AISHITERU!!!
It's another typical Tuesday (can't believe its only the 2nd day of the week!) and I'm comfortably stationed in front of my PC with my facial mask on, HEROES video streaming (taking its own sweet time) and savouring my craze of the moment; Japanese Cheesecake!
Now now, do let me emphasise that I'm not just another sweeth-tooth who loves cheesecakes. Cheesecake generally, be it Oreo Cheesecakes, Blueberry Cheesecakes, and whatever flavour there is. Never been a fan of cheesecakes myself due to horrifying experiences when the cheesecakes tasty like solidified soured cheese.
BUT the one that's slowly melting inside my mouth is different! Its Japanese Cheesecake from Ichiban Sushi and tastes so so so heavenly that I decided to buy the whole cake home after sharing a slice with him. What's half a slice man, definitely not enough for my bottomless pit.
I do really need to reward myself after a mental war at work today. Arggh! Can't stand office politics, waggling tongues and selfish minds. Of course, I'm always the loser when it comes to these areas. Shall just treat myself to a teeny weeny slice of cheesecake for now. So much for my detox resolution. =( At this rate, my tummy is gonna surpass the current inflation rate and beat Japan soon. Come on, Grace, buck up!
Today's Reflection:
Reddish inflammed skin
New pimples on my T-zone
Disgustingly limp hair
Unhealthy diet (1 coconut kueh, 1 Hakka Niang Tou Fu, Home-cooked dinner, 1 slice of cheesecake & 1 extra bowl of soup, 1 Peach Red tea, 1 Lipton tea)
Gawd! How to detox like that?!?! And as I'm typing this out, my mind keeps drifting to the remaining 3/4 cheesecake in my fridge...

OKAYS! ITS HEROES TIME!

Yea! and I'm finally back with peeksures! Been pretty busy in my attempts to adjust back to Singapore's fast-paced life ever since I went to peaceful serene Bintan and slogging my guts out at work. Past few weeks have been quite stressful as my daily transactions aren't meeting our pre-set quotas, not to mention being irritatingly reminded of it daily. Grr..
Caught Alien VS Predator II!
Upon my dar's insistence to catch this film, i finally relented and dar went to purchase the tix early at Golden Village. I'm not a fan of such shows where there's freaky monsters/aliens and disgusting gooey, corrosive greenish substance bursting out every now and then. However, decided to give it a chance since AVP was quite good. But you know how the sequels always turn out worse than the first.
And well, what can I say about AVP II? There was no plot, and of the entire 86-minute show, 50 minutes were filmed in semi-darkness with occasional laser flashes and torch-beams. If you're like me who always cannot differentiate the various monsters, this is worse, with a Predalian dueling with his twin brother, the Predator. Yesh, the original alien from first AVP evolved to a Predator-like Alien. Meaning this Predalian has the Predator's signature Rasta hair! I'm totally fine with sci-fic films, but not one like this! It's a far-cry from movies like Star Wars and War of the Worlds etc. Duh.
On a lighter note, my baby got himself a hair cut, FINALLY! And he looks fresher and younger, and of course cuter now. Couldn't resist taking snap shots of him.
Awww...blogging about him makes me miss him more! But he's in lalaland now, probably snuggled up in this fantastic cooling night climate.
I'm posting all my peeksures of the past month in this entry to save time and space! Heh heh.
YinSing's Xmas Concert by Common Voices
Bestie YinSing invited us to her xmas mini-concert at the Arts Museum held by her choir group, Common Voices! It was a cosy performance held in a chapel-like hall with frost-paned glass, white benches and dim chandelier lightings.
Baby was the photographer! He stubbornly refused to be caught by the camera that day, giving the excuse that he's camera-shy.
We also managed to get our butts to K-box's ladies night to croon out favourite hits all night long!
The pictures are really very back-dated, do pardon me.
Really hope that this year's gonna be a better one for both of us. 2007 was a tough one with much suspensions, trust issues and frustrations. I'm really glad we managed to tide all that out though and thank you, dear, for tolerating me thus far. I know I have'nt been in the best of my moods lately and getting quite impatient. One does get more pessimistic and short-fused as one ages (hitting 21 this May!). Reading at all other blogs make me feel lonely all of a sudden. I have'nt been a good friend these days (or the past year?) and missing alot of things out. If given the chance, I would love to revive the good old times with my friends. Realy miss hanging out, chit-chatting, having slumber parties, steamboat dinners, karaoke-ing, beaching, shopping with them and the list goes on. Feeling so emotional and addicted to this song called Apologize by Timbaland.

Endured the ardous 2-hour ferry trip! Followed by an intidimating experience at the run-down Bintan ferry terminal and another 15 minute bus-ride through the streets of Bintan.
Our First Stop, where we were ushered to the lobby area and were served chilled sweet-tasting lychee drinks and cold towels.
Finally reached our destination after another 15-minute ride! 3D 2N at the Agro Beach & Spa Resort! Whoawee! Island-life!!
On our way to check in. Boy, were'nt we lucky! We were initially escorted to a room on the 2nd floor with a miserable window view and were quite disappointed. As we noticed that the 1st floor rooms came with a sae-view balcony, we immediately asked whether any of them were available. The resort staff was kind enough to check for us and tada! Managed to get a spacious room with a huge verenda looking over the vast blue sea.
After hearing horror stories of how bad and expensive the food at Bintan is, we brought our very own larder of cup noodles, canned food, potato chips and sparkling juice. Did not have much activities on our first day as we were suffering from 'ferry-lag'. Had a snooze, ate cup noodles at the verenda and watched some TV.
After our snooze and thrifty meal, we decided to drop by the resort's signature Kelong Restaurant. Pictures of da beautiful Kelong later!
Day Two
Buffet Breakfast at the resort's outdoor restaurant. Quite exceeded my expectations, I must say. The aromatic brewed coffee, the luscious mango juice (not diluted at all), savoury fried banana nuggets and not forgetting, their pipping hot chicken porridge! Yummy!
Couldn't resist a dip in the tempting pool to work off the calories after breakfast. The pool was only a few steps from our room, shiok! I must applaud the attentive staff, for bringing us long thick towels once they spotted us coming out of the pool. 5-star service!
Posing against the beach
We are so sporty, we can even play volleyball without a ball and oppenents. =P
Did some exploring beyond the beach and look what we found! Private thatched cottage-like houses! Just like what I imagined from my childhood fairytales... How I wish there is such a place to stay in Singapore.
Felt thirsty and decided to order a gargantuan coconut to quench our thirst.
We spotted these!
So overwhelmed by the raised little huts with their straw-roof tops that we immediately signed up for a 1-hour aromatherapy massage.
Our massage parlour with a scenic view of the clear blue sky and sea. 
Dinner at the Kelong Restaurant
Dining with a spectacularly breath-taking view. Being the typical kiasu native Singaporeans, we had already reserved our table plus dishes the night before, muahahaha!
A satiating meal at only S$38.50! The perfect finish to a fun-filled day. Blissful!
A cosy corner tucked behind the Kelong restaurant, ideal for nature-lovers to breathe in the fresh sea air and listen to the soothing sea waves splash against the strategically positioned rocks.
Totally missing every bit of Bintan. From their sunny yet windy weather, tasty cheap food, right down to the friendly resort staff.

a Sunday affair
Its a distorted relationship with Sundays. One that's jumbled with love and hate both. I'm almost intidimated by Sundays, them with their impetuous sunny weather which induces an adrenaline rush or the dense windless humidity that urges one to hide her air-conditioned room. Which is why I almost always sleep in on Sundays; that way i get to skip half of the speculation of how my day is gonna turn out. Great! But today, had to literally dragged my torso, limbs and everything else to work. Sunday gives me the creeps. I can never ascertain whether i'm going to be productive or dawdling at work. Ye may ask, why specifically Sunday??? Well, Monday blues is already a well-shared fact/ Tuesdays and Wednesdays are just fleeting moments of the week which aint that memorable cause you're mostly trying to get the most winks. One feels an energised fervor on Thursdays, knowing that its the 2nd last day of the week. I guess its needless to describe Fridays, with their bestowed denims and casual dress codes.
But I just wanna say 'thank you', for turning my Sunday around. =)

Introducing the...
The Material Girl & her KaiZhi
After much primping I must have really looked like I'm some bloodthirsty sucker. Even the middle-aged waitress at the cafe advised him to save and not order that much food. The original order: 2 Iced Lemon teas, 1 Hotplate combo, 1 Nissin noodles, 1 mini-drumsticks platter and 1 french toast. Yummy yummy!!! What's so many people gathered around for?! Top One KTV - The Ice World Karaoke lovers out there! Ya can't miss this out! This 6-storey ktv sprawling throughout the ex-Icon building has 6 or 7 different themes for each floor; Grandeur, Imperial, Ice World, Anna Sui and the likes. We were lead into Ice World where the deco was made up of chilled glass-lookalikes. They even have like different lightings to create different ambiences! Like Disco lighting for hippy fast songs or Stage Lights for the soothing love songs! Check out this "Ice-block" table! We ordered chilly frozen drinks to adhere to the theme. US Love this floral dress from TopShop! <
A bouquet of dainty pink roses
passed from his hands to her fingers,
their bond dwindles.
A brush against her flushed cheeks,
and a whiff of his cologne,
both hearts skip a beat.
