Eh....viral infection of the stomach is a bad thing....was down with it last week....wed till i would say yesterday....aiyo....toilet was my best fren during the period....had 3 jabs....cried and had a swollen left deltoid, finally look like a dragon boat rower?? For someone with piercings and tats...i was sure scared of the pain....but its so different....sore and achy....further more the left arm kena two jabs....sure sore wat!

anyway good that i am recovering good! :) next week can start dragon boat maybe....

Have suddent urge to cook sherpards pie (the easy version)....shall go shop for ingredients at lunch later... maybe i should share the receipe but i dont know how...dont have the proportions, i just agar and mix....and really depends on how big ya oven???

basically....steamed 2 potatoes....while it steaming, prep the filling...stir fry some garlic and shallots in a soup pan...throw in some sliced sausages or seasoned minced beef (your pref), sliced button mushrooms and cubed carrots. Stir around....shiok then add campbell's chunky beef soup from the can...abt 0.75 a can will do....add a bit of FRESH milk and cheddar cheese....no cheating with HL ok? but must make sure the mixture is kao...not watery.....leave to simmer lightly.

now the crust....mash up the steamed potatoes...add butter and milk to ease the mashing.....then line a baking foil tin thingy....thinly....pour in the kao kao mixture u have been stirring ard.....cover with thicker crust...paint on a layer of butter....add grated mozarrella and cheddar cheese to the top and pop in oven...till golden brown. yummy....

hope that is comprehensive....

Hahaa...I was in the papers....a tabloid paper! It was last Sat (14 Aug)...i was innocently squatting at the beach and well...the photographer got a shot of my back....the ever-famous and "cant-go-wrong-must-be-me" back of mine... so on sunday afternoon and monday mornings...it was a lot of questions and "yes it was me" answers. I mean why do they even have to ask, those who have seen it...know it! No mistake about that man!

Anyway prior to the beach i was at Jurong Island Dragon Boat race...my team got 1st despite a bad start, 1.50 for 250m...a split second before the 2nd team, which was also from my company incidentally! :) it is so cool, the adrenalin of the competition and the rush....man anytime better than drugs/ drinks...a couple of us are thinking of forming an actual team, see how it goes, seems tuff to commit 3 Xs a week training and well i got netball trainings too! sigh... perhaps after thiamster signs on huh? More time to do these and they are also pretty constructive.

So the rest of the week flew by quite uneventfully...went last minute golf practise at the range than had a game on tuesday, strained finger in the process and now it is doing a good job at telling me when it will rain.

the best part of this week is the diving...i am leaving for tioman....whoppee! yes, with thiamster and friends...people i dont know. but no matter...just nuahzzzz....dive, eat, tan...i love diving...didnt realise it was 7th month tho....mum is getting worried but nicely keeping quiet, i think she will give me hell when i come back....oppzzz...

Fear...is it impt to have fear, to prevent us from doing something stupid and kill ourselves in the process or is it a stumbling block? from my personal experience, once fear builts it is tuff to overcome, not impossible, but takes a while...i had some fears before...i have fears that made me question myself, my life and my direction but somehow they just dissolved...as the time was right... So my thought is that time and space overcomes fear. but no fear is bad...one becomes cocky and one actually thinks one can do anything and everything. it is hazardous. but is fear useful? sigh...who knows...

Enuff cock and bull shit....i am so gona have fun this weekend! See ya all...till nex timeeeee.... :D

Yo yo....long weekend coming up! wats all the happening pple out there considering?... I think i will be hanging out, sleeping and resting those muscles... have been pretty active at work lately, as in work and oso their activities such as Netball and Dragon boat...this yr i signed up totally on volunteer basis... interest and i think it is good to stay active and in touch with ya fitness? think the netball team is gonna get a proper coach....cool! i realise our team can play, its just uncoord and well....strategy not there... coach = training = improvement = GOOOD! :) met Jac at the friendly match on wed....vs MCDS...lost....hahahaa....but really "qiao"! heeheee.... yes.... and in the process have a broken big toe nail....badddddd broken.... ouch!

I am currently reading "Trading Up" - Candance Bushnell...abt a lingerie model and her super hap life and lifestyle, social group and yet empty life (?). it makes me think abt richness and poorness... how rich is rich enuff? is there really such a thing...do material riches bring you happiness? i think we all work for what we deserve and what we need. with the human spirit, you wouldnt die...life is as fulfilling as you make it out....would driving a BMW fulfill me? i think there were times we do think that it would be good...but one thing i wana bring out is that it is NOT NECESSARY. i am happy with simple apartment, comfort, love but its the SECURITY of it all that matters to me. what for the big house and fast car if it is not secured if you get wat i mean.

Tomorrow is Jane's 1st bday....the fat sumo with a wail to match her size....sigh and it has to be a lunch thingy....everyone knows its beach day for me....my family just likes to make things tuff for me..... hmmmm....

anyway....exciting plans to visit JB on sunday thru monday....if not, lazing at home with a good show/ book/ microwaved mashmallows would be good.... *wink*

I look forward to the break. next week looks bz too...with the trainings for netball and DB, 2 each so i gotta think abt whether i wana go for all or break my back while doing them..... tuff choice horrr... ? :)

Meanwhile i am still trying to figure out how to post photos and add links to this thing... i am so not talented....miin how....where are u???? help.... :P

Have a good weekend one and all....Singapore is 39!
