fun in the sun and going 360!

"whooppiieeeee!!", went Yvonne.


Thursday was a fun day in the sun! Third installment of my hotel's staff outing, my colleagues went berserk with glee. The remaining 122 of us swarmed into Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach to play a telematch and then after lunch, it was free and easy time.

We hardly ever have time for gatherings and the telematch was a superb way to bond and foster team spirits!

This game was super funny. They were asked to turn 10 times around the stick and then run back to their camp. Almost everyone ran SIDEWAYS! Some ran to other teams and after recovering from the spin, ran back to their own teams embarassed. hahaha... man... and I recorded everything. Will upload later on.

Then it was free and easy. One of the rides I went on was the Tomahawk!

Well, no photos, only videos but it is a ride that turns 360 degrees and pauses momentarily while the passengers were upside down.

I could feel each and every strand of my hair being pulled by gravity when I was upside down. Strange but I don't really feel as terrified as I have been 5 years ago. I didn't leave and took the ride again right after, accompanying my colleague. Again, just laughing and waving at the camera... haha...


I don't really know what was the feeling but I expected some chills and thrills but I was practically... numb. Weird. 2 things went to my mind:

1) Maybe I'm getting older so I'm not so scared anymore.
2) Maybe because I was kinda ill with runny nose and coughing and recurring diarrhea.
3) Maybe the fear of death is not there!


OK, time for alarm and reflect.

how much is that teddy in the window?

eeeeeeeeeee...! I want a dog!

I went for some pau and dim sum breakfast yesterday... decided to reward my tummy with some good food since I've been having the tummy runs for the past 3 days.

oh btw, I love to eat pau! Yums.

"see, got pau in the background!"

And the group of us decided to stop by the pet shop opposite of the DimSum Shop to walk off the access of paus and gargantuan amounts of dim sum we gobbled.


Then, I thought that I should get a pet. Something to coo and cuddle and play with.

First thing I saw were the fishes section. Boring. And brings back bad memories of my one and only pet, a fighting fish, which died mysteriously. Surprisingly, I didn't name that fish so I'm not too affected.


I saw some birds too...
They didn't strike me with the emotional connection I wanted.


Some hamsters perhaps? Hamtaro, the japanese cartoon, sort of made these little creatures sooo likeable.
But it must be ticklish to hold them...

Then comes the doggy section! So cute!!

I particularly liked this one which looks like a fat teddy bear:

It looks so sad I wanna take it home! Aced the emotional connection requirements!


I had to pull myself away. Condominium living doesn't permit for a dog... not even a super cute one (how inflexible). Plus, I'm never home. How!

You, teddy dog, shall be in my wish list for now. Will get you one day... soon!

year end plans

I am really looking forward to December! Eventhough from now till then, I still have a few major things to kao tim plus lots of commitment and training at work, I'm still pretty excited!

I'm going here:


and here!
I don't normally like to allow myself to be too excited about things before it happens because when it happens it might not be what I expected it to be or something. Don't you ever have that feeling? When you expect 100% and you get like 80% and you feel like craps for a while. I'll definitely give in 100% effort but I normally expect turn outs of like 80% (still quite positive ma) and when it happens, it could be 80% and still I would be alright with it. If it ever falls below 70% then really, it is actually a disappointment. No need to even talk about it anymore.

SO. I'm expecting 80% but am already excited! I wonder if it will be a 110%! I'm getting confused myself! Never mind.

Finally, a trip abroad to a different world after one and a half years!

*will check the "New Goals since Forever" column on the right. Next year will be India!

McDonald's have never failed to give me reasons to call them for deliveries. Look what I've got this time!


Melman Hairband! Really good for days when you feel like looking silly. Good for relieving stress. Can't wait for Gloria's one!
