Final thoughts:

Personally, i have to say this Christmas was one of the best Christmas i had so far. Not sure what exactly it was that makes it so special. Even though we did not really play much games this time round, it was still enjoyable. Maybe it's the surprise we prepared for Peanut(Hope she likes it!). The crazy things we did. The gift exchange. Or maybe it's the thrill of staying in Orchard area and walking past the "red light district". Wahahaa.. Just joking. Ultimately, i feel that despite not doing anything much in our hotel, at least we get to update each other about our life. It was only then that i realised i am missing out on many things that each of you went through recently. And these are the moments that are often hard to come by given that we have grown up, each busy with our own life. So yup, i am glad that the stay at the hotel was not totally wasted. At least we get to eat breakfast together right. Haha... Anyway, before i sign off, just wanna say thanks to you gals for trying your hardest to stay awake to listen to 'my ups and downs' while in the hotel that day. I hope everything will go smoothly for each of us, whether it's work, relationships, families or friends. Looking forward to our next gathering~ :)

5 Ridiculously Simply Health Boosters

“…that have nothing to do with diet or exercise

1. Open door. Go to park. British researchers recently found that strolling in a park reduced tension twice as much as walking indoors. Just eyeing pictures of nature has been shown to lower blood pressure and muscle tension within five minutes.

2. Dust off your uno deck. Bowling, sand-castle building, Scabulous - turns out games are more than fun. ‘Playing seems to improve immunity and help people rebound from illness,’ says Stuart Brown, M.D., who researches the health benefits of play.

3. Love your body more.In one recent study, women who liked their bodies (even if they were overweight) felt sick about 30 percent less often than women who wished they were thinner. ‘Feeling bad about yourself activates stress centers in the brain that can actually lead to disease,’ explains study author Peter Muenning, M.D.

4. Get to a pool and float. Recent Swedish research found that floatation therapy in a silent, water-filled tank can reduce pain and speed healing. Lying back in a quiet pool for 20 minutes could boost health too, says the study’s coauthor, Sven-Ake Bood, Ph.D.: ‘Floating produces a deep state of relaxation in the body.’

5. Hug someone.Cuddling, hugging or even just holding hands can trigger the release of oxytocin, ‘a hormone that has been shown to reduce stress, improve immune function and increase cardiovascular health.’ says James Fallon, Ph.D., professor of human behavior at the University of California, Irvine.”

so gals... start hugging today! wahahaha.. the games we play during our chalets and hotel stays actually improves our health! we must continue! hehe.

A collage of all the pictures we took that day.

Too many photos to post up here. I have uploaded all the pictures to kodak gallery. But i think now they require you to sign in if you wanna save the picture (click the yellow 'save these photos' button at the top of the slides to sign in). Hopefully you still remember your ID(email address, not sure which one you are using)) and password. Otherwise you will have to subscribe to it. Worse comes to worse, if you find it troublesome, i will upload it to facebook. So those of you who don't have facebook, again, still have to subscribe for it. So don't be lazy, subscribe! (Shit! Why do i suddenly sound like a promoter for these 2 services?)

Oh, here's the link:

My 'Interesting' Colleague and The Theme For My Birthday Celebration

Hey Nutos and Pau Sans,

I realised that I havn't been logging in for a while, ok 'many whiles', such that i can't even remember what's my password. Oh no! Is this the sign of pacing into old age?

Just to update you all. i'm well settled down in my job, very free also, such that I can finish reading the straits times everyday and still have time for business times. And shall I introduce an interesting character in my workplace. The qbqw face, it's not a code, qbqw = qiao bu qi wo.

Anticipated to see his face?

I don't have his photo lar, below is the nearest one I can find to rep him

Anyway, I prided myself as one who doesn't judge a book by its cover, is impartial and of high justice and definitely not a gossiper. wow... why am I so perfect? wahaha *dance around like an angel*

So, the point I wanna make is that I don't stereotype him as 'qbqw type of people' just bcos he got a qbqw face. I came to the conclusion that he belongs to the 'qbqw type of people' bcos he always shows the qbqw attitude. Sounds like reciting a poem hor.

Therefore, to show that I don't judge a book by its cover, am impartial and of high justice, not a gossiper and is apparently the only perfect mankind surviving on earth, allow me to relate those qbqw incidents.

*Btw, I forgot to say that my only flaw is that I'm very bhb, bhb=buey hiao bai. But, bhb is better than those qbqw ple ok!

Incident 1

1 day in the office

My Boss: You changed seat huh, this seat has got a nice view.

Me, the only perfect mankind surviving on earth: Yah. *smiles and tries to maintain a shu nu image in front of my boss*

QBQW Face, whose cubicle is beside me: Actually, I wanted that seat, but she says she wants to shift in. *and at the same time, shows me his signature qbqw face*

My Boss: haha. * gives me the 'So, you are not shu nu, only act shu nu' look and walks off.

U good, spoil my shu nu image. And this scenario repeated at least 3x when other colleagues realised I changed seat.

Incident 2

Me, the only perfect mankind surviving on earth walks back to my seat from lunch.

qbqw face: So, did you have lunch at the cafeteria again?

Me, the only perfect mankind surviving on earth: Yah, the food is very nice leh. Today got seafood soup and yam rice, it's my favourite and cheap also, can save money.

qbqw face: ..........* gives me the 'you are very cheapo cum his signature qbqw grin'*

Still got alot, but I can't remember cos I'm very forgiving and also don't judge a book by its cover, am impartial and blah blah blah. It doesn't help that I'm 'very free' and he's apparently very busy and very capable.

Oops, why am I diverting. This post is suppose to inform all nutos and pau sans about my birthday celebration theme. Oh no! i'm really getting old....mentally....but i'm still a shu nu ok!

Donut's Birthday Celebration Theme

Because I'm very free, I got time to think of the theme. Anyway, the theme is to imitate one member of our gang for a day. You must not only dress like the person that you are assigned, but you must also imitate the way they talk, their usual habits and all.

Below is the assignment.

1) Lian Rong Pau to imitate Donut

2) Donut to imitate Peanut

3) Peanut to imitate Coconut

4) Coconut to imitate Groundnut

5) Groundnut to imitate Da Pau

And lastly, Da Pau to imitate Lian rong Pau.

This will also be a test of how much you really know each member of our gang. You have a week to think of how you wanna portray the character. The time starts now :)

For those who are assigned to members with less distinctive traits, like Liang Rong Pau who has the difficult task of imitating me. Not to worry, we will give 'tong qing fen' so long as you show that you really tried your best. However, this also means that for people who got characters with very distinctive traits, like Da Pau who got the privilege of portraying Lian Rong Pao. Please make sure that you get your barangs barangs ready. Can borrow wig or get falsies and dress sexy sexy, ok? Or you can convince us why you are not dressing like we expect you to,haha. the point is that you have tried your best ok.

Lastly, the assignment of the characters is jointly brought to you by Peanut and me by random distribution. You may wish to swap the characters with one another, but cannot swap to your own character and tell me you wanna imitate yourself lar.

Also, winner will get a pressie from me, loser has to do a forfeit for me,hehe. we will vote to get the results at the end of the day.

So I cya all next weekend, eaither sat or sun. which day ure want? Let me know.
