Esdee's Rants

... back rash.

2011-12-05T22:29:00.002+08:00

My back is itchy!!!

Started with only one big bump then it turned into 2, 3 and before I know it several unsightly red bumps on my back ... and ITCHY at that!!!

Please ... this is not the first time.

Please don't tell me I'm allergic to something I ate.

I had salmon, unagi and ebi roe maki just now. Plus a tuna subway sandwich top with capsicums and honey mustard.

Which one?!?!?!?

Should I consider seeing a doctor???

Hypothesis Proven

2011-10-23T21:39:00.002+08:00

Did a little test for the past week.
My little hypothesis about guys is really quite true.

Guys only look for me when they need something.
If they can't get it, or if they do not need anything from me, I'm useless to them and thus am ignored.

But the ones who are by my side with or without favours; little mahjong sessions, a little alcohol in our systems, a good laugh over good food ... are my girls.

Thank you girls ... you're the only ones who I can count on.

Sleep

2011-08-30T13:40:00.001+08:00

Not going where I was hoping for.

In fact I feel like I'm falling backwards again.

No motivation. Nothing to look forward to.

Just feel like sleeping my days away ... what's different from being dead? None.

Another great night (and half a day)

2011-08-25T17:36:00.002+08:00

Another fun night at Mambo last night. My legs almost couldn't walk me out to the cab queue.

Left bike at Zouk.

Had a nice cool glass of Erdinger, two glasses of Japanese Slipper, inside I've no idea how much Heineken.

Went to bed ... and woke up this morning with a big smile ... it was a good day.

One of the best Mambo nights

2011-07-28T14:12:00.000+08:00

Maybe it was the wine and beer mixed drinking.
Or maybe because I told myself I must enjoy myself tonight.

All in all, I had fun.

I've not danced on the centre platform for such a long time.
It was also a good feeling to see the familiar faces of friends who returned smiles and some hugs too.

It was also fun to see the dancefloor folk smile happily and following the Mambo moves along with us.

No pushing and shoving. No drunkard ang mohs. No breakouts of fights. No ah-guas pouring their drinks on my leg and me wanting to beat him/her to a pulp.

It was a good night ... and the pounding headache I'm feeling now I guess is a testament of it.

;)

$74 for NOTHING

2011-07-27T16:19:00.000+08:00

I ordered coloured lenses about a month ago from a spree.
I super regret it now.

WHY THE FUCK MUST SG CUSTOMS FIND FAKE CONTACT LENS NOW!?
Why can't they discover it AFTER I get my lenses?!!??!

Worst of all I won't get a refund!!!
As in the stupid T&C, in the case where the items are confiscated by SG Customs, they are NOT RESPONSIBLE!!! I'm never ordering these online ever again!

Why the fucking China make so many fake things! Why not just ban China altogether ... then we'll see how many business just go bust.

Fuck ... fuck ... fuck x gazillion.

1 + 1 makes 1

2011-07-21T13:32:00.000+08:00

There are apparently two of me.

One of me is a happy-go-lucky, open-minded and love going out with friends.
This me I like. When I travel, I smile. When I'm with friends, I'm more fun.

The other me ... is an emotional wreck who cannot control her emotions.
I tend to go into a crying fit, depression symptoms, and even to the point of crossing "boundries".

These two are me, but why can't I control that emotional wreck that seems to mess things up in my life. Important things, people close to me ...

This really scares me ... the part where I CANNOT CONTROL it.

Sigh. Need a peaceful getaway ... or a job. LOL

...

2011-07-16T15:44:00.001+08:00

... why?

is it hard

2011-07-15T13:38:00.001+08:00

Is it really so hard to just send a reply?
To just say hi?

Even if you're tired or another reason, can't you just reply "I'm busy."?

... but nothing. Ignorement.

Sad.

... a little break ...

2011-07-07T12:46:00.000+08:00

Going off to the budget terminal in a while.
Pray Tigers don't give me trouble.

Heard rallies will be happening around too. Hrmmm ... hope that doesn't affect my budget shopping. Looking for bargain walking shoes and dresses.

... sanity

2011-06-27T15:54:00.002+08:00

I don't know if it's the heat getting to me or I'm just losing my sanity.

Going out for a swim ... cool my head ... I can feel myself losing my grasp on myself.

Head spun round and round at the PC Show 2011

2011-06-09T21:49:00.000+08:00

Basically just the FEW brands that I had to find ... I was already running all over the place.

Swerving, skipping, sliding, running, inching through gaps between people.
Jumping over puddles left over by inconsiderates who spill their drinks.
Getting nudged, pushed, shoved by strangers just to add to the numbers of thousands of people who go there and don't know what they want to buy.

At one point I made the mistake of leaving my group of friends and walking to the buy my Canon ink catridges myself.
1. I was redirected through THREE big booths (first was cameras, second was printers, third was the tiny booth of inks)
2. Then to get back I had to find LENOVO which had TWO booths ... which were each located at OPPOSITE ends of the blardy Hall 601 - 604.

And ASUS, had 2 big booths. One on level 4 and one on level 6. They sell the SAME STUFF ... gosh then why waste resources having TWO BOOTHS!!!

In the end, only ONE of us bought a laptop. We're going back again tomorrow to do this all over again. 2 more people to buy laptops, 1 to sign up for Singtel's Mio Home (I tell you the queuing system may look cool but it's FUCKED UP), and me to buy my ink catridges which is cheaper than Sim Lim's by a measly $4 ... HAHA.

Daddy 65

2011-06-06T18:22:00.000+08:00

My daddy is 65 ...

I jokingly told him that he can start spending his CPF money.
He said he still can't. Even the amount he can take out of the "retirement" and "ordinary account" portion of the CPF, is only HALF or LESSER than what he has in the account.

And the amount he can take out, it's a monthly puny sum of a few hundred ONLY!!!

WTF!!!!

Where's the logic??? If I'm 65 and wanna retire, I want to be able to take out all the money and go for a trip around the world. Then when I come home, I'll die warm in my bed.

And my dear daddy is still working ... sigh.
Sorry dad. I know it's because me and bro still haven't gotten steady jobs yet.

Soon ... give us time.

June

2011-06-01T13:20:00.002+08:00

It's a new month. Time for new things to happen.

To start it off ... drinks at Zouk tonight.
(not gonna care how pain my mouth is gonna hurt later.)

But for now ... let's start sketching that piece at my light switch.

Class 2A Lesson 1

2011-05-30T22:01:00.000+08:00

Went for my first lesson for Class 2A this morning.
Lucky me it's only a 250cc bike I can handle.

But the main stand is my bane. I'm too light to use my weight to get it up.
Had to use a little arm jerk strength.

After more than a year of riding auto, I screwed up my clutch changing ... initially.

Did slope, plank and salom cones. All ok.

But with the amount of mistakes I made (leg kept going down, engine died, clutch change wrong), I was REALLY SURPRISED when the instructor said that I passed lesson 1.

Lesson 2 coming up this Friday.
- Figure 8
- Crank course
- Emergency Brake
- Bumpy course

*excited*

I fully intend to complete my 2A lessons in time for the 2nd August test date.

Day 2 after teeth op

2011-05-28T12:48:00.000+08:00

Been feeling more hyper than usual.

Could it be there is caffeine content in one of the meds??? Can't be.
I asked the doc earlier and she said the med will help me sleep.

MY ASS!!!

Ever since I got home at 3pm yesterday, I've been wide awake before I managed to play games on my iPhone and fell asleep at almost midnight. WTF!!!

I have the insane feeling to clean up my room too ... but not today. Maybe tomorrow.

I've been up since 830am ... and now raring to go to Mic's house for a good round of Mahjong. Too bad I cannot join them for the buffet ... but at least I'll get to see little Lulu (Mini-Yan).

Already sketched up some designs to paint around my bed, shelf and even my light switch. Might do it tonight even.

Program override

2011-05-27T18:24:00.001+08:00

Forgot to shutdown my emotions.

But I can't seem to override my program wanting to care for him.

.
.
.

I still want to be with him.

Teeth (not typo) removal is no joke

2011-05-26T14:50:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow morning at 930am will be the start of my ordeal.

Friends who know about my operation tomorrow doesn't really know how many teeth I'm really removing.

Yes the 4 Wisdom Teeth is not that embarrassing ... people do it all the time.

It's the other 6 teeth that is embarrassing.

After tomorrow I'll have no wisdom nor molar teeth.

This is all because I want to get rid of my bad breath.

All the same, he won't kiss me cause of my bad breath.
But I guess he still won't kiss me due to a million other reasons.

Emotional shutdown begins tonight.

Loss of hair ... lots of it.

2011-05-22T19:51:00.000+08:00

Decided to chop off my long hair that I've had for like ... years.
(It nearly reached my waist once)

Weather is really getting to me. Hot cold hot cold ... at this rate I'll get thinner just from the "natural sauna".

Went into the salon with the thought to just cut til it's just touching my shoulders.

*snip snip snip*

Still too long. Bob cut suggested ... okay.

*snip snip snip* with a little buzz from an electric razor.

A little thinning and baby oil to smooth out the tips.

Short hair!

The neck is cooler, the head is lighter ... love it but I still miss my long hair.

Feel less feminine now but at least consalation prize ... cooler.

Battle of Me

2011-05-18T21:34:00.000+08:00

It's a bitter inner battle.

Logic tells me :
I deserve to be loved.
Can't I find better?
I should care about myself.

But my heart says this :
I love the idiot.
Isn't he the best to me?
I care for him more.

My logic loses most of the time.

Delayed

2011-05-12T21:35:00.000+08:00

Today at lunch I ordered ipoh hor fun. She told me to wait a while and went to pour out two bowls of hot clear soup.

She spilled some ....

... on my right foot.

Worse is that I took a while to like :

"Wait my right foot feels weird. Did she spill soup on my foot?"

"... ow ... ow ... OW ..."

.
.
.
.
I think losing of "feel" is part of turning 30.

Rolling the dice

2011-02-22T05:23:00.000+08:00

I took a chance, I rolled the dice.
Hoping to come up with a step forward.

But instead I got a message,
that brought me 3 steps backward.

...

2011-01-22T14:13:00.002+08:00

No more tears ...
No more sighs ...
No more smiles ...

No more ...

2011 ... what to expect ... nothing much.

2011-01-03T10:24:00.000+08:00

Resolutions :
- 1 soft drink a week
- swim at least once a week
- lose weight to hit 52kg (or 50kg better still)
- less emo, more happy
- save more money

Starting a little business casually. Gonna see how it's gonna work out.
Good for my little artist inspirations to draw and see how the public responds.

Updates will come soon.
But budgeting first and designs drafts.

Happy Bunny Year.

Dad, don't do that again.

2010-10-26T23:29:00.001+08:00

My heart stopped for a while just now.

Found my dad asleep on the sofa downstairs with the TV still on. A common sight as he always falls asleep after 5-10 mins of lying on the sofa or bed.

Usually a slight shake would wake him and he'll just mutter something about him being tired and it's time for him to sleep.

Just now ... it took me quite a while for me to shake him up. I was holding his arm and tapping his leg initially. But when he showed no response ... that got me really frightened and had to really shake him a little harder before he really did woke up, eyes blinking sleepily.

It was a very heart stopping 10 seconds!!!!

The frightening thought of losing my dad ran through my head is still fresh in my mind.

Not now dad ... it's still too soon for you.

Why I prefer to ride when I go clubbing

2010-10-24T16:37:00.002+08:00

Just compare simply.

If I don't ride to the club, I have to spend on the following :
- $20 cab fare to the club
- $30 drinks (average) since I'm not riding can drink more
- $30 cab fare home

If I ride to the club :
- $20 drink AT MOST cuz I will be less motivated to drink since I'm riding.

Imagine that $50 spent on cab fare can let me pump my bike FULL TANK at least 3 times!!!!
3 times full tank will last me at least 2 weeks!!!

Morever, riding gives me a damn good excuse to reject ridiculous tall drinks of fire and shots.

Sigh.

Rain or shine ... I'll be riding everywhere I go. Unglam but ... richer. Hee hee.

A little swimming workout

2010-09-29T19:32:00.001+08:00

Since I can't get myself to jog or go to a gym. I decided on the next best thing ... I think.

Swimming.

Luckily for me I have a gal pal who lives 5 mins away from me in a condo with the most BEAUTIFUL looking pool I've ever seen.

This was long ago when I went there to hang out with the girls and made it into a little "esdee collectible" doodle for myself.
See that pool ... I love the colour. Makes me feel like just staying in that condo JUST for the pool. But I can't afford it of course.

Oh well, yesterday (Tuesday) I went for a swim. Not too bad but ... badly out of shape.
I was hoping to do 5 laps but ended up doing only 3 laps. 2.5 breast stroke and 0.5 freestyle. HAHAHA

Tomorrow will attempt to do better.
5 laps - 4 breast stroke and 1 freestyle.

Will also try to NOT stop halfway through a lap. Yah ... I'm THAT out of shape.

One day at a time.

2010-08-27T00:05:00.000+08:00

I have a very bad characteristic.

When I do not get an answer as quickly as I would like, I tend to overthink things.
It tends to go in the more pessimistic direction.

In the end, sometimes I take an action that would almost definitely end in a negative result.

I thought I would learn from mistakes. But sadly, this is a in born habit which I find hard to get rid.

A friend of mine has told me "Be patient."

I won't get my hopes up anymore. I will let others to make a move before I do.

Meanwhile ... to return to the workforce. Resume done? Hehe.

Retribution

2010-08-22T14:55:00.002+08:00

Karma is a bitch ... and she's biting me back HARD.

It's time ...

2010-07-21T01:31:00.000+08:00

Emotions over logic.

Wants over needs.

Others before myself.

Time to turn those around, I have to.

I'll never know what might happen anymore.

I need to prepare for anything.

First thing to do : building that wall.

Acceptance and Contentment

2010-07-16T18:42:00.000+08:00

Slowly I'm learning to accept that reality is a bitch.

I would still think of silly wishing and hoping for dreams to come true. But that's what it all is right?

Silly hopes.

Even when the coined phrase "Action speaks louder than Words" comes to mind, I can't help but to think that's so true. To say you want something, to say you need something ... it's all talk.

Action needs to be accompanied with those wishes, with those dreams.
To achieve them, to make true of them.

But even then, there are some things ... no matter how much you want them, no matter how much you try to make it happen ...

... it will not.

Acceptance of that fact will make one happier ... will make one content.

Slowly I'm learning to be ... content of what I have.

But I won't settle. I'll chase other dreams and try to make those come true.
I accept that for some that can't be made true.

I'll just be contented that ... I did try.

Falling ... again

2010-06-21T16:57:00.000+08:00

I keep thinking of a lot of ... if's today.

Just standing at the toaster and spreading my tuna on the white bread, I just felt my tears drop thinking :
"If only I could have done things differently."

But no use for regrets right? People always say that.
But seriously, everyone will still think about it. People will still think about what are outcomes could there be.

A lot of the things I am now today, is not what I expected myself to be.

I expected to be :
- married and most probably with kids
- not alone
- living with the person I married and love
- contented with a job with a decent pay

An ordinary girl with an ordinary life. But guess it's just not to be.
Being of different thinking has set my path to a different way.

Instead I'm :
- seperated with no kids
- feeling all alone
- living with my parents
- jobless

I thought I was done crying. I thought I done regretting. But I guess when new things happen, there are new things to decide upon, there are new things to regret upon.

Hope to get my stupid female hormones under control soon. I'm tired of the sleepless nights and feeling of weakness.

I want to follow him

2010-06-19T18:54:00.000+08:00

I shall ask my dad tomorrow if I can start following him to work from Monday onwards.

I have an interest in his trading business ... minimal employees but maximum profits to earn enough to support the families very comfortably.

Who knows ... I might be able to change his mind on teaching me more ... and it'll greatly change my decision on my next job hunt.

Hope he says okay.

Aches ...

2010-06-13T13:18:00.000+08:00

A headache that doesn't seem to want to go away.
Cramps that come and go like as they like.

And when they hit ... sigh.

Last night while queuing for a simple McChicken burger at MacDonalds, I felt giddy from just standing there waiting.

When I reached my door, I almost felt like fainting. Luckily when I did "fall", I fell into my bed. Woke up still in my jeans ... >,<

But ... I REFUSE to take any panadols.

Up in flames ... Goodness Gracious

2010-04-23T10:19:00.001+08:00

1. Indonesian workers protest against foreign manager

All due to racism.

To think I used to work there more than 2 years ago.

When I first saw the news I was in shock. I knew about the unfair treatment of the workers there. A lot of the seniors when they scold their subordinates, they used the words "stupid" and "idiot" a lot.

I didn't like it. But I also didn't do anything about it. I was more concerned about getting my reports and the girls who were working under me.

Now I'm thinking ... when I left 2 years ago, it was definitely a right decision.

2. S’poreans more gracious now, but still room for improvement: survey

We have improved in our tray clearing, cleanliness in our toilets and letting other passengers to alight first.

Or have we really?

A 7% to 18% increase for tray clearing is not really a good sign. It just shows that we are still VERY lazy in doing so. A better way would be to NOT HAVE anyone clearing the trays FOR them. A designated area for the trays to be deposited at would have a better effect. Or else people are like, the cleaners will clean up for me, then get up and leave. Toilet cleanliness ... same thing. No workers no clean toilets.

Apparently this survey didn't cover peak hour transport. Whenever I get off the train, the space to exit is reduced to only being able to walk out in a SINGLE FILE! I will proudly admit that I do shove or if possible step on the feet of a few of the idiots who blatantly STAND at the entrance/exit of the train doors when the train arrives. Buses still can. One entrance one exit each mah. But idiots are still NOT filling up the buses. The front people are packed like sardines yet there are empty spaces at the back.

Other areas which were surveyed but ALL DROPPED. Which I'm NOT surprised at all.

Being considerate to elderly and pregnant women. Just look at the passengers in the MRT. Young kids are SITTING down playing with their handheld games/phones or pretending to be asleep while old folks and pregnant

women (and I refer to the obviously pregnant ones) are STANDING BESIDE THEM. Whenever I see such things, I'll nudge the inconsiderate bugger and ask him to stand up and let the other sit.

Parents being respectful to teachers ... gosh when has THIS became an issue!?

Back in my school days ... and it's not THAT long ago, parents RESPECTED TEACHERS! Even if the teachers scold us or cane us, we DARE NOT tell our parents in fear that we get even more scolding or beating from our parents. Heck, I even had a classmate whose parents came all the way to school to tell our form teacher and discipline master to CATCH my classmate cuz his hair did not meet school standards.

"60 per cent of the respondents said parents here show respect for teachers, a drop from 72 per cent last year."

Gosh ... I'm surprised it's not even LOWER!!!!

Spoiled Brat : "Mommy teacher today scold me!!!"

Overprotective Mother : "WHAT?! I want to see that teacher now!"

Usually the case is that the child DID misbehave or worse didn't hand in their assignments but only gotten a reprimanding from the teacher. But a child's concept of WELFARE apparently has hit the roof. Just look at all the pansies entering BMT nowadays ... I still hear and see mothers coddling their sons when they get ready to get on the blardy bus to bring them to camp! Some of the guys don't even pack their own alibaba bags!!

If you're wondering what happeneed to that classmate that I mentioned earlier. He did the ultimate rebellious act ... he went skinhead. O_O!!! It was gross.

I no need to say what is the last thing that Singaporeans are not gracious for. Road courtesy ... if there's any.

I ride a motorcycle. I need to learn defensive riding. Everyday, every time I get on the road, confirm will have one bugger who doesn't signal and change lane, drives too close, or causes an accident. Sigh. I'm fighting for my safety/life out there.

But no ... that will not deter me from riding. It's fun.

Long Weekend

2010-04-02T10:37:00.001+08:00

Oh well good time to MAYBE catch up on sleep ... or not.

Friday :Arranged a breakfast and swim/blading with the girls.
Visiting my new niece in the noon.
Hopefully be able to divide my unwanted stuff into sellable and trash.

Saturday :
A trip to MotoWorld ... for a bike cover, bungee cord and hopefully a cute sticker to add to my plain black helmet.

Sunday :
Hopefully I get inspired today. I wanna draw again.

Weekend's agenda :
Psycho my little brother to follow me to Japan for 5D 4N free n easy ...
... Or else to confirm reservations alone with House Ikebukuro.
Find my inner child again.
Just have fun.

Happy Good Friday people!

Time Will Tell

2010-03-14T23:16:00.002+08:00

This time I went too far.

It wasn't any of my business.
I had no right.
But I guess a mix of strong emotions and alcohol finally pushed the both of us over the edge.

Wounds of the flesh will heal ... but never of the heart.

No more hoping ... time to make my own wishes come true.

IT SHOW

2010-03-11T23:59:00.000+08:00

IXUS 120 $439.

Sandisk 8GB Flash Drive $23.50

A big fat smile on the cow's face ... priceless.

... one way traffic.

2010-03-07T13:39:00.000+08:00

I need attention ...
But not in the way he explains it.

I've tried to find it from other sources, the same attention from other guys, but ... it just doesn't feel the same.

I know why it doesn't feel the same.

Just simply because it was ... him.

I didn't want the attention from just any one. I want the attention from him.

It is clear to me that nobody will ever be able to replace him in my heart.

I know what I want and I'm stubborn too.

It hurts to know that I love someone so much but ... I've not been loved back.

One way traffic doesn't work.

Now all I can do is distract myself with other points in my life.

To go on this one way traffic path and watch the scenery pass me by.

... stupid.

2010-01-27T19:59:00.001+08:00

I hate when I have these stupid bouts of sadness and loneliness just overwhelm me.

I duno why but they just happen.

I say stupid things that I regret.

I do stupid things that I regret.

And now ... I'm regretting.

Freedom of Transport ... soon!!!

2010-01-25T12:17:00.000+08:00

2010-01-01T20:18:00.001+08:00

May you all have a great 2010 ... *smiles*

... the beginning of a new decade.

P.S. - My first bite into the new year.

The cow fell ...

2009-12-13T13:47:00.000+08:00

... and stupidly twisted her ankle on the dance floor.

Some more continue to dance thinking the pain would go away.

So wrong. Limped her way to the cab and limped up the stairs to her room.

Morning result, aching ankle and swollen.

Duno where got sensei nearby leh. Doctors nearby are all closed by now.

Wedding Dash .. not the game

2009-12-06T19:56:00.000+08:00

2. I can't physically to be in USA.

Why the sudden WAVE of wedding dinners? Traditionally they say next lunar year being the Tiger year is not a good year to get married. Unlucky. So everyone is rushing to beat the Tiger.

Well I just wish all my friends the best and ... well ... make it last for the rest of your days.

Should I????

2009-12-06T19:09:00.000+08:00

Yes that is me in this photo but with SPRAY ON tattoos.

I am SUPER tempted to another tattoo.
Especially something small on the neck.
But I've asked someone who has tattoos on her neck, back above the butt, and her ankle, she said that the most painful one is on the neck. *shudders*

So I'm still contemplating a right back should design. Can show and can hide ... hrmmmmm.

New Colour ... New iPhone

2009-12-03T13:23:00.000+08:00

OMFG my iPhone died on me on Tuesday. Had to travel down to ComCentre to see what's wrong with it.

Cannot restore so it's not a software problem. Luckily I still had the one-for-one exchange for this.

Ta dah NEW iPhone ... need to spend $10 AGAIN to apply the screen protector ... sian.

And yay ... salary is in. Er ... I know lah should save more but I've been sitting on it for too long.

Went and re-dyed my hair. Hee hee ... X) Chocolate brown base and medium brown highlights. Just nice for holidays ...

Now next on my to do list ... Christmas presents ... gah! So little time ... if only I can just get everything online but where's the fun in that eh?

Eventful Weekend

2009-12-01T13:59:00.000+08:00

Okay I know it's weird to be posting on a Tuesday. But bleah ... I'm free and now it's lunch time in the office. Soooooo..... *posts*

Thursday (26/11)

1. Another failure

I failed my Class 2B bike test for the 3rd time. Sadness ... next test 14th Jan 2010.

2. Lousy weather ... warm bed

Spent the rest of the day grovelling in my bed ... I find comfort in the warmth of my thick quilt, especially when the weather is like going through PMS.

Friday (27/11)

1. 2012

Just still find the movie's ending ridiculous. I really wish writers can find a better way of endings for these sort of "disaster" movies. It was all WOooo WOW and then the government announces, this is how we will try to save everyone. SHEESH.

2. Zouk

Went to Zouk with Ben (my neighbour). Met his friends. Really nice and funny. One kept asking if he is cute. HAHA. Helped to finish a bottle of tequila in Velvet and then moved on to Members area to try to finish a Chivas. Half done only.

All the time I was wishing I wore my sneakers so that I could really move my feet to the music.

The 2 things that kept me off the dance floor were my too high heels and 2 white and pink birds (girls lah) in barely covering sequins and beads, who were more likely to be just posing for Playboy than dancing on the podiums. LOL. Oh well, both ways there were guys drooling at their legs.

Saturday (28/11)

1. Baby Cobra in my living room

Woke up. Another ordinary day ... til I heard my maid shouting for me. Dogs were barking soooo loud. And what we found ... a goddam baby black COBRA in our living room.

My turn to shout ... TANNER~!!!!!

My bro came down and we were contemplating how to get rid of it.

Police were no help. They just told me to call a pest control company.

Pest control was WORSE. $400 to get rid of it. WTF.

Tanner kept saying "We only want to catch baby snake leh. Not a frigging elephant!"

We ended up using the bamboo poles (the ones we use to hang our clothes) to push it out. Living room furniture were all pushed away so that it got no place to hide. GRAWL. Darn my mother and her love for SOOO MANY BREAKABLE vases and ornaments!

The baby cobra kept attacking the sticks. But in the end, it slithered out into a deep drain outside. Phew. Thank goodness my brother was home.

2. Unlucky @ Double O

Suay lah. Just unlucky. Just called it quits with another friend. Doesn't matter. I still got my other friends. At least they would tell me if there's something wrong.

Then bumped into ex-hubby outside the washroom. He was there with his gf. Sian. Mood lost sia. Left early.

Sunday (29/11)

1. Mahjong at Yazi's new place

HAHAHA! The whole house has no furniture except a mahjong table and four chairs. JUST NICE! Won $6. YAY.

2. PS's Wedding @ Goodwood Park Hotel

Fantasic food. Great company! And a very pretty, happy and talkative, bride. Now waiting for Yan to pass us the photos.

Monday (30/11)

1. Yazi's Birthday Celebration

If I had known we were eating JAPANESE BUFFET, I would have skipped my lunch. But still, we ordered non-stop for a good 2 hours. And still had room for a rich chocolate cake that Ling bought. The restaurant's staff also sang a birthday song for Yazi.

The food was really fresh, but still limited in variety. Mic complained that dun have hotate. Awww. >,<

3rd time ... failed again

2009-11-26T13:05:00.000+08:00

Woke up early. Ok.
Drove to SSDC. Ok.

No more knee pads. Had to go behind to get from another rack.

No available low seat bikes. Had to wait. Warmed up for only 10 minutes.

Waited for test to start. Ok.

Got on my designated bike. Sudden rush of tingliness throughout my body. Especially the fingers.

Oh well ... when I was done ... I knew I failed my Class 2B.

Next test date ... 14th January 2010.

Failed goal : To get my bike license by 2009.
New goal : To get my bike license by Jan 2010.

WTF is wrong

2009-11-09T22:42:00.002+08:00

I'm pissed.

If there is something wrong or something that I did ... just f-ing TELL ME!

To be the ignorant one and never being able to change "for the better" due to mistakes made is a horrible feeling.

Let me learn.

Fucking just TELL me what is WRONG!!!!

... broken

2009-08-25T23:34:00.002+08:00

... I just want him to want me again.

... I want to be happy ... with him.

Happy Donut Day!!!!

2009-06-06T20:36:00.003+08:00

Okay I'm a day late. 5th June was National Donut Day.

Me had two delicious donuts.

YUM!

"National Doughnut Day started in 1938 as a fund raiser for the Chicago Salvation Army. Their goal was to help the needy during the Great Depression, and to honor the Salvation Army "Lassies" of World War I, who served doughnuts to soldiers behind the front lines in France."

Also tried a new thing called ... Kkochi Jumbo Chicken ... with SPICY BOMB sauce.

I took one bite and instantly ... tongue and lips were burning. Even after finished the small tinge of pain was still there reminding me of the spicy decision I made.

But SHIOK!

Class 2B lessons ... well I'm now at Lesson 6 Part 1. Where first time on the road and also learning U-turns. I didn't pass obviously. Was not smooth enough. Oh well.

Next lesson ... TOMORROW!!! At scorching 105 PM!!!!! I must be crazy.

Which will be my first bike?

2009-04-18T16:02:00.006+08:00

I'm still deciding between getting a brand new bike or a 2nd hand one.

Cause for a new rider I might be knocking my bike up quite a bit and confirm will heart pain if new bike kenna scratch. So advisable to get 2nd hand. 2nd hand bikes also more seasoned unless I suay suay kenna one problematic bike which the previous owner has withheld information about. That's my primary worry.

New bike will be more shiok cause soooo shiny. HAHA and I can truly call it mine. Like a virgin bike that's MINE. HAHA.

Sooooooo ... 2nd problem is the choice between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke. Sigh. My first choice for a bike is a 2 stroke (Kawasaki Kips) but people have been telling me 2 stroke bikes are more ex to maintain in the long run and in frequency is a lot higher (like once a month).

Current choices :

Number 1

Kawasaki KR150 (Kips)

2 stroke Sport Bike 150cc
$-?

Number 2

Honda CBR125R

4 stroke Sport Bike 125cc
$-?

Number 3

Honda CBR150R

4 stroke Sport Bike 150cc
$-?

Still trying to figure out the pros and cons for the CBR125 and CBR150. Besides one having a much fiercer look. Need to seek friends advices on this.

Number 4

Honda CBF150
4 stroke Sport Bike 150cc
$-?

I'll get this one if I'm getting a 2nd hand. Duno. It just seems ... safer HAHA.

Daelim Roadwin
4 stroke Street Bike 150cc
$7200

I threw this one in cause the look is somewhat similar to what I'm looking for. But it's a Daelim. Not really sure about the brand cuz I never noticed any Daelims on the roads.

... I'm back.

2009-04-14T08:51:00.003+08:00

I know I've not been blogging for a long time. Been ... going through a bit of stuff.

1. To become single officially.
- signed my separation letter
- can file for divorce on 1st Oct 2011. Sigh ... I'll be 30 by then.

2. Class 2B
- spent $400 so far and still only on lesson 3 (there are in all 8 lessons)
- lesson 1 (3 sessions), lesson 2 (4 sessions), lesson 3 (1 session so far and going for the 2nd one today)
- the sun's a bitch. I had gotten a semi permanent tan on my arms like as if I went roller blading.
- riding's fun

3. Tweenbots - just to share
http://www.tweenbots.com/

4. Mental Floss
http://www.mentalfloss.com
I'm in love with this site. Really a lot of interesting things you can get to read on this site. Some that might interest you at the moment.

Why is the middle finger offensive?
Wrong Tattoo Meanings ... tis led me to a blog that shows many more such wrong doings. Sigh.

okay I'm gonna go browse bikes now ... =)

9,999 Paper Cranes

2009-01-21T23:29:00.003+08:00

I was just surfing around Stomp.com and saw this ...

Link from Stomp
It's at the Botanic Gardens. From the article it says it's at the Visitor's Centre near Holland Road.

I think I shall go to the Botanic Gardens next week. Whole week no work. So I guess I can take a nice break. I wonder if they have wireless there. Bring my new laptop, a little snack and a book to read. Sigh. It better not rain.

Durex and Photoshop

2009-01-18T16:01:00.002+08:00

A weekend ... another night at DblO. Some more dancing some more boozing. Even some pre-boozing.

(I didn't know I look THAT MAKEUP LESS. Hrmmm ... time to up the colours and eyeliner.)

Then on Monday ... reality check. Bleah ... reality was already checking in from when I woke up this ... afternoon. Can't believe I slept for 12 hours straight.

But got online and the internet lo and behold gave me something to smile about again.

.
.
.
.
.

Durex has come out with the most adorable yet so NSFV (not safe for viewing) ad yet.
The Balloon Durex Ad

And omg ... they even did little NGs for the ad and they are just as hilarious!!! MUST WATCH!!NG #1
NG #2
NG #3

A little side note :

Found this little idea of photoshopping really cool. (From this website ... Wooster Collective) The artist who did this must be out with the message "Everything's photoshopped, so stop looking for perfection."

I am 28

2009-01-09T00:23:00.004+08:00

6th Jan 08

Met the girls for dinner. Too bad Va is missing. Dear Michelle just got off her flight and was suffering from jet lag. But she still came.

ATe Ministry of Food at Bugis Junction. Haha we also ate there for my birthday last year. But nvm ... I love the food there.

Something that I wish I could eat everyday.

One of my FAVE desserts.

Michelle brought a few presents for us too. Er ... CK undies for most of us and a CUTE WALL-E for Yan!!!!

Cam-whoring time with Wall-E!!!

My newly designated Milo cup for my morning cuppa Mon - Fri.

*slips in a little chick*

7th Jan 08

Started off as usual. Work work work. Hehe.
Ken gave me a char siew pau and was the first to wish me.
Initially I just wanted to be quiet about it. Didn't want to make a big hoo ha ...

Guess I was quite busy cause I never expected what came next.

Was about to ask Gene about a doc that he told me to prepare for him then Sharon my team leader pulled me aside to ask if I knew anyone who do giant sofas. It felt weird cuz ... I'm one of the last people who would know such things.

But ... lo and behold. Someone from behind started singing birthday song. Turned around a cute birthday cake with ... wah liew so many candles.

So paiseh loh. Almost cried.

Then the present. I couldn't ask for anything better. A complete carebear set!!!
Ya I'm still a sucker for soft toys.

Initially I felt the big bag ... was like "So big how to display on my table?!"
Then open up and saw SOOO MANY!!!!!!!

To my darling colleagues. Thank you. I'll work harder for you all.
*knocks own head cuz I know that I cock up some stuff for them sometimes*

Quite useless but you still would buy them anyway

2008-12-31T00:15:00.007+08:00

Here's a few VERY GOOD examples of the sort of toys there are (esp from Japan) which really don't do much BUT people still buy them. (including me)

The PuchiPuchu Infinite Bubble Wrap toy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UU20R4O34o
It gets it's name from the sound it makes when you pop it. Of course IN JAPANESE lah. Cannot imagine when you pop a bubble wrap it goes PUCHI!
Its really ... useless ... but after seeing the videos ... I have a tiny urge to ... buy one.

Soybean Pod Keychain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RITA14kERWM
The description should be green bean lah ... but never mind. It's even more pointless than the bubble wrap. Some of the beans even have faces but you won't be able to choose from the packaging. I guess some people feel delighted when popping out those little green beans out of the pods. Not for me.

Face Bank
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rpHRQ4to5g&NR=1
This is like the scariest looking bank I've EVER seen. Just look how troll like it looks and the way it gobbles your coin. *shivers*

USB Humping Dog
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUC4Xeus36E&NR=1
I WANT THIS!!!
Okay here's another link that I just HAD to share.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t8QvfM0Z1Y

Big Bomb Piggy Bank
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWLnWbXUgjY
The problem with this one is ... well ... it SPITS OUT your coins not keep them. But it's darn cute!

Atari Arcarde Piggy Banks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6UCIRoJTII&feature=channel
You want to play, you put in a coin. It saves you money and lets play too. Wheee.
Not bad considering. Great for the Retro Gamer in you. Not me.

Singing, Flashing, Water Spurting Rubber Ducky
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTmU_tq--rA
My gosh it's sooo cute. But too bad I don't have a tub.

USB Pole Dancer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyF92zjB1xY&NR=1
You don't have to give her any dollar bills. She won't do you any stripping nor squats but she go round the pole with noises of ... er ... ooh ooh and ah ah ... er. *sweatdrop* I think the guy who invented this, the prototype must have been using a Barbie.

Self Destruct Button Toy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgSs4WTtnz0&feature=channel
Want the sensation of a detonator button but without the mess of a C4? This is the one for you. Keke. I love it too. Will get it if I see it.

Aqua Drop
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dtu8LpV19sA
Another visual stimulator. Nice to look at ... but in the end ... it's just water being moved around a nicely shaped tank.

Dancing Flower
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFp53H__dO8&NR=1
You KNOW that you have gotten this or you know a friend who has gotten this or something similar. A plant. A electronically battery eating or solar power PLANT. Remember those leaves that do nothing but wiggle up and down. Another visual stimulant. A real plant is more relaxing and it helps create more oxygen!!! This is a nono for me.

Pekoppa Plant
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U12p1sX20Zw&feature=channel
I know I just dished out on artificial toy plants earlier but this one might change my mind. It looks real and it responds (as in it wiggles and even does a some sort of nod) to your voice or sounds. Really interesting. Hrmmm.

End of 2008

2008-12-30T17:11:00.008+08:00

The next time I post will be in 2009.

But today. Well I've not blogged for months. Facebook has kinda turned that want to blog to just posting photos online.

I guess I have to make an effort to come back here to share more.

Let me start off ... with a LITTLE photo sharing and er ... linking.

23rd December 2008

Full day at work. But still managed to drag my ass home to get the car, get Yan and Ya and travel from East to North to AMK!

The steamboat was calling us!!!!
Ade that siao girl spent $17++ on ... MUSHROOMS! But damn they were good.
THANK YOU ADE!!!

Another thing I learnt that night. Cyn loves squid. She doesn't eat those small cut up pieces that curls when you barely put it on the hotplate. She loves the WHOLE THING! Head tentacles and all. Never knew that she liked it that much.

My exchange for that night. I gave a huge banana! Yeah it's soft and cuddly. I exchange with Peishi who gave me a USB ... aroma diffuser. How to use??? Tried it today ... the smell is not overwhelming. In fact quite sweet. But now I'm planning to see if I could put my perfumes on it or not. HEHEHEHE. My lappy smells so sweet now!

24th December 2008

It was a little gift exchange in the office. You can say most of us had no mood to work. A month before we had to pick names out of a bag. I got Gilbert.

My problem. I duno what he likes! He has a family, doesn't smoke gamble nor drink.
Belts/wallets/shoes/shirts were either too ex or too expected.

In the end, I gave him .... a coffee compressor thingamajig. You're suppose to put the coffee grounded powder in, add water and press it down. And to start him off I added a bottle of fresh grounded coffee powder. Hope he liked it.

My gift was given by the big kahuna himself. Owner of Starmedia. Woot! And he said he didn't know what I like ... damn ... he got something I REALLY like.

A BIG BOTTLE OF CHOYA!!!

Thank you Mr. Ng. *big smiles and intends to get tipsy this christmas*

25th December 2008

Christmas was ... pretty. Wet. Rain rain rain. But well that didn't dampen my mood for the season. Attended 3 gift exchanges. 23rd Xin's house! 24th office exchange! 25th ... Ya's house.

I got a very nice smelling body lotion set. HAha. Thanks Ya! Hand lotion go to office the rest when I have my weekly moisturising ritual.

I gave the girls something a little different. Photo frames you might think boring lah. But I took an old group shot of all 6 of us and put it in there.

Merry Christmas again girls!

Gift results!!!

Black (from colleagues) :
1 - Andy (one of the upper mgt bosses)
He's the one who signs off all our claims and budget sheets. He gave each of the recreation committee members one of these. A very sweet looking stationary holder. Now sitting on my table holding ... nothing at the moment. But soon it'll be filled up.
2 - Pretty star earrings from Sharon
She's my team leader. The sweetest woman you can find and gets along with anyone and everyone. Very popular. Even though it's quite nauseating to see her so sweet but I smile cuz I just think this is WHY I love working for this office.
3 - Sweet Precious Moments box with mirror from Kalis
Fellow colleague. Petite girl but definitely not soft. She can be as tough as any of the other boys in the office.
4 - Cute pouch from Daniel
That silly boy was LAZY in gift wrapping. He didn't even take off the tag. But gift pass the test (verified by team leader Sharon).
Truth be told. I didn't like him at first. He was too quiet. Did his own things. But after switching over to being coordinator for Sharon's team which he is part of. I found that actually quite okay leh! He is willing to help as long of course people ask.
5 - Super cute name hp strap from Beron
I know pink not really me lah. But got my name leh!!! Now have to think where to tie it to. I scared put on bag I'll lose it. Maybe on one of my pouches. Hrmmm.

White (from friends) :
1 - Towel cake from Cyn
2 - USB Aroma Diffuser from PS
3 - Chip&Dale magnets from Ade
4 - Red pouch from Xin

For Christmas. This is my favourite Christmas tree in Singapore. A beautiful combination with the snowflakes, one of my favourite symbols. I was tempted to steal one away but my bag was too small to fit it in.

26th December 2008 - Starmedia Annual D&D 2008

I don't have much photos but I duno if you guys can see the links from two colleagues who sweetly volunteered to be official cameramen for the night.

Gerald's Camera
Xiao Guang's Camera

For the first time in my life ... I've attended a proper Dinner & Dance.
Thank you Starmedia.

What I want to do for 2009 :

Getting my head in check for my job.
I love the office. But sometimes ya ... I can feel a little down and I'm scared it shows. Travelling home is a bitch now that I'm staying in Pasir Ris. Hope I can rectify that soon.

Go overseas for a holiday.
I need one. Batam and Malaysia doesn't count. I wanna go somewhere different like Australia for the relaxation, Japan to watch the sakura blossoms, or maybe even Dubai to just see how advanced they are now, or crazy shopping in China or Bangkok, or maybe just massage stress free trip to Bali, Bintan or Phuket. Sigh.

New Monitor
Yea ... I need a new monitor to link with my laptop ... and not those puny 19" ... I've decided to pamper myself with a massive no no ... not 21" either. I'm looking at something from 24" to about 30" but the prices are not as pretty ... Hrmm ... when's the next computer fair???

Other Resolutions for 2009 :

- Save money every month.
Will put $200 straight into my Citibank account after getting my salary.

- One jug of alcohol mixer or 3 small ones a week <-- this will be hard.

- One soft drink a week. <-- This will be even harder!!!

- Must have one salad a week instead of MSG filled foodcourt noodles.

- Do simple toning exercises every night.
I know I lazy to go gym lah. And hate running. So this is minimal.

- Change my stupid once a week moisturing ritual to a simply daily routine. Without the mask and footscrub.

- Be more true to myself. To voice my opinions and feelings and minimize damage.

- CLASS 2B!!!

To end this off ... I'd like to say that I'm a much happier person this last quarter. Moving back to Pasir Ris was a good move. Next year, the things that I need to get sorted out ... I'd better do them. No more procrastination.

... and I'll be 28 soon ... GAH!!!

mmmmmm...

2008-11-10T23:57:00.003+08:00

My favourite type of breakfast ... >_<

I know I haven't updated long but ...

2008-10-13T12:05:00.003+08:00

... my dad got a hole in one yesterday.

... he won a Chevrolet Captiva 2.4.

When ...

2008-09-14T16:11:00.002+08:00

Just when I thought today was turning out to be a good Sunday.

... two words.

Car Accident.

... another two words.

... my fault.

...

I'm digging a hole in search for something to treasure. But I think what I'm really digging ... is something else. The light is getting to be so far. The hole is dark and empty. But I still continue digging. When should I stop?

My Little Ponies ... remixed.

2008-07-19T18:26:00.005+08:00

I still remember when I was like 9, 10 ... okay maybe even at 12 ... I played with my little ponies. No barbie dolls for me.

These little creatures were a dear to me. Although I only had like two but I love the cartoons. Too bad my videos are long gone and they don't show it on tv. (Replaced for Barbie and Barney lovers).

Pony, Pegasus, Unicorns ... and I remember those singing half pony half fish ones too.

I happened to stumble upon ... while browsing deviantart ... people who actually do custom my little ponies. Some while beautiful there are the few unusual ones which caught my eye.

Ponies are custom made by Woosie and Spippo

Below are some beautiful examples ... but go to links (in the names) above to see all the other beautifully custom ones.

My personal favourite ... the Last Unicorn ... from that movie. Sigh

I'm going to go back to my Pony world now ... *flies*

Lotsa Things Happened

2008-07-14T00:13:00.003+08:00

OMG I've not updated for like almost 2 months. (Worse still for my xanga blog.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My First Tattoo

First of all ... a very very belated post about ... my new tattoo.
I've not posted it at first cause I didn't want someone to find out. But he already knows about it now ... so ... TA DAH!

Left hip.

It did hurt.

It doesn't feel like a lot of ant bites. A better description would be someone dragging the sharp ends of a fork up and down your skin ... pressing it down.

But the shadings part were more like a hard massage. Hee hee.

20 minutes and $100 ... I achieved a "Must Do" from my list.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Trip On The Singapore Flyer

Bag check ... =/

This was so that at the end ... it looked like you were riding in the capsule alone. But at $15 for a small 4R photo ... no blardy way.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RAINBOW OBSESSION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toys & Comic Convention

I went to a Toy and Comic Convention at Suntec 2 weekends ago.
Very interesting and fun considering that my fave Toki Doki was there. Bought a tee with two cute rainbows.

But I stupidly missed out on the Hasbro showcase ... how can I?!?!?!?

*blur*

Photos here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mambo Jambo's 16th Anniversary at Zouk
It's a red red day ... we mostly wore red to celebrate the anniversary

To top it off there was a Mambo dance contest held which I knew almost all the contestants. GLad to say that they all had fun.

Hossan Leong was a funny great host!

The boys.

Photos here.

Videos here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

110 inches!?!?

Cousin's big ass ... TV???
Nope it's just a projection screen ... but still at 110 inches it's darn big. You must have quite a large living room to make the suitable distance between the screen and the projector.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Full 6 girls Graduation Picture

For Michelle's birthday we decided to do a little graduation picture for her to keep.

It was a barrel of fun and laughter for us. There's a big difference in the mood and atmosphere between being with the family for the picture and being with your friends.

I'd rather take my photoshoots with friends ANY DAY.

Rest of the photos can be found here

Later had mahjong whereby Eva proceeded to kill us off with her "Hua Shang Zi Mo Man Tai". (Flower Up Self Win Full Tai). Her home ground advantage. Sigh. Plus I guess I was a lousy player. Kept paying "mahjong school fees".

(Mahjong school fees - when you keep losing money at mahjong, we refer the money lost as tuition fees to learn to play mahjong.)

Then we ended off the night with Crab Bee Hoon and other sinful dishes near Sempang Bedok.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Nail Designs

Hehe I've not posted photos of my nails for a long long time. Inspired recently by Adidas stripes I did the two below.

I ate a Rainbow today.

2008-05-23T19:57:00.006+08:00

Sweet yet sour at the same time.

Yep new blog look. I pulled an old picture of mine which to this date I still love the best. This was way back when I got yellow and red highlights. Haha ... I know super ah-lian.

Someone buy this for me and I will love love love you!!!
I'm now tempted to go back to Takashimaya to buy the mini version. But mini version only got like 5 longans on top. I WANT MANY MANY!!!

Just this Wednesday, was at my usual hangout at Zouk dancing the night away. Casual wear night. Haha almost all my friends wore SUPER casual. Me with my white cap, jeans and flat shoes, the other girls in tee shirt and shorts and slippers/sneakers, the guys in tee shirt and berms!!!

Saw a funny guy with a Nemo cap ... wait I have a photo here.

Besides the lame cap, he so OWNED the floor for about 2 mins with his funky hiphop street moves. Gosh!

Had a fun night. At last left at 3:50am to be greeted by a scary long line of taxis.

So many cabs were cutting the cab queue too!!! 3 rows leh!!! Stupid drivers. Because of the impatient cabbies that were on the outside lanes, the queue abiding cabbies cannot get past them. STUPID.

Sumos Washing Car
Just saw this super cute ad for Subara from this blog. Sexy~!

Bought this cute mini game. Pokey the barrel to make the pirate pop!

I was reading Kenny Sia just today about his virgin acting experience for this potato chip ad. The final ad ... SUPER CUTE. Really find they're ... enthusiasm for the chips really like HUNGRY fishes in the river.

Speaking of animals .... er ... you all know there's birds who build round big nests to be their homes right? Well ... there's one in Rotterdam and it's huge. It's a design by Benjamin Verdonck called Giant Nest. DAMN it's real looking.

I wonder if any real birds would go there to make it their homes ... they'll be like ... SUITE!!!

I caught a rainbow in my hand today

2008-05-13T23:42:00.004+08:00

Loving this Wall-E Love Seat. I wanna go back there again and take a picture ... I wanna kissy Wall-E.

Watched "What Happens in Vegas" last night.
Not bad. Very good for a couple/chick flick.
Cameron Diaz is one of those classic blondes who proves small boobs are still SEXY.

This morning I was super super early for work. But if I wasn't I wouldn't have caught this beautiful sight while waiting for the bus.

Oh and the toys on my desk ... messy I know.

WishList ... the beginning.

2008-05-13T18:24:00.000+08:00

I want the iTouch!!!

Lifestyle Changes

2008-05-12T17:14:00.007+08:00

Out with the old and in with the new ... well some at least.

OLD to go out in a big black bag:

1. Mouldy Makeup
GAH I actually found alien lifeform on my powders!!! And some powders are so lousy that I use one time, don't like it, then never use again.

2. Bags
I have like got 30 bags I think. And there are some even spoiled liao but I still keep!! Guess I have a hoarding habit. Okay some need to go.

3. Clothes
Those who have seen my wardrobe know that I have too much clothes for my own good YET I always complain that I've nothing to wear. Well, presently I got like 3 paper bags full of unwanted clothes, which I need to pass to my MIL. She should know what she can do with them.

4. Shoes
I got like ... at least 40 pairs of shoes and still haven't count my slippers. You cannot say I buy so many. Cause many a time I've diligently brought my precious shoes to a cobbler to get them fixed.

Once I brought like 10 pairs of shoes, mostly to fix the rubber bits at the bottom of the heels. Hee hee.

But then there a few beyond repair. I seriously need to throw them out, including those really old ones that I can no longer fit in nor wear.

5. Jewellery
I got hundreds of earrings and a lot of rings and pendants. Got to throw out the rusting ones and get rid of all those chains which make my neck itchy.

I'm allergic to some soft of metal allow from those default chains that come with the necklaces. Silver plating one of the salesgirl told me. I just need 3 lengths of GOOD silver chains, short medium long.

6. Barang barang
Okay in short whatever miscellaneous stuff that I think at the point of time, "I might have use for this later."

I wonder when my new room would be ready. I need to shift stuff soon.

... wishing tomorrow would come faster.

2008-05-09T16:45:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow's Saturday ... yay yay yay.

Need a new look

2008-04-29T10:57:00.003+08:00

Okay I'm not talking drastic like a hair cut (which I did consider at one point in time).

I'm talking about my blog look.

Sick of looking at it. Thinking of doing something either very funky or very cute.
Haven't decided yet what to do. Gonna browse a few art works to get inspired.

Anyway things are just ... okay with me.

1 - New home

Coming along okay.

My room floor is still not layed though. Colours not chosen either although I DID decide earlier ... stupid hubby made me keep changing my mind. I'm now considering a bluish light grey for one wall and white for the rest.

My bed is taking up so much space in the room that it's giving me SO much problem finding a position for my wardrobe.

Now having the problem of WHERE to house my two dogs. I am thinking of using the spare room for the meanwhile. Initially supposed to be the living room but the floor will get stained. So I have to think of something FAST.

2 - Work

Still haven't confirm. Oh well ... they did say 6 months probation.

Glad to say I still like going to work. Interesting things happen everyday.

Only prob ... I still hate waking up early in the mornings

3 - Beach
Recently I've been joining a group of friends for some "Fun in the Sun". Last weekend was more daring enough to actually wear the bikini on its own, bearing my white ass to the world

See here for a few pictures ... @ the Beach

And like I said ... get facebook if you still don't have it! =P

4 - Clubbing

Well ... as usual Wednesday nights you can catch me at Zouk. This Wednesday is gonna be scary though. Girls ... er ... go early.

Saturday nights it's Double O. Er ... I just like going there. Never need to worry about getting overboard with drinking nor sleeping too late ... cuz the next day's always Sunday ... SLEEP LATE! Yay!

A Cruel Act Of Art

2008-04-25T13:28:00.005+08:00

I received this in the mail today and I found it to be a cruel display of what was labelled as art.

Read it and tell me, cruel or not?

http://guillermohabacucvargas.blogspot.com/

My opinion :

The artist says he wants to just showcase the situation of the strays on the
streets.

Then why not we grab a homeless kid and tie him to the wall too so we can showcase the situation of the homeless people too!!!

CRAZY
LOGIC!!!!

The poor dog would have had a chance of finding food and water in the streets unlike the "NO CHOICE" situation of the poor dog TIED to the damn wall.

The email I received :

In the 2007, the 'artist' Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, he tied him to a rope in an art gallery, starving him to death. For
several days, the 'artist' and the visitors of the exhibition have watched
emotionless the shameful 'masterpiece' based on the dog's agony, until
eventually he died.

Does it look like art to you?

But this is not all ... the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the 'installation' was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008.

Lazy to post

2008-04-23T18:11:00.002+08:00

Hee hee ok ok I've been lazy and not posting still.

I got darker over the weekend I think .. my chest whiter than my limbs.

Girls more beach outings please.

I'm gonna just throw a link here ... go look at my photos in facebook ... keke. You need to be a member of facebook to see.

Some random pictures.

EVERYONE has facebook ... if you don't ... er ... get one!

New Laptop!!!

2008-04-16T12:54:00.003+08:00

Yay! The new laptop has arrived.

Now I need to transfer all the stuff from the old one into the new one.

Hubby wants to take over and I have to give it to him ... empty.

Damn I need Microsoft Office. Anyone has???

Long time No see.

2008-04-11T12:37:00.002+08:00

I got ... TONS of photos waiting to be uploaded. But ever since my laptop was formatted ... it was never the same. SLOW LIKE SIAO and my programs are like all gone.

Tomorrow I'm gonna buy a new laptop and my dear friend bought for me a suite of the adobe programs ... yeah!

Expect updates ... er ... soon.

.
.
.

Oh ya ... new house key taken ... floors are almost done ... next ... PAINT!

Days are just getting worse

2008-02-21T16:45:00.002+08:00

Ever since the 3rd day of Chinese New Year I've been feeling very cold, especially at night.

There was no fan, no air con, nor was I sleeping near any window. I was huddled in a corner mostly on a leather sofa ... shivering my ass off.

(I was waiting for hubby to finish gambling with his family.)

For the past 2 weeks, my body suddenly felt like it has only half its energy left. The usual NTUC shopping that I could carry with one hand with no problem, I had to put into two hands and yet my arms ached.

Then for the past week, I've been having the weirdest sort of fever. It only happens at night. During the day, I actually look fine, except of course the lack in body strength and threshold to pain. Even light pats feel like rough shoulder rubs to me now.

The fever comes once I hit the bed in the evenings. I'll be sweating and shivering at the same time. But once the morning comes ... I only feel weak but not feverish.

But for the past 3 days ... sigh ... RASHES came too. DAMMIT!!!!

Do you see where I'm heading here?

I think I got it again ... Dengue Fever.

... and that's the reason why I don't want to go see the doctor. I don't want to go back to living that 4days 3nights again in a hospital. I rather try to recover at home.

I already missed one Mambo for 2008 because of this stupid fever. Cries.

i hate vday

2008-02-15T12:32:00.001+08:00

We didn't celebrate Christmas.

I was alone on my birthday.

We didn't celebrate our wedding anniversary.

And now, Valentine's Day he left me alone.

This year has been crap so far, and it seems to be continuing in that direction.

.
.
.

I want things to change for the better ... but he's making it so hard.

Super Update!!!

2008-02-12T20:18:00.000+08:00

Super Random Posts ... please bare with me.
My laptop just returned to me a while ago. I've yet to get back my portable harddrives.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

First up ... I just HAVE to RAVE about this.

Ex but ... so worth it. I love the colour.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

My hubby's side of the family.

My side didn't take ... cuz ... too many.
Just imagine ... at my mom's place ... 100 people squeezed into a terrace house.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last entry for 2007!!!

2007-12-30T17:31:00.000+08:00

I've not posted since like ... okay half a month ago. But it feels like a long long time.

Okay let me check ... what happened after ZoukOut.

Warning : Photo Heavy!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Had a delicious meal with a friend at the popular Jap restaurant in Marina Square. But I cannot remember the name. LOVE the dessert (which I stupidly forgot to take a picture of!!!)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then celebrations for Cyn's Andrew. Another year older ... another year wiser. Kaka.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another birthday and this time is for Kairen.

I just realized ... how come no shot of the birthday boy!??!?!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christmas!!!! Went to Ya's house for ... TOO MUCH FOOD and played card games. Hee hee. Fun sia. But from now onwards I'll never play "In-Between" ever again. It's a scary game. Got something wrong. Every single bet that I made of more than $1 .... I confirm 100% will lose, even when I get good cards like a 2 and a Queen.

Not much pics cuz I was too busy pigging out and having fun hahahaha.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nights at Mambo.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last Retro Metro of the year 2008! There was cotton candy and popcorn and plenty of balloons. FUN!!!

HAHA I got sabo-ed by my buddies to join in a little group contest. We had two teams, winner gets a bottle of Hennessy!!!! We won!

Er ... what we had to do ... er ... *blushes*

We had to dance to the song "Together Forever" ala MAMBO STYLE!!! YES ALL THOSE HAND MOVEMENTS!

Didn't matter who won!!! Both teams were all people we knew!!! WOO!
I think my side won cuz we had girls. HAHahaha!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RANDOMNESS~!

I have another pair which is not as comfortable ... hopefully after I stick the rubber paddings it would be okay.

I wanna new watch for my birthday ... but I already have my eye on a certain DKNY ... now just need to find the model number then I can ask my friend to find discount for it.

Simply loving my snowflake earrings. I love snowflakes.

This company never think of the dialect translation when they registered their company.

LIFE TIME SUPPLY!!! If you can survive that long smoking those without dying from cancer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christmas Nail Art

Another Christmas Nail Art but ... plain.

Was going for a wedding in JB. Decided to clean up my nails and add a little girly to it.

Wanted to jus play with my little crystals. Hee hee. But I hate it when they drop off so easily. Or maybe I'm just too rough.

ZOUK OUT was a blast!

2007-12-12T14:11:00.000+08:00

Zoukout was a blast!!!

Too bad it's gonna be the last at Sentosa until the resort is up and running. But I think any other place that Zoukout will be held will never be the same.

I heard newspaper write ... Batma ... *shudders* SPARE ME!!!!

Very very few Sentosa pictures leh ... some of them copied from friend's blog keke.

Before Sentosa ... Jo and me camwhoring. Hahah. Love our shades.

Eh girl ... my leg leh!

Dunno why nowadays my tongue doesn't like to stay in my mouth ... whoops.

Shiny eyes ... er ... a bit lah.

Long lashies!!! Kekek.

La la la ... er ... boh liao.

Please can we go party now?

Act sweet only lah. Keke ... beware we're bitches really.

I so totally forgot to take a picture of what I wore. This is the closest that I have to what I wore ... sigh ... regret. Felt REALLY comfortable that night.

So that was Zouk Out ... I can't wait for the next beach party with the girls. But really ... the whole next day ... SHACKED OUT!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Christmas in the office

Presently I'm working at D-Link as a temp data entry in Jurong East til the end of the month. They really have the feel here for Christmas.

Just look at the number of mini trees.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ya's Birthday at Wala Wala

Hee hee another one to the 26 year old club. Va's one coming soon ... then it'll be me again. CRIES!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Car Boot Flea Market at St. James Power Station Car Park

So many cars ... for what????

I only bought ONE item but it was a super good deal. No piccy though. Forgot.
It's big enough to put A4 sized stuff. It's black with fake snake print. It's handles are long enough for comfy carrying. Only two silverish marks.

It's TWO DOLLARS. *beams with delight*

Anyone got any idea when's the next one???? I wanna sell stuff out of my car boot too!!!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nail Art Fun

Multi blue layers. 4 to be exact.

New bright pink and black french tips. And a row of light pink gems on each.

Demons ... I want one.

2007-12-07T09:50:00.000+08:00

OMG Compass is going to be another trilogy. But darn the show looks fantastic so far. I am really fascinated by the idea that each person has a demon.

But it's scary that when your demon is being choked ... you get choked too. You slap your own demon ... you're just slapping yourself.

Sigh ... The Golden Compass ... PART TWO COME OUT QUICK!!!!

.
.
.

On another note my friend brought me to a beautiful place called the Villa Bali near Vivo ... really serene place and quite big surprisingly. Cool atmosphere with a easy listening music (no live band), simple drinks and glad to say not crowded. Good intro.

Loving the place. But next time I'll be going in slip on shoes. I wanted to prop my legs up so many times due to the relaxing feel. In the end I just felt my legs go to sleep a few times.

.
.
.

Photos soon ... but damn ... might even kenna after Zoukout. I think I'll consider bringing the laptop to Sentosa tomorrow to edit and upload. Hee hee.

ZOUK OUT TOMORROW!!! See ya guys there!!!

Who are going Zoukout this weekend???

2007-12-05T10:50:00.000+08:00

Okay okay ... I know I've not been blogging for ... quite a bit. Dunno why.

Basically surf too much in the office, then go home no more mood to surf liao.

Then all my photos at home ... so ... er ... sorry lah.

Will upload all my photos soon ... watch out ... it's quite ... a lot.

Ooh ooh ... who are going Zoukout this weekend?!!!!

Nothing much to say ...

2007-11-07T11:05:00.000+08:00

A lot of small things happened to me in the past week ... none of which I want to really ... aiyah just simply don't have the mood to talk about them.

Basically ...

22nd Oct - BLACK EYED PEAS IN CONCERT.
I wish I could talk more about this ... but nothing can describe the feeling of light headedness listening to BEP belt out the songs that made me stand at my seat dancing!!!

27th & 28th Oct - Went to a seminar about Internet Marketing.
Felt like school again when taking the notes. He spoke too fast! And in the end I felt he was trying to sell his programs. But at least I gained quite a few tips on how to full use eBay, Facebook, Blogger to boost my potential range of people seeing my website.

27th Oct - Halloween @ Zouk
As usual ghouls and freaks. I didn't get a group shot of me and my girls. Yan was ADORABLE as a jap maid, complete with curls. Va was a little vamp. Ya was a pink bunny! I went as a black kitty.
The costumes there ranged from lame, fantastic, complicated, funny, gory, yellow (bananas again, B1 & B2), etc. It was a circus ... packed to the brim.

1st Nov - IMM Mall parking is no longer free. Now it's :
1st 3 hours - free.
4th hour - $1.07
Every subsequent 15 mins - 30 cents
Still relatively ok but that means I cannot drive to work anymore. T_T

Presently I've been working in Jurong East as a temporary data entry girl while a colleague went on marternity leave. At least now earning a little bit. $7 per hour.

My high school friend Michael is getting married this Friday. So excited. I'll be looking very forward to it ... plus meeting all our old buddies.

Damn I don't know what to wear!!!

Pre Halloween Party

2007-10-15T14:05:00.000+08:00

A mini Halloween pre-party

I was invited by a friend to join him and his friends for a mini-halloween party.

They transformed the whole bungalow into a mini haunted mansion. Fun. A lot of effort was done.

I went as a kitty. In boots ... kinda like puss in boots ... now contemplating renting a muskateer hat to go with the outfit leh!

See ya all at Zouk on the 27th! Keke.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Another nail art ... er ... didn't like how this one turned out ... I should have used a different colour of gems.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Last Friday had dinner with Jos and Jas at Vivo's HK Kim Gary Restaurant. I love this restaurant cause relatively compared to most of the other eateries there ... this is one of the cheapest. Also I love their mushroom rice ... got corn and meat of choice. HEALTHY?!

Jos bombarded us with mini chupa chups. My teeth are gonna fall off. Keke.

Another Mambo night @ Zouk

2007-10-11T16:57:00.000+08:00

I tried on some fake eyelashes today. Took freakin half an hour to just get it on. Then the glue lousy one.

I think I'll go Sasa to get that sticker thing to stick on my lids. Hrmmm.

-----------------------------------------------

Another fun night at Mambo. Wheeeee! Enjoy the photos.

-----------------------------------------------

A little drawing preview of what I wanna dress up for Halloween.

Doggies' Hair Cut Day

2007-10-08T18:43:00.000+08:00

(On Saturday, Mistress Tyrene burnt a $200 hole in her pocket for their haircuts and baths.)

First up ... Zhuzhu. This newly turned 3 boy finally can see clearly again.
Hehe desperately needed to chop off those messy hair of his.

See their messy hair?! Haiz.
Forgot to take a pic of them after they cut ... darn.

Forgot to bring back my DS Lite charger from my cousin's doggy salon. Brought Bibi along since she seldom goes out. Had a great time letting Bibi running around the shop, playing fetch with her, and tried to teach her to walk down stairs again.

This is Junior. One of Cynthia's (my cousin) golden retreiver. Daughter of Casper.

---------------------------------------------

Met Josephine and Jasmine again on Friday for dinner. A quick dinner at Carl's Junior. Then a little shopping trip. Got myself the shorts that I needed for my costume! Yay!

Roger became Ovaltines moving chair loh! You imagine we from Topshop go to Forever21 ... like that! Hahah!

---------------------------------------------

On my way to St James. Took a few pics of myself in the lift to put some stuff in the car. Hehe ... the black rimmed contact lens plus me forcing my eyes open really make my eyes bigger.

Or else my eyes are super small ... typical chinese girl ... single eyelid some more! Sian.

---------------------------------------------

Two cartoon lovers ... love them so much til their cars ...

---------------------------------------------

I might be wearing my costume earlier than expected. Got invited to a mini halloween party that my friend is organising.

Just yesterday went to Concourse to help my friend find a costume to put together (mainly because ALL the costume rental stores are closed on Sundays). Lucky we got something and saved quite a bit of money, compared to expensive $50-$70 rentals.

For me ... I bought a $5 plastic sword. I'm sorely tempted to try dressing up a bit on Mambo night leh!!!! HOW HOW!!!!~~~~!!!!?????

Zhuzhu is three!!!

2007-10-04T14:22:00.000+08:00

TODAY!

IS!

MY!

ZHUZHU'S!

THIRD!

BIRTHDAY!!!

Time fly so fast. I can still remember that TINY ball of fur who peed on my doorstep when he first arrived.

Sigh. Now he's still a cute big ball of fur. Bringing him for a little hair cut together with the other 3 from his little family. Wah going to burning a big hole in my pocket again. >,<

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

I love Josephine's pink ciggies!!!! Not to smoke lah. But the fact the box is pink!
(note : I covered the icky rotting foot warning photo on the box with the pattern of the pink box. Nice? If only the whole box was really like that.)

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

I love this mango dou hua (mango with soya bean curd) dessert from Central, a chinese restaurant in B2 of Vivo. YUM!!!!! My ex-colleagues say that my face is like glowing when I ate this.

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

I just applied to do temp at HX & Cyn's company. Lower pay but at least it's a pay. Then he won't say I annoying liao. Sigh.

Hope I can start soon.

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

Late clubbing updates. Mambo usual lah ... wednesday last week was super crowded.

Then last Saturday was ... hot. As in sweating hot as usual. Got 2 friends' bdays. Lollipops all around. Keke. Got home a little tipsy but heng hubby was downstairs waiting for me.

But last night most of the girls didn't go Mambo. HENG got Cyn. Thanks Cyn.
Had fun but went back like 2plus. You imagine how fast I was flying. 2:30 get into my car at Zouk. 2:39 I was at my door in Kallang. Woosh!!!!!

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

*sneaks in my latest nail art photo*
Tried a graduation effect. Not very good though.
1st coat thinly on whole nail.
2nd coat on 2/3 of nail.
3rd coat on top 1/3 of nail.

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

Hee hee these are some of the props that I will be bringing with me on Halloween @ Zouk. Too bad it's on a Saturday 27th October.

I'm thinking of whether I should maybe bring red dismembered bear arm and hook it to my jeans for Mambo (which is ON 31st October) keke.

Last Day at LO

2007-09-26T15:09:00.000+08:00

Today is my last day at work.

I have to say it's a mixed feeling sitting at my office desk, slowly cleaning it up while still surfing the net (Facebook, forums, personal emails etc).

One side I'm happy. Yay! My last day!

No more waking up early ... til my next job.
No more Saturday morning work ... unless my next job requires.
No more people chasing me for datelines ... til my next job.

But another side I'm sad. Sigh, I'll miss ...

... my monthly salary.
... my colleagues (some lah).
... my desk.
... the fact that my office is next to VIVO and Sentosa!!!

I also have some items which I've not claimed for petty cash. Will be making it an excuse to come back to kaypoh when I'm free. Maybe this Friday afternoon since I'm meeting some of the colleagues (ex and present) for a drink at St James.

I also fully intend to make a private trip to Batam for a night stay and spa (a little treat for myself) so that I can visit the Production team, girls and boys at the yard. I miss their laughter especially whenever I am blur when they talk Indo.

.
.
.

on a lighter note, tonight going to check out some of the units at my future home area. Have to check out how hot it would get in the evening since it's facing the west. *faints*

Also tonight is Mambo night ... HX is going! Woot!

Busy Weekend!!!

2007-09-23T23:32:00.001+08:00

Friday, 21st Sept 2007

After work met some of my friends for dinner.

A simple dinner at White Dog Cafe with 4 tiny Thomas the Train cakes from Polar for a little boy who is going to turn 4 years old.

First stop was Toys'R'Us for the little boy's present.
Here's the little boy and a ... boy who cannot grow up, having fun with the transformers mask.

Ovaltine went back with a new train set complete with track and even a slide so his train can woosh down.

White Dog Cafe

A bit pricey lah. But I say the appetizers, snacks, soup and desserts were good. Main course is only so-so. My duck confit ... skin supposed to be crispy one ... came out a bit soft liao. Not one bit crispy.

Ovaltine just cannot sit still. But once the cake came, he is one very happy little kid. FOUR CAKES LOH! Haha tiny but still got four.

Then that Jason hor ... wah liew ... nudge his head while he was eating. Haha. Ovaltine's mouth in the end quite messy. But I have a feeling he cleaned it on Chrix's white t-shirt leh. HAR HAR HAR.

Saturday, 22nd Sept 2007

Went to Sentosa!!!!!!! Keke ... moi, Jasmine, Josephine, Ovaltine.

Jasmine jealous leh ... Ovaltine don't want to hold her hand but hold mine. No need jealous lah. He only hold my hand cause he must curry favour with me cause I'm the driver hahaha.

Had a huge meal at Junction 8's MacDonald. Almost died.

Then at last Sentosa. Even though we spent only like 1 hour plus on the sand ... I had a lot of fun just watching Ovaltine play. Dunno why he like crawling in the sand leh.

Then he started getting red ... worrying loh. Decided to call it a day. Really the sun was still hot considering it was already 4plus to 5plus in the evening.

Then while waiting (for so blardy long) in the toilet to bathe, Ovaltine successfully entertain we 3 women. A lot of laughing.

Love his way of copying Russel Peter's line, "Be a man. Do the right thing."

See that face ... how to resist??? Confirm this boy will grow up to be "lady killer".

Went to Marina Square, end up just only go to TopShop then kenna activated to go to ... Hongkong Cafe at Cineleisure.

The traffic ah ... I tell you ... killer!!! Then the car park ah ... another stressful situation. We kept MISSING the lots that got vacated. Ended up other cars who came in later got the lot ... UNLUCKY!

But heng ... Josephine saw one ... whoosh!!!! Park!!! Win!

Wait wait ... that look is damn familiar!!!

Hahah sorry Ovaltine ... don't hate me. But really look like mah!

Er girls ... that ... er ... video ... I dare not post up leh. If you want to get from me just msn me. And any original sized photos unedited you want from me also MSN me.

Sunday, 23rd Sept 2007

Today visited my cousin's newly opened Doggy Salon. Really nice place!!!

Her location is very good.

Friends, any of you have doggies or kitties or even small animals like hamsters rabbits etc. Need grooming? Come to my cousin's new salon!

Today felt like cooking something nice for my darlings. So off to NTUC supermarket. While waiting at the cashier I saw this ad for the Lay's potato chips. See below.

Wah kaoz right???? How can the photographer not notice this!?!?! The girl can die of embarrassment liao!

Anyway I only bought corn and baby carrots from NTUC. Oh and two cartons of HL milk. Not for me though. Milk is for my darlings. Yes they can drink HL milk. No milk in their kibbles they will not eat loh. Fussy little tykes.

I know lah ... VERY long time never take pictures of my darlings liao. They cannot sit still mah. Morever keep forgetting.

I recently have a memory of a goldfish loh. My friends all know this especially when it comes to finding my car. Cries.

Short intro hor.

Zhuzhu is my first darling boy. Coming to 3 years old in October 2007. He is the most obedient among them. Can bring him out without leash loh.

He loves nice long baths, water must be warm. He'll just sit there under the shower letting the water flow. He also like my hairdryer. Everytime I dry hair he will come near and I use the hot air blow his face. He will just close his eyes and enjoy the hot air.

Bibi is my second darling. We got her cause we found Zhu so lonely. So found him a little girlfriend from a pet farm in Seletar.

Only after we bought her, we found one of her hind legs to be inactive compared to the rest. We brought back to the farm the next day. They thought we wanted to return her. But we already fall in love with her, won't give her back one lah. We just asked what to do since she's like that.

After little walks and trips to the beach and outings, her leg became strong. But now I wonder if it's a bad thing as she can jump REALLY high.

She's also really clever. Know how to push the fencing so that she can escape. No matter how we secure the doggy fence she will find a way.

Then Zhu and Bi came .. Ber. Zhu Bi Ber - some sort of porridge. I told myself my 3rd dog will be called Ber.

So came Berber my 3rd dog. Oh and not forgetting Xiongxiong. He is the 4th. Why two? Naughty Zhu and Bibi, then preggers ... then pop came 3 dogs.

If you check back my blog to I think November or October last year ... you can see my entry about them. 3 ... 1 died the 2nd day. Left 2. Sigh.

Ber is a guniang dog. Girly girly one. So many times I call him girl girl. Less noisy compared to his younger brother Xiong. But BOTH hate baths, BOTH hate hair dryer, BOTH are greedy pigs. Anything in their bowl also eat. Haiz.

Xiong is xiong cause his face looked like a bear when he was younger. My hubby's granny named him that.

Drew these little cards for some of my female colleagues. Attached are little doggie magnets. Tied together with shiny clovers.

Hope they like.

My last day is this Wednesday, 26th Sept 2007. Will celebrate at Mambo. Woot!

27th Sept going to choose my new house liao ... yeah. Hope can get high high one.

Left Eye Blind

2007-09-15T21:28:00.000+08:00

I was sent to SGH A&E today.

Infection in my left eye.

Have to put drops every half hour to 1 hour.

Check up again this coming Monday.

Pray it's nothing serious.

Picture time!

2007-09-08T11:10:00.000+08:00

Picture time again.

I didn't eat these two. My colleagues did. But I tried the Mango Tofu ... SUPER sweet and soft and icy. I wanna go back there!!!

Things my hubby loves to do to gross me out.

... me silly again.

I think this was thrown away cause I saw a neighbour moving out that same weekend.

Anyone have any idea what this sign is about???
I found it near Shaw Centre one of the office buildings. On the side on the outside.

I'm at home on a Saturday morning. Feel ill. Hubby not around some more. Sian.

I wanna roller blade or go to the beach!!!

Meanwhile I'll draw something to "commemarate" my leave of my job. Muahaha.

Zouk - Paul Van Dyke

2007-09-02T09:54:00.000+08:00

Saturday morning was a bore for me. Only tidied up my pile of documents into "To Throw", "To Shred" and "To Keep".

My "To Keep" pile was very small.

Then tidied up ONE database and sent one email. La la la.

Afternoon ... was baby visiting time. 2 one week old chinchillas!!!! SO SMALL LOH!!!!

At first they were huddled together. Mic and me didn't know. We thought it was ONE! Haha.

So tiny! Tiny eyes, tiny feet, tiny tail, tiny ears ... tiny shit too haha.

Night time was shiok. The music was great. But the crowd ... sigh ... too darn crowded. I almost fainted from lack of oxygen.

End of Saturday.

Sunday morning, dragged my body out of bed. Have to go to comex. Yeah.

Didn't go home empty handed.

Bought a brand new 120GB external harddrive.
All my videos and drawings will be saved there, I guess.

A 2GB M2 card for my Sony Ericsson handphone.
Now can put more songs and not worry about taking too many photos.

Okay short sweet post ended.

New layout

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

New layout done!

At last ... I almost died doing the alignment only to find out that my photobucket account auto edits the size of my pictures. Bleah.

You might recognise the picture from somewhere long ago in my blog entries. At last they're clothed and coloured.

This is not the initial look that I wanted to give them but just wanted to do a quickie layout.

at last ~!

2007-08-26T11:44:00.000+08:00

AT LAST I GOT MY NEW LAYOUT WORKING WITH TAGBOARD AND ARCHIVES.

Xin ... I hope you're happier now ... got tag board so tag away.

This is a temporary layout ... I am fully intending to change it to suit MY tastes.

Update on Cyn's Bday

2007-08-25T22:43:00.000+08:00

Happy Birthday Cyn!!!
Here are the photos.

The Besties

I lost damn early in 5-10. First to finish my cup of beer. But I drove that night so that's my limit.

Then the dear girl got gifts.
This she was happy about.

But I'm not sure about this one.

Go Cyn Go!

She seems ... happy about the drink ... keke

In fact both of them seem happy.

This is a little post birthday celebration with the bitches.
Disappointed with the service at Sakae Sushi. They'e terribly understaffed.
But we enjoyed our food.

Dunno how did Cyn pack in so much food into her FLAT belly. Not to mention she still had waffle ice cream after that.

But she still loses to the ... buffet Queen PS!!!

I say I'll photoshop myself in ... I LIED hahahaha. >,<

Hope you girls liked the flowers.

Secretly down inside I want some guy to give me flowers again. He's not given me any since secondary school. All because of something stupid I said ... regret so much.
And a bouquet of toy flowers are just to die for. LURVE such cute things. Sigh.

I'm happy to find some cheap service from a pasar malam (night market) no less for custom names with acrylic plates.

$5 each ... one for my nick and one for my name. Tomorrow's the last day for the pasar malam. Will be going back there to do a key chain ... "Bitch"

I'm still looking for those who do custom names in a silver cursive form but not on a plate.

I'm a sucker for cute hatchbacks. Hehe.

Clubbing Pictures Update

2007-08-09T14:25:00.000+08:00

Sorry folks for the lacak of updates.
So here's a few clubbing pictures to tide over for a while.

My bitches from Mambo. Keke.

Other crazy fun ...

I duno how the hell this meal from Sakae looked so good. Most likely it's from the shiny tastiness of the food.

Big drink set up.

VOOOOM~!

Somebody loves his adidas.

Reminiscing Primary school days over tea and latte.

Things I drew this week :

This is my avatar from Gaia Online dressed in a priest like outfit. Accessorized with gold bracelet, gold neck piece and funky tattoos and double Halos. Keke.

This is a gift that I made for a fellow Gaia Online friend. Gaia had a new line of bikinis with cute rubber tubes. I found the outfits too cute to resist. Now if only I could have the bod to fit in a cute rainbow bikini. Sigh.

Actually I drew this long ago. I don't know why I never posted this. Was trying out a new pose to reference.

randomicity

2007-07-22T13:29:00.000+08:00

I've not updated for ages. Blame it on a new RPG game I'm playing. Keke. ADDICTED.

Okay tiny update. Nothing much lah. My life is pretty much boring now.

Latest Bling Toy ... PSP.

I JUST got my brand new Citi Clear credit card. Service was fast at Vivo. I applied on Friday and got my card on Saturday. Hee hee. Used it for free entry to Double O.

Good thing about this card is that there is no minimum income required (yea my income still doesn't hit the 30k min for a credit card), and there's a credit limit of $500. Muahaha. Good way of saving. I'm putting aside $500 every month and then whatever's leftover will become savings instead of potential spending money during the month.

I like looking at this small colourful corner. Maybe I should get a cork board.
Whenver I get REALLY stressed up, I'll take that bear and put it on my head to remind myself to calm down. My colleagues are perplexed by my behaviour.

Sushi for lunch?

9th August!!! Too bad no longer at National Stadium, cannot see fireworks from my house liao.

See what I found at my void deck.

One of the few sights I get to see while sitting on that dreaded ferry ride to and fro Singapore office and Batam shipyard. Rest of the time I'll be sleeping. Keke.

Ouch ... >,<

Guess what?

Autobots Transform!

2007-07-08T13:45:00.000+08:00

TRANSFORMERS ROCKED!!!!!

I so wanna watch it again.

Only gripe I had with it was the complexity of the bad guys. Their composition seemed too complicated. And when they fought. I found it hard to see what was what. I only recognised the good and the bad from the mangled mess by colour.

Ooh and when my friend said that if I like cars in general that I would like this show ... he was right. Drooling after the cars. I'm sorely tempted to make my first car a cute bumblebee yellow with the two black strips.

Should I? Let me work on getting my pay rise first.

Major Nail Art Update

2007-07-08T13:09:00.000+08:00

Wah sey I long time never post my nail art liao.
Hee hee. Ya I changed my nail pattern many times since the last time I uploaded a nail art. Here are some of the nicer ones. Plus one I just did today.

Started out being just plain purple. Then so boring loh.
Added a silver dot and a gold dot.
All I missing is a bronze dot and I'll have top 3 prizes on each nail liao haha.
Okay lamerz I know.

Simply love the patterns I got from my newest nail print plate. Those lines are not individually done by me lah. I don't have that skillz.
It was a simple pattern stamp print.
Added white french tips and a little pink rhinestone to bling it up a teeeny bit.

Another boring green nails.
Added two thick black lines together with black french tips.
Never used the square rhinestones before so put one for each of the longer lines.
Look nice but didn't last long cause the square-ness of the rhinestone didn't sit totally on the curve of the nail surface. Drop damn fast ... heart pain.

This is the part one version of the next photo. Simple black slanted for 1/3 of the nail. Then pasted lacy nail sticker on top.
Simple and sweet ... =)

But you know me lah. Too simple very sian.
Added a thin black line to end with a dark blue rhinestone.

Reason for change - my darling right pinky LONG nail BROKE!!!! Cries. Don't even have any bit of the white left.
So cleaned up and just put black french tips ... and dotting along for that fun touch. Hee hee.

Okay nail show over. I should actually gather the girls one day and we do each others' nails ... it'd be really fun sia.

I darkened a lot after Redang loh! Same place, same phone, same lighting, same girl friend. But me become dark chocolate.

Just look at the difference in me. Jas still the same fair skin but me ... bleah.

But I'm glad to say that I love my colour. I know in the photo not flattering lah. (I know I fat too. No need reminder.)

I miss Redang. Comparing the sand and sea of Redang and Sentosa is like comparing clean white pillows found in lux hotels to lumpy ones found in cheap hostels.

Sorry to Sentosa fans, but my love shall be for Redang. Until I find a better beach.
(Ling I envy your experience in Maldives.)

There's a little game we girls play whenever we see a beetle car. (New Volkswagen Beetle not counted. That one is too common.)
Whenever we see a beetle car ... we have to hit the nearest person's head and say twist first before we get hit. Usually when this happens I'm driving ... so quite unlucky. Haha. I got hit quite a few times when driving in America.

Before I went to Redang, one of the dinner nights, Granny next door cooked my favourite Mee Siam!
Super spicy ... but I don't blardy care!!! Had 3 big bowls. My lips were a little swollen from it but damn I felt good.

Cute ad but I noted that all the seats with that ad in the cabin was empty. HAHA~!

Same great taste, twice the size.

Okay I'm going back to work. Yeah doing work on a Sunday. My own fault really. I delayed it for too long.

*faints*

What I did last weekend

2007-07-03T23:37:00.000+08:00

I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I wanna go back.
