Remember those styrofoam airplanes / birds that the school book shop would sell? Pretty costly at $0.50 a packet. It consist of 2 pieces of styrofoam and a plastic propeller to place at the tip of the plane / bird in order to make it fly. Here are the pictures of the toys I'm talking about courtesy of Google:
Ring any bells? =P
You can choose the design that you want by just looking at the picture on the wrapper. Anyway I could never afford these as my allowance was only $0.60 max in primary school. If I were to buy that it means I'll have to starve. @_@
Well that doesn't mean that I didn't get to play them. There are always rich classmates that would buy them and let you admire their prize procession. If your close enough with them, they will even let you have a go at it. Hee hee!
Wonder if they are still on sale. Guess I need to look for those dingy dusty traditional provision shops. Wonder if styrofoam would disintegrate with time. =P |

Well time flies and it's the last day of 2009. Been busy training for my running in the year of 2009 hence there are nothing much to update for this year. Here are the hits & misses for me this year (in no particular order):
Hits =)
(1) Embraced our Peranakan heritage proudly as a family.
(1) Completed 1 X 8km race + 5 X 10km race with a total of 5 medals collected.
(2) Clocked a personal best timing of 58 mins 17 secs for my 10km race at the GE Women's run.
(3) Bought a mini oven and have been busy baking. My double chocolate chip cookies are to die for and are a hit with many people. =P
(4) Ate humongous snow crabs until I was about to puke. Ha ha!
(5) Finally tried the laksa steamboat which I always ran past while training at Mount Faber. Yummy!
(6) Went for the F1 Grand Prix Night Race without paying a single cent!
(7) Took a plane to Beijing all by myself and tour Beijing mainly by myself while bebe was working there. I love my vacation there! Especially the Forbidden City!
(8) Finally bought my Wii console after waiting for so long.
(9) My best friend Melvin finally published his first scientific paper. Kudos to Dr. Melvin Gay. =P
(10) Received an extremely thoughtful gift from my boss:
Misses =(
(1) Didn't manage to go for my last race on 6th December, the Standard Chartered race, which was the most anticipated race of the year for me due to unforeseen circumstances.
(2) The King of Pop passes away. You'll be dearly missed MJ.
(3) Qala got bought over by M1 and it sucks working at M1.
(4) Been blogging less in the last few months due to the hectic work schedule and dealing with the system migration at M1.
(5) Didn't manage to meet up with my dear, fangfang & vince3019 when they came to SG due to my hectic work schedule. ~_~"
(6) Missed the birthday of my 3 favourite cousins due to another engagement.
Well 2010 looks bleak for me as we will be using the new M1 system and yet we still need to maintain the old system for at least another 6 months. Double work. *Sigh* Seriously I'm dreading 2010.................
Oh well, so as not to be a wet blanket, here's wishing everyone a happy new year and may everyone be in good health. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that maybe one day I strike the grand prize for toto for next year. Then all my misery will be gone. Ha ha! |

I hate the work flow here.
I hate their new system.

Ha ha I know I've been a slacker and have not been updating my blog recently. Well I'm always too tired to blog in the night after a day at work. Hitting the sack at 10pm or slightly later. Yes it's very early I know. Coming from someone who used to game online till the next morning. *Yawn* Guess I'm getting old or just growing sick of online gaming.
Anyway just over the recent Sitex show, I bought myself a Nintendo Wii console. Pretty good deal. Cost $299 for the console on the condition that you buy 3 games from the same shop. The console already comes with the Wii sports game.
I ended up buying 4 games and have 5 games now.
- Rayman Raving Rabbids
- New Super Mario Bros
- Cooking Mama Cook Off
- Wii Sports Results (Haven't collected it from the shop cause it was out of stock and we pre-ordered it)
I think the Rayman Raving Rabbids is the funniest game of all and a total adrenaline rush. Just do some you tube search on it and you'll know what I mean. Ha ha!
Also bought an extra set Wii remote, Nunchuk and MotionPlus for 2nd player games. Bombing close to $600 in total! @_@
Can't wait for bebe to be back from China and challenge him at the rabbids game. Ha ha! =P
*PS: My arm hurts from too much wii action during the weekend but it was worth it! Ha ha!! |
