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.

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.

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...

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.

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

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~!

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.
