TGIF!!!

Today Glenn whatsapp me a photo of his lecture and his Norwegian identification card. The picture in his identification card seriously cannot make it. LOL! XP

Bak Chor Mee Lunch with Jo :))

I met Jo for lunch today at a coffee shop near my workplace because she was going to Tanjong Pagar for some leg hair removal appointment so she took one more stop to come and meet me! So sweet of her!! :)) We had bak chor mee. This stall noodles is quite nice actually.

This girl is finally going to start working next Monday, which is on my birthday itself, at Orchard. So coincidental! Seems like I can meet her on Fridays to go home together. Heehee. We agreed to meet on this Saturday to exercise again. I am only exercising on every Saturday now which I think is not sufficient but I don’t know which other day I can make time to exercise. Sigh~ I want to lose weight!!!

A fulfilling Sat with Bro and the Girls

This morning I had Mac breakfast with my brother!!! I think I haven't met him since a long time ago though both of us cannot remember if it is 6 months ago or 18 months ago since we last met up at one of the Khatib Central coffee shops for supper. He is currently studying in Perth for a degree in Economics and now back in Singapore during his holidays. It is sweet of him to buy me jelly beans from Australia. LOVE IT!! <3 He will be going to China for exchange on 1st Sept for a year but will be back in Singapore again during CNY. It feels really good to catch up with him today. The topics we talked about on marriage and housing make me feel that we have grown up (not to use the word “older” XP). Everything seems to be going on well on his side which is a good thing. :)) I felt really happy meeting up like this. It is really hard to get him because he always seems to be so busy. But nonetheless it was him who initiated to meet for a meal though I am the one who asked him on FB first whether he is back in Singapore already. HAPPY HAPPY!!! The next time when I will probably meet him should be during CNY when he comes back during his China exchange. Looking forward to then! :D:D

  

I met Jo and YW in the evening to exercise at Khatib Stadium. We ran 6 rounds of slow jogging, did 100 sit-ups, 50 dips and end off with 2 rounds of half-sprinting-half-walking. It was really tiring. We had dinner at one of the Khatib Central coffee shops. I had Rojak and the two girls shared 2 chicken wings and a plate of satay with ketupat. Oh! And we had fruit juice too! :)) It was very filling. Then they head to my house and we played one round of Bohnanza with my sister. It was quite fun! :D:D:D

While walking to my dinner place from the stadium, Glenn whatsapped me photos of sunrise taken on a hill in Norway. Sun rise is really beautiful!!

I had a fulfilling Saturday!! :D:D:D

Last episode of Secret Garden

I finished my last episode of Secret Garden. IT IS NICE!!! Considered a sweet ending and it really touches my heart. I feel so happy for Kim Joo Won (Hyun Bin) and Gil Ra Im (Ha Ji Won) being together in the end with 3 children. So sweet!!! The only regret is not getting the approval of Kim Joo Won’s mom and so they didn’t get to hold a wedding. But thankfully, his mom loves their children and the couple lives happily ever after... <3



Now I am getting the usual hangover again as I always do after every korean drama I watched. I feel so lost. Glenn suggested to get more shows from Cody and my sister suggested to watch other korean drama to get rid of this hangover then continue with this process forever. Haha. Well.. I think I should get back to watch Running Man to cheer myself up. Yoo Jaesuk!!! :D:D:D

Secret Garden

Recently I am so addicted to watching Secret Garden. I wanted to watch this show since 1 year plus ago but keep on didn't have the time to. Finally, I'm watching it now! I really love Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won a lot. Such a sweet and loving couple though it is just a show. I spent almost my entire long weekends on watching Secret Garden. Now, I’m only left with 2 episodes to the ending. I wonder what I should do after the show ends. I think I will feel lost again like I always do and need several days to get over it. Haha.
 
 

I went jogging with Jo on Saturday evening at Yishun Stadium and dinner together at one of the hawker centres in Khatib central. Not bad, I exercise in the gym on the Thursday that just passed and jog on Saturday. I should continue to keep up on exercising until I reach 48kg but I have no motivation at all and my weight just refused to reduce. Zzz~

Glenn finally got his phone in Norway!

YAY!! Glenn finally received his sim card and now we can whatsapp again using his new HTC One X that he purchased there. So happy and excited! I don’t have to log in to FB from time to time again to check if he is online. We can finally chat freely whenever we want. Haha. :D:D:D

Farewell Dinner for Lincoln

Today, I found that it is possible for me to do a overseas postage to Glenn so I can post him food like maggie noodles and japanese curry. Glenn also ask me post his ipod shuffle with cable if possible. I’m also thinking of making a card, which carries all the wishes from Singapore, for him. Then I can simply drop the card into the box to post to him and surprise him.

I made a rough outline of the card and brought it along to the class gathering which is meant to be a 10-06 farewell dinner for lincoln son so that the class can write their wishes for Glenn (since most of them are already there)! He is flying off to Scotland in a week time on 20th August at 8pm for exchange programme. Agnes, Yvonne, Yuanwen, Jo, Allena, Fred, Yihan, Charles, Kangrui, and of course, Lincoln, turned up. We had ajisen dinner at J8 followed by ice cream at Mac. We got a really long chat to catch up on each others’ lives with plenty of jokes and laughters (as expected with Lincoln around). It feels good to hang around with the class. I love JC days... <3

National Day

We had a national day celebration on 8 August and I participated in the choir performance for the celebration so we had been rehearsing a couple of times since last week. We are singing One People, One Nation, One Singapore followed by We are Singapore. I had to recite the national pledge in the song We are Singapore and I was so nervous that day seeing so many people in the audience seats. But luckily everything turned out well and it seemed like we have received accolades from several staff. :)) The catered lunch was delicious. I ate Laksa, Rojak and Ice Kachang.

Jean will be joining my branch on Monday. I hope we can be really good friends to lunch and gym together. All the best to me!!! :))

Yesterday was National day. Wei Chang, Nic, Bernard, Nathaniel, Renny, Christianne and me met up for dinner (supposingly a farewell dinner for Wei Chang who is going to Manchester to study Masters under MOHH scholarship but his flight is actually on 15 Sept so yesterday’s dinner is just a meet up for everyone and we are meeting again on 6 Sept for his farewell dinner). We had dinner at Coco Ichibanya @ 313 and dessert at Cold Stone Creamery @ Orchard Central. I had my Mud Pie Mojo again. Haha. LOVE IT!! We had several hours of chat and it might be possible that we will study part-time Masters in NUS together next year August. I have to see if my motivation to study is still present then. Right now, I am planning to go for Masters but I’m uncertain if the kick will still be there 1 year later. Haha!!

TGIF!!! It’s Friday again!!! I love Friday!!! :D:D:D Weekend is here again. Oh yes! I have program on Sunday!!! YAY!!! I hope I am not lonely without Glenn on weekends. Luckily I’m not this weekend. I have to constantly find program for myself on weekends. Going to J8 Ajisen for a farewell dinner for Lincoln son who is flying to Scotland on 20 August. I hope he doesn’t come back with red checkered skirt and bagpipes though it is highly likely. LOL!! HAHA!!!

10-06 babes hang out @ Allena's house

I had enjoyable weekends!! :))

Since Glenn is not around, I think I should make myself more busy so hopefully time passes faster. Not by working longer hours but by spending more time with my family, relatives and friends.

After work on last Friday, I head straight down to my aunt’s house and stayed over with my mom until Saturday afternoon. I spent the whole time playing with my little nephew. He made me play Beyblade with him. He will fix everything for me and all I have to do is to pull. He is really cute and loveable. He actually put a few snacks into my bag and I’m surprised seeing them after I left my aunt’s house. We went to Junction 10 to eat at Paradise Inn (like again after I had dinner with Glenn and his family at Terminal 1 Paradise Inn the day Glenn flew off), but well, luckily the dishes are different.

Bad news, I received a call from Glenn’s dad on Saturday morning informing me that Glenn got his mobile phone pickpocketed and called him from police station at 3 am (Singapore time) to cancel his line. No wonder I received a call from Glenn’s mobile at 2.09am. The person probably has gotten the phone at that time. Poor Glenn. His mood must have been ruin on the first day he was there. I hope he will get over it soon and enjoy his trip there.

Sunday, I went over to Allena’s house in the late morning after breakfast with my family and we chatted a while before heading to her nearby park to jog. We only jogged for like 15 mins and Allena cannot run anymore. Probably because of the warm weather since we were jogging at noon. After bathing, Von was already at Allena’s house. 3 of us had lunch together. I love the dumplings. It is nice!!! Over the meal, Von told us that she is attached for 2 months already (happy for her!! :D:D:D Lucky for Zi Chao) but she has been keeping it low profile as she was only trying out initially. Jo and Fred came over in the afternoon too. We played Shadow Hunter, Bang!, Asshole Daitee and Bridge (after Fred left). We also have a bit of girls chat before ending the day.

That night after I reached home I skyped Glenn for about 45 mins since I won’t be talking to him until he reaches his student village and has WiFi. Slept pretty late on Sunday night so I am quite tired yesterday.

Glenn will reach Trondheim at 7am (Norway time) and probably settled down in his student village at 1pm (Norway time) so hopefully I can skype him tonight at 7pm (Singapore time) after I reach home for work. Looking forward to it.... :D:D:D

Glenn flew to Norway... :((

I was on Family 10-06!!! wall in FB a moment ago and I discovered the link to our class long lost blog (http://ten-o-six.blogspot.com/). I was scrolling through the blog then noticed that there is a link to Lindy, indicating my blog. I was thinking, “WHAT?!?! I HAVE A BLOG?!?! Like since when?” then I curiously clicked on the link and to my surprise, I did blog when I was in AJC (omg!) and the last entry was on May 28, 2008. LOL!! This is a long (x5) lost blog. I was reading through some entries and realized that there are so many sweet things that once happened in my life that I forgot totally without reading these entries but images start appearing when reading.

Life is so amazing.  :))

But because of our busy lifestyle and living in a world that needs us to remember so many things. More often than not, we forget a lot of things that are sweet and make us smile. Jotting down bits and pieces that happen in everyday life will allow one to remember those beautiful things and people in life. And I want to remember all these things. One day when I am wrinkled and aged, I hope there is something for me to look back and smile at. And I believe that this blog is capable of doing so.

Today is the first day without Glenn. He flew off to Norway last night at 11.35pm for exchange program for 5 months. Backed only on 2 January, 2013. So many of his university friends came to send him off at the airport. He must be really well-liked in school, like he has always been. I feel so happy for him. It is always good to enjoy school life (but without exams). Now my life revolves about working from Monday to Friday and resting on weekends. I have started working in MOH since 16 July, 2012 for 3 weeks already. Working life is boring, stressful and tiring.

5 months without Glenn, I don’t know how my life will be like. Good, hopefully.
