世上没有丑女人, 只有懒女人...

Cool Creamie...

Notti Nugget


Nugget watching *Marley & Me* together with me...
He was totally fascinated with Marley!

Stormy nite.... scary... havent rained for a long time... at least not so heavy lah!
Linda commented that the "Wind is changing!" Finally some cool weather! YAY!

Anyway, I think this may probably be Nugget's 1st real stormy nite... after 1 rather loud thunder roar, he hopped into "bed" comfortably & snuggled up to Creamie who was already sleeping inside... Creamie opened her eyes & looked at Nugget, she didnt mind at all the warmth & slowly drifted bk to sleep...

Awwww.....

LEO WOMAN Rocks man!

Havent been feeling very pleased with myself for the past week....

Work was not too smooth going... but at this point of blogging, i am happy to announce that I was finally right abt the market... & very right... could have made a killing, make back all that I have lost in my trading account for the past 2 weeks... but that's on the hind sight of course! Nevertheless, still very happy that the trading strategy learnt works! Rocks!

So feeling much better after switching on the computer this morning to "check", out of "curiosity"... YAY! Ok, next week's trading plan is to maintain the +ve momentum n vibe!

I made a list of TO DOs:
1) THOU SHALL ONLY TRADE WHEN CONFIDENT!
If the trade is not good enough, abort the plan. Select the most potential currency pair only. Think: If I can only do 1 trade a day - which should it be! Must not feel the "Need" to trade just becos I woke up at 6.15am?! No oppty, sit tight & relac! Be more cautious on Monday (opening) & Friday (closing).

2) THOU SHALL HAVE PROFITABLE MENTALITY!
Each trade must be meant for Profit, not testing of strategy!
In this order: Perserve Capital, Minimise Loss, Max Profit - Be contented & Dun look back!

3) THOU SHALL HAVE ONLY +VE VIBE WHEN TRADING!
+ve Vibe! Stay confident! Be happy waking up at 6.15am! Be happy to look forward to my training after trading! Be nice to pple around me! Be happy I have Creamie & Nugget to support me at home! Shooo out all -ve energy! Practise Ommmmm..... Nirvana!

The above is for trading... so done! Must carry out my plan!
----------------

Another thing not pleased with myself... it has been 1 week 6 days... since we last talked... feeling rather heartpain... all the advice from my friend: A girl has got to do what she has gota do! Even if it means losing a Great pal! Give him more time!

Argh..... how much more time! When I see the status on MSN, I have an urge to say "hello" but I stopped myself each time... worse: I have to stop myself so many times a day that it's becoming tiring... should I just delete his name in my list? but.... but... argh... too painful...

--------------

I have fallen again... damn... cant help but feel XYZ abt this feeling... at first it was sweet..... then it became a guessing game, then dreadful.... eventually it will become unbearable.... argh.... the 一厢情愿 feeling...

So I have been told that I fall too easily for the devil's trap... thank goodness for honest & trustworthy friends who are not afraid to tell me in my face :"Soya, he's just not that into you... move on girl, c'mon! There's plentiful out there!"
I need this reminders so much... so that I will not fall & become 片体鳞伤
(ok, at this point, in case you are wondering why I suddenly got the "feeling" to include all these Che-na words... ok - I googled them yah...can better express my feelings now).

For now, the plan is to stay cool... sit back & observe.... one thing for sure, even if I desperately want a date with him, a girl CANNOT look too desperate! Must sit down & plan...
Failure to plan is the plan to fail!

So after much consideration & lotsa brain storming, I decided to take this all in the most professional & reliable approach...

1st: http://www.google.com/ (must seek my best friend's opinion!)
2nd: Key word : "aquarius man" (Hit it baby!)




3rd: Viola! Do ur research gal! (shortlist those IMPT info only!)

ok ok... this is planning, decently professional... but reliable? I duno.... Let's see....

Extract: How to attract an Aquarius man

1. Gain the firm friendship of an Aquarius man (Done!) before contemplating a romantic relationship with him. Aquarians make friends very easily (Too easily! Haiz..) and because of this have many friends usually from varied backgrounds, cultures and ethnic groups. You will need to accept his friends, even the strange and weird ones, if you are to have a relationship with an Aquarian man (Do they include weird n supa hairy ones with unbearable BO?! Oh noo!!).

2. Wear something in the colour turquoise (WTF! Turquoise?!) to attract an Aquarius man. The colour turquoise is a mix of the creative expression of the colour green and the rational thought of the colour blue. And this mix explains the personality traits of an Aquarian man and is thus very appealing to them. They are mysteriously drawn to this colour and will be intrigued by you and want to know what you have to say. (Quick! I need to buy a Turquoise top Now! NOW!)

3. The power of imagination and dreams are important to Aquarians. They are unconventional dreamers with very vivid imaginations. Intrigue them and stimulate their imagination by explaining an unusual dream you had, featuring them hopefully (Cant tell him I dreamt of me in his strong & almighty arms last nite can I?! Else he get the wrong idea how!?!) . They'll love to analyse both you and the dream and be flattered that you were dreaming of them. They will come up with many fanciful ideas to explain it to you (Maybe he will tell that he had the vice versa dream too?! Wuahaha! Soya! u've gota stop dreaming!) .

4. Aquarian men are very curious creatures themselves and are curious about everything and everyone. Stimulate their enquiring and explorative mind by suggesting dates at a science museum, modern art gallery (Done on our "first date"!) or unconventional and experimental music concert, and you'll have then hooked on you (Boh leh! I was hooked on him instead! Damn!) .

5. You will need to connect with the mind of an Aquarian and expect lots of intelligent conversations on a wide range of subjects. Be as well read and knowledgeable about his particular interests as you can be. He will appreciate that (Considered Done! I am SMarty Pantz Soya leh! YAY!) .

6. Aquarian men are not renowned for their displays of emotions so don't expect them to express their feelings to you. They also cannot deal with the emotions of others. They can appear quite distant with their head in the clouds, so if you are the kind of woman (or man) who needs lots of love and affection and desire to express your feelings, you may have difficulties with a relationship with an Aquarius man. Aquarians are free spirited, independent and freedom loving and you'll find if difficult, if not impossible, to get them commit to you (Piang! Damn true lah! I was tormented by the last Aquarius I date for 2 years on & off! Shito! How can I forget that!)

7. An attraction Spell, either cast by you or by a professional Spell caster or Witch will help to attract an Aquarius man. If it is written in the stars that your destiny is to be with an Aquarius man, than you might try to help destiny along a little. Real Magic uses mysterious, subtle yet tried and tested methods to attract a lover. And even if you are a little sceptical, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain (Piang, Need the Stars help ah?! Bo bian liao! Starry Stella counted or not?! Kekek! ) .
--------------

Alright, enough research done... now all is in the plan - time to execute it!

Wait for my further updates bah! Heeeah Heeah Heeeah! Aston-Power-Evil-Laugh...

Phew... feeling better after letting the Devil in me out... I shall devour this man....

I am LEO WOMAN - HEAR ME ROAR! ROOAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!

My Cookies got Sun burnt! Bleah...

Since last wk, I have been wanting to try out the Earl Grey Cookie recipe I saw on the “Simply Her” magazine! Esp after trying the Yummy Earl Grey tea Cake that Starry painstakingly went all the way out to buy for my birthday!


Recipe looks quite easy, basically I have everything I need at home liao! I love this feeling, I can bake anything I wan & any time that I feel like it!! Most of the time I still have to get 1 or 2 ingredients lah, but this recipe, I have everything liao!
So after getting ready, I set to do it!


But alas!!! It’s easier said than done!

1st batch: My cookies ended up sticking together cos the space between each is not enough & the cookie dough too much. After expansion, it looked like a Jigsaw Puzzle, cos can break the sides easily. Plus, the temperature n fan control of this oven is not the optimal. The inner ones ended up abit more burnt!

1st Batch

2nd batch: Left more space, but still…. The heat distribution not too gd… ended quite burnt too…..

2nd Batch
3rd batch: Left even more space, better cos at least they look round! But still a bit burnt.

From Left to Right: 3rd , 2nd, 1st Batch
(Dun ask me why they got smaller...
cant change the size of my oven,
so bo bian changed the cookie size lor... =P)
Closed up view,OPERATIONS Earl Grey Cookie!
Conclusion: My cookies will end up looking like me – Sun burnt! Chao Dah Bin Gan!
Anyway, not very yummy…. Cant really taste the Earl Grey tea… more of the slight salty taste (like in digestive biscuits) & the burnt taste… bleah… the last time I made cookies (which was also the 1st time) was like 2 X’mas ago… then it was Peanut-Butter- Chocolate-Chip-Cookies! WOooooahhhha! Sinful stuff!
The picture in the recipe book looks like the colour is lighter in colour… I have enough ingredients at home, mayb I shd attempt again while the memory is fresh… but who’s gona eat all the cookie?! Argh!

How it shd look like instead! Bleah!
(Must be the photography skills!)
Made a sandwich for myself… yummy! Salmon “sandwich” bursting at the seams…
More like Salmon Burger! YUM!

Nugget at play… gave him the empty tissue box & he dug his head in, got stuck for a while! Was walking ard the house with his head in the box!
SO funny!! I finally relieve him of his stress by pulling his head out! Kekek! So Cute!

I'm a "要不得" 的 "大孩子!"

Really 要不得... shame on me...

Here I am, trying to make a living working from home... work is still not generating income...
everyday, it's just me & Lappy WangWang... what can a Single mum of 2 kitties do when she is bored?

Surf for informative ways to make more money, buy more kitty kibbles & better use her time! Instead, she surfed the net for these.... really 要不得. But.... but... they are vices wat! Not "MUSTs"... they are "WANTs"...

Cant a girl day dream?! Just dream only lah! Even got the money also put to better use! Kekeke!





----------------
Cant help but I feel like a 大孩子 sometimes... gave Garren the Waveboard... trying to master it also... but alas.... Cannt make it lah, can only "Wave" my buttocks a few times & make it to travel abt 10metres before falling off!

Actualy tot of buying a Waveboard myself.... it's quite fun! Always like the Skateboarding, rollerblading feeling! Kekek!

My Little Cousin, Ming, is all Grown up!

Went for Cousin May's chalet last nite... had to dropped by the NTUC Downtown East to get some drinks... her sister, my darling little cousin, Ming, is working there part time while studying in Poly.

It's hard for me to imagine her working actually... she will always be our darling girl.... for several reasons:
1) she is the youngest amongst us cousins,
2) she is 12yrs (1 chinese horoscope cycle) younger than me & Cousin May(who is only 3mths younger than me),
3) she is always such a darling, sweet, innocent, loveable,
4) her mother, my auntie Sammi, is my fav auntie. I looked to her like a mother, I am closer to her than I am to any of my relatives.... including my immediate family...I had vowed to her before she left us to Heaven, that I will look after her family (cousin May & Ming)...

For these reasons & many more that I cant recall now... I find myself lost in this transition period of Ming's life! I attended this chalet more so I can meet her bf (yeah, her 1st official BF at 17yrs old).

I have missed out so much in her life.... we celebrated her beautiful "o"levels results in Mar this yr, but missed out giving her advice on course selection... I missed out on her 1st holiday job at the NATAs fair (giving travel pamphlets)...

Today, when I saw her in that NTUC part timer apron... standing behind the counter... I observed her from behind the counters.... her speed of passing the items thru the scanner.... collecting payment from customers.... even sharing a conversation with some of them.....

Secret shot!
Ops! She saw me!

I realised something... I was doing what my father did when I had my holiday jobs...

My papa had hid behind the walls watching me from afar when I was working in my 1st Job Burger King, he visited me numerous times (most of the time without me noticing him) at my other jobs... bot me Liang Teh when I was doing roadshows selling cars under extreme weathers....That's my papa, so subtle always in his manner of loving me...
I love Ming alot... she is like a little sister or even like my child... I used to carry her in a baby carrier to Orchard when I was in Lower sec (she was then a baby of cos)! Maybe I will become like my Papa... secretly watching her grow up... making her mark in this society...
-----------
Anyway, today my training with Ellen was quite punishing! ECP run was planned to be 1h40mins... 1 word... SHAG... Sun was not forgiving like last wk... most part we were Fried & struggling to finish the distance...
Plus, both of us were aching like crazy all over....she due to the Leg Strengthening exercise we did on Friday... me due to that & a 60km cycling yesterday with Alex (did the route passing by Tamp Ave 7 & Loyang Ave - which killed me)! I could hardly feel my buttocks... no-correction , my buttocks hurt like HELL! argh!
Anyway, we completed the training & rewarded ourselves with Teo Chew Muay! I have been craving for it for 3 weeks now! I need some GOOD Teo Chew Muay! Show the TeoChew Ah Nuay some Traditional dishes man!
We went to this kopitaim at Bedok Reservoir rd(next to Telok Kurau Primary sch) blk 704...
the kopitiam's name: SEE BEH HO!
Wooohooo! Teo Chew Muay! Here I come! We ordered non stop! 3 of us, point at this, point at that! Tell Uncle we want this & that.... The Uncles were scooping the food non stop! Hahah!
Then I suddenly recalled this thing & ask 1 of the Uncle:
"Erm....ermm.... Uncle, 会不会太多hah?!
The uncle went: " Errmmmm....emmm.... 还好啦!
(he had this grin in his face that tells me he thinks we are too glutton! But who cares! We were famished!!!)
So... is it too much for 3 persons?!
Supa satisfied with the Lunch! YUMMY!!!
Went to Suntec City for a walk... had fun shopping at Carrefour looking at the bicycles & shopping for Alex's "start of school" stationary...
We had to make so decisions on what to do next & so we took the whole of THREeeee minutes to decide on to watch a movie & bought tickets within the next 2 minutes... some kind of a decision making huh! Hahah! *My Sister's Keeper*
I knew I was in big trouble to catch this movie... I double triple checked : Tissue paper -Checked!

*MY SISTER's KEEPER*
Within my expectations... I started to weep more than several times during the movie... couldnt help it...very hard to tahan when the scene keeps coming & making me wanna cry like a baby...
Oh, anyway Alex confessed he cried too k! So I am so NOT a cry baby!!! Bleah!!
Actually, I am a cry baby... sobsob...
