I am so high on sugar rush now...hahah..just came back from Max brenner with brennan and his friend wendy,whom I really clicked well with, with no awkardness at all. In fact, we had a good time ganging up against brennan...
The plan was initially just to meet for max brenner and have a light dinner before that. But I remembered that Gelare waffles are sold at half price on Tues and since I have been hankering after it for quite some time cos no one else seemed interested in it,and brennan and wendy were quite agreeable,so it was waffles for dinner..and man,was it good.. The waffles were crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, topped with whipped cream, maple syrup and a scoop of ice-cream( I chose praline and cream), it was simply yummilicious...I attacked it with gusto and it was gone prety fast..hahah...and after that there was this huge smile on my face.. I want to go back again..hahah...
After that, it was off to Max brenner, where I ordered chocolate souffle(duhhh)..I shant describe it again,cos I think I did it before, and anyway, a picture can speak a 1000 words, and I took lots of it,though I wasnt supposed to,thus I had to turn off the flash,making alot of pics blurred, but still pretty acceptable.. After the food, which disappeared quite fast, for me at least, we just hung around chatting..It was quite a good chat, cos I havent had a coversation like this in ages...we had a girly(sorry brennan) chat about relationships which was pretty interesting and yeah, I enjoyed myself alot..
It was quite a cool nitepretty chilly actually. We just walked along the bay,enjoying the breeze and scenery, which brought back nice memories...which also made me rather wistful..I try not to brood on it, trying to keep myself occupied with thingy, but time really does seem to be passing super duper slowly...there is just this constant ache..sigh..
At least I had a great time today, happy and satiated..

Just an update of the weekends, had a slack weekend as predicted, which I totally welcomed. Had dinner at Sakae on saturday, dad's treat cos he was feeling guilty about making me wait for him for 1hr at Toa Payoh. I think that I can forget about going for the Sakae buffet cos I cant eat much at all,well, at least not rice and only the stuff on the red plates look palatable and those are not included in the buffet. I thought the food on the coloured plates looked quite unappetising, and I felt full after taking 2 red plates and shared soft-shell crab with dad...
Surprisingly, Dad didnt say anything about my hair when he saw me...hahah....I was the one who asked tentatively if my hair colour was too bright, and he said that since I am big enough to make my own decisions now, there was no point in scolding me...that made me quite taken aback. But that being said, after going back to the salon on saturday, the amount of red streaks in my hair were reduced,which make the overall effect much nicer, the red highlights were more subtle and not so 'in your face' obvious. Now, I hope the red colour won't fade that quickly..hahah..yeah I am very contradictory.
Sunday nite, mum invited her bible study group members over for a bbq at our house and insisted I show my face.. I turned up for 15mins, mainly for the food though,hahah..Which I managed quite a bit, despite having dinner with dad before going home..There was quite a spread of mashed potato,bacon wrapped chicken, bratwurst sausage(my fave), stuffed potato, waldorf salad and even popiah, and plus strawberry cheesecake,all home-made.. I was pretty impressed with the spread.. After dinner, they played some games which I didnt join in, it was quite amusing to watch a bunch of aunties shrieking and running about....so undignified..tsktsk

Just came back from lunch with mum..went to great world city and we had bread and coffee for lunch...spinelli's cafe latte...haha...thats the life, havent had cafe latte in ages, other than self-made ones.. ,Ok, maybe its just me, but it doesnt taste as nice as it used to,think nowadays, I prefer teh tarik and teh-c and the likes...
Having made a statement about not caring about what other ppl think, I retract it.. I am going to the salon again to lighten the redness of my hair..hahah.. guess I am still a conservative person at heart despite all my talk, and heck, I still care about what people think..
And after sniffing around perfumes for the past week, I have shortlisted 5...hahah...in no order or preferences, they are:
1:Curious by Britney: The bottle is blue and really lovely and the smell is unique and exotic,as compared to other floral perfumes and not too overpowering as well. Staying power is quite good..Curious tempts the senses with fragrant blooms of Louisiana magnolia touched with golden Anjou pear and dewy lotus flower. The anticipation builds with a fresh bouquet of white flowers. Pink cyclamen brings an unexpected twist to the rich floral heart, while bottom notes of vanilla-infused musk enveloped in rich, creamy sandalwood and radiant blonde woods weave an addictive aura into the fragrance.
2: Echo by davidoff:This scent possesses a blend of "white grappa accord" a unique note never used in perfumery before. Other notes include Grape-Raspberry Granite, Iris Pulp & Osmanthus Flower, Cristal Amber & Violet Wood. Hmmm..sounds good, smells good too
3: Miami Glow by Jlo: Lovely bottle ..This scent is tropic-cool meets blazing sun with a hot cocktail vibe, all its own. A sexy blend of tropical fruits, shimmering floral notes, and sultry amber and musk, this sensual scent is as hot as it’s namesake, and comes adorned with a colorful beach bracelet finished with a bronzed flip-flop charm. Notes: Passion Fruit, Coconut Water, Black Currant, Orange Flower, Heliotrope, Sun-Baked Sand, Amber, Vanilla Orchid, Crustal Musk.
4:Dior addict:The top notes are a blend of night queen flower, bourbon, vanilla absolute and silk tree flower.This is a very sweet smelling fragrance..The bottle is very nice too..simple and pleasing
5: DYNY Be delicous:DKNY Be Delicious is a modern feast for the senses. Served in a sleek metal and glass apple bottle, this juicy fragrance combines the scent of apple with a sophisticated blend of exotic flowers and sensual woods. Like the city that inspired it, Be Delicious celebrates individuality with refreshing spirit. Notes include Amaerican Apple, Cucumber, Grapefruit, Candid Magnolia, Tuberose, White Muguet, Rose, Violet, Sandalwood, Tender Skin Accord, Blonde Woods, White Amber.
Oh man..how to choose...I want to buy all...hahah...that is, if I have the money, which I don't of course

And its the weekends finally..finally a little rest and relaxation, been so seemingly busy the past week, sleeping late, waking up early, working, going out and all...no programs lined up,just wanna rest..so exhausted and weary. And its only been 1 week since he left, one long and tortuorous week...but now thinking back, it isnt too hard after all. I guess its true, if I think of work as sian, and I go in with a sian face and sian attitude and just keep waiting for 12pm and 5 pm to come,then obviously I won't find much enjoyment in working. But if I keep a positive attitude, and give it the best I have got,though its just a temp job, I can make a difference in other ppl's life and it would in turn make me feel like I have achieved something,which would make working much more rewarding than the pay I am getting,which, I must admit is pretty rewarding as well..hahah
Yesterday was a great day, as mentioned earlier on, I chatted to my colleagues alot cos everyone asked about my hair. Haha, ok, I dun feel that bad anymore, its just a bloody haircolour after all, it doesnt change who am I. And besides, I cant please everybody,so what for try to? If I like it, then so be it. But the problem is that I am not sure if I like it at all, one thing for sure is, its unique..hahah..There was a temp guy who was around my age(going in to NUS this sem) and it was his last day yesterday(lucky him) and the custom was to buy something for everybody, most people normally bought the snack-sized chocolates to pass around.. And I got an extra huge packet of chocolates...hahah..and before that, he had given me famous amos cookies before, guess really, the whole world knows about my love for candies... Then there was phototaking session again...and my older colleagues(aunties) kept teasing him about his 'ulterior' motive to take picture with them was actually to take with me..hahah.. I was like ????
At nite, I went to steph's grandmother's birthday party despite his absence. Thought initially I was very hesitant and nervous about going,plus given my funky haircolor, but I enjoyed myself alot over there.. The family is huge with kids running about and I had fun playing with them..and meeting all the cousins and aunties as well who were all very friendly..
End of week..5 more weeks to go..

Today was certainly not a boring day, all my colleagues who walked past me,or where I was sitting were all taken aback. The general consensus was that it was very bright, but that it would fade in time(I definitely hope so man).. Erm, a few said it was nice and suitable for young funky girls,and it was a different look, but i could tell most were just being nice,not wanting to burst my bubble. But there is no bubble to burst anyway, I am fully aware of what my hair looks like,flaming red, thats what it is..
But come to think of it, when I looked around today, most people's hair are dyed in varying shades of brown,golden or blond, not many redheads around,thus it is a unique look rite? And I choose to believe that it would really look nice once the red is mellower..and yeah, time to jazz up my image a bit rite, time to see the punky side of me...hahah...just kidding..
Anyway,even lunchtime was interesting cos I bumped into 3 familiar faces today. Went to raffles city today. One was a JC classmate who was working at odeon towers and was dressed like a young executive..hmmm..atas place to work at. Then I bumped into a TS classmate who was working at Timberland and stopped to chat abit. I avoided the 3rd one cos she was the daughter of my mum's friend whom I didnt like much cos I always thought she was pretty obnoxious and fake and think she is up there with the tops cos she is a lawyer. Oh, but I avoided her cos of my red hair and I didnt feel like making small talks with her...
Haha, that's it then. And I am having dinner with steph's family. Just great, considering the state of my hair..sigh..think I would just brazen it out and be nonchalant about it

Haha..had an interesting time after work today...Work was pretty good, I was more chatty and more productive than usual.. I went to Kimage to do my hair today, mainly trim off the dry ends and get a new colour, though boring old me was probably going for the safe colour,which was brown and golden highlights or something..
Had an adventure on the way...as there were no direct bus to chinatown point from my office(ithink), I had to walk to cityhall to take a bus. When I got up the bus, I asked the driver if the bus went to chinatown point, and he said yes, so I sat down near the front. Apparently I didnt get down at my stop and didnt know until the busdriver turned around and informed me that I had missed my stop...right..he might as well have told me when we reached the end of the run..okok... be nice..anyway, he was nice enough to give me the directions, as was another elderly man who piped in. And he asked, are you a foreigner.. Ermm, ok, which part of me looks foreign?? hahah...anyway, they were quite incredulous that I did not know my way though I was local...fine, I can be quite blur at times. Sigh, so i took a very long walk to my destination,but at least the walk was nice, very touristy and all, and very filled with tourist..
Anyway, the stylist convinced me to highlight my hair red for a differnt look though I was quite adamant and very hesitant, but I was game to try. The end result was..hmmm...ok lor, though izzy and the stylist thought it was very nice...Mum thought I looked punkish, I thought I looked weird..and steph was shell-shocked when I showed him the pic...sigh...kind of regretting it now. Oh well, we live only once rite, so must be adventurous mah..rite? Sighhhh...comments??

Today was definitely a better day than tmr,it would have to be better, cos yesterday was a totally sucky day..but of course,the conversation with steph yesterday night helped too,missed talking to him. Our talktime was at a record high of 2hrs, and all free,thanks for skype.
My appetite seems to have returned too, at an alarming rate. I started being angry an hour before lunchtime and started on the egg mayo sandwich which I had intended for lunch. I made the instant campbell mushroom and chicken soup to go with it and it was nice dipping the bread into it..hahah..then my colleague shared some cake with me.
During lunchtime, I walked to raffles city,hoping to catch a glimpse of some good looking delegates from the IOC session, no such luck though,but there seemed to be more angmoh's than usual, and the place is really heavily guarded with armed officers. I then bought a cheese pancake,a scone and a yoghurt and just walked around until end of lunchtime....very very full now, my stomach is groaning in protest now...
very sleepy now...zzzzzzzzzzzz......
coffee time

I am so stoned now
Just staring at my pc
Doing my work mechanically
Sometimes lapsing into space
Sometimes on standby mode
Even the coffee doesnt work anymore
Normally by this time, I would be wide-awake
Thinking of where to go and what to eat for lunch
Even though its still scones everyday
Somehow I seemed to have lost my appeitite today
3 more weeks of work
Only the internet and blogging is keeping me in there
But working surely beats being at home
The nagging and all would surely make me go nuts
Can't wait for sch to start
Yes, even the studying part..hahah
Just caught a whiff of Aqua elements
Made my knees go weak
Made me think of him
Cant believe its only been 3 days
It feels like 3 weeks
Time is passing so so slowly
Miss him like crazy
