Number of days with Snow: 27 Monday, January 4, 2010
So far so good, still need to get used to the keyboard though I seriously think that my nails are the culprit. So after bee's ROM, and CNY, I can cut my nails and then we will see how.
I finally bought cases and a screen protector for snow le! Bb and I ordered from Gary and his blogshop of iphone accessories, and we managed to get stuff at a cheap rate too! Niceeeeeee!! So snow is now pimped out in a MIRROR screen protector now wor.... sibey chio!
But I still have yet to find a suitable case la... bought 2, one pink one to match bb's blue case (we bought them tog.. hehehe) and a nice woven white back cover. Still looking for the full protection case though! If you see it, let me know!
It's a brand new year! And Cheryl came out with a whole long list of resolutions, one of which includes not eating snake at work (so why are we still blogging during office hours? huh? huh huh huh??????). Hahaha, and of cos, to be more physically active and to have a healthier lifestyle and drink more water. hur hur hur....
We went PARTYYYYY-ing on NYE at the siloso beach and left snow at home. She was pretty upset about it la... that she was left home. And poor me, who is slowly getting used to her smartness and resourcefulness found myself at a lost when I couldn't check if we could walk to Sentosa anot. (cos the line to go up to take the monorail is vvvvv long. btw, i heard tt the line to take the monorail is also vvvv long la). Basically we kinda queued up for the better part of the night. And then the fun begins! Will blog more bout this later. :)
Am really starting to miss the radio. I MUST find a way to let me listen to the radio with snow.. anyone has ideas? The mediacorp radio app only gives access to the news channels - mainly 93.8fm and capital dunno wat number. It's chinese so I wun even look at it.
I want my 987fm!!!!!
And I want to blog on the go!!!!
And I want an easier to use itunes system!!!!
But I still love you. you know tt right snow darling? :)
Bought snow her first paid app too - and it's fairy tale mahjong. HAHAHAHAHAHA... damn fun, and i'm having loads of fun too on the tap tap revenge and *AHEM* getting very good at it too... :D
To the point that I've decided to play it o the bus later to bb's house.
But I think she's eating a bit too much battery for a new phone. Then again, considering the amount of apps and the many many many uses that I used her for, think it somehow justifies huh? :)
Number of days with snow: 5 Wednesday, December 23, 2009
Tried blogging on Snow today but failed. All I could do was to input the title and that's about it.
:(
have to write the text in office. Anyways, I was prompted to blog as I noticed people ignoring the priority seat stickers and sitting on the sides. Hmmmmm.... and it's not like they are old, pregnant, needy or disabled.
iTunes is working properly now.. :D with my new hip and happening songs. Ping died on me yesterday evening when I tried to ping glenn. But it revived itself at night and yay it's up le...
Yesterday snow and me witness a guy proposing to the gf and then she went limp and cried. duh... more bout tt later.
I shall try to keep my snow posts focused on Snow. :)
Still have yet to find a suitable wardrobe for Snow. Hope something comes by soon. 5days and still no screen protector, no casing!
Number of days with Snow: 3 Monday, December 21, 2009
Was way too tired from all that shopping yesterday to update the blog (but got time to download more songs for snow. haha)
Didn't do much yesterday, except to sleep most of the day away, then there was a frantic rush to wrap Jem's and Bee's presents only to realise that we will nt be meeting as bee had lost her phone. *phew* which gives me more time to slowly do other stuff first. But I sumpa that I will get down to wrapping the present like real soon.
Went out for an early dinner with mum and sis at 5.30pm as sis was kp-ing that if we go out too late there will not be any parking lots. Which was damn bloody true! 5.30pm only and the carpark was almost full! Geez... Must be the festive season, and the mad rush for last minute gifts, of which me and sis and mum are culprits too! haha..
Had dinner at Manhattan FISH MARKET, and I must say that the North point outlet has one of the best service standards! Which is saying alot as most of the outlet we went, we are met with great service. We tried their deserts -
tiramisu and mud pie
Damn delicious la! Especially the mudpie. It was way too hard so the service staff offered to heat it up a little more for us. Not wayyyyy too sweet too. But after the mudpie, you wun be able to taste the tiramisu already. It cost $6.90 each and photos are courtesy of Snow. :)
Did loads of shopping and spent loads of money. Bought mum her Christmas presents - clothes and shoes, sis bought me presents - clothes and shoes. Saw a screen protector for Snow but did not managed to get it. No nice suitable covers for her as well. Booooooooo..
Bought Xavier's gift. It's a damn cute niu niu which can moo when you press his tummy. No pictures though.. maybe tonight when I get back. Got 1 more of the sesame street umbrella and will be going back to ask for another 2 more later as the counter was closed at 9.30pm when I tried to redeem them again. And 1 umbrella need about $200sgd to redeem, just do the math and realise the amt of moola we spent at North point in a night!
KNS!!!!
And we got the membership for this clothes shop called Bega - thanks to mum. But at least we bought her enough new clothes to wear for CNY, so tt's settled. Good thing too, so she will stop wearing T-shirts only. My mum is getting hipper!
Some sales girl stepped on mum's toe last night too, causing it to bruise! totally wtf lor.. I had wanted to bring mum to the doc and made the girl pay for her medical fees. I mean, the fact that she can step on my mum's toe until it turn blue black!! Imagine the force man! But mum didn't want to kick up a big fuss and asked to forget it. Lucky bitch!
And oh...... I dropped Snow today on her 2nd day out.... :( Was carrying too many stuff then Snow wanted to see something on the floor so she nose-dived down. But thank God for sis's thick white iphone cover, it protected the sides, face and edges of the phone. And sis said that there weren't any scratches. But still!!! :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
Today I used Snow's alarm for the first time. A wee bit soft though. Thanks to my old trusty samsung phone who still chimes my 7am alarm even without a SIM card, I was already half awake when the iphone feebly beeped at 7.30pm. But I think that can be adjusted, so no worries.
On the train, booboo number 2 happened. I started listening to my songs that I have plonk into my iphone last night and put it on shuffle. At first I was wondering why do it only play the old songs that I have, and then on the train, I took out the phon and realised that all the songs that I downloaded was somehow not in the iphone! only those songs that I preiously load to my ipod nano were there. Hmmmmmmmm..... hopefully I can rectify the problem soon if not it will be damn damn sian to keep having to listen to secret, high school musical and backstreet boys. Shudder.
Or I should quickly go search and dl a radio application.
lunch today - mcspicy. cute chicken! :)
Lunch in today to start making those frames for my colleagues!! And to blog of cos... looking forward to my time off later! And hopefully I can sleep early today :)
Days with Snow (my baby iphone!) - 1 Sunday, December 20, 2009
19 December 2009
Cheryl Lee has officially acquired an iPhone as of Friday, 18 December 2009 at about 8pm. She has since slowly explored the phone and it's many features and application and is damn totally fascinated with it!
Wooohooo!!!
iPhone rocks! and so do you. (u know who u are! *winks*)
Went for lunch with Felicia and the rest of the family in celebration of her bday, and of cos, took Snow out for her first trip! I started fiddling with her last night already but I was really pretty shagged out and the itunes store account wasn't working as well.
So I only managed to download Facebook on iphone this morning, along with a few many other apps! iphone rules man!!! But I realised that all my contacts were gone! And so I could only call Bb as his number is the only one that I can remember offhand. Very sad. haha.. (problem has since been resolved when he helped me import my contacts over)
Then there was the number display number, which I would have to go manually input country codes to the numbers to make them look more normal. Good thing is, even though they look funny, they still work! calls are still able to get through, which is the most impt thing.
We are still learning about each other - snow and I. :)
Brought snow to a concert too - it's the 3 Good Men concert (and damn! huang pin yuan has a damn nice chest and abs la!)
Tested out her camera functions too. Not sure how many many pixels does the cam has, but it was totally no zoom function and so all that we can see are tiny people, whom we can't make out who. It's ok, I have had sense to take some photos with my digi cam, but have to wait till mon when I get back to office to upload.
But I tried uploading a picture there and then to FB. AND IT BLOODY WORKED!!! I'm totally blown away.
It's damn impressive la!!!!!!!!!
Everyone should get an iphone.
the very handsome huang ping yuan. with gorgeous abs and chest! Though u can't really tell from here....
him again! *drools*

Thinking about iphone all day Tuesday Tuesday, December 15, 2009
It really all started when bb bought his phone and I started enjoying the many many different applications and free games that he got to download and play! And then sis went and bought hers, and with that came all the different camera applications, and colour swatches which was so damn cool!
And then cousin got his. And now Glenn. So just the other day when we went out together to shop for Wilfred's present, (which was coincidental that it was the day when the phones were launched for M1 and starhub) he showed off the phone's ability to me and I was totally blown away! He could call up my blog in an instant, and it came up totally like how it would look like when I'm viewing it on my com screen!, play worms 2, chat on facebook and MSN!
So I concluded that if I too have a phone like that, I could probably blog when I'm travelling as well, but with it being damn slow. And just think of all the other amazing things that I could do with the phone! that would be damn cool won't it? Cept for the price. I finally got the time to go call starhub today, and to find out about the price and the girl mentioned that I would be required to pay an additional $100 bucks to extend my line as it is not up 21mths yet.
Which makes... a
8GB 3G phone cost $218 and a
16GB 3G S Phone cost $368
And that brings us to my hesitation. I don't mind paying 218 for the phone, but cousin pointed out to me that 8GB doesn't have 3GS. Which everyone else asked me to get that version. But it would cost a whooping 368 bucks! I still cannot justify the amount that I need to pay to "reward" myself for the year's hardwork. Considering that bonus is not alot, and I still have got a fair bit of things to pay off and buy.
Then again, if I wait out then it would also be pointless! but it would be $100 dollars saved. Mum too just renewed her line so we are unable to use her line to extend to get the phone. Think that the price of the phone won't come cheap as well. How huh?
I had wanted to go down to vivo city today and check out the phones since I do not have to go to the airport anymore, but then it just have to rain damn heavy, making me stuck in office. Hmmmm.. See how la...
BIG MONEY Thursday! (10 dec 09) Monday, December 14, 2009
Wilfred jio-ed me to an asiaone's event whereby the theme for that night is casino. :)
Not before having to sit though an hour long meeting with HIM bout some fabulously stupid ideas - not that I mention to HIM his ideas were dumb and useless. I honestly wouldn't want a
separate, alone 4 hour long session with HIM.
HahahahaAnyways, sad news aside, met Wilfred for a quick dinner at Central mall at some small little Taiwanese stall. We had the lu rou fan, which cannot match up to the one at Peng Lai Ge. And it really did not help that I just had the peng lai ge's lu rou fan on Tuesday to be able to make comparison. But it's can pass la. And we were hungry.
So after dinner, we went on to Zirca where I was stopped by the first of 2 bouncers, asking for my age. Damn funny la! And after we managed to gain access into the lobby and registered in, the 2nd bouncer who is supposed to give out stamps asked me again for my age. Hahahaha... Wil for some reason was offended and said they prob was trying to pick me up la! Hahahahaha... damn funny!
In the main hall, casino tables were set up!
that's the tai sai table!
There were 3 types of games to play that night - Blackjack, Tai Sai (Big / Small) and Roulette. As I have never played any of these games before in a casino, I just tagged along with Wil to wherever he went. And I must say that the night's experience really helped me quite a fair bit from the kuku casino noob that walked into the casino at Genting 4 years ago!
We did play at all the 3 tables, starting with the roulette table first! And I think we won... a little wee bit! then we went to the Tai Sai table and won a little wee bit more. The Blackjack table was damn crowded - cos there's a max cap of 8 people able to play at any one time. But we did manged to play 1 game there! Lost though... but it was ok... :)
the prizes up for grabs that night! revised prices!
We were all given $3,000 each for that night to play, and we are suppose to earn the money back and use them to redeem prizes! But halfway through the night, they decided to half all the cost of the prizes, and someone quickly grabbed my Macau trip! KNS!
gambler wil
The chips felt very nice to hold! And I wanted to take back a 1K chip. But I think we are not supposed to! Wil was telling me why - cos out there, this is REAL money. Which makes alot of sense. Good thing though too. Mich was telling me the next day that chips are nt allowed to be brought out of the casino. People are supposed to change their chips for money before they leave the place.
As the night became later and the tables are starting to close, we became desperate to win more and started to bet bigger -
that tall pile of chips is ours!
And we managed to win a bit. started off with 6k in total, ended up with 6$,1xx. Not too bad la! At least can still redeem a leather tumbler! But in the end, we pooled chips together with wil's colleagues and got enough for a $150 Tangs voucher! Woooo Hooo!!! That's new clothes for me! :)
On our way back, we were also given a piccolo bottle of Pink - some new sparkling wine. The reviews were good for it, but I have yet to try it. Wil asked if I wanted to stay to party, But Bb doesn't really like his Cher to party, so she went home instead.
On Cher's way back, she met this stupid uncle on the bus who refused to move to let her have a seat! KNS! She was pretty much pissed (as her feet was hurting from all the standing) and had a good mind to step on his feet to make him move! But nahhhh... she didn't do so. Managed to get a seat towards the end of the bus journey home and guess wat! Uncle alights at the same stop! Evil Cher decides to try to trip uncle, but her conscious got the better of her and she stopped herself from doing so.
But who knows, uncle was following behind her! And came up to her and asked if she speaks Chinese. Of cos she bloody answered NO! cos she does not want to talk to uncle. But he pressed on! and asked her if she ever did modeling (full time? part time? freelance?? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!) asked her if she's Singaporean? or from china? (WTF!!!!!!!) and a whole load slew of bloody stupid, pointless questions.
Anyways, I've gotten rid of uncle. So everything is cool. Thank God!
While I'm done (finally!) with the Website and SMS updates and looking forward to go home to Bb, he called to tell me some bad news - that he has to work double shift today! geez!!! :(
Apparently his colleague's mum in PHI is not feeling well, and he would need to go visit her, hence he is not able to work and tt's why Bb has to take over the shift. I suppose that cannot be helped la... so bo pian lor... So Bb would be working from 7am to 11pm today! Poor darling!
And another piece of news is that ZAch Ong the swimmer will be coming home tml as well! So it means that I would have to wait for him to touch down at close to 8pm! And I'm sure media would want to come and interview him. Goodness! Dunno how long will that take too.. which makes my time with Bb that much shorter! But I suppose good also la, then hopefully he would be able to study a few more chapters. I do hope that the Praba would grant him off tml man! if not I wonder how he is going to find time to study for his paper on Thurs..
And if all goes well, we might be able to do some shopping on Thurs afternoon! :) It's really about time that I get started. Maybe I can start surfing around in office for suitable stuff first! hahaha.... *wink*
