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 and where I update much more frequently!

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.

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 and the bloggers, and 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!

Thanks to the KuKuNehNeh(KKNN) and her colleague, we managed to secure two tickets to catch Singapore National Team VS  Liverpool on their pre-season Asian tour. It was held at the Kallang National Stadium which by the way was said to be up for demolition events ago.

We drove down to Kallang a good 2 hours before the match, hoping to beat the crowd and take our time to have our dinner but to our amazement, the area around the stadium was already filled with people dressed in Liverpool garb. As we sat in the stadium and watch the crowd flow in and take the seats around the stadium, I begun to wonder if any one soul was actually here to support their own country, Singapore.

The Liverpool fans that turned up that day was nothing short of amazing. I haven’t been to Anfield ever but if I do not ever go there, this would probably be the closest experience I would ever have. The ‘Kop end’ was magnificent as there were chanting and singing everything Liverpool from the start till the end.

Although I did felt that the atmosphere is not as electrifying as a national game against a team like Malaysia or Thailand. I could sense the a slight struggle between the support for a club they love with loyalty to Singapore.

 

By the way, KKNN is a Manchester United fan and she willingly accompanied me and dressed up in my Liverpool jersey to fit into the crowd. But apparently, such common sense doesn’t seem to apply to everyone.

 

Yup, your eyes are not deceiving you nor is this an edited picture. A bloody idiot dressed in Manchester United’s jersey with the name “Owen” printed on his back strolled down the steps of Kallang for a LIVERPOOL VS Singapore match with jeers and boos from the LIVERPOOL fans and sat himself down amongst LIVERPOOL fans and then proceeded to stand up and wave around while taunting the rowdy army of LIVERPOOL fans.

Yep! He sat there throughout the game unharmed. Only in Singapore I say! Try doing that in England and see what happens to an idiot like that.

Of course idiots come in pairs and we had one guy sitting in front of KKNN who bestowed this ‘fabulous’ view for us throughout the match.

You might say that he was sitting down and was pretty much harmless unless she had a thing for male butt cleavages but right before any exciting goal mouth situation, he would prematurely stand up waving his arms frantically and thus making KKNN miss the action and nothing to watch but his ass.

And her reasoning for not standing up when it happens? She didn’t want to block the view of the people sitting behind her. WAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!!! Poor KKNN…

Not a pretty match to look at but the Liverpool fans that turned up made my day!

 

I finally recovered fully from the flu that plagued me like a sticky booger that wouldn’t leave me for 3 weeks. However good that might sound, it was overshadowed by the fact that I have not been jogging since the onset of the flu and I am (almost) back to square one for my fitness. And guess what? My army half marathon is only 4 weeks away.

I am so dead.

On top of that, I haven’t been feeling up to my usual self lately and feeling quite anti-social. I haven’t been up to my jovial self on nor and definitely not updating my blog as often as I should considering that I should be on a campaign for the SG Blog Awards.

Hopefully, by the end of this post, I can finally get out of my shell…. or closet if you like, and get back into my old groove and continue to terrorize the social media world.

Be afraid. Be very… afraid.
