Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhd Sh*t

Gooooooooooooodness!

I just read my previous post (it was kinda random), only to find out that my english deteorioriated (I mean deteriorated...) !!!

It's like BOOMS! And it's all gone! *sob sob*

I wanted to edit my english (which I apparently didn't before publishing it to the world), but I thought, "nah, you all should read my terrible english". Haha!

Well, I'm not ashamed of my english, but I believe that I can do abit more to improve it. Like speaking without all the "lahs", "lohs" and "lehs". Its tough! Really! Being a Singaporean without these 3 incorporated into my sentences will literally kill me. HAHAHA!

But seriously, I don't want my kids to end up asking me, "mommy, can I get a bigini wid zibbra preens?" I'd be so upset with myself, and I believe Jeremy will KILL me. I know he has been very anal with how people (especially me) carry themselves. A little bit of singlish wouldn't kill, but it'll snowball into a huge mess if it ain't handled with properly.

I was talking to his brother about green bean soup and he told me that I sounded like an "ah soh". OMG, I almost flipped. I wanted to smack him and tell him, "I'm being myself!" But well, on hindsight, I probably didn't sound very poised. What do you expect? I'm Singaporean (my favourite excuse).

Conclusion: Let's all practise good english.

Just 45 minutes away.

Where could be 45 minutes away?

Darling and I went to Batam! =)

We reached Batam at 8.45am, checked into the hotel, and went straight out to the city. Taxis were over priced and was in S$ (from the hotel). We had to pay S$20 just to go to Nagoya Hill Shopping Centre. But it Batam View was very far away, probably 40mins away from town.


^Nongsapura Ferry Terminal, Batam.


^Batam View Resort, Batam.


^In the car on the way to Nagoya Hill Shopping Centre.

== Day 1 Brunch! ==

Upon reaching Nagoya Hill, we went to search for a mamak stall (those selling fried noodles and rice) and we managed to find 1, which is just next to the Nasi Padang stall that I went last December. Knowing bahasa indonesia was really a plus, we could order what ever we wanted to eat without "sign language". What I love most is the indomie goreng. Awesomeness!


^Nasi Goreng Ikan Asin (Salted Fish Fried Rice)


^Fried Kailan


^Indomie Goreng version 1. YUMS. =D

== Day 1 Snack! ==

And so we headed to the shopping centre, only to find out that the clothes that are sold are .... Baaaaaaaaaaaaad. So we ended up at A&W. Haha! There was J.Co Donuts, KFC etc, but Singapore has them all. Don't waste stomach space!


^If it ain't obvious enough, it's A&W.


^SHIOOOOKNESS!

== Day 1 Dinner! ==

After Nagoya Hill, we headed to Megamall, Batam Centre. As usual there was ABSOLUTELY nothing to buy. I only managed to buy 1 top, which darling and I both agree that was the best looking in the whole shopping centre. Sad case. Having nothing to do, we went for tea and talked to a local here. Found out that there were streetside stalls next to the shopping centre selling local fare! WOOT WOOT! So we decided to skip nasi padang (damn!) and headed to the streets.


^Chicken and Mutton Satay with Tapioca Chips and Ketupat.


^I've noticed that all the people eating at the street were the natives.
Darling and I were probably the only chinese. =/ I wonder why.


^Indomie Goreng version 2. The 1st one was nicer.

== Goodies! ==

After dinner, we headed back to the mall and went to shop at the hypermart!


^Our loot.

== Day 2 Breakfast! ==

We woke up late and almost missed breakfast. Eating in the hotel was rather expensive and so we decided to fill ourselves with as much food as possible.


^This is just round 1. =p

After which we decided to walk around the hotel.
The beach, pool, jetty, vegetable farm, fish pond etc.


^The beach. Looks like sentosa eh?


^The Jetty.


^Kelong Restaurant.

More on facebook! =)

Gotta go! Night! =)

And here I am, blogging at work. This shows that there isn't much to do at work, now.

Well, the market is picking up, but there's not much movement in the market today. Maybe I should start trading myself?

All I can think of now is having a looooong holiday. Work is sorta getting mundane nowadays. I'm giving myself 1 year (more or less because of the bond that I've got to serve) to find out if this line is really for me.

The market is picking up, but clients are not increasing or calling me to execute trades for them. I don't want to always have to call them to ask them "How are you?" etc. So superficial. I've already ran out of excuses to call them.

Well, when I get my new namecard, I guess I'll have additional excuse to call them.

Come on! Big money, big money!

On a side note, I'm going to Batam this weekend! WOOHOO~! Very excited. It'll just be Debbie and Jeremy. Noone else.

When will the day ever come?

Will we only become adults when we get married?

Seriously, no matter what, we'll always be this 20-30 odd years younger, so in their eyes, we'll always be babies.

We're 25! Goodness! But I feel like I'm still 15. I destest the way they restrict as if we aren't responsible with our lives. True, you give us life and I'm greatful for that. But we live our lives.

Let loose! Or let go.

What?!

#1122?

Let's hope that at least half of the # 0001 - 1121 doesnt intend to pick it up. Sigh.

Or maybe God has something planned for me in the year 2014? Or maybe I'll strike gold and will be able to purchase a condo in 2 years time?

Maybe I should buy 4D?

Maybe I should buy 1122. Hmmm! It's a sign.

Anyway, I'm forever thinking of holiday, holiday, holiday.

Finally booked the tickets and will most probably be booking the rooms tomorrow. Those 3 guys better book their tickets asap, or I'm gonnnnnnnnna bugggggg them. Send some fleas to Happy and she'll be UNhappy. Hahaha. SO BAD. =p Hope kimchi doesn't have my blog address. (In case you do, I'm just joking!)

ARGH work work work.

Night all!

Adios.
