its been 2 days since i last took a puff. think its been easier this time as compared to all my previous attempts, its not really considered as attempts because i really did stop smoking for quite some time before succumbing back into the habit again. i remember clearly i used to suffer from horrible withdrawal symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, feeling lousy the whole day and every little thing that went wrong would make me 'snap' and was just easily irritated. now i suffer from none of those but instead i have alot of craving for different kinds of food and im perpetually looking for stuff to snack on. abit like how pregnant woman behave? although im not quite sure cuz i havent really been through pregnancy??
u all muz be thinking y i've suddenly decided to quit smoking? honestly im not quite sure myself i juz thought its about time i stopped or i'd never get down to doing it? i find it amazing myself that im finally beginning to think straight? haha. it really takes massive amt of determination in not succumbing to temptation. picking up a ciggie is really easy but try having a ciggie put in front of u and not having to pick it up... its like HELL.
so now the plan is to quit smoking altogether. and smally chummy stop smoking in front of me, its abt time u quit too! dun gimme the crap abt quitting next yr! *faints* after i stop smoking and which by then i'd have put on hell lotta weight becuz of the snacking, i will need to start planning a regular exercise regime. that is of course provided if i keep to it! well if i can quit smoking i dont see y i cant be determined to lose all the excess baggage! pls wish me luck..

lazy days...
its been quite a few days since i got down to blogging. wkends now are purely for drinking, chilling and staying out till late which explains y i nv have the time to blog about my interesting wkends? haha like real. ok lets backtrack abit... i think i left off from last thursday? i shall start from thursday anyway cuz i cant think back any further than that!
THursday
went to MOS with nickers and ah yin. there were 2 others who were supposed to go but somehow didnt turn up. well its alright, had silly fun with these 2 buddies of mine. had a couple of weird incidents too but i shan't touch on that.
FRiday
after like 2hrs of rest, headed off to work. was pretty ok and alive until i had to go outdoors for a couple of sales calls. think the oh-so-hot weather killed me. went back to the office and started to malfunction shortly after. chummy warned me big big time not to go clubbing the night before if i had to work the next day cuz she says im not gettin any younger, think she's afraid i might juz drop dead and die?? lol so after work we went to our fav n most convenient watering-hole, paul's. quite a turn out only missing my other chums. even mr gopal came! wld have been more fun if i was more 'alive'... haha
SAturday
decided to go for a haircut before going to meet chums for dinner. aye it took so darn long, thats the thing abt being off on wkends like everyone else... sighs. dropped chums a msg to tell her i might be slightly late cuz i was at the hairdresser's and she replied 'no worries but you really didnt have to get your hair set just for this date..' i was laughing so hard i nearly died and everyone ard me thought i was CRAZY. oh wells thats my chums and thats y i love her so much, so full of shit. had dinner at food republic in wisma then headed over to emerald hill no. 5 cuz chums was supposed to do some mystery shopping for her friend for their services. got kinda bored so we headed back down to wala wala's...
SUnday
had lunch with m at taka's coffeeclub. its been awhile since i last went there. had my regular ceasar salad with rosemary chicken. tasted as good as before maybe even better? booked tickets to watch no reservations at cine. i like that show. its a no-brainer and kinda predictable but i personally feel its a rather suitable movie to catch on a wkend when u dont really feel like reading too much into the plots and stuff? and its the lovey dovey awwwwwwww kinda movie that one will definitely like! after the movie shopped ard abit and can u all believe it, i actually thought of helmi while i was in G2000 gazing at an array of neckties. reminded me of helmi and how i didnt quite like his tie at work :P so i decided to buy him ties! got m to pick out a few ties and i narrowed it down to the 2 i finally chose. but of cuz i didnt get them from G2000 cuz its kinda pricey. hee. anyways helmi... hope u like them and u muz really wear them hor!!!!!! or i'll boycott u too at work!!

"unlimited power"?
didnt work today and almost the whole sales team has to go down to expo to attend some 'motivational cum inspirational' talk by the 'world-famous' anthony robbins, stephen pierce and allan pease. given normal circumstances i wld be very happy if i didnt have to work but it was sucha torture keeping myself awake and fighting the hunger for most part of the seminar that i really thought i'd be better off at work. oh btw thankfully chummy was driving or it'd be sucha hassle travelling there!
the talk started off with allan pease, i think of all the 3 speakers he was the only one who made sense. analysed alot on human behaviour and such. pretty interesting. his part went on for abt 2hrs before we headed off for like a 20mins break. everything ard was so crowded we decided to stay put and luckily for me i rushed out in the morning to buy some rations to tide us over.
next up was anthony robbins himself. he's huge... as in like really bigggg sized. and he was so full of crap. dont understand y everyone felt so entertained. i felt awkward like as if we were in some cheesy church congregation. reminded me of the times when i used to patronise this church that alot of youths go to and 1 of the pastors ended up becoming a pop star.. *shudders* it wasnt too gd an experience for me. similarties between the two... 1) in church we'd always raise our hands and say 'hallelujah', in this seminar he made everyone raise they hands and say 'aye'. 2) in a charismatic church they always make u stand and sing along and wave ur hands ard frantically, in this seminar same lor keep makin us stand and jump and hop and wriggle to the music. 3) in church the pastor wld say the sinners' prayer and we'd repeat after him, in this seminar he made us chant some dumb verse after him over and over again, i thought they sounded like some cult! this guy spoke for abt 3.5hrs before we breaked for lunch. and again we didnt bother to go out to get anything cuz there were too many ppl ard. got AW to da bao nasi lemak from qiji. it was like the most satisfying nasi lemak i had ever had.
the last part came stephen pierce... this guy was the WORST of the 3. intolerably boring! he's like a multi-millionaire.. and so thats wad he says.. he was trying to like 'teach' us his methods to earn money over the internet. being an IT idiot if i cld close my ears im sure they'd auto fold inwards and juz not listen to him at all. gosh... he was so boring we left half way thru to go to the john little sale juz 2 halls away from us and i spent like $50+ buying toiletries and munchies. haha. we tahan until abt 6pm and by then more then a good half of the people had already left. and so this pierce guy started his sales pitch and, all askin ppl to buy his stuff. he was like selling a membership card for $9,887 and some package for $47,587!!!! thats ALOT of money dude... but im quite sure there muz have been crazy or ppl who r too rich who took them up. geeeeee... and so we left shortly after. whole day wasted juz like that. i left there, still uninspired/unmotivated/unimpressed.. or issit juz me?? i'll nv wanna go to such things again.. dun understd how come the rest of the people there seemed so enthusiastic and they all looked like they left as better people? hmmmms...
we left expo ard 630 and headed to bedok for 'bar chor mee' woooohooooo.. its been awhile since i last had that, if chummy didnt mention abt it i'd nv have thought of goin there. heh we had bar chor mee, carrot cake and chicken wings for dinner. YUMMY! i muz thank chummy for bringing me ard today and entertaining me during my most boring hour... hahahaaaaaaaaa

i cant believe i missed blogging abt last friday..
i was juz reading chummy's blog then realised that i totally missed out mentioning abt friday... haha. anyways we left work rather early considering i still had alot left to do. well there's always monday to complete it. i cant really be bothered anymore. met up with an ex-colleague whom its a pity i didnt get to work under her. the other chum's was supposed to come too but oh wells she cldnt make it. ah dot came along too. she's damn funny lo. she can be the script-writer, director and actress all at the same time. full of crap.
and so we were gossiping over our beers at paulaner's as usual. its like a weekly affair thingy. and all our gossip mainly revolved ard 1 person, she must've been sneezing her nose off. :x great way to chill out. chummy can we like do this every week, can u cheat taxidoor into signing a permanent agreement? heehee
moving on to today.. didnt do much. woke up and glued myself to the telly to catch up on the drama serial on forensic stuff cuz they rerun the whole wk's episodes on sundays. after that i glued myself to the computer. felt fat so decided to go for a jog.. i actually got down to doing it, cant believe it! went for an hr but out of that hr half the time i was walkin cuz i was so FRICKING breathless. best part all those ppl who walked past me and were smoking... wa lao i wanted to rob them off their cigs. but i supposed it was due to smoking which contributed to my breathlessness. i need to exercise MORE, smoke less and eventually QUIT and eat alot LESSER! im contemplating to take up a gym membership again but i dun want history to repeat itself. once upon a time i ever joined and paid them mthly subscription for a yr but within that yr i patronised them less than 10times. haha. if i dun go its a bloody waste of money. better think carefully... again it boils down to how determined i am in losing weight before i burst and die from obesity........ *tsk*

i shld think it was an eventful saturday?
made plans to meet up with her today. its been awhile. went for a massage.. it felt sooo good. after that we headed to lido for expensive japanese food. felt i had abit to spend becuz of the backpay increment. after that rushed over to taka to buy myself a new pair of trackies using the taka vchrs i had. not too bad la only had to top up $20 for a pair of reeboks. rushed back to lido to catch ratatouille. it was pretty good. i thought the rat looked cute?! but there were hell lotta kids in the cinema. every now and then some kid wld burst out crying... irritating.
after the movie had to once again rush to marina square for granny's 84th bday dinner, we parted ways at MS. it was good food again at some under-rated chinese restaurant. had some good wines too cuz my uncle brought them along. i didnt even know that restaurant existed.
after dinner, took a cab down to club street to meet her for drinks again. only to find that the place was infested with a whole big bunch of irritating ppl. had a jug of vodka ribena and decided to scoot off to somewhere else. ended up at balaclava cuz she wanted to go there. they have a very sucky variety of beer, even worse than wala's! they dun even have kilkenny or hoe by bottle! ended up drinkin 3 pints of carlsberg until i felt like puking. i dun really enjoy carlsberg. and the bill came up to quite abit! *tsk* didnt stay for long cuz they close at like 1. shared a cab back with her then broke down in the cab... *sighs* i dunno at times i really pity her but like wad can i do? and i dun even know if i wanna do anything or not. my life is pretty ok the way it is. yes, my job may suck or be stressful but at least its a decent job and he feeds me well enough. i may be single but its better to be stuck in a relationship im not really happy with or know ultimately its not gonna head anywhere. i have a couple of chummies and pals that i can count on for company. wad more can i complain? we shld all learn to be contented with wad we have... its a tall task but if we can see things in sucha way, life wld be so much nicer....
