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.....

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..

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~

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. =)

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

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!!!

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! 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??

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..

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..

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........
