If you're familiar, it is off Tanah Merah Road. (yes, very near home!)

We headed there, a group of 14 of us, as part of the Public Service Week Learning Journeys. Chartered a bus and made our long and windy road down east.
At least, I was not complaining cos the journey there saves me the trip home later.

The whole tour lasted from 2.45 pm - 5pm odd. Analyn and I played with cameras in between. Heh


The most classic conversation of the week.

Analyn: A mosquito bit me...
Gina: What's new?
Analyn: ........through my pants.
Gina: HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA WhatthehellAnalyn???!
Analyn: Reallly! How else would it have reached so high? I am wearing pants.
Gina: Maaaaaaaaybe it just happened that the mosquito was resting on your leg when you wore your pants and since it was stuck, it just had to bite.
Analyn. Whatever.
Gina: HAHAHAHAHAHAH. Through your pants! I'm still amused!

More pictures on NEWater soon, depending on how quickly Analyn and Pauline uploads them.

Will post them soon.

Took a photo of the TV in the room using the sketch mode, while watching Channelnewsasia.
I was lying on the bed, the TV and curtain opposite. The toilet is on the right.

Just in case, you somehow lack the Van Gogh cells and can't make anything out from the sketch. Haha

Doesn't it look like its drawn by a real person?

Met up with Diana after work this evening and we hit town since it was the first day of GSS!

Boy, was it crowded.

People were e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. In every seam of the wall and crack of the glass you see a person holding shopping bags. BAGS. plural.

Well, I guess there is more than 1 reason I can think of. And that one reason is that THE SALE IS REALLY GOOD!

We settled dinner at CoffeeClub and I ended the evening with 4 bras, 1 undies, 2 tank tops, 1 pair of pumps, 1 trench top. <- This is hugely gorgeous.

The pumps were at 70%, so it came mighty cheap! I was so pleased with myself. -beams-

However, the high of the night was not the purchases that I towed back from Orchard.
In fact, it was a simple sms from a very dear friend. A message this simple yet very sweet made me smile for that second.

For the next 3 seconds, I was dying to see you too.

And for the longest time ever, I missed you too Cheryl Leong! :)

It's already Friday in a coupla hours? Wow, that's fast.

Boyfriend stayed up to watch soccer at an ungodly hour of 2.30am this morning. And since it had many extra time and penalties, by the time he got home was 6am. Crikey!

And it didn't help that the lack of sleep made it difficult to drive to work this morning. I had to help check the spots and then there was irritation over slow Thursday morning drivers.

Also, we gave Indiana a miss, and headed back after work for dinner to catch up on lost sleep.

On hindside, this also means we can catch the blockbuster this weekend instead. I was just thinking we might miss Saturday movie since there are no more great flicks other than Harrison and his Crystal Skull.

Haha.

Now that he's asleep, an evil thought is running through my mind. -smirks-

In this regard, I am considering banning all late night and wee-hour morning soccer matches in my future house next time.

All those in favour, say Aye.

(I hear you!)

OH YA, David Cook won American Idol. Just in case you're interested!

CONGRATS ALLY!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be seeing another baby niece/nephew in 9 months!

Y'see, Mel called me yesterday for reviews on the movie, and since I was only going to catch it, I couldn't really give any feedback.
Had to go with my gut feel, hope you weren't disappointed. :)

Anyways, I'm giving the movie 2.5 popcorns over 5.

It's not a bad movie, though very similar to a male version of My Best Friend's Wedding, not sure if anyone thought the same.

Except that Julia Roberts' role is now taken by Patrick Dempsey.
All in all, it's a fun movie, but again like Boyfriend say, I'm such a sucker for chick flicks and rom coms.

Whatttttt.

But on a honest note, if you compare this to What Happens in Vegas, I'll pick Kutcher over Dempsey.

Yea, the fun boyish type works better for me. Dempsey is too prince-like. (Note, he was also in Enchanted, but not as the prince. I wonder why)

Dinner was at Taka and afterwhich, we got a polo tee from Ralph Lauren and we were off to catch the movie. Oh yah, we bumped into Yuh Tze and her boyfriend in town too. Coincidence!

Sunday

Mum came waking me up at an ungodly hour of 10am. Have I mentioned I slept only at 3am the night before?

I was so grouchy, cos it was 10AM IN THE MORNING, and we were going for lunch at Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel, reservation was for noon.
Not good.
In the end, I went back to sleep so lunch became high tea, and GMR became Goodwood Park Hotel.

Hahaha.

So 5 of us trotted down to town and we had some pretty mean timsum and high tea. I guessed it was good cos by 3pm (no thanks to me, hee), we were pretty hungry, so anything goes! :)

Left by 4.30pm and we went shopping. Tangs was first up! I suddenly realised how long have I not been to Tangs. Last time was when they launched Benefit cosmetics and that's it.

Tangs was followed by Paragon and I left shortly after to meet Boyfriend. Managed to get some lingerie and 2 cardigans from Cotton On Body.
Headed back to East where we hit the regional library for my books to start on KOL project and then to Changi Airport for dinner.

You probably think we are going airport too often. Hahah, but Popeye is so damn good.
But GUESS WHAT!
The queue was so looooooooooooong and there were no seats, so we had to give it a miss.
Still, dinner was not overly sinful and we managed to save some calories on what we would have potentially ordered at Popeye's.

It's now past midnight, so Happy Vesak day to anyone who celebrates it.

The bags were all on 50% sale! Woohoo!

How often do you find bags that you really like AND on 50% discount?

First one's a clutch! For days withou classes. :)

And the second one, a little more roomy. The dumpling shape is gorgeous!

Also today, we celebrate Public Service Week!

We gave out lotsa badges like these... They were so colourful and pretty, people were asking for more!

Since there were some left after the ceremony, Joanne gave me 3 more. I gave one to Boyfriend. haha, so cute.

Check out the badge with white background. The heartshape is actually made up of 2 thumb print!

Okay, tomorrow is Saturday. Long weekend ahead.

Enjoy everyone!

Happy! :)

Gina :)

Thinking of getting a new laptop. 2k. Should I?

And why is that after Mariah Carey became Mrs Cannon, that I find her utterly utterly gorgeous? Is it just me or does everyone feels this way? (I suspect it's the former)

I always find married women especially beautiful, like instantly! (even though I used to think MC looked like a whale). If marriage does that sorta wonders, give me a ring now!
