Icez Blogz
Ok, the first thing I am going to do is to push the blame to Facebook - for neglecting my cool cool icezworld for so long. Coz it seems so convenient to update stuffs over at FB, especially photos. So, here I am going to give a summary of what happened the past few months.... *Yawnz*
- Went Korea for the 1st time with "5 Star" Tour Agency. Realised how things can be beautified in drama serials. Korea was just ok to me. Nothing to "wow" about. Food was quite bad as of all group tours. Scenery was kinda nice but not spectacular. I like the
show though, it was really nice! Didn't shop much too as it's not cheap. Bought my 1st Evisu jeans (as it's cheaper there than in Sg), 2 AX tees, a CK jeans cap, a black winter jacket, 2 working shirts and of course facial products from . No, didn't go for the Ginseng that they kept promoting. :P - Then I went Taiwan for countdown. Visited Hua Lian and supposedly a very scenic place as well. Well, it was ok..... quite nice. Took some photos and will share on FB soon. Since I was there, I visited the Flower Expo as it's like the "Must Go" kinda place. Result? Crap lor. It's practically a waste of time as most of the time you will be lining up to get into some exhibitions only to realise that it's full of crap. Took a lot of photos of flowers.... might as well right since I was there? The rest of the trip consists mainly of the usual shopping & eating.
- Had quite a few gatherings lately with my NUS Geyao (Singing group) friends, my holiday work friends and ex-colleagues. My Geyao friends commented that my singing has improved! They said that it seems like my range is wider and I could hit the high notes easier as compared to last time. Happy. :)
- I am still having my usual tennis sessions on Saturday. No major improvement... yet. :P
- Have been rather actively looking for a resale HDB flat. It seems so difficult as very few agents want to be "buyers' agent". And a lot of ads are actually dummies. Meaning no response when you call or sms them. And of course my requirements are not exactly easy to match but hey, I am looking for a place to stay for long term so it's worth the effort right?
Will try to blog more often. :P

Icez Shoppingz: Confessions of a Shopaholic?
Just did a very 'Shopaholic' act. Was at Isetan during lunch for the CKJ sales. Saw this sweater that I have been eyeing for a long time and it was really priced down this time.Was searching for M size but it was all L. Then saw this auntie holding an M size and saying how nice it was. I was hoping that she will put it back but she didn't. I pretended that I wasn't interested.
Then she started walking away and looking at other stuffs. So I also went to look at other stuffs but keeping tab on her movements.
After 5-10 minutes, seeing that my sweater is gone, I decided to leave the place. While I was taking the escalator down, I saw the auntie asking the sales assistant something about that sweater. I imagined in my mind she was asking for a new piece or maybe S size. But I couldn't see further as my escalator reached the ground floor.
I was so determined that I decided to take the escalator back and take a look. And to my pleasant surprise, the auntie didn't want the sweater after all.
Immediately, I was delighted and hurried back to the store to get it. After trying and making sure that the sweater is in good condition, I bought it.
So, my efforts paid off. :) Shopaholic?

Icez Thoughts: Family kind of Love
On the day of my birthday, I was about to leave home for a day of shopping. Before I leave my place, my Mum remembered that it was my birthday. So she said,"Isn't today your birthday?" "Yah...Bye... I am going out" I said.
Then my Dad sent a "Happy Birthday" sms to me.
Today my Mum cooked my favourite dish. It's this stewed mushrooms with dried oysters, pork ribs and chicken feet. Other than the chicken feet, I like the rest of the dish. This has been my favourite dish since young. I don't know why also. And my Mum seldom cook so it's some effort that she cooked my favourite dish. I remember she brought this to Nee Soon Camp for me on my BMT's Family Visiting Day. I finished up everything. Just imagine after having weeks of camp food and you will understand why. I must start to learn to cook this dish also. She also cooked big prawns, steamed pomfret and some vegetables. I loved it all. 100% home cooked food.
Also, my brother bought durians as well. Ok, it's my favourite fruit also. So I take it it's meant for me. :P
So I guess this is the way my family celebrates my birthday for me. They probably doesn't know what to get me and I wouldn't want them to waste money too. So this is the best way. :)
I also received many birthday treats, vouchers and some pressies. Felt blessed. Guess that is good enough for someone of my age. *grin*
Thanks everyone!

Icez Accidentz: On the way to office
Saw this accident on my way to office. Heard over radio 100.3 that there's an accident at Thomson road and the PIE exit will be closed.
By the time I reached, they have also closed the exit to Toa Payoh Lorong 1 so I have to detour to Toa Payoh Lorong 6. Saw this lorry stucked at the divider between the 2 exits. It was rather scary.
This brought me to my memories that I used to have a colleague (Let's call him Uncle Teo) and he too drove us to this divider on the expressway. The lucky thing is he stopped in time. We were all gasping in fear and of course some screamed. But we were lucky.

Icez Musicz: 感動每一刻 Every Touching Moment
A nice effort by the 4 local singers. My favourite is of course Stefanie! Though the song seems like another National Day song and the style is very JJ.
What do you think? Does it sound inspirational to you?

Icez Updates: of myself....
This is really just a random update of who else but myself! So, no planning or structuring of what I am going to write....
1) Tired. Not enough sleep everyday and I just couldn't make myself go to bed earlier. And obviously I couldn't wake up any later. :P
2) My tennis has been improving and now I need to work on my backhand to get a smoother return.
3) My househunting attempts haven't been too fruitful. The fear of prices going up everyday haunts me each time. But I just couldn't close my eyes and just pick something from the lot. Maybe I should have bought D'Fresco right at the start. Last year. March. Now I might be going for HDB flats if there's no signs of prices falling. :( But even flats are expensive now! More control measures please...
4) Work has been good. Some changes in my department but it worked well for me. So I am quite happy. As usual, colleagues and bosses are nice!
5) Looking forward to my holidays in April. The last holiday was in December/January. Must also plan something for year end.
That's about it. Such a boring life!

Icez Thoughtz: What's in for 2010?
Seriously, I have been too busy lately to even think of 2010, not to mention updating my blog. *Trying to start off with an excuse*
So what was I busy with recently?
I went to Japan before X'mas and also KL for countdown. Hate to mention, I had a disastrous hair colour done. Ok, the colour is not disastrous but more like the shock and the process. In short, my hairstylist didn't follow my instructions on the colour I wanted and gave me a daring blonde ash look. Was I ok with that? Yes. Sure. Will my bosses or other colleagues accept it? Nah. I don't even dare think about it. Anyway I have to salvage my hair by doing another layer of black. So now my hair is super dry. Blah. And I am still thinking of doing something before CNY. Stay tuned for that.
So what's in for 2010? I don't really know. 6 years in my present job. Gosh. Time flies. The good thing is the colleagues are really nice and that's what makes me stay in the job. I like the stable and familiar environment where there are no office politics. I like the familiarity I have for the work that I am doing and am confident of what works and what doesn't. So do I want to plunge into a totally new environment? I don't have an answer too. Leave it to fate.
I will continue to work on improving my tennis. Though I have made significant progress in my 1st year or so, according to my tennis mates, but I seemed to have been stagnant now. Need to improve on my serve and also backhand to elevate my playing to the next level.
Travel. Where else do I want to go in 2010? Europe? USA? Korea? Undecided.
Leave you with some photos of Japan. Mount Fuji and the area around it. Beautiful place.
