SLackerz conquers!
Wow it is September already? Gosh time is a bullet train man! Before you know it 2011 would be here!
Anyways, I am really proud of myself. Because I went to the SkyPark at the Marina Bay Sands and did not faint! IT WAS FREAKING 57 STORIES HIGH OKAY!!!!
I had gone to the Pinnacle@Duxton the week before, and i had palpitation problems halfway through the tour! It was so embarrassing! My colleague had to help me calm down. 
luckily it was during the end of the tour so it was not so bad. And yes, both times, my comapny paid for me to go how awesome is that?? 
Marina Bay Sands was quite spectacular and you get to see the whole of Singapore. The most impressive thing was the sky swimming pool. It was built such that it looked as though the pool would spill over to the end of the tower! So scary, but people were happily lounging near the end.. *shudder* The Singapore Flyer looked so tiny from the top hehe.. Wasted I did not take any pictures though… What? I was brave enough to go up okay, but couldn’t bring myself to go to the edge of the tower to take pictures! *defensive shrug*
Though my work is quite demanding, it is stuff like this that perk me up. I would never have gotten the chance to go to many of these places if not for visits, tours and programmes thorugh which I have to bring people go. I even had the chance to go to a bar! *snicker snicker* will blog about it in my next post, it was kinda weird but exciting at the same time! I had never seen so many different types of drinks at the same time!
Am on half day today. It is so tiring to work when you are fasting. Imagine having to come up with a proposal when you are trying to banish thoughts of food from your mind? Not really working.. Never mind, insya allah another 8 days to go only!
Need to finish up some work before leaving office so tatas to anyone who is actually bothering to read this pathetic excuse of a blog! Ha!
Hello again
It has been eons since I blogged, but I was very happy with being silent hehe… Anyway, I have been up to my eyeballs in work so would not have had the time to blog anyway. I really wish I could talk about my work, but I am so paranoid that my Boss might accidentely stumble upon here, and I sure do not want to take the risk. Things are already shaky at work.
I remember early part of the year when I used to blog about how work was quite easy and bla bla… Ya well, if only those times would be back. When I started work, I thought that I was those type of people who would stick to 1 job for the rest of their lives. And it took me less than half a year to find out that no, I am not that type haha… Of course I am not looking for a new job now, God knows how much stress I underwent to get this job, but I do nto see myself being here for, I don’t know, 5 years or more. But Insya Allah we will see how things go.
Seems like it’s the wedding season now! Everyone and their mother is getting married, seems like… June is a good month to get married though. June, May and December.. Don’t ask me why, but they just seem like the ‘marrying months’ haha…
World Cup is on!! I waited four years for this man!! I know I know, I do not look like the soccer fan type of person, but World Cup is well, World Cup and you get to see top standard players, and not to mention handsome looking dudes!! I hope Brazil or France wins. Spain put up a poor show yesterday, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU CASSILAS!!
Oh it’s 6pm! Can go back soon woohoo!
Long weekend
TGIF! It’s going to be a long weekend as it’s Chinese New Year on Sunday, which means that Monday & Tuesday are also holidays! Which gives me a grand total of 4 days to rest!! And the first thing on my list is to sleep like a rock. I have not been having enough sleep the past week. Tuition, work, housework, work, tuition bla bla…
My boss gave me a box of cereal as a gift for Chinese New Year. Sounds a little weird right? But actually I think it’s very creative because she gave me this!
It’s actually quite apt as it’s the year of the tiger according to the Chinese calendar. Took me a while to get it actually but it’s quite unique, I mean you don’t have to buy expensive stuff, a normal cereal box is enough to brighten someone’s day:)
Valentine’s Day is on the same day as Chinese New Year but it is on a Sunday thnak god! I don’t have to enduire blissfully happy (or so it looks) couple cuddling on the trains and buses and roads and whatever. Already every single store I pass by has teddy bears and roses. I know I sound jealous BUT I really am not. I just don’t knowwhy Valentine’s Day irks me so much. Ok, maybe I do but I don’t have to tell you
Ashton Kutcher said in a interview that 364 days of the year you should tell your spouse/partner/lover/ how much you love them and on Valentine’s Day, tell them whatever you hate about them. Haha I think that’s a cool idea. I should try that actually
I am going to treat myself for Valentine’s Day. Actually that is just an excuse la I feel like buying a shoes!!! Shall go Charles & Keith and poke around later. Am feeling happy already.
Okay, the mood to blog is rapidly dissolving so have a good weekend people! Shall leave you guys with a picture of my tiger toy!! It’s quite cute actually! For those celebrating Lunar New Year, Gong Xi Gong Xi!
Woes behold.
Lame title I know but its the content that counts rite?
I had been having knee pain for a few days last week. I could not straighten my right leg too much or my knee would give way. And there was a nagging pain at the side of my kneecap. I started to get very worried, could I have really aged that fast? I am only in my early twenties. One of my colleague also told me that she was suffering from knee pain and when she bent down, it would hurt quite a bit. Apparently the doctor told her that the tissues in her knee were wearing out quite quickly and she has to take medication or something like that.
This bit of information stressed me out. I do walk alot (apparently, that may have been one of the reasons why her tissues were wearing out) and if my knee is hurting now itself, by the time I reach my thirties…. I shudder to think of it. The next day I went to buy a pair of sandals, (and they look very pretty if I may say so myself ) as my feet were hurting from wearing heels for a prolonged period of time.
I remember that evening I went for tuition. As I was returning home, I realised that my knee was not hurting at all. I straightened it completely and there was a tiny soreness but my knee did not give way or tense up alhamdu lillah. Which meant that it was because I was wearing heels all this while which made my knee ache. I was relieved at first followed quickly by apprehension. Does that mean that I can’t wear heels from now on? Or even if I do, I can only wear for short periods?
I feel quite sad actually. I had my eye on this pair of heels from Charles & Keith and I was waiting for my pay to buy it. But if I buy it now Ammi would probably chase me out of the house with a broom or something. (Okay exaggerated but you get my point!)
I went to Geylang to buy new clothes on Saturday. Office pants, blouses, formal shirts, I think I must have spent quite abit. But the excitement lasted a while only. If I had gone shoe shopping, the euphoria would last at least a week or two even. I am still happy to wear my 1 week old sandals. But I don’t feel the same excitement for anything else. Not that I hate clothes or anything… but… I just like buying shoes. I can wear the same clothes for 5 years but I have to change my shoes every few months! Or I will go mad!
Sigh. My name is Nurulain and I am a shoeaholic.

Updates
I can’t believe that I managed to wake up right on time (actually a minute earlier) today even though I totally forgot to set my alarm clock yesterday. I think my body is getting used to waking up at a certain time evryday. Is that good or bad?
I really must cut down on my rice intake. I think I am eating too much rice nowadays. Lunch can’t be helped, since I usually pack food from home, but I must make sure that I try not to eat rice for dinner. Trying to maintain my weigth is such a BIG FAT HASSLE!
I was walking down the stairs of my block when I saw a lady feeding a kid. The front door was open and they were sitting in the middle of the living room or hall. I don’t know why but that scene stayed with me for quite some time. The toddler would be so carefree, only thinking about food and play and nap time, while people like me have to trudge to work, bracing the peak hour rush in trains. Don;t get me wrong, I don’t dislike my job. It’s just the mudane routine that I have fallen into that irks me. I work 5 days a week, and give tuition plus part time abacus trainer, which means that I am only free on Sunday. And Sundays have this sneaky habit of passing by u so fast so that before you can finish saying ‘Yay it’s Sunday!’, you find that you are ironing your clothes for work tomorrow. *Exaggerated but you get the point!!!*
My company is taking away our PCs and replacing them with laptops! I don’t know if it is good nws, cuz I would have to take back work now if necessary. Oh well, you can’t have everything in life.
I was getting out of the train yesterday when I accidentely stepped on this little boy’s slippers. Since he was walking, it came off and he had to hurry back to retrieve it. It was peak period so people were rushing back and fro, causing his slipper to be kicked about. If it had been any other person, they would have been unhappy but the boy was so polite. I was quite embarrased and apologised to him but he said “It’s ok” in a very polite manner, TWICE!! I simply adore polite kids man!
I dreamt yesterday that I was going out with this Caucasian guy who wanted to marry me!! He also wanted to convert to Islam for me! Totally random and weird, it;s not like I even like Caucasian guys in the first place.
Okay that’s it for now. I am currently compiling my ten list of fave stuff (food people habit) don’t ask me why its my blog I will post what I want!! So will post it soon:)
Toodles people! (BTW I totally hate that word, but I am in a very contrary mood today so wth la
Da daa dii
I have been working here for almost two weeks and today was the first time I got to see my Chairman. Well better late than never. Been quite slack the whole day, since my DR (director) had not assigned us our tasks yet. But i just received a mail with our tasks so yeah, must start to get into the working zone. I don’t like being idle, all I did today was edit our daatbase and brush up some forms. The rest of the day was spent reading blogs until I decided to look at past projects and get to know more about my company background. More productive. U know, for a self-proclaimed slacker, I sure don’t slack alot. Wait scratch that, you have not seen me on Sundays, I practically eat, watch tv and sleep *smug look*
I still need new clothes, have not had the time to go shopping yet, insyallah this weekend. I have this sudden craving for chocolates, I polished off 3 Kinder Buenos last week plus a Snickers!!!! That’s really bad, I wonder why my face is not breaking out yet. *touch wood*
I hate having lunch in my office, its so cold! I have been asking people out but these wretches are not free!! Fine!! See if I care!!! No free lunch for you your loss!! *sulks*
Oh god is that the time?? Time for me to knock off yay!! Bye all
