Wed night, 29 Aug 2007. This is the first time that I saw such a big moon around 7 plus while I was having training for the golf. Normally I dont get a chance to see such a big round moon. I was lucky to see it. Makes me wanna eat egg yolk.

Emperor Penguin, they are such beautiful animals.

They mate at a place called Oamock . After their courtships, the entire population awaits the hatching of the eggs. However, the females leave the eggs with the males and set out through the polar winter back to the sea to find food. After they return the newborn offspring are passed back to them while the males embark on another exhausting march.

One thing I dont understand is that why they have to mate in Oamock? Cant they mate in other places?

Sat went with my shining sister lua to eat the ramen at Baikohken. It is from Ashikawa City in Hokkaido. 38 yrs of history. Shining sis lili took MC from us on sat. This store is just opp The Central. Not difficult to find. We waited for around 20mins even though there are not alot of people. We ordered Gyoza , it was quite oily but still ok. I ordered Shio Charsiew, shining lua also. You can choose from Miso, shoyu or shio flavour.

When we first saw it, we thought we ordered instant noodle. It look so much like one hehe. The egg was nice, the meat was nice also. Soup was ok. But still I like Marutama Ra-Men more. Still I will go back and try other flavours.

Address: 7 North Canal Road , Tel: 6534 3808

After that shop around went to drink rambutan smoothie at coffee club. It was quite nice. Maybe canned rambutan. The view was nice also. If too damn free can sit there and relax.

Personalities

Could our personalities determined by our birth order? I saw from article.

If you're the only child, you are suppose to be...

1. have intense relationships with your parents
2. cofident, articulate and assertive

If you're the eldest child, you are suppose to be...

1. achievement-oriented
2. not a huge risk-taker
3. inflexible both in work and relationships

If you're the middle/ second child, you are suppose to be...

1. competitive
2. diplomatic and sociable
3. flexible

If you're the youngest child, you are suppose to be...

1. manipulate

3. bad at decision-making

I am the eldest, I am not really that achievement oriented but in a way still trying. I am not a risk taker. Flexibile in work yeah as always thinking of solution to solve problem and try to do the work with easiest way. Dont like wishy washy and unnecessary work. So overall it is quite true.

So it is true for you?

What is birch? Sounds like Bitch or Birth? Birch is the name of any tree of the genus Betula. These are generally small to medium-size trees or shrubs, mostly of northern temperate climates.

The chewing gum I am eating now is made of birch. Xylitol is a sweetener that occurs naturally. It can be found in such foods as berries, fruit, vegetables and mushrooms. It is even generated by the human body during metabolism. The Finnish name for it, ‘koivusokeri’, or ‘birch sugar’, derives from the fact that the original way to make xylitol industrially is from birch, by chopping up and rendering down the structural fibre of the wood, xylan.

Recently , Kose also have this Skin lightening essence made with Vitamin C, oriental herbs in a Japanese formula, and white birch tree bark, which is proven to fade away spots and freckles as well as lightening properties.

I would like to buy and try it. Didnt know that Birch could be so useful.

Just got a new camera Fujifilm F31fd, I like this camera because Lili bought it and use it for Hokkaido trip. While taking night pictures, it take very clear pics. The background wont be just black colour. Bought it for S$469, have camera stand, 2GB card. A deal. Some of the features are:

1. Clear Focus on faces in every scene. Even in low light.
2. Optimized Brightness of faces in every scene
3. Zoom up detected faces in the photo one by one during playback
4. Trimming of detected faces and save it as "potrait"
5. View as slideshow
6. PS (Picture Stabilization) Mode
7. Natural Light & with Flash
8. 6.3 Mega pixels

Still need to play around with it. Hope that me as a idiot cam user will use this with fun.

Now is the hungry ghost festival. So alot of incense paper and praying paper flying around. Last week was even worst. There are singers that sing and dance on stage. With sexy or outrageous costumes. Hokkein songs, chinese songs for the ghost and humans to see. Can see the movie 881 that show about Getai ( Stage Singing Performance).

My house downstairs the basketball court, so dirty after the praying. Why singaporean just cant be considerate and dont anyhow throw things?

The firework for sat was nice. China one, so now I keep wondering would spain one (that is shown on friday) be nicer? Because we always have this impression that china are more cheena (cheapo), but still I find the fireworks nicer then the actual day for NDP.

I keep on saying wow, wow wow. Then my god daugther asked me why i keep on wow wow wow. Hehe. I more sua ku then her. This firework have different colour when being display and so many style. Total three place they show.One from the stage, two from the right side. Still blue zone has the best view. Yeah.

We were thinking whether the music they play will have china music. Alittle bit of those china music, but still overall it is good for value of money. Lasted around 20 mins. When go back home, jammed again. This time the traffic is not that smooth. The moment we step out, jammed already. I saw one ang mo there scolding the police. "This is totally shit". I dont know, they are trying their best to control everything but this ang mo just stand there screaming. If he is so good ask him to go and do it lah. Just jammed for around 10-15mins, bui song liao. So impatient. Should expect alot of crowd mah have to be patient mah.

Yesterday,4th lesson of golf. Last week justin not around, next week he not around also. Hehe, dont know when my golf lesson will end.

Yesterday learn full swing, wow not easy leh. my body so stiff. and then body have to bend a little bit foward when swing. And instuctor keep on saying that for my right swing, my right arm should not stick to my body, have to lift it up. Realised that without Tee, the ball cannot fly high, just fly to the floor. Dont know the reason why.

Last nite, just got my golf set from Slagenzer. Full golf set. Instructor told me that the seller actually won lottery so wanna upgrade her set so she is selling cheap. Yeah S$280 for a set is really cheap, and have all the accessories and cover for the club also. For me even I won a lottery I wont buy a golf set for S$1K, still my love sport is volleyball.

When carry home so heavy, I wonder when play at green those carrier how they carry, must have a technique. So heavy. Money not easy to earn.

Yeah, this sat going for fireworks in the middle of volleyball. Still it is at marina bay. Start at 9pm maybe, must be seated at 8.30pm. shiok shiok can see more fireworks. Going to see with sally foo and god daughter. Long time I didnt see my god daughter, miss her alot. Will still seat at the blue zone. Blue zone is the best seat.

Wedding day for cheryl and damon. I was very happy for them. It was fun, there are 5 jie mei (sister) and shiong di (brother) to help out. Me and kent are the time keeper. Very easy job hehe thanks cheryl. Morning we only look out for timing. At night we make sure we keep the timing and then eat peanuts.

It was fun, first when the guys came, we ask them to strip off their leg hair. But then they so ungentleman one, hide at a corner and we cant see them waxing off their leg hair. Another sabo is those wax that they have we paste it on heart shape paper and damon have to put on lipstick and kiss on the paper. Then have to let cheryl approve it that she is ok with it. Another one is damon have to wear baby pampers. Last one is he needs to sing. Wo ai ah tin (as cheryl's name end with tin), Ah tin ai wo. He have to sing it loud so that cheryl can hear it and then last one is gave ang bao to jie mei. Ai yoh these guys so much trick, put tissue paper inside the red packet. then after that put voucher which only can use by NS man, we all cannot use one. in the end snatch here and there, finally we got the red packet. Still Damon is the most gentleman guy as he have no choice as need to marry the bride. hehe. Oh nao dong fang, that is the best part. Crix and marian so nice booked a hotel room for them. So we went to the hotel and some of us hide behind the curtain, some hide beside the bed. While waiting for them, we entertain ourselves and took some nice sexual postion of the octopus (stuff toy which marian bought for them). Kent took the pictures into cheryl's phone for her night.

We switch off all the lights,When around 1 am plus they reach the hotel. We surprise them! Cherly was so happy hehe. but it is show time! First we made both of drink mixture of wine and liquor and they have to mouth to mouth feed each other. Then we made them changed to bikini and swimming trunk. In order not to sabotage cheryl too much we gave cheryl a robe. Then the last part is the best. They have to cover themselves with the blanket and finally they have to take off all their bikini and trunk! Too bad we cant laugh it out loud. But it was so funny.

And last wish cheryl and damon live happily ever after, just like fairy tales.

NDP was so nice. I really enjoy so much. The lights, the laser, the stunts, all very nice. The goodie bag that they provide as nice. The big we can actually change color also. Just unzip the bag and can just zip it back with other colour. Only provide white color for changing, but my sis, ying xu and ah chai , we all took different color bag. Have yellow(which I took), green, red and purple. This is first year at the floating bay. Very good and nice experience. And all the things are very organised. Like queueing up, taking of free gift. Going back home as not pain in the ass also. Just very squeezy but still everything was smooth and steady. Really great work Singapore hehe. Too bad I didnt see myself on the tv haha, next time when we sit must sit near the camera. Now I know where to sit already.

Battlefield has just began for me as I will be tranfer to a niang ji niang lan manager. One admin girl decide to stay, good for me. But then in future, I dont know how yet. Just stay on and see what happens. The recept girl that I request, one of the boss in charge dont wanna release. With this damn miserable pay, the girl are willing to tranfer but they are not willing to give her a chance. stupid idiots. Now I have to search for a person and one came for interview she is not familiar with english. One didnt turn up and dont bother to tell also. Nowadays young girls are so irresponsible.WTF Lah, just enjoy my thur NDP Parade and Friday cheryl's wedding. They dont care I also dont give a shit.

I saw this and my hair stand. Who will use this kind of thing? It is needled roller bowed over faces. What does it use for? It is for punctures the skin with a needled roller, ironically created to repair the skin! This Microneedle Theraphy system works on philosophy that “injuring” the skin will induce the release of growth factors to stimulate the production of more collagen and elastin, thus reducing wrinkles and improving skin texture. Side effects include bleeding,bruising and redness for few days. I wonder why people wanna torture themselves with this. I don’t think I will use this. I rather drink the collagen drink.

Hmm I dont wanan be friend with suay sen (bad luck god). How can I play volleyball for four hours and didnt win?! whoever partner with me lose. Lucky won one game before going home. Last week was damn suay already. two girls resign. all work dump to me. Hope that this week will be heng heng. So fast, thur NDP parade, really excited about it. Friday. cheryl's wedding, Early in the morning gonna wake up already. 6AM har! Being ah yi (sister) is like that. 8am have to reach there. (Cheryl if u read this, hope your ang bao is big big.) I wonder she got buy cherry for me bor. I asked her before hehe. I want sweet sweet cherry.

Just got the firework ticket which is for 18 Aug. After volleyball have to rush there. This year fireworks celebrates pyromusicals from Spain and China. There will be a Festive Carnival featuring F&B, arts & craft and street performances. It is at Marina Bay Floating which I will be viewing the NDP Parade. Will sit at the blue zone again. Seems like blue is always with me. Go there see 15 mins firework. Squeeze here squeeze there. But that is the joy of it. Firework will start at 9pm maybe,by 8.30pm must be seated.

Thanaka

What is Thanaka. The thanaka is a concoction made out of water mixed with a tree bark, which is spread on the face of children and women in Myanmar, as a sun screen and skin refresher. The cosmetic appears in many forms; in its raw - and highly prized - state it will be sold in markets in small 10- 18cm long branches and logs. These are ground vertically, round and round, on a special flat circular whetstone with a few drops of water, producing a milky yellow liquid that is then immediately applied to the skin. While wet, it is virtually translucent but in an hour, it dries to a rich yellow crust. The liquid works fast at tightening the skin and covering blemishes. Hey we dont need SK II nor Biotherm anymore. Just use this wood!
