Teething Problems

Met up with Ah Teng yesterday for lunch at Cafe Cartel. After a meal of tough chix breast, I had to go to the dentist due to a suspicion that my tooth filling had come off...Took time-off and left office early...

My frantic search for a dental clinic started from Orchard, to Bt Batok West...BB Central...Jurong East and back to BB West again. Business seems particularly good at those clinics, and no dentist could fit me in between their appointments. Towards the end of the day, I was prepared to do without one...

Thank God that I had my luck at the last attempt. Left the clinic with two fillings, polished teeth and lighter purse...

Sad thing is I couldn't eat the mini M&Ms given to me by Ah Teng...

Moral of the story: Always brush your teeth well...and avoid eating too much chocz...

Tuesday

Today is the 2nd day of the week...and another day of boredom in the office...Nothing perks me up...lunch is horrible - greasy noodle with fatty chix cutlet (more fats than meat)...Could my blues be due to the classes commencing next week? Or the boring office work? Or my fast-declining chocz supplies? Or the pesky ex-supervisor who juz returned from her long vacation? Or the bf who's nonchalant about the new flat and my moods?
*sighs*

Blk 987A

Finally booked an unit at JW Blk 987A, although it's not what I wanted initially. According to Ah Teng, the unit I wanted was a 'sick' unit, so it was a blessing in disguise. Hope this unit would have better fengshui.
This is the layout of my unit #561, and Ah Teng's unit #563 at the blk next to mine, several levels higher... Too bad we aint on the same level, else we could throw tidbits to each other. Ha!
Gotta wait another 6mths before we could collect the keys...Hmm...Quite a long wait.

W.I.S.

Today started off like other typical Tuesday...I was in the bus listening to my mp3, when I thought I heard something about HDB Hub on the TVmobile, but the broadcast was too short to mean anything to me...

Upon reaching the office, I switched on computer, sipping at my brewed tea, ready to start the day with a game of freecell...then I suddenly thought of checking out HDB website, to see if there's any news of the JW wis...

Just as I saw the announcement on the site, my colleague shouted to me excitedly, that she had received an email alert from HDB (she was looking forward to the JW WIS too). With that, I phoned Ah Teng (who was with her bunny lah at that point in time) and quickly applied for halfday off...bearing in mind, my colleague's request for a copy of the application form too...

In less than an hour's time, I was in the queue...0292 was my number. The Indian lady at the reception was quite fierce-looking, so I was afraid of asking her for extra copies for Ah Teng & colleague...At Ah Teng's request, I proceeded to the counter again (hiding my own forms) asking if I could get a copy of the forms (careful to avoid the Indian receptionist)...Lucky the Chinese lady who attended to me the 2nd time was kind-looking, and I got two extra copies! Hee!!

Was quite disappointed to find out that not all the 98x blocks are released, calculated that there would only be 170+ units available...With my Q-no, guess I don't really stand much chance...Moreover, the keys would only be available in August next year...What's the difference between having a WIS now and a year later?

BuBu

This is the plush I've been yakking about...

Funny that I wasn't able to find it on the internet, except in Yahoo auctions & Ebay.

Realised that there's also a version that has webcam capabilities...

Isn't it cute?

Gorging week

Another week of gorging ahead...that's what I do in the office when I'm stressed or bored...My pantry's running low...time to do some shopping...

Finished my cashflow last week, nothing special in my inbox...guess daydreaming's in my agenda for the week...

Spent the weekend watching the tube, found a new Korean soap series 'Princess Lulu', and the female lead had a stuffed toy which I saw during my Korean trip...I loved that stuffed toy...Didn't buy it that time, because it was quite expensive and I got too much stuffed toys at home...=(

Think the name of the toy was 'bubu' or something like that. I wasn't able to find any pix of it online but I remembered seeing it a couple of weeks ago in Suntec/Marina...

Happily Ever After

Last Friday (02/06/06) was probably one of Ah Teng’s happier days. She had her solemnisation dinner on that day. Close friends & relatives were around to give their blessings to the newly-wedded couple at the TungLok TeaHouse @ China Square.

At the dinner, I was seated at the same table with her bunch of crazy gals from secondary and JC days… Of course, I was the loner from primary school.

It was an honour to see the royal Queen of England and her slaves, as well as the talented Yollev in person. I also saw the pretty gal ‘Ah Pet’ aka Corrine May, and many others…

Luckily, Ah Teng found my bouquet up to her standards and it saved me the trouble from running to the nearby florist for an emergency replacement.

Was dead beat when I reached home, could barely drag myself to the showers before hitting the bed…Ah Teng must be more tired than me, but then the power of love is strong to keep her going on…

Uploaded the pictures taken on that day to Yahoo URL… As usual, my stupid digicam isn’t great with night shots, and always gives the wrong impression that the pix taken are nice (on screen) till they are downloaded to the computer…Hope the other ‘photographers’ took nicer shots…

With one ROM down, there’s another ROM awaiting me in the upcoming month…another opportunity to eat… Ha!
