Enjoyable week so far

Have been Facebooking quite frequently recently and I like the feature whereby I can send my status via SMS and it updates both Twitter site and Facebook. Haha! But it seems that there are some problems with mobile Twitter, it failed to update both sites...

Finally made up my mind to buy Tomb Raider: Underworld and I got addicted to it! Played the game for hours the moment I laid my hands on it once I was free on Saturday, and I managed to rest for about four hours before I left home on Sunday morning to go to Pulau Ubin.

And yes, to Pulau Ubin for my cycling trip with Leo, Jimmy and Dennis which I thought that the cycling "expedition" is just road and gravel tracks. I've never thought of experiencing super bumpy and humpy dirt trails! Luckily we didn't go for the most dificult trails, the Double Black Diamond. But I enjoyed the down slopes , quarry view and coconut drinks as we rested along the way. In conclusion, the cycling trip was "breath-taking" (literally). Do watch out for some photos upload in my photo blog!

Went for my facial on Monday evening after my work, which I realised that it was already my sixth session! This time round the session was a painful one, because of the sun exposure on Sunday, the extraction made me teared! *sobs* Then after my facial, I went dinner with Leo at Mos Burger as it was already quite late. I'm loving Natsumi Teriyaki Chicken burger and the corn soup! And yes! Their apple pie is back!

Had my haircut on Tuesday and I dyed my hair too this time round since I have more time than previous sessions. Good to have Heatha at Tampines branch since Ivan had left to Jurong Point. But I have not gotten my VIP card yet which made me paid cash instead of deducting the money from my account. DI'IS SUCKS! Haha~

Supposed to hit the gym on Wedesday, however went dinner with Shah at Orchard instead before meeting Leo at Tangs. It was Citibank Tangs Sales and we bought some Keihl's products. Time to kickstart for Great Singapore Sale maybe?

I've decided to jog tonight and so did I! We went for a relatively slow jog from my house to Punggol Park, made a round in the park before hitting back to my house. It was a good and comfortable run of 7.8km, nice pace and breathing speed!

Tomorrow is Eat-With-Your-Family Day where I can knock off at 5pm. I wonder what time will I be able to leave office...?

Random thoughts while at work

Random thoughts off my mind, haven't been doing much major stuff recently except that I drove up to Malaysia where my mum's hometown is and I stayed the night before driving back to Singapore. That was the very first time I drove up with my aunt's vehicle guiding in front of me. I shall try driving to Melacca next time. Hehe...

And I just realised that I haven't been to a club since God-know-when-was-the-last-time-I-went-Zirca! Not sure if I will be going after my exams.

Yeah, talking about my exams. I think I'll pass the one which I took last week, and the coming two exams should be kinda challenging. Afterall, I have not been writing for so long! -.-

My new work environment is better than my previous one, although work seems to be neverending too. Understanding bosses and hardworking assistants are nice to work with. Haha

No promotion for me this year, which everyone kept asking me because I'm supposed to be due for one this year. Well, frankly speaking I'm not really hardup for one. If one asks me whether I'm really disappointed, I would say that I may if I take considerations that I've been getting a "B" grade constantly and yet I'm not eligible for one. But heck, it's considered a bonus for me if I get it and too bad if I don't. Life goes on, work comes still. And I don't have to trouble myself to change my facial appointment which falls on the same day as the promotion ceremony. Haha~

Last but not least, I've been Facebooking like nobody's business! I'm loving it! Still! =]

Stop using Hydroxycut

Slimming supplement linked to cases of liver injury in US; distributor recalling products here
By Shuli Sudderuddin, Straits Times

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) is warning consumers to stop using Hydroxycut products.
Made by Iovate Health Sciences USA, they are being recalled in the United States due to reports of serious adverse reactions there.

Hydroxycut, a slimming supplement used by people trying to shed kilos and by bodybuilders to better define their muscles, has been linked to 23 cases of adverse reactions affecting the liver, including one death due to liver failure.

Hydroxycut products are distributed by Global Active in Singapore through GNC outlets and other retail outlets, including pharmacies. They are also sold over the Internet.

To date, no local reports of adverse reactions have been received in relation to the consumption of Hydroxycut products.

However, the HSA is concerned and does not want consumers to be exposed to any health risk. Global Active has initiated a voluntary recall of Hydroxycut products here.

The HSA advises consumers who have been taking them to stop doing so immediately and discard them. If they experience any adverse reactions or feel unwell, they should seek medical advice.

Symptoms of liver injury include jaundice, brown urine, nausea, vomiting, light-coloured stools, excessive fatigue, weakness, stomach or abdominal pain, itching and loss of appetite.

A GNC spokesman said the company started recalling the products after it was informed early yesterday by GNC in the United States.

Said the spokesman: 'GNC stores in Singapore have sold Hydroxycut for about 10 years. It had helped many shed some excess weight.
