Aah Bay Say

Summary of Thursday, January 7, 2010 - January 10, 2010

Best shopping: United Colors of Benetton @ Pavilion, with EVERYTHING 50% off!!! It was almost as good as shopping in China where everything is 50% off, except that EVERYTHING is made from Italy!! Excellent, soft-to-the-touch, high quality Italian craftsmanship and fabric, swooooonnnss...Got allll my CNY clothes at one go.

Best spontaneous moment: Went through dozens of websites of language centres and self-learned lessons, finally got a buddy to learn French with. And he's none other than the musical & arts lover who's always gotten along so well with me. We have perfected our ABC, oh pardon me, it's Aah Bay Say in French!!  Determined to learn together once a week, our next self-help lesson will be on vowels.

Best indulgence moment: Upgraded my facial session to a luxurious one, with a mask so deliciously cool and creamy i could almost drown in moisture --- too bad with a pocket hurting one at that.

Best joke: Still chuckle when i remember my dad's comment on the neighbour's dog. My neighbour's dog is a huge German Shepard?? Or Rottweiller?? Anyways, a big fierce dog and its name is Baby. Talk about a mismatch. Anyways, my dad likes to cooed to her and say "baby baby". He did that again in the car while waiting for our house gate to open, and the neighbour warned him not to do that in case she jumped at us. As my dad wind down the window calmly and steered his car into our pavement, our conversation went like this:

Me: Daddy, what if it really attacked you just now? (casting worried glances at the dog)
Him: (calmly while driving in) Oh, i would just need to wind down the window on its head.
Me: ??? Haa..?? Ha ha..HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA (imagining the neighbor's shocked face with the barking dog head stuck under our window)

Best appreciated moment: I didn't do too badly in my first, official, real work performance review. In fact, i did very well for an official 6 months' stint. But i've got to keep my head low, and concentrate on delivering my best while not getting overworked or ragged or disrespected. Firmness is my new goal this year.

Best fitness plan: I've Finalllly...restarted my gym stint. I've even found the perfect way to shape my body while having fun -- FREE youtube belly dancing instructional videos!! Thank goodness for youtube inventors and users, bless you all, so I can save money while having fun slimming down. New Year's Plan: Cross Trainer 15mins on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday morning. Bellydancing 30mins on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evening. Body Combat on Wednesday and Gym on Saturday. WOW if i can really keep that up, and eat less (the most torturous part), i'm going to look hot. Haha
