highlights from my TW photoshoot

2011-05-29T22:59:00.005+08:00

will be uploading the pics from the tw photoshoot at a later time, but for now, just a teaser, one of my favourite looks from the photoshoot..

The bands

2011-05-25T14:12:00.002+08:00

according to my checklist, i'm only supposed to buy the wedding bands like 6 months before the wedding. however, we got our quite early... in feb this year.

firstly, we wanted the rings in time for our pre wedding photoshoot in taiwan in may.

secondly, i heard stories about how people needed like 3 months to engrave / change the sizes of the ring...

thirdly, gold prices are increasing by the day! and the bands that we are eyeing are getting more and more expensive. this is because they use yellow gold as the base, and then plate the white gold over it... hence when gold prices rise, the cost of rings increase too.

we were deciding between the design at meyson and one from the diamond atlier. in the end we decided to go with the meyson one as it has a row of diamonds, as opposed to TDA's which is a tiny until cannot tiny diamond (its even smaller than my engement ring's side diamond!)

our bands. it's wavy, which makes it really unique. mine has a row of diamonds on onw of the wavy part. :)

when i wear both rings together on the same finger

as both rings are bought from the same shop, they fit really perfectly together :) which will enable me to wear both my engagement and wedding ring on the AD. but i would believe that after the wedding i shall only wear my engagement ring out on special occassions. we dun want the diamond to be scratched do we!

Full of love

2011-05-25T13:54:00.002+08:00

love you too :)

breakfast with love on a weekend! he cooks awesome and im so lucky!

we bought a heart-shape thingy for the eggs and this was bb's first try.. :)

bb's list of things needed for the AD / guo da li. no one can understand!

my dream ring pillow! elise's fren made this for one of their other friend when she got married, and i tried to borrow it but the bride might nt be willing. hence, am looking for someone to make the exact same thing for me.. maybe either victoria or miaofang's brother

My engagement!

2011-05-25T12:30:00.007+08:00

The deed was done on 27 nov 11, a very eventful day and build up to it! haha!

I knew that it was going to happen sooner or later as we bought my ring together at meyson sometime in October or september.. saw the design some months back but we were still hesitating and still looking at other designs, when i feel that there won't be another design that i like better than this. so we got the design. however, the one that we wanted was already sold out and we have to get one of a different size. same setting though.. :)

a gorgeous 0.4 carat, with 6 small diamonds on each side :)

Bb is also wearing his engagement bracelet, which i got from citigems for him. hehe

ok so, the plan was that we shall go to batam to celebrate our 3rd year anniversary, and the hotel suite was booked long before.. and i remember i was in the midst of booking our ferry tickets when he suggested that we shall not go to batam afterall.

the reason was that we should save the money instead, and that our parents should meet to talk about our impending wedding plans (we brought up the wedding thing to our parents even before the ring was given to me. also, they knew that we have gotten a HDB flat in oct, after we applied for it in aug). so i understood the reason behind and canceled the room and all.

then he told me that his fren - johann - needs help for his school project. it was a photography project and he would require models - a couple - to pose for him. so johann approached bb and me to help. i was like alright, should be quite fun, and was telling bb wahh just nice we decided not to go for the trip, if not we also wun be able to help his fren!

so closer to the shoot date, bb was telling me that the story board is of a couple getting together, and the locations that we will be going to may be like cable car or singapore flyer. so i was asking him why did the fren choose locations that need to pay money de? cos places like henderson waves / hort park can take equally nice photos ah, and so he said that he will discuss with his fren lor.. and ohh... he mentioned something like his fren will pay us for this modelling thingy, which i totally went huh?? frens helping out each other no need to pay ppl money la.. just maybe give a treat, and maybe pay for the props that he might require can le..

then an idea came about to me... bb can use the ring as a prop. and that would make a nice pic too right? hahahahaha

so a day before the shoot, bb came and pick me up from office for dinner at TCC at anchorpoint and presented me with flowers! gorgeous red roses! :) so i asked him if its for me to keep or after using it as a prop must return as its supposingly paid for by johann right?

and bb said that i could keep. HAHAHA

so anyways, on the day itself, we woke up early, went to tpy and picked johann up and went to sentosa and started snapping away.. this is one of the many photos that we took that day

love the colour of the sun, sand and sea!

loved every bit of it, except maybe for the ultra hot weather. we took the cable car in to sentosa and took photos at the imbia and the beach. and on the cable car back to harbour front, bb told me that the photoshoot was a lie and that johann was actually here as a favour to him to capture the moment when he propsoed to me.. and he took out the ring and placed it on my finger.

oh wow!!!

but it was really not that romantic.. i kinda forgot to say that i didnt believe him and was seriously doubting him as this was my suggestion for johann's project remember?

but bb kept saying that its real, and that i can keep the ring and wear it everyday now for he's giving it to me... and then i believed him.. SO I GOT ENGAGAED JUST LIKE THAT!!!

though it wasnt the most romantic i must say, its something that he planned out for me and i do appreciate the thought he put into it :)

and so we went tell people that we want the tatty teddy wedding dolls as an xmas present!

for the car :) its so going to be gorgeous lor!

this one came as a bonus... i prob will be using them for the ang bao box :)

and the wedding planner book that bb bought for me for xmas!

my maple engagement came true.. :) going to be mrs xiami soon!

teddy tales

2011-05-25T12:17:00.005+08:00

we got a dog!!!

this was sometime back on 9 april - a male mini schnazuer whom we named Teddy!

one of the first photos that we took of him! :)

bought him from a home breeder and our hands are so full of him!

Poor chap was initially kicked out from my home cos mum didnt like him.. so we had to put him at xiami's parents place - who didnt like him either at first... but now they are ok le!

we had a pretty trying period then, cos teddy wasnt toilet trained, and was peeing and pooing everywhere. he got it just before we left for our taiwan trip, but forgot when we came back. pick it up back again, but forgot it when xiami went to malacca and he ha to go back to my place. prob its because we keep bringing him around, making him confused. poor doggy.

such a mess!

anyways, he's happier now i guess.. sometimes in the morning we will let him up on our bed to snuggle up to us when we hit the snooze button and sleep for 15mins more. haha. such an adorable boy, the only down side is that he barks when left alone (lonely i supposed), and that he doesnt really know how to pee and poo in the toilet, which we are trying to make him remember once more.

but, once he can go out (on 5th june), we shall bring him outsides and hopefully he will pee and poo on grass, then it will be way easier. the poor pooch whines and barks when we have to leave him alone - to go work, or to go out buy food and it really makes us miss him loads when he does that..

anyways, now all i look forward to do is to go home from work (for most of the days) to play with him.. hehe

Back to blogging

2011-05-25T12:10:00.002+08:00

maybe some things will never change.

like me forsaking this blog like always. and after months or even years, iwill decide to come back, only to leave it yet again.

Maybe it will be like that once more, but i decided that if i do not keep a wedding blog (or something that might resemble a wedding blog), i would prob

a) cannot keep track of plans
b) cannot remember much of the wedding planning process
c) wonder why i didnt keep one back then. afterall, marriage is a once in a lifetime thing right? :)

so after broswing through some wedding blog websites, i realised that im still confortable with my very own neglected blog here... so i shall try to update as frequently as i can, and to catch up with lost time.

hehe.. im back!

So much for a happy birthday

2010-05-01T15:57:00.002+08:00

So much of emaotions, feelings, thoughts, but no where to hold.

The heart is empty, disappointed, and losing its last sheds of hope.

Guess this is more severe than PMS, probabally this is what they meant by mid life crisis.

Am starting to feel that there really nothing worth living for here. How do you get the thnigs that you want? What are you fighting for?

Chance upon his ROM photos last night while surfing and realised that he was really serious with her. From the photo albums, they were together for at most what? 1.5 to 2 years max. And was enough to make he realised that she was the one for him? To the extend of using all her photos to make up his msn background.

Guess that was enough to make the heart go into VF twice over. But as with all things, am sure I will be able to get over it soon.

It makes me feel sad to hear of people getting together. Him getting married, Junn having a child, Jem also soon to come. Happy for them yes, but it just makes me think on my life instead. When will I be able to find that special someone who is able to take care of me?

Should I learn to vroom vroom??

2010-03-08T14:14:00.002+08:00

Recently have been toying with the idea of learning driving.... again

Especially when I see my sister drives. And with Bb willing to let me try driving the van *hiak hiak* things should be quite fun!

Then there's the usual questions: school / private?? (or more less i think its pte) auto / manual?? (this i'm pretty much certain that i'll be picking manual le la...)

Bb asked me to wait for 3 months first, to see if his career is going to pick up, and then he will decide what kind of car to get (high chance it will be a manual car la) and that he might be able to sponsor my driving lessons! Yippee!!!!

Pretty excited. I even got ready contacts for private instructors! hohohohoho....

Only thing left now is to go read up the FTT, to ensure that I can pass it. :) But the book is pretty boring and dry... as compared to the King Authur. hehehe And I so wanna try my hands on driving before having the urge to pick up the dry book to look through...

Hmmmm.... vrooom vroom!!!

Bo liao stuff :)

2010-03-07T15:39:00.002+08:00

Some very very random stuff taken recently...
Which makes up our memories :)

A happy me after I finish work! and on the way to meet huiyi... hahaha... took the photo at the bus 16 bustop and sent it to bb on watsapp. Super random! :)

bb's nail art on my fingernails.... sigh... didn't managed to capture the drawing too huh.. it's a picture of a sun (me) and how to earth (xiami) revolves around it. sweet :)

a "love isaac" tattoo that bb gave me.. thick skinned lei!!!

a totally random pic of bb that he took and sent to me. hahaha!!! love my spontaneous b!

The sweetest surprise

2010-03-07T15:20:00.002+08:00

my dearest

That was on 12 Feb, especially for valentine's! Cos this year we will be pretty busy visiting and we both know that we will not have time for love love celebrations..

Bb came to look for me after work on the friday and we went to leisure park together to meet his fren fm coffee bean.. And while they were chatting in there, I was *hee hee* checking out sg car mart on my iphone.. saw this reasonably cheap picanto la.. and wanted to look at more photos of the coupen when I saw my darling was done and *ta da!!!* there was a rose in his hands!

So I asked if the girl that he met just now gave him a little something for vday. And he was like.... "of cos not!!!!" this is for you....... :)

Just melts my heart..... Thank you baby for the love.

Bad time management again. Damnit!

2010-03-07T14:35:00.003+08:00

And that's why I havent been blogging for a long while!

Work has been pretty busy!!! with the additional workload, blogging during work is no more. I even have to skip lunch to do work! OMG! And still go home at 7pm, 8pm... sheesh!

Will slowly blog about the past MONTH. sigh..... and do up the 4 approval papers that I have to give mich tml... and the promotion form thingy...

And the cross stitch that I'm still owing bee. (mega shit!!)

And the advance theory book that I say I wanna read for the longest time.

And to help mum create a facebook account.

It's a good thing that I asked bb to go play soccer. At least it gives me time to do my own stuff. And prepare my notes for the stupid upcoming "interview" with chief.

Or maybe I should flip through the papers and online portals.

So much to do, so little time.

And as usual, I will push work (the approval papers) to the last. god I so hope Mich isn't reading this!

It's a hot hot day!

Especially for Fucktard

2010-02-22T13:48:00.002+08:00

Enough said!

He pissed Sheena off so much today that she was fuming!

Anyways, will try to upload more photos and blog about the events of the month of Feb during lunch times.... am getting busier and busier with work, which might not be a bad thing... all I can say is that for the next month, things are gonna get bumpy and exciting. Just hold on tightly! :)

Days with Snow: 60

2010-02-19T15:13:00.003+08:00

Can you believe it! It's been 2 months! OMG! There are already scratches on the mirror protector! :( Then again, the screen protector only cost me $4.... The phone has never been dropped before though!! And the apple logo at the back is definitely scratch free and the white is still clean and white!

I have been keeping it in good shape! And have been using it apps very often and well. And yesterday, I managed to find the way to Joanne's place from my office using google maps! And oh.... no taxis! I took a bus and walked the distance! Damn impressive! The thing is, google maps may not be 100% accurate. I remember that yesterday it kept pointing me to use a road that doesn't exist. In it's place there was this mega huge protected building (the police logistics!!), fenced up and all and there was a gate at the supposed road that clearly states that it's a protected place and entry is denied! OKIEEESSSSSS

So I had to ignore the goondu google maps and walk one HUGE BIG round around it. Like to Tg Katong ave, then to green lane and wateverthename is called ave until I saw the building which I recognised from a looooooooong time back when we crashed at Joanne's place for projects during poly days!

I was like damn zai la myself!!!! (I was close to giving up and taking a cab instead when I was lost on dunman road and initially did not know how to walk across the huge protected area) And then I realised that Joanne's place is just next to the police logistics place, also known as the huge protected area!!! So If I could have just cut across the place, I will be there in 5mins! But instead, I think I took about 15mins to walk around everything looking at the gps all along.

Still an achievement! Mighty proud of myself!

Din take photos of people at Joanne's place. Only dogs. :) Din play card games there too! Only ate. I had wanted to play BlackJack de... but by the time Cliff, Joanne's bf finish explaining the rules, Bb had reached Joanne's place and it was time to leave. Took Bert too and Bb gave her a lift to Aljunied MRT station. And along the way, she was "WOW-ing" when she heard that me and xiami are 2yrs +++ already. hahaha :)

the tiny one

but kept barking like nobody's business. Cliff says she bites too! But she looks like an angel!

the king charles spaniel! Very hard to take a cute picture! :(

As it was pretty late, stayed at Bb's place that night... and had to wake up earlier than usual when I stay at his place. Hmmmmmmm.... Cos he has a meeting as well at 9.30am and then he set the alarm at 7am, and 7.30am - which is like the time that I usually wake up when I'm at home. Liews!!!!! Simply put, I did not get to sleep more la today even though I am staying at his place.

Am so sleepy in the office as a result! Eyes kept closing even though it was the earlier part of the day! Cannot la like that... Think I will jsut go back home today early to sleep off the sleep debt. Since Bb is planning to to to the LFI place anyways with his fren to prospect people. ZZzZZZzZZzzZZzZZZZzZZZzzZzzzzzZzzz

I think I'm slowly but surely taking on more things now. :) Attended a meeting on cheer culture this meeting, and I have a feeling that this wil continue on and I will have more things to do! I just have to make sure that I can stay awake and not shutting my eyes all the time. :)

Then, met bb for lunch at the LPK - the sushi! And we ordered a serving of desert for the first time

looks yummy!

Everything was yummy except for the black sesame ice cream. YUCKS!!! But I suspect tt Bb likes it and want to go to geylang to eat the zi ma hu.... oh no!

That time of the year again

2010-02-18T17:21:00.002+08:00

Appraisal la!

Am doing it now cos mini me just sent out an email to say that I'm to meet HIM on Monday at 1.15pm. Sickening!!!!

So I'm starting the slow and painful process today. Because I dun really wanna ruin my Friday by doing appraisal la! But at the slow snail pace in which I'm torturing my poor fingers to type, chances are I still would have to do it tml. BLAH~~~~

And then I still have to reply to the B!tches from the production companies. Major sian. I may have good news though! *jump jump jump jump* But it will also mean additional work load for the next 2 -6 weeks. But then again, hey! when the going gets tough, the tough gets going! And I know that I can do it! At most, I will just skip lunch (AND HOPEFULLY LOSE WEIGHT) or stay back till late to do up all my work and the additional one that will be coming in. No worries! Cheryl the Super Energetic is able to conquer all obstacles that might come her way!

The setting of the sun

2010-02-17T18:40:00.004+08:00

Just finished work, on the way hme now! Wat a tiring day with so many things to do and still have to entertain the irritating bitches! The sooner the end of the mth comes, the happier I will be! Get off my back! Stop calling me ma!!! Then still have the messy budget to sort out.. :(

anyways, I realised tt I cannot upload photos fm the iPhone to the blog yet.. Unless I host the picture on the web first then just copy the link over. Which was what prob I should have done with zx's picture! Ahhh.. But it's ok.. I learnt smt today.. Anyways, toolk a different kind of sunset picture today. Will post it when I reach hme as it's a bit dizzy blogging frm the bus and it's happily shaking!

Just looking forward to collect my salmon Yu sheng from sakes sushi later to have a yummylicious first Lo hei! Huat ah!!!!

blazing!

blinding!!

开工大吉

2010-02-17T14:36:00.002+08:00

So we would have to remain happy and cheerful today!

Pretty darn sleepy today though... and Almost fell asleep during lunch. Sheena was happily playing with my phone and the guys were talking bout the IR and gambling and S league. Boring!!! Coupled with the darn blazing sun, I was slowly closing my eyes lor.

Kinda envious of Gerard who is on leave today! But then again, it might be pretty much a waste of leave if the emplacement falls through... And I might need the leave to go meet people. And with the no time off even when you have to sacrifice your weekends to come back work shiet rule, makes today not the best day. Sigh... Really hope that he will not take away the previous time off collected. Think to be safe, better claim it soon.

Was looking at my blog on my iphone over lunch just now and I realised that I super behind time in blogging again. Booooo... Will try to fill it back up soon... :) Starting from like 2 weeks ago for the Airshow.. and my super long weekend with Bb... Think I will start from that now ba.. :)

Stole this from ZX's blog.... worth a laugh!!~

2010-02-11T14:28:00.002+08:00

Hmmmm.... tried attaching the image file but it seems wayyy too teeny weeny to read the text.

Anyways, the picture is about pens and positions... check out this link for the full sized picture instead! :)

Fucktard Thursday

2010-02-11T14:02:00.002+08:00

Fucktard is severly pissing me off mannnnnnnnnn!!!

And so is everyone else.

And I pretty much guess its my lack of sleep. :( Am having an ultra ultra grumpy day at work today and it seems that time off is not possible looking at the amount of work that I have to do. Urgh!

Prob the only thing that I can look forward to would be the facial that I can have at 8pm later! :) then afterwards will be more packing of my room for the CNY festivities. And considering the fact that I did not pack anything at all last night as I was busy drafting a complaint letter -

** bb's dad wanted to complain about his irresponsible insurance agent who did such a lousy folow up job on his policy that he asked me to write a nasty letter on his behalf to the agent's boss to give him a good one. **

- which kept me up to 3am! :( was tryng to download the new audi as well as the patcher died on me twice when it was about 95% completed. And then the IE got cranky as well and shut down the entire explorer when my dl was 85% completed. KNN!! In the end I just left it on throughout the night in an attempt to play audi with xian yuan tonight.

This morning I had to practically drag myself out of the bed with my half opened eyes. So Damn BLOODY SLEEPY!!! And a whole load of shiet work to clear today! Qiu Ling went to take some Ginko Bilbo pill which was said to boost alertness and mental capacity and stamina amongst other things and said that it really worked! And yup! It really does! At least I can open my eyes to their full size now. Hahaha..

Had an early lunch with bb at old airport road and by early I meant at 11.15am! Was damn starving since last night after skipping dinner. Then we went for prawn noodles and sugarcane juice! :) Wanted to buy some muffins back to office to much on later but they seem to have stop selling muffins during the CNY period to bake and sell more of their ridiculously expensive tiger pineapple tarts that cost $1 per pop. They do look cute though, and we did contemplated on getting a box for ee gaga for her birthday. But $15 bucks for 15 tiger pineapple tarts?!??!

Anyways, it's 3.20pm already and I still have 2 pretty pressing things to do. Shall get on with it! :) In the meanwhile, pls Bless my bb to have soon soon appointments later today and that he would be able to close some cases soon. In God we Trust! :)

We hate stupid people Wednesday

2010-02-10T15:39:00.003+08:00

Went to Ion Orchard with the interns today to get Qiuling's BB fixed. The 2 girls happily bought the same BB over the weekend and were showing off to everyone. KNS!

But it's ok... I still love my iphone! At least, the buttons are pressable and there is no mouse! and that I can control the way I scroll around the screen in a much easier method.

So anyways, no issues la.. I just went to go see see with them. We took a cab to Ion and the stupid taxi driver seems not to know his way there. Damn KNN lor! Instead of taking Nicole Highway, think he went by the Sims way there.. and we were like ???????????? huh?!?!?!@??

Then QiuLing said very loudly " AUNTIE! YOU DUNNO HOW TO GO TOWN ISSIT????" And the taxi driver argued back to say that that is the ONLY way to town. KNS! then He insisted that this way wun jam. OUR FEET! IT BLOODY JAMED and the ride cost us 10 bucks and took about 15mins. Might as well take bus rite?! DAMN ANGRY~

And there was the question about the taxi driver's gender as well. Though he looked like a guy and his name seems male, qiuling insisted that it's an auntie. WEIRD!!! But anyways, that's beside the point. Stupidity does not discriminate base on gender.

I saw the iphone covers that sister bought at the starhub shop at ION orchard!!!!! So excited! And they have both the red and white covers and its so nice and new! Wanted to buy them both but Janice was like "so ugly....." which totally killed my joy and we left the shop without getting any.

And then we went for lunch. Has wanted to have the tori Q at taka... but we decided to try out the food at the food court instead. And we realised that everything was so darn expensive! How do those people working in Ion eat?!?!

ha gao - $4 for a long

We saw the auntie pushing the push cart around and decided to get ha gao........ I tot it might be 2, max 3 but turns out to be bloody 4 bucks! But at least the dumplings are huge! and the prawns are relatively fresh. So ok la

The thing that we do not feel happy paying is the nasi padang that me and qiuling eat la! It does really look yummy on the shelf and display but the servers are kinda not trained in English. We were asking them what is some malay dish about and they kept either 1) repeating the name of the dish which was like DUH! we can read, we just want to know what meat is it! or 2) think that you want to order it and started asking if you want the dish. WA PIANG EH!!! sibei sian.... And I was standing around for 10mins and waiting for someone to take my order even though I was second in line after Qiu Ling and there were 2 servers. WTF?

Anyways, the worst of the worse part was the price...

mine......... a totally not worth $8.90

Qiu Ling's meal which amounted to 10 freaking bucks!!!

Food was so-so only some more! Oh well....... I guess it;s the location la... then we were talking bout the deco of the foodcourt, which was pretty artistic for a foodcourt and felt that we were paying for all those lor with the totally unjustified pricing of the food. KNS!

Bottom line is, dun eat at Ion Orchard. Unless it's for special occasions, or u are feeling especially generous. And please do invite me to dinner as well :)

Giving Vday a miss this year...

2010-02-10T10:57:00.002+08:00

It's just too busy, too hectic this year with Vday falling on the same day as CNY. And though most couples are celebrating on Friday, 12 Feb, I supposed bb will be too busy making pineapple tarts!

Also ok la.. at least I will get to eat tarts as well.. Anyways, in the meanwhile I still have a bit of things to do for CNY! Still need to get a few more clothes, and that is if today's floorball match wun leave me sweaty and dirty and prevent me from trying anything on. Still need to get the kueh bankit from Mark, dunno if he brought it today also.. Still need to clean out the bookshelf, cupboard and my bedside cupboard. And under my bed. Hahaha... have been pushing things under the bed for the past couple of months. Hopefully I can do all this by today.

Then tml I would need to leave office in time for my facial appointment at 8pm, then consult the feng shui book again to plan on how to shift the furniture for this year, and to put up any pictures. As usual, dun think got enough time to go down to the shop at vivo to see if there's anything that I can buy to help improve anything for this year. That's for thursday. Then I would have to start to take photos of the 'used" clothes that we will be selling on ebay. Then I would need to *try* to finish up the cross stitch. ALL by thursday! Siao Liao la.....

Need to also see when bb can help me move the clothes for the salvation army and to movie furniture, which seems like only friday or sat. Sheesh! Not sure if mum is going down to ee's place for reunion lunch on sat. Chances are, maybe yes.. which can actually give me more time to movie the stuff, and in peace too. And then I would have to do my nails, mum's nails, and to iron out all the CNY clothes.

Phew. Which such a busy schedule, how to plan for vday and buy vday present? and Bb has his own concerns as well. It seems that he has to make loads and loads of pineapple tarts for his sis and hence have to smell of butter for yesterday, today, tomorrow, and friday!

Suffocated, going to die soon

2010-02-08T15:50:00.002+08:00

Am blogging at a LAN SHOP.

I totally cannot believe this. And the best part is, I chose to take PM leave today to accompany bb after he passed his HI paper. But his dear fren had to ca;; him out to go play lan. And I knw that he wans to go play. Cos this fren has been asking for the longest time and I have been saying no to bb as I had wanted him to go concentrate on his paper.

So yeah lor...... We are here. Now what huh?
I had just wanted to leave him there and go catch a movie myself or do some shopping. But all along I have been praying to God, asking for Patience, and a big heart to forgive and forget whatever his fren had done before. I knew it was hard, and I knew what was happening. But I stil decided to go ahead with it. This was my choice. But at the door when I saw the guy, I kinda backed out. I supposed that with all things, my will is weak. sigh.............

But at least he's happy. :) Can hear him laughing happily with the fren in the com next to me. I supposed that that's enough for me. SMILE CHER SMILE!!! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Much better. And it seems like I'm back to talking to myself again. But I suppose it works wonders. Dun like this lan shop cos its so fucking noisy. Dun like the computer as I can't play audition AND maple cos they are both not patched. Dun like the keyboard cos I can't prop it up and hence typing is a bit difficult.

Luckily Qiu Ling is online to make everything all that better. :) I dun really wan bb to know that I'm feeling like *urggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!! just kill me!!!!!* but i suppose it's pretty obvious from my expression and the fact that he's able to read off my screen when he's not too busy looking at his own and laughing with his fren.

It does makes me wonder if things would be any different if I had chose option C instead. For the both of us not to meet anyone, not to go office but just stay home, stay together and spend time with each other. Just resting and talking. But I supposed that I really want him to be happy. And that I know he is now.

I'm ok. I will most definitely be ok. Cos I'm a survivor!!!! Cher FTW!

Number of days with Snow: 46

2010-02-05T16:37:00.004+08:00

Yup yup yup!!! still counting and going strong!

Snow is keeping me up till pretty late every night with all the amazingly, addictive games available for free download on the app store! Try out the Titanic one and the crazy neighbour and the Monkey Party! It's damn ke yan!

And I figured how to blog from my phone already! woohoooo!!! Have to make sure that the "edit HTML" tab is being selected first then you will be able to type in the text box. For some reason, the compose tab doesn't work.

Am still looking for more cool covers for Snow, and ohohoh... I found the white woven backing liao! Disgusting sister took it.. I found it in her room and yet she can still blatantly insist that she didn't take it. =.=

Photos are also getting chio-er by the day! Now I will tend to photoshop my photos taken on Snow before posting them on the blog.

Tml, it will another excursion for Snow! We are going to the airshow! wooohoooo... hopefully I will be able to capture some nice shots to share!

Till then, let me show you some random pics taken with Snow... :)

Home treeeeeeee!!!!! Love the green! Taken from Bb's window

gorgeous sunset, and a lone floodlight. picture taken one of the evenings when I was heading home.

Check out my new seksi pp photo!!

2010-02-05T16:15:00.002+08:00

look at my sexy face!

DAMN CHIO RITE!! Photo was taken by Tanty at the very white SSC wall. Photoshop of photo was done by moi, but appretly I forgot about the eyebrows! And it looked a wee bit messy, but I guess its ok.

And I got a new pp number! t's nt the I/C number anymore and I guess I need to spend a bit of time remembering it. But thankfully, its not too difficult. :)

Love the new photo! love the new passport! M'sia here we come! Woohoooooo! No more hold ups at the self access kiosks!

My very sumptous li chun dinner!

2010-02-05T10:29:00.003+08:00

As bb was damn busy with his homework and was unable to accompany me at all, and that his mum did not cook enough food for me as well, I decided to go home instead and have a nice dinner with mum and sis.

And as it was li chun, of cos we had to have something nice!! Think God knew of my unhappiness of not able to meet Bb and gave me the best blessings ever! Praise the Lord! Was about to go home when I saw annie as well and she offered to give me a lift back to yishun as her husband is picking her up! How nice!!! :)

At the clinic where I had earlier tried to get them to prepack the things I need so that I can just pick and go, (as the clinic is normally damn packed with people and I would have to wait a long time just to purchase repeat meds) instead of waiting for my turn to be called was unsuccessful as she was there saying that I would have to physically there before she was able to issue the meds. like HARR??? But nvm la... Because the clinic was empty! Wow!!!!! never before have such good luck happened to me!

Then met mum and sis and they were both wearing red too! HUAT AH! hahaha... had lunch at sakae sushi, at north point..

cutesy frog! makes me think of Debora!

katsu curry don

Mum said that she was very full and didn't wanted to order anything. Me and sis suspects that she's not used to eating jap food.. Hence, we ordered 2 rice dishes to share amongst ourselves, amongst other side dishes...

unagi don.. looks damn good huh? :)

we had chawamushi for each of us.. and mum din eat clean!!!! wahhh... wat a waste of egg! But of cos, we din say her... wait she attitude on us again then we would have to spend time to hong her again...

ginara, or smt like that.... it's fish soup... with pretty long bones! Love the sweet soup.. :)

Sister's california roll... looks a bit like rabbit food if you ask me...

The tako sushi that I love to eat! Then sis was saying get so much, sure cannot finish de... and stopped me from getting any more sushi, and the salmon sashimi..

And she was right. The 3 of us were full to the brim and could not finish the rice for the 2 dons.

After dinner, we went shopping. Bought mum a red top and bought a few BAGS of CNY cookies. But it's ok... it's a blessing to Give. :) and at least I know that I spent the li chun spending money on my family, buying cookies for my Ees, and buying clothes for mum. So the 200+ bucks spent in an hour is worth it de.....

cookies courtesy of cher! do come over to my place to try them all for CNY! :)

Now all I'm left to buy would be the cornflakes cookies, the hei bi hiam and the kueh lapis! Which will be bought from garden and m'sia respectively! Yay! It seems that we are pretty much on track!

Spent the night making lanterns for both bb's mum and Grace.. and then I realised that I cannot complete it unless I buy the tassels.. Which I will be going to in about 10mins time. go pick up my passport first then see if the shops there have any one selling CNY deco. :)

So excited.. I finally have the CNY spirit le! Yay! and everything is going so well.. hopefully this will be a good year! To success!

Time for good news Thursday!

2010-02-04T14:38:00.004+08:00

Pretty sleepy today.. think I ate a little wee bit too much during lunch. Hahaha

Today is li chun! Which means 1st day of spring! Are you wearing a bit of red for good luck for the tiger year? :) later still need to go bank in money. Gerard suddenly brought up this point and asked if we would like to buy 4D! hahaha... cos everything have to be done today. Agnes was then going round asking people for money - as if you receive money today, it means that for the rest of the year you would be able to receive money! Hence need to bank in money and not withdraw today! makes sense? :)

Just now too, Para and Agnes were deliberating about whether to get the mio tv anot. Obviously Para wans to get it just to watch soccer and was trying to find ways to justify paying an additional $26 bucks just to watch one channel. *roll eyes* guys..... luckily xiami is not a uber soccer fan and therefore skip the whole soccer mess. Agnes told para to go watch at the coffeeshops instead. Save money, solve all problems. So true!

Today also need to eat good food.. seafood and all that, cos if you get to have good food, it means that the rest of the year you would be well to do! And then para starred at Gerard as he had vegetarian lunch today. And all of us gave him money to buy the 5mil toto! Hope got heng cai! hahahaha... :)

Bought 2 muffins for bb during lunch -

dual chocolate chip and banana

Was planning to have dinner with him, but that looks like highly impossible now that he said that he has loads to do and wun be able to accompany me... :( Prob will just be meeting him to pass him the foodie ba.... :( :( :( :( :( :(

Sheena came too and gave me food! This is utterly yummy!!! Though I dunno what they are. She refused to tell me what are they made off! I hope they still got sell... if so, I will get a bottle too!

the mysterious cookies. they taste very light and like cheese, but sheena said its not. hmmm

Mark also came by with food! Nice! everyone is feeding me today! :) and he's taking orders for his fren's pineapple tarts! Am ordering a bottle of kueh bankit from him since Karen has already stopped taking orders. BOOOOOOOOO... am still deciding on the pineapple tarts la.....

Took a few packets of ang bao packets from grace! Time to make lanterns tonight! Watch for photos! :)

Funny picture taken yesterday....

2010-02-04T10:28:00.002+08:00

Saw this guy on the bus on my way home from work yesteday and I was like. WAH!!! same colour shirt as Bb! So I took a picture of it and sent it to him, saying that the APNN bus driver has the exact colour shirt as him!

Damn funny la! And I supposed that I'm the only one who will go do such things... hahaha

And Bb's reply was just "thanks ahh..."

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!

Swamped up Wednesday

2010-02-03T11:33:00.003+08:00

My head is spinning from the budget questions carol is asking me with... Think she wans to check on the amount of $$ her DM has but I just cannot think straight... urghhhhh... Every year the budget gives me headache.. sigh :(

Bb wore his new shirt out today... and looked pretty much like a surgeon at SGH. HAHAHAHA... or like a SBS driver, just that their green is not as striking. This photo has been a weeee bit touched up, and it seems like the green is emitting a glow! *briiiiiing!* Like a firefly...

the model for the men's spring 10 collection - xiami

Can see his tiny waist from this photo.. :) not bad though! and I have to give him credit for the very nicely match up with the tie. Nice length too... Good job darling! Hope your operation go smooth today!

Toilet sound blocker

2010-02-03T11:17:00.004+08:00

Was looking through my emails when I came across this weird product - it's called a toilet sound blocker, to block out what other sounds that you make in the toilet. Like huh??!??!?!

It seems that when u press a button, the little device will make toilet flushing sounds to cover conversations and which ever noise that you might make in a toilet cubicle.

Comes in 3 colours and retails for USD $19.

Item can be bought here

Damn tired Tuesday

2010-02-02T18:04:00.003+08:00

Is super drained today and would like the day to end quickly for me to go home and rest.

And it does not help matters with darling having training and tutorial the whole day, and I'm unable to call him for a chat.. :(

**think bb and me got xin li you xin, he called me after I finish typing that sentence. hahaha... he said that he felt it on his radar that I was missing him badly, that's why he called me. awww**

Loads of work to do... and many many calls to make. and I think I'm making slow progress.. sigh.. But at least I cleared the newspapers and put up the CNY deco le.. That's the whole point of wearing jeans today actually. Hahaha

Mc Griddles makes me happy in the morning!

Was supper hungry by 10.30am this morning and decided to go for macs.... yummylicious man!! Think I was just super hungry! And look, now my photos are getting damn chio by the day... it's really the photoshop app in the iphone but it also requires skill to get the exact effect! hahaha... Will upload more photos from yesterday when I get home la.........

So anyways, had breakfast, so skipped lunch. Brought my laptop to playroom, supposed to play maple but the internet connection simply refused to let me go in. Which was weird! The last time when I brought it to office and tested on mich's lan cable, I was able to log into the game.. So I kept trying until I fell asleep.... I was THAT tired man! But still, ultimately cannot la.... then I tried on Wesley's cable and I got in.. HMmmmmmmm.. so my conclusion would be that I would only be able to access from the lan cables at our desks and not in the meeting rooms. Yupppp.. So I will try to mu lung pq on someone's lan cable tml la! :)

Called swensens too to check the status of my gift vouchers, and it's on the way! Should be able to receive it by either this week or next week, just in time to use it to buy cookies! :) and I called and bugged ICA as well on the status of my passport. And they said that I was able to collect it on friday.... Niceeeee!

K la... it's going to be 7pm soon, and I'm getting slightly hungry... Just need to make another call and I should be able to go off and enjoy my krik krik noodles and read my feng shui book. Sheeeesh! 2 weeks left to CNY and still a whole of things not done yet. The most pressing being cleaning out my room, and shifting the furniture! Jiayous!!!

Jiayous to Bb too as his days gets progressively busier with so so so many trainings and roadshows and cold callings. Hopefully he will be able to manage his time, as well as our time together. And hopefully I can get something better soon..

The missing photo

2010-02-01T11:33:00.001+08:00

I was on the bus to work this morning and then I realised that I don't remember captioning the photo of Mark's Swedish meatballs. Which it totally unacceptable!

Just take a look at it! Looks utterly wonderful and the potato tastes very very nice and yummy as well.. meatballs, so so only.. Go try it. It's at Fika Cafe, Arab street.

Swedish meatballs......... simply yummylicious!

And now I can take my buses in peace. :)

outdated Christmas 09

2010-01-31T22:12:00.006+08:00

The start of many outdated posts which I have the time to blog and post now as Bb is still not back from dinner. :)

Am getting a bit lazy, as I'm multi-tasking, blogging, uploading photos here, sorting out photos in the C drive and uploading them on FB. And they say that multi-tasking is not good. Check out the article here!
And oh yeahh.... surfing for info as well.... hahahha

my desk on christmas eve!!! pressie galore! :)

the very retro gift from wesley..... sweet!

on our way to NUH

Bb came to pick me up from work as I was carry 2 huge bags of gifts... and then he told me that we were supposed to go down to NUH as his brother locked himself out of the van and we would have to go down to pass him the spare key... so off we go....

bb looking very festive! :)

After NUH, we headed down to marina for lunch as well as to watch movies as sis has the movie card that is *supposedly* expiring today, but still have 6 tickets left inside. But when bb tried to buy tickets, the counter staff told him that it was already expired! Sheeeeshhh... So in the end, we decided to shop around the area.

Bb wanted to go down to the science centre for the body show, but we both felt that it was too far away, just being lazy la... so we went to MOF for a tea break instead and decided to head home to give out the pressies to the kids!

Christmas time is here!

Looking at their faces, its really a joy to Give. :)

bb playing with zhuan wen's toy car. look! it has lights too! :)

Now I compare the photos that I took then and those photos now, really makes alot of difference.. well, it shows that I'm actively using the many apps available in the itunes store! and honing my photoshop skills. Hahahaha

The net day, we went down to EE's place for the Christmas lunch

beautiful fruit platter that only ee nana could have made. :)

sumptuous lunch!

Mum made the ngoih hiam, ee gaga made everything else. Later on, there were crabs and turkey and loads of food!

bb helping to cut up the turkey.... thanks for helping darling!

baby santa X

the yum yum ice cream log cake courtesy of moi!

The log cake was so damn delicious that me, bb and felicia went back for 2nd and 3rd helpings!

us sharing a sweet moment with bb's new doggy

taken by ee nana's new maid. TOTALLY CMI

After lunch and presents opening, I was contemplating to go back with bb to spend some alone time with him, but then again, it's christmas and christmas is a time for family, we decided to go home separately.. Afterall, I would be meeting him again the next day! So no biggy.....

And that's how I spent my xmas 09! :)

Sundays at home

2010-01-31T21:05:00.004+08:00

Did not get to go down to Bb's place today as I suddenly realised that it's Sis's birthday tomorrow.

So I asked her if she's having dinner with us *fingers crossed* and she said yes. Booooooo... But of cos, sis is more impt and comes first, so I called baby to tell him that I won't be coming down afterall. Oh well....... :(

In the meanwhile, I had wanted to complete the cross stitch but ended up downloading and playing iphone apps instead. HAHAHA.. it always happens! And maple after that. So, nope, din do cross stitch again.

Then it's dinner time. Mum is kp-ing again about how it's 2 weeks to CNY and we still haven't bought a single food item or cookies to put at home, blah blah blah..... and so sis humoured her and brought her to cold storage, which I think she wanted to buy the whole outlet. But I guess we kept telling her this no need to buy, that I will buy separately and she got pissed. And started kp-ing again..... *wah lao!!!!!* this time say what, everything dun let her buy, then we also never buy, good la... CNY everyone come to our place nothing to eat!!!! *rolls eyes*

That's what I have to live with!!!!!! But I guess I have to quickly get a move on when my passport is ready. Go m'sia to get all the Season and Lavender cookies and cakes. Then maybe my ears can have some peace.

Had dinner at Thai express, when they just had to have some noisy performance.. think it was lion dance or something. So everyone crowded around the stage and on lvls 2 & 3, and made shopping and walking very difficult. Naturally, we chose to go home. Which turned out to be pretty early! The sky was still bright when we left NP, which was something that we did not get to see in a long time le. Sis said it was only 7++pm as we left house earlier today. I privately think it was really the lion dance.. Good also la.. Every week we shop there, we spend alot of money.. NP is earning alot from our family man!

my black pepper soft shell crab glass noodles

glutinous rice with mango.... damn filling!

And oh... I bought my feng shui book already! Bb, its time we move furniture again! hahaha.. Bb called me while he was waiting for their dinner orders to be taken. Apparently, Jonathan was in a foul mood as he was hungry... (they couldn't get a parking lot earlier on) and throwing tantrums.. and the kids were making hell lot of noise over the phone that secretly, I was pretty glad I wasn't there. At least, mum stopped complaining and I had food in my tummy and free time to do whatever I wanted. Poor Bb.... But after dinner, he went shopping too! And can call and send me MMS to ask me to help him choose shirts. hahaha... that's pretty cute.. :) the rest of the family were at some playground, which was pretty typical...

Well, at least he has started buying his CNY clothes le. That should also stop HIS mum from kp-ing. :)

Day turned wrong turned right again

2010-01-30T21:12:00.004+08:00

Bb stayed over last night :)

He had to go down to AMK this morning to do some cold calling, which turned out to be approaching people on the streets. And I was supposed to go down to tiong bahru for lunch with the Ees. And we were supposed to meet up after everything, and hang out.. do some shopping or something.

But we chatted till pretty late then played on our iphones, and din get much sleep. This morning I was super puffy eyed, and still woke up at 7.30am to ask bb to wake up to go AMK. but obviously he went to wash face, brush teeth and came back to lie beside me. hahahaha

And we nua-ed till about 9am before he finally got up and go. And by then I was still very tired and did not want to go for lunch anymore. I heard mum coming into my room at about 9.40am to shut windows and all but I was just too tired to open my eyes and show any signs of getting up. So in the end I did not go for lunch and stayed home to do some stuff instead and to slp a bit more.

When it's about time for lunch, I got ready and left the house and thankfully decided to give bb a call instead of my original plan of going straight to AMK to surprise him. Cos he was bloody not at AMK!!! He had left AMK and was already at the office at Alexander and he had forgotten to tell me again.

Was pretty pissed mad. So lunch was off it seems as he said he needed another hour or two. It was about 1pm then. So I was like FINE. He was pretty apologetic, so that kinda douse my anger a bit. And said why dun we meet up after he's done, and that he will plan everything and to make up to me. So ok.... I just head back home. LL what!!!!!

And then he called again.

Which I tot he was already done with his stuff. BUT NOOOOOOOOO... he called to say that he had to attend some training... to play a game! I was totally like.... WTF!!!! and the best part was that the training will take wat? 4 hours?

Sigh....

But what can I do right? So I continued to LL lor.. and waited and waited.. till about 4+ when it finally all ended and he headed back home, got the car then came back down to yishun to find me for dinner. By that time I was totally sian (by both staying at home the whole day and listening to mum kpkb) and pretty hungry for not eating and drinking the whole day.

He brought me to have the chong pang nasi lemek.. which was yum yum!! We din take photos of it as we were both damn hungry... It seems that to accompany me, bb only had 2 pieces of bread for the whole day for breakfast and lunch.. so poor thing also..

After dinner, we drove down to Sembawang Park and spent some quiet moments there before heading home again. It will be Bb's mum's *chinese* birthday celebration dinner tml at IMM and we were contemplating the best way for accommodation wise. In the end, it was decided that I will stay home, and help mum do up the decorations tml morning then in the afternoon I will go to bb's place to get ready for dinner.

sunset at sembawang park, 30 jan 2010

lomo-ed pic of bb and sunset.. the effect is quite alluring :)

darkening skies with textured clouds

us enjoying each other's company on a beautiful saturday evening

And probably that's how the bad day turned good.. :) Not to mention about the fact that bb still accompanied me maple when he got home. These simple constant acts of love do show me how much I mean to you. And I thank you for them.

Time to skip lunch Thursday

2010-01-28T13:10:00.003+08:00

Yippeee!!! It's Thursday already! Can't wait for the weekend to come! I cannot get ee to sew the cushion for me this Sat already. Damn!!! It took me an hour to do 80% of the backstitch for one corner of the flowers, and only 2 corners of the flowers are sewn on. Sheeeesh! I just managed to convince Bb to help me redo the 3rd corner which I screwed up badly and he agreed! super sweet of him! muacks! (which he would probably take the whole day doing that la).

So judging at our timeline, think bee can only get her gift after CNY. sigh... but better late than never rite?

Bb has to go down to AMk this sat to do some cold calling, hence would nt be able to go down for lunch.. mum asked me nt to keep asking him go too... cos she say dua ee is the one paying all the time and she feels paiseh. Not that bb eats alot what! although he's pretty high maintenance.. he eats like a snail. Eat very little but can take many many meals/snacks a day. Super Tong Jiak! So I suppose we will most prob be going shopping this weekend ba.. I still wanna make a trip down to M'sia to get some stuff. Just hope that we have enough time to do everything. Sheesh! CNY is always such a rush period!

Sarah commented that she and Patrick should be able to get a choice of their flats le for the punggol BTO. good for them! and it makes me wanna apply for a flat too lei! But still can't... :( cos I know that firstly, the time is nt right yet, and secondly, we do not have the means to pay for it. YET. until I get a better job... (pls pls pls hire me!!!) and until he passes his HI paper this friday and start getting customers... (pls pls pls help us God!) But then again, even with financial ability, we might not have the commitment.. see how la.... still long way to go.. I'm ONLY 25 this year! Still have 3 more years to plan and prepare and for any change of minds. :)

Been getting pretty good reviews and feedback about the permed hair.. :) but I shall not post a pic up just as yet... quite shy la... hahahahaha!!!!! So glad about it. Thank you God for watching over me. This is such a good deal! To have a cheap and nice hair done up for the CNY this year!
Next would be to have the bloody determination to exercise and to keep up with the skincare and dental care that I said I would.

I really really want to get back into shape. For myself, and for bb. I really want to take care of my skin to be able to retain my youthful looks in 10years time. I really want to take care of my teeth too to still have teeth in 30 years time.

And my eyes too.... which is why I'm still considering if I should make that pair of transition lens. hmmm.... decisions decisions.. and alot of needed self reflection and budget planning. urghhhhhh

* I can so see the randomness of this blog post. hahahahha... I type as I think! *

V day is coming too! So far still zero plans... wonder if bb has any plans for me...... I so hope that V day comes quickly! cos it will mean that tiger year is here! which will marks the end of my suay year and the start of the huat year for me!!! Although I still dun have the astrology book to confirm that next year is a huat year, I'm damn very sure that any year will be good as long as you dun fan tai shui!

Probably that's the reason why I still haven't managed to get a new job! But look at doug! How come he can get a good offer?! He's a cow too man! kns!!!!!

I think I will upload loads of pics now and clear some blog backlog.... :)

Damn busy, but also damn bored at work!

2010-01-27T17:07:00.004+08:00

So I'm renewing my passport now la... after spending about 20mins this morning looking like an idiot with Tanty outside the west wing meeting rooms and grinning like there's tomorrow. And she kept saying take again take again.. and people who walked past just looked on at her taking mug shots of me.

So paiseh!!!!

And guess what, my stupid browser is not java enabled and I cannot complete the whole bloody process. Damn it!!!

Also, the ultra filling lunch today did not help matters! Super love the place though.. take a look! it's called fika cafe, located on arab street.

Just look at the photos!

love the moose! so swedish!

menus - photo had been lomofied

even their salt, pepper, sugar and reserved tags are uber cute!

deco... it looks like it's christmas everyday here!

a cosy corner for 2

a teapot full of swedish strawberry tea!

carol's pasta salad.. looks yummy!

my creamy leek and mushroom pasta.. slurp!

some apple crumble cake that was wayyyy too sweet for my liking

brownie with ice cream which everyone wants a bit of! we had to order a second helping of it!

It's 6pm already! Going home soon.... yay.. then I can start to work on the cross stitch again haha, so that I can really bring it down to ee's place to get it sewn!

Lame humor in the morning

2010-01-21T12:29:00.003+08:00

Not sure if the picture is clear enough for you to read the text on the lid of the cup.. but the joke was totally lame!

The bright and cheery design of the clown did brighten up my day though... :)

Had lunch despite having bread for breakfast, and I will be having dinner with eve and sheena. Sheeeesh!!! Like that how to lose weight? I really need to have more determination and discipline!

I think I will just have starters for dinner later.. or snacks.. or simply sashimi or a salad. See how ba.. And the plan that I had wanted to undertake is not working well too huh... I had wanted to limit myself to $1 per day, to kill many many birds at the same time.. Not only I can cut down the amt of $ spent on food, I can also force myself not to have food, which might lead to some weight loss. Also, the money saved from food will then be donated to the poor people in Haiti. But my plan seems to be failing! Yesterday i spent $14 on macs, and today is $8.50 on ayam peyneh.. how like that??

And then tml is the simply ballroom play, which means hat I most likely would have dinner with sheena just before the play. Unless I can convince her to eat alone and then I will just have the powder. Which reminds me that I have to go to bb's house and check all the expiry dates on the bottles, and to try to finish they all before the expiry date before it goes bad.

JIA YOU CHER!!!!! and yes! To drink more water everyday too!! I really do hope that I can keep up to my own expectations. :)

looks yummy huh! the chili is damn hot la... and dom can eat it and still feel nothing. Best!

Revenge on the Cat

2010-01-20T21:31:00.003+08:00

Whahahaha...

We finally got our chance, and it was payback time for the puss who fucking dared to shiet outside my door.

Last night bb sent me home from his place and there it was waiting only at lvl 1.. so I told b that we suspected this was the asshole cat that pooped at our door. But we just ignored it and climbed up the stairs, and the animal followed too.... and turned in into it's house at lvl 2. Good.

But then when I started opening the door to my place, I noticed a furry head peeking out at us from behind the wall. And that was when we are very very very sure that its him.

And we we filled up the supersoaker gun tt sis bought a long time ago with water and squirted water at it! whahahhaa... quite funny! then and we chased it all the way down to lvl 1 and then it disappeared.

Revenged!!!!!!

Told bb that he should go check his car is alright... cos you will never know, maybe its smart enough to know where u come from and maybe scratch your car! or shiet infront of your car door. Take that back you cat!! whahaha

Why the day still haven't end Wednesday?

2010-01-20T16:56:00.002+08:00

Utterly sleepy and tired. And I think it's highly and everything to do with lunch just now. Was feeling emo and bloated and didn't wanted to have lunch and bb was craving for macs, so he came over and had macs and gave me his home cooked lunch instead. yums!

But while I was buying food for him, I happened to get one for myself as well, which will be eaten for dinner later. Amid the sian-ness and alot of looking at figures (everyone is asking for money! sigh...). Think I would want to sleep early today. But I would surf the net for a while first and upload a few things before sleeping.. I REALLY REALLY hope that something good comes soon.

Bb is unable to sell the girl house insurance unless he passes his HI. So he is looking thru his books, and trying to see if he's able to crap all the info into his head by Monday for the paper. Hopefully he can, hopefully he passes on first attempt, hopefully he gets to close the deal. But then, his ji hong fren would be damn gleeful (cos he referred the contact) and would prob ask him out to drink. Then they would get piss drunk and call girls. Grrrrrrrrrr.....

Really dun like the fren. Yesterday I found girls photos in his phone, but not going to go there. too tiring le.

The next 2 week should be pretty exciting! Am meeting eve and sheena for dinner tml, friday we will be going to simply ballroom, weekend i would have to continue doing the cushion, next tues I will be going to some compulsory movie night event. First time I heard of a compulsory movie event. after working hours somemore. And those who dun wan to go have to provide reasons to him. WTF!!!! Now he wans to take control of our lives after working hours too huh? Go eat shiet la!!

Can tell that I'm pretty upset with useless, fucked up people. Get a life man!!!

Totally quiet Tuesday!

2010-01-19T12:00:00.004+08:00

Nice to have peace and quiet at times! :)

But dun worry dun worry, not really eating snake yet... Still replaying emails and pushing some fatass to move to do work. After lunch I really would need to finish up the budget spreadsheet for nov and *hopefully* for dec too, for me to consolidate all the pesky FAC requests for dec and jan. Phew... that sounds pretty busy for the next 2 days huh.. Work stuff la..

Am meeting bb later for lunch! He went down to AIA this morning to start on his first case. Hope that everything will be smooth and ok..

***

KNS!!! I don't really like to talk to ah nehs with their thick and strong ah neh accents over the phone.. especially when u are trying to sell me a service that I DON'T BLOODY NEED! dunno if he gt my number SINGOV or the recep put him thru me de. Whatever it is. pls dun call me back!!!!!

And post some embarrassing photos of Felicia for her frens to see! HAHAHAHA

Days with Snow: 29

2010-01-18T10:46:00.002+08:00

Bu Zi Bu Jue, it's been a mth since I had snow le!

Time flies man!

So far, I have had my fair share of problems and proud moments with Snow. Things being like the huge problem that I have had with phone calls when callers are unable to hear me after 50seconds till 1.5mins.. that was damn damn damn frustrating! But I had since got her changed and she was given a new life (actually a new set was given to me.... :) ) and then I had needed to go restore the apps and stuff that I had previously. Which wasn't too much of a trouble. This new set works fine.. thankfully! I ddun think i can stand sitting at the starhub svc centre for 2 hours looking at the electronic boards waiting for the numbers to jump :)

The battery life is still okok. It really depends on usage.. but it heats up a little easily at times, when I'm using it to play games or listen to the radio.

Oh yes.... radio. :) after the failure mediacorp radio app - which could only allow listeners to tune in to 938 and capital 950, I managed to chance upon laylio! Another radio app that surprise surprise!! is able to receive class 95, 987, 933 and one more chinese station (which i obviously dun even bother looking at.) yippeeeeeeee!

So now I can listen to the radio on my iphone too! And the good thing is that this app uses the internet connection to listen to (internet) radio, there is reception for short periods underground
too! amazing! But also as it's using the net, there are times where the app has to keep buffering for the song.. so it gets interrupted. Still a little retarded actually. sometimes, it doesn't work! which is pretty frustrating... and that's when I fall back on itunes. Which in overall is not too bad as I do get a mix of songs, and not always listening to the small limited database in my phone.

Still nt too much of games apps. Have not been downloading anything recently actually. Was wayyy too busy rushing for the cross stitch which btw, we did not managed to complete... :(
And I believe that my phone now has more lifestyle apps like photoshop, dictionary, and to do lists, more than games. not bad not bad! We shall see how it goes. Anyways, the one and most favourited game I play on snow is just MJ fairyland. HAHA.. so much so that I almost missed my stop today.. but thankfully for my super fast reflexes, I was able to dash out of the doors in time. whahahaha :)

The only thing now that I still upset and cannot get over is the fact tt i cannot blog on my iphone. STILL. not that I tried to post anything. actually, I had wanted to try again, but then my train had to go into the tunnel and cut off the internet access and it was taking its bloody own sweet time to load the page that I just totally gave up trying. And play MJ fairyland instead. Geezzz..

I shall try it later after I post this.. hmmmm..

And ohh..... I think i am unable to upload multiple photos up to FB at the same time. Which is also ma fan and would only allow me to do so when I'm home. Blah!

1st mth anniversary - and counting!

Hope Snow is loving her mirror screen protector!

PS: oh yeah! i dun like the fact tt the screen gets dirty and oily so easily! Even though it's from my face... but when I touch my face, I dun find it oily or dirty ma!!!! weird!

Do shop for more stuff for snow! :)

Number of days with Snow: 17

2010-01-04T17:45:00.003+08:00

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

2009-12-23T09:05:00.001+08:00

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

2009-12-21T12:42:00.003+08:00

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

2009-12-20T01:06:00.003+08:00

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

2009-12-15T19:37:00.003+08:00

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)

2009-12-14T17:06:00.003+08:00

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. Hahahaha

Anyways, 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!

Boo boo news of the day

2009-12-14T16:30:00.002+08:00

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*

Bb's Bday Bash

2009-12-14T12:21:00.005+08:00

His birthday was on Saturday, 12 Dec, the same date as Kennon's wedding.

And there were still no plans even on Friday. One of the last minute stuff that I've planned. But it's all mainly because of his very much mixed up schedule! His coffee bean work was on - off - then on again. And there was some sort of AIA training that was off - on - off again. Geez!!!! He needs to keep his schedule better man!

Ultimately, at the stroke of midnight, when his training was off, he decided to go back to work at coffee bean, and stick to his original schedule, despite it being his birthday as we din have the heart to let his poor colleague work from 7am all the way till 3pm. And there was the last minute Cheryl please cover duty sms as Wes had forgotten that he was down for TS website update duty on Saturday evening. So I had to work from 3pm -9pm (it was 11.15pm to be exact) as well, which was the exact same time as what bb worked.

Hence, my plans with sheau lih to go down with a cake and surprise him didn't happened. Sher went down herself though, (as she was already down for the airport to pick her fren up) and did pass him a slice of cake.. so sweet of her to do it for him. :)

Finally met him at 12.05am the next day to go out for supper at Bedok 85 market with our sumptuous supper of stingray, ba chor mee, chicken wing and sugarcane juice! We were so damn hungry that we finished everything and was complaining bout bloated stomachs after that.

On Sunday morning, we woke up pretty early and went down to the Tamiya shop at Paya Lebar and Bb chose some SLK merce model as his bday gift. Think he was looking for some Lambo model but the shop didn't have it there. They have it at Lego though, but he found it fake - so, yup, the merce it shall be!

Then we headed back home to dress up, and had a bit of cake - courtesy of sheau lih! Thanks! it was really yummy! And we have photos to prove it! haha

the yummy slice of cake!

we all love cake! That was printed on the cute box!

yay! it's my birthday!

No no bb..... that's not edible!!

have a bite of the yummy coffee chocolate cake instead!

After that, we went to Suntec instead for lunch and a sport of Christmas shopping. Had lunch at Kushin-bo. There wasn't a queue which was thankful as I did not make any reservations. Not that I was expecting a queue for lunch anyways. And we started our feast! Bb had been talking about kushinbo for a long time and the last time we came by to eat was years and years ago. so yups..

The food was pretty normal, no snow crabs though! Think it's because it's lunch time or something, kns! And the soft shell crab tempura was cold, not crispy and a bit soggy. urgh! The salmon sashimi wasn't entirely fresh too. Bb didn't like the green tea ice cream, but I found it ok. He loved the desert selection, and I liked the chawamushi and soup selection. Overall pretty yummy and damn filling!

Only took pictures of this - doshi mushi, which is some seafood soup. It's damn nourishing lor!

looking very cute in a little teapot with the teacup as its lid

inside the teapot - prawn, ginkgo nut, mushroom. damn pu!

the colour of the seafood soup looked like tea though

Halfway though lunch, bb came back with some toys'r'us catalog, and wanted to drop by later to buy toys. And so we did - after I puked from WAYYYYYY over eating, and ordering the log cake for the Christmas party (like finally!!!!).

Saw the stage for the sponge bob performance later at 4pm! actually bb wanted to watch the show, but as the time then was only 3.40pm, it would be really stupid to stand around and wait. So we just proceed on to Toys'r'us, and spent a damn long time there!

who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

He (who else huh?) was looking at the transformers (boys... *rolls eyes*) for a looooooooong time, contemplating if he should buy some bumblebee model. That is, until the mad Christmas crowd came and start grabbing all the boxes - leaving the one in his hands the only piece of bumblebee that he started guarding it with his life, and decided that yes! he will buy it! sighhhhhh........

I honestly think it's a waste of $55.90!!! But no matter, I get to play as well. He wanted to get toys for me too! some pottery thing that I have been looking at for some time already le, and a playdoh set. But honestly, firstly, we dun have that much time to play with them! and secondly, i find it a wee bit waste of money to spend it on such things man!! Get me a wii instead, or an iphone la... I'm sure i will be equally or even more entertained by that! Hahaha

the spongebob performance!

We came out of the store at 4.20pm, and the performance is in full swing! super cute to see them dance! hahahaha... I love spongebob :) And then we collected my free spongebob tote bag! Which I confessed to bb afterwards was the main reason why we are eating at suntec was because i need to chalk up to $120 to get the free tote bag. And then it was is turn to roll eyes! KNS!!!!

spongebob and me!

After all that shopping, which we obviously did not do any for Christmas, we had to head down to YCK for his sister to pick us up for dinner at seletar country club. Dinner was okok only. The kids had fun though! Swimming, playing golf and throwing balls in the play area.

For me, I just relaxed on the massager in the changing room and took amazing photos of the golf course. Maybe next time can consider swimming there, and playing with the kids. Must remember not to wear skirts there! :)

amazing greeny!

nice picture of bb!

little miss sunshine yeah? :)

Must update the SEA Games results again Monday

2009-12-14T12:10:00.002+08:00

1 word - SIAN!

And it really doesn't help that the Internet is painfully slow. In fact, it's just not happening! the Laos page is blank! Which means I cannot get even a single result out. Blah. Wat a waste of time - not! Cos it gives me time to update my blog, to make up for lost time. In fact, now till HE manages to get a new D to come in, we have all the time in the world.

Happy Holidays man!

And I realise that Christmas is next week. And I still have not really started on Christmas shopping. And Felicia's birthday is this Saturday. And I'm meeting Jem and Bee on Sunday to pass them they yet to be purchased presents. Excellent!

Bee just informed that her ROM date is fixed on the 17th Jan 2010, a Sunday. Which kinda leaves them with only a month to get ready everything. Tough job man! They they are rushing to secure a venue and solemniser, then hopefully the rest will just slowly fall in place. It will be another busy month, even after SEA Games and Christmas!

The day we keep refreshing our hotmails

2009-12-03T18:32:00.002+08:00

3 Dec!!!!!

Results day for the Christmas Tree Deco competition.

But it's 6.40pm now and still no email, no call. So I guess we didn't make the cut. :(

oh well......

Guess the siting, wishing, waiting did not work after all...

(new) Moon Monday

2009-12-01T12:54:00.004+08:00

Utterly busy busy day yesterday with work and morons (like what Wes always calls them), that I did not manage to leave work on time, and had to take a cab down to shaw lido to watch new moon with wilfred.

And the taxi driver drove this utter long way, to avoid ERPs and I was in the cab for about 30mins. hmmmmmmm... And the cab fare came up to $15 whooping bucks.

Grrrrr.... Which would be more than the cost of my movie ticket! Luckily, thanks to wil's lobang, the ticket was free. If nt I think I would just skip it *grrrrrrr*

Movie was nice! Taylor Launet has amazingly handsome with gorgeous 6 packs!!! And Robert Patterson was equally good looking, though a bit skinny and a bit hairy. HAHAHAHAHA

The movie was about 2.5hours long, and worth every minute. :) I think it was way better than the first and they stay very close to the book. Though I have always imagine alice to be shorter and more pixie like. Jane is gorgeous too. Probably she looked the closest to how I imagine the characters to be like.

After the movie, we went to walk around, to look for food. I had wanted to have Long John, but someone was saying something about the last time we went out together also ate long john... then wanted to have something different. But at 9.30pm, there aren't many choices lor!

We went to Ion Orchard, and saw their beautiful deco -

tall tall 6 stories christmas tree!

with a teeny weeny wil

it seems that people can go inside the tree and this is what they will get to see. totally, totally beautiful!!!

then we saw the lego map of Singapore - for the we are one project. very nicely done!! just that the placement of the icons a bit salah...

In the end, we went to Xin Wang to eat, as they are opened till 1am, and we have the member card too.. We had:

some pork papaya milk main which we shared

and some dim sum!

The papaya milk soup things tasted very nice and unique! It was something that I have never tried before, and wil was going on about this is one of their signature dishes and how can I not have tried it even after being their member shiet. So yeahhh, we gave it a try and I totally love it!

The only thing was, the pork was too tough and made it pretty difficult to cut. But the soup is yums! Making it my new favourite dish at xin wang now! :P

Our christmas tree submission!

2009-11-29T23:17:00.006+08:00

I came across this competition on GV's webby and thought that we could give it a shot! Hence me, xiami, sheau lih, winston, jings and shu hui, all friends made from the KK trip decided to enter an entry!

Our theme is plastic bags and here are some of the ornaments that I've created (and we are going to use!) for the tree!

*I hope that my fellow competitors will not come across my blog, or nt our fantastic idea will be copied!!!!*

And I will be in deep shiet! But our idea is so nice and so gorgeous that I cannot help but to share it with people!

xmas sock!

a ribbon made out of harvey norman plastic bag + recycled paper

makes a nice hair clip too!!! :) Any takers for $3.90?

xmas tree party hat!

mr bean plastic bag flowers!

cute snowman from my best vision optics plastic bag!

from a plastic file!

snowflake!

an angel! with no hair! hahahaha

the final product of how our tree will look like if we are selected as one of the finalist!

So amazing, am so pleased that I still remember how to use the photoshop programme after so many so many years after graduating from school! All ornaments were hand made by me, same for the photography. then after tt i edited out the backgrounds, pretty decent huh, though not perfect! :) Then i researched for the stats of plastic bags in Sg and in the world.

Winston was the one who put together everything! Tml I shall fill up the form and send it in. And then we will see what God has in store for us. :)

MJ's farewell and Eve's catch up dinner

2009-11-29T21:47:00.003+08:00

You can tell people are lazy when they combine blog posts - and this is an excellent example! Paiseh to both MJ and Eve... but my fingers are getting a little numb from playing icy tower - the new jumping game that i discovered on FB. haha.. and there are still so many photos unpublished yet in my blog..... so yup... :)

Anyways, you both know that I love you right, and I'm sure that you babes won't want my eyes to be too tired too from looking at my computer screen all afternoon till now! Also, I should really continue to read the picture bible that I borrowed from xiami to be able to return back to him on Friday.

So anyways, on MJ's last day at work, Boss got me to get her a cake - somewhat as a mini office celebration as she did not join us for MJ's farewell lunch. I bought it from Jack's Place - some yummylicious banana chocolate cake. It's not too bad, but I still swear by awfully chocolate's banana chocolate. It's still the yummiest by far. Maybe for Bb's birthday i can get a cake from there for him. Which reminds me. I need to start planning! And for sheau lih's bday as well...

Okok... back to the topic. So we were all gathered outside Boss's room thinking of how to go into MJ's room (just 2 doors away) to surprise her, and naturally we were quite loud and when we went into MJ's room we had this impression that she heard us afterall, but she just pretended to be wow-ed only. =.=

an excited MJ and her wonderful banana chocolate cake

now she's upset! cos she's leaving us behind... :(

the current MC team

And we were all saying that it looked like Michelle's farewell instead cos she's in bright pink while the rest of us are in dull colours, some more put her face so close to a cake that she will not eat! Tsk! how can you upstage MJ's farewell huh??!?!?!

a clearer picture of the team

Thing is, boss remembered that michelle does not take chocolate! BFFs mah..... :) and did asked me to get a slice of non chocolate cake for mich, which I think is really really sweet of her to remember little things about her staff.

Although she did wrinkle her nose at mich's special slice of mango cake, and commented that her 1 slice is about quarter the size of MJ's entire cake, it was really to disturb mich and her intentions are good.

mich and her mango cake! Boss finds it boring though! haha

And I believe a few days before we celebrated MJ's farewell, sheena and I met up with eve for a dinner that we had been wanting to go even before my KK trip (it's an SSC culture to be late for everything! :)

So we finally had it, and it cannot be a farewell meal for eve as she has already left the company, went for a holiday, found new employment and have been working there for a couple of weeks. sheesh!!!!

Anyways, Annie had recommended this korean restaurant (Togi, @ chinatown area) and since the both of them are kimchi freaks, even though one JUST came back from Korea *rolls eyes* we went there for dinner. Me being apathetic towards food let them pick everything. Cos I eat much stuff - I just tend to smell them first. Weird habit of mine. hahahahahahah

table 2 - the place was damn squeezy la!

There was only one small lane for people to walk and the whole place stink as people ordered BBQ stuff - there's this hot plate for them to cook the meat infront of u. that is, if your table is big enough. Chairs keep knocking into each other and we can look at the stuff on other people's table easily. To their credit - business is good, and it seem that they do serve authentic korean food.

a huge pancake and the other xiao cai

The xiao cai were all free flow, which is customary in Korean cuisines. and I believe that the pancake is made of rice, which is pretty filling though it does not appear so at first look.

a happy eve now that the food is starting to arrive

Because the 3 of us were pretty much starving! And I was just looking at all this food that I have never really tried and wondered what should I eat.

ginseng chicken soup - with lots of filling

They kinda stuffed alot of herbs into the chicken, along with some glutinous rice - which eve said that they do not eat the rice, nor any of the nutritious ingredients inside the chicken. I cannot remember if they even eat the chicken meat! (mich must be thinking wat a waste of chicken man!) she mentioned that it was just to bring flavour to the soup and not meant to be eaten.

Even so, we just ate the stuff inside it la! haha and the soup was pretty good. *slurp*

yummylicious bulgogi beef

One of the highlights of the meal for sure! The beef is yummy! and very tender. This is our BBQ on a hot plate dish, though they did it in the kitchen as our table was already full. I saw that sheena and eve wrapped the beef in the cabbage and ate it like that, with garlic. But i really prefer to eat it on it's own or with rice.

There you have it! my 2 in 1 blog posts for the beloved colleagues! :)

Classical music overdose

2009-11-29T20:50:00.002+08:00

I wonder which dumbass took my cd. Or did I misplace it? :(

Anyways, I cannot find it.... Damn it! #$$^%^%@#!@@

Happen to chance across this page in Twilight where Bella first sat in Edward's car and the cd that he was playing on his stereo was Clair de lune. And that was when I wanted to listen to my now missing classical cd!!!!! :(

KNS.

But while I think Claire de Lune is nice, I prefer Moonlight Sonta, and hence the video. thank God for youtube for me to enjoy listening to my favourite classics even though my cd is missing. Sheeeesh! Maybe I should go pop by the Sembawang music store when I go to PS on Wednesday to pick up the rings. That is, if they are still there.

So are we finally clearing the backlog? Sunday

2009-11-29T19:28:00.002+08:00

Yeah yeah... I know that I have been real lazy and not updating for the longest time. But I kinda have been busy with stuff (or crafting excuses to update). Hahaha..

But yeah! Today we are clearing the backlog! So here goes.....

Today (29/11/09)
Saw that over the weekend a few people on FB found their one true love! Congrats to Patrick on his ROM! and to Leona on her engagement! May the both of you and your partners stay blissful for many many years to come!

Finally had dinner after a long hungry day having skipped dinner yesterday and lunch today. Somehow I don't have the appetite when it comes to eat and plus that huge quarrel yesterday, kinda piles up to the sian mood.

While, at least I'm getting some stuff done today - managed to crop out the Xmas ornaments (pretty successfully i must say, despite the many many years!!) using photoshop for Winston to get on imposing them on the graphic Xmas tree for us to submit our entry form by tomorrow for the competition. Let's hope it's good enough to be selected as one of the finalist!

And I'm clearing my blog backlog! Surely that must account for some? :)

Take it back Tuesday

2009-11-12T14:03:00.002+08:00

I noticed that recently my post titles have nice names. Hahaha

Learnt that from the Muttons to midnight show on 987fm. Damn funny!! This is a backdate entry cos today is obviously not Tuesday. Just that I happen to not eat lunch today, cos I had breakfast (which was a damn good idea cos it's pouring heavily outside now) and yeah, catch up on the blogs that I'm supposed to post. Like my Batam trip is still not even written! Tsk!!! Such a poor management of time Cheryl! Need to buck up on that aspect as well as work. Before anyone calls the stuff I do sloppy work.

And Take it back Tuesday is the name that the muttons called their show too on Tuesday (10 Nov) Hahah... so qiao..

After a totally tiring day at work attempting to archive 9 months worth of facilities request (which till now, I only did 1 month!!!!!!), Sheena and I went to PS for dinner at Thai express and started looking around for Christmas gift ideas! Most of the Christmas lightings are up already along orchard road and what a sight it is!!! Nice!! But somehow, it really don't feel like Christmas. The mood is totally lacking and not apparent in my life. I really wonder why. Hmmmm...

So anyways, bought alot of stuff! From Daiso and Spotlight! My main purpose in going to PS was actually to drop the lucky draw coupons to try to win a sewing machine. Cos I wanna learn home to sew and make beautiful dresses and clothes for the bear, Bb and myself! But nah.... didn't win. Bought stuff to make into Christmas gifts for colleagues though. But no pictures of it cos they are now all sitting with Bb, waiting to be cut up.

Then from Daiso, we bought beautiful santa hats and reindeer ears! hahahha

Maybe, just maybe when I start working on the Christmas presents then it will start to look like Christmas time. Let me start by doing up a present list this Saturday first for everyone. Then we shall see :)

This is it

2009-11-12T13:46:00.003+08:00

Amazing show!!!!!!

Truly enjoyed myself watching the videos footage of his rehearsals. And we can really see that he was a perfectionist and all the effort, thought and energy he has put into his music and stage presence, just to give enjoyment to his audience.

Cool stuff.

Went to find Bb at coffee bean (where else really?) after a long, tiring and brain draining day and I found him playing on his laptop. Hmmm... so much for studying huh? hahahahaha... He then went into the kitchen and cooked pasta for the both of us - kids sized.

They tasted delicious lor! And was damn filling. So we will pretty much skip the beef horfun he was telling me that he had on Tuesday with his friend. Hahahahaha

After dinner, we bought tickets and caught the movie (just in time too!) Love the movie, love Michael, and I am so going to buy his albums! But being the cheapo, maybe just one album la... the greatest hit or something. hahaha

Bb the bigger cheapo wants to download the whole album AND movie. Please la!!!! Just buy the CDs la! Let him and his family earn the money!

And then we played at the arcade. Bb always like to play "hit the target" and always create commotion. Cos it's very loud when he WHAM on the thing. And his highest score so far? - 902 Everyone just stood behind and around him and just looked. Quite a sight. I was so paiseh standing in the circle as well that I slowly blended in with the human wall surrounding him.

Such an attention seeker!!!! :)

Tu Lan Thursday

2009-11-12T13:27:00.002+08:00

What started out nice and ok turned into something that made me damn damn damn pissed off!!

Stayed over at Bb's place yesterday after catching the MJ's movie - this is it. Mum was staying over at Ee's place as well, so only sis was at home last night. Cos we went for the movie, we didn't managed to catch the Singapore Idol and a gleeful mum sms me at night to tell me that Duane is out. Awwwwwwwwwww....

Anyways, this morning, I got to sleep an extra hour cos Bb's house us that much closer to office than my place. And yeah, he drove me to work to, not before stopping at Tg Rhu for a spot of breakfast. Office was utterly quiet too as well cos boss is out for an external meeting. So the mood and everything was pretty much relaxed.

Then all that shiet from yesterday came back..

1) the photography request from that very ma fan company - bloody hell keep calling, keep asking for new time slots. u think i very free issit!!!!! KNS!!! asking a whole load of questions too! why can't u go to somewhere else to take photos huh??!?!

2) the save stuff from the laptop to cd shiet - apparently i have to really do it myself cos of some utter bullshiet about they cannot access files as it's confidential blah blah nonsense. Please, we are just asking u to move and archive them. not to open and read the contents of these files rite? so dumb

But, the winner of the dumbasses is.....................

3) getting a key from the security - this beats all stupid stuff man! we had wanted to go in to MJ's room to do the transfer to files 2). And also, sometimes boss would wan to go into MJ's room to pick some stuff up. and so we requested the key from security. It's like asking them for money. TMD. just give me that bloody key la! firstly the dumbos dun seem to know what I was asking for. =.= it's a stupid key idiot! Then after speaking to 3 different people *rolls eyes* they finally get the msg that I just wan to bloody get a key. Next, they wanted simi approval from the director to get the keys to her room. I was like "ARE U AN IDIOT?? SHE HAS RESIGNED ALREADY RITE!!!!" stupid asses. So they say simi they needed rhonda's approval to give me the keys. so i was wondering if she needs to fill up some form or write an email for this damn organisation. But no, they say verbal also can. So I called her and got her to speak to the security on it.

And then it was settled. NOT. though boss say ok give. and the guy wanted to pass me the keys. Apparently, there's still his manager to OY at him, then the 4 of them was in some ah neh language discussion, then they asked me again WHAT DO I NEED THE KEYS FOR.

These people are bleeding stupid that I was totally losing my patience. And here writing this piece of story is making my blood boil again. Fucking idiots.

So ultimately, they just simply refused to give me the keys lor! then asked me to go back first.... "we will call u" Fuck u la assholes! So I just gingerly complained to boss who in turn told the story to berv. Hahahahaa... U are in deep shiet security. Who ask u to try to make things difficult for us! Damn bitches!!!!

But still, the keys came to me afterall. The guy whom Rhonda spoke to came and delivered the keys to me just. He was the nicest of the bunch la.. then he was apologising for the red tapes and explained why. Cos it seems a while ago some director complained that people has been drawing keys from security to open his door as and when they like la and there have been complains.

Yah. Like it's my problem. REALLY. Anyways, he's the only nice one, so really thanks for the keys, whoever u are!

And to the rest, fuck off to mustafa la!

Whats up with that Wednesday

2009-11-11T10:12:00.002+08:00

Totally KNS!!! Quite the very pissed with work people la!!

Especially with that rude boy.. Why am I seem to be doing everything little thing!!! I mean. Boss sent YOU something to ask YOU to print then YOU just bloody well do it la! So if your bloody laptop cannot connect to the colour printer, just get IT to come fix it and not try to push YOUR assigned work to someone else! FUCKER!!!!

Same for the other one! If you receive the email informing bout the new staff, and I did not get it, tell me who is supposed to do all that is being stated in the email?!?!

These people should not happily forward such mails to me to ask me to look at it, to do the things stated and to work on it!!!

TMD TMD TMD TMD TMD TMD TMD TMD TMD TMD TMD TMD

The past weekend 8 -9 Nov

2009-11-09T17:03:00.009+08:00

Geez.... I'm so backdated!

but hopefully today will be ok le... I'm trying I'm trying!!! And with Bb not around this weekend (with his millionaire's mind workshop), I think I will have loads of time for myself to do all that things that I say I would.

Anyways, the past week. Let's see. Met Amy, Sarah and Miao on 3 Nov for dinner to celebrate Sarah's bday. Was quite du lan with some people as they kinda made plans and decisions without consulting everyone. But well, since it's Sarah's birthday, din really wanted to blow up the matter.

For that Saturday of the week, Bb had to attend a SCSM talk (which made us unable to go for a ubin cycling trip that sheau lih had organised. But ultimately, too many people pulled out last minute and the while trip was cancelled) in the morning at RP. We had wanted for us to leave his place early on Friday night for him to be able to take the public transport to RP the next morning. But we were chatting and resting and oops..... it was too late. Hence on Saturday morning, Bb and a still sleepy me drove to Woodlands. He dropped me off at Woodlands to take a train back myself and get ready for the few hours until the end of his briefing to have lunch together at North Point.

And while waiting, I had decided to make more barley drink for us. :)

Lunch was at Delifrance, now they serve grills! We ordered some BBQ platter for 2, which sounds very much plentiful on the menu. It has chicken, steak, sausages, eggs, lamb, mash potato with bacon bites and free slow of soft drinks. But when it came, it was pretty much disappointing la.. the portions weren't that huge, but it was eventually, still filling (we ate pretty much all the bread provided as well!)

Our lunch at Delifrance, Yishun North Point

Bb looks amazed at all the food! :)

After lunch, we had to make a trip to Kiddy palace to buy some baby stuff for Xavier, as it's his first month party later on at 5pm at Sharon's place. So after looking through the stuff and exclaiming at how expensive baby's things are, we picked out a bottle full of rattlers and toys, together with a pair of baby cow mittens. Sweet..... :)

Next we went to some of the jewelry shops to check out rings... hehehehe it will be our 2nd year anniversary, come 27th Nov and yeahh, we are deciding to get a new pair of rings! :) Our first pair was bought as a Christmas present 2 years ago, when we first started going out together, and it was pretty significant as it showed that I was ready to well, have a serious relationship with him. hahahaha. Now, 2 years down the road, the rings dun fit anymore! Mine, size 9 is way too small for the forefinger and his, size 16 is too large.

We kinda saw this range at SK that is made out gold and white gold. According to the sales lady, they are comfort rings, meaning it's comfortable tow ear for long periods. However, Bb found the rings were kinda thick (which the lady says it normal). Then after tt when we left the place, Bb said that he was ok with thickness, but think that I might not like it... awwwwwwww.... :)

We are still looking around, when we have the time to, which might be a little hard cos Bb's

calendar is pretty much packed for the rest of the month already. See how it goes ba. :) And we have just decided last night (12/11/09) that we will cook dinner at home this year instead of going out to eat cos it will be that much more meaningful. and bb said he would cook cos he's the better chef *rolls eyes* but yeahhhh... I love his cooking! yums!! 15 days more! Can't wait!

Anyways, after our shopping, we went to find Baby Xavier, but no pictures cos he's still small and frail, and I didn't want to take pictures of him. And yeahh, he's always sleeping. Mum carried him though! When the rest of us didn't dared. And though she kept saying that she din wanted to look after a baby, she was all smiles when she was carrying him. hahaha :)

Thunderstorm Thursday

2009-11-05T12:56:00.002+08:00

It's raining damn heavily now, that's why I'm staying in for lunch. :)

And also because Sheena and I had the foresight to take breakfast today and therefore not hungry now too. But she still went ahead to Tg Rhu for lunch with the finance team. Which is good la, then I can get her to help da bao lunch back for both me and Boss.

Boss has been very stressed lately and it's pretty much apparent on her face. And perhaps of the stress, she has been pretty much relax to the rest of us, and everyone is pretty much ok. Busy, very busy yes. But ok. Hopefully her squash game later will make her a bit happier. She is after all, human and we should be mindful of her feelings even though sometimes she doesn't seem to appreciate it. But like I say, things are getting better, and we seem to like each other better as well. Which is a real good thing.

So yeah, I feel that life is pretty much good lately, especially with whatever that I have with Xiami. Somehow after that Monday evening when I met him thinking that it would be very hard to spend time with him from then on, things really took a turn for the better. Not only did he start picking up the phone and calling me a few times in a day (which at times is more often that what he used to call in a week), he was pretty much chippy and even came down to find me for dinner on Tuesday! :)

It makes me feel very contented and blessed being with him. Cos I truly feel loved and hence would be able to channel more love, support and encouragement to him in return. Which then contests what my friends believe, about needed to secure a house first before you make a decision to tie the knot, or that a diamond needs to be of a certain size before you can even consider him. Love and a relationship is fueled by affections and a constant understanding and "giving in to" each other. And at this point in time, I feel that both of us had more of less reached this stage. Which is a huge leap from the turbulence we were experiencing a few weeks before. He really matured and grew quite a bit ever since he came out to work, albeit the short stint at the tradepac company.

While he's still looking out for his passion and direction in life, I promise to stand by him and support his decision and offer help in any way possible. :)

And in the meanwhile, I will start to find stuff that will seem more meaningful to me as well. As much as I like the working environment where I am at now, I feel that it will and does not contribute much to my personal growth. So in this aspect, I feel that I do not know what I am doing with my life and my time. We are only young once (that's why I'm asking xiami to go out and follow his passion to do whatever he likes first) and if I don't get to live my life the way I want it, to go all out and love someone passionately, to just party and drink and party and drink like there's no tomorrow, man, I don't know when will I ever get the chance to do it again.

Probably the most important thing is to just be happy and never let yourself down. :)

Terrific Tuesday

2009-11-03T10:58:00.002+08:00

Haha.. The bitch is on mc today. Yipeee!!~ Poor bimbo, totally clueless to the fact that she is so unpopular here.

Anyways, when I told stormy that she wasn't here, her reaction was: "YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! THAT'S THE BEST NEWS EVER TODAY!"

And I so can relate to her lor. Hahaha

Bb just called to tell me that he wanted to go into insurance line and he just called Miao to let her know. I was like huh? That's a bit quick isn't it? Anyways, I had said that I would support his decision in which ever career path he would like to explore in. Thing is, I wonder why he seem not to be considering a job in the engineering field where he has a diploma in. Weird..

Maybe I should help him to look for engineering jobs. But I suppose we also need to see if he still has the passion for the electricity stuff. Yesterday when he sent me home, sister bugged him to fix my fan for me. Which he did and nearly got himself killed. Scared the shiet out of me lor. He told me that he touched a live wire when the plug was back in the socket. (i had initially unplugged it to avoid such accidents, but he put it back in to test, and forgot to remove it again)

Bb said that the current went all the way up to his arm, and had this tingling feeling, and then the whole house blacked out cos the circuit breaker tripped. Thank God for the circuit breaker that I still have my Bb with me. If not I also wouldn't know what to do. Anyways, after that he put my fan back all together and took my girl girl wu gui home. (we traded for the week. hahaha)

He's such an amazing person, talented in so many ways. I mean hey! How many people out there can actually take apart a fan and fix it back again? That's also one of the reasons why I stop addressing him as stupid and /or useless. Cos, he's so awesome in so many different ways! And that's why I love you.

Moody Monday

2009-11-02T14:47:00.002+08:00

Today is pretty much mixed feelings.

Except for the argument with that stupid bimbo. I suppose anyone that can put up a framed up newspaper article of herself in the office is already very qualified to be a bimbo. tmd. And the best part is that she herself did not inform anyone about this person who is coming down tml and expects people to be aware. Hahaha... totally clueless. And for good measure, I called her PA to check if she's aware as well. Which she also knows no picture no sound. The way this kind of people work? BEST LAH!!

Then I ask myself again, what on earth am I doing in such a place??

Urghh.... Bb started his new job today as well. Then I think he's starting to feel the stress of the real world, with his new boss pushing him pretty hard and asking him to perform up to standard or to leave the place. I mean, yeah I get that, but to only give people 1 week to show improvements. Hmmmm.... Then again Bb was telling me improvements as in attitude wise. I suppose have to sit him down to really find out what was conveyed to him first before forming impressions on this David person. And his policies over Bb's bedtime and all. Weird..... Then again, like Sheena said, it might be that my boyfriend told me not not necessary instructions given from David. See what he says later ba. But I haven't seen him or spend quality time with him for so long that I don't really feel like talking shop.

Maybe just to relax and think about some bo liao things or just rest. That sounds way better and more enticing than thinking about work.

Cos when I think about work, I think about that bimbo *growls* and I really wanna finish updating the resume and send it out.

And now if the only time that I get to spend with Bb is only on the weekends, I would have to find other ways of relaxation on the weekdays to take my mind of bimbos and the bad weather.

May I should make use of my staff pass for the remaining months and go for swims and gym sessions at Yishun. Stupid woman.. I hope someone scratches your car later. Hahaha. Or pour pig's blood over it.

Shucks.. It seems like it's going to rain! And I'm wearing my kitten shoes today. After that last heavy downpour, not only my shoes have become extremely dirty, it seems to have gone out of shape already. Sibei cham... then again, it means that I get another excuse to buy a new pair of shoes! :p

Can't wait to see Bb later. Can't wait to get out of this place. Can't wait to pull the bimbo by the hair and stuff her airhead into a drain.

Slacking Sunday

2009-11-01T20:25:00.002+08:00

I love Sundays.

Although Monday is another work day (blah), Sunday is the family day, the day for relaxing. After dinner today, mummy and ! took a short walk along the park and just enjoyed each other's company. :)

Didn't do anything at all today. Hahaha.. Pretty much just lay in bed and nua-ed after the high energy consuming night. I love halloween parties man!

Prob I will just spend the next few hours updating past blog entries ba.. and the resume too. That is, if I feel better. Ever since last night, I have this perpetual "i want to vomit" feeling. Not good at all.

Saw pictures from last night though.. These people are fast in uploading and tagging photos in facebook man! Then on a Singapore Idol blog, I saw the song list for the next episode, and liked the song that Chirs is going to sing.

Detoxing again

2009-10-27T13:38:00.003+08:00

A new start - in so many ways

Firstly, I guess we would be working towards having a better relationship dynamics - with me being less obsessive and he taking more imitative. Which, yeah, is a good start.

Then yeah! I be starting my detox plan thingy again. And today would be day 1 for the next 2 weeks. For 2 reasons actually - one is cos it seems that someone thinks I'm fat! hence a desperate need to slim down huh.. and the second is purely for myself - to preserve the good looks and body that my parents gave me. Hahaha! That's so ANTM!!

And with all the extra lunch hour time, I suppose I can get to save money on food, and have more time to blog about stuff, and to surf the net for *ahem ahem* openings. So it's really like a great plan! The only problem that I foresee is all the dinner dates that I have accepted beforehand! Urghhhh... Like tml, I'm supposed to dine with Sheena and Evelyn (who would both kill me if I don't turn up) Then thursday I'm out with Xiao Li for a massage at 6.30pm, and I presume dinner afterwards. Maybe I can tell her that I won't be eating. And Sat it would be Halloween! And Wilfred just told me that he got 4 tickets to Attica!!!!!!!!!!! Cool stuff! And then next Sat we are going to Pulau Ubin for seafood! Urghhhhh.... Tough luck man! It seems I picked the wrong time to start.

But I'm sure we will manage. :)

Cher's point of view

2009-10-27T00:15:00.004+08:00

It's just a fine line between a good day and a bad day it seems.

Or maybe I just need to lower my expectations.

I'm not sure how to describe today - whether if I enjoyed the day or not. It seems it's a bit of both.

The morning started out pretty shitty. Literally. I began taking the get-the-shiet out pills again and it's just doing its job, so by the time I reached douby gaut, I kinda really wanted to use the loo.

And so it came to mind that I could just take half day and maybe have the dim sum near bb's place and then go back to his place and sleep. So I was quite excited about the idea, but Boss was pretty much occupied the whole bleeding morning that I only managed to get my leave cleared at 1.30pm. By which I was positively starving. And bb was sleeping. Spent a bit of effort waking him up then had to wait in the hot sun for him for about 7 mins to go to Lorong 17 for lunch.

our yummy lunch!

I was super hungry that I ordered tons of food. And managed to finish everything! Hahaha... Not too sure what the name of that place is, but its a 126 *insert chinese name here*.

the biggest let down of lunch - beef and golden mushrooms

And that was also the most expensive item on the table too! In the picture, the beef was thick and yummy! Here it looks totally unappetising. It cost $6 btw. The fried cha siew bao next to it is delicious though!!! :p

Then we realised that they only take in cash and we do not have enough and it seems that the next available ATM is at lor 25, way down the street. So sweet Bb walked the way to withdraw cash to pay for lunch then we went back and slept my PM leave away.

That is how life should be like everyday. But sadly, if I lived like that I probably won't have money to spend. Sigh.. Life is cruel.

bb's boy boy in his vroom vroom convertible

Started playing with bb's tortoise. Haha.. He wanted to change his boy boy tortoise with my girl girl tortoise but I simply refuse, cos of the fact that mine just simply look THAT much cuter an nicer. Will show pictures to make sense of all this soon. Then he was going on about how the boy tortoise represents him and therefore I should have that to hug to sleep cos it will be like I'm hugging him to sleep and vice verse. *rolls eyes* See how first la!!!!

It's hard to think clearly when I'm feeling as frustrated as I do now. Cos while I can see things from your point of view, I get the feeling that you are not trying to understand me back in return. Even after I gave my reasons. I want to spend time with you. And I try too, as and when I can, even to the extend of taking leave to accompany you like today as I know that we will not be able to meet for the next few days.

You say yes. And we did meet, and we did spend quality time together by having lunch and resting together. We did accomplished the things that I had wanted to do. But the list just keeps getting longer and my demands just keep increasing as they kept fulfilled.

Which seems to be true too. *urghhhh*

I know that I want a few things. And I don't think what I'm asking for it's too much. Like I say, you have your needs, and I have mine too. You want certain things, I try (as and when I can) to help you fulfill them, but please do know that it needs to work both ways. It's always not about you. And do realise that recently we are always following what you want. Shouldn't you be more giving to me now then?

You say it's very taxing on your part as I try to meet u like 2 or 3 times a week now. But I believe that I am the one who is bleeding traveling fm office to your place during lunch times (and taking a bus back to office after) or going to your place after work and catching a train back at night. I mean, sure, in the past you do send me back every single time when I go over. But now, nope, not so much. Especially so over the past 2 weeks. But did I ever pout and complain? Not really.

I kinda see the point in this whole thing now. I think up to now I have just been giving you too much of attention and time. And you are not yet capable of returning equal amounts of adoration back, but I am expecting you to cos it will only be fair to me in that sense. And once I don't see or feel this sense of adoration, I tend to feel insecure.

To you, spending time is as long as we are in the same room / house / space.
I suppose to me, spending time is when we do stuff together, talk and just hang around. Which seems to also include your interpretation of spending time. Which I can see why you are at no fault. But please please please understand that I value the communication bit quite highly. I mean, yeah, I like it too when we just sit around and just rest or watch tv. No talking needed. But when talking is needed, please do so.

And lastly, please please please keep to your word. If you say you would call me. Do so. If not you will just make people lose trust in your words.

the surprise and the suay-ness

2009-10-23T13:51:00.003+08:00

Quite a bit of things happened in the past 2 days!

And I realised that I still haven't blog about my Batam trip with bb.. Maybe I will get too lazy and totally forget all about it! Hahaha

Anyways, my sweet bb gave me the surprise of the month yesterday evening! (though i think he's trying to make up for making me pissed the night before where he didn't call me when he reached home fm work at 12.30am, but it's ok) While I was diligently working thinking that he was sleeping at home to be well rested for his midnight shift (considering that he did not pick up my call), he called me back at 5pm to say that he was at circuit road as he just met David for some prep talk.

So I was like hmmmmm.... ok. And so he say that he is heading home now and will call me when he reached back. But he didn't! Instead the sweetie went to Leisure Park, grabbed a tea and called me when he was just outside my office! How sweet is that? :)

So yups.. that was pretty much impromptu.. so I just packed my bags and left with him. :) Without knowing where we are to first. Thankfully I'm not worth much, so it never crossed his mind to sell me away. We went back to his place for dinner, then took a nap till 9.30pm then went home. Kinda pointless, but the whole idea was that the sweetie took the imitative and find me. I'm quite easily pleased huh.

But that's yesterday. Today, I'm rather du lan! And it does not makes things better that I had pretty little sleep last night and woke up today rather unwillingly. Anyways, I just had lunch with Jireh at Kallang. Little Miss Blur though that he meant Lavender (cos his office is at Lavender!) and went to the bus stop opposite SOTA. On the way there, she saw 2 of the bloody bus 12 (which travels to Lavender) past her by. Btw, that was the bus I was intending to take as I thought the lunch area was Lavender ma!

So, when I reached the bus stop and realised my mistake, I was like oops!!!! But it's ok. Cos I could take to Lavender and take a train back to Kallang ma! So I waited for the bus 12 again, or bus 158 (the bus to bb's house! which also goes to Aljunied mrt station). After about 7 mins, I decided to sms Jireh to find out where he is, to which he replied that he would be reaching in 3 mins! And I'm still waiting for a bus.. Sigh.. So I gave up and decided to take a cab there instead. The minute I turned my back and walked away from the bus stop to an empty grass patch to hail a cab, guess what, bus 12 came!!!! KNN!!! KNS!!! @#@%#%^$@#%&!@#

And it does not end there! My cab came pretty quickly, but the driver, to his credit he was very safe. But to my frustration, he was damn slow! And of all lanes, he chose to travel behind a slow moving vehicle. I almost strangled him. And cos of his slowness, I had to wait for like 2 traffic lights too. KNS!!! In the end, my cab fare came up to $4.60! =.= damn pissed la.

Quite like the other day (wed) when I went over to bb's house for lunch. The sun was so bloody hot that I was sweating like a pig just by walking from the 158 bus stop to his place. And then it rained. heavily! And my *recently washed* kitty shoes were thoroughly soaked and dirty and muddy. And the bus just wouldn't come on time for me to catch a bus back and it was already 2.30pm. And so I had to take a cab back. KNS!!!

What can I say? In these 2 weeks, Comfort has earned quite a bit from me already lei!!! =.=

For JH and Kee

2009-10-21T10:58:00.003+08:00

And then I realise that the words are too small to read. Sighhh.... k la, pls give me your email addresses, I will send the image to you guys. And JH, tell me if that's you k? :)

My first attempt at making barley!

2009-10-21T00:52:00.003+08:00

Yup! and I must say it's quite a success! *clap clap*

It all started with my buying barley and honey lemon drinks for bb on sunday when we were both feeling heaty. While we finished the honey lemon, we forgot to refrigerate the barley.. and I think it went bad. :( so we had to throw away the 2 bottles. Such a waste!

So, I wanted to buy another 2 bottles of barley on sunday to replace the ones that I threw, but bb said he would cook for me. Such a sweetie. But as always, he got distracted, and the barley lay forgotten.

Just now during the talk, he did sms-ed me to say tt he's still feeling heaty, and needs loads of water and rest to fully recover. Of cos la! I also know this much lor! So, I have decided to boil some barley for him. Hahaha.. And it's my first time doing so, so I don;t really know the steps and the amounts and all.

After the talk and after dinner, Sheena accompanied me to go barley shopping at carefour. :) As the usual goon-du, I cannot find anything and dunno where to look for the barley. So we approached a lady to ask her where the barley is. And she replied : "说中文。你说什么阿？"

Thankfully, I do know that barley is called 薏米, which makes it that much easier for her to point me in the dried condiments area, which we totally missed. hahahaha

A sweep of the area, found us the barley and rock sugar. And the veggie section gave us the pandan leaves. I had only wanted to buy 1/3 of that bundle, but they kinda insisted on selling me the whole thing and conning me of 50cents! Anyways, we started playing with the pandan leaves, with me giving her good luck for all the surfing and clicking and sending that she will be doing later in the day. :)

ingredients to make a delicious barley drink - barley, rock sugar, pandan leaves, and lots of love

at the start of the process - after putting in the barley and the pandan leaves

After that, I left it on the slow fire for it to boil for the next 20 mins or so with the lid on. Think some spilled out as a result, but all is fine! Barley is still there! Kitchen is not burned down yet! :)

the end product!

Ta DAAAA!!! Very pleased and proud!! :) When I saw that the barley water is trying to spill out, I kinda turned off the fire and decide to just add in the sugar cubes like that, (as the barley is still hot enough to melt the cubes). So I added in about 2 big scoops of sugar and stirred, and on back the fire for that little bit of assurance. Hahaha.. It tasted fine to me so I just off everything. The pandan taste was rather strong though it came from one tiny stalk of pandan!

It was not until much later that I realised that I didn't taste the barley to see if it's soft and chewy enough. But it doesn't matter. I'm making a barley DRINK.

I gave the firs cup of barley to my sis! But that pig was sleeping and did not want a cup of barley *hurt* so I took it for myself, then I scooped a cup for mummy. The rest was supposed to be for bb and myself to bring to work the next day.

the barley for bb is cooling off!

But it seems that after I finish setting aside the drink for bb, there wasn't enough left. :( And I remembered my promise to Sheena that I would get her a cup if it's drinkable. Hahaha.. So yeah, the sad cup that remained, will go to her.

and sheena's barley too! anyone wans some leftover pandan leaves?

Ultimately, after I drank my portion, I think it's still reasonably ok and delicious! Sheena, if you are reading this, the little blue bottle is ur share! Sadly, it's not even half full. HAHAHAHA. It's a case of too much barley and too little water! :)

"It's only the start of the week!!"

2009-10-21T00:29:00.002+08:00

And already very lousy for me.

I chose to take my PH off in lieu yesterday (Monday) to accompany bb who wasn't feeling too well over the weekend.

In the end, we went out, ate some *not very worth it* sushi which left us pretty mad, caught a movie, ran a few errands for his brother, and yeah, ran. Quite a fair bit of things, but more about it later..

As I was saying, today wasn't very smooth sailing. At work at least. First of all, there was a meeting at 9am *need i say more?* Then, the weather wasn't clear at all. We experienced strong storms with lightning in the playroom. Geez....

And I got struck lor.... for typing too slow on michelle's laptop, which I am totally damn accustomed to. Cos she needs someone to work at warp speed. Of cos, of cos..... Anything la! She's the dua liap ma..

The load of emails that I keep getting and the damn asses who like leaving voice messages in my mailbox didn't really help either (and of cos, the 3 hour meeting that took up the entire morning). So I started drowning in my work, that I din really stop by to chat with annie when she waved at me *sry annie!* And before I knew it, Sheena was asking me what time I wanna leave work to go for the wedding planner talk. I wanted to reply her 6.15pm, then I realised that it was already 6.15pm!!!!!! shucks!

But we still made it in time. And I did managed to clear some of the more important stuff. Still alot of work left sitting around though. And Sheena is on PH off tml :( blahh... no one for me to give a weather forecast too.. How uninteresting!

Anyways, I'm still considering about applying for the wedding planners course. It's 5K for a 10 month course, but it's an education and a skill that I can use in later life.. But it's still quite a sum to invest in an interest. See how first ba, let me talk to a few more people first before making a decision.

In all sense of randomness

2009-10-18T14:22:00.002+08:00

that's a deformed te kia!!!!

My Favourite food from the lunar 7th month to 八月十五. So much so that bb bought me 50 of those! (which arrived yesterday and gave mum a nasty shock this morning when she was fully awake and saw the bag. hahahaha!)

50. No kidding. *bliss!* Hopefully none of them are deformed!

dinner with the buds

2009-10-18T14:09:00.018+08:00

Just the other day, I met bee and Jem for a catch up session at the sakae tepanyaki @ cineleisure. It was partly to celebrate Bee's birthday and partly to discuss about bee's wedding plans. Poor Bee is faced with alot of difficulties, for her ROM that will be happening in Feb, until now they are still not allowed to do anything, not allowed to book anything, not allowed to plan anything. Geezz...

Then again, it's not my wedding to comment on. She just needs alot of luck to pull through her ROM man.. and of cos, our monthly wedding update. It be exciting, her being my first close friend to get married. Though she mentioned that her customary dinner would only be held in 2011, after the tiger year, no less.

The reason for all this unnecessary hassle is their parents. Both sides are very pang tang! So, nothing can be discussed during the 7th lunar month, nothing can be booked, and the date cannot be fixed before bee's granddad's 1st death anniversary. The ROM cannot be held in the year of the Tiger (before 4th Feb), the ceremony cannot be too near to Jackson's birthday, blah blah blah, and the list goes on. Sigh..... then I have friends telling me that it would be like that too for me when my turn comes *rolls eyes* cos my mum is rather pang tang too.. and if I really do end up with xiami, I too do think that his parents are pang tang. Sheeeeeeeesh!

Anyways, back to dinner. As we haven't really had tepanyaki together, Jem suggested this place. We ordered some set dinner for 2 to share between me and bee, while "i'm very hungry!" Jem ordered a chicken set for himself.

Our set comes with a whole slew of food, which includes salmon sashimi (which since the both of them do not like raw stuff, it's all to me! HOHOHO!!)

4 thinly sliced pieces of salmon sashimi! :)

All the food are served on pretty, dainty sakura themed plates! Love them! However, some of the plates that they served us are still rather oily.

Jem's tomato salad. doesn't look very appetizing hor?

the condiments that we provided for us - soy sauce, ginger and chili flakes

Our chef then came and did his magic:

the tepan chef can cook!

He was quite amazing to watch! And we were guaranteed the freshness of the food. I saw one of the staff fishing for clams in the tank behind us then someone else was cooking them shortly after! After oiling the surface of "cooking" area, he started peeling the flesh out from the clams using his scoops, an started grilling them. Along with the clams, he cooked our chicken, veggie, toufu, and *jem's* mushrooms! Yums!

that's all our food! :P

tuck in!

our single scoop of vanilla ice cream. Not too dairy, not too sweet. :)

While we are having our ice cream, we saw the chef preparing chawamushi. Instead of using a porcelain glass as most chefs do, he used an onion! then he poured the egg mixture into the onion cup, and added some water on the tepan and covered it. Periodically, he checked the onion and added more egg mixture. The end product was amazing! And we contemplated ordering one to taste it! hahahaha..

Price per person: about $20 SGD

Please help!

2009-10-16T15:17:00.002+08:00

Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammograms in exchange for advertising. 45,000 clicks gets one mammogram per Snopes, but it's real, and a little bit of your time will help.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. I tried it.. its real! :)
http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=2
and I confirmed this with Snopes http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/charity/mammogram.asp

Help for these unfortunate women is just 2 clicks away!

Thanks

Utterly tired

2009-10-16T14:22:00.002+08:00

Cos I took the cough mixture in the morning after breakfast. It's prob the after lunch syndrome now.

Been very tired recently. The illness is just one small part of it. Bb is working midnight shift recently, poor boy must be more tired then me now. But at least he's getting his rest now. He started this shitty shift on Wednesday night, and as it was his first time doing it, I tried to stay up with him till as late as I can, hopping to accompany him when he feels bored or sleepy. This, despite the crazy 9am meeting I had the next day (which I attended with droopy eyes).

He called me at 8+am the next morning when he finally ended his shift. But gamely woke up at 1pm to have lunch with me. But the poor boy couldn't get back to sleep after that, and when I went over to his place, I knew that he got his friend to come too. Weird! So he din manage to put in any sleep in the evening also.

I'm so sleepy that my eyes are just closing while I'm typing the post... How I wish I could just lie down and sleep.. Just save for the loudly typing sounds from Agnes and the super loud conversation with her suppliers. Sigh..

I just hope Bb will get enough sleep for his shift tonight.. Am thinking of what plans I can make over this weekend- this would be the first weekend that we don't have anywhere to go to - which means, I can sleep in late! yay! Hopefully I will feel equally tired then to enjoy the stretch of sleep. :)

In the meanwhile, I'm trying to find out who is the eventual winner for the Jetstar lite saver contest. The results should be out by today.. Hopefully they will inform us who the winner is. I'm quite curious to know. :)

Bb, wake up soon k? I'm bored to tears and is missing you loads.

A trip down memory lane

2009-10-14T14:06:00.007+08:00

Over the F1 vroom vroom weekend, we bid farewell to Evelyn with a yummy dinner at Mr Punch, located at the Mint Museum of Toys @ Seah street.

Nice coaster!

unique right? they have a downloadable version for you to colour on their web too!

As Mark is friends with the owner of the place, he managed to score for us free admission to the museum with a guided tour! Thanks Mark!

nana, mich and me all ready to go for our tour!

Our guide was Mark's church friend and had been working with toys almost all his life! so much so that he was able to tell us loads of information on the toys just by looking at them. For example,

these LIMITED EDITION Star Wars *believe it or not* bubble bath bottles cost like USD 4 figures each as Eve kindly reminded me when I captioned the photos as "star wars bubble bath bottles"

That's the popeye showcase we were all looking at. The guide was explaining about some toy that only has 2 pieces in the world now and we are looking at one.

Everyone went "WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" and vowed to go home and dig out old toys to sell to the museum owner

beautiful noody and peter rabbit coasters!

snow white

I like this photo alot.. Her expression is so forlorn that it captivates me totally. However, the others don't really think that way...

Michelle: "WAH!! why that snow white so fat one ah?!?!?!"

Cher: "Maybe cos last time the like their women plump. That's why all fat!"

Michelle: "Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya... I also think so!"

MJ: "Looks so ghostly eerie!!!"

But I really like her. And yeah.. I also think she's fat la! Eat less apples la snow white!

Michelle showing off the batman lookalike cape

We went to the popular toys section next and saw the batman toys! So we got Michelle to pose as she happened to wear a *flap flap* vest that looks very much like the Batcape. HAHAHAHAHA. Don't believe? compare to the tiny blue batman on the top right corner of the photo. :) Batman!!! da da da da da Batman!!!!!!

girls' favourite before assembly / during recess game - hopscotch!!

You don't really wanna know how much the hopscotch carpet cost la.. It's quite depressing really. Just know that it's customised for the owner after he sent pictures of the museum and dimensions to the designer. And it seems that after they rolled out the carpet, the owner loved it so much that he immediately placed an order for 6 more of it.

cher enjoying herself truly at the museum

This is at the "growing-up" toys section, where we saw many of the toys that we played with when we were younger! There were games like the Styrofoam aeroplanes, snakes and ladders, and alot of the wound up toys!

michelle and evelyn

Once we finished the tour, we were famished!! (actually, we were all hungry before that already! my tummy was complaining rather loudly, but as it would be very very rude to just abandon the guide and look for food, we stuck to him to the end!) So much so that we didn't take photos and just tuck in. Hahaha.. We had *yum yum* foir gras and scallops for starters!

This place basically serves western food, with seafood, pasta and pizzas. In the end, most of us opt for the F1 set menu, which includes either a soup or salad, a main (I had fillet), and either the martini or their house pour. All for 20 odd bucks!

The starters were delicious! However, there were a few complains about the mains. Some said that their fish has a strong fishy smell. Like it's not cooked properly. Gross! And the waiting time was pretty long too even though the place was not packed.

the *current* imc team

our larva cake desert

The larva cake was another disappointment! When it finally arrived *after a long time*, we poked at it excitedly but nothing flowed out! Where's our hot chocolate?!?! We realised that it was hardened inside the sponge cake. And the cake wasn't hot at all! Hmmmmmm.... felt kinda cheated. So we returned the cake and asked for a new one, which was piping hot on the outside, but same thing, no larva when we cut it open.

Overall, it's a nice place to dine, and the pub upstairs is a nice place to chill. Especially over the vroom vroom weekend where we could hear *vrruuuummmmm* sounds! Worth a try :)

price per pax : About $30

Obsess

2009-10-14T13:34:00.002+08:00

I had this ultra weird dream one night about me, xiami and his ex gf. It was something about her writing in her recent blog posts about wanting to get back together with him and that kind of shiet.

So being the typical "I need to be control of everything" kind of girl, naturally I checked up on this girl. I checked up her old friendster account and facebook account. Sheeeshhh.. my stalker instincts are back again. Anyways, I logged in with Xiami's friendster account and deleted the comments that he used to post for her. (I owned up to him afterwards, and surprisingly he wasn't pissed with me!) I tried to google her, but think she's quite insignificant, and google cannot generate any results out.

And then I wonder, why waste my efforts on a has-been?

My bb knew that I was upset and sick yesterday and he gallantly drove me to his place from my office, endured my constant questioning and came to hug me when he saw that I was still upset. And then things were ok. For that moment. I suppose once in a while the jealous nature of me will still check up on this has-been and delete anything that I had previously missed. But maybe not for a long time. And I knew that I havent left any stones unturned. Maybe except for the blog, cos the link was wrong. hmmmmmm

And it really made everything that much better when my bb did not add her as a friend on facebook. Love him the most. Not only that, we both agreed that she's not appealing (which translates to Cher is so much better than the has-been!), and that the husband to be is some old, pudgy, balding guy. Poor them.

In the meanwhile, *huggies* baby! I love you so much! :)

Primary 6 PSLE Maths question

2009-10-12T17:54:00.001+08:00

Think you are smarter than a Primary 6?
Try this question. It's said to be taken out from this year's PSLE exam paper.
The exam paper that has students crying and parents complaining.

Jim bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Ken. Ken bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jim. Jim ate 12 sweets and Ken ate 18 chocolates. The ratio of Jim’s sweets to chocolates became 1:7 and the ratio of Ken’s sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Ken buy?"

Back from batam and still sick

We were at Batam for over the weekend.

Although I wasn't feeling well since Friday, we still decided to go ahead as we have already paid for it. It's an all inclusive package from Harris Resorts Batam! In total it cost us about $270, for a 2D1N, all food, drinks and activities included at their new trendy wing.

Will upload pictures and tell more later when I get my camera cable back from bb's house.

Finally saw a doctor this morning after puking daily for 3 days and feeling increasingly worse. And my arm is aching from the bowling games that we played over the weekend. The doctor said that my cough is deep sited, which means that the phlegm is very deep down, and when I start coughing, all the phlegm will go up to the lungs, making it very uncomfortable for me, and that's why I will puke. Makes alot of sense! But I wonder how does that give me tummy aches too. Ouch.. :(

*plonks back to bed*

With the day off, I got to sleep in till 11am *bliss!* Then I went to the clinic, and passing showers made me walk in the rain back home. Over lunch, I started reading all the blogs of the Jetstar KK challenge and realised that not all the participants had made a blog entry about the trip! But there was at least one member from the team that wrote something. Except for the married couple. Their blog link has nothing! Hmm... that's quite weird! I wonder if they will be disqualified. After bb sent me home last night, he went back to writing his captions till about 3am before hitting the sack to go to work today at 8am. Poor baby.

So I told him, aren't he glad that we paid for the Batam trip ourselves and it's not come sponsored trip by BatamFast? Hahaha... then he might need to write another entry. Can see that he's really not used to writing, from the way he requires time to think of what to say and write. But I found the bit that he wrote excellent! It was nicely worded and flowed with the next paragraph. :)
