Its Been A Long Time

Wow... Finally an update! Haha... Well, lots of things have happened since the last time I updated. Let's start with what I can remember in order...

Aug 31

The girls and I went to Cineleisure for an afternoon of fun. This time, with Jojo! Haha... She sprained her leg and walked even more like the Ah Ma that she already is! Joking... Anyway, there was the Avril Lavigne auditon thing there and we had lotsa fun watching them try out. That's just about all I can remember!

Sept 8

The day I went back on my off day. I had a leisurely ride home, took a nap, then went out with Ruyi for a Kox session. Had plenty of fun, singing the new songs that they had. Stop and Stare was one of my favourites to sing! Stayed there until about 12.30 then went home to plop into bed feeling very ''fulfilled'' :)

Sept 11

Went out with Ruyi again, but this time, with her dad's car! Her dad was overseas and she just passsed her licence so we went for a drive. She picked me up at Jurong East, we went West Coast Mac, headed to Queensway Shopping Centre then Ikea, then picked my mum up at Jurong East so that we could go watch a movie at Jurong Point. We nearly knocked a cyclist at Queensway and got quite a few horns! Haha... Its so fun to have a car all to yourself! :)

Uncle's visit

My 'Sa-gu' came in from Perth for a week and we had an awesome time! We went Sentosa, Queensway and a bunch of other places. He also stayed over at my house and we had plenty of good chats. I wanted to take off on his last day but couldn't. :( And I got a bit teary when I called him up to say goodbye! But I'm sooo looking forward to going on vacation with him and my family at the end of the year!

I also went out with best friend May Ann on Sept 21. We went to Marina Square, ate and walked around. We saw the stuff set up for the F1 race and it looks awesome! Always a nice and pleasant time with her!

I went to Lot 1 today to watch a movie ''My Best Friend's Girl''. Its not very nice. A good director can really make a difference. After that, since Lot 1 has a lot of places that sell cute-sy stuff, I saw something that, for those who know me, very strangely caught my eye... a purple care bear! I already have one, but this one was a light purple and... I thought my other care bear needed a partner! Ah... So girly! HAHA...

I haven't read as much as I'd like to recently. I haven't drawn for the longest time. And I so miss just slacking! Haha... But its ok! :)

I'm Still Here

If I take public transport, I reach home close to 7. I eat dinner, take a shower, then all I wanna do is rest. And on my off days I'm usually not at home. I think partly why I'm lazy to turn on my computer to do all the internet stuff is mainly cos I'm not using my normal internet. My damn router is spoiled so now the only way I can use the internet is by my hubstation connection. Which is real slow. And if I wanna go Youtube or upload videos or anything, it takes a long time. So that's why the lack of updates...

Due to ''complains'' that I've been receiving from my friends and cousins, I will try to update my blog more often! Haha...

Something kinda funny and stupid happened on Mon. I woke up at my usual time, got ready, got in my Dad's cab, sent my sis off to school, went to eat breakfast, dropped off at work. So I strolled into work thinking it was gonna be just another day. I walked in the locker room and my colleague was like: ''Kelyn! You working today meh?''

I went to go check my schedule and... I was off on Monday! And Tuesday! I went a bit hysterical cos I wasted my time going to bed early and waking up early... So after I ''recovered'', I strolled out of work. Thought of going to see some of the animals, but it was still pretty early and they weren't really out yet. So I took the bus home. Lucky I wasn't in a rush cos there was a big huge jam that cost me about 20 min! I like taking the bus when I'm not in a rush, esp at like 10+ and 2+ cos there's not much people. Got home, read a lil, slept a lil and lazed around until I went Kbox with Ruyi later in the day. I've been having mostly 1 day off and not 2, so I told myself the next time I have 2 days off, I'm going Kbox so I don't stress my voice out cos, ya know, I use it for work. HA.

Ok, I'm so ready to go to bed right now! I just uploaded some pics to my com so I'll load it the next time!

Take care ya'll! :)

Hum-De Yah!

Just about 10 notes make up the Discovery Channel's ''The World Is Just Awesome'' song. If you haven't heard it, try to go find it cos its a very cheery song and you can totally add in your own lyrics to make the song yours! I've done my version of it and I love it! Hum-De Yah!

I've been quite fortunate to have a ''work-one-day'', ''off-one-day''... work wek. Last week I worked Mon - Wed, off Thurs, work Fri, off Sat, work Sun, off Mon. Hee! And things have been going just great at work. I'm learning more about my job and my colleagues and they're really starting to grow on me. I've been a bit narrow-minded about things lately and that hasn't been very good at all. From now on, gonna keep an open mind and make things better! :) I spent Sunday half by myself and half with Karm and of course, it was fun with her around! Had lotsa laughs with her and the keepers and thoroughly enjoyed myself! Hum-De Yah!

Off day today and spent it with... mum of course! Some people might find it weird that I spend so much time with my mum, but she's really fun and why not? I get sponsored for stuff too! HAHA... Also, if you're that comfortable with someone, why not spend a lot of your time with them? Hee... We went to Orchard Cine today. Watched a R21 show called Pathology which stars Milo Ventimiglia from Heroes. Its quite a lot of nudity and definitely the most blood I've seen in a single movie. And not that unnecessary blood splatter in gore movies, but since its about a bunch of pathologists (those people that perform autposies), its all about blood coming out when you cut up a body. Its hard to describe, but I like the way it was done. And how the actors can truly act so casual about it all. You certainly gotta have an open mind when you watch it, and preferably and empty stomach! But, we had lunch at Chicago Steakhouse before that and a pleasant lunch it was. Cool music and not too bad looking waiters! We even got a free coffee on-the-house because we were ''very nice and patient customers''! After the movie, went to HMV and bought Jason Mraz DVD, Queen DVD and a Prince Caspian making-the-movie book. Pleasant off day... of course! :)

HUM-DE YAH!

What Matters Most

If you're having a crap day at work, you just gotta keep in mind of what matters most to you. Family and friends and happiness are what's important to me (also I'm working on me a lil bit). And on my off days I spend time with both and they help me re-focus! :)

On Sunday, I went out with the girls that include my poly peeps: Kal, En and Shereen. The 2 small ones didn't join us, but we had a blast anyway! We met up at City Hall, walked to Marina Square, ate at Swensen's, watched a movie (Journey To The Centre of the Earth again) and walked around. I bought a pair of ked-like shoes and a book that's titled ''Don't Go To Work On Modays''. Perfect! (Well, the reason being that a lot of people get heart attacks and die on Mondays) Its this book full of fun and interesting facts... Then we just hung out a lil more, bumped into some of our GV seniors and went home. Although I did have to go to work the next day, that Sunday really helped me keep in check of what's important in life. :)

Of course, we took some goofy pics and had some laughs...

Mum struck 1st prize on Wed and when we went out on Thurs, I finally got a new phone! Finally done with the N80 that keeps hanging and giving me all sorts of problems! I got a Samsung Soul, and here it is...

Btw, I've decided to name my camera Violet... HA.

Overdue Post

Singfest

Singfest was a blast! Had fun with my sis and her friends and remember that famous person? I got to meet One Republic! My sis' friend won some Levis thing to meet them and he didn't want to go cos he wasn't a fan and my sis suggested me! So I got to the waiting point at 6.30 and only got in their tent at around 7. We went in, shook their hands, I gave one band memnber a hug cos he saw my ''hugs not drugs'' shirt, the lead singer wasn't that nice, and it was all over in 30 seconds! I'm not exaggerating! We left earlier during Alicia Keys to beat the crowd and only got home close to 1. I had to work the next day... So altogether quite fun and Jason Mraz was the best one! Hope to go to next year's one! :)

The wrist band and tag that I have to wear

During Jamie Scott. He wasn't that fantastic...

The Past Week

As I said in my previous post, there are some interesting things that happened. I was asked to do the other token trail and learn the elephant show! A show! Geez, hopefully I'll be able to learn it in time... :)

Alright, there are some nice things that happened the past week though. It was a rather good week spent largely with Karmilah. She's so relaxed and fun! Anyway, here are some work pictures...

Me trying to immitate the polar bear picture. I know, pretty similar huh? Polar bears are cute! Except when they're killing stuff...

And this is Adeline. Real fun girl to hang out with. I have lotsa fun with her and Karmilah... :)

August 9
It was one of the most fun national days I had. Woke up at around 9.30, mum and I wanted to go to breakfast at Swensen's but that would mean that we'd have to rush, so we skipped it and took our time to get ready. We took a cab to Great World City, bought tickets to The Love Guru, then went to have lunch at Kenny Rogers, walked around, bought lotsa stuff, then after the movie (which wasn't as good as I thought it'd be) we walked around some more, bought some groceries, had dinner then went home. It was a very fruitful day and we certainly splurged our paychecks! :) So here's what we bought....

All the crazy stuff we bought! I bought Queen, Beatle and Jason Mraz. Mum bought Jazz, Blues and French! Haha... We bought a mug and Nike sports bra for sis. I also bought a plate and owl, and the most interesting thing... An Olympus camera! And its purple!!! It was so unexpected and I needed a new camera anyway! My mum payed first then I'll be paying her back over the next few months... Haha... Mum rocks!

And these are the little tidbits we bought. Most of which is cos we didn't see them before and the packaging was real nice! Hahar... :)

No Worries..

Long time no update... The next time I do it'll be a major one!

Singfest was awesome! Jason Mraz was my favourite... And I got to ''meet and greet'' one famous band... Can anyone guess who? Hee... Will update with pictures next time...

Work... a few interesting things hav been happening. I also have some new pictures from work! Also, I have the weekend off... YIPPEE! Do you know how rare that is in the zoo??? Especially when it is National Day too??? Haha...

I do hope that everyone else is well... I have phlegm and cough and almost everyone at work is sick... urgh. Take care! :)

Sunday off...

Finally, a Sunday off! YAY! Next Sunday i'm off too cos i'm going to Singfest! One Republic, Jason Mraz and Pussycat Dolls, here I come!

Was supposed to meet the 4/5 gang on Friday night, but was a bit sick. Then had to work on Saturday, so had to go home and rest. Urgh... Then on Saturday, I basically had to work the whole day with a sore throat. On some feedings, I had to shout, and my throat was so itchy! I even coughed during my polar bears! But, managed to make it through. Gotta say thanks to this new girl who helped me carry my bag when I was feeling weak.. thanks! Yup, there are new people again. I think only 1 of 2 will be able to survive. Well, at least I proved to myself that I can stay! Recently I took a new punch card too. Who knew I would be taking my 3rd one? Haha...

On Friday, I bumped into my cousin-in-law Wendy at White Tigers. I haven't seen her in so long and I had to take a second look to be sure! She was there as a parent volunteer with her son, my nephew, Glenn. No luck in finding him... So we had a nice chat and took some pictures! So finally ya'll can see me in my full uniform!

My sis and her boyfriend are taking this cooking class now. It's real expensive, $200 per class, but its a small class and the tools that they proide are real cool. So each week i'll get a sample of what they've learnt. This week, its some chocolate pastry along with jelly. YUM! :)

So I'm updating as I watch Monster House. Absolutely cute show. One of the main characters is called Chowder and the chinese subtitle for his name says ''ai chi gui'' as in ''love to eat ghost''! Funny...

Woke up at 8.20 today, ate, played Sims and now I have to go prepare for another day of work. Off days are just too short man...
