Vacations always end too fast

I am officially back to work today, after bumming for the whole month of December.

Instead of feeling rejuvenated after the long break, I am suffering from withdrawal symptoms. Nearly woke up late today. Not a good start!

Time really flies too fast when you're on vacation. It seemed only like yesterday that my brain was totally switched off from work.

However, I did not really enjoy my vacation. I was looking forward to sleeping late everyday, but there is an alarm in my house who will automatically ring very loud before 7am every morning. And it will always ring continuously until afternoon. And then the ringing will start again at 10pm until midnight. 

Also spent a lot of $$ during my long break.

Because I kept going to the fridge every 10 minutes to snack on chocolates and mini cornettos, I was practically going to NTUC everyday to stock up on titbits. Which also explained why I was jogging very frequently.

And now my knee joints got problem! Exercise, got problem. No exercise, also got problem....Sigh....

Overtime on Christmas Eve?

Apparently someone who is always in a hurry to go home, and seldom clock extra hours at work, had worked overtime on Christmas Eve! (First time sia!)

*Question marks above my head*

In order to work effectively with your boss and colleagues, you must know how to wayang at the right time and the right place leh. Definitely not on Christmas Eve! (Com' on, everyone has already gone home......)

Have a Merry Kissmas! May peace, love and joy be with all my loved ones and friends on this festive season! Cheers!

Bumming December 2010 - Day 17

The fruit of my Thursday labour!

A DIY photo frame for my husband's Xmas gift. It's to be placed on his office desk to remind him that I'll always be waiting for him to come home (early!).

I have been very stingy in recent years. Forgot when was the last time I actually bought him a decent gift - not even on his birthday! On special occasions, I treat him to a good meal instead of lavishing on gifts.

I have DIY quite a number of stuffs for him as gifts - calenders, photo frames, etc, etc.  A hand-made gift is is always priceless when it's done by your loved one.  Not even a new I-Pad or X-box can compare to the efforts being put in on the 爱心礼物 ok!

I am a happy woman today.

Another new Fossil watch to add to my collection! (The rest are not mine.)

I love their watches - simple and yet sophisticated (and also affordable too!).

 

Bumming December 2010 - Day 15

I have never been so hardworking on blogging until this month.

Used to be very passionate with it, maintaining my site religiously, posting regularly with pictures and interesting findings. And then a decade later, with more work commitments and distractions from computer games ( I remember my craze over Gunbound, Maple Story & Granado Espada, and then now Facebook!), my interest died.

Then came 2010's December when I was practically doing nothing for a whole month. So there, a daily post on my slacking activities.

Another few more days, this site will  be left alone again to collect spider cobwebs, perhaps until 2011 December?

Just returned from a filming a corporate video for my organisation on the nature of our job.

I wonder if I am just plain lucky (or unlucky) to be selected as the "actress" whenever there are such  lobangs. Acting is actually not easy. Need to re-do the same action many times to get that perfect shot. So a few seconds of a certain scene take one whole day to film.

I have my fair share of the 15-seconds of fame on TV news on a number of occasions. There were a few times when people actually could recognize me while I was doing my inspections even though the scenes were shown for a few seconds usually.

"Hey, isn't she the girl on the news, checking the roof last night.....?"

Wow, I felt like a movie star already.

No wonder people yearn to be famous celebrities.

Bumming December 2010 - Day 14

Nothing much to do on a blue Monday, except a slow jog in the morning after clearing some work at the office.

Was supposed to grab some fantastic deals at a certain shop together with my husband. My whole afternoon was wasted on waiting for him (because he delayed our appointment again and again), while I kept myself occupied in front of the computer screen.

And then when we got to the boutique at Marina Bay Sands, there were a few hiccups and we did not manage to enjoy the fantastic deals.

And then came the heavy showers again.

Sigh, December is really a bad month for bumming.

Bumming December 2010 - Day 13

Yes! Finally the sun's out! But it's blocked by so many clouds. Duhs.

Nowadays I no longer hang around at the adult pool because there's too much shade there. But it's always so noisy at the children's pool. No matter how loud I blast my music, I still can hear kids screaming.

Been lying beside this uncle who's always in orange trunks and have big tattoos on his pelvis area 4 times in a row. It's always those few regular tanners at Safra Mount Faber. Ogle until sian already. Adam Chen seems to have disappeared. He has a really nice body!

If you are a regular patron at a certain place, will you say hi and make small talk with the staff or the regulars there?

I am an anti-social person by nature. So far, the only person whom I say hi, after frequenting the club for the past 2 years, is to one of the swimming instructors. He once told me that he wanted to teach me how to swim. 

Bumming December 2010 - Day 12

Yeah! Finally the weekend. It's been ages since I last had breakfast at McDonald's. My husband delivered what he had promised. Breakfast Deluxe at East Coast McDonald's. But before that, we did an 8km run along the park and another 2km walk after breakfast to collect Ally which was parked at Fort Road, before pampering our poor feet at Nature Care - our usual haunt for a good foot reflexology session at Beo Crescent.

I have the best husband in the world. No matter how tired he is, he'll always accommodate my whims and fancies. His life certainly revolves a lot around me. I wonder if that is a good or bad thing.

Bumming December 2010 - Day 11

Finally some dry weather in the late afternoon to burn off unwanted calories due to excessive intake of mini cornettos while staying glued in front of the computer screen watching movies on Thursday. And it started to pour again after I finished my 6km run *phew*

Hubby came home early, and we were snuggling together in bed watching a Taiwanese drama - "18禁不禁?". I almost died laughing in tears.

 

Bumming December 2010 - Day 10

It's a rainy Thursday. Slacked at home, DIY-ing the 2011 calender and wrapping Xmas pressies. My life's so exciting!
