Shit happens.

This morning was damn lucky to have a warmth, large pile of bird shit landed on my right hand, sliding thru and in between my thumb, index and then dripping from middle finger! Eew~! Lucky there's a coffeeshop just across the road.. and so I went to wash my hands, twice, double checking if there's any remnants before leaving. I washed my hands the 3rd time with plenty of soap in the office. I still cant get the yucky feelings away.. -_- I guess for some pple, they will ask me to use the hand, pick some 4D or toto and go and buy.. coz it's rare, and I tell you, it's the first time!!!

But I'm glad that it didnt land on my body, hair or bag. That's lucky.

Sunday

Bought my pair of shoes from Anna Nucci in Far East plaza.. =) Ying kept saying that the heels are not high enough.. but the problem is.. I dun wear heels at all! So it's best that I keep it short.. so I dun have the worries about trip and fall.. and walking around, wobbly. hee. Will be collecting the shoes from Jurong point branch, coz they didnt have my size.

Tried playing with my itouch.. sleek and nice. But now without the casing - fingerprints are all over! Ying said she wants to get one for me.. ask me dun buy myself.. but then how can!! I cant bring the itouch out without protective cover! Looks too flimsy! haha. Unless she gets one for me and pass it to me, like soon? heh.

That's how I spent my christmas

Yesterday went to KK's ex colleagues christmas bbq at Bishan Loft.. and such a coincidence, I saw my ex colleagues - Eileen and Poh chiam! Not sure about Poh chiam's relationship with KK's ex colleague, but Eileen told me that she was a childhood playfriend or something like that! Such a small world eh. I cant say that I had fun, but to meet up with a good colleague is something to be happy.

I got my Ipod touch! Thanks to KK's sis - she got for me when KK when over to visit her in US.. dear kept it until christmas to give it to me. hee. While I'm typing this, I'm charging the ipod and downloading itunes to transfer the songs. heh. So happy! Dear say this new gadget will keep me busy for the next 4 days, since he is going back to penang this afternoon. Hm.. even without this ipod, I'm still occupied with Facebook's farming! haha! Not to forget, an interesting novel that RJ lent to me. Then I'll be meeting Ying later to see if I can get shoes for my ROM~! Lots of things to do. hee

***

Talking about ROM, here's the checklist:
  • Dress - checked
  • Makeup artist + hair styling - checked
  • Shoes - searching
  • Solemniser - checked, but need signature for consent form
  • Venue - checked
  • Venue decoration - searching
  • Helper - searching
  • Photographer - checked, but need to pay deposit
  • Guest list - still doing!

More or less done lah.. but dear haven decide wat to wear. haha!

Besides ROM issue, we just went for the HDB first appt! Will be going for the 2nd appt on feb next year... and by right in feb, we should get the keys liao.. but then due to nice guys like us and mutual agreement, we decide to give them approx 2 months to move out... that means, I will be getting the house in April, then renovation... probably about june before dear can move in first, instead of renting a room now. hee.

Nothing much to do

There's isnt much to do here at work. Company had announced company holidays on 24 Dec and 31 Dec. =) Yeah! Dun have to come to work!

Had my company christmas lunch yesterday at Rochester Park - Northborders. It's a nice outdoor place and had really reasonable price for set lunches.. 23.90++ for 3 course lunch with 1 drink. I will definitely visit there again. =) I think it will be a nice chill out place at night!

Old school days

There's really nothing much for me to do today, except to rest and recover my flu and muscle ache... but since I have the time, I did a mini spring cleaning to throw/donate away any unwanted items.. that's when I found this......



An Aiwa cassette player with radio function! I still remember the day when mine broke down and ta dah~!! Dad bought me a new one that night. I was the luckiest one among my siblings. Dad really dote on me. I didnt test it out.. but i strongly believe that it is still working. I have been keeping it with me for years and years.. even though it was replaced by the discman then, followed by receiver, to the current MP3 player. But now, its time for it to go. I'm going to donate to sembcorp, to see if there are anyone else who find this useful.

Since I decided to donate off my casette player, then there's no use for me to keep those casettes that I bought! Here's my collection. I know it's not a lot, but those were my treasured items back in school days!



From left to right: 2x Jimmy Lin, 3x Aaron Kwok, 1x Media corp 金枕头 soundtrack, 4x Jeff Chang, 1x Ann kok, 1x Daniel Chan, 1x mediacorp 唱作剧佳... and 1x a guy name "tian jing" -my sis's.

Those casettes are over a decade old!! I just checked those tapes and they were not moldy at all! Thanks to my safekeeping - away from light and moisture. hehe.

Goodbye my beloved items. May you find someone who is interested in you like how I did in the past.

How nostalgic.

Sickly

Feeling sick. Had been having runny nose for 2 days and for the 3rd day it has become slightly block. Swallowing makes my throat+nasal area pain.. Mum made for me honey drink to bring to office today. Head felt heavy and I really feel like taking MC, but I didnt. Coz it's busy for fusion unit today. Everyone's on leave, leaving the 2 of us. If I take mc, probably Ju gotta make a comeback and do fusion!

Anyway, hope this lousy feeling will be gone soon. Maybe it's the teppanyaki burger from Macdonald that made me felt worse. That burger taste really weird. Definitely wont eat again. BUT I have always like the shaker fries... so I hope I can recover fast and have that again. hehe.

24 November 2009

"Lonely" day

There're a few new stuff going around me.. to the extend that I'm lazy to blog about it (besides those gifts that I mentioned in the previous post). Heh. First, dear got his Nikon D5000 DSLR from US! He had a "fun" time taking pictures of cosplayers and figurines when we went to the AFA09 last Sunday.. Some cosplayers really went "all out" and the character from the anime seemed to come alive! So cool! Pictures were posted on FB yesterday.. so you guys may want to take a look. heh.

Also, dear had finally got rid of his HTC touch Pro and changed to blackberry bold. He's been waiting loooong for this! Imagine he spent some time to call up ALL starhub and its distributors to ask if there's any stock available! For me, I renewed my M1 contract and got W508 - flip phone for free~! Yippee! I love flip phones =) haha. This is the first time I use SE phone. Had some difficulties navigating around. Need more time to adjust!

Oh, by the way, I was selected (or somehow volunteered) to be in the recreational committee for next year! Haha. VH and SP are together with me... and as expected, a Jap is nominated to be our Chairman... sigh.. but its ok! Just sign and approve whatever cost that we made~! hee.

Today's lonely... Koby and ZX went to Europe (separately)... VH went to church camp, leaving SY and me in the lab.. or rather, in the office. heh. She got nothing much to do, but i do have some protein purification stuff and lysate thingy to do.. on and off during the waiting time, will be my free time - like now. haha!

22 November 2009

My gifts from Dear's US trip.

Dear got this for me when he was transiting in Tokyo. Micropets~! Hee. We saw this in our last Japan trip, but the model I wanted was sold out. So he got it for me when he saw this again.. It a "robot dog" that will response to your finger tapping on the table to sing, walk and dance! Cute~!



Then I asked dear to get a coach wristlet for me... to use it when I'm going to a short jalan jalan. =)


I need a new pair of sneakers (my converse is getting old and "lose" coz I got a wrong size the other time). Tadaa~~~ coach sneakers~! hee. The size is just nice, light and comfy. I like it~! Thanks dear for bringing all the way back for me~!


21 November 2009

He's coming home....

With gifts for me! Haha~!

Will be meeting up my friends to go see see my ROM dress.. and then evening time I will have to go to the airport to help him lull all his luggage back home. =)

19 November 2009

Hardworking.... working hard.. haha!

Work is hectic this week. Boss saw us working through lunch hour and decided to give us a pizza treat for the whole company! So nice~! At the end of the day, he also announced that we could actually leave earlier at 5pm if we had our work done.. But! no one left coz somehow, it felt strange.. ZX still had western blotting to continue.. and for some of the girls, we just continue to discuss our proposal for next year Recreation Committee budget.. to be submitted to the board next Thurs.. and that HR wants us to produce preferrably on MONDAY. Anyway, just copied and pasted last year's proposal, added in $$$ and estimated # of pax.. and DONE~!

I'm looking forward to dear coming back this weekend. Awaiting my Coach wristlet and Coach sneakers. Haha.. yeah! "Branded" shoes~! wahaha~! I got some discussion with dear to do as well. hehee~~

Strange encounter

I was at Tampines area yesterday... loitering, so as to waste some time before going Eunos to meet my ex-colleagues at 5.30pm. Being thirsty and tired I bought a bottle of mineral water from cold storage and sat outside to rest my tired feet.. Around 4pm, a lady came up to me and sat beside me, saying that she's reaching 60 and was very tired after walking around, getting avocados and some vegetables... I smiled at her.. and she continued her conversation, talking about love, life and money. She told me about her family background, in a mixture of english and cantonese. She talked about her stocks and donations, the number of condos and platinum cards she’s holding, the picture of her god (guanyin) and pictures of her dead mum that she carried in her wallet, and she named her maid as beneficiary if she passed away next time. I dun think she’s bluffing me about her being rich…. Coz while she opened her wallet, there was a stack of 50 dollars.. a STACK. She also told me about her 2nd hand rolex… how greedy her step-sister – getting 8 million from her dad and said it’s not enough.. how her sister pitied her for being single…but instead she pitied her sis for getting married coz her husband is having affair outside. Blah blah blah.

She told me about a lot of things.. but its too lengthy to carry on writing. I bide her farewell and thank her after an hour of chat, coz she somehow helped me to pass my time…. I shook her hand and went off. When I turned my head and look back, she was not there anymore.

Is she feeling lonely deep down inside?

11 November 2009

Pre-marital blues

I think I'm having it.

I'm so stressed.

Seems like there's a forever to do list.

- Comparison of packages

- Tons of communication

- Planning and scheduling

- Deadlines

- Money

Is it worth to go through all that trouble? Yes. But its tough walking through this... it's not as simple as ABC for our case.

08 November 2009

Preparations

We bought our wedding bands from Love and Co yesterday, after comparing prices between Lee Hwa and Soo Kee. Although Love and Co wasnt the cheapest one, but it's definitely the one that we both like, and decided. [The wedding bands are slightly over our budget, and I use to think they can be bought at a cheaper price!] Anyway, we can only collect our rings on early Jan, coz they need to custom make. =)

Somehow, we've already decided on the venue too. The Jewel Box. Just need to contact the wedding event organiser for the details.

Now we have to do is to find a solemniser, get his/her consent form first, before submitting the date online.

Concurrently, we need to find a photographer for the ROM as well.

As for me, I have to start to go around hunting for the ROM dress. So many things to do!

And Dear is flying off on TUESDAY and i wont be seeing him TIL 22 Nov. See how much are we going to accomplish....

02 November 2009

Yo, I'm back here once again. (Long post~!)

SATURDAY:
Went to orchard to visit Ion (yes, I didnt step into orchard for like, mths.) and then caught a movie at Cineleisure. So first, we went cine to get our tickets and then walked all the way to Ion... I told dear that it's going to rain soon and he said "nah. It won't." So, when we got bored of the ion (we didnt even went above level 2) and wanted to move on.. we stepped out and there's a thunderstorm going on~! Then we had to get down to the MRT station to link up to wistma, and then Taka. That was the furthest we could go under shelter.... and the underpass was CRAMP like sardine~! We walked around and had our dinner at Taka... and also went up to the civic plaza to see those poor guys at the subaru asia challenge! After the rain, there was still quite a number of ppl standing tall~! Hm.. I wonder what's the result for this time...

Then, seeing the rain got smaller, we decided to dash to Cineleisure... we hung around til the time to go into the cinema, and we were supposed to watch My sister's keeper.. yes, a second time for me, coz i think it's worth watching again... but never did we know that when we got into the cinema, the show started by saying "chapter one.... blah blah blah.." EH?? My sister's keeper starting was not like that.. we felt strange and thought we were in the wrong theatre.. dear got out and looked around, and indeed it's Hall 2. I quickly dig out the tics and it stated Hall 2, LOve. Gosh. The sales person give us the wrong tickets!!! So we had no choice but to continue with watching... Love Happens. Haha. That taught us a lesson to check the tickets before we leave the counter.

SUNDAY:
Brought Yixin to IMM with mum, since she had recover from her fever... She was well behaved too, getting up without crying, so we brought her out to a treat, to buy some dresses and vcd for her.

We walked around IMM and then went into giant, kids section . Yixin was not a greedy girl.. after she chose a dress, she didnt want the others.... we didnt want her to come all the way here to buy only 1 piece, so we ignore her and continue to try dresses on her.. until she went off and chose another piece on her own. =) hee. So in the end, we got 2..

we were a bit tired and went to Macdonalds to collect those instant win stubs we had. 2 apple pies and 1 small fries.. and we shared a drink. Then we walked to a vcd shop to see if there's Aladdin DVD or VCD... but they dun carry it... However, yixin managed to find one princess vcd with jasmine and aladdin - those kind of tv version... so we got that for her.. (if not, she wouldnt want to leave the shop!)

Finally, we went upstairs to the open playground... Yixin kept saying she wanted to go and play with the water.. I removed her shoes and brought her near the area.. but i told her she could only play the water that wont make her very wet...So she stood there and waited for the water.. never did we know that when the water started squirting out, a lot of malay children ran over and played with the water! Yixin got splashed a bit and she said " 姑姑 他们喷我!Stop!". Haha~! I thought she wanted to play with the water..

Anyway, I carried her back to wear the shoes.. and she went ahead and played with the slides and merry-go-round. she chose not to play on those slides that were made wet by those kids with wet clothes... so she kept switching between the green slide, and the merry-go-round. heh. She didnt want to go home after that.. I had to tell her it's time to go and we'll watch the princess vcd with her... and treat her popcorn.. then she gave in..

So we reached home, ate popcorn, watched the vcd once, had dinner and then watch the vcd again.. Thats when the tired Yixin fell asleep in my arms around 9.30pm. =) (but she got up at 2am and went back to sleep at 5am.. according to my mum) haha~!

23 October 2009

So fast~! It's been 5 days since I return from Japan... I really enjoy the weather there, although there're loads of walking to be done. Dear's supposed to be having a free day in seoul, and will be coming back next Monday. There are still a lot of things that we have to settle asap - that is to find our ROM venue.. It's really tough to find one that we both like... Thanks to my colleagues, they are constantly providing useful ideas.. =)

Work has been getting a bit bored... nothing interesting. To make it worse, I had my cultures contaminated - just after I came back from the trip. Haha.. I guess either I "lost" my skills during the 1 week break, or I had brought back bacteria from Japan.. Anyway, wont harp on it either, coz there's a solution and it's over. I had been extra careful since then. You know, a proud Leo doesnt like to suffer setbacks, even if it's the smallest mistake. Haha~!

Been uploading my Japan pictures in FB... and then I realised that MOST of the pics are with dear... I really really want to see them.. but he still need time to edit.. Sigh.. Probably I'll give him 2 weeks from the time he returns to SG.

Baby niece is so so responsive now. Always laugh and smile when we try to talk to her, or creating some sounds/noises. The surprising thing is, the person who makes the baby most responsive is her sister! I guess that's baby talk eh. So cute! Baby niece is afraid of tickle. Slight tickling at her back or on her tummy will make her smile! And she loves tummy rub~! She always pay special attention when ppl (either bro/mum/dad) handrubbing to create heat + the RuYi oil and placed it on her tummy! So fun!

19 October 2009

Japan day 4 to day 9

Back to work. Had lots of photos but I think I really need some time to load for FB. Used 2 cameras during the trip.. hence my set of photos were actually incomplete. Dear is now on the plane to korea on biz trip again... so I'll only be seeing him next mon.... and i think to get the pics from him, that'll be weeks.

Anyway, let me go back and talk about Japan trip..

Day 4: Dear went to work from morning til late evening. I wanted to go to explore Nagoya on my own.. but then the places that I wished to go, were not opened due to public holiday. Sianz. So the only thing I could do was to do shopping in Takashimaya, then got back to the room after lunch to enjoy a long nap and rot til dear was back from office... and then dinner with his bosses in the hotel's restaurant.

Day 5: Kyoto. Joined the Johnnie Hillwalker walking tour (covering 3km in 5 hours: walk and stop). Johnnie is a very old man and he was our english speaking guide.. Probably because he is old, I found that the explaination of some of the things repetitive, and boring. heh. But anyway, really appreciate the tiring tour, coz he took us to higashi honganji temple, some shindos and temples (and graveyard), some of the backstreets of kyoto (and geisha area) and into those traditional shops making paper fans, pottery etc. At night, we went walking around the shopping area in kyoto station and then back to the hotel to rest our tired feet.

Day 6: Went to Kyoto Imperial palace in the morning and realised that we couldnt get in unless we joined the guided tour, which was at 2pm. We signed up for the tour and then instead of wasting time waiting, we went to Kinkakuji temple for sight seeing and then back to the palace. After the guided tour, we took shinkansen to osaka, checked in and then at night, we went to HEP five, thinking of taking the red ferris wheel... to our disppointment, the ferris wheel was under renovation.. sigh... so looking at the time, we decided to rush to umeda sky building, took the lift to 173m above ground to enjoy cold wind and night view of Osaka. That's when KK went down on his knees once again, presenting me with a real rock, on his birthday. =)

Day 7: Universal Studio - with the Elmo theme, hello kitty and snoopy etc. No mascots going around.. sianz. so the only thing we did was to take pictures of the theme park. The rides were ok, except for the dream ride roller coaster that I didnt want to take. We took one jurassic park ride that made me felt like I was going to die. Haha. I guess I'm really old, cant take this kind of excitement rides anymore. Did enjoy those 4D shows... except that everything was in japanese with no subtitles and everyone was speaking japanese as well. Not tourist friendly. At night, we went to Hard rock cafe and had our first western dinner. Nice~! As Halloween was around the corner, everywhere got this spooky halloween decorations (including the theme park).. MJ's thriller MTV was up too!

Day 8: As usual, we started our day by visiting Osaka castle.. and it rained. We hanged around for a while before going to Osaka station to look for Fancl shop... and then walked around to get those souveniors and food for my family and friends.... we got our hands full and hence got back to the hotel, put our things down and rested a bit before going Dotombori - a place that looked like a shopping cum food district (but ex!) and we settled our dinner with the snowcrab steamboat thingy. NICE~!!

Day 9: Home sweet home. =)

12 October 2009

From level 33 of Marriott, Nagoya.

Hi guys, here I am~! I will be accessing the internet for these 2 days coz KK now is officially on biz trip... using internet is c.l.a.i.m.a.b.l.e.

My samsung phone is not 3G phone.. hence cant support the network here. So for those who wants to contact me, can do so through FB, or KK. hee. Anyway, while having some free time before KK meets his boss for dinner (while I'll settle my own dinner) let me write something down:

Day 1 in Nagoya: Reached Nagoya Airport at around 8.36am. Took a train to our hotel - Marriott Nagoya Associa. Trains and subways are very expensive.. and most of the $$ we spent were all on transport. However, thanks to the easy location of our hotel and extensive trains and subways here, we managed to find our ways to places that we marked on. =)

Once we checked into our rooms, we hit the bed straight away... Overnight flights were really energy draining~! Slept till around 3pm before we got up and went to Sakae - Oasis 21 to enjoy some cold cold air and nice sceneries~! We noticed that pple in Nagoya were all nicely dressed up~! No open toes, flip flops, jeans + t-shirt.. ladies wore mainly boots! So nice~!!! we felt so underdressed here. :( Plus, all pple - regardless of young or old, they all makeup!! The worst thing - they dun understand English at all!! It's a bit tough to ask for something... and to order something.. so the best language is body language. hehe.

Day 2: Nagoya castle and Osu Kannon Temple.
We went nagoya castle in the morning and hanged around there til the afternoon. It's magnificent! I dun really know how to describe.. but I'll load the pictures when I have the time to. =) We were also lucky that we managed to catch the festive celebrations at Osu Kannon Temple yesterday evening. Food food and more food! Yay!

Day 3: Atsuta Shrine
We went to the shrine this morning... and we were lucky once again.. there's festive celebrations! I think it's public holidays for the children here. Most of the parents who brought their kids to the shrine dressed up their kids in kimonos. So sweet and kawaii~~!!

Ok! Time for me to go... will be going to Takashimaya later, which is just located below my hotel. =)

08 October 2009

I hope

I'm flying to Nagoya tmr. 1am.

Then I'll be in kyoto on Wed morning and Osaka on Thurs night til back to S'pore on Sun evening.

I hope typhoon melor will be over the moment I get there.

I hope there's no rain or small rain instead of downpours.

I hope there's no delay or cancellations of any flights.

I hope that the places that I want to visit will not be closed due to bad weather.

04 October 2009

Venues sourcing

Went to do some venues checking for my ROM today. We chose the wrong day - as 2 out of 4 places we went were not open on Sunday... =(

Let me go through one by one:

My first stop was Raffles hotel... under the bright sunny HOT sun... having solemnisation is not advisable.. for me. Haha. Yes, it's an outdoor venue - The Lawn. It's a nice place... with some kind of sheltered place for the ROM session and the rest of my guests have to stand/sit around the lawn area... which is a no-no! So hot! BIG minus point is that carpark fees for 30 plus mins cost us 6 BUCKS and the lift waiting time was especially SLOW.

Next we went to 1827 Thai Restaurant, somewhere near parliament house... its CLOSED. Sigh. We hanged around too see the surroundings and then someone came out from the restaurant... Lucky! We went to ask him for some pics for past ROMs and he showed it to us.. and even let us in to the restaurant to have a quick look at their settings. =) As he's not the person-in-charge, we left our contact details and he will ask his colleagues to contact us. =) Nice settings!

Then we went to Flutes at the fort, somewhere near registry of marriage... it's CLOSED too. Sigh. Nice house from the outside.. but the journey to walk there from the carpark was hectic. Steep steps and down slope... with foreign workers having picnic.. no no. It's off the list.

Last but not least, we went to The Jewel box. We decided to get into the restaurant to "enjoy" air-con, have some cold drinks as a self-reward for our tiring/sweating adventure today... We had sticky fries with mozzarella cheese dip, jewel something - ice cream and Mango manga. Nice~! Although it's not air con, the fresh air and constant cooling wind kept blewing.. So comfortable that we could literally fall asleep! haha. We asked for the contact to event person in charge.... and depending on the $$$, we will keep this shortlisted. =)

That's all for today... and will continue to source for venues after I'm back from the japan trip! Oyasumi nasai~!

01 October 2009

Toilet bowls talk in the morning

Me : I was thinking about it when I was wide awake after a cough at 3.40am and couldnt get back to sleep til 5am.

K: What is it about?

Me: I dun think our future house needs 抽风机 in the toilet..

K: Well, even if I want it, I'm not sure whether HDB allows it.

Me: Then I hope they dun allow.

K: why?

Me: How long are you going to stay in the toilet after your business? You just have to air it.

K: reasons not enough

Me: Then it's a waste to electricity, it's not nice to see, it has "holes" and rain will splatter in

K: Your reasons are not supported.

Me: hmph! Then I want a squat toilet bowl rather a sitting one

K: Ok, let's have our own toilet then. At least I compromised

Me: No! I'm just joking. I can do my business anywhere.. you should use a squat one.

K: Why?

Me: Coz you squat on sitting ones, while there are squats one available

:p

27 September 2009

Sweet lil' Babies.

Today I went to visit sis's baby. He's small sized, cute little baby. As I introduced before, he's baby Nathan. =)



Next is my two month's old baby niece Yiting. I like this photo - crossed eyes. hehee~~ (Sorry that the photo is blurred)

Road to recovery

Yesterday I went to Ma Kuang - the TCM for the treatment of my persistent cough... The doctor talked to me in a gentle tone, described to me the symptoms of my cough and asked if it was like this or that (usually its the other way round for western docs - you tell him the illness, he gives you the pills). Then she concluded that my cough wasnt really a cough, its due to some backflow of mucus into nasal cavity causing inflammation, and then irritation.. That's why I will cough more severely when I lie down (to sleep). She said that she had to cure the nose rather than the cough, coz once the nose is ok, I will stop coughing. She gave me a prescription for 7 days and it cost $65.90! Yes, it definitely more expensive than what I usually gets.. but since I want to get better and its claimable, I wont complain. heh.

So after I got home from dinner, I immediately took the medicine... yeah, it's real hard to swallow. Imagine those bitter powder (30grams) dissolve in 50mL of warm water and drink it.. yucks! The attendant there gave me a pack of sourplum pills.. to get rid of the aftertaste... but it doesnt really work that well seriously.

AND, after the dose, although i'm still having the cough, the frequency during the night got lesser.. and hence, my parents (and I) had a better night rest (before that, dad scolded me in the morning for coughing too loud during the night- after enduring for 3 weeks! - thats why i turned to TCM). haha.

2nd dose this morning.. and indeed, my cough is getting lesser~! Woohoo~! I think the medicine is really working.. finally! I look forward to having a complete recovery soon!

22 September 2009

What an eventful holiday~!

What a terrible cough I'm having. It's always haunting me at night.. I nearly finished the medicine that I had.. I guess those arent working for me. I may need to switch to chinese Sinseh. Eu Yan Seng or Ma kwang? hm... the latter is nearer to me.

Yesterday was an eventful day. Started off with Na, Vi, SC and I went to Himawari Jap restaurant for a-lar-carte buffet. It's reeeaaal nice, with quite a number of varieties. I will definitely return. =) however, I had the runs in the late evening... not sure if it's due to the food? heh. But it's too delicious to get suspicious about it. haha.

Then Yingz called me up and wanted to catch a movie - Time Traveler's wife, with Lewis, just before he go Cambodia for 2 weeks for voluntery work. haha~! Take care buddy! Oh, the show is so so only.. not that touching as I thought it would be.

I rushed home after that, to eat dinner with mum... and sis was already in the labour ward monitoring... so I was thinking of visiting her when she gave birth.. but I waited and waited.... and the baby only popped out at 8.46pm. hehe. Sis then called and said to visit her after she discharge, coz of the 2 visitors per time restriction is very inconvenience. So~! the baby weighs 2.95kg, 47cm long with 32cm head cir. =) His name is Nathan~! Chinese name had to go for some calculations. =)

Hm.. yesterday my hp also went crazy.. all of the sudden, it felt really hot - like its gonna explode any moment.. then the battery got discharged.. I was thinking.. I just charged yesterday~! Anyway, seeing that my phone reflected no reception, I off and on it... and then msgs from 7pm onwards came rushing in. Missed a lot of msgs! Right now, the phone seems to be ok.. Let's hope it doesnt menopause again. haha

What an eventful holiday~!

19 September 2009

Yixin and I went shopping~!

Since I was free this afternoon, I decided to bring Yixin out to shop for her early bday gift. Yes, just me and her. hee. I won't be in Singapore on her bday, coz that week I'll be in Japan with dear. The plan is to go Nagoya (kk's biz trip while I explore individually during the day), Kyoto and Osaka. =) Anyway, once we reached IMM, she wanted to sit with big bird..



We walked around IMM for a while, got her present and then she saw Barney calling out to her with big arms.. and hence she decided to take a picture with him...



Just before we go, she saw this cute little boy (bob the builder) just next to Barney.. and again, she wanted to pose with him.



She's happy to have her new bday present - disney princess bag and a light up Ariel pen, which she was holding. =) I'm happy too.

One step closer

OK,

Bintan's trip (company retreat) is over. 2 days 1 night over the weekend. Overall it's fun like our telematches and those card games we had, the roulette thingy, phototaking, and hanging around cute little Eunice. =) It will be perfect if the restaurants are installed with air condition... I warn u, its hot like a sauna! You are literally eating (the buffet) and sweating at the same time!

Next, mum's birthday was on Sunday, celebrated with the kids and completed with a full body scrub plus massage on the following day. She totally enjoyed the process and I'm happy to see her happy. =) Probably I shall bring her to pamper herself once in a while.

Guess most of my loyal blog readers know that I am in search of a nest for KK and I.. so after all those hassle of running here and there, meeting up with agents, getting those exorbitant COV etc, we are back to the square one.. thats what KK said - its our affinity with the house... Still remember i mentioned that KK went to thoroughly survey a house on 16 level?.. ya, we will be getting that house. We had signed the option to purchase yesterday, and next thursday we will be meeting up again to "exercise" it.. which means to submit documents to HDB for our first appt... then there's this 2nd appt... so here and there - we will probably be getting the house keys in late feb next year...and from there, we still need to renovate and things like that. Plus, I have to produce marriage cert within 6 months upon getting the keys. A lot of things to be done... 想了就怕。

Anyway, it's a nice start.

08 September 2009

Pre-bday gift.


For the first time, Mum had a relaxed day at Nailxpert... Mum didnt go for manicure and pedicure session before.. so I brought her there to enjoy, her first pre bday treatment. As you can see, mum's curious with the bubbling waterbath =)

*yes, the lady next to mum is Vieth. Such a coincidence~!

While mum was doing her treatment on her legs and paraffin on her hands, I was doing spa manicure and pedicure as well.. so no photographs to show how happy mum was~! She liked the massages.



Ok, there she was, blow drying her fingernails and toenails... I was seated at the other corner to dry my nails.. that explained the distance between us..



Tadah~! Done. Pink with glitters on her hands...



Purple with glitters on her feet! hohoho! Mum tried 2 colors. 美美!

We then went to search around for slippers, coz she didnt want to "spoil" the paint... bought that at carrefour for 7.90 only~! cheap~!

Then we rested by going to the foodcourt, sharing a cuppa coffee before dinner, and enjoying leftovers of cookies from subway lunch.

I guess mum really enjoyed her "first in her life" manicure/pedicure treatment~! Will bring her there once in a while then.. I like to see mum being happy. =)



In the end, dear came to meet us for dinner and some grocery shopping, after we travelled down to chinatown to get gold chain for sis's next baby. =) cute car~!

Lethargic

I'm real tired today. Yesterday, or rather today morning around 2.58am, we all woke up with the sudden shouting of bro to ask my niece to stop crying. I dun know what really happened. Only bits and pieces of information fed to me this morning. All I know was shouting, hiting, crying going on outside my room. Dad was frustrated and he went downstairs (which is void deck) to sleep. Mum was up to help with the crying nieces and my SIL. The crazy brother - was at his computer, playing game. I tossed and turned, hoping to sleep.. but my sore throat acted up and my nose became blocked making me difficult to breath. Bo bianz, I got up and took a drowsy medicine - that helped me to go back to sleep around 3.45am..

Today I woke up feeling better - but head still heavy.. no mood, no energy - tough to focus. So here I am, sitting in front of the pc, populating result, bloggin, and sipping ice coffee. it makes me wonder - should I have kids of my own next time?

Will blog about my mum's prelude bday treat next.. unless something else pops up and I have to blog about it. haha

05 September 2009

Photos



See this picture. Dun you think it looked like an egg yolk? Well, actually, he (baby inside) is formed from an egg. Oh, not to forget, sperm. Fingers there probably represent the beak of a chick. I drew eyes for him. heh. Nice right?

Anyway, the next picture showed my niece poo-pooing. Yeah, in the doorway between her room and ours, cute eh? Hee... gone were the days where we can use this small little bucket to do our business. heh. Oh, did I mention that the bucket that we used are now passed down for my niece? Not this red one, it's the other bigger one - orange color. (Probably post it up the next round). Cool eh? its 20 over years!



Ok.. the last pic. My little niece who likes to pose as princess or call herself princess from the disney cartoons was actually a witch in disguise probably. heh. I found the pack of lizards that she insisted her dad to buy for her..... and they seems to be planning for their next move. i have to be careful!



I wonder what my niece used to make those lizards listen to her... I think its the poo-poo. ;p

...

Things get especially eerie when it comes to the 7th month. Yesterday I went Marina square to catch Final destination 4.. so as usual, before the show, I will visit the ladies to empty my bladder.. So i chose the toilet at the cinema area.. before I even pushed open the door, I already anticipated that something will scare me.. so i slowly opened (to reduce the impact of being "scared") and indeed, there were posters of bloody woman (from the movie blood ties) all over the toilet mirrors! To make things worse, there's not even a single human being in the toilet. I hesitated for 2 seconds but decided to go ahead and wee (thinking of the hassle of going to the other toilets).... Anyway, while i was releasing I was thinking of not to wash my hand! But too bad I had to coz I touched a bit of you-know-what while wiping.. so i walked to the mirror, eyes kept at the flowing water while having a feeling that the poster woman were all staring at me.. I quickly turned back to exit and felt an immediate cold chill down my spine~! I literally ran out of the toilet and KK was there asking - what happened?

I'm really a scaredy cat when it comes to spritual thingy... but not gore and violence. Anyway, the movie isnt that great afterall. 1 popcorn rating.

31 August 2009

I spent my weekends with dear.

Sat: Went for my shaker fries (long craving for that!) and then watched movie "The Cove". Guys, this award winning movie is really worth watching. It's not the movie is captured with the "wow" factor, its the documentary movie that shows how greedy and inhuman pple can get. capturing dolphins, selecting dophins, selling dolphins and killing dolphins... I cant tolerate those acts. Damn! 想了就愤怒!

Sun: Went to Sherry's first month celebration, then went JP to get a haversack. We wanted to have ba ku teh for dinner so we drove to the market... but then all stalls closed! Since we are not so hungry, we went home, heated up the braised meat that mum cooked few days ago (braised meat taste nicer when its cooked over a few days!).. I started cooking... instant noodles (dried) and campbell chunky potato soup. heh. easy as 123. unhealthy meal, but we had fun, since there's no one at home. after that, we watched channel5 movie, and he fell asleep at some part of the show. haha. Lame show, but we finished watching and dear went home. I wanted to continue to watch blood diamond.. but was too tired. since i can watch it anytime, I went to ZzzZz..

BUT i'm still tired today!

27 August 2009

Naruto Shipuuden.. GREATO~!

I want to watch movie when dear comes back. Haha. I want my nacho cheese.. hee. The final destination has just released and then The Cove - a documentary is also released today. Apparently, its a 92 mins documentary show to see the dark side of some Japanese, who hunts for dolphin meat and usually brand it as whale meat. Cruel. Why couldnt they just eat normal fish? http://www.takepart.com/thecove/

Anyway, my niece has been driving us "crazy". I guess it's all because of the little niece, and she's trying to get attention. Yixin can start throwing tantrums whenever and wherever she wants with no reasons at all.. she'll start to throw her stuff, kicks anywhere and then started crying, howling, coughing and near-puking. We all tried to talk to her nicely..coax her... but giving her more attention only made her cry even longer, even louder.. so we just have to leave her standing there to cry.. although my heart aches, I have no idea on how to what to do as well..

So i guess our neighbours who wont know what's going on, will think that we are abusing our children here.

Anyway, it's Thursday~! Work's been relatively routine and there's nothing much to update.. Dear's out of town and so everyday when I get home, it's dedicated to Naruto.. Ha. Yeah, I've started watching Naruto shipuuden due to the influence of Nat. haha. Exciting!!! I love Gaara~! But~! is he really dead??? Guys who watched Naruto DUN TELL ME ah.. haha.. I'm only just starting to watch. heh.

26 August 2009

Emo-ing?

Dear will be coming back this Friday night... real late..

So I will be seeing him on Saturday.. I'm glad he is coming back..

I need a shoulder to lean when I'm tired...

21 August 2009

Random Pics


Yesterday's dinner : I took this pic when Yixin was snuggling beside me.. and eating her fav cookie from subway!



My IT guy gave me this.. apparently its "ruby, sapphire and stuffs" on top of the ribbon. hehe. thanks~!

Lunar 7th month

Lunar 7th month today. That means its the hungry ghost festival. The smell of incense and burnt incense paper filled the air. It's raining now... with thunder every now and then..

Dear will be coming back on Sat. I'll be picking him up and then he will be dropping me at ECP coz we're (ex-coll) having a bbq there. Hope that it doesnt rain on that day. hee.

Found a site that I can update my twitter status via mobile. Directly to twitter isnt supported.. so a third party website is required. I can also receive updates of who i'm following via sms (that's what the website stated - and i havent tried it). Everything is free... for as long as I didnt exceed my normal smses provided by my service provider. Cool.

旧爱还是最美

Gone is the thought of using Samsung ultratouch. It's weight slowly turns me off since i got it in April 09. No doubt the phone is still in a good condition, and applications are fine and easy to use...

Anyway, I was thinking of a way to get rid of the phone (but I'm bound by contract) and unexpectedly, I receive a call from sis today and she told me that she wanted to change her phone... I should be angry with sis changing phone all the time.. but this time, the first thing that came to my mind, is - she can use mine if she wants... Of course, the "forever-handphone-changing" sis agreed - coz she also want to have a try in using touch screen phone... ultratouch is a combi. Full touch screen + keypad - for those who arent sure whether touch screen is his/her cup of tea.

The "kanchiong" sis said she can come and collect the phone next sunday... and the "kanchiong" me with the immense thought of getting rid of the handphone quickly transferred all datas to my pc and "tadaaaa~~" I'm back using the old phone I had. Samsung U600. 爱还是最美。Light weight, slim touch and easy to use was what it attracted me initially.. Deep down inside, I still feel the love for it. hehee~ I think I wont be changing phone in near future... unless this one fails me. heh

Dear should be reaching Birmingham now.. after a day's flight. Missing him already. I stayed at home to "nua" the whole day lo....

I also started a 12-episode anime this afternoon. hee~

12 August 2009

You will be missed

It's really sad to see someone pass away in an accident. My ex colleague -just a 2 days ago - met a mishap in Tioman with her partner (and partner's niece and nephew). Online news didnt state much details.. but I just read the 晚报 and it states that the niece complained about pain in heels around the evening and since it was getting dark, they decided to camp there for the night. Around 3am, it started to rain and I guess waterlevel raised, rushing to the bank.. Her partner was grasping the 2 ladies on each hand, while the nephew got hold of a rock... by that time, it was around 5am.. Current was too strong and the 2 ladies were swept away... The guys survived and trekked about 4 hours out of the forest to the nearest station to report the accident... by 2.30pm, their bodies were found.

Dear Annie, may you rest in peace.. you will be missed.

11 August 2009

Company trip.

HR of my company told me that I will be sharing a room with a PRC colleague during the company trip in bintan. Hm.. I dun like the idea...so I decided to ask Gim, to see if she's available to keep me accompany. hee. Well, I called her just now, and she said that she's afraid of not having enough money, plus she's not having enough cash. Sigh. Really hope that she can go.. coz she's really a good buddy. She got to give me an answer by Friday... If she really cant make it, I shall... go to the other rooms and start playing games throughout the night~!

09 August 2009

Happy National day

Went to visit Ting and baby sherry yesterday. Managed to take some photos of baby with dear's camera... but now dear is on plane to Penang. Gotta wait for him to come back on Wednesday to load the pictures and pass them to me. hee~~ Baby sherry is soooo cute~! hee~

Before visiting tine, we went for house viewing again yesterday... and both of us like the house.. So we had given them the offer, and hope that they can agree on the price... =) Wish us luck~!

G.I Joe is a really nice show. I recommend that~!

Will be meeting Jul and gang tonight.. coz the "ingrates" forgot my bday.... and needed someone else to remind them (of course not me). So they will be treating me dinner at aston. haha~~ Suntec leh!! Sigh.. of all places.. i wonder why they choose there.. it will be damn crowded when it's time to go home lo..

07 August 2009

加油!

Here's a pic that dear manage to take with the focus on the flower, and background blurred with his prosumer. heh. Not bad for fresh beginners eh. he finally got the settings right. Click on the picture for the not shrink-to-fit picture. heh.


All about Tamagotchi

Dear said that I am obsessed with Tamagotchi now. Am I? I'm just excited over a new toy mah. haha.. probably the obsession will die off soon? hee.. (Haha I even go to the extent of joining Tamagotchi forum coz the tamagotchi is in japanese and I needed some help)

Just some story about my Tamagotchi:

I got my tamagotchi on my birthday.. and the first pet i got was a female.. so it grew from Nokotchi (baby) to Sakuramotchi (toddler) to Ichigotchi (bad teen) and Lavuzukintchi (Average adult)

Apparently, different generations (odd and even) will produce different types of Tamagotchi pets.... so that you wont get the same one over and over again and its boring. hehe.. Then from the stage of Toddler to Teen, you have the possibilities to get a good teen or a bad teen.. and from teen to adult, you will have the possibilities of getting a good, average or bad adult... So taking care of the pet - ensuring the happiness and the fullness (health) of your pet will give u different types of tamagotchi.. Of coz, the bad teen/adult will look uglier compared to the good and average ones. hee.

Also, you can raise the pet from adult to senior citizens and then till death... I didnt managed to raise it to tat stage.. and I married off my Tama accidentally (with inbuilt matchmaking session)... boohoo~! So my Tama gave birth to a baby boy and left... Sigh...

Now the baby boy Kinotchi (baby) has grown to Ahirukutchi (toddler).. of course, this time round, I aim to have a good teen and good adult.. so that I can raise til they are senior and then death. No more marriage. The forum also mentioned that senior also can give birth to baby.. but next time lah. haha

Here's the link (if you are interested) to the growth chart of tamagotchi color. hee.

02 August 2009

Amateur

These 2 days dear and I had been going around with our new camera to take random shots. The picture on my banner was taken on my bday, the view from Equinox. It's really beautiful. Too bad that i have to shrink to fit the picture up there.. but generally, its nice. =)

I've been busy playing with my tamagotchi color.. hehe. feels like a kid once again.

I'm lazy to post up pics taken on my bday, since dear already posted on FB... but only allow me to view. hee. He said that he is just an amateur and so dun want to 献丑... wait til he master that skill of phototaking... then probably we can upgrade to SLR. haha

31 July 2009

7 mins more to the end of my bday.

Formally, I will like to say thanks to:

ZX and YT for the dinner treat at Pizza hut
Vieth and SC for the lunch treat at fish maket SAKURAYA
my company for the gift vouchers
Ju for the mango cake and specialized video clip from little eunice *so touched*
Nana for the beautiful bracelet and clutch bag
Mum for the angbao
Dear for the tamagotchi, dinner and cake

Of course, not to forget friends who have sent me smses and wall messages on facebook.. and emails too.

All I can say its a "normal" birthday for me. Nothing fantastic - but I sure do enjoy myself with great friends and great company.

29 July 2009

Dear got his Lumix LX-3. He's as happy as a kid right now. ha.

28 July 2009

No wiki-day for femme, no LX-3 day for homme.

No more wiki-day for me on Tuesdays! Boo Hoo! Koby has dedicated my Tuesdays to run FACS and MACS together with ZX. This whole expt usually takes up the whole day. BUT its ok.. better than having nothing to do and sitting in front of the desk.. acting busy. haha.

Anyway, was busy that I was late for my lunch appt with Vieth and SC this afternoon. Sorry~! And, ZX kindly offered to continue for a bit so that I can go off to meet them. Thank you!

Vieth and SC treated me to a Japanese Sushi and Sashimi meal at Village center (fish market SAKURAYA), just along pasir panjang. Fresh salmon and tuna fillets chosen by us and then sliced and served. Yum~!! Potato salad was nice.. as well as the handrolls~! Doubly Yum~! Thank you for the bday lunch treat! Too bad Nana got something on and couldnt join us.. =(

Was supposed to have a viewing for flat after work today.. but then its sorta sold already.. so the viewing was cancelled. Dear then decided to go ahead and buy the Panasonic Lumix LX-3, using the capitaland vouchers we had.. before heading to Funan IT mall, we went to NUH staff canteen to have dinner.. (i was looong craving for the food and teh-peng over there)

To our disappointment, all the shops that we visited told us that the model is sold out.. new batches will only be coming in next month.. i think dear felt like being pushed down from a cliff, shouting... Nooooooooooooo-o-o-o-o-o (echoes on til a loud BANG!). Total disappointment. He intended to buy and use it on my bday.. Too bad. We just gotta wait.

To pull dear back up from the bottom of the cliff, we drove all the way to sunset way to enjoy a scoop of ice-cream.. then he was distracted by the talkings about getting our future house (4 or 5 room flat), marriage and renovation ideas. Good. Ice-cream's done and we headed back.

Dun worry dear. You will definitely get the camera.. at least before your next business trip. heh.

27 July 2009

Baby

Baby's back home on Sunday. She will be named as Yiting. =) cute little girl with chubby cheeks. hehe. Just like Yixin when she's just a baby.

House getting crampier.. but we managed to make do with just 2 bedrooms. Baby gotta shift over to our bedroom when everyone's up, and out to work... coz we dun want yixin to "disturb" her little sister. From what I observed yesterday night, Yixin has become naughtier. I guess she's somehow jealous of the little sis, who suddenly gets all the attention. Even others like to say "Dun talk so loud / Dont cry coz you will wake mei mei up" I think she's feeling a bit of imbalance. haha. But of course, me as an aunt to her, gotta make sure she dun feel left out... by spending more time with her... provided she dun make me angry by "destroying" my stuff. After all, I cant get anymore angrier... coz she's just getting attention, and she's just a kid.

22 July 2009

Samsung ultratouch

Yixin dropped my phone yesterday. The battery even came off. I didnt scold her... coz afterall, it's a public place and probably, with a tinge bit of feeling - I dun like my phone that much. haha. BUT I have to keep this phone alive due to the take 3 plan from M1 - to return it by the end of 2 years in working condition and then get another one.

Anyway, the phone went black out when i was charging my phone. Couldnt on it. Panic for a while, remove the batt and place it in again... then I was able to switch on the phone. Scary. If this get more frequent, I guess i may have to send it for servicing.

Happy Birthday Nini~!!!

I thought today's weather is cool and I'll have a good start.. but who knows I got a bad start when I was kena stepped while coming up from the mrt escalator and I couldnt find my slipper. Damn. Luckily an auntie who's coming up next saw my "abandoned slipper" and kicked it to me... Somehow the escalator was jammed up because of this. Stupid! Why are the ppl in a rush? Cant they enjoy the cool weather and instead of rushing?

Anyway, just because I'm not as rush today, I gave 2 trains a missed.. Coz i dun wanna be squeezed... but realising time was running short, I went up the 3rd train and it was sooooooooo packed that literally it's body to body contact. Lucky and sadly, it's another auntie infront of me and a plump girl on my right.. Where's all the handsome young man?? haha I can imagine squeezing with them. wohoho.

Today the cleaner auntie reminded me there's solar eclipse in the morning. But now its raining so heavily that I dun think we can see it.

Last but not least, Happy birthday to Nini-chan~! Although you bday celebration was over, but today is the actual day. Hope you can be happy every day and every minute. Miss your smile. Muackz!

21 July 2009

ARGH~!

So what if I am being stingy?
So what if keep asking pple to return money to me?
So what if I'm staying with my parents and giving monthly allowance and not RENT?
So what you've been thinking that I've been shirking responsibilities?
So what, So what SO WHAT?

I am not you. You cant control what I think and what I say. Sad to say I AM being misunderstood here. I'm not a saint like you. I cant behave as GENEROUSLY and PERFECT like you think you are

20 July 2009

一分钱一分货

Confirmed. The perfume that I bought from Lucky plaza is not of a good quality.

I got Hugo Boss Femme gift set from my colleagues as a birthday gift last year.. The large bottle actually last me til this year, just before my bday again. heh. So I went to buy the same one from lucky plaza this time - Since it was way much cheaper compared to those comestic counters, and DFS. The usual 2 sprays from my first bottle could last me the whole day (although I do have friends saying that they didnt smell any - but its ok, I can smell it. haha). But 2 sprays from the new bottle couldnt even last me half a day. It's really 一分钱一分货。I think next time I will be getting my perfumes from DFS - since dear is always flying around. =)

Time for home soon. Very tired today. Barely keep myself alert.

19 July 2009

Dangerous Event

I missed an exit on the way to my sis house. Then i went straight up to upper serangoon road.. somehow i managed to reach potong pasir avenue 1... I went to a carpark and parked.. Then I tried to look through the street directory. No use. I am a map idiot. I'm so silly. Lucky my SIL and Yixin were with me... coz i dun like the feeling of being lost in somewhere alone. haha. So I called my BIL. He knew where am I, just that he didnt know how to explain to me. So he came all the way down and ask me to tail his car... then, I managed to reached there, safely. Was so afraid that suddenly my SIL have contractions then i die liao. haha dunno how to react lo. Coz as I was following the car, I did brake too late for many times... [Also, i'm not really used to my bro's car. first time driving. no good. GTI better. haha]

Journey home was smooth. afterall, it's natural instinct to find the way home.. Now Yixin is sleeping, despite the blasting/deafening music from the indian's wedding at the void deck.

Dear's on the way to Beijing

Changed layout again. Just realised there's a lot of gadgets and stuff to play around in blogger template. Changing layout is so much easier compared to last time.

Dear's on the plane right now to beijing for business trip. Yet yesterday he took the time to send me to WX's wedding dinner and fetch me back home. Thanks dear.

Had an amazing experience for WX's wedding. Not sure why, after having the last dessert dish, I drank some coke and my voice is totally gone. Coarse as a man. Haha. Dear was laughing at the fact that I lost my voice and keep talking and making noises.. Everyone at the table was shocked as well - coz I'm fine and all of a sudden, I couldnt speak properly. haha. MT said there must be some kind of chemical reaction with the dessert and the coke.. haha~~ not sure about that, but I do believe~! Coz I felt something in my throat when I swallow. After a night's rest, i'm ok now. hah. Scary lehz.

Later i'm taking bro's car to sis house. It's Nini's bday celebration today. =)

18 July 2009

Wedding dinner tonight.

The expensive hairclip that I bought from a shop in jurong point had it's crystal loose in just 2 weeks, after 2 times of usage. It took me another week or so to went back to the shop to had the crystal fixed. Afraid that the crystals will dropped or become loose again, I didnt use it immediately when I got it fixed.. so I used again last week, and this time the crystals dropped. instead of becoming loose like the first time. Sianz. The hairclip (a small one) cost $16.80.. I'm tired of going to the shop to fixed it again.

Anyway, house hunting is not exactly smooth. The house that we took a liking, thw owner insisted a 20k COV. it's out of our cash budget. So we have to say no, and continue to look for another one. It's a bit sad, for me, coz of the effort that dear put in to scouting the house and the surroundings may just gone to waste. Today there's 2 other viewings at Toh Guan. Wish us luck again. =)

Went to nail expert to do a manicure and pedicure yesterday. Just before we got up into the shop, we saw the first timer promotion package of a spa mani and pedi for 2 sessions for $94.80. It was a good deal and hence i signed up for it... coz I plan to give my mum a "pampering" bday treat this year. So spa for mani and pedi - decided. This leave the sourcing for full body massage and scrub for her. heh.

It's my bday month~~! I'm really going to be broke real soon. Like I mentioned, 4 weddings this month. There's one tonight. Tmr will be going to my niece bday party.... plus, bday month there's extra rebates at Fancl.. so i'm going down to purchase items - which will be another cost! haha. Oh, there's also a GV member 1 for 1 deal for bday members. Shall visit the theatres when dear is back from business trip. - yes he's flying again - this round to beijing =)

14 July 2009

House Hunting in progress

Dear and I saw a unit that we mutually like it.. So we (or he) decided to "spy" the surrounding neighbourhood and check on the amenities, the buses that passes the neighbourhood etc... to the extent of, noting down the number of secs the lift took to bring him from ground level to the highest floor. haha.

Yeah, the flat that we are eyeing is at the highest level. We are very afraid of those "heat" that we will be experiencing.. so we went online to search for forums and found more pros then cons to stay at the highest level. So we decided - to give an offer to see if they can accept. =) So if everything really goes well and smooth for the both of us, I can foresee myself getting ROM by this year.

Our HLE approved, and it's amazing to see how much we can loan from HDB. Bro said if we managed to get it approved, that means we can actually get a new flat - why resale? Dear then tell me, by the time the new flats (that we like) are built and ready, he dun think we can get the HLE approved. Further more, resale flats are usually bigger (coz they are older) and spacious. =) Probably the only thing i'm afraid is that we have a slight risk of getting haunt by loansharks... *touchwood* and dear is optimistic saying this is not really possible. Anyway, we will try to survey the area as much as possible. heh.

11 July 2009

SY's wedding is today. 7-11. A nice date to remember. Took some photos, but the quality is not that good under dim lightings.. Photos are up in facebook.

We went for house hunting after that.. From the time we started until now, we had seen from very old houses to old houses to quite new ones. It's not that we had viewed a lot of houses... and this is only the 2nd weekend used for house hunting... but currently, we havent found one that's to our liking, that we can go "let's get this house!". Sigh. The factor is usually the COVs, where pple are still wanting 80k cash?? What the hell? Go rob a bank lah~! Now the economy so bad.. and for first timers like us, where got spare cash?? double sigh. Hunting house is really tiring... esp if we narrow our target of interest to only certain areas.. Guess we really have to look at a bigger spectra.. Dear's even more tired. He's the one who's contacting those agents, driving us around.. and getting different papers and select those possible to view ones. Thanks dear for working hard for our future house. I know I am lacking a lot in this area. I will buck up ok? Folks, wish us luck~!

07 July 2009

Just reached office not long ago. Went for a medical checkup. Got poke twice for 15mLs of my blood, did some standard measurements and they told me that reports will be sent to my company and house when it's ready.. Although I maintained my weight, I have put on 1.7% fat since last year. hee~~ I wonder where does the fat gone to.. should be my tummy. hehee

Hungry~~~ although light snacks were provided, I dun really have time to sit down and eat. I took a very small piece of sandwich, and a nurse called me in to take ECG.. so I had to gobble up that piece of sandwich. When I done and out, I wanted to take another piece of sandwich, the doc called me in. Sigh. Everything happen so fast there's no break in between for me.. When its done and I thought I can grab another sandwich, the nurse called me to go to another level for xray and then I will leave from there. hmph~~!

So.. what can I have for lunch?

05 July 2009

Yesterday we started off viewing flats.. We went to a ~5 yrs flat near bukit gombak MRT station and was very disappointed the the layout. I wonder why HDB designed this kind of awkward-cum-small rooms? Masterbed room is the only room that is square. Small kitchen, small living room and small toilets! Definitely a no no for us.

We then went to another ~11(?) yrs flat. We liked the layout. It's big and spacious, and every room is square. the con is, it's along corridor, so you will keep seeing pple walking pass your house. It's ok, we can shortlist that. hehee

Dear then dropped me at Grand corpthone for ZX's wedding. Ju said that we took too little pics at YT's wedding and so we took more. haha~~ Plus, some of the girls couldnt get the chance to see Koby's wife.. so I was assigned to be the paparazzi for the night. wahahaa. Pictures can be viewed in Facebook. note: She's really beautiful! can't keep my eyes off her. haha. dinner was great, pretty bride, cozy room and table setting.. there's a small hiccup... thats the champage popping - ZD couldnt pop the champage coz it's too tight.. I think they changed 1 bottle for him and still quite difficult.. until pple (including me) shouted "jia you!" and clap hands to encourage him. the whole process took entire 3 mins plus - that is, the march in song was played until it finishes and replayed.. hehee

After the dinner, Dear came to pick me up and we went to watch Ice age 3 at Tiong Bahru Plaza. Nice show~! hee. Funny and cute. I slept around 2plus ytd.

Got up at 10, and I'm off to view more house today. Goodluck to us!

01 July 2009

An experience

Yesterday's movie was great. Tranformers Rocks~! Plus the gold class seats, it's perfect.. Big screen and of course, comfortable seats. =) There's sure to be part 3 to this movie, coz megatron and starscream are not dead.

I'm glad to ask dear along for this movie. I can see that he enjoyed watching the show again, coz there's very good sound effect installed in this theater. Funny thing is, he said he wanted to watch again to confirm if the The Arcee twins died in the show, or they were just injured and got out of the script and never showed up again.

Hahaa, he apparently, failed to confirm that and ask me what I think. Dear also failed to notice some parts though he's watching the 2nd time. haha. I think he's very excited after watching the show and while I was driving home along west coast highway, there was a cement mixer in front of us that drove at a very slow speed.. I was like "wah lao, drive so slow!" then he commented "dun drive too near! It's a decepticon!" hahaa.

I managed to reach home and parked the car nicely despite those distractions that I had (chatting and discussing about the movie and the anime of transformers)..

30 June 2009

Wiki-day

I did nothing much on the weekends, except to watch transformers part 1 together with dear and helping him with facial mask on saturday, and watching a movie (by keanu Reeves) Street kings by myself on Sunday and doing the mask as well. hee.

Yesterday dear overslept and hence was not able to send me to work. hee. Lucky i smsed him early.. if not i have to take a cab to work like the first time he overslept.

Tonight's watching movie~! Transformers: Revenge of the fallen with my colleagues at Gold Class! Hee. It's consider a welcome and bday celebration organised by our recreation committee to some of our colleagues. 2 Jap bosses back out the last min.. hence we had 2 spare tickets.. they asked around to see who can bring their partner along.. So YT and I agreed.. Dear can actually dun take up the ticket since he watched last week.. but I insisted, coz we promised each other to watch gold class together at vivo, and I dun want to leave him out.

Ok. Today's wiki-day. That's what dear named it, for me. heh. He knew that I always have nothing to do on tues.. and hence instead of a "nothing-to-do" tuesday, he named it wiki-day. Coz there's a tendency of me reading up on random articles at wikipedia, and then sharing information with him after work almost every tuesday. hehe.

25 June 2009

I had a bad day start. I got up into the car and started talking about the black dress that was still with him after mum reminded me this morning. I told him about the conversation between me and my mum and I ended my conversation with "tonight you return me". After that, he simply flared up raising his voice at me saying "hana hana! its not that I keep forgetting!".

After that, its pure silent throughout the journey to my workplace. He vent his anger on the car, cutting lanes, braking late. And when I reached, not even a sincere goodbye from him, and he dun even bother to look at me when saying that. No goodbye kiss, for the first time.

Ok, I feeling kinda feeling sad right now.

Anyway, gotta stop thinking of the sadness.. I'll talk about yesterday...
Ok, YT drove her car yesterday and our destination was Bridal studio of ZX's. I am certified a road map idiot.. so dun ever ask me to read map on the spot. I won't be able to help. haha. For me, I always need to plan my route a day in advance, probably draw out a simplified map before going to the destination. heh. The map's not exactly accurate, coz there's a lot of diversion due to road works.. We went around a few circles, going in and out of ERP, before we got to our destination. haha. OK, we'll learn from that.

ZX had a few pieces in mind, just that she didnt know which one to get for her wedding gown. She tried a few and let us see what she had chosen as well. She looked beautiful in some of the dresses. The final decision was to confirm what she had chosen initially. Nice. hehee. Got a glimpse of her wedding gown as well.

Weddings are going on around me. I received another invitation for july 30th, just a day before my bday from my polyfriend. haha. So the total number of weddings i got to attend add up to a total of 4 in july, once every week. Not forgetting i got bday celebrations too. Argh~!!! my wallet is crying~~~~~. haha.

19 June 2009

Just changed my blog's background to a more soothing color.. makes it easier to read as well.

It's Friday~! I guess most of the people are looking forward to today. Coz, it'll be weekend next and you can spend some personal time alone / with friends / with your significant other / your family. Guess I'll be catching a movie with dear on the weekend and of course, get my perfume from Lucky plaza. =)

My company is treating (those who are available and interested) to a gold class movie at Vivocity on 30th Jun~! hee~ Transformers: Revenge of the fallen. I've always wanted to try out the gold class of Vivo's after watching the gold class at Great world. Great world's gold class screen is toooooo small. If not, it'll be perfect. haha. Thats why I hope that the screen will be way much bigger in Vivo.... Will keep you guys updated. hehee

This evening will be having dinner and our Haagen-Dazs dessert at Holland V. Thanks to Ju, she gave us a 25% off voucher from Haagen-Dazs and we decided to go for it. Yummy~!

Opps, I suddenly have a craving for teochew porridge... hm...

16 June 2009

Very sleepy today.. it's a nothing to do tuesday. I wonder how am i going to survive without any work. I want to sleep.

DEar's going to his ex colleague's wedding dinner today - that means we are not meeting today after work... maybe I will try to use this time to sleep early. heh.

Yesterday's movie I watched is drag me to hell. Dear thinks that it's a lame show, somehow just scarier than scary movies. haha.. For me, I think that the show is a funny horror, where the director injected some slow motion scenes/ eeky scenes to make you laugh or go "eeeewww". You'll understand what I mean when you watched the show. It's not scary... just the sound effects from certain parts makes you jumpy. for a bit.

Land of the lost by Will Ferrer is much better.. a lame guy in a lame show = comedy~! haha. Comedy still suits me the best.

15 June 2009

Went kbox yesterday from 11-2pm. heh. It's been a while since i K-ed. I feel that I dun have the power to sing liao lo. wahaha. Anyway, we had a fun time singing and laughing at each other. =p Just a comment - Kbox clementi Room 23 Sucks. The seats were torned and tattered into miserable bits.

We went to sis house in the afternoon. Nini and Ruru were soooo cute! hee~! It's been some time since i last saw them.. feel like hugging and squeezing them reallll tight! hee.. I just like the way they called me.. "ah-yi, ah-yi..." so sweet.

Tonight will be catching a movie with my colleagues. Drag me to hell. Horror/Thriller. I wonder if I will be afraid of old people after i watch the show.

09 June 2009

My trip to Phuket/Bangkok

Hi friends, I'm back from my getaway trip to Phuket and Bangkok~! 5 days seems too short~! haha. Ok I shall start recalling the happenings and blog it down here. Pictures will be up on Facebook and shutterfly when I'm free, coz i got loads of mails to clear, update myself with the happenings during the missing times and unpack my luggage.

Let's start from Day 1:

Location: Phuket, Rawai
Weather: Bright and sunny

When we reach the airport, we started off by bargaining the taxi fare and/or the fee for car rental. Ended up we took a taxi, taxi drove us to car rental near hotel resort, we drove off honda jazz and follow the taxi to the hotel.

Cost for taxi:600Baht
Cost for car rental:1200Baht
Petrol:500baht

Hotel: The mangosteen resort and villa
Cost: 170 SGD
Duration of stay: 1 night

Since it's a low season period (coz supposed to have thunderstorm throughout my stay according to weather forecast) there's really no pple/tourists. So we were treated like the royals, free upgrade to a bigger room with personal outdoor jaccuzi. The room oversees the ocean as well.. and were able to see the sun rise too. After we checked in, we went out to explore Phuket, utilizing our rented car to the max- Patong, Chalong Bay, Ao Po Pier, surin beach, kata beach and... i cant remember. haha. Kinda a road trip, and we got a bit lost here and there, but luckily, Phuket's road is easy to drive.. so we always managed to reach our destination, except the Ao Po pier.. where we got really lost in nowhere and we decided to turn back. hehee

We went to central festival, a shopping centre for a walk, before goin to Patong for our dinner at Playhouse (used to known as Sphinx) where we can eat and watch hollywood type of broadway shows. It's only us, watching the show that night. Those glittering and out-of-ordinary clothings (man with tight body suits) that they wore, made me giggle non-stop. But since we are the only ones in the room, I couldnt make it that obvious and I had to resort to pinching myself to stop laughing at them... and the exaggerated moves...

The dinner and the show was expensive.. but since we were there, we had to just go for it. After that, we went back to the hotel, coz driving back takes about 35-40 mins. The streets were poorly lit and we made a few turns before finding our hotel.

Day 2:

Location: Phuket, Chalong bay
Weather: Bright and sunny

The kind owner dropped us at Chalong bay when we returned the car. Then I realised that we were taking a speedboat to The Racha - A resort on a "deserted" aka Yai Racha island.

Hotel: The Racha
Duration of stay: 2 nights
Cost: 800SGD per night

We boarded the speedboat.. a small one... and the ride took about 30-40mins. Rough ride throughout the journey.. big waves and wind... made me turned blue when i reached the port. Real moody.

The villa was really nice. with an individual pool overseeing the beach and ocean, private jacuzzi, outdoor shower place, external living room with coffee machine - the expensive kind, and a big tv. For our room, it's just beside our private pool and we had a nice view of the beach, and just ten steps away, there's a "balcony" for us to sun tan. The room was built for couples - double shower heads, double basin, double mirrors etc. hee. nice setting.

The resort also had a public infinity pool with beach view, spa facilities, common lobbies, 3-4 makan places, library etc etc. most of the activities are free (coz very ex mah), like snorkeling, snooker, mountain biking, tennis, gym etc, except ATV safari tour and Spa. Forget to mention - the prices for food and spa are charged in an EXORBITANT fee. Sigh. since they are the only ones in that island, we had no choice but to spend.

We laze around enjoying the views and utilising the facilities in the villa itself during the afternoon, until dear asked me if I wanted a surprise. Of course I do, and hence I was asked to stay in the living room, while he prepare himself in the bedroom. After a while, a paper was slotted through the small opening on the floor asking me to go back to my room. I went back was surprise to see my black dress on the bed! Besides it, there's another note to ask me to meet dear at the library, and telling me to spray the insect repellent before going out.

I went out (and nearly fell) coz it's already dark. I walked to the library and saw dear in his shirt and pants upstairs (at the library). I went up and he presented a bouquet of flowers (45 roses) and brought me to the restaurant. The restaurant waiters then guided us up to the roof top of the library, where there's a table set up in the centre. A candlelight fine dining with a view of the infinity pool and beach - just the 2 of us.

5 course dinner ended with a waitress coming up bringing a gift with her. Then dear told me that 5th June 09 was the exact date that we have been together for 2000 days. He asked me to open the gift and it was a LV coin purse.. but i didnt realised that there's a ring inside. He then took the ring, got down on one knee and popped the question. =) I agreed and when he placed the ring to my finger.. then i realised... how come no rock? wahaha.. Then he explained to me saying that the one he ordered from US is not ready yet. Hence he gotta get a temporary stand in. haha. Silly. Then, 2 guys from the bar came up to us with their guitars and sang "Now and forever" by Richard Marx. Romantic lo.. hehe.

Day 3:

Laze around again (thats the point of getaway), until evening where we witness 2 females getting married by the sunset beach. Sweet. Ya 2 females from singapore. after that we went for a body scrub and while we were heading back to the room, the waitress of the restaurant actually tell us to stay around, coz there'll be fire works shooting from the mountain, firecrackers and the kongming lantern thingy. So we stayed, ordered a complimentary drink from the bar and sat at the beach. The fireworks were beautiful.=)

Day 4:

Got up early coz we need to catch the first speedboat out to the main island at 9am. Coz we were going to bangkok to shop~!

Location: Bangkok
Hotel: Arnoma Hotel
Cost: 120SGD
Duration: 1 night
Taxi: ~600baht.

Rest for a bit after checked in, and off we went to Isetan to get the wacoal bijoux bra for sis, and myself. wahaha. Nice. Got some some panties for my nieces from little wacoal too. After we had dinner, we went to the night market for a walk and then to platinum. I got some clothes and some babies one and then the shops started to close (around 7pm). sianz. I managed to cover only the basement and level one. Hence I decided to come back the very minute it opened the next day. heh.

Day 5:

Shopped til I dropped. I got a total of 12 tops, 3 shorts, 1 covered shoes, 3 accessories, loads of makan stuff for my family, sunglasses, belts.. and dear got his polo tees, tees, 3/4 pants, luggage, slippers and food as well. We had a lot of time left.. but we were too tired to continue and we got most of the stuff we wanted and.. we were running low on cash too. hehee. so we headed to the airport early to avoid traffic jam during rush hour and had dinner over at the airport. =) Home sweet home at 1.30am.. and slept at 2am... then... gotta work.

Thats all. more or less. hee.

Exact amt spend.. have to wait til we sum up everything. heh.

03 June 2009

Ah choo~! God bless me.

Oh no, I'm having a runny nose right now. Kept sneezing~! Must have caught a cold last night.. Thunderstorm eh?

I just popped a pill 15 mins ago. Drowsy formula. Hope that I can get well soon.. I dun want to fall sick on the eve of my holiday~!

01 June 2009

Last weekend's summary

Friday:
Van and I didnt really have the mood to work. Was actually looking forward to YT & YD's wedding... So, when the time struck 5.30pm, both of us rush to the restroom, had a quick shower, put on make up and then "woosh" down to meet my bf, who gracefully accepted the request of sending us to the wedding at Marina Mandarin (and of course, catching a movie by himself and waited for me til dinner was over to send me home- thanks ah~!).

The wedding was fun.. Took pictures with my uni-cum-poly friends, my colleagues, and of course, the bride. hee~ YT's simply gorgeous that night. I guess all brides do yeah? hee. I felt happy for her..coz all her stress for preparations are finally over.

Saturday:
Went to town on sat, coz we thinking of getting a tripod stand, scrabble and some polo-t. We went to best denki, coz dear had slightly over 150 bucks worth of points to redeem before this month end.. We looked at the tripod and it's real expensive. Wanted to get a webcam for my lappy, so that i can have a video conference with Dear when he's at overseas trip.. but then its like... expensive too.. So end up we got nothing from there.. just hope that before the month end, we have some ideas on what to get.

Anyway, we managed to buy a scrabble travel pack at a 10% discount (+another 10% off if paid by AMEX) at Taka departmental store. Yeah~! it's cool, coz the tiles are clipped on the board (wont move around) and we can temporary close it, get down planes/trains/buses and resume the game later without the fear that the tiles will come off~! hee. We had fun playing with the game when we got home that night.. to the extend of going west coast plaza starbucks, brought a dictionary along and started the game, enjoying ice-blended choco drinks, aircon and the game. heh. (met ting's mum and family and they were surprised that I'm spending my time there.. playing scrabble. hehe)

Oh ya, not to forget, we went chinatown to get those cheap daily groceries.. and we saw a tripod stand that cost only 25 bucks~! it's much more cheaper than what we saw at best denki~! so we bought it... for our upcoming phuket trip. hee.

Sunday:
Laze around most of the time until its time for me to attend del's wedding at M hotel. Dinner was ok just that the service of the waiters were not that great. 1 thing I want to say again, Del was specially beautiful on her wedding day... probably back in attachment days in LNUS, she wasnt wearing makeup.. so when i saw her yesterday was like "wow~!" hee~~

Today:
Having typical monday blues.. not enough sleep.. but its OK~! Since i'm on leave from wednesday afternoon onwards. hee.

28 May 2009

Office talk.

haha.. guess what, Joe just helped to change some of the damn slow pcs RAM from 512Mb to 1Gb. .. (I'm having one of those). Anyway, performance not optimal but at least it's faster~! ha. I also asked him to upgrade my firefox from version 1 to the current one. Yes~! Although the flash player remains outdated (a lot of FB applications cannot see) but still, it's way much better now~! haha. Thanks a lot~!

26 May 2009

I really looked forward to my Phuket/Bangkok trip next week.. after working for like, 7 months in this sorta new job, it’s definitely a must to getaway. To enjoy and relax. Was mentioning at my facebook status – “routine lab work makes me feel stupid”.. I can’t imagine that my so-call “passion” for lab work has gone down tremendously. Haha.

Gone were the days in LNUS.. busy, political issues, backstabbing, badmouthing, gossiping, grievances… it’s all bad stuffs.. but I sorta enjoy and missing it. Wahaha. That’s usually the common topics at tea and lunch breaks. Despite those negative feelings from the upper management, I can still survive – with the co-encouragement from my dear colleagues last time. At least, that adds “colors” to the job, squeezing out brain juice to come up with plans, SOPs, and most importantly – tackling those upper management pple.. or rather, saving energy to gossip, to complain, and to eat snake.

Anyway, back to the main topic. I’m going to phuket - free and easy.. so anyone knows where’s a good place to go? I have absolutely no idea. Like makan places and shopping? Or somewhere the scenery’s soooo nice that I should not miss it? Please tell me by leaving a message somewhere, either here or in Facebook or sms me. Thanks a lot for the help. Hee~

25 May 2009

Disturbed

Can you imagine I went to bed at 10.15pm, toss and turn for exactly 1 hour and couldnt sleep, hot and sweaty, I went to take a cold shower at 11.15pm, and went back to bed after that.
I'm so tired right now.

How I wish I'm with Dear in New Zealand right now. He was saying yesterday that it's only 10dC plus over there. Cold.

23 May 2009

Contented

So happy. I ate

Fried chicken wing
Muah Chee
Fishballs
Cotton Candy
Macdonald's ice cream cone

as my dinner. *burps*

22 May 2009

It's Friday~! Finally~! Will be catching a movie tonight.. Night at the museum. hee. Dear's leaving for new zealand at tmr evening. yes. again. He's always flying around.. so.. is it good or bad? Rest assure that up til now, I didnt complain to him that he's not having enough time with me. haha. At least he scheduled the flight to be back on next Thurs, so that he can send me to YT's wedding dinner on Friday and accompany me to Del's wedding on Sun. hee.

19 May 2009

Just today.

A SBS bus broke now on a 2 lane road somewhere at a junction near my house. It usually takes about 1 min (by car) to go out of my carpark to reach the junction.. and today - it took approx 20 mins. See the big difference? haha

Of course, I'm late for work. Reached office and clocked in about 8.43am. First time. I cant stand the red word "LATE" reflected on my screen whenever i logged in to my ioffice. Sianz. haha. Lucky dear did a "damage control" by "speeding" with his powerful GTi.. muahaha. Exciting ride today as well. heh.

Anyway, it's a nothing-to-do tuesday.. so late is ok. wahaha. Continue to read a journal that Koby passed to me last week.. was diligently reading until he went on leave on friday and Sat.. so my brain went on leave as well. Today he's back (from Japan - why no home quarantine???), I have to switch on my working brain again..

The new scholl foot & nail cream that i bought seems to be working (i've been consistently applying the cream for 3 days) and my heels are definitely better now...

Meeting ex colleagues for lunch later on. =)

Watching movie tonight too.

Dear got a cranberry juice for me this morning.. coz he knew that cranberries good for women. hee. so sweet.

18 May 2009

Weekend summary

Dear came back from India last Sat. I met up with Ying at JP2 before dear came to pick me up after his rest.

Ying and I went around JP2.. and I'm just like a tour guide introducing JP2 to her. haha. I dun frequent JP2 often... but that's Ying's first time there. hee~ We went walking around to find a hair clip to clip our fringes.. We saw nice but expensive ones at the first shop... hence we decided to walk around to see other choices.. In the end, we went back to the first shop. It's really quality that we were looking for. The crystals were brighter and designs were nicer.. in the end we got a total of 4 hairclips for a whooping ~80 dollars~! I never got such an expensive hairclips before.. but since I like it, I will treasure it. haha. Oh, we can return to the shop to get free replacements of crystals if our crystals happened to drop out due to wear and tear. thats good. heh.

Sunday - went to Far east plaza to get a dress for YT's wedding dinner. I have limited number of dresses.. so no harm buying lah. Time to be more feminine liao. hehee. I went into a shop - with only me as the customer, I tried on a lot of dresses.. in the end, I only got 1. A black dress, with the length just right. It's only 22 bucks~! cheap and nice. heh.

Forgot to mention, dear wanted to eat the famous ba chor mee at Crawford link before going to far east.. and he spent an hour queuing before getting the food.. and I spent an hour sitting down, waiting for food. Sigh. Dear said, due to the long waiting time.. no matter what, I must say that the ba chor mee is NICE~! hee.

We head back home early after getting the dress and using our Anderson 10 dollar vouchers for a couple vondue.... so that I can catch the last episode of the condor heroes. hehee. after that, watch the last bit of Monsters Inc on channel 5 and thats all for our day.

By the way, I created a facebook account for dear. hehe.
