burp....

Cant sleep now although its 1am....sigh...tomorrow panda eyes again and maybe dull skin? somemore got meeting with customer. but how to sleep with a full stomach. just went for a buffet a la carte dinner at tung lok......pretty good food but now feeling so je-lat. i guess my system is not so used to a big oily meal like that.
sometimes i wonder where cantonese pple get their appetite from? i realised in HK, all of them finished every single thing on the plate. seldom left over...and their portion is big compared to spore. already the best item on the buffet was a mini buddha jump over the wall...and that was like a big bowl. then followed by wasabi prawns, chilli or steam crabs, cod fish.......ahhh.....too much food already. but maybe its just me, cuz most pple can eat.

somemore today colleague said my face is fatter. my town colleague that is who haven seen me for about 2 mths or so. happily i thot i have lost some weight cuz now desk bound, i really try to eat less and walk as much when i can. but seems it doesnt work.....still moving around in sales and eating a lot i looked thinner. sigh...maybe i am one of those who drink air or water also can get fat. no wonder sammi cheng said before her concert tour she only eat air!! no choice, she also that type eat a bit more face like a pig immediately.

i guess i have to live with it......actually before my colleague made this comment, i felt quite good and confident....maybe i did grow fatter but i didnt know but still confidence is there....and thats good. but now its sort of affected... :( sic

oh well, prob i have to do more exercise. last week company held this bowling event where everyone must go.....well got point system....ok it was pretty fun after all....and to think i prob bowled like 3 times in my life...i bowled pretty well. at least top20....haha!
there is this outstanding colleague that grabbed the 2nd position. seems this fellow is good at everything! almost perfect.....quite unbelievable sometimes, good at few other sports, things like go kart, wakeboard , snowboarding, snooker........ is intelligent, rich and pretty good looking and bosses respect this person too......i wonder what kind of breed this of people are made of? maybe rich people just get better and better and poor ones just sometimes get worse and worse.....mmmm...unfair world....actually most of the sportsmen in spore all come from rich families. got $$ to cultivate probably.

of course there are also those rags to riches stories...but they dun come by easily.

sigh...just tried to play the CD my sis got from her friend on Millionaire's First Love with hyun bin inside....cannot leh! thought can see already....

still feeling je-lat.....alamak....

Comfort

Finally finally.....i took the "plunge" and bought myself a Descamps pillow case and bed sheet! this is crazy....i have been hovering around the Descamps counter for a while....seriously its been about 18 mths since i saw that nice pillow case with beautiful red flowers in Nice-Galaries Lafayette....was quite excited to see the brand here in spore and even that nice design but the shocking price of $119 for a pillow case is too much to handle!

anyway, luckily last week, they had a big discount....could see that the stock packaging was quite old due to the high prices...but lets face it Sporeans are practical pple. that red flower pillow case was still there. maybe 3 pieces left. Sales promoter told me some french pple here get so excited seeing the brand here and will start yakking happily in french! they are the main customers. and also some HK tourists.

i am happy that i am enjoying every moment with this new found "luxury" ....the cotton is somehow smooth and nice and cooling. its not egyptian cotton but the french being french of course have to use 100% french stuff! ......bought a feather pillow too......esp for neck. havent been sleeping well for quite a while. nearly bought a Tempur pillow but decided to try a cheaper version first which is find a "hotel type" pillow. the sales promoter understood exactly what i meant and gave me a "hotel" pillow. its 40% duck feathers and 60% down feathers or the other way round. something like that....and cover must be egyptian cotton so its smooth and cool. so far ok....sleep has improved. realised sleep is now very important esp when we have stressful work and aging skin....... so worthwhile to invest.
