sPlisH sPlasH sWim

Sleepy's aching a little after goin swimming w Dar last nite... we swam 10 laps in all taking short breathers in between. Kinda chilly to swim @ nite n intially i was reluctant to get into the water. But as Dar said, after immersing for a while the body would get used to the temperature :)

me like to swim, guess it is from the swimming lessons fr young and perhaps also due to the fact that my parents used to bring me swimming every week when I was young. But stopped going when I was older coz pampered me hates bathing in public toilets!!! The floor seems so grimy and the cubicle is so miniscule dat it takes extreme skills to manuever inside. However the water was full of chlorine which is so so so damaging to my pretty tresses heh heh. Told Dar that I wanted 2 buy a swimming cap then he commented that it was v "aunty". but oh well... i really dun want my hair to become too dry so gota sacrifice something.

Hopefully i will haf the energy and the "determination" to swim more often heh heh. Thnk swimming's gd form of exercise as the whole body is being worked out and somehow i feel rather relaxed after the swim. :) hope to say byebye to my little tummy soon hee hee :P

Happy sLeePy

sLeePy is happy and touched as some of her frenz who r overseas haf agreed to come back to attend her wedding! yayee yayee!!! Although I know it is still early and it may be rather impossible for everyone to plan their schedule ahead, am still touched that they have agreed eagerly to come back! happee happee

N my bosses' leave has been extended so it looks like my carefree days are here to stay till the end of the week. Although there were some rather difficult cx I had to attend to but oh well... is part of my job lah. Sometimes wonder how lg i can tahan more here (although i m still happy n still not THAT many complaints) but after reading Mangojo and TBN's blog, i thnk i m still v lucky and blessed in my own working environment. :)

Relaxing Wkend

What a nice zuo bo wkend it has been... only had 1 tut yesterday compared to the numerous numerous lessons the weeks before and it was a rather easy lesson as it was just goin through sum papers in prep for O-Levels.

For once, I did wake up late on a Sat am (my body is tuned to wake up @ abt 720 everyday!) n could laze ard n had lunch b4 going for tut. Wanted 2 take a nap in the pm but ended up chatting w my gfs online so didnt. Had the time to try to finish my cross-stitch which is lg lg overdue and read my novels so I am q happy. Wanted to go shopping w Darling after work but he is knocking off late on both days so can't make it... sob... but as he always tell me, he is earning more $ so as to give me a more comfortable life! So sweet he is... Thanks my hubby darling!!!

Actually the past wk in office has also been kinda zuo bo coz I have been letting my trainee officer sit @ my position whilst I sit behind n enter fluff races, poke pp, send ice cream, fight werewolves/vampires/zombies etc on facebook! haha!!! It can be q addictive but like Mangojo said, some of the applications are a tad bo liao...

Anyways I will haf 1 more day of zuoboness before my boss comes back, afterwhich I will hafta resume my own position. But oh well, it has been a nice week (except on Fri where I had to do cash!!!) while it lasted :)))

Prank Calls

Recently there was a report about the high number of nuisance calls the police is receiving. And today there was an article about this pilot who called for pizza/KFC/burger and got it sent to his asst pilot's house as a prank. Actually heard this over the radio this am and found it v amusing as the DJs were bantering about whether it was something good or bad; coz the receiver would hafta pay for the delivery but if it juz so happens that the receiver was hungry, then it would have been like a miracle that food did truly appear on the doorsteps. :P

And toking about nuisance calls, have anyone else been getting calls from China Ladies about some survey thingy? Got 2 calls in office and received 1 on my hp 2day. My Cisco guard also got 1 on his Cisco phone ystd and he is a Malay. And yesterday, a cx called wanting us to prevent any withdrawals from her account. Wat hap was dat she received a call telling her that she has won a prize in a lucky draw in JB and they wanted 2 credit her a/c w the $ and thus she has given the pp her a/c. We advised her to close the account if she felt unsafe but then she ask, then wat happens if it is a real case and if she closes the account, the money could not be credited!!! Umm... well, to me, that is just a risk u hafta take and besides, there is no free lunch in this world mah.

So everyone, be wary of such calls and Mangojo, rem 2 provide the rite address when u call for delivery ah. I dun mind the food provided u haf paid for it already LOL!

The Verdict

Just found out that my maid was jailed a total of... 3 weeks for her thieving actions. Too little??? I thot so... considering that the maximum sentence would be 7 YEARS!!! 3 weeks seemed like such a short time esp as I mentioned that she was unrepentent and was not guilty @ all. But then again, we did kinda help to plead for leniecy so perhaps that's why the sentence was shortened.

We didn't even know that she has been deported back (although she did call up some time back n told my Dad dat she was @ ICA but my Dad didnt know whether to believe her) until my Dad received a letter from MOM stating that he has breached the bond n that he would hafta pay a fine of $5000!!! He was shocked coz we thought the police mentioned that they would help to inform MOM but apparently they didn't. And MOM wanted a letter stating that the maid was in custody but the police claimed that they do not issue such letters so he was sandwiched in between. Ultimately, the police did give us a letter which stated that she had been jailed for 3 weeks and subsequently all matters were resolved.

Glad the whole thing is over although for a while I kept imagining her sitting on my bed when I came back home @ nite... it was THAT eerie!!! I just hope she has hopefully learnt her lessons and do not cause nitemares to future employers. Better yet, hope she just remains in her village and not get to work overseas anymore!

Booked =)

For the eagerly anticipated to pen down:
Date: 1st Day of the 8th Lunar Month (go figure :P)
Venue: Rasa Sentosa

Was actually wondering whether to hold it on the 1st day of the 8th Lunar Month coz it means that we would hafta haf everything settled b4 the 7th month which might be kinda rush esp since the 2 of us r such HUGE procrastinators!!! Dar actually preferred the June date but I liked this date coz it is near our bdays mah! hee... My excuse for a triple celebration in future :))

As for e venue, some of the venues we wanted either didnt have the date we want or were too small, so we finally decided on Rasa albeit the fact that the older folks (like my Dad) would find it a tad inconvenient n that the banquet manager is not v gd. But then Dar n I r q "beachy" pp n though it wld b nice 2 haf it outdoors, we thot it would be too humid n there wldnt be enuff time to mingle w everyone. Besides, I was telling Dar, we can hopefully take some pics there b4 the dinner so we can save 1 place to go during our photoshoot :P

Talking of photoshoot, went to the small Bridal Fair @ Marina last Friday. When we walked into the foyer, we were immediately "attacked" by the staff of the bridal salons!!! Sat dwn 2 see some packages but they were all like only having specials for these 3 days only. Oh well whatever, they didn't really impress me a lot (did see some nice photography n some nice gowns that the salons have), and some of their attitudes totally suck!!! Maybe I can put in my 2 cents worth in the bridal forum too!
