White Picket Fence

In movies, the happy lovely ladies (of Stepford. lol) always pine for houses with white picket fences.

Oh how the feminist side in me sneers. In contrast, I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to live in a spacious high rise penthouse with a 360 degree view of the city... Oooh La la Oui!





...But then I discovered a childhood picture of when we first moved into our house in 1993... A place far away from the city up on top of the hill overlooking stretches of greenery and towns. A place with queer lamps and white picket fence. The kind of place a young couple would dream to buy to start their happy little family.

The kind of place I too would like to buy someday perhaps (hehe PLUS the penthouse of course! )

1993

Walk-a-thon

My dad bought vouchers for the family for a walk-for-charity event that happened this morning. Naturally, I dragged two of my friends in ;)

Whilst walking (more like whilst dillay-dallying),
AL: I almost didnt want to come today. But I came for you.
FZ: Ya me too....I was gonna sleep in but AL called me up and I'll feel bad if I didnt come.
Me: Haha well my whole family didnt wanna come and I told them I had to go coz I've dragged you guys into this. And so my whole family came anyway because of you guys!

Its so funny and sweet how we all didnt wanna go this morning but went anyway just because we didnt want to let each other down... Awwww lol.

Anyway its nice catching up over a walk...5km feels like a breeze! And despite our dillay-dallying and chit-chatting we still got medals!!! 3o ppl from each category qualifies for it (we were the last 3 to get medals in our category :p)

Oh chop chop let me upload the picture...Hehe pardon the proud-ness, but I've been like so lazy when it comes to exercising that this becomes quite an achievement. Hahaha loser I know.

-----updated 7th July 2009

I.H. called me up to say that the three of us appeared on T.V. for this! Oh what can I say... cameras loves us ;p But you wanna hear the funny bit? They ran a video of us and then straight after ran a video of the champion walker.....Pfffft What a joke =s

Indulgence

Some people have asked me if work is stressful because I seem to have lost weight. Work is not stressful but I've stopped caring about my weight. LIES!! haha we all know that deep down I always freak out when I put on weight. But what I'm trying to say is that I'm less obsessed with it now... I'm just enjoying the "love-thy-body phase"? Haha ok bullshit! I'm only writing this part about having 'lost' weight just so I dont feel so guilty about what is to follow...

...Coz I'm actually gonna blog about durian...feasting on Durian. oh yummy yummy durian :D :D Dudeee I dont know how much I ate....but I cant resist durian!!!! Weakness!! I was about to watch a play in a room full of reputable ppl and what did I eat just before the play? Swiss Roll Durian! Of course my aunts made me took plentiful of Hacks after....and oh my seat number was D24 (fyi thats like code name for durian)! And today I just had to stuff my face silly with plenty more of it. I love how durians are all like macho on the outside but soft in the inside. Ooooh I love the texture and how it sort of melts in your mouth... Oh it was so yummmmy :) :)

And to be fair, its not fully my fault that I love it so much. My mum was on a durian craving when she was pregnant with me and maybe she didnt know that it was heaty and probably not advisable coz she went ahead and indulged herself... So yeaaaa its in my system! Best excuse ever ;)
