Thursday.
28 Oct 2010.

went for our additional pool session last nite.
well...
it seems tat i'm still having the nausea issue.
thank goodness, i wasn't feeling too full.

otherwise i guess history would have repeated itself.
i think breathing the gas mix from the cylinder for
more than 1 hr is taking a toll on me?

i have no idea man.
tmr's off to tioman.
i'm starting to miss baby...
i feel so bad for leaving him alone =(
esp over the wkend.
twice a mnth.
sorry baby.

although you've mention upteen times that it's okay.
but then i know u'll be bored.
can't help.
sighs.

good luck to me yeah?
one more blog tmr before i blog again on monday.
prob with more updates on the trip
and hopefully back in 1 piece...
haha. sorry... *touchwood*
yeah. tat's about it.

can't help feeling very friday today.
i guess the effect of having a dress down friday
really makes a lot of difference...
good. i like it this way. =)

i finished the report!!!

yay!
it took me the whole morning.
kinda drained my eyes a bit...

am going for additional pool session this evening.

hope everything will run smoothly.
no more throwing up pls!!!!!

i really hope so.

2 more days to tioman.
my heart is... racing.

Tuesday.

Met up wif dazi, unplanned to collect the monitor.
it was dazi's mommy's bday.
they had crabby dinner at my block.

Happy Belated Birthday Auntie!
May good health and wealth prosper with you.

waited for baby till nearly 9pm.
had late dinner at Din Tai Fung.
Xiao Long Bao is <3
i love their fried rice and chicken soup too.
i was kinda famished so i forgotten to take pictures.
haha.

let's hope he'll be back earlier tonight!

i logged in to blogger.com
but left the page hanging for an hour.
cos i was searchng for newspaper articles...

well it's monday.
i'm tired.
very tired.

went for theory class on sat.
we bought our basic equipment...
the mask... the snorkle and the band aid (minimize hair loss when wearing and removing mask...)



Playing with my mask...



Baby playing with my mask & snorkel... haha



slpt super late on sat night..
like 3am?
woke up at 7am on sunday
for breakfast with baby and then off to Outram Sec Sch.

for the long awaited pool session...
it was... really tiring.
pretty much okay until after lunch.

i think i suffered from oxygen toxicity...
caused i vomitted twice... real bad.
i googled this morning to search for the cause and came out with this:

OXYGEN TOXICITY

Pulmonary effects (can occur at atmospheric pressure; threshold about 0.6 atm. O2)

burning sensation on taking a deep breath
cough
pneumonia
permanent lung damage
Central nervous system effects (requires pressures above atmospheric; threshold about 1.3 atm. O2)

muscular twitching
vomiting
dizziness
vision or hearing abnormalities
anxiety, confusion, irritability
seizures

more info: http://www.lakesidepress.com/pulmonary/books/scuba/gaspress.htm

well it resulted me in having a hard time to carry on.
the feeling didnt subside until night.

i zonked out after i reached home...
woke up at ard 7 plus.
went for dinner at geylang later at nite with baby.
and went to Kent Ridge Park for 'lomantico'...
it has been quite a while since we last had such session.
so sweet of baby. <3

anyway, i got a new towel for swimming/travel!


Thank you Joey & Benson!
all the way from HongKong... i'm so happy!

gonna slp early tonite

i'm nervous...

random note... i bought this old school candy:



3 for 10 cents then.
this pack cost me a dollar now...

Woops!

Sorry for missing out yesterday.
was a lil' hectic near to the end of the day.
hence, i forgot totally to blog.

and it's TGIF today!!!!
Yeah... like finally another Friday is here.

the haze out there is bad...
very genting except for the humidity.
sighs.
i jus recovered from my cough.
but it's back again. thanks to the haze.

somehow somewhat, i have no idea why i can't connect to my mobile connect anymore
i was still happily using it on Mon and Tue.
Wed on, i can't... sighs.
gonna try it at home tmr and see wat's the prob.
is it the device or the network here?

i'm kinda excited cos tmr, am gonna see my dazi alrdy.
we're gonna have theory lessons together.
it has been eons since we went for lessons together.
and sunday's gonna be pool session...
nervous!

Mid Week!

I'm still mugging...
looking forward to the weekend for the theory class.
and have to say sorry to baby to leave him alone for the whole morning
while i go for my pool session.

i have no idea what's going on with my body.
apparently, i get slpy easily.
i tend to feel tired quite early too.
let's hope it's all temporary.

baby called earlier and told me he was kinda stressed at his job.
he's still very new to his work
but the he's already on his own doing measurements.
and he isn't quite good tat that too.
i'm not feeling too good about this.
but then, sometimes, a lil' stress can put one up to the test.
let's hope he'll be able to manage things well enough.
after all... it is only day 20 since he started work there.
Why so stressed?

Everybody makes mistakes and learn.
don't worry, i'll be with you. <3

Tuesday. 19 Oct 2010.

not much happenings since 18 Oct 2010.
cept for the fact that i tried taking the circle line home. =)

i would say, yes it's ridiculously much faster for the train to reach bishan.
but from bishan to amk, it's hectic.
the train is horribly JAMMED PACKED.
i had to wait for the 2nd train to try my luck squeezing in.
but still, faster than the buses i supposed.

but the same set back is the waiting for buses at AMK interchange.
the waiting time seems to be forever this long! =S
in the end, i reached home about the same time.
It's okay. imma gonna try again tonite.
and we shall see. =)

Random:


A plate of appetizing looking food... with Orchid display.
it's actually, cereal calamari. from the Tze Char stall under my block.
not bad... tastse sweet... but a lil' tad too oily.
3.5 stars out of 5.

in case you're wondering, we had this dish on friday with dazi, bin and baby.
after the search of schools.

But i'm sick as well.
I guessed i caught a flu in Redang.

Well it was an awesome experience...
and baby managed to excuse himself (sorry baby)
to send me off. <3

My very first snorkeling trip, diving trip, banana boat ride and trip to redang.
Yes, it's beautiful there.
nice...

I guess i won't be able to type out the full experience here.
so, i'm gonna post some pics... and try to summarise the whole trip =)


Merang Jetty in Malaysia, where we waited for the Ferry to Laguna Redang...



Stalls along the road at the jetty area...


Driveway to carpark/toilet...
a relatively clean toilet (surprisingly) but pretty dark...

We departed SG on Wed night from Golden Mile at 10pm.
The entire bus ride was bumpy. but FAST.
we reached Merang Jetty at 8am. but we had to wait as the ferry will only be here at 9.30am.
so we did some mini 'shopping' at the stalls...

we reached Redang Island after an hour...
had a briefing on the activities etc and went to the lobby to check in...


some open field area at Laguna Redang...



'Sea Turtles' at the coffee tables reminding tourists not to collect turtle eggs/catch them...



Our room... 404.


View from our room... Seaview <3

the momo tea hut was jus next to our resort.
view of it at nite...




The recreation centre at night...

We went diving on the first day.
my very first diving experience, carrying an oxygen tank...
NICE...

My first babana boat ride in the evening.
FUN. seriously it's fun. but falling into the 30M deep sea at about 7pm is pretty scary too! hahaha.
cos we aren't wearing any goggle.
we can't see anything at all! haha. but it's really pretty fun. =D

Snorkeling trip on the 2nd day.
3 snorkles.
1 at the Marine centre, 1 deep sea where i got bitten by a fish. =(
but first time seeing sea turtle in the sea!
first time seaing sting ray below us.
it's really like... swimming with the turtles.. nice...
and the last snorkle...
was a private one invited by the staff there..
to the big sea... where we saw more sea turtles.
giant goupa and... SHARK!

these pics are from snorkeling at the Marine centre...







We went to see the 'blue sand' at nite.
it's something which we can't catch on camera...
simply because, it's a small lil' sand particle that is being found in the sand.
and it glows in blue light.
TOTALLY AWESOME and BEAUTIFUL.
but it dies out after awhile =(

but really an eye opener.

Surprise from Buddy was something which i had never expected.
thank you so much da zi.
like wat i've told you...
God sent me an angel and that angel is you. <3

Tonite.

it's tonite!
i'm looking forward to the trip.
yes i should be feeling excited.

yes. i mus be excited.

1st visit to Redang.
1st snorkeling experience.

I must enjoy myself!

baby.
i really do miss you even now.
i guess i'll miss you even much more when i'm there.

i really hope i can see you tonite before i board the bus.

your love is really my drug.

What can I say.

I can't help but miss you so much.
Transport home on my own.
i can do it.
but my heart can't help.
so does the mind.

i miss you so much.

especially when you told me you've got meeting tomorrow...

i miss you even more.
can't see you before i go off for 3 days.
i dun really like that. =(

it has been a kinda busy weekend!

Happy belated birthday to Pammie.

Friday nite was the start of home on my own.

Yes, i really miss him much.
good thing he came back slightly past 8pm.

we had dinner together still.

Sat, baby went to work.
while i met dazi out.
again poor baby worked till 6 plus in the evening.
then we had dinner together.

we headed for the boiler room at night.

the night ended at around 4 for us.

Sunday...

we went to tampines for Wee Lee Brothers Nasi Lemak.
and source for Yoa's birthday pressie.
I almost forgotten about it! Haha.

there was Isetan sale going on and hence, we spotted this friggin awesome comfy pillow...

and tadah!


New pillow for the night is <3

we bought along some kuehs before heading down to Aloha Loyang.
Went for 'The Gathering'...
Gosh. Freaking awesome.
whole lot of good food and fun!
playing is water for them is seriously fun.
haha although i didn't manage to get to the pool
but i still had fun and got semi wet.
water balloons are fun too.
it's super fun to watch them getting wet from sabotages 'from the back'
or hiding behind the wall.

i'm kinda tempted to do it too for my bday. geez.. haha.
<3

and baby made this from the balloons sissy gotten for me:


Thank you baby. I Love You. <3

HELLO!

I'm back!

It's a short work week.
Cos i was on 3 days leave.. to nowhere, but our own world which belongs to the 2 of us. <3

My leave started on Monday night, after 6pm.
but we didn't go anywhere at all!

Tuesday, we went to JB despite the rain.
Baby needs to service his bike.
Although it was kinda boring at first.
but things got better after we proceed to Holiday Plaza.
Haha. we didn't walk around much.
had late lunch then went to do my nails.
baby went for massage and hair cut while waiting for me.

i got the normal mani and pedicure.
but got simple nail art for my toes. HEHE.



After that we went back to the bike shop, had dinner, washed the bike and went back SG.
Met up Dazi to pass her some kueh bahulu bought from Holiday Plaza.
and headed home thereafter.

That's for Tuesday.

Wednesday was like a Dating day for us.

We headed to bugis for lunch. before that...



Pink is <3

We headed for Nandos cos both baby n i were still having that tender chicky feeling.
but the thing is.. although without crowd, the service is still not quite acceptable.


my share. i had potato salad this time...


his share with spice rice this time.
spice rice pretty much taste like bryani though. HAHA.


this is nice! the Apple soda or sparkling apple drink.

I tried the Ice Chocolate. it's very much diluted to my dismay. =(

anyway, during lunch, we came up with a plan for the day.

- Lunch @ Nandos
- Movie @ Iluma
- Scout for Jeans @ Bugis
- Dinner @ unknown
- Boiler

haha. we pretty much followed the schedule... we caught:



at Iluma, 4.30pm. It was a pretty nice show.
Donnie Yen is sucha eye candy. seriously.

Manage to take some pictures from level 5 of iLuma...





can u see MBS?

after movie, we were 'hunting' for jeans cos baby was wearing Berms.
so finally gotten our jeans at $33 per piece from Giodarno,
we went for dinner at Ajisen while waiting for alteration.

Off to Boiler we go... but who knows.
plan changed after that.
we swopped to Bar None after 1st set.

Left for home at about 2am.

That's it for Wednesday!

Finally, last day of leave. =(
Thursday.

We went to AMK for lunch.
Before heading out, baby said something which really melted me max.
He usually likes to spray perfume for me... so yesterday,
while doing so, i literally asked him:

Baby, how long more are you going to be spraying perfume for me?

His reply: For the rest of my lifetime, till i'm gone.

Aww... tat's not the end... he paused and then said:

Eh! no! you have to go first. You know why? Cos then I can take care of you till you are gone...

Me: .... uber touched.

*hugs*

We headed out shortly after the perfume spraying. lol.
Had Astons. then gave GF a lil' surprise visit.
haha. we headed out of home quite late due to the rain.
went to Tampines Mall thereafter to get Pammie's present.
then off to Chinatown to meet up wif Dazi and the gals.

Confirm and settled on our Redang trip.
Went to scouting for bikini and had dinner at bugis.
the night ended quite early.

but we both slept at nearly 1am.
but damn boy was barking. so we ended up slping at nearly 2am.

Baby's off at his new work now.
Just hung up the phone with him.
He says, it's not too bad for now.
so... let's hope all's good...

and i really do miss him. <3
