Holiday's Over!

Hi guys...Gong Xi Fa Cai! CNY Holiday's over here in Sg and it's back to reality...opening loads of emails, jotting down appointments and schedules, racing on deadlines..gosh! Therapy? Just say "I love my job" 100x every morning when you start to sit on your desk and face your monitor.

Well, had fun spending the Chinese New Year Holidays with Ate and some of our friends here. started just last Saturday until yesterday- 4 long days of work-free atmospehere, yipee!

Saturday- Ate and I went to stroll at West Mall. I bought her a bag as my Christmas promise, and I bought a new pair of shoes (contradicts 1 of my new year resolution of less shopping, huhuhu)....Then we had lunch at Pastamania with their Holiday Combo of Pasta, large-size drink and a mouth-watering apple crumble.yummy! worth every single cent we paid. And then I was magnetized with this iPhone thing when we learned that there is a Hello! Singtel shop just beside Pastamania...In my 3 months of stay here in Bukit Batok and 3 months of in and out of West Mall, now only that I knew there is one here..gosh!..well it's located at the back..not really inside the mall, I think you can guess what happened next...

Sunday- It's Ate's dayoff and she has not been to Sentosa ever since her arrival here in Sg last August so why not spend the eve of CNY in Sentosa. We went there with 2 of our friends. A perfect timing because Sentosa was also celebrating it's 2009 Flower Festival. Great landscape, colorful, vibrant flowers all around the whole recreational park. Of course, we visited some attractions like Images of Singapore ( while other visitors were reading history details of Singapore inside the museum, we were busy capturing photos of ourselves in different displays and in different angles...hehehe, i like the bluish night concept pictorials we did!) Sky Tower and the Merlion. and immersed ourselves to 4D Magix, Luge and Skyride adventures. We stayed there until night wrapping the whole experience with the amazing Songs of the Sea show, not to mention the pictorials galore everywhere, hehehe....

Monday- supposed to be trekking and nature tripping at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve but we were dead tired from our Sentosa escapade so decided to just stay home. A couch potato the whole day watching Heroes Season 3 episodes and other dvd movies like Atonement, Devil Wears Prada, Sweeney Todd:The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and The Other Boleyn Girl.

Tuesday- A BBQ cum get-together party with my ex-Crown friends in our poolside here in Parkview. The pool water was blue and inviting so we all splashed in it!

and now it's over..Holiday's over...back to the real world of work stress, should I say. But at least we had break once in a while, and I think we should all manage to have breaks from work, or else, you'll end up staring blank in the mental cell. Just make your time balanced for everything.
