Gastric Flu

I am on MC today. Down with gastric flu. Poor me. My poor tummy has been feeling bolts of tummy ache at every half an hour to one hour intervals. Those type that comes and go. It started since Monday and got more regular and painful yesterday. So this morning i went to see my doctor. He said it will take a few days to one week plus to recover. Asked me to rest my tummy... and not eat too much! I only can eat a little bit. Gosh..but im so hungry....

He gave me this piece of paper and told me to follow his diet. This list contains the food that I am allowed to eat or drink:
1. Plain water
2. Non-gassy isotonic drinks like H2O, Gatorade
3.Porridge, esp porridge water is very good
(That is wat i had for lunch! Just drank porridge water.)
3. Non-oily, soup kway teow or bee hoon
(That is what i ate for dinner - a small portion of bee hoon soup with veggies)
4. Milo without milk
5. Banana (I hate bananas!!!)

Poor me. On the bright side..i can slim down! Yay!
Doc also said if im still not feeling too good tmr..call him and he will give me another day of mc. But nah, i think i'll juz go to work. I dun want my work to pile up. Den i might fall sick again with HEADACHE! Hahaha.

Since 2 Saturdays ago...

I permed my hair!

Somehow i dun look photogenic in photos...looks nicer in life =(
I initially din like my permed hair coz i thot the curls were a little too tight...but soon i grew to like it coz it eventually turned out quite nice after the first wash =)

My colleagues say i look dolly! Yay! But permed hair is very hard to maintain. I did it for a change as i wanted to do something new to my hair. The curls prob wun last more than 3 - 4 mths? I guess I will straighten my hair back after that. It is pretty much a hassle every morning, to wash my hair and style the curls. N im alry late for work everyday. Lately, Im later than my usual late! But i still like my dolly curls...hehehe

Xmas is coming! Yippee yay yay! I like festive periods..coz it means holiday and no work! Hurhurhur....

Taka's HUGE Xmas Tree...(every year they use the SAME tree leh...albeit a pretty tree).

Anyway whenever Xmas is nearing..there is another joyous ocassion to celebrate! And that is one month before Christmas Eve. That's right! It's my birthday!

Went KTV-ing w my Baby in the afternoon of my bday. Yeah yeah we took leave...

Treated my IJ sistas to dinner at Prego's! My fave Vongole Pasta tastes superbly yummy! *Slurps* After that we went for some drinks at Glass Box at Mt. Faber. Ordered a bottle of my fave champagne Moet et Chandon! Yippee! I had a whole bottle of Moet et Chandon at Ritz Carlton during my last birthday too! N so i decided to have it every year on my birthday. Hehe.

I was initially in a very irritable mood coz i was having PMS, plus the service there was quite bad as they made me wait so long for a table. N the weather was pretty humid. So i was sulking. But after taking my first sip of my fave champagne...i was all smiles! It's so yummy! =) I also forgave the service staff as Baby told them that it was my birthday and they gave me a chocolate brownie topped with one scoop of ice-cream worth $9! It was on the house! Altho it is not strawberry....i was still happie. At least my frens could eat...Plus there was a snow fall show. But the snow looks...real FAKE. But entertaining lar. We were happily laughing at how stupid and anti-climax it looks.

Here are some wonderful presents i received!

My Baby bought me an Ipod! The 30GB one with video functions! *weet* Mine's in white! Thankiez very much Baby! *Muackz!!!*

My dear Yanling hand-made...i repeat, HAND-MADE this very pretty pendant for me! Cant realli see from the picture though. It is made up of pink n white beads forming little flowers shaped into a ball. WAH! So touched! Looks pretty difficult to make wor...her eyes must have hurt after all the squinting as each bead is pretty small. It's so so pretty! *gan dong!*

My dear Li Ying bought me this very pretty Guess Charm Necklace! The top pendant has the brand "Guess" on it and the 2nd pendant has "L'Amour Love" engraved all over. Yay! Love Love Love!

Sweet Sophia bought me a Clarins lip balm! It smells and tastes berry good! Yum Yum! She is so thoughtful coz she noes my lips sometimes can get very dry esp working in the air-conditioned office. N yeah there was this period of time when my lips was peeling so badly..and my itchy fingers just cant stop peeling the flakes away. Super disgusting till Baby said he wanna fine me $1 for every single time i peel my lips. Haha.

Pretty pink roses that my dear supplier-cum-friend sent to my office 3 days before my birthday. Katherine from DK Marketing! She is my supplier for corporate gifts and marketing collaterals. We have worked so closely together that she is like my elder sister! (She's actually 1 yr younger than my mum only, haha). So sweet of her to send me flowers.

Baby din even give me any flowers. HMPF!

Other than these presents I also received ang baos from Daddy, Mummy and Baby's Mummy!

Din take much photos except these...

Oops, Sophia went with her fiancee Kelvin to buy some stuff. So din take photos with us. Actually we took photos WHILE waiting for her. Haha.

The next day, i had dinner with Baby and my family at No Signboard Seafood restaurant at Esplanade! My fave were the Crabs and Crayfish we had that night. Superb! Two thumbs up! Love having dinner with my parents and bro n Baby. Feel so xin fu and blessed.

Special thanks to my frens who remembered my birthday and smsed/called me to send me well-wishes. Very touched and happie that you guys remembered! Esp some frens who have been remembering every year w/o fail though we hardly meet up.

*Muackz for everyone!*

My Bangkok Trip 2006 - Last Chapter

Well, It has been quite some time since i last blogged. Been really busy at work! I've became such a workaholic, working late almost every day or once every 2 -3 days. The latest I have stayed at work is till abt 10.30pm! N yeah, I was the last to leave the whole bloody big office. Today i worked till 8.30pm. Boo.

Anyway, since it has been almost 2 months since i last went to Bangkok....Kinda sian to blog about it alry. Haha. So here's a summary with some pictures!

Siam Paragon! It is tauted as "The Pride of Bangkok". It is like a mega version of Singapore's Paragon and a bit of Vivocity. Well, letz just say that most of whatever they've got at Siam Paragon, Singapore has them too. So I dunno what is so prideful about it. But i must say i do love their flagship departmental store, also called Siam Paragon. It has everything under one roof and looks more stylish, well-decorated with roomy fitting rooms and aisles! Also their basement is like a food galore! Something like Taka's basement but with more neat rows of stalls/counters selling really yummy food ranging from takopachi to assorted waffles & pancakes to noodles to thai and international cuisine. Yum!

On one of the nights, we went on board Chao Phraya Princess for a dinner cruise along Chao Phraya river! So romantic! Unfortunately it rained shortly after we went onboard the boat. So we had to move downstairs to the bottom deck that is air-conditioned. In an enclosed boat...i felt kinda sick and felt like puking. Cudnt eat much in the end so wasted $$. =( If it din rain, we wud have sat on the top open-air deck and i wudnt have felt seasick. (we've got really good seats, all thanks to Baby's connections!) Nevertheless, it was still fun and romantic! Ambience was good with candlelights and live singers. They had fireworks too!

As our hotel is conveniently located and is very near a lot of shopping centres, we tend to take one short 5 to 10 mins break in the middle of the day by gg back to our hotel to wash up and put our shopping bags down...for more shopping afterwards. Here's a pic of us horsing around and playing in our hotel room at Pathumwan Princess. Got this umbrella-twisted balloon from this cute mascot at the hotel lobby! Anyway the point is, I love being with Baby. Even during our short break from shopping, we can have so much fun together.

We went clubbing at CM2! It is located at Novetel Siam Square hotel. The club is a hit with many tourists esp ang mohs. Quite a bit of Thai girls there to ...specially to pick up ang mohs! These thai girls are young adults betw 20-30 yrs old. Some look like students! They must have saved quite a bit coz the cover charge is not that cheap as compared to other clubs. Guess they are there to have one-night stands or to hook up a rich ang moh bf? Anyway, it is definitely not a sleazy club. It is something like Thumper, but it is super big! With a main arena, a R&B room, wine corner, a stage and quite a few pool tables. There is a ang moh live band playing too and they are realli good! Way better than those in S'pore. They do not only sing...they dance too! It is like watching some black eyed peas concert...very entertaining. Clubbing there is realli fun fun fun! After clubbing there, i dun think clubbing in S'pore is that fun anymore.

The before and after pic of our couch at the end of our 2nd last day in Bangkok, where we dump all our shopping bags. Actually..there are more on the table. But i dun wanna look too kua zhang. Haha!

Having breakfast at the hotel on the last day. I felt super sian that we have to go back to S'pore alry. *bleugh* 6 days just flew by so quickly.

One thing we did not have the chance to do at Bkk...MASSAGE! Shucks! No time at all. All day..all we do is shop and shop, and eat and club. Haha. But guess what we found when we arrived at Changi airport?? Yep! OTO foot massage machines! Wah! Heavenly! My super tired and sore feet realli felt GOOOOD! A 5 mins massage on that machine realli did wonders!

End of story! All in all, a super fun trip with Baby! Yay! Where shall we go next year? Hehehe..must start saving!
