Monsterous HairDo + Wake Up call!

This morning when I woke up....

Scare-d the

BLOODY HELL OUTA ME!

*Pardon my dazed looks - it's the 6.30am look lah!

Tahan 1.5 mths see how it goes! wuahah!

----

Anyway, TGIF!

Worked abit, suddenly very motivated to work! I guess last nite's FX Trading Psychology workshop did hyped me up & finally met my "colleague", NickB, put a face to his name! *Faint!* He even tot I was a guy! SOYA NG?! How can that be a Guy's name!? I emailed him & tell him that if I am guy.... the moment I can read n understand 黄小豆, I will kill myself lah! Ok, a guy with 黄小豆 name is just weird, very weird! Wuahah!

Anyway, he did update me abt the mkt along the way when i left the hse already to meet Starry. My positions are safe so no worries & can relax enjoy myself.

Finally bot the sandals from Charles&Keith... Starry "complained" to Alex that she had checked out the sandals many times with me liao, not counting the times that I checked them out on my own...Bleah!

Anyway, we all went to Outram to have some prata for dinner, then to a KTV lounge called *RED DOT* had to wait to long for our table's turn to sing till I can rattle off the songs that we did managed to sing lah!

 Alex's energy was a little low for the nite, either he's tired from Muay thai training or he's bored (cos he kept smsing till it pissed me totally) bleah.

We killed the waiting time by playing some Pool...

which I really suck in! faint!

Anyway, though he is not camera shy, he specially requested that no Bday song etc...hmm...

So no Bday song lor!

Just made e wish....

& STAB the cake!?

*So notti lah!

As usual, I always end

up the one who's cutting the cake...

duno y, but I kinda like it actually, maybe cos I wun know wat to do while the person is cutting the cake... u know, like u are waiting to have a share of the cut.... it's awkward waiting...

We hanged ard till abt 2+am & by the time I got home & washed up, it was ard 3am...

-----

Funny I din feel tired at all... mayb I had too much on my mind!

Let's just put it plainly that even Starry was over-carefully tactful told me that after she met Alex n know him abit better, that I shd spend more time looking elsewhere & at some other pple!! Of cos that's someting I already know from Cherating... actually I shd feel sad or dejected... but somehow I am ok... the immediate concern to make a living is more impt than anything at this moment... at this point, I think I just surprised myself too... mayb the sadness will sink in later, but at this moment, i feel decent.

*爱情n面包*

Bread (面包)is more impt... Love (爱情) is only additional...

I can do with Plain Bread, I have alwis done well with just that anyway...

So what next?! Work hard & keep my eyes pried open BIG! Wuahah!

So I spent the next 1+hr lying tummy flat in bed, writing furiously (YES! FURIOUSLY! cos I realised I used a lot of strength & wrote with thunder lighting speed) the list of "TO DO/ACHIEVE"!

Fell asleep feeling very gd abt it! =D

Jade Liu 刘力扬 wannabe!

I permed my hair today...

yes, P-E-R-M-E-D! PERMED!

Been comtemplating if I shd cut or keep abit longer.... but Jul's event is still a long way to go... so i figured, i still have time to keep bitz longer for the dramatic effect!

Anyway, googled n baidu-ed some 刘力扬 Jade Liu's photo online...
chanced upon these that I likey... but my hair abit too short n flat to create the wavey effect leh...

For now it's like this...

vs Like this...

Sirlina said mayb 1-2 mths can become like this...

WOW! So niceee!

Short, but Feminine & stylo!

Certain angle looks abit like lah!

But hair must grow longer!

Some comic relieve....

Jade Liu's fans pls dun bash me up hor!

With the new haircut, I kinda gate crash into Starry's her KAPLAN mates' celebration for Vincent's bday celebration! They are nice down to earth pple to get along with!

This group esp enjoy cam-whoring! *FAINT!*

BornDay boy!

The newlyweds!

The Ladies!

Enjoyed their company lotsa, very easy to get along with them!

Looking fwd to catch up with them more often!

Caught the Express Bus 518 back from Dhoby Ghaut stn bustop & OMG! For the 1st time, it was really express! 1st, I was lucky to have only waited 6mins for the next bus, then when it came promptly, it was rather empty! Surprisingly! Mayb cos it's a Thursday n tmr's still a work day, Plus it was already 1130H! Then it only took like 35mins to reach my place - since less pple get off the bus!

YAY! Quicky washed up & rested!

Workstation envy...

Recently have been in close contact with my "colleague" Rick.
Well, since he is based in Melbourne, AUS, we cant meet up for kopi or anything.

Hav been learning from him... new methods... new system... it's like distance learning! Wau, not easy lah!

Esp when u are looking at charts like these...

hard to explain things... thank goodness for MSN!

Starry said OMG! when I showed her.... she asked if I look at this everyday.. I corrected her & said I look at THESE everyday.... 1 currency has abt 4 such charts, 8 currency = 32 charts... + other method (8 more charts).... + indices + global + commodities charts.... easily abt <50 charts?! Of cos some is just glance lah!

My trainer alwis joke that Trading is an ART, never a SCIENCE....

Artists, musicians etc do well in Trading - cos "they see what is on the chart...go by psychology & feeling, gut feel & enter to trade fast!".

Engineers, accountants etc make up the minority of the successful ones, cos "they will see what they want to see, do lotsa calculations etc.... then miss the boat liao!"

Anyway, Rick sent me these photos of his workstation at home... his house is now 2 times of his flat in Singapore n of cos, garden aside!

So envious lah!

The 1st qn I had for him:

"GOsh.... how many sticky tape dispenser do u need siah!?!"

His reply:

"Piang, of all the things in the room, u only noticed THAT!?"

Mine:

"I'm a Woman, I go for the Details! Wuahaha!"

Btw, his monitors are size 26", the old TV in my room is only 21" and the TV that the whole family watches is only 25"! So damn envious lah!

Now I am embarrassed to show him my workstation... but I'll show u! Wuahaha!

It's just me and 旺旺... for now...

Actually, I think i only hope to upgrade to a 32" LCD TV,

then I can plug my lappy to it for work!

That way, when I watch *Twilight - New Moon* again on my computer...

Jacobs Black's 6 packs will be BOOMZ!  kekek!

--------

Red eye...

Have been suffering from a Red eye (right) for the past few days...
Argh, ouch.... cos it's like Bruised feeling + supa irriated n teary...

*OUCH*

They say "Like Mother, Like Daughter...."

I never knew it was so true...

By some freaking coincidence,

Creamie a RED eye too...

on the right side too! *Bleah*

 

Strange, for no apparent reasons...

must be during play, kena scratched or something....

She's squinting her right eye...

For her sake, I went out to buy some Optrex Eye drops... i cant believe it! My house has loads n LOADS of medication, but not a single bottle of eye drops?! DaMn! Linda said cos once open, have to discard after 3 mths... that explains why!

So after enduring for abt 6hrs, I went to the nearest NTUC to get it.

I apply for myself 3-4 drops, apply for Creamie 1-2 drops... multiple times a day...

Actually, if not for Creamie, I wun have bothered to get Eye drops for myself... But I couldnt bear to see her squinting her eye like that... so Heartpain her lah! I cfm I really have 咸菜命 ("salted vege life" ) lah! SiANZ.. what to do, sting on myself, splurge on others...

 

Though the red eye has surely dampen my mood n appetite + tired easily, it seemed to affect Creamie less...

She is still trying to sneak a bite on my Tea!

Tea time!

but TeoChew Muay?

These days I really eat simple, during weekdays that is!

7+am: Breakfast - usualy a slice or bread w butter/museli bar + Hot earl Grey tea

10+am: Tea?! -Watever u call that lah, usually home cooked TeoChew Muay w Preseved Olive Vege, Fermented Beancurd, Fried Shallots, some vege

2+pm: Lunch - sandwich (this week's Soya's Special is SALMON! Omega3 Loading man!)

6+pm: Dinner - Soup + some dishes (usually no rice unless very hungry!)

SALMON fillet!

OMEGA 3 Ozing!

Weekends? PIG OUT OF COURSE! Wuahahah! Yes, allow myself to indulge in more sinful food!

-----
Did my swim today... not too bad...considering that I havent been swimming laps for the past 2-3weeks...

need to go for a swimming time trial for SINGAPORE BIATHLON (taking over YP's place) soon... event's in Mar. So last min but luckily still got time to train. =D YEY! Heard Princess Clare is going too! So happy! At least not going alone! YAY!

Nice n easily done weekend!

Saturday 17Jan09

Havent really have a very Nuaz weekend & so today decided to Nuaz at Bro Xiong's place!

I think Xiong really 人缘好, cos alot of friends came by to visit his family, esp learning the plight of precious Prince Gabrian... latest update abt his heart is that there are 2 holes... 1 small & 1 big. Looking at the reports, the small 1 probably can heal by itself when he grows (with oral medication), but the bigger hole may most likely need surgery.. . haiz.

Anyway, not that I "老王卖瓜, 自卖自夸", but my bro Xiong is really a Good man...
I am naturally stingy with compliments (though I have improved lotz over the years!), but with him - other than abit MCP, he is everything a woman would want for a partner!
Something Simple, he actually bothers to buy some cookbooks for "confinement food", so he can cook the recipes for my sis-in-law! He also put in alot of effort to teach his domestic helper how to prepare those food - all in the gd heart of nursing my sis-in-law's health! So sweet hor!

I always joking tell him that he has "Big shoe size", the man in my life will have "Big Shoes to fill" as he had set the standard very high & "spoilt market"! Wuahah!

-----

Met up with Jane (+2 babies Phoebe n Issac), Kim, Kat n Meimei at sengkang in the evening, went kite flying... more like Picnic actually cos it was dark already & we had MacDonald's n MosBurgers on the mat! Niceeee.... Jane's babies so cute n sweet lah! =D

It was nice to catch up since Jane now resides in Aus n only return like once a year or mayb twice! =D

Though Mei, Kat n Kim are in Singapore, we also seldom meet up liao... so it was a rare chance that everyone made the effort to meet up! =D

Sunday 18Jan09

Starry came to stay over last nite so that we could wake up early to do some exercise!

She cycled 4km today! I cycled "Forest" to BR and met her there while she took the bus & then I jogged & she cycled! Except for a lousy "near knock" incident, she managed well & I declare her Cycle-Fit! Kekeke! So proud of her!

Next time can bring Starry go ECP with the gang! She can cycle with Meishan (she most likely Blade) while me n Ellen can do our jogs! Sui n Wendy can wait for use at the Finishing point with Sugar Cane drinks! Wuahaha!

----

I did my 10km - not keeping pace for the 7mins/km as instructed by Coach Alex.... still find it abit too slow... haiz... Proud to still be able to do my 10km in 1:01:30 =D Yay! At least my speed still there! Wuahah! Now it's slowly building the distance!

Till SUNDOWN there are abt 19weeks left - let's count it as 18 weeks.... my base training shd be abt 10km & milege training to start at 15km, shd be no problem bah?! If I were to increase my long run distance by 10mins (approx 1.4km based on 7min/km pacing) every week, then in 18 weeks I will be able to run a total of....

15km + (18 X 1.4km)

= 15km + 25.2km

= 40.2km...

Hmmm.... Coach Ellen (& Dr.Benedict Tan book) says that to run up or prepared till 35km is enough for Full marathon liao - anything more, will be damaging... so I shd be in gd time...

All these is say only lah!

If I were to do 7min/km thruout - 7mins/km X 42.2km = 4.923hrs or 4hrs56mins... how can be!!! My target is to complete in 5hrs30min in 1 PIECE (yes, AIM is not to fall apart at the FINISH pt & still can go shopping after run)!

-----

Went to meet Sui and Ellen for lunch at Suntec... funny we alwis end up at Cafe il Lido!?! & Eat like there's no tmr!

Our food.... but....

There's more!!

Cos too much dishes cant fit into

1 photograph! Wuahaha!

Glutton us!

-------

After a full tummy, Coach Ellen quickly usher us to leave the place for our part 2! Bishan Swimming complex! Wuahah! Extra training after makaning! Feeling less guilty immediately!

I absentmindedly forgotten my goggles n swim cap! Argh! Swam without it!

1st time I lose 1 side of my contact lense while swimming, mainly cos I rubba too hard before I entered the pool & it was already dislodged in that side of the eye! Damn!

Was a gd swim.... we stayed at Ellen's "training grounds" , which is the training pool and swam the breadth (abt 21m). We did  2 X Br Fist Swim and 2 X Br Finger Dragging Swim as warm up. Then did a 4 (fastest),6 (Fast),8 (Slowly than Fast) Set, ended with a 30 X Br stroking swim. All the swimming without goggles made my eyes red & tired... came home ard 5pm feeling damn sleepyeyed and slept till 8pm! Wuahah!

-----

Btw,

Saw this book at Popular,

feel like buying but $$$exp lah!

*Though I got membership card but still quite exp...

mayb i can borrow from the library,

Mus wait for a couple of years before it will be available,

+ must chope! Cos ChickenSoul is Supa Popular amongst teenagers...

Ok, mayb cats book not so popular, will try my luck!

Bookworm Soya Strikes again!

1 thing for sure I learn from my Cats... Patience.... even Starry agrees with me lah! She said I am more patient now compared to last time, even with friends! I told her that Patience has been my new year resolutions for years man! But heck New Year resolutions, no 1 ever keeps them... for more than 2 wks of the whole year! Usually the 1st week of the New year & the last week of the same year (feeling guilty cos the year is ending mah!)

Anyway, after Kona's lessons ended, I have been trying to teach Creamie n Nugget the command to "shake hand". Creamie is NOT AT ALL enticed by treats, she really got 有骨气 (Got backbone) lah! She will rather NOT EAT the treat then to be Submissive like a ..... PUSSY (though she is 1 REALLi)!

Anyway, her learning style has always been "Mummy, I know everything ok! But I just 不爽 do when u ask me to do!  Dun think I am stupid - I am the Most clever k! So she will only do when she 爽! Kekek! So 有性格 like Mummy lah! Wuahahah!

Nugget finally made the cut! =D He's too much a glutton for treats! Wuahah! Even then, it took me like 2 days over many sessions a day to teach him!

Check him out!



That's my boy!! Wuahah!

Bleah....心情欠甲!

Today's quite chuiz... after losing $$ (probably price of a 1.5 X LOEWE Wallet), I feel damn frustrated at work!

I could have used the $$ for many things in my list!
-Indoor trainer (bike)
-Swimming lessons
-Holidays
-Dresses n nice clothes
-Running shoes
-New HP
-Etc.... the list goes on!
Argh!

Enough is ENOUGH! I need to get outa house!
So I went jogged to TP with my Swim cap n goggles tucked tot the back of my swimming costume n shorts! I tried out 2nd part of the Swimming prog from Coach Ellen....

Warm Up
- 6 Br leg kicking w board
- 10 Br of finger tip dragging drill


Training Programme 1 - 468 continuous ( 2 sets )
- meaning your fastest for 4 br, then also slow down a bit for 6 br, then slow down a bit for 8 br. then rest a few min, then 2nd set


Training Programme 2 - 1 fast br then back with 1 recovery, slow but still in good form br, 1 to and fro is considered 1 set - rest again for a while  (5 sets) 

Completed & rested for a while. Then went for my jog... CHuiz...mayb lousy mood also lah + 1st return training for transition.... struggled quite abit to complete 8km in 53:30 (6.68mins/km).... Considering the fact that I was panting quite abit...it means CHUIZ... it means I was rather Kaput for this set... shagged out... mayb it was "transitional", mayb it was my 心情欠甲 (Mood is less of Ace). Dun care lah!

Movies to watch... I'm Soya Holmes!

Year 2010 will be a year will lotsa movies to watch out for!
So I made a list!

*Did You Hear About The Morgans*

*Invictus*

*It's Complicated*
*Hachiko: A Tale*
*The Blind Side*

I just watched this.... Niceee...

------

Rude surprised when I returned home from the movies...

On my white crispy bedsheets...

Closer look...

I need to find out whose the culprit!

So I turned Sherlock Holmes

& use my analytical skills...

Detective like alertness....

- Creamie is too much a cleanliness freak like me to endure a dirty paw!

- Besides, she's too clever n sneaky to leave a trace behind!

- Paw Print cfm that it's the hind leg, so deeply imprinted indicated that this culprit has a strong hind leg bounce off!

- Measurement cfm also that this culprit is young n very athletic.

- Cfm guaranteed CHOP!

I conclude the culprit has to be Nugget!

Hah! Who else could it be!
-Took a sample for comparison!
Culprit arrested!

Trying out this Training prog written by my dear friend...

Happy with the work out today... quite relax =D

Desperado...

In my despair...

I resort to doing it....

No... I am not showing off my muscles....

I am showing u how desperate I am...

Have been suffering from intense arm muscle ache from Cherating...

Duno what happened?! It's so aching that I cant actually lift up my arms... & it is sore even if I just hang them on my shoulders (meaning to so-not doing anything).

So bo bian lor.... tie PHITEN to my arms... overnite for 2 days liao....

instantly 40% better this morning but still sore & heavy...

-----

Miss making my own sandwich!

Today I grilled the chicken fillet, Yellow Pepper and even the bread! YUMMY!

Bathed the Baby Butterhead leaves in the italian dressing too...

Melted cheese... wholesome meal! YUM!

C&N love sniffing at human food!

-----

Caught them sleeping tog... obviously they love the cosiness....

Duno how they can sleep in such

contorted positions?!

Hahah! But so sweet to see them sleep!

So niceeee right? Awwww....

Cant help but reminds me of this!

Wuahahah!

-----

Tried out the swimming programe

Ellen passed to me:

Warm Up - 6 Br leg kicking w board

- 6 Br of finger tip dragging drill

- 6 br of fist swim

Training Programme 1 - 246 continuous ( 2 sets )

- meaning your fastest for 2 br, then also slow down a bit for 4 br, then slow down a bit for 6 br. then rest a few min, then 2nd set

Training Programme 2 - 468 continuous ( 1 sets )

- meaning your fastest for 4 br, then also slow down a bit for 6 br, then slow down a bit for 8 br

Duno if I did correctly or not...Anyway completed in ard 40mins... no one to correct my stroking so bo bian... i actually cycled to TP & planned to do some cycling at the park.... like for 1hr... but 天色以暗 & cycling at even 25kmh scary at a dark place... esp when there are still jogger ard... dun wanna another accident man! So I headed home after doing a loop up & down (4-5km) only... all in all - i probably only cycled 10km today...Haiz... how to squeeze in more time for training?

听不见他喜欢我, 因为他根本没有说...

Must watch... *听说*...

Supa simple but touching movie with the right laughters at the right place! Esp love these Taiwanese commoner movies, laced with some exchange of the local dialect-Hokkien. Somehow it makes the mood less tense, & very 亲切...

"听不见他喜欢我, 因为他根本没有说..."

Sometimes I wonder if...
We are all Deaf... but able to hear only what we wanna hear...
Maybe we are all Blind too... but only see but we wanna see...
Maybe we cant Speak as well...we spare Compliments, kind words but not Complains...

We can be the less Feeling beings than beasts...
even my Creamie n Nugget can feel it when I am down...
They cant speak, nor understand my words... but they can sense and feel remorse, sorrow, jor or happiness...
They will put down all they are doing, whatever birds they were trying to chase behind the wired windows... they will come and offer me Solace...

I wish we can all be Feeling beings... begin with our familys, friends, spouse, colleagues...
Let's start to feel Human...

Prince Gabrian Arrives!

I forgot to mention.... upon returning to Singapore yest... I went to meet Starry for dinner... of cos we gossiped! Wuahaha!

Abt her... abt my trip.... blah blah.... it was nice.... girly tok & very relaxing....
----
When I returned home with my luggage at 10.30pm.... I had to clear up the mess in my room.... actually not really mess lah... just that my room floor suddenly became carpetted with "high quality animal fur" - Creamie & Nugget's to be precise!! wuahaha!

So I turned into my "黄脸婆" mode.... I dumped the clothes to wash.... cleaned Creamie's chin... fed her & nugget... vaccummed the floor, moped the floor n wipe down the furniture, changed the bedsheets. Of cos clean away the grease marks Nugget made on my wall.... he climbed up the bike tower again?! ARGH! How to prevent him from doing that?!

Finally I went to bathe at 12midnite & settled down to play with C&N for 15mins... read 4 days' worth of newspaper in 1 sitting.... that means 2hrs straight & slept at 2+am...

Cleanliness Freak Soya strikes again!
----

I am happy to annouce that I upgraded to GuGu Auntie Soya again!!!
WOOoooohooo!
Baby Gabrian Huang Kang En was delivered on 5Jan09!

Welcome Prince Gabrian!

Proud daddy!

Proud GuGu Soya!

He's so Cute lah!

I need all the help I can get... pls all pray for my Precious Prince Gabrian...

He has a hole in the heart...

not those like premature babies whereby they have a high chance of healing by itself when they grow older... I forgot what was the medical term, but according to the doc.he'll most likely need reconstructive surgery before he grows up ...

For now, we can only observe him for the next 1-3weeks with reviews in between...

Pls pray for his gd health... thank you! =)
