Saturday Midnight

When i'm a student, this time is for mugging. If holiday, is drama.

I remember how badly i wanted to stop studying and start working becoz weekend is mine. I can go out and have fun etc.

But at this time, i'm working.

Either i'm a workaholic, or there is too much work to be done. But then i dunno which is the option that is true.

Afterall, both may apply. Work-Life Harmony seems to be not for me.

Though so much said, my progress sux. Baby was sick this afternoon when he is at my house. I kinda feel bad for him to suffer in my cold aircon which i refuse to turn off at this hot weather. Luckily, things became better for him by the late afternoon.

Ended up today, i have no good progress, only one page load-save done. and then nv did anything for maintenance project. Haiz~ pershaps i have to work harder tonight, or maybe OT more next week to make things better.

Enough of work issues, let's talk about other things~


Barcook Raisin Cheese Cream

i first tried it after candice reco to me. It was heavenly tasted when we bought it piping hot from the shop. I won't say the same when i bought it home. Heating it up taste better but definitely not comparable to what was tasted outside the shop.

But anyway, i bought some home yesterday such that mummy and baby can try it!! mummy find it nice and baby too~ i wish i could bring them there instead and they will know the taste of heavenly. But then since it wasn't that possible, i had to make the trip down.

Buying this is never easy. I went down twice to buy home with failure. Their bread baking after 4:30pm is for orders only. So if u work really near, u can pop by during lunch to order. As for me, i called abt 10am to order what i wanted, along with jason, wk and candice. So after work 4 of us went happily to collect the loots (after pestering wk to stop working).

Tonight, after dinner, i had a weird thinking so ask baby and mummy to go selegie~


my favourite selegie beancurd!!

Yes!! i finally brought my favourite two to my favourite beancurd shop. As usual, the queue is long but fast. We ate alot!! each of us have a beancurd, a cup of soya milk and the 3 of us share 2 you tiao, 2 butterfly and 2 ham-chee-peng!! yummy yummy~ and it is the reason why i'm freaking full now such that i couldn't sleep at all~


tons of sinful food!!

when eating, i mentally thought that if i'm ever going to go overseas to work for a long time, this is definitely what i gging to eat before i fly!! (J.Co Donut is another).

I love bring my mum out, as well as gging out with baby. So sometimes it is kinda tough for me to go the same good place twice.. in that case, i rather bring them both together (though some ppl may think i crazy to have mum gging out with bf). But well, i think they enjoy each other company?


mum enjoy her food


baby prefer food than hime

no pictures of me though~ coz no makeup and i took 3 to test and it is really bad skin for me~

we took bus there, and mum & i took mrt back~ good ger right? no taxi~ haha~ coz is too full such that taxi or bus will make me puke. (Now is like 2 hours since we finish the food and i'm still full lor~! amazing~) another reason is to let mum have a try of the circle line. So we took mrt from little india to serangoon, then from serangoon chance to circle line to bishan.

mum was amazed by the speed and that how we reach interchange upon coming out the the circle interchange. But i knew that she wanted to take bus 56 home (we have a direct bus afterall. taking train-train-bus sound stupid when the timing is like 5-10 mins difference as now no jam). well good exp for the always-taxi-mummy. and for me? i was too excited abt it thus i took the line on friday after buying bread for chinatown! I simply love circle line as it will the mrt line that brings baby thia to me asap when the full line is working.

i gotta hit the gym soon coz alot of food-eating upcoming, including tml gging rakuzen with godpa and godma~ yummy tempura and sashimi is calling me!!

New table!!

Yes! i finally got the table that i wanted so badly!!

Story behind the table.
It was not that there is a particular table that i wanted. But since after baby bought the bed for me, we have threw my computer desk and i always had to use lappy on my bed or use lappy in the living room. For the past one or two weeks, i had to borrow the mahjong table such that i can work in the aircon room, sitting on my desk, but it is kinda irritating to me...



On the day of NYP Grad aka Dumpling Festival, Baby went to ikea with me in the afternoon to go our purchase.

Being a high maintenance ger, there is no way that i will spent tons of money on a simple desk. I dun need drawers etc, and i dun need something super good. I just need it cheap and usable and such that it can last me till my new house arrive.

We manage to get a table top and four legs to fix it by ourselves. The table top is white and supposingly should go with white legs, but baby prefer black legs so we took that instead..




Ok, i admit. i'm lousy/lazy in doing such stuff, so i pass all the hard labor work to baby. He fixed the table and even a step up stool for my daddy and mummy usage

and here i proudly present~ MY NEW TABLE!



Yeah!! *claps claps* and it is less than $40 bucks!

Thanks Baby for carrying all the stuff back from ikea for me~ all are so heavy and u refuse to let me take any of it~ *hugz* Thank you for assembling everything and not even a word of grumble. *hugz tighter*



Since thursday, this table has been my blogging and gaming counter. haha~

NYP Graduation

a few weeks ago, i was verbally invited by mr mark lim to attend NYP Graduation 2009 for Engineer Informatics. Being a good alumni, i knew i had to go. Luckily, with the off-in-lieu of vesak day, going to the event wasn't a waste of my leave. But of coz, it is never a waste even if i have to take leave.

then 2 weeks ago, i receive this in my mail box


the invitation card


28 May 09 10:00am

After that, i realise that it clashes with the dumpling festival, but mummy is kind enough to let me go instead of insisting that i should help me with the cooking to pray ancestors.

reach the venue just in time before it started, coz was cooking mushroom and duck before i left house. had to cab there, and saw daniel liu (deputy director, formally my course manager) and he say i was just in time. he "ushered" me in, and told the reception that i'm jasmine. Well, it was for the tag and other information brochure that they are providing.



The receptionistS hand over to me, and i got ushered by another student it. Daniel told the student to bring me to a centre seat, and i thought it was just a simple centre seat. HOWEVER, i sat right behind the guest of honour, and the ppl beside me are all the senior directors of the schools!! i'm kinda out of place there when ppl ask what's my name and where i was from. Kinda embarrassed coz i'm not like some big shot. They try making small conversation with me, and i guess they were shock to know i'm alumni. My age is probably just half of theirs.

Anyway, hime did not manage to take any pictures as i felt that i will be even more out of place if i take out my camera and start shooting. so mentally, i decided to take pictures at the end of the event. BUT!! at the end of the event, i was ushered to the food reception and i couldn't get a chance! T_T

The food reception is damn good lor~ apart from the buffet that taste pretty good, they even have someone frying tempura on the spot for us~ greedy hime had 5 tempura in a go, coz it is far better than sakae, though not as great as rakuzen. But afterall, it is free!!


my plate of food

notice that there is a glass beside the place? each plate has something to help you hold the drinks when we are eating~ i saw it from crystal blog but i never expect to see it here~ so interesting and it is really useful. However, my left hand started to ache after some time.

during the food reception, i manage to met up with alot of ppl and chat abt alot of things. adult world is so different. everyone is talking abt recession, industry etc. There are also ppl who will talk abt gging uni, and someone even ask abt my CAPS in uni lor~ kinda amazed.

Most interesting person has to be Mr Leong Sai Cheong. Upon seeing me, he told me that he heard about my gold medal in uni and tried to introduce a EI student who is enrolled in NUS and wanted to me to give him advices in scoring~ LOL.. Does he know my CAPS keeps dropping since 1st semester? But then, i sincerely felt that he is one who really cares abt the student. He is one of the lecturers that never fail to say hi when he see me in town.

So happy that most ppl remember me including Jessica Poon. Elaine forgot my name, but i forgot hers too. Saw Heng but din talk to him. Siva talk to me, but i can remember what we talk. Din saw Wayne, so i'm kinda disappointed. Haven't had a chance to talk to him since upon graduation. Cheong still remembers me, and this is the 1st time he din ask me if i still in contact with his D1s... Heartless D1s, go back and see him la~ i think he miss u all~

At the end of the event, Daniel usher me out and it was Good-Bye time.
I seriously thank Mark Lim for inviting me, but i din even get to see him~ Hopefully will get to see him again soon.



Good-bye NYP, you make me want to study again~

Dumpling Festival

is a super tiring event. Usually i will fall sick during the festival after all the tiredness plus the heat in the air. This time of the year is usually the hottest in Singapore(in my opinion). But well, this year i survive. Maybe because i'm worried about being suspected with swine flu so i insist that i need to be strong.


some dumplings that we tie

This year achievement :
Yellow color Dumplings : 71 + 98 = 169
Nonya Dumplings : 85 + 81 = 166

The whole event was super tiring~ but it was worth it when everyone ate it~

Wish mayu was here~ but nevertheless, dumplings can be made even it is not dumpling festival~

The next festival that i'm looking fwd to is mooncake festival.
I miss raffles' hotel mooncake.

First confirm case of H1N1 in Singapore

A 22-year-old Singaporean woman who was in New York from May 14-24, is down with the swine flu. This is Singapore's first reported case.

The patient arrived back in Singapore from New York on SQ25 on 26 May at 6.30am. While on the flight, she had developed a cough, but as she had no fever, she passed thru the airport scanners uneventfully. Later that same morning she visited her GP, who sent her to Tan Tock Seng Hospital due to her travel history.

She is currently being treated at the Communicable Disease Centre at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and is in stable condition.

Passengers who had travelled in the same flight and were seated in rows 52 to 58 are urged to call the hotline at 1800-333 9999 to enable the MOH to check on their health condition.

Killer Biscuits wanted for Attempted Murder

Lisa Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Several people notices her sitting in her car with windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head.

One customer who has been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He notices that Lisa's eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Lisa replied that she'd been shot in the back of her head, and had been holdng her brains in for over an hour.

The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car becaused the doors were locked and Lisa refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Lisa had a was of bread dough on the back of her head.

A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and that wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone notice and came to her aid.

Giraffe with Yan

When i wrote this right, i keep thinking that Giraffe is liyan.

Think about it~ she is tall and probably have a long neck becoz she is slim.. LOL...



Giraffe is a place opp where our president stay. Yes, Istana Park. Yan still thought that istana Park refer to the place president stay. How could a restaurant be in therE? haha.. are you dissappointed upon arrival?


inside view

The inside view is pretty good. i kinda like the ambience though i keep worrying about green house effect. The building is made of glass






Plaza Sing is behind

we opt for a indoor seat maybe because of the consideration that it is near the road. but well, thanks to yan who make a reservation. it was a "slightly" crowded night with "events"

Food came slowly and one at a time. I kinda like the way they serve, just that one waitress was super erm.. dunno how to describe.


my clam chowder


yan's mushroom soup

both were great. and the clam chowder is too generous with ingredients.


giraffe salad

the salad was recommended, and i think it is pretty good, except that i really felt like a giraffe due to the veg feeling. the soft shell crab is normal and i started to have cravings for the soft shell crab at royal plaza @ beach road. *drools*


my main

the fries is yummy but the burger is too dry for my throat. i felt kinda horrible towards the ending and i gave up. suitable for ppl who like dry meat rather juicy.


yan's laksa pasta

it is terrific!! if i ever go back, i will love to eat this dish. (though my stomach may cry later). Baby will love it too!!


rose and white wine

we had order the wine as the burger is too dry and yan's pasta was too spicy for her.
well, there is one for one happy hour, so logically is worth it, BUT, they have a policy that one-for-one cannot be share between two person. So it means we have to have 2 sets of one-for-one. Sounds crazy to me. Pray god that swensens and coffee club ain't that mad. Anyway, the rose wine is so-so and white wine hurts my tongue. Afterall is house pour, i shouldn't be expecting that much either.

During the meal, we notice that some balloons were prepared at one of the table, and we got abit excited!! Someone is going to propose!!



The words on the heart-shaped were "Alicia, will you marry me?"
While eating, we were super excited to see the lucky Alicia, and to witness a proposal which we probably never did. Well, it was kinda disappointing at the end, coz we din saw the reaction we wanted. Yes, we watch too much drama and variety show liao. Real life isn't that touching.


only visible picture

hime with her favourite eye-makeup~ and esther praise her for the color too!
(but face too big liao la)

i heart yan's camera!! same brand, same mega pix, but thinner!! haiz~ does camera takes over the owners? or the other way round? but well, only happy that my screen is big. yes, i bought it for THAT purpose!! (to add on, yan's also cheaper lor!!)


Night views makes me drowy

after the whole meal, we drop by Plaza Sing and ended up @ Selegie for the famous beancurd!! Yummy Yummy!! Though i yet to understand why Jia Hao like the butterfly there, but the you tiao and xian jian bing is just super good that i have no choice but to da bao everything home for mum!! the beancurd is probably the best i tasted so far~ election-folks are so lucky to be able to eat there everyday!! I want eat their beancurd again!! (and maybe try the butterfly?)

Alone

emotional..

one left, another confirm flying, the final one waiting for confirmation to fly.
Among the ppl that i "hand-pick" to stay in my life forever, 3 of them has left, will leave, going to leave me...
though happy for them, i just help feeling sad, coz i'm like abit "all-alone" here.
(yes, bet, i know u wanna say still got u(java trio) + chris)

thank god that there is internet, i can still talk to one in japan.
and probably it will be the only source to communicate with all overseas.

boss, when u coming back? i getting more and more lonely here leh~

pershaps at times, i'm abit upset that i choose the "normal" path.
Grad -> work -> and probably marriage
probably i wish to do something else instead.
probably i'm just not satisfied.

i'm glad that a handful of them pick the same route as me, and thus i probably wun be that lonely.

i have some photos to be updated, but abit lazy coz it is dumpling festivals.
mayu, sorry, can't mail it over.
miya, prepare ur stomach for sunday.

i'll try to upload some pictures on sunday while reading the CIS doc.
HC, can dun read ma? 82 pages leh~ can tell me which to filter?
kinda hate hardening... so troublesome... bo bian.. work = money

Result 1: 2 Litres of water today~

9:00am : Reach Office, Gobble 100ml of water in. Stomach felt horrible when it is full of water. so yucky. But gotta drink more. Gum is swollen coz super heaty

10:00am : Drank another 50ml. Manage to fill my cup full again. Gotta help myself with more of the water in the mini pantry

11:30am : Total completion : 300ml of water. Need to finish the water in my cup to hit 600ml.. haiz~

12:00noon : Din drink water during lunch, had corn soup instead. Is that consider a source of water? i wonder. But higher in sodium i think.

3:00pm : finally finish the water in the cup and hit the 600ml mark. half a day is done. I doubt i can drink 1.4 litres by today. Gotta drink more!!

4-6pm: Drank a cup of milk tea. Water consumption starts to stop. Stomach feel very bloated. I think i can't make it

By end of the day: Drank another 300ml of water. and that's it. Total water consumption of the day is 900ml!

Target failed

Maybe i should try to aim at 1 litre instead.

Target 1: 2 Litres of water today~

Life has becoming meaningless when everyday is work and OT

Therefore i have to find some targets to hit each day which is simple yet tough to do.

For each target, i will write a simple summary of the reason, and at the end of the day, i will update with results..

My 1st target today is to drink 2 litre of Plain Water!!

it may be simple for most people but not true for me.

and this is probably the main reason for my fat-growing...

each day i drink less than 400ml of plain water, ever if i dun drink other juices.

well, if i stay in the aircon room all day, i can survive with only 100ml of water a day

so today is 2 litres of water!! Join me in hitting the target if you have such a problem too!!

the day after a suai day

is a good day... surprisingly.

work load is still heavy, but still doing, and probably progressing becoz i try not to stress myself too much. (i love giving myself impossible deadline)

but the month of may is ending and i can't helping feeling bad.

anyway, remember i mention about the broken phone?

i din even drop it or anything like that. i merely pick it up from the table and it broke. and i could even see the internal cables!!
horrible!! no more motorola for me. to think that the charger spolit and i just bought it!!

so i bought a new phone!!

before i purchase, betsy was searching ard M1 site to give me suggestions~ *hugz*

the suggested models is samsung pixon and my personal preference was HTC rose.

well, went to the shop, one is ugly and one is out of stock.

yes, you may be wondering why ugly.
i hate cameras with the round lens part, thus i bought sony cybershot without those lens. and samsung pixon has the lens parts, but much uglier than the one on cameras!!
so yucky that i have to gave up.

but in the last minute, i found this!!



i never used a QWERTY phone before!! haha~

i desire the red, but both red and blue is not available. Probably because they wanna introduce the new black color. so i had black in the end.

Functional and Display wise, i adore it. But it is kinda wide... well, Betsy has the same one!! *hugz* so funny!! she din even reco her phone to me, and i bought it!
Great mind thinks alike~!

Anyway, i hate to pay another $100 becoz my contract haven end. nevertheless, despite being super sad over the phone, and the inability to replace with a flip-flop, for the moment, i'm in love with my Nokia E63.

Cheers to a better tomorrow!

Continue my OTing~ (Short Break is over)

Summary of unlucky day

Traffic Accident - taxi hits a car. hime in taxi

Scolded by stranger - becoz i was booking seats in a busy hawker

Broken HP - i just hold it and it break into two pieces. top and bottom.

Of coz, also have other smaller things such as buy phone no phone, super long waiting time etc.

Anyone wanna come and let me cry?

皆、ありがとう

thanks everyone who came to ask about me after the super depressing saturday morning...

i have to admit that it sounds exaggerating, but it is kinda horrible when u try to code till morning, and at 3,4am, the screen went blue and it keep re-starting and u can't even shut down.

at one moment i thought i will break into tears~ well, i almost, close to tears.

anyway, this morning, it finally got repair through the miracle hands of my colleagues and boss. baby this tried yesterday, but due to my loss of memory of the admin password, he can do nothing. But that he is right that the admin password will help.

while we all thought that it may be bloody monday (aka virus), it turn out to be a driver problem. damn stupid lor~ and lame at the same time.

but luckily, no virus found and codes done on friday night was recovered, or unharmed.

But i wish it was solve on saturday, it will means that i can do more coding on sunday.

Now still alot of work to do.

Tonight's OT progress was great. Well, it was simple job so it was fast too. Manage to catch up with mayu twice. One regarding the unhappiness with the laptop, another is on binary conversion.

i think i can never survive a no-com day.

Sianzzz

so end up the whole night work dunno is gone or what.

fed up leh!!

then i sms and my boss and he appear online
then he concluded bloody monday -_-||
and we "became" falcon... haha..

so fun to have a boss who watch japanese drama...
anger from lappy crash become a BLOODY MONDAY joke..
dunno to cry or laugh~

i think i need to grow up...
till today i cannot tahan lappy crashes...
and i love all blue things except blue screen.
my heart always skip a beat when i see it..

so this morning, it skip at least 20 times.
i think i will age faster and probably die earlier...
better go buy anti-aging products~

arggghhhhh....!!

4am

i wanna cry!!

now is 4am, no progress in work!

becoz i'm fighting with blue screen!!

what the heck happen to the laptop~

i'm gging crazy!!

i cannot do anything and what i have done tonight may be lost.

i try to back up my stuff, it seems to affect my hard-disk too

i just wanna scream and cry~

Working hard @ home

hime is posting this from break of her work~

Update of progress!!

very very bad!!

Report of status

According to the way i calculate in the previous post

Current Status

Total no of task => 22 x 6 = 132
And i have completed => (7 x 6) + (15 x 2) = 72
which is 54%

so after two days, is only 12% increase~ haiz
super sad leh~

for the rest of 46%, i still need abt 46/6 = 7 to 8 days?

i think tonight i better dun sleep la~ just keep doing~

my target for the night is 70% completion, especially when monday morning i need go client side, so i cannot be doing this, and afternoon got meeting, still cannot do.
and by the time meeting finish, i probably have to go through emails, change of codes etc. (for those who know, the two tasks i have completed is pending major changes). Therefore, this weekend, die die must try my very best to finish all the 22 pages!! (T_T)

my working environment below~


the door of my working area from inside

my boss paste it such that we wun get stares from ppl. Sometime i wonder what he cannot do. it was paste so well lor~


my working area

yes i know it is super messy~


mini food corner

coffee, green tea, marshmellow contributed by jason
senbei from candice (her milo, peanut butter, bread, biscuit not shown here)
nuts from mei yin
the rest are from hime-sama.. hahahaha

now is 2am. 3 more hours to the collection of goat milk.

My Restaurant..

Picture Speaker Louder than Words

Popularity = 50.0 (the max!!)

OT spirit in the air

I'm damn super slow lor~

i was planning to finish 22 pages of coding by this friday, starting from last thursday.

and thursday, friday, monday, tuesday i only complete one page lor!!

yes i know, i was doing some backend codes, therefore no completed page.

but today one whole day to link the things, i only complete two pages lor!!

and each day there is sure to be some crap changes to obstruct my progress.

Already OT liao still cannot finish, how to survive?

left with thursday and friday. If cannot finish, i either have to go back on weekend, or if not, i gotta bring home and do.

Another option: extra extra extra OT on friday night (T_T)


The actual current status

The 22 pages actually have 6 sections
1. interface
2. load data
3. display data
4. validation check
5. manipulate data
6. save data

apart from page one - three which i finish all items 1 to 6, the other 19 pages, i have done with item 2 and 6.

Assuming all the tasks have the same weightage (obviously not true).
Mean total no of task => 22 x 6 = 132
And i have completed => (3 x 6) + (19 x 2) = 56
which is 42%

i took 5 days to complete 42%, and i left 2 days to finish up 58% (T_T)

haiz~ pray hard that tml 20 % can be completed ba~ i will spread the other 38% over the weekend.

Temptation of Wife 1 + hime

hime is someone with limited patient. the thought of 129 episode make me sian~ so i skip and watch epi 30, 45, and 129..

haha~

conclusion? yes, i'm gging to start from epi 1.

and i have already started.

now at episode 3.

anyway, eun jae was killed in episode 30, and her revenge officially started in episode 48.

i think i wun be able to feel her pain if i din start from the front.

anyway, work has been kinda hectic for me. i'll update about it again.

ja ne~

my new loots!!

I love them!!

Receive it on thursday last week via registered mail.
(Thanks mum for collecting for me)

i was so excited about opening it that dinner was skipped immediately.

i can tell you, they look much better than in photos!!

i couldn't take nice pictures of them, thus i ask Claire, the owner Fuchsia Dream for permission to use her photos instead. She argeed and therefore you get to see it!!

I have nothing but praise for the necklaces.

Everyone should go take a look at her website. She has much more to offer and i can't help wanting to buy all for myself!

I don't mind if any of you want to give it to be as pressie. Hahahaha.

Temptation of Wife

I dun like soap operas, but i never expect myself to be attracted to it.

129 episodes. how long to finish watching?

Haiz~

i miss baby~

this weekend is the weekend that i spent very little time with him
and probably next too.

friday went grocery shopping with sis and din meet baby for our usual friday dinner. however, next friday he will be busy to settle his bro's wedding on sat so he wun be free either. sad leh~

today i din get to see him either coz he gotta help his mum on some wedding related stuff as well as to celebrate mother's day. i miss him so much!!

yesterday he came to celebrate my side mother's day, enjoyed my cooking but private time was little. i can't wait for next sunday to come such that we will finally have time of our own. *hugz*

my new love (o^_^o)

Clarins Compact Powder!!

Remember i mention about the shopping with miya~ oh yes, is the powder i bought that day. Tried for 4 days and i have nothing buy praises since day 1.

used with a brush, it gives me a natural finish that look pretty.

used with the applicator/sponge, wow~ amazing~ i can bluff a great skin.

good coverage when used with my angel fit liquid foundation.

i can't help imagine how good the loose powder will be.

but my next loose powder to buy is Paul & Joe!!

If loose powder is to be used at home, then i want the lovely Paul & Joe!

Any other recommendations?

Saturday - Spinning Head (Part 2)

The part 2 was only abt 5 hours or lesser but it is super fun too!

Bought sushi to Godma house since mummy went to chill.

Aunt Debbie, Godpa, Godma, mum and i ate sushi, drink beer or wine~

The wine was heavenly and i swear that most red wine i took wasn't that good. i ended up drinking almost 3 bottles, and head started to feel weird. Haha... but well, alcoholic hime dun get drunk so easily. so no worries~


wine that i took


my mum's beer and my wine

anyway, there was a few funny stories.

Story 1:
Godma went foot-reflex and there was this chinese lady (from china) attending to her. This lady happen to say that she is born in the year of Dog. My godma, whose mandarin is probably horrible, remembers that my mum always say 蛇鼠一窝， recalls something related to dog and say "狗... 猪狗不如!" The lady got very angry and said that my godma scold her. My godpa immediately stand up and apologize to the lady saying that my godma dunno what she talking. He's right. She seriously dunno what it means. So after that incident, she swear of speaking mandarin in public, and request for a english-speaking person to attend to her.

Story 2:
Again is Godma story. I couldn't get what she was saying abt the background but i think is sth as follows:
She went to a salon in the neighborhood and saw her neighbor dying hair etc. The neighbor, let's call her "Mel", told my Godma that it is more impt for my Godma to look pretty than Mel needs.
Mel: "Because my husband wear untidy clothes to work and he is always messy. But your hubby is always wearing neat and handsome clothes and always smell nice. Somemore he always go vietnam. Dangerous leh"
LOL. Well, another side story is that she always can tell whether my Godpa has left house or not. The reason is that she gave is "the lift full of his perfume" Haha!
In the end, my godpa says he is gging to say "Hi" to the neighbor tml in messy and dirty clothes~ XD

Apart from funny stories, we talk abt Gay and Les because of AWARE in the news. Then also alot of skin care, after Uncle Woo came. He said my skin is better than my cousin who is 21 years old this year, and my godma says i take care of my skin everday. Well, i dun really, but i try my best to protect in the day and repair at night. Alot of the credits goes to my face masks.

Anyway, continuing the skincare topic, my God-ma says she buy La'Mier. I almost fainted. For those who dunno, La'Mier is like Queen of skin care. If you have it, you can throw SK-II to another planet. It is invented by a scientist who hurt his face and no doctor can cure him. So he created this to repair his face that is hurt during an explosion. Anyway, the price make me mad. 60ml , more than $400 bucks.

Well, it is for repair. I guess i dun need it yet. 20 years later can consider. So i have 20 years to save. If i estimate it to be $500 bucks, so 500/20/365 , i just need to save 7 cents per day. Can start saving~ Haha~

With my Uncle Woo's promotion, my cousin contact me on Sunday to ask for advice. So passing her some mask soon to let her try if it is good for her~ =)

Aging + Fat = Me

i'm a typical woman.

When i'm young, i wish to be 21 years old soon so that i can watch R(A) show.

but now~ after 21, i wish time slows and i dun age so fast.

the thought of aging scares me.

I'm not really worried abt turning 30, but maybe turning 35, 40, 50?

it sounds like a long way to go, but that the idea of it makes me shiver.

how will my skin be when i'm 35. will i grow even fatter?

i'm afraid of wrinkles, loose skin, or even pigmentation.

i noticed many ppl have (above 40), and i heard that having children may also cause skin pigmentation.

well, i really worry.

My sis and my sis-in-laws do not seems to have pigmentation after giving birth, but i can see it in my mum's face.

Is pigmentation a sign of aging?

at times i think of SK-II or even La Mier.

at times i think that acne skin means young but i dun mean i want that.

my clients thought i'm close to 30(age). Though my boss say it is because the way i thought.

issit the way i dress?

i scared that when i'm 35, i may dress like auntie.

But neither do i wanna dress like 18 years old.

i want to dress my age, but i tend to dress abit older.

i bought a dress that is for young ppl and when i wear it, i felt that i'm trying to act young. That's sound so despo.

I cannot bring myself to wear cute clothes coz i find it so disgracing.

It seems to be for ppl of 21 and below, or my nieces (in my humble opinion).

Sometime ago, i saw some auntie, maybe 50 yrs old, wearing mini-skirt. I almost wanted to faint.

When i grow old, i want to wear like susan, rebecca or lee tee.

They are the role models of dressing and i wish to be a role model of dressing when i'm old too.

Simple and classic.

Haiz~

Many ppl thought that revealing is my style.

No, that's not true.

You must know that we are in Singapore, a hot country.

I'll feel hot. Thus "they" will also feel hot.

Not that they wanna come and and see you. But just that the weather is hot and they will complain with water if i hide them from cooling areas.

But ppl who dun understand thought that i'm exposing myself.

But i do feel proud about it, yet i do not want to be a flasher.

i cannot stand ppl showing cleavage when they dun have.

Just like when you are fat, dun show your tummy. which i never do.

i started to wear clothes with long or 3/4 sleeve.

From picture (of me), i understand what mayu says abt arm.

i hate the picture taken in ELD during Christmas when i din wear jacket.
My arm look bigger than my face.

i always envy ppl with small face. *mine is huge*

and i always tell my mum she isn't fair coz sis face is small and my is probably double of hers. WHY?

*envy slim and tall ppl*

*envy generation z*

*envy young ppl*

i read some blog of ppl who are younger.

i kinda sad that i din really cheong when i'm young.

i seem to have miss some fun.

and now, if you ask me go cheong, i'll feel so out of the place, coz i'm like an auntie in the crowd. i rather go pubbing.

please take away my years and give me my youth back!

Saturday - Tiring yet Fun (Part 1)

This is the 1st time i went shopping with miyabi without mayu!

Seriously speaking, i was abit excited yet nervous. Coz we had never been out before alone and i do not know if everything will be smooth. But well, it was much better than i expect it will be!!

The day starting meeting miya @ tp mrt and i was so happy coz she said i lost weight! haha.. really thanks to uniqlo T-shirt which give me a good effect on the body size. But maybe it could be because an empty stomach w/o breakfast. So we hurried to coffee club to have our brunch and it was really good!! except that the mushroom soup is salty. after a 10-dollar voucher discount, the meal is abt $15+ per person and we have drink, soup and pasta. Kinda worth it @ coffee club. and in return, i get another $10 voucher!! so who is next?

after that we went paragon, centrepoint, OG and raffles city.

Suprisingly hime din buy alot of things except clarin's compact powder. was planning to get the loose powder (candice's recommendation), but i'm the type that brings the powder out. So compact is probably my choice? hmm~ try a few days, if not i'll probably hit the stores and get the loose powder too.

miya on the other hand, successfuly get her shoes and jacket from OG. The shoes is so good that she change into it immediately and felt comfy wearing~ i want shoes too!

we stop twice during shopping, @OG for a drink and J.Co for the donuts. Yummy!! i really love their donuts so much that i threw donut factory away from my list.
and we had complimentary donuts from them for getting a drink and i find the normal one is real good too. comparable to the fancy donuts!

After that, we went to Tanglin Mall to drop some donuts to miya's friends who were having a flea market at Tanglin. We were so excited that we were discussing maybe we should get one to sell my bags away, but the heat and the price of a small floor area ($85) melt our excitement and i think a blogshop may be better.


miya's friend, candid shot


their flea...


...and more

Then walking down to isetan scotts, far east, and last to toa payoh.

miya bought something to put her earrings and i was in love with one of the bags there. it was kinda cool yet funky. but it is too small for me, yet abit difficult to use it when we take public transport. so back to the shelf and we went back home.

hime's mum called when she was in TS and said she is gging to for happy hour, so miya and i went to sakae to get some sushi and went over for some party.

funny things happen during that "party".

stay tune for part 2.

252 Signal of Life

Why does the GV review says that it is not worth to watch?

i love it~

this is a show that makes my tear flow through out the whole show since the "tsunami" came in.

i like the little girl in the show!!



This is a MUST-WATCH!!

Dinner @ Mr Curry

I love waraku food regardless of which restaurant.

But personally i dun like the Curry @ Mr Curry.
Please note that i'm not saying that they are bad, but personally i dun like

Probably because of the mango, the slow service etc.

Baby has his food 1st and after he finish, my food wasn't here yet.

When questioned, the person say it was because of the lack of claypot that they use to put the curry as many were broken in the kitchen.

However, i also order a naan which requires no claypot and it not there yet.

ended up, i cancel my naan coz it was not ready after i finish my long-wait dinner.


hamburger & cheese stew


close up on the stew


crab-omelette set


we added extra prawn & kakiage

the kakiage was abit too dry. prawn is good yet tasteless

haiz...

if you love curry, u can try. It may suit you, but i definitely wun be back again..

i think i prefer curry flavor near city hall mrt.

I love my baby!!

He melts my heart.

No, he din give me flowers.
No, no diamond rings either.
No, no cash or credit.
No, he din cook for me
No, nothing of what you think.

He came over after a hard work at home cleaning his house toilet for his brother upcoming wedding two Saturdays from now.

And despite being so tiring, he came over and help me change my bed sheet, clean & mop the floor, clean the aircon and pack my room!

*HUG*

however, we had some fight in the night causing my eyes to be swollen now.
i think i love him too much, that's why.
maybe i love him more than he love me.

haiz~

Random Pictures in SG

Nowadays i bring my camera everywhere i go because i think i gotta make good use of it~
$700 spent and very little pictures have been taken. No justice.

Monday, while on my way to my client side, i mentally took note to take some pictures before i leave.

Some random photo below.


a red building opp my client building

It consists of many "companies" in that building and i took one section close-up





i dunno why i took this and some gers were laughing at me when i took it.

Courtesy Begins with Me~~

Remember this?

On the day before i meet the ELD Folks for 17 Again Movie, i took this picture while walking to the bus-stop. (seldom have the chance coz usually i will go to MRT station on the other direction)


The Main One

Alot of people may think that you can see them all around Singapore, but for your information, their home is at fort canning hill here. Come here and you see all~.


One of the Many

I only take picture of one white one coz many people started to stare at me as if i'm weird. Cannot understand. Nowadays picture blogging is so common so why on earth is this action catching so many people attention?

Anyway, i love this for the words it holds.

Please apologise when in the wrong

HDB

angry

i'm so irritated when i see this old folk HDB building in my neighbor hood.


half-way done liao

why? because i hate old people? No way~ i love old people (except bei bei and ah ma). But it is because of the name.


Picture Speaks Louder than Words

Why nowadays all HDB needs names?!?! My new flat has a name, and the old folks flat also have name, and why my name? i don't feel happy when it is the name for a old folk flat!!

*stomp out in anger*
