Nice!

My mum got a new maid yesterday! Finally after all that choosing and waiting, my mum feels that she could not cope with the hsehold chores and decided to get someone to help her instead. So far so good. Now got someone to clean my toilet very good.. hee...

Lately was quite busy with work. A lot of things to settle and do as my boss is back. So after work, watch movies and laze ard with Lionel. Watched Dead Silence and Rush Hour 3 on Monday and Tuesday. I thought both were quite nice. A typical horror movie for DS and I personally enjoyed RH3 a lot. Very entertaining and amusing. Something to lighten your mood after work, enjoyable.

A lot of report to rush as it's the end of month, coupled with my boss's bad mood, it's really quite a sian week. She seems to suffer from post-trip blues and gets irritated easily. Though i did not get any scolding from her (heng), but some of my agents are not so lucky. Hope next week will be better.

Birthdays!

Celebrated a lot of birthdays this month - My dad, Lionel and My Brother. The important men in my life..hee.. So well I was rather broke this month buying presents and going out for meals.
This was Lionel's first birthday with me so I wanted to make it more happening and surprising but i was too uncreative to think of anything..Lousy me haha... Brought him to a nice little restaurant by the beach for dinner - Beach Culture@Pasir Ris Park, which resemble Cafe Del Mar at Sentosa. Had a grilled combo which consists of beef, lamb and chicken steak with a cheese sausage, coupled with a huge plate of fries. Enjoying the cool breeze of the beach, we ended off with a brownie ice-cream. Din take much photos as it was too dark and we did not have our camera with us.

The next day, his friends gave us a treat at the Manhanttan fish Market at Central. Had a filling meal and it was good company overall.

After stitches

Haven't been blogging for sometime as my com had crashed and was rather busy with misc things(which i also donno). A good 2 weeks i had as my boss left for Prague with many of my agents for a convention meeting, thus office was rather quiet and peaceful and I have time to slowly do my reports and those necessary things.

Meanwhile, my stitches have been removed, i still need to wash and bandage it up everyday. The whole patch looks red and I presume it will take very long before the scar gets lighter. No choice, as my body heals very slowly.

My wound

Surgery

Went for a minor surgery on Sunday to remove a lump on my thigh. It started off as a very small lump underneath my skin and the doc says it's not malignant. Subsequently it began to grow bigger to the size of a big mosquito bite after a few months and i got quite worried. I was very scared during the 15 mins 'surgery' and requested to blindfold my eyes. The doctor injected anesthesia and started the surgery. My mum was called in in the middle of it as the doctor wants her to see how deep my wound was. After stitching up the skin, the doctor bandaged the wound and showed me the cyst. It was quite big in his view (abt the size of a panadol pill) and i was really shocked. He said that i might have pierced into something externally that caused the lump but i cant seem to recall piercing into anything. Well, all is well now. He asked if i wanted to keep the cyst but i was too scared after the operation to react to anything. I should have kept it for memories man! haa.

Went back to the clinic on Monday to wash the wound and i have to wash the wound 2 times everyday and the stitches can only be removed after 1 week. For the next month or so, i had to refrain from seafood, chicken and eggs to let my wound heal. Do hope my wound will heal in time for my Krabi trip in September!

This picture was taken in office when i had to clean my wound. Looks bit digusting though.

Prawning

Me, Lionel, Zongyang and Daren went for a prawning night last saturday. There are quite a number of prawning farms in Singapore, we went to the one at Jurong (the previous crocodile farm) as Daren had been there before. Charges are at $13 for one hr and $25 for 3 hrs. We reached around 8 and started to prawn. From the hooking of the bait to waiting patiently for the prawns, it was a first time experience for me. One of the assistant there taught us how to place the rod and the bait and we were ready to go. After abt 15 mins, Zongyang finally got the first catch of the day! Daren helped to hook the prawn out of the hook as he is more experienced!

Our first catch

We were excited and hoped for more to come in. There were some experts opposite us who had prawns almost every 5 to 10 mins. Zongyang got another prawn after 20 mins while me, lionel and daren were still waiting to break the zero. After abt 1.5 hrs, there were still no sights of any prawns, we felt some tugs but we lost them when we were pulling the rod up. Sob, probably i did not know the technique to correctly pull the rod. As Lionel and I shared one rod, we took turns to prawn. Daren had his first success after 2 hrs and subsequently another one in a while. That brought our total catch to 4. Sadly, it remained 4 after 3 hrs. Lioenl and I were quite disappointed as we didnt catch any at all for the night! haha.. but we bu gan yuan and vowed to come back again to practise again. We took out miserly 4 prawns to the 'zhi cha' stall there and had supper there - cereal prawns, sambal kang kong and furong egg. Nice esp eating the prawns we had prawn ourselves. As the 7th month is drawing near, there is also a mini Ge tai there which blasts hokkien songs, with some happening aunties and uncles grooving to the music. They also had retro techno songs which livened the whole atmosphere. Would wanna bring my family here one day for a fun filled day of prawning and listening to those hokkien songs (my dad's favourite!).

Fantastic shows

Watched two good shows last week- Alone & Disturbia.

Alone is a typical horror show with lots parts where the ghost will suddenly appear and scare you off. It has been long since i watched a scary horror movie with a good plot. Entertaining and horrifying. Would strongly recommend for all who loves to be scared of. haa..

Next is disturbia, reason i watch is mainly Shia LaBeouf (the lead in transformers). He is defintely the up and coming star in Hollywood with many good shows coming on his way. The movie is about him who is confined to his home after he punches his Spanish teacher. After his mum shuts off his X-box and i-tunes, he begins to notice his neighbours' daily activities using his binoculars. From the hot gal who has just moved in to the crazy kids opposite his hse, he struck upon his neighbour who might be the serial killer on the loose. Humorous in the beginning and intense towards the end, the show keeps me gripped to the seat and i thoroughly enjoyed it.
