i've just came back from arena at 4.10am, welcomed by the barking of my dog in my bro's room and 2 cockroaches in the living room. disgusted, i took a slipper and threw it on them. then i went to the bathroom to wash up and i saw yet another almost fully grown cockroach. pissed, i took a "giant" (supermarket) brochure, rolled it up and tried to hit the cockroach.

there's way too many of them hiding in some corner of my house. i used to avoid and ran away from them but i figured that's not the best solution. they just keep multiplying. absolutely annoying! gotta get rid of them somehow.

i was off yesterday. i slept till 1.30pm, which was unusually long, must be making up for lost sleep.

i met up with grace for some outdoor activity. being cooped up 5 days a week, we need some sun! we went cycling at east coast park. had our pit-stop at bedok jetty and didnt move from there until an hour later. spent the hour taking pictures, talking and enjoying the breeze.

later, we had dinner at long beach. chilli crabs, sambal kang kong and cereal prawns. we must have been too hungry cos i totally forgot about taking pictures.

then, i finally got around to collecting my shu umera 2-way foundation from my cuzy. afterwhich, i went to grace's place to plan for our aussie holiday. the long-awaited holiday, it's gonna be so much fun!!!

counting down 64 days to aussie..
counting down 27 days to bali..

3 days before, i did a research on cakes. i decided on passion fruit meringue from the patissier. it must be good based on the number of good reviews i thought.

2 days before, i went on a pressie hunt. i went to raffles city shopping centre, marina square, city link mall and bugis junction. after a couple of hours of shopping, i managed to get her pressie just before the shop closes.

the day before, i went to shop for her favourite eeyore softie. i went straight to mini toons and found it without much difficulty. afterwhich, i met up with davis and we went to tampines 1 cos he hasn't been there. that's where i found at least 5 more shops selling softies and 2 of which had a wide variety of disney characters. damn~

on friday, ash and i went to pick up her cake at the mohd sultan branch before heading to one rochester. the traffic was so horrible, i wished i was riding. thankfully, we got there before angela and her husband did. the plan was to bring out the cake when we go to the restroom but the cake wasnt there when we came back. then i saw the waiter trying to light up the cake in the corner and we started to sing the birthday song while he walked over. wonderful service and good food, the only con is that their menu is very limited.

after dinner, we went to dempsey for some drinks. i stayed till 1.30am although i had to be at work at 4.30am, all thanks to the dedication that didn't came. we waited and waited until i heard a "goodbye".

happy birthday in advance mei juan!! hope you liked the pressies, cake and dinner. =)

i finally got around to servicing my bike, 1000km due. no more weird sounds from the engine which was caused by the transmission and a replacement for my headlight which has not been working for months. full servicing which includes changing of the belt costs me 217, less than i expected!

i spent the day doing things that i feel like doing. im starting to realise that this is a luxury. met up with the bestie in the evening for dinner at nihon village. afterwhich, we were supposed to play pool but we were surprised it seems like everyone has gathered at east coast park. everywhere was packed so we decided to do some midnight shopping instead. gladly, mustafa centre wasnt as crowded as i thought it would be. managed to get most of the items that i need to get except for my luggage. spent the longest time at the luggage department deciding on one but they didnt had a new piece for the one i selected.

im so looking forward to the holidays!! after 2 weeks of waiting, i could at last make the reservations and bookings for the accomodation and flight for bali and i'm all set to go!

its been almost 2 weeks since the split took place. and i've been making stupid, silly, careless mistakes which sometimes, i really hate myself for doing that. i have to stay focus and not let nonsensical people and issues affect me. i have only 3 months to prove myself.

just last night, i woke up from my sleep at 5-ish from severe headache. i had to go to the doctor where i spent 74 moolahs on a doctor who obviously doesnt give a shit and was probably cursing me for waking him up from his beauty sleep. all he did was to ask what is wrong with you and said maybe you have an infection, i'll give you something stronger than panadol. and that's that. no checking of blood pressure whatsoever. i regretted not going to the hospital instead.

happy labour day!

today also happens to be my mummy's 49th birthday. my bro, apple and myself have been getting ourselves busy trying to plan a surprise. i sourced for the best place to get her cake while they collected it. cake - done!

next up, present. i went to nearby tampines mall with the intention to get her a wallet and also to check out the new tampines 1 shopping mall. didnt manage to find something suitable at tampines 1, i went to isetan and bhg but still, nothing caught my eye. with limited time, i decided to get her a watch instead. that wasnt too hard a choice to make since there was only 2 shops and the bonus was, they were having discounts on selected watches for mothers' day promotion. present - done!

lastly, what's a party without food. we ordered pizza hut, one of my mummy's random craving. my bro's friends came to join in the celebration too. my bro called when he and mummy were on their way back. we turned off all the lights to give the impression that no one was home. then we hid in my mummy's room with the cake. it took her awhile to open the door to the room cos along the way, she played with the dog. our first ever surprise to mummy! and i could tell she is really happy. i hope she'll always be happy and healthy.
