Dear all, I have moved to Ms Simplicity. Decided to use Wordpress because I can combine my previous 2 blogs to 1 main one. It's easier for me to consolidate all the posts too. Hope you all will like the new blog =)

Dear lovely people, thanks for dropping by now and then to my blog. For some, I might not know you but you came to know alot about me and my life. For some whom I knew, you will drop by and see how I am getting on with my life because we seldom meet. For some who hates me or are jealous of my life, will also read my blog and find ways to make me unhappy by giving sarcastic remarks.

Thanks to those people who are constanly trying their best to put me down, spoil my life, make me upset etc. By doing all that will only make me a stronger person and I am really thankful for the efforts they have put in. Continue to attack me with nasty remarks for all they want because it doesn't really affects me. I believe in karma so what comes around goes around.

To those people out there who can't wait to see me fall, thanks for the attention you have given me all these while keeping track of my life hoping something bad will happen to me. I am not afraid because I live with a clear conscience. Afterall, it's all purely childish acts to me =)

Just came back from my Genting trip last night. A short but fulfilling holiday. The holiday was practically eat, shop, gamble, eat, fun at theme park, shop, eat, gamble, eat and sleep. As you can see, most of the times are eating compared to sleeping. Hahaha... Like what Elaine said, I too is a bad fat girl =P. Here comes the many photos taken during my short and enjoyable holiday in Genting.

All of us feeling comfortable on the Grassland Express coach

My notti one was anxiously trying to test the games on the coach.

My dear dear bought me waffle ice-cream when we stopped halfway for break =)

The guys having their smoke break when we finally reached First World Hotel

After the long journey, both my dear dear and I were feeling tired but happy

After checking in, all of us went in search for some food to fill our stomachs and we found this chinese restaurant selling tim sum.

Some of the tim sum we ordered

After some tim sum, we adjourned to the noodle house next to the restaurant and had second round of breakfast =p Eh well, the cooling weather makes people gets hungry easily mah.

Lovely views of Genting in the morning

My dear dear and his colleague, Thomas, took a pic at the hotel lobby

Me and my beloved dear dear

After checking out the casino and a few games, some stayed on to gamble while me, my dear dear and Thomas went to the Outdoor Theme Park.

After taking the go-kart rides, we saw this which I have tried before 4 years ago. Having a slight fear in heights, the two adventurous guys went ahead to try this free-fall ride without me.

Eh I saw the two of them dunno discussed simi while waiting in the queue for their turn. Keke.. So I started snapping the comical sight of them =D

An up-close snapshots of them =P

The heavy fog slowly covered the top of the tower. I am sure those people up there on the ride sure can't see anything except the fog

Finally it's their turn to take the ride =)

Up they went and back! They seemed to love it and showed me a thumbs up sign

Next was the roller-coaster ride named Cockscrew

After the rides at the theme park, we went for our lunch at this Japanese restaurant.

Some of the sushi we ordered and not forgetting the must-have chawanmushi.

Everybody enjoyed the food very much and it was really cheap. 6 of us and the bill only came up to RM300 leh.

After the hearty lunch, it was free and easy for all of us. Some went for shopping, some went to the casino and some went back to their room to rest. Walked pass the Watsons at our hotel and saw them selling Kate products which used to be available in S'pore. Not wanting to miss the chance, I bought a loose powder and a mascara at a discount =) I is lucky de lor.

A few hours later, it's time for dinner le and we decided to have it at Kenny Roger. The guys were tired but still got energy to pose for photos.

Our sumptuous dinner at Kenny Roger. After that, we adjourned to Starbucks for coffee and cakes somemore lor. We really eat and eat and eat but that's what holidays are supposed to be, right? =) Actually, we went to Starbucks to pass time while waiting to watch the movie, Diehard 4.0.

While waiting to go into the theatre, these two guys saw the Transformers poster and started to go into posing mode lor -_-''''

Since I can't stop them, I join them =D

Diehard 4.0 is a great action-packed movie which I recommend to all of you. The movie ended at about 4am plus and by then, all of us were looking like zombies liao. Hahaha... So we went back to our respective rooms and rest for the night.

Next morning, we woke up early to have brunch and do some last minute shopping before we check out and wait for our coach.

Goodbye Genting....

Dear dear, thanks for bringing baby to this Genting trip and was a much-needed one for both of us to relax. Baby totally enjoyed herself and hope you enjoyed too. Thanks for pampering me. Love you loads! Muacks!

Went to this little cosy restaurant at The Cathay for dinner after watching the Transformers movie last week. Well, it was recommended by my dear dear's colleague Thomas who knew the chef of the restaurant which served fusion food. Overall, I can say the food are unique and nice. Prices are reasonable too. So do give it a try someday if you like to try something new.

The Indulge serves very tasty herbal soup to their customers

Thomas ordered a mango cum strawberry smoothie for himself and I ordered this special drink called Cinderella which are mixed with lime, pineapple, orange and soda.

They have very unique utensils

I had sambal salmon, my dear dear had ribeye steak and Thomas had lamb steak. We have a mayo prawns as starter.

Indulgence is a luxury in life, isn't it?

My dear mummy has been nagging about my bursting wardrobe that keeps all my impulse purchases. So being a good daughter of hers =P I decided to do some packing. I realized there are alot of clothes that's still brand new with tags. So in order to clear up more space, I have decided to sell them off at a cheaper price. Some of them I only wore them once. My loss is your gain. Haha.... So if there's anything that catches your eye and would like to have it, do email me at buzzieted@hotmail.com for details and price ba. Gam Sia!

Went to watch Transformers yesterday with my dear dear at The Cathay. It was a truly great movie that all of you should not miss. Imagined I was so touched that I teared during that scene when the Optimus Prime first appeared and transformed in the movie. It just kinda relive those childhood memories when I used to watch Transformers cartoons with my sister during my primary school days. I truly hope there will be sequels to this movie. Will be getting the original DVD when it's released for sale. For now, let me show you some of my dear dear's collections.

These are the recent additions to my dear dear's Transformers collections which he started about a year back. I bought him the PS3 Transformers game which he have been lemming for and he loves it so much! =)(He's playing the game while I'm blogging this post :p)

These are part of his collections in his cupboard that are still new and sealed in box.

These are his beloved collections placed in the display cupboard I bought for him for his viewing pleasure every now and then.

My dear dear, the proud owner and collector of Transformers ;)

Both my dear dear and I had cravings for Ramen so we met up at Bugis after work just now and went to Ajisan to satisfy our cravings. As usual, we ordered the Volcano Ramen since both of us love hot and spicy food. It's shiokness ne!

After the dinner, we went to window-shop for a while before we came back home to rest because we will be watching the long-awaited movie Transformers tomorrow. All I can say is we are so looking forward to the movie =)

Just now went online to check my exam results for the two modules I took 2 months ago and I can say I am so pleased with my grades. I got Grade B for my Business English and Grade A for my Quantitative Maths. The late nights and burning of midnight oil are all worth it! Now I am so gonna study even harder for the next 2 modules, Financial Accounting and Economics. Exams are coming again in about 1 month's time.

As my dear dear will be having his exams around the same time as me, he said we should go for a short holiday to relax ourselves first. So last Friday he went to book a Genting trip for us and some of his colleagues. He said its a little treat from him to thank me for bringing him to watch wrestling next month. Heez... So very sweet of him =) After our exams, he will be bringing me along to his company's trip which is gonna be a cruise. I have never been to a cruise before and I am so looking forward to it.

Last Friday, I went to meet this friend of mine whom I got to know from this beauty forum, Flowerpod, which I used to visit often. 3 years ago, she left for Australia to further her studies but we still keep in touch via MSN. Last week, she emailed me saying she will be coming to S'pore for holiday. So after a few email exchanges, we decided to meet up for dinner and some catching up. Although it was a small group and also a pity as the rest like Elaine and Noelle couldn't make it to join us, but we still enjoyed ourselves that night. So very sweet of her to buy some chocolates for us.

Poor me is recuperating at home now to nurse my flu. As it's the season for dumplings now, my lovely mummy will buy the necessary ingredients to make dumplings. Blame it on my mummy's superb cooking which made the tastiest and yummiest home-made dumplings, I have turned into Greedy-Me. I had bazhang for breakfast and dinner for like two consecutive days. In total I think I took about 7-8 bazhang in just 2 days which resulted in me getting unwell now lor =P But I don't care even if bazhang is gonna make me fat or unwell because I only get to eat the home-made dumplings my mummy made once a year. She just bought some more ingredients to make more bazhang. Heez... More bazhangs for me!

Came across this when I was surfing the net and decided to give it a try. It's pretty fun and interesting. Try using different photos to see which celebrities appear more than once ;) Have fun!

My dear dear being one of the brothers got to wake up as early as 5am to go over to the bridegroom's house. It's his first time being a brother and he was as excited as the bridegroom lor. Hahaha... He was really smart looking that day. Well, I shall not elaborate further and let the photos speak for itself ba.

Last Friday, my sweet dear dear brought me to watch a Video Game Symphony at the Esplanade Concert Hall presented by Singapore Arts Festival. The two planned concerts as well as the additional concert of the Asian premiere of PLAY! were sold out. It is unique as it reaches out to both music players and gamers by combining classical music played by a full symphony orchestra with the pop culture of video games.

Some of the titles played that night might be familiar to most of you. They were Super Mario Bros, Daytona (It goes,"Daytona~.... Daytona~...." when you play the beginner stage that music lolz)and Sonic the Hedgehog. For gamers, you might be more familiar with titles like the Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, World of Warcraft, Kingdom Hearts and Blue Dragon.

My dear dear and I was really very impressed and totally immersed throughout the whole concert. Having seated on the 4th row from the stage, we could feel the full impact of the orchestra. I even saw this musical instrument, the Harp, for the first time in my life. It was huge and so fairy-tale. We simply couldn't get enough of the concert. I clapped so hard until my hands turned red lor. Even after the final title "Final Fantasy VII, One-Winged Angel", the one which we were so much looking forward to hearing it ended, the encore from the audience were deafening. We all want more! So the last title played was Shinobi which won the highest votes online.

Tickets were bought sometime in March to secure the best seats

Me and my excited dear dear

We had Ramen for dinner @ Marina Square before we went for the concert

Pang kor kor, my dear dear's colleague joined us for the concert too. Supposed to have another colleague joining but he couldn't make it at the last min. 1 ticket wasted wor =(

After the concert, I got a sms from lovely Elaine asking me whether I wanna join her and her friends for coffee. Without hesitation, I agreed to join her. We had a great time though it was only for a short while. Let's arrange to meet up again, ya? =)

Met up with pweeti mama Noelle last Friday for dinner. Many thanks to her because she brought me to this riverboat restaurant at Marina South Pier. It was a lovely place indeed, be it with friends or loved ones. Moreover, the prices are pretty affordable. Both Noelle and I had a great time enjoying the food, the gentle sea breeze and occasional rocking of the boat. We even explored the other decks and took lots of photos shown below. Heez... Enjoy!

Did everybody enjoy the super long holidays? I am feeling so refreshed and recharged after the 4 long days of relaxing and resting. Anyway, I met up with two lovely ladies, Noelle and Elaine last Friday for dinner at Harbourfront Sakae Sushi. We even adjourned to Harry's bar after a hearty dinner. It was a great night's out with the ladies and I really enjoyed their accompany.

After the dinner and drinks with the ladies, I was supposed to go Powerhouse to meet my dear dear and his colleagues. Super sweet Elaine asked her super sweet boyfriend to fetch me to the entrance of St James although I insisted I can walk there from Harbourfront Centre. She told me it's too dark to walk there. -_-''' Haha... Really so nice of her.

I enjoyed myself very much at Powerhouse with my dear dear that night too. Its been quite some time since I partied with him le. Below are the photos taken that night with the lovely people.

Pretty mummy glowing in happiness

Pretty babe glowing in love

I cherish sincere friends like them because they are worth it.

Great fun at Powerhouse =D

I enjoyed the most with my dear prince by my side =)

WWE is coming to Singapore this 28th July. When my dear dear got to know about it, he was so excited because he usually watch the wrestling matches from the DVDs. I was pretty excited because like Lyana, I watched wrestling when I was young too. Nowadays, I watched them with my dear dear. Its gonna be a great experience to watch it LIVE man!

So today, I went to book the tickets online for myself and my dear dear. I bought the second highest category for the tickets because I got no money to buy the first category tickets which costs $300 each =(. But nevertheless, my dear dear was thrilled when he heard that I have bought the tickets to watch WWE - SmackDown SummerSlam Tour for both of us =) I think he loves me more now. Haha...

Woke up late in the afternoon, had lunch with my dear dear, watched TV, been an audience to my dear dear while he played his PS3, did some laundry, dyed hair for my dear dear, took a short nap and went for a jog. Just a few hours ago, my dear dear brought me to Ang Mo Kio Central for our favourite western food for dinner. A beautiful day well-spent indeed =D

Woohoo!! I am so happy because yesterday was the last work day of this week for me and my dear prince. Both of us have taken leave for this Friday, which also means its a super long weekend for us =D I can sleep and wake up late with my dear prince by my side. So great isn't it?!

Anyway, my sister and I went Chinatown for some shopping and dinner yesterday after work. Because of the Great Singapore Sale cum Vesak Day eve, everywhere was packed with people. Nevertheless, both of us still enjoyed ourselves. As yesterday was the soft opening of the majestic Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum, we even had a good view of the fireworks from where we were seated while we enjoyed our bowl of Ah-Balling and not-so-tasty Rojak.

I just realized there are many people who really doesn't deserve my attention, my time, my concerns, my sympathies, my encouragements, my listening ears, my advices, my friendships, my love etc... All in all, they don't deserve anything from me. Simply because they are not worth it. They lead their own lives, I lead my own life. I have better things to do than to bother about their lives. In the very first place I wasn't even interested to bother at all. For that, I have added a new philosophy in my life which can be easily described in just one word: Whatever.

Since Friday, I was haunted by a very bad neck pain which led to a series of headaches. Couldn't sleep well and panadols doesn't help either. Was supposed to meet Esther, Marilyn and Noelle on Saturday for breakfast but couldn't make it due to the painful headaches which caused slight giddiness. Slept like a baby until 4pm before the pain went away.

To celebrate my dear dear's success in his driving test, to satisfy his cravings for Japanese cuisine and as I have promised, I brought him to Ichiban Sushi for dinner on Saturday night. Both of us ordered a set each and had some sushi. We really love Japanese cuisine. It was a filling and satisfying meal for both of us. My dear prince even thanked me for the little treat I gave him. Haha... Really sweet of him. I am glad he enjoyed the food and it cured his cravings for Japanese cuisine. At least for the time being =P

Tomorrow is a very important day for me. There's gonna be a test which I need to take and I truly hope I am up to it. Deal or no deal will have to depend on the result of the test already. Be it good or bad, it's gonna be a learning experience in my life. May luck be with me tomorrow.

These are what we ordered. Oishi!!!

Ordered green tea ice-cream for dessert. I love it!

Well, I was supposed to bring my mum out for steamboat last week for her birthday but it was postponed because she was down with a very bad flu. So after she has recovered, we decided to have the steamboat dinner on Friday. It was the first time my family tried the Mala Steamboat. Having been brought up in a family where we were exposed to spicy food since young, we have no problem with the spiciness of the Mala Steamboat. All of us really enjoyed the dinner. After dinner, we even went for some shopping at Bugis Junction. It was really great to be out with my family. I hope I can spend more time with them and bring them out more often in future. I realised as I grow older, I tend to want to stay at home to keep my family accompany compared to the old me who love to go out and chiong. Maybe I really has grown up and start to think sensibly. Or it might be the man whom I love and loves me who teaches me the correct values in life.

My fav beef, hotdogs and luncheon meat are what I always eat whenever I have steamboat

I am sure most of you have seen the hilarious advertisements lately about this Anything and Whatever drinks. I can say that their marketing strategies really not bad. Because not only the name is easy to remember but the idea somehow came from our daily lifestyle. For example when you are out with your friends for lunch and it comes to ordering drinks. More often than not, people tend to say anything. Or whatever. Don't you agree? Whatever it is, I am sure people are also curious how the drinks taste like. For the Anything drink, it's carbonated. Whereas for the Whatever drink, it's non-carbonated. This afternoon, when I went to the NTUC with my colleagues after lunch, I decided to buy one and try. Had wanted to get both but there isn't any Whatever drinks left on the shelf. Only left 3 cans of Anything drink. So I bought 1 can of Anything drink to try. Guess what? It was ice-cream soda. Hahahaha... You won't know what kind of drink or flavour you will get until you drink it. The can did not state what it is de lor. For those who have not tried, you might wanna get one of each and try. It not only quench your thirst, but in a more interesting and fun way =)

Give me Anything!

Cheers with Anything =)

My dear prince got his driving license liao!!! I am really so proud of him. For those who are very supportive and even send their wishes to him, I hereby would like to thank you for the sweet and sincere wishes. For those who have no nice wishes and unsupportive, I still thank you for your unkind comments and remarks.

Anyway, it really calls for a celebration man! Heez... My dear prince has been telling me he's been craving for sushi. His beloved baby will bring him for some sushi this weekend. He should be treated to a nice meal for the efforts he have put in and get his driving license. You are the greatest, my dear! Muacks! =D

Last Friday was my beloved mummy's birthday. I had planned to bring her and the whole family to have mala steamboat but my poor mummy was down with a very bad flu. So my sister and I went to Angie The Choice to get a durian cake to celebrate for her at home. My mum went out to see a doctor when we reached home. While waiting for her to come home, an idea strucked me. I asked my brother and sister to switch off all the lights and close the door. We decided to give her a surprise. Keke.... The three of us waited in the kitchen for like 20 - 30 mins before my mum finally came home. I quickly lighted the candle, held the birthday cake in my hands and three of us sang the birthday song when we walked to the living room. My mum was smiling when she saw us. Heez....

Yummylicious Durian Cake from Angie The Choice

As we have not had breakfast together for a long time, I woke up early and asked the whole family out for breakfast except my brother who got to go for a basketball competition. We took a bus to Causeway Point and had breakfast at MacDonalds. Even bought a pair of Shrek The Green Monster ears to support a fundraising for Ronald Macdonald Children's Charity.

We love Macdonalds!

My sister ordered Fish Platter for herself. Nice~

She was enjoying her breakfast =)

My beloved parents were enjoying the breakfast too =)

After a hearty breakfast and some shopping at Causeway Point, we took a bus back home happily. That's me and my beloved sister.

Sunday was Mothers' Day and of course I won't forget to get something to reward my dearest mother who always cooks good food for me, tidies my room for me when I am not home, cooks tonics for me to drink, mends my torn clothes and lots more. She is the greatest mother in the world in my heart. I admitted that I had caused her alot of troubles and worries when I was a teenager. But I have since learnt to be independent and sensible. I might not have told her before but I really love my mother lots lots.

Anyway, my sister and I shared a little surprise for her by ordering a gift online and had it delivered on Mothers' Day. My mother was very happy when she received it. She called and thanked me. She said she liked it very much. I was really glad that she liked it. Although abit belated, but I still wanna wish all mothers out there a Happy Mothers' Day. Mothers are always the greatest!

We planned to meet up again real soon with another 2 of my friends whom we have not met for a long time. I will be so looking forward to it. Having fallen in love with the Parmesan Fish and Chips I took last week, I suggested the dinner venue to be at Changing Appetites again. Haha...

After the movie, my dear prince brought me to the Bugis Food Market for the nice fishball noodles. $2 only wor. Look at the amount of chilli in my bowl of noodles. I love it!

I would like to sincerely thank all of them for the lovely and sweet pressies they have showered me. I really feel bad that they have to go to such expense for my birthday although it's belated.I totally appreciate all that they have done for me. I am truly blessed to have all of you as friends. Thanks once again.

Dinner last night with my family was great. All of us were so full till we almost couldn't walk sial. But it's really nice to have such dinner once in a while with everybody sitting together and have meals together. I have also uploaded the photos of the birthday cake my dear prince had it delivered to my office yesterday. The cake is so special and nice leh. My colleagues who saw the cake all couldn't bear to eat it. Heez... Lastly, I would like to thank those who sent me birthday wishes via smses and through the tagboard.

My dear prince celebrated my birthday for me 1 day in advance yesterday because he need to attend class tonight. Moreover, I also don't want him to skip class just to celebrate my birthday lor. Anyway, he brought me to watch Spiderman 3 before we went for dinner. It was a great movie man. Action-packed and I pretty much prefers the new black spiderman suit compared to the old one. Keke... It's so cool!

I know my dear prince is so looking forward to the Transformers movie. So I took a pic of the poster with him in it. He was happy =)

After the movie, my dear prince held my hands and walked me from Bugis to City Hall. On the way there, I kept bugging him where he's bringing me for dinner but he just kept quiet. The reason why I kept bugging him to tell me because I doesn't want him to spend money bringing me to those expensive restaurants. It's too much of a extravagant just for a birthday. I was surprised when I reached the entrance of the restaurant.

French cuisine always have bread, butter and olive oil on the table for the guests

Met up for dinner at Swissotel Merchant Court with my ex boss. Although I am no longer working for her, but she still remembers my birthday and even gave me a little surprise. She actually arranged someone to send this to the office yesterday and everybody in the office was thinking who it was from. They thought it's from my boyfriend but they were wrong lor. Hahaha....

It's a super attention-grabber birthday balloon!

After the dinner, I came back to my dear dear's house and received a little gift from his sister too. It's a Mango Delirium eau de toilette natural spray. The retro looking cosmetic pouch was from my ex boss and it's from Tea. So really nice of her.

Woke up this morning and my dear dear had his mummy prepared me a very nice home-cooked western breakfast. Yummy!

And a cute strawberry birthday cake as dessert =) So sweet!

So fortunate I am...

Went to Lynette's place to do my nails yesterday after work. She did a great job man! I so love the pretty nailart she did on my nails. She drew the beautiful flowers and pasted shiny diamantes on my nails after painting a nice shade of pink with a touch of glitters. After doing such a beautiful set of nailart, she didn't collect a single cent from me. She said she's not charging me for the nailart done. It's a birthday present for me. It's really so sweet of her. Concidentally, her birthday falls on the same day as me! Happy Birthday to you in advance & thanks for the pretty nails, Lynette!

My super nice sister had dinner with me and kept me accompany when I went for my manicure. Thanks Jace!

Ever since my dear prince started his night classes, his beloved baby suddenly has alot of free time to do her own stuff. Next week when his beloved baby starts her classes, the only available time for them to meet is during weekends liao.

My dear prince's night classes are on every Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. His beloved baby's night classes are on every Tuesdays and Thursdays. Want to how zun you tell me.

Since my dear prince will be having night classes on Fridays, I have scheduled all my beauty appointments on that day. At least when I am done, I can meet him after his class and go back home with him. Heez... Clever hor?

As for tomorrow, I have made an appointment with Lynette of Belle Vie Nails at Far East Plaza to do my manicure and pedicure. It's pampering time for my nails. I is a happy happy girl when it comes to pampering myself. I am sure all the ladies out there feel the same too.

By the way, I have added the nail salon's website to the list of links in my blog. Do check it out as there's a very good promotion going on for the manicure and pedicure packages. I myself have taken up a package - 6 classic manicures + 6 classic pedicures for $228. It's a very good deal lor. Moreover, the manicurist Lynette is a sweet, patient, attentive and customer-oriented lady. Heez...

This is supposed to be a short post but ended up so long. Hahaha... Ok lah. I shall stop here now. It's weekend soon. For those who are taking leave on Monday, enjoy your long weekends. For those who are not taking leave on Monday, enjoy the long weekends too because since most people are on leave on Monday, what's there left to do in the office dio boh? Cheers to long weekends and Happy Labour Day!!!

Brought my dear prince to Parkway Parade on Saturday to make a new pair of glasses at Paris Miki where my primary school classmate work. At the same time, I collected my coloured contact lenses which I asked my friend Adeline to order for me. After my dear prince had his eyesight checked, frames and lenses selected, he brought me to try out this famous char kuay tiao where he used to frequent in the past. This char kuay tiao quite special de. It's wet, not oily and the kuay tiao used are bigger than the norm. It's really nice lor. He also ordered 2 big cups of lychee and longan as desserts. Heehee... It's nice de lor~ Thanks my dear!

Besides the nailart stickers for DIY manicures and pedicures, the next beauty invention I think should be these nail seals I bought at a small cart stall. All you need to do is paste the seals on ur nails, trim according to your nail length, apply top coat over it and viola! It's easy, cheap and pweeti! =)

PS: Whoever knows where to get more of these lovely nail seals do email me ya? Thanks in advance =D

Woohoo!!! I is a happy girl because exams are over and the next 2 modules will only start after my birthday which is on the 3rd May! How to not happy right? Heez... I was literally mugging for my Quantitative Skills exam on Friday night till the next morning at about 6am. I slept for an hour before I prepared myself to go for my exam which started at 9.30am. It's been like years since I left school. And it's also been years since I burn midnight oil to study for exams. It just reminded me of the time when I was studying for my O levels. Having left school for so many years, it really took my rusty brain some time to warm up and start absorbing the theories and formulas. Anyway, I know I am so gonna score well for my 2 exams. *Confident* So to reward ourselves for the hard work we have put in for the past few weeks, my sister and I decided to have some nice food for dinner today. It's the super nice and cheap western food at Ang Mo Kio Central. Greedy us even ordered a plate of rojak lor. Want to how sinful you tell me. But both of us ate until sibeh happy lor. Let me show you the delicious chicken chop and black pepper steak we ordered just now. Start drooling!!!

Am having a little break now before I continue my revision for my exam. So since I have some time, I decide to update on my dear prince's birthday celebrations on Wednesday.

I brought him to Haru Dining at One Fullerton for dinner. I knew he had always wanted to try Kobe beef so after much research from different sources, I decided on Haru Dining. The food and service was fantastic. My dear prince was very happy that he finally get to try Kobe beef. It was really tender compared to other types of beef.

When it comes to the dessert, the set we ordered comes with just a normal ice-cream. But as I have informed the restaurant that we were there to celebrate my dear prince's birthday, they replaced it with another dessert item called Haru Tropical Delight. I was abit taken aback by the size of the dessert when they put it on our table. After placing the dessert on the table, the staff started to sing the birthday song for my dear prince. Haha, you guys should have seen his facial expression. He was literally shocked but I can see he was happy. Heez... The dessert tasted very very nice too. Yummy!

It's a LV damier wallet and he love it to bits

Happy happy customers we are =)

Not the end of the night's program yet hor. I had arranged his colleagues to gather at Marina Square Kbox for my dear prince's birthday too. Initially, he planned to celebrate his birthday at Kbox. But by the time he confirmed, it's already too late to inform his friends and colleagues. I told him I will try to arrange for him. To cut the story short, I managed to gather his colleagues BUT I told my dear prince no one can make it as they have other appointments liao.

Having eaten so full, I suggested to go Marina Square to shop. By that time his colleagues were all waiting at Kbox le. So as we passed by Kbox, I asked him since his collagues couldn't make it why don't we go and sing on our own. He said he doesn't want as he's tired. As I was notified of the room number, I held his hands and led him to the room. He kept asking where I was bringing him but I just kept quiet.

I pushed open the door, got him to go in and his colleagues who were waiting in anticipation said "Happy Birthday" to him. He was so surprised and happy to see them. He thought how come his colleagues were there when I told him they were not free. We sang birthday song and cut his second birthday cake on that day. First birthday cake was cut in the morning when his boss got someone to get him one. The party ended at about 12 plus. Very tired but happy at the same time. My dear prince enjoyed himself very much. He thanked me for all the arrangements I had made and making his birthday a very memorable one.

Went for lunch with my colleague Linda, yesterday at Top of the M. It was one of the restaurants at Meritus Mandarin. The food was pretty nice and the view was lovely. I am sure the view will be better at night. More romantic =) Moreover, it's a revolving restaurant.

My colleague, Linda.

Me!

Mushroom soup. Very tasty wor.

I ordered fish for myself.

Eh I forgot what dish is this liao.

Saw this when I was on my way home in the train with my sister just now. Total fashion disaster. For goodness sake, if you wanna wear just the leggings, pls make sure your top is long enough to cover the you-know-where. Arboh it's really damn awful looking lor. This lady was wearing grey leggings. Erm, don't you think the legs resembles ...? Oops... me bad but I am not the only one in the train looking at her just now. So ladies, pls take note if you intend to wear leggings. It's supposed to make you look pretty and trendy. Not the other way round.

Devilsbar will stop operating with effect from 31 March 2007. Although it had closed, but I will always remember all the great times I had with all the wonderful friends I know there. Lastly, I would like to thank those who came down to Devilsbar last Friday for the last time. It was great fun to end the night with our favourite theme song :"The book is on the table." I will definitely miss the place where I got to know so many fun-loving friends, where I got drunk countless times, where I bartop danced, where I spent several of my birthdays and lastly, where I met my Dear Dear.

Truth and tears clear the way to a deep and lasting friendship. I think I have more to learn in order to have deep and lasting friendships. Things have gone so out of control till I am feeling a total loss in senses and thoughts. It's about time I start sorting out my haywired thoughts and do some serious decision-making. With my exams around the corner, I hope I will not get a nervous breakdown with so many things on my mind. Anyway, I will try to blog when I am taking breaks during revisions.

Friends tell you their secrets
Friends are meant to share
Friends are meant to cheer you up,
What happens when they’re not there?

Is it hard when you don’t have
Someone to lean upon?
When you need a friend to care,
but they, your friends, have gone?

What if you were split
Up from your best friend?
Do you think you’d care
If your friendship ends?

Would you slowly drift apart,
Go in separate ways?
Or would you both grow closer
Grow closer day by day?

What if your friends started
Saying things behind your back?
Would you stand and face them,
Or would your courage lack?

Perhaps it would be safer
To let your friendships mend,
Push these thoughts behind you,
And make the questions end.

********************

I need to know if you’re my true friend,
will you be by my side until the end?
Can I tell you my secrets deep,
and trust them in your heart you’ll keep?
We are neither of us without our flaws,
can you accept mine as I will yours?
I’ll be a shoulder to cry on when you’re blue,
will you be there for me when I need you?
No matter how busy I will make time for you,
if you are busy will you make time for me too?
I will take your hand and comfort your tears,
will you hold me and soothe my fears?
I will give you joy and many warm smiles,
can we share that even across many miles?
I will not forget what’s important to you,
will you remember what’s important to me too?
With you my most favourite things I’ll share,
If only I know do you truly care?
If you can accept me as I do you,
then I will know you are a friend most true.

It's been some time since I last shopped for myself le. I mean as in really shop lor. Although I am still saving very hard, but once in a long while I will need to buy the essentials like new clothes. I can't possibly be always wearing that same few pieces to work mah. Corporate image is very important de. Anyway, all these things I bought below cost me less than $150 lor. Haha... Because in order to save money but still able to shop, the best time is to buy during SALE!!!

Thanks to those who showered me with so many nice and sweet comments =) It took me alot of determination and hard work to be the size I am now. Let me just summarised what I did to slim down that time ba. It actually comes in different ways. Before I continue, I don't slim down overnight. It took me at least 5-7 months to shed the extra weight and up till now I am still trying hard to maintain it.

I bought Hydroxycut(energy-booster) from GNC and took it 30 mins before I go for my exercise almost everyday after work. It makes you exercise even harder and longer. I took green tea capsules 3 times a day as it helps to increase metabolism. At the same time, I watch what I eat and drink lots of water.

I have also tried numerous slimming products like Slim 10, Zenical, chinese slimming teas, ang moh slimming teas, Xenical, off-the-counters fat-burners etc. Well, I won't deny I take slimming pills to lose weight BUT it must be taken with care. Slimming pills are not elixir hor. It's to assist in your weight-loss. It doesn't mean you can continue eating all the sinful food and still hope you can lose weight. You have to continue to watch your diet and exercise at least twice a week.

I will also give myself a treat at least once a month. Well, I personally feel that there's no need to torture yourself when you wanna lose weight. Certain food should be taken in moderation. Too much of something is always harmful mah. You can't miss out exercising when it comes to losing weight. It prevents your weight from bouncing back and your body will be more toned. You will look healthier too =) I am sure you won't wanna see sagging skin after you have lost the weight, am I right?

Do remember to consult your doctor before you consume any pills or engage in strenuous exercises. Don't get overly obsessed in anything, not only slimming. Being overly obsessed will only make you less attractive. Be realistic and don't push your body to lose so much weight until you look like an African refugee. Skinny is not beautiful. Curvy is.

I hope the above info can help those who wish to slim down. Happy slimming but stay healthy too =)

Am happy with who I am =D

I was chatting with Noelle darling when we started to talk about hairstyles we had since young. I told her my dear dear love the previous bob hairstyle I had. Somehow or rather, I felt that I don't seem to look good in short hairstyles like before leh. I went on to tell her I have added a new item to my new year resolution list - that's to have long hair. Haha... I told her I used to have really long hair but that time I was fat like a pig. I said I will try to show her my fat photos someday if she comes my house. But she couldn't wait lor. So I went to rummage my cupboard for the photo albums with my fat photos, took a pic of it using my digicam and sent it to her via msn. She was shocked. Her reaction was the same to those whom I showed the photos when they came to my house. My dear dear also got a shock when I showed him those photos. But before you see the following photos below, I got to warn you first hor. Because it might make you puke uncontrollably or you might turn vegetarian overnight. View at your own risk. Lastly, happy weekends to everybody!

This was taken in KL when I was 18 yrs old I think. Face blur blur de.

This was taken when I attended a company's D&D. I was 20 yrs old then. Saw the double chins and big flabby arms?

This was the longest hair length I had. FYI, it's natural straight hair, not rebonded de hor.

I think I posted these makeover photos before a long time ago. Went for this makeover when I was 16 years old. But hor it turned out to look like a 30 yr old woman lor. Kaoz -_-'''

I had an absolutely fun and crazy time at Dragonfly last night with the group of lovely darlings - Noelle, Esther, Marilyn and Kelly. We were supposed to be at Powerhouse for the Cleo's 50 Most Eligible Bachelors Finals but we couldn't get in due to the overwhelming crowd. So those who couldn't get into Powerhouse went on to Dragonfly first. But as usual, Dragonfly is also packed with people.

My dear dear was at Dragonfly with his colleagues too after having their warm-up rounds of ice-cold beer at Tiger Live for their company event. Everybody was in party mode, enjoying themselves, jio-ing their friends to drink, fiveten-ing away and not forgetting taking lots of photos.

Marilyn and Kelly were in the topic of "neh neh" for the whole of last night and made all of us laughed so much till we gasped for breath lor. They even came up with a ranking system and titles for all of our "neh neh" sizes. Even Esther's colleagues were not let off of the ranking system. LOLZ... We were crazy but not drunk lor. Below are the photos we took last night. Enjoy!

Met up with Noelle, Marilyn and Esther on Saturday for some relaxing time at Sentosa. Is's been ages since I last went to Sentosa liao. Being a beach-lover, being a sun-lover, I am so looking forward. I put on my bikini, packed my bag with suntanning oil and all the essentials before Noelle darling came to fetch me. All of us had a great time swimming, collecting seashells, building sandcastles, suntanning and chatting. Ken and Esther had a tiring time taking care of Woofie the Dog who loves to befriend big dogs. Haha... Megan had a great time with 3 aunties (Me, Noelle & Marilyn) building sandcastles and collecting seashelves too. I didn't even have time to take out my Casio Red to take photos. Esther took a few photos that day so do check out her blog ba *wink*

We were exchanging smses when I was on my way home after class. Somehow or rather, I could sense his happiness through the smses. I decided to send him a sms that read:"Eh you like sound very happy hor." And he replied by sending me a MMS of his new toy with a message that says:"I am happy because of this beauty." Hahaha...

Maybe he has been struggling to keep himself alive so that he can continue to keep watch of the house.

And maybe he has been struggling to keep himself alive so that he can be a good companion.

Having been staying with the family for 9 years, Lucky has been a good dog.

When Sugar was first introduced to him on Saturday, Lucky might be thinking it's time for him to go without worries.

Sugar will take over and keep watch of the house, be a good companion to the family and be an obedient dog.

Before Lucky breathed his last, the family tried to rush him to the dog hospital when he was discovered having breathing difficulties.

But sadly, Lucky couldn't even make it to the dog hospital.

The family members were devastated over the loss of their beloved dog.

I too felt really sad upon hearing the news.

Although Lucky has left us, but he will always remains in our heart forever.

He will always be the cute lovable playful dog in our heart.

She is really so cute and lovable. She loves walking in between people's legs and chasing Lucky around the house. She is really so sweet, like the name given to her =)

4 years ago, my ex-colleague forward this story to me. It was indeed a very meaningful story. I cried when I read it the first time. Even when I stumbled upon this story again while clearing my mailbox and read it the second time, I cried again. Therefore, I would like to share it with all of you and you will see how much a misunderstanding can lead to. It's pretty long but do take some time to read it. You won't regret it de.

********************

This is a true story, taken from "Family" (dictated by LD, edited by LSX, translated by SaFe).

Cruel misunderstandings one after another disrupted the blissful footsteps to our family. Our original intend of having Mother enjoy some quiet and peaceful moments in her remaining years with us went terribly wrong as destiny's secret is finally revealed at a price, everything became too late.

Just two years after our marriage, hubby brought up the idea of asking Mother to move from the rural hometown and spend her remaining years with us. Hubby's father passed away while he was still very young. Mother endured much hardship and struggled all on her own to provide for him, see him through to a university degree. You could say that she suffered a great deal and did everything you could expect of a woman to bring hubby to where he is today.

I immediately agreed and started packing the spare room, which has a balcony facing the South to let her enjoy the sunshine and plant some greeneries. Hubby stood in the bright room, and suddenly just picked me up and started spinning round and round. As I begged him to put me down, he said: "Lets go fetch mother."

Hubby is tall and big sized and I love to rest on his chest and enjoy the feeling that he could pick me up at any moment put the tiny me into his pockets. And whenever we have an argument and both refuses to back down, he would pick me up and spin me over his head continuously until I surrender and beg for mercy. I became addicted to this kind of panic-joy feeling.

Mother brought along her countryside habits and lifestyle with her. For example; I am so used to buying flowers to decorate the living room, she could not stand it and would comment: "I do not know how you young people spend your money, why do you buy flowers for? You also can't eat the flowers!" I smiled and said: "Mum, with flowers in the house, our mood will also become better." Mother continues to grumble away, and hubby smiled: "Mum, this is a city-people's habit; slowly you will get use to it."

Mother stopped saying anything. But every time thereafter, whenever I came home with flowers, she would ask me how much it costs. I told her and she would shake her head and express displeasure. Sometimes, when I come home with lots of shopping bags, she would ask each and every item how much they cost, and I would tell her honestly and she would get even more upset about it.

Hubby playfully pinched my nose and said: "You little fool, just don't tell her the full price of everything would solve it." There begins the friction to our otherwise happy lifestyle.

Mother hates it most when hubby wakes up early to prepare the breakfast. In your view, how could the man of the house cook for the wife? At the breakfast table, mother's facial expression is always like the dark clouds before a thunderstorm and I would pretend not to notice. She would use her chopsticks and make a lot of noise with it as her silent protest.

As I am a dance teacher in the Children's Palace and is exhausted from a long day of dancing around, I do not wish to give up the luxury of that additional few minutes in the comfort of my bed and hence I turned a deaf ear to all the protest mother makes.

From time to time, mother would help out with some housework, but soon her help created additional work for me. For example: she would keep all kinds of plastic bags accumulating them so that she sell them later on, and that resulted in our house being filled with all the trash bags; she would scrimp on dish washing detergent when helping to wash the dishes and so as not to hurt her feelings, I would quietly wash them again.

One day, late at night, mother saw me quietly washing the dishes, and "Bam" she slammed her bedroom door and cried very loudly in her room. Hubby was
placed in a difficult position, and after that, he did not speak to me for that entire night. I pretended to be a spoilt child, tried acting cute, but he totally
ignored me. I got mad and asked him: "What did I do wrong?" Hubby stared at me and said: "Can't you just give in to her once? We couldn't possibly die eating from a bowl however unclean it is, right?"

After that incident, for a long period of time, mother did not speak to me and you can feel that there is a very awkward feeling hanging in the house. During that period of cold war, hubby was caught in dilemma as to who to please.

In order to stop her son from having to prepare breakfast, mother took on the "all important" task of preparing breakfast without any prompting. At the breakfast table, mother would look at hubby happily eating his breakfast and cast that reprimanding stare at me for having failed to perform my duty as a wife. To avoid the embarrassing breakfast situation, I resorted to buying my own breakfast on my way to work.

That night, while in bed, hubby was a little upset and asked me:"LD, is it because you think that mum's cooking is not clean that's why you chose not to eat at home?" He then turned his back on me and left me alone in tears as feelings of unfairness overwhelmed me. After some time, hubby sighed:"LD, just for me, can you have breakfast at home?" I am left with no choice but to return to the breakfast table.

The next morning, I was having porridge prepared by mother and I felt a sudden churn in my stomach and everything inside seem to be rushing up my throat. I tried to suppress the urge to throw up but I couldn't. I threw down the bowl and rushed into the washroom and vomited everything out. And just as I was catching my breath, I saw mother crying and grumbling very loudly in her dialect, hubby was standing at the washroom doorway staring at me with fire burning in his eyes. I opened my mouth but no words came out of it, I really didn't mean it.

We had our very first big fight that day; mother took a look at us, then stood up and slowly made her way out of the house. Hubby gave me a final stare in the eye and followed mother down the stairs. For three days, hubby did not return home, not even a phone call.

I was so furious, since mother arrived; I had been trying my best and putting up with her, what else do you want me to do? For no reason, I keep having the feeling to throw up and I simply have no appetite for food, coupled with all the events happening at home, I was at the low point in my life. Finally, a colleague said: "LD, you look terrible, you should go and see a doctor."

The doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. Now it became clear to me why I threw up that fateful morning, a sense of sadness floated through that otherwise happy news. Why didn't hubby, and mother who had been through this before, thought of the possibility of this being the reason that day?

At the hospital entrance, I saw my hubby standing there. It had only been three days, but he looked haggard. I had wanted to turn and leave, but one look at him and my heart soften, I couldn't resist and called out to him.

He followed my voice and finally found me but he pretended that he doesn't know me; he has that disgusted look in his eyes that cut right through my heart. I told myself not to look at him anymore, and hail a cab.

At that moment, I have such a strong urge inside me to shout to my hubby:"Darling, I am having your baby!", and to have him lift me up and spin me round in circles of joy. What I wanted didn't happen and as I sat in the cab, my tears started rolling down. Why? Why our love couldn't even withstand the test of one fight? Back home, I lay on the bed thinking about my hubby, and the disgusted look in his eyes. I cried and wet the corner of the blanket.

That night, sound of the drawers opening woke me up. I switched on the lights and I saw hubby with tears rolling down his face. He was removing the money. I stared at him in silence; he ignored me, took the bank deposit book and some money and left the house. Maybe he really intends to leave me for good. What a rational man, so clear-cut in love and money matters. I gave a few dried laugh and tears starting streaming down again.

The next day, I did not go to work. I wanted to clear this out and have a good talk with hubby. I reached his office and his secretary gave me a weird look and said:"Mr. Tan's mother had a traffic accident and is now in the hospital." I stood there in shock. I rushed to the hospital and by the time I found hubby, mother had
already passed away. Hubby did not look at me, his face was expressionless.

I looked at mother's pale white and thin face and I couldn't control the tears in my eyes. My god, how could this happen? Throughout the funeral, hubby did say a single word to me, with only the occasional disgusted stare at me. I only managed to find out brief facts about the accident from other people.

That day, after mother left the house, she walked in dazed towards the bus stop, apparently intending to go back to her old house back in the countryside.As hubby ran after her, she tried to walk faster and as she tried to cross the street, a public bus came and hit her...

I finally understood how much hubby must hate me, if I had not thrown up that morning, if we had not quarrelled, if... In his heart, I am indirectly the killer of his mother.

Hubby moved into mother's room and came home every night with a strong liquor smell on him. And me, I am buried under the guilt and self pity and could hardly breathe. I wanted to explain to him, tell him that we are going to have our baby soon, but each time, I saw the dead look in his eyes, all the words I have at the brink of my mouth just fell back in. I had rather he hit me real hard or give me a big and thorough scolding though none of these events happening had been my fault at all.

Many days of suffocating silence went by and as the days went by, hubby came home later and later. The deadlock between us continues, we were living together like strangers who don't know each other. I am like the dead knot in his heart.

One day, I passed by a western restaurant, looking into the glass window, I saw hubby and a girl I didn't know sitting facing each other and he very lightly brushed her hair for her, I understood what it meant.

After recovering from that moment of shock, I entered the restaurant, stood in front of my hubby and stared hard at him, not a tear in my eyes. I have nothing to say to him, and there is no need to say anything. The girl looked at me, looks at hubby, stands up and wanted to go, hubby stretched out his hand and stopped her. He stared back at me, challenging me. I can only hear my slow heart beat, beating, one by one as if at the brink of death. I eventually backed down, if I had stood that any longer, I will collapse together with the baby inside me.

That night, he did not come home, he had chosen to use that as a way to indicate to me. Following mother's death so did our love for each other. He did not come home anymore after that. Sometimes, when I returned home from work, I can tell that the cupboard had been touched - he had returned to take some of his stuff.

I no longer wish to call him; the initial desire to explain everything to him had vanished. I lived alone; I go for my medical checkups alone, my heart breaks again and again every time I see a guy carefully helping his wife through the physical examination. My office colleagues hinted to me to consider aborting the baby, I told them,"No, I will not." I insisted on having this baby, perhaps it is my way of repaying mother for causing her death.

One day, I came home and I saw hubby sitting in the living room. The whole house was filled with cigarette smoke. On the coffee table, there was this piece of paper. I know what it is all about without even looking at it.

In the two months plus of living alone, I have gradually learned to find peace within myself. I looked at him, removed my hat and said: "You wait for a while, I will sign." He looked at me, mixed feelings in his eyes, just like mine. As I hang up my coat, I keep repeating to myself "You cannot cry, you cannot cry..." my eyes hurt terribly, but I refused to let tears come out from there.

After I hung up my coat, hubby's eyes stared fixed at my bulging
tummy. I smiled, walked over to the coffee table and pull the paper towards me.
Without even looking at what it says, I signed my name on it and pushed the
paper to him.

"LD, you are pregnant?" Since mother's accident, this is the first time he spoke to me. I could not control my tears any further and they fell like raindrops. I said: "Yes, but its ok, you can leave now."

He did not go, in the dark, we sat, facing each other. Hubby slowly moved over me, his tears wet the blanket. In my heart, everything seems so far away,so far that even if I sprint, I could never reach them. I cannot remember how many times he repeated "sorry" to me. I had really originally thought that I would forgive him, but now I can't.

In the western restaurant, in front of that girl, that cold look in his eyes, I will never forget, ever. We have drawn such deep scars in each other's heart. For me, its unintentional; for him, totally intentional.

I had been waiting for this moment of reconciliation, but I realized now,what had gone past is gone forever and could not repeated. Other than the thought of the baby inside me that would bring some warmth to my heart, I am totally cold towards him, I no longer eat anything he buys for me, I don't take any presents from him and I stopped talking to him.

From the moment I signed on that piece of paper, marriage and love had vanished from my heart. Sometimes, hubby will try to come into the bedroom, but when he walks in, I will walk out to the living room. He had no choice but to sleep in mother's room.

At night, from his room, I can hear light sounds of groaning, I kept quiet. This used to be his trick; last time, whenever I ignore him, he would fake illness and I will surrender and find out what is wrong with him, he would then grab me and laugh. He has forgotten that last time; I cared for him and am concerned because there is love, but now, what is there between us?

Hubby's groaning came on and off continuing all the way till baby was born. Almost everyday, he would buy something for the baby, infant products, children products and books that kids like to read. Bags and bags of it stacked inside his room till it is full. I know he is trying to use this to reach out to me,but I am no longer moved by his actions.

He has no choice but to lock himself in his room and I can hear his typing away on his computer keyboard, maybe he is now addicted to web surfing,
but none of that matters to me anymore.

It was sometime towards the end of spring in the following year, one late night, I screamed because of a sudden stomach pain, hubby came rushing into the room, it is like he did not change and sleep, and had been waiting for this moment. He carried me and ran down the stairs, stopped a car, holding my hand very tightly and kept wiping the sweat off my brows, throughout the journey to the hospital.

Once we reached the hospital, he carried me and hurried into the delivery suite. Lying on the back of his skinny but warmth body, a thought crossed my mind: In my lifetime, who else would love me as much as he did? He held the delivery suite door opened and watch me go in, his warm eyes caused me to manage a smile at him despite my contraction pain.

Coming out of the delivery room, hubby looked at our son, and me, his eyes teared with joy and he kept smiling. I reached out and touched his hand. Hubby looked at me, smiling and then he slowly collapsed onto the floor. I cried out for him in pain... He smiled, but without opening that tired eyes of his. I had thought that I would never shed any tears for him, but the truth is, I have never felt a deeper pain cutting through my body at that moment.

Doctor said that by the time hubby discovered he had liver cancer, it was already in terminal stage and it was a miracle that he managed to last this long. I asked the doctor when did he first discover he had cancer? Doctor said about 5 months ago and consoled me saying: "Prepare for his funeral."

I disregarded the nurse's objection and rushed home, I went into his room and checked his computer, and a suffocating pain hits me. Hubby's cancer was discovered 5 months ago, his groaning was real, and I had thought that... the computer showed over 200 thousand words he wrote for our son:

"Son, just for you, I have persisted, to be able to take a look at you before I fall, is my biggest wish now.... I know that in your life, you will have many happiness and maybe some setbacks, if only I can accompany you throughout that journey, how nice would it be. But daddy now no longer has that chance. Daddy has written inside here all the possible difficulties and problems you may encounter during your lifetime, when you meet with these problems, you can refer to daddy's suggestions...

Son, after writing these 200 thousand words, I feel as if I have accompanied you throughout your life journey. And to be honest, daddy is very happy. Do love your mother, she has suffered, she is the one who loves you most and also the one who loves me most..."

From play school to primary school, to secondary, university, to work and even in dealing with questions of love, everything big and small was written there.

Hubby has also written a letter for me: "My dear, to marry you is my biggest happiness, forgive me for the pain I have caused you, forgive me for not telling you my illness, because I want to see you be in a joyful mood waiting for the arrival of our baby... My dear, if you cried, it means that you have forgiven me and I would smile, thank you for loving me... These presents, I'm afraid I cannot give them to our son personally, could you help me to give some of them to him every year, the dates on what to give are all written on the packaging..."

Going back to the hospital, hubby is still in coma. I brought our son over and place him beside him. I said: "Open your eyes and smile, I want our son to remember being in the warmth of your arms..."

He struggled to open his eyes and managed a weak smile. Our son still in his arms was happily waving his tiny hands in the air. I press the button on the camera and the sound of the shutter rang through the air as tears slowly rolled down my face...

A fatal misunderstanding and the person who love me the most in this world is gone forever.

The end...

Hello everybody! How's your Chinese New Year and ang baos collecting? As for me, ang baos of course getting lesser but there is one thing that's getting more every year. That's the number of times this particular question the relatives asked. "When are you getting married ah?" *roll eyes*

Eh I was thinking besides that question, they don't have other things to ask liao meh. Every year they see me, they ask the same question. Beri the boring one leh. To counter their questions, I prepared a 2-line answer for them. "Very soon liao. Start preparing a big ang bao for me hor." No more no less. Short and sweet.

I think I must have stuffed myself with too much bak gua, pineapple tarts, Ferrero Rocher chocolates and 1 big bottle of Hello Panda my dear dear bought for me plus the many sleepless nights, which caused my body temperature to shoot up to 38.3 degree celcius as certified by the doctor to be high fever. My whole body aching like crazy lor. So you all should be grateful and touched that I blog first before I head to bed and rest. Heehee.... ok la. The effects of the medicine is causing me to spin liao. Enjoy the photos ba.

Pweeti me on the way to my dear dear's house on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Me and my dear dear took a pic first while we waited for his colleagues to come his house on the second day of Lunar New Year.

This is not an ordinary Coke hor. It's mixed with generous amount of Chivas. Shiok!

Eat pizzas and KFC with the potent Coke mixture = Perfect Match!

Everybody was hungry le wor...

Everybody took a lucky photo first before starting the game of "Dai Dee" =D

It's Lunar New Year Eve le. Have all of you spring-clean your house? Have all of you gotten a set or two of new clothes? New shoes? New lingerie? Hahaha... Well, I have done all the above and I truly hope all of you have done them too. There's a common saying : Throw away the old things to make space for the new things. That's why I have thrown away alot of old shoes and clothes during spring-cleaning to make more space for more new clothes, more new shoes and more new bags. Ok la, I think I better don't be so lor soh. May all of you have a great reunion dinner with your family and collect lots of ang baos. Lastly I would like to wish everybody good health and good wealth in this piggy year. Everybody HUAT ah!!!!!!!

I was going back to my desk after a meeting this afternoon when I saw something on my table from afar. As I walked closer, my heart skipped a beat. I sat down on my chair and took a look at the card. I was so touched and nearly cried because it's from my beloved dear dear. It was indeed a very sweet and lovely surprise from him. He had already given me the present last night and I really didn't expect him to send flowers to my office. My dear dear was running a fever and resting at home but at the same time he's worried that the delivery of the flowers will go wrong or undelivered.

Dear dear, thanks for the lovely present and flowers you have given baby. Baby like it very much and really appreciate your thoughtfulness. I am sorry to have made you gone to such expense again. Happy Valentine's Day and Baby love you always.

Lastly, I would like to wish everybody a Happy Valentine's Day too =)

Met up with my lovely darlings for dinner just now after my pedicure. It was really nice to meet up with them especially Marilyn and Esther whom I have not met up with for quite some time le. As usual, we had a great time chatting, laughing and taking photos. With most of us so caught up with work and other commitments, it's getting difficult to meet up at times. But when we do meet up, we treasure every moment of it. Strangely, we don't discuss about our jobs or unsolved problems. We will just share funny experiences that happened lately, latest fashion, how we will be spending our Chinese New Year and the list goes on. It's all topics that's free from stress. Great isn't it? But there are also times when we do meet up to talk about our future, career and relationships. It feels really good to know that I have a group of friends who will be there for me when I wanna share not only sorrows but also joys. I am really blessed to know these darlings as friends. Enjoy the wonderful photos of friendship below ba =)

Organised a super belated gathering with the pretty babes I knew from a pink beauty forum called FlowerPod 3-4 years ago. It's really not easy to choose a date to meet up because everybody is busy with their jobs. So after much discussions, the date was set on yesterday. Although only a few turned up, but we still had lots of fun last night. We were practically sharing whatever latest news we have of other podders (A special term for Flowerpod forum members) to topics of who's getting married, who's married, nasty brainless customers and much more. It was really really nice to see them again last night. We were saying maybe the next time we meet up, we will have our kids running around liao. I am really so glad they are all doing well now. Am so looking forward to meeting them again =)

Last night at PowerHouse was really great! It was a night full of drinking, dancing, laughing and even free shows on catfights to see leh. Apparantly, the place we were standing around was kinda like a table cum platform.

Four girls were dancing up there when suddenly 1 of the girl fell towards our side and spilled our drinks. She stood up, turned to confront the girl who stood behind her, accusing her of making her to fall. After like 5 mins of talking, the girl who fell got down but her friend named A went up to dance.

15 - 20 mins later, that Friend A fell too and towards our side again. This time the impact was bigger. Glasses dropped to the floor and drinks were spilled. Heng our bottle of liquor didn't dropped if not that bloody bitch sure also kerna from me.

Back to the story, Friend A stood up and confronted that same bitch who pushed her friend down just now. While the commotion was going on, the music was playing "What are you waiting for" by Gwen Stefani. The 2 girls were pushing and shouting at each other, but didn't fight lor. Me and Ah Ju started to sing:"Hey whatcha ya waiting, whatcha ya waiting, whatcha ya waiting for..." while we stood below and see the free show. Eh we beri bad but who cares dio boh?

Friends of those 2 girls came to get them down. The funny thing is the bouncers there don't seem to react as fast as Devilsbar bouncers. To cut the story short, after the 2 girls got down, one of the girls' friend went up and danced alone. I was like,"Oh my goodness! She still have the mood to dance instead of leaving the place with her friends..." All these people really spoil mood one lor. Enough of story-telling liao, below are the photos taken last night with my Casio Red. Enjoy!

Noelle darling came to fetch me to her house to prepare and doll up ourselves before we headed to Powerhouse. Our initial theme was Bling Bling cum Hip-Hop. The look was totally cool and I so love it =)

Both of us have the same digicam. Our beloved Casio Red =)

While we were waiting for Ju darling, we saw Clyde and we ended up partying together

After dancing for a while, me and Noelle darling started to zilian. We simply love taking photos!

Yeah! I have finally gotten myself a digicam le! With my Casio Red, I can now take lots and lots of photos. Another item striked off from my wishlist =)

Have fallen in love with the colour red for several months liao. Which also means I am no longer a pink lover. Red is also my lucky colour wor. I am practically getting new shoes, new clothes and new bags in bright striking red. I so love it! And of course I won't dress myself up like a big angbao although Chinese New Year is coming lor =D

Gonna head to bed now. There's classes tomorrow and it's also the deadline to submit the project. May everybody have a great day at work or school tomorrow. Oyasuminasai.

Last Friday, I met up with Noelle darling for lunch and were discussing where to go at night since clubbing at Dragonfly with the rest of the darlings were cancelled. So after much discussions, both Noelle darling and I decided to go KTV on our own. Haha... Well, 2 people also can go sing KTV dio boh? So after work, she came to fetch me and off we went to the Party World at International Building for our KTV session. Ju darling came to join us too. Didn't took any photos because we were busy karaoke-ing. Ju darling was in party mode and kept persuading me and Noelle darling to go chiong with her. Seeing the time still early(9pm), we decided to go Dragonfly for a while since Noelle darling wanna check it out too. When we reached there, the queue was still ok. By the time Noelle darling and I left which was about 11 plus, the queue was terribly long for both members, non-members and re-entry. While Ju darling was waiting for her dear friends, Noelle darling and I headed back home. Although it's only for a short while, but we did enjoyed ourselves. Even when we were on our way home, Noelle and myself had a good laugh when something really funny happened. Anyway, below are some of the photos taken when we were at Dragonfly. Enjoy!

Last Friday was pretty fun at Dragonfly with my dear dear and his colleagues. Birthday girl Cindy was 90% knocked out by the many many cups of birthday wishes and sabos close to 2am. As for me, I enjoyed the cantopop sessions when the singers started singing with dancers dancing around them. Retro music started to play after the first cantopop session. I simply can't dance with retro music de lor. So off I went to PowerHouse with some of my dear dear's colleagues to dance while my dear dear continued his drinking with his other colleagues. Well, I think I will go Dragonfly again. Heez... Didn't bring digicam that night so I only took a few photos using my dear dear's handphone. Tomorrow is Friday again and was supposed to go party with my darlings but it seemed like most of them are busy. Anyway, I will try to arrange again when they are more free ba. May everybody have a great weekend =) Oh ya, I have also posted the photo when I did the eyelashes extension.

Happy me =)

Me and my dear prince

GSGYMXBG = Gam Sia Guan Yin Mah Xi Bai Gor =Thanks Guan Yin Mah It's Friday =) I know it sounds pretty weird when I directly translate it from English to Hokkien, but I just feel like it because it's weekends again! I have absolutely no stress now because no more driving lessons for me liao. Thanks to those who tagged and smsed to congratulate me =)

Anyway, tonight is party time for me. Wanted to arrange to meet my darlings but Noelle darling will be heading to Malaysia for her D&D. So most probably will meet them next week ba. Today is my dear dear's colleague, Cindy's birthday and she have invited me to her birthday celebrations at DragonFly. I have not been there before so will check it out tonight. Nobody will be driving tonight, so it's gonna be drinking and more drinking. At the same time, I can have a little celebration for myself. I deserve to be rewarded de lor.

If anyone of you are heading down to DragonFly tonight, enjoy yourselves too! May everybody have a great weekend ahead =) Take care and have fun.

PS : A special note to my dearest babe Elaine. I am really very very happy for you that you have found the one whom you love and love you so much. All the best to you and your new-found love. Stay happy and pretty always =)

I know it's a tad too late to wish you all Happy New Year now but it's better to be late than never right? *wink* Well, I didn't really do much since the long holidays started on Friday. Been shopping, eating good food, having lots of beauty sleep, tidy up my bedroom, tidy up my dear dear's bedroom, throw away all the old clothes and shoes, change the bedsheets, having drinking sessions at my dear dear's house with his friends, going for my driving lessons, doing my projects, went to the new IKEA at Tampines and having movie marathons at the comfort of my dear dear's room. It's shiok de lor. With lots of rest during the long holidays, it will allow me to work even harder and longer for 2007. In order not to bore you all with a lengthy update on my first post of 2007, I will hereby wish everybody good health, good fortune, good career and happiness in 2007 =)

It's been raining and raining for hours which turned into days. Alot of places were flooded due to the constant downpour, which also dampens the holiday moods of many people. Really damn boring lor. Wanna go out must carry umbrella. Traffic jams plus heavy human traffic. Sang nao jing ah...

Anyway, in order not to further dampen my mood, I made an appointment for my waxing and IPL after work. Did a little bit of shopping after that. Robinsons at Centrepoint is having sale and as usual there's alot of people shopping for good bargains. Since I still have the vouchers from my dear dear, I decided to check out the Robinsons sale with my sister. I only managed to buy a bottle of JaDore perfume for myself lor. It's too crowded and the queues at the cashiers were very long.

After making payment, my sister and I went to Far East Plaza to continue our shopping instead. When we reached there, we were surprised it's pretty quiet. Not much shoppers. We window-shopped for a while, then we headed to Wisma Atria for dinner before going back home. Although it's raining, but there's still alot of people shopping at Orchard. It's Wednesday tomorrow liao. 2 more days and it's weekends again. Hurray!

My new 100ml JaDore perfume

Ayumi-alike fake nails I bought from Far East Plaza. Gonna stick them on before I go party this weekend. Pretty pretty =)

My sister bought one for herself too.

While I was trimming my toe nails just now, my right big toe nail came off. Haiz. Pretty much expected because I damn suay always kerna stepped or kicked at the feet at crowded places. And also because got nail fungus infection before. Came off also good la. Let new nails grow lor.

My dear dear brought me to Victoria Concert Hall to attend a musical symphony on Saturday. We went there to listen to the music composed by Yasunori Mitsuda. He is one of the most loved video game music composers out there. Some of the music we heard that night composed by Yasunori Mitsuda are the video game music of Chrono Cross and Xenosaga. There's also music from Final Fantasy, Digimon and Super Mario Brothers. It's really cool! The music was really beautiful. They were all played by violin, guitar, piano and percussion. My dear dear and his colleague bought the CDs and had them autographed too. I really enjoyed the night and the beautiful music. See the following photos taken that night ba.

Went to watch Death Note 2 with my dear dear last night. All I can say about the movie was fantastic. The story line and the characters were great! Especially the two actors, Light and Ryuzaki. Their acting skills are really good. For those who haven't catch it, don't miss it. Ok la. Tomorrow got to work liao. Holidays always end so fast de. But it's alright because another long holiday is coming! Hurray!!!

Me and my dear dear at Suntec City Marche, waiting for his 2 colleagues who will be attending the musical symphony too.

My Christmas celebration started on Friday with my Japanese colleagues in a Japanese restaurant at Millenia Walk. The place was nice and the food was great. All of us had fun chatting, drinking Japanese sake, taking photos, enjoying the food and exchanging Christmas gifts.

After the dinner, I went to St James Power House to meet my dear dear and his colleagues for another round of drinking and partying. Was supposed to go Dragonfly de but in the end we didn't. We went to the one next to Dragonfly but I didn't know what's the name liao. Anyway, it's my first time there. After checking out the place, I know why so many people are heading there to party liao. I did enjoyed myself very much that night. Hehe... I think I should check out Dragonfly real soon. Well, below are the photos taken on Friday. Enjoy! Lastly, Merry Christmas to everybody!!!

Me and Linda reached the restaurant first and started taking photos while waiting for the rest.

The food we had that night. Oiishi!

Today is my beloved sister's 23rd birthday. To celebrate her birthday, my mum cooked all her favourite food for dinner just now. It's purely a simple celebration with my family at home. And of course not forgetting the birthday pressie for my sister. Knowing that she's been wanting to have a mp3 player, I bought her the new 1GB IPOD SHUFFLE. The IPOD SHUFFLE is personalised with "JACE 20.12.06" on it. When you order online, there is free laser engraving available. Nice right? When my sister opened the present just now, she was so happy. And now she's busy loading songs to her IPOD SHUFFLE.

This week is a really busy one for me. Monday I took half day leave to go Tuas with my sister to collect her notebook. Yesterday I went to meet my very-long-time-no-meet Flowerpod forum friend, Celia, at Jurong East for dinner. Today got to celebrate my sister's birthday and appointment to do my 3D eyelash extension. (Will try to upload pictures of my 3D eyelash extension soon) Tomorrow I will be meeting my ex-boss for dinner. Friday I will be having dinner cum drinking session cum mini xmas celebration with my Japanese colleagues at a Japanese restaurant. Saturday, my dear dear will be bringing me to Victoria Concert Hall to listen to Passion Music Synphony. Sunday(Christmas Eve), I will have driving lessons in the afternoon. Then at night, my dear dear will be coming over to my house for dinner. That's all for now I think. Gonna sleep liao. Beri tired. Goodnight!

These are what my dear mummy cooked.

This is the birthday card I gave my sister. So pretty hor...

My happy sister when she just received the present from me.

See the big smile on her face?

My dear dear brought me to Black Angus Fullerton for our anniversary dinner last night. The food and ambience were great. The restaurant's service was very good too. The beef I ordered was juicy and tasted really nice. And also not forgetting having a glass of red wine to complement the beef we ate. Oishi nehz!!! I would like to thank my dear dear for the lovely arrangement last night. After the dinner, both of us walked hand-in-hand along the bridge from Fullerton to Esplanade. It was really romantic. Dear dear, thanks for the lovely night. Muacks!

Cheers with my glass of red wine

Here comes the bread and soup

This is what I ordered for myself - Medium rare beef =)

Went to this Korean restaurant called Da Chang Jin near my office for lunch with my colleagues yesterday. It's actually my second time there. My first time there was with my colleague, Linda and my new CEO for an "CEO & staff session". The food was not bad and the price pretty reasonable. Well, I don't say further le. Just take a look at some of the photos I took ba.

This is the front cover of the menu.

This is how the full set of the korea food look like. So much food hor...

This is the first dish they serve before your set meal. It's porridge with some meat and veg. Nice...

Next they will serve small dishes of korean "xiao cai". It's pretty standard de. Most of them are veggies in small quantities.

This is kimchi fried rice. Taste great too!

After the meals, we ordered some tea. The restaurant recommended us to try plum tea. It's cold de. Taste sweet. Nice too =)

This is hot milk tea. Not too sweet and taste great. Very different from those milk tea I tried outside.

Lastly, before I end, I would like to wish my dear dear Happy 2 years Anniversary. Baby love you always. Hope you like the gift. Don't forget our date tomorrow. Muacks!

Although our love journey is full of ups and downs, but I am just so glad I still have my dear dear by my side till now.

By the way, a little news to share with all of you. My dear dear and I have applied for a flat. Now waiting to hear from HDB whether our application is successful or not. My dear dear and I are starting to plan for our future. It's also time to start saving up for everything le. To start saving from scratch isn't easy but I am sure I can do it de. I just try not to shop or indulge too much lor. I think I should be able to save more de.

My boss is going back to France for holidays soon so got to book his flights etc. Need to do some Xmas shopping too. Got to meet up with my ex-colleagues for dinner.

My new toy - Asus Notebook

Went to Sitex 2006 at S'pore Expo yesterday. Previously, I have done my research on the type of notebook I wanna buy. Yesterday was to see whether got any extra freebies with the purchase of a notebook. Finally, the one I have been aiming since my research started had a very good deal at the Sitex. So I bought it there and then. Paid $2000 plus and left Sitex with a big hole in my wallet but with a big smile on my face. Am so happy now because I can blog at home at the comfort of my bed. In fact, I am actually updating this post using my new notebook. The specifications of this notebook is really good lor. Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 14" WXGA display, DVD combo, Hard disk 100GB, RAM 2GB, Blue-tooth, Graphic Nvidia GeForce Go 7300 and VGA video camera. With that price I paid, this notebook can last me for pretty long. Ok la. Got to go now. Gonna continue exploring my new toy. Will blog again. By the way, you can check out Kelly darling's blog for the photos taken at Devilsbar on Friday =) I just went for a hair trim at Gorgeous. Ciao!

PS : By the way, somebody out there has been trying to impersonate me by tagging and replying in my tagboard. I do not know who that impersonator is but I know that person is damn boliao lor. So readers out there, be careful when you see the replies. Will change or remove the tagboard soon.

Last saturday, I went back to my secondary school for the first time after my gradution 8 years ago. The reason why I went back was to have the last look of the school where I studied for 4 years. Ghim Moh Secondary School will be moving out of it's premises to merge with Jin Tai Secondary School and yesterday was a farewell party for ex-students of GMSS.

When I went back, there were several teachers who used to teach me are still teaching in GMSS. Most of them will be moving over to the new school to continue teaching too. Photos of every year's orientations and school activities can be seen as I walked along the corridors. Fond memories of my 4 years in the school slowly appeared in my mind. I went to the classrooms where I used to have my lessons, wanting to take a seat where I used to sit. But too bad, all the chairs and tables had already been removed.

After walking down the memory lane around the school, it's time to assemble at the assembly area to sing for the last time - the school song. It's weird how everybody started to sing when the music started playing because when we were still students, we just refused to open our mouths to sing the school song. Haha... After the school song, everybody took a group photo to end the farewell party.

I am really glad that I went back for the farewell party. I am also proud to be a student of Ghim Moh Secondary School. And I will always remember our school's motto, Strive and Persevere.

My secondary school and my beloved teachers

On our way in the van to the harbour. Drank till 1am the night before, slept at 3am and woke up at 6am to prepare ourselves for the phi phi island tour. See the shagged faces?

Time to set off to phi phi island

Me & Linda on the ferry

A new Australian friend we made on the ferry

Both of us enjoying the sea breeze and the sunshine

Beautiful sceneries captured during the 2 hours long ferry ride

Still enjoying the sea breeze with beautiful sceneries passing behind us

Reaching phi phi island liao....

All these are for snorkelling and diving users de

Time to snorkel!!! It's pretty difficult in the beginning because we kept using the nose instead of the mouth to breathe. Dunno drank how many mouthfuls of the salty seawater lor. But it's worth it because we saw alot of nice lovely fishes and corals. So beautiful...

After snorkelling, we went for our lunch.

After our lunch, we explored the place and came to know that they are rebuilding the village as they were also affected by the tsunami.

Linda relaxing before going for a dip in the water

Lovely beach at phi phi island

I was already very far away from the shore but the water is still so shallow lor. Can lie down somemore. Shiok!

Saw this golden retriever having a good time in the water while his owners were at the other end enjoying too.

The water is so clear

A lovely picture I took. Linda looking out to the sea.

The rocks got sea shelves de wor

We went back to Patong beach for jet-ski on our last day in Phuket. It was a very fun water sport.

We so love water sports and totally enjoyed ourselves in Phuket

After jet-ski and abit of suntanning, we decided to head to MacDonalds for a quick lunch before we went back to our hotel and get prepared to go for a much-needed massage.

On the way for massage liao!

The room where I did my oil massage. It's heavenly man~ Before I did my oil massage, I had an hour's of Thai massage. Woohoo~ Sibeh shiok lor...

Took a picture with the receptionist after my massage.

Next we went elephant trekking

The guide who will direct the elephant the way up the rocky path

Elephant trekking is so fun! More photos with the elephant

After the elephant trekking, we continued our city tour. We went to a cashew nut factory

They also have cashew nut juice sial.

Not wanting to go any more of those factories, we decided to get our tour guide to bring us to the Phuket Zoo

Elephant Show : Elephant also know how to play football hor

Their zoo more like crocodile farm lor. Everywhere we see crocodiles.

They even have dinosaurs in the zoo

It only took us 30 mins to explore the whole zoo lor. You know why? All the directional signboards are like that only lor -_-'''

After the zoo visit, we went to a famous temple to pray and the temple is in Chalong.

After a long day, the tour guide sent us back to the hotel for our dinner which was provided. After a light dinner, we went out for drinks at a nice pub near the Patong beach.

Linda went to do hair beading for 200 baht while I do manicure for 100 baht =) before we went for drinks.

My colleague, Linda and I had seafood for dinner on the first night after we checked into our hotel

The two of us were not very hungry but also dunno why we ordered so much food lor.

Me enjoying my bowl of tom yum soup

See Linda's satisfied face and the table filled with food

Halfway through our dinner, these two lovely japanese ladies sat down at the table beside us. Since both Linda and myself took japanese lessons in the office, we decided to put the new language we learnt into practise. Keke... Imagine the four of us were speaking in a mixture of English and Japanese. Quite funny lor. It’s also their first night in Phuket and they stayed in the same hotel as us.

4 kawaii ladies were happy after a hearty dinner and it's time for shopping!

Saw a Muay Thai Boxing Stadium while we explored the place. Cool man~

Took pic with the pretty cabaret "ladies"

There's a lot of clubs along the Bangla Street in Phuket and very happening one lor. Like this one hor, the girls wore short school uniforms and danced up at the bar-top.

We passed by alot of restaurants too. Saw the lobster boh? Damn big sial... Cheap also lor...

It's a lovely tile that we saw on the floor when we realized we have walked to Patong Beach liao.

When the four of us were on our way back to the hotel, something happened. We were about to cross the road when suddenly a lot of police cars came. There's a lot of commotion going on about a few metres away from us. We saw a policeman pinning a man down on the car wanting to arrest him. Then don't know why the man managed to escape and tried to run but was caught again by another policeman. The four of us were so scared that the bad guy will run towards our way lor. When the coast was cleared, we quickly crossed the road to the other side. Really dangerous man...

My Company's Teambuilding event at Batam was a big success. My colleagues enjoyed themselves very much. The bosses sang praises of the great job the recreation committee members have done for the whole event. It's really not easy to coordinate and making sure the event runs smoothly till the end. But after seeing everybody so happy and enjoying themselves, the hard work is worth it. Myself and the other 3 recreation committee members even treat ourselves to a lunch at a Japanese restaurant with the remaining budget. Buay pai hor~

Anyway, after we made sure everybody have gotten their boarding pass to go back to S'pore on Saturday, my 2 colleagues and I went on for Cable Skiing. It's really fun! It's my first time trying and it's really not easy lor. You can go to Cable Ski to find out more about this watersports. The rates are pretty affordable too. Maybe I should arrange to go again with my darlings =) Ok la. I got to go start packing my luggage for my Phuket trip liao. Hurray!!! Phuket... here I come!!!

Before I end my post, I would like to wish my dearest Apple darling Happy Birthday. Although I can't celebrate your birthday for you on the exact day, but I'm gonna make sure you enjoy yourself when we go KL together next Monday, ok? Wait for me to come back from Phuket hor.

Busy is always better than having nothing to do. Not only work that's keeping me busy, I have quite abit of travelling for the next few weeks.

13 Oct - 14 Oct Company's Teambuilding in Batam
19 Oct - 22 Oct Having my holiday in Phuket
23 Oct - 24 Oct KL shopping cum clubbing trip with Apple darling
07 Nov - 10 Nov My department's IT Conference in New Delhi, India

See the list above? Shiok boh? Haha... Imagine I touched down in S'pore after my Phuket trip on 24 Oct at 10.55pm. Then next morning taking the 8am coach to KL. I told Apple I zitao don't even need to unpack my luggage lor. Lolz. But as long as she is happy can le. This KL trip was decided by me on Monday only. When I smsed Apple about my idea, she was so happy and excited about it. She even said she love me so much lor. Wahaha... Anyway, both of us are going to enjoy ourselves though it's only a short trip. I so love holidays!!!

Happy belated mooncake festival to everybody! This year's mooncake festival is slightly different. We are celebrating with a hazy atmosphere like the Genting Highlands plus the bad burning smell. Oh ya, remember not to eat too much mooncakes wor. Because 1 mooncake = 1000 calories. That's alot can~

Firstly, thanks to those who are concerned about me after reading my previous post. To those people who thought they really know me well just by reading my blog, I just wanna let you know you don't. Don't assume how I lead my life. Even to my friends, they don't really know me very well too. So please for goodness's sake, don't assume my unhappiness comes from my love life. Life is like a bed of roses. Nice to look at but once you pushed things too hard, you will pricked yourself by the thorns.

Bad PMS caused me to be moody. Heavy workload caused me to feel stressed up. High frequency of falling sick caused me to feel weak. Building up of stress caused me to have insomnia. All these added up to a big D = Depression. By writing it out how I felt in my blog it's just a form of relief to the stress levels. Not meant for people to judge me or tell me how my life have changed.

To those who are truly concerned about me, I really appreciate it. I am fine now because the time of the month is over. Stress levels have decreased slightly abit because I have finally registered for my diploma course and have already received the acceptance letter from the school. And the preparation for my company's Batam Teambuilding Outing are mostly done. 6 more days to the Batam's Teambuilding Outing and 12 more days to my Phuket holiday trip! I am so looking forward to my Phuket holiday trip man! The sun, sea and sand!!! Woohoo =)

Went to watch the movie "Stay Alive" with my dear dear yesterday at Cineleisure. The movie is about a group of teenagers who possessed a horror survival videogame. They are not supposed to have it but they are unable to resist the temptation to play the game. As they played, they realised they are each murdered in the same method as the character they played in the game. This movie really give you the chills throughout the whole show. Make you damn ganjiong at the same time also lor. Really buay pai. Even if you are not a gamer, you can watch this movie too. It's like you are damn scared to see but still curious to know what happen next. Very nb but horror movies always like that one mah. Haha...

Tomorrow is Monday again. Beginning of a brand new week. How time flies! It's October liao. It's time to review the resolutions I have made for this year and see what have not been accomplished yet. Sang nao jing~ Also don't know why, I have been feeling pretty depressed lately. I don't wish to do anything. I don't wish to see anybody. I don't wish to go anywhere. Everything just doesn't seem to go right for me. It's definitely not PMS. Something is wrong somewhere but I do not know what it is. Life becomes boring suddenly. I am not happy at all. It's time for me to do some soul-searching and reflections. I need to find back my happiness. I need to find back the sunshine girl in me. I need to find back the confident Miko. Wish me all the best.

Dear reader Ken, firstly thanks for dropping by my blog and contributing comments to my tagboard. It must have spent you some time to read my posts and also thinking of what to leave in my tagboard. *smile*

I am not ashamed to admit the fact that I have failed my TP test again. Since I dare to blog about going for my 2nd attempt, I would definitely announce the result too. Thanks for being so concern whether I get my driving license or not. *smile*

Anyway, I have failed my second attempt of my driving test. Although I failed, but I am not sad because the points are much lower than the first time. Because of me being too ganjiong and turned left after seeing the amber light, 8 points were deducted. Urgh! 8 points alot wor. The tester was very nice. Although he's famous for failing people(my instructor told me de), but that day he was especially nice. He told me to practise more and not be afraid to drive abit faster. Keke... I will definitely keep that in mind de.

When I smsed my boss, he replied: "No worries. Cars are expensive anyway. And 3 is a good number..." So nice of my boss =)

Well, It's been a busy week for me. Not only I have my driving test on Thursday, I have been busy packing my bedroom for house moving. There were so many things to pack into cartons. My books, my magazines, my clothes, my photo albums and lots more. Damn tedious lor. This morning went over to my new house to do the unpacking. That explains why now then I have the time to update my blog lor. Moving house is really not easy sial.

Went dinner with Dennis and Alicia just now. They recommended a place where they sell porridge steamboat buffet at Ang Mo Kio. After I am done with the unpacking, me and my dear dear went to meet them. We had both types of steamboat buffet for dinner just now. See photos below ba.

My tired dear dear woke up early today to help me with the house moving

Steamboat buffet - Tom Yum and Chicken soup base

Porridge Steamboat - Same as normal steamboat but instead of soup base, they are using porridge. Nice!

They even have free potong ice-cream for their customers wor. Nice! Nice!

Chanced upon this watch ad in the Cleo magazine. Nice hor? Me gonna check out the price for this. Heehee... *Rubbing my hands gleefully*

Ok lah. I shall stop for now. Whole body aching after doing a day of unpacking and moving. Oyasuminasai~ Muacks!

Miko is a happy girl now because her bad haircut have been saved by her previous hairstylist at Gorgeous Salon.

She just need to give me a trim and in 20 mins, I got myself a brand new look! I was so happy after the haircut and so relieved she could actually do something to my ugly haircut. Well, that goes to show how pro and experienced she is. I think I am not gonna try other hairstylists in future le. Not because I don't trust other hairstylists but I have more faith with my current hairstylist who knows what suits me best.

Thursday is my TP test again. It's my 2nd attempt le. Have been practising more than usual to prepare myself for the test. May everything goes on smoothly for me on Thursday. Hope it's gonna be good news this time round. Wish me all the best!

Taadah!!! My new haircut and hair colour =)

Went for a haircut with an excited mood.

Looking forward to a new haircut.

Looking forward to a brand new look.

Looking forward to a new hairstylist.

But too much anticipation leads to great disappointment.

Took 2 months for my hair to grow beyond my shoulder.

But after 20 mins, I didn't see a brand new look.

Is it my hair or the hairstylist?

I do not know.

But I am in a freaking bad mood now.

Because my hair looks so awful that I don't wanna look myself into the mirror.

The look of myself in the mirror makes me cry.

Have decided to go back to my usual hairstylist tomorrow.

I hope she can save my bad & ugly hair.

Bless me...

Last Friday, my 2 colleagues and I went to Scarlet Hotel for a little tour. Being the company's recreation committee members, my colleagues and I have to plan for the annual D&D. We have shortlisted Scarlet Hotel to be one of the venues for the annual company's dinner. The Sales Manager showed us all the different themed suites and we were really impressed. She even suggested to us to have our Hens' Night in one of the suites. Very idea sial! Being a boutique hotel, not only the rooms are beautifully decorated and well-furnished, their service is very good too. Below are some photos we took when we were there.

Me and my colleague, Linda

They have very beautiful suites

Outdoor jacuzzi for hotel guests

Another suite but I forgot what theme liao

Lunch at Scarlet Hotel. Their menus comes in 2 different covers, female and male de. And the names are quite special. For example, Appetizers are called Foreplay and Chef's recommendations are called G-spot. Wooo....~

After work on Friday, I met up with my secondary school friends for dinner. It's actually to celebrate Adeline's belated birthday. Craving for pasta, I suggested having dinner at Sketchers in Bugis. After a hearty and satisfied dinner, we adjourned to Boat Quay for drinks and chit-chats. Though it's only 3 of us but we had fun. Below are some photos we taken that night.

Very long didn't blog liao wor. Last time when I have free time in the office, I will update my blog. But now cannot liao sial. Because my company's stupid service provider advised them to block those internet sites. Internet service was so damn slow last week. Machiam using dial-up like tat lor. When my company feedback to the service provider, they zitao said it's because too many users are using web-chats or blogging. They didn't even bother to check what's the actual cause lor. Anyway, now means no blogging in the office. Sianz...

Didn't blog as much lately because as usual I have been busy with work. Today had a meeting with my boss and he want me to be the organiser and coordinator for the coming IT Conference in Delhi. It's not gonna be easy but I will try my best to make it a successful one. I am sure it's gonna be a considered point for my year-end appraisal. I must work hard!

Tomorrow's my japanese language class again. Haven't do my homework and learn the dictation yet lor. So tired sial. I had better go and do my homework now. Ciao!

YeLLoW...YeLLoW~~

Just came back home from my japanese language class. It's getting more and more cheem sial. So far, sensei have covered the Hiragana words liao. Next lesson we are going to learn writing in sentences. I was telling my colleague very soon we will be writing composition in japanese too. And the title might be "Myself" like when we were learning English in Primary 1. Really cannot afford to miss any lesson lor. Arboh very difficult to catch up on the next lesson. Other than working, other than stressing over my next TP in 3 weeks' time, I am spending money to destress.

My new lovely bag and I so love it =)

Bought this yellow heels from Charles & Keith sale for 10 bucks only! I love sale!

And bought a yellow top from Ness to match my lovely yellow heels

"I dun bother" is what my dear dear always says when certain things are none of our business. As time goes by, I realised I am becoming more and more like him. Because there are alot of unimportant things or people that I began not to bother so much.

I used to get worried over small matters easily and I get worked up when people commented negatively about me. But now I dun bother.

There are people who just care for themselves, so full of themselves and all they talked about are themselves. This kind of people irks me quite abit lately too. But now I dun bother.

When certain jokes or behaviours are still new and fresh, it can be funny. But as times goes by, such jokes and behaviours become stale. It will only make people feel irritated. Too much of something is really not good. But now I dun bother.

There are people who claimed or craved for fame and attention as if they are some kind of superstar and seem to be proud of it but in actual fact they are nothing close to being famous. But now I dun bother.

There are people who thought they are the sexiest and chioest people who could make any man fall for them and die at their feet but in actual fact they are nothing close to being pretty. But now I dun bother.

There are people who thought they are know-it-all but in actual they are just acting smart. Haven't they heard a hokkien saying,:"Kiang jiu ho, mai geh kiang."? But now I dun bother.

Whether you like me or hate me, say I am fat, say I am ugly, say my bf ugly, say I put on weight, say I am selfish, say I am boring, say my hairstyle sucks, say I damn attitude, say I buay steady, say my dress sense sucks or whatever you wanna say or think about me...

I have been catching the Singapore Idol since the 12 finalists emerged. Out of the 12 finalists, there are 2 familiar faces I recognised immediately because I have seen them in Devilsbar. They are Emily Kang and Hady Mirza. Both of them were Devilsbar's live band singers. If you have heard them sing live, you will know how talented they are. They sing really well.

Unfortunately this time round, most Singapore Idol's supporters seem to be supporting the contestants based on looks instead of their singing talents. Even the judges also damn sian when it comes to the Thursday Results Show because those with singing talents are out one by one due to insufficient votes to keep them in the competition. I was thinking if that's the case, then Singapore Idol will have to rename to Mr/Miss Singapore liao.

Now left with 6 finalists, who you all think will get the next Singapore Idol leh? For me, I hope Hady Mirza will get it because not only he have the looks but he have singing talents. But I am not saying the rest of the finalists not good la. Everybody have their choice of supporting their own idol mah. But for me, I will support Hady. Hopefully, the results tonight will not be a disappointing one.

Gonna rush back home to catch the Results Show after my Japanese Language class tonight. Hady gambatte!

Alright. I know I just came back from Batam. Had a good spa treatment. And I will be going there again in Mid October. Haha... Not because I siao hor. I am one of the recreation committee member in my company and we have organised a company outing to Batam. It will be on one of the weekends too. So I can go there do spa again. Yeah!

Another thing to be happy about and look forward to is the Phuket trip after this company's Batam outing. With a long holiday in October due to Deepavali and Hari Raya Puasa, planning a short trip is the best. My dear dear will be going for his company trip to Hong Kong while I will be going Phuket with my colleague.

Me and my colleague will be island-hopping and there's a city tour for this Phuket trip. There's gonna be spa, massages, lazing on the beach and sun-tanning! It's gonna be fun man! I am so looking forward to it! I love holidays! =)

WCG - World Cyber Games 2006

2006-08-11T13:54:00.000+08:00

Was on leave yesterday. Not because I enjoyed too much during National Day hor. It's because I went to support my dear dear at Suntec City where the WCG 2006 was held. My dear dear participated in one of the gaming challenge-Dead or Alive 4. When we reached the venue, we saw alot of young gamers who brought along their keyboards and controllers for the competition. Damn pro can~ Standing among them makes me feel so old sial.

The registration process was abit chaotic because there were different time slots for different games. I took some photos with my hp and my dear dear's K800i. But I haven't upload yet. It's indeed an eye-opening experience for me. Though I don't have much knowledge in gaming, but it's really nice seeing those gamers competing. Especially those gamers competing for the game Counter Strike. You can hear them shouting at their members. Quite interesting. Haha...

It's Friday again but I don't think I will be partying anywhere tonight though I have received an invitation from Club Momo on the celebration of the club's 1 year anniversary. My ferry departure to Batam tomorrow is at 10am and I got to collect my ferry tickets at Harbourfront by 9am. Though it's just a short trip and there isn't much to pack, but I want to rest early and be fresh & energetic for tomorrow. Will try to take many many photos to show you guys when I am at Batam. Have a great weekend everybody!

Went to catch The Fast And The Furious : Tokyo Drift at The Cathay with my dear dear on Saturday. The movie was awesome! Fast cars. Pretty and kawaii babes. Erm, but don't have yandao kia leh. For those we have not catch this movie, don't miss it. It's really nice! I personally find that it's much nicer than Initial D.

I know it's Monday today but there's no blues for me at all. Firstly, there's a public holiday this Wednesday, National Day. And not forgetting I am going to Batam with my dear dear this weekend. Lastly, there's no Japanese Language class this Thursday. Which also means no spelling test! Keke... I hope everybody's looking forward to the extra day off this week. Cheers!

BTW, DK means Drift King =) Not Donkey Kong =P
