Went for the massage yesterday and lost abt 7.5cm overall. Almost each area lost abt 0.5 cm.
Felt really embarressing though throughout the experience. I mean, kindda weird to be almost totally naked in front of someone you dunno though its for a massage and someone taking your measurements almost everywhere. *blush blush*
It started with a 20mins manual massage, followed by 20mins using a machine which uses current. Massage part not too bad, but don't really like the machine part, probably cos I'm not used to it. After the session, got persuaded to take up the package. Arghz... Spend money again, sob sob. Total package after discount cost me ard $882, paid $582 first, balance of $300 to be paid. Sigh. Really really broke liao ah. Was so afraid that Darling will nag at me, but he didn't, just very calmly asked me how much I spent. Think he expected that I sure genna persuaded and sign up for package bah. Sigh...
Haiz, dun wanna think abt it first liao... Better plan when to go for my next session first bah.

Though I managed to leave early on most of the days, but this week has been kindda lousy. Lots of shitty customers basically and lots of trouble. Arghz. Had my performance appraisal with boss liao, nothing really bad or serious, still not too bad that someone knows I have been working hard at least. Dunno got increment or not? Wahaha. Doubt so bah cos I just got confirmed not long ago, sigh...
Went to get my manicure and pedicure done on Thursday, kindda pamperng myself though I'm seriously broke. =( See many nice clothes but gotta control and wait till I get pay. Moreover, mummy's b-day coming le. Sigh, everything also need $$$. Went to Orchard with Janet after work today and got a free makeup form Clinique, haha. Actually trying out the products lah, the eyeshadow and blush seems ok, dunno ex or not.
Feeling really tired recently, eyes like gonna close anytime. Honestly, dun like mascara on my eyelashes. Somehow makes me feel uncomfy and my eyes feel damn dry and as if gonna close anytime. Hopefully can get good rest soon bah. Next mth beginning will be a long long week for me again. Sigh...

Brenbren at 11:21 AM
Haiz, tomorrow Monday liao. Though I had a long weekend, but dread gog back to Monday rush & craze. Went to Orchard yesterday to do some shopping. Bought a top for my sis from Mango, a thick warm jacket to keep myself from becoming frozen in office, a Hello Kitty pyjamas and finally a bag to use for work.
Am so sad man, my Fila bag handle broke, sob sob. Been using that bag for quite sometime liao and can no longer find it selling ard anymore. Went ard Orchard looking for the bag, before finally settling down on one at OG.
Went to Carrefour and bought some groceries and food to cook for today's dinner. Think I'll be cooking some porridge bah. Having a "blogger's block" now, wahaha, anyhow invent words, dunno what toblog leh. Shall up load my new bag's pic later, let me know nice or nt? Hehe.

To get a degree or not? Have been playing with this idea for a long time. Not just for the sake of adding on to my resume and expecting a higher pay, but really more of to learn more and know more and give myself more opportunites in the future. But seriously don't have the time and $ now to do this.
I dunno why too, but after since I decided to study logistics in poly, I have no regrets and never seriously thought of gog into another field. Its hard to explain, but something abt this field keeps me gog and after almost 3 yrs of working life (though the first 2.5 yrs in my 1st job was more of coordination), I still have the passion for it. True there's competition everywhere, but I feel that this is a good field to go into as there are so many areas in logistics.
Purchasing, import, export, supply chain, warehousing etc are all part and parcel of logistics. There are so many areas to explore and each area has loads of new things to learn and interesting in its way. I have done export - sea freight and now import - air freight. 2 totally different areas but still enriching. Almost everyday I learn something new, sometimes through the hard way too. I guess I'll still be in this line for quite some time and hopefully I'll be as still passionate as when I just started out.
Alright, back to the topic of getting a degree, I have side-tracked too much. =p Well, honestly, sometimes I feel really left out when I have gathering with my poly classmates cos almost everyone else is doing their degree and they are toking abt their sch work, courses and how long more to go etc. I mean, I'm happy for them and though I would really like to upgrade myself, but I have many constraints. Family, time, money and marriage/flat plans are some of the constraints I gotta face and its really not easy being in my family. Sometimes, I'm even afraid to meet up cos I don't seem to ever blend in. Everyone seems to be doing gd in their job and studies, while I'm like still struggling after 3 yrs. And there is the dreaded qns which I really don't wanna answer which is part of a past which I have put behind and really dun wanna mention anymore.
Guess I'm still insecure and self-conscious. I may look happy and confident, but I'm trying to put up a strong front actually. Maybe cos I'm used to that. Always trying to be/look happy cos I don't want frens to be worried abt me or spoil their moods. For now, I guess I can only just with the flow and cope with watever I can. Cos I'm really tired...

Yup yup, I'm on leave! Finally... After dunno how months of almost non-stop working, finally can have a long weekend, hehe. Gonna meet up with my ex-colleagues for lunch tmr and meet my darling after that. Probably go catch a movie or wat.
Went to do a bit of shopping after work today while waiting for him to meet for dinner. Bought the Loreal's new foundation, nail polish and lip gloss. Cost me abt $50 and got a few free gifts for spending more than $45. I got 2 different masks, 1 was whitening mask and the other was anti-ageing mask (don't think I need it yet), 2 small tubs of day cream and night cream and 1 full bottle of cleansing milk. Seems really worth it loh. Got the membership card also which you can earn 1 stamp for every $30 earned. So if anyone is buying Loreal products from departmental stores, pls pass me the receipt if you don't want it. Hehe~
Tried the whitening mask just now and it was pretty ok. No sticky feeling like some masks, my skin feels smooth and moisturised now, found it a bit stinging initially though when I just put it on. Shall try out my new foundation and lip gloss tmr and perhaps a take pic to see if its good. Hehe. Alright, that's all for now. Gotta catch some beauty sleep soon. Night night~

I am so damn, bloody, f**king tired. I'm so sick of work, I hate doing OT, I hate spending so much on cab fare, I hate my irregular meals, I hate customers unreasonable attitude, arghz...
I hate having to slog like mad, I hate the endless pile of work, i hate my almost zero social life after getting this job, I hate losing my free time and I wanna leave on time!!!
Today's not a very good day, kindda down on my luck, feeling damn lousy after something at home. As if I don't have enough stress, troubles and problems. Damn it.

Enjoying my Lamb Shank at Fin!
Brenbren at 11:45 AM
Me with makeup on, face look slimmer in this posture? Haha
Brenbren at 11:15 AM
Had change of plans ytd. Went to PS to buy movie tix but found out that only front rows were left. Took a cab down to Marina Square to buy instead. Decided to watch "The Myth" at 6.55pm as that session has couple seats at the last row, hehe.
Since time was still early, we had abt 3.5hrs before the movie started, so we decided to have lunch first. Went to this
"Fin (by Blue Lobster) Seafood Cafe" which we had been wanting to try.
Really really nice, good, affordable food!! And surprisingly, they did not charge GST and service charge! In shopping centre somemore wor, think really few places which really do that. Seats were cosy (cushioned sofa) and service was good, food was served fast and hot.
We ordered 1 oyster each ($1.90 each only), he ordered fish & chips while I tried the lamb shank. Ordered a ice coffee and ice peach tea too. There was even a free dessert cos he used UOB card. Something called caramel vanilla ponacatta (can't really recall). Total bill = $30 nett!
The
oysters were very fresh and it did not leave a fishy aftertaste which some oysters do. Really smooth like it glides down your throat. The
fish & chips ($7.95) had a nice crispy batter which was not too thick/oily and the meat was thick unlike some places which u seem to be eating the batter only. The
lamb shank ($12.95) was tender and did not have lots of fat, the meat could be easily seperated from the bone, the gravy and mashed potato was a pleasant combination. The dessert was like a puddung covered with caramel and coconut at the bottom. It was not really to my liking though cos I don't really like sweet stuff, so the caramel was a tad too sweet to my liking and I don't like desserts with coconut.
Other than that, a perfect, filling meal which didn't cause a hole in the pocket. Yummy yummy!

I should be lying in bed now, but I dunno why I woke up out of a sudden at 7+am... Grrr... Having diarrhea again, sigh.
Was checking out my Friendster and got a sad news... My Playground is closing down and tomorrow is the last day. Sigh... I really think its a nice place and I had beautiful memories there while taking photos. Gonna miss that place so much. The people there are friendly and humours too. Sigh... Guess I'll drop by today if I can to take a last look and maybe take some pics for keepsake.
