I am alive!

And I’ve been a bad, bad blogger. So bad that you ought to have me on your lap so that you can give me some good spanking. But we both know that you don’t want that to happen so let’s just pass.

Work and life has been keeping me really busy and I really find it hard to update this space of mine. I won’t say ‘sorry’ because I don’t owe you guys any updates and I won’t promise anything because I probably won’t fulfil any as well.

Some PR agencies have probably given up on me as well because I’ve been attending events and have not been sharing my experiences even though I enjoyed most of it. So much for being in the social media scene and not practising what I preach. Even KuKuNehNeh nags at me about those posts.

My health has been really bad for the last 2-3 months and it pretty much killed the biggest event that I was looking forward to for the year. I had to give the Standard Chartered marathon a miss as my fitness level was not up to mark with all the flu and cough that plagued me like no tomorrow. I have however not given up at running my first marathon and I have signed up for next year’s Adidas Sundown marathon for the 21km event to prepare me for the Standard Chartered marathon at the end of 2010.

I am in the midst of stabilizing the priorities in life and deciding on the next big thing. There is something quite unsettling about turning 28 this Christmas and wondering why I haven’t been able to say, “This is what I want to do for the next 30 years.” My laid back personality is probably the cause of this uncertainty and I’d like to think that it’s high time I find what I want to do for the next chapter in my life before I can confidently ask someone to spend the rest of her life with me.

“Good things come to those who wait…”

So… happy waiting for my next blog post!

Meanwhile, catch me on Twitter and Plurk where I update much more frequently!

We had a very tight schedule for the night after work yesterday and ended up asking KuKuNehNeh’s (KKNN) parents to help buy some takeaway for us to save time.

So we were eating from the same packet of fried beehoon when we realized that it wasn’t going to fill neither of us up. We were down to the last 5-6 mouthfuls when I decided to let her have it all being the AWESOME bf that I am. :p

Me: “Eh dear, you can finish the rest of the beehoon. I had enough.”

KKNN: “No dear, you finish it up. You must be hungry.”

“Ah? But I’m sure it’s not enough for you. I am not that hungry now.”

“No, no. You eat it!”

“Er…. okay lor.”

As I begin to finish up the rest of the food, she suddenly jumps up and had a wonderful grin on her face as she exclaimed,

“HEHEHEHEEE… I go get my big pack of Kettle potato chips to eat.”

And she skips happily away to get her cheddar chips.

That was probably her plan all along to leave space for the above…

I love this woman to bits!

Singtel INQ Mini 3G was launched at Civic Plaza and bloggers & celebrities were invited to attend the very nicely set up containers in front of Ngee Ann City.

Twitter, being a integral selling point of the INQ Mini 3G, coupled with the enthusiasm of the bloggers in the same room as Dawn, made her pretty interested in figuring out what Twitter is.

"Twitter si simi lai eh?"

Randall shows the ropes

Dawn Yeoh signs up

Unlike the America where most celebrities have more or less embraced social media, especially Twitter; only a handful of local celebrities have actually done the same. Thanks to Randall and the bloggers, Dawn Yeoh and Jesseca Liu have at least signed up for Twitter and we await with baited breath if they will actually use their accounts regularly. Go add em and urge them on!

KuKuNehNeh and I were walking around AMK Central after a very heavy breakfast at KFC during the weekend when she said that she wanted to try eyebrow threading. It was probably the unsavoury waffles and omelettes sitting in my stomach that spoke when she asked, “You wanna try threading too?”

I said, “Ok.”

It was akin to standing hundreds of feet up on a precipice with nothing but a rope attached to your legs when I lay on the chair thinking, “Er…. why did I sign up for this?”

I will probably be sounding whiny from this moment on as it was BLOODY PAINFUL! Who in the right frame of mind would sit there and let someone rip your eyebrows out using threads? I involuntarily teared while the attendant (probably) smirked as she see this grown man wearing pink, sniffing (had a runny nose lar!) and tearing at her every move.

I have to admit that my eyebrows look so much neater after the threading. I am just thinking that maybe….just MAYBE… that the pain that eyebrow threading causes is worth it.

Can’t tell how much better my eyebrow looks?

Let me show you a ‘before’ pic.
