Things that i should avoid buying

... for at least till end this year or even next year..

This morning while dressing for work, i was thinking "how many new/unopened eye-shadow palette do i have?"

I grasped. 2 Lavshua, 2 Integrate, 1 from sephora, 1 Urban Decay and 2 Anna Sui
It was in the 2nd drawer so i open the 1st drawer and see.. Clinque eye-shadow only used twice. Haiz...

There are alot more that i cannot buy...

I'm using SK-II eye-cream, finally it is finishing.. But i still have 2 more eye-cream in queue. Estee Lauder & Laneige. I bet they can last me till nx June coz i have been using the SK-II since before wedding and it last me abt 4-6mths. To think that it is a small bottle and laneige is big.. OK, i guess i have enough eye-cream till Dec2013.

Bags... I love bags... and i have quite some and i'm saving for the next Designer Bag (maybe Celine).. so maybe i should stop buying 1st.. (Urgh..i just saw the green one at new look that i really like)

Shoes... after coming back from honeymoon, i bought approximately 8 pairs of shoes. One down (meaning like in bad condition), and most not even wore once. Yes.. i better stop buy HEELS in specific.

Foundation/BB Cream.. I have SK-II, L'oreal x 2 type, Maybelline x 2.... Enough till Dec2013 too

Hair Treatment... 2 big tubs + 1 tube + 10 one time use tube + 10 hair end treatment.... Enough till end this year i believe

Cleanser... at least 3 new bottles =(

Body Bath. Yes, i have erm.. too many bottles to count

Body Butter/Body Lotion/Hand Cream... COUNTLESS TOO

Mascara.. 1 lavshua, 1 Maybelline, 1 L'oreal, 3-4 Majolica, 1 Estee Lauder unopened

Eyeliner.. more than 5 and less than 10 from Majolica

CRAZY.... stock i have..

A little long weekend~

Thanks to Hari Raya Puasa, we had a slightly longer weekend that usual.

Extended to Monday, it makes Tuesday the new enemy for the working adults (or maybe student too), but well is only temporary..

3. Change Bedsheet & Quilt Cover - DONE
4. Buy extra quilt cover & go muji to get my drawers - DONE
5. Hang up Wedding Photo in MBR - DONE
6. Sort his Documents that are lying around in study room - DONE
7. Do my Japanese Homework - DONE
8. Bring down extra pillows and bring to mum's house - DONE
9. Choose wedding photos to develop for his/my relative - FAIL
10. ARH.. I FORGOTTEN - DONE

Well anyway, it was 8/10 for completion. =D

While ripping all the VCDs, i found some awesome movies of certain age like Inochi
So I dragged hubby to watch together~ haha.. he thinks it is awesome too... especially the scene where the baby was delivered (bloody). Super touching!

Apart from the task we did above, we also went mum house twice, including one game session where the lucky Cinderella won enough to cover our taxi for 2 days. =)

Seems like the "writing X task" each weekend works for us to get things doing~

How did you guys spent your long weekend? =)

July - Activities

XY ROM

I started July by attending XY ROM. Though some ppl supertitiously think that i should not attend since i just got married, but it is just ROM not customary and i not that pan-tang, so i don't really care. It was a fun afternoon! I reached earlier with J who came to drove me and we were busy setting up the place at before the guest arrive. Love the pictures i took that day, my face looks great. Guess i recall how i do my makeup that day. Perfect face contouring~ =)

HOT STONE SPA

Yan brought me to thomson to enjoy a complimentary trial of a hot stone spa. It wasn't amazing. Through out the 40 or 45 mins, we were asked to sleep on the HOT STONE, which i got bored after a while and sit up and start chatting with yan. Dinner was at a nearby korean restaurant that we spoke and discuss about life & money..

CASH STUDIO - DAM

This is one of my fav days in July. Though turn-up rate was bad, but mayu, shuhan & I had a great day singing & singing~ We had dinner in a Japanese Soba-ya at Paragon which i think that Shuhan's vegetarian set is much better than ours. ^^ I'm so happy that mayu is back to drama-ing!

Japanese Placement Test / Japanese Lesson

Went for a simple Japanese Placement Test at ikoma to determine which stage should i resume my Japanese Lesson. And yes, i started with my intermediate class in the same month! It feels great to be back in class. Targeting for my next JLPT Exam! Hopefully i can passed!

Shoes!

Bought very nice shoes from a shop in JCube (a place i generally wun go, unless under the command of Cinderella). Follow me on twitter to see more~

miya farewell

We had a simple dinner farewell at coca restaurant. miya who is gg for her JET program will be out of SG for 2y. (In fact she has already flew when i typed this). But this is not the last day i'll see her. =)

Universal Studio Singapore

Had an awesome triple date night with miya-vince, mayu-shuhan, me-cinderella. With these crazy bunch of ppl, i finally pick up my tiny courage and went on HUMAN with them. I totally regretted when i was up there. But it was ok when i came down, and i'm glad that i went on the right. BUT I WILL NOT GO UP AGAIN. hahahaha.. freaky.. All except Shuhan & i went on CYLON and Cinderella say that it was nothing. He wasn't booasting, just that it was really NOTHING to him. Now i know what freak i have married. Haha~

Cinderella's Birthday

I refused to take leave that day coz he said he couldn't take leave on my birthday as his colleague went overseas. So i kinda not happy with that colleague and him. Therefore, the celebration was after work, and we went St Regis to had dinner at Yan Ting. Pictures are all on FB. =) I'm too lazy to upload here. =P The awesome birthday was FREE from Marriott, coz it was the wedding cake voucher. Haha.. my "stingy" Cinderella say use that will do, dun spend $ to buy cake. =D

Steak Day

This round steak was at Tavern. The steak was pretty good, comparable to the steak at salt grill. The Foie Gras, was normal, not the best i eaten, but better than one at Lawry's. Best foie gras so far is at salt grill. Best steak is at Fat Cow.

Shopping Day

I haven been shopping in SG for looooong... Finally drag my hubby to do so with me after my Japanese Lesson. Sadly, i only shop for shorts, stationaries, Some skincare, & Household stuff.. Aw~~ i miss shopping with kkg!

Baby Shower

Attended a colleague's baby's baby shower. Babies are so cute! =)

This & Next month - August/September

My dates are fully booked except 29 Aug. =)
Start booking for September! =)

July - Drama Clean Up Project

We have started a new project in July called "Music-Drama Cleanup Project". ^^

Music-Drama Cleanup Project

1. Separate the CDs into 2 stack
a) To Keep e.g. Lucifer, Arashi etc
b) To throw e.g. Countdown Jpop 2000, Westlife

2. Ripped the music files to mp3 out for those "to throw"

3. Pick out all the VCDs

4. Ripped the VCDs

5. Convert all the rmvb files to mp4

6. Convert all the ripped VCD(.dat) files to mp4

So far we are still working on the above 6 steps (only step 1 is completed)

It is not easy. My AIO is working 24/7 to help in conversion and my Cinderella is complaining that the AIO needs a rest. >_<

I'm still ripping the VCD while Cinderella ripped the CDs for me. My 1.5TB external Hard-disk is almost maxed out. I need at least 3TB external Hard-disk to house my dramas.

Don't ask me to throw them away~ Dramas are my precious babies.

After this will be DVD & Anime.. Haizzz

Into June...

I have finally uploaded more honeymoon pictures on facebook.. was really alot of pictures and i'm still thinking how to sort them up before uploading. Apparently, my hubby dun cares abt sharing photos, so he totally leave it to me and now is his lala land.. 


June is finally here and i have not completed clearing the house (any volunteers?). I have yet to sort out the discs to give more space to the house. 


Last friday was a fun time shopping during lunch where i bought so much that i got a free luggage from laneige. =P a cabin size which i think should be pretty awesome for a short trip. 


Last night was a bad night. Daddy started his emo-ing. I'm praying damn hard that it will not happen to my Cinderella when he is old. If he really does, i'm gg to make him slip on his glass shoes and walk around SG.

We are now really taking care of our health starting from food. Avoiding dinner outside and stick to simple vegetable soup, or stir-fried veg along w some meat or fish for dinner at home. Rice is still available, but generally only hubby eats it. Breakfast we opt for fresh chicken breast meat as the sandwich filling and not processed meat such as ham. Once i finish all the processed food in the fridge, i will probably make sure they only appear like 10% of our household diet.

The good thing about having our own house is managing our own food. For instant, my mum gave us alot alot of food, but i can pack and eat over a period of time. In the past, my mum will probably force me to eat on the same day coz it is fresher~

Time for some light shows before sleeping. I learn to sleep earlier than usual. ^^

Calling a new flat "my home"

It may sound abit silly. But on the friday night after gg back from a date with MAX 5, i actually missed home. Missed my old home i mean. Coz on friday nights, i generally do not sleep early, may chat to wee wee wee hours with my mum and into bed after 6am(sat) and only wake up after the sun way high up & bright.

But busy really will help one to forget this. I kinda salute my friends who went overseas work or study for months or years. I guess they do miss home too, but i guess i'm kinda kiddish.

The biggest problem about marriage is accomodating another person. Mon - Fri, when no OT, no meet up with friends, i cook. Planning is very impt for this. Do not cook fussy food, and make sure food and be ready within 30mins - 45mins max. Sat - Sun, gotta go back my house or his house. When i request/suggest to go back on a fortnightly basis, my hubby will frown like a child who wanna go home right now. =( As a result, lesser private time after wedding, more "family" time.

Though said so much, hubby still gives me my private time. He knows that i need me-time, so he will give me my private time doing my web-stuff, skin-care stuff or drama stuff. However, i haven even start watching a japanese drama since back from honeymoon coz time is all spend on the taiwan variety. Maybe can catch up on some this weekend..

Sunday, we finally fixed up the outdoor shoe-rack. Alot more of touching up, deco and fixing to do. we are now ripping the VCD & DVD into our hard-disk so that we can have more space to accomodate my massive barang barang.. In fact, i can "proudly" say that i took over 90% of the storage space at home, and i gotta clear to drop the number 80% coz hubby makes me feel he very poor thing.. (and plus sales is coming)

So if you guys are interested to know when is house-warming.. I guess it wun be so soon. I'm hoping to have one by July, but highly dependent on when my wedding album is ready, i would love to share the photojournal with all of you.

Hopefully more updates during this weekend. + photos~

How's marriage life?

Finally back to my essay days~ ^^ 


2012 is a real hectic year for me. So bad that for this is the 2nd post of the year. But if you follow my tweets, you still get live updates of me!


So finally, 21 April 2012 we finish the customary wedding. It was a dream wedding. I had the string quartet to play live music, and i have wedding tickets design by yun, custom-made angbao box by the gers, dessert bar and many many more awesome stuff~ i'm waiting for the pictures from photographer and will be posting up on facebook. 


After wedding, we had days of packing & packing for the honeymoon! I'm really really happy that we went europe and it was really fun~ more updates later and till then..


Meanwhile, it is alot of unpacking, washing and till i'm back on track, i will hold my house-warming~ ^^


P.S.: I'll pull out some nice photos and blog on it shortly.. Tata~

Crap before Maid Arrives

MOM rejected my application for a maid becoz we use Joint-Employment Scheme.

Parties to blame
MOM - Inflexible
Maid Agency - not good enough w MOM Schemes

Some background information:

We wanted to employ a maid from myanmar to help us in day-to-day household chores. As i will be moving out approximately 6 months from now, i think that it will be better if we employ now so i have some time to teach her how to accomodate to our family life-styles as well as making her a part of the family before.

Therefore, after some research, i got into this agency becoz i like the maid 1st impression from the photo. Her CV/Resume/Bio-data seems to be what we are looking for. After 1 hour or less discussion with mum, we are ready to employ her.

The agency gave documents to fill in such that she can apply as a Joint-Employment Scheme for us. Currently, regardless if i'm the employer or my mum is the employer, we are entitled to concession levy due to my dad's age. However, this is no longer application for me if i change the address on my NRIC. Therefore the best opinion is to put my mum's name, but since my mum is not working, there is a need to submit somebody(which is me)'s income tax to proof our ability to employ a maid. So anyway, the in-charge in agency say "Can can, Joint-Employment!" WTH. Her lack of knowledge gives me more problem because MOM rejects my application based on the following rules

For Joint-Employment Scheme, both employers need to be working and the salary as an individual is not enough to qualify to employ a Foreign Domestic Worker

Then the stupid agency person says "But you cannot apply under sponsorship scheme becoz you are staying together!" WTH! Joint-Employment also cannot wat! You dunno say dunno, dun act smart, tell me you dunno and i would have called MOM to check before submitting the application, wasting a good 3-5 working days of waiting.

Anyway, now, the application is with MOM, waiting for approval. In such scenario, just apply under sponsorship scheme and with a signed-letter, explain that the sponsor is moving out of the house soon so would prefer someone(w no income) living in the house to be the employer. It has to be manual submission with the letter, and cannot use online application. For all scenarios that you are unsure, i suggest that leave a msg at the MOM website, and they will get back by latest next working day. Forget about calling them, their hotline sux.

Totally crap ass.

By the way, in case you are wondering why we din apply using Fixed Deposit Statements, coz it is a hassle for my mum to travel down to do the barang barang, so i rather settle for her. =)

Maid from Myanmar

Next year, i will be moving out from my current house. Part of "care-giving" policy, decided to get my parents a maid. They prefer one from myanmar, so now we pending for her arrival, Documents have been completed, now pending MOM approval and things to move forward. Personally, i like her from the photo, hopefully she will help to make things better at home.

Collected keys on 14 Sep!

Back-dated post coz you know, after get the keys, alot of barangs to handle.

14 Sep - Collect Keys Day!

Super proud owner of a happy unit in Natura Loft. Collected the keys, and follow FIL & MIL to do some praying before we go in. Mum came too, surprisingly stood there quietly and act like a passer-by. Some un-understandable steps in praying etc, but nvm.. just follow lor.. Hubby went back camp, while i went to buy some barang barang. Bought us a pair of matching slippers from Ripple, only to realise that i buy the wrong size for him. He say he is not size 8. =( must remember again, is 9! I even train down to ikea for my happy red dustbin. ^^

15 Sep - PM leave, SP Services is coming~

Finally get my water & electricity! Those who buy a dbss will need to consider that they should ask for a turn on schedule on the day they collect the eys, 14 Sep was horrible, no water, no air-con. 15 Sep was wonderful. i enjoy the cold air from the aircon and the ability to wash my feet~ *happy* And immediately, i bought a red pail with matching mop for hubby to clean the house!! *evil*

17 Sep - House Inspection + Gas switched on.

Very happy to have da jie & yan to help us on house inspection!! My house was like full of masking tapes with label after the day. Gas was switched-on on the same day and we finally had hot water coming out from tape. *happy x2* Dad came over to peek at the new house, BIL bought us lunch. Little Shannon was very happy running in the small but empty house. Godpa & Godma came over for a sneak preview too. Thanks everyone including yan's parent who gave us a lift home.

After 17 Sep (the day we submitted defects), we spent our time finding more defects and checking on old defects. Slam table is a very important step in this phase. Good luck to me.

Hard Time vs Happy Time

Recently, life have been very messy.

1. Got my keys & busy time
2. Some issues @ home making life tougher.
3. Other things regards to wedding is on going
4. New project awarded, old project not closed, double busy.

Follow me on twitter if want more updates. But be all prepared to see complains.

Will update soon ^^

Polling + Photoshoot + Ramen

A hectic month is coming to the end with listening to stories from the different candidates. In fact, i wasn't very concern about it. Read up before the day to vote and make sure i know how the 4 ppl were. As far as i know, i make a valid vote. It seems like i have successfully build a can't be bothered attitude such that i din care abt the election, nor the pre-wed photoshoot. The only thing that got me excited was the phone call on 26 Aug from Hubby that we are getting our keys in Sept!! =D

From Polling to my long weekend

27 Aug - Election

Woke up in the morning with a hungry stomach. Coz was OTing till freaking late the night before and din had dinner. Brother came and gave me buns but i wasn't in the appetite. It was polling day, so i took a ride in bro's car and went over the PS to cast my vote. went home to rot infront of the TV for a while coz i nv watch TV for long. Then went back and mug some korean drama before dressing up to meet Max 5 for BBQ session. I dunno if i'm suay or what but the 2 BBQ in the month failed due to the rain. so we had steam boat instead.

Pin bought Tea Machiato for us which makes me totally hooked over it.

After steamboat, we played games related to Chinese Language and it is damn funny. I love them for the fact of the similiar level of Chinese such that we can enjoy such games. And they gave me another reason to love them! They bought me a mahjong table and mahjong set for my bday!! *hugz* exactly what i need for my new house!! I hope yun will win with this set! =D

28 Aug - Bridal Fitting again

Bridal Fitting for alteration in size before the photoshoot. The lady was so nice to remove the 2 awful gem for me as i really dislike them. After fitting, i wanted Hubby to try Freshness Burger Onion Rings but only to realise NEX Freshness Burger is closed =( Wendy's does not look appetiting, so we ended up in Wala Prata, which turns out to be pretty good. *happy*

30 Aug - Preparing for Photoshoot + Mooncake

Last minute prep, do gelish nails, cut hair. The UV lights to dry the gelish nail polish is damn hot compared to the 1st time i do. I secretly suspect that it is gg to make my hands dark. =(

After mani-pedi, i met up with Hubby for a good lunch at Togi. At times i need my korean food replenish. I love Togi food, and i'm looking forward to trying Kim's one day. Since at that area,

Hubby & I went majestic restaurant to pick up some mooncake for my Godma. I seriously think Majestic Baked Skin Mooncake rox, but i cannot say the same for the snowskin.

01 Sep - Back to ZHSS

I was almost in tears when i see Mrs Koh. I din get to see her when i was back previously and is really happy to see her. Mr Choo increase his size by approx 50% from 10 years ago (Man in middle-age). After 10 years, i still see him getting beaten by secondary school girls. Wonder if he is M too. Ms Tan (bio teacher) has moved to another school, gotta email her soon to keep in contact.

02 Sep - Photoshoot

Am i the only bride who is not interested in Photoshoot? Apart from waste a day of leave, i need to wake up early, reach there to do my makeup & damage my hair with tons of styling products and curling tools. We had indoor photoshoot till 4pm, then proceed to 3 different places for outdoor shoot. Sis was so sweet to pop by with lunch and drinks for us. After the whole day of physical torture, i thought i will be really dead-tired but no. I reached home and cooked penne for Hubby as dinner ^^. However, that night i slept early and for 8 hours, which is very rare for a little sleeper like me.

04 Sep - Ramen Champions

A sunday that i woke up early but have nothing to do. I spring-clean my whole room while waiting for Hubby to have my 1st meal of my day, aka dinner. I decided to go for Ramen Champion at Iluma after reading tweets from kevin in the morning regarding bario ramen. Tried bario & tetsu ramen. i prefer the bario's soup but prefer tetsu noodles. As tetsu's gyoza is not my taste, i went in search for nicer gyoza and ended up at ikousha.

After buying the gyoza, a small incident happen.

When walking back to my seat, someone called me. I looked at the person and think if this person is from zhss, nyp, nus. Nope, all wrong. then i look at ppl ard him and got a shocked. And i walk off... T___T How on earth can i forget someone who i just saw few days ago and just msg like minutes ago? =( Damn paiseh after that such that i msg the person to apologize. especially for walking away!! I think i was freaky rude!! =(

Shoes + Steak + CC Club

This year august practically overlapped with the lunar 7th month. No particular superstition but alot of praying, burning of paper etc.

What i do when the pres-candidate were trying to get votes

13 Aug - Leaping Lizard

Leaping Lizard is the place i made my shoes for my ROM. I love how comfy it is such that i dun really mind the cost. It was really worth while and pretty. Hubby went down with me to the shop coz i wanted to make a pair of shoes for work. However, to my horror, they have decided to fold the business and the last order was on 11 Aug (I was 2 days late). Upsetn & shocked, but nice Wendy (from the shop) let me order shoes!! I can't wait and i make one for wedding, one for work, and one for night activities (wedding dinner etc). 3 pairs turn out to be $800 with the 3rd pair being the most expensive. But it is all worth-while!! Can't wait to do shoe fitting!

14 Aug - Vegan Burger

Woke up early to cook to pray coz it is the 15th of the 7th month! By 11am, completed most stuff and get myself ready to go out. Was having a very lazy mood and just dress and go out w naked face.

Met up with shuhan for a simple nice lunch at Vegan Burger as a simple meetup ard my bday. Shuhan is really nice to accomodate to my horribly-packed schedule =). kkg went along and i would say the place is really interesting... Just that i'm carnivore. But this is really good once in a while =D

16 Aug - Walking back home from Boon Keng

Met up with ah boy & euxil for dinner at a teochew restaurant at boon keng area. Dinner was very filling and we decided to walk back. It was really a nice stroll crossing overhead bridge @ CTE & PIE. Ended our journey somewhere near kkg house and cab home from there.. kinda =__=..

17 Aug - Robinson Closed Door Sale

Who says we need to take leave for such sales? Make good used of your male colleagues!! We had lunch at Raffles City, and i pull the guys into robinson with me. It was great to have them queuing for me while i fight w the ladies at the Clarins counter. After i'm done, the queue is still very long and the guys were at mid of the queue. LIM went up to pick some shirts from lvl 3, which proves to be a good buy!!

19 Aug - Dinner at Prime Society

If you follow my twitter, you will know that this steak is freaky good that i really think i can never eat another piece of lower grade steak. I had white wine for a starter which was perfect, then steak with a bottle of wine. The meal is so awesome! The total bill turns out to be over $300 and the payer wanted to pay for the whole bill... *guilty*

20 Aug - CC Club

BBQ failed again. Heavy rain came and go. I prepared stuffed mushroom for pot-luck. Love beehoon prepared by ros's mum. Ros's sis have this bottle of alcohol which claims to be 80%. I finish half a bottle and i think i was more steady than ever. Hard to believe it is 80%. Finally get to see Jaemin Chairman and Molly unni (who i really like). It is so fun sitting near them coz i get to eat all the kim bap that Jaemin makes! Stories abt her young days and work are really very interesting!

Sixter + Birthday + National Day.

August is my birthday month. To me is a month that is damn special and i seriously adores everyone who were born in August. =P Usually i will do alot of special thing in the month of August to make myself happy but working really makes the month sux.

Some summary from end July to start of August.

30 Jul - Mattress Sale + Mahjong!

Slumberland is my fav brand for bed & mattress. With recognition from the Royal Family, i have no doubt that it is good! Hubby like this $3k mattress which i think is too crazy to buy. We went to slumberland sale and OMG, it was a steal. The $3K mattress is seling for $1.5k. No doubt, we snapped it, and even bough a set of bed frame + mattress for my dad at < $1.5k (Queen Size). We seriously left the place super-duper happy.

Then i met up with Max-5 (Max-4 that day) to play mahjong at yun's house. Yun's luck still nv improve. I hope she can gain back her victory in my new house with the new mahjong set (details on the next post)

31 Jul - Sixter meetup!

My bridesmaid were damn fun!! 5 of the sixters met up. Though i have indicated that we will not meet unless all are available, but euxil was sick on that day. After small discussion with the maid-of-honor, we decided to proceed with it~ I'm so glad that the gers can get along with each other and we actually spent quite some time in the restaurant talking. Lovely bridesmaids, started on what games to play with etc! And also thankful that each of them willing to help me with some crappy chores for the wedding. Ain't i fortunate? <3

03 Aug - Birthday

Had to go back to work due to an important presentation. Lunch was bad, but thank god the gers in the office got me a small cake before i rush for the afternoon presentation. After presentation, LIM bought me a bday cake from Canele!! After some googling, i realise the cake cost $80!! very generous of him! especially when my boss suppose to pay but he say he will pay instead. i was told that he even eat snake to walk to raffles city to buy when we having presentation.

Dinner was at Todai but was nothing great. Though alot of variety, but i think the quality is average good. Hubby say i have a pampered tongue. So too bad, it isn't up to my standard especially for a bday dinner. I think i will skipped buffet and go for good quality food from now on.

Hubby bought me a cake from metrocakes *copycat*. Nice dark knight that was so good that my bro keep praising when he ate it the next day ^^

06 Aug - Bridal Fitting

As 02 Sep was the photoshoot, we had to go one month in advance to choose the gowns etc. In fact, there are 2 white gowns for me, one which i will wear on the actual day, while the other one for outdoor shoot. I won't say that what i have choosen is fantastic, but i think the actual day gown complements. The evening gown is in a gorgeous color, but the sequins & gems makes me feel very "foreign". But well, the lady is nice enough to let me choose another evening gown closer to my wedding date, as well as the tea-dress(coz i rejected the gua)

07 Aug - Makan with kanojo-tachi

A belated bday celebration for me. But afterall, i seldom pre-celebrate with ppl coz i love celebrating in the month of August to make August wonderful. Hop to my grandma place in the morning to give my godma her bday red packet, and i even got one in return. ^^ Then at abt 2:30pm, rush off to thomson plaza to meet the gers!! We had nice dim sum at peach garden and again conclude that dim sum is not for our age. We cannot eat as much as we does previously. The dim sum as usually is really good. I think i have came here with many of my friends with exception of Max-5 & poly-friends.

09 Aug - Shopping for more discount~

As August is birthday month, i get 20% discount or more for many of the shops that i holds a membership. Bought some clothes from espirit including some baggy shorts & 3/4 for home wear. Also bought some nice clothing for Hubby too! I love his pink-blue top & his V-neck T-shirt, but he dun like the V-neck coz he is not used to it.

Abit too lengthy so i gotta split it into a few parts....

Totally packed.

Before i go completely missing, it is time to remind that i'm alive. =P

I had alot of meetups since july and is scheduled all the way till sept.

This month i went for bridal fitting and will be doing it again around end of the month. Coz I will be taking my pre-wed photoshoot in starting of September.

September is also another busy month. Will be taking keys and doing inspection, follow by house renovation. Meanwhile will need to pack stuff that is to move to the new house. In fact hubby & i cannot decide what to throw away coz i have too much things!!

I have alot of stuff to give away. (e.g. DVD, collection of winkup, CDs) Maybe i should blog and see any takers. =)

Soon will be packing the winkup magazine, maybe kkg will be able to sell for me =D

Or probably some stuff i should bring to cash convertor? i even have a film type of camera. =S

Hubby bday celebration - food story

Saw from online about a shop call shin yuu which offer japanese buffet at pretty affordable price. Hubby like the food, but i find it so-so. He thinks i'm totally spolit.

But the sake is pretty good. so i was wondering that it should be izakaya instead

Just images of food....


Nice mentaiko prawn with eggs


complmentary from restaurant


best of the 3


complimentary oyster that i dun like


sashimi - soso


nice chawamushi


Good dory with cheese


Super good fried garlic rice!!

Dun think i will go back again.... As i age, buffet is pretty meaningless to me.

Hubby bday celebration - cake story

I ordered cake from metrocake which is freaking good! So good that i told hubby, no need surprise, just give me "dark knight" for my bday. LOL

I bought him "duke of earl" which literally suit him alot due to his liking for tea.





Each cake is place on a leveled box, where knife & cutlery were given,



Very thoughtful!! *BIG SMILE*



And hubby finally reach 30 years old which i'm pretty amused it. Feels like a different gen.



Last but not least i had my slice of the lovely cake. =)

On leave today!! *happy*

Maybe should pop by somewhere for some good unagi. I have been avoiding since it is high in calorie.

Last Weekend and upcoming activities

MoS water anyone?

Usually when i plan my weekend, i will keep one day to meet up hubby and one day or 0.5 day to meet up with friends. For cases when it is 0.5 at night, i usually do not meet hubby coz it is too troublesome to meet for half a day if we do not have particular activities. So it will be "me-time". Anyway, i scheduled my Sat to meet up with VJC for a PES session. However, it failed, due to little boy's fever. Thus we postpone it to 16th, believing that he will recover by then.

As i was already out of my house, i make my way to the west side of singapore, such that i can have a meal with my in-laws at night. Dinner was at Neo Garden and it was seriously fun talking to MIL when she tell me stupid things that my hubby did when he was young. FYI, i seldom do stupid things. i do intelligent things that stupid ppl think it is stupid =P (just joking)

Sunday, was a day with of schedule. From lunch - meeting the financial advisor - movie - buying dinner from chomp chomp. Transformer is good. I cried again (and my brother laugh when i was telling him about it), I cried through 3 transformers and most ppl cannot understand. But nvm... i think it is ok =)

The next few weeks are pretty packed for me, so for anyone who wanna meet, faster snatch a slot k? LOL.

It is really fun to have ppl who drink with you. Most of my friends can't drink much. When i say drink much, i mean drink to drunk or drink at least half a bottle of hard liqor or 1 bottle of wine. Glad to have these ppl who drinks and we had fun mixing the different type of weird drinks together. =)

Jaemin, who invited me to join CC Club, din come. =( I heard she went back to her mars, venue or jupiter. Hope she don't launch an attack soon. =P

Definitely looking fwd to the next outing!

P.S.: Failed BBQ becoz Jaemin din come, so no grill!
