done yearly.
Standard routine for day 1 was to go to the said-granny’s place. No idea why, but she ignored us.
Much as I enjoyed the 2nd visit for the day, I reached home with 1 red eye. Of which the redness went off only at the end of day 2.
After the red card on day 1, day 2 was pretty much dreaded. Pretty much the same, ignorance. Less than 2 hrs and we left.
Plans to wear new clothes on day 2 failed. Felt too warm in the blouse, skirt was too loose.
I need a better new year please.
HUAT AH!!
I was looking at my blog stats, via wordpress.com. Am pretty surprised that I’m getting an average of 24 visits/day! Not a huge number, but it’s great achievement!
Thank you readers! =D
It’s TIGER year! Wishing all of you a prosperous & fulfilling year ahead!
HUAT AH!
