A new beginning~

Busy job

2010-09-22T23:11:00.002+08:00

It has been a month since i started this new job.. wow.. it's really busy.. very fast paced and i have to work OT most of the days. wonder will it take a toil on my health?? though i learnt and experienced a lot, i'm not sure whether such a job suits me.. i've got another job offer, which i've rejected because of its industry and because it has to be bonded for 2 years, though the pay is higher.. i sort of regretted but what to do?

Life is always about making choices.. u don't know whether the one u have chose is right because u kept thinking what will happen if u chose other choices.. :x

I'm thinking what birthday present i want.. i'm really busy to be thinking.. what should i want?

A long while

2010-08-29T00:25:00.004+08:00

It has been a while since I last updated my blog. Lots of things happened for the past year.. Major happenings: Married, moved in to parents-in-law house, ex company has closed down, jobless for 2 months plus.. & now just started a new job on Tuesday. It has been an eventful year. And during the 2 months that i was jobless, i was really depressed & worried plus the fact that my mother in law & people around me kept giving me pressure. And now this new job, i'm not so sure whether it suits me..haiz.. will be back again to update. i will make it a point to update regularly yeah!

Bad times

2009-10-30T17:24:00.000+08:00

Well, many things happened that I haven’t got the time to blog. The next day after our Outdoor shoot on 29 Sept, he incurred a terrible pain in his back. Has been delaying for some time for his back problem. He went to see TCM few times but no use. Then he went to SGH. There was a need to go to MRI as Xray could not see the problem. On a Sunday, was supposed to choose photos, then he can’t bear the pain any longer. So I suggested to go to SGH A&E but end up no use. Doctor just inject him with 2 doses of painkiller. It just made that part feel numb. Then after the MRI, doctor said that he has got a swollen muscle tissue in his spine. Doctor gave him 2 choices: go for injection to ease the swollen tissue or go for op to remove the swollen tissue. He chose the latter. So just before he went for op, we went to select photos finally. He just had an op on Monday, was discharged on Wednesday. And the things still on-going like he wanna vomit, having fever makes me feel worried and sian at the same time. When will he recover? I ponder.

Indoor Photoshoot at JB Fables

2009-09-27T23:52:00.005+08:00

Went to JB on Sun morning to have my last min gowns selection again. After which went to find Dear's friend. Then went to do my mani and pedi, intro-ed by his friend. Spent abt 2 hours there.. paisey leh.. having his friend wait so long. After which, we went back to his terrace house to have a rest. Yes, malaysians live in house and not flats. THen we went nearby to have dinner.. called 'Yi Jia'. We had chilli crayfish (thumbs up!!), curry fishhead, sambal kangkong, fried youtiao (nice), fried venison (nice), frog's meat (not legs only, but meat..). I think that's abt it.. it's cost only RM 121, converted to SG only S$50!! Plus, as it was hari raya puasa, so fireworks were going on.. we had the chance to walk around the vicinity after the hearty meal..

Well couldn't sleep at all in someone's house.. plus, it was the 2nd day of my menses.. thus was really tired the next day (My Indoor PS on 21 Sep - Hari Raya Puasa). We woke up quite late already but we managed to go to somewhere to have a quick breakfast. I had fish porridge, he had nasi lemak, and his friend had Da Bao..

During the PS we had to do many poses and the photograher commented my smile is not natural.. oh no.. hope my photos turn out well.. hmm.. *prays hard* After the shoot, we had KFC for dinner with Fables staff.. their KFC really tastes much yummy than SG!!

Finished my make-up!! Can see my double eyelids!!

I like this gown & hairstyle!

I like this gown but i dun like the hairstyle leh.. as dun suit my face~

This pink cheongsam makes me look slimmer!

Black gown!

I like this outfit the best, makes me look more nicer~

Photographer gave me this for free.. but i dun really like leh.. maybe he thought i short of 1 gown.. *see my story below~

Guess wat, the next day back at work, i realised i was short of 1 indoor gown which i think either they have forgotten or we had miscomm.. as another gal served me on Sun morning and she short count of 1 gown which i also missed out as i was having bad flu so very blur.. then i called them up.. and then they said i have correct no. of gowns as they given me the extra traditional gown which the photographer gave me for free.. i was bewildered.. anyway she agreed to give me the extra gown during my outdoor PS on Tues. Dunno whether there's enough time for it anot.. sianz..

Photoshoot

2009-09-18T17:54:00.001+08:00

Went for my gowns selection last Sunday. However, was quite unsatisfied with a few of them. I’m going in this Sunday again to select another time. And I will also be doing my mani, hopefully got slots available. Indoor photoshoot will be on coming Monday. I am nervous yet excited....

2009-09-02T16:52:00.000+08:00

Sunday finally went prawning with Dear.. though it was quite a while since I prawned, I still catch about 10 or more prawns (sharing a rod with Dear). Went to the one at Taman Jurong.. as Dear said can fish ‘tag’ on Sunday. In the end, we only got 1 tag, and I only spinned $2 only. And I also bought my first oven to use for baking!

Bought some utensils and ingredients to bake my first cake.. I tried to bake my very first cake, last night but it was a failure.. too embarrassed to take pics =( don’t know what went wrong.. but I will still continue to experiment with it, till succeed… wish me success!!

Am trying to learn to cook now, so I can cook nice dishes for Dear and my MIL if I moved in to their house..

Now frantically looking for MUA and PG for my AD.. it is a very HOT date so the good & cheap ones are not available already. =( I am too slow.. Yap.. I must faster confirm.. Actions must be very quick liao!!

Bothered...

2009-08-21T11:38:00.000+08:00

Up till today, almost a week.. still bothered by what ‘she’ says. 3 days I still bewildered by what exactly did I said? Every morning, I wake up I will try to recall that day, what did I say to her? This feeling is killing me.. In the first place, I shouldn’t have agreed to become Evan’s JM.. ya good deed never pays off.. how true this is~ And I think I will not be JM again for the rest of my life~

Tuesday, took half day to bring Father to check-up on his diabetes.. waited for almost 2 hours when there was an appointment made at 3.40pm! And he still needed to have blood test, bought his medicine, and glucose meter.. and we went back about 6 plus… After which I spent another hour distributing the medicine over 1 week…. Taught the maid how to use the glucose meter.. All this things happening at the same time is tiring me out.... I don’t know how much I still can bear.....

2009-08-17T12:53:00.000+08:00

Was Evan’s JM on 15 August… it was a very tiring day for me.. went to stay overnight on 14 Aug as her place was in Hougang and we need to meet at about 6am.. and Dear got reservist so I stayed there on Fri.. but in the end, never get to sleep at all.. as the room was too cold.. and Evan and Christal talked till about 2 plus… had some fun lah.. but eventually 1 of the JM got offended.. she did not said exactly who it was but actually I think she’s referring to me ba.. =( maybe I did not have enough sleep hence I said something wrong to her.. but I do not mean anything lor.. haiz.. i really don’t know how to please anyone… and till now I still dunno what did I say to her.. I am the sort who takes anyone said seriously and somehow it affects my mood very much.. Super blue and green Monday..

Sianz.. I feel I don’t wanna have a wedding liao.. no mood..

Updates for early August

2009-08-12T14:37:00.000+08:00

Some updates

1 Aug was Jo’s AD. Attended her banquet at My Humble House @ Esplanade. That night coincidentally was NDP preview, so I took MRT there, and walked all the way to Esplanade with WK and Jeff. As I was late, so we walked quite fast… in the end having blisters on my foot.. yucks.. as the insides of the sandals I was wearing has worn off thus cutting my poor foot.. now in the healing process.. Anyway, My Humble House has a good view of the SG River as well as the fireworks.. very spectacular view just b4 the dinner. The food was fusion styled, whereby each guest was served individually and I felt the food was fantastic. Lastly, congrats to Jo & Raymond!

Last Friday, 7 Aug was Evan’s Hen’s Night.. all gals prepared something for her… ha.. but too bad, she was not game enough to perform all the things we had prepared for her.. like getting guys to kiss her... Hen was supposed to do all sorts of crazy stuff on her last day as a bachelorette mah.. Anyway we just drank like nobody’s business.. I actually like the Mixers – Vodka mixed with Cranberry and Vodka mixed with Red Bull.. much better than the tequila shots / pop.. Went home giddily at about 1 plus and slept straight like a log.. Imagine I still need to work next day on Sat 1/2 day..

Saturday, after visiting Dad for short while @ Grandma's house, met up with Joyce for short dinner for KFC @ West Mall.. Had the coupons so we tried the Spicy drumlets.. preferred the Chilli Blast.. Later on, we had ice-cream at Udders.. surprisingly West Mall also had an outlet on 2nd floor.. Udders had also just opened an outlet just opposite my house.. I had Mao Shan Durian and Orange Bitter Choc.. Yumm..

Sunday, National Day 9 Aug, went with Dear to eat BBQ steamboat buffet @ Chong Pang, Turf City.. the food was ok only.. it was $18 per pax on PH / Weekends.. inclusive of free flow of soft drinks.. after that went to visit Dad.. Der was rushing off to work as he was working night shift..

Monday 10 Aug, was supposed to go with Dear for prawning @ Bishan, the one that Esther has mentioned.. I think it is @ Bishan Park.. Dear said we went before.. in the end, I had to meet up with Evan’s & her JM for discussion. Her AD will be on this Sat 15 Aug. Ya, Dear was unhappy. Initially he said ok, prawning can go the following week, then eventually he showed his true feelings… as we dragged till about 6pm plus as the JMs were choosing & buying their ‘blue’ dress... After which, suggested Adam Food Centre as we were driving towards there.. and we had prawn noodles.. 3 medium prawns + noodles cost $5 each! Had a slight shock.. and it taste so-so only..

some updates~

2009-07-29T00:10:00.005+08:00

Sorry esp to esther, been busy~ actually i've been more active at facebook.. if u got account, add me pls.. my email add: t_charis@hotmail.com.

Cooked spaghetti this evening for dinner for my family!! Was my virgin try at cooking spag.. we had the mushroom sauce and the cheese and herbs sauce.. it was fantastic, that's how i felt =p.. next time shall try something spicy? after ROM-ed, i learnt to love cooking hahaha.. hope to whip up something nice for Dear and my MIL in future.. =)

I had been spending money due to facial package / massage / hair / skin products etc.. we need to save up for our future house.. though we haven't got a house yet. Also, i need to leave money for my family.. because of dad.. Also, i am still hooked to online sprees.. -_-||

Know what? My skin has been popping up pimples for the past 2 months.. i believe it's because of the make up i had for my ROM in June.. i just hope my skin will clear up soon..

Been shuffling to-and-fro in JB.. like twice per month =p? not going to Fables studio, but to shopping malls like City Square, Jusco, etc.. the things there are damn cheap.. just ordered my contact lens again.. 6 mths + 1 mth free Biomedic toric lens at RM 220! cheap.. less than S$100! If SG, i bought at 100+ i think can't remember le.. i only know cheaper a lot..

Watched Transformers and Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince with Dear. The former was fantastic!! i didn't expect to be such a blast! but the latter was a disappointment.. the ending was so unexpected.. like unfinished??

Next upcoming will be my Photoshoot!! It will be in Sept.. postponed because of Dear told me he will be going to Reservist last min... =(

Had some misunderstanding with Dear for few days.. just cleared up misunderstanding.. yeah probably what we lack is trust?? ya.. married liao then talk about that? contradicting yeah?? all i know he loves me a lot... but can love conquer everything?? Questions are flooding in my mind~

Updates for May - Jun 09

2009-06-17T10:41:00.001+08:00

Missed my stop today! This is the third time (I think) that I missed my stop and had to take another bus back. But luckily it is not too far from my stop. These 2 days I am very tired, don’t know why. I skipped my Body Combat on Monday. Hopefully I have the energy to go today.

A few big events happened for the past month….:
- Dad was hospitalized. He has amputation twice, first on his toe, second on half of his calf.. At first, I was really upset now I’ve gotten over it..
- I am a married woman liao!! I got ROM on 5 June at Zhou’s Kitchen, Anchorpoint!! Everything went smoothly, except for some hiccups like it was too hot in the garden where we had our solemnization. Good friends & family came and share our joy. =) Everyone was generous with their tokens and i received 2 presents from my PL & J. =)

Shall cut it short here. Will try to update whenever possible. =)

2009-05-10T00:15:00.006+08:00

Went to Fables Bridal at JB with him on Thurs to choose my ROM dress.. we went to Old Town Coffee @ City Square to have brunch first.. i had nasi lemak redang.. bagus! He had the classic nasi lemak.. we had additional toast with curry chicken.. yummy!! Then we shopped around for his slippers and wanted to buy a shirt but to no avail as his size was unvailable!

So we chose a simple dress and had to be altered to my size.. wow.. i am fat lor.. dunno can manage to shed some fats within less than a month or not.. i also tried on some gowns for fun..

After which we had a hearty seafood dinner at Da Ma Hua Yuan..

Last night, had a simple celebraton for Sarah's 2nd Birthday at home.. ate very full (again)!

As for today, I just returned from dinner at 88 Restaurant with his family. It was a very full meal (again) but was a good one! We signed the agreement on the spot and i managed to ask more perks! =)) Heee

2009-04-22T13:28:00.000+08:00

Last evening after work, met up with Der at Vivo City. We had dinner at Dian Xiao Er – had Herbal Duck in Dangui, Dongpo Meat & Kai Lan with Salted Fish & Lime.. The Dongpo Meat was very tender and yummy! Thumbs Up! Later we went to Challenger to get a longer Cable for my Starhub.. After that, we went to collect our wedding bands at Lee Hwa, had a tough time deciding wat to engrave as the spaces were limited for my ring. In the end, we just settled to engrave the date only..

Last Sat, we went to Joey Yung’s concert at Max Pavilion, Expo.. The seats were very lousy and were non-elevated. Luckily Joey’s exceptional performance compensated for everything. Joyce and I bought the luminous flash sticks to show our support for her and the whole event was very happening! Her dance moves & Mandarin has improved tremendously! Her voice was powerful & she rocks! She also sang Stefanie Sun & Tanya’s songs. She was great.. wished her concert would be longer though.. dunno when she will come again for concert.. haiz…

2009-04-04T11:52:00.002+08:00

Last Sat, accompany J to JB to order her contact lens at CItysquare. We had late lunch at Old Town. She had Assam Laksa, and I had Chicken Curry Noodle. So sinful. This week I didn’t fulfill my diet plan….. it was to eat only salad / yoghurt for dinner.. haiz……. Anyway we went to Summit / Mix It to buy shoes/sandals. They were cheap and nice. Dinner we had Kenny Rogers I felt the portion was quite small but ok lah.. since I was full also..

Whereas for Sunday Der & I went to the Wedding Diary Asia at Suntec.. browsed some of the booths and I was quite interested in ‘Yvonne Creative’. The photos & gowns looked very nice! But still, we never confirmed as we wanted to go to JB to take a look first maybe it’s cheaper over there.. So till now I haven’t confirmed anything yet, until next week then go JB see if can negotiate for a ROM dress/make-up will be good.

Yesterday, met up with PL to go shopping at JL sale at PS. We went to have Lao Beijing to have dinner first. We had Peking duck (We ordered their Signature Braised Duck actually but the wrong dish came!! We didn’t make any noise as their Peking Duck was nice anyways!), Spinach Beancurd & their Signature XiaoLongBao Total bill is about $60.. still alright.. Bought some skincare products at JL and we went to Sasa to buy Suisse Programme.. I bought their Whitening series at only $90+.. original price was $209! Very worth it! Then we also bought their make-up remover at 31% off. PL said it was good. Ahh.. need to cut down on shopping ah..

Ohh.. & i saw Julian Hee (the guy acting as Sky in Perfect Cut) @ Vivo City last night! He looks the same as on screen & his smile is so mersmerizing! Hee..

Later accompany J to JB to collect her lenses!

2009-03-16T23:59:00.003+08:00

Last Sat, after my gym at Great World, Mum came & met up with me for dinner. We had Indonesian fare.. the food is ok only, with free flow dessert..

Sunday, went with Der to visit the venue.. & it doesn't seem so nice as what i've thought.. and it seems so hot on an afternoon.. & if it rains, the solemnization got to be move in.. Anyway we went to shop around at Vivo City for our wedding bands, went to Lee Hwa, Love & Co, Goldheart, Tianpo & finally Soo Kee.. After some discussion and dinner, we went to Food Republic to eat at 'Pu Tian', Chinese fare, as he doesn't want to squeeze with crowd -_-|||. In the end, we decided on the 'destinee' range at Lee Hwa!! Yippee!!!

Yeah, finished with my direct mailing today, will be tying up the loose ends of the promo by this Thurs!! Excited, hopefully the promo goes well as i've put in lots of effort!

2009-03-08T23:59:00.002+08:00

Some events to recap during the past month:

The proposal..
During Valentine's Day, we went to Hilltop restaurant and it was a disaster, as it was full house even when he has make a reservation.. then when we entered the place, it was like a food court, rowdy and crowded.. damn it was a wrong decision. After that we went to see a movie, Underworld- The Rising of the Lycans and Der just went down with one knee to propose but thinking back, i think he was just squatting... lolz.. Hee nothing much as he wasn't the romantic type..

Searching for venues / bridal studios etc is no mean task.. quite stressful.. hmmm..

Last Sat, went to re-permed my hair at Chapter 2, Jurong Point. Found Priscilla, creative stylist to do it.. as recommended in Les Dames . I also opted for intensive treatment.. and it came up to $300! but it was worth it, i felt as my hair feels so much better now..

On sat, we went to New York New York to have dinner as it was Samantha's early birthday celebration. Was glad that Der was able to join us for dinner.. before that, we went to browse 2 of the bridal studios in IMM, as there was not much time.. we just asked about the package, which came up to about the same price.. hmmmz..

Found out about my senior scandalous past.. wahaha.. i never thought she's this kind of person as i thought she's quite an upright person in these years that i've known her.. She's also nicknamed 'The Dowager' by some of the older staff wahaha.. My company may be facing a pay cut for all employees.. =(( And 1 of my colleague has got sacked, not retrenched!

Have told Joyce & PL about by ROM in june, though haven't confirmed the venue, but the date has been confirmed =))

Went to JB with PL today, i made a new specs at only RM199 and bought a CLINELLE moisturiser recommended by PL and spent more than my budget.. hmmm.... gotta save up already so other things need to be shelved for now.. btw as there was a bridal studio fair at City Sq, so i just took the chance to ask about the packages.. which is some difference from Sg.. ok still browsing..

Happy Chinese New Year!

2009-02-07T12:48:00.000+08:00

Happy Chinese New Year! GONG XI FA CAI!

Though a bit late, but I’m still in time before the 15th day :p!

Argh, stuck in the office on Sat.. sleepy.. last night watched Joey’s Starlight concert in HK’s DVD, this was my bd present last year :p. Wow her voice is so powerful.. she don’t even have any high notes that go out of tune after so many songs.. she can even dance quite well.. ha.. I’m impressed…. I can’t see any flaws in her singing till now.. Plus she is so slim.. *envy* The only thing is all her concert songs and talking are in Cantonese.. which I don’t understand wor..

To recap: -
The Sat before CNY, Der brought me to Sobasei at Fairway. The food was very good as usual.. Then we went prawning.. Saw Xiao Chen Uncle, wished him Happy New Year but no Ang Bao was given.. lolz

CNY eve:
Father, Mum and I went to Tian Jin Lou (Tian Jin Restaurant) at Chinatown to have our reunion dinner on CNY eve..As the roads were closed, we alighted at 2 bus stops away and had to walk a distance to the restaurant. There were crowds in the Chinatown area as anticipated. We squeezed past hordes of people and alas, we still have to wait for the 1st round of customers to clear as we were the 2nd round at 8pm. Anyway, the food is not bad.. except for the Seabass.. as the fish meat is pathetic! Thumbs up for the ‘Pork Ribs’ and ‘Asparagus in XO Sauce’. I simply like anything fried with XO Sauce. Anyway we didn’t shop around after that, only bought curry fish balls for takeaway…

1st Day:
Went visiting to Grandma’s house. No one was around till Sis and family came after half an hour or so.. Later more people came and Der came also.. Mum dragged him to play Mahjong with Uncle and the rest.. he lost $40! Had steamboat after that.. loved it.. Mum does not like to prepare steamboat only can eat at other place.. After that, Der has to go visting to his Grandma’s house so Mum dragged me to play Mahjong. Was the first time that I played without Der’s guidance.. Ha.. Won $20.. actually can win $40 but Aunt thought I don’t know how to play so initially we agreed upon 50% loss & profit.. Anyway it was a good start for the ‘Niu’ Year!

2nd Day:
Had agreed that he will come fetch me to his house. Last min, he told me he’s still playing Mahjong and couldn’t fetch me. He told me to take cab he will foot the bill. But I took bus and I wanted him to come downstairs.. in the end, I realized he’s playing halfway and everyone stopped playing because of me..
After playing, went a short while to visit his Grandma and Uncle before we proceeded to prawning at Lakeside again! This time caught many prawns we had Mee Soto for dinner.. Xiao Chen Uncle still never give me Ang Bao as promised.. hmp!

Last Sat 6th Day:
In the afternoon, went for Body Combat class at GWC.

Der’s mum was suddenly admitted to hospital. We went to visit her at SGH in the evening. She had high blood pressure.. We bought some pears and bird’s nest with rock sugar for her.. But din realized that she couldn’t consume anything sweet at the moment.. Went back to his house to have steamboat.. but there were no fish (my ‘Must Have’ for steamboat).

Last Sunday 7th Day:
Mum asked us to go to Sis house for steamboat for lunch but Der refused. He said he has bought lunch back and he do not like to go to their house! Ok.. so we stayed in his house watched DVD and tv.. till he suddenly developed rashes (on and off for few months liao) and we went to Jurong to see skin doctor recommended by Xiao Chen Uncle.. but it was closed.. we had dinner at the nearby hawker before heading back..

Heard from Der that his Mum’s condition turned for the worse she is in ICU ward now.. Hope she will recover soon.. Der visited a skin doc and was given a few courses of medicine.. he said he’s getting better now..

As for me, I din visit gym for the past 1 week. Lazy and was having menses.... Went to ‘Touche’ at Orchard on Wed and I wanted to get rid of my milia seeds so went for laser burning.. she said try for few for the first time. So now my right side of the face is so ugly with red spots.. she said will go away in 1 week’s time.. Hopefully…

Thinking of picking up swimming again.. checked with a female coach, cost $150 for 1-1 for 4 sessions. 45min/session.. she said best price liao.. is it expensive??

2009-01-21T00:03:00.003+08:00

Bored weekends~

Stayed at home the whole Sat to sleep.. Was supposed to go for free facial consultation at Bella, Jurong Point.. but decided against it as i do not have much cash at the moment and too lazy >_< In the end, i slept throughout the day.. later at night, went to Jurong Point in the end to ate at Dian Xiao Er again.. this time it's much expensive than previously.. as we ordered Thick Soup with Conpoy and Fish Maw, Roasted Duck in Ten Wonders, Eggplant in Claypot.. i still prefer the Roasted Duck in Angelica Herbs..

Sunday went with Der to Simei - Eastpoint to shop around.. was quite disappointed at the ulu shops there.. :( anyway we bought something for each other's family..

I bought a bottle of homemade Pineapple tarts from Prima Deli at Northpoint as i was collecting some stuffs from a spree organiser at her house in Yishun.. Eaten 3 pcs liao ;p i also bought a curry chicken pie from Piekia at Northpoint.. today at teabreak ate a bar of snickers.. growing fatter..

Arrghh.. i've grown fatter and pimples started to pop out in my face.. all because that i did not drink enough water hence no detox.. hmmm.. must control..

This week busy with pre CNY preparations - haha..
Mon (yesterday) - body combat at True Fitness
Tue (today) - pick up my Tokyo Fashion clothes from a spree organiser at Yishun (far..)
Wed - body combat at True Fitness
Thurs - pick up my PG mall bags from a spree organiser at Bukit Timah (luckily near my house)
Fri - redo my hair color again at Yoou at Jurong East..
Sat - if nothing on, go body combat again..
Sun (CNY eve) - Reunion dinner at Tian Jin Lou - Chinatown..

2009-01-17T01:18:00.003+08:00

Finally finished my busy work schedule for the CNY peak period~

Last Sat, after work went shopping at Jurong Point with PL.. initial plan was to go to Mustafa with Joyce.. but she suddenly said she was sick.. Anyway we had a good time shopping for clothes from HURS.. their clothes are really pretty.. got 10% off my top as PL got their membership card as she spent $120.. After shopping about, in the evening we went to Dian Xiao Er and tried out their specialty: Roasted Duck in Angelica Herbs.. it's really yummy..

Sunday went to have a stroll along Marina's river.. near Singapore Flyer. As he had to attend a dinner with his boss in the evening *shrugs* we have gelato to pass time and an early dinner for myself at Popeyes! So great that they actually have a 2nd outlet here.. it's definitely beat KFC hands down. Yummy.. And as you can know, my diet plans came to a halt again.. probably start again after CNY.. sianz..

Oh went to La Senza just now after work and bought 3 bras for $69.. and got additional 10% for Standard Chartered cards.. there's really lots of sale + temptations everywhere..

2009-01-01T13:38:00.001+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY FRIENDS! MAY ALL YOUR WISHES COME TRUE IN 2009! *HUGZ*

X'mas Gathering

We had 3 servings of mix sashimi platter, 4/5 plates of black pepper beef, sushi, california rolls etc... Each pay about $39. We had a mini gift exchange.. i received Jo's one. It was a cute bear with toiletry set.. so kawaii.. love pink! ZX got my present, it was a toiletry set also, olive tree set bought from Tangs. Jo got thumbdrive from Jeff. Jeff got Taka voucher from WK. And WK got a bear coin bank from ZX..

Later we went to Starbucks for a cuppa of caffeine before proceeding home..

Tried out the criss-cross fake eyelashes for the first time.. Jo thought i had a dbl eyelid surgery!

Thoughts~

2008-11-23T22:42:00.005+08:00

Was at New York New York, lot 1 last Fri celebrated Sophia's birthday. Bought her a UNO Spin at Toys 'R Us! And witnessed a proposal at the table next to ours.. the guy sprung a surprise by turning up and singing with an old song "Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin" It was so sweet of him.. And naturally, the girl agrees to his proposal.. Just read my friend's blog, her bf also propose to her! So happy for them! Love is in the air~

i wonder whether 'he' will sprung this sort of surprise on me.. i doubt so as he's very unromantic and i dun think we will be getting married anytime soon.. as getting married requires a lot a lot of money which he do not have right now...

Anyway we just met up and we went to IMM to have dinner at Street... i had stone rice with portugese chicken. He had Chicken Curry with Rice. Also had spare ribs and jelly fish.. Total $30+. And we went to Daiso to shop around before heading home..

Happy Birthday

2008-09-30T09:29:00.002+08:00

No work for 2 days! Yeah.. but gotta wake up early as meeting joyce to go JB today! Planning either to go KTV otherwise go shopping + movie.

Last Saturday, met up with Vanda, Yoke, Joyce to celebrate Vanda's bd.. We went to Shimbashi Soba at Paragon. Intro by V for it's good food. I ordered Tempura Soba as i'm craving for tempura. The soba was chilled + the sauce makes it really yummy. V had a cake cutting session, J chose a tiramisu for her at Emicakes, but it dun taste like tira wor.. first bite was nice but after which.. the rich cream makes me really sick.. After which we went for a quick shop at John Little as they were having sale! Got Ginvera eye gel & sheet mask, Olay body shower, biore sunblock!

Sunday met up with Dear for prawning.. though i didn't caught a lot, but i caught 2 tags, one $2 and the other $30! Got his money back for him.. haha. Later i drove his car and got nagged at him for driving dangerously.. yeah probably i was, but he did not nagged at me.. like an old woman.. sianz! :(

Anyway early happy birthday to myself & Joyce tomorrow!

Eventful weekend

2008-09-25T22:36:00.005+08:00

Last Mon, i collected my Celeb bags from a nice lady:

Spy Bag.. got the black one.. initially chose the white and black one.. but she said out of production and 2nd choice was the white one.. and she said the chain was different from the pic.. so in the end got the black one.

And Motorcycle Bag.. i got the white one.. it was gorgeous.. i just love things white.

Last Saturday, after work went for a bit of shopping. Bought myself a pair of white sandals from URS. Lovee white so much.. Next got myself eyebrow, eye liner pencil and
a lipgloss from Beauty Credit.. just to stock up my purchases.

Met Dear after that and we proceeded to have dinner at Taman Jurong.. ha the claypot chicken rice.. long queue waited for abt 20 min.. and it's really not so good as i thought.. but still nicer than others.. hee

Then we went for prawn fishing. Saw Uncle Xiaochen.. though we didn't talk much as he's busy "entertaining" with his kakis, wife and even coaching a new kaki, but he's still as witty as ever.. haha. Remember the last time we had a long chat was when Dear went fishing and we talked about his children.. Such a loving father + nice looking! I always thought i lack father love, hence he was like such a nice daddy to me (though he looks too young to be my dad ba.. didn't ask his age though) Aww..

Anyway i caught 18 prawns in less than 3 hours as i was sharing a rod with Dear. Broke my record.. haha!! Total we caught 30 over prawns + $11~

Next day, without anything to do, we went to prawn fishing again.. it was so bored! Caught only 5 prawns.. but got $5! Total i think caught 15 prawns.. Brought all home for Mum.

Then we went to Ichiban Sushi at Jurong Point! Redeemed a California Roll surprised it was so yummy.. Never did like California Roll wor.. Anyway we ate quite a lot (as usual)- about 10 sushis and cheese karage bento set. Total damage was $49+ and it was my treat lor. But never mind, once in a while is fine.. just to relieve his "pocket" Haha

Tomorrow bringing Mum, Sis and the children to eat at Fortune Cuisine again (went there for the first time with Joyce on 14/9/08) at Sunset Way - My birthday treat.. it's my treat.. lolz

And this is collected last month

Rants~

2008-09-16T22:59:00.003+08:00

Damn, I really hate my senior - same age as my mum. She left me a note yesterday or maybe today during lunch, as i only noticed it in my drawer after my lunch:

"Charis, Please do not check your hp often (maybe sms) during working hours. Thanks. P/S: The 2 Jap directors may see it and the office is congested now."

It's totally uncalled for. Why? The office is really damn boring already - cannot surf net, cannot chat with other colleagues/ chat on the phone as she will eavesdrop. Felt that i got no freedom... as long as it's not affecting my performance, why can't i do my personal things at my own discretion?

Boo~

A weekend of yummy food

2008-09-14T23:27:00.002+08:00

Hands and body aching after a session of tennis yesterday with my uni-mates. Damn tired.. After that, we went to have dinner at Tian Jin Lou at Pagoda Street. It was nice and affordable which was my birthday treat = ) After that we roamed around Chinatown area and settled down at a dessert shop. I had Mango Puree with Beancurd and the rest had Mango with Pomelo.. Yummy and really cools me down.

Just now went to Sunset Way, Fortune Cuisine with Joyce. We had BBQ and steamboat. The food is quite nice. Each person only $28 which was quite cheap. We had sashimi-salmon, sushi, and yakiniku beef, mongolian beef, eel, crayfish, scallops, satay etc and meatballs, vege, mushrooms etc for steamboat. We talked about our work which was rather depressing. Hope things go well for her. And wish myself all the best too... .

Gorging Non-stop

2008-09-13T10:45:00.004+08:00

Though a bit early - Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!~

Have been eating a lot this week.. Last Sat went to have lunch at Thai Accent at Vivo after my work with my supplier, Joanne. We had Tom Yam soup, Green curry, braised tofu, Pineapple Rice. Looks like a lot for both of us. In the end, we didn't manage to finish all. Anyway got to know some things about her. =)

Went to JB on Sun with Dear. He drove. We went to Citysquare got his PS2 games and i got myself a software =p. And we discovered 'Innercity', which i've never discovered before.. lots of eateries and shopping outlets.. so cool. Next time must visit there with J & PL. =) And i feel like going to Jusco one of these days.. Anyways we had early dinner at Sushi King - it was my treat. But i think the food sucks.. =( And we bought some mooncakes as there was a mooncake fair going on. I think the packaging are so exqusite. Will take a photo if i have time.. =)

On Tues - had KFC Delivery even after dinner.
On Thurs - had Canadian Pizza Delivery. The pizzas are so yummy, and the potato wedges + tempura cod nuggets just makes me salivate.

And had been eating mooncakes everyday!!

And later, will be meeting uni-mates for tennis session and dinner!! I must perservere for my slimming plan!!

National Day

2008-08-10T21:55:00.002+08:00

Spent the weekend with Dear. Though we had a row sometime back in the week as i complained doing his activities almost all the time during the weekends..

Anyway we went to prawning on Sat.. not much luck in catching prawns but we managed to catch 31 bucks which covered the cost of 1 rod, also 1 free ticket for 1 hr .. haha.. then we gave all the prawns to Joyce. After which, we proceeded with PL to eat the bbq steamboat at Jurong. However, it was very disappointing... esp the soup base sucks. But i like the cooked food especially the fried chicken wings, though i didn't eat a lot, as was quite full.. We talked about plans to go for a holiday in Sept. Hence, probably won't be going with Dear to Genting.

Sunday, went to his Grandma's house for the praying to his Grandfather. I dread going there. Was full of ciggies smoke by Dear in the room. Yeah, sometimes i dislike him. And i was so bored.

08/08/2008 (Fri – eve of National Day)

2008-08-08T16:22:00.000+08:00

Such a nice combination of numbers today – 080808. This date will never happen again in my lifetime. What's more, today is the much awaited $8M toto draw. Wish me fa fa fa lah….. I could do with some help if I have just extra $50,000 now:

1. Clear all debts to Grandma & Aunt amounting to approx 8K
2. Put aside some for conversion to yearly premium appox 3.5K
3. Give a portion to mum – 5K
4. Go on holiday (places I’ve wanted to go: Europe, South Africa or Japan) – 5K
5. The rest – save up for rainy days.

Happy early National Day to SG! Why must National Day falls on a Saturday? Guess what, my company doesn’t give us off-in-lieu for this PH. Sianz.

Tired. Just completed the Rush Ranch last night. Slept at 1.15am. At this rate, maybe I will break down sooner or later.

Face getting better. Applied ZA Whitening Essence every morning religiously. Looks like it kinda of worked. I also think the new Nivea Sparkling White night cream is good, not oily at all and makes my face softer every morning when I wake up =). Bought it at JB cheaply, thought it was endorsed by Jesseca Liu so thought I would try it.

Financial Woes

2008-08-03T15:33:00.002+08:00

Spent a bomb yesterday, yet again, on a facial package at Touche. I dun really regret as the lady gave me rather a good deal: 15 sessions for $1020. Initially was $88.80. And 1 session takes at least 1.5 hrs, which was rather long, including eye treatment and ampoule. I really love it there.. very relaxing.. but i still missed the 1st therapist who did it for me =) She was really nice and did a good job for me.. too bad she has left to give birth =(

But.. now i'm rather broke.. recently really bothered by the financial issue thingy..

Monthly expenses
1. Debts to be cleared - Aunt and Grandma
2. Insurance premiums
3. Mum's allowance
4. Handphone/Broadband/Mio TV bills
And now, facial package and massage package!!

On top of it what about my daily expenses, shopping expenses?

God.. i really need more money!!

~+~+~+~+~+~+

Talking about facial, my skin gotten worse.. i don't know why, scared the hell out of me. There's many bumps and pimples appearing on the cheek. If it doesn't improve, perhaps i will go visit the skin doctor.

~+~+~+~+~+~+

Met up with my university mates yesterday for diinner. Food was really good at Hog's Breath, Chijmes. Celebrated Zhaoxin and Weixiang's birthdday. And we got complimentary Mud cake and Apple Crumble.. So nice of the staff =) Total damage was $180 ++ which was quite reasonable =) Ok next session, will be a tennis session. 2nd one, though Jo and Weixiang never turned up.

~+~+~+~+~+~+

My neck is getting longer.. waiting for my PG mall and BIBI bags from TW auctions.

~+~+~+~+~+~+

Later meeting Dear for diinner.. it's been 2 weeks since i last saw him.

Flea-ing

2008-07-19T09:06:00.005+08:00

Flea Market at Far East Square from 10am - 8pm (19 & 20 Jul)

Will be heading down to Far East Square flea market later with PL just to clear my stuffs.. hopefully can earn some profit lah.. If anyone of u gals free, do come and visit us.. as i think i will be bored (maybe catching flies!) Will be selling mostly 2nd hand clothes and story books as well.. etc. =)

And oh, just to update, went for a 2 color tone and trim some fringe last Sat at Yoou as usual.. She did a great job especially with the highlighting. I love it! Poor J and PL waited for me for about 3 hours (Yoou only take appointments and she dun attend to walk-ins) before we headed to Boon Lay Shopping Centre to have our dinner.

And on Sunday, i bugged Dear to accompany me to the Far East flea market.. was really not confident of the sales there wor.. very quiet and most sell those knick-knack items and even antiques. After which, we headed to Lakeside for prawning session again. Total we caught 16 for 2 hours, for 1 rod.. To me, it's quite an accomplishment already =)

Holidays are over at my office.. as the irritant is back from her 1 week plus holiday. She went to Korea with her daughter.. sometimes i wish she can retire early. Once she comes back, she yakked & complained non-stop.. everyone's mood has plunged.. =(

Der's BD

2008-07-08T22:03:00.002+08:00

Recap in April 08.. Dear's Birthday having BBQ...

While Der is busy entertaing, we took a few photos of (Joyce and myself) haha..

Dear BBQ-ing Marshmallow

Batam

2008-07-08T21:15:00.002+08:00

I love Batam! I love Harris Resort!

Went to Batam on 28 - 29 Jun. Though was an extremely short trip, we had a good time laughing, eating, relaxing at the resort.. Went for bowling, foot reflexology, full body massage at the resort.. The massage was done outdoor, such a unique experience! (see photos below)Bought a pair of sandals at the resort (only buy i had at Batam) Had a good seafood dinner at Golden Prawn.. I like the Sambal Kangkong & Claypot Tofu. Spent the last day shopping at the Batam Mega Mall but didn't bought anything there.. had to accompany Mum back on Sunday as she needs to be back then.. while my aunties and uncle had a day extension, they went to color their hair and had another day of shopping =(

Some nice photos of the resort and the massage outlet.

My new love

2008-06-12T22:41:00.002+08:00

Yeah starting to love prawning and i'm getting better at it.

Hee.. the prawn i caught with Der, PL & J, in Apr at Lakeside.

And last Sun, went with Der to Farmway at Pasir Ris, and i caught almost 10 just for half an hour (share with Der). Then we went to Pasir Ris Park.. saw such a big pond for fishing. Looks so fun. Will try next time if got chance :)

After that, we went to Changi Airport planning to pick up his parents from their holiday in Kaoshiung. Then realise they already have transport. Before that, i wanted to try Popeyes Chicken, as heard raves on it. As we were late, we went to dabao first, planning to eat in the car after seeing them. His mother bought a bracelet for me.. so touched.. she always buy things for me from holidaying. Anyway, i love Popeyes. It was so yummy. Beat KFC hands down haha. But Der thought was about the same. And i love the fries, tasted like twister fries from MacDonalds. Hee.

A second chance?

2008-05-30T22:29:00.002+08:00

Initially, when i watched Mediacorp's TV series, 'Rhythm Of Life', thought that it is another love story. Then i became intrigued when i get to know the sypnosis. Just saw the last episode, and i felt that it's a lame show after all. Second and now third chance? OMG. All in all, at least it's a happy ending.

Well, i believe that, most people will beg to have another chance in life, even if it means that losing some things or even, loved ones during this event. Argh, but not for me, at least for now. I believe i am still contented with my life. And, most importantly, i wouldn't wanna lose my loved ones in return for a second chance..

What about you?

2008-04-27T10:42:00.003+08:00

It's been some time.. that i've blogged.. many things happened.. 1) shifted office 2) Darl's birthday (bbq) 3) working out (though now i only go once a week) 4) self-grooming.. (lolz)

I'm really starting to think where i'm heading towards to? in terms of my life.. especially in work.. everyone thinks i getting a nitty gritty salary. I do think so too, especially i dun really like marketing now.. but i dunno where to venture into..

Lesser photos are taken now, i don't feel the interest to take photos lately.. even if i do take photos, i'm too lazy to upload them to my computer.

I hope to take better charge of my life in the near future, hopefully.

Love my perm more...

2008-03-07T23:22:00.002+08:00

Yeah, as the title goes.. i love my perm more as the days passed.. actually it depends on whether i can get the style i want.. but at least now my hair condition looks better now. And i didn't go back to the Auntie to reperm.. coz she gave excuses like 'my hair will get very dry', 'maybe your left hand is not very smooth compared to your right hand', 'try tying the left side of the hair to make it more curly..'

~*~*~*~*~*

Just went for a swim with PL. Hope everything turns out fine for her. =)

Did a major decision...

2008-02-21T20:53:00.002+08:00

I did a major decision last sat - perming my hair.. but sadly.. the effect doesn't turn out as good as expected.. in fact i feel that the left side is wavy and not as curly as the right side. And most of my hair is damaged by the harmful effects of perming.. i'm most probably going back to perm the left side again.. hopefully the hair is not damaged again..

Happy Valentine's Day

2008-02-14T22:41:00.002+08:00

That's what he got delivered to my office on yesterday - 13 Feb. He said they can't deliver on the actual day coz they are full.. what sort of reason was that.. anyway was really surprised to receive this bouquet of flowers.. =)

Today, he couldn't make it in time for our V day celebration, as he was on RT. Thus we postponed to tomoro instead. Anyway he met me late today just to have dinner with me on this special day. I appreciate his thoughts.. =)

Happy Valentine's Day to All!

My luck prediction in Rat year

2008-01-23T22:57:00.000+08:00

Rooster in Rat Year
General

This year, you are especially popular and there will be much socializing to do this year. Everybody wants to be your friend. Everybody wants to be part of your projects. Everybody wants to be associated with you one way or another. This is a great time to build rapport, to meet new people and to be involved in teamwork. If you are in sales or business, this is a perfect time to increase your client base or to build your contacts. During this great time, there is one lurking potential danger that might cause a downfall in your good luck. It is that there are also signs of vices such as gambling, drinking, smoking etc. Do not engage in a moment’s pleasure that might cause you a lifetime’s regret. This year, there is also much gossip and rumors revolving around you. Do not participate in it. Always be responsible for your words and actions. Do not push your luck and get involved in illegal activities. Also do not get involved with people that you should not be around with.

Career

This is a good year in terms of career. You are be welcomed by your peers, vendors and clients. It is a great time to build rapport, to increase you client base and to participate in teamwork. Most of the time you will realize that your popularity is so strong that colleagues or your peers will volunteer to do the work for you. There will also be more entertaining this year. It is important not to indulge too much in it. Always uphold your professionalism and utilize your popularity in a positive way. There is a high chance that there are some office rumors about you flying around. Do not get involved in any “indecent proposals”.

Wealth

Your wealth luck is good this year. There is a good chance that you will be able to increase your savings this year. However, there are a few possibilities to foil you plans. One is that there is a high tendency that you might overspend on entertainment and socializing. Another is also not to get involved with illegal activities or people that you should not be with or else you might need to spend a huge amount to buy yourself out of trouble.

Relationship

For those in relationships, there is a high tendency that there will be a third party or the relationships may be hurt by rumors and gossip. It is important to be faithful, honest and maintain clear communication with your spouse or partner. If any misunderstandings arise, try to clear the air soon. Do not take your spouse or partner for granted. For those who are single, this is a great time for you to get out there and meet new people. There is a high chance that you will meet that special someone.

Health

Do not overindulge in drinking, overeating and staying up late. Do not drink and drive. Remember that maintaining a healthy lifestyle will prolong your popularity and good luck. If you have elders at home, take care of their health and safety.

People

People will like to gossip and spread rumors about you because you are the hot topic of the town. There is a price to pay for being famous. You are responsible to keep your image and watch yourself closely. Even if you do not, many curious pairs of eyes and ears will not stop prying into your matters.

Action

Place a Hematite, Pagoda, prosperity garden and Amber in your office or room.
You could contact us for more advise if you require any advice on which items to purchase to enhance your fortune in areas such as wealth, health, relationships and career and to lessen your difficulties

+~+~+~+~+~+~+

Yeah, call me superstitious.. just hope everything will change for the better soon..

A bad start to 2008~

2008-01-22T21:11:00.000+08:00

Hey, i'm back finally! Just got a new notebook from Acer roadshow at IMM on Sunday at $1,598. Got a scratch & win and got myself $88 with free optical mouse. Hope i got myself a good buy, as i dun really know much on computers! Finally my old pc can retire liao!

Talking about 2008, it's such a bad start of the year. Here are a couple of things to prove:

- Made a huge mistake at work, and almost got into trouble with the Govt, however, it's not my work scope to start with. Was just helping out with the extra workload.

-Last week, there's this bump in the corner of the eye initially, then yesterday and today got worse, where my eye swells and it's very painful. But now it has healed a lot after my colleague gave me her 'miracle eyedrop'!

I wish, i wish all the bad luck will just vanish when the Rat year start, as it's said that the Rooster will be having good fortune for the Rat year...

+~+~+~+~+~+~

Just a lighter note, i finally got my stuff from all the TW sprees..

+~+~+~+~+~+~

Currently my favourite car - Subaru R2

cute! i like the white one!!

Countdown at St James Power Station

2008-01-01T23:47:00.000+08:00

Countdown was at St James with my sisters, PL and Joyce. It has been sometime since we club. Thought it will not be fun. Surprising, it was rather fun at Dragonfly, and we saw PL's friend over there, whom we were treated to free drinks. The gals were so high, slipping ice-cubes down the bodies! Haha!

Darl brought J and myself back at about 2+ am, whom i've lost communication with through sms-es coz of high volume of sms-es sent for the past hours.

So tired for the whole of today. Woke up at 11 plus am, then went back to sleep till 3+ pm for late lunch then slept at 6pm till 7plus. Now still feeling sleepy.. Yeah, that's how i spent my new year.

Almost 24 hours in 2008~

2008-01-01T23:40:00.000+08:00

Happy 2008, my dear friends. May all your wishes come true and may happiness be with you in every minute of this new year!

Holiday Season~

2007-12-26T23:45:00.000+08:00

Caught The Golden Compass with Darling on Hari Raya Holiday but i don't really fancy it. I prefer Alvin & The Chipmunks.

+~+~+~+~+~

Met up with my uni-mates for brief lunch on Sat at Paragon, Bakerzin. Then we went to Cineleisure HK Cafe for some drinks. It was a long time already. Looks like all of us have some problems breaking the ice... Anyway we exchanged X'mas presents and WK got my 'skull-head' and i got ZX's mini kettle.

+~+~+~+~+~

On sun, went with Darling for fishing at Marina Bay. Guess what, my line caught this 'bubble fish'. It looks so scary!! Darling say it is poisonous! Luckily he cut it off and it got stuck onto the stones there... gross.. Anyway we didn't catch anything, then it started raining heavily. Hope we can go there again soon...

+~+~+~+~+~

X'mas eve, had a hearty X'mas dinner with my family & Darling came over as well.. We had Turkey, Ham, Sashimi & Home made Chocolate Fondue. Yummy!! Oh.. by the way i've grown fatter (gained a few kg) since i've stopped going PF.. =( Going to start again real soon...

+~+~+~+~+~

On X'mas Day, Darling brought me to Square 2. It looks big but nothing much to shop there. It looks similar to BKK.. Then we went to Mt Faber, took a cable car. Waited the tallest X'mas tree in SG to light up at 8pm+. It was my first time to Square 2 and also my first time to take a cable car. Both of us were MT (mountain tortoises). Haha.

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-26T09:30:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas to All! Esp to Wintr3z, Esther, Peiling, Joyce and My Darling!

More updates will be up!

Alvin & The Chipmunks

2007-12-19T22:01:00.000+08:00

Watched this with Joyce last Sat at JB. Love the chipmunks esp Theodore! Adorable!!

My rating: 4/5 stars

Please let me know if you've seen any of their stuff selling in stores! Thanks!!

Straying Thoughts

2007-12-08T14:01:00.000+08:00

Recently, my heart flutters whenever i spoke on the phone with a guy whom i barely known for only a few months through work. Guess what, he's few years younger than me, which i find it impossible to accept. I will not even consider having a future with him. But his happy-go-lucky character and willing-to-work attitude makes me attracted to him. Feel really comfortable talking to him. And most of all, he notices small changes about my appearance which Mr Toh will never even notice. Just like, i've cut my fringe last week, and he will notice. Or when i change my working heels, he will also notice it. =). In short, i'm happy when i think of him. Just like the initial period when i get to know Mr Toh. But sadly, he's changed. Or rather, both of us has changed.

I seldom see Mr Toh nowadays. His mind is full of work. And we argue over the slightest issue. I can't accept his attitude. Just like last week, J and i went to JB and he promises to send us back at Woodlands or Kranji. Then just because i was watching a movie when he called at about 7 plus, he screamed into the phone. Initially i already told him, i do not know what time we will reach SG. He is so unreasonable! Then he told me he is working the next day early in the morning, so does that allow him to behave in that behavior. Sorry i can't accept your attitude! We are drifting further and further apart. Period.

Bangkok Part 2

2007-11-25T19:44:00.000+08:00

Day 3 (9 Nov 07, Fri)

We decided to go to Siam Square to shop a bit before proceeding to Chinatown.

Took this shot while on the way to Siam Sq

Didn't take any pics while in Siam Square.. forgot to take my camera out.. =p

We went to take the BTS to Saphan Taksin at 45 baht (1.95 sgd) then take a river boat to Chinatown.

Can u see my nailart? Haha. Not to digress, the boat cost 18 baht (0.80 sgd) per pax.

We walked a bit and found sum peng lane. This should be it..

We had a simple lunch fare of bee hoon soup at 45 baht each (1.95 sgd). Then i bought sweet corn at only 20 baht (0.80 sgd). But guess wat, the auntie added condensed milk to it, which makes it so sweet for us!!

After shopping for some accessories, we also went to Yao Wa Rat to get some dried products, such as 'gao sai' and cuttlefish. Then we went back to hotel via cab at 5 plus. It was a wrong time to take cab, as most cabs weren't willing to go by meter. Finally found 1 willing to take us. Trip cost 70 baht (4 sgd)

This is our early dinner. Bought all these at Chinatown. I love the Fried Carrot Cake the best (with beansprouts!).

My buys at Siam Square

My buys at Chinatown - Hair Accessories at less than 1 baht each, earrings (for gifts) at 48 baht for 12pcs, bag at 250 baht, earring stand at 250 baht.

After a hearty dinner and rest, we proceeded to Siam Paragon. Main purpose is to visit Ocean World. But the entrance fee is too ex so we decided just to walk around..

Walked by Siam Discovery..

Took this along the way to hotel

Along the way, we decided to get some food for supper again!

Pad Thai - 35 baht (1.5+ sgd)

Wanton Mee - 30 baht (1.3 sgd)

Fried Rice & Tom Yam Soup bought at the seafood restaurant along the road to our hotel. (Total abt 200 baht - 8.70 sgd)I love the fried rice and tom yam soup the most. The soup was sour and spicy and the fried rice have crab meat!

My souvenirs from Ocean World, though we didn't went in! =p

After supper, we went to have a foot massage at the massage place just below the hotel. This place looks like it has a lot of customers from the hotel! It cost 200 baht including a shoulder massage.

Day 4 (10 Nov 07, Sat)

It was the last day. We couldn't negotiate for a late check-out. So we decided to set off late in the morning, check out and leave our luggage at the counter and then to Chatuchak Weekend Market. By cab cost 100+ because of expressway toll fee.

We had brunch here, and ordered glass noodles (tang hoon) at 35 baht each (1.5+ sgd)

His was with pork meat

And mine was seafood.

In the end, saw that this was actually their soup and we treated them as main dish!

Kawaii doggies spotted!

I love this spring rolls the best. Very crispy! Glass noodles & mixed Vege + Curry. Forgotten the price though..

It was really hot and i was perspiring already. Decided to go back, this time by BTS.

Passed by CTC Park

Can't rem how much BTS cost.. maybe 45 baht (1.95 sgd)each

We decided to have our last dinner in BKK here, BBQ buffet steamboat

Only 89 baht (3.90 sgd) each!

Simply love their squids!

Total meat cost only 230 baht (10 sgd), including 1 bottle of coke!

We finally made our way back to hotel and took cab to the Airport liao! The Airport is really beautiful!

Home Sweet Home!

My buys at CTC. Mostly are souvenirs. I like the handphone straps and the purses the best!

Bangkok Part 1

2007-11-18T18:39:00.000+08:00

Day 1 (7 Nov 07, Wed)
It was 4 plus in the morning, and i was forced to get out of bed to rush to the Airport to catch our 7am flight to BKK! Der's parents were kind to drive us there. We checked in, after a long queue. Der's parents said wanted to eat breakfast at the Airport as they said meals in the plane (Jetstar) were ex. It was already 6.15am. Der & I gobbled everything up in less than 10 min.

We realised our seats were seperated. He was seating behind. But the good thing was both of us had window seats. We don't have to fight. Haha.

Not sure where is this? But it must be part of Thailand. =p

While waiting for our baggage..

It was only 10 plus when we arrived at Samran Hotel! And we were told no king sized bed, so we were forced to go out and come back at a later time!

We walked a bit to near Asia Hotel, as we were a bit lost how to get to MBK. A tuk tuk driver coerced us to take his tuk tuk to MBK for 20 baht (0.80+ sgd). In the end, he drove us to a gems factory. I kept nagging at Der why he was so foolish to take this Tuk Tuk! We quickly made a quick exit at the gems factory. The driver then finally took us to MBK!

While in the Tuk Tuk

MBK

Saw Dunkin Donuts and we bought a few donuts to fill our hunger for less than 100 baht (less than 5 sgd). In the end, we didn't finish the donuts. =p

Found Mr Meng and we had a cheap and yummy lunch for 100+ baht (less than 10 sgd)

We didn't managed to shop a lot as were both shagged from the lack of sleep. We went to Plaza 29 which was linked from Level 2, Watsons to do my nailart. We walked back to the hotel after that.

While walking back

Loved our hotel room, it was big, spacious, clean and come with a bathtub!

My buys at MBK (Din buy a lot)

Souvenirs for my nieces

My nailart at Plaza 29. Cost 250 baht! (12 sgd)

After a power nap, we went out for seafood dinner near Samran Place.

Fried omelette (Very yummy, not oily at all)

Tom Yam Soup (Sour & Spicy, yummy)

Fried Squid (yummy)

Steamed Seabass (i think it was yummy, but Der said otherwise)
Total cost $400++ baht ($20++ sgd)

Anyway we had a full dinner and we proceeded to Suan Lum Night Bazaar! Took cab and only cost 61 baht ($2.65 sgd) despite the traffic jam.

pretty hor?

Saw a mini concert, but in Thai.. but very happening..

Took a cab and Der was again coerced for 100 baht (4+ sgd)! i nagged at him, as usual!

My buys at Suan Lum

Day 2 (8 Nov 07, Thur)

Woke up at 8 plus. We proceeded to go to Erawan Shine early in the morning.

While on the way to Erawan..

After that, we proceeded to Central World, Zen & Isetan nearby

Movie poster at Central World

Model of the three buildings

We had gelate, but it wasn't nice at all for 60+ baht (2+ sgd

Gelate (Oreo & Hazelnut)

Kawaii!

While at Isetan, i found PL's ELLE wallet!

Saw another statue outside central world, we prayed again.

Saw Pratunam Market, while on the way to Platinum Mall..

Platinum Mall

Had KFC for lunch instead of the food court, coz there's a lot of people. And Thais used cutlery to eat the Fried Chicken, which was very hygienic. The meat is very tender and fresh unlike SG!

After that, we proceeded to Pratunam Market & Center. However, i couldn't get anything there at all..

Can u see the rows of shops along Pratunam Market?

We walked back to hotel and bought streetside snacks.. Fried Oyster for 35 baht (Less than 2 sgd)

Fried oyster but i don't like it with beansprouts...

Our dinner.. i loved the durian. Very nice! Forgotten the price though but was cheap! ETA: Der said it cost 60 baht (sgd 2.60)

Afraid not enough, we ordered fried rice for room service. Gave the staff 120 baht.. (it was 110 baht) (4+ sgd) and she din come back with our change already.. haha

same design belt bought at outside Central World cost only 50 baht (2+ sgd), compared to Suan Lum bought at 140 baht (6 sgd)!

My buys at Platinum Mall

After a rest, we went to Memorial Night Bridge, cost 65 baht (slightly more than 2 sgd)

Didn't really like this place coz it was so crowded & squeezy.

Took cab back cost more ex.. about 75 baht (more than 3 sgd)

Our supper - Loved the crackers & quail eggs, don't like the 'white kuay'. In the end, we realised it was squid eggs.. *puke*

Had diarrhea in the middle of the night. Ate too much junk food!

My only buy at Memorial Night Bridge - only 180 baht (7+ sgd)

Will be back again with Day 3 & 4! =)

My B&J.. sinful~

Saw this Audi car when we were on the way to Oosh.. and PL requested me to take a photo of it.. hehe..

Finally reach Oosh!

At Oosh.. love the background of this pic

See.. so beautiful..

Bought a hairdryer.. my belated BD gift! But i'm getting lazy to use it.

Last Sun, brought ZX to PF at Suntec as she suddenly said she wanted to go gym to work out. In the end, i dragged her to Body Combat class and she said she felt good to work out! Hehe.. Going to go with her again this Sat!

+~+~+~+~+~

Some pics to share during my BD~ Birthday Chocalate fondue at home instead of the usual birthday cake!

The chocolate waiting to be melted in the microwave~

The Chocolate fondue spread!

Chocolate fondue is yummy! The hard work pays off!

D's new Fit came last week. It's quite a beauty as it has a body kit.. and i got the chance to drive.. Hey, i think my driving skills not too bad :p long time never drive already.. but it's an auto car.. no chance to practise manual already!

+~+~+~+~+~

2 more weeks to Bangkok!! Time for a getaway!!

Updates!

2007-10-13T16:50:00.000+08:00

Been three weeks since i last updated? Oh freaks! I'm becoming more and more lazy. Maybe i will close my blog soon..

Anyway i had my birthday 2 weeks ago. I'm officially 26! 4 more years and i'm plunging into the 'Big 3'. Hm.. not much of celebration. On the Fri before our bd, Joyce and i went to 'Tian Tian Lai' to have Hotpot. It was good. Guess what, i developed throat infection the next morning. I gulped lots of water and ate Manuka Honey hoping to cure it instantly. Luckily the infection subsided a bit on Sunday. Despite putting on extra calories already, Der and i went to have BBQ Hotpot at Marina South. MS has changed a lot since my last visit. MS park has been replaced, think by a condominium in future. But all the BBQ hotspots are still around, bustling with people. On the actual day, treated my colleagues to biscuits from Bakerzin. It was something like 'macaroons'. However it was too sweet for us. And i was greatly disappointed!

Took half day yesteray and went to Elements to have my complimentary aromatheraphy facial. The beautician was rough when she did my extractions, and when she did the facial, the foam got into my eyes, and lastly, while she was doing the masque for me, she accidentally touched my neck, and didn't clean my neck after that! And now i'm boycotting her. Now the spots where the extractions were, are not red... Maybe i will go back again for the massage. Heard it's good. Anyway i've gotten a number of complimentary facials/massage these few months.. Shall try them out soon.

Got myself a Titus watch as my belated bd gift. It was at 30% off and cost $293.3 after the discount. And just as i was about to go home, a lady approached me to subsribe to Smitten magazine. What aroused my interest was the discount card. She said have discounts in Topshop etc and i can get the card instantly so i can shop instantly, and for that i agreed to join. In addition i got myself a free Aldo watch and a complimentary facial at Mary Chia. Total 12 issues for $45. In the end, i realised the discount card can be used at certain days at certain shops only. And this month Topshop is not participating. Never mind, i shall give her a chance and shall find out if i can use it at Topshop these few days. If not, i will complain against her!

Ordered some clothes and bag from TW auctions.. still pending for shipping.. it's been some time..

The grey one..

The grey one..

The green one..

The red one..

And, i think i missed out that i've been to the Chinese Garden Lantern Festival. But it was nothing fantastic. Here are the pics.. only thing worth mentioning are the fireworks!

Mid Autumn 2007

Those were the days~

2007-09-21T22:19:00.000+08:00

It was a sunny day.. As usual, i was waiting at the bus stop, feeling a bit furious that my bus has just left.. Then he came and approached me. I was surprised as i thought that he will never approach me though i've seen him many times these years.

Remember those days... he sat beside me. He was my partner, my buddy, we did many things together. He teased me and i teased him back. You know, those childish things kids does? We were in P5. Those days, i will easily fall for guys easily when we teased each other. But not him. I'm not sure why, perhaps i've treated him like my soulmate. Someone i can confide things but not as a lover.. Gradually, not sure why, we drifted apart during Pri 6 when we split classes. He's doing well now. I wish him all the best!

~+~+~+~+~

I realised that all my classmates are doing well now, always getting increment but not me. After working for 1 year plus, my increment is so miserable! There's no appraisal so there's no benchmark. Perhaps it's time for a switch! Yet again...

Celebrating Mid-Autumn in advance

2007-09-09T23:02:00.000+08:00

Bought mooncakes for Der's family and my mommy at Vivocity..

Goodwood Park's Signature Snowskin Durian Mooncakes

Raffles The Plaza's Champagne, Rum & Raisin, Baileys and Lychee Snowskin Mooncakes

~+~+~+~+~+~

Went to Mustafa on Friday with PL and J. Ate at Muthu's Curry at Race Course Road. I think it was good. Ordered mutton curry (the meat is tender, yummy) and cabbage (yummy).. And i loved the Pappalam (not too sure of the spelling) Only drawback is we didn't know that the rice was free flow and per head. PL and i were even intending to share the rice.. Bought chocolates (truffles and the like) at Mustafa. Cost only $9.90 for 500g comparing with Candy Empire's more than $10 bucks for 200g.. it was worth it.. tastes almost similar. Will definitely buy again at Mustafa..

Just now went to eat Indian food again at Banana Leaf along Bukit Timah Road with Der. Ordered Fish Head Curry (the taste was rather weird) and Masala Chicken (taste ok). Now i know the rice (for Indian restaurants) is free flow, Der ordered a second round. Only difference from Muthu's is that the rice comes with cabbage (almost same taste as Muthu's) and 1 other vegetable. This time round, i ate so much...

Sorry no pics.. as i didn't bring camera out..

Still so fat!

2007-08-31T23:08:00.000+08:00

Nowadays kept doing my personal things in the office, take for example, recording what I’ve been eating everyday, planning my workout schedule, looking for holiday destinations etc..

My weight still remains stagnant. I’m still eating sinful stuff all these while, especially during weekends where my appetite actually doubled! I think it’s a waste of my money & time at PF! Left only like about 3 more months to go.

~+~+~+~+~+

Did I mention that I received my ON loots already? So happy! Everything fits to a T. Except one which is rather loose, and makes me look rather flabby. I’m still waiting patiently for my TW auctions loots.. it has been more than one month already. I hope everything goes well.

~+~+~+~+~+

Sunday afternoon, met up with Der & went to fish prawns at Lakeside. Actually I had wanted to go to cycle but he said his attire doesn’t suit so we opt that out. In the end, I was rather bored coz I only caught 3 prawns for the day. And he caught 10 prawns. Badly demoralized. Haha.

After which, went for dinner at the hawker center near urong Blk 500+ there and ate Dried Yong Tau Foo. It was good. Now grown to like to eat Yong Tau Foo but probably need to eat in soup is healthier for me. Then I brought all the prawns home, steamed and ate all up with my Mum. Dunno how my cholesterol level now..

~+~+~+~+~+

Yesterday initially wanted to go to PF but decided against it coz of my tummyache. Probably because of all the junk I ate during the weekends. Since Mum and Sis wanted to order Sakae, so I helped to place orders. Each of us has a Bento set

Sophia's & Samantha's Teriyaki Bento Set

Sis' Soft Shell Crepe Bento Set

Mum's Grilled Salmon Bento Set

And mine's Cha Soba with Sushi & Sashimi Bento Set

In addition we ordered Fried Hotate & Soft Shell Crab. In the end, I think if we had eaten at the outlet itself, it will taste much better. The tempura, soft shell crab and other fried stuff are not so nice, only the sashimi still taste fresh. Total damage comes up to $70.50

~+~+~+~+~+

I forgot to mention that I went for my complimentary facial at Body Wellness near Orchard last month. Remember I was still coughing hard during the entire session. I think it was called Diamond Sparkling Treatment. Firstly, the beautician cleaned my face then she used a tool to zap all the dead skin cells from my face. Then I had 2 masks. One was sheet mask and the other was something she applied onto my face. And she gave me a shoulder massage. It was really refreshing and comfortable. After that, the sales consultant psycho me into buying their package, and of course, I did not succumb to the temptation.

I have 2 more complimentary facials I got from the bridal mags that my company advertised.

I need a shoulder massage plz!

2007-08-26T01:05:00.000+08:00

Dead beat.

Work up at 745 and found myself rather late as usual. Couldn't find suitable clothes to wear. And i really ended up 2 min late in office. Bored. Couldn't wait for time to pass quickly as i'm meeting PL for the Ettusais Make-up Workshop at SMU.

Finally reached the place after getting bit lost. But it was all worth it. Learned quite a lot on skincare problems and make-up tips! Got a complimentary T-zone mask demo and a manicure (though the manicure doesn't turn out nice). Same goes for PL. Quite disappointing. Got a $10 voucher from this workshop so we went to buy their new range of blusher, it's unique as it comes with a puff for $19 (after the voucher). Also got a goodie bag (worth of $50?)... which contains: My Paper, 3 samples of some skincare products, hair perfume, topshop bag, small pillow, notebook.. Oh and i almost forgot, the refreshments! I only like the otah (with mackarel fish), and the chocolate fountain! So heavenly!

After that, went to Plaza Singapura - John Little, The Face Shop, Charles & Keith etc to shop before heading back home. Just before my stop, PL mentioned she wanted to eat the Satay Bee Hoon @ Bukit Timah Market. It brought up my hunger pangs.. wanted to eat the Fried Carrot Cake initially. But my willpower got the better of me. Ate the plain vermicelli soup with fishballs. And no Satay Bee Hoon, PL got a plate of Fried Carrot Cake! After that we down the food off with my favourite Soya Milk! Damn shiok!

~+~+~+~+~+~+~

Last Sunday, met up with Der before heading to Sobasei @ Fairway Club. Didn't know it was so expensive. So we ended up getting the cheapest items on the menu!

My Curry Soba - $14+

His Cha Soba - $10+

My Chawanmushi - Damn expensive.. $8+

Yum!

~+~+~+~+~+~+~

Met up J rather late on Thursday, and we went to Kbox as they are having promotion. Ladies night = Waiver of cover charge for 1 drink ordered. As i need to catch the last bus home, so the session has to end early. Though the session was short, but i enjoyed myself. Hope can sing longer next time though.

~+~+~+~+~+~+~

Followed my exercise plan religiously. Four times a week. Still hanging on. But i can't control my eating habits. Still eat a lot and ate sinful stuff.. Just like to ask.. are fishballs fattening? Coz i love them and i eat them few times a week. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks.

Gotta oink oink now.. can't take it anymore... And yes, i badly need a shoulder massage! If anyone wants to volunteer, i will gladly welcome with open arms!

Waraku Restaurant, Fireworks & MOS

2007-08-20T22:53:00.000+08:00

Oops realised my previous post is a bit messy.. just edited already.

Saturday, met up with unimates to Waraku Restaurant @ Marina Square

My Udon.. unfortunately, not nice..

Four of us..

Later on, met up with PL and J to catch fireworks.. the way from Marina Square was terrible as everyone was walking in the opposite direction as me, as i walked over to Cityhall.. Finally caught the fireworks nearby Cityhall.. sad thing is some fireworks cannot be seen..

Then we headed to MOS after a bit of hesitation..

The lights can change colors… very beautiful..

Too dark.. :p

Vodka Orange! Yum!

Deprived...

2007-08-18T00:58:00.000+08:00

Finally got the time to surf the Net. I'm so deprived of web-surfing nowadays, owing to the little amount of time i'm having in a day.. nah.. it's not because of work.. it 's because of i'm been going to PF often nowadays.. suddenly got awaken by the ideas -1) that i'm not making any progress, and 2) i shouldn't waste my hard-earned $$

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm getting more and more annoyed by the fact that why some people do not like to reply sms-es. It's so irritating. I'm talking about like i'm asking them a question, and i expect them to revert.. not a statement. And i didn't even get a respond. Oh well.. maybe i'm not a people-person, people just hate to reply me. It doesn't pay to be kind. And I hate being the organiser. Period.

Will see how the turn-out is tomorrow. =(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Met PL for bit of shopping at Vivo City. However PL didn't bought anything, while i bought a pair of pants at FOX. Only $26. More than 50% off.. Love it to bits. Last Saturday, bought a dress from Nichii at it was at 20% off.. but i think that was an impulsive buy.. coz i seldom wear dresses =(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hohoho.. signed up for an Ettusais make-up workshop for next Sat. It sounds good. With only $35 registration fee, you get $50 worth of Ettusais products and a $10 voucher.. However, i'm not interested in the skincare products rather than the make-up products.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Work sometimes gets me down. Today Boss told me to suddenly cancel a promotion which we have all agreed upon sometime back already. Got a nervous-wreck as i know that it is irrevesible as it has already been sent to print. Then after a while, he came and said, "Charis, it's okie, Mr XXXX have explained to me.. i've forgotten.. sorry." Phew.. I forgave him, as old people tends to forget things easily, despite all the blood gushing like mad earlier on.. kekeke.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Watched few DVDs for the past weeks:

Just Follow Law (Fann Wong & Gurmit Singh) - Thought it was interesting show after being raved by some people, especially my colleagues. Found it nothing much.. kept repeating & emphasizing on the politics among all the govt agencies. Tends to get a bit bored after a while.. Only good thing is i finally see Fann Wong so uncouth.. wahaha.

Mr Bean's Holiday (Rowan Atkinson) - Also raved by some people, but i thought it was quite boring, probably because most of the time, he don't talk..

The Da Vinci Code (Tom Hanks & Audrey Tautou)- Quite boring in the beginning.. don't really like to watch drama show.. but overall nice.. though some parts i don't really understand + i can't finish reading the novel.

Deja Vu (Denzel Washington) - Quite boring in the beginning as well. i love this kinda go back in the past or go to the future kinda shows.. Denzel Washington is really good in the show.

Twins Mission (Twins, Sammo Hung) - Love Twins, that's why rented this movie.. overall quite interesting. Mum loves this kinda shows.

And some other shows which i can't remember already...

oh ya, missed a lot of movies lately.. waiting for DVDs.. Transformers, Harry Potter and the list goes on and on..

What a trip~

2007-08-04T13:32:00.000+08:00

Here i am! Finally found the energy to blog. Been sick since i came back from KL on the 23/7. Let me count.. 12 days since i'm back.. and i'm still sick.. coughing.. Been sick (got a kind of pain in my stomach) on the second day of the trip.. must be the honeydew that i had bought in Puduraya bus terminal.. it tastes real funny.. i think fruits will turn stale if it's not placed in the fridge after cutting them.. that time i did not think of that. It must be food poisoning.. didn't get to eat the highly raved 'Mdm Kwan's Nasi Lemak or Bojari'.. in fact did not get to eat anything on day 2 except a plate of 'Penang Char Kway Teow'.. i was feeling lethargic and hungry by the time we finally settled down to makan that.. yum.. it tastes yummy! Then i was down with a slight fever while visiting Chinatown aka Jalan Petaling.. should be due to the crowd.. i hate crowds.. last time i caught flu virus while squeezing / clubbing on a particular new year's eve. Then on the last day, vomitted twice after eating the so called 'Mint-flavoured Mcflurry' in Mac.. it tastes real weird.. no taste of mint.. yucks.. The only good thing is we auto upgraded to Transtar Premium class.. the massager seats are spacious.. with personal TVs.. lots of movies/shows to catch.. gosh i was grateful for that! At least this is the best part of the trip. What's more, in KL was raining every single day... we got caught in the rain everyday. So sick of it. So please remember, don't visit KL in July.. monsoon season.. as what Joyce said. What is supposed to be a relaxed trip turns out to be a horrific experience.. don't think i will go back again, at least for a while..

Did not took a lot of photos, the above explains all.. apologies har.. esp to PL & Joyce..

KLtrip0707

~+~+~+~+~+

On a lighter note.. i received my loots from JE551. Everything fits.. only the sleeve is a bit tight.. time to do something to my arms.. The color also looks a bit out from those on the net.. please refer to my previous posts.. that't the problem with online shopping..

Ordered these from TW auctions..

And Old Navy..

My family

2007-07-16T23:39:00.000+08:00

Today forgot to bring my socks and water bottle to attend body combat today. Wasted one day. This week, i can only go once or twice as i'm going to KL this Thurs... i think it's a waste of my package:(

Received this shade together with the Wet Seal top last week.. managed to buy a case for it.. guess what, the case cost more than the shade itself.. This shade cost me only less than SGD10. And i guess the color of the frame (white) doesn't look too loud after all, have to get myself used to it :)

This pic of my sis' youngest daughter was taken today.. getting to like her more.. she's adorable :)

It's really getting unbearable for me to stay in this house. Yeah. My 2 other nieces and HIM of course. Everyday after a day of stress, will come home to a noisy house instead of a quiet house. It's the same repetition, even Der can't bear with it when it was just few minutes. Poor me! I pity myself. But, of course, i know there are others who are worse off. That's why i don't often rant about my family here... About HIM, last night, came home expecting to relax and watch my favourite drama on Ch 55, and he came up, made a scene, saying want to watch Ch 8 at 9pm. Expecting everyone to attend to his needs huh? And almost every night, he will rant non-stop and even littered the place. I predicted that one of these days, we are going to be homeless, all due to his mis-doings. And the most ridiculous thing is, he don't think he's wrong and the older he gets, the worser he becomes. I'm really sick in the stomach........

Bags time~

2007-07-15T14:51:00.000+08:00

Ordered these from Bigi.. same organiser.. think she's a very nice organiser.. did i mention that i got my bag from Bigi liao? It's very nice and cheap!

I just love bags..

Updates~

2007-07-15T12:42:00.001+08:00

Uh-oh, so long never update.. all because 1) that i do not have broadband at home already, 2)busy planning for my KL trip.

Will be going to KL for a short getaway this Thurs night with my buds.. finally finished planning and has printed our itinerary.. hope that this will be a relaxing trip and not no rushed one de..

Last evening, went to Settler's cafe @ Clarke Quay with my uni-mates. This is all our first time there. Damn, a most embarrasing thing happened to me, this is not the first time.. the same thing happened when i was in Melbourne with the same group of friends.. Anyway i had a jolly good time playing good-o-monopoly.. think we were boring huh? Because this is the only boardgame everyone of us were familiar.. However, the dinner wasn't fantastic.. everyone had fish and chips.. and i couldn't finish it..

Thusday, arranged a WB editor and her photographer to DG for food tasting.. i felt so out.. because this 'manager' (mentioned earlier in my blog) kept on talking to her, without giving me a chance to talk to the editor.. :( Anyway just hope that the article turns out well.. will be coming out next Thurs WB.. shall be buying that to read in the coach to KL.. haha.. something to myself entertained..

Back-tracked to last week:
Saturday - Met up with PL to swim in the late afternoon, after that met up with J at Causeway Point to discuss our KL trip
Sunday - Initially planned to go KTV with PL, later cancelled coz we were feeling lazy to go out liao.. hee

Oh and i think the week before last (Friday), went to attend a wedding dinner at Marriot with Mum. It was our old neighbour's son getting married. He was 28 and the bride was just 22.. wah so young.. i suddenly felt old.. Those old neighbours kept asking when i was getting married.. i hate this kind of gathering.. Aside to this, i love the food.. especially the steamed pomfret and shark's fin.. Oh and mum asked me again whether want to join her to attend Grandma's sister's son's wedding dinner.. somewhere at the end of the year, probably will, because of the food + no need to give angbao (from me).. lolz.

Think that's about all, nothing happened much.. will be back again to update my KL trip.. L)

Spree updates

2007-07-04T00:42:00.000+08:00

Yeah, after 3 weeks, finally my Wetseal items arrived today: 1 top (please see previous posts) and 1 shade. However, they are rather disappointing. The top cutting is too low lah.. still haven't figured a way to wear it. As for the shades, it's way too big and it's in white, think the color is far too loud, as what sis commented :( That's the cons of ordering online.. haiz. However, the shades are cheap. Cost about SGD6 plus after shipping nia..

Still waiting patiently for my BIGI bag. The organiser said TW side has already shipped out! ETA: Oh great, just received an email from the organiser that the bags has reached. Yeah!

Just ordered these from JE551

Hopefully can fit into them :p Otherwise going to be disappointed again

~+~+~+~+~+~

I'm too sick of trying to slim down. Yeap, excuses are too busy/too lazy to go to PF to work-out, and too tiring always having to watch diet. And conclusion, my weight and size has remained stagnant for the past few months. SICK! I just feel like popping pills to suppress my appetite. Perhaps, i will do just that very soon.

~+~+~+~+~+~

Work-wise, i'm sick of a certain person in my company. Though i do not need to face her all the time during work as she's working in a different place, i still need to coordinate with her throughout my work and see her when i'm having lunch. She expect everyone (or rather me) to do things for HER only. I have to put aside my work, and do the work for her, in order for her to close the sale. She only give me like less than half a day to finish the work. She can get incentive if she hits target, but not me. When i see her during lunch, she treats me as invisible. Only when she needs my help, she will talk in a 'teh' tone. Gross. In short, she's haughty.

Though she holds a Manager title, i'm going to complain to my senior if she bullies me again.

~+~+~+~+~+~

Der's mum bought me 2 necklaces from Taiwan. one of them is made of pearls, which i like it a lot more than the other one. Keke. Must remember to buy something back for her when i'm going to KL soon.

~+~+~+~+~+~

Will be travelling to KL on 19 night. Finally can get away from SG or rather work to breathe liao. I hope this will be a relaxing trip and not like the last HK trip, rushing here and there.

Sales @ Mango + Spree

2007-06-23T01:56:00.000+08:00

~+~+~+~+~+

My weight kept flutuating up and down.. and it's like stagnant.. think i just can't keep my hands and mouth off yummy food leh.. i'm even thinkin of going to eat buffet later on.. and what's more, i kept on skipping my classes and gym at PF.. hmm.. Will someone just motivate me?

~+~+~+~+~+

Tuesday was PL's birthday, so on Monday we went for a simple dinner at BB's coffeeshop for a pre-celebration.. and J bought takeaway home.. think it was really.. really.. the simplest celebration we had for her.. Anyway:

"Happy Birthday Peiling! May all your wishes come true and may your Mr Right comes along very soon"

~+~+~+~+~+

Making some plans to go to KL next month with my buds..

Wetseal versus Forever 21

2007-06-12T23:39:00.000+08:00

Take a look at these:

From Wetseal - USD22.50

From F21 USD17.80

Saw the similarities ??

I realised it too late, i bought the former at a higher price last night.. *Cries out loud* Teaches me a lesson: Must shop around first before final decision. Damn!

My loots

2007-06-12T23:07:00.000+08:00

My ON loots arrived liao...

Printed Flip flops..

Girls' French Terry Shorts

Girls' Cap Sleeve Pique Polos (a tad too big - ordered in XL Plus..)

My poor mouth..

2007-06-11T22:53:00.000+08:00

Got these ulcers since last week.. about 7 - 8 of them all concentrated at the top and bottom near my lips.. now merged to become 2 different big ulcers.. gross right? I find that extremely gross! Der said it has spread so must make it bleed to kill those germs.. gross leh.. of course i wouldn't listen.. no medical base at all.. at most i will listen to him this: gurgle my mouth with salt + water.. hope it will be completely cured by this sat coz i'm going cycling... i dun wanna be yelling of pain during cycling =p

Shopping spree & tummyache!

2007-06-07T22:18:00.000+08:00

Busy.. busy... and just busy... this week.. and think the whole of this month also.. because a new promo is coming up.. i think i'm too stressed sometimes.. like today got a headache all of a sudden at the back of my head. That feeling sucks..

Met up with J on Tues and then went to shop a bit.. went to HK Kim Gary for dinner..

My baked chicken chop with supreme curry in swiss cheese

J's mixed rice

My egg in boiling milk

Guess what, after eating, or during the time i was eating.. i had a bad tummyache.. and i couldn't stand till i ask J to accompany me to the top floor of Vivocity as i need to rest badly.. i couldn't even walk. We finally went to buy some knick-knack stuffs from Daiso.. and shop a bit more before heading home..

** Feel the need to say this to her:'Very paisey, Joyce.. for spoiling your day to shop around'

~+~+~+~+~+~

On wed, Der came to look for me after my work.. bought a fondue set at BIG for $23! It was deducted from the gift card that i won during D&D.Went to eat Yoshinoya.. he had chicken and beef in spicy set, while i had salmon and karage set.. + a potato mix.. yummy.. sat his new lorry home.. it was comfy and exciting (at least)

~+~+~+~+~+~

Here are some clothes i bought during GSS..

Shorts from Nichii - The Fashion City @ Vivocity - $18.40 (after 20% discount)

Top/Dress from Nichii - The Fashion City @ Vivocity - $25.90 (after 30% discount)

Top from Isetan Scotts - $19 (got this in white as well)

Top from Isetan Scotts (Topshop) - $29

Top from Isetan Scotts - $12

Some of you must have realised that most of my clothes are in black.. or rather all, right? But i think black is the safest color and suits me best.. other that that.. i think purple also suits me.. perhaps i should try other brighter colors in future =)

~+~+~+~+~+~

Just to share my new found lemming: Dark Chocolate Ice-cream - currently promotion buy 2 get 1 free for $3.60 @ 7-eleven!

~Beautiful Sunday~

2007-06-03T00:35:00.000+08:00

Had dinner/supper - Steamboat at Xian De Lai (Bt Timah Branch) with J on Friday night. Ate a lot (buffet). As a result, feeling bloated and uncomfortable. What more can i say? That's the true blood of Singaporeans.. Lolz.

Today woke up early due to my full bladder (must be due to the steamboat i had with J last night). Since i got up early, might as well go to gym to workout before my work.. Yeah.. managed to work out on the cross-trainer for 30 min.. but the food leftover from last night's supper/dinner was still lingering in my stomach.. yeeks..

Talking about work makes me sick.. today is supposed to be Saturday.. yet now i keep brooding about what my boss mentioned to me this morning.. he must have think that i am not initiative about my work.. Why is that so? Because i am too used to being spoon-fed at this company. All this while, i had been asked to do things and not a single time, i need to be initiative. Guess i have become overly dependent and taking things for granted.. =( Actually sometimes i missed my ex-company. Why? Because i learnt a lot - initiative, independent, coping with stress, gan jiong (to meet tight deadlines) I just hope to be given a chance to prove myself. Afterall, i needed to leave a good impression here before i can move on.

Anyway visited my sis and the kids at CCK after work. Before that, bought a pair of shorts from Gio at Lot 1. Cost $19.50 (50% off) Quite a steal.

Sunday's plans
* Meet up with PL for a dip in the late morning.
* Hope to finish some work that i brought home.
* ~~Meet up with Der for a quick dinner.~~ Edited:He's sick so i slept at home instead.
* Watch TV - SCV!! My fav plan of the day.. (i'm a notorious couch potato)

Shopping spree

2007-06-01T10:47:00.000+08:00

Back to work after a brief 1 day holiday – Vesak Day. In holiday & weekend mood.

Met up with PL at Orchard after her massage yesterday. First shop we went to was F21 at Wisma. There doesn’t seem to be any sale over there. We proceeded to have dinner @ Yoshinoya, Takashimaya, first as she was hungry. She had Salmon with Ebi set while I ordered Salmon with Teriyaka Chicken set. It was yummy, perhaps had been a long time since I dined at Yoshi. After which, we went to Isetan @ Scotts for our shopping spree. Coincidentally, saw PL’s sis who was also shopping with her bf.. I bought 4 tops.. total damage was $76++ Thanks to PL’s isetan card which save me $2.80 =) Can buy a bowl of bar chor mee/fish porridge.. =p Though it was quite late after shopping at Isetan, we decided to try our luck @ Cineleisure for second round of shopping. I bought 3 pairs of earrings at $5, while PL bought 6 pairs at $10. I just realized that those earrings I bought in the past, some were either misplaced, otherwise just turned color. So I’m thinking of getting a earring stand to display and store my earrings… or otherwise just compartment box to store my earrings…

Wanted Out..

2007-05-29T17:48:00.003+08:00

I know I just have to get out of Sg for a while even if it means just a few days. Finally booked my air tickets to BKK seeing that there’s a promo on Jetstar. However, it is in November, meaning I have to endure for at least 5 more months... =( Perhaps I will plan for another short getaway to M’sia such as Genting during these 5 months.

Have an argument with him again last night due to financial planning issues.. well it seems like he wasn’t at the stage of planning yet. He told me he will settle all issues by himself, and don’t like others to plan for him. I recalled something I read in the book on “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”: that men need trust and approval, they do not like to be asked and taught what to do. How true that is, and applicable to him. Well, to me, I just wanted security and by instinct, I will expect good financial planning by him. But he’s a poor planner.. as I can see how he manages his life and finances. Sent a few hurting sms to him before retiring to bed. That’s me, as I still couldn’t handle my emotions well.. During the last few mins before I proceeded to Dreamland, I thought of some incidents last weekend that he has changed his attitude: 1) how he had fought with me when I wanted to watch my show when he was watching a Wrestling match… In the end, I gave up to him and he switched to a movie channel in SCV. And I told him that show sucks and he ignored me. In the past, he will give in to me. 2) And when we had dinner at the Bt Timah Market, I told him the person got my order wrong, and he treated as if nothing has happened. And I was forced to eat the plate of pasta with bacon instead of mushroom, as I was also not in the mood of going back to change. In the past, he will ask me whether I wanted to change that plate, and usually when there are spring onions or coriander leaves in the dish, he will scoop it out for me, knowing I don’t like them.. And so now I will give him the benefit of the doubt, by thinking he’s too weary from work that he’s rather short tempered lately, and tired emotionally and physically. This morning, he sent me sms “good morning” without mentioning of those sms-es I sent last night.

Mundane Life

2007-05-29T17:48:00.001+08:00

"..." Awakened this morning by some people in the family. It was a heated argument which I seldom experienced nowadays. But recently Sis moved back with us and she has always been hot-tempered, and I guess she couldn’t see eye to eye with him. For Mum and myself, we just don’t care what he said/does already. Deep inside, I have given up on him, and I know Mum does as well. Peeked at the alarm clock, and realized it’s 6 plus already. Can’t they just spend some thought to those who are working, and tone it down? Sent sms to Der as he was already awake. He was surprised that I woke up so early and called me. I told him briefly what happened as I was sleepy. He told me to go back to sleep. But I couldn’t get back to sleep and kept tossing about. *Sighz*

Nothing seems to go right at work nowadays. I think it’s myself as i’m getting very tired of working in this company. Or perhaps I’m weary of working already.

I’m thinking of going eyebrow embroidery soon, maybe June after I get my paycheck.

Bluey Monday~

2007-05-21T23:39:00.000+08:00

As usual, dragged myself to work this morning. It was a nice day to sleep in, very cooling and very comfy in my bed. Had wanted to take a short nap as usual in the bus however was disturbed by two gals who were sitting right behind me, and were practically yakking loudly all the way till they got down. One of the gals’ voice was exceptionally loud, which I find it difficult to doze off.

~+~+~+~+~+~

Met up with my university mates for dinner @ Outback Steakhouse, Millenia Walk last Sat. I ordered Outback Steak with Mashed Potato as my side. However, I feel that it wasn’t as nice as I thought. The meat is rather tough despite it was just medium rare.. and there were potato skin in the mashed potato. Perhaps it was to enhance the taste but I didn’t fancy that.

Anyway we had a quick chat over dinner, realized some of them are doing well in their jobs, unlike me. I am still struggling to make ends meet with my meager pay. Moreover, I am still deciding whether to make Marcom as my lifetime career.. even now in this current job, I am doing more in F&B and wedding menus, and doesn’t really involve much in Marcom. I feel like I am wasting my life away in this current co. Actually I prefer to do something more in-depth Marketing such as analyst, strategist or researcher. I wonder whether I would get to be in that position. I am not a lucky person, to begin with. As you can see, my friends are all doing well than me. I do not mind doing extra to earn more money. In this stage in my life, money is the most important. Why? Because I am the sole breadwinner in the family. And I needed extra money for shopping and to get a CC to make online purchases and installments.

Well.. back to our short gathering, we went to Coffee Club @ Marina Sq for some drinks. Got Jo a slice of blueberry cheesecake as a surprise for her upcoming birthday. Sadly she doesn’t really like the cake. For me, I would prefer oreo cheesecake though.. haha . And she paid for our drinks and the cake. So this doesn’t count a celebration ba.. Haiz... It was really great to see them all again. Time flies, counting the number of times that I’ve celebrated my birthday with them (after leaving uni), this coming birthday will be the third time, meaning that we have kept in contact for 3 years. Yet, I have this feeling that we are all hiding things from one another. It is really difficult to get all to open up, especially ZX and WK. Anyway I hope this monthly ritual will continue as long as possible.. hee..

Jo's Birthday 2007

~+~+~+~+~+~

Bought some stuffs from ON again. I wanted to get some stuffs from F21 & VS but their stuffs are rather exp, which I can’t afford right now! =(

~+~+~+~+~+~

Envy friends such as PL, Joyce and Jo etc as they have colleagues whom they can mingle well with. They go out together after work hours and can chat about anything under the sun. As for me, I rather miss my ex-colleagues in my ex-company. I clicked well with them, but time with them was short. In fact, ALL of them has moved on to greener pastures, and we somehow stopped contacting one another. Maybe that’s what called ‘Fate’. It has decided how many acquaintances and friends we have in our lifetime. I remember one acquaintance, she contacted me only when she needed help, she will sms ‘do you have any job recommendations?’

My current colleagues are nice people however, they have their own family and will not go out together after work for shopping or to have a meal. It was like the norm, everyone doing their work during working hours and going home on the dot. I find it too quiet sometimes during working hours, that I find myself dozing off any moment. And during off peak periods, like now, I’m so free, doing nothing. It’s too much of an extreme. During peak periods, I will be so busy that I have to reach office earlier to do my work. And what are the downsides of this company? No internet at our workstation, no personal emails, no music, uniforms and shoes. So I’m on the lookout again. I can’t stand such life anymore.

~+~+~+~+~+~

Short update

2007-05-16T22:36:00.000+08:00

Haven’t got the time and energy to blog. Been down with a virus.. Monday after lunch vomited 4 times and diarrhea at night.. Went to see doc on Tues and got slightly better but today my stomach’s a bit uncomfy, got gas and wind. Even I ate medicine, but to no avail. My stomach has always been weak. Can’t eat too spicy stuff, and I always have constipation, makes my stomach very bloated and thus uncomfy. My health getting worse.. I just fell sick last month..

I didn’t mention that my company dinner was held last week at one of our restaurants. The event did not go as well as what we had planned. Anyway, the only good things were the food and the prize I got.. I believe I am already quite lucky liao, compared to others who didn’t won) though the prize is not a lot. But I like this company policy, that even those who didn’t won also got consolation prizes..

My loots from ON arrived.. quite disappointed.. but oh well..

Caught Spidey 3 with Der 2 weeks back.. very nice.. would give it 4/5. The only thing I don’t understand is that why the Sandman suddenly became remorseful and gave Spidey an explanation towards the end of the show??

On that Sunday, went to Pulau Ubin with him, his bro & friends. It was a last min thingy.. but it was real fun.. all of us rented bicycles and i realised that the roads were not that bumpy after all and the slopes are alright for me as well.. prob i haven't got to the difficult part yet.. i love the boat ride to the island the best.. haha.. i hope to go there again soon..

Oh my, this week seems to be crawling.. i've been too free at work liaoz...

Mothers' Day 2007

2007-05-13T23:58:00.000+08:00

Brought mum to Crystal Jade's Kitchen at HV on Sat for Mother's Day.. sad to say that their standard has dropped drastically since our visit about 2 years back..

Stir fried chee cheong fun.. not nice.. spicy and over fried..

Beancurd skin with meat.. (didn't order this, but was in a rush so i didn't bother to change) & Mum's fav chicken feet

Siew Mai.. no good..

Chicken with Century Egg Congee.. yummy..

Glutinous Rice.. yummy...

In the evening, Der's uncle and family brought us to JB to treat his grandma for seafood.. very cheap and nice. Had drunken live prawns, steamed grouper, chilli crabs and raw oyster (which i don't really fancy) etc..

.
On the way to the Seafood Restaurant...

Dreaded Feeling~

2007-05-04T23:02:00.000+08:00

It's an awful feeling.. suddenly feel as though i'm friendless.. hope this feeling goes away soon.. i'm in fact an insecure person~

The one i call my own~

2007-04-26T21:08:00.000+08:00

Just bought Panasonic FX10 at SLS. It's cheap but wonder if it's any good.. actually it's more of an impulse buy.. will explore further and update. But i'm so happy that i actually own a digital camera liaoz.. can shoot as many photos as i want liao.. =)

Yeah.. 1 wish strike off!

You are longing for some love and affection at this time - not that you have been deprived of tender loving care - but there are times when everyone needs to try something new or to go 'somewhere' else to perhaps experience that little extra 'understanding'.

You are finding the present situation extremely demanding and you're having difficulty coping with it. A great deal of strain is involved and you would really like everyone and everything to leave you alone for a while, just so that you can put everything into perspective.

Although you are, deep down, a very caring person, you are very particular in the choice of friends and indeed very demanding at times. You can be most quarrelsome and controversial and it is because of this argumentative trait you can at times explode into open conflict - conflict with even those you may care for and love. It is because of this inherent argumentative streak in you that may have resulted in broken hopes and dreams.

You are feeling trapped by the situation as it stands at this time and what is more, you feel powerless to remedy it. You are stressful, angry and disgruntled. You feel that everything that you try to do to change the situation is thwarted and your hopes and aspirations all seem to be receding into the ever distant future. You have reached the state where you now doubt whether your dreams will ever be achieved and this is not only causing mental stress but heartache. You need to get away from it all - you need to have time to think, to recuperate, to be able to make your own decisions.

You don't like conflict and you endeavour to avoid criticism. You want to do your own thing and to be able to decide what is right for you. You have considerable personable charm - and this is used with considerable effect on those that keep your company.

2007-04-25T00:39:00.000+08:00

After so much self-convincing.. i still went back to him. I guess i'm really too dependent on him. I can't let go of our memories and i kept thinking of the things he did for me. Yet, i can't remember how much he had hurt me. It always when he's gone, then i start to think how well he's treated me. And when we are together again, i will think of this relationship is going nowhere. For the past few weeks when we are apart, I kept dreaming of him and even had nightmares involving him... i guess i think too much...

And now i wonder, is our relationship going somewhere or am i just wasting my time??

All i can say is i'm too blinded by love to think clearly now.

BLurrred vison..........

2007-04-22T13:36:00.000+08:00

As my title says, my monitor is getting blurrer and for a moment, i thought i need to get a new specs and contacts..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yesterday went to color and trim my hair... plan is to color it red but turned out to be purplish red instead.. And the color is not that obvious also. Probably i should consider another salon to color liao though it is cheap at this salon. And maybe that is why the effect of the color is also compromised.. =(

My hair getting shorter.. hoping to crop it short next time. I'm not supposed to wash my hair till Monday night. Hopefully my hair doesn't itch too much.. it's getting itchy liao..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Damn.. after more than one and half months working out in the gym and going to classes, my weight remains stagnant.. and the reason? Is input more than output. I must try to go at least 4 times a week!

Now weekends so free.. i'm thinking of joining some activities in the CC.. but currently looking through the PA webby, there doesn't seems to have any suitable courses or classes in my neighbourhood CC..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Work again.. I hate to work but without work, i will be so bored.. especially when i want to prevent myself from wandering thoughts.. The person gave me the work last Friday, and my boss is on leave for 3 days from Monday and they need it by this Friday! I need to consult my boss on some issues before proceeding. How am i going to produce the work? ANd without any work produced, i will cause the business to fail.. and zero sales produced.. oh i realised i'm such a significant figure in my company till now..

Spending..

2007-04-19T23:30:00.000+08:00

Ordered these from Old Navy

Online sprees always leave me feeling satisfied. Or maybe it's shopping. Or rather i would said that spending $ makes me feeling better..

WK's Bd 2007

2007-04-16T01:20:00.000+08:00

Celebrated WK's bd @ Bobby's last sat...

Didn't know that someone is so stressed when alone with me ha... said i'm so quiet & reserved.. actually i'm stressed when i'm with her as well.. perhaps when people's frequency is different, it's difficult to click.. even though it's said that Geminians & Librans are supposed to get along well..

Anyway may all our friendship blossoms.. after all we may get to meet only one another in this life.. Cheerz to all the friendshipz in the world..

Wat a boring life..

2007-04-15T20:50:00.000+08:00

Finally upload my HK photos.. take a look at the panel on the right if you want to take a look @ the photos.. =)

+~+~+~+~+~

Right now, i'm not interested in finding the right guy.. i wanna give up, give up everything. I only wan to earn money because with it, i can shop all i wan. Call me crazy. I don't wan to be crying late at nights, i don't wan to worry for my other half, i don't wan to be unhappy anymore.

Now during weekends, i'm so bored. I rented some movies and spent my weekends watching them. Other than that, i surf net whole day long.. feel that i'm wasting my life away...

Shopping!

2007-04-11T23:30:00.000+08:00

Bought this wristlet from Coach.

Last Sat, met up with my uni-mates for WK's bd celebration. Coincidentally, he has the same bd as him. Makes me think of him again.. Anyway we went to Bobbys at Chijmes for a good dinner.. i had Signature Baby Pork Ribs.. it was succulent and juicy.. and i chose french fries and baked potato as my sides.. yums..

Not sure whether it was because of the above food that is too heaty, i got sore throat, headache and fever for the past few days. The funny thing is that in the daytime, my fever subsided. But when evening come, the fever will haunt me again.. i think my condition is weird.. i just hope i will be good and well as i haven't been going to PF for the past week.. wastage of $. Damn.

By the way we are not on talking terms now..

In love ~ no more ~

2007-04-07T15:44:00.000+08:00

Just bought Lacoste 'Touch of Pink' at HFC. Costs only $33.95 for 30ml bottle. Believe it or not.. this is my first bottle of fragrance.. lolz.. and i love the smell, light and powdery, good for everyday use.

+~+~+~+~+~

Went for dinner at the stretch of eateries opposite Beauty World Centre last night with Mum. We finally chose Cafe 18, it is a HK cafe. I ordered the Cafe 18 Pork Chop Baked Rice while she ordered Pork Chop noodles. Mine doesn't taste that fantastic especially the pork chop. The meat is tough.. pls spare my poor teeth.. We had also wanton soup.. Taste not bad.. Would go back again to try other stuff..

+~+~+~+~+~

After some thoughts, i've finally decided that this is the best way out. I don't want to be hurt and i don't want to hurt anyone. Since both are feeling so terrible, why not each take few steps back? Actually, many are asking me when we are getting married, having been together for many years. However, i often smile it off. In actual fact, i don't have the feeling that he will be life-long partner at all. Promises are always broken. It's not i don't understand him. It's just that i'm disappointed time and again. If you can't fulfil your promise, don't ever promise in the first place. That's what i always tell him. But what happen in the end? History repeats itself. Call me selfish. I don't like to be disappointed and unhappy. Only one thing, i am sorry to him though, as i'm leaving him to celebrate his birthday alone on Mon. But i believe he will be fine, as he has his family and friends around. This time, i've really hurt him a lot, especially his pride so i think he hates me a lot now. I'm thinking of what to do with the present i bought for him? Perhaps i will discard it..

As for me, i hope not to ever be in love again as i've been hurt enough. I think being single is so much happier. I am contemplating to change my mobile number as i want to break off all contacts with him. Because if he comes to look for me again (which i doubt so anyway), i may be soft-hearted again...

That's me...

Ended everything with a full stop. Drained of energy to carry on. No more soft-hearted.. no more..

That's my Life..

Unhappy days are revolving around me once again.. wonder when i can truly be happy?

I find that i have lesser and lesser friends as i grow older. Especially when my life solely revolves around him and my workplace only.. when can i get out of this lifestyle.. i wanna join some sports activities.. so i can get to know more friends.. anyone wanna join me ya? I hope i can lead a more fulfilling life..

Stressed out...

2007-03-17T13:50:00.000+08:00

Busy, busy and just busy with my work! Got event preparations, promo preparations.. so stressed out.. too much work with little time..

After work, i'm always too tired or rather lazy to go to work out, even if PF is just at Vivocity, next to my workplace! Been wasting the past 2 weeks and what's more, i kept eating and eating non-stop.. Haiz..

There will be a bridal fair at Bugis Green from 30 march - 1 April.. my company is one of the participating merchant.. but just because of one of my boss, we will not have a decorator for our booth.. just plain plain nia.. wonder who will visit our booth.. spend money yet don't wanna deco.. damn.. dun wanna rant too much on work here..

Went for this fitness consultation at PF Suntec and realised i've so much problems with my whole body.. too much body fats, poor cardiovascular system, biceps, flexibility... so lousy right.. and this floor trainer kept psycho-ing me to sign up a package with him.. that costs a bomb.. so don't think i will sign up...

Time for a change?

2007-03-03T00:34:00.000+08:00

CNY is coming to an end this Sunday! Anyone having 'tang yuan' on the 15th? Guess i will not be having any as my family do not have the habit of eating dumpling balls.. I got so many ang-pows this year though the total $ isn't much but it's the thought that counts lah! Hehe.. Very sianz.. grown a year older liao.. very embarrassed to keep going to my grandparents' and der's place to take ang-pows.. my ah ma said that i'm working now so don't need to give.. My colleagues who are all married gave me ang-pows also!

****+++*****+++****

Grown fatter especially after CNY.. i love steamboats.. yet i've grown sick of them after eating consecutively for 3 days at different places, first at ah ma's house, then at der's house, then at his ah ma's house..

****+++*****+++****

i have signed up a package with Planet Fitness for 9 months.. will be starting my plan next week.. wan to lose weight.. yeah.. anyone interested? I can get a trial pass for you and we can work-out togther.. hehe..

****+++*****+++****

I've grown to love prawn fishing! It's so fun.. getting addicted already.. Der has bought a new fishing rod for me.. going to try it soon! Last sat, we went to fish again, and this time don't know it's my bad luck or what, only managed to catch 2!!

****+++*****+++****

Sick of my current job.. realised i'm doing mostly other jobs other than marketing.. only 30% is related to marketing.. think my knowledge has depreciated over the year.. hmm.. maybe it's time for me to start moving on.. though i know that the next job may not be as relaxed as this one especially if it's totally specialised in marketing.

****+++*****+++****

Getting more shocking news everyday.. few days back saw 2 girls kissing each other in the bus.. yup.. call me conventional bah.. i can't tolerate this kind of behaviour.. find it disgusting.. And just now, came across this article saying that a 9 yr old got pregnant and was too late to get it aborted as they realised only when she's 6 months pregnant.. she and her bf was having s-- frequently at her house! Her bf is a few years older only! Imagine a primary kid knowing all these stuff! Oh my! What's this world coming to?!

V day + CNY

2007-02-13T22:50:00.000+08:00

I'm back.. feel the urge to blog..

Wanted to join Planet Fitness. They are having promotion now at the roadshow @ Suntec City.. their 6 months + 3 months free is 776 (hefore gst).. Interested but no CC to pay monthly.. the only option is to pay one-time.. so still thinking abt it.. i want to join.. coz i gained back 1 kg and there's more to come soon.. Promotion ends this Friday!!

Went to Hooters @ Clarke Quay with Der last sat.. to somehow celebrate V day in advance.. here is wat he ordered..

Surf & Turf.. (Sirloin steak + King prawns with garlic butter + potato wedges + salad)

This is mine.. (alteady took a small bite)

Baked Sole Fillet with garlic butter + potato wedges + salad..

Actually mine should be nice to eat.. but before that ate too much finger food till i feel like vomitting. =p

After that we went to Meili-ya at Liang court to walk walk.. we ate gelato.. yummy!

He doesn't know romantic and he don't wan to celebrate on V day itself.. of course i feel sad lor.. i threw temper at him again.. maybe i'm unreasonable, maybe i'm ridiculous.. but which gal don wan to celebrate on V day itself? but he don't understand.. that's why i think he don't love me enough.. =(

+~+~+~+~+~

Went for prawn fishing @ Lakeside Fishing Village the previous sat... i'm becoming better at it but only during daylight.. when it turns dark, i didn't even manage a single catch.. and Der catches a lot.. most of it are king prawns.. next day we had a big feast of these prawns.. yummy! On Sunday we went to Chinatown to squeeze with the crowd. Actually i love going to Chinatown during this period.. perhaps i am traditional lolz.

Here is my 2 attempts at making my own baked rice.. both done at the same time.. but due to different heats so both turned out differently.. but my sis said it tastes very nice! Hee! Success! (Maybe they are just words of consolation.. lolz)

+~+~+~+~+~

Going back to my restaurant for reunion dinner this Sat with my parents and my aunt and her hubby! Yeah! I love good food & good company.. i like my aunt a lot.. long time never see her.. hope she's doing fine..

Hmm.. Need to buy 1 more pants for CNY.. so mafan.. actually planning to wear the berms that i wore before.. guess it doesn't matter ba..

Oh CNY here in a few days. the best part is to eat so many goodies and my favourite steamboat! Yummy!

+~+~+~+~+~

Meanwhile, wish everyone a Happy V Day & Happy CNY!

Shitty mood

2007-02-12T23:10:00.000+08:00

Don't like the same person in my house. Who does he think he is? Come home and nag non-stop when no one has offended him in the house. He doesn't work anymore so don't tell me he faced difficulties or someone bullied him.. Nah.. all he does is to say vulgar language with 2 kids in the house getting badly influenced by him, slam the house door till it's gonna break in the middle of the night.. I tried to be nice to him, give him cash allowance monthly, and offering to foot the bill for reunion dinner, knowing he has no income.. but what did we get in the end?

No more Miss fillal-girl..

Spoilt my mood to blog already.. may be in hibernation for a while.

Just some updates...

2007-01-28T22:11:00.000+08:00

Didn't realise that i've not blogged for a long time. Too busy and too tired liaoz..

Anyway i've received my three lip balms from My lip Stuff.. All are very nice-smelling. Love cookies & cream the most.. yummy..

Bought a nice top from BYSI, i love it.. looks pretty..

Bought a bag from Old Navy.. hope the actual bag looks nice coz i think the handle looks rather long...

Becoming more settled down in my job.. my colleagues are actually very nice people.. and can learn and meet lots of people, but there are still some things that i dread.. take MC and my bonus will get deducted.. sianz.. oh.. and we are having another wedding fair in end of March.. dunno whether to feel excited or what..... busy days are lying ahead of me.. hmm..

Midweek

2007-01-17T22:52:00.000+08:00

Ate HK Kim Gary @ Vivocity with Der for dinner. I ordered cheese baked rice with chicken chop set which comes with a drink (i chose tea+coffee) and soup (i chose bosco soup). All are very yummy! Though the scenery was breathtaking, but i din enjoy my dinner coz i have an argument with him throughout the dinner. =(

Damn stressed & busy with my work especially this peak period. But i won't give up as it is the only chance for me to learn. So don't worry, i will still hang on to something...

Will be going to one of my company's restaurants to makan for reunion dinner with my parents. Hee.. So excited... I am going to give my parents a treat and it's my first time treating them. What about u guys? What are u having for reunion dinner?

Yeah 2 more days to weekends!

Just to show...
Capri i bought @ Chinatown temporary market on Sat.. =)

Hectic work + life

2007-01-14T22:52:00.000+08:00

Yesterday after work, we went to Chinatown market and i bought a nice capri.. but the seller was a hard one.. kept asking me to buy another piece which i tried.. after which, we ate the famous sesame paste and peanut paste.. it was yummy!! After that went to Mustafa.. It's only my 2nd time there and the place is very big.. bought some munchies... there were lots of Indian roaming around ah.. guess it's a bad idea to go on weekends.. Saw 1 indian lady spending over $1k on her groceries and stuff!

Went to Der's ex-colleague child birthday party @ Lakehomlz.. nice condo with fab facilities.. hah.. their house is done up so nicely & cozy, with balcony to have bbq and to play mahjong/poker.. how i wish i have a home like that in future.. anyway, his friends are a bunch of nice and fun people.. hahz.. i wish i got colleagues like that too.. oh and think my friend is right, good jobs are those found in 'Recruit' in ST on Saturday.... those jobs at 'Jobsdb' are really lousy..

Been real busy these few weeks preparing for the CNY promo and stuff like that.. Have this toothache from my wisdom tooth since last week.. now gotten better..

Now ah, looking forward to CNY holidays.. previous company, got shut down till day 5 so good huh.. can rest till shiok.. but not this time round..

Ok gotta sleep.. good night.
