Euro 2008 Final

Euro 2008 is finally over. Surprised myself that I actually stayed up to watch till the very end. I thought that maybe Germany will score a goal so that the match will go into extra time and perhaps have penalty kick but it didn't.

I guess you all should have already know the results by now. Spain won the Euro 2008. Indeed, they played well. They were on their top conditions throughout. Their attempts to tackle all the passes from Germany and attempts to goal was much better than Germany.

I guess many people are disappointed with how Germany played this final. Some say that they are not ready for this final at all. But I guess at least they made it to the final.

This marks the end of Euro 2008...... To Spain..... the last time they won Euro Cup was in 1964... what a long 44 years wait.....

My New Love

Yes..... I got a NEW LOVE......

And it is none other than............

MY G900!!!!!





HAha..... woohoo..... Will send the actual picture of my phone later..... now is like 2+am..... And I am still here.... lol.... was bluetooth-ing some songs over to my handphone......

And SY.... I am SUPER IN LOVE with G900...... DON'T TELL ME ABOUT C902....

Well, but this phone come with a price..... $438.... should have sign up for it when it was on promotion last week at $368...... and with a $1oo discount for new plan.....

My current new plan is Powerchat 100, which comes with Free 100 outgoing call, Free incoming call 7am-7 pm and free 900smses. Since I don't use the talktime so much and mostly spend on smsing.... I guess this plan is better than the Powervalue 100 as Powervalue 100 only has 500 smses and my outgoing calls are so little that is insignificant. And the promotion now is free 6 months subscription of $29.96/mth...... so that means... I will save about $180.... so...... I think this promotion is still better than last week one.... don't you think so? lolxx....

Let's do a simple calculation.....

If I take last week promotion......

End of 6 months.... I have to pay:

Promotional Handset wuth $100 discount+6 mth subscription = $368-$100+ $179.76 = $447.76

The one that I bought:

Handset with free 6 mth subscription= $438

Haha.... well.... just $9+ difference only....... chey..... haha... but at least better than nth.....

A photo that I took to try out the camera.... (w/o the flashlight)



Today suppose to have a gathering with my SEC SCH NPCC Juniors and pS and cH one..... going to watch ZOHAN and have dinner...... but didn't give them an answer till the 11th hour.... but later to know that it has been postponed..... =(

Don't know why.... nowadays don't feel like going for gatherings.... haha.... missed out one by the OLD BIRD NPCC Click last week..... mainly because it was so out of the place la..... meet at east coast in the late evening???

Well..... gonna be busy in July soon..... with lotsa events coming up..... I need holidays...... Can I take leave? haha..... guess I have to wait for few mths ba....

Hmm.... decided to delete a previous post after talking to SY..... well..... I can be hot-headed at times..... and also short-tempered if anyone tries to step on my tail...... 老虎不发挥 。。。 把我当病猫。。。。 I may be kind-hearted..... doesn't mean that I have to be nice to all..... some people just need to learn the hard way.....

WeareWonderWomen.com

I came across this WONDERFUL site when I blog hopped....

This site is an online support group to empower young women in fighting cancer.

This site is founded by Molly who had contracted Ovarian Cancer in Dec 2005, who had passed away on 29 May 2008 at 12:31am.


This is her story:


" Three years ago when
I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I remembered that I cried a lot because I was in the midst of collecting my new house keys and preparing to get married and start a family.

I was even dreaming of a blissful future and planning to have kids. However, my dream of having kids was dashed as I had to give up my fertility in exchange for my life, and that also means I will age faster than my peers after my surgical menopause.

R&B and Soul

I was searching my mp3s collection on any HARDCORE ALTERNATIVES/HIPHOP+RAP music for SY who has changed his taste for music..... then I actually realised that I quite like R&B songs.....

Actually already like such songs..... just that I don't know what genres of songs I am listening.... now then I know it is R&B.... lolx.... I always listen to songs based on feel and also the lyrics.... just that don't like too heavy metal one.... cause can get headache after listening for too long....

Maybe it is time for me to stop listening to sad songs too..... lolx.... but then again.... R&B also can have sad songs leh... haha....

Below are some of the nice songs that I come across in my mp3s.... managed to find some of them in youtube:



Wait For You- Elliott Yamin



Umbrella - Rihanna



Blame it on me -Akon



Rehab - Amy Winehouse



Beautiful Girl - Sean Kingston



Chris Brown's songs are nice too..... =p

黃昏 - 周傳雄

Was listening to mp3s and decided to play the following song......

Still remember this is Ms Zachia Low all time favourite song in 2004...... whenever we go NPCC HQ for OEP... in her office.... or even in her white Honda Civics when she send us back home....


黃昏 - 周傳雄


过完整个夏天
忧伤并没有好一些
开车行驶在公路无际无边
有离开自己的感觉
唱不完一首歌
疲倦还剩下黑眼圈
感情的世界伤害在所难免
黄昏再美终要黑夜
依然记得从你口中说出再现坚决如铁
昏暗中有种烈日灼身的错觉
黄昏的地平线
划出一句离别
爱情进入永夜
依然记得从你眼中滑落的泪伤心欲绝
混乱中有种热泪烧伤的错觉
黄昏的地平线
割断幸福喜悦
相爱已经幻灭

The Not-For-Profit Care and Passion

Sometimes these are the people and things make us continue to do things that we believe in ... ... and make us remember what is the reason that make us do what we do.... Not-for-Profit Care..... and Passion......

From 1 of my clients that I've seen before I move over to children side:

To My Dearest OT & PT Quek Xiu Ling, (transdisciplinary you see..... so I am not only an OT but a PT to the client)

Indeed You made me to Achieve What I Lost out of Many Years ..... Words cannot Express Great Of Freedom on my Legs again ..... Tomorrow I will start with slow jog around ....Indeed One must have Faith in You as Invigorates Great Healings!!!! Thank You for making me walk without sticks You will be Feature in my Book of Recovery .....Again Merci,,,,Thasnk You from the bottom of my Heart!! You are Great!!

The Rise Of xxx Again !!!
(name deleted and replaced due to comfidentialty)

Another client's mother:


"You are one of the better therapists that I have seen...... you really "pattern chu gao liao" (meaning try all sort of activities)..... "

"记得回娘家喔。。。。。。"
(meaning going back to adult rehab, using analogy of going back to parent's place)

Other clients:

"We can still go and find you if we want right?"


I'm glad that in my first year in adult rehab.... I've make an impact in people's lives..... Hope I can continue to do so when I see my little mei mei and di di at children side.......

They really make me feel like I am leaving the organization like that..... no wonder SY was asking if I am going for a long trip..... but in actual fact, I am just shifting to another department, which is the next block. =)

But, I really appreciate them for appreciating me, for my efforts are being recognised.... at least by the people at the receiving end.

It's great to work with my clients..... sometimes.... I learnt alot from them.... about life.... even myself.... but it is time to move on.....

Money and Relationship

Class 95FM Morning Express was talking about loan and relationship.

They mentioned that there was someone who loaned another person $60,000 and never gets them back.

I remembered I have a friend who loan some large amount to this girl that he likes.... but never to get it back... when I say large.... I really mean large.... mulitples of ten thousands kind... not too sure if the girl is trying to "make use" of his LOVE for him but apparently it seems like it. Now he trying to get back the money.... hope he is able to get it back.....

Sometimes is these "blacksheeps" that cause people to lose faith and trust in people..... especially when you decided to put that trust in people... and yet they that breach that trust.....

Glenn and Flying Dutchman was saying that when people loan out money, they should treat it as a gift. And if that person return, it is a Bonus!

Well, I guess when people decided to loan you that amount of money...... they really trust you that you will return. If you can't, please make arrangement to see how can it be returned.... haha.... don't worry.... I didn't lend money to any1..... maybe I did... to my brother.... but I can't remember how much is it already....

But, now to think of it, really thank 2 people for lending me $$ when I needed them..... But am sorry that I took so long to return back that time..... they are:

MABEL TAN!!! For lending me $500 during my JC1 time to purchase my Datamini PC for Yr 1 A Level C++ Programing Coursework and yr 2 CAD and C++.....

Of Course Ms Yiwei..... $500 for me to go Taiwan..... haha.... I guess if you never initiated to lend me the $$, Iguess I never have the opportunity to go that far.... and of course.... to build the friendship of 8 of us..... which later became to be known as the Taiwan Gang by the class..... haha.... sounds like some 黑色会 黑社会right? lolx...

Running Update #2

Hey.... I managed to go for my 2nd round of jogging yesterday..... But wasn't very satisfied with the results.....


Before 1km : Started to pant and had stitches already
2.5 km : less than 20 min
4.3 km : 35 min


After my 2.5km, I started to breathe quite heavily, wheezing breathe out like those sound that you make when you have asthmatic. Thus, tried to just concentrate on my breathing after the 2.5km. I guess my breathing is really bad.... maybe some swimming will help to improve on my breathing.... but I dunno how.... =(

Sometimes I just hate to run alone.... but on the other hand... sometimes I just need time alone... haha.... confusing gal eh? lolx.....

I need to improve on my speed as well..... really slow..... I need to run with the most 7 mintues per 1 km - 70mins/10km. Now with this timing.... if I keep this constant... it will be 82 mins , i.e. 1 hr and 22 min....

Shall see how.... maybe I should play more with the children's blow toys to improve my breathing.... I really cannot blow out using my lungs sia.... maybe that's why the doctor wants me to use a preventive inhaler(Brown) 2-3 years back, which I totally refused when I have serious shortness of breathe (SOB) that I feel that I am going to die....

Still have my reliever inhaler (blue)... but don't use it too.Probably expired too. Maybe I should carry it with me when I go run. In case I really SOB.... lolx...

Maybe next run I shall train at stadium.... to monitor my speed better..... See how.... look out for more updates!
