Conversations With Ni Ke Le

I suddenly remembered this one day when I was at Serangoon Gardens bus stop talking to Nic. He suddenly said a fruit name in mandarin and we started this...

Me: Baby? How many fruits do you actually know in mandarin? Do you know what is 'xiang jiao'?
Nic: Banana?
Me: Good. Now I test you others. Mmmm...I say a fruit and you tell me what is it in mandarin ok?
Nic: OK *eager smile*
Me: What is strawberry?
Nic: *thinks real hard* ermm...I duno.
Me: Its called 'sui mi tao' (I was totally wrong. 'sui mi tao' = peach. Corrected him later)What about durian?
Nic: I know! 'lui lian'.
Me: So clever. *beams with pride* Erm...what about orange?
Nic: *pause for a long while* I know I know!! Its called 'O-LIN'!!!
Me: Baby!! *laughs out loud* Orange is not O-LIN. Orange is 'CHEN'. Where did you learn that from?
Nic: But all those aunty aunty all pronounce it that way.
Me: That is their english version of orange la sayang....
Nic: HAhahah :-)

Such a cutie la...

Last of my annual leave - Day Ten (LAST)

OMG...

I can't believe I had ten days off.
Not working.

OMG....

And I was so lazy, I keep putting off the things I want to do today, for tomorrow, and tomorrow comes, I have more things to do, and I put it off till tomorrow, and tomorrow comes and the whole process repeats itself again.

Actually, after Day Four, I had quite eventful activities. And there were loads of photos I took for blogging purposes, but the moment is gone....I'm too lazy now.

Day Five - I had house warming and mini-early-birthday-surprise at Karen and TC's place.
Day Six - I had breakfast with family and left to come back Singapore.
Day Seven - I had to renew my U.S. Visa.
Day Eight - Met up with Karine for early birthday treat.
Day Nine - Went to collect visa, got all dressy and had a surprise-early-by-one-day-birthday dinner with Nic and all my favourite friends.
Day Ten - Spent the whole day with my darling Nic cause he took off to purposely spend time with me on my birthday!

Yup. Today I turned 27. Not many twenties left for me....

I had great fun celebrating this year though. I love my family. I love Nic. I love all my friends too. Thanx to everyone for all the well wishes~

I'm back to work first thing in the early morning tomorrow. Hope I still remember how to work...

Last of my annual leave - Day Four

BLANK...

Last of my annual leave - Day Three

I haven't been anything much.

Woke up, had breakfast, went to visit Nic's mommy and little niece Hannah.

Now just sitting around replying my sis's MSN messages for her while she dictates.

Yesterday night was quite exciting. We had a mozzie competition. My mom, sis and me. The scores - Mom 1 - Sis 3 - Me 3.

Waahahahahaha~

I must be crazy.

Seven dead mozzies

I think I am going crazy....Too much free time and nobody to play with me...

Last of my annual leave - Day Two

I've totally finished my annual leave for this year. This is like my last batch of it. Right smack in the middle of the year. Middle of the year - ONLY. Damn. How am I gonna survive just on off days for the coming months till next year?

Didn't get to go anywhere this year for holiday. Screwed up the supposed holiday with Mandy. Mommy don't like the idea of traveling with the H1N1 influenza everywhere (more like she don't like the idea of leaving home with everyone unsupervised). Nic don't have any leave left till after July. Goody. *sigh*

So I'm back to feeding mozzies at home in KL. How super...

Me want a HOLIDAY SO BADLY....*pouts*

Day Three: I.M.I.N.N.Y.C.

Yupes~

I'm in New York City right now. Not one of my favourites cause I'm forever lost here. Can't make out which street is which, which avenue is which. The one time I finally get my bearings right, then we have to switch hotels. Oh well, but this hotel is so much more comfortable and I get free internet everyday. No complains I guess. Just go out and get lost.

But due to the H1N1 influenza, my family and loved ones have been excessively concern about my health. So, in order for them not to worry too much, I've been staying in most of the time. Just went out twice, to get food and water. Want to shop a little cause of the summer sales, but shopping is probably not the priority.

My sleeping time has been screwed too. I'm totally following Singapore timing here in NYC. Its 12 hours difference. I've been sleeping at NYC time 3pm and waking up at midnight each day. Thank goodness I'm leaving tonight. And now is probably about time I go and have my beauty nap.

Cheerios~

Its June already~

Its gloomy today in London.

I haven't been sleeping well the past few days. Keep waking up from weird dreams. Feeling so unrested after I open my eyes. Can't wait to return to my own bed in my own room. At least I know its perfectly comfortable there. Its kinda weird how attached you can be to a rented place you call home.

There has been so many unhappy things affecting people all around the world recently. The economic downturn, retrenchment, the H1N1 influenza, the missing Air France aircraft and so many others. I'm just mentioning these few because I feel more affected by these news. I never liked to watch news on tv or read them on the newspapers. Always unhappy stuff.

I have been busy transporting myself in and out of different countries recently. Not something I like, but if I don't do, I won't be earning anything. Friends and family have been quite worried about all the traveling I have to do. But seriously, every job has its job hazards.

Its already mid year. I can't believe how fast time flies. I'll probably be writing a similar blog entry in another few months and say its almost end of the year.

I want to play a board game.
I want to go for a trip.
I want to draw.
I want to spend a whole day doing nothing.

I want to be random before the year ends...
