Dear Bloggie,

Someone...

Signed up for a Princessy High-maintainance Package last night..

It consist of:-

- Goldfish-memory (that cant even remember his Cell number).
- Food-cravings (like Japanese Ramen at 12mn).
- Higher Petrol Consumption (we work on different end of the Island).
- Forever being suan by me (as I cant bear to be too nice to him).

Well.. the list goes on and on..

But Someone said its a Special Day as its been 2 months exactly since our first date; frankly.. I have forgotten all about it.

But well.. Someone has asked for that Package and permission has been granted. =)

Dear Bloggie,

This is my 1000th Post on Cottage By The River!! I thought I'll write something sentimental.. but instead this will be on my Little Excursion to the Zoo zoo Zoo~* Time flies.. started writing back in 2003 to pen down my thoughts as Classes have ended and I am sitting for the last exams in Poly. Wanted to kill some time and at the same time keep some memories.. but noone has expected that I'll still at the same Cyber Space after 7 years and have post 1000th Post. So anyway.. back to my Zoo zoo Zoo.

I am SO looking forward to last Saturday.. My last visit to the Zoo is at least 6 years back; and those who knows me long enough will know that I simply.. Love Zoo. =)

Arrange to meet up with Andrea + Ronnie, Qianhui + Ben and Karen + Eugene at 9:30am at Ang Mo Kio for Breakfast.. Liwei picked me up at my place and thou the meeting time is super unearthly for a Saturday; but NOONE is late!! Had Egg and Loti for Breakfast~* But hor.. AMK's S11 Egg and Loti not nice.. =(
All 8 adults squeezed on a tiny table.. Its kind of silly-looking as the Coffee Shop is almost empty but yet there is this table that is bursting with people. But we 相亲相爱.. =) And after Breakfast.. we made our way to Singapore Zoo~~* While waiting for Eugene's Car to reach, we stand around and took some photos. Okie.. I'm not going to upload all the Animal Photos (not that I took alot to begin with) coz I am just plain lazy.. Anyway.. Zoo is friendly to our Visually Handicap Friends. Sweet~* A visit to the Zoo.. how can I miss my Absolute Favorite - Hippo!! Only manage to see the Daddy and Mummy Hippo.. Baby Hippo is swiming in the water and I cannot get a good shot of him. But nevertheless.. adorable right? There are SO big in size and yet they got the tiniest eyes and the cutest little ears. 他们。。走到哪里就坐到哪里。=__=*Muakz* Then we reach the Kangaroo's Land.. Bestie's Favorite. No money to buy a seat on SIA to Aussie; see if I can get freight over instead. Keke.. How you know you have 烟鬼 for Friends.. when they got all excited when they see Yellow Boxes like this. Ben is already reaching into his bag for Ciggies and Lighter.. =__= But nope, we checked with some staff nearby.. These are not Yellow Box; they are Packing Lots. No smoking is allowed in the Zoo~* The ever famous Baboon.. We are forever spending ALOT of time in this enclosure with the Monkeys.. Watching them catching fleas off each other's back, lazing around sun-tanning and trying to catch the Monkeys 'in-the-act'. Then then...我们发现了通缉犯!!来人啊,快把逃跑的猴子抓起来!I think Zoo is rather 贴心.. They are afraid tha you do not know how does an Otter or Hippo looks like; so they have this 3D Animal Head on the signage.The weather is really warm.. Bestie bought us all a round of Ben & Jerry. Yummy~~* I realized... Zoo has ALOT of Cats (big and small with or without spots) and Monkeys (Brown and White with all sorts of Butts). Talking about Professionalism, this 兄弟 we have here is damn 敬业; he just walk up front and suddenly pose like this for the longest time ever for us to take photo.. Wonder how much is Zoo paying him; maybe Peanuts? See see.. they really is 走到哪里都能坐。I am trying to figure out for the longest time ever.. wtf is this. It is like a brown curtain of some strings.. but 皇天不负有心人. We waited long enough for this Orang Utan that has just came out of some Hair Salon with his beautiful brown rebonded hair to turn around. Half way through we passed by a Toilet and there is ALOT of commotion inside.. I kpo-ed and realised there is a Peeping Monkey in the Toilet~~* Told you Singapore Zoo got ALOT of lao gao. Bestie wanted to see the Giraffe~~* And co-incidentally, its their Feeding Time!! Liwei passed me the money and we get to feed these long-necked Animals.. okie, more of Me feeding while Bestie siam-ed all the way. Okie.. lets pose for a nice photo!! Giraffe got Long Black Tongue with sticky saliva.. damn gross. EEeee~~* We were at the Rhino Enclosure looking at the Rhinos.. Mr Vain Pot got all jealous and after a loud sceeching call; He open up his Beautiful Tail screaming: LOOK AT ME! But well..孔雀开屏,还真不是每天都见到。。This is the Body of the White Rhino with the Birdies.. I am very disturb by these Birdies. I know that Birdies will be pecking off worms or something off the Back of the Rhino.. but I never know they peck Holes on the skin, and continue pecking at the same spot.. Infection anybody? Is this normal? Qianhui wanted to see Horsey.. so here we are, 8 Grown-ups at the Kidz World~~* The Girls posing under the Hot Hot Sun with the Too-too Train.. Ooh hoo~~* Meet Belle, she's real sweet as she is the only one that pokes her head out to be patted. While the others are washing their hand before our 3pm Lunch.. Qianhui and I strayed off and got to carry the Guinea Pig. Everyone was all over the place looking for us... guilty. =( Found a table for 8 at KFC and the Guys went to buy the Food.. Bestie and Me~~* Lunchie~~* Qianhui, Bestie and Me~~* Its been ages since I last ate Fast Food with the Girls.. Everyone tuck in heartily while discussing after-Zoo-plans.. A visit to Little Girls' Room before we set off... A Group Photo before we leave Zoo zoo Zoo~~* I had a Lovely time with my Best Friends and their +1.. 很感谢他们在百忙之中抽出时间,起了个大早、陪了我走那么多路、晒了那么多太阳。因为对动物园情有独钟的应该只有我一个。

But.. that is not the end!! We headed back home for a shower and nap nap (we all wakie very early you know) and gather at Whompoa at 7pm for some delicious Hawker Fare~* Satay Beehoon, Char Har Mee and 鱼头炉.. Yummy~* And headed back to AMK for a 9+pm show~~* Hachiko is a damn good show; its been ages since I cried in the Cinema but 这部戏超感人、超催泪。AMK's Cinema is damn cold.. everyone came out freezing, while I was totally in difference. Only then I realised its coz I had my own cardigan on, and Liwei's jacket too. 温暖咯。。=)

La Kopi-ed at the same S11 we assemble at 9:30am and 散场 at close to 1am. 还真是有始有终。。Head to OCC with Liwei to meet his Friends for a round of Pool before we head home.

Its been a wonderful day out with my Favorite Girls and their Plus One.. Let's do this again soon yar, I had a fantastic time~*

Dear Bloggie,

A brand new week.. Slept around 2+am last night, but surprisingly I am still feeling quite fresh this morning. It has been a busy week last week; both at work and play. So.. some random photos from last week.



Decided to go All Pink last week.. Bright Pink Top with a Pink and Grey Checks Bottom; something different from my usual Black. Well.. not going to attempt it anytime soon again as Colleauges kept asking me what's the change.. And nope.. that's Tuesday and I do not have a Date; I headed home right after work. Woke up at 3am on Wednesday Morning when my LG Arena suddenly auto shut-down as the Battery rans dry just after 12hr. I rely heavily on my Cell for the Morning Alarm and that seriously puts me in a panic mode early in the morning.. So I was google-ing for LG's Service Centre at 3:37am... This is also a week of Birthday~~* 20th January is the Birthday of JT (My Best Poly Pal) and JL.. Bought a cake and celebrated for JL in the Office.. SSFF picked me up after work.. Headed down to Vivo City and send my Cell in for repair; using my LG Shine now and I am Loving my Shine all over again. They keypad feels so good after 6 months of touch-screen. Settled at Shin Kushiya for Dinner.. Yum yum.. how not to get fat you tell me. :p SSFF wants me to eat Breakfast every morning.. so we bought AKK for Breakfast on Thursday. Yupz.. the famous one down West.. and I am Loving the PKK~* Meet up with DG after work on Thursday at Orchard.. Been ages since I last saw him~* He just completed his ICT last week.. Yummy~~* Seriously.. now you know why I cannot slim down even with all the running. Walked around the new Shopping Centres and chilled out a little at the Roof Top Garden on top of Orchard Central.. And.. the night ended with Marvelous Cream~~*

A very Random Photo Post.. well, just trying to get all the photos out from my Camera. But next up.. Zoo zoo Zoo~~*

Dear Bloggie,

这。。是我此刻的心情写照。

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zORszoIuQU&feature=player_embedded

黄小琥 - 没那么简单
作词:姚若龙 作曲:萧煌奇

没那麼简单 就能找到 聊得来的伴尤
其是在 看过了那麼多的背叛
总是不安 只好强悍
谁谋杀了我的浪漫

没那麼简单 就能去爱 别的全不看
变得实际 也许好也许坏各一半
不爱孤单 一久也习惯
不用担心谁 也不用被谁管

感觉快乐就忙东忙西
感觉累了就放空自己
别人说的话 随便听一听 自己作决定
不想拥有太多情绪
一杯红酒配电影
在周末晚上 关上了手机 舒服窝在沙发裡

相爱没有那麼容易 每个人有他的脾气
过了爱作梦的年纪 轰轰烈烈不如平静

幸福没有那麼容易 才会特别让人著迷
什麼都不懂的年纪

曾经最掏心 所以最开心
曾经想念最伤心 但却最动心 的记忆
------------------------------------------

在我最单纯的年纪、最爱做梦的年纪。。在爱情至上,样貌、学历、背景等一切都不重要的年纪,我拥有了一段刻苦铭心的恋情。 他是让我那么难以释怀,应为那是一段最纯真的爱情。

那是我最掏心、所以是最开心的回忆。
可是也是最伤心的记忆。。

时光飞逝、人去楼空。。我试着把他收在我心深处。

到了现在的年纪,经历了那么多风风雨雨、已经不再幻想风花雪月。王子和公主真的只出现在童话故事里、在现实的世界里,不管我多么努力我也永远不会是那公主。

就算现在找到了一个聊得来的伴,可是变得实际的我。。需考量的多不胜数。为什么不能像以前那么简单。。喜欢就好。

一个人久了,也开始习惯一个人生活。虽然也有不开心的时刻,可是在这过程里我也成长了不少。。懂得如何一个人应付。看见人家幸福,我无法衷心的祝福。。可是已学会微笑着面对。只是觉得,我可能再也无法得到那幸福了。

幸福。。好像跟我扯不上关系。

“不爱孤单 一久也习惯
不用担心谁 也不用被谁管
感觉快乐就忙东忙西
感觉累了就放空自己”


这。。是我此刻的心情写照。

Dear Bloggie,

Monday morning and I'm having plenty of negative vibes.. Let me rant a little first before I do the photo updates.
.Random.
Extremely pissed off with Hot-mama.. She is asking me to do so much random stuff that makes me feel like I am her PA or something.
- The photocopier ran out of paper and all paper reams are still in the box.. she can ask me to get the reams out of the box when I am free. Hello?! My job?
- She needs to prepare the name tags for come big Sales Meeting; and she wanted to paste this company logo sticker on it but claim that she cant do it properly as her eye sight is failing her. And I ended up doing up the 100 or so tags for her.
Enough said.. I am extremely unhappy with her.
Okie.. back to my weekend.
I have not done much on my diet to lose weight.. in fact I've been eating as usual if not not. But after Lunch on Friday.. I start to feel this pain. It hurts me so badly that I headed home right after work on a good Friday evening. I feel so damn pathetic.. My Parents are out-of-town for the weekend; I am home-alone with the car and yet I drove home right after work as the pain is just killing me. LW swing by my House to pick me up for Dinner before I eat my Meddy; but all I could eat is half a slice of loti..

And so I slept very early (so loser).. and woke at 6:30am (yupz.. before the sun rises) on Saturday morning.. I feel so much better so I went down to the tracks and jog 8 rounds. Uncle Loh swing by around 10am and we had Tau Huay at Jlan Kayu.. I asked him to drop me off at Hougang Point and I did some grocery shopping at NTUC.

Marinated the chicken for my Project Day; and took a short nap nap.. Drove down to pick my Parents and I asked them to send me down to AMK. SSFF swing by to pick me up and we headed down to ermm.. cannot remember where for Hawker Fare. Then we went to PS and do some light shopping.. and then we went to satisfy my craving for the week.

SSFF found this on the webby.. 1 Caramel. Coz.. in the middle of the week I declared a new craving and so he found the best place for.. Strawberry Shortcake~*

Okie.. This is one of the Best Strawberry Shortcake I ever had. The cake is light and fluffy just the way I like it.. The cream in a pretty pink has generous serving of Strawberrys mixed in. The bottom crust is not the regular cake but rather a flakey crust which is just heaven. The top of the cake is covered in the same flakey crust and a big Strawberry (which is damn sweet).

Yummy~*

He is still hooked my PSP playing the Silly Game. We are now at Level 26 and I am still going on strong!!! Then we walk back to PS for a movie and headed home as I am yawning my head off.

Sunday was a super productive day.. Started the day with my Project (updates at the other side) and after which I proceed to bake a batch of Chocolate Chips Cupcakes.. Promised my Cousin HL that I'll bake her fresh Cupcakes for Breakfast on Monday. So I am just cooking and cleaning and baking and cleaning for half the Sunday. After a short rest I headed down to the Tracks for some light jogging and SSFF came by to send me down to Granny's.. He got a couple of Cupcakes for Brekkie too~*

Its Monday.. the beginning of a new week.

Have a good one people~*
