Nooo Noo Nooo Noooo..

Thats how we communicate to Browne : ) he'll tilt his head left and right when you say "nooooo noooo noooooo nooooo" with a rhythm

As usual, i had a crazy week of emails at work..im sorry pei en..i didnt help u with a single case in your basket. I cant even complete my own work either. I am very proud of rachell and myself. We both persevered through a 2 woman team when the usual is 3-4.
Thank you for your committment.

On Friday, i was supposed to head for Jasmine's and sky's wedding at Sentosa..but...i couldnt finish my work and it was already 8pm and Suntec is definately the last plc u want to be at when u're rushing to get a venue..people were descending down to suntec and people just congested the streets and i cldnt make my way to the mrt when everywhere is barricaded..the F1 cars were having a race practice and it was deafening!!!

I met angie and she gave me a free walkabout ticket as she was rushing for her son's birthday.
It was an experience i tell you.. although the cars were whizzing past and my ears were ringing , the atmosphere of excitement was contagious .
I tore myself away and trudged back to the office..

After work, i went to Rachell's farewell party..we walked from city link to Butter..thank goodness im in my 1.5 inch heels..phew...
we were all perspiring when we reach our destination..

It was my 1st time meeting up with my fellow colleagues from UBS for a yum seng session..glad that i was given this opportunity to bond with them. I had a Bagel and orange juice for dinner and that was not enough for my tummy and i ended up with a severe bout of gastric the following day after that round of drinks.
I vomited out so much gastric juice on saturday morning and the acid was burning my stomach lining and my poor baby had to forego cycling and take care of me the whole day. i couldnt eat nor drink water.
i felt so disappointed with myself..why didnt i take care of myself..the suffering was certainly not worth it

Its probably a good idea not to even drink at all.

Went to chapter2cycle at amk ave 10..a lil' disappointed with their bikes...their website was much more impressive
they carry mainly cube and avanti but they can ship in some models but thats gonna cost u more than buying directly fr the distributor.
Im just going to buy a hardtail. Found out that full sus bikes are not really good for intensive off trail cos its heavy - bad for up slope climbing and no doubt the sus covers the shocks at the rear , and gives stability, i think hardtail wld be more enjoyable.
maybe cos i dont have enough money to splash..hehehee

oh my god, im finally going on leave on wednesday and wont be back to work till 2 weeks later..whoopie

guess what...
my neighbour's son hung himself in his room at the 26th Sept ..
the worse thing? his room is next to my room..
fantastic! i didnt dare to sleep last night and i had to beg my mom to sleep with me
i cant believe he's gone just like that.
he's the same age as me..good looking and fit..blah blah..very mysterious cos he doesnt speak and i always find him outside his house smoking with a can of beer
but i often wonder what cld have made him undertake such a drastic measure as in to end his life like this
he wasnt ill..his family seems cohesive..
and i just saw him at gardens coffee shop on the 25th!
im still reeling from his death and i just cant believe that he's gone..
life is so transient..

whatever it is...i hope he's at peace

I want any of these BIKES!

Scattered thoughts

weekend is over again! and i did absolutely nothing today. i just ate and laze..
and now im dreading to turn in..cos that would be the end to my weekend and it would be hello! again dreadful work
i should be feeling fortunate that i still have a job .. the banking sector is truely unpredictable and we know nought which is the next bank to be X-ed! as long as the credit/mortgage crisis in US does not stabilize, the banks are going to face further write downs and how much buffer does a bank have to counter?
The job market is so bad right now.. there's now a flux of bankers and a freeze to most bank's headcount. A recession is on the cards and i wonder whats going to happen...
i definately cant be without a job.
i have too many obligations and i thought i could finally start saving for my future when my bonus comes in..tough luck i guess..

Coddie is sleeping on my bed with me tonight...as she lay beside me , i put my arm under her head and whispered into her ear.."remember? this was how i hugged u to sleep when u were a puppy"..
i love her..and she just turned 7 human years on sept 15. large breed dog normally has a shorter life span than small dogs..and its an average span of 10years..which means coddie foddy doddie only has 3 yrs to go...**bawL**
no no..coddie is chang ming bai sui!

i signed up for standard chartered's half marathon..what did i get myself into!!!!
i could have done 10km..why on earth did i sign up for 21km!
i guess i wanted a challenge..but i think im just going to puncture..
oh no...i dont have a right frame of mind and positivity for this..shucks!
i ran 3 km on wed and 6 km on thurs..and that thurs, i almost "pun chek"!

Sat was gooood...i went to Bukit Timah to do my off trail cycling with darling!
he got a flat halfway through..thank god we had a spare tube and anyhow the hole of the tube was too big to patch..that must have been a hard bash on a rock when he went down hill..

okay..its 12 midnight now...i have to get some shut eye..
another week of emails...
