Terry Fox Run 2012

Happy Lunar New Year Eve to all! Today's New Year Eve and I'm looking forward to steamboat tonight :) I love Chinese New Year. I just feel lucky and that everything will be even better for the new year. So I wish everyone a prosperous new year ahead! Also, I'm really glad to be able to squeeze in a run before the new year. The Terry Fox run - a 10km run to raise funds for Cancer. It was my first time joining it and I must say it was a gooood run. The group was small group and I could feel the sincerity of the organizers. I especially love the idea of giving out cookies at the end of the run. Vain pot wants me to take a pic of him Nicely packed apples. Standchart run didn't even give me a banana now! There was even free starbucks coffee. How cool hah I definitely encourage ppl to join this run next year! Hope it does not become as commercialize as the other runs.

Disrupted Holiday Plans

I'm feeling a little disappointed today coz my holiday plans are being disrupted. I was happily looking forward to Feb this year as Der and I were planning for a long trip. Blow 1: I told my boss back in Dec 2010 thinking that I will definitely be able to take leave. However my boss had plans at the exact same period and I had to give in to him. Blow 2: Der tried changing his leave to the beginning of March to accommodate me and we were so happy when his leave was approved. We were choosing between Eastern Europe and West America. However he was told today by another boss that the leave is not approved! His boss said he can try taking April instead. arggggg from feb to march and now to april. I dont even feel anything as april seems to be so far away. I could be going for my 2nd trip in April! Anyway... My new year's pressie to myself... My red Prada bag hahah Bring me luck for the new year!!!!

Happy 2012!

Year 2011 past by really fast for me. Maybe it was because I changed my job and it has only been 1 year. Anyway decided to splurge a little since it was the new year. However I thought it wasn't really worth the price. We went for dinner at this restaurant called ECO. Nestled in a very quiet part of Singapore... Labrador Park. The place has a nice ambiance, really good if you want to be away from all the hustle and bustle since it was so packed everywhere during New Year's Day. This place reminds be a little of Villa Bali as well as Baan Rim Pa in Phuket. I liked the bread and this ham with pickle thingy they gave before our meal I even had Duck Foire Gras as my starter...actually I didn't like it hahah As city dwellers, the night will not be complete if we didn't make our way down to Clarke Quay to squeeze with the crowd for the countdown!We even managed to catch the fireworks A pity most of the girls were not in town. Otherwise it will be the usual hs gathering. Anywa
