My week

When people ask about my job, they always seemed surprised at how I'm actually able to cope, bring a tutor, running a cafe, and modelling.. And ive always just smiled and not give much thought to their surprise..

And it was not until this week that i realised that it is indeed quite a mean feat, being able to juggle 3 jobs and still be able to hit the gym at least 4 times a week!

Todays a fine example of how hectic my day can be:

910am

Arrived at punggol park for cleo mags fitness shoot.. It was great fun cos ive never stopped loving modelling despite the very humid weather.. I was perspiring horridly in the nike outfits provided..N a fitness shoot aint easy.. You'll really have to hold a pose while executing a move to train a muscle. Hopefully my abs turn out fine when that issue is out..

1230pm
Arrived at nebo cafe. Rushed over after the shoot all sticky and sweaty, hungry n thirsty. Had to be there cos there was a videoshoot going by a poly and i had to supervise. I even had to be interviewed unexpectedly in my not so appropriate attire and messy hair after the morning shoot.


230pm
Rushed off for my 1st lesson of 2 today.. Gobbled dwn measly pieces of sushi for lunch..

7pm
Finally had a proper meal at the fish pond. Left for home earlier cos i was too tired.. Headed home to clear my emails n to prepare for tuition the next day

Im pretty amazed! I guess things will have to change soon when i start to carry our baby.. Its gonna happen real soon, but im so gonna finish my 21km run 1st!

what a week!

This must be the most unlucky week!
Maybe im forced to take a break or sumthing cos things happened to prevent me from working twice this week!

First it was the accident on tuesday.. Was on my way to teach when it happened snd that lesson was cancelled..

Then, as i was heading towards punggol and then seng kang for tuition, the thunderstorm caused a tree to fall and block up 2 out of 3 lanes of the road.


The jam was so massive that i hardly moved and even had the chance to take the photo.. Post on facebook and sms pple..

Bcos of the jam, it was impossible to head over ro senhkang for 2 lessons.. So im back home resting..
What a week!

the accident

It happened today as i was about to head to my next lesson.. Well to cut the story short, the driver must have been dreaming and did not stop at the red light and so crashed into my car as i was turning out from a lane..
Cldnt avoid it cos there was another car turning beside me and he managed to stop..

But cos my vision on the right was blocked by the mpv, i couldnt see that the car had not stopped at the traffiv light..

Luckily no one was hurt.. But my poor babes front and raddiator got damaged and the fluid leaked out..





This sounds so much like my pri sch kids compo...

Anw, nice people came up to ask if i was ok
And offered to be witnesses.. So nice!! And the driver who crashed kept apologizing and even smsed later to ask if i was ok..

And thankfully mum in law had a good contact to help me with the tow and claims.. By the time i was done filing the report for accident, the other guy was still waiting for his tow truck..

Oprimistically speaking, i will get a new front part for my car n i only got a sprained ankle.. and am grateful to trav for taking me to the hospital..
He was quite a joke when he entered the doctors room.. I was in the room 1st and he came in later cos he had gone to the foodct.. He came back into the doctors rm with a greedy look and fruits in his hand.. I had to hold back my laughter..
Then he grabbed the doctors chair, wanting to sit on it.. And the doctor told him solemnly.."its my chair"..

My husband is just such a joke.. He doesnt even have to try being funny.. Great for days like these!
I Instantly feel well already!

And i just remembered i had a night mare last night where the boat i was in got swept by a whirlpool and i was really afraid i was going to die.. And sum1 pulled me out onto dry land and i recalled saying " im ok im ok..."
This was exactly what i said after the accident! Probably some kind of premonition huh..

travs hangout at the fishing pond

Our usual weekend hangout.. Travs fav place and hobby..I love the place too cos its away from urbanisation and everyone there is nice!

He dresses like this to fish..

I usually bring him luck cos he always catches something when i arrive..today he caught this 3.5 kg grouper when i arrived..!! Sweet!!

It was extra nice today cos our friend at the pond was throwing a celebration for his kids burfday.. Everything at the bbq was ultra fresh! Red snapper caught by trav, prawns straight from the saltwater pond...

We even had our own drunken prawn made there

They Poured xo into the aluminium tray and held the foil down but in the end it was torn cos the prawns were so violent.. Pretty ingenious way of cooking huh.. And yea the prawns turned out superb!

It was a nice party.. Simple and cosy..

our 3rd trip to the zoo

I love animals so trav and i visited the zoo again 2 weeks ago.. There was a thunderstorm that day.. So our trip was kinda wasted and we only managed to see a few animals cos they were all hiding..



Love this cartoon!! So cute!!



We were waiting for the kids animal show to start when it started to pour with thunder and lightning.. Otherwise, i could have watched my fav little cats and dogs perform at this super cute set..


They cuddled so close together cos the storm and wind was really scarily huge.. And we saw one monkey scratching his hand just like us.. And for some reason, it looked so much like trav hubs hands..

skinny pizza

Finally got to try it! We had the mushroom pizza and i must say it is the best ive ever had! Ive always felt guilty after having pizza cos of the oily crust and toppings, but this is almost oil free!!

Im so going back for more!

It's my birthday!!

Its my bitrhday today and Im so happy despite having a swollen foot and little toe from my injury last week.. at least I managed to run for a while today and had quite a good workout on the machines..

Celebrations started last wk with trav on Sat and dinner with my family and in laws.. so happy that everyones getting along so well!

And there were so many birthday wishes when I got back from the gym.. so nice to see!

Birthday shopping starts in a bit, but thats if my feet can stand the walking and all for that long..I havent been able to wear heels for the past week (bimbo talk), so I had to match my clothing to my flats all of last week...=(

 (another bimbo talk) 

 I had to drag my foot to the gym last week! Couldnt really wear socks, so I tried to fit my foot into the shoes and used the crosstrainers only..



My foot and toe.. this is the not so disgusting picture already, of my foot..
(pls ignore the hairs on my toe)

Anyway, its wierd to show a picture of my foot on a post that says its my birthday...
So Im off for burthday shopping!

Wedding preparations and counting down to the day

Xmas Gingerbread house at ORchard Hotel where our wedding will be.. Everything on it is EDIBLE!

Its been tiring having to juggle so much work and the preps for this Sunday.. So glad to have our parents who are more excited than us to help with the guest lists and management.

Some people are just super inconsiderate, acting as though they are some VIPs.. refusing to reply if they are attending...

Too bad.. we did not leave sets for them. neither did we send invites.. These are the people who reply saying "I will let you know later" when we ask them 2 weeks before the wedding.. not 2 months or 6 months away..

So when is later huh?

And then there are the best friends who will do anything to turn up, like change their flights just to attend the wedding, and those who feel totally bad for not being able to attend but send wishes so that we dont leave seats for them at the banquet..

Just cant wait for it to be over and get off to Taiwan cos Ive been working too hard..

Freshlook Illuminate Lens

Had a chance to be one of the Freshlook Illuminate Brand Ambassodors at their event last week. It was a great marketing campaign with us trying on the lens and doing a photoshoot at the event itself in the open area of Plaza Singapura.

I've always been wearing cosmetic lens but nothing felt as comfortable as the Freshlook Illuminate Lens. It was very light and my eyes could really breathe. Do not have any photos to post yet, but hope the photo turns out well..

ticket for little girls!

Trav took me to the arcade to play one day, and played the games that dispensed tickets so that I could go change for little gifts, like the little pencil here =)
Just like how I did when I was a little girl..
