Southern Ridges Walk

Have wake up early on sunday morning as a walk have been planned for my family at Southern Ridges - for some exercise. We start the walk ard 1030am and took abt 4hrs for the whole trip. The route start from Harbour Front mrt exit D --> Mount Faber --> Henderson waves --> Telok Blangah Hill Park --> Alexandra Arch --> HortPark. Then we took a bus back to Harbour Front for lunch and get our cars. Luckily, the weather is good after it rained for past few days.

Mum was complaining the stairs climbing from Harbour Front to Mount Faber was tedious but after they completed the lst 15mins of stairs climbing, the rest of the route is quite flat and thus easier. I can see mum enjoying the trip thereafter, esp looking at the nice scenary at Mount Faber and at the Hort Park with beautiful flowers poping up. Hee....objectives achieved ;)

JL's party

On fri nite, gone to JL's birthday celebration at double O. Quite sometime didn't go clubbing liao, gd to hv some fun with the gals. Forgot to control the liquor well, maybe drink too fast so end up a bit drunk... xp

JL wish for a korean necklance, bought a necklance and i think it has room for improvement, so added on the "wooden flower button" as well as the side beads. Hope she like it though it might not hv the korean taste =P

@->----

I have told myself that my blog would always be having happy stories only. But quite sad that i'm sharing a very sad story here...

I have been visiting the hospital almost everyday for the week. An elderly couple whom are quite close to me met with misfortunate this week. The husband was hospitalised with illness and his wife had a fatal fall and went into coma. They did not get to see each other even though they are in the same hospital due to their health condition. However, an message was passed from the husband to his wife..."that he miss her and love her very much...". Our hearts all ache when we heard this. The elderly uncle passed away this morning without much suffering, may he rest in peace. @->--- ly is very strong and facing it very bravely, jia you ly!

Lets treasure our love ones & the life we have. =)

Biz Presentation Skill

Have gone for 2 days training course in Biz Presentation Skill provided by the company. Is not as relax as what i have expected, instead we are ask to do abt 10 presentations applying different techniques..with impromptu or prepared speech. Well is......Stress!! Imagine in front of the class, trying to keep the thoughts going, be confident, got to keep my eyes lock, with the right vocal, body language, pace and stance. Is not easy but luckily i survived. =} The skills taught are actually very useful, though the training are tough but i do learn something.

Lukewarm lemon water

Another colleague's farewell...hmm the 4th one, thus today go for another sinful lunch. We go to an Itailan fine dining restaurant: Pasta Brava. The deco is nice, restaurant have received many awards and food are good. That goes to said that my pockets also have a big hole. =}

Recently i'm very motivated to slim down, thus have been watching my diet and try to jog or go gym in weekdays. However it backfired when i took heavy dinner after the jog, I feel full and round :( It really needs to take great discipline to cut down on carbo food. Jia you! Jia you!

Something new which i learn from a friend is to drink lukewarm lemon water in the morning, it is said to help in detoxin the body and help to cleanse the skin. Have chk with 2 of my female colleagues and they know abt it and one of them hv been drinking it. Amazing, so many gals know and i jus learn of it! There are so much new things to discover everyday =D Will give it a try ;)
