Happy CNY! May good fortune befall on you!

it's the first day of CNY! i'm sure all of you are looking foward to the goodies and the ang paos. well, i'm not going out yet and my my relatives won't be arriving yet so i'm just sitting here listening to some trance and chilling out while waiting for lunch.

good news! i've found a job! come wednesday i'll be starting work at my new workplace. hope the people will be nice and everything will turn out well. so what has happened to my to-do list? i'm proud to say i managed to do most of the things i've mentioned. let's go through item by item!

1) apply for my BTT at the kovan branch office of the driving centre
this one is not done. haha.

2) change my old bank passbook for a new one (because the old one is all filled up)
yup, check. got my new passbook from the centrepoint branch

3) get whey protein and a shaker (probably going down to the TSW warehouse at toa payoh. save on delivery charges)
went down all the way to the ulu warehouse. the customer service was pretty good. in the end the guy managed to convince me to get this

got the strawberry flavoured one. tastes pretty much like strawberry milkshake. yummy. it's a promo item so i got it at a discounted price and got freebies! like this t-shirt

honestly it's a bit big la. and also this

shaker. also got a free issue of DXL magazine.

4) get a new wallet and some more uhh....inner wear (probably from robinsons)
did get the stuff but not from robinson's though. ended up buying undies from BHG and got the wallet from Taka. i won't be showing any undies but here's some shots of my wallet.

it was on sale so i managed to get it at less than $100. woot~

5) get new gym gear (since there's a sale and i have discount coupon)
surprisingly got it at robinson's because they were having 30% off nike stuff. heh heh.

just a very basic singlet. nothing too fancy.

i think i mentioned this earlier but there isn't much of a chinese new year mood this year so i didn't get down to getting new shoes and everything. i only managed to get one t-shirt after browsing through shops in bugis and walking from one end of town to the other. (from far east to wheelock to wisma to taka to paragon to heeren to cine to centrepoint to PS to the cathay)

it just seems like clothes nowadays either look unappealing to me or just plain overpriced. sigh~

BREAKING NEWS: omg...my fridge just broke down....where to find a place to buy a new fridge today??!!! even if the place is open what are the chances that they are going to deliver now?? of all days.............

okok. in order to salvage the situation we are going to have a steamboat lunch now. be right back.

~~~~ Interlude ~~~~

yup i'm back. just bought a pack of ice from downstairs to keep the remaining stuff chilled longer. probably going down to courts later to get a new fridge.

during chinese new year there will be a lot of fengshui masters who will give readings for the different zodiac signs and such. my personal stand is that it's ok to listen but just don't take it too seriously. especially for the bad things. let's say the prediction is that you will have bad luck in love for the year and you have that mentality in your mind of course nothing good is going to come out of it. it will be a self-fufilling prophecy. it's all in the mind i'd say.

hmm...i'm wondering... i think i should relook at how i do my training and pick up as much from my friends in the gym as possible. need to adjust in order to become stronger. think i'm still quite weak. sometimes it's good to go back to the basics. maybe i can try to have a more focused goal?

oh ya! my new workplace is ok with casual wear (like jeans and tee) for office attire! a good excuse to get more tops. but feel like getting some simple ones. how's topman? cotton on? i'll go have a look after CNY. is there such a thing as post CNY sale? won't be much of a problem since i work in town now. buahahaha

got to run now. byebye~~ have a happy chinese new year!
