Flu woozies

Yeap, tt nasty flu bug is floating ard again n i think my foghorn cough is making a comeback too...

It seems like I'm exhausted every wkend, tt's cuz i squeeze in intensive gym workouts every sat n sun...
Yest half contamplated nt gg cuz i was reallie feeling e flu woozies bt decidd to go for it, afterall.
The gd thing abt exercising, at least for me is tt it always takes e edge off n i felt alright during e workout bt after i fin my workout, those stinker germs settled right back in their cushy zone n i was sneezing n coughing away again.

Had my first liaison lunch last wk...at a 2 star Michelin French restaurant, Raffles Grill by Jacques & Laurent Pourcel @ Raffles Hotel..
Lobster for appetizer, veal for main, some fancy blueberry sorbet with cream cheese for dessert, red wine n coffee.
Well, it's gd, esp e nicely cooked, juicy veal..
It better be, given e price...
Bt wad i enjoyed most was tt old world colonial charm tt pervades e whole of Raffles Hotel....veri nice n relaxing, reminded me of e time me n Wen went to Goodwood Park for the local high tea buffet...

Raffles Grill by Jacques & Laurent Pourcel

Bt i'm so nt a wine n dine fine lady, hehz, I'm a bread n coffee ger instead..
Felt tt my usual lunch consisting of hmmade tuna mayo sandwiches washed down with dave's fantastic teh deserves a 2.5 Michelin star, at e veri least...

N another lunch scheduled tis coming wk...buffet lunch at The Line, Shangri La Hotel..
hehz, n i'm secretly pleased cuz my colleague n boss hv been raving abt e buffet at The Line bt scroogy me felt it was too ex to pay 50 bucks for lunch n almost 80 for din.
Nw tt i can try it for free... i'm def making a beeline for e dessert table for e scrumptious choco cakes tt A was so crazy abt n oso tt choco fountain where i can dip big, plump strawberries into...
Nippon chaps njoy French cuisine so i'll hv a few more French meals coming up...
When i first started work, I was wondering why we had info abt e types of red wine n etiquette tips, tis explains y..

Oct n Nov will be real busy...n e saddening fact, all cuz of a change in flight...my bdae which falls on a Sat will hafta be spent at e airport n working n all, Sunday's gone as well....
They say to pretend e din at Les Amis to be my bdae celeb..yeah, rite...
n to think i was so excited abt my bdae tis yr cuz for once in dunno hw many million yrs, i'm finally done with exams n wun hafta be buried under readings during my bdae..
Nw, without e exams to bug me, i gotta work during my bdae n over e wkend as well, bugger!

Boss said tis during a course to all e newbies abt our work..."Dun think tt all we do is wine, dine n entertain..."
Blooper...cuz i felt once she said tt, everyone will def think so... n tt is totally nt true, though it does make up a certain portion of our work..
anyway, e wining & dining is y i need to invest so many hrs into working out...
Last wkend, hit Fitness First with Wen, we went for spinning, body pump, ran on e treadmill, lounged in e pool n like wad she said, bitched abt work, tokked abt $ n our future...
She's reallie my best companion for almost everything...shopping, working out, gossiping, career tok, piggin out @ buffets...hehz, despite e fact tt we share no common frens at all!

Was considering gg for bodyjam after bodystep bt my body cudn't take it animore, neither cud i make it for e run on e treadmill, had to stop after 1.5k..
ended up gg to e steamrm to relax first b4 bathing n gg hm n i was so pooped, i slept almost 15 hrs, i think..

Gabs interested in joining up for Standchart half marthie, we've been trying our best to rope her in, hehz..

Saw e banner on e rd e other day..."Standchart Marathon 2005, are u up for it?" N tot to myself...I'm def up for it since I signed up already, prob is i dun no whether I'm UP TO IT..sighhh..
Was considering skipping gym today n staying at hm to whip up a storm in e kitchen n jus bake some delectable delights (hehz, at least i find them delectable) bt no available ingredients at hm n too lazy to go buy so oh well...it's off to e gym again!

Hv been turning down frens a lot n i'm veri sorrie, it's nt reallie tt i'm too busy to go out, jus tt i designate onli 1 or at most 2 days a wk for gg out, e rest r my working out days & 1 day to be my rest day... hehz, once tt particular wk is taken up, e raincheck's gotta be a a few wks ltr..
Yupz...bt I still try my best to hv a decent social life..
I'm gg for Oktoberfest next wkend! Wootsie!

Tap the keg and turn up the oom-pah, for the Erdinger Oktoberfest is here!
For three days of wanton revelry, delicious German fare and great-tasting Erdinger, head down to China Square Central and party to the great taste of an authentic Oktoberfest

Good, old German beer....I like Erdinger....mebbi i'll see Soph there if she's gg...
n tokking abt beer, I went to Molly Malone's last wkend bt tis old Irish pub became a tad too boring n we hopped over to this pub with e freezing theme, Eskimo....inside temp was 10 degrees celsius, white interior with little fans blasting out cold air, tellies screening ski competitions..
They had run out of coats so there i was, positively freezing to death n Heineken beer din do much to warm me up..
Tried a new drink, Whiskey sour which tasted much like lime vodka...n din gif much of a kick..

Next wk is gonna make an absolute pig of me: Buffet Lunch @ The Line, Buffet dinner at Hanabi Jap restaurant n 3 course German meal washed down with beer at Oktoberfest..
I'll most prolly hafta spend e entire wk @ e gym, tt's if i dun hafta stay back in e office...

My bread of life is currently a nice brown toast,perhaps a little too burnt at e edges n hence a tad too tough to chew bt with an interesting variety of fillings n sauces to gif it a veri scrumptious relish at e end, e tang is there bt a certain sthg needs to be added to gif it a more wholesome flavour, i feel...
