Zoo Mania

My two good friends and I started this tradition of planning a surprise trip for the three of us and then this time, one of them planned something and she wanted us to wear something comfortable and bring a face towel as there would be exercise like lotsa walking. So the key words are basically there so me and Nats were basically dressed up for exercise but then in the middle of the trip, we were told that we would be going to the zoo.


My first thought was....'in this?!' looking at my get up of a baggy shirt, shorts and a backpack...hrmph. Oh well. My friend who was a planner was dressed up as she obviously knew what she was going  and Im like..eurgh..I just had to wear this after not stepping in the zoo for awhile. Oh well. If there was one saviour, it was only the fact I at least wore mascara for photo taking. So please forgive me if I looked like crap in the pictures below...some of which are courtesy of my friend the 'surprise planner'..heh.

Anyway, what I enjoy about the trip most, as I always have every time I go there, are the tram rides..whee!!! Thank goodness we were in it when it was raining heavily of which the tram captain had to stop for awhile at a train stop which seemed to take like forever but I know it was coz of the rain. And I just love touching the kangaroo and by then I understood why the heck they put the sign 'kangaroo crossing' when all of a sudden, it went underneath the barrier and out in the open with us. 


Lunch was nice...specially prepared by my friend. It was cold pasta salad eaten with baked beans and we ended the meal with a Ben & Jerry ice cream. Mine was 'fish food' which yah, gave me goosebumps as me and fish, er..we're not exactly on good terms but narh, it was actually chocolate pieces which looked like fish. But it was nice......extra nice coz it was treated by Nats. Ah, love that girl.


cheated!

We stalked him and he posed with us willingly with branches extended..heh.

Perfect setting for drama queens!

I touched a kangaroo!

A big bird sitting pretty.

Showing off its strength.


The ever friendly kangaroo!

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
